Chapter 20 Embroidered tent incense
The eldest lady's lunch has always been eaten by Yunzhou. A year ago, the eldest grandmother entered the door and was supposed to serve her mother-in-law. But because she was pregnant soon after, she gave birth to the grandson of the Xie family, and the eldest lady took pity on her and sold a good one to her in-laws by the way, so she was not asked to serve.
At this moment, Yun Zhou first set the dishes and chopsticks for the eldest lady, coerced the best dishes, and then sat down with the eldest lady. The eldest lady gave her vegetables again and persuaded her to eat more.
Yun Zhou smiled and pushed: "If you eat it again, I will become a pig!" When the time comes, hum, hum, arch beside my wife, my hands can't wrap around my stomach, and ask my wife if I don't like it! ”
"This girl can tease! Why is that it! The eldest lady smiled and took her shoulder, "Look, isn't it just right for this bone to stop and flesh is even!" Isn't it necessary to be like Miss Lin, who is blown away by a gust of wind, so that she is called a beautiful woman? I don't believe that. ”
Yun Zhou half-lowered his head, and said with a warm smile: "Sister-in-law is plump!" It's a pity that it's hard to give birth, but I hope she gets better soon. ”
The eldest lady frowned slightly, thinking that the eldest and youngest grandmother had rested for so long after giving birth, and it was really too squeamish. As a mother-in-law, she wants to have a good reputation, and she is not restrained for the time being, she herself does not rush up to serve, but she is a little pampered and coquettish. Because the eldest grandmother gave birth to the eldest grandson, the eldest lady is not easy to talk about her. Even in front of Yunzhou, it is inconvenient to say.
Just because Yunzhou is not the biological daughter of the eldest wife.
I heard that Yunzhou's mother was a good sister of the eldest wife, and her father was a very cultured son. Both father and mother met with an accident and died together, and Yunzhou was carried to Xie's house. The eldest lady is not kind, so she accepts her as a daughter and treats her as her own. However, the word "if", after all, is different from the word "is".
She digressed the topic: "You said that Miss Lin and her brothers came from afar......" her voice lowered. Yun Zhou's voice was as low, and Su Su talked with the eldest lady for a while, and the ideas she gave were all pertinent. The eldest lady smiled and coerced her with chopsticks and prawns: "Come from Dinghai, eat more!" ”
Yi Li missed lunch, slept until the afternoon before waking up, opened his eyes, saw the red sun hazy, embroidered tent incense, and didn't know where it was for a while.
He is a seedling that has been repotted, because he is young, the root system is already very shallow, and if he moves, he doesn't seem to see any harm. In fact, only he knows that he is hurting a little.
He felt that his feet were vain, and if he stepped on the clouds, he would be so ethereal and uneasy.
Turning his head sideways, the tip of his nose brushing against the pillow, he could smell the scent.
He remembered that it was incense that "belonged to Sister Jade".
In fact, this pillow is not the pillow used by Lin Dai. Called sister and brother, this bed can be used for him to sleep in, but the pillow quilt is not enough. Miss Boudoir, the call of the golden slave and the silver maid, was also thoughtful in this little thing, and when he was left to sleep, a set of bedding was changed. The left and right stepping beds are so big, and there are so many quilts in the lattice next to them, which are enough to change dozens of times.
This pillow was a newly taken pillow, and Lin Dai had not been hit at all.
But this bed is the bed that Lin Dai slept in after all. Some of the breath of the Lin Dynasty is left here. And this pillow has been washed, dried, and smoked with the same fragrance as the clothes used by Lin Dai.
So Lin Dai felt that it was oozing with the exclusive fragrance of Yusheng. Buried the tip of his nose in the pillow and took a deep breath, he felt much more settled.
When Mama Qiu and the others saw that he was awake, they served him and got up. Lin Dai sat under the window of the living room. Outside the window, the two hibiscus trees are not high, not in the time of flowering, only the leaf shadow is sifted, and there is a vein**. I don't know where the fragrance of jasmine came from. Lin Dai was playing with two boxes of fat powder.
Just looking at the box, it's different.
The pair of boxes is the same bamboo root dug out, as a square victory shape, the sky covers the earth, the style, the cover and the foot inlaid with light-colored bamboo springs, the whole body with carving, round carving and other techniques to make a medicine picking old man, and a pair of fairy apes. The old man was tall and long-haired, clear and strong, pedaling on grass shoes, sitting next to the medicine hoe, smiling on the exquisite mountain stone, looking back, looking at the fairy ape in the forest. Although the two immortal apes were fur-clad animals, it was difficult for their expressions to change, but those eyes were full of aura, staring at the old man and concentrating on speech, as if they were alive. Connected together like this, it is completely a long box, and I can't see any flaws, but when I open it, there are two boxes, an old medicine box and a fairy ape box, which are independent and interesting.
The old medicine box contains incense powder. The fairy ape box contains balsam. Yu Sheng likes the smell, slightly fragrant, I can't say what the ingredients are, in short, it is very elegant and subtle, just suitable for summer days.
This box is cool to the touch, like a fine jade, not to mention the exquisite carving and lifelike. Yi Li was overjoyed when he saw it, and said, "Sister, I want to play too!" ”
"Where's the toy for you!" Yu Sheng smiled and showed him the small words at the bottom of the box, "What are you talking about?" Palace. What is palace use? ”
Contemporary utensils are divided into four classes. The first category is civilian. Private manufacturing, private circulation. From the things burned out of the broken kiln in the field, to the works carved by the old artists invited by the boss with a lot of money, they all belong to this category, the price and quality are very different, and the styles are varied, and it goes without saying.
The second category is for official use. Government customization often has a specific purpose, not necessarily particularly exquisite, but the quality is guaranteed.
The third category is palace use. It is mainly used in the imperial palace. In addition, all princes, princesses, and princes, whether they live with the emperor or move out, can also receive such utensils to use, and even reward people with them. This vessel is precious, but not rare.
The highest category is royal. This was entirely for the personal use of the emperor. The concubines around the emperor can also be stained. But it is never allowed to be circulated privately. If the emperor is pleased, he will take this reward, and the person who receives the reward must also offer it, and it cannot be circulated again. This kind of imperial weapon is rare, and if you don't enter that circle, you won't see it again.
The thing in Lin Dai's hand is a palace vessel, and it is already the highest level utensil that the people can see. The Lin Mansion boasted of being rich, but there was no palace vessel. The pair she has in her hand now, even the fat powder from the box to the inside, is all sent by Wanliu.
Wan Liuji also said: "It's just an old vessel, and it's packed with some fat powder that can be used in the summer, and it's just a naughty girl for the girl!" ”
Fortunately, Yinggu knew the goods and quietly told Lin Dai. Lin Dai hurriedly praised and thanked him, and quipped: "This is an old vessel? If I really use it as a stubborn man, I should fight it. ”
Wanliu praised with a smile: "Sure enough, the girl knows the goods!" This was given by a prince in Beijing a few years ago. "Because Su Su said something about the Beijing style, it was fascinating. At the time of leaving, Yinggu had already prepared a suitable small giveaway, and Lin Dai personally stuffed it into Wanliu's hand.
At this moment, Yi Li also gained insight when he received the deed, stared at these extremely precious boxes, touched them with his fingers, and didn't dare to be abrupt, but his stomach screamed. Mama Qiu and others have already brought snacks.
