Chapter 267: Scouting Guqin
"Queen Mother, these two new clothes can't be deleted, your original clothes are old, the emperor will scold the slave when he sees you wearing old clothes." Yun Jin tried to fight for it.
"Hehe, Yunjin, don't worry, the emperor won't blame you. Taizu often warned the emperor to be frugal, but the emperor dared not listen to Taizu's words? Empress Xiaoci Gao also often sewed and mended for the harem concubines. They are still like this, how can we be extravagant and wasteful as younger generations? ”
"Queen Mother, but you still have to dress carefully to attend some important ceremonies. For example, what envoys from North Korea and Japan came to visit, if you dress shabby, will you lose face for our Ming Dynasty? ”
"When the emperor ascended the throne, and when the palace was canonized, those two sets of gorgeous clothes were still very new, enough, don't keep doing it. In winter, you can wear it to keep warm. ”
Xu Miaojin likes this queen even more in her heart, from the outside to the inside, from a smile to a word and deed.
Will such a queen frame Zhu Gaosui? But how could a person like Zhu Gaosui who follows the rules despise the queen? Who the hell is the two of them lying?
"All right, Queen. If you want to make clothes at any time, let's inform the treasurer again. Yun Jin was very helpless, "That charcoal fire can't be reduced!" If the mother freezes, the joints will hurt again, and the body will be damaged. ”
"Okay, it's up to you." The Queen's hand never stopped. When Yun Jin was bargaining with the queen, Xu Miaojin's eyes turned several times on the guqin.
"Alright, you go, that's all." Yun Jin frowned, as if Xu Miaojin had deducted their use.
"Hmm." Xu Miaojin collected the list and left Kunning Palace.
On this visit, she received nothing but the kindness of the queen.
Mei Ning brought two new crafts, meat dumplings and Sixi dumplings.
"I ate sweet last time, and this time I tried the salty one. Miaojin, look at whether I am good at making sweets or savory. ”
Mei Ning opened the food box, and the aroma of zongzi leaves and cured meat came to her nose.
"Wow! Just smelling it makes my mouth water. "Xu Miaojin is very popular.
"Really? Then I will leave the palace in the future and go to open a dumpling shop, hahaha! ”
"Well, I'll go to your shop to play the piano, so that it can attract a lot of customers!" Xu Miaojin paved the way for his following words.
"Can you play the piano?" Menin went into the set.
"Well, I can play, and I like the guqin very much."
"Miaojin, playing the piano is everyone's girlfriend's business, so you must be a everyone's girlfriend? How did you go to the palace to do chores? ”
"Hey, it's a long story, and the family is in the middle." The sadness in Xu Miaojin's eyes came as quickly as the fragrance of meat dumplings.
Mei Ning hurriedly changed the topic: "Speaking of guqin, the queen mother's guqin made by King Ning herself, what is it called 'Waterfall Lianzhu'." ”
"Waterfalls? Wow, I've heard that it's a blessing to be able to look at it. Hey, yesterday I went to Kunning Palace on an errand, and I wanted to take a look at the qin, but I didn't see it at all, but it's a pity. The next time I go back to Kunning Palace, I don't know what year and month it will be! ”
The fat of the meat trickled down the corners of Xu Miaojin's mouth.
"Hahaha, hahaha, look at what you tasted!" Mei Ning pointed at the corner of Xu Miaojin's mouth, "Do you still want to see it?" ”
"Mei Ning, do you have a way?" Xu Miaojin didn't bother to wipe the corners of her mouth.
"Your sister, I have a solution! Not only can I show you the piano, but I can also let you touch it! Mei Ning was full of energy, as if he didn't take everything seriously.
"Mei Ning, you are too powerful, if you can let me touch it, it will really be in vain!"
This kind of benefit, which is usually rare to everyone, is like a fairy reward in Xu Miaojin's eyes.
Mei Ning felt that she had picked up a bargain, and her efforts made Miaojin owe her a big favor.
"I go to Kunning Palace on an errand, often when there is no one. Because of the heavy dust, I had to wait for the queen to leave Kunning Palace before going on an errand. ”
"Mei Ning, you want to take me with you?"
"That's right, you just make some excuses, saying that you have something to ask in Kunning Palace, isn't it okay?"
"Well, ginger is still old and spicy! When did you arrange for the Kunning Palace to be sprinkled and cleaned? ”
"The day after tomorrow."
The day after tomorrow will be here in the blink of an eye. Xu Miaojin imagined all kinds of possibilities and overturned all kinds of ideas.
Before going to Kunning Palace, she didn't have any plans, so she could only act at the opportunity.
In the queen's dormitory, only Xu Miaojin, Mei Ning and the two servants brought over by the secretary of the Shang Dormitory Bureau were left.
Four or five eunuchs and palace maids from Kunning Palace were busy outside the dormitory.
Nothing else to do will stay in the dormitory, and no one wants to touch the dust on their faces.
Xu Miaojin's heart was beating much faster than she expected.
She had never done anything to steal a chicken, and even though there was a valid reason, that reason didn't ease her nerves.
She glanced at Mening, who nodded to her.
"You two go outside and clean the eaves, and the ladder is in the yard, and look for it yourself." Mei Ning instructed the two people of the Shang Sleeping Bureau.
After the two servants went out, Xu Miaojin walked quickly to the guqin, bent down, and looked carefully.
"Miaojin," Mei Ning whispered, "don't you play!" The palace maids and eunuchs outside would be terrible when they heard the sound and broke in! ”
Xu Miaojin didn't look back, just nodded, her eyes couldn't take her eyes off the waterfall, and she forgot about her nervousness.
The sunlight quietly attached to this magnificent qin, and the pure gold lacquer gray hidden at the bottom of the layer shone through the cinnabar.
The golden emblem and jade are elegant and elegant, and the stars and moons set off the seven strings.
The four big characters of "Waterfall Beads" are flowing smoothly, indicating the posture of this piano and the requirements for the player.
As Mei Ning said, a small horn was knocked on the gum of the qin.
Xu Miaojin felt worried. She was a lover of the piano, and the heartache of seeing such a unique violin damaged precedes all other purposes.
Xu Miaojin carefully flipped the piano to one side so that its bottom side was facing up.
"What are you doing?" Menin walked briskly over to her.
"Don't worry, I'm just going to take a look, this bottom is the essence of the piano." Xu Miaojin pointed to the dragon pond and phoenix swamp of the qin, "Without these two holes, then the sound of the qin will be dry and dull, and you may hear a duck cry instead of a beautiful music." ”
"Miaojin, you know a lot."
"Huh!" Xu Miaojin put her finger into the dragon pool and didn't touch anything. She put her finger into Fengnuma again, but also found nothing.
"What are you doing? What are you looking for? ”
"No, I'm just going to see if there's a lot of ash in there."
"Oh, you're so careful." Menin looked out the window, no one approached them, and no one looked into the room.
However, she felt that her rights had come to an end, and Xu Miaojin's adventure should end here.
"Okay, you have seen and seen, touched and touched, you go back first, it is best not to bump into people."
"yes, okay." Xu Miaojin turned the qin back to the front, and reluctantly left the guqin with both hands.
