Chapter 425: Vinegar
Approaching the Lantern Festival, Xu Zhilan's mood is getting more and more excited, and she is very much looking forward to this day.
In the modern world, she is too busy with work to go to these traditional festivals, and now that she has the opportunity to travel back in time to become an ancient person, she must enjoy the joy of frolicking and playing in the festival.
The whole of Xufu is preparing for the Lantern Festival, in front of the gate, between the corridors, and the courtyards are hung with lanterns, up to the ladies and ladies, down to the maids and servants, all of them are busy going in and out.
The ladies and ladies were busy selecting cloth and jewelry, and cutting new clothes; The maids and servants were busy sprinkling and cleaning, preparing food, wine, and snacks for the festival.
Xu Zhilan also asked the tailor to cut two sets of new clothes, one is a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom baishui skirt, and the other is a long skirt with water fu's color painted hibiscus dragging the tail and pulling the waist and shaking the sleeves.
Xiaomei couldn't help but praise when she saw it: "Miss doesn't like to dress up on weekdays, and she has failed this good skin in vain." Wearing these two sets of new clothes, a little dressing up, just like a porcelain doll carved in pink and jade, just like the jade girl beside Guanyin Bodhisattva! ”
Xu Zhilan listened to it, and his heart was as sweet as eating honey, but his mouth was disgusted: "It seems that I treat you too well." I'm used to you getting bigger and smaller, and now you dare to make fun of me! ”
Xiaomei stuck out her tongue and said, "Miss is really good-looking!" If it were someone else, Xiaomei would not be able to boast about it! ”
In the past few days, Xu Zhilan has been learning sword casting with Qin Lao as usual in the afternoon, and after dinner, he often goes to Aunt Nanke's room to sit and chat.
Xu Zhilan and Nan Ke discussed, seeing that the Lantern Festival is approaching, the maids and servants in the house have worked hard all year round, and they should also be allowed to add some new clothes and be filled with some joy.
When the two of them made up their minds, they distributed cloth to all the slaves in the house, and the people were all smiling, and the whole house was happy.
Only Nangong Qin's mother and daughter are out of place, scolding in the house, hating Xu Zhilan and Nan Ke to buy people's hearts, and taking the property of Xufu to save popularity for themselves, it is really shameless to be so embarrassed.
In addition to Xu Zhilan's sword heart, during this period, the Queen Mother also summoned her several times. It's just that every time she goes to He'an Palace, Song Zilin accompanies the Queen Mother.
Song Zilin was very exclusive to her, as if she was afraid that she would take away the queen mother's favor, and she was extra vigilant against her every time.
Since the last time Xu Zhilan got the promise of Yu Huiyi in front of the door of He'an Palace, the knot in his heart has disappeared, and he misses him even more than before, looking forward to seeing him again.
Therefore, every time she entered the palace, she was excited, but Yu Huiyi didn't know what she was busy with, and she didn't appear once, Xu Zhilan couldn't help but be disappointed and returned lonely.
On this day, Xu Zhilan was summoned by the Queen Mother and went to He'an Palace. As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw the Queen Mother sitting on the couch, and Song Zilin sitting on the lower left chair of the Queen Mother, and the two were talking.
After Xu Zhilan saluted the Queen Mother, he sat aside.
Song Zilin didn't raise her eyes, as if she hadn't seen Xu Zhilan, Ting Jiu chatted with the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother! A few days ago, Zilin newly cut this scattered flower mist green grass pleated skirt, which is the texture of smoke and soft yarn, and it is very comfortable to wear on the body. ”
The Queen Mother nodded and smiled, "You really look good in this outfit!" ”
"This soft smoky satin is extremely rare! Zilin used this soft smoke cloth to cut a set of dark brown long brocade clothes for the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother, do you like it? ”
As he spoke, he instructed the maidservants around him to present the brocade clothes to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother was overjoyed when she saw it, "Zilin has a heart, the fabric of this dress is wonderful, and the style of the mourner also likes it!" ”
"Queen Mother, if you like it, it's fine! Zilin also brought you chalcedony incense this time, which is made by the most prestigious incense pavilion in the south of the Yangtze River, Liuxiang Pavilion. This incense has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, relieving fatigue, the fragrance is elegant and quiet, and it smells good! Zilin specially ordered someone to buy it from Liuxiang Pavilion with a lot of money! Zilin had a lot of thoughts, and asked the Queen Mother to accept it! ”
"What's wrong with you, kid? It's also to send clothes and incense, and I used to come and go, but I don't see such politeness! Coming to the mourning family, isn't it just like your own home! Do you need to bring any gifts? ”
Song Zilin listened and replied obediently: "Queen Mother! It's about to be a holiday! These rights should be a gift from Zilin to you! In the past, Zilin was young and vigorous, and she didn't know how to be polite! Now is the time to learn these etiquettes for dealing with the world and socializing! ”
The Queen Mother was very pleased when she heard this, and praised Song Zilin with approval.
Song Zilin couldn't hide the smug look in the corners of her eyebrows and eyes, and glanced at Xu Zhilan disdainfully, hum, Xu Zhilan! Don't think that only you will please the Queen Mother, if I want to do these things, it will be easy. If you want to win over the Queen Mother, there is no way!
Xu Zhilan penetrated Song Zilin's mind and felt that it was boring. He only sat down in the hall slightly, then got up to say goodbye to the Queen Mother and went out of the He'an Palace.
When he walked to the Baoyue Hall last time, Xu Zhilan saw Yu Huiyi from a distance, dressed in black, standing under the corridor, and when he saw a woman who hired Tingting standing next to him, Xu Zhilan paused.
The woman was upright and young, with a graceful posture, wearing a light blue emerald water thin smoke veil, her shoulders were cut into her waist, and a hollow golden hairpin was inserted obliquely in her head, dressed luxuriously, it was obvious that she was not an ordinary palace maid.
Although it was too far away to see the specific appearance of the woman, judging from this slender figure, there was no doubt that she must be a beautiful aristocratic woman.
At this moment, the woman was looking up at Yu Huiyi, not knowing what to say to him.
Xu Zhilan couldn't see the expressions of the two clearly, but she felt that the man and the girl who stood under the porch were very compatible, and the posture and demeanor were like a pair of beautiful people.
Finding that he was being jealous at the moment, Xu Zhilan couldn't help but laugh at himself in his heart, "Xu Zhilan, Xu Zhilan!" You're too petty! But just talking, what's so sour! ”
When he was losing his mind, he was knocked on the door of his head with a "bang", Xu Zhilan was in pain, held his head with both hands and sighed, and scolded: "Which bastard!" Dare to knock my aunt on my head! ”
When he looked up, he was actually the crown prince Yuyisheng standing in front of him, and he was looking at himself at the moment, with a malicious smile on his face.
