38, Taishan's mother
When Mrs. Lin heard that Lin Qingmei returned home to learn housekeeping, she was surprised: "Why did Mei'er remember to learn housekeeping?" β
Lin Qingmei wouldn't lie, and told her 1510: "The queen said that if Mei'er wants to marry Brother Ling, she must learn to be a housekeeper." Watermark Advertising Test Watermark Advertising Testing"
Mrs. Lin's heart sank: Let Mei'er learn to be a housekeeper, isn't this chasing ducks to the shelves? She was so naΓ―ve at this age, thinking that as long as the prince and Mei'er were in love, they could be together. But what? The crown prince is the prince, and he will reign over the world in the future, how can he not have an equally excellent mother of the country behind him?
Merl?? It's just going to drag you back, right? Although I don't want to admit it, Mei'er has such a heart, how can she not hold back?
She only didn't show it on her face, and touched Lin Qingmei's head lovingly: "If you want to learn, you can learn." β
Aunt Ming heard that Lin Qingmei was going to learn housekeeping, and she didn't feel embarrassed at all. She smiled: "You only need to be careful and patient in the accounting class, the seventh girl embroidery is good at learning, there is no shortage of these two things, presumably the housekeeper can also learn well." β
Just as the kitchen sent a list of vegetables, vegetables and meat, Aunt Ming took a new booklet and handed it to Lin Qingmei: "The seventh girl will copy these categories, and then compare the prices of last month." You can see whether the price of vegetables outside is rising or falling. β
Lin Qingmei asked how to classify it, so she took a pen and copied it carefully, quietly. After a long time, Aunt Ming leaned over to take a look, and saw that Lin Qingmei had copied it very squarely, and the vegetables and meat were classified separately. There is not a trace of error, which is better than ordinary people.
She carefully compared the list with the transcribed account book, and praised: "The Seventh Girl is extremely serious. She took the abacus and slowly tossed the abacus beads, taught Xiao Qingmei the addition formula, and said: "You must be careful in accounting, the daily purchase of seasonal vegetables and meat in the house is about 800 Wen." Nowadays, in recent years, the price of vegetables has skyrocketed, so it will rise to 10000 per day. After the calculation, seeing the total number of nine hundred and fifty-seven texts, she put down the account book and said, "That's right."
Xiao Qingmei silently recited the mantra in distress, what "five to four, one to nine into one", just reciting these is going to be dizzy, she blinked her innocent eyes: "Aunt Ming, this is so difficult!" Meier couldn't remember. β
Aunt Ming smiled: "Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, the seven girls carry it every day, and they will naturally remember it after a long time." I think it took me a long time to learn this! β
Xiao Qingmei heard that she could carry it slowly, so she immediately threw away the account book and touched her upright belly: "Aunt Ming, the baby has grown up!" β
"Yes, it's been almost five months, and I will be born in March of next year." She covered her mouth and smiled.
Xiao Qingmei felt amazing, Aunt Ming's belly was bulging and hard, and there was a baby in it. She asked, "Aunt Ming, how did the baby come about?" Was it sent by Taishan's mother? Why doesn't Mei'er have it in her stomach? Merle wants it too. β
Aunt Ming hurriedly covered her mouth, her face was flushed, and she forced herself to calm down: "The seventh girl can only give birth to a baby if she marries a woman, otherwise, the baby is born without a father, it's very pitiful, isn't it?" β
Xiao Qingmei's big eyes were watery, and she blinked at her, ignorant. Aunt Ming sorted out today's account books and let her go, Lin Qingmei went to Jing'an Hall and coquettishly said to Mrs. Lin: "Grandmother, Mei'er wants to go to Ziyun Palace." β
Mrs. Lin was resting on the chaise longue, and the two minks in Lin Qingmei's arms climbed on top of her and beat her shoulders with two small front paws, making the old lady laugh.
"What are you doing in the Purple Cloud Palace? It's so cold. β
Xiao Qingmei said matter-of-factly: "The baby in Aunt Ming's womb has grown up, so cute, Mei'er also wants one." Is it okay for grandmother to take Mei'er to ask Taishan's mother? β
Mrs. Lin lowered her face: "What do you want the baby to do?" The obedient girl is still young, and there is no hurry. "What kind of thing can you ask for if you ask for Taishan's mother? Monkey business!
At this time, Yuhong came: "Old lady, the Ji family handed over a wedding card." said that the eighth cousin of the young master married at the beginning of the new year, and let the seventh girl go to the wedding banquet! β
Xiao Qingmei tilted her head and asked, "Does Sister Fan have a baby?" Aunt Ming said that the baby must have a father, otherwise it will be very pitiful. "Sister Fan definitely doesn't want the baby to be pitiful, so she wants to marry Cousin Shen.
"Huh??" Yuhong was embarrassed and didn't know how to answer, Mrs. Lin took the post and responded casually: "Your sister Fan hasn't gone to ask Taishan's mother yet, where will there be a baby?" β
Yuhong on the side laughed: Coaxing the seventh girl, or the old lady has a set.
Xiao Qingmei wants to go to Ziyun Palace more and more.
The next day when she went back to school in the palace, Xiao Qingmei happily pulled Ji Shenxiu and asked, "Cousin Shen, does Sister Fan have a baby?" β
Two minks climbed on her shoulders and bowed their hands to Ji Shenxiu, as if congratulating. Ji Shenxiu was at a loss for a while: "Before getting married, how can there be a baby?" β
Xiao Qingmei was very disappointed and asked, "Didn't you go to worship Taishan's mother?" Cousin Shen, is Mei'er going with you? Meier also wants a baby. β
Ji Shenxiu: What did the prince do to her!
He righteously said: "No! How can Meier have a baby at such a young age? β
Lin Qingmei was very sad: why didn't everyone allow her to have a baby? Aunt Ming is, grandmother is, and even Cousin Shen too! Her eyes were misty. said sadly: "Cousin Shen is the worst, he refuses to take Mei'er to beg the baby, Mei'er don't want to be with you!" β
She hugged her two minks and skipped school in a grand manner.
In the East Palace, Zhao Ling was meeting with the ministers in the Mingde Palace. The Mingde Hall is the place where government affairs are handled in the East Palace, which is equivalent to the Taiji Hall of the Wei Palace. When the ministers discussed the expedition to the north after the year, they were suddenly silent, and their eyes glanced out of the palace gate.
Zhao Ling raised his head and saw that in the warm winter sun, Xiao Qingmei was half-hidden outside the door with two minks in her arms, her big eyes were watery, and I felt pity. Seeing him look up, Xiao Qingmei called aggrievedly: "Brother Ling." β
The prince, who has always been solemn and unsmiling in front of the ministers, after seeing Xiao Qingmei. showed a helpless and doting look: "Why did you skip school?" β
Xiao Qingmei held on to the door and said weakly, "Mei'er wants to go to Ziyun Palace." β
The prince got up and walked out, pulling Xiao Qingmei to the backyard. He was slender, his white gown glowing in the sun. The little green plum beside her was graceful, wearing a bright red cloak, holding two minks in her arms, revealing her hairy head.
The two are like a couple, adding life to the depressed courtyard in winter.
After a short time, the Chongjiao Hall arrived, and Zhao Ling was afraid that Xiao Qingmei would freeze to death, so he took her to the charcoal basin and asked her, "Why did Mei'er go to Ziyun Palace?" It's not a year, it's not a festival, and the view is very deserted. "Xiao Qingmei has always liked to be lively.
Xiao Qingmei puffed out her cheeks and complained: "Mei'er wants a baby, but grandmother and Cousin Shen don't take Mei'er to ask Taishan's mother." Brother Ling, will you take Mei'er there? β
When Zhao Ling heard this, he was stunned for a long time.
Little Qingmei wants a baby?
"Mei'er wants a baby, it's useless to beg Taishan's mother, without Brother Ling, Taishan's mother can't send a baby if she wants to." Zhao Ling coaxed, "Taishan's mother and Brother Ling have agreed, and when they become married, she will send the baby over." β
Xiao Qingmei was unrelenting: "No! Taishan's mother is so busy, she has to send a lot of babies every day. If Mei'er didn't go and invite her, she would have forgotten about it quickly. β
It's hard to coax! Zhao Ling pinched her tall nose and reluctantly ordered to drive.
The Purple Cloud Palace was outside the city, and it was already afternoon when the carriage arrived. Xiaoqingmei was hungry, so she went to worship Taishan's mother first, and there were words in her mouth: "Taishan's mother, Mei'er wants a baby, can you give one to Mei'er?" β
The old mother of Taishan, who was seated, looked down and said in surprise: "This little mountain ghost has not yet come out of the pavilion, how can he think of asking for an heir?" β
Xiao Qingmei raised her head, and saw that the old mother of Mount Tai on the seat was staring at herself solemnly, so she smiled and found a small old mother of Mount Tai painted clay puppet. She held it in her palm and said, "Mother Taishan, are you going home with Mei'er?" Mei'er gives you a lot of incense every day, as long as you give Mei'er a baby. β
Taishan's mother stepped down from her seat, nodded her forehead and quipped: "Xiao Nizi is dull, her husband is not yet, and she actually wants to ask for an heir." If you are really pregnant, won't you be laughed at? She turned into a wisp of green smoke and melted into the clay puppet in Xiao Qingmei's hand, Xiao Qingmei cherished it in the placket, and happily went to the backyard to find Zhao Ling.
The abbot of Ziyun Palace, Zhou Chengzong, has always been hospitable, and when he saw the prince visiting, he invited him to talk, and there was Master Huishen on the side. Although Master Hui Shen and Zhou Daochang have different Buddhist paths, they see each other like old friends, and each is called a confidant.
There is a cypress incense in the courtyard, and the green smoke goes straight up like a column, which is extremely high-quality. When Xiao Qingmei came to find her, Zhou Daochang was playing the qin, and Zhao Ling and Master Huishen listened intently. She crept forward, for fear of disturbing their Yaxing.
After a song, Xiao Qingmei said to Zhao Ling: "Brother Ling, Mei'er is hungry." β
When Daoist Zhou heard this, he instructed the little Taoist priest to send vegetarian food and invite the three of them to fast together. Xiao Qingmei's cheeks are bulging, and she keeps glancing at Master Hui Shen opposite, who is mellow and round, with fat earlobes on both ears, and her eyebrows and good intentions are very Buddha-like. Seeing that Xiao Qingmei always glanced at herself, Hui Shen smiled and said, "Does the donor have something to say to the poor monk?" β
Xiao Qingmei put down the bowl and said seriously: "Great monk, Mei'er seems to have seen you!" β
Zhao Ling explained on the side: "Mei'er once rushed to the market in Daxiangguo Temple. β
Hui Shen smiled. Nodding his head, he said: "The poor monk doesn't remember the donor very well, so the donor must have a very good memory." β
Xiao Qingmei shook her head: "No! I didn't see it when I was in the market, but in the sky! "This great monk is the great monk who drove the little pig on the day of the winter solstice! He drove all the piglets to the Daxiangguo Temple, and it took several days to release them!
Zhou Daochang quipped: "Buddhists believe in reincarnation the most, presumably the previous life Master and Miss Lin are both celestials." All three laughed. Diverted the topic.
After eating fasting, Xiao Qingmei took out the little clay puppet of Taishan's old mother from her arms and said: "Zhou Daochang, the old mother of Taishan in the temple will lend Mei'er back to give birth to a baby first!" β
Zhou Daochang saw that it was just a small clay puppet with a big palm, and he didn't care: there are often good men and women in the temple to send some small clay puppets, this clay puppet of Taishan's old mother. Most of them were sent by letter girls who asked for children. So with a wave of his hand, he gave her away generously.
However, Master Hui Shen was beside him, staring at the little clay puppet with unswerving eyes, and reminded: "This is Bixia Yuanjun." β
Zhou Daochang nodded: Yes, it's Bixia Yuanjun, the old mother of Taishan who is in charge of the heirs!
Seeing that Zhou Daochang couldn't comprehend, Master Hui Shen smiled heartily: "It will take some time for my old friend to get it back." β
After a while, Zhao Ling said goodbye to Xiao Qingmei, and stayed away, Zhou Daochang had nothing to do, and gossiped: "Does the mage know the girl just now?" It was the girl of the Lin family who was despised by the son of the Xie family in the Daxiangguo Temple some time ago, and heard that the prince had divorced from Miss Lin Si and planned to hire her as the crown princess. β
When Hui Shen heard this, he was a little uneasy: he always thought that the son of the Xie family was just greedy for some small colors, but he didn't expect to fall in love with such a glamorous beauty. This girl has the best appearance in the world, and I think the son of the Xie family will not give up easily. What if he had some more thoughts??
He was extremely worried in his heart, and after a calculation, he was suddenly shocked: "My life is at stake!" β
There was a charcoal basin in the carriage, and Xiao Qingmei was holding a small hand stove in her hand. There are two minks around their necks, and they are warm. She found out that Taishan's mother invited Zhao Ling to take credit: "Brother Ling, Taishan's mother and Mei'er will be able to give birth to a baby after they go home!" β
Zhao Ling was joking with her, so she half-truthed and half-falsely said: "Previously, Taishan's mother and Brother Ling made an appointment to marry and then send the baby here, why did they change their hexagram so quickly?" β
Xiao Qingmei looked at him with clear eyes, and then looked at the clay puppet in her hand. "No! Taishan's mother said that she had never seen Brother Ling go to ask for a son. β
"Well, she lied to you!" Zhao Ling didn't blush at all.
Taishan's mother: Boy, I have written down this hatred today, don't regret it!
After returning to the East Palace, Xiao Qingmei took out the clay puppet and put it on the case, and found a clean incense burner and fruit plate to worship it.
Zhao Ling stepped forward to take a look, she found her rouge incense powder, holding a fine pen in her hand, and was meticulously applying makeup to the clay puppet, the white fragrance powder in the powder, the green eyebrows, and the red lips and cheeks. Like the girl who went out to play, her makeup was exquisite.
Xiao Qingmei was very quiet when she got serious, her eyes were lowered, and her long eyelashes cast shadows under her eyes, like a folding fan. From time to time, soft mutters pop out of his mouth, such as "Okay", "It's beautiful", "Do you like it", as if the mud in your hand has life.
After Xiao Qingmei finished putting on makeup for the clay puppet, she went to find paint to color the clothes, and also found gold dust to paint the golden hairpin for the clay puppet. Zhao Ling stopped: "Taishan's mother is very old, she doesn't need to dress up so beautifully, Mei'er can just use ordinary paint." β
Mother Tarzan: Boy, you offended me twice in one day.
Fortunately, Lin Qingmei was very stubborn, and she still used gold dust to dress her up beautifully, put it on the desk and looked left and right, and was very satisfied with her work. She said: "Mother Taishan, Mei'er dressed you up so beautifully, you have to send the baby to Mei'er as soon as possible!" β
