Chapter 212: Warm Time (I)
The New Year is approaching. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Many businesses have closed their doors, and the guys have gone home on vacation, and the restaurants and clear buildings that have been silent for a long time due to smallpox have flourished again. The annual banquet of merchants thanking customers and backers, the social communication between officials, and the cultural meeting organized by literati are all inseparable from the hospitality of Qinglou women. For a while, the leaders of the Oiran on each floor had a large number of entertainments, and they could hardly stop from morning to night.
No matter how violent the plague is, there is a time when it will pass. The discoloring smallpox that once rampant in Jiangning has basically come to an end in terms of inside and outside Jiangning City. Although there will still be people sent to Huazhuang, and some dead bodies will be carried out, the total number is very small, almost negligible. As soon as this external pressure is gone, people become more and more emboldened.
Ma Xianglan, who has always shown herself as the head of the eldest sister in the Qing Building, naturally began to be busy at this time, making various entertainment arrangements and preparing banquets, and she was so busy that her feet were almost dusty. Just the reception banquet that the Xu family threw at her in order to thank her for helping in the Huazhuang incident was enough to make her exhausted.
This kind of banquet has a high standard, the quality of the guests is relatively good, and they are willing to pay without pulling the girl, so they are the most popular guests in the Qing Building. However, the requirements for such a banquet are also strict, and if you are not careful, there will be a big loophole, and you will not be able to eat in this industry in the future. She didn't dare to take it lightly, and every link had to be personally accepted. On the long corridor of the Youlan Pavilion, you can always see Ma Xianglan's slender and slender figure walking back and forth, either asking about the preparation of the meal or the preparation of the performance.
It was noon.
A round and jade woman walked beside Ma Xianglan and moved with her. This woman's appearance is not bad, she was also a prominent woman when she was young, but she was a little older, and she was in a hurry, and in winter, she actually saw sweat on her forehead. She kept wiping her handkerchief with her handkerchief, and her mouth kept being careful.
"Siniang, we were also godsisters who worshiped Jin Lan at the beginning, and now my sister is in trouble, you can't see death without saving it, right? You know Huang Gongzi's personality best, if he is annoyed, I don't want to be happy this year. He also just wants to watch Wu'er dance with a sword and listen to a pipa, just over an hour before and after, you can help and let Wu'er round this scene for me, I won't treat her badly......"
"I'm sorry, Sister Jin, my little sister can't help her, Wu'er is already good. You've been in this business for so long, you can't forget the rules, right? If you go out of the water, you will no longer enter the sea, and you still let people come out to socialize, is there such a rule? ”
A scale of gold smiled, "What goes out of the water into the sea, it's not all the same, it always comes out of the courtyard, is it Bingqing Yujie?" Besides, she doesn't have a good man, so it's nothing. You are her benefactor, as long as you say a word, she will not give you face. Left and right is a dance......"
Before the words fell, Ma Xianglan's body suddenly stopped, and she couldn't close her legs with a scale of gold, and almost stumbled. Her figure had just stood firm, but Ma Xianglan had already deceived her, she was slightly taller than a scale of gold, and she looked at the above, she was a little oppressive, and there was no smile on her face.
"You listen to me, Wu'er is good, whoever dares to beat her again, it is a woman from a good family! Whether Huang Gongzi wants to see the sword dance or her appearance without clothes, you and I know it in our hearts. Because she has no pockmarks on her face, many people think that they have suffered a loss and want to get her, which is not surprising. But those who eat in this industry should understand how much effort this girl has spent and how many grievances she has suffered to keep her innocence. finally went to sea, everyone should be happy for her, if anyone wants to pull her into the water, I will be the first to refuse! You'd better think about what her godfather Feng Siye is doing now. If you let the fourth master know that you have a plan against his righteous daughter, you are not afraid that someone will throw a stone in at night and smash your brain? I don't have so much time to waste with you, Huang Gongzi can't handle it without you, so I went to let Wang Xuexiao accompany her. Wu'er won't see him! ”
This delicate-looking woman showed a very amazing momentum at this time, and a weight of gold was so frightened by her that she didn't dare to speak anymore, so she couldn't help wiping her forehead with a handkerchief. It wasn't until Ma Xianglan's back disappeared that she spat and said:
"Something! The maid went from the good to the big family to be small, but she went to be a maid, which is the more she lived, the more she went back. Isn't Gangneung Shogong great? It's nothing more than crossing the river dragon, Huang Gongzi's godfather, is a garrison lieutenant, and a local snake, you wait...... You've got you covered! ”
Ma Xianglan ignored her, and after arranging the banquet, she called a woman and asked, "Did you send the thirty pots of plum blossoms I said?" ”
"Sent, sent. Godmother, you are really eccentric, the fifth sister is settled in the Xu family's courtyard, you send this today and send that tomorrow, Fan Gongzi is just saying that he wants plum blossoms, you have found so many good plum blossoms in pots for him with silver and favors, what is the picture? Is it because he healed your pot of orchids last time, and you are tempted? I want the old cow to eat the tender grass...... I remembered, that time you could accompany Fan Gongzi to look at the orchids all over the yard, that look, isn't it a good pair? ”
Before the words fell, the woman had already run away with a smile, and Ma Xianglan was chasing all over the yard with a skirt in one hand and a duster in the other, and laughter and laughter spread.
The same laughter also permeated the Xu family's courtyard. After more than half a month of treatment, Zhang Shunqing, whose condition has improved greatly, looked at the plum blossoms in the hospital, felt its strong vitality, and her mood became comfortable.
Fan Jin Qishi systematized the flower word, which refers to both the beauty flower that can walk and speak, and the normal flower and plant. It is reflected that the ability to grow flowers is stronger than others, and the skill of flower arrangement is also high. He can grow some plants that others can't grow alive, and flowers and plants that are sick to death can be restored to vitality after he cares. If there was a gardener in this era, he would be the most brilliant one.
First cured Ma Xianglan's favorite pot of orchids in the Youlan Pavilion, and then chose plum blossoms to decorate the garden. With the blessing of the system, the flower arrangement skills make the whole room full of vitality. The people who live in the room can also be infected by this energy, and their mood and spirit will change accordingly.
Flowers are cute, but the hard work contained in them makes Zhang Shunqing even more drunk. On the desk, there is a poem written by Fan Jin to her: The rising sun breaks the dawn and haze, and the makeup of the remote knows the steps down. That can turn into a tung flower phoenix, an episode of beautiful white jade hairpin.
It is related to them at this step, although they have never crossed the thunder pool, but they will not hide like in the past, and those words that make their daughter's family blush and heartbeat can be written and become a testimony of the feelings of the two. The two people, who are obviously close at hand and can meet every day, have to use poetry and writing to enhance their relationship every day, which is also in line with the girl's pursuit of romance.
In comparison, a courteous gentleman like Liu Kanzhi may be a more qualified husband after marriage, but at this stage, in terms of the ability to create romantic romance, he is indeed inferior to an expert in demolishing walls like Fan Jin.
In addition to writing poems, there are also paintings. Several scrolls of paintings are placed on the desk, and the woman in it is either wearing a fox fur or a big hat, outlining the stunning face and the peerless bearing of elegance to the fullest. Zhang Shunqing was reluctant to put it down from the first time she picked it up, and whenever she was free, she had to take a few looks. While looking at the painting, I couldn't help but smile, and I couldn't help but start painting Fan Jin's appearance.
Xue Sufang came in from the outside with a vermilion lacquer tray, and put a food box on it, and when she removed the lid of the box, you could see rice cakes of different colors and shapes. The colors are bright and the shapes are lifelike, making people have an appetite at a glance, this is a dim sum made by Fan Jin, and it is not the same every day. Thanks to Zhang Shunqing's blessing, Xue Sufang also had the opportunity to taste these foods.
She and Zhang Shunqing are both from official eunuchs, although their families are not as good as the Zhang family, but they are also people in the officialdom after all, and they always have knowledge of food, clothing, and knowledge. Youlan Pavilion is also the first popular hospital, and she is also very exquisite in eating and drinking, and she has tasted a lot in food. But in her opinion, Fan Jin's pastry is better than the first-class pastry shop in terms of shape and taste, and she really can't imagine where a scholar can get this good cooking skill.
Since the pockmarks on her face have been seen through the joints, there is no need to put it down. It was originally a first-class beauty in the Qing Building in Jiangning, and as soon as those fake pockmarks were gone, they were even more first-class. Although it is inferior to Zhang Shunqing, his own appearance is not bad.
put down the food box and beckoned Zhang Shunqing to eat, and said: "Miss, come and eat, this snack is delicious today, and you can't go wrong." ”
Zhang Shunqing took her hand and sat down, "Let's eat together, don't call me Miss, how many times have you said it, just call me Miss or Sister." Actually, I should have called your sister, you are two years older than me, but this is not in order, it is awkward to call you. ”
"That's, I don't dare to respond if you shout, right? After eating snacks, I'll give you a massage...... Fan Gongzi is ready, waiting for us to play cards together. ”
Zhang Shunqing nodded: "Sister Su Fang, thank you for your hard work." I can be good this time, thanks to your hard work, you are also the daughter of the official family, but when I am my maid, I am really wronged. I have already written a letter about Ling Zun, and when I enter Beijing to present my father, the government will come forward, and I will definitely be able to wash away his grievances. The matter of the lawsuit is over. As for the family property, it is not easy to send it, so I can only find a way to compensate for it. ”
"Miss...... Don't say that, I'm actually very happy with you. ”
Xue Sufang smiled, pointed to the pastry and said, "If it weren't for Miss Dip's light, where would I have eaten such delicious rice cakes, let alone get out of the sea of bitterness." Ever since I was sold into the Qing Building, I thought that my life would be ruined, my husband would no longer want me, and my family would be ruined. There are many sisters and sisters around me, but there is only one godmother who can really make friends. It's rare for the eldest lady to appreciate it here, she doesn't care about my background, she treats me as a friend, and I'm willing to make the eldest lady a friend. When I return to Beijing, I won't have a chance to see you, and my identity is not qualified to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
Zhang Shunqing smiled: "My sister is serious, if you want to enter the Prime Minister's Mansion, you are actually just referring to Gu Jian Shi." But just because we are friends, I have to think about you, and I can't let you be a slave...... Anyway, I won't let you suffer. By the way, I heard that Feng Lao hasn't been idle for the past few days, I don't know what happened to the cowpox?"
Xue Sufang nodded and said: "Yes, my father-in-law instructed Fan Gongzi a few martial arts, and also showed him the Yijin Sutra, Fan Gongzi's father-in-law's method of planting cowpox." Then the father-in-law went to the countryside to buy a few pox cows, and also pulled a few langzhong. Looking at the face of the stepfather, it seems that the cowpox is really good, and Fan Gongzi's side is also good at Yi Jin, and he also works with his father-in-law every day to practice kung fu. Really, there are many scholars who learn swords from their father-in-law, but none of them really learn. Could it be that Fan Gongzi was beaten by Liu Gongzi and was unwilling to learn his father-in-law's martial arts to find a scene? Then I might as well make a shot and give him a slingshot. ”
Zhang Shunqing looked at Xue Sufang with a smile and said, "You are good to Brother Fan, you actually dare to beat the son of the Lang family in the Criminal Department for him?" ”
"I didn't ...... There is no such thing. Xue Sufang blushed, slightly restrained. Although she walked around Qinglou and other places, she was still not the kind of woman who could tell meat jokes better than men, and she was a little shy and a little scared at this time. After all, Zhang Shunqing and Fan Jin have made their relationship clear, and it is indeed a bit taboo to say this by themselves. Hurriedly explained:
"That's what I said, I wouldn't dare to hit me if I was really asked. I just think that Fan Gongzi's learning of the Yijin Sutra is not for fun, but for some plan. ”
Zhang Shunqing's face turned red, and she handed a piece of cake to her and said, "He, he has a bad stomach, don't ask." Eat quickly, you will be tired of doing work for a while, and you will have to eat more to have strength. When I'm well, I won't do you any wrong. Come, eat something good, let's start massage. ”
Xue Sufang's massage is a kind of massage, which stimulates blood circulation and accelerates metabolism, which belongs to the category of qigong guidance. It is necessary for both the giver and receiver to take off their coats and only wear small clothes, and even in the process of operation, it is indispensable to touch some sensitive parts, which makes people feel distracted and distracted.
There is a difference between men and women, this kind of kung fu can naturally only be done by the same sex, and when Xue Sufang learned art, there was no one to guide him, just practicing against dummies. In the entire Jiangning City, she is the only woman who has this ability, and because of this, she has no skills and cannot show it to Miss Xu Liu.
Although he has been massaged many times, Zhang Shunqing is still shy every time he massages. When he took off his coat and left only his underwear, the son-in-law, who had always been Zhizhu holding it calmly, was already as red as blood, her beautiful eyes were closed, and she was lying motionless at the mercy of Xue Sufang.
Looking at the perfect body, Xue Sufang, who was also a woman, was ashamed of herself, but she also understood the purpose of Fan Jin's study of the Yijin Sutra in her heart.
It turned out that he wanted to take his place and do massage for the eldest lady? Sure enough, it's a bad heart. Xue Sufang's mind was imagining the scene of Fan Jin giving Zhang Shunqing a massage, and the recipient didn't know how long it would take for him to become himself. At the thought of that situation, her cheeks were already red, her heart was pounding, and her heart did not know where to go.
