Text Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Contradiction Between Chun'an and Guan Feng
"The soldiers are divided into three ways" Guan Feng led people to sort out the weeds in the imperial garden, and the withered flowers should be replaced, and now the dead branches and leaves on the trees are left.
"Guan Feng, didn't you come over on behalf of the bamboo ladder when you came out just now?" Liu Jie looked around and didn't see it, Guan Feng patted his head with his palm and said with a look of sudden realization: "Oops, forget about this." Guan Feng said to a few people: "A few of you rest first, I will remember that Chun'an is their place, and the Imperial Garden is close to Xianfu Palace, and I will go back when I go." ”
"Nacheng, a few of us are waiting here for you to go and come back quickly." Liu Jie said, Guan Feng turned his head and walked briskly towards Xianfu Palace, and his hand unconsciously reached into his arms to see if the bag was still there, for this trip Guan Feng took great pains to deliberately forget the bamboo ladder to be used for work in the Siyuan Bureau, so that there was an excuse to go to Xianfu Palace, thinking that he was going to see Xiao Lotus, Guan Feng was very excited and hummed a little song all the way.
"Zhiyao is really hard work, tired work, let me do it, why don't you call it Chun'er, the most hateful thing is that the concubine is too merciful, and it is still bitter for us slaves and maids." Xiaohe struggled to carry the charcoal he received from the Salary Division, and his other hand patted his waist from time to time.
"I'm so tired that I can't catch my breath." Xiaohe put the charcoal in his hand on the ground and stood in place panting, "Isn't that Miss He, why is she here?" Guan Feng looked at the palace maid with her eyes turned away from him with some confusion, "Miss He? Guan Feng shouted uncertainly.
"Who's calling there?" Xiaohe turned around, and when he heard Xiaohe's voice, Guan Feng ran up happily, "Guan Feng, you came here to find me?" Guan Feng nodded and said, "Last time, you said you wanted the bright petals of the red plum blossoms, and I found them for you." ”
"Really?" Xiao He was overjoyed and took Guan Feng's hand, and then realized that he was a little rude, and quickly let go again, Guan Feng looked at Xiao He with affection, but Xiao He lowered his head with a red face.
Xiaohe lowered his head and whispered, "Don't you have something for me?" "There's something for you." Guan Feng took out the cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Xiaohe.
Taking the bag from Guan Feng's hand, Xiaohe slowly opened the bag, approached it with his nose, took a deep breath, and said happily: "It's so fragrant." Xiaohe was immersed in the fragrance of red plum flowers, and unconsciously the charm of the woman was fully revealed.
Guan Feng looked at the infatuated Xiaohe, who also became an idiot.
After a distraction, Xiaohe said to Guan Feng: "Thank you." Guan Feng said stupidly: "As long as you like it." "Lang has affection and concubine righteousness" The two looked at each other silently, wanting to integrate each other into their eyes.
After a long time, Xiaohe was reluctant to put aside Guan Feng's eyes and said, "I have to go." Guan Feng said: "It just so happens that I also want to go to Xianfu Palace, and I'll help you get this." Guan Feng carried a basket of charcoal on the ground in his hand.
Xiaohe took the cloth bag in his hand, held his hands on his chest, and walked forward, Guan Feng followed behind with a basket, full of happy smiles.
"You're back, little lotus girl" The red-faced Xiaohe didn't answer, Chun'an took the charcoal from Guan Feng's hand and walked into the Xianfu Palace quickly, seeing Guan Feng following behind, Chun'an asked curiously: "Guan Feng, why did you run to the Xianfu Palace when you weren't in the Imperial Garden." ”
"I'm almost done over there, lend me your ladder first." Guan Feng didn't wait for Chun'an to agree to step forward and carry the ladder to leave, Chun'an hurriedly stopped in front of Guan Feng and said, "What did you take away and what we used it for." Guan Feng looked at Qingyu who was mopping the floor, then looked at Chun'an and said: "You don't know what time to use the ladder yet, hurry up and get out of the way for me, don't delay my time." ”
Chun'an said angrily: "I don't need it, that's my business, if you want to use it, go back to the 'yamen' and get it yourself." Guan Feng put down the ladder and rolled up his sleeves to make a beating gesture, so frightened that Chun'an hurriedly hid behind Zhuanghu and showed his head and said, "Guan Feng, what do you want, don't mess around." Zhuanghu also said weakly: "What do you want?" ”
Guan Feng said with a displeased face: "Chun'an, you are toasting and not eating, but you want to drink punishment wine." "Do you want to be scolded by the rod when you make a noise in Xianfu Palace?" Yao, who was dozing off on the threshold, was woken up by the sound of several people arguing and came over angrily.
Chun'an stood up from behind Zhuanghu and said, "Auntie, this person wants to beat people by force. Guan Feng smiled and said: "Why am I going to beat someone, my aunt and I came to borrow something from the same 'yamen' as him, and he did everything possible to make things difficult and hurt people." ”
Chun An said sharply in a very loud voice: "You are spewing blood, it is clear that you want to fight, you see what this posture is not to hurt people, what are you doing?" As he spoke, he pointed to Guan Feng's hands as he rolled up his sleeves.
"What's wrong?" Qingyu heard Chun'an's voice change and walked over with some worry, Zhuanghu said: "Guan Feng, he borrowed something and wanted to beat someone." Qingyu asked Guan Feng: "Why can't you say it well if you want to borrow something?" ”
Guan Feng glanced at Qingyu and said disdainfully: "Aren't you just a few days old and have no qualifications to talk to me like this." Zhiyao couldn't listen to it and said to Guan Feng: "You slave and maid are so stubborn that you have a foul mouth, I must tell Qian Zhangyin to discipline him well." Qingyu said lightly: "I am not qualified, but I can decide whether to lend you something, or if you leave yourself now and go to the Siyuan Bureau to get it." ”
Guan Feng thought that it would be really too late to go to the Siyuan Bureau after he had already delayed the hour, so he changed his tone and said to Qingyu: "This person is too careful to borrow things from the same 'yamen' as a thief. "Oh, use a ladder to take it." Qingyu said lightly.
Seeing that Qingyu agreed that Guan Feng left Xianfu Palace without looking back, Qingyu helped Chun'an to the side and sat on the ground. Qingyu said: "Why should you be serious with this kind of person. Chun'an said: "I just can't get used to his arrogant and domineering evil deeds." Then Chun'an asked, "Why did you let him take the ladder away?" ”
Qingyu said: "In this way, we shouldn't need a ladder yet." Qingyu pointed to the withered branches and leaves in the flower bed. Chun'an muttered, "It's a little slow, it seems that I can't eat tonight." "Ah, no food tonight?" Zhuanghu stood behind him and shouted loudly.
"Who said that if you don't have anything to eat, doing things in Xianfu Palace can still make you hungry." Zhiyao said, "The slave and maid said, how can a good person be hungry if he has a good reward, and the slave and maid went to work." Zhuanghu said.
The three of them couldn't help laughing, Qingyu looked ahead and smiled, in Zhiyao's opinion, he was smiling at himself, Zhiyao's eyes also greeted and smiled at Qingyu, Chun'an's eyes were full of Yao's lovely smile at this time, and Chun'an also laughed.
After the three of them laughed inexplicably, Qingyu said: "Chun'an, you go and cut the dead leaves on these flowers first, and I'll come over to help you as soon as I finish doing something over there." Chun'an said: "After this, you take your time." The two got up and went their separate ways.
At nightfall, Zhiyao took the three of Qingyu to the courtyard of the side hall of Xianfu Palace, and the three of them sat around the stone table. Zhiyao said: "You will sit down first, and I will come when I go." ”
Zhuanghu said: "I can finally rest, I am almost exhausted." Chun'an asked with concern: "Qingyu, are you okay?" Qingyu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'm just a little hungry." ”
Zhuanghu said: "Auntie let the three of us sit here stupidly and don't know what to do? Chun'an said: "It's not good to let you sit, do you still want to work?" Zhuanghu said: "I'm too hungry to calm down." ”
"Eat, eat." Zhiyao was holding a big food box in his hand, and the three of Qingyu hurriedly got up to make up the vacant seats. A plate of stir-fried meat, a plate of stir-fried tofu, a plate of pickles, and a plate of stir-fried cabbage.
Then he took out a big bowl of rice and a plate of steamed buns from the food box on the lower floor, "It's so fragrant." Zhuang Hu stepped forward with his nose and sniffed.
Zhiyao said: "If you are hungry, eat quickly." Zhuanghu said: "Then I'm not welcome." Saying that, he grabbed a steamed bun with each hand, and bit off half of it in one bite, several people laughed when they looked at the appearance of the strong tiger, and Chun'an also took a steamed bun in his hand and ate it slowly.
Qingyu said: "Steamed buns are still a little unaccustomed to eating, I still eat some rice." Zhiyao hurriedly took out the bowl and chopsticks from the food box.
"I'll do it." Qingyu said that he took the bowl and wanted to serve his own rice, Zhiyao took the bowl and said, "It's better for me to come and eat with peace of mind." I made a bowl of rice and put it in front of Qingyu, and wiped the chopsticks with my own silk scarf before handing it to Qingyu.
Zhuanghu said at this time: "Auntie is really eccentric, Chun'an and I don't have a bowl of begging chopsticks, so you only care about Qingyu." Chun An scolded with a smile: "Two steamed buns can't stop your mouth, it seems that you have to give you another one to stop your mouth." As he spoke, another box of steamed buns was stuffed into Zhuanghu's hand.
Zhiyao said embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry to forget it." Quickly took out two pairs of chopsticks from the food box and put them in front of Zhuanghu and Chun'an.
"Auntie, why don't you eat it?" Chun'an asked, Zhiyao secretly glanced at Qingyu who was eating, and said, "I'm not hungry, you can eat." ”
At this time, Qingyu said: "We are here to eat, you are embarrassed to watch on the side, let's eat with everyone when we come." Zhiyao said: "Nacheng, I'll eat a little." He took out another pair of chopsticks from the food box.
Zhiyao picked up the bowl and chopsticks and sat between Qingyu and Chun'an, and Zhiyao said, "You are all tired and eat more." In order to prevent Zhuanghu from saying "gossip" again, Yao first sandwiched some cabbage to Chun'an beside him, which made Chun'an feel moved for a while, and then sandwiched a piece of tofu for Zhuanghu, Zhuanghu only cared about eating but didn't feel anything.
It wasn't until the end that Qingyu sandwiched the meat, and Qingyu took the dish from Yaojia and said, "You also hurry up and eat don't patronize us, the dishes are cold." Zhiyao said "um" before he ate some dishes, and the steamed buns and rice on the table had not been touched from beginning to end.
"'We're full of wine and food', and we'll have to go back and rest." Zhuang Hu couldn't stop saying "tears" when he spoke, obviously a little sleepy.
Chun'an said to Zhiyao: "It's really troublesome aunt today, I'll go back later." "Well, I'll go back and rest early." Zhiyao always looked at Qingyu involuntarily when he spoke.
"By the way, Qingyu, don't forget that you will come back tomorrow." Zhiyao said, Qingyu said: "It will come, you can rest assured." ”
Zhi Yao looked at Qing Yu silently, but Qing Yu thought that Yao couldn't believe him. Qingyu said: "Can't believe me? Okay, let's hook up. Qingyu stretched out the little thumb of his right hand, and Yao Mu stood in place without making a sound.
Qingyu hurried back to the Siyuan Bureau, and he didn't care whether Yao agreed or not, and reached out to hold Zhiyao's right hand, but the moment Qingyu's hand touched Zhiyao's hand, Zhiyao trembled, completely lost consciousness, and let Qingyu hold his hand.
Qingyu leaned up with his little finger to hook Zhiyao's hand and said, "This is my promise to you." Saying that, he and Chun'an and Zhuanghu hurried to the Siyuan Bureau.
Rong Zhiyao stood in place alone, and Qingyu's words kept ringing in his mind: "This is my promise to you." ”
