CHAPTER XIX
Meng Le clapped his hands and said, "Young Master Lian, this is a knowledge, I have a lot of experience to teach you, this person can't be petted, and he can't get used to it." He colded you for ten days and half a month, and you also colded him for ten days and half a month, so that he could also experience your feelings, and ................"
I hurriedly pulled her out and asked with a smile, "Where did you get so much experience to teach, is it reliable!" ”
Meng Le said, "I grew up in the army, and there are not 90,000 but 89,000 who are married in the army, even if one person only says one sentence, I also praise the experience of a few jars, all of which are actually fought by brothers with one gun and one sword, you say it is reliable or not!" ”
I hurriedly stopped her and changed the subject, "What did you say about something unspeakable?" Let's see if we can help you. ”
Meng Le knocked on the fan, hesitated, and Ah Huan said, "If there is something difficult, Miss Meng doesn't have to say it." Zhen Zhen has always been a child's heart, whatever you want is what you want, you don't have to take it seriously. ”
"No, no, no! There's nothing difficult about it, it's just ...... It's just that it's a bit complicated, and I haven't figured out what to say yet. That's the case, I, Meng, followed my father to stay at the Shanhaiguan fortress all the year round, rarely returned to Beijing, and had no deep friendship with the royal nobles in Beijing. ”
"It's just the same, my grandfather fought on the battlefield all his life, and when he was old, he left behind some old troubles, and the pain was unbearable when he attacked, and his life was at stake. The four princes in the palace once sent someone to send a purple jade ginseng to his grandfather, which was very helpful to his old troubles. My grandfather always wanted to thank him, but unfortunately he never looked for the opportunity, and after my grandfather, my father and I went to Shanhaiguan, and returned to Kyoto every year in a hurry, and there was no time. And there is no legitimate reason to go to the mansion to thank you, if you go to the mansion rashly, and are caught by those civil officials and traitors, the saint will lose his head if he is angry. ”
Meng Le sighed, "My grandmother and I have always been obsessed with this favor, and we always want to find a chance to pay it back. Recently, I heard the little ones in the house say that the front of the house of the four princes was lively, as if it was going to be a birthday, I left a heart to send someone to inquire, but I didn't expect it to be such a thing. So if you want to prepare a decent gift to send someone to send it, people can't be there, but this gift is indispensable, after all, my grandfather got such a big favor from people back then, and I have to pay it back! ”
Ah Huan said with a smile, "According to Miss Meng's family background, it can be customized from the palace or the private workshop, but whether it is the palace or the private workshop, there is a record for every entry and exit, and you are worried that you will be caught by the official, so you give up the idea." I accidentally saw that my jade crown was exquisite, so I wanted to transfer it to the four princes as a birthday gift. ”
Meng Le nodded and said, "Young Master Lian is really smart, what he said is not wrong at all!" ”
Ah Huan smiled and said, "Miss Meng don't need to worry, I have a ready-made craftsman to introduce to you, everything that comes from her hands must be the essence of fine products, even the treasures in the palace are not as good as her." ”
Meng Lexi said, "Who?" ”
Ah Huan slowly raised his eyes to look at me, smiled indifferently at me, and was shocked that I swallowed the little peach crisp that had just been put in my mouth.
An ominous premonition poured out from the bottom of my heart, and I saw Ah Huan slam his forehead at me and said, "I am unique." ”
Meng Le exclaimed, "Zhen Zhen! But I heard my aunt say that Zhen Zhen is not a teacher yet! She can't build something to give away. ”
Ah Huan said with a smile, "Being a teacher is just a name, Zhen Zhen is better than the one who has been a teacher for two or three years, do you want this name to be important." Besides, you are Jinlan sisters, if you send some small things between sisters, what is the matter, you don't have to hang it on the books of Yuxiu Pavilion, and you won't be targeted by the officials. ”
Meng Le was overjoyed, hugged my arm and said coquettishly, "Okay, you should respond!" It's not a big deal for you, and with the movement of your fingers, half a day will be done. Zhenzhen, just follow me! ”
Meng Le hugged my arms so tightly that the more I struggled, the more I couldn't break free, and the big eyes of a thief kept blinking like a fluttering moth.
Seeing that my arm was getting numb and numb, and I couldn't use the last bit of strength, I gave up the struggle and explained to her, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I rarely do a man's hair crown, and you are a gift to the royal children, I'm afraid that I won't do it well, first, to delay your affairs, and secondly, to damage the reputation of Yuxiu Pavilion." Why don't you go to my father privately, explain the reason to him, and ask him to build it for you personally, my father has worked for the royal family all his life, and the jade crown and silver hairpin that came out of his hand can circle around Kyoto City several times. ”
Meng Le still held my arm and didn't let go, and said with a blank eye, "I've thought about it too, but my uncle hasn't been in the palace recently!" If you ask your uncle for help, you have to go to the palace, and if your uncle knows that I am giving the prince a birthday gift, it will not be recorded in the account book! Zhenzhen, you will answer me! ”
If it is given to Meng Le or ordinary people, but she is going to make a birthday gift to the prince, and her father has repeatedly told her that everything that is royal should be cautious, and there should be no sloppiness. I'm a person who hasn't left the school, where did I take the royal order!
And it was Ah Huan who took the initiative to bring this up to Meng Le, and I was glad that he valued me so much, and I was distressed that he wanted to value me like this. After all, this involved the royal family, and my father let it go, so he naturally didn't dare to respond rashly for a while.
Meng Le is also a character who doesn't look back until he reaches the south wall, I was so worn by her that I couldn't do it, thinking that it was the first time I talked to me in so many years, so I had to answer her.
"It's up to you, but I have to talk about the front, if I can't get my hands on the things I made, you don't want to send them out, just change something else to add, don't refuse me if you can't pull your face, you understand!"
Meng Le nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, "I understand, I understand!" Everything is up to you! ”
We sat down and talked for a while, Meng Le saw that the time was not too early and was about to resign, I left with her, when I passed by the soft incense pavilion, the group of warblers and Yanyan threw flattery at the handsome and dashing Meng Le, and threw handkerchiefs. If I hadn't pulled it tightly, Meng Le, who was indefinite, would have been coaxed in.
The two of us walked out of the alley one after the other, and as soon as we got out of the alley, I saw Meng Le stunned in place, as if petrified, I just felt funny, so many stunning colors didn't make her so gaffe, what did she see at this time.
I followed her gaze, and there was also petrified there, and directly opposite the alley was the gate of Mingxiangzhai, and there were two graceful women standing at the door, one with willow eyebrows and a thin waist, and the phoenix eyes were slightly frightened, and the other was pregnant with six armors, and her beautiful eyes were wide open.
We stood face to face like this, one side as steady as Mount Tai, the other at a loss, neither of us thought that we could collide with each other in this place.
I saw that the woman with willow eyebrows and thin waist was the first to react, chuckled, and whispered a few words to the black-faced woman, the black-faced woman nodded, and the two got into the carriage one after the other, and went back.
The two personal maids beside them did not leave with them, but walked to our side, first saluted Meng Le and smiled, "Miss Meng, my eldest lady always likes to mess around, I didn't expect to bring you to this place, the slave apologizes to you for the lady, this place is not a place for the ladies to play, let's go back to the house to rest!" ”
Meng Le clapped his hands and said, "Ah! I suddenly remembered that there was an urgent matter at home, so I took the first step and said hello to my uncle and aunt for me! Farewell! ”
After speaking, I turned around and wanted to leave, I hurriedly took Meng Le's hand and begged in a low voice, "You can't escape from the battle, you won't be saved when you die!" With you, I still have a chance to survive, if you don't care, I'm really going to be finished! ”
Meng Le said in a low voice, "Don't worry, this tiger poison doesn't eat children!" It's not going to be a big deal! "As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled away and ran, leaving me alone in the wind.
This guy doesn't pay attention to righteousness, but he still has no bottom line, in the end, I was careless in making friends, careless in making friends!
The sky above Yefu was covered with dark clouds, and the silver dragons were shuttling in the sea of clouds, I looked up to the sky and sighed, looking at the appearance of my mother's mother, this time it was not as simple as just dropping a layer of skin.
The mother sat in the room, silent, neither showing signs of anger, nor wanting to ask for family law, just sat quietly, seeing that I was coming as if I hadn't seen it, raising her eyebrows and looking at the black clouds outside the window, more fascinated than watching excerpts on weekdays.
Cai Su stood beside her mother, and did not dare to speak, the silence in the room was terrible, if any maid was unwell at this time, coughing, it must be a few points louder than thunder.
Erniang came in with a bowl of decoction, and saw that the atmosphere in the room was extraordinary, so she put the decoction on the table next to her, and suddenly "Oops! With a sound, she successfully pulled her mother's eyes over, and Erniang smiled and said, "Today is a double day, and the shopkeeper of the branch is going to come to the house to reconcile the accounts. ”
The mother nodded expressionlessly, and the second mother bowed and retreated, and by the way, she took the girl in the house out with her, and deliberately glanced at me when she passed by me.
As soon as the maids left, the room became quieter, and I walked up to my mother and said, "Mother, I was wrong, you want to beat and scold, so stuffy and hurt your body." ”
My mother still didn't look at me, twisted my neck to look out the window, I carefully pulled her sleeve, and whispered "Mother's ..........."
"Mother, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have gone to that alley, I shouldn't have taken Meng Le with me, I shouldn't"
"That's not the point!"
My mother turned her eyes to look at me, and said slightly angrily, "You are wrong that you shouldn't take Meng Le to the place where you shouldn't go at this critical juncture, when is it now, the saint is seriously ill and bedridden, the princes are fighting openly and secretly, and the guards in the capital are getting stricter day by day." What kind of person is Meng Le! She is the daughter of General Meng, who holds military power and is very popular in Beijing. One person alley is also a place where dragons and snakes are mixed, you lead her in and out of one person alley, in case she is recognized and poisoned by gangsters, have you ever thought about the consequences? ”
I thought about it for a while and said, "Meng Le will beat that villain half of his body, and it is possible to kill someone." ”
The mother was stunned and reprimanded, "Meng Le is brave and aggressive, I can think that people will make her a stumbling block!" If you are not careful, it is the plan of others, and if it falls into the hands of the gangsters, it is equivalent to grabbing the talisman in the hands of General Meng. You know how powerful it is! ”
I suddenly realized and hurriedly said, "What my mother said is very true, my daughter has been taught." ”
"Teachable?"
The mother snorted coldly, "Don't think I don't know your fancy intestines, now that you are taught, you will pull others into the alley when you turn your head." How old a person is, just looking tall is not long-sighted, according to my opinion, quickly set your marriage, and when you get out of the cabinet, you know that it is not easy to be a woman, so you will accept your wild horse-like temperament. ”
I pulled her sleeve and shook it, "Mother, I really know it's wrong, don't be angry, now you are a golden body, if you are angry, you can't afford to be a daughter!" ”
"Don't think that you will escape the punishment with a fluttering sentence, from now on, you are still grounded, except for Master Fu and Hua Niang to teach the art in person, there are maids and women staring at you every day to practice. If you dare to sneak out, it's best not to let me know, once I know, you can wait to be punished for kneeling! ”
"Yes."
"You are not allowed to eat tonight, go to the ancestral hall and kneel first, and when your father comes back from the palace, I will tell you all the ridiculous things you have done, and see if he can uncover your skin."
"Mother.................
"Kneel down to the ancestral hall!"
"Yes.................."
...................................................................
I found that it was good to be confined for a long time, at least I learned to focus, to focus on piano practice, to focus on dancing, and to focus on three meals a day. It is rumored that a bad mood is the quickest way to lose weight, but I really proved that this rumor turned out to be a rumor, I was in a bad mood every day, but my belt was getting wider, according to the fox's words, I grew more and more hot as the weather grew.
I made no progress in the hair crown, I carefully drew a bunch of patterns, and set a table for the fox to pick and choose to close the eyes, the fox glanced at it, pouted and shook his head, but none of them looked at it.
The weather was rare and cool on this day, I suddenly had the idea of painting a portrait, it happened that the fox entered the piano pavilion to teach, I pulled him to give him a portrait, he leaned against the window with a disgusted face and posed in a very coquettish pose, he was already beautiful, and then such a swing is a stunner in the world, if I don't know his black and murderous nature, I must come forward to touch the little hand and tease it.
When the fox asked me why I didn't draw a crown, I explained to him, "You never wear a crown in your hair, and you only wear a half-worn gilt hairpin on occasion." I want to draw a neat and solemn you with your hair and crown, and I don't know how to start for a while, if I paint it myself, you don't like it, isn't it annoyed again, or ask it. What kind of hair crown do you like, tell me! ”
The fox leaned slowly to the side, "You can draw as you like, this palace wants to see." ”
I answered, and just about to put pen to paper, I felt that something was wrong in my heart, and turned to ask him, what to do if it really didn't suit him, the fox smiled coquettishly, and said lightly, "That..... He painted until he was satisfied. ”
“.....................”
Sure enough, the fox can't be touched, and if he does, he can't get rid of it.
I pondered for a long time, and finally put pen to paper on the portrait, and after finishing the painting, I breathed a long sigh of relief, turned the portrait to the fox and said, "I bother you old man to raise his eyes and take a look, but I still have your heart." ”
The fox was leaning on the side, peeling oranges slowly, and after a glance, he said, "This is a red jade?" ”
I put the pen aside, picked up the orange and broke it in half, took a bite of the sweet and sour orange flesh and said, "It's pigeon blood, you are not suitable to wear white jade, only red jade or peach blossom nephrite can match you." However, as far as I know, ruby and peach nephrite are only eligible to be worn by the royal family, and those who are not in the royal family are guilty of a felony. Therefore, I deliberately chose pigeon blood as the crown, although the pigeon blood is not as noble as the red jade, but in the end it is also rare. The blood of the pigeon is polished into a crown, which is carved with red camphor leaves and handsome birds. ”
The fox asked, "Why do you have to engrave these two on the crown alone?" ”
I smiled and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just that every time I see you, you're in the treetops, and the red camphor tree in the backyard of my Yefu is about to be laid out by you." Seeing that you like the red camphor tree so much, you chose the red camphor leaves on the crown. As for the handsome bird, it has colorful wings and a beautiful call, it is the best in the bird forest, and it is perfect to be your crown accessory. ”
After I explained, Baba leaned up to him and asked, "Well, this ruby crown is right for your eyes?" ”
The fox ate the orange slowly, nodded faintly in my expectant eyes, and said, "Reluctantly." ”
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then had the opportunity to ask him, "Fox, you have seen the world, can you tell me about the crown of a royal nobleman over the years?" ”
The fox nodded and said, "Yes! ”
I leaned aside, quickly peeled an orange and held it in front of him, and said earnestly, "You can talk about it, and let the little one have a long insight." ”
The fox said solemnly, "The crown worn by the saint today is good, the crown is engraved with the golden dragon playing with the pearl, the golden dragon is lifelike, the bead is the pigeon's egg size of the east pearl, it looks very top-notch, very noble." ”
When the fox saw that my eyes were getting worse and worse, he pretended to suddenly realize, "Oops! Forget, you can't make a crown in the mortal world privately, that is a felony of copying the nine clans. ”
"According to this palace, you don't have to stick to the hair crown made by others, no matter how good it is, it is made by people, and you are not bad at doing it yourself, compared to the palm treasure that has been in the store for decades, where is it inferior to them!"
I hesitated for a while, considering whether to tell him the reason, but as long as I opened my mouth, I would definitely say Ah Huan, last time the fox would throw his sleeves and leave because of Ah Huan.
