Chapter VIII

The Dancing Pavilion is the favorite place for the ladies in the imperial capital to gather and enjoy the dance, and the owner behind this shop used to be the dancing maid in the palace, known as the Flower Lady.

I heard that she had danced in front of His Majesty, and was deeply favored by His Majesty's Empress, three years ago in the palace, she got grace, and took her savings for many years to open a dance pavilion outside the palace, and the pavilion received some disciples with good qualifications.

People heard that the owner of this pavilion is out of the palace, the day before the opening, there are a lot of small maids to set the scene, she was pushed, on the day of the opening she set an iron rule at the door, welcome female guests, refuse gentlemen.

This flower girl is also a temperamental person, several people with a net worth background have been rejected, after all, she is a person from the palace, no one dares to blatantly embarrass her, a few people who can't get by secretly stumbling on her, Hua Niang is also a character, quietly rectifying herself, and no one dares to go to the dance pavilion to toss after that.

My mother values Hua Niang's solar terms and likes her dancing skills, and wants me to learn from her. However, today's flower girl is not like three years ago, the reputation of the dance pavilion has been beaten, and the apprentices don't need to worry about it, she is now looking at the accounts in her spare time, dancing when she is bored, and living a happy life! is so leisurely, who would be willing to turn around and accept an apprentice who doesn't know anything, everything starts with teaching.

The mother's trip this time is determined to be in vain.

"Miss."

"Picking?"

I rubbed my red and swollen throat and asked, "Why didn't my mother take you with me when I went out?" ”

"The slave and maid are coming back to pick up things, by the way, Madame's words, if you really know that you are wrong, Miss, you can go out of the ancestral hall to rest. Cai Qing has already prepared breakfast, you can use it quickly! ”

After kneeling all night, my legs were numb, let alone standing up, I didn't feel anything even if I pricked it with a needle.

"Miss, eat slowly, don't choke, slow down!"

I didn't eat for a whole day and a night, my stomach was hungry, my eyes were hot when I saw what I was eating, and I got to this who wants that image, lying on the table and drinking the whole rice porridge basin, Cai Qing retreated to the side, for fear that I would accidentally throw the porridge on her.

I was eating when I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the hall, "What about people! What about people! Where have you gone! ”

I was eating something in my mouth, where could I care about replying, Cai Qing went to look, only to hear her exclaim, "Yu Gongzi, you are back!" ”

"Oops! Xiao Qingqing, I haven't seen you for half a year, this one is getting more and more watery, what about your master! ”

"Eating, she ......... Hey, Childe! ”

I was listening to the two of them talking, only to see a person suddenly break in, and saw me holding a bowl of rice porridge and drinking porridge, and shook the handkerchief in the air with a look of great disgust, and screamed.

"Oops! Little Zhenzhen! How many days have you been without food! Are you playing tricks again and being punished to kneel in the ancestral hall! ”

I put the empty basin on the table, hammered my chest, and breathed a long sigh of relief, this belly is not the same, my body is finally warm, and my throat is much better.

I wiped my mouth and said happily, "Yo! Miss Yu is back! Didn't you follow General Meng to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief? Why did you come back so soon? ”

This girl Yu is actually not a girl, he is the godson of Father-in-law Yu in the Lafayette Palace, Father-in-law Yu has followed Lafayette all his life, and is deeply favored by Lafayette.

There was a great drought one year, Lafayette personally went out of the palace to the Dragon King Temple to ask for rain, halfway to hear the cry of a baby, Yu Gonggong went to see, saw a child was thrown in the grass, Yu Gonggong looked happy, and held it as his own son to raise.

According to the rules of the palace, the child should enter the palace purely, and his father-in-law was reluctant to ask Lafayette for grace in person, and Lafayette agreed, but since the child is not pure, he naturally cannot be raised in the palace.

Yu's father-in-law used his family background to buy a small house outside the palace, and hired two old mothers and a nurse to go out of the palace every once in a while to see the children.

Because it was a child picked up on the first day of January, Yu Gonggong named the child Yu Yi, Yu Gonggong already treasured him, Yu Yi grew up and was very filial, Yu Gonggong was even more afraid of falling in the palm of his hand, and he was afraid of melting in his mouth.

Yu Yi and Father-in-law Yu's special relatives, as long as they heard that Father-in-law Yu was out of the palace, they ran out of Yu's mansion and insisted on being with Father-in-law Yu.

Back then, my father had a meritorious escort, and read the holy decree in the father-in-law's mansion, and Yu Yi was waiting for his father outside the mansion. Although it is dressed as a man, it will always give people the illusion of a woman pretending to be a man.

When he was waiting outside the house, he heard someone selling rice flower balls not far away, thinking that his father liked to eat and jumped to buy it, and when he came back, he was stopped by two broken skins, and saw him walking gracefully, and his eyebrows were delicate, thinking that he was a woman disguised as a man and teased him. happened to be bumped into by me, and I took two nurses to step forward to call the crying father who was beaten with broken skin, and ran around with his head in his hands.

At that time, I also taught Yu Yi in the tone of a master, and commented on him up and down: "I said sister! It's not impossible for you to dress as a man, but you have to be professional, you see that you are full of flaws from head to toe, and people will see through you at a glance! ”

Later, I learned that Yu Yi was really not a woman dressed as a man, but because he had been with his father for a long time, there was a taste of a female Jiao'e from the bottom of his body.

Since I relieved him, he came to the house every now and then to find me, I always felt disobedient when I looked at his feminine appearance, and I wanted to make him a gentleman, so I wore men's clothes in front of him all day long, and learned the man's style when he spoke and acted.

Yu Yi, this kid is like a sponge smeared with oil, no matter how you pour water on him, he can't melt a drop into it.

But after staying with him for a long time, after getting acquainted with his temperament, I gradually found that he was better.

No matter how much Yu Yi speaks, no matter how girly he is when he walks, the righteousness and responsibility in his bones are no worse than the man with the crown and bundle of hair, just for this, I admire him from the bottom of my heart, the two are not only brothers, but also best friends, and often go out together.

His father loved him, and all the rare things that Lafayette had rewarded came into his room, and every time he got something good, he would bring it to me and show it.

There is a jade bone bracelet, I look at the joy, he gave it to me without saying a word, my father saw it and said that the workmanship is like a princess's dowry, I heard that it is so valuable how dare to keep it, I want to return it to him was rejected several times, so I simply left, has been treasured, dare not take it at will.

Yu Yi shook his handkerchief and sat beside me, and said happily, "Yes! I looked at the disaster relief and relief is almost the same, I am worried about you in my heart, so I said hello to General Meng, I was in a hurry to catch up in the carriage for a whole month, and only entered the gate of the capital this morning, as soon as I came back, I went straight to you, even my father didn't have time to see it, you talk about my love for you, the world can pick out the second one! ”

"Can't pick it out! Can't pick it out! ”

Yu Yi covered his mouth and was happy, the orchid fingers were more beautiful than the big girl, and he smiled mysteriously, "Xiao Zhenzhen, guess what, what good things I brought you from Jiangnan this time?" ”

"Jiangnan is full of literati and ink writers, known as the land of pen and ink, you won't bring any talented ink treasure back!"

"Oops! I don't know how much ink you have in your stomach, but I invite you to come to the emperor's painting, don't you still play the piano to the cow! I'm so smart! Can I send you that useless thing! ”

Yu Yi took out a small box from his sleeve and put it in front of me, "Take a look!" ”

I opened the small box, and there were a few dark gray stones inside, which looked a little inconspicuous at first glance, but when I looked closely at the lines on the stones, the pitted ones were somewhat unusual, and when I picked them up and looked closely, there was a faint glimmer of starlight in the cracks of the stones.

"Pick the Star Stone!"

Yu Yile pursed his lips and smiled, and the handkerchief turned around in his hand, "Accident, no!" Surprise no! ”

I nodded like a chick pecking rice, "Surprise!" This is a heavenly stone! Where do you come from? ”

The book records that the heavenly stone is a thousand years of falling, and the jewelry made of the heavenly stone will shine with starlight both day and night, and the light will be dazzling for hundreds of miles, and it will still flicker within a thousand miles.

It's just that picking star stones is rare, and no one has ever seen what it looks like, but there is a record in the book: the heavenly stone falls from the sky, and the star light is hidden in the stone.

Only these two sentences made me guess the origin of the stone, otherwise it would really be a stone block on the side of the road.

Yu Yi took a sip of tea with a cup, and said happily, "On the way to Jiangnan, I passed by Wangjiazhai, and I heard that last month they fell a piece of heavenly stone on the village, crushing a lot of livestock, but coincidentally, a human life was not harmed, and the owner of the village sent someone to offer the heavenly stone, saying that the stone has spirituality and is to avoid people from landing." As soon as I heard this, I thought you must like it! On the way back, I deliberately took a detour and went to Wangjiazhai to ask for a few broken stones. Wo Hon! You can use these few star picking stones to make a piece of jewelry, so that Uncle Ye's eyes will shine, and you may be able to leave the school! ”

I held the star picking stone and carefully locked it in the small cabinet, Yu Yi waved his hand and said, "Why are you so careful, if you accidentally lose it, I will go to Wangjiazhai to get it for you, the stone is big that day!" It's enough to hit a Buddha statue. ”

I glanced at him and said, "You really don't know anything about me, so how can Wangjiazhai enter when he says it, these pieces are already hard to come by, and then go and get them?" You don't think it's troublesome on the road, I'm afraid that they will covet your beauty and tie you up in the village to their wife! ”

"I'm baba You're really a good chatter, and you don't want me to be good at all! If you enter the palace like this, you must be the material of the degraded people! ”

Cai Qing brought up a few small snacks and removed the breakfast, I ate a few bites of snacks and thought it was good, so I beckoned Yu Yi to eat some too.

Yu Yi took a bite of the fruit, and a pair of big eyes roamed back and forth on me, and I was uncomfortable to be looked at by him.

"Hey, I said big girl, do you have something to tell me?" He looks like a girl all day long, and his father sometimes calls him a girl in private, which I heard, and often jokes about it, and he was not happy at first, but after a long time, he was used.

Yu Yi pinched the handkerchief, looked at me shyly, and smiled down, "I heard...... Your day is coming soon. My father said that as soon as this daughter's family is married, she can get married......."

I sighed, "yes! Just for this matter, the two mothers in my family have been busy lately. ”

"Busy looking for your husband's house?"

I shook my head and said helplessly, "No, but it has something to do with this, they said that I have no talent and no skills, and I am not outstanding, and I am afraid that I will be angry with my husband's family after I leave the cabinet, so I discussed finding a few masters to polish and polish me, so that I can have some interest!" ”

"Hey!" Yu Yi shook the handkerchief and said, "Whether you live well after leaving the pavilion has nothing to do with you, it depends on how your husband's family is." If your husband's family respects you! You just don't know a single word, but you can still be the master of the house and be respected! ”

This is true, and I suddenly realized, "I'm really a fan of the authorities!" Why didn't I think of this simple truth! ”

Yu Yi blinked his eyes, picked up the cup, and said slowly, "The ancestor said that this man is afraid of entering the wrong business, and the woman is afraid of marrying the wrong man." You have to be more leisurely in choosing a husband, if you are not careful, it is a big fire pit! If I marry a daughter-in-law one day, it must be to hold her on the tip of my heart, she wants the stars in the sky, I don't say a word, I have to pick her up on the knife mountain. If she wants the moon in the water, I plop and go into the water to get it for her, and I will do whatever she likes. ”

Yu Yi pinched a fruit and swirled it in his hand, and his eyes rolled straight away, "Zhenzhen!" You said that a gentle and elegant lady like me Yu Gongzi is difficult to find with a lantern. Even more precious is my ........ I haven't started a family yet! ”

I looked at Yu Yi's red face, no matter how I looked at it, it looked like he was in spring, I pulled his sleeve and asked suspiciously, "Miss Yu wants to get married?" ”

Yu Yi nodded his head as if it were rain, looked at me shyly, and I suddenly realized, "I said!" You've been squirming here for a long time, and it's for this! Tell me, whose girl. I'll tell you! No matter how high the threshold of this girl's family is, and how arrogant her temperament is, as long as the sisters come out, you will be sure to succeed! ”

"You!"

Yu Yi was suddenly unhappy, shook the handkerchief, reached out and twisted it on my arm, I let out a painful cry, Yu Yi snorted, turned his head and left.

Cai Qing came in with the fruit and asked strangely, "Why did Yu Gongzi leave in a huff?" That little mouth can hang a sesame oil bottle! ”

I rolled up my sleeves and saw that my arm was red, and there were two bright nail marks on the swollen red envelope like a hill, rubbing my hot and painful arm, and I felt aggrieved.

"I don't know where I offended him, it's really hard for the eldest girl. Could it be that I didn't want to help her chase the girl.... Do you want me to help him find a girl? ”

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't think of a reason, Miss Yu had a strange mind, and she had always been weird, Cai Qing saw me sitting for a long time, and couldn't help but say, "Miss, what are you thinking!" How did you get into it like this? ”

I glanced at her slowly, wanting to talk to her, but when the words came to my lips and turned back, Cai Qing, this girl is a typical big-breasted and brainless, and it is in vain to ask her.

"Cai Qing, prepare the car!"

"Where are you going?"

"One person alley, find rain poems to solve puzzles!"
