Chapter 19 Visiting the Sick
*
"Li Junan"? The name sounds familiar, but it is very vague in the princess's impression, and it seems to be related to a childhood memory of the princess.
"You ......"
Li Junan raised his head, although he knelt on the ground, his aura was lofty, neither humble nor arrogant, "The grass people are the stewards of the suburbs. Ten years ago, the princess stayed in the Humble House for a few months, and the Humble House is still full of glory. ”
"It turns out that you are the steward of the family of the old Li Kaizong?" Zuo Ying's heart lit up. She remembered that Li Kaizong, who had assisted three generations of emperors, was once a wealthy tycoon, and later in troubled times, he gave up business and entered politics, and sold all his family property to raise soldiers and horses to help the princess's grandfather, Emperor Taizu, fight the country. He not only contributed money and offered advice, but also was humble and generous, with the style of the elderly, and his moral character was praised, so he later served as a master and apprentice in the official residence, the founding county prince, and successively served as the elder of the three dynasties, and was highly respected in the imperial court, and had a certain foundation.
Emperor Wu, that is, the princess's father, because of his gratitude for Li Kaizong's kindness, did not even build his own palace after building the capital in Luoyang, and the first thing he did was to buy back the old mansion that he had sold back then, and ordered someone to renovate it and reward him.
Therefore, after the princess was sent back to Luoyang, she lived in Wuweiju before the palace was built. At that time, Li Junan, who was close to the age of confusion, had followed Li Kaizong for many years, and also returned to the old mansion to manage the mansion for Li Kaizong, so he was in the memory of the princess.
"The princess still remembers the grass people, and the grass people are very honored. Although the lord is wandering around, the grass people are in the middle of nothingness, waiting for the princess to come again. After Li Junan finished speaking, he kowtowed three times before getting up, and retreated respectfully.
Zuo Ying looked at the back of the two grandparents leaving, playing with what had just happened, and always felt that it was better to believe that this was a joint performance than to believe that it was an accident.
Well, yes, acting. The vast majority of people spend a large part of their lives performing with their own purposes; The person who knows that he is performing is an actor, and the person who does not know that he is performing is a prop. Zuo Ying likes to treat herself as an audience, watching the scenes with joy and anger, and when she is lucky, she can easily see the director and screenwriter behind it.
It's just that I don't know how much the ticket price of this "performance" of the grandparents and grandchildren is. Just for Bo Zuoying to smile? Or do you want something more valuable?
Suddenly, the little figure that had been far away turned back and jumped in front of Zuo Ying.
"Sister, grandpa said 'courtesy is still exchanged'." Feng'er looked up at Zuo Ying and grinned, revealing a row of teeth that had not yet grown, and the little gourd handed over something wrapped in waxy silk cloth and stuffed it into Zuo Ying's hand, "This is for you, sister." ”
Zuo Yinggang took the thing curiously, and it felt like a small piece of wood the length of a palm. The wind turned her head, "giggled", and jumped away like the wind.
Playing dumb riddles, which was popular among the ancients, is not something that the big sister of the underworld should do, but this does not mean that Zuo Ying does not have such talent.
In a simple bronze mirror, the slender and feminine figure of Scarlet Feather sitting in front of the mirror is reflected. Behind her was the not spacious but clean room where she lived.
She loosened the strap around her waist, gently lifted the placket of her dress, and untied the inner wrap of her breasts, revealing a piece of white skin like congealed fat on her chest; The snow-white skin made the crimson mark in the center look particularly dazzling, that was the place where he had been kicked by Empress Li's inner attendant just now.
Scarlet Feather pressed her fingertips on the seal, and the pain that spread from there didn't hurt her heart, but it still made her brow furrow slightly.
At this moment, Scarlet Feather heard the door of the room being "clucked" twice, and hurriedly folded the placket and turned his head to look. Before he could agree, the door was pushed open, and the two palace maids, one tall and one short, were called in.
The two palace maids were all smiling, and each of them was holding these things in their hands.
Seeing that it was the two of them, Scarlet Feather seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, smiled at them, and continued to unhurriedly tie her untied clothes.
These two palace maids, the slightly taller one is called Guixiang, who was transferred to Yongning Palace shortly before Scarlet Feather entered the palace, so they got closer to Scarlet Feather, and the relationship between the two became closer and closer and became friends; And the shorter one is called Lianlu, she is careless and forgetful, and often makes mistakes and is punished, it is Scarlet Feather who plays a round for her everywhere and takes care of the aftermath for her, so she suffers a lot less beatings and scolding, so she is very grateful to Scarlet Feather, often corresponds to Scarlet Feather, and is called "sister" to Scarlet Feather. And these two people are also good friends with each other because they are both close to Scarlet Feather.
"Scarlet Feather, I saw you kicked several times by those evil slaves just now, and you must have been hurt a lot." Guixiang handed a small dark brown porcelain bottle to Scarlet Feather with one hand, and put the other hand on Scarlet Feather's shoulder, "This ointment is the most effective for treating bruises, last time the family heard that I was always beaten by the princess here, so I tried my best to ask someone to bring it to me, and I have not been willing to use it." Come on, I'll help you put it on. ”
Scarlet Feather subconsciously grabbed her collar, but she apologized for refusing other people's kindness, and said softly: "Thank you Sister Guixiang, I can apply it myself, I don't have to trouble you." ”
"Okay, okay," Guixiang smiled and put the small porcelain bottle on the dresser, "You, everyone has been a good sister for many years, why are you still so shy?" I thought that until now, none of the sisters in the Yongning Palace have seen your skin except for your face and hands! Yes, then my sister won't force you, you can paint it yourself for a while, remember to paint it, don't waste a piece of my sister's heart. ”
Scarlet Feather pursed her lips and nodded respectfully, "Sister, I must remember." ”
"Then let's drink this bowl of Tianqi red date soup while it's hot, it's made by our friends in the dining room." Lianlu carefully put a food box in her hand on the dresser, opened the lid, and brought out a large bowl of hot soup with a fragrant medicinal fragrance and put it in front of Scarlet Feather, "Don't worry, I know that you have always been a vegetarian and have not put meat in it." ”
"Exactly, the medicine can be used later, but this bowl of soup that nourishes qi and blood must be drunk while it is hot to be beneficial to the body." Guixiang also smiled and persuaded.
Scarlet Feather looked at the steaming Tianqi red date soup, and then looked at the two people beside him, and couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, "Sister Guixiang, Sister Lianlu, you are so good to Scarlet Feather." ”
Guixiang smiled: "Silly sister, what kind words do you say." You are hurt, and we are distressed. Drink the soup quickly, it's important to recover as soon as possible. ”
