063 Pray for rain
It was not yet noon, and Chu Qianchen returned to the Hou Mansion.
She originally thought that she might come back late today, so she deliberately reported to the Shen family before going out.
When she came back at this time, she went directly to the main courtyard first.
Soon, a little maid led her to the porch and waited, and went in to report it herself.
Chu Qianchen heard a somewhat familiar female voice coming from the hall: "...... Today, the emperor went to the Yuanqing Temple, and also asked the Xuanjing Taoist to pray for rain. ”
Chu Qianchen immediately recognized that the owner of this voice was Mama Rong, whom she had a relationship with in Jishitang.
After Mama Rong's reminder, Chu Qianchen remembered that it seemed that it might not have rained for a long time at this time in his previous life, and then it was summer, and it was even more unbearable.
At that time, Aunt Jiang said that she was afraid of heat, so she gave Aunt Jiang all the ice in her share, and she herself suffered from heat stroke, and the scars on her face that had not healed also festered.
But whether the emperor in the previous life asked Xuanjing Dao Chang to pray for rain, and when it rained later, after a long time, she really can't remember.
Chu Qianchen didn't listen to what was being said inside, and looked at the courtyard outside the hall.
The peach blossoms in the yard were almost gone, and the pink petals were blooming on the branches. As soon as the wind moves, the petals are gently shaking.
The corners of Chu Qianchen's mouth curled, leisurely.
"Second girl, Madame let you in." After a while, the little maid came out again and led Chu Qianchen into the hall.
In the hall, in addition to the Shen family and the servants serving, sure enough, Mama Rong next to the princess of Jingjun was also there.
Chu Qianchen stepped forward without squinting and blessed the Shen family, "Mother." ”
Mama Rong's eyes were looking at Chu Qianchen, and the corners of her lips pursed.
Hearing Fang Cai call Chu Qianchen the second girl, I knew that she should be the concubine born to the favored Aunt Jiang.
Look at this delicate appearance and delicate figure, and her mother is afraid that it is carved out of the same mold, bewitching.
"Sister Chen, sit down." Shen smiled and asked Chu Qianchen to sit down, with a friendly attitude, which made Mama Rong a little surprised.
Then, Shen continued to say to Mama Rong: "What else is there to do with your princess? ”
Mama Rong retracted her gaze and smiled politely: "Madam, our princess also asked the slave maid to ask you, has the eldest cousin ever given our county lord a crescent-shaped sachet?" ”
"Crescent-shaped sachets?" Shen raised his eyebrows, "Sister Huang is still in the palace, when she comes back in a few days, I'll ask her." ”
"Mother," Chu Qianchen said, "I gave that sachet to the county lord." ”
Shen looked at her.
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "That day, I saw a little girl rushing into the rockery in the garden, and there was no one around. I saw that she seemed to be frightened, so I gave her a sachet. ”
"The spices in the sachet are made by me, which has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind."
"Later, the eldest sister came over, and I learned that she was the county lord of Hui'an in the Jingjun Palace."
When Chu Qianchen was in Jishitang, she used the veil to hide her voice slightly, and she believed that Mama Rong should not be able to hear it.
Mama Rong was skeptical of Chu Qianchen's words, and looked at her scrutinically.
Chu Qianchen looked back calmly, his eyes clear.
She only explained the ins and outs, and did not add much details, and her expression revealed a kind of indifference and open-mindedness that was not shocked.
On the contrary, Shen frowned slightly.
That day, Sister Huang didn't tell her that Qi Niang was frightened and ran away alone, but fortunately she met Sister Chen, otherwise, I don't know what would happen......
Hey, Sister Huang didn't go through anything after all, and she was not as steady as Sister Chen, when she came back, she had to talk about her, and she must not be so contemptuous in the future.
"Mama Rong," Shen said with a smile, "Sister Chen'er knows a little about medicine, so let Qi Niang take the sachet to play." ”
What she meant by this was that she could guarantee that there was no problem with the sachet, so that Shen Wan would not have to worry.
Mama Rong naturally understood, and was even more surprised by Shen's attitude towards this concubine.
"Yes, ma'am." Mama Rong smiled and agreed.
With Shen's guarantee, it was inconvenient for her to ask Chu Qianchen what medicinal materials were in this sachet.
She thought in her heart, when the princess took the county lord to Jishitang for a follow-up in a few days, maybe she could let the little divine doctor identify the medicinal materials in the sachet, otherwise, the princess would not be at ease.
Mama Rong glanced at Chu Qianchen again, thinking that she just said that the sachet has the effect of "concentrating and calming the mind", she couldn't help but think: Today, the county lord seems to have suddenly felt much better, and he will speak, could it be the reason for this sachet?
This thought flashed through Mama Rong's heart.
Soon, she felt that she was thinking too much.
"Then the slave and maid went back to the princess." Mama Rong blessed the Shen family, "The slave maid said goodbye first." ”
Shen instructed the eldest maid Dongmei to help her send off the guests, and Dongmei personally led Mama Rong out.
Shen asked people to re-serve tea, and asked gently, "Sister Chen, did you go to Yuanqingguan today?" ”
The reason why she asked this was because she saw the food box that Amber was carrying, and the food box had the imprint of Yuan Qingguan on it.
Yuan Qingguan has always been full of incense, at least three or four percent of it comes from their fasting, especially those pastries are particularly delicious.
Chu Qianchen pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Mother's eyes are so sharp. ”
Amber presented the box to the past.
There are two layers in this food box, the first layer is a cloud cake, white as clotted cream, delicate and soft; The second layer is four-color dumplings, all of which are delicate and beautiful.
Shen took a piece of cloud cake and tasted it, praised a few words, wiped the crumbs on his hands with a handkerchief, and said: "I heard that the emperor also went to Yuanqingguan today. ”
"Has the emperor also gone? I didn't see it, maybe I left early. Chu Qianchen said truthfully, feeling that it was a little strange for Shen to suddenly mention this.
She took a shallow sip of hot tea, smiled on her lips, and sat obediently.
Shen raised his hand and made a gesture, signaling the people in the house to retreat, leaving Mama Chen to wait.
Shen said: "It is said that the emperor went to ask for rain today, at that time, the emperor talked to Xuanjing Daoist alone for a while, and when he came out, someone heard him say to the prince, His Royal Highness King Chen is seriously ill, I am afraid that he will not live long......"
