Chapter 26: Return to Jinling (16)

"This is the place where Madame stays, only a wall away from where I live, but it is an independent courtyard, and there is a small door on the north wall, through which Madame's servants can enter and exit, so that it should be convenient for Madame's daily conduct."

Jiang led the crescent moon to a simple and cold courtyard, and the crescent moon looked at the shadow of Suo Suo's falling, and the thin leaf fell on the sleeve of the crescent moon, which was a bamboo leaf.

Looking up again, this courtyard is hidden in a bamboo forest, Xinyue looked at the name of the courtyard "Puzhu Courtyard", and there is quite a bit of Buddhism, and with the surrounding environment, it is not like a backyard for female dependents, but a place to learn Buddhism and penance.

Stepping into the courtyard, the three main houses are hidden behind the shadowy, upright and unbending bamboo, because in winter, the porch windows have all been closed, but these porch windows have abandoned the heavy wooden planks, and replaced them with windproof and light-transmitting paper, which not only keeps warm, but also makes the light in the room brighter.

"It's really chic." The crescent moon hasn't entered the courtyard yet, just looking at these porch windows and being very satisfied, as a place to live for only a few days, it's really quiet and nice.

"When I chose a place to live for my wife, the prince happened to be there, so the prince chose this place for you, saying that my wife would definitely like it." After Jiang finished speaking, the smile between his eyebrows suddenly faded.

Xinyue was a little surprised, she and the Jiang family were not familiar with each other, what did she mean by saying this.

Seeing that Xinyue was thinking, Jiang immediately explained, "It's just that when I see that Mrs. likes it, I know that the prince chose correctly." ”

"Yes, thank you so much, and I want to trouble you to arrange it, princess." The crescent moon bowed slightly, which was regarded as a thank-you.

Jiang's expression was complicated, she looked at the crescent moon, she looked at it very carefully, very seriously, and the crescent moon was already a little uncomfortable, so she turned her gaze again and looked at the courtyard where the pavilion was standing.

The meaning of Jiang's string of deep eyes was something that Xinyue couldn't grasp, which made her feel confused, so she frowned, which made the wound between her eyebrows a little painful.

Princess Jin saw that Xinyue was confused, and immediately smiled, and said decently, "Madame has come from afar, she must be tired, I will set up a banquet in the front hall in the evening, and I will continue at dinner, Madame will settle down first, I still have something in the front yard." ”

"Yes, thank you, Princess." Xinyue watched Princess Jin leave, she walked very fast, without waiting for the maid behind her to help, she went forward alone, this was Xinyue's first encounter with this Jin princess, it was really, not very pleasant.

When they entered the room, the fire had been lit in the house, and the servants in the other carriage had already lifted the crescent moon things out of the carriage and placed them in the other carriage.

The new moon was really cold, and after entering the house, she kept sitting by the brazier, and she couldn't help complaining, "It's really too cold." ”

"Madam, it's just that Bingzhou makes you unbearable cold, so further north, how can the people of Liang State live." Mama Wang finally came, she untied the hair on Xinyue's body, took off the fine ash on it, and hung it on the shelf on the side.

"Yes, Liang Guo is colder." The new moon looked at the fire in the charcoal basin, a little distracted.

"Seeing what Mrs. said with such emotion, it seems like she has been to Liang Kingdom." Fei'er presented the box in her hand, which was a gift that Xinyue specially brought from the Yuwang Mansion to Princess Jin, Xinyue reached out and took the box, "Naturally, I haven't gone yet." ”

But it was almost over, Xinyue opened the box in her hand, made sure that the contents were what she wanted, and then handed it to Fei'er, "It's this, remember to bring it when you go to the banquet for dinner." ”

Fei'er carefully put away the "Yes, ma'am"

"Madame" Feng'er came in from outside, and Xinyue had just sent her out.

"How's it going?" Crescent Moon flipped her hands and continued to bake the fire.

"The slave maid went to ask the housekeeper Cheng of the front house, saying that the prince went out early yesterday morning, and there was a small yellow door that went out with him in the afternoon, and came back to say that the prince was going to Liangzhou to deal with things. I haven't decided when I'll be back, but it's about tonight. ”

"You just went straight up and down to ask the steward of the palace?" Mama Wang listened to her reply, thinking about why the girl she usually taught very well was so reckless at this time.

"I asked her to ask the housekeeper directly, we live like this, we should know the things, but I showed my timidity, so I asked like this, and I won't leave a handle."

"Yes," Mama Wang heard that this is indeed the truth, "Madam, the bed is made, go and rest." ”

Xinyue looked up at the bed, "Mama, you find my aqua-red robe with lotus patterns embroidered on it." ”

"Do you want to wear it, Madame?" The clothes that Xinyue often wears are all cleaned up by Mama Wang, and only she knows.

"It's not a good one to wear after snow, but the aqua red color doesn't work well either." Xinyue thought for a moment and shook her head, "Forget it, let's wear this." ”

"Madam, wear dark clothes on a snowy day" Mama Wang found a blue robe, which matched the skirt on Xinyue's body, Xinyue saw it, and shook her head even more, "Forget it"

In the evening, the new moon was sitting in front of the mirror, listening to the servants from the outside world say, "Madam, the princess has sent someone." ”

"Please" After Xinyue finished speaking, a woman dressed as a maid bent down and came in from behind the curtain, Xinyue had seen her and followed Princess Jin, who should be a second-class maid beside her.

I saw the maid curts, "Slave Shaoyi, please say hello to the lady." ”

"Please, what's the matter?" Crescent sat up straight.

"The slave maid is here to pass on the princess's words, the prince returned to the house before, I am afraid that the lady is not only here, so I let the slave and maid come and accompany the lady to the front yard to eat."

"To the front yard?" Xinyue remembered that when Princess Jin was in the morning, she said that she would go to her courtyard for a light meal.

"Yes, the prince heard that his wife was coming, and he also wanted to meet his wife."

"Okay, then please wait a minute, I'll change my clothes." Xinyue lowered her head and looked at the lilac robe on her body, which was indeed not suitable, and after weighing it again, Xinyue put on the water red, embroidered with lotus patterns, like a pink lotus that was quietly blooming.

"Let's go" Xinyue walked out of the door, and felt that the clothes on her body were not as dignified as the lilac robe just now, so she stopped her steps, and asked Shaoyi strangely, "Madam, did you forget to take something?" ”

"It's okay" Xinyue straightened her dress, walked forward, walked out of the room and was blown by the cold wind, Xinyue completely sobered up, laughing at her stupidity just now, how, because there was no breakthrough for King Jin, did you actually want to attract him with her complexion? It's whimsical.

This courtyard is not far from the courtyard of Princess Jin, but if you go to the front yard, it will be a distance, and it is snowing, and the road is slippery and difficult, Shaoyi called a sedan chair, and the new moon did not postpone it, and bent down and sat in the sedan chair.
