Chapter 30: Hot Spot
"It's really a disappointment, I wanted to listen to the rain in front of the steps, but I wanted to come to such a person's disappointment."
Yingchun was so angry that he returned to the house, Fang sat down, and Xi'an had already come over with a cup of hot tea.
"Grandma has a lot of opportunities to listen to the rain, and the illness is good, I'm afraid that it will be cold again, and I'm about to go down to please." Xi'an said as he handed the teacup to Yingchun.
"I've never seen my lord so good-tempered, and our lord has no way to take grandma now." The chess game couldn't help but laugh.
"Oh, what do you mean?" Xi'an said curiously.
So the chess game told Xi'an what had just happened, and when he said the embarrassment, the two maids covered their mouths and laughed together.
"You're the ones who don't have the rules!" Yingchun stood up angrily, walked to the window, and continued to look at the raindrops outside the window in a daze.
It would be nice if the incense was incense in Cheng'en Temple the day after tomorrow, and I could see King Beijing.
She wants to know if this person is worthy of Sister Lin as the legend says, and whether it is worth her to try hard.
The rain outside the window was still pouring down, and the chess game was bringing hot water to prepare for the Spring Festival to wash and change clothes, but I saw a little maid from the main house at the door, holding a tray lined with red brocade cloth in her hand, and a pair of golden pearl crowns and phoenix cloak were placed on the tray.
"This is grandma's previous thing, Sister Manfu has been keeping it, and the old man ordered to find it and send it to grandma." The little girl said to Xi'an, who came to open the door.
Xi'an was stunned for a moment, and then took it with a smile.
"I'm tired of Miss Manfu taking it so carefully, go back and tell Miss Manfu that my grandmother is here to thank her."
The little girl answered, and turned away.
"It's the first time I've seen this thing, and I don't even know when I got it." Xi'an came to Yingchun with a tray in his hand.
Yingchun glanced at it and said with a smile: "They probably helped us collect a lot of things, but they have worked hard for them this year." β
"Grandma is just good-tempered." Xi'an said unhappily while putting the set of beaded phoenix cloak into the cupboard and putting it away.
"What's the bad temper, I went to Lian Xing last time to ask for that iron, Sun Shaozu thought I was going to eat his concubine, and almost fought with me," Yingchun finished speaking, and yawned: "Let's sleep, we will go to Nan'an County Mansion tomorrow." β
The rain fell overnight, and when it was almost dawn, Yingchun pushed open the window, and a cool breeze rushed in with the moist breath after the rain.
The chess game took out the two sets of embroidered costumes the day before yesterday, dressed up for the Spring Festival, and then finished breakfast together, and then sent the Spring Festival to the corner gate of the garden.
"Grandma must come back early today." The chess game stood at the door and explained again and again.
"Got it." Yingchun smiled, and left here with Xi'an.
The two of them passed through Mingwa Lane, arrived at Jian'an Street, and found a carriage on the street, and the coachman saw that it was two embroidery girls with needles and threads, and he did not suspect him, so he brought the two to the entrance of the street in front of the Nan'an County Government, and then stopped at a tall archway, and did not dare to move forward, so the two of them paid the fare, got out of the car, and walked along the street all the way.
In front of the palace of the county, compared to the Taishi Mansion, it is another magnificent atmosphere, along the tall courtyard wall, there is a military guard standing at a distance of three or four zhang, and when it comes to the place where there is still a long distance from the main gate, there is a yellow-clothed inner supervisor who came over and stopped the two.
Yingchun took out the worship post, and after reading it, the inner supervisor returned it to Yingchun, and pointed them to the side door in the southeast corner, and the two of them walked for a long time, and then came to the side door, and there were several servants standing in front of the high threshold, one of them came up and took Yingchun's post and handed it in, and after a while, two women dressed in palace clothes came over, and welcomed the two of them in.
This Nan'an Palace, not like Jiafu and Liang Taishi's Mansion, pay attention to pavilions and pavilions, the layout is chic, but upright and solemn, one hall after another, layer by layer leading inward, into the inner courtyard, the palace maids introduced in front are not qualified to go further, but two more well-dressed palace maids came out, and the two Yingchun people were led in.
This inner courtyard is much more delicate and lively than the front, a mountain and a stone are very exquisite, the road on both sides of the green trees, two palace maids lead the spring Xi'an all the way to the flowers and willows, and then came to a pavilion by the lake.
In the pavilion sat a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman, snuggled beside a gorgeous girl in a hundred butterfly colored satin skirts, the girl was stroking a flower cat in her arms, and when she saw that spring was coming, she stood up.
This must be Concubine Nan'an and the little county lord.
Yingchun and Xi'an stepped forward and knelt down to pay respects.
Concubine Nan'an glanced at Yingchun, and said with a smile: "Liang Jing's girl really didn't talk nonsense, I didn't expect Li Xiuniang to be born such a good talent, if it was born in a big family, I don't know how many princes and grandchildren rushed to propose, hey, how do I think Li Niangzi is a bit like the child of one of my relatives." β
When Yingchun Xi'an heard this, her heart was pounding with fright.
Yingchun remembered that Concubine Nan'an summoned Baochai Daiyu Baoqin Xiangyun and five people to visit Chun at Jia's mother's birthday banquet, and she had never seen herself, so she dared to come to see Concubine Nan'an without fear.
So she had to laugh and said: "How can we have such a blessing, the concubine Niangniang praised it like this, it is really a killing of the people's daughter." β
Concubine Nan'an really hadn't seen Yingchun, but she saw that her temperament was not ordinary, so she said that, so she smiled and stretched out her hand to signal them to get up.
At this time, the little county lord beside the concubine walked up, and said to Yingchun with a smile: "Mrs. Li, the makeup you painted for the sister of the Liang family a few days ago is really beautiful, I am going to incense tomorrow, and you will also teach me how to make such fat powder and what kind of clothes to wear." β
Yingchun looked at the little county lord and couldn't help but smile.
It seems that there must be a lot of ladies who will go to incense tomorrow, but I hope I don't meet acquaintances.
Well, this girl is a straight person, and she doesn't hide her purpose at all.
So she pretended not to know anything, and asked in surprise: "Is the county lord going to incense tomorrow, as long as you dress dignified and steady, and don't neglect the Buddha, you don't need to bother with extra thoughts." β
"You don't know, I'm going to see someone tomorrow." The county lord said that, his face was slightly red.
"Oh," Yingchun looked in a trance, and then continued to smile: "With the dignity of the county lord, whoever you want to meet, the other party should be flattered, why bother so much." β
"That personβ" The county lord's face was red, his eyes were rolling, and he couldn't say any more.
Yingchun sighed secretly in his heart, this King of Beijing seems to be really hot.
