One hundred and twenty-two, congratulatory gifts
On the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, Invite Yu completely forgot that it was his birthday. In previous years, when there was nothing to do in the dungeon, these were the only days that could make her happy. Now that I have left the underground palace, there are more things, and the birthday seems to be less essential.
But she was still happy, after all, she was a year older and a little taller.
In the past, Zimo only knew that she would prepare some of her favorite food for Invite Yu on her birthday. Later, when he met Jiao Niang, after she reminded him of the matter, Zimo realized that many days are exquisite.
In order not to let Invite Yu be wronged and envy the girls of other families, Zimo looked for someone early to inquire about the customs of his daughter's birthday. Although they can't leave the inn at will, they can still ask the servants to buy the red head rope.
blasted away Zong Ai, and invited Yu to sit in front of the bronze mirror by Zimo.
Ying Yan stood behind Ying Yu with a smile on her face at this time, "Xian Ji forgive me, the slave has never combed Nandi's hair accessories. Zimo Langjun said to comb your hair high, which means that you are old. Then wrap it with a red head rope to drive away evil spirits and avoid disasters. Sit upright, and the slave will soon comb it for you.
Invite Yu wanted to hide a little reluctantly, "I've grown very tall. "Maybe it's because of the relationship between practicing martial arts since childhood, and the length of Ling Yu's body is indeed high among women.
Zimo pressed her back onto the cushion, "Sit down." Growing tall means that you are in good health, what's wrong? Don't move. ”
It seems that Zimo has been prepared for a long time, and Ying Yu doesn't want to sweep away Zimo's interest, so she has to sit honestly in front of the bronze mirror and let Yingyan toss her hair.
Seeing her sitting bored, Zimo took out a silk letter from his arms and handed it to Invite Yudao, "It just came in the morning." But it took Qin Zhongzhi a lot of effort. ”
Invite Yu raised his eyebrows suspiciously. Of the five guards of the Tan family, two followed Qin Zhongzhi to Qiuchi, and the other three who had never shown their faces in front of Emperor Wei infiltrated Pingcheng. Led by the Tan family's fine work in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Meng Shi, it has become a veritable eyeliner for inviting rain.
These five people have been trained together since childhood, and they have a set of methods for transmitting news that outsiders don't know, even though Tuoba Tao has surrounded the post house like a bucket, they still have a way to reveal the news to invite rain.
Zimo can give it to her in front of Yingyan, naturally it will not be a secret report. But since it wasn't a secret report, how could Qin Zhongzhi use the Tan family's meticulous work to pass it in with great effort?
Invite Yu opened the silk book quite puzzled, and after only two lines of reading, he was already in tears.
She really didn't expect that this was a letter sent by her mother, and she didn't know how many times she turned her hand before it was sent to her. It's different from the last short sentence "I hope my son is safe every day". On the silk book, some of the trivialities of the mother's life are written in neat hairpin letters.
"I met a pilgrim today, and after talking, I learned that I was about the same age as my son, and I immediately felt cordial."
"The southern courtyard planted melons, but there was no fruit for three years. Switching to planting potatoes today, I don't know how much to harvest next year? ”
"You were picky when you were a child, you don't eat non-river fish, yesterday I heard that there are peach blossom stream fish outside the Taoist temple, and I want to find a few for my son, but I am afraid that killing will damage my son's well-being, so I have to give up."
"It's cold in the north, and before I get up early, remember to send someone to warm up the cotton socks before putting them on. Do not catch a cold. ”
……
It's a thick bunch, and there's everything. Bit by bit, it seems that my mother remembered something one day, and wrote it down, with different shades of ink, maybe it was written since the last time I met Qin Zhongzhi.
It was not until the end of the letter that my mother wrote, "Count the days, my son's birthday is approaching." Mother is ashamed of you, although she can't see you, but she misses it every day. I remember that when my son was born, there was a drought and no rain, and many people suffered. And when my son fell, thunder and lightning flashed, torrential rain poured like pouring, and the drought was relieved. Invite rain for your name, and because of this. I hope that Wu'er cherishes and loves herself, and must not be disturbed by people's words. It is necessary to know that the world is established, and only the original heart cannot be shaken. Remember, remember. ”
Invite Yu hugged her mother's letter and cried. It seems that after years of grievances and entanglements, my mother's words have been comforted.
How about the Enchantress? What about Senhime? The family she cared about the most had never seen her that way. In their eyes, she has always been a naughty little girl in Tanfu and the pearl of the whole family. Isn't that enough?
"Mother...... Mother's ......" invited Yu to cry breathlessly, and finally simply fell into Zimo's arms, "I miss my mother so much-Zimo, I miss my mother so much......"
Zimo caressed Ying Yu's back with pity and smoothed her down.
Yingyan couldn't bother combing her hair, and followed to comfort Yu, "Xian Ji don't cry." Today is your birthday, and Senji's mother must want you to have a good time, don't you say? ”
Zhu Rong heard the cry of inviting rain and broke in directly. The door panel that had been knocked open shattered to the ground. When he came in, he saw Invite Yu crying in Zimo's arms, and he didn't know how to ask the reason, so he was so anxious that he spun around in place.
Invite Yu cried for almost half an hour before he finally stopped it. By this time, his eyes were swollen like peaches. Ying Yan hurriedly found a hot cloth for her to dress. Seeing that she was calm, she leaned back in the circle chair, so she gently combed her hair again, and massaged her hair while combing and relieving it.
Zimo was invited to cry tears and snot all over the rain, so he went to change his clothes. Then he took Zhu Rong to repair the door that was smashed by Zhu Rong. After finishing the repair, I saw Yingyan combing Ying Yu's high Feiyun bun, shook her head and said, "No, it's not high enough." She has never caused trouble when she goes out, and she can't stop it at all when she is so high. ”
Ying Yu wanted Bai Zimo to take a look, but his eyes were swollen and he was wearing a hot cloth, so he had to let Ying Yan remove and comb again.
Zimo simply stood next to him and looked at Ying Yan's comb, commanding while watching, "Higher, higher." ”
Ying Yan wanted to speak several times and stopped, and finally had to comb a high pigtail for Ying Yu according to Zimo's words.
Waiting for Invite Yu to take off the hot veil, he saw the tall and straight braid on the back of his head from the bronze mirror, and laughed angrily, "Are you asking me to go to the grass boat to borrow arrows?" I also deliberately set a benchmark here! ”
Invite Yu to remove his hair, but Zimo stopped him. invited Yu to grab Zimo and comb him with a pigtail. Ying Yan covered her mouth and smiled on the side, watching the two of them play in circles around the house.
The house was bustling, and the servants of the embassy came to report that Qiu Chi had sent someone to deliver something to Xian Ji. I pulled several carts over, and the guards at the gate have checked it, and it's no problem, it's already pulled into the yard. The escort was also waiting in the private room.
When Yu heard this, he thought that Qin Zhongzhi had sent someone, but how could the letter and things be sent separately? Invite Yu was anxious to know Qiu Chi's situation, so he didn't think much about it, and went out to the private room. Halfway through, he ran back with his head covered, "Quickly dismantle this arrow on my head!" ”
The private room of the post house is actually a large noodle room. Since the inns are often inhabited by envoys from various countries, it is easy to arouse the suspicion of other countries when they go to someone's courtyard alone. Therefore, everyone always likes to gather in the private room, talk about the world, and then listen to the news of other countries.
The elegant room of the Northern Wei Dynasty is well built, the main room in the middle can accommodate fifty seats, there is a tea room on the left, and there is a music room on the right. When Emperor Wei ascended the throne and invited the kingdoms, it was full of people every day.
Now the post house has become a prison cell for inviting rain in disguise, so there are no outsiders to disturb it.
As soon as Invite Yu entered the elegant room, he saw that there seemed to be two people standing inside, and if he looked closely, it was not right, although the back was very broad, but it was a person.
When the visitor heard the sound of pushing the door, he turned around and saw Yu and Zimo coming in. Then he showed a smile familiarly, "The villain asked Tan Girl Ann." ”
