Chapter Eighty-Five: Concentric Knots

Wan Hui only felt that she seemed to have changed something, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only sigh in her heart.

In the evening, when the moon rabbit was rising, the little maids in the courtyard put out the incense case and put some melons and fruits on it. He also piled up the small purses, handkerchiefs and the like that were embroidered on weekdays.

The warbler is the most excited, bringing a lot of things from the outside, what silk head flowers, what splendid Pisces pairs are exquisite and abnormal.

Wan Hui was afraid that they would make too much trouble, so she told Ouyang Zhen to move the incense case to the backyard, Ouyang Zhen grabbed a handful of melon seeds, and the black melon seeds on her white hands were even more full and black, and she watched them go back and forth while knocking, and said with a smile: "What is my aunt afraid of?" Just let them make a fuss, and let me see it. Besides, Hou Ye didn't come over so early. ”

Wan Hui had no choice but to let them go.

The incense case was set, and the little maids scrambled to burn incense one by one. At night, the stars were scattered like jewels of all colors on black velvet.

Ouyang Zhen sat on the bamboo chaise longue in the outer hall, watching them all bow and bow down with piety on their faces. After worshipping, one of them took another sewing box, put out the lights under the eaves, and threaded the needles to the moon one by one.

Ouyang Zhen looked at it with a smile, his thoughts suddenly clear.

It seems that it was still yesterday, when she was young, she was sitting under the moon, and the nurse was sitting beside her, and she was chattering: "My good lady, look carefully, wear it quickly, and get the skill of the Weaver Girl, and you will be able to marry a good husband in the future." ”

She was small by the snow-white moonlight, and her delicate hands shuttled like flying, and she had worn several in less than half a moment.

What Lang Jun was, where did she know at that time, she only vaguely knew that it was her future heaven and earth, and he would dominate the sorrow and joy.

Time flies, and now, she can only sit on the side and watch them indifferently have the same dreams as when she was a girl, beautiful and simple.

The maids in the courtyard were making a fuss, fighting to see who wore more needles and who wore less. Suddenly, the courtyard door slowly opened, Chu Huotian entered the door first, and Li Jingcai followed behind him, still holding some things in his hands.

The maids who were in a hurry suddenly fell silent, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak.

Ouyang Zhen came back to his senses, saw him coming, and hurriedly got up to meet him, Wan Hui hurriedly helped her, and gave a look to the stunned maids.

The maids saluted as if they had woken up from a dream, and retreated in panic.

"Why did Master Hou come here so early?" Ouyang Zhen smiled on his face, and stepped forward to be deeply blessed. She knew that he was coming today, so she specially dressed a little brighter.

Dark purple embroidered spring sleeping begonia long skirt, draped in a shawl of the same color yarn, the head pulled the "flower bun" on both sides of the hairpin with a golden butterfly inlaid with exquisite jade gold step, and a grape hanging branch in front of the forehead Jin Huasheng.

Two pairs of jasper earrings hung down in each ear, thin grease powder, action like a bright flower shining on the water, weak willow to support the wind. A pair of big and black eyes are shining, and they are even more beautiful like jade under the lights, and the charm is indescribable.

Chu Huotian helped her with a smile and said, "Dress energetically today, not bad, don't be so plain on weekdays, some good clothes should be taken out and worn." ”

Ouyang Zhen led him into the outer hall and said with a smile as he walked: "In a few months, no matter how beautiful the clothes are, I won't be able to wear them." ”

Chu Huotian laughed, nodded yes, and suddenly said, "Your yard is very lively today." The little maidens are all begging. ”

Ouyang Zhen took the fragrant tea offered by Wan Hui, handed it to him and said with a smile: "Yes, I didn't expect Master Hou to come so soon." Look at them one by one. ”

Chu Huotian smiled again, touched his face and said, "Could it be that Ben Hou looks so scary?" They were frightened. ”

Ouyang Zhen tilted his head, looked left and right, and said seriously: "The nose is square, the balance is full, well, the dragon and phoenix among the people, the heroes in the seat, not scary, but scary." He laughed first.

Chu Huotian saw that her face was like spring and her smile was like a flower, and he couldn't help but feel happy, and asked Li Jingcai to serve the plate of things, and smiled mysteriously: "Guess what good things Ben Hou brought you?" When he said this, with a hint of expectation, his face was as handsome as jade, and he looked a few years younger under the dim light.

Ouyang Zhen saw that the lacquer plate was tightly covered, shook his head and smiled: "The concubine doesn't know." It's either food or clothing. ”

Chu Huotian saw that she couldn't guess, he smiled, lifted the silk cloth on the lacquer plate, Ouyang Zhen looked at it, there was a pair of concentric knots lying quietly on the lacquer plate, and a pair of white jade was wrapped in the knot, the jade was smooth and visible, just like two hearts.

The white jade, the red thread, are entwined, and I don't know which is the head and which is the tail.

Ouyang Zhen was a little stunned, Chu Huotian took the pair of concentric knots, the two were exactly the same, and lay quietly in his big palm. Chu Huotian's face was slightly red, he coughed, and said to Ouyang Zhen a little unnaturally: "I saw it on the side of the street today, and I think this is still a little interesting." Thinking that you have very few ornaments on you, this one is very joyful, so I bought it, and you and I have one by one......"

Before he finished speaking, Li Jingcai, who was holding the plate, couldn't help but "snort" and couldn't hold back his laughter.

Chu Huotian's eyes were like knives, and a slap of the wind flew by, and Li Jingcai's smile had to be swallowed raw.

What did I see on the street, it was clear that he was sent to the "Jade Embroidery Workshop" in Beijing five days ago to find a seventy-year-old embroidery lady to make it, and hung it in the Yuelao Temple for a day, and only today I sent him to get it.

Ay...... It's not easy to be a subordinate, so you have to cover up for the lord. Li Jingcai's intestines were almost knotted, and he didn't dare to laugh if he wanted to.

I heard what Chu Huotian said, "This knot is also a good clothes, hang it up, it looks very good." I couldn't help but turn the whites of my eyes up: this ...... Where is this red color good with clothes, the clothes worn by Mrs. Ouyang are all very elegant, and with a red and vulgar concentric knot, isn't it......

Chu Huotian said for a long time, Ouyang Zhen came back to his senses, took one, and smiled at him: "Thank you Lord Hou for your kindness, the concubine must be with her every day and hide it closely." ”

Her smile was as light as water, but it was incredibly beautiful. Chu Huotian was stunned for a moment, but also smiled deeply.

She understands his intentions.

The two talked for a while, and Ouyang Zhen's face showed tiredness. He was about to invite Chu Huotian into the inner room to rest.

Li Jingcai suddenly came in in a hurry and whispered a few words to Chu Huotian.

The more Chu Huotian listened, the more his brows were deep, his handsome face was thoughtful, he nodded, and went out of the outer hall with him. Ouyang Zhen saw that there were people outside the courtyard bowing and waiting, and it seemed that there was something urgent to report to Chu Huotian.
