Chapter 10 The full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival
As a punishment for going out without permission, Li Ying punished Lan Yue and Chunlan for a month's money, and everyone slowly dispersed, and Lord Lin and Li Ying also left the embroidery workshop one after another.
It's been the third watch, Chunlan is still holding the basket in the courtyard, I don't know if I feel sorry for those broken snacks, or I feel sorry for next month's salary.
"Sister Xiaoyue, Director Li is really ruthless, you can punish me for sweeping the land for a month, why do you want to fine my wages, woo woo...... And that Yufen, she ...... It's revenge......"
Lan Yue said with a headache: "Chunlan, you have been crying for half an hour, and the punishment has been punished, we will definitely not go out again without money, besides, I was already sweeping the floor, and Director Li doesn't know what else to punish me." ”
"Woo woo woo ......"
"If you cry again, I'll take back this hairpin!" Lan Yue stretched out her hand to pluck the hairpin from Chunlan's head, turned around and left.
"Sister Xiaoyue, I'm ...... I don't cry anymore! Chunlan raised her sleeves to wipe away her tears and chased after her......
In the next two days, Chunlan's face was bitter and hateful, and the people in the entire embroidery workshop walked around when they saw her, but there were still people who were not afraid of death who came to the door.
"You...... It's Chunlan, right? A tall and mighty man stopped her and asked.
Although Bai Hong is responsible for the security of the embroidery workshop, not many people have actually seen him.
Chunlan has grown so big, there are few young men who take the initiative to talk to her, and when she encounters Bai Hong's questioning, she is still very scared.
"I ...... It's called Chunlan, what's the matter with you? ”
Chunlan looked around as she spoke, and there was no one around, so she plucked up her courage and asked, "You are also from the embroidery workshop?" I...... How come I haven't seen you! ”
Bai Hong raised his hand and touched his nose, cleared his throat and said, "Uh...... I know you, I heard...... You have been fined wages, the day after tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, according to the usual embroidery workshop has to have a day off, this ......"
As she spoke, Bai Hong took out a money bag from her sleeve and handed it to Chunlan, "You can celebrate the festival with it!" ”
Chunlan was even more startled, and waved her hand again and again, seeing that this money bag was bulging, there should be a lot of money in it.
Although she grew up in a poor family, she also knew that she should not take money from strangers, especially strange men.
Bai Hong stiffened his head and said, "I...... There are relatives in Linjiazhuang, we can be regarded as ......" Speaking of this, he didn't know how to make it up, so he directly stuffed the money bag into Chunlan's hand.
"Anyway, you just take it, don't embarrass me!" After saying this, Bai Hong fled as if she were leaving......
Lan Yue looked at the money bag in Chunlan's hand, and was so angry that she died, "You don't even know that person, you dare to ask for his money?" What does he give you money for? Definitely ill-intentioned! ”
"Not necessarily...... I don't think he's a bad guy! Chunlan looked at the bulging Blue Moon and said timidly.
"You said he was from the embroidery workshop, you take me to him!" Lan Yue pulled Chunlan and walked out, looking around the entire embroidery workshop, but she didn't see the man Chunlan said.
Chunlan was also a little panicked, regretting that she didn't ask clearly, so she took so much money from others.
Lan Yue thought about it carefully, in addition to the main person in the embroidery workshop, there were no men on weekdays, and there were guards at the gate.
Thinking of this, she and Chunlan arrived at the door, but the guards were very polite.
Lan Yue said to Chunlan, "Tell me what that person looks like." ”
After Chunlan finished descripting, the guard hesitated, "The two girls either go back first, and I will definitely convey it when I see him." ”
At dusk, the guard asked someone to bring a message to Lan Yue and Chunlan, and when they came to the second gate, Bai Hong was already waiting.
As soon as she saw Bai Hong, Lan Yue stuffed the money bag back into his hand and said coldly: "Chunlan has been thinking about it for a long time, but I don't know when I met you, although she is short of money, but she won't ask for money from strange men, don't look for her in the future!" ”
After Lan Yue finished speaking, she dragged Chunlan, who was reluctant to look at the money bag, into the Hanging Flower Gate, leaving Bai Hong, who was depressed, standing in place.
Mid-Autumn Festival, the embroidery workshop has a day off, the sky is high and the clouds are light in the golden autumn, and the entire Zilang capital is shrouded in a fragrant osmanthus flower.
Embroidery girls have gone out together, or to the surrounding scenery, or to the street market to play.
Lan Yue and Chunlan also got up very early, seeing that others were going out one after another, Chunlan sighed, moved a stool to the osmanthus tree to continue to catch up.
Blue Moon rarely has a day of leisure, sitting next to Chunlan comfortably, looking at the embroidery in her hand for a while, looking at the fiery pomegranate and golden osmanthus in the courtyard in a daze, and the others went out, but Blue Moon enjoyed the silence very much.
As the day approaches, people who had been out for a day gradually return, and the embroidery workshop resumes its usual liveliness.
When it was about to get dark, there was a burst of laughter from the front yard, and then someone rushed to tell each other, "Everyone come out quickly, tonight we are going to enjoy the moon and watch the show!" ”
Lan Yue rushed to the front yard with everyone, only to see that there were several people in the atrium who looked like men were busy, arranging tea tables, all kinds of refreshments had been set up, a small table was set up in front of the tea table, and some artists were putting on makeup and preparing next to them.
Chunlan's face finally showed a smile after many days, and she walked through the crowd excitedly.
Lan Yue had never been very interested in these bustles, and it didn't take long for her to sneak back to the backyard to hide from Qingjing.
She lay on the bed, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo in the front yard, and the laughter that came from time to time.
Lan Yue thought of the Yanyun Palace, which was thousands of miles away, and it must have been so lively at this time, but would the queen mother miss herself even more in this noise!
She rolled over and turned inside, her pillow wet with tears......
"Satsuki!" Suddenly, a gentle woman's voice called her, it was Lin Jiaoxi! Lan Yue hurriedly wiped her tears and got up.
Lin Jiaoxi looked at her slightly reddened eyes, didn't ask more, and said in a soft tone: "Xiaoyue, you come with me." ”
Lan Yue followed Lin Jiaoxi around for a long time, and came to a remote corner gate of the embroidery workshop, Lin Jiaoxi handed her the lantern in his hand, and said with a smile: "I will always be in this room next to me tonight, you can go out of the corner door by yourself." ”
Lan Yue pushed open the corner door with some trepidation, and by the light of the lantern, she saw a carriage parked outside the door, and a tall figure came into view.
With the sound of the door opening, the man slowly turned around......
Her heart skipped a beat, it was actually Lord Lin! If you look closely, there is still a person leading a horse waiting in the distance, and the figure should be his guard Qingshuang.
"Lord Lin!" Lan Yue hurriedly saluted, and Lord Lin smiled slightly, "Did it scare you?" ”
"I didn't ...... No! Lan Yue was a little unfavorable when she spoke, "I don't know...... Lord Lin has something to do here, you want to find me here. ”
"Why did you return the money to Bai Hong?" Lord Lin looked at Lan Yue with a smile and asked bluntly.
Lan Yue was slightly stunned, frowned, and said, "I thought it was ......"
"Do you think Bai Hong has any plans?" Lord Lin pursed his lips and smiled, "You know how aggrieved Bai Hong is!" ”
"I thanked Lord Lin on behalf of Chunlan, it's always bad to accept money from people casually, and you should be punished for making mistakes!"
Lord Lin smiled and nodded, "That's what you said, or I'm not thinking about it." ”
"Lord Lin is just going to talk about this? If nothing else, then I'm ...... Go back first. Blue Moon said in a low voice.
Lord Lin was silent for a moment, looked at Lan Yue's eyes and said, "You just cried?" Because of homesickness? ”
