Chapter 1 Zhao Zhengchun visited her
In the previous chapter, it was said that Xiao Yuan was a concubine on the condition that Shen Qishan wanted to rescue Brother Adi.
She stayed at home all day long, or went around asking for news, and the pain in her heart was self-evident.
Let's say that on this day, when it was still Yin, she woke up, tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, and heard the street with a cart running over the bluestone road, and it was the sound of collecting night incense (collecting dung).
Xiao Yuan simply got up in her clothes, picked up the toilet and went downstairs carefully with her skirt, pulled the wooden latch and opened the door halfway, it rained all night, the dawn sky was fresh and cold, and there was a smell in the air.
She handed the toilet to the servant, and went into the house to bring another one, and the servant was a white-skinned young man, who quickly picked it up and poured it into the vat, and then returned it to her, and smiled, but could not speak, and was naturally mute.
Xiao Yuan stood in front of the door for a while, and saw the prostitute who came back at night riding in a sedan chair, with a round arm outside the sedan window, hanging weakly.
The sedan chair disappeared into the smoke at the end of the street, and another four people carried the official sedan chair and hurried over, rushing to the court.
Xiao Yuan picked up the toilet and went into the courtyard to wash it, took the bronze mirror to take pictures, her face was a little haggard, she looked at the sky early, went to the stove room to measure the rice and cook porridge, and threw a handful of red-skinned dates. Add firewood to heat a pot of water, pour it into the wooden basin, close the stove door to undress and take a bath, take out the wooden lotion she bought in Yangzhou to shampoo, and flow down the hair into her eyes, she picked up the water to clear her eyes, and somehow the tears flowed down, and she couldn't stop dripping. It wasn't until the stove was filled with the sweet scent of dates that she wiped her face clean, and the water was so cold that her skin had goosebumps. I changed my clothes and tucked my hair back and waited for the water to dry.
I chose a toon, beat four eggs, fried a plate of toon eggs with oil and salt, and then took out a sour radish, a few long cowpeas, and a piece of tender ginger from the altar with chopsticks, and chopped a plate.
Only then did she open the stove door, the sky was clear, Yan Dixia was practicing swords, she watched for a while, gave him a basin of washing water, heard Sister Rong crying upstairs, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and ran into the hall to rub the floor on the ground.
"Crybaby!" Yan Indixia's sword was dyed with a ray of sunlight and sparkled.
After breakfast, Xiao Yuan touched his hair and feet dry, and saved Hangzhou at will, and suddenly heard someone knocking on the door with cymbals, Zhao Bo was not there, Yan Indixia went to ask the door, and returned with a few words, saying that it was an official surnamed Zhao Zhengchun who came to see Xiao Niangzi.
Xiao Yuan was startled, I don't know how he would come to the door, but he didn't have time to think about it, and hurriedly greeted the door, just when he saw Zhao Zhengchun's shoes with a white background and black face stepping into the threshold, he was wearing an official hat, wearing a scarlet official robe, and a jade belt around his waist.
Xiao Kite wanted to kneel down to salute, he smiled and waved his hand, but he didn't have to be restrained, he had already let him into the hall as he spoke, Xiao Kite poured him tea and water, Yan Indixia led Sister Rong to avoid it from a distance.
Zhao Zhengchun sat on the chair, ate tea with a lamp, and secretly looked around, very old two-story building, the biggest advantage is facing the street, the worst yard is very narrow, it seems that the gate is attached to the eaves of the hall, the sunlight does not come in, the hall is not lit, the light is very dark, the surroundings are dim, Xiao Yuan sits in front of a window, like a vague silhouette.
"Don't you light the lights?" He couldn't help but smile and remind, watching her jump up in surprise, thinking that she was a gentle person on the surface, and not fearful.
The candle flame "hissed" and lit up, Zhao Zhengchun watched her go out, came in and brought a plate of pine nut walnut cake, and put it in front of him with tea.
