Chapter 6: Today's Good Banquet
"Madam, the fifth lady has arrived." The green dress led her into the hall.
In the hall, there were only the princess and the eldest lady Mingrou, and the four maids were all standing aside with plates in their hands.
The princess smiled gently: "Chu'er came to sit next to me." Although she is no longer a young girl, the years have not diminished her beauty, but have added to the charm. Ming Chu sat down, and a faint fragrance of fat pink flowers came, and she felt a little uncomfortable, she was even more unfamiliar with her than her father.
Mingrou smiled: "Fifth sister, these dishes are my favorite dishes on weekdays, and I think you love to eat them too."
Ming Chu nodded and smiled: "It looks delicious." โ
Mingrou winked playfully: "Mother, I'm right." The fifth sister must love to eat. The princess glanced at Mingrou affectionately.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the eldest sister Mingrou and Jiang Zhenyuan were dragon and phoenix fetuses, and the dragon and phoenix were auspicious, so Mingrou was favored since she was a child, and her personality was also quite pampered.
The princess's eyes fell on her face, and she smiled and said, "You are more and more similar to your mother." โ
"She's been away from Ming Chu for a long time." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, his eyes were full of loneliness.
The princess frowned slightly, she shook her head slowly, and the golden flowers on the flying fairy bun also swayed. She said, "Your mother... It's special, I've never seen a woman like that. Her slender phoenix eyes gradually blurred, as if immersed in memories.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he was puzzled, are the housemother and mother very familiar?
"Mother, let the fifth sister eat first, otherwise the food will not taste good when it is cold." Mingrou urged.
"Okay, eat." The princess retracted her thoughts and put vegetables in the bowl at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. "I've been busy taking care of Yuan'er all these years, and I've really neglected you?"
"Is there anyone to take care of the fifth sister now?" Mingrou asked.
"Back to the eldest sister, there is grandma to take care of me, and Yuewu."
The princess took the chopstick's hand and paused: "Yuewu, is it the person given to you by the prince?" โ
"How does the old grandmother take care of people, clumsy. Mother, it's better to give the fifth sister another maid. Mingrou suggested.
The night had just darkened, and the white mist was spreading. The moonlight was clear and cold, like flowing water pouring down to the ground. The moon Wu walked through the verandah, and the figure under the moon was hazy with some ethereal illusions.
"Fifth Miss, I eat a lot, and I'm a little lazy."
"Okay, I got it. Your name is Yunxi, right? โ
The light voice was like a spring tinkling in this silent night, and the moon stopped walking, and the corners of her lips naturally hooked. He knew that the beginning of tomorrow would soon appear.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, she talked and laughed with this maid called Yunxi all the way, and when she turned the red wall, she saw Yuewu leaning on the verandah, looking at her and smiling.
Ming Chu was surprised: "Yuewu, why are you here." โ
"Yuewu is afraid that Miss is afraid to walk alone at night."
"I was originally scared, but fortunately I had Yunxi with me." At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he pushed Yun Xi to the front, "Yun Xi was originally the maid of the main mother, and the main mother said that the mother was old, so let Yun Xi take care of me." โ
Yun Xi sighed quietly, it must have been that the lady thought she was lazy and unintelligent, so she sent her to follow the fifth miss. I think the quality of life will definitely decline in the future, but fortunately, Miss Fifth is a good master, talking and laughing with her all the way, there is no Miss shelf.
Yun Xi's chubby face squeezed out a self-soothing smile.
In the hazy moonlight, Ruohua Pavilion was quiet, and Duofu also shrank in his nest and fell asleep. Occasionally, the sound of dew "ticking" and snoring from the Yunxi room can be heard.
In the dim candlelight, Ming Chu sat behind the bookcase, yawning again and again.
"The fourth time I finished it, and there are still six more times... Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. Slender ยท What's going on? โ
"My Fair Lady, Gentleman." The clear voice floated into his ears, and Ming Chu suddenly remembered: "Yes, yes, yes, it's my fair lady." โ
Yuewu carried a bowl of lotus root porridge and put it on the bookcase: "Miss, this is the lotus root porridge I just boiled." โ
Ming Chu sniffed and said, "It's so fragrant." He picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.
"Drink slowly, be careful of burning."
"Yuewu, why are you so powerful, your porridge is so delicious, and you can recite poems... Ah, memorizing poems, I can't memorize anything. Ming Chu wrinkled. Tomorrow the Master will have to check. โ
Yuewu wiped the residual porridge from the corner of her mouth, "It's not difficult to boil porridge, and it's not difficult to recite poems, as long as Miss is attentive, she can do it." โ
He paced to Ming Chu's side, looked at her words and praised: "Miss's handwriting is vigorous and powerful, quite stylish, but it doesn't look like a girl's handwriting." โ
"My words are imitations of my mother." Ming Chu looked up happily.
"Guan Guan Ju Dove, in the river island. My Fair Lady, Gentleman. Miss knows what that means. โ
"The master said "Guan Ju", and the virtue of the concubine is also. Happy to be a lady with a gentleman. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, he learned from the master's shaking his head, which made Yuewu laugh.
"Guan Ju" also has another simple meaning, Guan Guan and Ming's dove, accompanied by a small island in the river. That bright and beautiful girl is the person that the gentleman admires. Yuewu's face flushed slightly.
"How beautiful is it?"
"Hmm...... It should be on par with Miss. โ
The red candles flickered in front of the window, the figures of one big and one small were reflected in the window, the moonlight spread all over the ground, and the dew wet the buds. The night is deep, and people are not sleeping.
Spring grass grows in the pond, and willows in the garden become songbirds.
The spring breeze is ten miles, and the face is not cold, like a cicada yarn blowing, which is comfortable and cool for a while. The warm spring sun awakens the greenery and vitality, and the willow trees sprout new shoots. In the middle of spring, you can see the willows clinging, swaying in the east wind.
Ming Chu and Ming Juan stood hand in hand in front of the willow tree, Ming Chu stood on tiptoe and couldn't reach the willow leaves, she compared the painting and said: "Fourth sister, when the willow branch hangs down, I will use it to weave a wreath for you, you must look good with it." โ
"Okay, then I'll look forward to the willow branches hanging down soon." Mingwan clasped her hands together and said with a smile.
"Fifth sister, do you know, I heard that the eldest brother also followed his father to fight this time."
"I know, eldest brother, he often goes to the border with his father."
"I think it's really amazing to be like my eldest brother who can win honor for the family."
Jiang Zhenning is the son of the Jiang family, and the first child of the main mother, he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his personality is calm and introverted, and he began to follow his father to fight everywhere at the age of fifteen.
On the west wall of Ruohua Pavilion, wisteria flowers coiled up the trunk of the tree, and the dark green vines intertwined and climbed each other, trying to stretch farther away.
In the gaps between the green leaves, a few small lilac flowers occasionally poke out. Green adorns the red wall, and the wind blows, rustling the leaves, like the wall responding to the wind.
A burst of wind chime-like laughter filled the western wall.
Ming Chu sat on the swing and shouted, "Yunxi, you work harder." Her body swayed high, her red smoky loose dress fluttering in the wind.
