On the day of the Duanyang Festival, Beijing is very lively.

The night before, Uncle Sun instructed An Huajin to get up an hour earlier than every day, so that she must come back by picking mugwort grass with her own hands to bathe and ward off evil spirits. To pick artemisia orchid grass, you should pick it with dew before the sun rises.

An Huajin was very obedient, went to bed early the night before, and got up an hour early on the second day.

She practiced her sword for a while, and Uncle Sun came over to remind her, and An Huajin went to the garden behind.

The garden of An's old house has always been left to grow wildly, and there are many large fields of wild artemisia grass, which are covered with dew in the morning mist.

The people of the entire Anjia old house also got up and gathered in the garden, and it was very lively in the early morning.

Uncle Sun happily said to An Huajin while picking mugwort leaf orchid grass, "Little county lord, our garden, not carefully taken care of, is not carefully taken care of, on the day of the Duanyang Festival, it is a custom to pick mugwort leaf orchid grass for bathing, and other mansions in Beijing have to go to the mountains outside the city to pick before the sun comes out early in the morning, our house does not need to be used, and we can pick it at home." ”

An Huajin nodded, "It's good not to toss." ”

"Yesterday, when the seventh prince left, the old slave told him that he should come earlier, and there was no need for people to run up the mountain to pick this thing."

An Huajin's subordinates paused, "Tell him about this kind of trivial matter?" You're too by him, too. ”

Uncle Sun smiled, "Little county lord, you don't understand, making a person think that you are good to him is reflected in many small things." Let's make Gu Qigongzi feel that our home is also his home, and he can stay at ease. ”

An Huajin smiled, "He's already very comfortable." ”

Now Gu Qingyan spends a lot more time in the Anjia old house than in the Gu family, and there is no need for the doorman to report when he comes, he only says hello when he leaves, he can come when he wants to, and he can leave when he wants. Whatever you want to eat, the kitchen will make it, and Uncle Sun will treat him with all his heart, but he really does his best not to be an outsider.

"The Seventh Prince is here!" A little guy had sharp eyes and said happily.

An Huajin turned his head, and saw Gu Qingyan holding the morning dew, walking leisurely, and walking slowly. The morning mist seemed to cover him with a hazy veil, and no matter how you look at it, it is picturesque.

She muttered quietly, "Why don't you get tired of looking at this man?" ”

"What did you say, little county lord?" Uncle Sun didn't hear clearly, thinking that An Huajin was talking to him.

"Didn't say anything." An Huajin turned his head and continued to pick wormwood grass.

An Ping heard it clearly on the sidelines, urged his heart to rise, and told Uncle Sun directly, "The little county lord said that Gu Qigongzi made her never get tired of watching it." ”

Uncle Sun was stunned for a moment, and laughed, "Gu Qigongzi is good-looking, good-looking, the old slave has lived for most of his life, and he has never seen such a good-looking person." Our old prince has a good eye, and he made a marriage contract to the little county lord early. ”

An Huajin turned his head and glared at An Ping, "Xianbei, are your ears good?" ”

An Ping smiled at her, "My ears are really good. ”

Anhua Jin choked.

Anping was used by Zhang Zaifu to suppress and threaten before, the whole person was quiet and quiet, often hung his head, and his temperament looked weak and dull, but now he got rid of Zhang Zaifu, got revenge, became an family, and was infected by the atmosphere of the An family's old house, and the whole person became lively and new.

Although the emperor confiscated him into the slave status of the An family, An Huajin did not treat him as a slave, and the old house of the An family called him "Ping Gongzi", except for the occasional An Huajin who wanted to eat the dishes he cooked, the rest of the time, in addition to reading is to practice martial arts, and was occasionally taken by Uncle Sun to contact the account book to learn to manage the accounts.

An Huajin plans to reuse Anping in the future, so he can't just be a cook.

Gu Qingyan came to the front after a short time, and the servants of the An family's old mansion greeted each other, saying "Gu Qigongzi is good", everyone smiled, and they were very happy and happy.

Gu Qingyan glanced at it, there were only a dozen people in the An family, but every time he came, the huge mansion seemed to be full of vitality. However, there are hundreds of people in the Gu family, even if today is the Duanyang Festival, it is not so lively, and the masters of each room in the family will not go to the city to pick wormwood grass with their own hands, and each room will send one or two servants out, as if dealing with customs.

He saw that An Huajin had already picked half a basket, squatted down, and said to her, "I thought I came early enough, and I didn't want you to get up earlier." ”

An Huajin said "um", "I slept early yesterday." ”

Uncle Sun handed Gu Qingyan an empty blue seed, "Seventh son, this wormwood grass still has to be picked by hand." The words fell, and he said, "I also want to weave a colorful bracelet to ward off evil spirits, our little county lord is ingenious, and the woven bracelet is very good-looking." ”

Only then did Gu Qingyan find that the servants of the An family's old mansion each had a colorful bracelet on their hands, and An Huajin also wore one, which was very beautiful, he paused and asked, "Where is my bracelet?" ”

"In the room, I'll give it to you later."

Gu Qingyan bowed his head, next to An Huajin, joined everyone's team, and picked Aiye orchid grass together. He had never done such a job before, and for a while he felt very fresh.

In a short time, everyone had taken enough of what they had used and went to do other work, and the man who was on duty in the kitchen went to the kitchen, and the man who cleaned the yard went back to clean the yard, and the gatekeeper went to see the door.

Gu Qingyan came late, his movements were slow, and he didn't pick much, so An Huajin poured half of his basket to him, stood up, "Okay, let's go." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded with a smile and stood up.

Before the sun came out, the kitchen had already boiled hot water for everyone to bathe in the freshly picked wormwood grass.

An Huajin returned to his Fenghong Garden, handed the colorful bracelet that had been braided for him a long time ago to Gu Qingyan, and took out a box containing a brand new set of ready-to-wear clothes and stuffed it to him, "What you wear every day is either ink or black or cyan, can't you change the color?" This dress is for you, wear today. ”

Gu Qingyan was stunned for a moment, "For me?" ”

Give him clothes?

"Well, for you." An Huajin sat down to drink tea.

Gu Qingyan stood still and didn't move, her eyes staring at her for a moment, "You bought it?" Or did you make it for me yourself? ”

Anhua Jin didn't raise his head, "I bought it." ”

Gu Qingyan seemed to be a little disappointed, but he was still very happy, "Thank you." ”

An Huajin waved his hand, "Go to the courtyard where you are resting, Uncle Sun will have someone send hot water over in a while, and you will change your bath." ”

Gu Qingyan nodded, hugged his clothes and carried the basket, walked out of Fenghong Garden, and went to the courtyard where he often rested.

Sure enough, not long after, Uncle Sun brought someone to bring hot water, helped Gu Qingyan pour the newly picked wormwood grass into the bath bucket, and urged him to take a bath quickly.

Gu Qingyan nodded, opened the box, held the new clothes and looked at it again, this is a lake blue agarwood brocade gown, agarwood brocade is hard to find, only produced in Qinling, because the amount is very small, there are only one or two batches every year, because the silkworms raised are special, the production process is special, and because only one person in each generation of the Qinling Mei family knows this kind of silkworm production process, so it almost does not flow out of the outside world.

Because of scarcity, they did not pay tribute to the palace, not even in the palace. Once Concubine Shu wanted a piece of cloth and begged Your Majesty, Your Majesty sent someone to ask the Mei family in Qinling, but was refuted by the Mei family, saying that the concubine was not a queen and was not worthy of wearing agarwood brocade, which made Concubine Shu angry half to death. Even His Majesty was a little annoyed, but he couldn't force the unborn Jianghu Mei family for a noble concubine, which caused dissatisfaction among the Jianghu forces, so he could only stop.

Unexpectedly, he has now received such an agarwood brocade ready-to-wear garment, and it fits his size very well.

Where can you buy such clothes?

Uncle Sun urged twice, but he didn't see Gu Qingyan answer, he came out and took a look, and immediately smiled, "Since I heard that it is almost the Duanyang Festival, the seventh prince wants to take the little county lord out to play, and the little county lord asked the old slave to find this cloth, and when he has nothing to do, he made this dress for you." ”

"She made it herself?" Gu Qingyan raised his head sharply.

"Yes, I made it with my own hands, and the old slave saw it with my own eyes." Sun Bo wondered, "The little county lord gave you the clothes, didn't he tell you?" ”

"Nope." Gu Qingyan's voice lowered, "She said she bought it." ”

Sun Bo suddenly stopped, "Hey, my little county lord is really, he even lied to you?" It's not something to buy, and you can't buy something like that. Qin Lingmei's family heard that the little county lord had entered Beijing and went on a blind date with you, so they sent two pieces of cloth to the little county lord, one was azure and the other was lake blue, which was the one in your hand. The little princess only had time to catch up with the day of the flower feast, naturally there was no time to prepare, such a good material, the old slave did not dare to find someone to start the work privately, fortunately, the eldest princess cleaned up for the little princess that day, and sent a lot of clothes, and then the two horses were shelved, a few days ago the little county lord let the old slave turn out, said that the two pieces of cloth are for you to make clothes, first make this lake blue, she really did her own hands, from cutting to stitch and thread sewing, no fake hands her. ”

Gu Qingyan carefully touched the fine line, "It turns out that she can also make clothes." ”

Uncle Sun said proudly, "The little county lord will be, it is said that I learned it in the Cui family, Mrs. Cui is good at needlework, and after so many years of teaching, she has passed on all the little county lords." ”

Gu Qingyan couldn't say what mood he was in for a while, he was happy, but there were more emotions than joy, surging straight to his heart like a tide.

After a long while, he whispered, "Why is she so nice?" ”

Uncle Sun was very happy, "My little county lord is very good, as long as she learns, she will learn everything." The old prince often said that he was smarter than the eldest son and the second son, although he was a daughter, how many men in the world were inferior to her. ”

Gu Qingyan suppressed all her emotions and smiled slightly, "Yes." ”

"Take a shower, the water will be cold in a while." Uncle Sun stopped talking.

Gu Qingyan nodded, and entered the bathroom with his new clothes.
