Chapter 2: Childe
In the early spring, the warm sun shines on people, making people feel comfortable all over the body, and sweeping away the fatigue of winter. In the fields, alleys, and alleys, there are more and more busy figures, and there is a new scene of recovery.
In the Dingzhou Weiyuan Marquis's Mansion, men, women and children are even busier, and their faces are festive. As the sun wore on, beads of sweat gradually oozed from each forehead. The entire Hou Mansion was bustling, and the northwest corner of the Hou Mansion was unusually quiet, with only a purple figure flickering in the courtyard, like a light swallow.
This purple figure is none other than Xia Wanhua's personal maid Yufu.
After a while, Yufu, who had stretched her muscles a few times, returned to the house and poked her little head to look inside.
"What time is it?" Xia Wanhua, who was in the tent, heard the voice and asked lazily.
"Back girl, it's time to apply for it now." Yufu answered as she entered the inner room, pulled up the curtain, and helped Xia Wanhua out of bed.
The peach tree in the courtyard just shaded the sunlight on the west side, and the mottled shadows on the window paper made the room a little dark.
Xia Wanhua looked outside, took the clothes and draped them over her shoulders, and muttered to herself: "I always feel sleepy after taking this medicine, and I overslept again this night." ”
Yufu nodded, and cautiously continued: "Mrs. Wuwu also sent Sister Rainbow to inquire about the situation. ”
"Oh?" Xia Wanhua turned around and glanced at Yufu. "Did Rainbow ask anything else?"
"Nope. The maid only said that the girl had made the old mistake again in the past few days, and Sister Rainbow went back. The maid stuffed a silver nude to Sister Rainbow without authorization. After Yufu finished speaking, she glanced at Xia Wanhua, and saw that Xia Wanhua's face was not different, so she was relieved.
Sure enough, the girl is rich.
But she was still a little worried in her heart, afraid that the girl would send her back to her master on a whim. Her master is a hell on earth, how can he compare to this paradise. She has to behave well and be a girl's right-hand man! Fight not to be sent back to hell!
How did Xia Wanhua know what she was thinking, she only felt that Yufu was young after all, only thirteen years old, and she was still a child.
Xia Wanhua thinks about the world before she crossed over, when she was thirteen years old, she would meet with her classmates to hang out on weekends.
Of course, will not go to her house. She was an orphan and lived in a welfare home.
How free it was at that time! There is less homework, too! Crossing into this world, there is no homework, but it is really more restrictive.
Think too much!
Xia Wanhua pulled back her thoughts and felt that she had to let Yufu go through the experience again. The world is not the world it once was. At the age of fifteen, he is an adult. There are a lot of things you don't think about, but that doesn't mean it won't come to you. So it's time for Yufu to grow up.
Xia Wanhua thought of her other maidservant Yuke again, she had been out for so long, and she didn't know how things were going. Yuke is not around, she always feels inconvenient, and the few mouthfuls of rice cooked by the cook alone are unpalatable. If it weren't for the constraints of this world, she would have wanted to be in charge of herself.
She is a person with "status"!
Let's put this thing to rest in the future!
"It's okay to be a little thing. I have already handed over to you the big and small matters I have in the Hou Mansion, and you can handle them as Yuke did when he was there. I have something to do, and I'm often away from the house, so you have to have an idea for yourself. Xia Wanhua said as she put on her clothes. It's already this hour, and the guests who wish Mrs. Birthday should also go, let's go to Taoyuan. ”
"Yes. The maid took the girl's cloak, but there was still some cold wind outside. As she spoke, Yufu neatly took out the newly made lotus-colored gold silk embroidered plum cloak from the cabinet, and put it on Xia Wanhua's shoulders on tiptoe slightly.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, a cold wind mixed with warm sunlight penetrated into the collar. Xia Wanhua couldn't help but pull her cloak, and sighed that her body really couldn't help her, comparable to a delicate flower.
gave birth to a delicate body, but she didn't have the life of that delicate flower. That's what makes me depressed.
Next to Taoyuan is the banquet hall for banquet guests, which is much quieter at the moment, and there are family servants who come and go. Xia Wanhua glanced at it a few times and entered the peach garden.
The peach blossoms in Taoyuan are in full bloom, and many guests are attracted by the beautiful scenery in the morning. But at this time, Xia Wanhua didn't have the heart to appreciate it, and walked around the peach garden casually while thinking about things.
What is the beauty of the paradise tossed by those guests! Yufu is slightly uneven. Are those peach branches holding them in their way? It's all folded! Take a good look at the scene, why are you so owed!
"Girl, there's a man there." Yufu tugged at Xia Wanhua's sleeve and quietly pointed to an old tree.
Under the old tree is a set of stone tables and benches. There was a man lying on the stone table, his broad shoulders covered with peach petals.
Xia Wanhua raised her chin slightly, stared at it, and then slowly walked behind the man.
The man was still lying on the stone table, as if he had not heard anyone coming.
Xia Wanhua walked to the left side of the man again, and only then did she see half of the man's face exposed. The face is pink, like a peach blossom melting into this sea of flowers. But this form looks like a drunken state. I can't see the whole face clearly, but the deep outline reminds Xia Wanhua of "Mo Shangren is like jade, and the son is unparalleled in the world". This man is also worthy of it.
After so many years, I finally saw a beautiful man again. Although the five brothers of the Xu family are all good-looking, they have been watching it for five or six years, and there are always times when they get tired of looking crooked. And this person's appearance is far above the five brothers of the Xu family. It's a rarity!
The breeze caressed slightly, and the fragrance of flowers mixed with the aroma of wine penetrated into Xia Wanhua's nose.
"Is it Dragon Spirit?" Xia Wanhua leaned down slightly and sniffed behind the man.
looks humble and son-like, but smokes the most chilling dragon incense. Interesting. Xia Wanhua became more and more curious, stretched out her index finger and gently hooked the big hand covering her face.
If these eyes were open, what would it look like?
"I should have drunk too much at the banquet." Xia Wanhua said that he untied his cloak and draped it on the man.
At the moment when she put on her cloak, Xia Wanhua carefully looked at the man who was sleeping soundly. The exposed palms are wide and calloused, like the hands of a martial arts practitioner. Wei Yuanhou is a general who controls the male soldiers, and most of the people he comes into contact with are military generals. This man is only in his early twenties, maybe he is the heir of some general. And if you can come to congratulate Mrs. Weiyuanhou on her birthday, and you can enter this paradise at will, it seems that the rank of the military general will be above that of Weiyuanhou.
There are very few families in the Chen Dynasty who can surpass the Xu family.
What an interesting nobleman.
Yufu on the side saw Xia Wanhua give the cloak to others and hurriedly said: "Girl, the sun is gradually setting, let's go back." ”
"Okay." The moment Xia Wanhua turned around, he added: "Remember, you never made me a new cloak this spring." ”
Yufu was stunned for a moment, looked back at the man's golden silk embroidered plum cloak, seemed to understand a little, and hurriedly caught up with Xia Wanhua's footsteps.
"When the day is free, the maid will pick out some new embroidery patterns from Kunze City this year and make a new cloak for the girl. Those embroidery samples were all transmitted to Kunze City from the Western Regions, which were particularly beautiful and exotic. The girl definitely looks better in it. ”
"Okay." Xia Wanhua still replied lightly.
Kunze City, such a familiar name!
I don't know how many times Xia Wanhua has been talking about this place in Xia Wanhua's heart. But every time I think of this place, Xia Wanhua can't stop being sad. It's a good thing to have a good memory, but sometimes it's also a nuisance. Things that I don't want to think about always pop up inadvertently, stimulate the fragile heart, and it's bloody.
Back at the residence, Xia Wanhua didn't have much energy, leaning on the recliner wilted, fiddling with the branches of a bonsai next to her.
A good pot of plants has long been cut to resemble a plucked bald chicken.
Yufu silently moved the other potted plants outside.
It's all money!
