The rainy season is very boring, and the rainy days make the house damp and inconvenient to go out.

At first, I was a little interested in appreciating the rain, but it has been raining so intermittently every day for half a month. The mood is not so beautiful.

Especially thinking of that day, he asked Lu Renjia to lead the painters to start preparing to paint the murals, but the next day they were unfavorable and were hindered by the weather. I don't know when I'll be able to finish it. There really is no other way but to wait.

Mingzhu ordered the charcoal powder to be packed in a fine linen bag and spread half a foot thick in the nursery room to prevent moisture. Then spread thick cotton pads and antelope cashmere, which ensured Gillian Bao's activity space.

The environment here is probably the most comfortable in the whole house, so families always like to gather here. At this moment, Mingzhu, Mrs. Tai and Mama Li are fighting the landlord. Si Cha Siwei is playing with Gillian and Bao. Si Hai Si Jin is playing a lot.

Fortunately, the three rooms were opened into one, and there were no two pieces of furniture. A dozen more people won't feel compact.

"Your Highness, Hailan asks to see you."

"Please."

After Hailan saw the ceremony, Mingzhu put down the leaf card in her hand, looked up and smiled: "Hasn't my aunt been busy making up for Linlang recently?" Is there a result? ”

Hai Lan had a slight headache, but she said something in front of her family: "Linlang's temperament is good, but it's too clumsy." On the contrary, Xiaofu can draw inferences from each other every time, and he is talented and intelligent. Fortunately, she went with her, otherwise, Linlang might not survive three episodes. ”

Mingzhu actually knew this for a long time, if Linlang was smart, he should have taken the initiative to show his heart to his master. She won't be in such an embarrassing situation in the house now. "Everyone has their own fate, since she has chosen this path, in the end, whether she gets what she wants, or the bamboo basket to draw water, it is all up to her. You're here now, but what's the matter? ”

Knowing Mingzhu's attitude, Hailan had a bottom in her heart. It probably means that you have taught everything that should be taught, and you don't have to be more serious about what you learn in the end. Skipping it here, Hai Lan said another happy thing: "Princess Qiyu, the Han Shang Palace in Si Zhenfang is officially out of the palace today." When the slave maid was in the palace, she had a very good relationship with her, so I wanted to ask her to live with me, but I don't know if it is possible? ”

Mingzhu was also happy when he heard the news. Han Shanggong is now only more than thirty years old, and the craftsmanship of making utensils has far surpassed the masters of the major silver buildings. For her, Mingzhu admired her very much: "Where do you need to come and ask me for instructions on such a trivial matter?" You go first to help Han Shanggong settle down, and if you need anything, you can withdraw it. When I'm settled, I'll let her come looking for me. It's all about making you all happy. Go ahead! ”

After Hailan went out, he felt that playing cards was not interesting. I've been playing this for a few days, and I'm tired of it.

Looking out through the crystal window, there was still a light rain and a gloomy sky. Mingzhu put her hands on her cheeks: "Grandmother, when do you say this rain will stop?" I'm sick of it. ”

Mrs. Tai was smiling and talking to Mama Li at this time, and after listening to Mingzhu's complaint, she said: "The reason why you are annoyed is not because of the rain, but because you are idle." Just now, Mama Li also told me that in the first two years of drought, Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing reduced the rent to no one in order to be considerate of the tenant farmers. It is rare that the rain is so abundant this spring, and every family in Zhuangzi is full of joy these days. This year is sure to be a bumper year for the metropolis. Do you still feel bored? ”

Mingzhu was shocked when she heard this: "The drought in the first two years?!" ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded: "Yes, so this spring's rain should be cherished more." How can you be annoyed? ”

Mingzhu didn't pay attention to this, and secretly thought to herself, "What is it? Is it two years of drought and one year of locusts, or three years of drought and one year of locusts?" Mingzhu desperately thought about what she heard in the village when she was a child, but she couldn't remember it really. Then he asked Mrs. Tai: "Have there been many droughts in the past two years?" How come I never see any homeless people or anything like that? ”

Mrs. Tai smiled: "Where is it so serious?" In most places, production has only been reduced, and only a few grains have not been harvested. These places are either tax-free or have opened warehouses locally. Although the peasants suffered a lot, they were not always displaced. ”

Mingzhu nodded and smiled, looking taught: "In this case, then I don't hate the rain." This year is sure to be a bumper harvest. That is to say, but a trace of gloom in my heart can not be removed.

Forget it, don't think about it first, Mingzhu gave up her seat to Si Jin and asked her to accompany Mrs. Tai to fight the landlord for herself. Then I went to tease the baby with Si Cha Siwei.

Sure enough, the baby's laughter is a panacea for heart disease. In a few moments, Mingzhu was healed to the joyful laughter of the children.

After a while, Hai Lan led Han Shanggong to come: "Slave maid see Her Royal Highness Princess Mingzhu." ”

"Hurry up, please." Mingzhu glanced at Han Shanggong's dignified and decent appearance, and was very satisfied: "Has Han Shanggong settled down?" The environment outside my palace is naturally not as good as the environment in the palace, if there is any inconvenience, I hope that Han Shanggong will not be disappointed. ”

Han Shanggong seemed to be a little flattered, but he quickly pressed it down, and said dignified and decent: "Since the slave maid has left the palace, it is no longer a Shang Palace." If Your Highness doesn't mind, you can call me Huifang in the future. It's easy to get out of the palace, so naturally it's all good, and if you can get the blue eyes of His Royal Highness, there's nothing wrong with it. ”

Hearing Han Shanggong's kind words, Mingzhu didn't care much.

This is probably a half-truth. The palace can put such a talented and in the prime of the palace, and the palace is still out of the palace because the queen mother personally spoke. Otherwise, she would at least have to wait until the time when old age and infirmity are worthless. So of course, there is joy and affection, but after all, I am not very familiar with it, and I can only be cautious and polite.

"Then I'll call you Aunt Huifang, it's kinder."

Huifang hurriedly bent down and saluted: "Absolutely not, how can the slave and maid He De be His Royal Highness's aunt?" ”

Mingzhu smiled: "This is also compared to Aunt Hailan, you are also an elder I admire very much." Aunt Huifang, when you were young, you were sent to the palace because of your family's poverty, and you studied your skills by yourself, and walked to the position of Shanggong step by step. This is a height that is difficult for women in the world to reach. The most important thing is that you can still have the courage to seize the opportunity to retreat bravely at the peak. If women can be like Aunt Huifang, where else are there men in this world? ”

It was the first time Huifang had heard such a straightforward compliment in person, especially since this compliment came from the mouth of the most noble princess of the dynasty. couldn't control his expression for a while, revealing the shyness of his little daughter's family.

Mingzhu thought that in the end, he was a person who was dedicated to studying his skills, even if he had undergone some polishing in the harem, he still did not distort his temperament.
