One hundred and eleventh: Excerpts

Her hair was spread out, and a silver hairpin was simply fixed behind her head, but even so, her hair still floated down, some floated on the water, some were wet and clinging to Yao Chuxi's skin, her face and neck, as well as her collarbone and chest, were full of green silk.

On the side of the falling rain and snow, he raised his master's arm one by one, and wiped it slightly hard with a handkerchief.

Although he hadn't washed it for a few days, Yao Chuxi didn't have anything dirty on his body, as if he didn't sweat normally.

Serving such a master is also a blessing for a few of them who are palace people.

Worried that the master slipped in the bath barrel, Han Shanggong and Luo Yu tried to put non-slip pebbles at the bottom of the bath barrel, of course, this was just for them to think about, and there was no way to get it themselves, so they reported to the chief of the inner palace supervisor, and the chief manager made such a bath barrel within four days and sent it to Yingxue Pavilion for Yao Meiren to bathe.

It hurts to step on the pebbles barefoot, so the people of the inner palace supervisor dare not be sloppy, each pebble is carefully polished, as if slightly bulging at the bottom of the bath barrel, but in fact, a large part of the stone body is embedded in the bath barrel, only a smooth part is exposed, and one is placed at a distance of every other step, which can be both non-slip and can be used for massage.

Yao Chuxi soaked in hot water for a long time, feeling that every pore of his body was opened, and he gulped down the water on his skin.

It is not so convenient to take a bath after pregnancy, so Yao Chuxi especially cherishes every opportunity to take a bath.

In addition to the plum blossoms, there were also some herbs in the bath bucket, Yao Chuxi picked one up and smelled it, there was no smell of herbs, but there was a faint grass fragrance, and I didn't smell the aroma that I couldn't feel.

Soaking in this bucket, closing your eyes is like coming to the grassland, the surroundings are hot, full of fresh smells, take a deep breath and only feel that the nasal cavity is dredged.

It wasn't until the second bucket of water was no longer hot that Yao Chuxi got up from the bucket.

Han Shanggong said that it is easy to get dizzy after soaking for a long time, if it weren't for her two words, I am afraid that Yao Chuxi would still be soaking in it.

After taking a bath, Yao Chuxi used two more snacks and drank half a cup of milk, and then went to bed.

When I woke up, it was still dark, the lantern outside had already been extinguished, the wind was relatively strong, blowing one after another, and the lantern knocked against the wall from time to time.

Yao Chuxi turned over, opened his eyes slightly, stretched out his hand and rubbed it, calling the people outside, "Falling snow?" ”

Luoxue opened the door in three or two steps and came in, with clothes still draped on her shoulders, "Little master, are you awake?" ”

Yao Chuxi agreed sullenly, and slowly sat up holding Luoxue's hand, "It's so noisy outside that I can't sleep, what's the sound?" ”

After hearing this, Luoxue looked outside, and didn't see anything wrong, so she put on her clothes and went out to take a look, and then hurried back, "It's cold tonight, the wind is blowing outside, and the lanterns are swinging back and forth." ”

"Ming'er, let Jiang Liu take someone down the lantern."

"How's that going to work? It's hard if you bump into it. Luoxue said, "The slave maid just went down to the house to wake up Jiang Liu, at this time he is dressing, and he will take down the lantern in a while, you go to sleep first, and then go back when it is dawn." ”

"This is not appropriate, Jiang Liu is sleeping soundly, you woke him up."

Luoxue smiled hesitantly, "Don't worry, he doesn't lack sleep, go back and fall asleep with a pillow." ”

The sound of the lantern being removed sounded outside, and after a while, the silence returned, and the snow receded, leaving only Yao Chuxi alone in the house.

The wind was really strong, and Yao Chuxi could feel it even though he was in the house.

It's not that the wind blows directly into the house, but the sound of the lantern is so loud, and from time to time there will be two wind sounds, which makes Yao Chuxi a little scared.

She is usually not afraid of the dark, nor is she afraid of any ghosts and gods, but at this moment, she can't help but think about it, and she is the only one left, so the fear of the idea in her heart is infinitely released.

She thought about summoning the falling snow in again, but she had just said that she could, and that she would sleep in the snow late at night, so she couldn't do anything like that.

Turning over and rushing to the position against the wall, Yao Chuxi noticed the pillow that the emperor usually pillowed.

She held the pillow in her arms, as if lying next to the emperor, at this moment she imagined that the pillow was the emperor's arm, as if she heard the emperor's steady breathing, and at the moment when she immediately fell asleep, she seemed to be really lying next to the emperor.

When he got up in the morning, Yao Chuxi was greedy and slept a little longer, so Jiang Liuchuan had a late breakfast.

"Yo, why are you late today, Yao Meiren is up late, right?" Yuan Shaoyu saw that Jiang Liu was coming, so he hurriedly came out and asked.

Jiang Liu smiled and replied, "Isn't it?" I don't know what the little master wants to use, so I have to wait until she wakes up and ask, right? ”

"Then what does Yao Meiren want to use?"

"The little master said that he wanted to eat a bowl of noodles, and then asked for a dried scallop with hydrangea, and the rest should be watched by you."

Yuan Shaoyu had already guessed these things.

This Yao beauty is different from the others in the harem, she has to eat the expensive ingredients that are difficult to make, while Yao Meiren only eats the usual dishes, and the soup and noodles are chaotic almost once a day, and if you don't eat it, you will think about it, and she doesn't put on a show at all.

It's no wonder that the emperor favors him, and even Yuan Shaoyu has a little affection for this Yao beauty.

Of course, this good feeling is different from the feelings between men and women, just a simple appreciation of Yao Meiren's temperament. When you are good, you don't fight, you don't rob, you don't bully others, and when you have a bad time, you don't get discouraged or complain, you just want to be good.

The noodle soup is boiled in bone broth, the noodles are gluten and refreshing, and after being cooked in boiling water, they are cooked in cold water, and the taste is much stronger than cold water.

When I returned to Yingxue Pavilion, the master had already gotten up, and today I wore a silk double-nest cloud goose skirt, a snow-white material embroidered with some dark flower patterns with silver-white light, and two wild geese hovering in the clouds were embroidered on the back, which looked atmospheric and gentle.

Yao Chuxi likes this body very much, it is more homely, but it is also a town living scene, if there is something to wear out, it will look good.

"How did you sleep last night?" Luoyu picked the noodles into the bowl and brought them to the master, "I heard Luoxue say that the lantern disturbed you to sleep?" ”

"It's not that serious." Yao Chuxi picked up the chopsticks: "It's just that the wind was too strong last night." ”

"It's almost spring now, it's inevitable that the wind will be stronger, you can go out and protect yourself, the strange wind in spring is easy to dry your face!"

Yao Chuxi nodded, paused and laughed.

"What do you remember, little master?"

"I remember when I was at home in the past, I was greedy for fun in the spring, and I went out to fly kites with the girls at home, and when I came back, my face was blown out by the cold wind several times, and when I washed my face, I realized that it hurt, and my father told me several times."

Yao Chuxi didn't say the rest.

At that time, her mother said a few words to her, and then she looked at her so hard that she would not let her out of the house, worried that she would hurt her face again.

My father said that the most important thing for a woman is her face, if your face is not good-looking, no one will care about your temperament and inner life, and no one will pay attention to whether you have read a book or not, and know a few words.

These words are true, expressing the warmth and coldness of the world and the sadness of women.

The former sentence can only be used to laugh, and the latter sentence can only be hidden in Yao Chuxi's heart.

Yao Chuxi has rarely thought of his father after entering the palace for so long, most of the people he mentions are his mother, and most of the things he thinks about when he is homesick are his mother.

It may have something to do with the teachings from childhood. Most of what his father taught was to make Yao Chuxi sensible and reasonable, pay attention to his face and figure, and enter the palace to serve the emperor in the future and fight for the Yao family. And her mother only wants her to be happy, and although she is allowed to go out to play under the premise of safety, as for entering the palace to serve the emperor, this is something that her mother has never thought about and never dared to think.

The father's order cannot be disobeyed, even if the mother treats her well, the words of the father cannot be changed, and even the mother cannot say that the father cannot be moved.

The official position of the Yao family is not big, and the highest official position in the ancestors is the fourth grade, and then the generation declines from generation to generation, and now even the palace cannot be entered, so he can only serve in the local area.

In Yao Chuxi's father's generation, he can barely support a seven-rank official position, but if Yao Chuxi doesn't exert his strength here, when his father is old and resigns, won't the Yao family completely decline? I don't even have a son, and I won't be able to break it, but this official title passed down from my ancestors can't just become a thing of the past, right?

So Yao Chuxi has never blamed her father, although she once didn't want to enter the palace so much, she has that responsibility to help the Yao family.

While breakfast was being eaten here, Ji Linghai, the head of the back garden, came to Yingxue Pavilion, and asked Han Shanggong to come in and send Zhang Yu'an a fold.

"Whose is this?" Yao Chuxi was stunned for a moment when he saw the fold, and then took it apart.

Han Shanggong had already heard Ji Linghai say the origin of this excerpt, she couldn't make the decision not to let the master know, so she had to hand the excerpt to the master, and the master would make the decision.

"The Yao family?" Yao Chuxi's eyes widened after opening the fold, "When did you send it?" ”

"Let's read it first." Han Shanggong didn't know who sent the fold, and he didn't know what was written on the fold, but whether it was good or bad, Yao Chuxi was her master, and if she hid this kind of thing, it would not be too much to be pulled out and killed.

At this moment, Yao Chuxi was holding the fold with both hands, her fingertips couldn't stop trembling, Han Shanggong was worried about her, and immediately took the fold.

"This..."

Luo Yu was a little curious, and they all came over to take a look, but Han Shanggong just had a cold face.

"Please mourn the little Lord."

Yao Chuxi didn't make a sound, tears filled her eyes, and in the blink of an eye, a teardrop slipped down and dripped down the bridge of her tall nose onto her shirt.

"When did my grandmother get such a disease? Why didn't I know before I entered the palace? Yao Chuxi said this as if she was asking someone else, but in fact she was talking to herself.

The excerpt says that her grandmother was suffering from illness, which was foreshadowed long before she entered the palace.

The remaining glory of the Yao family, except for her father, most of the rest is left by her grandmother, her grandfather went early, and the friends who were close to her grandfather took pity on her grandmother, so they tried to help everything they could.

But it was precisely because her grandmother went early that her father was bullied when he was a child.
