One hundred and twenty-three: Spring rain
"This? What do you mean by that? Yao Chuxi was a little puzzled by Han Shanggong's words.
"You are not the unforgiving woman, if no one provokes you, I am afraid that you will live a quiet life in this life, but today there is a reason for this, so that you can show your edge."
"So?"
"So you only need to be generous, you don't have to be afraid of wolves and tigers, although it is taboo in the palace that women quarrel with each other, but the emperor is a wise man who distinguishes between good and evil, if you blindly tolerate it, you are only afraid that the other party will bully people more and more, so you don't have to be afraid, remember to return the other way to the other side, the emperor will have a scale in his heart, and he will administer justice for you."
If you think about it carefully, this is really the reason.
In the three years since she entered the palace, Yao Chuxi has hardly fought for herself, but Luo Meiren and the others still don't let her go, and it's just a matter of spreading rumors outside, and they actually say those unpleasant things in front of her, so they almost grabbed a handful of melon seeds and watched her make a fool of herself.
But today's play, Yao Chuxi can't say that she is a complete winner, but she really gave Luo Meiren a blow, and next time she will say something more, I'm afraid that she will have to think about it before opening her mouth.
It feels uncomfortable to be subdued in public, and I just hope that Luo Meiren can remember this lesson.
Two days later, Ju Jieyu and Xiao Chongrong came to Yingxue Pavilion, and they also took gifts with them.
"I didn't bring it to my sister on purpose, thinking that you would be bored for a long time, so you might as well pass the time." As he spoke, Xiao Chongrong handed a box to Luoyu.
Luo Yu half-knelt in front of the square table, and cautiously opened the box at the master.
The box is not too big, and when it is opened, there are several bronze medals engraved with different patterns and fonts.
The women in the harem often play this, one is purely for fun, saving nothing to do all day, and the other is to use their brains to not let themselves be idle for a day.
Each bronze medal has its own punishment and fear, and there are not only people in it, but also birds, fish, dogs, and deer. There are also many landscapes, such as bamboo forests, peach trees, and a large area of magnolia flowers.
It's only a bronze medal the size of half a palm, and it's not easy to carve so many things.
This thing was also sent appropriately, and Yao Chuxi was not idle all afternoon, constantly pondering this bronze medal.
In the afternoon, when the emperor came up, he also played with her for a while.
When he went to the concubine's palace, he saw this a lot, but he didn't play with anyone.
"Pan Zhenan came back and said that those new people who entered the palace were just the past few days." was playing lively, and the emperor suddenly mentioned such a sentence.
"What did the emperor and his concubines say about this?" Yao Chuxi spoke, but did not raise his eyes to look at the emperor, but instead dropped a bronze medal engraved with cedar: "It's your turn." ”
"I think you're pregnant now, and I'm afraid that the new ones who have entered the palace will make a lot of noise and disturb your mind."
Yao Chuxi raised his head and smiled, "It's nothing, I think the concubine also entered the palace through selection, and she didn't make any trouble, right?" ”
"You're you, and they're not like you."
The two walked to the flower bed in the courtyard, and Luoyu Luoxia picked up the bronze medal that the master played with the emperor.
The flowers in the flower bed are blooming just right, and the people in the flower room have been carefully serving, and they also specially dialed a small palace person to Yingxue Pavilion.
Jiang Liu arranged a separate house for him to live in, because he was not a person in the courtyard of Yingxue Pavilion, and he was not under the direct management of Yao Chuxi and Ding Zhou Jiang Liu, so he politely called Yao Chuxi a little master, but if he really made a mistake, Yao Chuxi would not be able to punish him.
Just like the people in Yingxue Pavilion who went to Sihuafang, if they made any mistakes, Yao Chuxi had to open his mouth to punish them.
But if it is a crime like being taboo or chewing the root of the tongue, the master is not easy to cover up, but he will be accused of conniving at the palace people to disturb the harem.
Therefore, Han Shanggong and Ding Zhou specially ordered to go down, except for the work assigned to the small palace people in Yingxue Pavilion, the rest of the work was not allowed to interfere, saving some unpleasant words after returning to the Sihua Room, so that others would think that Yingxue Pavilion was the kind of place to oppress outsiders.
Jiang Liu also understood the seriousness of this matter, not only did he not let the eunuch and other eunuchs crowd together in the Chase Shop, but also specially asked people to clean up his separate room, although there were not many things in the house, but fortunately, there was nothing missing, and it was expected that he would not be able to say anything inconsiderate after he left.
Han Shanggong was most annoyed by the fact that a few people from outside came in to help him temporarily, and left after the work was done.
said it was to come in and help, but where is it so simple? Don't you have to be half a master to carry it carefully? If there is something wrong and two sentences are spread, it will have more weight than those empty words outside. Secondly, there are a lot of things in Yingxue Pavilion, but no matter how much it is, it only revolves around Yao Chuxi, the master, if anyone suddenly comes in and intervenes, it is inconvenient to do things and speak, don't let people be the most worrying thing.
The little palace man is called Huzi, he is a smart and clever man, but he is a little younger, and he will be fifteen years old this year.
Every time he saw any work in the courtyard, he always wanted to come up and help, but Jiang Liu was always on guard against him, and he was only relieved to let him do the work in the flower bed, and even found someone to help him every time he did something.
This made him feel very uncomfortable.
The emperor is here, and there is no place for a palace person like him who can't go up to the stage.
At this moment, he is sitting in the lower room, although the weather is warm, but the room is stuffy, no one has lived in it all year round, even if he tries his best to clean up, but there is still a smell of furniture and objects for a long time.
There is a candle stand on the table, and it is daytime, not the time to light candles, so the candle stand is useless for the time being.
In addition to the candle holder, there is also a kettle, and next to the kettle are two cups.
When he first came, because Jiang Liu wanted to arrange a house to live in, Huzi sat in Jiang Liu's house for a while.
He saw that the cups in Jiang Liu's room were all broken, and it was easy to cut his lips if he didn't pay attention when drinking water.
Now holding the intact cup in his hand, Huzi was a little flustered.
After walking for a while, Xu was afraid that Yao Chuxi would be tired, so the emperor proposed to go into the palace to rest for a while.
Since it is resting, tea and pastries are naturally indispensable. As soon as I entered the temple and sat down, the rain over there brought people to put food on the square table one by one.
There are three plates of dim sum, a plate of four pieces of red bean cake, a plate of green bean balls, and a plate of purple potato cake.
In addition to this dim sum, there is also a small bowl of golden cinnamon dumplings, soft and glutinous, the skin is made of glutinous rice and flour and milk, wrapped with honey and jujube puree, purple potato puree, I only feel very sweet when I bite into it.
But this kind of thing should not be eaten too much, otherwise it will be difficult to digest.
"The concubine's father is going to Beijing in the next few days, right?" Yao Chuxi asked.
The emperor paused, as if thinking, "It's just a matter of the next few days, and I'll tell you when the time comes." ”
I wanted to ask something more, but Yao Chuxi knew that the emperor had given everything he could, and if he kept asking, it was hard to guarantee that he wouldn't think too much, and he thought that her Yao family was really the one who sent her daughter to change her official position.
Besides, the emperor manages a lot of things every day, where can he only care about Yao Zhice's promotion?
In the evening, the emperor rested in the Yingxue Pavilion again, because there was an early court the next day, so the emperor slept exceptionally early.
It may be that the month is getting bigger, but Yao Chuxi has had a rare insomnia for a while.
Turning over and facing the emperor, looking at the emperor's side face under the moonlight with his breathing, Yao Chuxi actually felt a little shy.
Sometimes she really thinks that it is a dream, or even if she dreams, she never thinks that she will sleep next to the king of a country, and this king of a country treats her very well, and even takes her mother's family with her light.
When he woke up in the morning, it was still the emperor who woke up first, and when Yao Chuxi got up, he could still feel the remaining warmth of the person next to him.
Today is extremely stuffy, as if it is going to be completely warmed up, and there is still some yin outside.
"It's going to rain." Han Shanggong said.
As expected, before lunch was served, it was much darker outside, and after a while, it began to rain cracklingly.
This spring rain is not big, but it is not small, as if some god in the sky accidentally broke up a plate of beads and fell to the ground crackling.
Even in the afternoon, lunch still has to be taken.
Jiang Liu and Xiao Yongzi held an umbrella alone, ignored the mud and dampness on the road, and hurried to the dining room.
The air was damp, as if the dirt on the ground breathed. Jiang Liu took a deep breath, only to feel that both nostrils were opened and wet.
When I came back, the rain was not only not small, but much heavier, like a waterfall pouring down, and I couldn't see the figure of a few steps away.
This tung oil umbrella usually covers a light rain, but now the rain is big enough to block the view, obviously the tung oil umbrella can't cover it.
Jiang Liu only felt that the tung oil umbrella he was holding in his hand was shaking incessantly, as if he was crumbling, as if he loosened his strength a little, the whole umbrella would collapse.
The two of them are almost trotting to the Yingxue Pavilion.
"But take a hot water and wash it carefully, don't get sick." Luo Xia hurriedly wiped Jiang Liu's head and hands with a handkerchief, turned to Xiao Yongzi and said, "The ginger soup has been burned in the tea room, you guys go drink it quickly." ”
Jiang Liu didn't know what he was talking about, but he hurriedly agreed, but he didn't dare to look at Luo Xia carefully, and dragged Xiao Yongzi's clothes along the porch and hurriedly walked to the door of the tea room.
"I said, Sixth Brother, what are you afraid of? Can Sister Luoxia still eat you? "Xiao Yongzi is a poor eyesight, at this time, he only thought that Jiang Liu was afraid of Luoxia, "I think that Sister Luoxia treats you very well, so why are you blushing?" ”
"Who's blushing?" Jiang Liu wiped the moisture on his face: "What do you know?" Hurry up and drink your ginger soup! Drink two more bowls and plug your mouth! ”
Xiao Yongzi was a little puzzled, and half-jokingly said, "It's not enough to say a few words, sixth brother, you are really angry." ”
Seeing that Jiang Liu had already raised his hand, Xiao Yongzi's legs and feet got up quickly, and he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the teahouse and opened the door and entered the house, and turned around and shouted, "If this is with the tigress, you can't raise your head in fear, sixth brother?" ”
