One hundred and fourteenth: gray hair
Knowing that her mother would come to the palace tomorrow, Yao Chuxi was really excited and didn't sleep well all night.
At night, whether she was asleep or not, she seemed to see her grandmother's face and her father's face, and when she turned her head, she saw her mother sitting on the pillow and smiling at her.
Then she turned her head, and everything in front of her disappeared again, leaving her alone in the dormitory.
"Is it a dream?" Yao Chuxi said to himself, reaching out and touching his face.
Where can a dream be so real? Yao Chuxi even heard his mother's breath and smelled the smell of the incense that his father often lit when he wrote.
I woke up one night and fell asleep, tossing and turning, so that Yao Chuxi was still lying in bed after three o'clock in the morning.
"What's the matter, little master?" Han Shanggong saw that the breakfast had been going for a long time, and the master couldn't afford it, and the master didn't speak, and several people didn't dare to set the meal, worried that it would be uncomfortable to eat it when it was cold, so he went into the back room and took a look.
"The little lord is still asleep." Luo Yu said softly, "Xu didn't sleep well last night." ”
Han Shanggong stretched out his finger and touched the master's forehead, and then breathed a sigh of relief, as if relieved, "Wake up the little master in another hour of incense, the emperor may not come today, don't miss the holy drive." ”
Luoyu replied softly.
Han Shanggong said: "If you are really sleepy, ask the little master to have breakfast and then go to sleep." ”
Today is the day when the master's mother enters the palace, although the emperor did not make it clear whether it is today or tomorrow, the rain in Han Shanggong has to plan early, so he is worried that the delay will make the two unable to see each other.
Before the hour of a stick of incense arrived, Yao Chuxi woke up.
"Little master, you're finally awake."
"What time is it?" Yao Chuxi asked sleepily.
"Breakfast has been here for a while, it should still be hot now, you can get up and eat, if you are sleepy, you can use breakfast and go to bed again."
Yao Chuxi was like a matchmaker playing with a country child, and he was helped up by the two of them, changed into a new bedclothes, and put on his clothes again.
After washing, I went to the front room and sat down carefully at the square table.
"Mother is going to enter the palace today, right?" Yao Chuxi was about to eat when he suddenly remembered this.
"The emperor doesn't mean that today is tomorrow, don't worry, little lord, it's still early, even if you don't come today, you will come tomorrow." Han Shanggong replied.
Yao Chuxi nodded, reached out and grabbed a piece of meat.
As soon as the breakfast was finished here, Ding Zhou hurriedly entered the hall, stretched out his hand and patted his sleeves left and right, and first saluted the master, "Little master, Mrs. Yao has entered the palace!" ”
In order to restrain herself, Yao Chuxi simply embroidered embroidery patterns with embroidered cloth and silver needles, wanting to draw attention to the embroidered cloth, but after hearing Ding Zhou's words, she couldn't sit still anymore.
"Entered the palace? Where are people now? Yao Chuxi stood up from the low couch, walked a few steps quickly and supported the master steadily.
"I heard that I just entered the palace gate, and now I should go to the back garden, don't worry, wait."
The gate of this palace is far away from the back garden, but I am afraid that if her mother really walks to Yingxue Pavilion by herself, then lunch can be served.
However, Yao Chuxi's position is only in talents, even his mother's status is low, and his father's official position is not high, so I am afraid that there is no other way except to go step by step.
Although the weather is much warmer now, the wind is very strong, and sometimes people can't walk when it blows for a while. Yao Chuxi was worried about this, and deliberately asked Jiang Liu to take Luoxia to pick up his mother.
On the way, Jiang Liu handed Luo Xia a handkerchief, wrapped in a boxy manner, Luo Xia's face was uncertain, so after taking the handkerchief and opening it, Jiang Liu glanced at him, "Where do you have spare money to always buy me things?" I don't accept these earrings. ”
As she spoke, she rewrapped the earrings with a handkerchief and returned them to Jiang Liu.
Jiang Liu was a little aggrieved and said, "These earrings are not expensive, I saved up the monthly money to buy them during the Chinese New Year, and I should have given them to you a long time ago, but Duan Kui only went out of the palace once in the past two days, and this time I went in a hurry, so I bought a pair casually, don't look down on it..."
Could Luo Xia not know the meaning of his words?
"Shut up! I am serving in front of the little master, what hairpin earrings have I never seen? The little master often rewards us some, where can you spend money? I don't want to. ”
Jiang Liu took the handkerchief, a little at a loss, it was not to put it away, nor was it to send it out, and he followed Luoxia with his head drooping.
"Otherwise, you'll take it... I promise this is the last time..."Jiang Liu muttered as he walked more than half the way.
Luo Xia turned around and gave him a small piece of silver, "I bought it, and I won't allow it next time." ”
"Where did you get the money?" Jiang Liu took two quick steps and walked side by side with her.
If she really doesn't want it, then Jiang Liu's this belongs to the loss of his wife and the soldiers, compared to not receiving, now she generously accepted the earrings, although she gave Jiang Liu money, but she didn't feel burdened.
"Monthly money." Luo Xia only replied with these two words.
After walking for a while, the two ran into Pan Zhenan.
"Grandpa Pan!" Jiang Liu trotted two steps to Pan Zhen'an, "Where are you going?" ”
"Where are you kid?" Pan Zhenan asked him rhetorically.
Jiang Liu scratched his head and said, "The little one will pick up the Yao family's wife for the little master." ”
"I don't need you." Pan Zhenan raised his hand as he spoke, "The emperor is considerate of the hard work of Mrs. Yao's family, and specially ordered me to ask someone to carry a soft roll to pick me up, you go back to Yingxue Pavilion first, don't let Yao Meiren wait." ”
"Gotcha." Jiang Liu smiled stupidly, "Then there is Lao Pan's father-in-law, the little one will go back and talk to the little master." ”
Jiang Liu had just returned to Yingxue Pavilion here, and when there was a cup of tea before and after, Pan Zhenan came with someone.
It turned out that after separating from Jiang Liu, he only walked forward for a short time and ran into Mrs. Yao, who had just entered the palace, which showed that it was the emperor's reward, and Mrs. Hou did not dare to sit on the soft roller steadily, so she had to go to Yingxue Pavilion.
The road was far away, and even if the weather was still cool, she was sweating.
Pan Zhenan led the way, but there was no need for other palace people to lead the way for his wife.
Hearing that his mother had arrived, Yao Chuxi hurriedly got up from the low couch, holding the falling snow in one hand and the slightly bulging lower abdomen in the other, "Mother has arrived?" Take me out to her. ”
As soon as he came out of the door of Yingxue Pavilion, Pan Zhenan had just turned the corner with someone carrying a soft roller, and was walking this way, and before he got close, he could see a woman who looked like a woman walking beside him.
"Mother!" Yao Chuxi beckoned forward, "My daughter is here!" ”
Since Fang entered the palace, he didn't dare to raise his head, only carefully looking at the palace bricks under his feet. This is the Imperial Palace! Not to mention that they did something wrong, even people who took the wrong step and were beheaded, where can they not be careful?
Turning the corner, he heard his daughter's voice, and Fang Shi raised his head suddenly, "Xi'er!" ”
Yao Chuxi walked a few steps quickly with the falling snow, and met the Fang clan who was also in a hurry, "Mother, are you tired?" Come in and rest! ”
Instead, Fang Shi waved his hand, "Mother is not tired. ”
Just when Yao Chuxi wanted to persuade something, he saw Fang Clan kneeling down slowly.
"Mother, what are you doing here?" Yao Chuxi hurriedly bent down to help.
At this moment, the eyes of the mother and daughter were already moist, and everyone present was moved.
"Courtesy Yao's greetings to Yao Meiren!"
Fang's real name and surname are Fang, but he is married to the Yao family, so he must match his husband's surname when he goes out.
Yao Chuxi helped her mother, "You and your daughter are one, where do you want to salute?" Hurry up and go in with your daughter, this journey must be very tiring..."
Luoshuang came from the other side and held Fang's left hand, while her right hand held her daughter, and several people helped each other into Yingxue Pavilion.
Han Shanggong led the palace people to wait in the Yingxue Pavilion, and after seeing the Fang clan come in, he first saluted, and then looked at it carefully.
It's no wonder that the master and the Fang clan are mother and daughter, it's just like a mold carved out, but after all, the Fang clan is older than the master, with fine wrinkles left on his face, and his eyelids are slightly drooping, which doesn't look as good as the master's spirit.
However, her skin is well maintained, and the white is ruddy, I don't know if it's because she was in a hurry, but she looks very good at this time.
In order to enter the palace to see her daughter, Fang's family started planning a few days ago, from head to toe, the clothes on her body were bought two days ago, and the materials were all good materials, which she had never seen in her life.
As soon as the Fang clan entered the courtyard, he saw the difference between Han Shanggong and other palace people, nodded at her, and then when Han Shanggong saluted, she also stepped forward to help people up.
The palace people surrounded the master and the Fang family into the east hall, and Pan Zhenan found a gap to talk back to Han Shanggong, saying that he would go back to the Taihe Palace first.
"You're in a hurry, you must be tired on the way." Yao Chuxi held his mother's hand, his eyes full of distress.
The current mother is almost the same as the mother before entering the palace, but it is very different, let's just say that this white hair, in the past, only a few sparse, is now not a few can be stopped.
I'm afraid that I am always thinking about the daughter in the palace, and I am worried about family affairs and my grandmother's illness.
"I'm not too tired, the emperor arranged it very properly, let people drive the carriage to pick me up, the carriage is very spacious!" The Fang clan has been avoiding his daughter's question, and only put the emperor's good on the bright side, "Xi'er, how are you doing?" I heard that you had a miscarriage, but it scared me, did you make up for it? ”
Yao Chuxi smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, how to compare your home with the palace?" The daughter eats well in the palace, and even the medicinal materials are the most valuable, but I am afraid that if I make up for it, I will grow meat! ”
Fang's knew that his daughter was comforting her, and he didn't say anything too sad, so he only clasped his hands with her, "I haven't seen you for three years, you are really a big girl, the brighter you are, compared to before you entered the palace, you are a lot calmer." ”
"You say, look at your white hair." Yao Chuxi held back the tears in his eyes, reached out and touched his mother's forehead, "How is my father at home?" I'm afraid you have gray hair like you, right? ”
