Wen Hongying saw that Lu Niangzi was acting like this, her fists clenched angrily, her face flushed, and then she looked at the flattery and flattery on Lu Niangzi's face, but felt that it was more like a mockery of her.

……

After a nap for lunch, Mrs. Tai and Wen Hongying had tea in the inner room.

"You," Seeing that Wen Hongying's interest was obviously not high, Mrs. Tai couldn't help sighing: "After all, it is a young girl's family, and they all love to play with people of the same age, and they don't like to accompany my old wife." ”

"How could my grandmother say that?" Wen Hongying was stunned for a moment, got up and snuggled up to Mrs. Tai's side, and argued cleverly: "If grandmother says this, Ying'er will be too sad...... Ying'er just got up and was a little confused. ”

"Alright, alright." Mrs. Tai waved her hand and said with a smile: "Go and play with the big girl." ”

Wen Hongying was in a bad mood, and seeing that Mrs. Tai was very persistent, she thought about going to relax, and finally stood up according to Mrs. Tai's words, and said, "Then Ying'er will go to Cousin Ya to see what kind of strange things she gets." ”

"Go ahead." Mrs. Tai smiled: "Have fun, pick more favorites." ”

"Yes." Wen Hongying said with a smile.

After taking two steps, Wen Hongying suddenly stopped, turned around, and approached Mrs. Tai again.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Tai asked lovingly.

"Grandmother." Wen Hongying slowly wrapped her arms around Mrs. Tai's waist and leaned the whole person into Mrs. Tai's arms.

Such an intimate action, Wen Hongying has not done it for several years, Mrs. Tai's heart seems to be able to soften the water in an instant, she gently smoothed Wen Hongying's hair, and asked gently: "Ying'er, what's wrong, they are all big girls, and they are still coquettish with their grandmother......"

"Ying'er just thinks," Wen Hongying said sullenly: "It would be nice to be able to accompany her grandmother like this for the rest of her life." ”

Mrs. Tai's hand patting Wen Hongying's back froze instantly, almost crying.

……

Two bedrooms, Xiuya Garden.

As Cao said, those spars are not of the highest quality, but it is undeniable that they are really very beautiful, and they are rare and good things.

Wen Hongying was discussing with Wei Ya how to use these spars, but they heard a report from the maid that the Cao family was here.

Cao came over to meet Wen Hongying and send some snacks by the way.

"Look, I said a long time ago that it wasn't a good thing, but you still took it upon yourself to invite your Ying cousin over." Cao Shi first reprimanded Wei Ya angrily for a few words, and then said apologetically to Wen Hongying: "This is a gadget sent by your second uncle's friend a few days ago, if it weren't for your cousin Ya who gave you a post without knowing the seriousness, the second aunt would be really embarrassed to take it out, you can just pick some of your favorite ones and play with them." ”

"Second aunt is too modest," Wen Hongying smiled lightly: "These spars are very beautiful, I like them very much." ”

"If you like it, if you like it, if you like it." Cao Shi said happily: "If you don't dislike it, you can pick more." ”

"Mother," Wei Ya interjected dissatisfiedly: "It's just a little bit, where can I pick more, Cousin Ying and I just thought that this red spar must look good on the skirt, but, look, there are only a few pieces of this red one, where is enough." ”

"Really?" Cao stepped forward, took the small red spar handed over by Wei Ya, looked at it in front of the light, and praised: "Or your cousins have an idea, such a small one is inlaid on the skirt, and it really looks good in the sun." ”

"But there are only so many red hedrons." Wei Ya pouted, pointed to a small pile of hedrons in front of her and complained, "It's not enough to set a skirt at all." ”

Cao Shi glanced at Wen Hongying, and saw that her face also showed a little disappointed, and then smiled, and said, "Hey, I thought it was a big deal, it's just a few spars, which one do you like?" If only I asked the man to bring some more into the house. ”

"Is that okay?" Wei Ya said excitedly: "Mother, really? Can I really send some more? ”

Wen Hongying's eyes also shone brightly, looking at Cao Shi hopefully.

"Nature can." Cao's smile was light, and he said strangely: "It's not a big deal, and it's worth worrying about you like this." ”

"Could it be too much trouble?" Wen Hongying asked a little embarrassed, she was a little arrogant, and she always felt that the Cao family was too attentive to her, so she didn't like to contact the Cao family, and she didn't like to trouble the Cao family.

"No trouble, no trouble, no trouble at all." Cao Shi hurriedly replied, after thinking about it, she got closer to Wen Hongying, and said softly: "What about the person who sent these spars, the eldest son of the family is working in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and Miss Yingbiao also knows that this Northern Expeditionary Army is under the management of our Hou Ye, and that person was introduced to your second uncle in front of you, and I want your second uncle to say a few kind words in front of the Hou Ye, and you also know your second uncle's temperament, it is a person who doesn't care about anything, but that person is very persistent, and has been sending the east to the west to your second uncle......

"It turned out that I was begging the third uncle to do something," Wei Ya suddenly realized, and couldn't help asking: "Then, we accepted these spars, are we going to help his family?" ”

"How easy it can be." Cao's arrogant said: "There are more people who want to beg the Hou Ye to carry it, for so many years, the people who have asked for your father's name are too many to count, what kind of gift we haven't seen...... Zhenguohou's favor, can anyone climb it? He should be grateful for being able to send the gift to the Hou Mansion...... However, since you like what he sent," Cao Shi took Wen Hongying's hand and said with a smile: "It's up to our Miss Yingbiao to like it, so let's help him." ”

"How can it be my face." Wen Hongying uncomfortably broke free of Cao's hand, and said with a forced smile: "It's all the second aunt's kindness." In his heart, he was very ashamed, and the Cao family used Wei Bai for personal gain.

"Hey, actually," Cao sighed, "This is just a matter of mentioning a sentence or two in a homely letter, but for them, there is no way out......

"yes." Wen Hongying also sighed, thinking that the Marquis of Ningguo's Mansion, which was also famous back then, now has little influence on the army, and her heart can't help but be gloomy.

"In that case...... Wei Ya glanced at Wen Hongying and said with a smile: "If the matter of the spar satisfies Cousin Ying, then let Daddy mention it in the letter, well, two or three sentences." ”

"You ghost girl!" Cao Shi flicked Wei Ya's forehead angrily, and said, "It's not good to make fun of other people's careers like this......

Wen Hongying sat alone in a trance, not noticing that the maid Jasmine was carrying a plate of snacks and putting it in her hand, and as soon as she raised her hand, it was a coincidence that one of them touched her hand.

The pastry was warm, not hot, but there was some yellow greasy on the back of Wen Hongying's white and tender hand, which looked really indecent.

Jasmine immediately knelt down in panic and confessed her mistake.

Cao Shi hurriedly stepped forward to check if Wen Hongying was hurt, and Wei Ya scolded Jasmine.

Wen Hongying knew in her heart that it was because she was distracted and didn't pay attention, so she stopped Wei Ya's punishment of kneeling Jasmine.

"Why don't you go and wait for Cousin Ying to clean her hands!" Wei Ya shouted to Jasmine who was kneeling.

Jasmine hurriedly got up, supported Wen Hongying, and carefully flattered: "Miss Yingbiao, please go with the slave to clean your hands." ”

……

In the Garden of Dawn.

After Wen Hongying left, after a long time, Mrs. Tai sat stiffly on the collapse and did not move.

Mother Tao probed outside the curtain several times, thought about it, and finally brought in new refreshments, and while making new tea for Mrs. Tai, she sighed with emotion: "Or Miss Yingbiao will make Mrs. Tai happy, you, it's been a long time since you laughed so happily as today." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Tai took the tea cup handed over by Mother Tao, and answered in a fluttering voice.

"The slave can still lie to you!" Mother Tao smiled: "Didn't you see it, when you were with Miss Yingbiao, you looked at it, it was obvious that you were several years younger." ”

Mrs. Tai couldn't help but stroke her cheek, but she smiled and didn't speak.

"Hey," Mother Tao sighed, "Slave maid, it would be nice if Miss Yingbiao could stay in the house for a long time, with Miss Yingbiao by her side, the slave and maid don't have to worry about you here and you there all day long. ”

"That's ...... you say," Mrs. Tai shook her head with a smirk.

"It's true." Mother Tao said seriously: "Look, this Miss Yingbiao has just left for a while, and there is no smile on your face......

"Yes," sighed Madame...... as she gazed at the swaying branches outside the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

……

The second room, the clean room of Xiu Ya Yuan.

"Miss Yingbiao, you try this pancreas," Jasmine presented a piece of rose-colored delicate pancreas to Wen Hongying's hands, and said flatteringly and mysteriously: "Miss Yingbiao, the slave whispered to you, this is the delicate used by Du Guifei back then." ”

Is it delicate?

Wen Hongying took the small piece and looked at it carefully.

It turns out that this is the "delicate" that Du Guifei used to do back then.

When the first emperor, Du Guifei favored the harem, and the things used were all imitated and sought after by the ladies and ladies of Beijing, but Du Guifei had a domineering temperament, and the things used loved to enjoy the only one, figuratively said that the pancreas of the clean hands, the Red Sleeve Xiang Society was raised by Du Guifei, after improving again and again, and finally developed this pancreas that is said to make the hands fragrant and tender, slender and soft, Du Guifei specially named it "delicate", and became her special thing.

Just a few days ago, Wen Hongying heard Wen Wei's complaint, saying that the "delicate" promised by the Red Sleeve Fragrance Society had not yet arrived, but she didn't expect that Cao's even Weiya was used here...... At this moment, Wen Hongying once again felt the difference between the Ningguo Houfu and the Zhenguo Houfu by outsiders, and couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart.
