Chapter 54: Fangzi?
"Xiuwan, bring the makeup box." Declined Huo Qinglian's invitation and returned to the small courtyard, Su Ruhui unbuttoned her clothes, entered the inner room with her feet clamped, and commanded without raising her head.
"Miss's outfit and bun are excellent, why change again?" Xiuwan pulled out her jewelry box and said strangely.
Su Ruhui looked at the bronze mirror carefully, and said: "Take out that pair of clove bracelets, and then change a purse for me, today I saw that the queen mother was hanging Xin Yi, I remember, the queen likes cloves." β
"Yes, the slave is confused." Xiuwan thought about it and said with a smile. This can't be blamed on her, after all, Xiuwan has been in Renshou Palace for the past two years, but she has never served in Weiyang Palace.
"Do you change the earrings too? The slave remembered that the young lady had several pairs of lilac earrings. Xiuwan took out the clove bracelet, this bracelet is made of pure gold, and countless tiny lilac buds fall from the simple bracelet, which is swaying and crisp when moving, especially suitable for Su Ruhui's age.
Su Ruhui shook her head and said: "I see that the queen's earrings are mostly cloves, in case they collide with her, or if they are slightly similar, it will inevitably cause gossip." β
Xiuwan didn't dare to suggest more, so she used a tin slave to cover the bracelet with heat, and then put it on for Su Ruhui, took out a brocade box and said, "Miss, this is the white jade golden ginseng." β
"Well, let's go." Su Ruhui nodded.
There is quite a distance from Renshou Palace to Weiyang Palace, and the two walked slowly, and the snow was very thick along the way, but fortunately, there were small yellow doors on the palace road that were carefully cleaned and sprinkled with salt.
It's just that the snowflakes are falling one after another, and even during the day, there is an indescribable depression.
"Remembering people are like Ping, gathering and scattering is embarrassing......"
"I don't see the ancient feast, and the east wind is broken......"
"The lights have been long, and the moon is brighter......"
β¦β¦
"The night is cool and suspicious of water, and the distance is long......hard"
"Whose hand is the willow give? Elsewhere or in the shade ......"
β¦β¦
The sound of curling singing came from the snow, and Su Ruhui subconsciously stopped and looked at Qiongtong Palace.
"It's Mrs. Yinghua." Su Ruhui said softly, "This song is so poignant, I don't know if it's cold." β
"Miss, let's go, there's still a long way to go, stand on the side of the road and don't freeze." Xiuwan frowned slightly and persuaded softly.
"Hmm." Su Ruhui nodded, but she was a little strange in her heart, if she said that the previous songs were not like Xue Zi's secret handwriting, this rhyme was not like the words that the palace concubine should sing.
Yes...... More similar to those songs of the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion. Prostitute. With Su Ruhui's identity and age, it is impossible for him to go to that kind of place, but the gate valve family often has songs at home. The atmosphere of prostitutes and dancers is to appreciate them on the one hand, and to have fun with friends on the other.
This kind of woman has been bought and reorganized since she was a child, and she is charming and moving, and she is often not allowed to teach by the official family.
And Su Mansion is naturally no exception, but Mrs. Zheng Yejun is extremely strict in disciplining this, and the regulations are also . Prostitute. Yiling's women can only move in a few courtyards, and if they are called, they will go out, and if they are not called, they will be stationed, and there are many strong and loyal grandmothers and guards inside and outside the courtyard.
Mrs. Zheng Yejun did this, not just because she was afraid that Wu Dehou would steal it, but because her eldest son Su Rutie and her concubine Su Rujun were both at the age when they already needed to know what to do, and they were worried that these two people would fall in love with those who were humble but had been specially taught how to deceive men.
Su Ruhui remembered that in addition to the season or banquets in Suzhou, relatives and friends usually leave the capital or return to the capital, and a large banquet will be set up to make the family members come out to perform. It is precisely because of this that when these family singers learn songs, those who fold willows to say goodbye, long pavilions to each other, and see each other after farewell are all sure to know.
A few sentences from Qiongtong Palace just now, it is a sigh of emotion, it is the song of the farewell of the gate valve family, but it is very different from the palace, not only different, but also not in accordance with the rules.
Su Ruhua thought about it, but unconsciously, she had already seen the palace gate of Weiyang Palace.
"Like a painting? There you are! The queen said that she went to Concubine Jing's Jinyun Palace for a palace affair, so Su Ruhui went directly to the place where Zhou Qi lived. An aunt in a jacket led Su Ruhui around the long and winding corridor, and finally appeared in front of a quiet courtyard. β
"Miss, how can you run out without wearing a coat!"
"It's cold outside, Missβ"
"Quick! Bring out the charcoal basin! β
Su Ruhui heard it wrong, and hurriedly sped up a few steps past the aunt and ran in, but saw that Zhou Qi's face was flushed, and he was only wearing jackets and silk shoes, so he rushed out of the hot charcoal fire and rushed out, but fortunately, a little palace maid who knew the severity grabbed her sleeve and pressed her under the eaves, otherwise it would be in the snow from there.
Rao is like this, and there are a few pieces of poplar-like snow on her shoulders, and her face can't hide the joy.
"Abandon the disease!" Su Ruhui knew that Zhou Qi's body was as weak as a weeping willow, and he was most afraid of the cold, since the first snow fell, he was detained by Queen Zhou and did not leave Weiyang Palace for half a step, and suddenly he was in a hurry, and quickly stepped forward to help her, and he didn't have time to greet each other, and shouted, "Come into the house quickly!" β
He shouted to the palace maids and grandmothers who were chasing out of the house with things with their hands and feet: "Why don't you quickly take a robe and put it on for the abandonment of illness!" β
After a period of chaos, Zhou Qizhi and Su Ruhui and the palace maids around them forcibly stuffed into the quilt in the inner room, and at this time, the flush on her face gradually faded due to excitement, showing an extremely pale real complexion.
"Cough, cough, cough......" Zhou Qi's cold hand grabbed Su Ruhui's sleeve, and was about to say something, but he was interrupted by a cough first, and suddenly he couldn't speak.
Seeing this, a grandmother who had served her for a long time hurriedly shouted outside: "Mu Kang, Mu Jian! Go and decoction! β
When Su Ruhui heard this, she turned her head abruptly and said, "Xiuwan, give the things to Mama, cut a little bit and boil it for Miss Zhou to drink!" β
The grandmother listened to it but owed a debt, and said with a sad face: "Miss Su is kind, the slave maid received it for my young lady, but the medicine that the young lady is taking now is prescribed by the imperial doctor invited by the queen's mother. β
Xiuwan couldn't help but say, "What is Mama doing, don't you first see what my young lady wants to give you?" "Xiuwan was originally the daughter of a poor family, and she never followed the lord after entering the palace, and she didn't know much, so she has always been quite frugal, this time Su Ruhua sent out a white jade golden ginseng that had just arrived, which had already made Xiuwan feel distressed and dripping blood, and she comforted herself for a long time before she could accept the generosity of Qingzhou Su's daughter.
But I didn't expect that when the thing came here, this grandmother was about to refuse without looking at it, and she was angry for a while, so she ridiculed.
"Mama Zhang!" At this moment, Zhou Qizhi's cough stopped temporarily, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said weakly, "I believe in Ruhua...... cough, cough, cough, cough cough ......" The grandmother surnamed Zhang listened, her face hesitated, but she was in a dilemma, thinking that she did not want to go against the meaning of Zhou Qi's illness, and was worried that it would harm her, so she was embarrassed.
Su Ruhui hurriedly stroked her back, glared at Xiuwan, and said to the grandmother: "Grandma is worried about your young lady, this is also human nature, but I was anxious when I saw that I was sick and uncomfortable, but I forgot it." Otherwise, would it be good for Mama to send a palace maid to ask the imperial doctor to take a look? β
That Mama Zhang heard this and was about to agree.
"Miss, the slave has never heard of any medicine that will conflict with the white jade ginseng, with this ginseng, what is the medicine of those imperial doctors to drink?" Xiuwan interjected aggrievedly.
Su Ruhui's hand for Zhou Qi's illness was suddenly stunned, and he said angrily: "Xiuwan! β
She is not very old, but she was born in the family of the crown for many generations and the family of hairpins for generations, but this commanding bearing has been natural and smooth, this is the first time that Xiuwan has seen the young lady angry with herself after serving her, and she was shocked, and almost dropped the brocade box in her hand.
"Ahh At this embarrassment, it was Mama Zhang who covered her mouth and exclaimed, "White jade golden ginseng!" Sky! The prescription of the Imperial Doctor can be used! β
Su Ruhui was angry that Xiuwan was making all kinds of petty anger in order to feel sorry for the white jade golden ginseng that had been promised to be given to Zhou Qi's disease, but she suddenly heard Mama Zhang say this, and Zhou Qi's illness next to her also showed a look of surprise......

The third watch is over, everyone is optimistic!
