Chapter 17: The Elixir of Blessing and Longevity
Chunsha and Chunbi returned to the dormitory, but saw an uninvited guest in the house.
She wears a spring dress made of fine silk, her delicate face is covered with rouge, and the jasper bracelet she wears on her wrist is shiny.
Sitting upright, elegant and solemn, full of the majesty of a superior person, it doesn't look like a maid, but like a pampered lady from a rich family.
The two glanced at each other and stepped forward respectfully.
Chunsha made tea, Chunbi served a plate of exquisite pastries, and said coquettishly: "What kind of wind is blowing today, and it actually blew Sister Qiuwen here...... But what did Madame tell my sister to do? Sister Qiuwen just sent the little girl below to run, why bother to come over in person? Don't get tired! ”
Chunsha brought fragrant tea, "Sister Qiuwen, our sister has been tempting the son according to Madame's orders-"
"Madame didn't let you tempt your son."
Qiu Wen interrupted her, raised her hand and held the silver butterfly hairpin on her bun, between her eyebrows, there was a faint coldness and alienation.
Occasionally, mixed with a kind of disdain.
Disdain for the Chunsha Chunbi sisters, and even, disdain for the entire Mingde Academy.
Chunsha laughed with her, "What Sister Qiuwen said is that Madame sent my sister over just to tell us to 'serve my son well'." ”
Chunbi blinked her bright eyes, "Sister Qiuwen, Childe originally liked the two of us, but now in our yard, a little girl suddenly came, and now Childe's eating and drinking are all in charge of her." The food we sent was never touched by Childe. ”
"Little girl?" Qiu Wen raised her eyebrows.
Chunbi explained the origin of Su wine in detail.
Qiu Wen listened without changing her face, got up and said, "I know, you two are still serving Gongzi well." ”
After that, he left with lotus steps.
The tea and snacks on the table are in motion.
Chunbi changed her respect just now, and "spitted" at her back, "Phew, what's the matter, isn't it just waiting by Madame's side!" He still looks down on us, and refuses to take a sip of tea! Hey, aren't you also a slut?! ”
Chunsha held her hand and said softly, "Sister, trouble comes from the mouth." Our deed of sale is in the hands of Mrs., even a dog beside her, and we dare not offend. ”
Chunbi went to wash up indignantly, but in her mind, Xiao Tingchen's half-bright and half-dark handsome face inexplicably appeared.
She paused in her face wiping, and a shy flush gradually appeared on her cheeks.
If only she could be a concubine for her son, then she can be regarded as half a master, so she doesn't have to suffer Qiu Wen's slut's anger......
Following.
When the sky was just clear, Xiao Tingchen was dressed in a frost-white middle coat and trousers, and simply wore a azure coat, standing under the porch and tending to the flowers and plants.
Su Jiu sat in the room, holding a copy of the Book of Songs and was fascinated.
She looked at it for half an hour, rubbed her swollen eyes, and looked up at the door.
Under the eaves, the little brother is very patient, carefully pruning a strange plant.
The plant was flaming red, knee-high, and was planted in a dark, dilapidated mud pot.
The stem of the tree is like two trees tightly twisted and intertwined, and although the crown of the tree is only the size of a basin, countless small red leaves grow in a staggered manner, which is extremely delicate, like a small red cloud.
She had never seen such a strange tree.
As if noticing her inquiring gaze, Xiao Tingchen bent over and said with a smile while trimming the branches: "Is it good-looking?" ”
"It's good-looking, I don't know what it's called?"
"Celestial Pepper."
Su Jiu held his cheeks, and a page that he inadvertently turned to when he was reading "Xiangxian" in the library last afternoon came to his mind.
