Chapter 10 Adults go to Wenshu
It was a sleepless night.
I've experienced too much and thought too much today, and Jiang Li can't sleep.
Outside the window, there was a crescent moon hanging in the sky, and under the reflection of the snow, the originally soft moonlight became cold. The weather was very cold, and Jiang Li couldn't help wrapping the Suzhou embroidered goose down brocade quilt on her body.
Wang Zicong...... He's a nice guy. When I was a child, Jiang Li was the only child in Huangli Palace, and there was always the sound of children playing and noisy in the back yard, and Jiang Li only felt bored and noisy.
Jiang Li grew up under the care of the old national teacher, reading and practicing calligraphy during the day, divination and stargazing at night, and it was difficult to have a moment of leisure.
The only partner by his side is Lu Wu. He was an abandoned baby that Cheng Lao inadvertently found in front of the gate of Tianji Palace three years before Jiang Li was born, and he couldn't bear to adopt him as an adopted son and let him raise him in Tianji Palace.
Cheng Lao treats him like a parent, raises him by his side, and teaches him to read and know etiquette. Until Jiang Li appeared, she became the focus of Cheng Lao's life. Lu Wu followed Cheng Lao from Tianji Palace to Huangli Palace.
Therefore, Lu Wu became the only playmate of the same age by Jiang Li's side when he was young. Although Jiang Li has frost and snow by her side, she can't be too close to her because of her identity, so the only thing this girl who longs for love wants is a little more company from Lu Wu.
For some reason, Lu Wu was cold by nature. No matter how the immature and lovely girl is entangled, he just often says: "Adults, go and read books." β
Jiang Li thought he was too cold, and he only felt bored, but he was helpless, and he still pestered him day after day. It's like a stupid red goldfish in a fish tank, which obviously just hit the wall, turned around for a while, and then forgot about it, so it touched the wall again, and it was stupid not to know that it had just hurt once.
Since he was a child, Lu Wusheng was white and lovely, if there is a red mole in the center of his eyebrows, it is said that Maitreya came to the world, and some people are willing to believe it. So the youngest daughter of the Wang family, who was separated by a wall, often secretly looked at him on the palace wall of Huangli Palace.
Lu Wu just said to let them see it, but Jiang Li was sulking.
The only thing that is relieved is that Mrs. Li in the courtyard next door is quite kind. Just because his house is the territory of Huangli Palace, she is also very unhappy in her heart, and often brings Wang Zicong to ask for peace.
Wang Zicong is only a little more than a year younger than Jiang Li, and whenever he comes with his mother, Jiang Li is like a New Year. Just because he always brings bamboo dragonflies, tangrams, wooden spinning tops and other things of ordinary children, and talks a lot of interesting things outside the palace with Jiang Li, which can only be seen by children.
Whenever he got something, Jiang Li showed it to Lu Wu as if he were offering a treasure. At first, he just frowned and asked Jiang Li to take it, but then he simply saw one and accepted it, and then it was all handed over to the national teacher.
Just for this matter, Jiang Li secretly cried in the room for a day, no matter how Jiang Xue Rinshuang persuaded her, her tears couldn't be stopped. The national teacher couldn't bear it, and returned all these treasures handed over by Lu Wu to Jiang Li.
But she was still sad, so she didn't say a word to Lu Wu for three days. It wasn't until the fourth day that Lu Wu found a string of rock sugar gourds out of nowhere, and stuffed them into Jiang Li with a red face, and then it was over.
Recalling, Jiang Li only felt that in his childhood, there was no fun all year round, and the only thing that could leave a deep impression was the red string of sugar gourds that had almost melted into syrup.
If it weren't for Wang Zicong's visits several times a month, and Jiang Li talked about a lot of things outside the palace, I don't know how boring life would be.
In public and private, Jiang Li must find out the real culprit and give him justice.
Since there are no doubts in the Hanlin Academy, let's look for clues in the Wang family in the corner courtyard of the Huangli Palace.
Soon the sky was bright, and the palace maid who was keeping vigil outside heard the movement, and gently pushed the door open to see that Jiang Li was already half-sitting on the bed, so she made a salute and passed dignifiedly: "My lord, get up-"
I saw more than a dozen maids, dressed in light green wind-haired palace clothes, coming in two by two. The first two are holding the incense burner, then the one holding the mouthwash basin and the roses, osmanthus, lilies, and white pear blossoms washing their hands, and then the four who are empty-handed.
In the end, the four of them moved gently, gently supporting Jiang Li's slender jade feet, and gently put on bright yellow embroidered acacia socks, and then wore a pair of Suzhou embroidered shoes embroidered with gold wrong crepe. Jiang Li eased up, rinsed his mouth, and got up on the ground.
Waving her hand, Jiang Xue helped Jiang Li up: "It's good to wear it solemnly." β
"Yes." Jiang Xue pointed to the four pineapple wood floor-to-ceiling two-door wardrobes carved with Meilan bamboo chrysanthemums in the dormitory, and signaled to open the innermost two doors.
The two maidservants stepped forward and opened the door, and the eyes suddenly seemed to be glittering with gold.
Rin Shuang stepped forward and picked out a magenta gold branch and green leaf flower skirt, the skirt was embroidered with magnolia, begonia, plum blossom, orchid, peony, peony, pear blossom and other colors, extremely gorgeous.
The most ingenious thought of this dress is actually the faint fragrance of the cloth.
When the flower skirt came, the little eunuch said that several pots of fresh flowers were provided in the flower room every day, and they were placed in charcoal pots in the greenhouse to keep the temperature high. Then the silk thread of the embroidered clothes is placed in the middle of the flowers, and several skillful palace maids are allowed to sit in the flower room, and the patterns are embroidered with stitches and threads.
The garment was a huge project that took 260 days to make. Sure enough, put this dress on, and if you walk around, you can smell the fragrant flowers, and you will directly attract butterflies to fly.
Because of this gorgeous clothes, Jiang Li only picked twelve silver hairpins of various patterns and inserted them on his head, combed them into a flying fairy bun, as if he was a noble flower fairy in heaven.
I didn't have a good appetite, so I didn't eat breakfast. After only drinking a few sips of the black tea paid tribute by Biguo and mixing it with milk, he felt that it was enough: "There is a little too much milk, so I punished the palace maid who was the tea for half a month and a month." With that, Jiang Li got up, went out and got into the phoenix sedan chair, and went to the Wang family's mansion in the west corner.
Jiang Li rarely set foot in his house, and the Wang family was caught off guard for a while. In the past few days, Wang Songbai has not been able to go to the court, although he is resentful and discouraged in his heart, he is helpless, and at this time he simply sleeps until three poles in the sun.
Li Ruodie walked quickly to the main hall in the uniform of the imperial court's four-grade lady, Jiang Li nodded: "Mrs. Li knows the rules, frost, reward." β
Rin Shuang immediately took the servants down, and found the inferior maids to fetch twenty brocades and reward Li Ruodie.
"Where's your family?" Jiang Li straightened the hem of her skirt and gave Mrs. Li a seat for the next head.
"Lord Wang, he stayed in Aunt Liu's room last night and hasn't gotten up yet." Between them, Li Ruodie knelt down again, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied with thoughtful etiquette.
Jiang Xue scolded loudly: "Bold! Someone hasn't called him yet! Lord Huangli arrived, how dare he be reckless! β
"Weichen should be damnedβ" As soon as Jiang Xue's words fell, she saw a figure coming quickly, undressed and not yet fully dressed.
Needless to say, this is Wang Songbai.
