Chapter 12: The Little Woman
At this time, Aunt Ruan opened the curtain and put the food on the side of the desk: "How many days is the girl in a good mood?" ”
"It's okay, it's just that the house is a little stuffy."
"The slave and the maid have something to say to the girl."
"You say."
"The slave maid has a niece who works on an errand in another courtyard, and in a month the princess gets married, she is afraid that she will not be able to be busy...... There is nothing going on in our yard, and the slave wants to help. ”
Seeing the New Year, Xiao Huaijin seems to be really getting married.
Why did you forget this stubble again?
Wanxiang wrapped it in her silk handkerchief and jade crown, put it in the brocade box on the side, and said to Aunt Ruan: "Then go, I can do it." ”
"Eh, the slave went down first."
Aunt Ruan claims to be a slave and maid, and she really regards Wanxiang as her master? They are also an errand boy, but they sell their jobs and their lives.
The sun was warm outside, but it was a little cold inside. Thinking of Wanxiang, he put on his coat and walked alone in the backyard of the palace.
The spring plum blossom period is only ten days, and now there are only some bare branches left. It's clear that spring is in full bloom, but it makes people feel a little decadent.
Pulling the withered branches in his heart, he bit his lip while thinking about Aunt Ruan's words just now.
was walking behind him, and a cold sentence came: "Little boy?!" What are you doing here? Take a twig to it? ”
The one who called himself a little boy should be Bai Ninghou, who was frightened by Xiao Huaijin's eyes last time. Ayaka pretended not to hear, and just walked forward.
Rong Chuan followed closely behind him: "Little boy, why are you avoiding me?" ”
Wanxiang was about to leave, and saw Xiao Huaijin head-on. Biting his red lip and turning back to face Rong Chuan, Rong Chuan was taken aback and almost hit the person in front of him.
At this moment, Bai Ninghou saw Xiao Huaijin's iron face, so Wanxiang got closer, and he stepped back.
"Where am I hiding from Master Hou? Hou Ye told me that something was wrong? ”
"You...... You stand first. ”
"Why? I'm afraid I'm too far away from Hou Ye to hear what Hou Ye said. ”
Rong Chuan raised his hands as he stepped back: "You stand there and don't move!" ”
"Don't move?" Wanxiang smiled evilly: "That's a little difficult." ”
Xiao Huaijin stood behind and listened to his face colder than the frost in the morning: "What's so difficult?" If you want to get close to Bai Ninghou like this, just send you to his house as a concubine. ”
"Don't, don't!" Rong Chuan hurriedly shirked it: "I'm afraid that you will be unhappy and kill me." ”
As he spoke, Rong Chuan hurriedly bypassed Wanxiang and stood behind Xiao Huaijin, and heard Xiao Huaijin say: "Bai Ning Hou likes it, just take it back." Anyway, this girl is getting harder and harder to educate. ”
This time, it was Wanxiang's turn to look bad, glaring at Xiao Huaijin, and biting her lip angrily.
Rong Chuan hurriedly excused himself: "Just kidding, I'm joking." Don't take it seriously, don't be angry! ”
"The incense is just an object, who does the prince want to give it to, in a word. As long as the prince speaks today, Wanxiang will serve seriously in Baining Houfu in the future. ”
"You ......" Xiao Huaijin stretched out his hand and pointed at the incense: "You don't know shame!" ”
"The prince has said this many times, and his subordinates dare not wantonly contradict him. The prince said that I am not ashamed, that is shameless! ”
"Shut up!"
Wanxiang lowered her head and said seriously: "If the prince is unhappy, he can punish his subordinates, but I am afraid that the prince will not even be busy with his own wedding, so don't keep staring at whether your subordinates know shame." ”
"You've been more and more reckless lately, doing what a little woman does."
"It's a little girl, since the prince is bored, it just happened to be given to the Hou Ye."
One fearless, the other furious. Rong Chuan was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle, and he didn't think that he would become like this when he said hello.
Stretched out his hand to block between the two people, for fear that the two would fight: "Okay, okay, I don't have any ...... to you"
"Son?" Wanxiang took a deep breath: "Wanxiang doesn't have the blessing of serving the prince. It's just a plaything, where is the? ”
After saying that, she turned around and left, Xiao Huaijin just wanted to stop her, but Rong Chuan stretched out his hand to stop: "Forget it, little girl...... It's not easy to raise. ”
This little woman is really extraordinary, she dares to flirt with Bai Ninghou, and she also dares to compete with the king of Pingnan, who has made great achievements. Live and pampered and proud.
It's just that she doesn't know herself, Xiao Huaijin really indulges her.
Although she felt depressed in her heart, she still acted very indifferent. As soon as I returned to the yard, I kept chattering, either wiping the knife, smelling the medicine in the bottle, or holding the medicine pestle and tinkering vigorously.
She didn't know what she wanted to do.
After a while, Liang Cuo came over: "Juanxiang." ”
"Huh? Do? ”
Liang mistakenly put the book on the side of Wanxiang's case: "The prince asked you to copy the book." ”
"What?" Wanxiang thought that she had heard it wrong, and reached out to open the book and saw that the words '捭阖' were written inside: "Tell me to copy the book?" ”
"The prince said that you are too idle, so you are wandering around. The temperament is also too impetuous, so I have to copy books to nourish my nature. ”
"Huh?"
"I have to memorize it."
Xiao Huaijin could figure it out, Suri Wanxiang didn't even bother to write her name, and actually asked her to copy the book. Wanxiang pushed the book forward: "You can't copy it, you can't copy it, you can't copy this book." ”
"Why?"
"You go and tell the prince that I would rather be sent to Baining Houfu than copy books."
"What the prince said is angry, do you take it seriously?"
"When is our prince not 'hard to chase after a word'? Angry talk? ”
"Anyway, I brought you the book. If you don't write or memorize, the prince will be angry, and I can't stop his anger. ”
Wanxiang rolled her eyes: "How much to copy?" ”
"Copy it all."
“……”
Copy and copy, Wanxiang copied word by word, and Qi'er sat aside to study ink for her. After less than an hour, Wanxiang felt sour. Throwing the pen away, he reached out and dragged his head: "Where is this what people do?" ”
"Tired girl?"
"It's boring." Seeing that it was already getting dark outside, Akika wanted to go out again. But thinking about Xiao Huaijin's straight face, it's better to stay in the yard.
"It's still good in Beixun, although it's not as expensive as the Imperial City, even a stone is more expensive than other places, but it's also very lively. You can also lie on the moonlight tree on the bank of the Xun River and watch the sunset. ”
"Girl, let's copy it quickly."
Thinking about it, Wanxiang sighed, and continued to bow his head and copy: "Don't be busy, go and bathe me with boiling water." ”
"Yes." Qi'er lifted her dress and got up to leave.
Wanxiang copied the book by herself, and after a while, she fell asleep on the desk. She dreamed that she had returned to Beixun City, lying on the Yuehua tree and looking in the direction of southern Xinjiang, counting the days when Xiao Huaijin would come back.
When she fell asleep, Juanxiang's face pressed the brush impartially.
The room was dim, and a hand burned a candlestick. Xiao Huaijin sat on the side and took advantage of the candlelight, looking at the sleeping appearance of Wanxiang.
