Chapter 47: Ning Mansion (7)
As soon as Xianchen returned to the room, he saw Rose put down the female red she was making in her hand and came over to make tea for Xianchen. Looking at the rose again, she applied a thin layer of rouge on her goose egg face, and applied pink lipstick, her face was ruddy, her eyes were affectionate, she was wearing a light red apricot blossom shoulder, and she wore a smoke cloud butterfly skirt that was appreciated in the evening of Xiao Autumn last year, and she wore two begonias picked from the yard on her head, and she was about to ask her if she had a sweetheart, when she heard two knocks.
The person who came still had a serious face, his eyes were empty, and he saluted perfunctorily and said solemnly: "Madame ordered the old slave to inform Miss Yan that tomorrow is the first day of the middle of the month, and according to the custom, I want to ask the old lady for peace, and I can wait at the door of Chi Shou Tang at the time of the hour." Madame thought that Miss Yan would not know the way when she first arrived, and she planned to send someone to guide Miss Yan, but now it seems that there is no need for it......" Xian Chen looked at this Mama Kong with a gun and a stick in her heart, and ignored her, just looked directly at the black mole at the corner of her mouth, and thought, "I said a few words to me and Yan Yue two days ago, and now it seems that it is stained with Miss Meng's light." ”
"Ahem!" After Mama Kong finished speaking, she saw that Xianchen did not react, so she coughed lightly.
"Yes, Xianchen remember, I'm tired of my grandmother for a trip." Dust immediately came back to his senses.
Mama Kong went out after explaining, and Rose saw that Xianchen was too lazy to move, so she sent people outside the Tangerine Huai Pavilion for her before coming back, and when she came back, Xianchen had already fallen asleep in a daze. It seems that it takes a lot of effort to please an old man, and today Xianchen can be said to have used all eighteen kinds of martial arts, although she is relaxed, she can't stand the tiredness of her body, and she seems to have not fallen asleep like this for a long time. Think about the past in Yanfu, which day was not a day when the body was tired, and there was no obstacle in the heart, and I slept until the third pole of the sun.
Early the second morning, when Xianchen arrived at Chi Shou Tang, he saw that the door was full of people, except for the noble and gorgeous Ning Luotong and the gentle and graceful Meng Zhiyue, the other three looked a little green, with a dull expression, and the three young ladies who were dressed should be the three young ladies who were dressed up. Thinking about it, if it weren't for the young age, Princess Anping would not have left them in the mansion, and they would have become the paving stones of the Ning Mansion long ago. But Ning Luofang is obviously the eldest daughter of Ning Mansion, and the three younger sisters are all married, leaving her alone, presumably Gao Zhi has not yet been selected, and this Princess Anping is not afraid of causing criticism.
As soon as the hour arrived, the door of Chi Shou Tang opened as scheduled, and a tall woman dressed as a first-class maid with crooked eyes full of smiles and a little freckles on her cheeks came out, she bent down and glanced at everyone again and said: "Ladies and ladies have been waiting for a long time, the old lady has risen, please come in with the slave maid." ”
Hearing this, only Xianchen took a step and saw that everyone did not move, so he embarrassedly retracted the leg that he had taken away. I was puzzled when I heard someone whispering in the crowd: "Madame is here." Xianchen looked back and saw Princess Anping's steps coming over unhurriedly, just now she was focused on the three young ladies, and she didn't pay attention to Princess Anping's arrival.
"Greetings to Madame!" As soon as Princess Anping got off the sedan chair, everyone saluted together.
"Good boys, get up." Princess Anping had just been exempted, and Ning Luotong and Meng Zhiyue had already stepped forward to support her. She looked at Meng Zhiyue and asked with concern, "I heard that you were not feeling well yesterday, but are you better?" ”
"Mrs. Xie is worried, but the weakness in the mother's womb has recurred, and it is okay."
"Does this disease matter?"
"The doctor said that as long as it is well maintained in spring and autumn every year, it will not cause cough disease."
"That's good! If you are young, don't fall into the root of the disease. ”
"Yes"
"You have always liked spices, this cough is taboo, why don't you share some with your sisters, it's not a waste."
"Zhiyue has this intention, and I am preparing it today."
“……”
Princess Anping cared for Meng Zhiyue all the way, and the three young ladies and Xianchen didn't say a word, and followed quietly, this status can be said to be clear at a glance. Soon walked through the garden into the main hall, the old lady was still lazily waiting to finish today's ceremony, but when she saw Xianchen come in, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes. Princess Anping led everyone to salute the old lady, and the old lady waved her hand and told everyone to get up and sit down.
The old lady glanced around the crowd and asked, "Why didn't Zhe'er come today?" ”
"In the first few days of the month, he was doing an important errand for His Majesty, and I heard the east wind that he didn't even care about eating in those two days, so he couldn't come to ask his mother to say goodbye, and he came early this morning, but it happened that the old man had something important to do, and he would come over when he was done." Princess Anping glanced at Xianchen unhappily.
Xian Chen unconsciously lowered his head when he heard this, that day he went to Ning Zhe for help, only to know that Ning Zhe went out, but he didn't know that it was the important task ordered by His Majesty, Ning Zhe still asked for a letter and came back to stand beside him in a hurry to help him. Thinking about his snowy appearance that day, my heart was moved again.
The old lady let out an "oh" and asked again, "What's wrong with the nine girls?" The face is so ugly. Everyone looked at a woman in blue, and saw that she was indeed pale and haggard, and that she had a small face with an awl, and she looked a little pitiful.
When the girl in blue heard this, she immediately got up and saluted and replied, "Grandmother Xie cares, but she occasionally feels cold, so it's okay, my mother has already asked the doctor to come and see her." With that, his eyes flickered and he lowered his head.
"Well, a few days ago, Zen Master Yunxiu of Baibi Temple gave me a few volumes of Buddhist scriptures, you can stay and help me copy them later, and it will be good to touch the Buddha's nature." The old lady looked at her granddaughter and said lovingly.
"Mother, she's not feeling well, I'm afraid the Bodhisattva will blame her, so it's better to let Xin'er copy it." Princess Anping gave Ning Luofang a look.
Ning Luotong hurriedly got up and saluted: "Yes! Grandmother, I have been free for these two days, and it is also my blessing to be able to fulfill my filial piety in front of you. ”
"Well, Xin'er is becoming more and more sensible, but your child's blessing is great, unlike your sister's three calamities, it is also your love for your sister to let her come to touch the Buddha nature." After the old lady finished speaking, she didn't wait for Princess Anping to speak, and then said: "These are all trivial matters, and then I will see that there are guests here today." ”
Princess Anping saw that the old lady had to take care of this matter, so she stopped arguing and said with a smile: "Is it? This is the Zhiyue of Duanhe's county lord's family, which you have seen a few times. Zhiyue just told me that she has prepared a gift for you. ”
"Miss Meng has a heart, is your grandmother okay?" The old lady looked at Meng Zhiyue with half-squinted eyes.
"Everything is fine, Mrs. Lao remembers." Meng Zhiyue said that after seeing a rain, Yu'er brought a tray, which was seven sachets, and the orchid jade finger picked up an offering brocade sachet and said gently: "The old lady believes in Buddhism, so I embroidered a white conch on it, and chose agarwood as the lining, I hope the old lady will like it." Then he offered it to the old lady with both hands.
"It's a Buddha child."
"Zhiyue also prepared one for the ladies, don't dislike it." Meng Zhiyue personally handed them to everyone one by one. To the dust gave her a special pattern of sachets, the flowers on the top of the bright red dazzling glamorous and enchanting, only to see the flowers without leaves, the flower body like an umbrella, the inflorescence top, petals like dragon claws, and the beard is born but not connected. Xianchen had never seen this flower, and looked at Meng Zhiyue curiously to trace the source, but bumped into her gentle and radiant gaze.
"Master Hou is here." Hearing the maid at the door reporting it, everyone's eyes looked at the hall door.
Ning turned around like a jade tree and walked slowly, dressed in white without getting dusty, and Meng Zhiyue's eyes couldn't help but follow and slightly lost his mind. Xianchen wanted to smile at her as a sign of politeness, but Ning Zhi didn't even look at her, and walked straight to the old lady.
