Chapter 171: Jewelry

The next morning, I couldn't sleep in bed at night, looking at the sky blue brocade tent a little distracted, and I didn't know what he was doing.

Poria and Bai Shao pushed the door in, and when they caught a glimpse of Zhiwan glaring at the gauze tent, it was a little funny, the prince of the county was not the gauze tent, and he stared at it in vain, poor gauze tent is the most innocent!

Bai Shao put down the copper basin in his hand, took the clothes hanging on the shelf, and asked, "It was hot last night, can the princess sleep peacefully?" ”

Zhiwan yawned lightly, and there was a little lazy who had just woken up, last night was hot, and there were bursts of insects and birds at night, so he was even more irritable, but fortunately, he put an ice basin in the house and barely fell asleep.

After getting dressed, Zhiwan walked towards the dresser, Poria looked at the ice basin and swallowed, "I really want to eat ice cream, can I eat it today?" ”

Zhiwan drew her eyebrows in the mirror, looked at the bronze mirror and pushed the white peony, and asked her to intercede, Zhiwan was funny, "Make more, please eat the girls in the house." ”

Poria nodded again and again, she has lost several pounds in the heat these days, and she has no appetite for anything, she only dares to say this in her heart, she ate the most when she went shopping yesterday.

Bai Xiang brought in the lotus seed soup and asked Zhiwan to eat some first, for fear that when she went to Shou'an Courtyard, the old lady had not gotten up yet, and she was hungry.

Zhiwan was eating lotus seed soup, Poria cocos stood aside, and saw the oath on Bai Xiang's head with sharp eyes, how to look familiar, and suddenly realized, "Your headdress?" ”

Bai Xiang touched the hairpin and giggled, "The princess bought such a bunch of hairpins yesterday, I am quick to go, and I grabbed this hairpin early, you go quickly, otherwise you won't be able to pick the one you like for a while." ”

Poria pretended to be angry and took a sip of cypress. dragged Bai Shao out to pick up hairpins, and outside Yao's mother came in and said, "There are one hundred and twenty hairpins bought by the princess of Er County yesterday, but there are more than 300 maids in the house. If they are not enough, they are no different from girls, and it is not good to favor one over the other. ”

Zhiwan finished the cold lotus seed soup in three or two bites, and said with a smile, "Wait a little longer." ”

After Zhiwan finished speaking, a little maid came in and said, "Manager Su asked someone to send a big box, saying that the girl of the Zhao family was ignorant and robbed the princess of the county, and now the original thing is returned." ”

These things were supposed to be delivered yesterday afternoon. It's just that it took a lot of time for those hawkers to pack up, so it was delayed, and the Zhao family didn't dare to deliver it to the door at night, and they were afraid that they would wait for a long time, so they would send it early.

What's inside. How many, I know it clearly, "The headdress in the box is enough for each maid in the Su Mansion to pick three pieces, as well as rouge gouache, let's divide them together." ”

Bai Xiang heard that there were three pieces, glanced at Zhiwan, and took the lotus seed soup bowl on the table. ran out of the way, Yao's mother laughed and scolded when she saw it, "I really like the things I robbed, I rewarded them with so many headdresses before, and I didn't see them happy like this." ”

Zhuxiang shook her head and answered, "Mr. said." It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, and it's really good to be good for everyone. ”

Zhiwan was almost swallowed to death by saliva, the corners of his mouth twitched, and Mr. Mo Fei also crossed over, "Which gentleman taught?" ”

"It's the female gentleman who invited the second girl to teach them. The slave and maid passed by yesterday and happened to hear it. ”

Yao's mother smiled when she heard this, "This gentleman has a good heart. ”

Zhiwan smiled silently, got up and walked out of the door, surrounded by a group of maids outside, Poria loudly maintained order, "Don't rob, come one by one, the princess of the county said, everyone can pick at least three things, if anyone robs, she will be confiscated!" ”

This voice came out, the scene was quiet all of a sudden, almost in the blink of an eye, an orderly team appeared, Poria cocos, white peony, cypress and bamboo incense stood there, let the maids step forward one by one, one person picked three things, not many takes, and then took an additional box of rouge, which one is which, not allowed to pick and choose.

The team was quiet and orderly, Bai Shao asked Bai Xiang and Zhu Xiang to divide half of the jewelry and rouge to go outside the Peony Garden, and pick them up for the little guys, after all, the Peony Garden is the residence of the princess of the county, and they can't come in.

Zhiwan took Yao's mother to the Shou'an Courtyard, the old lady had already gotten up, Mrs. Su and Su Xue were also there, today's house was a little weird, it was Su Xue and Su Yu who served tea and water, and Su Rou was helping the old lady play a fan.

Mrs. Su looked out of the door several times and twisted her brows, "Where have all these maids gone, as soon as they go out, they disappear, does it take so long to serve a meal?" ”

Outside, Mother Zhou came in with food, shook her head and smiled helplessly, "As soon as these maids heard that Peony Yuan could lead the headdress, they ran away, and all the work of serving vegetables was lost to the slave maid, old lady, you have to reward the slave maid well." ”

It was such a big thing, how could the old lady and Mrs. Su not know, it was really that when those maids heard such news, the first thing they thought of was not to make a notice, but to hurry up and queue up.

The old lady first laughed, then laughed, and rewarded Zhou's mother with a jasper hairpin, Zhou's mother laughed, and Mrs. Su glanced at Zhiwan, "There are hundreds of maids and wives in the house, everyone is rewarded?" ”

Zhiwan nodded his head, "Not all of those jewelry were bought by me, they were sent by the Zhao family, and it was useless for me to keep them, so I sent two for each person." ”

Mrs. Su knew about the affairs of the Zhao family, and she admired the means of punishing people at night, but she endured it for more than half an hour, so that the Zhao family lost so much, but I was afraid that she couldn't sleep peacefully last night.

Yao's mother went to help Zhou's mother bring food, and on this day, it was the only meal that the old lady and Mrs. Su ate without a maid to serve them.

When they finished eating, the maids who were waiting in the house came back happily, but they were not worried about being punished, the princess of the county reward was a happy event, and if she didn't fight for it, wouldn't it not give the princess of the county face?

When I entered the door, I first said goodbye, and then thanked Zhiwan, and the old lady saw that they had three hairpins in their hands, including gold, silver and wood, as well as hairpins and rouge, and their heads were a little dizzy, which was no less than ten taels of silver, right?

There are more than 500 people in the house, and there are more than 500 people, that is, 5,000 taels of silver...... If it falls on the juniors of the Su family, the old lady will definitely scold the loser. But when it was Zhiwan's turn, and then he thought about how these things came about, and he smiled.

Mrs. Su was also speechless, "Isn't it that the headdress and rouge on Yongzhou Street were all bought by the girls of the Zhao family, right?" ”

Su Rou nodded repeatedly. Laughing tooth and eye, she likes to watch Zhao Ruer eat deflated, she used to think she was arrogant, but now, I think she must have forgotten to bring her brain with her when she goes out, she is hopelessly stupid, "Even if you don't have all, there are more than half of it, and there are more jewelry sellers on that street, these days." Shopping isn't that much fun anymore. ”

Su Yi covered her mouth and smiled, grabbed the old lady's arm, and said, "The fourth sister's mouth is really good, fortunately, the girl of the Zhao family is not here." Otherwise, he will be half angry. ”

Su Rou pouted unhappily, looking very aggrieved by accusations, "What I said is the truth, and I didn't distort it, those little jasper who went to the street to buy jewelry must be angry with their feet." ”

Su Yu hurriedly apologized, and Su Rou giggled. "I have suffered such grievances a few times before I am happy."

Outside, Mr. Su came in wiping beads of sweat and panting, "Mrs. Li and Master Li have been waiting at the door for a long time, and there is no little girl to carry a soft sedan chair. Young Master Li couldn't get in. ”

Needless to say, the little guys also lined up to lead the headdress, and those who received it would definitely not be able to send it home in time to hand it over to their mother, or they would gather together. Thinking about marrying a daughter-in-law, who can take care of carrying a soft sedan chair?

Zhiwan was a little embarrassed and sneered, she didn't expect that these maids couldn't wait like this, and they simply messed up the Su Mansion.

Mrs. Su didn't dare to laugh, so she got up and said, "I'll go to the door to greet you, and I've almost received the headdress at this hour." ”

At the time of a cup of tea, Mrs. Su brought people in, and Li Sixun was helped in by the little maid Yinbao, one leg was bouncing, and even the old lady's eyes didn't dare to look at it.

The old lady knew that Li Sixun had lost a foot, but she had never seen it, and when she looked at it now, she was muttering in her heart, can Zhiwan's medical skills really cure it?

The old lady didn't let Li Sixun salute, and directly let the little servant help him to sit down, Li Sixun was a little embarrassed, he couldn't even salute the elders.

After Mrs. Li greeted the old lady, she saluted Zhiwan again, Zhiwan nodded with a smile, got up and walked towards Li Sixun, looked at his face, and said with a smile, "It's really a lot better than before." ”

Outside, Poria and Bai Peony brought a box in, and the maid brought two stools, and after the box was placed, listening to Zhiwan's instructions, Poria opened the box.

After seeing the contents of the box, everyone gasped several times, originally everyone was curious, what was in the box, guessing whether it was the princess's medicine box, who would have thought that it was a leg!

Li Sixun and Mrs. Li also stared at each other, and saw that Zhiwan took one casually and played with it in his hand, the elasticity and workmanship were very good.

This is a prosthetic limb made of beef tendons, like Li Sixun, in modern times, it is easy to install prostheses, but unfortunately this is ancient, the conditions do not allow, and the evening can only be replaced by cow tendons, but fortunately, the effect is not bad.

In front of everyone, Zhiwan helped Li Sixun install a prosthetic, and it was soon better, Yinbao thought that his young master's legs could grow, so he brought shoes and socks, although he was a little disappointed with the prosthesis, but it looked no different from the real one, and it made no difference when he put on shoes and socks.

Li Sixun tried to stand up, Yinbao helped him walk a few steps, and said later, "Let him walk by himself, and when he gets used to it, even running will not be a problem." ”

Yinbao was a little worried, afraid that Li Sixun would fall and lose face, but if he knew that it was late, he didn't dare not listen, Li Sixun nodded at Yinbao, moved his steps carefully, and started a few steps because he was worried, he couldn't let go, and he walked a little crookedly, but after walking a few steps, Li Sixun's eyes lit up, he didn't expect to be reborn with a broken leg, as long as he could walk, he was satisfied.

After more than a dozen steps, Li Sixun walked freely, Mrs. Li wiped her tears with joy, and wanted to kneel down for Zhiwan, but Zhiwan stopped her, pointing to the big box and said, "There are nine prosthetic legs in it, which is enough for Master Li to live to seventy or eighty." ”

Mrs. Su looked at Li Sixun left and right, but she lost some weight, and she couldn't see anything else, as long as she could walk and run, she was relieved, and besides, with this kindness, Xue'er married into the Li family, how could the Li family dare to bear her?

Li Sixun hadn't been shopping for half a year, and now that his legs could walk, he was a little impatient, and he said a word of great gratitude, and then bowed respectfully to the old lady, smiled at Su Xue, and stepped out of the door. Mrs. Li was both happy and disgusted when she saw it, "I didn't go out when I pulled him before, but now it's fine, no need to shout." Runs faster than anything else. ”

Mrs. Su said with a smile, "Xun'er has a wide range of friends and likes to be lively, it's really embarrassing for him to hold it for so long." ”

Mrs. Li wiped her tears with a handkerchief, pulled Mrs. Su to sit down, and mentioned the family affair between Su Xue and Li Sixun, "Xun'er's leg is injured like that, and the Su family has never withdrawn from the family, this affection." I remember it in my heart, now that Xun'er can go, and Xue'er is not young, I wonder if I am more happy than happy and handle the family affairs of the two of them as soon as possible. You and I should hug our grandchildren as soon as possible. ”

Mrs. Su thought it was good, although she was reluctant to give up her daughter, but her daughter was older, and sooner or later she was going to get married, so she looked at the old lady, and the old lady held Si'er in her arms and said with a smile. "If you can't bring your great-grandson to see me next year, don't enter the gate of the Su family."

Mrs. Li covered her mouth with a handkerchief, she really liked Su Xue, her daughter-in-law, she had been hired before, and then she sent an invitation to the courtesy. It is precisely because of the six ceremonies that the Su family resolutely disagrees with the withdrawal of relatives.

Besides, Su Xue ran away with a red face, and Su Rou and Su Yu listened for a while, and then went to the yard to find Su Xue. Tell her about the things in the house, Su Rou looked at Su Xue teasingly, "I have turned over the yellow calendar, Ming'er Li Mansion will send a request to Lilly, and get married within a month, except for the twenty-sixth of this month, it will be the eighth day of the next month, you will definitely not be able to do it on the eighth day of the first month, that is twenty-six, I hope my cousin will not return to Beijing." ”

Su Xue's face became more and more red, chasing Su Rou to fight, and after chasing her, she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, and happened to meet Su Ang entering the door, Su Ang couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me quickly, how did my cousin get Si Xun back on his feet, and now the whole Yongzhou is crazy." ”

Su Rou giggled, "Big brother, it doesn't matter how the young master of the Li family stood up, the important thing is that the second sister is about to get married, big brother, the big sister has already married, now it's the turn of the second sister, why are you marrying the eldest sister?" ”

Su Rou said, Yuan Bao gave her a look in the back, but Su Rou didn't see it at all, and asked stupidly, "Yuan Bao, do you have eye cramps?" ”

Yuan Bao sighed a little, the four girls are stupid, which pot is not opened, which pot is not opened, the young master is really in love with the girl of Anfu, but when he is not married, he has no fate, and he is distressed in his heart, and he still said that, isn't this sprinkling salt on the young master's heart?

Su Yi and Su Xue reacted, seeing that Su Ang's face had not changed, and they were still smiling, blessing Su Xue and Li Sixun, but they could feel that his eyes were a little dim.

When Su Ang walked away, Su Rou shrunk her neck, her nose choked and she wanted to cry, and her eyes were red, "I hate the girl of the An family, if you promise someone, you should stay in the house and prepare for marriage. ”

Su Yi also sighed, "My cousin can make Young Master Li, who has a broken leg, walk, I don't know if I can prepare potion to make my eldest brother forget the girl of the An family?" ”

Su Rou pouted and said hatefully, "It's really not good, just grab the girl from the An family!" Like a cousin-in-law and a prince of the county, didn't they both give birth to a pair of children before they became relatives? ”

Su Rou said calmly, but her voice was low, although Zhiwan's family affairs were talked about, but they did not conform to the etiquette system, there were still many people who despised them behind their backs, what their cousin could do, they didn't dare, and not all men were as affectionate and righteous as the prince of the county, consistently, and they didn't know how much they abandoned from the beginning, and they didn't have the courage to test.

Su Yu patted Su Rou's head gently, "Do your best to have some bad ideas, that's the second young master of the Xinguo Mansion, it's not a casual family, when my cousin and the prince of the county meet, one is unmarried and the other is unmarried, how can it be the same?" ”

Su Rou's dead duck was stiff-mouthed, "How do you know that when the prince of the county met his cousin, he didn't have a marriage contract, maybe he did." ”

"The prince of the county has a gold medal for avoiding death, he can confidently refuse to marry, throw the county lord in the sedan chair, turn his head and leave, how many people dare in the Dayue Dynasty, and even in the past dynasties?"

“…… Then why don't you ask the prince of the county to help the eldest brother rob? ”

“…… Forget it, you might as well play while you go. ”

Su Rou's face suddenly turned red, Su Yi and Su Xue didn't take her to play with her, they couldn't help but stomp their feet, lifted their skirts and ran into the house, almost bumping into Zhiwan who was going out.

Zhiwan saw that her eyes were red and very sad, so she hurriedly wiped her with a handkerchief, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhiwan has lived in the Su family for so many days, but I have never seen the Su family sisters quarrel and blush, they are all petty fights, and the relationship is intimate, Mrs. Su treats the two of them like concubines, and the aunts in the house are also quiet and self-conscious, not noisy or noisy. This is required by the rules of the Su family, the Su family has a big business, and it can't withstand the battle between the concubines, so the head of the Su family can choose his own daughter-in-law. The concubines of the head of the family were all selected with the help of his mother-in-law, and the head of the Su family did not have that right.

Because of this, the Su family is the most stable inner courtyard that Zhiwan has ever seen, and those aunts are obediently staying in the courtyard, and Zhiwan has never seen them until now.

Su Rou sobbed, pulling Zhiwan's cloud sleeves, like an injured deer, "Just now I accidentally said the wrong thing in front of my eldest brother and sprinkled salt on his wound, and the second and third sisters stopped taking me to play." Cousin, can you help me come up with an idea? ”

Zhiwan listened carefully, listening to Su Rou's words, okay, she also wanted to ask her to play aside. Can her idea be a little more rancid?

However, Zhiwan really had the idea of fulfilling Su Ang and An Ran, but the premise is that the two are in love, don't turn around half a circle in the end, it is Su Ang's wishful thinking, then it will be a joke.

Seeing that Zhiwan didn't speak, Su Rou couldn't help but ask again, "Cousin." Do you have a solution? ”

Zhiwan smiled, "It's not difficult to withdraw from your family, but does the girl from Anfu like your eldest brother?" ”

“…… I should like it, the eldest brother wants to be good-looking, and talented. is still the young head of the Su family, who is righteous and bold, will she not like it? ”

Poria stroked her forehead when she heard this, "Radish and cabbage have their own love, in case people don't like radish or cabbage." I like pickles. ”

Knowing that the night is broken, is there an analogy like her, she glanced at Poria cocos, "In the future, you will eat less pickles and more vegetables!" ”

Poria blushed with shame, stomped her feet, ran away with her skirt, and turned around and added when she walked away, "The slave has gone to make ice cream." ”

Ice cream, hearing these three words, Su Rou's eyes sparkled, and the tears that lingered at the bottom of her eyes disappeared without a trace in an instant, "Cousin, is the ice cream that Poria is talking about, is it the ice cream that is famous in Kyoto, known as the first ice cream to quench your thirst?" ”

One moment crying sadly, the next moment swallowing saliva, this is a typical image of foodies.

Zhiwan didn't know that ice cream was so famous, and after staying in Su Mansion for a few days, she was a little lonely, and Leng Shi and Leng Mu didn't tell her, "Where did you hear about ice cream?" ”

Su Rou giggled, "After the eldest brother returned home, I dragged the eldest brother to tell interesting things about Kyoto, he said ice cream, I want him to bring some back next time, the eldest brother is unwilling, why didn't the eldest brother say that the cousin would, I was hungry for several days, I should have sprinkled a large salt cube just now." ”

In fact, he didn't blame Su Ang, he didn't know that Zhiwan ice cream was made, thinking that it was made by the chef of the palace, if Zhiwan would, why didn't he make it along the way? When it comes to eating, no one can eat it better than Zhiwan and a few maids.

Su Rou swallowed her saliva, saw Su Xue and Su Yi drinking tea at the pavilion, and hurriedly trotted over, "Tell you two good news." ”

Su Yu glanced at Su Rou, "Where did you get the good news to tell us?" ”

Su Rou pouted and went back, "Of course it's from my cousin, my cousin promised that if the eldest brother and Miss An were in love, she would help, and my cousin agreed, can it still be done?" Then there is the delicious food, which you have never eaten. ”

Su Xue was also convinced of Zhiwan's ability, she said that helping, that would definitely be possible, she would be happy, and naturally hoped that the eldest brother who loved her the most would also be happy, and after the joy, her attention was on the food, "What is delicious?" ”

"I've only heard of it, I haven't eaten it yet, I'm going to be the first to eat it!"

After speaking, she ran out of the pavilion directly, and wanted to go to the Peony Garden to squat, Su Yi and Su Xue stroked her forehead, she didn't teach her the rules for a few days, she returned everything she had learned before to Mama Li, and saw that Mama Li didn't beat her hand.

Su Rou waited in the pavilion of the Peony Garden for half an hour, watching the four maids go in and out, that is, the food came out, that was anxious, fortunately, it didn't take long for Su Xue and Su Yi to come over to accompany her to guard, and promised not to rob her.

Poria is in a good mood today, she found the feeling of being the first maid in the Su family, wherever she goes, no matter how old or young she is, she will call her Sister Poria Cocos, Poria girl, she has a lot of face, and when she is in a good mood, she can't wait to dig out her heart and lungs to people, no, there are many portions of ice cream.
