012 Ten zhang bead curtain
On the tenth day of Lin Yijia's stay in Xiaokangzhuang, the day after she announced that she had recovered from her illness, the sky finally cleared. After another three days, the extreme cold that had turned into ice melted like ice and snow, turning into muddy water and seeping into the earth.
When the sun rises three poles a day, the temperature of that day seems to suddenly become hot again. Even if people have already taken off their fur and cotton clothes to protect them from the cold, they will sweat after being active under the sun for a long time.
Lin Yijia had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead.
The shuttlecock flew up and down flexibly at her feet, as if it had life. She wore a pigtail and a neat, narrow-legged riding outfit with a pair of deerskin pony boots. Suddenly, she kicked the colorful shuttlecock high and kicked it high, and then spun around a few times, standing on one foot, folding the center of her foot backwards to the sky, and actually caught the shuttlecock falling rapidly from the sky!
There seemed to be endless light in the black and white eyes, and the infinite vitality carried on the red cheeks seemed to overflow. The girl is delicate, and there is a pleasant laughter Qingling Ling crisp and non-stop, which makes people can't help but feel better when they see it, and unconsciously, they love it.
The corners of Mrs. Lin's mouth naturally curved, but she said, "How old is this child, it's really ...... Let you see the joke. ”
Old Madam Qin also smiled, shook her head and said, "What do you say, child, you should be lively." Just look at it and make people like it. ”
"Where." Mrs. Lin said, "My little daughter...... If it's always in the place, the rules are not big, but it's nothing. I saw the capital ...... Alas, you and I both know that all the nobles in this capital are human spirits...... I have the heart to restrain her, but I can't bear to ......."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Originally, in this life, a woman can still be happier when she is a daughter in her mother's house...... But if you don't teach her the twists and turns in the back house, it will hurt her...... It's really not left, and it's not ...... right."
"I don't think your two daughters are very good at teaching. As for the girl, she is still young. You keep her for a few more years, and when she is older in two years, it's not too late to teach......" Old Madam Qin's eyes crooked, hiding the light in her eyes.
The friendship is still shallow, so there are some words that cannot be rushed. It would be a big bad thing to arouse this Feng Shi's vigilance...... Feng Shi was right, the nobles in the capital are all human spirits, not to mention the good ones who have come to prominence.
It's like myself back then. Back then, he married into the lord's family from a businessman, although his husband was not a talented person, he had nothing to be stubborn in his character. After the newlywed, it is also the harmony of the husband and wife. It's just that something happened to the Qin family...... What a job.
Just like Feng back then. Not to mention anything else, it is her ability to defeat so many noble girls and marry a hairpin! Not to mention, the life she lived after marriage was called a comfortable ...... Even if they gave birth to three daughters in a row, they didn't let their husband and wife have more things......
Old Madam Qin pressed the sourness in her heart, shook her head secretly, her eyes wandered among the merlin, and said with emotion: "The weather this year is really weird. It was cold like something a while ago, and it seems to have been hot again in the past two days...... Originally, there was no hope, but this time, I hit a few more buds......"
"That's a rarity...... I'm going to take a look......" Mrs. Lin nodded to Lin Yijia from afar, and left with Mrs. Qin.
It's a rarity indeed.
A while ago, the golden chrysanthemum only bloomed a few, and it was not yet the time when thousands of purples and thousands of reds were in full bloom, and the heavy snow and extreme cold came down, and most of the chrysanthemum plants were frozen to death, not to mention that they could still bloom! Even if you put it in a greenhouse and spend a lot of effort to raise it, I'm afraid it's not very good!
Therefore, when Mrs. Lin saw that the pot of chrysanthemums in front of her was not only very neat in green leaves, but also had three or five buds like pearls and jades, and one of the buds had already spit out half of the stamens and bloomed shyly, she was really surprised!
"You ......" Mrs. Lin recognized it for a while, and said in shock: "Isn't it a ten-zhang bead curtain!" ”
"Sister, good eyesight!" Old Madam Qin gently stroked the pink and white with her bare hands, and her expression revealed a touch of love and pity, and there was a touch of pride under the love.
In the treasure chrysanthemum, after the ten zhang bead curtain flowers open, the flower plate is huge; The outer flowers are pollen white, and the inner flowers are pale yellowish-green; The tube petals are slender and long, hanging like silk like hair, it is originally the same as "green peony" and "ink lotus", it is a treasure in the chrysanthemum.
And these ten-zhang bead curtain plants are generally very weak, and it is extremely difficult to serve. If it is in other years, the weather changes mildly, and this ten-zhang bead curtain will definitely be on the nobleman's mansion in the capital. But this year, the weather is ...... I'm afraid there won't be anything in the palace! Uniquely!
Mrs. Lin held her breath and stared, and she didn't even dare to make a big move to appreciate it, for fear that she would be shocked by this pot of flowers. After a while, she took a step back, exhaled softly, and exclaimed, "It's really rare!" ”
Mrs. Lin turned her head and watched Old Madam Qin slowly water the chrysanthemums with a small silver kettle that was not much bigger than her fist, before she spoke again: "I never knew that my sister still has a pair of wonderful hands!" ”
"It's just boring to pass the time." Old Madam Qin sighed lightly.
Mrs. Lin remembered that she had been widowed for more than ten years, and couldn't help but nod her head. Thinking about it, he felt inappropriate, and comforted: "That's also Mingyuan's filial piety, and he won't let you worry about it!" I heard Xianggong say that Mingyuan is talented and willing to work hard, and at least one Jinshi will not be able to run away in the future. You, your blessings are yet to come! ”
Old Madam Qin also smiled slightly, neither praising her son nor refuting Mrs. Lin, but asked, "Sister, seeing that Yi Yatou's illness has recovered and the weather has become warmer, when do you plan to return to Beijing?" ”
Mrs. Lin was slightly stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "The husband only sent the letter yesterday. The letter said that the heavy snow and extreme cold a while ago caught us off guard, and the disaster inside and outside the capital was very serious, and many poor people froze to death. Under the catastrophe, there is a fear of a major epidemic, and he told us women and children not to rush back to Beijing on the road......"
"That's really...... Alas. Old Madam Qin also sighed heavily.
For a while, the atmosphere was somewhat frozen.
Mrs. Lin came back to her senses and said, "Who would have thought that it was only the beginning of October that there would be such a heavy snowfall? However, in recent years, the weather has been smooth in all parts of Daxian, the border is still stable, and the propritus everywhere is very rich. The imperial court has made great efforts to help, and this disaster will soon pass. ”
Old Madam Qin nodded slightly.
Inside and outside the capital, in the capital of Gyeonggi, how can the imperial court not exert its strength to help. Otherwise, there are many envoys from various countries living in the Quartet...... Emperor Daxian couldn't lose face in front of outsiders.
"However, we didn't have any friendship with Wuxing Houfu, so we can't say that we can always use it here, so we decided to return to Beijing on October 25 after seven days." Mrs. Lin smiled slightly: "I was originally going to tell you." I was just stopped by my sister's pot of chrysanthemums, and I forgot about it for a while. ”
Old Madam Qin also laughed.
She stood in front of the pot of chrysanthemums and smiled: "I invited my sister to come to see this pot of flowers today, and it is also for a purpose." ”
After a pause, she bowed her head and said, "I heard from the servant in Zhuangzi that there was a rumor in Wuxing Houfu that he bought all kinds of chrysanthemums with a lot of money, in order to hold a chrysanthemum banquet at the end of October. I thought, although I was touched by Lord Lin's love, Mingyuan and I also borrowed it for a long time, and I couldn't help but be grateful. And I happen to have such a pot of flowers in my hand......"
"You mean?" Mrs. Lin asked softly.
In previous years, the price of such a pot of ten-zhang bead curtains was three hundred taels of silver...... This year, I'm afraid this price will increase tenfold......
Mrs. Qin said: "I want to ask you, Madame, to give this pot of flowers to Wuxing Houfu on behalf of our mother and son, which can be regarded as a thank you gift for our mother and son." ”
