Chapter 35: Xing's Birthday

The maid thought for a moment, then looked around, and whispered, "Miss has a hidden disease, and she will have dark spots on her body when she arrives in this season." ”

Xun Xuan thought for a moment, and then said to the maid: "Go and get the medicine that your young lady has been using to treat dark spots recently." ”

The maid answered, Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong waited outside, and the medicine was placed in the cabinet in the inner room, and it was taken after a while.

Xun Xuan took the medicine, and said to the maid: "It just so happens that I have some dark spots on my body recently, so I simply borrowed the ointment of my eldest cousin, so you can go down first." ”

The maid didn't think much of it, answered, and went out of the house.

Xun Xuan opened the small porcelain bottle containing the medicine, then scraped a small piece of ointment from it with her hand and applied it to the embroidered handkerchief, and handed the handkerchief to Fu Rongrong's hand.

Fu Rongrong took the embroidered handkerchief, twisted her eyebrows and asked, "Do you suspect that there is something wrong with this medicine?" ”

Xun Xuan: "I'm not sure yet, you can find someone to help identify the effect of this medicine, won't everything be clear?" ”

Fu Rongrong stuffed the embroidered handkerchief into her sleeve and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ah Zhi, this matter is wrapped up in my cousin." ”

"Then it's going to trouble my cousin."

After Xun Xuan finished speaking, she called Fang Cai's maid again, handed the porcelain bottle to her, and said in her mouth: "This ointment is very good, I am very comfortable to use, thank you, you can put it back." ”

The two waited in the outhouse for a while, and An Xinyue woke up.

Xun Xuan and Fu Rongrong went in to visit, chatted a few words by the way, and saw that An Anyue was fine, so the two went out of Fanglan Courtyard with An Mingbo.

"Miss Lao Fu cares, you can often come to Anfu when you have time, and it's boring for Ah Zhi to stay alone in the house, you can accompany her more." An Ming blog airway.

Fu Rongrong smiled shyly: "If Gongzi An doesn't say it, I will come often." ”

An Mingbo showed a smile on his face, and looked much gentler: "In this case, it's very good." ”

Xun Xuan sent Fu Rongrong to the door of Anfu, but saw that Fu Rongrong was always shyly and snickering along the way, Xun Xuan guessed in her heart, even if the seventeen-year-old Fu Rongrong is strong in appearance, she is still at the age of getting married, and it is normal for a girl to be pregnant.

When Fu Rongrong came to her senses, she saw Xun Xuan on the side looking at her for a moment, and her face suddenly became unnatural: "What do you think I do?" ”

Xun Xuan smiled playfully and wrapped her arms around Fu Rongrong: "Cousin Fu, my second cousin has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he looks upright and handsome, are you satisfied with it?" Why don't you ask your cousin to draw a red line for you? ”

When Fu Rongrong heard Xun Xuan's words, her face immediately turned red to the root of her ears, and she said half-shy and half-angry: "You know how to tease me and ignore you!" ”

After saying that, Fu Rongrong hurriedly entered the sedan chair at the door with broken steps.

"Goodbye, Cousin Fu!" Xun Xuan stood on the steps and said loudly.

Fu Rongrong lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, the shyness on her face had receded, and she glared at Xun Xuan with a tense face: "If you dare to talk nonsense, be careful that I kill you!" ”

Xun Xuan grinned happily, as if she could see Fu Rongrong's mind at a glance.

Fu Rongrong put down the sedan curtain with a weak heart, and the sedan chair gradually walked away and disappeared around the corner.

……

Seeing that Mrs. Xing's birthday was approaching, Xun Xuan hurried and finally made the Bodhisattva statue on the night of three days before her birthday.

It was late at night, and Qu You was already tired after embroidering the Buddhist scriptures, so he dozed off on the table.

When Xun Xuan came out of the back room, she saw the embroidered cloth embroidered with Buddhist scriptures and slept on the lid of the incense burner by the wind at some point.

Xun Xuan walked over and picked up the embroidered cloth, and when she looked closer, her brows were tightly locked.

Why did the original glittering Buddhist scriptures suddenly become so dull? It's not even as good as an ordinary embroidery?

Qu You, who was on the side, also woke up at this time, and when he saw the Buddhist scriptures in Xun Xuan's hand, his face suddenly changed with fright: "This ...... How can this be? “

"Sure enough, there is a problem......" Xun Xuan twisted the embroidered cloth and muttered.

"Miss...... It's all the slave's fault, the slave shouldn't be dozing! ”

Xun Xuan exhaled lightly and comforted slowly: "I believe in your embroidery, it's not your fault." It's that there's something wrong with the embroidery thread. ”

"Embroidery thread...... This embroidery thread was given by Miss San! It must be the third lady who wants to frame her! Miss, let's go and settle accounts with her! Qu You was completely confused, this is a birthday gift for the old lady, how can she afford it if something goes wrong?

"What if you go? Not to mention...... This embroidery was sent in her name, she knew that the embroidery was not good, so she came to me for help, just to please the old lady, how could she deliberately design to embarrass herself? Xun Xuan said.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, how can this be good? There are three days left for the old lady's birthday, and it will be too late to embroider again! Qu Youyu was about to cry.

While speaking, Xun Xuan has been observing the embroidery in her hand, but found that the original dull embroidery thread has gradually regained its former brilliance.

Qu You's face also became surprised: "Miss, why did this change back?" ”

Xun Xuan's face was slightly gloomy, and she handed the embroidery in her hand to Qu You: "Good life for safekeeping, and send it to the third lady's Fuliuju tomorrow." ”

Qu You looked at Xun Xuan puzzled: "Just send it over?" What if Miss San finds out and investigates? ”

"As long as it's not close to something hot, it won't change color." Xun Xuan paused for a moment, and only lightly instructed Qu You, "Do what I say, don't show flaws!" ”

"Yes."

……

Early the next morning, Qu You sent the Buddhist scriptures to Fuliuju according to Xun Xuan's instructions, and Qi Yin followed Xun Xuan to Mrs. Xing's Chunxiang Pavilion.

When Xun Xuan passed, Mrs. Xing was chanting, and she waited in the outhouse for a while before Mrs. Xing came out.

"Ah Zhi didn't come at the wrong time, disturbing her grandmother's enlightenment." Xun Xuan stepped forward to help.

Old Madam Xing smiled: "I'm an old bone, I'm idle all the time, it's good if you can come and see me." ”

Xun Xuan: "My grandmother is dedicated to reciting Buddhism, and it is very good to have no distractions, but don't be too frugal in dressing, I see that my grandmother's clothes are too plain, unlike Aunt Jiang's mother-in-law who wears gold and silver all day long, but she shows her wealth." ”

Old Madam Xing patted the back of Xun Xuan's hand and said with a smile: "I know you care about me, but I have been fasting and reciting Buddha for many years, and I have long been out of sight of those things outside my body." ”

"That's what I said, but in two days it will be your birthday, and if a guest comes to the house to see you in plain clothes, people will only think that your uncle is unfilial and treats you badly, and it won't sound good to spread it." Xun Xuan said slowly.

Old Madam Xing listened to it, but she also felt that what she said made sense: "But in this moment, I'm afraid it's too late to make new clothes." ”

Xun Xuan smiled, and already had an idea in her heart: "Grandmother, don't worry, Ah Zhi has already thought about it for you, the material of this dress on your body is good, but it is a little less embellishment, and it looks plain, Ah Zhi thinks...... It would be nice to be able to embroider some patterns on it. ”

Old Madam Xing was curious: "What pattern does Ah Zhi plan to embroider?" Those bells and whistles are unacceptable, and they look tacky. ”

"This ......" Xun Xuan thought for a moment, then replied, "The lotus flower is a Buddha flower, out of the mud and not stained, the temperament is refined, what does my grandmother think of the lotus?" ”

The old lady is dedicated to cultivating Buddhism, and if she can embroider a lotus flower on her clothes, it will better reflect her sincerity in cultivating Buddhism, and she will be happy.

"I happen to have some gold and silver threads sent by my third cousin there, which match the color of the old lady's body, and it also looks rich." Xun Xuan said.

Mrs. Xing was very happy: "Okay, okay, then do as Ah Zhi said, it's only three days, won't it be too rushed?" ”

"Grandmother rest assured, embroidering a few lotus flowers, three days is more than enough."

……

Three days later, Mrs. Xing's birthday came as scheduled, and many dignitaries from the Beijing Division came, even Taishi Zhu Wei and Zhao Wang Jingying also came.

"I wish the Taishi a congratulatory gift, a pair of enamel color baby plays!"

"King Zhao's congratulatory gift, a silver silk double buckle bracelet!" A subordinate chanted.

The arrival of Zhu Taishi and King Zhao really gave the entire Anfu a lot of face.

As early as the time when Ansheng was promoted to a banquet, everyone had already seen Zhu Taishi, and everyone didn't think it was unusual to come to celebrate his birthday this time, but how noble is the identity of King Zhao Jingying? That was the only regent who could argue with Empress Dowager Xun back then.

Although the emperor is now pro-government, and King Zhao also returned to power in person in front of hundreds of civil and military officials, but in the entire Great Wei is still the existence of more than 10,000 people under one person.

But he actually came in person! What does this mean exactly?

Everyone present had to think about it, could it be that King Zhao was planning to win over the Hubu Shangshu? But hasn't Ansheng already attached to Zhu Taishi?

Thinking about it back and forth, everyone still couldn't figure it out, and they became more and more worried in their hearts, and the people who were officials in the court were most afraid that the group of people above would do something strange, so that people couldn't find a clue.

There are An Sheng and An Jinwen in the front hall to entertain guests, and the backyard is the world of the Liu family, and the ladies and ladies of each house are accompanied by the Liu family to celebrate the birthday of Mrs. Xing.

Mrs. Xing was happy today, her mouth was closed with a smile, and several girls from Anfu presented the prepared congratulatory gifts one by one.

Anxin Moon sent a string of jade Buddha beads.

An Xuehan also sent a string of glass Buddha beads.

Neither of them expected to be heavy, but because Anxinyue was sent first, they took the lead, An Xuehan felt a little uncomfortable, Anxinyue and An Xuehan were both Anfu's daughters, just because Anxinyue was one year older than her, so they pressed her in everything.

An Xuehan has never been a person who is willing to be subservient, and there is a bit of sarcasm between her words: "I said that I asked the eldest sister about the congratulatory gift prepared for my grandmother that day, but you refused to tell me, but it turned out that it was because of the collision with my congratulatory gift, did the eldest sister deliberately want me to embarrass me?" ”

When An Xuehan said this, she still had a disguised smile on her face, and although her voice was not loud, the girls from Anfu who were standing together could hear it clearly.
