Chapter 590: The Concubine's Ambition (Parrot)
That night, Shi Liu was about to fall asleep, and Xue Xiuming came over.
So the four women of all sizes in the small courtyard got up and got busy.
Those who prepare tea, those who prepare fans.
After sending the three girls, Xue Xiuming and Shi Liu sat down opposite each other in the inner room to drink tea and chat.
Xue Xiuming opened his mouth first and asked, "What are you busy with today?" ”
"Uncle said with a smile, the concubine has nothing to do except for the morning and dusk province for the lady, where is there anything to be busy with." Shi Liu said casually.
After taking a sip of tea, Xue Xiuming said bluntly: "Did you go to the pavilion in the garden to play the piano this morning?" ”
Shi Liu raised his head and looked at Xue Xiuming in surprise: "How does Uncle know?" ”
"Hehe... Naturally, it was because I was around at that time. After Xue Xiuming finished speaking, he sighed again: "I can't imagine that Qing Niang's piano skills are so superb, why haven't I heard you mention it before?" ”
"It's just a matter of going with the wind, and it can't be eaten. Naturally, I didn't think to tell my uncle. ”
Hearing her say this, Xue Xiuming felt even more pity for her, and he couldn't imagine that the concubine he asked for was a talented woman in addition to her lovely appearance.
It was a bonus.
"I'll have someone bring you a piano tomorrow, what do you like?"
"Then I'm going to thank Uncle first. It's very happy to have a piano, where is there anything you like or dislike. ”
Xue Xiuming grabbed Shi Liu's hand, looked at the calloon on her hand, and said more distressed this time than before: "Your hands can't do that kind of rough work in the future, this should be used to stroke the piano and carry the pen." ”
"Good. Follow the uncle, there are girls to do everything, and I am about to be raised as a waste. ”
"Hehe... How can I follow me and make you suffer again. Tell me, what else do you need, I'll have someone buy it for you all at once. ”
Shi Liu looked at him in surprise and said, "Then I won't be polite to the uncle, can the uncle help me buy a parrot?" ”
Xue Xiuming was quite surprised by her request, but it was just a bird, and it was really nothing to him, so he nodded and agreed.
The two of them chatted about other things, and Xue Xiuming felt that he had really married a treasure this time.
For the first time in my heart, I felt a little guilty that she could only be a concubine.
After all, in his opinion, she knows more than his wife, Zhang Lingxuan.
came, chatted happily, and naturally rested in the courtyard of Shiliu.
Shi Liu floated in the air all night, and the benefits of the 3,000 points prop were reflected, so that she did not feel tired because of the long time away from the soul.
The next morning, I got up early the next morning to wait for Xue Xiuming to put on his clothes, and went to Zhang Lingxuan's courtyard with him.
Xue Xiuming wanted to accompany Zhang Lingxuan's mother and son to dine,
Shi Liu didn't want to wait on the sidelines, so Zhang Lingxuan relieved herself,
came out with Meng Lotus and Lotus Fragrance.
Out of the courtyard, Meng Rongxiang said in a strange manner: "Yo, my sister worked so hard yesterday, I didn't expect to come early this morning, and I'm not afraid of weak legs when I walk all the way?" ”
Shi Liu shook the handkerchief with his right hand, brushed the hair on his ear and said, "No way, young, the recovery ability is a little faster than Sister Meng, no, I don't think it's a problem at all." ”
"You! Hmph, I'm afraid the uncle didn't want you. ”
Hearing this, Shi Liu only left her with a meaningful smile and left with a handkerchief and Yiyi's hand.
"Damn, what do you mean by her?!"
Lian Xiang took the handkerchief and put it to her lips, hid the smile at the corner of her mouth and said, "It's better for Sister Meng to talk about the uncle." ”
After speaking, she didn't wait for her to leave by herself.
She lived in a cross-courtyard with Lu'er, and Meng Rongxiang was also together.
It's just that now her mother has moved out of an independent courtyard because of her son's wealth.
Since we don't live together, it's okay to go separately.
Hum!
Meng Lotus fragrance whirred and went back with her girl.
Halfway through, she naturally thought of the ambiguity of her words, and thought that the uncle's body was not good.
After all, although Aunt Chen's yard was remote last night, she asked for water a few times, and the people in the big kitchen knew it.
Their faces turned pale, and they didn't dare to say this in front of the uncle.
But since then, she has been a little more careful when she speaks.
It's also a good thing for Shiliu to save some daily quarrels.
Not long after she returned to the courtyard, Xue Xiuming's mother, who was waiting, came with something.
A piano, a birdcage covered with a cloth, and a whole set of pen, ink, paper, and inkstones.
After thanking the mother, Shi Liu asked Yiyi to move the piano and pen, ink, paper and inkstone to the west wing, while she herself took the birdcage and hung it under the porch in front of the window of the east wing.
Remove the cloth and get off the stool.
I saw a yellow-green parrot jumping up and down on a wooden pole in the birdcage, flapping its wings from time to time.
Shi Liu looked up: "Hello." ”
"Hello, hello~"
Huang Li and Zijuan both came to see the excitement, and Zijuan was surprised: "Ah, it can speak." ”
Huang Li has seen it: "I've seen it outside before, and I can talk a lot." It's just not as beautiful as this look. ”
"I'm the prettiest!" Parrot said arrogantly.
"Hahaha...... Shame, shame. Zijuan laughed, and scratched his face with his fingers and laughed at Brother Parrot.
Jiuwu had already occupied Brother Parrot's body at this moment, and when he saw Zijuan laughing at it, he flapped his wings and glared at her, "You are ashamed." ”
"Ah, auntie, this parrot is too funny."
Huang Li was also quite surprised: "That's right, this parrot brother is just like a human." ”
Shi Liu knew that it was Ninety-Five, and told it in his mind not to speak beyond the outline, so he didn't care about it.
The yellow bird and the purple cuckoo just kept standing under the porch and teasing the birds.
The news that Aunt Chen, who had just entered the door, had a very spiritual parrot in her courtyard soon spread throughout the Xue Mansion.
It's just that the serious masters above didn't take this matter seriously,
I just thought that the people below were rare and weird, and exaggerated.
As far as Shiliu is concerned, it's better that they don't care.
If you really care, ask her if she wants it, does she give it or not?
However, this attracted Xue Yuanjia, who was only five years old.
I don't know which subordinate mentioned this parrot in front of him, let him take it to heart, and grinded his mother to let him take a look.
Asking a concubine for a bird is something Zhang Lingxuan can't do.
But she said that she wanted to buy a bird for her son because of this, but she was unwilling, for fear that her son would lose his mind because of this plaything.
Therefore, when I asked for peace that morning, Zhang Lingxuan said to Shi Liu: "I heard that my sister has a beautiful parrot, can you take Jia'er to meet her?" ”
"The eldest young master is willing to deign to go, and the concubine naturally can't ask for it." Shi Liu said in a rather excited voice.
Xue Yuanjia got his mother's consent, so he urged Shi Liu to take him to see the bird that he heard was very smart.
