Wan Ran Yuan

Today is a little lively, because the young lady of the courtyard was named the county lord of Qingming, and the subordinates followed the light, Qi Shangshu specially said that he picked two capable maids to serve the county lord.

There were more than a dozen girls standing outside the courtyard, and Qi Shu meant that only two were accepted, which was too noisy.

I didn't want to accept a new maid, she was used to being at ease, and she didn't plan to replace Xiao Tao, but Qi Shangshu was a little disgusted that Xiao Tao was ignorant, so she had no choice but to send her to the outer courtyard to serve. At Qi Shu's request, he bought two new maids from the people outside.

To say that the house slaves sold by this person's teeth are also divided into three, six, nine and so on, those sinners' heirs naturally can't have them, and low-level slaves from foreign countries can't be wanted, and finally Qi Shangshu picked and arranged to select two white-born women from good people's families and arranged them in.

Qi Shu likes it, and Qi Shangshu also likes it, because Qi Shu still listens to him.

The two maids in apricot dresses knocked on Qi Shu's door, and only pushed the door in after Qi Shu's response.

Qi Shu, who was light, was sitting at the table with a poetry book to read, and when he read the poems of his predecessors, he felt comfortable and contented.

The pride in his chest suddenly made him want to pick up a pen and write, so he stood up and said to the two maids standing by the door. "Which of you can grind ink?" Qi Shu's interest was high.

"Miss, it's raining outside again, I'll get you clothes and put them on." "Miss, I'll grind the ink, I'll grind it for you."

The two maids answered separately, one of them walked lightly to Qi Shu's side and took the initiative to grind it, while the other took a lake-blue cloak and stood behind Qi Shu to put it on her.

"Huh? Is it raining outside? Qi Shu, who was standing on the shore, pushed the window open, and she immediately closed the window again when the cold wind blew and startled.

The two maids couldn't help but snicker when they saw it, the county lord was so cute.

"Laugh at something, don't laugh!" Then gently opened half of the window, the slightly cold wind blew the paper on the table, feeling the cold and humid feeling, Qi Shu felt a lot more comfortable, as if he was exhaling turbidity.

"Miss watch out for your body, the wind chill is just right, you need to pay more attention."

"Well, what's the name of you two?"

"The slave is nameless." "The slave is nameless for the time being."

The ink-grinding maid raised her head and said to Qi Shu, "Miss, we were just selected by Master Shangshu, and we haven't been named yet. ”

The maid who put on Qi Shu's cloak also smiled and nodded, seeing that the master who was about to serve seemed to be a good talker, and the heart that was in her throat also fell.

"Do you want to use the old name, or do you want to say goodbye to the past?" Qi Shu has always had only a maid like Xiao Tao by his side, and he doesn't like to use servants, so he doesn't know much about these.

The two maids looked at each other twice, and said in unison, "Please give the name of the young lady." ”

"Alright, let me think about it." Qi Shu pondered for a long time, and a name like Yin Ziyan, red peach, and willow green floated in his head, and he felt a little cheesy.

At this time, the maid who had sharpened the ink for Qi Shu had already polished the ink and stood aside obediently.

Qi Shu glanced at her ink twice, and felt that it was very well polished, and couldn't help but be curious: "Have you learned?" ”

The maid smiled shyly and said, "My father usually likes to dance and ink, and I often wait by the side, so I will also order, it's nothing."

"In this case, I see you as elegant and elegant, and you are good at grinding ink, so it is called ink bamboo."

"Write Miss Letter's name." The maid who grinded the ink was a little happy, the ink bamboo, when she was grinding the ink, she also saw the green bamboo outside the young lady's window, it was so good, she liked the name.

"Miss, what about me, what about me?" The maid who took the cloak for Qi Shu saw that the one who came in with her had already given her a name, and the name was very good, and she wanted to have it too. "I know how to embroider and do housework, and I can also read and write."

"Don't worry, wait for me to think about it." Seeing this maid's eyes looking at her, Qi Shu couldn't help but feel funny. Looking at the age of these two, they are similar to Qi Shu, and they have some children's temperament.

"Green orange, how's that?"

The maid said "ah", a little hesitant, why is her name Mozhu so elegant, why is her name Green Orange? The green oranges are sour and sour, and they don't sound good.

Qi Shu looked at this girl with everything written on her face, knowing that she was naïve that she didn't have any scheming, but this ink bamboo was deep and subtle, and she was thoughtful.

"A good year must be remembered!"

"It's orange, yellow, orange and green!" The two maids said in unison, this is a popular poem, and they naturally know how to memorize it.

"So, satisfied?" Qi Shu said with a smile.

Tangerine, green! I see!

"Miss Xie." Two tones.

"Miss, the ink is polished and ready to use." Mozhu spread out the paper and laid it out, waiting for Qi Shu to write.

"Miss, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, we can go out to play."

When Qi Shu was about to write something, he thought of the agreement with Ning Ze when he heard the Shangyuan Festival, and couldn't help but shake his head and wave away his extra thoughts.

After Qi Shu finished writing, she left the bookcase and called the two girls she had newly received to the tea table.

Mozhu and Green Tangerine glanced at each other, knowing that this was to establish rules, Green Tangerine was the most weak-hearted, and he was really a little carried away just now, not as calm as Mozhu.

"You don't have to worry, I don't like to call anyone, you can usually do most of the affairs by yourself, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want in my yard." After a pause, Qi Shu's demeanor as he sat was very intimidating.

"Yes, miss."

"I want you to be polite and respectful. Don't come out in anything, keep a low profile, always pay attention to your words and deeds when you are outside, don't cause trouble, I will naturally not treat you poorly. ”

"Yes, miss."

"Green orange will help me buy the items I need for the Shangyuan Festival tomorrow, I want to leave the house, Mozhu will go and put away the rice paper I just wrote, and put it in the dark compartment under the bookcase, and then the two of you will go to the house to get familiar with it, I don't need you to serve here for the time being."

"Yes, miss." In this way, they settled down in the Wanran Garden of the eldest lady of Qi Mansion.

Mo Zhu saw Qi Shu returning to the bed to rest, so he went to the bookcase to clean up the words that Qi Shu had just written.

"Don't listen to the sound of the forest beating the leaves, why not chant and walk slowly. Bamboo cane shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid? A cloud of smoke and rain is Ren Ping's life. The steep spring breeze blows the wine and wakes up, slightly cold, and the mountain is obliquely shining but welcomes. Looking back at the bleak place, there is no wind and rain and no sunshine. ”

Signed in the lower right corner: Mr. Ukiyo.

The word for Dongpo?

It's a little interesting, is it thinking about seeing the rain? Will that be the case? Open-minded, no sorrow or joy, is it possible to be a sober person?

Mo Zhu didn't dare to delay too much, and after the ink was dry, he carefully received it into the dark compartment that Qi Shu said, and then prepared to go out to find the green orange to meet.

In other words, Green Tangerine was ordered to prepare things for the Shangyuan Festival, but she was born in a small family, and she didn't know what the situation was in this high-ranking family, and what things to prepare, so she had to ask the housekeeper when she turned around.

When it comes to the Shangyuan Festival, the most exciting and well-prepared is naturally Ning Ze.

He hadn't forgotten that Qi Shu said that he would invite him to eat and drink, and he was waiting for it to be a sunny day after the rain, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village.

It's so nice that I clap my hands when I sleep at night.

The incident in the palace made him see more of Qi Shu's face, if it was something she didn't want to do, she wouldn't want to. This also strengthened his mind, the twisted melon is not sweet, and the cow must not drink the cow's head without drinking water.

Tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, Ning Ze pushed all the political affairs the day before, and wholeheartedly prepared the plan to celebrate the festival, although Qi Shu simply said that he would invite him to eat and drink, but eating wine is equivalent to two people being alone, so if you are alone, you will naturally have to do something, otherwise you will be afraid that she will be restrained.

Although Qi Shu also said at that time that he would invite Prince Ji Nan, Ning Ze had already acquiesced that he was sick that day. Ji Nan, who was passively sick, was very helpless and received a post from the invitation of Qi Mansion, but he had to say that he was sick and couldn't go, and it was a pity that he couldn't go to the United States.

Shangyuan Festival is also known as Yuan Xi, Lantern Festival. On the fifteenth day of the first month of the lunar calendar, the night is the supper, and the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the first full moon night of the new year, when the four seasons revive and return to the earth, the bright and beautiful bright moon in the sky, the colorful lanterns on the ground, the activities of appreciating the lanterns, guessing riddles, eating Lantern Festival, visiting poetry meetings, etc., are all happy times.

Ning Ze was tying a rabbit lantern in the study with his own hands, which was very cute and cute. Because the rabbit is a good thing, the rabbit lantern means where the auspiciousness and good fortune go.

He hopes that Qi Shu's auspiciousness and good fortune will always accompany Qi Shu in the new year.

Before that, Ning Ze had been learning this thing for several days, using papier-mâché lanterns, bamboo strips to make frames, including decorations, all of which he had carefully gone through over and over again, until he felt that he was satisfied with the things he had made. Even the butler of Fuda couldn't stand it, so he helped his prince tie the lantern together, and the lanterns tied in the past two days were almost a rabbit lamp in the palace.

The lantern made by Ning Ze was covered with white paper, the ears of the two rabbits were decorated with red, the red eyes were dotted with ink pens, the short tail was cute, and the crouching legs were slightly sketched on the paper.

"Lord, tomorrow New Year's Eve, when will you go out?" Butler Fuda held a red gilded post in his hand and walked in slowly from the outside, with a narrow smile on his face, but because of the prince's face, it was not too public.

Ning Ze, who was sitting at the table, didn't want to pay attention to him, Fuda's housekeeper was sticky, although he looked pleasing, but he was tired of seeing too much, where was his Ashu good-looking?

Habitually glanced up, saw Fuda holding a post in his hand, and couldn't help frowning: "Didn't I say it?" No business is done on these two days, and no one else's prayers should be done. ”

Ning Ze was a little embarrassed, tomorrow is the Shangyuan Festival, Qi Shu has not moved yet, I am afraid that he has forgotten the agreement between the two of them, if this is the case, then he will really be angry.

"Lord Wang, this is not an ordinary prayer post, this is the worship post of the Qingming County Lord, isn't this a reply?" Fuda deliberately made a detour, not saying that it was Qimen Shunu, but that it was the county lord of Qingming.

Ning Ze was already upset and heard that Fuda was still muttering, and couldn't help but want to blast him out, but when he heard his name read out, he was stunned and didn't react until he reacted. Ignoring the elegant etiquette posture of the past, he got up directly and stepped over from the case, thus snatching the post in Fuda's hand.

Butler Fuda's jaw dropped, and the prince was too excited.

"Get out and get out." After getting the post, Ning Ze began to bombard people, and regardless of Fuda's pitiful feelings, he also wanted to see the content of the post and look for gossip, so he drove people out of the study.

This must be a post from Ah Shu himself, how could he show it to others? Don't even think about it, okay?
