After breakfast, Wanying was led outside the hall by a chirping bird's call, and looked up at the swallow's nest under the eaves, and the four little heads popped out of the nest, waiting to be fed.

"I've been messing around for the past few days, and I've forgotten about this group of little things."

"Niangniang is right, there are four in a litter!" Hongfu took a basin of washed clothes and handed it to Cui'er and said.

Wanying looked at the spring in the garden, and said to Hongfu: "This palace feels that this courtyard is warmer than the inside of the hall, move a chair, move a small one, and sit outside, listen to the swallows on the beam, and bask in the sun by the way." ”

"Okay, Hongfu is going!" After saying that, he turned around and entered the temple.

Hongfu moved around and placed Cui'er's body in front of Wanying. Wanying looked at Cui'er, her eyes were red and swollen, her face seemed to be sad, and the corners of her mouth were bulging, as if she had something to say.

"What's your name?" Wan Ying spoke first.

"Back to Niangniang, the slave is called Cui'er."

"How old are you this year?"

"Fourteen."

Wanying looked at her as if she wanted to say something, and asked lightly, "Do you have something to say?" ”

Cui'er suddenly fell like soybean-like tears, sprinkled like beans, put down the basin in her hand, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Wanying was a little surprised, not knowing what this little girl was going to do. It happened that Hongfu came out with a chair, saw Cui'er kneeling on the ground, put down the chair, pulled Cui'er up and said: "Don't worry, our mother will not be difficult for you, you are you, she is her, you work hard here, as long as your legs and feet are diligent and your hands and feet are clean, Niangniang will not pick you up." ”

When Cui'er heard this, she slapped her on the ground and cried and knelt down. Wanying looked dazed.

Hongfu explained: "Niangniang, she lives in the same room with that peach. ”

Only then did Wanying understand the reason for the scene in front of her.

Cui'er cried for a long time, shook her head and said, "Niangniang, red girl...... Actually......"

Hongfu was afraid of making Wanying uncomfortable again, so she said in a fierce voice: "Don't mention this matter again, it's over, it's over, it's too much, and it makes Niangniang uncomfortable." Did you hear that? It's none of your business, don't worry, she's her, you're you. ”

Before Cui'er could say anything, she was choked into her stomach, the tears on her face were gurgling down, and she kowtowed several times in a row and said, "Thank you Niangniang, thank you Red Girl!" ”

Looking up, he still looked worried, and he wanted to speak again.

Wanying also felt pitiful when she saw it, and said warmly: "The past, let's go over, this palace doesn't want to mention it anymore, don't be afraid, this palace won't blame you." ”

Cui'er nodded gratefully, kowtowed three times, and went down with the basin of clothes.

Seeing Cui'er walk away, Hongfu was afraid that Wanying would be sentimental, so she quickly changed the topic and asked, "Niangniang, Hongfu also feels that there is no warmth outside in the hall." Why don't we take off the cotton curtain at the entrance of the hall and replace the window with thinner window paper, okay? ”

Wanying smiled and nodded, and said eloquently: "You and Bengong want to go together, let's do it today, take advantage of the good sun, dismantle and wash the cotton curtains inside and out, dry them, and put them away." ”

Hongfu didn't say a word, beckoned a few maids and began to remove the cotton curtains. After the arrangements were made, he walked up to Wanying and asked, "The cotton curtain is removed, the new curtain is to be replaced with a shadow yarn, or to use Qinghe brocade?" ”

Wan Ying sat on the chair, holding the book against her chin, and Nini said, "Go and see if there are beaded curtains in the treasury, and if there are, bring them all over and let the palace take a look." ”

"A few days ago, when Yun Niang and I were inspecting the big wedding gifts, we saw a good jasper bead curtain, which was more verdant than the ones in our house."

Wanying was overjoyed, she was about to hang a bead curtain, but she didn't expect it to be there, and said happily: "Hurry up and find it, bring it over, and let the palace take a look." ”

Hongfu nodded and retreated, and with a stick of incense, Hongfu beckoned seven or eight maids, carefully carrying a transparent screen. Before she turned into the main hall, Wanying heard Hongfu's voice.

"Be careful, this thing is very expensive, it's broken, I'm going to beat your board."

Wanying's gaze moved away from the word book in her hand, and she smiled gracefully: "Hongfu has grown up and improved in the end." More and more like the appearance of a big girl. ”

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the maids carrying a transparent object and moving towards him step by step. Hongfu stretched out her arms, stretched out her hands, and looked around, for fear that when she turned a corner, she would bump into something and break the object.

"Niangniang, I found the jasper bead curtain you wanted."

After Hongfu finished speaking, the two little maids walked to Wanying with a brocade box, Hongfu stepped forward to open the brocade box, and said while playing: "I just got the gift list, this is sent by General Zhenyuan from Jiangnan, and this crystal screen is really the best in the world." ”

"General Zhenyuan?" Wanying suddenly felt familiar.

"It's the current Southern Expedition General King, General He You Anhe!"

Wan Ying was stunned, this name had not entered her mind for a long time, so much so that she seemed to have forgotten this name.

Wan Ying looked at the transparent crystal screen in front of her, with two lines of wild grass tattooed in the upper right corner, 'A hundred years of good harmony, and Prime Minister Bai' tattooed in the lower left corner, 'Bless in Yuhang, wish King Rong a happy wedding'. Somehow, suddenly the corners of his eyes were warm, and two lines of hot tears slid down his cheeks.

Hongfu didn't know what to do, thinking that Wanying was crying in the wind, and said happily: "It's good to come, it's better to come by chance." With this crystal screen, the mother is not afraid of tears when she sees the wind. ”

Yun Niang walked out of the temple door, touched the screen in front of her and said, "I'm afraid this is not crystal, I vaguely remember, what does this thing seem to be called?" I served the old lady that year and saw this kind of object in the Zhongshan Palace. ”

Wanying knew that she was out of shape, so she took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, and said slowly: "It's called glass." ”

Yun Niang suddenly realized, clapped her hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it is the name that Niangniang said, it is called glass." It is a secret craft of the West, and we are afraid that the Great Zhou Dynasty Office will not be able to do it now. ”

Hongfu stood opposite the glass screen, and said to Yun Niang through the glass: "It's really rare, when I just saw it, I thought I was dazzled, but when we checked it for the first time, it didn't seem to be this glass screen?" ”

Yun Niang nodded and said: "Exactly, this screen was signed by me a few days ago, and the soldiers who sent it said, 'The general is afraid that it will be broken halfway, so he first sent a jasper bead curtain with a fast horse, and then sent this screen with a stable car. ”

"This General He is really careful. Using such a valuable screen as a congratulatory gift is really both decent and thoughtful. Hongfu sighed on the glass screen, and then wiped it clean with her sleeve, the original crystal transparent glass was even more crystal transparent.

"A few days ago, the military report of Fujian's great victory, the people in the capital who shouted all over the capital knew that this General He is so young and promising, and the class teacher will return to the court, and he must be the best choice for the next lord of the imperial court." Yun Niang looked through the glass and just looked at Wanying's lonely face.

Wanying didn't have the heart to sigh at the preciousness of the screen and He You'an's bright future, across the clear sky, she seemed to see He You'an in Fujian, with a melancholy face, and her eyes looked at herself resentfully.

"I'm sorry......" Wanying looked at He You'an from afar, not knowing why she silently said these three words in her heart.

Qi Qiuli held a bunch of newly opened peonies, stepped into the courtyard with a spring breeze on her face, saw the glass screen from afar, her eyes flashed, and she rushed over, and the peony in her hand was stuffed into the arms of the little girl, walked to the glass screen, and rubbed it carefully.

"What kind of love is this? It's even more transparent than crystal! ”

Hongfu stood opposite the glass and said with a smile: "This is glass, a Western thing, a congratulatory gift from General Zhenyuan to the prince and his mother." ”

When Qi Qiuli heard the words 'General Zhenyuan', she raised her mouth and looked at Wanying. In front of many maids, he just glanced at it and didn't make a sound.

However, this scene was seen by Yun Niang.

Qi Qiuli was rubbing and feeling the rarity and preciousness of glass. Liu's enchanting uninvited.

"Concubine Liu, come over to save peace for Niangniang." After speaking, without waiting for Wanying to shout to get up, she straightened up and stepped onto the steps.

Hongfu also couldn't get used to Liu's, and said in a weird way: "You are diligent, you go twice in the morning and evening, and the wind and rain can't stop you." ”

Liu replied to Hongfu while touching the screen: "Niangniang is the concubine, and it is also within my duty to ask An Qin to hurry up." After saying that, the slender waist willow pendulum walked to Wanying's side three times and said: "Tut, it's really rare, don't say that there is no one in the palace, even if the Jade Emperor lives in the heavenly palace, I'm afraid I can't find one." ”

Wanying was still immersed in the entanglement about He Youan, and she didn't even twist her head.

Seeing that Wanying didn't react, Liu continued: "Niangniang has seen the world, but it seems that we have the temperament of a small family. It is the first time for the slave family to see such a valuable screen, and they are really envious, if they can put it in their own house for a day, they are willing to let the slave family live ten years less. ”

Hongfu felt disgusted for a while, and burst out: "Concubine Liu, you don't want to borrow our screen, do you?" ”

Liu's snake waist swayed and twisted to Hongfu's side: "The slave family really wants to, I don't know if the mother is reluctant?" ”

Hongfu pushed Liu away and said in disgust, "We just brought it out today." ”

Liu Shi was not ashamed, and said: "I'm not in a hurry today, when will my mother get tired of it, I'll borrow it for another day, okay?" ”

Hongfu directly objected and said: "This screen is rare and expensive, we don't borrow it." ”

Liu said cheekily: "It's all a family, why is the Hongfu girl so stingy?" ”

Wanying still couldn't extricate herself from the entanglement, Yun Niang had already understood eight or nine points in her heart, and she was afraid that Wanying's heart would be seen through by the Liu family, so she hurriedly sent Liu Shi and said: "If the concubine wants to borrow it, I will let someone send it over in a few days." After speaking, he hurriedly walked to Wanying's side, handed over a cup of tea and said: "Niangniang, it's almost noon, let's enter the hall, it's windy outside, and the invisible sand flies everywhere, carefully staining Niangniang's clothes and fascinating Niangniang's eyes." ”

Wanying turned around and looked at Yun Niang with tender eyes.

"Niangniang's glass screen is expensive, how can it be easily moved? If it breaks, can you afford to pay for it? There is a red sandalwood Buddha carved screen in my hall, although it is not as rare and expensive as this screen of Niangniang, but it is also worthy of your identity, since you want to borrow, I will borrow you for a few days! By the way, take a look, the fox on your body! ”

A tsundere and flamboyant voice pierced through the warm sunlight and coldly pierced into Liu's heart.

"Sister Zhou, you look so good today! My sister hasn't seen you for a few days, and I'm very worried. Liu ran down the steps in a panic to greet him. I just wanted to hold Zhou's hand, but I was pushed away. Liu stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

Zhou looked at Liu incredulously, sneered and said, "Slut, you won't still want to slander me, I'll just push you gently, and you can make such a look like you're about to fall for everyone to see!" ”

Liu's face was slightly embarrassed, and he immediately leaned forward with a smile on his face and said, "How can it? Sister Zhou, sister ......"

Before Liu finished speaking, he was directly cut off by Zhou's arrogant tone: "Get out, slut, although I have been demoted, I am still the county lord of the imperial court, and your claws are not worthy of pulling my clothes." ”

Liu Shi wanted to be struck by thunder, so he immediately retracted his hand, was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Although my sister has been demoted, she is still the sister in my sister's heart......"

"Phew, don't disgust me, I don't have a sister like you. Shut your foul mouth, I don't want to hear you. ”
