Chapter 53: The Omen of Burning

In the past few days of recuperation, it is the most leisurely, listening to Lu Rong said, Dongbaolou has been full of guests every day for several days, and there is an endless stream. There is a bit of uneasiness in the rhetoric. Several times, Wanying didn't pay attention to it.

On this day, the weather is sunny and warm, Wanying is draped in a big hat, crooked on the chaise longue, two copper beast stoves in the house, the whole house is burned like a spring day, the noon sun, through the shadow screen, sprinkled on the face, not dazzling, but also very comfortable, because I remember a few chrysanthemums in the yard, I don't see it for a few days, and I don't know what it looks like to be beaten by frost.

Thinking of this, he got up and was about to pull the window, only to hear Hongfu go upstairs without knowing when, and said behind him: "My ancestor miss, just after a while, opened the window again, didn't you want Hongfu to cut it with a thousand knives?" The day of entering the palace is in front of me, and it is not good to raise it, but how can it be good!"

"Didn't you clean up your things in the wing room with your mother? When did you come up, why didn't Wanying hear it at all? ”

"I was afraid that the young lady would fall asleep, so I took it lightly. I went upstairs to take a look, otherwise it would be Hongfu's sin again. ”

"How many chrysanthemums can be watered these days?"

"Don't worry, the flowers are fine. Miss only recuperates with peace of mind, don't worry about the east, don't worry about the west. The imperial doctor didn't also say that the young lady was overthinking this time, which caused the wind evil. ”

"Got it, you're the one who makes noise all day."

"It's only been a few days since the noise was made, and Miss will enter the palace next month, and Hongfu won't be able to joke with Miss just if she wants to say a few words in the future." Hongfu said, with tears in her eyes.

"What's there to cry about, isn't it the underworld, as for the look of life and death?" Wanying saw that she was sentimental, so she also wanted to amuse her.

"Bah, Bah, Miss Hugh is talking nonsense. The young lady also snorted a few times, so as to save the bad luck on her body. ”

Wanying saw that she was very nervous, and knew that what she said just now scared her.

"Miss, you don't know that, do you? The old man brought the young lady into the palace with four more boxes than Miss Wanyun. Only the housekeeper Lian Jin knew about this, and Dongbaolou was hiding it, for fear that Aunt Gao would make trouble. The lord is distressed, Miss, we are really watching. Hongfu said in front of Wanying.

Wanying didn't care about these things outside her body, but asked, "Can someone come to congratulate you these days?" ”

"Tell me more! It's really infuriating, a few months ago, it was like a lot of traffic, and the threshold was broken, and after the miss was defeated, we were even more deserted here than in the ancestral hall at home. The former concubine Dong'an sent someone to send a few boxes over, a box of various kinds of jewelry, a box of clothes for the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, a box of four treasures in the study, and a box of antique calligraphy and paintings. The little guy who carried the things also said that the concubine Nian Wanying was ill, so there was no need to thank her, there were many opportunities to meet in the harem. ”

"Sure enough, the concubine really felt sorry for me, and even I sent a lot of gifts even if I was tasteless and rankless."

"That's not it, if it weren't for these boxes of things, I wouldn't dare to go out of the courtyard door, the whole house is comparing Miss and Miss Wanyun's makeup, I don't want to eat their guns. Speaking of which, we still have face, the four boxes of things of Concubine Dong'an, are more effective than any gold and jade, no matter how much pure gold Ruyi they have received, and pure gold collars, we will have enough face if we have these. ”

Wanying nodded, not to compare with Wanyun, but with the congratulatory gift from Concubine Dong'an, at least her mother's face would not be too ugly, and she would not be dismissed.

"Oh, there's another person who also gave a gift, and Miss can't think of who it is?"

"Who is it?"

Hongfu whispered: "Someone from the Wu'an Hou Mansion also came, and sent a jewelry box with red sandalwood carving and inlaid treasures, two pure gold upper gold inlaid with jade inlaid with eight treasures of gold Ruyi, one handle is full of ninety-nine taels." ”

One tael of gold and ten taels of silver. These two ruyi are worth two thousand taels of silver, not counting the eight precious jade stones above. Wu Anhou has such a big hand, it can be seen that he is very rich. said: "Mrs. Wu'anhou has a heart." ”

Hongfu shook her head and said: "Miss I don't know, this jewelry box and Jin Ruyi are still secondary, do you know, the jewelry box contains a whole set of gold jewelry with a total of eighteen pieces of cuidong pearls, all of them are good things, the pearl is called a big one, and the cui is really called a bright one!" ”

I advocate the color of green and green, the best jade jewelry, has long been priceless, the ladies in the palace can not compete for it, such a set of jewelry, only afraid of more than 10,000, I don't know? Such hospitality is not like a friendship between colleagues.

"Is there a Dongbao Building?" Before Hongfu could finish speaking, Wanying asked.

"No, Mrs. Wu'anhou doesn't look down on that grandmother over there at all, how could she send such a good thing over."

"Sure enough, it's just me here!" Wanying thought to herself. Said to Hongfu: "Got it, you go down, I want to lie down for a while." ”

"Miss has something to call me, it's just the same, don't open the window again."

"Got it. It's really verbose. ”

Hongfu went downstairs with a smile, Wanying stood alone in front of the copper beast charcoal stove, the red fire warmed the person who stretched out his pores, stretched out his hand on the charcoal stove, and the strong heat spread quickly throughout his body again. The tassels on the skirt were blown by the scorching fire, and although the chest was separated by thick clothes, I still really felt the strong warmth.

Wanying is now a unsuccessful show girl, and Mrs. Wu'anhou is still so gracious, as the so-called 'icing on the cake no one remembers, and the friendship in the snow is true.' Thinking of this, a warm current also rose in her heart, warm inside and outside, and she was about to get drunk.

Suddenly, there was a charcoal flower in the stove, and Wanying was so frightened that she quickly withdrew her hand, only to find that her hand was roasted painfully, and her face and body were burned by the fire. I only cared about my own thoughts, I just wanted to be warm, and I didn't pay attention to how close I was to the stove. At the hem of the skirt, several long tassels were blown back and forth by the hot air of the furnace. Wanying suddenly saw that there were some small black dots on the head of the tassel tassel, pinched it up and took a closer look, but it was Fang Cai who was not paying attention, too close to the fire, and the fire burned the tassel tassel. Fortunately, it's okay, fortunately, the fire is big, even if I find out, otherwise it's not a joke to start a fire.

Thinking of this, a lot of shivers suddenly flashed in my heart, and I only cared about keeping warm, but I didn't know that I was too close to the fire, and it was very easy to burn myself. I smiled, I can make such an association for heating, it is really a thoughtful life, a sad and sick body.

The smile of chatting with * has not yet fallen, and a thought suddenly flashed in Wanying's mind: Mrs. Wu'anhou and her mother are not old friends, and she is not related to herself, and Wu'anhou's official position is still above her father, so she can't talk about it, but just because she likes it, it seems a bit unreasonable to give such a heavy gift. Thinking of what the ladies at the birthday banquet said in private a few days ago, Wu Anhou has recently fallen in front of the saint, and he is not very proud...... What's at stake in this? What does it have to do with it?

Thinking of this, an inexplicable chill swept through his body, and he shuddered. It turns out that if it's too hot, it will be cold.
