Chapter 7 Yueniang
"Sent?" Song Zhi asked Meteor to send a few lotus flowers she picked from the pond to the Jinghai Hou Mansion, which were still half-blooming buds, which could be raised for a while in the water.
"Xiaozhu has already sent it." Jiang Changwan, the young lady of the Marquis of Jinghai, is Song Zhi's friend who has played together since he was a child.
In her previous life, she didn't have a good time, she was married far away to Yunnan, and it was difficult to exchange letters. I heard that Wang Shizi of Yunnan is a good man, and he can spread all the way from Yunnan to Kyoto, and this matter must be a household name in Yunnan?
However, Jiang Changwan is only one year older than Song Zhi, but there are still a few years to go, if Jiang Changwan can be asked not to marry and go to Yunnan, Song Zhi will definitely try his best. "Where's Madame?"
"I sent it too, Madame likes it tightly!" Meteor walked to the desk and sharpened the ink for Song Zhi. "Madame seems to have changed the fragrance, this one smells weird and good, sweet and sweet, and the fragrance of the flowers sent by the lady is not offended."
Mrs. Lin did not tell the Lin family that her spices were poisonous, firstly, because there were too many people who handled the spices, although Song Zhi was sure that Song Yan did it, but there was no tangible evidence.
The second reason is that the Lin family owes Song Yan a debt in his heart after all, and besides, his daughter's family is a coquettish guest after all, and Song Yan will get married soon, so he just knocked a few words on the side of the Lin family and changed the spices.
Song Zhi couldn't say whether this was good or bad.
Although the Lin family insisted on marrying Song Jian as a flat wife at that time, Song Jian also wanted to marry him!
However, the Lin family really took the marriage to Song Yan to heart, and Lin Qingyan's wife Xiao Chen celebrated her birthday in two days. Xiao Chen's girlfriend will go to this birthday banquet, and Lin also plans to take Song Yan and Song Zhi together.
It is equivalent to letting the big guys know that the eldest lady of the Zhenxi General's Mansion has reached the age to talk about family affairs.
"Miss, the eldest lady is here." Moon hurriedly walked in, "I'm waiting for you outside." ”
It's true that you can't talk about people during the day, and you can't talk about ghosts at night. Song Zhi just thought about it in his heart, and Song Yan really came.
"Why is my sister here?" Song Zhi wiped the ink on his hands with a silk handkerchief, "Just in time to catch up with my embarrassed appearance." ”
"I haven't seen my sister for a long time, so I'll take a look." Song Yan took Song Zhi's hand, moistened her handkerchief with tea, and wiped it for Song Zhi little by little.
"What's that?" Song Zhi looked at the pot of flowers in Mingzhu's arms that bloomed just right, and the mournful cry of the moon sounded in his ears.
She blinked quickly, as if it was too much daylight outside.
The branches of the flower were green and spiky, and the flowers were scarlet and fat, like a woman's lips, exuding a sweet and erosive smell.
Song Zhi couldn't be more familiar.
"The flowers that the eldest brother brought back some time ago, I don't know what the name is, I see that my sister likes to play with flowers and plants recently, so I will be a favor, and give it to my sister?" Song Yan wiped the ink off Song Zhi's hand for Song Zhi, but still held Song Zhi's hand affectionately.
Song Zhi pretended to enjoy the flowers and pulled his hand out. "The gift that the eldest brother gave to my sister must be precious, and my sister gave it to me like this, isn't it?"
"Sister, this is vinegar?" Song Yan smiled softly, "We are all the sisters of the eldest brother, and whoever we send is the same." ”
"Then sister, I took it. When I think about it, I will give my sister a gift back. Song Zhi touched the petals and smiled at Song Yan.
Song Zhi was against the light at this time, and the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, which was a little weird that could not be said.
"We sisters, why be polite." Song Yan didn't care, she looked at Song Zhi and Hua standing together, and her smile became a little thicker. "This flower is afraid of light and cold, likes popularity, and it is best for my sister to be kept in the inner room."
After drinking half a cup of tea and asking for a few warm words, Song Yan left satisfied.
"Bring a basin of water." Song Zhi's voice was very calm, but Xiaozhu didn't know why he felt cold when he heard it, so he hurriedly did it.
Song Zhi soaked her hand in the water, hit the pancreas and rubbed it slowly, her expression was calm, and she couldn't see anything wrong.
Look at the flower month by month, and then look at Song Zhi, "Miss, that flower." ”
"That flower is called Yueniang." Song Zhi spoke too quietly, and he unconsciously walked a few steps closer month by month. "It's a kind of lewd flower, if it is placed in the woman's room, it will accumulate over time, and when the woman's palm is crimson, she will often have a feeling of burning with desire."
Song Zhi said such horrific words in a nonchalant tone, and she almost swallowed her tongue month by month, she glanced at the flower, and quickly looked away as if she was burned.
"Don't be afraid." Song Zhi wiped his hands with a handkerchief, "It won't work for a while." ”
"Miss," Month by Moon was frightened into tears, "You say, did the eldest lady do it on purpose?" ”
"Naturally, it was deliberate." The screams of Zhuyue in her previous life still lingered in Song Zhi's ears, Song Zhi reached out and pinched Zhuyue's face, seeing that she was stupid and couldn't move.
Song Zhi smiled easily, and the voice suddenly disappeared.
"If the petals of this flower are dried and ground into powder, and the man can take it, it will be majestic. Will flowers with such effects be found everywhere? It's rare. ”
It seems that the Lin family is learning housekeeping again, Song Yan is really anxious, this trick is actually used so much in advance.
In her previous life, this flower was given to her by Song Yan after she married Rui Xi. Rui Xi is a dignified person, and she doesn't like women frivolously the most, Song Yan sent this flower, and she still carefully calculated Rui Xi's temperament.
And Song Zhi didn't like the fragrance of this flower, so he let him take it month by month to raise it.
Then Song Yan married Rui Xi, and Song Zhi was reduced to a side room.
One day, the toxicity of the flower worked, and Zhu Yue and Rui Xi's henchman Su Zheng didn't know how to collide together, and that happened.
Rui Xi was furious, thinking that it was the Song Zhi faction that seduced his henchmen month by month.
Su Zheng is a person who dares to act, he drew a knife and killed himself on the spot, and before he died, he only begged Rui Xi not to be angry and angry.
But Rui Xi hated others calculating him the most, so he handed it over to Song Yan to deal with month by month.
What happened next, Song Zhi stroked his forehead and didn't think about it anymore.
"Miss, I put the flowers in the downwind of the yard, and the smell can't come by." Moon licked his lips, but he calmed down. "Are you sure you don't want to dispose of it, Miss?"
"Yueniang flower is a good thing, supplemented by other drugs can also make women's skin soft and fair." There are also some hidden uses, Song Zhi didn't say. "It's people who have bad intentions, not flowers."
"Miss, this is too much, what do you think about!" I couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if Miss didn't know this flower, she didn't know what would happen!
"You should know why, don't you?" Song Zhi was leaning on the red black nanmu with his elbow in one hand, and holding a book in the other hand, looking down.
"Miss is saying that the eldest lady still holds a grudge against Madame?" Month by month's eyes widened in disbelief, "But Miss has never been unable to stand up to her, and she is a boudoir woman, where did she learn these pickling methods!?" ”
"Ruining a woman's reputation is the most vicious and effective, no matter what pickles or not." Song Zhi's gaze never left the page, and the two seemed to be just gossiping.
"Isn't Miss afraid?" Song Zhi's indifference called Zhuyue a little overwhelmed.
"I'm afraid, I'm terrified." Song Zhi stroked a strand of hair that had slipped, and said calmly: "But I have something more afraid, so I don't care about being afraid of this little gadget." ”
……
Le Xiangzhai's affairs gradually became a little more eyebrow-raising, and Qin's mother didn't go over there, concentrating on taking care of Song Zhilai.
After a few days of getting along, she only felt that this young lady was really smart and well-behaved.
She and An's mother are also close friends in the Lin Mansion, and they are the so-called love for the house and Wu, so they have a little natural pity for Song Zhi.
Since Qin's mother came, the food in Ruyi Pavilion has gradually changed, in the past, what ingredients were eaten in Jingui, but now they are eaten according to the season, and ordinary side dishes are more common on the dinner table.
For example, today's lunch, the blue and white porcelain plate contains stir-fried shredded chicken with tender ginger, simmered pork ribs with fresh lotus root, stir-fried small rape, and a bowl of whitebait tofu soup.
These side dishes are full of color and flavor, and each combination has a gradual warming effect.
When Song Zhi took a look, he knew that Qin's mother was thinking about it with her heart, and after lunch, she specially looked for Qin's mother and said, "Mother Qin is bothered." ”
"The girl is polite." It is the best compliment for one's mind to be appreciated.
"The girl is going to the Lin Mansion in three days, the new clothes have been made, the girl wants to take a look?"
"Okay."
Mother Qin asked Xiaozhu and Meteor to bring in their clothes, all of which were bright and not gaudy colors such as goose yellow, snow blue, and light cherry blossoms.
"It's all good." Song Zhi looked at them one by one and nodded with satisfaction.
"Which one would the girl want to wear that day?" Qin's mother asked.
Song Zhi pointed to a light cherry colored plain pattern shirt, due to the hot weather, he only picked a sleeveless back with a small pink pattern of soft gauze, and a snow-blue pin-pleated skirt on the lower body. This snow blue is very beautiful, just like when the snow of the Tianshan Mountains gradually melts, there is a sense of ethereal.
"What about jewelry?" Qin's mother asked Xiaozhu to take down these clothes and iron them.
"I remember that my aunt gave me a pink crystal peach hairpin on my birthday last year." Song Zhi looked at Meteor, and Meteor nodded, "Then wear that." ”
Xiao Chen is not too flamboyant, and he didn't want to call too many people to attend his birthday banquet. However, Lin Qingyan told her about Lin's intentions, so she still invited a few more women with a wide range of people.
For example, Xiao Qian and Da Qian, one of their two sisters married a deputy envoy of Qin Tianjian and the other married Si Zheng of Dali Temple, both of whom are official positions that say whether they are high or not. Therefore, they acted in a particularly smooth manner, made good friends with various families, and achieved several good marriages.
In his previous life, at the birthday banquet, Song Zhi vomited and diarrhea because he ate bad things, so he didn't make it. Now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's also Song Yan's handiwork.
Since Qin's mother came, she has sorted out the manpower of Ruyi Pavilion, accepted some new ones who are quick with their hands and feet, and replaced a few people.
Ruyi Pavilion has two maids who are responsible for sprinkling and sweeping, and Song Zhi has never seen them again. Mother Qin privately told Song Zhi that those two maids were afraid that they had something to do with the people in Lengqiu Courtyard.
