Chapter 21: Six Years Go By
β¦β¦
In the summer of the twenty-second year of Chongwu. The back garden of Taifu's house.
In the park, the pavilions and pavilions are exquisite, and the rockeries are more than ten meters high, and they are scattered and majestic and upright. On the turquoise water of the pond, large fields of lotus flowers bloom. The lotus flowers are white and delicate, and the lotus leaves are green and dripping green. The back garden in the middle of summer is beautiful like a painting!
It's a pity that this painting can't be beautiful for a long time...... It's broken!
"Left drop! Whew...... Stop! Run Again - Whoo...... This princess will cut off your headβ" A panting voice, sharp and piercing, startled the birds in the back garden and fled!
This was followed by a gender-indistinguishable voice: "Princess! My little ancestor! Stopβ" There was some flattery in anxiety, "if you accidentally knock it, but you will kill the old slave!" β
Two figures rushed in the back garden. In front of her was a young girl, in her teens. The bright yellow breast-length skirt, the intricate pattern embroidered with gold thread on the skirt shines in the sun! The willow eyebrows are crooked, the nose is beautiful, the cheeks are red from the violent running, and the apricot eyes are cunning, you can see that he is an overly lively character! Behind him is a crane-haired old man in a eunuch uniform, who can maintain a groveling posture without falling half a step behind, which is really amazing!
The girl stopped suddenly, and a long string of silver beads hanging from the gilded hairpin on her head shook it! She stamped her feet in hatred: "Tell her to slip away again!" Look, it's running this way! She turned her head and exclaimed angrily at the old man, "Jiangliu! Father-in-law Jiang! Can you not follow me? Seeing that you are here, Zuodi's girl will definitely not come out! β
The girl stopped abruptly, and the old man who followed the trend also stopped immediately, as if he was not affected by any inertia. He grinned, and his old face turned into a chrysanthemum: "Isn't the old slave worried?" If the princess is tired of running, the old slave can squat down and use it as a stool, so that you can rest your legs! β
The lively princess rolled her eyes, her father was right, this old fellow had become a sperm! Teach you that you can't even have a temper! She looked left and right that there was indeed no one in the garden, but she was angry but helpless: "This time you hid, next time I will come quietly!" Hum! She flicked her sleeves and turned around: "Let's go!" Back to the palace! β
"Huh!" Gonggong Jiang continued to follow happily.
After the two left, there was a narrow road in the rockery, and two girls were crowded in it like conjoined babies.
"Miss? When the people are gone, can we go out? One of them whispered.
"Okay, let's go out, almost squeeze me into a group photo!" Another girl muttered.
The two girls pushed and yelled, and finally got out. The girl who spoke first had bangs, double buns, a round face and big eyes, it was the girl Baoya! The one who is called Miss in the back is naturally the Zuo Di who the princess just now couldn't chase! She patted the dust off her body and looked up.
Six years have passed, and Zuo Di has finally grown up! Her thick and supple green silk hung straight down, and she only wore double braids on both sides, pinned to the back of her head. The original baby fat has been slightly reduced, and it has a soft silhouette of a girl. The skin is like jade, the eyes are cut water, it is really like an elf who has fallen into the mortal dust, it is indescribably bright and moving!
But when she opened her mouth, everything bright and moving, and all the elves were gone! "Xiao Zhen, this bastard, you have to grab a bird from me! Her father sits on the world, why not! I am worried about how poor and middle-class peasants I am doing! She cursed. Finished! The clothes are hung up again, and Mama Wang's mantra has been completed! She has no power to resist!
Bao Ya is already surprised by the master's occasional strange words, so he should not have heard them! She heard Zuo Di's complaints, and said with a smile: "The slave has hidden the peach blossoms!" Don't worry, even if the princess lifts the Taifu Mansion, she won't be able to find it! β
Hehe, what a treasure! This Bao Ya is eccentric, and the brain circuits and Zuo Di are in the same line most of the time. Zuo Di said he was very satisfied! Bao Ya and Bao Zhi are now both second-class maids in Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
Qiu Chan is already married, but Qiu Ju is unwilling to leave the house or marry, so she insists on staying by Zuodi's side! Zuo Di knew her body, and couldn't bear to persuade her anymore, so she went to Yang's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and spoiled until she vomited, and was stunned to mention a first-class maid! According to the rules, Miss Fuzhong only has a second class at most, although Qiu Ju doesn't care about these names, she also misses the master's affection. Looking at this posture, I actually want to die of old age!
Zuo Di was just about to open her mouth to praise Baoya, suddenly there was a sneer from the top of her head, she looked up, and there was a handsome young man squatting on the rockery, with sword eyebrows and a grass stalk in his mouth, it was her cheap brother - Zuo Yan!
Zuo gradually smiled evilly: "What kind of master with what kind of maid!" The second sister was so bold that even the little slaves and maids around her dared to open their mouths and open the Taifu Mansion! β
He jumped down, his long body standing upright like a jade bamboo. Bao Ya was taken aback, and hurriedly saluted: "The slave maid has seen the eldest young master." β
In the past few years in the house, Zuo Di has dealt with Zuo gradually several times, and understands that although this brother has a poisonous tongue and a black belly, his heart is not bad, and he is only a little more rebellious than ordinary teenagers. It's just that the two don't have a deep friendship on weekdays, and now they are caught, and they have to save some lady's face.
She bowed her head slightly and made a shy appearance: "Di'er has no way to discipline, let my brother laugh!" Baoya is still young and doesn't know how to learn, so she can't speak properly, and she hopes that her brother won't go to her heart. β
Zuo gradually narrowed his eyes and stared at the top of Zuo Di's head.
He was rarely in the house, and he didn't know much about this sister, but he had only heard people talk about being quite naughty and playful. Today, I look at it, but it is tricky. The meaning of simple words is not simple, this is to remind yourself not to be embarrassed to be a little girl?
He spit out the grass stalk in his mouth, and said coolly: "It's just looking for a place to be lazy, and there will be a scene!" Looks like I should stay in this house longer! β
Zuo Di said yes, blessed and blessed, holding Baoya to say goodbye.
Zuo gradually looked at Zuo Di's distant figure, with a playful expression, the second sister can pretend better than the eldest sister! It's not that boring in this house.
β¦β¦
Zuo Di led Baoya out of the garden, and wanted to go back to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, but after thinking about it, he turned around and went to Liuli Pavilion!
In the study room of the glazed pavilion, there is a faint fragrance of sweet pine. Leaning against the hollowed-out carved window, a Huanghuali bookcase is placed. There was a girl sitting in front of the bookcase, wearing a big red shirt and skirt, and the bright red that ordinary people couldn't suppress rested on her, which looked extremely atmospheric and graceful, and even more lined her skin like congealed fat, and it could be broken by blowing.
The girl held the pen with her wrist, and she didn't fall for a long time, her eyebrows frowned slightly, as if she was embarrassed.
The door of the study was gently opened, and a maid came in and said, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss has come to visit you." β
The girl was taken aback when she heard this, and she hurriedly put down her pen and tried to hide the paper in front of her. Unfortunately, it's too late! Zuo Di rushed in with a swagger with Bao Ya......
"Sister! What a taste! Why do you always like to make these bitter and spicy spices! Hey? Are you practicing calligraphy or drawing? Let me see! Zuo Di saw the eldest sister holding a piece of paper in her hand, she hated writing and painting, but she was extremely envious of the eldest sister's handful hairpin flower Xiaokai, as if it was printed!
Zuo Di pulled it over, only to see a few ink dots dripping on the paper, but there was not a word! She looked at Zuo Chun in wonder: "I see that you were nervous just now, and you thought it was fun to write something!" How is it empty? β
The girl in the red dress - that is, Zuo Chun, pulled a far-fetched smile at the corner of her mouth: "It's nothing......" She secretly scolded herself for being weak-hearted, obviously she didn't write anything, and when she heard that her sister was coming, she subconsciously wanted to hide!
Zuo Di grinned a lot, didn't care, put down the paper, squeezed into Zuo Chun's wide seat with a smile, and rubbed his head on her pink neck: "Good sister, dear sister, the most beautiful sister, look at your lovely sister, accidentally scratched her clothes, you asked Fuqin to help me mend itββ"
Zuo Chun was calm, looked at his cat-like sister funny, and pushed her out angrily: "You leather monkey, what kind of business have you done!" I don't care about you! Fuqin is my personal maid, and now I have to do needlework for you all day long! She said that she didn't care, but she glanced at the maid who came in just now, it was Fuqin.
Fuqin pursed her lips and smiled, and quietly retreated to find clothes for the second lady to change.
Bao Ya cleverly moved a round stool and put it next to her. Zuo Di saw Fuqin go out and knew that the eldest sister was the most soft-hearted. He snickered and got out of his chair and sat down on the round stool.
Fuqin came back soon, and served the second lady to change clothes with Baoya, and then took the changed clothes out to sew.
Zuo Di, who had no worries, took a cup and poured tea from the cook, and drank it all.
Zuo Chun asked, "Princess Shining's troubles in the Taifu Mansion today are for that?" You two are really happy and enemies, and there is not a day when you don't make trouble! β
Hearing the words Princess Shining, Zuo Di began to have a headache.
Princess Xiao Zhen of Shining, the eldest princess of Kang Kingdom. The queen's concubine, with a noble status, and the first child of the royal family, is simply spoiled! In the sixth year, the queen invited the wife to the banquet, and the Yang family brought the two daughters into the palace, the palace banquet was boring and tight, and Zuo Di entered the palace for the first time, very curious! So he ran out and walked around. didn't take a few steps and bumped into a little girl, it was Xiao Zhen!
The same six-year-old Xiao Zhen was also detained and ran out uncomfortably, and the two hit it off with the same smell! After the palace banquet ended, the Yang family and the queen found that their daughter was gone. Finally, a little eunuch found them in the imperial garden, squatting together face-to-face earthworms. Just because Zuo Di said that earthworms can be used for fishing......
Needless to say, Xiao Zhen is fine, just a few downs. Zuo Di, who is the culprit, was hit by Zuo Zhangheng's iron sand palm for the first time! Although it doesn't hurt, my face is completely lost! She's not really a child, it's good to be ashamed!
After that, her bad relationship with Xiao Zhen began...... According to modern terms, Xiao Zhen is the kind of best friend who can tear up! She takes it as her pleasure to snatch Zuo Di's things, as long as she comes to Taifu's Mansion, she never returns empty-handed! But she can't be blamed, Zuo Di's modern people's hedonistic thinking is deep-rooted, and they have "invented" some small things. The wooden sofa filled with white cotton, the soft cushions, and the puppets made by Mama Wang according to her instructions, Xiao Zhen's envious eyes are red, and she will grab it when she sees it! In the later stage of development, even if she has something herself, she won't let go!
When I came back to the house, I fell in love with the bird that Zuo Zhangheng gave to his daughter! Yes! It's the budgie called Peach Blossom who frightened "Zuo Mengmeng"! In this life, it still appeared...... Zuo Di trusts Bao Ya's naming skills, and the original red fruit has been used by Zuo Di for a long time! Sure enough, Bao Ya called it Peach Blossom, although Zuo Di couldn't see the connection between the two!
Thinking of this, Zuo Di didn't answer his sister's question, turned his head and asked Baoya: "Where did you hide the peach blossoms?" β
Bao Ya sneered, her eyebrows crooked: "I asked Jiao Sheng Xun to hang the ladder with the cage on the tree outside the mansion gate!" "Jiaosheng is Baoya's younger brother, and he entered the Taifu Mansion with her. This is what Zuo Di learned later.
Zuo Dile: "It's not that I can't find the Taifu Mansion, so I hid it outside the mansion!" She turned her head to Zuo Chun and said, "Daddy gave me that parrot, sister remember, right?" Xiao Zhen came back and saw it, so she had to rob it! I protected it tightly, and she didn't succeed! No, here we go again! β
Zuo Chun supported his forehead, these two people are really ...... For the sake of a flat-haired beast, it was also painstaking!
Here Fuqin mended her clothes, and after Zuo Di changed it, she flattered her sister and was about to leave. Zuo Chun suddenly said, "Wait......"
Zuo Di stopped and looked at his sister: "As soon as I came in, I felt that something was wrong with you, and I thought you didn't want me to know!" Tell me, what's going on? β
Zuo Chun's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan in embarrassment! She asked Fuqin and Baoya to retreat, her fingers were white, and she couldn't open her mouth.
Zuo Di is an anxious person, seeing her like this, she is suffocated! She rolled her eyes: "Don't say it?" Then I'm leaving! "Pretend to leave.
"Don't, I say!" Zuo Chun was fooled. She squeaked for a long time before hesitating: "I should be in time next month...... Hug the painting and ask for ...... My father and mother are discussing my marriage...... They seem to be sending me to the palace......" said very difficult.
Zuo Di was stunned when she heard this, she almost forgot that in this era, it is time for a woman to get married after she is married! Thinking of Zuo Chun being the imperial concubine in his previous life, he was strangled to death for poisoning the prince! She tensed up! No, you can't let her enter the palace! This sister who is as beautiful as a flower shouldn't end up like that!
Zuo Di blurted out: "No! She sat down and grabbed Zuo Chun's hands, "Daddy loves you so much, how could she be willing to send you to the palace?" Holding the painting must be a mistake! β
Zuo Chun's eyes were red, and his voice was choked: "I don't know, just hearing this news is enough for me to be terrified!" β
Zuo Di comforted the eldest sister on his lips, but he knew in his heart that this was very likely to be true! Because this was the result in the previous life. Looking at Zuo Chun, who was crying, she secretly swore that Zuo Di's fate had changed! Zuo Chun's can also be! And she, by no means, will let all this happen again!
