Chapter 60: The Draft (Part I)
After the anniversary festival, the palace made a decree to show the girl to enter the palace in early May after the Dragon Boat Festival.
After the beginning of embroidering the landscape screen used for birthday ceremonies, the husband's class was temporarily suspended. Mama Qin's class has been taught in April, and she was hired by another family. Mama Ma is still in the house. The girls' embroidery skills have been almost learned, and because of the old lady's explanation, she spent most of her time in Yunxin Courtyard to guide her to embroider landscapes, and simply left a few patterns for the three girls who did not need to embroider screens, exempting them from daily classes.
There is no need to go to class, Huaxi stays in the room and concentrates on embroidery. Yun Xin would come over every once in a while to take a look, and then go to the old lady and the eldest lady to sit down.
On this day, Cui Ming sent Yun Xin away, and said to Huaxi: "You are honest, how can you let the five girls go to the old lady to behave in front of the old lady in the work of two people?" β
Huaxi laughed and said, "Forget it, the fifth sister has to put more effort into it, and I can also free up my hands to embroider two more stitches, if the birthday ceremony goes wrong, the old lady will not be able to explain it." "Thank God for being able to finish on time, and I don't have the time to do that flattering thing. Besides, if you do it, you may end up making people misunderstand that you have a plan.
Huaxi is just puzzled, Yun Xin is not ignorant. Did she understand the situation, if the old lady really had the heart to let her go, how could she not let her free up her hands to prepare for the election until now, but she did things and reported as if she was nothing, and she didn't know what to do.
Cui Ming saw that Huaxi didn't care, so she didn't say much, and retreated outside to stop disturbing Huaxi.
Huaxi's whole mind was on the embroidery map, and he sat for an hour and a half.
When it was almost lunch, Hongliu came in with a curtain and reported that Mu Xiuyuan was coming.
"Make a pot of clouds and mist, put it on the third brother, and I'll be there later." Huaxi finished embroidering the mountain stone with a few stitches missing, and hurriedly collected the thread and went to the front hall.
Mu Xiuyuan wore an indigo blue narrow-sleeved straight-jacketed robe today, the neckline and cuffs were inlaid with moon-white piping with embroidered blue silk and flowing cloud patterns, a cyan auspicious cloud brocade belt was tied around his waist, and his hair was tied up and he was wearing a small silver crown inlaid with jade.
Huaxi couldn't help but look at it twice, and asked with a smile: "Third brother, is this going out or just coming back?" β
The light orange fragrance was faintly wafting, and Huaxi had already sat down next to him across the table.
Chunying put the teacup with refilled water in Mu Xiuyuan's hand.
Mu Xiuyuan raised his hand to take it, couldn't help but glance at Huaxi beside him, and inadvertently saw her slightly bowing her head to reveal a neck like jade, somehow her face was a little hot, she picked up the teacup quickly, turned her head and looked out of the door, and replied angrily: "I just came back from the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion." β
Huaxi took the tea from the red willow and asked, "Why do you have time to come to my Qixia Garden?" But what did my aunt command? β
"Oh, today there are two Donglin taxis from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and my uncle knows that I am going to participate in the scientific examination next year, and wants me to meet them. Rushing to Qiaoyu, Mrs. Yu also went to the Hou Mansion to visit her aunt, and her aunt sent someone to pass the word and asked me to go over with Yunyi. In the evening, Yun Yi wanted to accompany her aunt to pick out some embroidery from Mrs. Yu's embroidery shop on Deyu Street. My aunt left her for lunch, and my uncle went out again, so I came back first. β
Mu Xiuyuan paused for a moment, picked up a mahogany box from the chair next to him and put it on the table, "Before leaving, my aunt heard that the old lady asked you to embroider birthday gifts and make incense for King Ping, and said that there are no apricot blossoms in our house, and the outside may not be stronger than the one in her house, so I asked me to bring back some apricot blossoms for you to use to make incense." β
Mu Xiuyuan pushed the wooden box in front of Huaxi, Huaxi took it and opened it, a box full of white apricot flowers like snow, his heart warmed, closed the lid and handed it to the red willow who was waiting beside him.
"Thank you aunt, and I bothered the third brother to help me bring it back."
"Sister doesn't have to be polite, what do you have to worry about your family."
Mu Xiuyuan smiled slightly, the original five-point Xiao Yunyi's delicate appearance had two more points of handsome and comfortable charm.
Huaxi was also slightly stunned, and joked with a busy smile: "The third brother walks on the street with such a smile, and he will definitely be able to capture the hearts of countless beauties." β
Mu Xiuyuan listened to Huaxi praise him, and his heart actually gave birth to some fluttering feelings that he had not had before, and his eyes looking at Huaxi became brighter in an instant, and he lowered his head to hide the strangeness of his eyes in an instant, and when he looked up again, there was a little more different fog in his eyes under the eyelashes.
Mu Xiuyuan took a sip of the teacup, moistened his lips, and said, "During this time, ** was busy with the birthday ceremony, and Yun Yi estimated that he was still preparing for the draft...... If you want to read any books, you don't have to look for her anymore, just go through the ...... Send a maid to the Lanbo Pavilion and say it, and I'll send someone to bring it to you. β
Yunyi's draft has been decided?
Huaxi secretly thought, Xiuyuan was steady, he said this, that is, Xiao agreed to Yunyi's going. I'm afraid that Xiao's plan in his heart may not be in line with Yunyi's mind. There is already a Mrs. Weiyuan Marquis in the second room, and the Xiao family is reluctant to have another concubine. Xiao Shi is fortunate not to pull Yunyi's hind legs, she must not be able to pin her hopes on Xiao Shi, she can only seek Xiang Qing's help. No wonder Mu Xiangqing will deliberately find a reason to find her to pass through the house today.
Mu Xiuyuan didn't hear Hua Xi answer him for a long time, and when he looked up, he saw that she was lowering her eyes, looking at the teacup in her hand, and she didn't know what to think.
The face of the steamy Huaxi became a little hazy, as if the corner of the green gauze curtain had been blown away by the wind, revealing a wonderful silhouette hidden deep in it, and rippled across the heart lake.
"Huaxi-" Mu Xiuyuan couldn't bear to disturb her, but he couldn't help but call softly.
"Huh?" Huaxi raised her head, her eyes were like water, confused and revealing a different style.
For a moment, Xiu Yuan felt that the curtain was wide open, and the misty silhouette turned into a bright color and shot into his eyes, sinking in his heart and never dissolving again.
His heart seemed to have missed a beat, and Mu Xiuyuan was speechless in a daze.
"Third brother, you call me?" Huaxi asked.
Mu Xiuyuan's face flushed, he stood up with a swish, waved his hand and said, "Ah-no, no." I asked my uncle to make two poems, and I showed them to Mr. Chu and Song tomorrow, and I went back first. If there is any matter, just send a message to me. β
Mu Xiuyuan almost fled. Huaxi looked at his back in confusion and then withdrew his gaze, why did he go so eagerly?
Shaking his head, Huaxi got up, didn't go back to embroider the screen, went to the incense room to select medicine and compatibility, and began to prepare incense for King Ping and Concubine Xian.
Within a few days, the saint suddenly issued a decree, and Wu Yi was transferred to the governor of Luzhou with the command of the guards and infantry, and Cheng Chong, the Marquis of Weiyuan, was promoted to the fifth rank and took over the position of commander of the capital.
Cheng Chong was promoted beyond the ranks, and the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion rose to the top, and he became a celebrity in front of the saint today. Zhenyuan Marquis Mu Jizhong, Mu Jixiao, and Mu Jiren all went to congratulate. The status of the second room in the house has been significantly improved, and the attitude of the people has become more and more respectful when they see Yunyi, Xiuyuan and others.
Immediately afterwards, the old lady announced in front of everyone that Yunyi and Yunlin would go to the draft. The eldest lady was naturally glad that her girl could go. But the third room saw that the daughters in the big room and the second room had gone, why did they leave this room alone? The third lady asked the old lady to comment, shouting that Yun Ning and Yun Lin were in the same year and month, why did Yun Lin have her share but not Yun Ning.
The old lady replied nonchalantly, the princess of Thailand co-organized the draft, and set the birthday of the show girl before the tenth day of the first month of May. One sentence blocked the third lady speechless, Yunyi's birthday was May 11, so she was naturally not eligible to run for election. More importantly, is the princess of Thailand's move to remind them that the king of Thailand is angry, but the princess of Thailand has not eased up. After all, Mu Jiren's jealous drama led to the result of adding an eye nail to the princess of Thailand.
The old lady announced that the next day, Mu Xiangqing went back to Mu's house, saying that she had invited a grandmother who had just left the palace to give Mu Yunyi some advice in the last few days. The eldest lady soured on the side, saying that they were both nieces, and Mu Xiangqing should not favor one over the other. Mu Xiangqing was not annoyed, and said with a smile that the Yin family was born in the royal family, and she knew the general etiquette, and Yun Lin was personally raised by her, although she was not as good as the princess, but not worse than the county lord and the county lord.
Because of Cheng Chong's power, Xiao would not embarrass Mu Xiangqing for these things, and allowed her to take Yunyi to live in Weiyuan Hou's Mansion for a while.
The only thing that made Huaxi strange was that Yun Xin didn't react at all, except for her face when she first heard the news, she didn't see anything unusual.
At the end of April, the two landscape embroidery screens in Huaxi were completed, and the incense products used in the birthday ceremony were also made together, and the apricot blossom fragrance that the concubine liked was combined; One is the smoky and soaking wine; One product is the fragrance of hibiscus clothes carried closely. Huaxi, along with the contact and the longevity, handed it over to the old lady for a look.
The old lady casually praised a few words, and her eyes were full of satisfaction.
It's just that Huaxi doesn't know if the old lady is satisfied with the work she does, or is satisfied that she pushed the invitation of Mrs. Yu and Xiao Wu during this period, and honestly stayed in the house to embroider.
After sitting for a while, Yun Xin came and presented the embroidery screen to Xiao.
Xiao Shi nodded, didn't say anything, turned his head and asked the specific usage of Huaxi incense, and then instructed Wang's mother to send some of this year's tribute fruits to the two of them, and sent the two away.
Huaxi and Yunxin walked out of the Lotus Courtyard together.
As soon as she was discharged from the hospital, Yun Xin took the initiative to take Huaxi's hand, which made Huaxi stunned for a moment.
"Sister Huaxi, I just heard that the incense you prepared for King Ping has rare wonders, even I, a person who doesn't use incense, listen to it and like it. If you want to send it to the palace, King Ping will definitely pay tribute to the palace to the virtuous concubine. Concubine Xian Niangniang is a lover of incense, and your incense will definitely be able to please Niangniang. In the eyes of the mother, I will ...... you in the future"
Huaxi didn't wait for her to finish, so she interrupted her with a smile, "I'm going to send it, and it's also sent by our Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, it's good to be able to get Niangniang to like it, how can I think about anything else." β
Yun Xin was not angry because her words were interrupted, but sighed and said, "You are ingenious, and you are still worried about the day when you have no future?" Unlike me, I urinated on this sick body, and the weakness brought out by the mother's womb, and I didn't see many doctors who didn't get better. Even if you have the heart, you are powerless, and in the end, everything is half-hanging...... The old lady is afraid that I will be affected by the draft in the palace, and I will get sick again, which will make me unhappy...... I just hope that the fourth sister and sister will be smooth this time. β
