Chapter 52 Road Encounter

There are quite a few girls that Xiaodong knows, strictly speaking. It's just that anyone who prematurely reveals her intention to be her sister-in-law, Xiaodong slowly stops interacting with others. I can't tell what it feels like - in short, looking at the people in front of me talking and laughing is very kind, maybe this kind of interaction is not a use, but Xiaodong just feels uncomfortable.

Xiao Dong came early in the morning and ran to Zhao Lu's courtyard.

When Zhao Lu was not at home, Xiao Dong often came over, took care of the yard, and instructed the maids to do needlework and clean up the house. What is there to eat, what to use, and I want not to leave their share, but I can't stay here for long. The house without the owner is not glamorous no matter how it is tied, it is lonely and silent, and even the flowers in the yard have no spirit.

But once there is a master, it is completely different. The house was still the same as before, but there was a lot of movement, the maids walking around doing things, the sound of footsteps, the sound of talking, the sound of pouring water......

The dull and silent room suddenly came to life.

Xiao Dong walked in the door with a smile, and the maid greeted her with a smile, and everyone's face was full of joy. When the owner of this house came back, everyone had the energy and enthusiasm - cough, Xiaodong inevitably wanted to be crooked again, so quickly put a stop to this thought.

Anyway, when she sees a young woman now, she intuitively wants to compare others with the position of "sister-in-law candidate", and it is almost a conditioned reflex.

"Brother is up, right?"

"The prince got up early in the morning, went to the back to practice swordsmanship, and just came back, and he was about to change his clothes."

Zhao Lu in the house had already heard it and said, "Sister, come in." ”

Zhao Lu had already cleaned up, wearing an indigo robe, a brocade belt around his waist, and his hair was neatly tied. The maids next to him, Luzhi and Xiaodong, said with a smile: "The county lord doesn't know, the prince didn't use us to change his clothes and comb his hair, so I handed the comb back." ”

Zhao Lu smiled: "You can't expect others to do everything outside, you have to learn to do it yourself, and you will be able to grow up." ”

Sure enough, going out for a trip made a big difference.

Xiao Dong felt proud and a little distressed - Zhao Lu didn't touch the spring water with his fingers at home, and when he went out, there were a bunch of large and small calluses on his hands, and he didn't know how they all fell.

Although a man can't raise it like a flower in a greenhouse, King An is ruthless enough to throw his son to such a barren land to endure the wind and rain at once.

The two went to invite King An, and then entered the palace together, Xiaodong went straight to Changchun Palace, and Prince An and her son did not go all the way.

The Empress Dowager Shengci smiled and said, "I heard that your brother is back?" ”

"The Queen Mother is really well-informed, my brother will come to greet you later."

"The emperor told me last night." The Empress Dowager Shengci touched Xiao Dong's face: "My eyes are a little swollen, I must have cried yesterday, right?" ”

"Well, I didn't cry much...... Xiao Dong touched his eyelids: "It's really that obvious?" "Probably not only because of crying, but also because I didn't sleep well last night.

On the side, the aunt handed over the tea and took a closer look: "It's not too obvious, it's the Queen Mother who sees it carefully." Why don't I take the powder and cover it for the county lord? ”

"No need." Xiao Dong hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't like incense powder." ”

Cai Gu smiled: "If you don't say it, the county lord's temper and the queen mother are really poured out of the same mold, and the queen mother doesn't like those fat powder head oils with different fragrances, so she loves the plain and no aroma." ”

Speaking of fat powder, Xiaodong also heard that someone called the blue water river that flowed out of the palace called the Rouge River, it is said that because the water used by the women in the palace to dress and wash their faces was splashed into the river, the river water was dyed with rouge, and I heard that some people used the red mud precipitated by the river water to make rouge, but I don't know whether this is true or not.

Xiao Dong and the Empress Dowager Shengci described Zhao Lu: "There hasn't been much change, I'm taller, and I'm stronger." I went to look for him this morning, and the maid said that my brother had come by himself to dress and comb his hair. ”

The Empress Dowager Shengci nodded and said softly: "It's good to be at home for a thousand days, but it's difficult to go out." However, he will support the lintel in the future, and it will also be good for him to go out and practice. ”

Of course, Xiaodong understands. But it is clear that it is still inevitable to worry and worry.

Fortunately, now Zhao Lu is back.

The Empress Dowager Shengci asked someone to present a snack, and Xiaodong picked a piece of cotton cake, entrusted it to the Empress Dowager Shengci, and picked a piece of sesame cake by herself. Sesame crisp is delicious and delicious, but it always drops slag, Xiaodong is like a child, holding it with his hands to eat. Cai Gu watched from the sidelines and couldn't help but want to laugh. The Empress Dowager Shengci said: "Look at her, how old she is, she is still the same as when she was a child." ”

"No matter how old the county lord is, in front of you, won't it always be your little granddaughter."

Xiao Dong smiled and said, "I love to hear what Sister Cai says. ”

After more than half an hour, Zhao Lu came, the palace people put down the mat, he respectfully kowtowed three heads, and the Empress Dowager Shengci said, "Come closer and let me see." ”

Zhao Lu got up and walked to him according to his words.

The Empress Dowager Shengci looked at it carefully from head to toe, nodded and said, "It's sturdy, and at first glance, it's a top-notch adult." ”

Zhao Lu was generous, said a few words about what he saw and heard on the road and Ye An's customs, and let people hold a box, saying that it was a little local product and filial piety to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager Shengci opened it and saw that there was a small screen, small and exquisite, the frame was carved from wood, but the pattern on the screen was made of straw. The patterns on the four screens are also different, and the handiwork is extremely delicate.

"This kind of grass grows on the edge of the Ye'an River, it is very thin and tough, and when the frost falls, it turns yellow, and the local people use it to weave all kinds of things, hats, baskets, straw sandals, and it is light and strong."

The Empress Dowager Sheng Ci liked it very much: "It's really fresh and interesting, put it on the shelf." ”

They came out of Changchun Palace, and when they were about to leave the palace gate, they met the five princesses. She hurried over with someone, and the two sides were just facing each other.

This is the first time Xiao Dong has seen her face since she got sick.

The three of them greeted each other. As soon as he looked up, Xiao Dong saw her face. Although the fat is evenly powdered, you can still see faint red marks all over the face. I saw Xiaodong at a glance and didn't dare to look at it anymore.

asked: "Fifth sister, where are you going?" ”

The fifth princess smiled reluctantly: "I'll go to the concubine, Sister Xiaodong and the prince are from Changchun Palace?" Come and sit with me, will you? ”

Xiao Dong hurriedly said: "No, let's go home, my brother has just returned to Beijing, and there are still many things to do." ”

Since that time, the fifth princess and Xiao Dong have said those words, and the two have never talked much, but they have met two sentences. Xiao Dong is also sympathetic to the experience of the fifth princess, from a famous beauty to what she is now - but sympathy is sympathy, Xiao Dong doesn't want to be close to her. The human spirit of the fifth princess is more difficult to deal with than the reckless temper of the sixth princess.

Xiao Dong got into the car, and Zhao Lu knocked on the car window outside: "Does my sister want to go back to the house directly, or go shopping in the city?" ”

Xiao Dong thought for a while: "Let's go to Qin Lie's shop and take a look, they all say that this treasure from all over the world is good, and I haven't entered it yet." ”

Zhao Lu smiled and said, "Okay." It just so happens that I have something to look for him. ”

The carriage passed through Yongxingfang and turned south, but stopped at the street entrance, and there was a lot of commotion in front of it, and the road was blocked.

Xiao Dong looked out, and there were many people around, only to see the cyan roof cloth in the crowd. After waiting for a while, Zhao Lu got off the horse and came over and said, "There is a car in front of you that has hit someone, and it is shouting." ”

Xiao Dong asked, "Who hit someone?" Who did you hit? ”

"I don't know, I'll go ahead and have a look."

Xiao Dong hurriedly said: "Brother beware...... I really can't get by, let's take a detour. ”

"Yes."

Fortunately, the matter was resolved after a while, and the car continued to move forward.

"I went over just now to see, it turned out that it was not a collision, it was an old man who walked to the car of a bystander and suddenly fainted, and the person in the car stopped to see what was going on. The owner of the car sent the old man to the back medical center. ”

Xiao Dong nodded: "The owner of the car is kind, but it almost made people feel bad, if you can't really argue your innocence, it will be wronged." ”

Zhao Lu said: "Why not, others just watch the excitement, who is right and who has nothing to do with them?" He pointed ahead: "It's almost there, sister, look at the top of the building, it is more conspicuous than other houses." ”

When the car arrived, Zhao Lu helped Xiaodong get out of the car, raised his head, and the words "Treasure from All Over the World" on the signboard were written with dragon flying and phoenix dancing, which was powerful and powerful.

Qin Lie had already gotten the news and came out from inside.

Zhao Lu smiled and hugged his fists: "Brother Qin." ”

"Brother Zhao Xian."

The two looked at each other and smiled, when Xiao Dong didn't know, it seemed that the friendship between them had grown by leaps and bounds, which was quite a bit of a good brother.

According to the blood source, Shen Jing is Zhao Lu's cousin, and Qin Lie, a distant relative, is almost far away, but people pay attention to the same smell. Obviously, Qin Lie and Zhao Lu are the ones with similar smells.

"Come on, come on, go in and talk." Qin Lie smiled at Xiao Dong, his face smiling like a flower: "Sister Xiao Dong is still here for the first time, right?" If you look at anything, you are not welcome, it will be recorded in my account. ”

"Okay, that's what you said."

Qin Lie deliberately made an embarrassed expression: "Cough, just ask my sister's subordinates to be merciful, don't look down on the ones that are too valuable, let me lose my capital, I can't eat this month, so I have to go to the palace to eat." ”

Xiao Dong glanced at him: "What month don't you eat at our house?" Is it possible to lose money every month? ”

He had already entered the gate while speaking, and Xiao Dong saw it for the first time, and sure enough, it looked fresh everywhere. The name of the treasure of the four seas is magnificent, and it is really extraordinary. Xiao Dong knew that he had such a shop, but knowing and seeing were two different things. He fought such a situation barefoot and empty punches alone, which can be regarded as young and promising.

Qin Lie led them around the lobby on the first floor: "Go up, it's quiet and there are few people." I asked people to go to the nearby Yuanlong Fang to buy some dim sum, and I heard that a new lotus seed cake came out, and some people rushed to buy it every day. ”

Xiao Dong hurriedly added: "I also want mung bean cakes." ”

"Got it."

Qin Lie commanded and led them upstairs. Xiao Dong looked out of the window, and a carriage with a green cloth tent stopped outside the door.

This car looks like something familiar-

Ah, isn't that the one that just blocked at the intersection?
