Chapter 65: Jin
Chapter 65 Jin
"That's right. That letter ...... Did it get into Zhao Zhi's hands? ”
"The people who went to Pingzhou haven't come back yet, but counting the time, it should have been in her hands."
"Hmm."
Qin Lie's voice was low, as if he was whispering in his ear: "Wait...... After we get married, I will take you to Suizhou, which is very close to Pingzhou, and you can stop by to see her. ”
"Suizhou?"
"Right...... In the future, if you like the capital, we will live in the capital. If you are bored, let's go outside, the people of Suizhou are simple and the scenery is very beautiful. By the way, if you want to see Jinfeng, you can also see it together. Suizhou is mountainous, the sky is particularly blue, when the fire phoenix flowers bloom, a large area of the hillside is fiery red. Whether it's the game on the mountain, do you remember when I went back to Donghua Villa, I grilled fish for you? There was also a stream like that at the bottom of the hillside, and we went fishing and catching shrimp by the stream. Suizhou water and soil are very nourishing, you must like it there......"
Plum blossoms kept spinning at Xiaodong's feet, the weather was warm, Xiaodong was wearing silk stockings, and Meihua's fluffy tail was brushing around on the surface of her feet and ankles, slightly itchy.
Xiao Dong bent down to pick up the plum blossom, and the plum blossom stretched comfortably and curled up in Xiao Dong's arms honestly.
Qin Lie continued: "My mother and I live in Dongquan, and the scenery of Dongquan is particularly beautiful...... When I was a child, because I didn't have money, my mother changed her clothes for me to wear, and when I went out, someone chased after me and called me a little girl, and pulled my clothes and hair......"
Xiao Dong couldn't help but laugh lowly.
"Really?"
"Hmm. Later, in a fit of rage, I found a firewood knife and cut my hair in half. ”
What was Qin Lie like at that time? Xiao Dong closed his eyes and leaned against the window.
Well, can't imagine.
Pretty stupid, right?
When he came to the capital, his hair was not short.
"How old are you then?"
"Six, or seven?" Qin Lie shook his head: "I don't remember clearly." ”
Xiao Dong has never experienced poverty without clothes in his two lives, but it must be very sad to think that a boy is forced to wear women's clothes and be ridiculed and teased.
"Your mother...... What kind of person is he? ”
Qin Lie smiled slightly and said, "She looks very beautiful...... Yao Jinfeng is also good-looking, but when my mother was young, she should be better looking than her. ”
Wow, it's more beautiful than Yao Jinfeng, what kind of beauty does that have to be?
It is also possible that in the eyes of the son, the mother is the most beautiful person in the world. Xiao Dong has had an experience, a classmate praised his mother as very beautiful, Xiao Dong has always had great hopes before going to be a guest, but after seeing it, he felt very disappointed, that aunt is not ugly, but the eyebrows are small, the skin is yellow, and there is still a big gap from the beauty. Of course, in the eyes of every child, the mother may be the most beautiful person in the world.
"Don't worry, she knows you and will like you."
Xiao Dong gently scratched Meihua's chin, making the lazy cat dizzy and purring in his throat.
"My mother has a very quick temper, and I was beaten a lot when I was a child."
"Huh?"
"Really, the soles of the shoes, the brooms, and the whips, but I didn't suffer less."
"She doesn't know how to cook, either it's burned raw or burned. She was so anxious that she filled a lot of firewood into the stove and suffocated the fire. When I was a child, I went out to collect firewood, but I didn't know how to pick up the wood that couldn't be burned at all, and my mother filled it under the stove, so she couldn't make a fire just smoke, and she couldn't cook the rice for a long time......"
Xiao Dong giggled.
It doesn't sound like this mother-in-law is omnipotent or imperfect.
"But my mother is very good at business, at first she set up a small stall in the market to sell weaving ribbons, one or two copper money to make ends meet, I was studying at an old Xiucai at that time, every day as soon as I left school, I quickly ran to find her, sat on the side of the street and ate cakes together. It's too hot, the slate is hot, and I can't sit still......"
Until Qin Lie left, Xiao Dong still hadn't come back to his senses.
Suizhou, what is it like?
What kind of person is Qin Lie's mother, her future mother-in-law?
Xiao Dong began to feel no longer as dazed and panicked as he was at the beginning, and began to be curious and looking forward to the future.
She has spent more than ten years in the capital, and when she looks up, there is always a square and blue sky above her.
Is the sky in Suizhou bluer than in Beijing?
Hu Shi came in to see her standing in front of the window in a daze, wanting to say something, but pressed it down again.
Xiao Dong heard her footsteps, turned around and asked, "Mother Hu?" What's up? ”
"The material is here, will the county lord go to the front hall to pick it up, or let them send it here to pick it?"
"You don't have to go through the hassle of moving around, let's go to the hall and pick it up."
Hu Shi answered. Xiao Dong straightened his sideburns in the mirror and stroked his placket. It's still raining outside, and it's going on. The thin rain line weaved a dense net in the shadow in front of the eaves, and Xiaodong stretched out his hand to catch it, and the cool raindrops were on his hands.
I don't know if Qin Lie came to play the umbrella just now.
Presumably not, a person is lucky to avoid the eyes of others, an umbrella is open, so round that anyone can see it.
Although the rain was not heavy, I must have been drenched when I stood for so long, back and forth.
Next time, I'll have to tell him not to come over when it's raining, windy, or hot—
However, will he listen to persuasion?
This person has a very good idea, and most of them agree to it, but they still do it.
"County Lord?"
"Ah, let's go."
The materials are spread out and placed, and all kinds of colors and patterns are dazzling. Wu Di also came with her, and she was most familiar with these satin fabrics. The quality of the material, the production, the color, everything is like a number of treasures. What materials are suitable for what uses, one by one, it is clear to say.
Xiao Dong looked at the material in his eyes, and suddenly thought that what he had just asked was really unreasonable.
If you want to please your future mother-in-law, you should ask Qin Lie more just now, what does your mother-in-law like and hate, just listening to him chattering and talking for a long time, it is relieved, but she didn't touch the pulse of her future mother-in-law at all.
Does she like red? Or do you like green?
Do you like to spend a little bit of flowers, or do you want to be a little vegetarian? Do you prefer muslin or satin?
Xiao Dong also planned to make a pair of clothes and shoes to show filial piety to his future mother-in-law, but he didn't ask Qin Lie about these points just now.
What a mistake.
The Empress Dowager Shengci, Xiao Dong was very accurate. The clothes should be elegant and plain, Xiao Dong has never seen any gorgeous patterns in the plain robe of the Empress Dowager Shengci.
But the Empress Dowager Shengci is a person who has spent many years in the deep palace, the deep palace, the years, these two things are particularly sharp, and the edges, passions, preferences, and impulsiveness of people are ...... Piece by piece, the women living in the palace in the end seem to be cast out of a mold.
Qin Lie's mother, it shouldn't be like this.
She is an interracial woman, she doesn't talk about being gentle and frugal, she likes it, she likes it, and she can be ruthless for this to cut off all the past. Her in-laws couldn't tolerate her, and she survived so hard with her children.
He is very impatient, very stubborn and tenacious......
Xiao Dong was slightly distracted, and he yearned for infinitely.
If she were to be put in that situation, would she be able to persist and live like that?
I don't know.
Maybe she can, people, no one knows if she doesn't force her part.
Maybe she simply can't face it. She hadn't experienced that kind of life – she hadn't even taken on any responsibilities on her own in her life.
"This ......" Wu Di stopped, pointed to a piece of material and said, "Where did this come from?" ”
The person on the side said, "The horses here are all sent by the treasure from all over the world." ”
As soon as Xiao Dong heard these four words, he suddenly came to his senses.
Those horses don't look very special, just look at the color and luster, which is much worse than the jacquard satin and woven gold satin just now.
Wu Di was more energetic than her, and her eyes lit up when she looked at those horses. The living pervert saw the beauty, and the gluttony saw the meal.
"This is Poyi's flower brocade...... Wu Di's hands are trembling: "This...... This, this is really a brocade......"
She repeated these two sentences, and Hu couldn't help asking: "Master Wu, I don't know what is special about this flower brocade?" ”
But looking at Master Wu's appearance, she definitely didn't have the heart to answer the question now. Looking at this fanaticism, what Master Wu wants to do most should be to pounce on these flowers and brocades as his own, and not separate them from eating and sleeping.
"My master...... Before his death, my master also said that he had never seen the brocade in his life, so he regretted it for the rest of his life......"
Xiao Dong asked curiously, "Master Wu has never seen this kind of material before?" So how did you recognize it at once? ”
"The flower brocade is different, this kind of brocade, even the most capable Poyi girl, it is difficult to weave a horse in a lifetime. You see, what color is this? ”
"Su Qing." There are no flowers on it, so I don't see anything unusual.
Master Wu shook the material more than two feet away and lifted it diagonally: "Look again." ”
"Like...... Smoky purple? ”
The angle and the change of light make the color even different.
"Let's take a closer look."
Xiao Dong was a little puzzled, and then looked carefully.
This material is not plain, there is a layer of shallow patterns floating on it, blooming flowers, stretched branches and leaves, colorful butterflies fluttering between the flowers-
"This ...... How is this weaved? ”
Wu Di looked fanatical: "Yes, if this is in the sun, the color will look better." I was a little skeptical at one glance, but a second look will be certain. This must be the brocade, yes. Not all Poyi women can weave, they can weave. If you have a skillful hand, you will start from elementary school, knit it out to cut a wedding dress for yourself, no one in our Daxia knows how to weave it, my master saw it once in his early years, but he couldn't study it carefully. Later, when I entered the palace and worked in the Needlework Bureau, I had no chance. ”
"Doesn't Po Yi pay tribute every year?"
"I haven't paid tribute to this, only Caijin, Shusu, and Luobu."
Suizhou is close to Poyi, and this must have been specially obtained by Qin Lie.
But since it's such a rare thing, why didn't he mention it just now?
