Chapter 128: Sisters
Chapter 128: Sisters
In the first few days after moving back to King An's Mansion, Xiaodong was in a bit of a trance. She often thought that she was still in the new house, and when she opened her eyes and looked at the tent above her head, she couldn't remember for a moment when it was and where she was. Then I gradually woke up and remembered everything.
This is the Ann Palace.
She has lived here for more than ten years and has spent so many happy, carefree times.
Outside the window, Hongfu and Miao'er were whispering, and her familiar smell was permeating them.
Just as she had been when she was not yet married.
"The county lord is awake?" Hongfu came in with a basin of water, came over to hang up the tent, and served Xiaodong to get up.
"When?" It was cloudy outside, not like in the morning, but like the sky in the afternoon and near evening.
"It's three quarters past the hour." Hongfu combed Xiaodong's hair: "Uncle left early in the morning, and said that he wouldn't let you quarrel." ”
Xiao Dong was taken aback: "It's already so late?" ”
Her routine has always been very regular, except when she is sick, she rarely sleeps. Today, for the first time, I slept until mid-morning.
"You're tired of moving around the house." Hongfu pulled her hair neatly into a bun.
Xiao Dong's hand wearing the earrings paused.
Maybe it's tired.
"The county lord is up?"
Xiao Dong greeted with a smile: "Mother Qi, please come in." ”
Zhao Lu's nurse Qi is still in charge of the affairs of Zhao Lu's yard, she has always been capable and neat, a little strict, but Xiao Dong is not afraid of her.
"When the prince left, he ordered me to come and see, what is lacking here for the county lord? After all, this house hasn't been lived in for a long time. ”
"I'm sorry for you, I don't lack anything here. What else did my brother say? ”
Qi shook his head with a smile, and handed over the box in his hand: "I didn't say anything, the county lord came back this time, and the palace was much more lively outside and outside." ”
After sending Qi away, Xiao Dong opened the box and looked at it. Inside is a set of four seals. Under the influence of Qin Lie, Zhao Lu would also carve some small things by himself in his spare time.
Xiao Dong picked it up and looked at it, and ordered with a smile: "Go and get the ink." ”
Spread out the paper, dipped it in the ink, and Xiao Dongping took the seal and covered it firmly on the paper. The red imprints on the snow-white paper are particularly distinct.
Xiao Dong burst out laughing.
Hongfu served by Xiaodong's side and recognized a lot of words. She took a look, and the first chapter was originally a poem: white fur floating in green water, and there was a big fat goose with a long neck in the corner.
Hongfu couldn't help laughing, thinking that this chapter of the prince was only afraid that it would be carved to relieve the county lord's boredom.
The next Xiao Dong cover came out, looking at the seal and didn't know what to think, Hongfu was about to see it, Xiao Dong stretched out his hand to cover it.
Is it that it matters that you can't see it?
Hongfu took a half step back.
The corners of Xiao Dong's mouth twitched, and his face was sour with a suffocating smile.
Zhao Lu is really-
There is also a poem on it: the spring garden can't be closed, and a red apricot sticks out of the wall are carved on the top. The cinnabar red apricot blossoms are fat and fruitful.
The third chapter is engraved with the word winter. The words are delicate and gentle, and they are clearly Xiaodong's own handwriting. Presumably, Zhao Lu carved this, and he deliberately found her words and carved them out in duplicate. Xiao Dong has also carved chapters before, and the engraved ones are idle numbers taken when playing. At that time, Zhao Zhi carved a "Zhiruo", which was the idea that Xiaodong gave her, Angelica Angelica Du Ruo is a medicine, and it can also be used as a vanilla. Zhao Zhi also praised Xiaodong for her good achievement, but she didn't know that Xiaodong secretly laughed and broke her stomach, and didn't tell her that there was once a book in which the Emei beauty Zhou Zhiruo was very famous.
Thinking of Zhao Zhi, Xiao Dong's mood gradually sank.
I don't know how Zhao Zhi is doing now.
She lives alone, with a child, in a completely unfamiliar place - however, she has a large dowry, and the Qin family should take care of her.
Hongfu saw that she was distracted, and asked softly, "County Lord, do you want to change the paper?" ”
Xiao Dong came back to his senses, pulled out the paper in front of him, spread out another piece of paper, and printed the fourth chapter as well.
"Shunhua?"
Xiao Dong whispered, a little incomprehensible.
What does that mean?
She didn't know, and of course Hongfu didn't know.
Zhao Lu had already returned to Chengling, and Xiao Dong couldn't find anyone if he wanted to solve his doubts.
She pondered these two words for most of the day, and when she spoke with King An in the evening, she asked casually. King An smiled slightly, and wrote three words.
Yin Shunhua.
Xiao Dong had an epiphany.
Ah, I see.
The people are beautiful, and the names are also beautiful.
King An smiled and nodded a little on each of the last two words: "The next time he comes back, you can take this and ask him." Presumably he didn't think much of it for a moment, and then he put it in a box and gave it to you. ”
Is there anything in this world that King An doesn't know? Xiao Dong still just knew Miss Yin's name.
Xiao Dong pouted: "But I sent it to the wrong person." ”
When Zhao Lu carved these two words, he should have thought of Miss Yin, right?
Xiao Dong held the medal, maybe it was an illusion, and he always felt that the chapter was a little hot, as if it would burn his hands.
She was curious to die, and King An gave her an idea: "Haven't you also seen Miss Yin?" Bring some Fuling cakes, and then load some Suizhou tea and pens, and go to Yin Mansion to sit. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Dong wanted to scratch his head: "Is this okay?" ”
Before the eight characters were skimmed, she ran to the girl's house - no good thing happened, but something extraneous happened.
"What's there to worry about, just go."
King An said so, and Xiao Dong also had a bottom in his heart.
She also really wanted to see Miss Yin.
As a result, I didn't wait for her to come to the door, and the opportunity was delivered to the door by herself.
The sixth princess came to the door, and the first sentence of the split was to ask the teacher: "Hello, I've been back to Kyoto for so many days, and I haven't seen you go to see me."
Her belly was already bulging, and she was a little plump, although she was not polite, but there was a smile on her face.
Xiao Dong hurriedly asked her to sit down: "Why are you here?" It's not good to stay at home at this time. Didn't I have someone give you a generous gift? ”
"What is the rarity of gifts, I am so bored every day that I am waiting for someone to talk to me. If you don't come over, then I'll have to come. ”
She looked much more cheerful than the last time we met, and laughed several times after talking for a while. Without waiting for Xiao Dong to ask, she couldn't help but say it first.
"Luo Wei, he is ...... now The temper is much better. I don't usually run around, but when I have nothing to do, I accompany me at home, play chess, and talk......" The sixth princess's face was slightly red, her smile was full of joy, and her hand gently stroked her bulging abdomen: "We have thought of a list of names for the child." ”
It's ahead of its time.
"I don't know what about men and women, how do you choose a name?"
"Both men and women took it." The sixth princess wrenched her fingers and counted out a few names, saying that she would use this name to give birth to a son. Then he took his other hand and continued to count, saying that he would use this name to give birth to a daughter.
cough, Xiao Dong cleared his throat: "It's very thoughtful." Even if you don't need it this time, you can use it again next time. ”
The sixth princess smiled: "Isn't it." ”
It seems that the pregnancy has greatly improved their relationship as a couple, thank goodness. It seems that the sixth princess has a much better temper, and she is by no means as bitter and mean as she was at the beginning, holding her breath, feeling that everyone around her is slow to treat her. Luo Wei also sounded a lot more mature and stable. The relationship between husband and wife also needs to be managed well, both of them are competitive, so it's strange to fight and scold each other every day. But if both of them took a step back, then the matter would suddenly be widened and rounded.
"Then when you come out today, can your family rest assured? How do you feel right now? ”
The sixth princess bit her lip, leaned over and whispered, "He sent me to the door, but he didn't come in." I used to retch a few days ago, especially when I woke up in the morning, and it was uncomfortable for a while. But these days have been better, and the doctor also said that it is quite stable, and it doesn't matter if you go out. ”
Wow...... Luo Wei is really considerate, from stunned to three-good, this change is simply a leap.
"Then why don't you call him in? And not an outsider. ”
"He went to the four seas to gather treasures to find your house, and he hasn't seen him for a long time, so he must have a lot to say. Hurry up, tell me, how is Suizhou? Is it fun to go out? ”
"Well, we walked back and forth by water, the scenery along the way was very good, I saw a lot of things I hadn't seen before, and I also tasted a lot of famous dishes and snacks from other places......"
The sixth princess listened leisurely: "Alas, listening to you is so interesting, I want to go and see it." ”
"It's not that there is no chance, the Luo family's hometown is in Dongzhou, right? Let Luo Wei accompany you to take a look—but after you give birth. ”
The sixth princess sighed: "Who said it wasn't. By the way, the fourth sister is going to have a treat again, do you know? ”
Xiao Dong shook his head.
The four princesses are long-sleeved and good at dancing, and they have a good relationship with the wives and ladies of various families in Beijing. Although her colt could not develop in her career, she had a lot of business in her family, with a wide range of people and many connections, and I heard that the business was quite prosperous.
"Then I'll send you a post the day after tomorrow." The sixth princess said: "There are a lot of people invited this time, I'm too lazy to go, do you want to go?" ”
"Well, I haven't seen the fourth sister since I returned to Beijing, if I don't go...... It doesn't seem good. Xiao Dong asked casually: "Who have you invited?" ”
"I don't know, anyway, she spreads a lot of posts every time."
Xiao Dong's heart moved: "I used to know a girl, but I haven't seen her for a while, I wonder if she will go?" ”
"Who? I'll ask for you. ”
"She lives in a family at the head of Zhuangyuan Lane in Guanglufang, and her surname is Yin."
The news of the sixth princess is really well-informed, and there will be a reply after noon, and this Yin girl happens to be among the invited.
The sixth princess leaned on the soft couch and asked lazily, "Who is it worth thinking about?" ”
Xiao Dong only said: "She is a talented woman with a good temperament." ”
"When you say that, I want to see it too." The sixth princess pursed her lips: "It sounds like someone." ”
Needless to say, Xiao Dong also knows who she is insinuating with.
The sixth princess has always been at odds with the fifth princess.
However, she thought about it sideways, and her tone was softer than just now: "But it's not easy for her, and her life is very bitter." The five horses are gone, and she has no children, how can she ...... for the rest of her life?"
The misfortune of the fifth princess finally resolved the hostility that she had accumulated for many years. It was the first time for Xiao Dong to hear the sixth princess so calmly, and he mentioned her with kindness.

On the first day of kindergarten for Big Orange, I adapted well. I ate lunch and slept during the nap. But if I send it tomorrow, I'm sure I'll still cry......
When I picked him up in the afternoon, my heart was sour, and I hugged him for a long time and didn't let go~~
