Chapter 503: The Cherry Orchard
The maid who led the way next to her immediately explained: "Don't be annoyed by talents, this is the fifth lady of the Xiao family of the Xiao clan in Qiliang, and her temperament is a little lively." I hope that talented people will be more responsible! ”
Talented?
Xiao Jin'er looked at Wen Qingwu and glanced at her from top to bottom, "Talented......" she muttered, after thinking about it, and then glanced at Wen Qingwu with disdain.
In the end, he didn't say much, just turned sideways and got out of the way he was blocking.
It's just that there is a little disdain on his face.
It turned out to be from the palace.
It's just that what about the head of the palace, that talent is just a five-grade palace concubine. If you are favored, you will not be just a talented person.
Xiao Jin'er thought about this, and "snorted" from her nose again.
Wen Qingwu has never taken the likes and dislikes of others to heart. She bypassed Xiao Jin'er, and then walked away with an indifferent face.
Xiao Jin'er looked at the figure with a straight face, with a jealous face.
Where did this woman come from? Is he a talented person in the palace...... Growing up like this, he's just a talented person.
Xiao Jin'er is the youngest daughter of the Xiao family in the palm of her hand, and she grew up in a honey pot. There is nothing you can get from what you have always wanted, what you like. In addition to appearance.
No matter how much you like it that isn't your own, you can't get it. If she looks better than herself and can't get it, she wants to ruin it.
She doesn't like to look better than herself.
As for what Xiao Jin'er was thinking, Wen Qingwu naturally didn't know. She didn't want to know either. Follow the maid who led the way to the cherry orchard.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, a slave and maid guarding the door handed a basket to the maid in front of her. The maid turned over and gave it to Wen Qingwu with both hands, "The talented person takes this basket, and the ones that will be picked later will be put here." ”
Wen Qingwu took it, and his gaze swept over the entire courtyard.
The yard is very large, with two acres. The cherry trees in the yard are growing just right, and they are full of cherries. This cherry is one of the best varieties of Sannan, and it is extremely difficult to raise here in Kyoto.
Not to mention how much energy it takes to take care of these cherry trees in this way, and how many qualified gardeners need to be hired. The cherries of that tree alone, transported from Shannan after the end of the year, were not damaged at all, and when the season came, the fruit of the tree was grown, and I don't know how much it would take to spend this thought.
The sun was shining brightly, and the whole yard was shining.
In addition to the cherry trees in the cherry orchard, there are many daughters of the right age carrying baskets like Wen Qingwu, and their maidservants are carrying their own maids to cut the cherries on the trees with scissors.
There are also stone tables in the woods for people to rest, scattered in the courtyard in twos and threes, and now seventy or eighty percent of the stone tables are already full of people.
While gently fanning the wind with a fan, he ate the tea served by the servant.
There are few people behind Wen Qingwu, and there is only one Fan Yunxian. It was too low-key when he came in, and no one noticed it at first.
I just went into the yard and began to cut the cherries by myself.
By the time she was noticed, the cherries in the basket had already been cut in a large handful.
In a familiar circle, I suddenly found an unfamiliar face, or an extremely outstanding face, anyone will notice.
The familiar ones began to exchange their heads and began to look sideways.
From beginning to end, Wen Qingwu seemed to be unaware that he was being looked at by others, and kept carefully cutting the cherries on the tree.
The gossip of others came out after the ears passed.
There are only one or two, a little older than one or two years old, looking at Wen Qingwu to know who it is. After all, she was in the limelight during the Dragon Boat Festival a few years ago, and that time she played against the crown princess and that piano song, she hadn't seen or heard it for many years, and she didn't even remember it anymore. But only when you see people, you will never forget.
The memories in the picture are too deep.
and those who went out with Emperor Zhende that day, but they were squeezed away by Li Jianzhi himself.
So that year, the Dragon Boat Festival went to the female relatives in the palace, and now in this cherry orchard, I saw Wen Qingwu, and after thinking about it, I suddenly realized who she was.
It's just that there are too few women who are qualified to participate in the palace banquet on the Dragon Boat Festival after all, and there are only a few after counting.
I don't know, there are more to go. There are many people who can't see Wen Qingwu's appearance.
The women in the harem are the best in the world, and they are still the best in that group, needless to say, how attractive they are.
But because I don't know, no one will come forward stupidly to find trouble.
This naturally does not include Xiao Jin'er.
Since Wen Qingwu left, Xiao Jin'er specially asked people to inquire about Wen Qingwu.
has been in the palace for more than three years, and has not been promoted at all. I heard that she has now been reduced to a slave. became a palace maid serving the Son of Heaven.
turned out to be a palace maid, it will definitely not be a good thing. It may not be a simple character to hesitate to follow the emperor out of the palace before, but I didn't expect it to be just because she was a palace maid.
Since she is just a big palace maid, not to mention the talented person she looks down on, even a royal wife can't compare.
No wonder he was able to follow the emperor out of the palace and come to King Wu's mansion.
And said that he was a domineering man before entering the palace?
Xiao Jin'er walked all the way from the opera garden to the cherry orchard. Standing at the gate of the cherry orchard, looking at Wen Qingwu picking cherries inside, full of hostility.
The last thing she can see is the domineering person.
Thinking of Fang Cai, she ignored herself so much, her face was indifferent as if she was just a slave who didn't see her, so high up and didn't know what to say.
It turned out that she was a slave.
Xiao Jin'er walked towards the cherry orchard with her steps.
Although everyone in the courtyard looked at Wen Qingwu, there were also people who whispered and laughed, they were all women from the family, and there were still rules that should be there, and no one provoked anyone.
It's just that after Xiao Jin'er came in, it was different.
The women in the courtyard all looked at Xiao Jin'er, who was walking towards Wen Qingwu with a displeased face on her skirt, and all of them had excitement in their eyes.
Who doesn't know that the five ladies of the Xiao family are well-known for their unruly and domineering in Beijing!
said that she was a woman from a family, but if she really wanted to have a seizure, shrews couldn't compare!
Wen Qingwu was still carrying a basket full of cherries in his hand, and suddenly saw the figure walking towards him in the afterglow. Wen Qingwu didn't turn his head, as if he didn't know.
Xiao Jin'er stepped forward, stretched out her elbow directly, and reached over.
Although all his kung fu has been taken away by Ah Wu, he has learned it in his previous life and practiced it in this life, which is not as good as Ah Wu and Si Mu, but it is not even a boudoir lady who can't stop it.
So when Xiao Jin'er handed it over, Wen Qingwu turned sideways and got out of the way.
Xiao Jin'er's hand that had exerted her strength had no support, and her body leaned to the side.
Fortunately, the girl who followed behind her quickly helped the person immediately, so that Xiao Jin'er would not fall.
While supporting Xiao Jin'er, the girl behind her didn't forget to glance at Wen Qingwu. The master who followed him has been following for a long time, and the maids around him don't know what to do.
After Xiao Jin'er was supported by her own girl, she stood firmly, then raised her head and said angrily to Wen Qingwu, "Why are you pushing me?!" ”
Wen Qingwu carried a basket in one hand and scissors in the other, looking at Xiao Jin'er expressionlessly.
It's like slamming a fist on the cotton with all his strength, and the fire in the nest is getting bigger and bigger. directly stepped forward and knocked down the basket of cherries in Wen Qingwu's hand, "I asked why you pushed me?!" ”
Wen Qingwu never thought that a woman from a family would do it directly in person. She thought that she was a woman in Beijing, and the person who could come to Li Ke's wedding banquet must also be a nobleman. Even if you don't like it between women, it's just a stumbling block or a yin in private.
How could I have thought that there is such a person who can open his eyes and say nonsense in front of him, and even do it directly.
In fact, she can still hide if she wants to, but this dodge will easily expose her skills.
Although her body is compared to Ah Wu, they are the kung fu of a three-legged cat. can be the personal person next to the Son of Heaven, even the slightest mistake can be infinitely magnified.
Therefore, when Xiao Jin'er stepped forward and knocked over her basket, Wen Qingwu didn't move.
She just lowered her head slowly, looking at the cherries scattered all over the ground.
One by one, they are so red that people are greedy.
Seeing that Wen Qingwu still didn't speak, Xiao Jin'er became even more popular. Who is this? Wouldn't you be angry? What is the high and cold pretend?
As she spoke, she directly raised her foot and stepped on the cherries in that place, and the red juice burst out on the soles of her shoes, as if she was still angry, Xiao Jin'er stuck hard.
Wen Qingwu raised her head and looked at Xiao Jin'er, inexplicable.
Yes, it's just inexplicable, she's still not angry. It's really not a little angry.
It's not just one person who can make her angry. These irrelevant people, no matter how angry they are, even if they die in front of her, she will not move a little bit of anger.
Xiao Jin'er looked at Wen Qingwu's indifferent face, she was about to go crazy. The other party was indifferent, and the more stupid he became! Why does she look so high?
But she's just a servant!
"I'm sorry." Xiao Jin'er glared at Wen Qingwu, gritted her teeth and said very clearly, "If you heard it, apologize to me." Her voice was not suppressed at all, low and threatening.
If it weren't for the courtyard of someone else's house, if it weren't for the fact that there were so many people next to her, Xiao Jin'er would have wanted to do it very much!
That's right, it's okay to hit the person in front of you directly.
Apologize? What do you apologize for?
Wen Qingwu didn't know. When you turn around, you have to leave, just like a square man, and you have to lift your feet indifferently.
Where would Xiao Jin'er let her go this time, and directly stepped forward and stopped in front of Wen Qingwu.
"Want to go?" Xiao Jin'er stopped in front of Wen Qingwu and opened her hand to block her way, "Didn't you learn the rules in the palace?" ”
Wen Qingwu looked at the little girl in front of him, who was only about ten years old, a head shorter than herself, but her momentum was extremely arrogant, completely different from her own introvertedness.
"Rules?" Wen Qingwu finally opened her mouth, and then glanced at the slave behind Xiao Jin'er.
Wen Qingwu's voice is not like Xiao Jin'er, Xiao Jin'er is too young, and her voice is still shy. Wen Qingwu is different, her voice is very quiet, just as quiet as her person.
