Chapter 172 Organization
Hua Sanniang saluted Huo Roufeng, her demeanor was like a willow swinging in the wind, Huo Roufeng said: "I haven't seen you for a while." ”
Hua Sanniang smiled coquettishly: "Shuangjing Hutong is an idler, and if you are worried about hindering your eyes, the slave will find a place to shrink." ”
Huo Roufeng also guessed that she couldn't hear the truth from her, so she didn't bother to ask her again, her eyes swept and saw the delicate embroidery on her sleeves, the maid in the house sewed new clothes, and also sewed them for Hua Sanniang.
Hua Sanniang is a good female red, and she can also play the flute, guqin, and pipa...... White Narcissus can tell stories and be good at ventriloquism, but they are different from ordinary people.
Huo Roufeng thought so in her heart, her expression was not different, she sat next to Mrs. Huo, because it was an open hall, and the maids and wives stood in the yard in twos and threes, Bai Narcissus often came and went to the backyard of large families, and it was the first time she saw such a scene, and the Huo family actually asked the maids and wives to come to listen to the books.
This is not in line with other people's homes.
But whether the Huo family is a master or a slave, their expressions are very generous, but they do not feel disobedient.
Today she is still talking about the legend of the empress, about the empress led the army into the capital, the former emperor killed his children and favorite concubines, but did not have the courage to commit suicide, when the empress broke into the Forbidden City, she saw him sitting on the top of the star-picking tower and crying bitterly.
Mrs. Huo couldn't help laughing, and said to Huo Roufeng: "It's really nonsense, the king of a country can kill his wife and daughter, why don't he even have the courage to commit suicide?" ”
Huo Roufeng knew that there was no record of this matter among the people, but everything related to the empress, even the matter of the former emperor mourning, was also sealed in the dust.
She said: "Emperor Wai killed his wife and daughter, but he didn't want them to be humiliated after being captured, but some people killed their wives and daughters, but they were trying to usurp the throne for themselves. ”
Mrs. Huo glanced at her sister suspiciously and said nothing.
After speaking this paragraph, Huo Roufeng asked Bai Shuixian with a smile: "I heard that you can ventriloquist, why don't you have a paragraph." ”
White Narcissus was blessed, and the moment her body was raised, everyone heard a burst of birdsong, and the sound changed from far and near, from one to two, three, and a flock.
Looking at White Narcissus again, she was covering her face with a gold-painted fan, and the three big characters on the fan were "White Narcissus".
Everyone was not sure if the voice came from her mouth for a while, if not, she was just going to perform ventriloquism, but if so, why did these birds cry as if they were coming from all directions?
Birds cry bursts, sometimes lead to singing, sometimes chanting and singing, sometimes complaining, sometimes cheerful and bright, everyone is like being in a huge forest, a hundred birds are singing together, like a fairyland.
The bird's call gradually changed from dense to sparse, mixed with the fluttering sound of flapping wings, just like when it came, these sounds from near to far, some of them chirped for a long time, and the chirping sound was getting more and more distant, and some were reluctant to give up, as if they were hovering in the air for a long time before gradually moving away.
Finally calm was restored around, as if these birds were everywhere just for this party, or this is the legendary hundred birds and phoenixes.
When the folding fan that covered the front was lowered, the sound of birds was completely gone, and the needles falling inside and outside the open hall could be heard, and almost everyone was wondering, was everything real just now, or was it in a dream?
After a long while, Mrs. Huo said loudly: "Okay, reward!" ”
Everyone woke up like a dream, and the maid didn't dare to applaud loudly, but Huo Roufeng had already slapped her face, Bai Shuixian's ventriloquism was much better than the juggling team sent to the palace in her previous life.
Mama Fan asked the maids to bring in a tray, and on the tray was fifty taels of silver neatly stacked.
Bai Shuixian bent his knees and thanked him, Huo Roufeng pretended to call the maid over, turned to look at Hua Sanniang, and saw that Hua Sanniang was talking to the little maids around her, laughing so much that the flowers and branches trembled, and there was no slightest inappropriateness in her expression.
Huo Roufeng asked people to bring water cards and asked her sister to order books, and Mrs. Huo was on the rise, so she clicked two paragraphs in a row.
Huo Roufeng had already gotten up and gone back to her yard, and Zhang Shengping came to tell her a new message.
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, Bai Shuixian goes to Jing'an Temple to burn incense.
There is nothing special about this, on the fifteenth day of the first day of each month, the Jing'an Temple is crowded with people, and there are good men and women who come and go, especially women, and the grandmothers in the house will occasionally take leave in those two days, and go to Jing'an Temple to burn incense together.
In the capital, it is the closest to Jing'an Temple.
But Huo Roufeng intuitively felt that Bai Shuixian was not a good man and a woman.
She said to Zhang Shengping: "You pick two people and stare at Bai Shuixian for many years to see where she has been and who she has been in contact with." ”
When Hua Sanniang was cheeky and wanted to come to the capital with her, Huo Roufeng had an intuition that Hua Sanniang was going to come to the capital to do a very important thing.
Hua Sanniang came with the Huo family, and Bai Shuixian came with a not-so-famous troupe.
The troupe couldn't get along in the capital, and they had already returned to Henan, but Hua Sanniang still stayed in the capital, just like Hua Sanniang, the reason why they came to the capital was to do a big thing.
Hua Sanniang wants to follow the Huo family to the capital, and what she wants is the identity of the Huo family.
In the eyes of outsiders, this status is not high, but it cannot be denied that this is a righteous and bright identity.
The reason why Bai Shuixian wants to come with the troupe may be so that after the troupe leaves, she can borrow the name of the troupe to find a messenger in the capital who can enter and exit the back houses of big families in a dignified manner.
The female dependents of large families, in addition to burning incense in the temple, usually listen to dramas and books occasionally.
Bai Shuixian has been in the troupe, and she can sing a few words in eight or nine times out of ten, she can tell stories, and she has to go to the temple to burn incense on the fifteenth day of the new year.
Thinking about all this, if she wants not to offend these female dependents, she can say a few words to them, and if she can still meet by chance in Jing'an Temple, it will be another fate.
But listening to Zhanhuai's tone, Hua Sanniang is not his person.
At the beginning, Huo Roufeng thought that Hua Sanniang was sent by the Duke of Min to supervise his youngest son, so Zhanhuai sent Hua Sanniang to her.
But now she suddenly understood, the letter Zhanhuai wrote at that time may not mean this, he said that he couldn't support Hua Sanniang, not that Hua Sanniang was the Duke of Min or the prince of the world Zhanchen, but that Hua Sanniang may belong to a special team under the command of the Zhan family, Zhanhuai is not the Duke of Min, nor is he his eldest brother, therefore, he has no right to support these people.
