Chapter 21: Amber
Yushu went to see her father. Feng Pomegranate also went to see his father, took a few good wine brewed by Xixilou and the angelica prepared by Uncle Shun, and ran to Tianjing Street.
The house of the pavilion Tao Mu is also two-in, which is much larger than the two in Yushu, with a verandah and a garden, quiet and elegant. Pavilion Tao Mu waited in the front hall from early in the morning, and there was no sixteen Niang figures on the sun, so it was inevitable to be anxious.
"Steward Jin, how far is the place where Sixteen Niang lives from us?"
Steward Jin roughly estimated, "The carriage runs slowly in the city, and it takes three or four moments of work." β
"Oh."
After taking two sips of tea, Guan Taomu asked again, "Steward Jin, did Sixteen Niang say when will you come?" β
"The lady said it was before noon."
"Oh."
Eating a sweet orange, Guan Taomu asked again: "Steward Jin, has Sixteen Niang's favorite milk ice and snow prepared?" β
"Master, it's cold in winter, so it's not appropriate to use ice and snow."
"Oh."
Pavilion Tao Mu smashed his mouth, "Steward Jin, has the lamb been stewed in the kitchen?" It's too late to make it. β
When Steward Jin heard this, he smiled all over his face, "I'll take a look." With that, he slipped out the door in a hurry. Just as he was facing the servant, the servant said happily: "The lady's carriage has arrived at the door." β
Thankfully, it's finally here. Steward Jin hurriedly slipped back again, "Master, master." The lady has arrivedβ"
Guan Tao Mu dropped the half-eaten Wufu cake, brushed off the crumbs on his mouth, straightened his collar, sat upright, and picked up the parent's pie, but it took a lot of effort to put away the smile on his lips.
Feng Pomegranate is still in a dark gray shirt and skirt, with a white jade osmanthus flower on the sideburns, walked to the door, gathered the temples that were not messy, settled down, and then stepped into the house.
When he arrived at the pavilion Tao Mu, he knelt down on his knees, and his forehead touched the ground heavily, "Unfilial girl Sixteen Niang, meet my father." "I knocked my head three times in a row, and when I raised my face, my forehead was red.
Pavilion Tao Mu's heart warmed, and then sour. Sitting there, Mu Mu didn't speak.
If he doesn't call out, he won't be able to seal the pomegranate. Father and daughter, you look at me, I look at you, stalemate.
Steward Jin was in a hurry, obviously the master's tone had long since disappeared, why did he screw his jaw again?
How did he know that at this moment, Guan Taomu couldn't speak. If he opens his mouth, he will cry. He is the head of the family, how can he lose his temper in front of his daughter.
After a long pause, Guan Tao Mu said, "Get up." β
Feng Pomegranate's legs were sore, and the maidservant helped her to sit down under the head of the pavilion Taomu.
Clearing his throat, Guan Taomu asked, "I heard that you are in trouble at Sheephorn Slope?" β
"Yes."
"I heard that it was a good thing done by the daughter of the assassin?"
"Yes."
"I heard that the prince sent a flower doctor girl over?"
"Yes."
He asked a lot of questions, and she answered one word, which is really annoying! Pavilion Tao Mu pursed his lips in displeasure and looked at Steward Jin.
Butler Jin was not having a good time beside him. If the father and daughter have anything to say, they can't say it happily, and it's hard for them to help and dilute the mud.
Make a look at the maidservant, and the maidservant will understand, and go to the kitchen to bring snacks. Butler Jin took the tray, accompanied by a smiling face, and came to Feng Pomegranate, "Lady, this is your favorite crystal dragon and phoenix cake." β
To be precise, Feng Pomegranate only likes to eat crystal dragon and phoenix cakes made of amber.
couldn't bear to brush the face of the golden housekeeper, Feng Pomegranate reluctantly picked up one, took a small bite, tasted it carefully, tears condensed in her eyelashes, and her voice trembled, "Yes, this is amber......" As soon as she tasted it, she knew that it was a crystal dragon and phoenix cake made of amber.
Amber has been serving the pomegranate since she was a child, and she is also her maid in marriage. Feng Pomegranate originally wanted to go to her in-law's house to find a good family for Amber, but because she had nothing to do and was not loved by her in-laws. Amber's marriage was delayed, and this delay was delayed until the return of the pomegranate. Amber intends not to marry a pomegranate for the rest of her life. Feng Pomegranate was not allowed, and the master promised her to the son of the golden housekeeper.
Later, Feng Pomegranate went to Yongnian County alone, and then confiscated the personal maids, all of whom were doing chores and running errands.
Although Amber is three years older than Jin Si, Jin Si is honest and honest, and he also likes Amber and treats her very well. Soon after the two got married, they gave birth to a son and a daughter one after another, and their lives were quite harmonious.
This trip to Liangzhou, Amber entrusted her children to her mother-in-law, saying that she would follow her.
"Yes! It's amber! β
Pavilion Tao Mu said that it was amber, and Butler Jin brought in Amber, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
When they met again after a few years, the two clasped hands, tears in their eyes, and were full of emotion.
Amber has a ruddy complexion and bright eyes, slightly plumper than before marriage. As soon as she saw the sealed pomegranate, Amber was heartbroken, and said in a trembling voice: "Lady, you, Qingding." β
experienced the tragic death of her husband and the disharmony between father and daughter, and she is still alone. The fragile heart of the sealed pomegranate has long been riddled with holes. But seeing that Amber had gotten the happiness that she couldn't get in her life, Feng Pomegranate was very relieved, smiled tearfully, and asked her, "What about the children?" β
"Follow my mother-in-law at home ......" said the child, Amber with teardrops on her cheeks, and also smiled.
Amber had something to say to Feng Pomegranate, but because there was a pavilion Tao Mu by his side, he had to endure it. Feng Pomegranate is the same, he begged Tao Mu at the moment, and asked Steward Jin again, agreeing that she would take Amber to Ling'er Hutong for a few days.
Pavilion Tao Mu dialed two more maidservants to go with him.
Amber wiped away her tears, retired with Butler Kim, and told him to talk to the father and daughter.
Feng Pomegranate sat down again, and Pavilion Tao Mu asked, "Xixi Building's business is booming, right?" His daughter, who held up a large restaurant by herself, straightened her back proudly.
"Well, business is going well. Is my father okay? β
"Good! Good! What about you? Is it still used in Yongnian County? β
"Accustomed to it, not accustomed to it."
"Oh? How do you say that? β
"Food, clothing, and transportation are not as good as at home, I was not used to it at first, but slowly I got used to it. After getting used to it, it becomes even more homesick. Feng Pomegranate's eyes were moist and bright, and faint tears appeared.
Pavilion Tao Mu was moved and said loudly: "Go home and live!" Live for a lifetime! Your father bears the expense. Whoever dares to chew his tongue behind his back will be expelled from the house! "In the past few years, Guan Taomu has also figured it out. If the daughter doesn't want to marry again, she won't marry. With his pavilion pottery family, can he still not afford it?
"Father......" Feng Pomegranate was speechless with emotion, and tears rolled down.
After a long time, he said: "Father, in fact, I also have plans. β
"Oh? How do you plan to do it? β
"I think, when the little lady and Lu return to the palace, I will sell the Xixi Mansion and the Grange, and go back to Donggu to find a place to settle down. When the time comes, my father can go to my place to relax, okay? β
Guan Taomu nodded, "It's good." However, living alone is pure, but it is also lonely. As he spoke, he became sad. Then he changed the subject, "Is the little lady okay?" The prince said that she hit her head, was she seriously injured? β
"It's been good for a long time, and now I can eat and sleep. I also entered the Yongnian County Missionary Institute, smart and sensible. Talking about Yushu, Feng Pomegranate couldn't stop boasting, and his tone was paused, and he said with regret: "It's a pity that I lost one hand, otherwise, it would be really perfect." β
"There is no perfect person in this world." Pavilion Tao Mu looked at the sealed pomegranate with a smile, "I asked the golden housekeeper to help you pay attention, there must be a suitable land, I will buy it and give it to you, you don't need to spend money." β
Feng Pomegranate couldn't bear to brush off his father's kindness, and nodded in agreement, "Okay!" It's all up to the father. β
This is too right for the temper of the pavilion Tao Mu, his mouth is grinning, and he is smiling without seeing his teeth.
The father and daughter chatted all over the world, harmonious and happy.
