Chapter 80: The Second Watch

Xiaocui smiled and didn't say anything, just seriously helped Tang Haitang pack up the skirt she took off, folded the skirt carefully, and then took out the clothes in the bag one by one and folded them in the wardrobe on the side. While doing the work in her hands, Xiao Cui said unintentionally:

"Miss, I didn't dare to ask you just now, why did you agree to live in the general's mansion in Youzhou? We went around in circles like this, what did we run away from in the first place? ”

She didn't understand, since the young lady was opposed to marrying Ma Xiaotian at the beginning, and later knew that it was Ma Xiaotian's army that entered the barracks, she should avoid him, why did he find out and not escape, and finally agreed to be arranged to live in this Ma family's mansion.

Tang Haitang didn't answer her, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, Xiaocui's question made her speechless. She didn't expect that she would help Qian Yingying find her relatives, and finally be able to enter Ma Xiaotian's barracks, and the barracks were obviously disguised as men and changed her name, Ma Xiaotian could still recognize her identity and say her name accurately, so that she had nowhere to hide and no way to hide.

The reason why I agreed to live here is not that I don't want Qian Yingying and Xiaocui to wander around with her, and it is not a long-term solution for the three girls to wander around without a fixed place, the best arrangement at present is to live temporarily, and she didn't pay attention to what happened after that, so she could only think about it in the long run.

So Xiaocui was nagging on the side, she just listened, and there was no way to tell her what she really thought.

Xiaocui couldn't get Tang Haitang's response, when it was her own words that made her angry, looking back at Tang Haitang just staring at the bronze mirror in a daze, thinking that her words made Miss angry, and she had no idea for a while, she blamed herself for talking too much, what did she do if she had to talk too much? Since the young lady has decided to live here, maybe she has agreed to the marriage with the Ma family, and it is not a good thing that she is willing to marry Ma Xiaotian.

In this way, the young lady has a home, where can the old lady rest assured, she promised to take care of the young lady, and naturally she is happy that the young lady can live well!

Xiao Cui silently finished the fire, afraid that Tang Haitang was still angry with herself, so she took advantage of Tang Haitang's inattention and quietly slipped out.

Tang Haitang knew that Xiaocui was going out, the reason why she didn't speak was because she was afraid that they would continue the topic just now, and when she saw Xiaocui sneaking out of the room, she also turned around and went out, and looked around the other rooms in the courtyard.

The east and west wings of this backyard are an armory room and a washroom.

In the armory room, there were naturally a lot of weapons, and they were also prepared for Ma Xiaotian, she didn't touch these iron guys, and after a turn, she closed the door and came out. Walk to the bathroom, push the door in, a door is a flower screen, the barrier is painted with some lotus flowers and other scenery, a few simple strokes outline the artistic conception of the clouds and flowing water, turn the barrier and see a circular pool, this pool is dug down on the flat ground, at this time there is no water into it, you can see that the bottom of the pool and the wall of the pool are made of white jade, next to the pool are placed a variety of bathing petals, herbs, tools, etc.

There was also a stove for boiling water next to it, and the water that came here was boiled on the spot in this room and then poured into the pool.

"Hmph, Ma Xiaotian, you can really enjoy it! Let me try it out tonight! Looking at this luxurious bath, Tang Haitang couldn't help his curiosity, first ridiculed Ma Xiaotian's luxury of this luxurious bath, and ridiculed him in his heart for being a big man, but he wanted to take a bath with flower petals, which was really a ruinous thing, and he thought in his heart that he would enjoy this big bath tonight, and also experience the feeling of bathing in the big bath?

Knowing that the people of the Tang Dynasty liked to take a bath, especially the legend that Yang Guifei was favored when he entered the palace, Tang Xuanzong gave him a bath in Huaqing Pool in order to show his favor for Yang Guifei. This incident was also recorded by Bai Juyi, which is the sentence "Spring cold bathes Huaqing Pool, and the hot spring water is slippery and washes and condenses fat" in "Song of Long Hatred".

Tonight, she also wants to experience the feeling of "hot spring water slippery washing cream".

Thinking of the beautiful thing of taking a bath at night, she was in a much better mood, and walked out of the room with her skirt and walked to the front yard. Dr. Xu is still sitting in the front hall drinking tea, and he has been cleaning up for a while, but he can't let Dr. Xu wait too long and snub Dr. Xu. Thinking about it in my heart, I was in a hurry to walk under my feet, and at this moment I was walking with a long skirt, so I felt that it was still convenient for men to walk. Wearing a long skirt is not suitable for an impatient person like her at all.

Carrying her skirt through the arch and entering the second courtyard, in order to avoid the skirt from being swept on the ground and dirty, she turned around the gallery by the pool, Qian Yingying just came out of the room, she also changed into a women's dress, but she usually needs to practice, so her women's clothes are much more capable than Tang Haitang's group of beautiful ladies, the skirt only reaches the calf, and she is much more flexible when she walks.

Seeing Tang Haitang walking carefully with her skirt at this time, Qian Yingying couldn't help but chuckle, quickly caught up with the wooden bridge, took a shortcut and ran in front of Tang Haitang, grabbed her hands, looked up and down, left and right, and smiled: "Oh, let me see, whose lady ran out of the boudoir, how did she get born like this!" ”

Tang Haitang was deliberately coquettish by her laughter: "Hugh wants to make fun of me, this dress is really uncomfortable." ”

Confidently saw the clothes on Qian Yingying's body, she saw her wear this dress, it was the one she wore when she met her for the first time, but now the weather is hot again, and the thick jacket outside is not worn, Tang Haitang's eyes lit up: "Alas, your clothes are good, walking like this is not in the way at all, I also want to wear such clothes." ”

"Do you like it? Then I'll do it for you, I'll do it myself. Qian Yingying saw that she liked her own clothes, so she happily agreed to make one for her. On weekdays, she makes the clothes of the master and the senior brother, because she is the only woman on the mountain who can do needlework.

Hearing that Qian Yingying could make clothes, Tang Haitang unbelievably grabbed her small hands with her backhand, held them in front of her and looked at them carefully, and said with an exaggerated expression: "I didn't expect it!" Our hands are so skillful! Not only can you dance with swords and make swords, prescribe prescriptions to cure diseases, but also do needlework! O hands, are your masters clever or are you skillful in their hands? ”

Qian Yingying was amused by her, she smiled and withdrew her hand from her hand, leaned sideways to support her arm, and said coquettishly: "I have no mother since I was a child, my father is not around, my master and brother are both men, and they don't know how to do many women's work, of course I have to do everything myself." People also need people to be hurt! ”
