Chapter 42: Flower Appreciation
The green window is late to sleep in spring, who arouses, and the warbler cries outside the window.
In the afternoon of the next day, Huizhu was suddenly woken up by the sound of birds outside in the spring sleepiness, and when she opened her eyes slightly, she felt that the sunlight outside was dazzling, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes. The warm and white sunshine has imperceptibly infected the earth in spring, and it seems that he has been infected and changed by something bit by bit. Thinking of this, Huizhu smiled silently and bitterly, then turned over from the couch and sat up, yawned, and asked lazily, "Come in, what time is it?" ”
Su Xin came in from outside and replied: "Back to the master, it's almost time (2 o'clock in the afternoon), and the slave and maid are also thinking about telling you to get up." Huizhu rubbed her forehead for a while, and then said: "I didn't sleep very well, but it made my head hurt a little, so I just got up." It's time to look at the time, this Li Fujin has a treat, it's better to go early. Su Xin understood, and immediately stepped forward to wait for Huizhu to get up, freshen up and dress up a little, and then went to the palace garden for a banquet. It's also pleasant to talk about gossip all the way, and neither of them brings up yesterday's conversation again, and goes back to normal.
After walking for a while, they arrived at the inner garden of the house, and at this time, many servants were busy entering and exiting the moon cave gate, and when they saw Huizhu, they saluted and greeted each other. After Huizhu bowed her head, she whispered to Su Xin: "It seems that we are early, and it is estimated that they will have to reach Fujin in half a ring, just turn around for a while and come to the front hall, I can also be sober and sober, and my head is still painful." Su Xin nodded in response: "What the master said is true." So they spared the garden front hall and wandered around the back garden path.
As soon as I walked to the eaves of the pink wall in the backyard, I suddenly saw a woman dressed as a maid ring coming out of a rockery in a hurry, and after a casual look, she left immediately, probably because she was too panicked and didn't find Huizhu's master and servant. Seeing this, Huizhu hurriedly pulled the moon lotus backwards and retreated to the corner between the one-color pink wall and the rockery. In an instant, she heard the sound of clothes squirming, Huizhu held her breath and concentrated, and the figure of a middle-aged servant woman could be faintly seen from the gap in the rockery, but she couldn't see her face clearly. The man seemed to look around for a moment before hurrying away.
After a while, Huizhu and Su Xinfang walked out, looked around carefully, and Huizhu said, "Go back." Su Xin said suspiciously: "But, the master ......" Huizhu shook her head and said nothing, signaling Su Xin to go back to the front hall. But the heart is flipping, these two people must have a secret conversation in a hurry. However, they acted like this in the banquet place of the Li family, either they were too stupid or they were ordered to do so. Looking at the clothes of the servant woman, it can be seen that she is by no means an ordinary inferior servant, who should be the person next to the master, who is it? The figure was a little familiar, but I couldn't think of who it was. However, it shouldn't be from the Li family, how could she make trouble in her banquet place. No, not necessarily, the Li clan is now friendly with the Wu clan, but this situation has changed since yesterday when the Ulanala clan intended to promote the Wu clan to be a side blessing. I can't think of anything for a while, maybe I'm too nervous, maybe it's just some inconsequential little thing. It's better to pay more attention later, no matter what, don't get mixed in and let people be used as gunmen. Huizhu thought about it and came to the front hall.
At this time, on the wide and flat stone blue ground in the front hall garden, there are more than a dozen vermilion carved chairs, and between each two chairs there is a coffee table, on which are placed delicate and small pastries, melons and fruits, and all celadon white tea cups. Outside the seat, there is spring everywhere, stacked stones everywhere, red and green, and people laughing and talking, combined into a happy and sunny spring.
Seeing this, Huizhu couldn't help frowning, in the scorching and clear sun, did these friendly and kind smiles hide an unknown conspiracy. Before I could continue to think about it, I heard someone preach: "Niu Hulu Gege has arrived." Immediately, Huizhu hurriedly saluted to the Wulanala clan and the Li clan who were in the first seat, and sat down next to Geng's after some greetings.
Geng asked: "Where did my sister go, I started to walk to the courtyard gate and saw my sister not far away, why did it take half a day to arrive." Huizhu explained: "I felt that I came too early, so I slipped around casually for a while. Geng said with a smile: "I'm here early today, and I stayed alone for a while before I saw someone coming, so I knew that I would go around with you." Huizhu smiled back: "Then if there is any banquet or anything like that, I will ask Sister Geng to go with me, so as not to leave us alone." Geng smiled in response.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Li Shi spoke: "I am here to thank Fu Jin and all my sisters for enjoying their faces and coming to enjoy the flowers." The Song family has always been not offended by both the Wulanala clan and the Li clan, and even more biased towards the Li family, so the Song family immediately smiled and said: "Thanks to Li Fujin's proposal to enjoy the flowers, the concubines can get together and enjoy the flowers and play." Fujin is usually busy, and only Li Fujin can bring everyone together to contact and connect sisters. The concubine thanked Li Fujin here. With that, Song got up and blessed Li.
Li Shi smiled and accepted the salute, swept over the people sitting in the lower seat and the Nian Wu clan on the side, the smile increased, she liked this feeling very much, she posted a banquet by herself, and sat in the first place with the Wulanala clan, and her position in the mansion was irreplaceable. Thinking of this, Li swept away the unhappiness brought by yesterday, chatted with everyone for a while, and said with a proud smile: "Although it is the flowering period of the moon season now, I got a few good camellia treasures some time ago, and I know a few younger sisters Suxi camellias, just today for everyone to enjoy." Li Shi paused for a moment, then looked at Nian's instantly pale face, and continued to smile: "This camellia likes to be warm and moist, and avoids the scorching sun. Therefore, I also asked Fu Jin and his sisters to move to the pond pavilion in the back garden to enjoy the flowers. After speaking, Li got up with a smile on his face.
Huizhu and Su Xin glanced at each other, and Fang took Geng's hand and walked towards the backyard together. His eyes couldn't help but fall on Wu's already bulging belly, isn't the backyard pavilion the place he just went, and this camellia. However, the pavilion was not far away, and between laughing and laughing, more than 20 people with Yinzhen's concubines and the maids who were serving each other arrived at the pavilion corridor.
Wu had already studied poetry and books, and said with some meaning of flattering Li: "These camellia flowers are worthy of the proud plum style bones of 'only camellia is very durable, and can only occupy the spring breeze in the deep moon', and there are also the bright colors of Ling peony of 'flowers are bright and red, and they are deep in Xiaoxia'. Li Fujin is really a wonderful person who cherishes flowers and understands flowers. Nian Shi murmured: "Yes, this pot of scorched calyx white orbs is like a pearl and white, it should bloom in September, but it is fragrant at this time." Li pointed to a pot with multiple petals forming a hexagonal tower-shaped corolla and said with a smile: "It's still a young sister who knows camellia very well." Come, Sister Nian take a look at this pot, it is the most famous camellia 'Eighteen Bachelors', if Sister Nian likes it, I can cut love, after all, I can get it often. Nian Shi turned his eyes to look at Li and said with a smile: "How can my sister win Sister Li's love, although this 'Eighteen Bachelors' is a famous product, but my sister is young, there will be opportunities in the future." So, Sister Li should keep it for herself, after all, this flower, sister, you won't get it easily, or don't be generous to fulfill your sister, it's not good to suffer yourself. The Ulanala clan took Li and Nian's hands respectively and said with a smile: "The two younger sisters are both people who can often get this flower, and they are more beautiful than flowers." In my opinion, it was I, the person who was already yesterday's yellow flower, who asked for the flower of the 'Eighteen Bachelors' to add color. Seeing this, the Li clan did not shirk the blame, and boasted together with everyone that the Ulanala clan was in full bloom, and then boasted to each other for a while, and looked down the pond to the various bonsai one by one.
Hui Zhu Ben has been looking at the situation around her, and when she sees this at this time, she feels a little funny. It seems that he is too nervous, but it is just a group of backhouse women playing a scene of sisters and sisters. Hye-joo smiled and shook her head at Su Xin to show that she was fine. Unexpectedly, I saw a servant girl who looked a little like the one I had met at the beginning, and she was slowly moving towards the edge of the pond. At this time, there was a large crowd of people in a small pavilion pond, and Huizhu was not sure if it was or not, so she involuntarily walked towards the person.
No, she was walking towards where Wu was standing, with a pond in front of her. Hui Zhu's thoughts flashed, and he hurriedly took a few steps forward, and as soon as he came to Wu's side, he saw that Yahuan rubbed the bottom of Wu's flower pot with her foot, and her shoulder didn't seem to care about leaning on Wu's body, and she left in a hurry.
"Ahh Huizhu called out "Sister Wu", and grabbed Wu's arm violently, and pulled Wu to the side. In an instant, there were screams and screams, and with a "bang", I saw Huizhu fall on the stone steps of the pond, and Wu's whole body fell on Huizhu's body except for one foot hanging in the pond.
Huizhu felt that the Wu clan fell on her body unharmed, and Fang Xin breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a burst of pain in the bare part of her feet, and she couldn't help but cry out in pain: "Ah, my feet...... Hurt...... Press...... Don't ......" Huizhu's cry of pain made everyone who was stunned react. The Ulanala clan was the first to wake up, hurriedly walked over, pushed away the concubine room who was standing aside, and beckoned the others to come and help. By the time everyone helped Wu up, Huizhu had lost consciousness and fainted.
(Don't think it's bad for Huizhu to save the Wu family, in fact, Huizhu still has her considerations, and Huizhu is not a good person.) Oh, ask for recommendations, support)
