Chapter 173 Letter
"I heard that it was fashionable to wear such a veil skirt in the New Year?" Li Xiaoqi leisurely pointed to the green skirt on his body and asked, Luo Yan looked Li Xiaoqi up and down, pursed his lips and nodded with a smile: "The fifth master's clothes, not only the skirt is fashionable, this jacket is also the most up-to-date, this spring is fashionable like this: plain silk, the edge is embroidered with a light color silk thread to embroider such a continuous head of the twig pattern, the fifth master is embroidered with a narrow edge, said that the wide edge is more fashionable now, I ordered the wide edge, but the fifth master wears such a narrow edge is better, and this stumbling ••••••" The more Luo Yan spoke, the more interested she became, Li Xiaoqi smiled, and listened carefully to her saying which place was fashionable, which place was fashionable last year, which place actually had a few years ago, Luo Yan said for most of the day before he suddenly realized that he seemed to talk too much, and he was busy, looked at Li Xiaoyi, and explained with some embarrassment: "I just talk a lot." ”
"What you said is that this jacket must have risen from time to time because of this skirt, so it is an embroidered and veiled skirt, with a plain jacket, if the jacket is also so complicated, this body will be worn out, and it will become a flower butterfly." Li Xiaoqi continued Luo Yan's words and said, Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "The fifth master is very worthy, but I heard the mother-in-law of Caiyunfang say that this year is fashionable pink and purple." Li Xiaoqi looked at Luo Yan carefully, and asked with a smile, "Did you order pink or purple?" ”
"Purple and pink are too tender, I don't like them very much."
"You have white skin, and it's not ugly to wear purple, but no matter the purple and light purple, if you want that kind of weak willow to support the wind, people who are melancholy and sad all day long will wear it more flavorful, you are generous and elegant, wearing blue and gray clothes is only afraid that it is better, tomorrow I will go to Caiyunfang again, try a few more sets, and it will be good to attract people's eyes." Li Xiaoqi looked at Luo Yan and suggested, Luo Yan nodded and laughed busily: "Since the fifth master said so, I'm not welcome, I'm not afraid of the fifth master's jokes, I love this clothes and jewelry the most, the fifth master doesn't know, since I left the Red Mansion, I haven't made new clothes, and I wear old clothes every day!" ”
"Qian Fuze won't even make clothes for you?" Li Xiaoyi's eyes widened in surprise, Luo Yan's face was full of embarrassment, he moved uncomfortably, twisted his shoulders, and whispered vaguely: "Am I not good, I am good, I always have to be virtuous and virtuous, those luxurious and rich •••••• in the past are not virtuous•••••• I don't want it, don't I think about virtue." Li Xiaoqi's eyes widened, raised his hand to stroke his forehead, and stayed for a moment, his hand slid down to cover his mouth, and he laughed so loudly that he almost couldn't breathe.
Luo Yan was laughed at by Li Xiaoyi, spread his hands, and said with a self-deprecating smile: "I really want to live a good life with him, those who used to be in the streets, I put myself aside, there is a female scripture on the bedside, those women from good families can do, I can also do it, who knows•••••• this is really not what you want to be good!" ”
"It's that old thing that's not blessed." Li Xiaoqi smiled and persuaded softly, Luo Yan raised his hand and slapped it on a few days, and scolded with hatred: "This old Wang Ba! Eight calves! Men don't have a good thing! You treat him as an eight-king, and he is a king-eight in front of you! If you respect him and give him face, he will treat you as a king! Li Xiaoqi didn't laugh when he heard it, nor did he laugh if he didn't laugh, Luo Yan spit out a mouthful of turbidity, looked at Li Xiaoqi and said: "This woman has to learn from the fifth master, what's wrong with the woman?" Hum! You are the master, and we are also the master! Li Xiaoqi couldn't help it, she puffed out in one breath, and fell back on the couch with a smile, she just likes the cool and spicy of the geese!
The two of them laughed until the second half of the night, Li Xiaoqi wrapped the quilt and rested on the couch for an hour or two, got up before dawn, instructed the wild goose again, quietly left the courtyard, and got in the car to go back to Taiping Mansion.
went back to rest, the spring rain fell in the afternoon, Li Xiaoqi was crooked on the couch alone, and carefully looked at the words sent in by the long term: whose family had a treat, what drama was sung, who had a meeting with whom to have fun, whose family had a new concubine•••••• there were all kinds of things, Li Xiaoqi looked at them carefully one by one, and after reading them, he threw them into the paper basin in front of the couch, watched the paper pieces burned, and then looked at the next one. In the end, Li Xiaoqi only had two small pieces of paper left in his hand, one said that the proportion of silver allocated by the wine inspection office to repair the Jingshan gardens in various parts of the Taiping Mansion this year was almost 20% more, Li Xiaoqi gently twisted the soft rice paper, looking at the red charcoal in the paper basin, there are a lot of people who will ask for wine in the past few days, it seems that the emperor's illness should be more stable, and Wu Guifei is in a good mood.
Li Xiaoqi sullenly threw the piece of paper in his hand into the paper basin, what kind of situation is the emperor's illness? If you can't understand this matter, it's not good to act rashly in the future, alas! Li Xiaoqi looked at the last piece of paper in his hand, Wu Houye's mansion donated 10,000 taels of silver in the name of Wu Houye and Wu Guifei's mother, Mrs. Qin, to repair the bridges and bridges in various parts of the Taiping Mansion one by one, repair bridges and roads, and do good deeds, but this kindness is too heartfelt! Li Xiaoyi's heart suddenly moved slightly, he was stunned for a long time, came to his senses, hurriedly threw the piece of paper in his hand into the paper basin and watched the incineration, moved to the window a few times, stretched out his hand to push open the window, looked at the fine and dense rain that kept falling outside, and gently raised his eyebrows, there is a rainbow after the rain, someone once made a rainbow to her, this rainbow •••••• the Wu family repaired the bridge, if there is no wind and no rain, there is a rainbow in the sky•••••• this world, this providence, but it is very important, this rainbow, you can give it a try! Li Xiaoqi closed the window, raised his voice and called Danyue to come in and asked, "Last time, you said that those cotton papers should be sprayed with water before use, how to spray them?" You squirt it on me! Danyue looked at Li Xiaoqi inexplicably, and didn't ask much, she hurriedly took a cup over, poured half a cup of tea, took a sip of tea and looked at Li Xiaoyi, motioned her to look, and then spewed out a fierce squirt at the open space in the middle of the room, the spray of fog was very fine, like fog, Li Xiaoqi ordered with a smile: "Call Nanning in, and when Nanning comes, you spray again." ”
Danyue put down the cup, wiped the droplets at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief, and went out to call Nanning in, Li Xiaoqi motioned for Danyue to spray again, waved her back, looked at Nanning and asked: "I remember that there is a kind of water hose, which can spray ten feet high when you draw water, have you ever seen this thing?" ”
"I've seen it, it's a common thing, everyone will have a few of them, in case the water runs out, it's the most useful." Nanning simply replied, Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief, and commanded with a smile: "That's good, you listen, I'm going to use the hose to spray out the fine mist like the light moon just now, I'll give you a wake-up call, just put a lid on the head of the hose, and make a small hole as thin as a needle tip on the lid, so that the water is pressed out, and the mist can be sprayed, that's generally it, you go and find a few skilled craftsmen to make a few lids to try, this thing has to be done quietly." Nanning blinked, looking at Li Xiaoqi who was about to speak, Li Xiaoqi waved his hand and continued: "That's the case, I saw it in a book I can't remember my name before, saying that if it is in the sun's best eye-catching sky, if you can spray such a water mist, then a rainbow can appear in the water mist, and I want to make a rainbow for the Wu family, which can be regarded as a color head." Nanning looked at Li Xiaoqi with a stunned face, and the spray mist could show a rainbow! It's really the first time I've heard of it, and Li Xiaoqi can't tell him the truth about it, so he just waved his hand and said: "I'll leave this matter to you, you find a hidden place to try, this method will definitely work, it will definitely be able to show a rainbow, you have to think about it, you must try it, go quickly." Nanning was distressed and took the messenger, came out of the front yard and stood for a long time, said to the long term, picked two guards, and looked for a place to buy things to try how the rainbow was possible.
Li Xiaoqi pushed open the window, watched Nanning go out, and was worried about the drizzle for a long time, sleepy yawning again and again, lazily crooked on the couch and closed her eyes, Danyue lightly took the quilt and covered her, closed the window, lowered the curtain, and after a while, Li Xiaoqi fell asleep with gentle breathing.
When I woke up, Haitang sent a bowl of white fungus porridge, watched Li Xiaoqi eat it, and said with a smile: "Xi'an just asked once, saying that there is something to give to the girl." ”
"Well, call him in." Li Xiaoqi rinsed his mouth and ordered, Begonia went out, not long, Xi'an came in, took out a very small green bamboo tube from his arms, and handed it to Li Xiaoqi with both hands to report: "Girl, this was received two hours ago." ”
"Who sent it?" Li Xiaoqi hurriedly took the bamboo tube, looked at the bamboo tube carefully, and asked, the green seal on the bamboo tube has not been opened yet,
"It's the letter from the master." Xi'an said in a low voice, Li Xiaoqi reacted suddenly, Su Zicheng said when he set off from Kaiping Mansion, she has two channels here, one from Xi'an, from him to herself. Li Xiaoqi looked down at the bamboo tube in her hand, Xi'an glanced at her, took half a step back and said, "If it's okay, I'll retire first." Li Xiaoqi nodded absentmindedly, lowered his eyes, pinched the bamboo tube with his fingers for a long time, and then took the silver cutter from the table, slowly picked up the mud seal, and poured out the roll of rice paper from the bamboo tube, Li Xiaoqi put the rice paper roll on the several, looked at it absent-mindedly for a while, turned around slightly, threw the bamboo tube in his hand into the paper basin, watched the green bamboo tube rise a few flames, and turned into black ash in a blink of an eye, before turning his head, slowly reaching out and picking up a few rice paper rolls, hanging his head, unfolding and looking at the letter little by little.
The letter was written by Su Zicheng himself, and most of the space was to reproach her for the rapid march, Li Xiaoqi grabbed the corner of the rice paper with two fingers and shook it gently for a while, let go of his fingers, and threw the letter into Wangwang's charcoal basin.
