Chapter 23: Grounding
"Whew-whew-", the wind howled, the big trees in the yard shook in the wind, and the branches were whipped in the air like wild whips. At this time, Huizhu was lying on the table and copying the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", copied a few sentences, stopped playing, and looked at the shadow of the tree with teeth and claws on the white window.
The days of being grounded and copying books are simple and comfortable, you don't need to ask Fujin for peace, and you can sleep until the hour every day; After Fu Jin spoke, his food and clothing these days were very exquisite, and when he entered the December Mansion, he doubled the fine silver carbon......
Suddenly, a cold air rushed from the curtain of the door, and I saw Xia Mei's face flushed with cold, her feet were still pacing slightly to keep warm, her nose and mouth exhaled a faint white smoke in the warm room, and she was holding a full of cloth and things in her hands. Su Xin, who was sitting on the embroidery pier, took a look, hurriedly put down the manual work, and said while smoothing Xia Mei's hand: "It's cold outside, I can hear the wind when I sit in the house, come, drink some hot almond tea to warm up." ”
Xia Mei took a bowl of tea that was still smoking, blew it twice, raised her hand and drank it all at once, and covered her hand on the bowl that was still warm, only then did she look at Huizhu and Su Xin embarrassedly, and said cautiously: "Master, the slave maid was originally going to get some cloth, but at the entrance of the second courtyard, she met Mama Wang next to Fujin, and Mama said that Fujin sent someone to make a crane for the master, and just saw the slave and maid, so she asked the slave and maid to bring it back to the master." ”
Seeing Xia Mei's embarrassed look, Huizhu put down her pen, sat on the kang, and chuckled: "Why aren't you as bold as Yuehe, can the December weather not be cold, see that your face is frozen, sit on the embroidery pier and drink some almond tea and eat some Mei Xianger cakes, I can also ask Fu Jin what he said." Xia Mei replied in a low voice, sat at the long table with a red face, poured herself almond tea, and drank it in small sips.
"Master, it's the rat brocade crane of the lotus green bucket pattern foreign thread, this style is new, it seems that Fujin really values the master." Su Xin said as he spread the crane on the kang.
Huizhu stroked the crane, the tentacles were comfortable and soft, frowned and thought for a moment, and asked, "Xia Mei, is this crane the master of the people in the house, or is it just me?" ”
Xia Mei said: "If you go back to the master, the master and Nian Fujin have a crane, and the other masters are shoulder to shoulder." Mama Wang said that Fujin thought that the master and Nian Fujin had just entered the mansion, so she sent the tailor to make two, as if Nian Fujin's one was a crane in a silver-red feather veil and a white fox. ”
Huizhu nodded lightly, it seems that Fujin is really doing things without leakage, not only appeasing himself to show virtue, but also not forgetting Nian's generosity of Fujin, silver-red, although the white fox face is precious, but no matter how red the silver red is, it is not the red of Chang Fujin. I have been grounded for ten days, and if the news that Yuehe said is accurate, then Yinzhen has been staying with Nian's for a week. Ancient women are really not easy to do, their husbands go to other women, they have to show generosity, and even care about taking care of a third party, it is not easy to get the name of Fujin this virtuous woman.
Su Xin saw that Huizhu's expression was a little gloomy, thinking that she pitied herself for entering the Baylor Mansion as a concubine, and the Nian family suppressed it everywhere, so she pretended to be happy and said: "Master, it is still Fujin who is careful, and I know that you like to be pure, so I will send you the rat brocade and crane of lotus green bucket pattern foreign thread." Master, there are still two days before you have to be grounded, and the day after tomorrow is Laba Festival, you happen to wear it, and people are also festive. The slave will put it away for you, and you can look at the cloth that Xia Mei received. As he spoke, he folded the crane and put it in the pear wood box, and beckoned Xia Mei to bring the three pieces of cloth to Huizhu to see what it was for.
Huizhu came back to her senses, and it seemed that she had been too distracted by the comfortable days of the past ten days, so she smiled and said: "It's still plain and intimate, with you, I'll shake off the shopkeeper; It's up to you to arrange this cloth, and I'd better continue to copy the Buddhist scriptures. ”
Su Xin said: "Amitabha, master, Fujin will let you copy the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", the whole text is more than 200 words, you can bully the slave maid." ”
Huizhu saw that Su Xin was funny, and Fang smiled and said, "Okay, then I will be in charge, and you are not allowed to object." This silver-red shadow veil is soft and thick, and now that the cold wind is about to celebrate the festival again, just take the silver-red paste window, and there is no need to look for anything else. Su Xin said with a smile: "The master will still decorate, and the use of silver-red will not make the room look warm, and it will be hot when you look at it." ”
Huizhu picked up the same half-horse material that had rained and sunny, and said with a happy face: "Why is this only half a horse, but this is seen from a distance, like smoke, so I don't know what kind of material, if this is used as a tent, how beautiful it should be." "I didn't expect that there would be thick, light and fluttering fabrics in this winter, which must be practical and romantic to arrange in the house.
At this time, Yuehe, who was outside the house, came into the house with **** sugar and japonica rice porridge, and when he heard Huizhu say that he wanted to paste such a good material into the window as a quilt, he hurriedly said loudly: "This is really good, this is made in today's upper use, and other materials are not as good as this." Hui Zhu said, "Why, you know what kind of material this is." Yuehe handed the porridge to Huizhu, and said, "Master, you don't know, at this time, the palace is the newest, and the Internal Affairs Office has just made it." The slave maid said from Cui'er in the courtyard of Fujin that this is a soft smoke, and the palace will reward the prince who opened the mansion, and Fujin saw that this is a rare material, so he gave half a horse to the famous masters in the house. After listening to this, Su Xin touched it carefully, and it was really different from the ordinary winter clothing material, so he said: "Master, it seems to be a valuable material, and it is in the palace, and this color is also what the master likes, why don't you use it as a vest jacket to wear."
Huizhu nodded in response, so everyone said something more, Huizhu drank **** sugar japonica rice porridge, and felt that people were very warm when they were full, so they were a little drowsy. Su Xin saw it, thinking that Huizhu was used to being lazy for more than ten days, and it would be just after the time (13:00-15:00), so it was not easy to disturb, so she waited for Huizhu to lie down on the low floor, and Fang and Xia Meiyue came out of the bedroom.
Su Xin covered the curtains, closed the door of the bedroom, and made sure that Huizhu would not be noisy much, so she sat in the warm main room and gossiped with Xia Mei Yuehe, while waiting for Huizhu to get up and serve herself.
Su Xin took the cocoon silk that Huizhu had just appreciated and looked at it, and whispered: "This is cocoon silk, it's good to make a jacket and skirt." The color is autumn fragrance again, and the age of the two of you is just right, just one person and a half. Yuehe said happily: "Thank you so much Sister Suxin, I know that you love us the most, the master is kind and kind, and Sister Suxin is so good to us, well, I'll make a dress." Xia Mei touched the cloth and hesitated: "Sister Suxin, I still don't want it, the remaining half of the horses, Sister Suxin can use it to make clothes." ”
Su Xin secretly said in his heart, "Yuehe is clever and ingenious, and it is easy for people to like it; Although Xia Mei is a little wooden, she is an honest and responsible person, and she has always done her work in a down-to-earth manner. It seems that the master will find a confidant in the future, although the master prefers Yuehe now, but Xia Mei is more suitable. Glancing at Xia Mei, who was a little cramped, she smiled quietly: "I'm old, it's not suitable to wear this for a long time, so I'll leave it to you little girls to wear, in fact, the master has already rewarded me with a plain satin to make clothes." ”
Yuehe said: "It's still Sister Suxin's favorite of the master." Alas, the master is a benevolent lord, and after entering the house for two months, he has not seen the master fight anything, but he has been grounded in a good manner. I think that Fujin was only born in Baoyi that year, but the master was a girl with a yellow flag, how could it be like this, the difference between Fujin and Gege on this side is not a star and a half. In the past three months since Nian Fu Jin entered the house, it can be said that he was favored by the master on the tip of his heart, and his son was grounded for ten days, and the master went for seven or eight days, according to this year, Fu Jin gave birth to the little brother Xiao Gege ....... Su Xin didn't reprimand Yuehe this time, but lowered her head and didn't say anything after hearing it, as if thinking about something.
The three of them gossiped for more than half an hour, and then went to serve Huizhu, who had woken up.
IV. Baylor House
"Master, it's already the second watch, you better rest early."
"Master went to that fox again, it's been a few days, slut, I won't let you get your way." A female voice hated the authentic.
"Master, no matter how good the clan is that year, it can't compare to you, who doesn't know that the master's children are all born to you, as long as there are two little elder brothers, no one can touch you."
……
"Congratulations to the master, with the little master, the master will go to Fujin and say, if the master knows, he will like the master even more."
The beautiful woman lying on the collapse put her hand on her lower abdomen, and said a little distractedly: "Let's wait for three months to stabilize, and then talk about it." ”
A cold night with a howling wind, a few sleepless nights, like cold, like roaring, like jealousy......
