Chapter 56: Embroidered Canal
At the end of April, the Xifu begonias outside the lintel are about to bloom, the pink buds gradually turn into pale pink flower clouds, and the petals fall on the stone steps. However, the lotus flowers have just bloomed, and the lake is full of white and pink flowers.
Looking out from the flower hall of Qingtong Temple, you can see the withering Xifu begonias, and the flowers are like snow.
A sparse bamboo curtain was drawn in the flower hall, and the newly invited gentleman was teaching the art of the Jin Dynasty.
A few days ago, my father got a hundred-year-old fir cinnabar piano from his colleague, Liu Binghu, a member of the household department. He didn't study much piano art, so after thinking about it, he asked the little maid to send it to Jin Chao, and asked a famous master to teach her piano art again. My father loves to send her any good things these days, and Jin Chao understands in his heart that his father feels guilty, so he doesn't say anything and accepts them all.
The original teacher of the Jin Dynasty piano art was an old gentleman with a false name, who returned to his hometown to retire when the Jin Dynasty was not in time. Her father invited a gentleman who was only thirty years old, one of the descendants of the Yushan faction, called Wangxi.
This Mr. Wangxi's piano skills are also very good, but the difference between men and women is very particular, when teaching the Jin Dynasty piano art, he has to pull a curtain in the middle, even if the Jin Dynasty plays wrong, he can never correct the fingering of the Jin Dynasty.
Jin Dynasty piano learning is after reviewing the family, at the age of ten, studied for three years. When the child is young, he can't learn the piano, his hands are not strong enough, he can't make a sound if he doesn't press the strings, and his fingers will be grinding if he presses the strings. Only when the cocoon is ground out at the place where the strings are pressed will it not hurt. Jin Chao has not learned the piano for more than a year, and the calluses on his hands have long been gone, and the first time he played in front of Mr. Wangxi, his fingers hurt after playing for a long time, and he also played stumbling.
When Mr. Wangxi heard this, he was very dissatisfied, and muttered softly: "Didn't you say that you learned it from Mr. Zixu......
Jin Chao pursed his lips slightly when he heard this. Mr. Zixu is honored as Yanjing, and Cheng Wangxi feels that she has lost the face of the old man.
Teaching the piano today, Mr. Wangxi played "Pu'an Mantra" again, and when he heard Jin Chao play it again, he couldn't help but say to her: "I have already played it once yesterday, why are you still so rusty?" You were taught by Mr. Wangxi, how did you play so badly......"
Jin Chao could hear that he was a little impatient. I don't know how my father brought this man back, he must be impatient to teach himself. Although he played it again yesterday, he couldn't see his fingering and strings through the bamboo curtain, so how could he play it.
She couldn't help but say: "Mr. might as well raise the curtain, since it is to teach piano skills, it is naturally a friendship between master and apprentice, and Mr. does not have to be formal." ”
Cheng Wangxi disagreed: "Forget it, I'll play it again, you listen to it......"
Jin Chao stopped talking.
When this Mr. Wangxi left, Jin Chao looked at one end of the curtain and saw that his hair was combed in a bun, and he was dressed in a blue cloth, and he took his piano boy out of Qingtong Courtyard.
She asked Zefu to put the piano away, feeling a little bored.
Qingpu came over with a black lacquer square plate: "Miss, it's getting hot, you can also drink a cup of sour plum soup to reduce the anger." ”
He took out a finger-sized paper scroll from his sleeve and handed it to Jin Chaodao: "The slave saw a pigeon landing on a begonia branch this morning, and when I looked closely, I found that it had something tied to its legs. When he saw the slave and the maid, he flew down, and when the slave and the maid took the letter, it flew away again. ”
Jin Chao was a little puzzled, carrier pigeons were originally a common thing for those who walked the rivers and lakes, how could they come to her.
She took the scroll and looked at it, there was a red sealing wax on it, and the word 'leaf' was printed on it.
Leaf...... Could it be a leaf limit?
Ye Quan sent a message to her in this way, could it be that something happened to Mr. Xiao's side?
After Jin Chao entered the inner room, he asked Qing Pu to close the door before cautiously opening the paper roll. Sure enough, it was sent by Ye Quan, and Jin Chao thought he was in a hurry, but at the beginning, he said that the turtle he raised had bitten the koi and the thrush had laid a litter of light green eggs. Jin Chao looked at it and smiled.
It was only mentioned at the end of the leaf limit, and Mr. Xiao was delayed on his side, and he could only arrive for more than half a month. He also said that Mr. Xiao heard about Jin Chao's mother's illness and sent him a letter saying that the disease was caused by his weak body and long-term depression, and that the illness should not have been so recurring, and asked them to pay attention to whether there was anything abnormal.
Qing Pu had already lit the candlestick on the side, and Jin Chao lit it with a candle after reading the note.
When her mother died in her previous life, she vomited blood, and the blood stained her clothes soaked, which looked very terrible. It's just that at that time, she didn't doubt whether anyone had done anything about her mother's illness, and when she heard Mr. Xiao say this, her mother's illness was also a little suspicious......
It's just that Mother Xu is the person next to her grandmother after all, if someone poisons her, how can she hide it from her eyes?
Jin Chao thought for a while and said to Qingpu: "You go to Mother Tong and ask her to invite Dr. Liu over, and say that I want to prescribe another prescription for my mother to recuperate." ”
Qingpu took the order, and Jin Chao walked outside the door to bask in the sun. Bao Park was lying on the roof opposite, flicking his fluffy tail and looking at her. It looks like a pom-pom now, and a few days ago it bit a mouse out of the aureatrium, and it was all about it.
Hug Pu seemed a little sleepy in the sun, stood up and stretched, jumped on the locust tree next to him, slipped down the tree and went to sleep in its nest.
Jin Chao also thinks it's interesting to watch, it's lazy and doesn't care about people, and it's very withdrawn.
was looking at the cat, but saw Yuzhu running in from outside, looking very anxious, Bai Yun was about to say something to her, she ran to the front of Jinchao but knelt down with a plop, her eyes watery and about to cry: "Miss, you can save Xiuqu!" ”
Jin Chao saw that Yuzhu was still holding a black lacquer box, which was the candy she gave Yuzhu.
"What's wrong with you? Get up and speak. ”
Hearing the gentle language of the Jin Dynasty, Yuzhu's heart became even more uncomfortable. She wiped her eyes and said, "The slave went to find Xiuqu today, and I want to send her a box of candy too...... But Xiuqu is no longer with Aunt Song, and the grandmother who sweeps the floor told me that Xiuqu is going home to visit relatives......"
Jin Chao frowned, and asked her again: "It's just to go home to visit relatives, what are you anxious about?" ”
Yuzhu choked up and continued: "Don't you know, Xiuqu's hometown is in Taiping Mansion, Anhui, how can she go home to visit relatives...... It must be that Aunt Song knew about her leak and wanted to punish her. It was the slave who harmed her...... She didn't want to say it, it was the slave's fault......"
Jin Chao asked Bai Yun to help her up: "You can't be blamed for this, you didn't know it would be like this, don't blame yourself." ”
Yuzhu pulled her sleeve, still unable to hold back her tears: "Miss, you must also help her, Xiuqu is a good person." ”
Jin Chao nodded: "She is also suffering because of me, you get up first, I won't let this matter go." ”
Yuzhu stood up at this time, she believed in Miss the most. The young lady said that she would help, so she would definitely help.
Jin Chao didn't know the bottom in his heart, if Aunt Song wanted to punish Xiuqu, she could punish her to go to the kitchen to do chores or go to the stable, these two errands were the most bitter. But just silently made people disappear, that is to kill people!
Aunt Song's heart is so ruthless! I don't know how many days have passed since this happened, but if it is too long, it is estimated that people will die.
She wanted to ask Tong's mother to come over, only to remember that she had asked Tong's mother to go to Dr. Liu. He changed his clothes and took Bai Yun Caifu to his mother. It was past noon, and my mother had woken up from a nap. She couldn't sleep at night, but she could take advantage of this to rest for a while during the day.
"Come and sit, I just stewed a cup of wolfberry red date white fungus soup, you can also drink a little ......" Ji smiled and asked her to sit down, and asked Xu's mother to serve her a bowl of white fungus soup, Jin Chao tried it, but felt a little bitter, and couldn't help asking, "How is the white fungus soup here at my mother bitter?" ”
Ji said with a smile: "Put some medicinal herbs and boil it together, you like to eat sweet...... But it is better to drink some bitter than to take medicine. ”
The Jin Dynasty doesn't like bitter things, and he won't even eat bitter gourd in summer, so he doesn't pay attention to it when he puts down the white fungus soup. He said to his mother: "I want to ask Mother Xu something, you can drink it first." He asked Xu's mother to go outside with her.
Ji shook his head helplessly, and brought Jin Chao's share over and drank it together.
When she arrived at the corridor, Mother Xu smiled and said, "...... I don't know what the eldest lady wants to ask the slave? ”
Jin Chao thought for a while before saying, "I suspect that someone is making trouble behind my mother's illness, are you personally taking over my mother's diet on weekdays?" ”
Mother Xu nodded and said, "Otherwise, the two girls Moyu and Moxue will watch it personally, even the decoction is like this, and there is no possibility for people to do anything." If the eldest lady is suspicious, then I will thoroughly investigate the people in the Sky Garden, in addition to food, incense burners, daily utensils and chopsticks may also be manipulated. The slave maid was in the Ji family earlier, and the two aunts of the old man were jealous of each other, so one of them applied medicine to the bowl of the other, and the other aunt slipped because of this, which was really unguardable. When it comes to these things, Xu's mother has more experience.
Jin Chao nodded, she was only suspicious, after all, her mother's current condition had not recurred...... But it's always good to be cautious.
"I still have something I want to ask Mother Xu, if a girl makes a mistake and the master wants her to die silently, what will she do?" Jin Chao's voice softened.
Jin Chao thought for a while, and then said: "Mother has a team of nurses brought from the Ji family, can Mother Xu lend me one?" ”
Mother Xu said with a smile: "Naturally, I can bring someone to you later." ”
Neither doubt, nor ask much.
