Chapter 55: The Election (I)
The sun is in spring, everything knows spring, and the breeze is light. The warm sun slanted down sprinkled, illuminating the room brightly, and after Huizhu washed her face, she changed into a cheongsam with the blue satin ground color embroidered with flowers. sat in front of the mirror again, and let Su Xin Yuehe groom her. From time to time, just as the bun was coiled up, Xia Mei came in from outside with a tray.
Huizhu said with a smile: "This year is over, people are getting lazier and lazier, I don't want to get up late today, Xia Mei has already prepared breakfast." Su Xin inserted a coral bat hairpin diagonally into the root of Huizhu's bun, peeked left and right, and picked up a gold inlaid rice bead to press the sideburns and put it on the side of the bun, Fang smiled: "At this time, how can there be no sleepy, and besides, the master is not too late." No, the makeup is in place, and you're just in time for breakfast. After hearing this, Huizhu took a picture of the small silver mirror table, nodded slightly with satisfaction, and got up to have breakfast.
Huizhu picked up the small silver bowl, frowned slightly, looked at Su Xin, who served her vegetables from time to time, but didn't say anything, just used barley rice and red date porridge and cold salad with small side dishes and bean noodles. But I was a little sad in my heart, yesterday morning it was six-flavor red date porridge, today it is barley rice and red date porridge, and I have to drink some health-nourishing medicinal food from time to time. It's just a day or two, but after a few months, she can't bear it.
In fact, Huizhu sometimes thinks about it when she is idle, thinking that it is because she has crossed this body and caused a change in her physique, otherwise she would have never had any signs of pregnancy. Thinking of this, Huizhu thought that some things could not be changed by man, and she didn't want to eat these every day, so she opened her mouth and ordered: "This nourishing soup and qi and blood nourishing food will be used four times a month, and it is not allowed to go on like this every day." ”
Su Xin saw that Huizhu suddenly said this, and wanted to persuade a few words, but seeing that Huizhu was resolute, it was difficult to say anything, so he responded with Yuehe Xia Mei and other blessings. Seeing this, Huizhu didn't show it on her face, but in her heart she felt that it was really useful for her master to give orders.
So, Huizhu also stopped talking and started a spring morning conversation with them. Then, after finishing breakfast in this laughter, and after taking care of it a little, he went to the main courtyard with Su Xin to say goodbye.
In April after the spring rain, it is a clear blue sky, translucent thin clouds, the song of the warbler swallow, the fragrant spring grass, a vibrant, bright and willowy image. Along the way, Huizhu was full of new spring scenery as far as her eyes could see, and with the morning conversation and laughter, she was in a bright mood and came to the main courtyard with a smile.
It may be that the spring is in a good mood, and because the mansion is promoted to the prince's mansion, even the people who serve under him always greet people with a smile. At this time, as soon as Huizhu walked to the door of the main house, she met Mama Wang, who seemed to be about to enter the house.
Huizhu was thinking about nodding and greeting Mama Wang, when she saw Mama Wang giving her a big gift, and said with a smile: "Gege Wanfu, the old slave has congratulated you." As she spoke, Mama Wang turned sideways, opened the curtain in person, bowed down and said, "Hehe, the old slave has been ordered by Fujin today and specially came to greet Gege." Huizhu looked at Mama Wang, who was affectionate, and wondered in her heart, but she smiled mildly on her face: "Mama is tormenting me, how can you let me separate the curtain." Mama Wang glanced at Huizhu with a smile on her face, and did not answer, but gave a look to the little girl ring standing on the side, and said to Huizhu again: "If you have something to say, Gege still came down and said it to Fujin, now you should go in first." As soon as Mama Wang's words fell, Xiao Yahuan immediately raised her voice and said, "Niu Hulu is here." Huizhu couldn't, so she smiled and nodded to Mama Wang in thanks, and after signaling Su Xin to be careful, she stepped into the back room.
Except for the Nian clan and the Wu clan, the rest of the people in the house have arrived. Huizhu looked at the people in the house, her heart sank, and then her face was respectful, she walked quickly to the middle of the room, squatted and saluted: "Concubine Niu Hulu, please Fujin Da'an, please Li Fujin Da'an." ”
The Wulanala clan stopped laughing with the Li clan, and replied, "Sister Niu Hulu is here, I was just talking to Sister Li about you." Huizhu straightened up, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but show doubts on her face.
Seeing Huizhu's puzzled expression, the Wulanala clan didn't explain much, but hurriedly ordered: "These blindless minions, didn't you see Sister Niu Hulu coming, and they didn't wait, and poured refreshments." When Huizhu heard what the Wulanala clan said, she blessed her, didn't ask anything more, and went directly to the Geng clan to sit down.
Geng Shi looked at Huizhu, who knew nothing, and sighed a little in her heart, with her temperament, I don't know if this is a good thing or not good for her. But now it's inconvenient to say it clearly, after all, the matter hasn't been decided yet, so Geng Shi thought about it for a while, looked at Huizhu who seemed to be puzzled, and comforted him in a low voice: "Sister Huizhu, I also just knew, and it wasn't a big deal, so I discussed accompanying ......."
Before Geng finished speaking, Li interrupted: "Looking at Sister Niu Hulu, I really think Sister Fujin's words are reasonable. I think this Niu Hulu sister not only knows etiquette and rules, but also comes from everyone's background, unlike some people. Oh, our mansion is not as good as before, but the palace of Prince Yong of the Qing Dynasty, if you go out, you can't lose the face of your lord and sister. Well, I thought about it, or Niu Hulu's sister is the most suitable. After speaking, Li showed a friendly smile to Huizhu, but secretly looked at Huizhu's expression, saw Huizhu's expression was outside, and recalled that Huizhu had been in the house for more than six years, silent, low-key seemed to not exist, and had never had a body, and couldn't help but smile even more kindly.
As soon as Li's words fell, there was nothing unexpected except for the Wulanala clan and the Geng clan, and the rest of the people all had unnatural flashes on their faces, and looked at Huizhu with jealousy in their eyes. In such a scene, Huizhu heard that it was crooked, and it seemed that something had fallen on her, and it was a good thing for the women in the back house.
Huizhu thought about it as she met Lee's friendly smile, but her heart was even more suspicious. Some time ago, it was still the beginning of spring, the weather was still cold, and the third elder brother Hongyun accidentally fell into the icy pool water and almost died. Fortunately, he was rescued by a passing slave, but he was already drowning, not only choking on water, but also bruising his head, neck and chest. Later, Yinzhen learned that he was furious and thoroughly investigated, but found nothing, and Yinzhen had to order someone to add a backyard pond to quench his anger. But Hongyun didn't get very good because of this, and his already weak body was even more affected by the evil qi, and he was still drowsy and couldn't stay. As a result, the Li family is frowning these days, guarding Hongyun all day long, and even not coming to ask for peace for several days. But not only did he come today, but he also smiled kindly at her, what is the explanation?
Huizhu's heart was tumbling, looking at the silver-red gold silk crepe embroidered colorful dandie and cheongsam, and couldn't hide the dark green Li family in front of him, got up and blessed, and asked: "Concubine Xie Li Fujin praised, don't you know, what is the so-called matter between Fujin and Li Fujin?" Li Shi looked at the cautious Huizhu, and his smile deepened: "Hehe, why do you need to do anything for Sister Niu Hulu, we are good sisters." As for what's going on, sister, I'm here to say hello to you. However, this matter is also a big deal, so it's better to let Fu Jin talk about it. ”
The Wulanala clan responded with a smile, smiled at the Li family, and looked at Huizhu and said: "Presumably Sister Niu Hulu still doesn't know, a few days ago the Long Live Lord made a decree and said ......" Yahuan's voice interrupted the words of the Wulanala clan.
"Nian Fujin, Wu Gege has arrived." Huizhu listened to Yahuan's voice, and it was very unhealing, didn't she get to the point, so she was interrupted.
Just when Huizhu was also thinking about it secretly, Nian's family, who was dressed in a light lotus lotus-colored large gauze and gold hundred butterfly pattern flag costume, walked over with Wu Shi in a peach-colored cheongsam with the support of Yahuan and Mama Xing.
The Ulanala clan looked at the Nian clan who had not come to ask for peace for several days, his eyes changed, he didn't speak, and only after the Nian clan and the Wu clan saluted and asked for peace, did he say with a concerned face: "Sister Nian, why are you here, haven't you been sick for a long time, how can you support your body to ask for peace today." Quick, Mama Wang helped me and put my sister on the chair and sat down. After speaking, the Ulanala clan paused, and said with a fierce face: "Mama Xing, you are also the old man next to Sister Nian, Sister Nian suffered from a cold some time ago, and she was sick for a long time, so she should recuperate, why did you let her come to ask for peace." ”
When Mama Xing heard this, she immediately knelt down and pleaded guilty: "The old slave deserves to die, please forgive Fujin." Seeing this, Li Shi smiled, and then glared at Wu Shi fiercely, and glanced at Nian Shi with a sick face, his eyes flashed with joy, ready to add fuel to the fire, and he was going to punish Mama's sin. was robbed by Nian, who coughed a few times, and said: "Fujin, please forgive me, this has nothing to do with Mama Xing." You don't have to kneel, get up. ”
Nian's words fell, and the room was quiet for a while, and they all looked at Mama Xing who stood up and Nian's who spoke.
