Chapter 19: Immaculate Victory over Beauty

Although I heard the news of Du Tang, I felt that it was very tricky. I've never met Du Tang, how can I get him to do things for me. And this person is a soft and hard master, neither pleasing nor threatening, in case the matter is exposed. And Du Tang is a person who is glorious and beautiful, and he will not agree to do such a private thing.

So, in what way will Xu Shuyou arrange for us to meet?

Thinking like this for a moment, I heard Peaches hurry in from the outhouse.

Zhu Yun took a sip: "Are you more and more ignorant of the rules now, how can you come in the wing room, and you won't spread the word, I don't know that there is no one in Tanghua Courtyard?" ”

Peaches stopped embarrassedly, and replied with a slight red voice: "Yes." ”

I waved my hand for Momoko to continue, "The second young master is back. ”

Second brother is back?

I dropped the Ningguo miscellaneous items in my hand: "Quick, Zhuyun will bring me a pair of clothes." ”

What is Miss wearing today? “

"Just the apricot-colored jacket."

After getting dressed, I went to the East Courtyard. When the second brother comes back, he must see him.

"Yo! My sister just came, and the good things that my second brother brought back were almost finished by us. Song Yue raised her head and looked at me with sparkling eyes, naughty and coquettish.

This peach must have deliberately called me late, so she made a nervous look. I knew it in my heart, so I didn't say anything.

Song Di smiled: "Yao'er Xu lost a game of chess with me yesterday, so I asked her for a puppet made by Zhuyun for her, she said she wanted to make it herself, she must have stayed up late last night, look at this red eye." Yao'er is so kind to her sister, it makes me really distressed. ”

It seems that the eldest sister is going to help me out, because I didn't play chess with her yesterday, let alone a puppet. I lowered my head embarrassedly: "The eldest sister is used to making fun of my sister, thinking that the second brother will come back today, so I also made one for the second brother, but I didn't have time to make it after a long time." ”

A young man wearing a dark dark robe, a robe with a standing collar, embroidered with gold threads, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a bright air turned his head: "This is Sister Yao?" ”

"Isn't it, Yao'er is really eccentric, I haven't seen anything embroidered for me after coming back for so long, and you will have a gift as soon as you come back." The eldest brother patted the second brother on the shoulder.

"Haha, the second brother liked your pink little sister when he was a child, and now he has grown so big." The second brother grinned.

"When my sister comes back, my second brother is so rare, don't you like me?" Song Yue pouted.

The aunt patted Song Yue's head: "Look at this child, he is still jealous of your sister." ”

"Yue'er is not annoyed, they are all the same, but I just met Sister Yao, so it is naturally more rare." The second brother bent down, as if coaxing a child.

I rarely see Song Yue so sincere, although she is sometimes very good at coaxing people, but this time I always feel that she really likes this brother. And the second brother is also very patient, not like a man who has been on the battlefield for a long time.

Song Yue curled the corners of her mouth happily and glanced at me proudly. Although he was seen by the second brother, he only smiled helplessly.

"Xiang'er, you ran away in a bad mood, and you had to follow General Yan to Beiqi, so you can gain something for two years?" The eldest uncle looked at Song Xiang.

"The boy just came back, and everyone was very happy. He has not yet pleaded guilty to his father. Song Xiang suddenly knelt down.

Uncle waved his hand: "No need. ”

The child was not filial piety, and did not listen to his father's words to enter the imperial examination, but found General Yan in a negative anger and begged him to take me to lead the troops to fight, General Yan knew that it was not appropriate to place me in the position of command, but he didn't dare to let me be injured, but he just responded to me and asked me to be his deputy. Half a year later, I slowly started as a lieutenant. “

"General Yan also wrote a letter to me when he took you away, thinking for my father that if you are committed to the battlefield, it doesn't matter, I just hope you don't bury the reputation of our Song family."

"Father, rest assured."

"Get up, I don't know how long you can stay when you come back this time, take this opportunity to get together with your family, and accompany your aunt more, she doesn't know how angry she has been in these days when you are gone."

The second brother stood up upright and looked straight in the direction of Mrs. Yun: "Auntie, will you forgive the child?" ”

"Silly boy, it's good if you come back, I don't ask for any fame, just be safe."

"Auntie...... Mrs. Yun and the second brother's eyes were red, and some grandmothers in the hall quietly wiped their tears.

The eldest uncle stroked his beard and said: "Now that Ning Guo has won a great victory, Xiang'er has also been promoted to lieutenant, Yun Chu's health is not good, but he has been serving me and my wife conscientiously, and I have a meritorious service to Mrs. Yun, I have the intention to raise Mrs. Yun as a flat wife." I don't know if you have any opinions? “

None of them spoke, nodding in agreement.

The second brother was very moved and said, "Thank you, Dad." ”

Song Di clapped his hands and praised: "Brother Xiang, it's really excellent." ”

At noon, I went to Tianxiang Building. When the steward of Tianxiang Lou saw me, he led him directly into the inner courtyard.

When I went up to the second floor, I saw a lot of white jade boxes in front of the old man, and the jade boxes were engraved with patterns. There are lotus flowers, peony national colors, shy moon seasons, and proud roses.

"Look, kid!" The flower girl opened all the white jade boxes one by one like offering treasures, and suddenly a faint fragrance of fat powder floated out. The color in each box is different.

"The flower girl made it, the flower girl loves flowers." Hua Niang was very happy to say to me. He seemed to think of me as a confidant.

"Hua Niang is doing a good job." I gave him a look of encouragement.

When I went downstairs, I said to the steward, "I want to see Xu Shuyou, tomorrow afternoon, the old place." ”

Yuelai Restaurant recently launched a new program, and a vacant lot was moved out of the middle of the restaurant, and a stage was set up, on which the repertoire of Queqiao Fairy was performing. The Seven Fairies and Dong Yongzheng were babbling and singing about the pain of parting.

When I heard this, I felt that the tea I drank also oozing bitterness, and frowned.

"Does Mu Gongzi feel that this tea is bitter or this drama is bitter?"

"Although this tea is bitter, it is not the most bitter, and although this play is sad, it is not the saddest."

"What does Brother Mu think is the most miserable thing in the world?"

"Birth, old age, sickness, death, resentment, love and separation, five yin blazing, unwanted. In this world, it is about the most bitter that you can't ask for and can't let go. ”

"I think there is nothing I can't ask for, only whether I want to."

I pursed my lips, "It's about that you haven't encountered anything you can't ask for." ”

"The rouge has been made, can it be sold?" Xu Shuyou looked at me very seriously.

I said, "There's still one time missing." ”

"When? Forgive me for being stupid. Xu Shuyou didn't understand.

"A time when Gyokuro Rouge is famous in Los Angeles." I tapped the table with my folding fan. "After the year, it will be the last days of the crown prince's selection of concubines. At that time, I can transfer this rouge loan to the eldest lady of the Ning'an Hou Mansion, and after she chooses a concubine, it will inevitably attract the nobles of Los Angeles to chase after her. Then, at the same time, he released a gimmick, saying that it was supplemented with water essence to take care of the skin better. ”

"Water spirits?"

"The water essence is translucent, and the "Shennong's Materia Medica" once wrote that it can calm the nerves, replenish the organs, and also form a magnetic force to moisturize the skin. Boss Xu of Miaoshou Hall won't know, right? ”

"It's just that the water spirit has been used in medicine, and no one has ever ...... No one has ever used it as a beauty object. ”

"What others can't do, it's the secret recipe that keeps Tianxianglou from falling."

In fact, another reason is that I have heard in the past few days that my grandfather's family is in business, and my mother's dowry contains two water concentrates, and I want to meet my grandfather before the prince chooses a concubine, and I want to return to my mother's dowry before the Yulu rouge is sold.

It's also a difficult task.
