Chapter 7: The dilapidated boudoir

Qin Mingyue involuntarily walked slowly in the house. This is the multi-treasure of the cypress wood that I am familiar with, and the cheap but beautiful colored porcelain on it was bought back from the market.

These cheap porcelain, later, after he became a national teacher, never appeared in front of his eyes again. Although the porcelain I used later was exquisite, none of these cheap porcelains looked like.

There is also the cypress furniture, although it is old and cheap, but it is very strong and durable. Although the mansion of the prince's mansion, the maiden home of her girlhood, is the mansion of the prince, but because it has been away from power for many years, it is dilapidated, and the mansion has always lived a poor life. The supporting expensive furnishings of the Liguo Mansion had been pawned clean by her grandfather and father's generation long before Qin Mingyue was born.

Therefore, from the time Qin Mingyue was born, she saw such a poor and dilapidated Guogong Mansion. Later, when she became a national teacher and married, not only did the wealthy Jinyang Marquis Mansion give the Liguo Mansion a lot of silver, shops, and land, but also later, after she became a powerful person, there were more people who befriended her mother's family.

Although Qin Mingyue did her best for the country as a national teacher, she inevitably put her father and brothers in a rich and fat position, making the Liguo Mansion glorious again.

Therefore, these dilapidated furniture, even if Qin Mingyue returned to her parents' house later, she didn't see them again.

Qin Mingyue looked at the bits and pieces in her boudoir with great interest in the dim light, and was very happy.

When I walked to a dressing table, I was stunned. This is not the big crystal mirror that Qin Mingyue used to use later. This is still a dim bronze mirror, and besides, the mirror is not large. When dressing table, it is made of willow wood, strong and cheap. There are a few boxes of some simple fat powder made by Qin Mingyue herself with the maid on the dressing table, and there is a small jewelry box the size of a palm, no need to look through it, Qin Mingyue also knows that there are only a few worthless jewelry in it.

However, this was not the reason for Qin Mingyue's shock, what shocked her was her blurred face in the mirror.

Qin Mingyue has been accustomed to wearing the robes of the national teacher majestically for more than ten years, wearing expensive jewelry on her head, or the touch of the jade leaf gold crown that symbolizes her identity, as well as the tired and cold touch after removing her makeup, and now she is suddenly in the dim mirror, when she sees her youthful and tender and lovely girlish face, she is really shocked.

Qin Mingyue involuntarily sat on the stool next to the dressing table, carefully looking at the youthful face in the blurred bronze mirror through the dim light.

This is a bright, colorful face, with a clear and untouched worldly appearance, and a bright and optimistic yearning for the future. Such a beautiful youth has long been sealed in Qin Mingyue's memories, and now that they suddenly meet, it really makes people want to cry.

Qiu Ge, who was serving on the side, was a little anxious. What's going on with the master today?

At this time, the door opened softly, and a big girl wearing a moon-white gown came in, she was holding a candlestick in her hand, and saw Qiu Ge and Qin Mingyue and asked, "Why did Miss wake up?" In the middle of the night, Qiu Ge, why don't you serve Miss and sleep for a while? Is there still an hour until dawn? ”

Qin Mingyue hurriedly turned around, and what she saw was Dongqu's face full of girlish youth.

Qin Mingyue has still seen it in Dongqu. That was about ten years ago, and once, when Qin Mingyue came back from the court, a woman stopped her palanquin.

It's winter song. At that time, Qin Mingyue was very strange, wasn't Dongqu married? I heard that I followed my husband's family to Jiangnan, why did I appear at the door of the mansion, why didn't I go in since I came, but waited at the door?

Qin Mingyue was very happy to play the winter song and was about to reminisce about the past. However, Dongqu had a sad face. Qin Mingyue wondered if Dongqu's mother-in-law was in trouble. I was about to ask and help her solve it, but at this time, Yin Dyed Qiu ran over in a panic, and when he saw that the color of Dongqu had changed greatly, he hurriedly stopped Dongqu's words.

and told Qin Mingyue that there was suddenly an urgent matter in the court to summon Qin Mingyue into the palace. It turned out to be an invasion of the surrounding Great Xia. The menacing situation is menacing, Qin Mingyue can only open the altar, use the Xuangui jade plate for divination, and the sky is dark when he is busy, where can he take care of asking about Dongqu?

By the time I was done, two or three months had passed, and I didn't know where Dongqu had gone. Yin Ran Qiu told her that it was Dongqu's in-laws who had a small lawsuit and were framed, and she had already given Qin Mingyue's name to the local yamen and had helped Dongqu solve it. He also rewarded Qin Mingyue with fifty taels of silver for winter song, some clothes and materials, and snacks.

Hearing these words, Qin Mingyue at that time was very happy, and felt that Yin Dye Qiu was too good at doing things, and gave Yin Dye Qiu a precious jade ornament.

Now that I think about it, there is a good chance that Dongqu told her a lie about it. Dongqu must have had a very bad time, and he couldn't even enter the gate of the Marquis of Jinyang. It's a pity that I didn't help her. Thinking about it, I was really stupid, why was I played with by this cheap woman in the palm of my hand?

With guilt for Dongqu, Qin Mingyue said to Dongqu with a smile: "I'm fine, but I had a nightmare, I couldn't sleep for a while, get up and drink tea, and I'll sleep later." ”

Dongqu is not dependent, she is the oldest of the four maids, so she is also the most worried. She went directly to take Qin Mingyue's little hand, sent her to the bed, waited for her to take off her clothes, entered the warm quilt, and carefully tucked the quilt and said, "Miss, you go to sleep quickly." If you're afraid of having nightmares again, Qiu Ge and I will guard you. You don't have to be afraid. Actually, I told Miss yesterday. Although that treasure Xuangui jade plate is valuable, it is an antiquity after all, and it cannot be placed next to the pillow. Let me keep it for you, and you won't lose it. ”

"I've heard old ladies say that such antiquities are spiritual, and if you put them next to your pillows, you might have nightmares. Isn't it being said by the grandmothers now? ”

"You'd better leave it to me, right?"

Qin Mingyue followed Dong Qu's eyes and looked at the pillow, and sure enough, the small Xuan Turtle Jade Plate with the size of a palm was lying quietly at the head of the bed. It was still the same mottled ancient jade color, not as huge and crystal clear as I saw later. However, it is also a little different from what I play with every day. The faint shadow of the turtle in the middle seemed to be even darker, and at first glance, it was as if it had just been hit hard. Even the image of the turtle looks sluggish.

Qin Mingyue couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart.
