127. Gifts
。
I smiled, and the woman in the mirror suddenly showed a cold and beautiful face.
"Little, Miss, you are so beautiful...... Lu Zhu's eyes were full of amazement, and he couldn't help but praise him.
Spring has spring, summer has hibiscus, colorful begonias, not as good as cold Ningxiang.
The beauty of the county lord of Ning'an is not just who says it......
"County Lord, there are a lot of birthday guests coming outside, but you want to hold a banquet in the evening?" Midori asked.
I shook my head and said, "Return the birthday gifts one by one, send them the prepared wedding cakes, and say that I am unwell, resting on the couch, and it is inconvenient to see the guests, so persuade them to disperse." ”
"But......" Lu Zhu wanted to say something, and when the words came to his mouth, he just said yes, and then bowed his head and retreated.
About half an hour later, Lu Zhu came back to his life, saying that everyone had dispersed, I hummed, asked her to prepare a few boxes of Xishou cakes, went to the palace to thank her, and then went to the mansion of Prince Rong and Mrs. Ji to sit for a while.
Old Prince Rong was very happy to see me, and he insisted that I accompany him to play chess, but it was difficult to resist, so he played a game with him. Mrs. Ji was more enthusiastic over there, holding my hand, and not letting go of the chat, and when I left the Hou Ye's Mansion, it was already too late......
In the past, on their birthdays, Rong Ziyang and Ji Yun often dragged some people to set fire to the leg of mutton in the back garden of the county lord's mansion, but now that they are on the border, I don't know what to do.
By the way, before returning to Shengjing, Su Huo said that there was a box for me in his study, and after thinking about it, he got into the carriage and headed for the general's mansion.
Calculate the time, since His Majesty gave me a new mansion, it is the first time I have returned to the General's Mansion.
When the curtain of the car was opened, the lion in front of the door was mighty, and the guards at the gate stood straight, everything seemed to be the same as before, but it was a lot more deserted.
The green beads have already put the stool, I just got off the car in a shallow step, and the door trotted to welcome some people, bowed down in front of me, singing and drinking the auspiciousness of the county lord, I glanced at it, and the person who was the leader was the old housekeeper.
"Uncle butler, please get up." I hurried up to help him.
Although it has been so many years, I still remember that when he took me back to the house late at night, he was the only one in the general's mansion who would wait at the door, give me the lamp, and send me back to the courtyard.
The housekeeper got up in response, looked up at me, his eyes were red, he choked up for a while, and finally said, "The county lord is finally coming home?" ”
I haven't seen him for a few years, the old housekeeper has lost a lot of weight, the corners of his smooth eyes are full of wrinkles, although his hair is only gray, and his big white back seems to be a little tuo, and he looks very old.
I didn't know how I felt, I just smiled.
The housekeeper reacted at this time, and quickly let me into the house, I asked him why the house was so clean, he said that Su Hong and Wu Wanhua went to the other courtyard, and the third lady went to Qing'an Temple to worship the Buddha today, so it was pure.
I nodded, I explained my intentions, and he led me directly to Suho's study.
Su Huo's study is on the left side of the mansion, it is very spacious, there is a Yangchun sword in the door, under the sword is the carved table and chairs, there are a lot of books on the bookshelf on the right side of the table, and on the left is a row of columns, with some ornaments and plays.
I glanced around, went straight to the bookshelf, took the books out of the third row, and found the book-sized red lacquered wooden box in the bottom cabinet.
This box is a little old, there is a delicate buckle on it, I twisted it a few times and didn't open it, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a small trap box.
Sitting on a chair with the box, after careful study, he finally found the small mechanism on the back of the box, took off the bead hairpin on his sideburns, and poked it lightly with a sharp angle, and the mechanism box was opened.
Inside the box was a booklet and a small cloth bag, and I took out the booklet first, and when I opened the first page, it was a woman's white drawing.
This woman's eyebrows and eyes are clear, her cheeks are pointed, she is really a delicate and moving, I look at the pattern, the more I look at it, the more familiar I feel, and suddenly I think that this woman's appearance is similar to me.
I turned to the second page, which was also a white drawing, and the figures on this page were smaller, surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the woman was wearing a loose robe, looking at the scenery in the mountains.
On the third page, the woman is playing in the water by the stream, on the fourth page, the back of a young general appears, and the woman is looking back, and on the fifth page, the general and the woman are looking at each other.
This time, I can see that the appearance of the general is Su Tianmu's father, this woman, there is no doubt that it must be her mother Luo'er.
I continued to flip through the booklet, on this booklet, the two from meeting, to acquaintance, from the moon to the piano, the flute in the wind, to the cruise to watch the scenery, all the things about drinking and singing, eyebrows and eyes A few strokes of expressiveness, I just flipped through the booklet, I can already feel the affection of the two back then.
The so-called only envy of mandarin ducks and not envy immortals, that's it.
The booklet turned to the middle, and the style of painting changed, turning into the appearance of a general wearing a wedding robe and a woman wearing a phoenix crown, and it was time for the two to get married.
Later, the picture is of a woman who is pregnant in October, and each page of the booklet has a different expression, with joy and anger on the paper, and the hearts of those who read it are warm.
In the future, it was a man holding the baby, and the woman was lying on the couch with joy, which should be the scene where she gave birth to Su Tianmu.
The last page of this album is a little desolate, with a lonely grave in the painting, a team of wild grass, a few delicate flowers in front of the grave, and three cups of sake. On the right side is a small poem of Danqing, which reads: I miss it every year, and my intestines are broken every year, if I don't read it from now on, it is better to break my liver and intestines.
With a slight feeling in my heart, looking at the little poem, I actually felt the slightest sadness and the fairy couple was separated by yin and yang in the end, which was really a pity.
I talked briefly, I wanted to go to the booklet, but one of the pages was scattered, I quickly picked it up, I wanted to put it back in order, but I found that the corners of the page were torn.
This is a simple booklet with a seam in the middle of the paper.,It's drawn first and then bound.,There's no reason to draw it and tear it off......
Moreover, looking at the entire album, every scene is coherent, and I didn't find where it was torn......
I thought about it, compared it with the album, and found that the other half of the page was actually Su Qianmu's mother's birth, and the middle of the page of the lonely grave. And when I looked closely, I found that there were also traces of tearing off from the middle of the booklet, and it turned out that three pages had been torn off in total......
This is strange to me, so decent, what are you doing to tear up?
I was suspicious, closed the booklet, and opened the small cloth bag with my hand, which was a camel flower jade pendant and a small ball.
The jade pendant is extremely colorful, and the hidden corner of the jade flower is engraved with a small Luo character, which should be left by the mother. And that little ball, the size of the thumb cover......
I pinched it twice with my hand, and it felt very strange in texture, and it smelled like a smell of hot oil, and I really couldn't see what it was for, so I had to put it back again.
I took a closer look at the box, and after making sure that there was no mezzanine, I put the things back again, buckled the mechanism, and after thinking about it, I said to the old housekeeper, "I want to take this box, but okay?" ”
The old housekeeper had been guarding the door, and when he saw me talking, he quickly turned around and said, "County Lord, the box was asked by the lord to come and see, and it must be given to you, so the county lord can take it." ”
I nodded, picked up the box and walked out of the study, walked two steps and felt that something was wrong, and when I looked back at him looking at me and stopped, I said, "Uncle housekeeper, is there something wrong?" ”
The old housekeeper said, "County Lord, are you leaving, it's the county lord's birthday today, it's better to go back after eating, the old slave will let the kitchen cook things........."
"No need." I hurriedly stopped him, and said with a light smile, "Uncle housekeeper, don't bother, there is still something to do, so I won't eat in the house." ”
The old butler answered, followed me all the way without saying a word, and sent me out of the General's Mansion.
The carriage slowly moved in the direction of the county lord's mansion, and I opened the curtain and turned back, but the butler was still standing in the same place......
I sighed secretly, lowered the curtain and closed my eyes, and after a while, I arrived at the county lord's mansion.
At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and the house had already prepared a meal, and when I was eating, Green Bead kept looking out the window, and I looked strange, and asked her...... "What are you looking at?" ”
"Uh, no, no." She laughed dryly, hung her head for a while, and looked at it again......
I just asked her to go out and bring me some sugar water.
She had just gone out with her front feet when a figure came in through the window.
Except for Xuanyuan Chen, no one would go through the window, so I didn't raise my head, and continued to pick up a piece of beef and put it in my mouth.
Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, "Little girl, why is there no defense at all, aren't you afraid, a bad guy comes in?" ”
I ignored him and continued to eat.
"Ho......." Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, took out a bamboo pot from his sleeve, and took a sip.
At this time, Luzhu also came back with sugar water, and when she saw that there was one more person in the room, she was not surprised but seemed to be relieved, gave a shallow salute, put the sugar water on the table, and turned around and went out, and at the end, she also closed the door with her hand......
I suddenly felt a dark cloud, and now it was finally just what she had just been looking at......
Xuanyuan Chen chuckled, "took out a box from his arms and handed it over" Na, happy birthday. ”
The box was extremely small, a finger's wide, and I was a little curious about what was inside, so I took it and opened it.
Inside, it was a strange silk cloth, and I called it to find out that it was a silk vest that could almost see the sunlight on the other side. This is......
"This is the silk soft armor, the silk knife can't be seen, the fire can't be burned, it's extremely difficult to find, I wanted to make a dress, but I couldn't find more materials, so I only made a vest." He smiled.
Then he added, "However, I have prepared other gifts for you." ”
After speaking, as soon as he raised his arm, I saw that he had a ribbon tied around his wrist, and I was surprised, so I listened to him say slowly, "I want to give you the best, but I can't give it all at once." I have no choice but to give myself to you as a gift, so that I can give you whatever you want. ”
"Stay with me, what do you want, say it to me."
