Chapter 703: Listen to the Words of the Seventh Prince
The man who walked in made the maid Xiaotao, who had always had a straight face, suddenly dazzled, that man was so good-looking!
The eyebrows are like ink cuts, the nose is very beautiful, and the face is like a carving, with distinct facial features, handsome. Xiao Tao has been working in the Guan family for several years, and he has never seen a man more elegant than him. Who is this person, and is he also a guest at the osmanthus feast?
His black hair, like a pool of inky water, was draped diagonally over his left shoulder, braided into a long Mongolian braid, and tied at the end with a crimson ribbon. The fine fabric of the ice silkworm cocoon, cut into a thick robe with padded cotton, and a layer of crystal frost hanging on the sleeves, it was a hot day, but he seemed to have just come from the winter country.
Xiao Tao looked at him stunned, only to see his long eyebrows raised, his black eyes staring at He Angelica, and his mouth was a mellow and pleasant voice: "Qing'er, can you be obedient once?" I let Yitong take a good look at you, where are the two of them lazy? You're here on your own? ”
He Angelica also raised his eyebrows and replied: "Yes, of course I shouldn't be a guest alone, I should drink a few more bowls of 'ecstasy soup' and stay at home to embroider." But as a busy man, the seventh son should really go home to see if he has time, what happened in Qingyuan, and what accidents happened in Yiyu. I haven't asked you how to walk into the inner courtyard of someone's house, and you're wearing a fancy dress, but you're torturing me! ”
When two people meet, they quarrel mercilessly, and they look very familiar, what will be the relationship between the two of them? Xiao Tao's eyes looked left and right, and all kinds of speculations flashed in his heart.
The handsome man pursed his thin red lips, pulled He Angelica farther away, lowered his voice and asked, "Something happened to Yiyi?" Is it serious? You came to the Guan family, does this matter have anything to do with the Guan family? ”
"Guess." He Angelica Dao.
The other party finished talking for a while, and the dark pupil looked at her for a while before saying, "Okay, I know the matter, and I will send someone to deal with it." You go out of here at once, take the carriage I have arranged, and go home, don't act on your own, don't do anything superfluous. ”
"Home?" He Angelica asked a little funny, "Which home to go back to?" ”
"Our home, the Meng family in the capital."
He Angelica put on a gesture of forgiveness and cooperation, and told him with his chin held high: "Meng Xuan, I know the situation in the capital and the changes in Yangzhou as well as you, and I also want to get involved, get what I want, and protect the people I want to protect, you can't stop me." Because I'm not a thing that you put around, let alone a burden, one time Yangzhou, one time and Beijing, next time should I hide in the Saibei Desert to be safe? ”
The conversation between the two of them was not loud, but Xiao Tao heard the word "Meng Xuan". Meng Xuan, she only knew that this was one of the sons of the Meng family, and she hadn't figured out the relationship between He Angelica and Meng Xuan, so she only sighed in her heart, the son of the Meng family is really a talent as rumored, if she can be the maid of the Meng family and serve such a master, the current person is also very good!
Meng Xuan's Mongolian long braid slid back to his shoulders, and his face was full of annoyance. He knew how stubborn He Angelica's temperament was from the first day he met her, but this was also the reason why he didn't want her to take risks. Usually you can relax, but this time it doesn't, just when he is selfish and dictatorial, her peace is better than everything.
Calming her tone, Meng Xuan began to discuss with her: "Half a month, you go back to Meng's house to live for half a month, stay at home obediently and don't go out, and when the time passes, I will resign from all military affairs, and I will accompany you wherever you want to go, okay?" Or would you rather I hang my heart every day and never give up on anything? ”
He Angelica chuckled lightly and asked: "It's not good to shine, everyone is not good, can you have one end of your heart and people hiding at the other end?" The seventh prince can't believe in my ability, and I still think that you are too bad to do things, and it is easy to be calculated. Why don't you and I have a good time, you are in the Lord, I am outside the Lord, maybe there will be unexpected surprises? ”
Meng Xuan finally couldn't help but make a move. The slender fingers swept over several big holes on the little woman who was arguing with him opposite, and the movements were so fast that even Xiao Tao, who couldn't take his eyes off it, didn't know what was going on, but was attracted by the curvature on his thin lips, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Meng Xuan smiled insincerely and apologized: "When I go home next time, I will argue with you slowly, it is really inappropriate now." ”
However, He Angelica didn't let him laugh for long, because she was blocked by Meng Xuan's unique fingering, and her body did not fall down as she wished, nor did she lose consciousness.
She only took a step back, took a pill from the blue and white vase, and resolved the crisis, revealing the secret by the way: "I made a little preparation before going out, and I put on the body armor made by Qing'er, which can also come in handy to deal with a master like you, how about it?" Are you impressed with me? Actually, I don't want to quarrel with you in someone's garden, so I just go my own way to see who plants the heel first, and then comment on it, how about it? ”
Meng Xuan shook his head at first, and then his gaze suddenly crossed He Angelica's shoulder, looked at the other end of the garden, and smiled slightly. He Angelica turned around strangely to look, only to see Feng Yang and Zhu Quan both standing there, taking in the scene of "husband and wife bickering".
The two of them bowed slightly, and in the blink of an eye, they disappeared behind the flowers. Meng Xuan changed his attitude strangely, patted He Angelica's head and said: "In Guanfu, wherever I go, you will follow you, don't be separated, good." ”
Xiao Tao's eyes were round, and the handsome Meng Gongzi touched He Angelica's head? He Angelica lowered his head, unable to see any expression, what is the relationship between these two people......
In the end, He Angelica compromised, and Xiao Tao led the way to meet Mrs. Guan - Guan Bai, Guan Mo, Guan Yun and Zhou Jinglan's mother.
The elders of the previous generation of the Guan family are no longer alive, and Guan Bai's son is also eight years old, so Mrs. Guan in the past has also become Mrs. Guan, controlling the entire Guan family's back house, and even the royal weaving bureau that they opened with the Feng family, is also inseparable from the unique vision of the housewife for cloth art, and even the handicraft master Lu Tan, who has been an embroiderer for 30 years, is very impressed. It sounds like a very capable woman, but at first glance, Mrs. Guan and He Angelica imagined that it was completely different.
Turning around a glass cube with snuff bottles of various colors, I saw an elderly woman in a dark purple plaid robe holding an ink stick wrapped in gold leaf, drawing a pattern. The exact age can not be seen from her face, only the two temples of her hair are silver-white, her long hair is high, and there is a row of golden hairpins, single-strand silver hairpins, and jade walking on one left and one right, and her hair is not messy.
When you look closely, her eyebrows and eyes are slender, she looks kind and friendly, with sandalwood Buddhist beads hanging from her wrists with her sleeves exposed, and a hundred and eight rosaries in her left hand. The sunken wall behind the kang screen is dedicated to the Jizo King Bodhisattva, the incense burner on the table is curling, and the air is filled with the heavy smell of sandalwood, indicating that Mrs. Guan is a believer in Buddhism.
She was very attentive in her drawing, and it wasn't until He Angelica finished looking around that Old Lady Guan stopped and smiled at the guests outside the threshold: "Come in and sit, I've wanted to see you for a long time." Xiao Tao, pour that pot of cold green for the county lord. ”
Hanlu is a variant of Longjing tea, which is a tea cultivated by the Guan family themselves, and it is said to have a dazzling medicinal effect, and the prince was full of praise when he tried it. It's just that it's not easy to preserve, so it hasn't become a tribute, and it's a good tea for the Guan family.
There was only one spring stool opposite Old Madam Guan, and He Angelica sat down, and Meng Xuan obviously didn't intend to leave her more than three steps, so he gave up his seat and stood straight behind her like a guard.
The teacup is only prepared with Mrs. Guan and He Angelica, the best Ru kiln porcelain, the tea soup poured out is a thick green clear soup, He Angelica has never seen this color of tea. The bitterness in the mouth is overwhelming, and the bitterness that ordinary people can't accept.
After looking, smelling, and tasting tea, she immediately blurted out and praised: "A good cold green, it is really a rare good tea, and every kind of tea I have drunk in the past is very different, if you talk about the taste, some like Kunlun snow chrysanthemum, but more smooth and moist." Drinking a cold green in the hot summer can also remove the moisture in the body while relieving the heat, and you will not be troubled by rheumatism in winter, which is really beneficial. ”
Mrs. Guan smiled, her eyebrows were stretched out, and there were two deep lines at the center of her eyebrows. She nodded and said, "I've found a soulmate!" I collected a few catties of cold green in the ice cellar, and I took it out to entertain guests, but none of the juniors who came to drink tea understood this kind of tea, drank it and shouted bitterness, and then threw it away. If you don't take it out for hospitality, you will spoil the tea in vain. If you like it, I'll give you a pack when you leave. ”
"Then thank you," He Angelica did not shirk, and took another sip of cold green, Fang Dao, "The tip of the tongue knows that the taste is shallower than the root of the tongue, and it is the most suitable to taste the bitterness. The old lady likes to drink this kind of tea, could it be that people are like tea? ”
When Mrs. Guan heard this, she smiled even more happily, pushed away the pattern she described, held He Angelica's hand with both hands, and said a confidant words: "Since you were a child, I said that this girl of yours is different from everyone in the Luo family, and she is not like the Miao Miao that the Luo family can raise." Sure enough, after only a few years, it was completely separated from the Luo family. Now when it comes to the Luo family's 'Sichuan' generation, few people can hear it, but you are different, and now everyone knows the daughter of the official eunuchs and nobles in Yangzhou. ”
He Angelica blinked his eyes and asked, "Oh?" What kind of fame is that? ”
"They all take you as a role model," Mrs. Guan squinted, "Several girls in my family often talk about you, and they also pick up medical books that they have never read before, and they also want to learn to become a goddess doctor!" But how do they know that some things depend on talent, and those who have talent work hard to do better things than those who have no talent. Therefore, I often advise them not to think about unrealistic things, and to be a miracle doctor, it is better to learn from me about the weaving workshop. ”
As soon as the words fell, someone in the inner room immediately laughed: "Mother is talking about people behind her back again, I told them to go!" ”
