Seventy-five
When I woke up, it was already dark, and I don't know when the lamp in the house was in charge, probably Xuan Ye came back! I got up and got out of bed, just as Xiaolan pushed the door and saw me standing in the middle of the room and said, "When did Miss wake up?" The slave was afraid that the young lady would wake up to the darkness in the house, so she turned on the lamp early", and I said, "Just woke up, the son is back!" Xiaolan poured me a cup of tea and said, "The master hasn't come back yet!" Is Miss hungry? Drink some tea first, and the slave will come over with the food," he said and withdrew.
I wondered in my heart, why hasn't Xuan Ye come back yet? Something must have happened, right? I sat down and carefully recalled the history of the Kangxi Dynasty that I knew, there was nothing big in the past few years, it should be fine, so I put my mind at ease again, Xiaolan came in with food, I ate a few bites without knowing the taste and let Xiaolan take it down, I found the book collection that Xuan Ye Suri read and picked it up, but they were all imperial books, I was not interested in reading them all so I had to put them all up again, took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone to write, polished the ink but had no intention of writing, Xiaolan fetched water and said: "Miss, it's not early, freshen up and rest!" ”。
I said, "What did Childe say when he went out this morning?" Xiaolan lowered her head and thought about it carefully: "Ye seems to have said, "If you come back late, let Miss not have to wait for him to rest early", there is nothing else to do", I "um" and said: "You can rest too!" I'll go to bed after freshening up", Xiaolan retreated when he heard this, he knew that he would come back very late, and he didn't know what he was going to do? After freshening up, I took off my coat and lay on the bed, but I couldn't sleep, probably because I slept too much during the day, so I got up and got out of bed and came to the table, pressed the paper and prepared to practice calligraphy, otherwise this polished inkstone would not be wasted.
By the time I finished writing this inkstone, I took out my pocket watch and looked at it, I guess the city gate was already closed! I got up and lay down on the bed but still couldn't sleep, I had to get up and get out of bed again to add water and ink, when I wrote two inkstones and ink, there was a trace of light outside the window, I dropped the pen and shook some soreness of the arm, and took out the pocket watch to see, a moment ago, I stretched my waist, got dressed and thought that the day was almost dawn, don't go out for a walk, I heard the guy say that there is a morning market not far from here! Thinking about it, I went out of the door, and saw Da Chun sitting on the ground outside my door leaning against the wall and napping, I had the intention to wake him up and go back to the house to sleep, but I thought that if I woke him up, he would definitely follow me, or don't call him, I wanted to go shopping alone, thinking about it, I gently closed the door, and even Xiaolan didn't tell herself to go out of the inn alone.
The guy outside was cleaning the courtyard, and when he saw me come out, he smiled and said, "Why did you get up so early?" Then he looked back and wondered, "Why did you come out alone?" I said, "It's okay, I want to go to the morning market, how do I get there?" The man said, "Madam, it's the right time for you to go now, the city gate has been opened, and the vendors who sell things have probably gone to the place, and it's still early to think that there won't be too many people ......", I saw that this guy had said these things and hadn't talked about the right place, but it was not easy to interrupt him, and finally he said: "It's the street where you and Gongzi went to the market the day before yesterday, and there is a morning market every day", and when I heard this, I went out of the inn and walked to that street.
It is said that it is dawn, but it is not bright, it is still a little dark, only the east shows a shallow trace of fish belly white, there are no street lights on the ancient road, fortunately the road is very flat and not so much that I fall, the autumn morning is already a little cold, the air is moist with dew, I took a deep breath and felt cool, very wet, there are almost no pedestrians on the road, I did a few broad-chested exercises, trotted to the morning market.
The small vendor branch in the morning market is sparse, and some are looking for a place to put things, and there are very few people who come to buy things, I walked slowly, the morning market is not as lively as the market, most of them are villagers in the countryside, selling their own fruits and vegetables, or their own chickens and ducks, or fish and shrimp caught by fishermen themselves, I don't buy anything, just curious to look around, the sky is gradually brightening, there are more and more people in the morning market, and I am ready to go back.
Walked to the entrance of the morning market to see a flower seller, among which there is a bucket of verdant evergreen, then stop to watch, although it is close to late autumn but evergreen is vigorous without a trace of decadence, then remembered a story, as if to say something about which minister, Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager Shengshou, other ministers are given real money and precious gifts, he ingeniously sent a bucket of buckets with iron hoops of evergreen, the queen mother likes to plant flowers and grass, but evergreen is not a precious and strange flower, the queen mother is not unusual, The minister said at the holy birthday banquet: "This is the "iron hoop unification of the Qing Dynasty", in order to dedicate to the Queen Mother, may the Queen Mother be auspicious, the emperor will live well, and the Qing Dynasty will last for thousands of years", and finally everyone is happy, the Queen Mother and the emperor are very happy, the minister not only saved a lot of birthday gift money but also got a lot of rewards, but I don't know if this story is true.
Seeing that I was carefully looking at his flowers and plants, the flower seller hurriedly stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Girl, do you want to buy flowers?" Look what kind of flowers you like, I'll give you a cheaper", I pointed to the bucket of evergreen and said, "I want this, but I can't move it, so be it!" I'll give you the money first, and when you get off the morning market in a while, will you help me deliver it to the Yuelai Inn on the street in front? The peddler said, "Okay! Don't worry, I'll deliver it", I asked for another pot of chrysanthemums, and after counting the money to him, I walked to the inn with the chrysanthemums.
I held the chrysanthemum halfway to the road, and I saw Xuan Ye rushing from a distance, he obviously saw me a long time ago, just I was a little tired holding the chrysanthemum, so I put the chrysanthemum on the ground and waited for him to come, behind him was the sun that had just risen, the sun's light illuminated the dew in the air and refracted a rainbow-like halo, I flashed in front of me, I just wanted to speak but was hugged by him into his arms, the hoop was so tight, as if holding a lost baby, I pushed him but did not push, I had to let him hold me, I felt that after a while he didn't want to let go of me, I said: "You let go of me, I'm almost out of breath", he let go of me, I looked at him and said, "Did you just come back?" ”
