Volume 1 The First Encounter Chapter 35 The Problem of the Noble

"What can I do with Zhen in my hand?"

In the Karakura Pavilion, the two masters were teaching Li Jiao'er to make materials, and Qin Le, who had just sent Mrs. Zhang back to rest, sat aside, holding her Shih Tzu pot and drinking tea, repeating Li Jiao'er's question in her mouth.

"What else can it be for? Isn't it just a thing? She said oddly.

Li Jiao'er wore a half-worn narrow-sleeved brown coat, a cotton apron, and no jewelry, and wondered with great devotion how to produce more wood from the thick and half-man-high sorrel wood in her hand.

After opening the materials and getting a few words of praise from the master, she sat down to rest and said to Qin Le:

"I can't figure it out either, but Senior Sister, there's a reason why he asked me like this."

"It's just a wooden box, what else can you do?" Qin Le scratched his head, "I look at the record on the master's codex, it's just a happy and auspicious thing, put it aside for me, it usually takes up space." ”

In this way, the two girls didn't drink tea or eat, they faced each other with bitter faces, pondered for two days, and didn't come up with the little palm treasure.

The masters who ate couldn't stand it, and vaguely reminded the little proprietor that "every time you learn a craft, you should fish for three days and be lazy in the nets for two days."

The little proprietor was going to send the old proprietor back, but the old proprietor only let her learn the craft well, but the little proprietor didn't eat slowly, so how could she work?

It can be seen that the small proprietor has committed the laziness of the past again and does not want to work.

Li Jiao'er got up with a smile, hurriedly went to lunch, and came back to continue to learn the craft from the master, but she still couldn't let go of Xue Zhen's problems in her heart, and everyone seemed a little worried.

In this way, time slowed and hurried, and it came to a stop and go until June 20.

After Xue Zhenda was announced to the palace that day, he was so busy that he never returned to the house, and only sent the chief back to say that the affairs of the capital were tentative, and he resigned from his temporary position as a city gate guard, and he had to go to the north to guard the border on the first day of the seventh month.

Originally, the lord of Xiaohui heard that someone from the palace had recruited Xue Zhen overnight, so he was worried, but the next day he heard that it was the emperor and queen who had a dispute again, and he was even more panicked for a few days.

Unexpectedly, I didn't see Xue Zhen come back to report safety, and in the end, I only sent a small servant back today, saying that I was leaving again, and the lord of Xiaohui was so angry that he slapped the table, and hatefully asked Changfeng to tell Xue Zhen not to come back.

Li Jiaoer didn't take Xue Zhen's whereabouts seriously, and every day in addition to thinking about what else he could do, he asked the county lord of Xiaohui to go to the Karakutsu Pavilion every day.

The county lord felt that he was at a loss, so he didn't stop her, and often prepared things for her to bring back to Mrs. Zhang and Li Fu.

Li Jiaoer couldn't shirk it, so she had to take them back to Renxintang and collect them, thinking that when she could leave in the future, she would return them to the county lord again.

Only outsiders watched, the emperor and queen argued, the prince said that he was sick, and the princes and princesses closed their doors, but the Hou Shizi of Anyang frequently entered and exited the palace, and Mrs. Hou Shizi of Anyang returned to her parents' house every day.

Quirky, quirky!

The discussion gradually started, and some of the ladies and ladies of the noble family, who were usually good friends with the county lord, often went to the Hou Mansion recently, saying that they were looking at the county lord of filial piety, but they all looked like they came to the door with a gossip heart.

The lord of Xiaohui felt overwhelmed, so he simply went to the mountain temple to accompany the eldest princess to worship the Buddha the day after his son said that he was leaving, leaving only the two housekeepers around him to take care of the affairs of the Hou Mansion temporarily.

Seeing this, Li Jiaoer hurriedly packed her luggage again, took people with her, and stayed back in Renxin Hall.

As a result, there were four masters in the Hou Mansion of Anyang, one was in the Taoist temple, one was in the Buddhist temple, one was busy with government affairs, and one went back to his mother's house, leaving only a group of maids and servants, who were happy to be idle every day.

The days went on like this, and another five days passed.

*

On June 27, the drizzle of the night before moistened the entire capital, and the air was full of green and sober breath, but when the sun rose, the heat wave that broke through the clouds tore the air, steaming the water vapor of the previous night, making people unbearably hot, and the slightest movement was a sweat.

Li Jiaoer didn't like this kind of slimy weather the most, so she asked Zheng Xiaoxi to take her girl Cuiqiao, take her name card, go to Bing to sell ice, and put some in Renxin Hall and Karakutsu Pavilion.

Ice is the place where the official family hides ice, and the ice quality is the best, whether it is to cool off or eat, but it is not sold to ordinary people.

If ordinary people want to buy ice, they can only go to the merchants designated by the ice family to buy some broken ice with leftovers, even if it is such ice, those who can afford it are considered rich.

More people can't afford ice in the middle of summer, and even if they do, they have nowhere to hide.

However, there is a well in the backyard of Renxintang, which can hold the ice.

Li Fu borrowed his daughter's name card to ask Zheng Xiaoxi to buy more, so that he could use some for neighbors and patients in the summer.

"Are you going to Karakuri Pavilion today?" He saw that Li Jiaoer was dressed up and was about to go out, so he persuaded her, "It's a hot day." ”

"Today's stepping bed is going to be made, this is the first time my daughter has made a bed, so I naturally want to go." Li Jiaoer said with a smile.

"Call a car." Li Fu spoke well, no longer blocked, but proposed.

"It's only a few steps away, so why bother?" Li Jiao'er smiled, "Dad, don't worry, when Cui Qiao takes the ice back, let Cui Xi make ice cheese to eat, and then send some to the Karakura Pavilion." ”

"Okay."

The father and daughter talked for a while, and Li Jiaoer went out with Yuntuan.

Under the scorching sun, the master and servant both held fans, and the clouds were intimate, more for Li Jiaoer, complaining: "This is just the beginning of the lurk, it is hot like this, and it is not sure what it will be like on dog days." ”

"But I think it's cooler than last year?" Li Jiaoer chatted with her.

"Last year wasn't so boring."

The master and servant chatted, passed through the nearest alley, and just turned around, they saw the door of the Karakuri Pavilion, and suddenly saw a carriage coming from the east, stopping in front of the door of the Karakuri Pavilion, followed by four maidservants and four servants.

The camphor wooden carriage, the horse pulling the cart is snow-white, and it looks like a white cloud falling from a distance, so beautiful.

Which honorable family was at that time?

The guys in the Karakuri Pavilion also saw that the person was not ordinary, and hurriedly greeted him.

Li Jiaoer hurriedly walked a few steps, and as soon as she walked to the front of the car, the little girl had already set up the stool and lifted the curtain.

A young man came out of the carriage, twenty-four years old, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, a calm complexion, moody and elegant manners, even if he was wearing a straight shirt made of ordinary green silk and a square scarf on his head, he could not hide his bearing.

Li Jiaoer paused in front of the car, and everyone looked stupid.

The person who came was Prince Zhao, the eldest son of Emperor Jianlong and Empress Zhan, and the second son of Emperor Jianlong, Xiao Ning'an.

After Xiao Ningan jumped out of the carriage, he nodded politely at Li Jiao'er, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled:

"Ma'am."

Li Jiaoer came to her senses, and was in a dilemma for a moment whether to salute him and call him His Highness, or to speak as an ordinary guest if she didn't recognize him.

But seeing that although Xiao Ning'an has a style, he looks like this, I think he wants to be treated like an ordinary son, right?

So, Li Jiaoer squatted down at him and said with a smile: "Gongzi An, Gongzi's distinguished guests have come to the door, and the small shop is shining." ”

Xiao Ningan smiled with satisfaction, and did not enter the door immediately, but turned back to the car and said, "Third sister, come down." ”

In the car, another young girl poked her head out, about the same age as Li Jiaoer, with delicate eyebrows and amiable eyes, dressed in flowers, red clothes and red skirts, but when she looked at people, she looked at them from top to bottom, without a smile, showing the arrogance of everyone's women.

However, there was a new scar on the left corner of her forehead, but the woman didn't want to hide it, so she didn't even wear a hat.

Xiao Ning'an's sister third princess, Xiao Feifei.

Li Jiao'er had a headache.

Today, this luxury is too prosperous, and I don't know if it is a blessing or a curse for the Karakuri Pavilion.

But she still saluted the third princess and said politely: "It turned out to be the third girl, and the little girl is polite." ”

Xiao Feifei got out of the carriage, and her maid hurriedly came up and arranged her dress.

Xiao Feifei just stood and looked at Li Jiao'er, her eyes swept over the half-worn aqua-blue Luo clothes on her body and the simple bamboo hairpin on her head, with a sense of contempt.

She smiled and said, "Madame's dress is better than when I saw Madame in the palace in the past." ”

There was a vague mockery in the language, but Li Jiaoer didn't pay attention to these, so naturally she wouldn't be angry, and only said respectfully to the third princess: "The girl has won the award, it's very hot outside, why don't we go in and talk." ”

The guy also heard that the person who came was probably a distinguished guest in the palace, and his expression was more cautious and flattering, and he was also busy letting in.

Xiao Ningan was noncommittal about his sister's attitude, and only walked inward.

Xiao Feifei stopped talking, but as soon as she entered the store, she exaggeratedly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose and frowned.

At first glance, I dislike the smell is not good.

It's just that there are only all kinds of finished furniture and ornaments in the Karakura store, and there is also agarwood, and there is no peculiar smell.

The guy was at a loss and peeked at Li Jiaoer.

Li Jiao'er glanced at him and glanced at Yun Tuan again.

Yun Tuan understood, and immediately retreated with his men first.

And Xiao Ningan still ignored Xiao Feifei's actions, only looked left and right, bowed slightly, didn't like it, but didn't dislike it, and asked Li Jiaoer from time to time, "Who is the source of the thing?" Something like that.

Li Jiaoer answered them one by one.

Xiao Ning'an looked at it for a while, nodded and praised: "The atmosphere of the Imperial Immortal Garden is so pleasant, but the objects in the Karakuri Pavilion are ancient and simple, and the lady also has ingenuity, which is worthy of being a craftsman who has been praised by the ancestors." ”

Xiao Feifei listened to what her brother said, pursed her lips disdainfully, looked around and said, "I don't see anything subtle, how can the eldest brother see that it's good?" ”

As she spoke, she looked at Li Jiao'er again and asked a little provocatively, "You really did that palm treasure?" Not an impostor? ”

"Third sister," Xiao Ningan said, "This place is open in the middle of the market, and the things in front of it are naturally selected by the people, so naturally they must be practical." ”

Xiao Feifei scoffed.

Li Jiao'er was still not angry, and when she saw Yuntuan coming back, she nodded at her, and then pursed her lips and smiled: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has won the award, Your Royal Highness the Princess, the things placed outside our store are simple, why don't you go to the private room in the back to have a look?" As for the treasure in the palm of the hand, it's just a thing, it's nothing. ”

Xiao Feifei didn't move, just looked at her, and asked lightly:

"Thing? Don't you know what the treasure in your hand is for? ”

Li Jiaoer paused.

Why is this problem again?
