Chapter 21: Silver Lilacs

Qingying drank the bowl of porridge brought by Xia He.

Minced chicken and ginger were added to the porridge, Qingying began to sweat after a few sips, and when she finished drinking, a wave of heat washed away the internal organs that seemed to have been dead for a long time, and after a while, she fainted and fell asleep again.

Xia He lightly packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out, and saw a little maid boiling medicine under the porch again, she thought about it and walked over, took a small purse from her waist and handed it over:

"Do you want to eat caramel candy? The two pieces of this are divided into one for you. ”

After a pause, Xia He added: "The purse is also for you." ”

The little maid has been in the Zhuangzi since she landed, and she has never seen much of the world, and she reluctantly glanced at the exquisite embroidery purse, but still didn't dare to stretch out her hand:

"Aunt Xia, if I take your things, I won't have an errand."

If it was usual, Xia He would have to roll her eyes and curse when she heard this, but now she was a little embarrassed to collect the purse, pinched her throat and said:

"Miss Ah Chi is really good at managing people."

Xia He could swear to God that she meant nothing else, but it sounded weird, as if she was scolding.

Taking out the caramel and placing it next to the bowl containing the medicine, Xia He walked away disgracedly.

Along the sandwich road all the way back to the innermost courtyard, several other concubines of Xie Feng'an in the courtyard were still taking the maids to make clothes, and when they saw Xia He coming in, Liu Tianxing ran over happily:

"Xia He, how is the green warbler?"

Xia He didn't want to say more, so he only walked to An Niannian's side: "An ...... Sister An, can we say a few words in private? ”

An Niannian, who was cutting cloth, put down the blackened willow branch in his hand, wiped his hands, and said, "Come into the house with me." ”

Xia He came to borrow clothes for Qingying and An Niannian, her own clothes Qingying definitely refused to wear, Xia He thought about it and could only borrow it from An Niannian.

"I didn't take your clothes for nothing, I have a fine silk, and I will bring it to you in the night."

Xia He stumbled over this kind of thing of bowing his head to others, and his tongue was not good.

An Nian didn't answer the question, and looked at this woman who had always been arrogant and vain with a pair of black and white eyes.

When she was in Ning'an Bo's Mansion, the young lady didn't care about anything, and the food and clothing for them were all the same, although Liu Tianxing's father was valued by her uncle, she was too honest, An Nian's own grandparents were the old lady's house, and she had no status in the mansion, only Xia He always pinched the tip and was strong because she was the son of the Xie family, and forced the two of them to fight with Su Yao'er, who was born in Qinhuai.

Later, Cui Jinniang entered the house, always pleading Xia Heqiang to come out, Xia He was afraid that An Nian gave birth to Xie Feng'an's eldest son and eldest daughter, and she and Liu Tianxing became more and more distant, just as they were a burden who couldn't support the wall.

After waiting for a few breaths and not speaking every year, Xia He became more and more empty:

"If you don't like fine silk, I still have a pair of uppers, embroidered with hibiscus flowers......"

There was a knock on the cabinet door, and Xia He had an extra burden in front of him.

An Niannian sighed above her head, and said slowly: "This is what I cleaned up last night, you put it on Qingying, most of it is new, I heard that she is more than red, there are a few menstrual belts I made last night, the soft shoes in it are sweet apricots, she hasn't worn them yet, I heard that I want to find clothes for Qingying, she sent them over excitedly." ”

Xia He couldn't say a word, and only saluted An Niannian with his burden.

An Niannian hurriedly avoided it, and glanced over Xia He's bare earlobes.

He returned to his room with his baggage, and as soon as he entered the door, Xia He frowned.

"Cui Jinniang, what are you doing in my room?"

Cui Jinniang glanced at the courtyard outside the house through the window, she took advantage of Ah Chi's absence to find Xia He.

"Xia He, you also heard the movement in the front yard the night before yesterday, right? I suspected that the second master came to look for us, but was stopped by the young lady. ”

Hearing the words "second master", Xia He was stunned, and said lightly:

"On one side is Su Yao'er and on the other is Miss Feng, how can there be a place for us to settle down in the eyes of the second master, we have all been driven to Zhuangzi, why don't you give up?"

Hearing Xia He say this, Cui Jinniang laughed secretly in her heart, this Xia He looks amazing, but she is the best among these women, because she is neither as dull and boring as Shen Shiqing, nor as timid and wooden as An Niannian, and not as happy as Liu Tianxing when she stutters, she is smart, but she is infatuated, she is a slave, and she is unwilling to be cheap.

In short, Xia He wants everything, and Cui Jinniang can fiddle with her in a different way.

"Dead heart, Xia He, are you willing? Su Yao'er is such a woman from a Qinglou, and she has only one daughter under her knees, so she can occupy the second master's heart......"

Xia He lowered her head slightly, she was naturally unwilling in the past, because she had affection for the second master.

She was selected to be a sprinkler in the lady's yard at the age of six, and all she saw and thought in her eyes was the second master who was three years and four months older than her, the second master wore a brocade robe and a jade crown with a jewel pendant hanging from his waist, and looked a hundred times more energetic than the little maid in the yard.

But what about the second master, the day she was sent out of the house, the second master didn't even look at her, and the Song mother-in-law who took her out was the in-laws of the second grandfather's nurse Liu Mama, and she was accompanied by a smiling face when she saw her on weekdays, but that day she was fierce and vicious, and she took away the box where she hid money from her hands.

She Xia He doesn't ask the second master to treat her with a whole heart, she is an aunt from a maid, she is not worthy, but she only wants that little bit, she only wants that little bit when she loses her conscience and does all the bad things! Was she wrong?

"Cui Jinniang, what do you want to do, just say it."

Cui Jinniang helped down her sideburns and said with a smile: "Xia He, you can enter and exit our courtyard, why don't you find a chance to look ahead......"

Until Cui Jinniang left, Xia He wrung her eyebrows and didn't speak, and when she was the only one left in the room, she raised her hand and touched her earlobe, opened the cabinet and took out the clothes she made for the second young master, took a look, and stuffed the clothes into the deepest part of the cabinet.

When he went out of the yard with the things he had packed for Qingying, Xia He happened to meet Ah Chi.

"Xia Niangzi, please stay a step."

Ah Chi stopped her.

"Since Qingying was rescued by our girl, she will naturally be taken care of wholeheartedly. A few pieces of caramel and a chicken leg, we can still afford it in Zhuangzi, and we don't need Xia Niangzi to break the bank. ”

As he spoke, Ah Chi took out a purse from his waist and poured out a pair of silver cloves inlaid with gold beads from it.

————

The silver cloves found out of the kitchen were sent to Xia He, and Ah Chi turned back to the main courtyard, almost scared to death when he looked up.

"Girl! You're having your menstrual period! How can you move stones? ”

More than 20 catties of stones made Zhao Surui grit his teeth, avoiding Ah Chi's help, he moved all the way, and finally moved the stone to a corner of the back road.

The soreness in his waist made him almost kneel on the ground, Zhao Surui barely stood with his legs, panting and said: "Since you are determined to practice your strength, you have to do it immediately, you also say that this month will always come four or five days a month, do I have to rest for four or five days this time, and I will rest for four or five days next time?" ”

When will Shen Sanru's dilapidated body allow him to hunt on horseback?

Ah Chi was speechless for a while, and could only watch as his girl gasped for breath and then turned back to move stones.

Zhao Surui is wearing a pair of leather gloves on his hands, and he is wearing a black sticker worn by a man, and there is an ivory-colored placket armor on the outside, which is also the men's clothes that Achi drove out for him, and the clothes are good, Zhao Surui really can't comb his hair, and he still has a woman's style on his head, still wearing a hairpin, which looks really nondescript.

Seeing that his girl was tired and sweating, Ah Chi sighed and took the cloak out of the house, and immediately put it on the girl when she finished practicing.

More than 20 stones, more than 20 catties of large ones, more than 10 catties of small ones, moved out of the yard from the corner of the yard to about 20 zhang away from the road, more than a dozen back and forth Zhao Surui was already dizzy, and his arms were trembling, but he still gritted his teeth and finished moving the stones.

Ah Chi was anxious to give him the leather cloak, but he pushed it away.

"It's not over yet!"

Pulling open the posture and stretching the muscles and bones in the basic form of a long fist, after the whole set was done, Zhao Surui almost collapsed.

Ah Chi Lian helped him to take him back to rest, Zhao Surui gasped and said, "Don't sit...... Walk, walk for a moment. ”

"Girl, why are you tossing yourself so much?" Wrapping his own girl in a cloak, Ah Chi almost cried.

"Toss? People and people live for a day, and they have to toss for a day, otherwise why not lie in that three-foot pit early? ”

After speaking, Zhao Surui stood up straight with a smile.

If he stopped just because he was now in Shen Sanru's body, it would be just another Shen Sanru.

After walking a few steps and pinching his arm, he was still a little surprised: "This arm is better than I thought, it won't be sour for a while, and you can add a bow in a few days." ”

After walking a few more steps, Zhao Surui turned his head to look at Ah Chi who was standing in place.

The girl in the cyan armor had tears all over her face, startling Emperor Zhaode, who was wise and martial arts with a sore back.

"What are you crying about?"

Ah Chi opened his mouth, and his cry finally couldn't be hidden: "Girl! The slave hasn't seen a girl like this in years! Woooooooooooooooo Girl, the slave will accompany you to practice, and when we are ready, we will go to Saibei to ride a horse! We still have to go to Jiangnan and Quanzhou...... Woooooooooooooooo ”

Zhao Surui was upset by this little girl's crying, but he didn't even have the strength to roar, so he could only stiffen his face and say, "Don't cry!" ”

"Woooooo

Glancing at the sky shrouded in the sunset, he had no love on his face, and could only say:

"Okay, okay, I know, your girl will take you to ride a horse, what Saibei, what Jiangnan, what Quanzhou, all go, all go, right?"

"Hmm!" Seeing his own girl coaxing herself helplessly, Ah Chi finally burst into tears and laughed.

"If you've cried enough, go tell Tu Nan to get some sturdy food in the evening."

Moving stones was hungry quickly, and Zhao Surui felt that most of the elbows he had eaten at noon had been digested.

"I'm going to eat fried meat!"

"Let's eat something light at night, take the shrimp from the meat to make shrimp puree, roll it up with blanched cabbage leaves after adjusting the taste, fry it slightly in fried oil with shrimp skin and star anise, and steam it in a pot."

The glow reflected in the hall, and Shen Shiqing, who was still correcting the folds, casually explained a recipe.

The three cats hurriedly wrote it down and glanced at the chicken again.

Ichiji shook his head slightly.

"If you have something to say, you don't have to play dumb riddles in front of me."

Shen Shiqing put down the pen in his hand and put the fold in his hand on the corner of the table: "This fold is sent to the household department, and ask them if a household department is not even counting the accounts correctly, why do they say that this year's harvest is good, and at the same time let these vassal kings cry to me." ”

"Yes!" Ergou picked up the fold with both hands and retreated.

The three cats smiled carefully and said, "Emperor, the slave maid has no other meaning, that is, it is the harem...... It was the Queen Mother who sent someone to ask, should you be lucky? Forget about others, you haven't been there for more than 20 days. ”
