Chapter Eighty-Seven: Reading the Letter
Huilan sent Wang's mother away, and she didn't rush to read the letter, but just put it in the drawer of the dressing table. She still has business to do, and she won't run away when the letter is left.
She changed her clothes and instructed Mother Lin to send a plate of fruits to each of the masters of the house to taste. She took Narcissus to see her aunt and greet the old lady, and went to deliver the fruit herself. Before leaving, she specially told her to pick two peaches, peeled and diced them, and poured cold cheese on them until she came back to eat. With such a distribution, there were no peaches left in a small basket, and Huilan generously let the maids share them.
My aunt rested for a few days, and her complexion was much better, but she was still lazy and always wanted to lie down. Hui Lan said that she understood, this is a workaholic who finished his high-intensity work, relaxed and then collapsed, which is estimated to be a good time to slow down. Anyway, Huilan is not in a hurry, of course, it is her aunt's body that is the most important, and everything else is a floating cloud.
The two of them gossiped, which was also to let Mrs. Li go to bed a little later, so as not to sleep too much and the quality of sleep declined. Hui Lan asked her about the amount of food she ate, which she had to ask for two meals a day (she had a bad appetite during her illness and was reduced to one meal in order to reduce the toss). Even if she was laughed at by her aunt and became a little housekeeper, she didn't change it, and the illness came from the mouth, and the things in the entrance must be careful.
He also talked about Wang's mother coming to see her, and gave the washed peaches to her aunt to offer treasure, and the aunt who coaxed her laughed before she stopped. According to Mrs. Li's physical condition, she will definitely not be able to eat fruit at this hour, so this is for the second master. Sure enough, Mrs. Li asked to send the peaches to the study to the second master who had just gotten off work.
There was time for a cup of tea, and it was already dark. The second old man came in to see his wife, and Hui Lan said a few words with her and then retired, she didn't want to be a light bulb to disturb other couples.
As soon as the wedding was over, my aunt fell ill, and my uncle moved to the study next door. Although the doctor diagnosed it as overwork and hot weather, there were no major symptoms, but it was necessary to take medicine to recuperate. This is not the 21st century, when the daughter-in-law is tired and sick, and the husband has to serve tea and water at the bedside. There are a bunch of maids and wives at home, where can I use the old man on an errand. Even if he really wanted to take care of it, he still had to go to work. And he himself looked a little haggard and weak, one of them was already lying down, and he couldn't let the other fall down as well.
Therefore, it is necessary and necessary to live separately so that both people can rest well. The two are mature and rational family members, of course, they will implement it immediately. But every day, the second master would come over to see his wife after dinner and before going to bed, and the two would talk together.
So in the past few days, Huilan has come and left at about the same time, and the aunt of the province fell asleep before the uncle came, which not only affected her sleep but also delayed the contact relationship. She is such an enthusiastic and smart cutie, she brushes off her clothes and hides her merit and fame!
Regardless of whether the two elders understand Huilan's painstaking efforts, she still has a sense of accomplishment.
When she arrived at Fushouju, the old lady looked a little haggard but in good spirits. This is the first time that the younger generation has come to say hello after the wedding, and I believe that the old lady has eased up. Of course, they ran into Erlang and the four ladies, and everyone had to get together to talk. After a while, they all dispersed, and the old lady still had to rest.
It was already completely dark, and the maid carried the lantern in front, and the three sisters talked all the way back to the courtyard. I didn't say anything, I said goodbye and went back to the house. With the infinite vitality of the four ladies, they didn't convene everyone to laugh and gather again, which shows the intensity of every day. Go to bed early and get up early, and you have to continue to work and study tomorrow, hard little ladies!
When she returned to the house, Huilan ate the fruit that had been prepared and was not too icy, and she was instantly refreshed. Sure enough, in summer, you have to eat something cold, cool, sweet and sour, appetizing and refreshing.
Satisfied, Huilan took a comfortable bath, feeling that the heat of the day was gone. I changed my bed clothes and sat in front of the dressing table and applied some facial grease. Let Liu Ya and Narcissus change the handkerchief to wipe her hair, and Hui Lan sat and read the letter.
There are two glass lamps on the dressing table, which illuminate the surrounding area of Huilan. The small envelope was a bit thick, and sure enough, when it was opened, there were two copies of stationery of different colors. The family sent her letters six times a month, and she could see the lowest-grade hemp paper that she was familiar with. Putting down the thicker letter from home, Hui Lan took the paper that was obviously a foreign object and opened it to look at it.
Sure enough, it was sent by that Senior Brother Xiao, and there was already a guess, but after looking at the paper produced in Shudi, it was basically fine.
There are only a few words on the paper, expressing a central meaning. Apologize again, and offer a meager apology, I hope you don't dislike it.
Hui Lan looked at the letter and remembered the oolong incident again, and couldn't help crying and laughing. This is an honest and honest man, and he took the blame for a raccoon slave who was not raised by himself. But he made it clear that he couldn't afford the carriage because he was shy in his pocket, and he could only afford his clothes. Hui Lan really cares if he loses or not, just to gamble. And in her consciousness, either you are magnificent, and you will lose everything, or you will be single to the end and lose nothing. As a result, this benevolent brother was good, and he really lost her a piece of fabric. Huilan laughed at herself: In terms of quantity, it is not small, enough to make two clothes.
I really can't understand this guy's brain circuit, let's say that his mother is stupid, and he also knows not to slap a swollen face and become fat; Let's say that he is cunning to evade responsibility, and he also knows that double apologies are really ...... Huilan smiled and shook her head, not knowing how to describe it.
Liu Ya smiled when she saw her reading the letter, and said curiously, "The girl has seen something interesting, and she will tell us about it." ”
Narcissus kept moving, but also with curiosity.
Hui Lan smiled and folded the letter paper and threw it on the dressing table, "It's quite rare to see a person who looks like a fool and a gentleman." Bud, bring me the piece of fabric on the table. ”
The two girls laughed when they heard it, and Liu Ya obeyed the order to get something, "Could it be that this fabric was given by the person the girl said?" ”
Hui Lan nodded while uncovering the hemp paper, "Yes, but it's not a gift, it's a loss." ”
As soon as it was opened, not only Huilan, but also the two girls were speechless, and the smoked yellow commonly used by mothers at home.
"Which one is this stunned, send this color to the girl, or the second-class Hangzhou silk." Liu Ya said dissatisfied.
Huilan was stunned, and Narcissus stopped her movements and screamed with concern.
"Poof" Hui Lan reacted and burst into laughter. This color and this quality, that stupid boy must have given her the fabric that his mother made for clothes, right?
After laughing, Hui Lan was a little uncomfortable. Strictly speaking, this color can also be worn by Xiao Langjun, and it can also be made into an inner skirt or something. According to the degree of use of ordinary people, this fabric is not bad, and it is still very comfortable to wear close to bed. No, this joke is too big, that stupid boy won't be beaten up by his family.
Huilan herself is not short of food, clothing, or money, nor does she think about slandering people. According to the stupid boy's words, the family is not rich, so she doesn't care at all. But judging by his actions, this is 90% true. It's a little embarrassing in this way, for the sake of a wild cat, it is indeed a bit of a hole for the people who hurt their money.
No, Hui Lan decided to pay attention. She doesn't have time to go out, so I'll send a letter tomorrow to ask. Since he sent his things to the house over there, it proves that he is still learning painting from Mr. He, and Mr. He can't run away, so he will find out when he asks tomorrow.
Having made up her mind, Huilan took her heart and picked up the letter to read it.
When the two girls saw that she was concentrating on reading the letter, they did not disturb her, and were busy curling her hair and then giving her a comb.
Uncle Li's letter was written on two pages, mostly about recent news in Beijing. However, there is a big wedding of the prince poking there, and there are a lot less things to make trouble and jokes, and the only thing Hui Lan cares about is that the future princess's family has been moving a lot recently, and it seems that the wedding date is approaching.
Closing the letter gently, Hui Lan thought thoughtfully.
It is said that this emperor is also quite a god, and it was rumored that he loved the big prince, the third prince, the sixth prince, and the prince. But the prince has been the prince for more than ten years, and he also married the eldest daughter of the noble minister Zhen Guogong as the crown princess.
Don't talk about the stupid words that Zhenguo Gong is injured, Zhenguo Gongfu is no longer good. Even if the Zhenguo Gong is martyred, the Zhenguo Mansion will still stand. There are generations of loyal achievements, the emperor's trust, connections, military influence, and title inheritance, and he is still the first noble family who is as stable as a rock.
married the daughter of the prince of Zhenguo, and the crown prince's power rose sharply, and his status was as stable as a rock. The future mother of the country comes from the family of the nobles, and the nobles will never hold the royal family back. Looking at it this way, the emperor is paving the way for the prince, and the prince is stable.
But Hui Lan was a little suspicious of the emperor, did she really love her son so much and handed over the power collection of Xungui to the prince without hesitation? Just rest assured that the son will not play the emperor's suspicion at all?
Hui Lan shook her head, the psychology of the superior is really not understood by us mortals. Even if she doesn't understand, Huilan doesn't embarrass herself. When my hair is smooth and dry, I yawn and go to bed.
It is enough to care about current affairs, eat melons, and occasionally fish in troubled waters. As for the change of royal power, the matter of the royal family competing for power is not within her ability, and it is beyond the norm. It's okay to diverge your thinking once in a while and review your knowledge.
Sleep, sleep, Ming'er still has a lot of things. Hui Lan didn't even need to hypnotize herself, she almost fell asleep. Therefore, it is still good to be busy, and the quality of sleep is good.
