There is an urgent errand
The next day, Zhao Sichen ate the breakfast provided by the Great Compassion Temple, and when he walked out of the courtyard, Wei Qianlang was already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.
Wei Qianlang said: "Now the monks in the temple are doing morning classes. I have already said goodbye to the old host in the morning, and the old host has explained that everything is needed, and I will go back and let the monk check with you in detail. ”
Zhao Sichen smiled: "It's good to dare to be kind." When I went back, I also sent the sesame oil money from the Great Compassion Temple. ”
Both of them are busy people on weekdays.
Now that they have finished talking about the Fa, they will go down the mountain together and return to Daqing City in a carriage.
Another half a day passed, and by the time they returned to Daqing City, it was already afternoon.
Wei Qianlang sent Zhao Sichen back to Zhao's house.
There are actually servants from the Three Princes' Mansion waiting in Zhao's house.
The little servant smiled and said, "This morning, someone from the palace came to say that the Holy Lord was summoned. Steward Xing asked us to divide our soldiers into two ways, and one of them went to the Great Compassion Temple.
I was afraid that I would miss it on the way, so Steward Xing said that if you come back, you will definitely come to Zhao's house, so he asked me to wait here. ”
The little guy is not very old, and he speaks very smartly, and he poured out everything that Steward Xing said.
Seeing that it was an urgent call from the saint, Zhao Sichen hurriedly asked Wei Qianlang to go by himself.
There was no one at home at this time.
Yunbi was still busy in the Lili dining house.
Since Zhao Sichen mentioned the matter of the ritual, Yun Bi has been more attentive than ever to run the Lili dining house, in addition to being busy in the restaurant, she also thinks about coming up with a few attractive new dishes every day, for fear that the money she earns will not be able to support the needs of the rhamma.
And Zhao Zhufei sent Guo Anyang and Zhao Yufeng to the school as usual.
Zhao Sichen is alone at home, and it is rare to steal half a day's leisure.
When I had nothing to do, I thought of Wei Qianlang's kung fu improving by leaps and bounds, and suddenly felt that I should know my kung fu back.
Zhao Sichen slowly played a set of punches in the courtyard, and he was active.
She walked in a light and agile way, and as her body slid slowly through the courtyard, slowly, it seemed to merge with the fallen leaves and flying flowers, and it was almost impossible to distinguish her breath.
After more than half an hour of activity, Zhao Sichen gradually withdrew his breath, patted his sleeves, and was quite satisfied with his performance.
Although he was busy earning five buckets of rice every day, he neglected to practice.
Fortunately, I have a good foundation, and I want to practice again, and I can recover soon.
Unlike Wei Qianlang, the foundation is average, and his breath is sometimes good and sometimes bad.
Obviously, when the two of them went up the mountain together yesterday, he walked calmly and vigorously.
When I went to admire the moon at night, I was already physically exhausted, and I was out of breath when I climbed the mountain.
The weather is getting hotter and night is coming later than ever.
Zhao Sichen had just finished punching and had eaten melons and fruits, and the sky was still bright.
Zhao Sichen moved a few more, holding a pu fan and dried meat in one hand, sitting under the osmanthus tree in the center of the courtyard, fanning the wind, looking at the sunset in the distance in a daze.
The sound of horses' hooves could be heard in the alley outside the door.
Zhao Sichen pricked up his ears.
Two horses, galloping.
Something?
Qingzhu trotted to open the door.
Zhao Sichen also got up and walked slowly to the door.
She holds a slice of jerky in one hand and bites slowly, and in the other hand she holds a bag of oil for jerky.
Aunt Zhuo looked at her girl with a smile on the side.
Although Miss Zhao is very capable in business, she is a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl who also loves these snacks.
Zhao Sichen and Qingzhu came to the door, and as soon as they opened the door, they found that-
It turned out that Wei Qianlang and Tian Hongda came galloping on horseback.
Tian Hongda dismounted and knocked on the door.
Wei Qianlang was still on the horse, holding a horsewhip, and did not dismount.
Seeing Zhao Sichen appear at the door, Wei Qianlang didn't care about etiquette, and rode on a horse and said to Zhao Sichen: "The palace has given me an urgent errand, I have to go to the north, and I may not be able to come back in two or three months." ”
Zhao Sichen smiled and said, "Got it." ”
Wei Qianlang looked hurried, but there was worry in his eyes, and he instructed Zhao Sichen: "I am not in Daqing City during this time, if there is any need, I will send someone to find Steward Xing."
If there is anything that Steward Xing can't handle, you can go to the Marquis of Anding's Mansion, and your grandmother will say that she will take care of you......"
Steward Xing is in Daqing City, and he is more or less a character.
There are also things that the housekeeper of the Three Princes' Mansion can't handle, and he has to move out of the Anding Marquis Mansion?
There aren't many marquis in the Wei Kingdom, right?
Zhao Sichen joked: "Then I'll thank you first." I try not to cause trouble during this time. ”
Wei Qianlang wanted to speak and stopped, but in the end he didn't say anything.
just glanced at Zhao Sichen deeply.
Zhao Sichen took the oil bag in his hand and dragged it: "Oh, this is a newly made honey jerky at home, you take it to eat on the road, and you are full." ”
Wei Qianlang bent down slightly from the horse, took the oil bag from Zhao Sichen's hand, sealed the oil bag, and cherished it into his arms.
Zhao Sichen arched his hand and made a gesture for people in the rivers and lakes: "Take care." ”
Wei Qianlang nodded slightly, turned his horse's head and galloped away.
Seeing Wei Qianlang coming and going in a hurry, Zhao Sichen knew that there must be an urgent errand sent down from the palace.
It's just that the errands that Wei Qianlang did were all directly asked by the saint to do them.
It must be an important matter in heaven, and it is difficult to say it to the outside world.
Zhao Sichen just wants to make money and have a comfortable life.
She doesn't like to be involved in palace secrets, and she doesn't want to get involved in disputes.
Zhao Sichen pondered.
Wei Qianlang left Daqing City, she had no good backer during this time, so she had to keep a low profile.
Seeing the sun setting, Zhao Sichen instructed the two maids, Chunhua and Qiuyue, to bring water to the room to bathe her.
Zhao Sichen doesn't like red tape, and he has always done things neatly.
She felt that the large bath bucket was a waste of water, and she had to fill a large bath tub, and she didn't know how many times she had to go back and forth.
So she rinsed her body with a medium-sized wooden barrel.
After washing your hair, you will wear it loose and wipe it with a fine linen cloth.
Chunhua brought the balsam and hair oil, and said, "Miss, this is the balsam and hair oil that Aunt Zhuo just bought, and I will help you wipe your face and hair." ”
"Why did you suddenly buy balsam?" Zhao Sichen took the two small jars in Chunhua's hand.
Chunhua said: "There is nothing at home, Aunt Zhuo said that you are too different from a girl, so she bought it back on her own initiative." ”
Zhao Sichen sniffed the balsam and head oil.
A smell of inferior osmanthus came to the nose.
Zhao Sichen frowned, turned around and asked Chunhua, "Do you think this smells good?" ”
"It smells good!" Chunhua nodded: "This is the most famous osmanthus head oil and balsam in Daqing City, such a small jar will cost one or two silver!" Ordinary girls don't dare to use such expensive hair oil and balm. ”
"A tael of silver? So expensive?! Although Zhao Sichen claims to be a profiteer, he is also staggering.
Sure enough, from ancient times to the present, women's money is easy to earn!
Chunhua said: "This is still brought back by Aunt Zhuo." The rouge, head oil and balsam of the balsam in Daqing City, once they are available, are all snatched up, and it is difficult to buy. ”
Saying that, Chunhua opened the jar, intending to mention Zhao Sichen to touch the oil and rub the balsam.
Zhao Sichen saw that Chunhua was full of interest, and it was difficult to live up to her kindness, so he smiled and said: "No need for oily hair, I like to have dry hair." Wipe your face with a little balsam, and that's enough. ”
As he spoke, Zhao Sichen handed the hair oil in his hand to Chunhua: "I'll reward you, Chunhua and Qiuyue." ”
Chunhua was young, and when she was rewarded, she smiled so much that she couldn't see her teeth, and she said happily: "Thank you for the reward!" ”
Zhao Sichen saw her smiling happily, and also became interested, and said: "I'll be free when I go back, let's make rouge, gouache and hair oil by ourselves, which is much better than buying outside." ”
Chunhua smiled happily and said, "There are good things to follow Miss!" ”
Zhao Sichen was a little proud, teasing the little maid and saying, "That's it, there will be a lot of good things in the future." When you have seen your lady's good things, you will not be rare in balsam. ”
Aunt Zhuo came to Zhao Sichen's door and invited Zhao Sichen to the front hall for dinner.
Chunhua helped Zhao Sichen tie his hair.
By the time Zhao Sichen came to the front hall, everyone was already sitting at the dining table waiting for the meal to start.
It's rare that everyone is here.
Zhao Yufeng respectfully saluted Zhao Sichen: "Eldest sister." ”
Zhao Sichen touched the soft black hair on the top of Zhao Yufeng's head, took his hand, and came to the table to sit down.
Aunt Zhuo put the dishes on the table, and Zhao Sichen asked with a smile, "Sister Yunbi, do you have to go home early for dinner today?" ”
Yun Bi also smiled and said, "I have been trained by a few cooks in the dining house, and I also want to give myself some free time." ”
Zhao Sichen smiled: "Where are you free, but you can go home for dinner today, just treat yourself as free?" ””
Sitting on the top seat, Guo Anyang whispered: "Eat without words." ”
Zhao Sichen quietly stuck out his tongue and snorted secretly in his heart unconvinced.
Turning his head, he saw Zhao Yufeng staring at her with black round eyes.
Zhao Sichen smiled playfully at Zhao Yufeng, squeezed his nose, and made a pig's nose gesture.
Zhao Yufeng also wanted to laugh, but he saw the serious Guo Anyang out of the corner of his eye, and reluctantly withdrew the smile on his face, leaving only a serious appearance with his eyes squinted, looking awkward, it was really ridiculous.
Zhao Sichen approached Zhao Yufeng and whispered in Zhao Yufeng's ear: "You have also become an old-fashioned little old man?" ”
Before Zhao Yufeng could answer, Guo Anyang coughed vigorously and handed Zhao Sichen a warning look.
Zhao Sichen pouted, sat up straight, and began to eat.
Since Guo Anyang took Zhao Yufeng to the study school of Dahanlin's house every day, he has become more and more upright and old-fashioned.
There was silence at the dinner table, only whether Zhao Sichen poked the porcelain bowl with chopsticks, or put the spoon on the side, making a small collision sound from time to time.
They had been out of pampering for several years, and now that they had settled in a stable environment, they had picked up the old habit of not eating and sleeping without saying a word.
gestures, unintentionally revealing elegant dining etiquette.
However, years of fleeing have also brought some changes to everyone.
For example, the speed of eating has become faster, for example, Zhao Zhufei is used to sitting by the door and being vigilant.
The meal was quickly finished, Zhuo himself cleaned up the table, and Chunhua and Qiuyue handed over tea.
Qingzhu accompanied the little prince to the room to wash.
The rest of the people sat down in the antechamber and each held a cup of tea.
Zhao Sichen knew what everyone cared about, so he didn't delay at the moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then began to talk about the scene of the Great Compassion Temple.
