Chapter 109: Grass and Trees Deep (3)
When I returned home, I sent someone to send the wild vegetables picked by a few people to the big kitchen, and sent the flowers bought outside to each room, or I went to the Gantang courtyard to meet Mrs. Yu before going to their respective yards.
On the way back, Yu Yao specially held Shu Yao's hand, looked affectionate, and said:
"I heard that last time you made magnolia cake, it was different from what was sold outside, would you make anything else? What about rose cakes? Can you do it? ”
Shu Yao smiled:
"You can make it roughly, and the roses may be brighter!"
Yu Yao smiled and called Hong Xing, Shu Yao didn't expect that Hong Xing was holding a basket in her hand, and when she lifted the blue cloth on the basket, it was full of baskets of rose petals, and she had already planned it.
Yu Yao pointed to the basket and said:
"Are these enough to make two cages out? Anyway, let me have an ingenuity to please the old lady and the lady. ”
Shu Yao knew that it was difficult for her to live in the mansion as a concubine, and said with a smile:
"That's enough! When are you going to do it? But you want me to go up to your court? ”
Yu Yao shook her head, her face darkened, she glanced at Yu Wen, who was far behind them, and said:
"Do it now! Jade is most disgusted with my good behavior...... Let's go up to you, you teach me, and I can learn a craft. ”
Shu Yao didn't care and nodded. The two stood and waited for Yu Wen to approach, and Yu Yao smiled and said to her:
"I'm going to follow Miss Li Er to see my sister-in-law, are you going?"
Yuwen has never been interested in these visits, with a little disdain on her face, and said:
"I won't go, you can go, the people in the province are making a lot of trouble with the sister-in-law."
Yu Yao nodded, watched her walk away, and then took Shu Yao in the direction of Yulan Courtyard.
The two chatted about various pastries, but Shu Yao always felt that Yu Yao was suddenly a little absent-minded, and sometimes she couldn't answer her words. Just as she was surprised, Yu Yao suddenly touched her wrist and said in shock:
"Oops! I've lost my jade bracelet! ”
Everyone looked at her wrist, and sure enough, there was nothing on her wrist. Yu Yao panicked, pulled Shu Yao and said:
"Sister, help me, borrow the two of you and me to go back and find it. I was still there when I got out of the carriage, and I must have been thrown into some corner of the house! ”
Shu Yao looked at Mother Liu and Chun Tao who were following her, and then looked at the rockery in front of the bamboo forest, seeing Yu Yao's anxious and embarrassed appearance, thinking that the jade bracelet was too precious for her, so she would be so anxious, so she said:
"That's it, let's help find it!"
Yu Yao said:
"How can I even trouble you." As he spoke, he took the basket in Hongxing's hand, and continued:
"This petal is also for you, you wait here, a few of us will look for it carefully along the way, and come back here to find you." After saying that, he hurriedly turned around and left.
Liu's mother was a little embarrassed, according to Shu Ya's explanation, she and Chun Tao had to stay by Shu Yao's side all the time, but the four young ladies made it clear that they wanted to go over to help. Thinking about it again, I saw Shen Junzhuo on the edge of the Yinyue River just now, but I thought that he was still outside and couldn't come back, so he relaxed.
Shu Yao didn't care, this place was not far from Yulan Courtyard, and she was fine when she walked back by herself, so she waved her hand at Mother Liu and Chun Tao, and motioned for them to come over to help.
Mother Liu and Chun Tao responded, and chased after Yu Yao and a few others to check carefully on the road and grass they had just walked.
It was not too late, the bamboo in the bamboo forest had new leaves, tender green and tender green, and thin bamboo shoots emerged on the ground, some were tall and some were short, and the size was different. Shu Yao walked over to see how many bamboo shoots there were.
As she was counting, suddenly a voice came from behind her:
"Shu Yao!"
