Chapter Forty-Nine: Giving Palace Clothes
Aunt Yu nodded lightly at You's family, thanking her. You Shi didn't care about Aunt Yu's indifference, there was another thing she cared about in her heart.
Juxiang pulled Yuan Xi to hurry over, and Ling'er jumped up and down to follow behind, she was full of energy.
The old lady looked Yuan Xi up and down: "Okay, your face has really improved these days." This raiser also has to look at vegetables and fruits, and the big fish and meat can't raise such a good look. ”
Yuan Xi has obviously been a lot slimmer these days, although he was not fat before, but now it seems that he feels a little weak. The old lady was very happy, but Won-hee didn't like herself very much, the last bit of flesh on his face was gone, and he looked skinny.
"This is the clothes prepared for you to enter the palace, although it is to see those adults in the inner palace, not to see the prince, but you can't be careful. The old lady handed over her clothes to Ling'er: "Go to the back hall to change your master's clothes." ”
Yuan Xi glanced at it, the purple clothes were embroidered with silver thread patterns, all of which were made of dark silk fabrics, and the cuffs and necklines were covered with white fox hair. Do you need to go to such great lengths to see a few officials in the inner government? When I saw the prince, it wasn't a set of homely clothes? Yuan Xi smiled secretly in his heart, if the cold-faced prince knew, he would definitely feel that he would treat him as well as a few minor officials in the inner government, wouldn't he have crooked his nose?
"Grandmother, it's okay if you want me to try on clothes, but I have one condition. Yuan Xi looked at the various snacks on the old lady's table, and he couldn't open his legs. For five days, I ate all kinds of boiled vegetables, and each time there were only a few small slices, which was pitiful.
"This kid, what more conditions do you need to try on clothes?" Aunt You was anxious, and she was still smiling haha.
"I'm hungry and don't have the strength to try on clothes. Yuan Xi hugged the old lady's arm, pointed to a plate of begonia crisp on the table and said coquettishly: "Grandmother, I'll just take a bite, that's it." ”
Everyone smiled, and the old lady also narrowed her eyes: "Begonia crispy, is our Xi'er's favorite food?"
Yuan Xi nodded expectantly: "Just one bite." ”
Wei Dongshu closed his eyes: "Make an exception and eat a piece." ”
Begonia crisp, at first glance, it is just out of the pot. There is a layer of pink puff pastry on the outside, soft red bean paste on the inside, and a chopstick rose sauce in the center of the flower. If you take a bite, it is sweet but not greasy, and it melts in your mouth. Yuan Xi looked at a plate of evenly sized dim sum, why didn't there be a particularly large one?
It's easy to pick, and as soon as Yuan Xi stretched out his hand, he was startled by a loud shout behind him. The porter ran in three steps and two steps: "Old lady, old lady, big thing, the general came again last time." ”
"Put it down. The old lady grabbed Yuan Xi's hand, and the begonia crisp was only a stone's throw away, and there was a moment of delay, and the sky was separated.
Yuan Xi swallowed his saliva and was pulled by the old lady to kneel in front of Qin Shun. Yuan Xi secretly glared at Qin Shun, if he didn't come to play early, he came at this time, what kind of warrant is not warranted, even if it is a big deal, is it too big to be a begonia cake?
"Duan Wangye's warrant is here, and he specially gives the people's maid Wei Yuanxi a set of palace clothes and a pair of brocade boots for errands. ”
As soon as Yuan Xi stretched out her hand, Qin Shun put a mahogany tray in her hand, a yellow scarf covered with a set of dresses, and a dark green cloak. The old lady reached out and took the tray, which contained a pair of pea-green embroidered boots.
"The folk girl brought the whole family and thanked the prince for the reward. ”
Qin Shun looked at Yuan Xi with a smile: "The prince is worried that someone is plotting against him, and he intends to prevent the third lady from running an errand for the prince." Duan Wang Ye advised this person to do it himself, if he broke ground on Tai Sui's head, Guan Bao told her that life was better than death. ”
Qin Shun stretched out his hand to the wardrobe and took out a red cloth package, which contained a fifty taels of silver tickets and two red gold bracelets.
Ben will take his leave. ”
You Shi's body trembled like chaff, and he couldn't stop it, Yuan Jia lowered his head on the side, and held his mother tightly.
The old lady took the bracelet and the silver ticket in wonder: "What does Duan Wang Ye mean by this?"
Yuan Xi sighed in his heart, and King Duanjun sent clothes and boots, which means that the clothes he prepared were tampered with. The bracelet and the silver ticket are the evidence of the crime of entrusting the boss to do something.
Tomorrow is the day of delivery to the inner house, and it will be a waste of time to make a fuss today, in case the man and dog jump over the wall in a hurry, it will not end well. Yuan Xi said with a smile: "Lord Duan is really careful, and even the bracelet for entering the palace has been prepared for us." Eighty percent is the rules of the palace, we don't understand it. ”
The old lady was still uneasy, Yuan Xi's expression was clearly deliberately comforting herself, and she held Yuan Xi's hand tightly: "Xi'er, isn't it from our house......
"Oh, grandmother, where do you think of it, how can you ask about our family's affairs? The prince also said, let us rest assured that we can do errands, and everything is supported by the prince and his old man. Yuan Xi smiled and helped the old lady into the room, and glanced at Aunt You.
Aunt You panicked and almost tripped on the threshold.
The old lady still didn't believe it, and asked Wei Dongshu again: "Is this what the prince meant?"
Wei Dongshu also soothed: "Yes, mother, that's what the prince and his old man mean." ”
"It's that I'm old and confused, and it's hard to understand the deep meaning of the prince and his old man. The old lady sat on the couch: "The clothes that the prince rewarded, you still have to bathe and burn incense before trying them on, Xi'er, you go first, come back quickly and try on clothes." ”
The clothes sent by Xiao Rongzhan were surprisingly fitting, and even the boots were just right. The old lady was amazed, and had been worried about whether the boots would be big or small.
Aunt Yu said with a smile: "Lord Wang, his old man is really powerful, and even the size of his boots is just right." ”
Yuan Xi felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and a burst of panic, and the heartwarming thing was that Xiao Rongzhan had arranged everything so properly. The panic is that he understands himself so thoroughly, he and he are only a few sides of the relationship, he even knows his shoe size, how strong is this person's mind?
"In the end, it is something that the prince appreciates, and it really compares the rich and noble. Aunt You smiled and twisted Yuan Jia, Yuan Jia stepped forward and said: "Grandmother, my granddaughter thinks that the clothes of the rich house are also very good-looking, anyway, the third sister has the clothes rewarded by the prince, and the rich and noble house don't need to wear it, can you give this set of rewards to the granddaughter?"
Are you in such a hurry to destroy the evidence of the crime? Wonxi still looked at himself in the mirror with a smile and didn't look back.
Since this dress is custom-made for Yuan Xi, the size is just right for Yuan Xi, Yuan Jia is taller than Yuan Xi, and it is naturally inappropriate to wear Yuan Xi's clothes. When the old lady saw that she was coquettish, she said: "Your third sister's clothes are smaller, I'm afraid you won't be able to wear them, and when you go back, your grandmother asked the tailor of Fuguiju to measure your size and make two sets for you, okay?"
You Shi secretly said to himself, Yuan Jia shook his head: "Grandmother, don't bother, I am not much different from the third sister, I asked Mother Zhao to change it a little to wear it, there is no need to do it again, and Jia'er doesn't want her grandmother to break the bank." ”
Yuan Xi smiled: "Grandmother, since the eldest sister wants it, give it to the eldest sister, anyway, Xi'er already has a set." ”
"Give your stuff if you want it. The old lady didn't say anything, and took care of the golden thread water green palace around Yuanxi's waist.
Yuan Jia breathed a sigh of relief and took away his clothes with great gratitude.
Wei Dongshu frowned and did not speak.
In the evening, Mama Jiao Xi finally let go of Yuan Xi, and before Yuan Xi fell asleep after bathing, there was a knock on the door.
"Xi'er, have you slept, Dad has something to ask you. ”
Yuan Xi put on his clothes and opened the door, but Wei Dongshu was full of sadness.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? Come in. ”
Wei Dongshu sat at the table and took a cup of tea poured by Ling'er. Seeing that Yuanxi was still fiddling with the two red gold bracelets, he said, "This bracelet was given to the treasurer by your Aunt You, right?"
Yuan Xi was taken aback and shook his head pretendedly: "Isn't this the prince's reward for us?"
"Don't pretend, Dad knows, you can see it. In the afternoon, my father asked someone to go to Fuguiju, but the door of the store was closed, and I heard from the neighbors that the shopkeeper of their house was arrested by a soldier of the prince's house, it should be the prince Duan, right?" Wei Dongshu took a bracelet, and the bracelet shone brightly under the lamp.
"What Duan Wang Ye said is very clear, someone in our family is preventing you from running an errand for the prince, and as soon as I saw your sister asking for that set of clothes, I understood everything. Wei Dongshu held Yuan Xi's hand: "But dad can't say it." Xi'er, can you understand Dad? If Dad says it, your grandmother will never spare your sister and your Aunt You, and even your second brother will be kicked out of the house. Dad really didn't want to see that happen. ”
"Dad, why did you suddenly say this today?"
Wei Dongshu said that the injury, said that Yuan Xi's nose was sour.
"When your mother died, my father didn't even see him for the last time. At that time, Dad hugged you, and for the first time I knew what heartache was. Wife and concubines, children, dad really doesn't want to lose any of them. ”
Yuan Xi lowered his eyelids: "Dad, didn't I say anything today? ”
"Now, when you grow up, you can also take charge of yourself and do errands for the prince. Your mind is lively, hundreds of times stronger than your father, as long as you have a good experience, your father's industry will be yours in the future. Wei Dongshu wiped away a handful of old tears: "Xi'er, Dad knows that you are a hard-working child, and you are easy to get angry in this family." Dad will put everything in the Wei family into your hands in the future, and at the moment, you should take this little bit of anger as a way to hone your mind. ”
Yuan Xi wrapped the bracelet and handed it to Wei Dongshu: "Dad, you can keep this thing." My daughter will forget about today's events, if nothing else, just to reassure you. ”
Wei Dongshu trembled and took the bracelet into his arms: "Xi'er, just rush at your magnanimity, my father will not treat you badly in the future." ”
"Dad, you should go to bed early, tomorrow my daughter will go to the inner house to deliver the goods." Yuan Xi helped his father up, but he felt that his father was really a little old, unlike when he was a child, his father's sideburns were dark, and now, he has also grown a lot of gray hair.
"Yuan Xi ......" Wei Dongshu held Yuan Xi in his arms with one hand: "Good daughter." ”
