Chapter 1172 (1/2)
At dusk, the sunset red the West sky, Bixiao hall and even the whole palace were shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset.
Nangongyue's room is very lively, from time to time the girls' laughter.
”Sister-in-law,” Xiao Rongxuan said with a smile, ”the Mid Autumn Festival Lantern Festival last night was really interesting. There were beautiful lanterns hanging all over the street, and people were dancing lions and dragons in the street...”
Xiao Rongying, who was wearing a hundred butterfly flower pattern and brocade, grasped the gap and said, ”yes! There is also a temple fair in the Anlan palace, where all kinds of trinkets are displayed. ” With that, she took a meaningful look at Xiao Rongxuan. According to the news she heard, Xiao Rongxuan accompanied Fang Zimo to the Anlan palace and was banned for a long time. There must be an unknown secret
Sure enough, Xiao Rongxuan looks a little stiff when she hears an LAN palace. She looks at Nangong Yue nervously and scolds Xiao Rongying which pot should not be mentioned.
Xiao Rongying was proud of herself and gave her a look. She immediately took out a red lacquer wooden box and opened it.
Xiao Rongying said in a funny way: ”sister-in-law, I happened to see a stall with exquisite and interesting masks at the temple fair last night, so I chose one for my sister-in-law. I hope my sister-in-law will not dislike it. ” While talking, the servant girl has respectfully presented the mahogany box to Magpie.
Magpie was sent to Nangong Yue. Nangong Yue looked at him casually. Xiao Rongying's eyes were good. The monkey mask was not only bright in color, but also very smart in drawing, which vividly drew the monkey's sly smile.
”Thank you, sister four.” Nangong Yue said politely.
Xiao Rongxuan rubbed her handkerchief. Suddenly, her aura flashed, and she seemed to have no intention of saying, ”sister four, you were really hard at the Temple Fair yesterday. You didn't have to help cousin LAN give moon cakes while you still had time to pick up a mask for your sister-in-law.”
Xiao Rongying's face changed slightly, and she quickly refuted: ”second elder sister, you are wrong. I didn't help my cousin LAN to give moon cakes. I just happened to take a look at it on the way.”
Last time, sister Qiao proposed to give tea and medicine together with their palace in full view of the public, but she was refused by her sister-in-law. Now, cousin LAN suddenly offers moon cakes, and what she wants is clear at a glance. If the elder sister-in-law thought that she had helped cousin LAN, she would be unhappy. The second elder sister is so cunning!
Nangong Yue only felt like a few flies flying in his ear. At this time, a ”meow” came from her feet. Cat Xiaobai looked at her with a pair of round mandarin duck eyes. Somehow, Nangong Yue saw a trace of sympathy from the glass bead like eyes: it's really pitiful to play with someone you don't like.
”Sister in law, I remember it's called Xiaobai, right? It's fluffy, so cute As soon as she saw Xiaobai, Xiao Rongying immediately took the opportunity to change the topic and praised with a smile. Her mouth seemed to have eaten honey, ”sister-in-law, can I hold it?”
As she spoke, she stood up and walked forward slowly. There was a faint fear in her eyes. Could this cat not catch people? It's said that a commoner girl in Dai's mansion was scratched on the cheek by a cat, so she broke her face. The cat is very pet. If she scratches herself, she will help the cat, won't she?
Thinking of this, Xiao Rongying hesitated.
”Meow!” Xiaobai glared at Xiao Rongying, disdained to greet her with his butt and tail, and walked away with his tail up.
Seeing Xiaobai go like this, Xiao Rongying's expression is a little embarrassed. She also breathes a sigh of relief and says with a dry smile, ”sister-in-law's cat is very good.”
Xiao Rongxuan on one side of her face sticks to a veil and Snickers.
Nangong Yue was amused by Xiaobai, and he felt that it was time to make his ears clean.
These two little girls are not making trouble with themselves.
”The second sister, the fourth sister,” Nangong Yue interrupted without trace, ”will be the father's birthday in a few days. Can you prepare the Birthday Ceremony for the father
It's a matter of filial piety. The two girls scrambled to say:
”I embroidered a handkerchief for my father and two pairs of shoes and socks as a birthday present.”
”I found a dragon tail inkstone in Penglai snow hall for my father.”
With that, they both looked at each other with disdain. The former thought that the latter's gift was not filial at all, and the latter thought that making two pairs of socks by the former was simply to send off the beggar.
Nangong Yue frowned slightly and said with a straight face: ”this year is the 40th birthday of my father. The ceremony can't be prepared lightly. In my opinion, the two sisters should make a dress and a pair of shoes for the father.”
Making clothes and shoes The faces of the two girls are a little stiff. Now it's only a few days before the birthday party. If you want to make a suit of clothes and shoes, you can't have a good rest these days. But there are servant girls around you who can help
The two sisters thought about what steps to let the maid help. They could be responsible for the final stitching and embroidering some flowers. The time should be about the same.
Nangong Yue thought that he didn't see the two people in a dilemma. He continued with a smile: ”when the father sees the filial piety of the two sisters, he will surely be comforted. Go back and get ready. ”They had to get up and leave.
Nangong Yue finally dismissed the two sisters through the help of Zhennan king. However, this plan could only cope with it for a while. She secretly planned to ask her husband to give them some homework after the birthday party, so as to save them both space leisure and run to their own Bixiao hall all day.
Not only Nangong Yue felt clean, but also the magpie on one side. They also looked at each other with a smile, and said in their heart: this move of the princess is really amazing!
At this time, thrushi walked in quickly. She felt that the atmosphere in dongci room was a little strange, but she didn't think much about it. She took out a small blue porcelain vase and knelt down and said, ”Princess Shizi, someone came to the tea shop outside the city today to sell antipyretics. She specially left a small bottle of medicine, saying that he would go to the tea shop again tomorrow. Those who help the tea shop do not dare to make decisions, so they will send them to the palace for you to have a look. ”
Nangong Yue took the vase, opened the cork, put it to the tip of his nose, and smelled a faint smell of medicine, such as Agastache rugosa, perilla leaf, Angelica dahurica, Atractylodes macrocephala, tangerine peel, Pinellia ternata It seems to have also used a kind of unique herb of Southern Xinjiang.
Nangongyue can roughly judge that this medicine is made of more than ten kinds of herbs, including one or two herbs, which can not be confirmed by smell alone, but she can be sure that it has the effect of cooling and relieving summer heat.
She poured out a dark brown pill, observed it carefully, and tasted it. The bitter taste made her squint slightly, but her eyes brightened.
The quality of this antipyretic is really good!
The so-called ”technology has its own specialty”. Maybe this pharmacist specializing in antipyretics can make such a good medicine!
Nangong Yue said decisively, ”thrush, I plan to go to the tea shop tomorrow morning to meet the medicine seller.” After a pause, she added Thrushcross, go and see if the eldest girl is back and see if she wants to go with me tomorrow
Xiao Fei said to her yesterday that she would go to Fangzhai to see her grandparents from afar.
”Yes, princess.” Thrush takes orders and goes.
After a while, the thrush came back and said, ”princess, the eldest girl hasn't come back.”
Nangong Yue is stunned. It's Dusk now. Since Xiao Fei hasn't come back, it's estimated that she will stay in Fang's house for dinner.
Nangongyue has no good impression on the third room of the other party's house, but he is also Xiao Fei's outsider.
Nangong Yue slightly jaw head said to know, and asked: ”hundred flowers can follow?”
These days, Xiao Fei's first school director, Nangong Yue asked Baihui to stay with her for a while to help. Yesterday, when she heard that she was going to Fangzhai, she quietly told Baihui to go with her.
”Yes.” The thrush should say, ”Bai Hui elder sister and tao yao went with the big girl.”
Nangong Yue didn't ask any more questions, but said, ”let's wait for the big girl to come back to the mansion.”
The thrush answered, and ordered a little servant girl to go to the porter to give an order. When Xiao Fei came back, she would send someone to report the news
As Nangong Yue expected, Xiao Fei was left behind. At the moment, she was in the small flower Hall of Fang's house, accompanying Mrs. Fang Santai, Mrs. Chu and Mrs. Fang San for dinner.
In addition to the two elders, there are also three young young young girls Fang's company.
During the banquet, it was quiet. People always paid attention to food, but only occasionally heard the sound of chopsticks touching the dishes when the servant girl was cooking
At this time, a servant girl put a cup of soup in front of Xiao Fei, respectfully said: ”table girl, please use soup.” He raised his hand and lifted the lid of the bowl.
The soup just came out of the oven, and the bowl cover was really hot. The maid didn't hold it firmly for a moment. The bowl lid fell into the soup with a bang, and the hot soup splashed out. However, a pool of brown soup stains were left on Xiao Feiyue's white sleeve with a flick of her fingers.
Xiao Fei frowned slightly. The servant girl in green clothes on the soup fell on her knees and begged for mercy again and again! Please forgive me
Fang San Madame reproached the servant girl with displeasure: ”how can you be so careless! Get out of here
The servant girl bowed down in a panic, and the third lady apologized and said, ”sister Fei, the maids in the mansion are thick handed and thick footed, which makes you laugh. I'll let the servant girl take you to change your clothes. ”
Fang six Girl Purple Yi interface way: ”Fei cousin, I have a new dress, just made, has not worn, I let the maid send to you.”
It's inevitable that there are accidents during the banquet. Xiao Fei nodded her head and said, ”that will trouble my aunt.”
Mrs. Fang said enthusiastically, ”no trouble! No trouble
After that, Yao Huang, the big servant girl of the third lady of Fang, came over and bowed to Xiao Fei and said, ”cousin, please follow me.”
Xiao Fei got up and politely Fu Fu, then went out of the small flower hall with Yao Huang.
Yao Huang and Xiao Fei walked along a cobblestone path for a while, then turned right through a veranda and entered the courtyard.
Generally, one or two small courtyards are specially prepared for guests to have a rest. Xiao Fei used to come to Fang's house, so she is no stranger to this courtyard.
Yao Huang led the way and said, ”cousin, please.”
Yao Huang led Xiao Fei's master and servant into the inner room. Soon, a little servant girl came over panting with a bundle in her hand.”Yes, I have. The seven girls of my family sent their maids and maids to deliver clothes to Biao After cursing, the servant girl handed over Fang Ziyi's new clothes to Taoyao.
After that, the servant girls of two square houses respectfully withdrew from the inner room.
Xiao Fei is served by Taoyao and avoids changing clothes behind the screen, while Baihui is waiting outside.
Since she came to Fangzhai, Baihui has never left Xiaofei and never relaxed her vigilance. It is precisely because of this that she immediately noticed the strange footsteps outside.
The footstep sound is heavy and light. It doesn't sound like the gentleness of a woman. There is also a strange ”dada” sound.
This is the inner courtyard. Who is it?!
Baihui took a look at the screen, walked out of the inner room and closed the door gently.
She raised her eyes and looked in the direction of the sound of footsteps. At one glance, she saw a man in blue robe walking towards this side with a crutch on his back. The sound of ”dada” was made by the crutches hitting the ground.
It's Fang Shilei!
Baihui's mouth hook out a smile, cold eyes fell on Fang Shilei's difficult legs and feet and that rosewood crutch.
