Chapter 593: Heat

Chapter 593

Xiao Tao, who was leaning on the corridor to do rehabilitation exercises, heard this, her face changed, and she asked rhetorically: "Didn't you say that the fourth master only set off from the south two days ago, why did he come back so quickly?"

She can say that she still plans to wait for two days to get better and go to the main courtyard to find Mama Fu, and begged Mama Fu to come forward to help, and was transferred from the backyard to the front yard to be on an errand.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look dark and almost fell to the ground. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Sister, what's wrong with you, I said that your body still needs a good rest, you ran out and walked around again, don't touch the injury again. The little palace maid Mu Xiang threw away the food box in her hand and rushed to Xiao Tao's side, while helping Xiao Tao, who was already weak, to walk into the room, while whispering.

She understood that Xiao Tao wanted to go back to the main courtyard on an errand, and she also tried her best to meet Mama Fu, but she was a little palace maid on an errand in the big kitchen, and she was not qualified to enter the main courtyard at all, and she couldn't spare a lot of time to go to the gate of the main courtyard to wait for Mama Fu to appear, even if she had this time, the gate of the main courtyard was not something she could stay for a long time, and she was afraid that she would not help Xiao Tao, but hurt Xiao Tao.

Feeling sorry for Xiao Tao's wood fragrance, he hurriedly tore the soft cushion made of the torn quilt, stuffed it under Xiao Tao's body, and stuffed the pillowcase behind Xiao Tao, then turned around and returned to the yard and picked up the food box she had just dropped.

In the food box is she specially begged a good eunuch in the big kitchen, and asked for a bowl of chicken soup with ginseng slices, deer antler velvet and other tonics, although it was left overnight, but it was hot, and it smelled fragrant, and as soon as she opened the lid of the food box, Mu Xiang couldn't help but swallow her saliva, "Sister, take a sip." ”

"And you owe me a favor again. "Don't look at Xiao Tao as a rough maidservant, but in the end it came out of the main courtyard, and I have also seen the tonic soup prepared by the small kitchen for the Wulanala clan, and I only smelled the smell and knew that it was a good thing, and then I saw that the pair of silver cloves on Mu Xiang's ears were gone, where would I not know the origin of this thing!

I think it was Niu Hulu who begged the big kitchen to stew soup for the little brother's grandmother.

"Sister, what are you talking about!

It's rare for me and my sister to hit it off at first sight, if I don't even want to help with this little favor, then what shame do I have to come here!" Mu Xiang shook his head with a smile, blew the chicken soup into the bowl, and said softly.

Speaking of which, in such a situation, there is such a little palace maid who helps her sincerely, and Xiao Tao doesn't know if her team is worth it.

Thinking of this, Xiao Tao's already cold and hard heart softened a little, smiled and raised his hand to take the soup bowl in Mu Xiang's hand, and said softly: "Don't just drink it by myself, let's drink it together, I see that you have lost a little weight in the past few days." ”

After saying that, she brought a tablespoon of chicken soup to Mu Xiang's lips.

The chicken soup is boiled with the old hen that has been raised in Zhuangzi for three years, and it is simmered for two or three hours, it is very flavorful, and a lot of precious medicinal materials are added, with a trace of the aroma of medicinal materials, and the taste is very attractive.

Although the little palace maid Mu Xiang wanted to refuse, she didn't resist the temptation in the end.

The two of them sat on the bunk covered with a set of broken bedding, you took a sip, and I drank a bowl of chicken soup in one gulp, and then sat together again and talked privately.

"Sister, it's not early, the kitchen is watching, I have to hurry back, and when I come over to bring you food in the evening, I'll talk to you again!" Mu Xiang said to Xiao Tao with a smile while sorting out the food box.

Compared with the busyness in the morning, Mu Xiang's evening time is more relaxed, so Xiao Tao is lonely, so she often sneaks out to live with Xiao Tao, and even the broken bedding here is Mu Xiang secretly moved from her own, for this matter, even the eunuch in charge of the big kitchen has looked for her once.

"Don't be in a hurry to leave, I have a few words to tell you!" Xiao Tao saw that Mu Xiang was about to go out as she spoke, so she hurriedly stopped and said in a low voice.

Mu Xiang looked at the sky outside, although she was in a hurry to leave, she still nodded, returned to Xiao Tao's side, and asked with a smile, "What else is there, sister?"

"I was kicked out of the yard by my master this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back!

I don't want to go back, but I really don't want to be sent to Zhuangzi, and you know that this servant who made a mistake is worse than death when he arrives in Zhuangzi, so I want to ask you to take the time to help me find out what is going on with the housekeeper!" Xiao Tao pinched the corner of her clothes with some trepidation and said in a low voice.

"This little thing, then I'll go there when I have a chance. Mu Xiang replied with a smile, if it is difficult to go to the main courtyard to ask for blessings, but if you go to the public middle school to see the housekeeper, it will be much easier, as long as you find an opportunity to wander around, in the end, they are all slaves and maids, who can really have a higher status than whom!

To put it bluntly, it was Mu Xiang who saw the little peach who was about to die, and she had a natural fear of those high masters, so she didn't dare to slip out of the main courtyard, otherwise she would have seen Mama Fu a long time ago, and she also knew that this time Xiao Tao was pitted by Mulan in front of Mama Fu.

"I'll leave this matter to you, you can take this bit of silver. As he spoke, Xiao Tao stuffed the broken silver into Mu Xiang's hand from his sleeve, and said with a face that could not be refused, "Don't push back and forth with me, this money is for you to take and do, Hades is aggressive, the little ghost is difficult, there is no benefit, those people are afraid that they will not let you see the housekeeper so easily!"

"Then I'll take it, I'll definitely do it for you. Taking the broken silver wrapped in a handkerchief, Mu Xiang blushed a little embarrassedly and said in a low voice.

sent away Mu Xiang, and Xiao Tao circled around the front and back of the house again.

Don't look at this courtyard has been deserted, and overgrown with withered grass, even the windows and pillars are mottled with paint, looking dilapidated, but the more this kind of place, the more secrets there are, the day before yesterday, she turned out a piece of incense sachet embroidered with willow leaves from an inconspicuous corner, thinking that it was a little palace maid and a small maid and eunuch who didn't know the weight of the proof that there was a friendship beyond the ordinary, so she planned to take advantage of the time before leaving here, rummage through it, maybe she could find some side ones!

This is all a help for her in the future.

However, I don't know the severity of the weight is always less, she circled around the front and back of the house a few times, and did not find anything next to it, only found a pair of old silver bracelets that have been stained with the color of the earth, thinking that she has buried some thoughts in the soil, it should be left by those eunuchs in the previous dynasty, and it must not be hidden by the people in the house.

(The original site of Prince Yong's mansion was the eunuch's official residence in the Ming Dynasty.) )

Since it was left by someone who had already made an ancient being, Xiao Tao naturally put it away without any psychological pressure, don't look at this thing, but in the end, it is silver, and if it is smashed, it can also be used as broken silver to go on the road.

――――――

At the same time that Xiao Tao was preparing for leaving, Erfu was also busy dressing up, and the fourth master, who thought that it would take a few days to come back, actually arranged for someone to come back from Tongzhou Kuaima early in the morning to report the news, and it is estimated that she will be able to enter Beijing in another hour, although she can't go to Shili Pavilion outside the city to pick up people as a female dependent, but she can still meet her in the house.

Besides, the Ulanala clan has also asked people to come over to pass the message, asking her to prepare carefully, saying that she will go to the flower hall to wait for someone in a while, in order to let the fourth master come back to see her beautiful Erfu, who still has some injuries on her face, she naturally has to pick up the drops carefully.

"Master, why don't you just wear this set of gold-inlaid rubies with entwined branches and lotus pattern heads!" Yaoqin flipped through the makeup box, touched the set of heads and faces, and touched Erfu, who had already combed her hair in a bun, and said softly.

"Just listen to you, and then find out the small lapel placket suit full of water-red embroidered hibiscus, and I'll wear that one today. ”

Erfu doesn't plan to dress up too plainly on such a day, coupled with the makeup that Yaoqin put on for her, she will be bewitching, if she really wears plain, then it is called nondescript!

The most important point is that the fourth master left the house for a month to go to the south, and she also understood that the Ulanala clan and her could no longer coexist peacefully, so why did she always wronged herself and her children and let the Ulanala clan!

Thinking of this, Erfu asked Yaoqin to go across the courtyard on both sides.

"I'll go see Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er!"

Taking advantage of this time, Erfu led the guzheng to the wing, and Mama Jin's body had recovered half a month ago, but Erfu was still a little uneasy, as if the scene of Xiao Jiu'er crying and crying with hunger that day had been deeply engraved in her heart, and even in the nightmare of the previous two days, Xiao Jiu'er was so hungry that she couldn't do it.

In the wing, Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er had just woken up, lying on the crib with their brains in their heads, looking at the pendant on the bed and smirking.

"The slave has seen the master. ”

"The slave has seen the master. Mama Jin and Mama Meng hurriedly got up and said.

Erf smiled and waved his hand, and sat down on the embroidered pier next to the crib very casually, while teasing the child with the small toy hanging on the bed with his hand, and said softly: "Sit down and talk, I just came to see the child." ”

The baby child is like a treetop that changes day by day in the spring, even if Erfu comes to see it every day, she still feels that every time she sees Xiao Jiu and Jiu'er, she has a feeling of great change, and she doesn't know if there will be a strangeness that she doesn't know when she sees these two little guys when the fourth master comes back this time!

Thinking of this, Erfu was a little worried, and he didn't know if the fourth master had become dark and thin outside......

"Sit down, you all, I'll go back. I was going to ask about the child here, but Mama Jin and Mama Meng both looked like they wanted to send her back to the upper room immediately to dress up, so she couldn't sit down anymore, so she had to get up and go back to the upper room.

The clothes that have been smoked with incense are draped on the body, and Erfu feels beads of sweat on her head, she can say that from spring to winter to now, there has been no rain for two or three months, and it is really hot to a certain extent, especially when the sun is already high at this time, the temperature inside and outside the room really makes her feel that summer is coming.

Call......

Erf shook the decorative fan in her hand with all her might, as if this was the only way to dispel the stuffiness around her.

"Master, are you a little nervous!" Lily of the Valley, who was helping to put a hairpin on Erfu's head, made a rare joke.

has come to the West Courtyard on an errand, and Lily of the Valley for half a month, she has really integrated into this big family, but she is joking like this, it is really the first time, not only the party Erfu was surprised, but even the guzheng that was holding a flannel tray next to her was surprised, and the little tongue could be seen when the little mouth was open.

"Huh?"

Erf stopped the fan in her hand and looked back with a blush.

Sure enough, Yaoqin, who was secretly helping her fan the wind just now, also stopped moving, obviously they all felt that what Lily of the Valley said was the truth, after all, the fourth master had been gone for more than a month, and his own master, the master who was bent on the fourth master, how could he not be excited and nervous!

Erf, who was already a little shy, really blushed this time.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Erf, who was blushing with shame, scolded with a flood in his eyes.

Immediately, as if she realized something, she turned her head very seriously, looked up and down with bated breath at Guzheng and Yaoqin and others standing beside her, and was stunned for a while before she took a deep breath and said slowly: "Don't you feel hot?"

"The slave thinks it's okay. Gu Zheng scratched his head inexplicably.

When Erfu heard this, he focused on the guzheng and looked at it very seriously.

I saw Guzheng standing by the window, the warm sunlight through the glass window, just sprinkled on her, blocking the dazzling sunlight for her, and she was busy sorting out her clothes, which should be hotter than her, but Guzheng's face didn't even see a bead of sweat, obviously she didn't feel hot, I was afraid that what she said was okay, she was worried about her Erfu's face, otherwise this girl must have answered 'not hot'.

After seeing the guzheng, Erfu looked at Yaoqin and the others again, and the guess in her heart was more certain, but at this time she didn't have time to think about it, so she could only bite her lip flap fiercely, suppressing the heat in her heart that was becoming more and more difficult to ignore, and gave up the small lapel placket flag suit that had been worn, found a thinner and cooler gauze silk flag suit, and brought an ice jade pendant in the placket to cool down, so she led the guzheng and Yaoqin and hurried to the flower hall.

Leaving the roofed room, facing the dazzling sunlight overhead, Erfu only felt that the heat was worse, so he had to look for the shade of the trees all the way to the flower hall.

"Master, are you okay!" As she walked, Yaoqin, who had always been careful, found a problem, and she walked at the front to lead the way, looked back at Erfu, who was hot and sweaty, and asked a little nervously.

Erff was already so hot that she couldn't speak, and waved her hand again and again: "It's okay, it's good to get to the flower hall." ”

"Then let's go slower!" Yaoqin suppressed the worry in her heart, motioned for Guzheng to fan Erfu on the side, and said softly.

Erfu nodded silently, slowed down, and waited for her to walk to the flower hall, and before she could sit down, she listened to the mother-in-law at the second gate back and forth, saying that the fourth master had entered the inner city, and with the command of the Ula Nala clan, she put down the warm tea she had just gotten in her hand a little helplessly, swallowed her saliva vigorously, relieved her nervousness, and followed the big guy to the second door.
