green bamboo dream

Ning Qiu's marriage was quite festive and lively, but the woman's side was fine. It was inconvenient for Yuzhu to go by herself, and it was not appropriate for the maidservant to go too much, so she only sent a close-fitting maid to give gifts.But Guirong is very popular. Hearing that he is going to marry a wife, those old friends, customers who often have business dealings, and colleagues come to congratulate him one after another. Anyway, the bride lives next door, so there is no rush.A group of people drank and laughed, and almost missed the auspicious time.

Many people came to tease Gui Rong when they were drunk, married a fourth wife and met a capable and good girl, my brother's family is full of shrewd wives, and then they are desperate to drink...

The mother-in-law who went to help came back and talked to Yuzhu, which made Yuzhu overjoyed. She always thought it was a cute saying to have a tough wife at home-a man should be fierce and hardworking like a lion outside, and gentle and considerate like a sheep at home.

It's a pity that men of this quality were rare in the previous life. They were everywhere in the nest, and everyone would bend over when they saw outside, and immediately turned into the second uncle when they got home... I don't even expect it in this life. I have to hope that Cheng Xunxun will become a sheep. It's better to let Brother Xi be able to do somersaults right now.

"Ah..." Thinking of that weird scene, Yu Zhu couldn't help laughing until she lost her image, while Brother Xi looked at him ignorantly, calling out twice to show his existence.

"You little villain, you cheated on your mother again." Yu Zhu turned Brother Xi over, touched his fat belly, and said in admonition: "Don't cry casually, you know? Especially not to be seen by Daddy You cry when you are with your mother, you know?"

As if thinking of something, she couldn't help but blushed, her buttocks seemed to be aching again...

In a blink of an eye, it is the Buddha Bathing Festival on the eighth day of April. According to the rules, people should give up Yuandou and eat vegetarian food.

Although it is vegetarian, the breakfast is still very rich, with shredded water bamboo shoots, fried rice balls with honey moss, ten kinds of sugar and manna cakes, wild fried fruits, folded milk skin, fried fruits with yam, cabbage, meat and mushrooms, vegetarian buns and sunni Efen white cake, in addition to several color porridge products such as sweet porridge.

As soon as he put down the bowls and chopsticks, Cheng Xunxun went out, and after a while, he came in with an exquisite gold-painted and carved huanghuali box, and handed it to Yu Zhu.

"What is it?" Yu Zhu reached out to take it, but after seeing it, she exclaimed happily, "Jianan Fragrant Bead String!"

The bottom of the box was covered with fine velvet, and a string of Canaan incense beads lay quietly on it, glowing with a low-key and luxurious gray light.

Fragrance beads are worthless, but incense strings made from Canaan incense are very rare. After all, agarwood is easy to get, but there are few varieties.

"I heard you mention it before. When I found the ingredients, I asked someone to make it. I added plum blossom slices, dragon saliva and rose water..." Cheng Xunxun looked at Yuzhu's admiration, and his smile deepened. "It's just for your birthday. present."

Because of filial piety, Yuzhu's birthday hasn't passed since she married, even though she doesn't say anything, he always feels wronged by her.Canaan incense is indeed rare, but it is worth it to make her so happy.

Happy in my heart, I still want to make fun of it: "You women like these incense powders, look how bright your eyes are, just like little... cough, the same as when that pig saw the fruit."

Yuzhu smelled the pleasant fragrance from the incense string, like flower fragrance and fruit fragrance, and if there is a faint honey fragrance... He couldn't help being intoxicated, but he turned his head immediately unconvinced when he heard the words: " Don’t you men also like those knives and swords, this is called radish and green vegetables, each has its own love.”

Seeing that his little wife started to blow hair, Cheng Xunxun put it away as soon as he saw it, took a sip from the teacup with pink lotus petals on the table, and talked about a strange incident related to incense: "...Master Ji was reprimanded by the emperor the other day. , there are so many people watching from below, there is going to be some movement again."

"Why?" Recently, the court has been calm and peaceful, and there is no political disagreement. How could he be reprimanded for no reason?

Cheng Xunxun shook his head and said with a smile: "The introduction is really novel... Recently, there is a kind of incense stick popular in the palace. It was originally a trick figured out by those female officials to compete for the favor of the concubines."

It turns out that the incense sticks are not ordinary high-soled shoes, but hollow out the middle of the heel, carve out lotus patterns on the sole, and fill the hollow heel with incense powder... Wearing such incense When you walk, incense powder is sprinkled everywhere you pass, forming a lotus flower that exudes a faint fragrance, with exquisite patterns, taking the interest of "lotus grows step by step".

It was an ingenious idea, but also because of its exquisite fragrance and long meaning, it was loved by most concubines. At first, the concubines did not dare to wear it. Concubine Kang was brave enough to try it first, and immediately won the praise of the emperor. It became popular in the harem.

It's a pity that the German concubine from Ji's family has a little back, and others can wear it, but she caused disaster when she wore it.

"...It is said that when we were admiring the late plum blossoms in the imperial garden, the wind was a little stronger and the incense powder on the ground was blown up, which coincidentally caught the emperor's eyes." Cheng Xunxun looked indifferent: "The emperor immediately reprimanded De The concubine paused and walked away."

Yu Zhu was puzzled, "Why did you scold De Concubine? She is not the only one wearing that kind of incense dress." Thinking about the scene at that time, she felt chills. A man was surrounded by beautiful and enchanting women, walking around In the middle, the ground is full of lotus-shaped scented powder marks. One line is pretty, but if there are too many, it will be bad... If there is another wind, it will be ruined.

She lowered her head silently, and suddenly showed little sympathy to her imperial cousin—at least he helped her raise the child!How can you be so devastated by women.

"Stupid child, the emperor said that it was left by the concubine De, that is... or not." Cheng Xunxun smiled warmly, but his words were meaningful. Mr. Ji has tired De Concubine."

It was originally this kind of relationship - the emperor was dissatisfied with the Ji family, he could beat the De concubine to give a warning;

"Now, the concubine has been moved to the palace, and I'm afraid she is not far from falling out of favor."

Yu Zhu exhaled slightly, the Ji family's meddling in the matter of Zhuyi princesses would not cause such a commotion from the emperor, in front of all the officials scolding, there would be more factions ready to move, there is no guarantee that the Ji family will not be seriously injured, could it be Did Debi also make a mistake?

Thinking about it, she was a little worried about Yueyu, so she simply ran back to Deyuan to find Cui Shi.

Cui smiled when she saw Yuzhu, nodded her nose and said: "You little cat, I am making rose cakes and wisteria cakes in my small kitchen, so far away, you smelled the scent and ran back? Brother Xi What, my little darling is not here?"

Cui looked around, but didn't see that painful little meat ball, couldn't help pinching Yuzhu's cheek, and said angrily: "It's so hard to come here, but I didn't bring my precious grandson here."

Yu Zhu secretly said: If I bring them, even though most of the De Gardens won't have a place for me.But she still tilted her head and acted coquettishly with Cui Shi: "Didn't you go to bed early? You said that you were not allowed to disturb the child's sleep."

Cui had no choice but to twist the rain bamboo again.

Rose cakes and wisteria cakes are what you should eat in April. I used to make them when I was in my boudoir. I picked off the best blooming rose petals and wisteria petals, washed them, added sugar and fat, mixed them well and steamed them into cakes. .

But Yuzhu prefers to bake it before eating. The rose cake is rich and rich, and the wisteria cake is clear and sweet. They are both crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

After tasting the sweetness just out of the pot, Yu Zhu wiped her mouth and talked to Cui about the affairs in the palace.

After hearing this, Cui said with a smile: "It's okay, I heard from your father that the emperor is in a bad mood recently, and he looks coldly at everyone, even the empress dowager is useless to persuade her, that Concubine De is just a pond fish."

The saying that companions are like companions to tigers is not false. Since ancient times, the temper of emperors has been unpredictable, and if they are not careful, they will be in bad luck.

"That child, Yueyu, is playing the wrong way. Although she is innocent, she is not completely scheming, and she will not be so rash that she breaks the rules. The emperor seems to like it." Cui followed closely, and it is not easy to be fooled today. , the fighting methods between those concubines, if he doesn't say it, it doesn't mean he doesn't know. If you think about it, you won't have a good impression of those who are too vicious, but Yueyu is cheaper.

Cui gave Yu Zhu a loving look, her eyes were soft: "A mother knows that her child is doing well... No, after hearing the news again in spring, your second aunt's health is also gradually improving, and now she is able to recover." Get out of bed."

Yu Zhu leaned against Cui Shi's shoulder and smiled, saying: "This is great."

The separation of flesh and blood is inherently sad, but if the separation of yin and yang is added, it will be too miserable.

……

When I went back, I brought a lot of things in big bags and small bags, which Cui usually saved, Yu Zhu laughed: "Mother gave me so many things, the two sisters-in-law should be jealous, at least I should also save some for my nephew and niece. "

Cui urged her to get in the car, frowning, "It's okay to come out for a while, although there are no elders above, at least be careful not to be too late!" I can't worry enough.

The weather has turned warm, and the warm spring breeze blows across the earth, with the fragrance of flowers and plants in the wind. The tall and simple Zhenbei General's Mansion is shrouded in the sunny spring light, but it seems to be asleep. If solidified.Even if the garden is full of verdant vegetation and flowers, the pervasive haze cannot be swept away. Even the parrots in the corridor feel the suffocating silence. They no longer make noise and stand quietly on the cage in a daze. He flapped his wings, as if he had fallen asleep.

The room was even more eerily quiet. Feng Baoer was lying on the side of the bed in a light sleep. Her originally bright face paled a lot, as if she had slept soundly, but the slight trembling of the beaded petals on her temples was telling the story of her sleep. not stable.

It was the sick Mrs. Feng who fell asleep on the bed, and there was only a slight ups and downs on the quilt as she breathed.

The silence makes people feel chilly...

Suddenly, there was a rustling sound from outside the curtain, and then two women came in lightly, half hugging and half hugging Feng Baoer and retreated.

Lu Haoran raised his head from the document on the case, took his wife and child from the mother-in-law, hugged her horizontally and put her on the bed in the inner room, and settled her properly... After a long while, a trace of pity flashed in his eyes , hesitated for a moment or lightly kissed the woman on the cheek, then walked out of the inner room and buried her head in the heavy books again.

He didn't see that there were crystal tears slowly oozing from the closed eyes of the woman on the bed, and disappeared invisible... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to subscribe and give a reward , your support is my biggest motivation.)
