Summer is approaching, and the warm sun is noisy. Qiu Niang takes off Ruan Yuyi's hairpin and smoothes her black hair with a comb. "My empress is not in the palace. She probably doesn't know that the eldest princess's young master is here."
Now that I can crawl, I will make Concubine Rong very troublesome."
She ruffled her hair and didn't answer.
In the past, either when she was holding the Phoenix Seal, or when Concubine Rong was busy with these matters, she was not worried at all that Concubine Rong could not manage the harem well.
The girl with a double-snail bun squatted beside the table, supporting her head with one hand, looking up at Qiu Niang's movements. She suddenly said, "Actually, the slave family has never understood why the empress does not want to return to the palace. How much fine clothes and food are there?
No one can envy her."
Ruan Yuyi glanced sideways at her and said slowly, "It's just that people in the palace envy those outside the palace, and those outside the palace envy those in the palace."
The girl in the double-snail bun blinked twice in confusion.
When Qiuniang asked this question, her expression changed. She was afraid of poking Ruan Yuyi's sadness, so she glared at her quietly. The girl met her eyes and shivered.
At this moment, Xian'er walked in happily holding several small flowers with unknown names in her hands. She spread the flowers on the dressing table, and the delicate and small flowers were scattered all over the table.
"When sister is well, it will be my turn." She stared at Qiuniang's deftly turning hands with interest.
Qiuniang raised her eyebrows, as if she was flattered, "That's natural, the fourth girl should think about what she wants in advance."
While she was talking, she had already tied up Ruan Yuyi's hair. Qiuniang had been involved in romance all year round, and she was the one who knew the latest styles best. Ruan Yuyi quietly looked at herself in the mirror, she raised her hand to hold the hairpin, and in the mirror
The person raised her hand, and she felt an unfamiliar feeling in her heart.
It seemed like she hadn't looked at herself like this for a long time.
A white and tender hand stretched out, her ear was slightly itchy, and a small pink flower was pinned to her temple.
She looked along the hand and saw that Xian'er was curling her lips and smiling.
When it was Xian'er's turn, probably because of her innocence, everyone present loved to tease her. After finishing their hair extensions, they all hurriedly tied the remaining flowers into her hair.
superior.
Xian'er hid while giggling, then simply got up from the round stool and hid in the other corner of the room, running and dropping two flowers along the way.
The girl with the flower in her hand was not willing to let her go, so she chased after her with a smile.
Xian'er laughed so hard that her face turned red and she was almost out of breath. She held her hands in front of her body and said, "Sister Jing just wants to pretend that I am a nymphomaniac."
After hearing this, the girl reached out to scratch her with evil intentions, until she squatted down along the wall, "Everyone else has hairpins, but I still have many hairpins on my hands, so I won't let you."
While she was looking for a moment to catch her breath while laughing, she said, "Good sister, please spare me."
Ruan Yuyi couldn't help but curl up her lips as she watched the two people quarreling.
The golden light and shadow fell from the window, and unknowingly, it had changed its position. She just looked at this light and shadow, counting the days, until the lotus in the pond withered, and autumn passed and winter came, and she put on her coat again.
Mrs. Ruan made new stoves for several of the younger members of the family, and stored silver bone charcoal that could last the whole winter. As for making new clothes, it goes without saying that the daily supply of milk is also needed.
Even Muxiang and Qiuniang received new clothes and expressed their gratitude profusely.
.
The first snow in winter this year has been delayed for a long time, which made Xian'er, who was born in southern province, complain all the time. He is really stingy. It won't snow when I come here.
Ruan Yuyi and Mrs. Ruan sat on the round table together. After hearing this, they realized that it was spring when Xian'er and the others went to Beijing, and indeed they had never seen snow in the capital.
She held the warm porridge, and the warmth from the wall of the bowl spread to the palm of her hand. She softly described to Xian'er the heavy snowfall last winter: She also suddenly saw it when she got up in the morning. The snow was as white as catkins and bent the branches.
, made a slight movement, and fell down with a splash.
Although she had been in Beijing for many years at that time, she still felt novel when looking at this eye-catching white snow. She held a handful in her hands until the snow turned into water, and her palms were as white as snow from the cold.
Then he shook his hands and put his hands into his sleeves.
Xian'er listened with seriousness on his face, as if he had really seen the snow, and he was looking forward to it more and more.
Her mother-in-law smiled and listened, but when she handed the tea cup to the lady standing by her side and sent her to exchange for scented tea, she accidentally broke the tea cup.
The mother-in-law trembled in fright at the sudden movement and kept saying, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." She leaned over to pick it up.
Mrs. Ruan, however, stared at the tea cup intently and did not come back to her senses for a long time.
Only then did Ruan Yuyi realize that it wasn't that Aniang didn't care about her brother, it was just that everyone around her was thinking about him. If she kept talking about her feelings, she might make them even more sad.
It's not that there are no letters from Ruan Zhuoxin, but it's not convenient for them in Beijing to write letters. In addition, as a mother, Mrs. Ruan knows very well that her son is a master who reports good things but not bad things.
Fortunately, there were only some soaked tea leaves in the cup and not much water, so the mother-in-law quickly cleaned it up.
Ruan Yuyi, who was sitting near Mrs. Ruan, held her hand and called, "Auntie." Somehow, she felt more uneasy, and a sense of panic came over her, numbing most of her body.
Mrs. Ruan's eyes moved for a moment before she woke up from her thoughts. After such a fuss, she lost her thoughts and just said that she was a little tired, so she sent everyone back to their respective courtyards.
The scented tea I wanted to eat just now naturally ended up in vain.
.
The snow that Xian'er had been looking forward to finally fell in the middle of the night three days later. The snow rushed to the ground, and soon stood up on the ground, covering up the white tiled walls, and turning this silent
The night becomes more and more silent.
Ruan Yuyi tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She originally wanted to get up and find a cup of warm water to drink. Suddenly she saw the snow and put her hand on Mu Xiang's wrist who was also not asleep. "Quick, go call Xian'er."
As soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized that Xian'er was probably asleep at the moment, after all, he was running and jumping like that during the day.
She stared at the falling snow, walked into the snow step by step absentmindedly, and reached out to catch it.
An oil-paper umbrella covered her head. Mu Xiang held the handle of the umbrella and stood beside her.
There was silence.
At this time, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open with almost force. When I looked closely, I saw that it was the boy guarding the west corner gate. He stumbled in, saluted, and before he could take a deep breath, he was about to speak.
"Second girl, the emperor... is coming from outside..."
Mu Xiang's eyebrows sank, she stepped forward and patted his back, saying softly, "Don't be impatient, speak slowly."
Ruan Yuyi held the umbrella handed over by Mu Xiang and felt suspicious, "But the eldest young master and the others are back?" But this point is really weird. If it is getting late, most people should rest for the night at a nearby inn.
How could he hurry back so slowly?
If it is said that Jiang Huaiyang has arrived - when will he allow someone to announce it?
The boy made a swallowing motion and dug his ten fingers into the snow, "Second girl, please go out and take a look."
I've been cooking for several days, and I'm still in a state where I can't wait. If anyone at home is sick, remember to use separate utensils.
