Chapter 58 The child who is also called Ao'er shines
Aunt Mei was startled, "This..."
"That's all, I don't think you know. You teach Luo Changan to come here and I'll ask her." The Queen Mother smiled gently.
"Yes. My slave, please bring Luo Changan over now." Aunt Mei immediately returned to the dragon bed and brought Luo Changan to the Queen Mother.
After Luo Changan arrived, he knelt at the Queen Mother's feet and said, "I'm here to see the Queen Mother."
Luo Changan couldn't help but feel awe of the majestic Queen Mother. It was said that the Queen Mother taught the emperor strictly and was a very great mother.
"Get up. Come over to me."
Luo Changan then stood up and walked to the Queen Mother. Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother held her hand and touched it carefully.
The Queen Mother looked at Luo Changan's fingers carefully, then touched the bones, and said after a while: "Either you have such skillful hands, and only those with delicate skin and tender flesh can embroider such fine embroidery. The Aijia asked you, why is this forehead protector so beautiful?"
Does it smell like medicine?"
"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I heard Aunt Mei mentioned that the Queen Mother had a headache a few days ago, so I ground up ginseng, date kernels, cypress kernels, and albizia bark, and put it in the forehead protector with lining, so it smelled good.
It has a quiet medicinal fragrance.”
"But what effect does it have?"
"It can soothe the nerves and refresh the brain, and can also relieve headaches." Luo Changan said clearly, "There is a small opening on the side of the forehead protector. Once the fragrance of the medicine is gone, you can pull out the medicine lining.
Put in new medicine, this slave is reckless, the Queen Mother will atone for her sins."
The Queen Mother's medicines are managed by the Royal Medical Pavilion. This time she used ginseng, albizia bark and other Chinese medicinal materials. Strictly speaking, it was a side effect. Although it was a supplement, it would be unreasonable if investigated.
The Queen Mother's eyes flashed, and she nodded with satisfaction, "You are a thoughtful maid. I can rest assured that Mei Guan bought the person, but I think you are really good-natured, and the Ai family does not blame you. How did you know the size of my head circumference?"
?”
Luo Changan nodded, "I saw Aunt Mei's embroidered forehead protector before I saw it, so I wrote it down."
"Well, once you take a look, you will remember that he is an attentive child. His figure and temperament also look generous. Although he is a maid, she does not look like an ordinary person from a small family. Mei Guan, it is worth buying this person for you.
"
Aunt Mei chuckled, "This is because the Bodhisattva knew that the Queen Mother needed forehead protection today, so he sent a clever person to help the slave."
"Mei Guan's mouth will make the Ai family happy." The Queen Mother laughed for a while, then let go of Luo Changan's hand, "The base cloth for the forehead protector looks fresh, and it doesn't look like it belongs to the Bai family."
Luo Changan leaned forward slightly and said, "The Queen Mother has good eyesight. I chose the cloth from the Xiao Family Cloth Shop. I was thinking about using something different by chance, which would be unique."
The Queen Mother praised: "Yes. You have spoken to the hearts of the Ai family. Recently, the Ai family has been tired of the colors of the Bai family's cloth. There has been no new pattern for more than a year. Mei Guan, this child has good taste. Please arrange for her to go there."
Let the Xiao family cloth shop select some cloths of different colors and distribute them to the concubines in each palace, so that these concubines and daughters-in-law can be freshened up, so that the eyes of Ao'er, the child, will shine."
Aunt Mei leaned over and said, "I obey your order."
The Queen Mother waved her hands and said: "I'm tired, you all can go down."
Aunt Mei and Luo Changan were about to go down and walked to the aisle. Luo Changan's sharp eyes saw a jade bracelet in a rather hidden corner under the chair.
Luo Changan was startled. It was rumored in the palace that the Queen Mother's jade bracelet was lost. It turned out to be tucked in this inconspicuous little corner.
She picked it up, walked back and handed it to the Queen Mother without thinking too much, and said, "Your Majesty, did you leave your jade bracelet under the chair?"
The Queen Mother was overjoyed, "This is the birthday gift that the emperor gave to the Ai family this year. I can't find it anywhere in the past two days. I thought it was completely lost. The emperor comforted the Ai family and said that he would give another one of the same kind. The Ai family said that this object is just like a human being.
, I will give you ten more and it will not be the first one. I have to give up. Everyone knows that I lost this bracelet. This is fate. I hope you find me. You did not go along, which shows that you are a clean character. Come on, hit me.
Give her ten ounces of money to buy candy."
The servant handed the reward to Luo Changan. Luo Changan did not dare to refuse the Queen Mother's reward, so he thanked the Queen Mother and walked out.
After returning to Longshen, Luo Changan gave ten coins to Xiaotao, "Isn't your mother sick? Give her this money and teach her not to hold it back and pack some medicine to take."
Xiaotao was particularly touched. Her grandparents were old and in poor health, so they all needed to be supported by her parents. In order to save money, her mother was really reluctant to take medicine. Sister Changan often used her monthly money to support her.
She held the money and wiped her tears, thanked her and gave it to her mother.
When she came back, Xiao Tao said to Luo Chang'an: "Sister Chang'an, I just asked Mrs. Gui again, and she still refused to return our things."
"I was called by the Queen Mother just now for questioning. Now I'm going to Yuliu Palace with you to get something."
Luo Changan put on his cotton-padded clothes and left the dragon's dormitory. Nighthawk followed him in the dark, flying over the eaves and walls. The young man in white performed Qinggong without making any sound. Xiao Tao also followed behind.
When they arrived at the entrance of Yuliu Palace, Aunt Gui was sitting under the eaves, eating melon seeds. The elder saw Luo Changan and said sarcastically: "Hey, Miss Chang'an is here. It's such a rare visitor. Come in and sit down for a while and talk to the old lady.
Let’s talk.”
Luo Changan said calmly: "There is a lot of work in the dragon's dormitory, and I can't live without people for a while. I have to go back to work now, so I won't stay any longer."
"If you don't stay much, I won't keep you anymore." Aunt Gui issued the order to expel the guests and rolled her eyes.
However, Luo Changan was not dissuaded and said politely: "Just now, Xiao Tao said that the bamboo pole hooks here have not been used up yet. It happened that there was a lot of snow on the trees at the gate of the dragon dormitory. I didn't have anything suitable to knock on at the moment. I
Come and ask if it has been used up here. If not, I will take it back and use it, and then teach Xiaotao to bring it to grandma for use."
Aunt Gui deliberately made things difficult, "It needs to be used right now. If you take it away, it will delay things here. If there is anything that doesn't fit your hand, you can set up a ladder on the tree trunk and climb higher to use a stick to beat the snow.
That's it. It's just that the girl finds it troublesome, right? She's not a wealthy lady pretending to be aloof."
"The things I made by myself are not for the public. They are just for my convenience. Since I have a bamboo pole, why should I climb a ladder?" Luo Changan tightened her hands. This woman was really messing around and said in a leisurely manner.
: "If you want to use it right now, then go ahead and use it. I'll just wait here for an hour or three."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Gui stood up quickly: "Why are you staring at me? Who do you think you are? Yuliu Palace went to lend you something to show your face. When you borrowed it, you didn't lend it to others sincerely. Now,
You want to take it back but you have such a bad attitude. Luo Changan, please don't be too arrogant."
