284, Flowers and Fruits
There is always a time when the rain stops.
People always say goodbye.
Gong Basheng said: "Xiaoxiao wants to listen to music in the future, so you can come to the instrument team to find me at any time."
"What is the name of Mr. Gong's team?" Since Gong Basheng is here, Xiaoxiao is too lazy to ask someone else for inquiries in the future.
"The east wind last night." Gong Basheng said in a tone of "not worthy of being told by outsiders".
The east wind last night, and when she heard this name, the first thing Xiaoxiao thought of was: "The east wind was again last night."
Gong Basheng only laughed but said nothing.
Xiaoxiao did not read the "home country is unbearable to look back at the moonlight" later. She just felt that this name was a bit sad.
"Thank you, sir." Xiaoxiao said goodbye to Gong Basheng and walked out of Basheng Pavilion.
It seemed like another world outside the pavilion. Many guests came out of Lingou Mountain House not far away. They became lively all of a sudden. Xiaoxiao felt the colorful lights in front of him and the voices were full of people.
Looking back at the Eight-Speaking Pavilion, half of the vines were hidden, and a wind lamp was shrouded??
Everything just now seemed like a dream.
Xiaoxiao was afraid that he would blink his eyes and turn around, and the Eight Sound Pavilion would disappear out of thin air.
Fortunately, it is still there.
Xiaoxiao reached out and called the girl who was carrying lanterns and asked her to shine for herself. She returned to Xia Shizhai, where she lived tonight.
Although late at night, it could not stop the excitement of the guests. It was just like people avoiding Ding Jin wherever they went. The darkness and loneliness along the way was like fortune-telling people.
There are rainbow doors made of various glass lamps in the distance. People pass through it from inside, as if walking through the flowing light tunnel. This is also one of the unique night scenes of the Wen Family Rose Banquet.
Xiaoxiao saw a familiar figure beside the Rainbow Door. The tall and wide woman, who is not her second sister Huanyan?
The man standing next to Huanyan was still wearing the slutch scarf on his head, which was Mr. Weng.
Huanyan raised her hand and pointed at the dazzling rainbow doors. Although she couldn't see its expression clearly, she could feel the joy that was filled with from the inside out.
Xiaoxiao sighed deeply in his heart. Some things that should happen will always happen, and they can't escape them.
When I returned to Xia Shizhai, Xiao Di'er had not come back yet.
The girl from the Wen family brought hot tea: "I just saw Sister Xiao Dier outside, and I was so hurried that I didn't know what was going on."
Xiaoxiao was also puzzled that Xiao Dier had always been a steady girl and had never had such a problem in serving her in the past few days.
Xiaoxiao stood by the window and stared at the night view outside. He didn't know what he was thinking. Just now, there was some sporadic rain on his body, and all of them were dry after the wind. He turned around and took out a rhinoceros horn comb from the makeup box to open his hair. He touched the hairpin in his hair with his hand, and remembered the rose tonight.
Now when I hold it in my hand and look closely with the light, I see a long branch of "Hidden Plum in the Snow" snow-white rose. It gradually turns beautiful red at the core of the flower. The petals are layered, as if there are thousands of petals, the leaves are dark green, and the posture is graceful.
There were a few large and small earth-fixed bottles on the table. In order to raise the flowers in the flower basket, Xiaoxiao specially ordered the people to find them. After careful selection, he chose a slender bottle from them and inserted the rose.
Then he inserted the flowers in the flower basket into other bottles in a staggered manner. Brother Zhonglun remembered what he said today and chose a flower basket without roses.
Xiaoxiao used a comb to pass through her hair and simply sported it. Seeing the cute jasmine fragrance in the vase, she chose a few and inserted them on her hair bun.
"Miss Tang has jasmine here?" A girl from the Wen family walked in and brought the toiletries: "We Fourth Master just now have someone to send some jasmine balls to the girl."
"Brother Wen?" Aren't those jasmine balls hanging on the bed tent? Xiaoxiao subconsciously looked at his bed. Long green silk threads hung outside the tent of the snow-melted yarn, and snow-white and cute jasmine balls were tied to the top.
The girl from Wen's family smiled and said, "The goose pears in the Fourth Master's yard are the best at making flower balls. Today, the girls who guard the yard have nothing to do. The jasmine blooms just in the right place, so they made many jasmine balls in the room. Seeing that the fourth master was doing well, he gave some to the girl and Wei."
Xiaoxiao: I said, if grapefruit is just given to me, that would be a strange thing.
Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Brother Wen is in love. What a coincidence, there is a girl in my yard, also called Eli. Brother Wen's Eli is naturally taken from the fragrance of Eli from the Master Li. It is not like my Eli pear, but it is just a snack to quench thirst."
After hearing this, the girl from the Wen family smiled and said, "From my maid's name, it's sweet to get it."
According to the saying, if you have a favor and a favor, Xiaoxiao should have a gift.
Looking around, they were all from the Wen family. Such a gift for borrowing flowers to offer Buddhist tribute is ridiculous.
"It's time to give Brother Wen a gift, but now I can only reply to Zhang Jianzi." Xiaoxiao said and opened the suitcase. Today, Senior Sister Xia Liang focused on bringing herself some beautiful colored papers, selected a few pages of bamboo shadow papers from it, and came to the table.
The girl from the Wen family was very sensible and had already polished the ink aside. Xiaoxiao sat down and thought about it for a while before lifting the pen and writing slowly:
The plants and trees are deep, and the summer night is long.
There is no way to write and ink, and it is useless to think about it.
Lycius ice basin, jasmine snow tent.
Flowers and fruits explain the words, relieve heat and coolness.
The general meaning is: On such a sleepless summer night, I received the jasmine balls you sent. I wanted to write a thank you letter, but I didn’t have any inspiration... Forget it, I’d better give you some real things and send you a plate of lychees from me to eat. Anyway, lychees and jasmine are good products to cool down and cool down.
Xiaoxiao folded the thank-you letter and asked the girl to take the red lychees on the white agate plate with it. The lychees were icy and were emitting a cool air.
"Miss Tang is so polite." The girl took the letter with both hands and put it away, and smiled and took the lychees.
The girl walked out of Xia Shizhai's door, walked all the way through Qiuquanzhai and Dongsongzhai, walked through the corridor of the guest room, and greeted the little girl inside: "Get me a tray quickly! The agate plate is so cold! The fingers are frozen!" He said that, and quickly put Bingbing's plate on the table.
The little girl quickly brought a bamboo plate and came over: "Sister Fu Zhu can see this?"
"But is there any black paint?" Fu Zhu only felt that the bamboo plate was too simple and did not match the agate plate. She was afraid that the little girl would think she was picky, so she said something else: "This is something to be given to the Fourth Master."
The little girl looked for the plate and said, "Didn't my sister work in the girl's Pearl House? How could she deliver lychees to the Fourth Master now?"
Fu Zhu sighed and smiled, "It's not that the banquet is full of grand occasions and there are not enough staff, so I assigned me to the guest room to help."
"My godmother praised my sister before, and asked us to learn from you, and we've got to know each other. In just over two months, we've mentioned it from third-class to second-class!" The little girl said while finding two black lacquer trays: "Unfortunately, there is no pure black lacquer, this is just black lacquer gold-painted, this is just mother-of-pearl."
Fu Zhu looked at the two trays carefully: one was round, with thin golden silk hooking the big banana leaves; the other was rectangular, with small flowers as thin as paper, and when you looked closely, it turned out to be jasmine.
Fu Zhu smiled slightly and chose the rectangular one: "This agate plate is round and is not suitable to be placed on a round tray. It's better to use this square one."
The little girl looked at the red lychees on the agate plate with her eyes dripping. One big and one small, two strings, each of which was as big as a baby's fist. There were always seventy or eighty pieces of these two strings, exuding a very sweet and sweet aroma. But one or two fell off. The little girl swallowed: "I haven't eaten lychees yet. I'll let me taste these two pieces of them fall off."
Fu Zhu wanted to agree, but then thought for a while and said, "It's not that I'm stingy, but... the guest attached a letter to the Fourth Master, which stated that it was 88 pieces. We can't afford to take one less." The lychee fell down, and the bald branch was still there. Although the Fourth Master was not a stingy person, he was particularly serious about some things.
Although the Jasmine Ball was given to the two girls, the ability to let the fourth master of the Wen family give such a thing to the girl is enough to show that this move is different. Therefore, no matter which girl’s return gift is given, you must not neglect it.
Fu Zhu smiled and said, "Little Greedy Cat, there are some lychees at today's banquet, and we have a large bunch of them left in our room! I'll ask Xiao Kui'er to deliver them to you later! Also, a pack of beeswax stone flower cake and red fruit plum blossom crisps are left, and we will deliver them to you together at that time!"
After all, the little girl was young and didn't hear the mystery. She knew that some food was good, so she nodded vigorously and said, "Then I'll bother sister! I heard from the girls at the banquet that they would eat at the dinner today, with all kinds of foods, eating whatever they want, and eating as much as they want! Is this true?"
"I didn't see you in person, I heard that," Fu Zhu smiled slightly, "I told me, it would be better if we don't serve you at the banquet, otherwise, if we eat and watch, we're hungry, wouldn't it be enough to swallow your saliva! Those who serve you in the guest room like you will get a reward! The gilding thing on that side is not very affordable."
The little girl heard it made sense and nodded repeatedly: "Sister is very polite when she says anything. No wonder my godmother asked us to learn from you!"
"Don't say that, we have to learn a lot. Which first-class girl in the room should not have thousands of hearts!" As he said that, he patted the little girl's shoulder and whispered: "I'll ask Xiao Kui'er to bring half a Cordyceps duck to serve Mama Li."
Madam Li is the little girl's godmother. She has the most goddaughters in the mansion. The girl's confidant girl, Pang Xin, is her goddaughter. Speaking of which, Fu Zhu is also making a living under the hands of these big girls. It is a natural thing to borrow flowers and offer Buddha half a duck to her godmother.
Fu Zhu held the tray and walked towards Shunyunjuxing. When he walked into the yard, he took the initiative to hand over the tray to the girl in the yard: "This is a gift from Miss Tang to the Fourth Master, and there is also a page of letters here."
The girl looked at Fu Zhu: "Come in with me."
So Fu Zhu lowered her head and followed him into the door of the Fourth Master's house.
This was the first time Fu Zhu entered the young master's house, and she felt a fresh and pleasant scent inside, mixed with a faint smell of ink.
Fu Zhu knew the rules in the young master's room very well, and he only stared at the tip of his shoes. The young master didn't dare to raise his head completely when he asked.
"Miss Tang is awake?!" Master Wen was very surprised.
Fu Zhu instantly captured the difference between the Fourth Master's tone and the past, cleared her throat and said, "The girl woke up at the hour of Hai. She felt stuffy for a while, so she went out for a walk. When she returned to the room, she saw the jasmine balls given by the Fourth Master, so she picked up a pen and replied to the Fourth Master, and asked her servant to bring the plate of lychees over, which was considered as a return gift from the girl."
Fu Zhu's name is very clever. If you avoid the word "Tang" and just talk about girls, you will look very friendly, as if you are from Miss Tang's side. At this moment, Master Wen Si should be happy with everything around Miss Tang.
Fu Zhu put the letter paper on the table with both hands. Miss Tang was a smart person. She did not put the letter in the envelope, nor did she fold the letter into a unique style like Fang Sheng and Plum Blossoms. She just folded it openly and twice, but she was open and honest. But a thank-you word, nothing shameful.
The Fourth Master read the letter for a long time.
Fu Zhu clearly remembered that Miss Tang had written more than a dozen words.
I thought it was the one who gave lychees to be kind, but now it seems that the one who gave jasmine balls is even more kind.
Written quickly and read for a long time.
Fu Zhu smiled secretly, waiting for the Fourth Master's order.
With the usual reserve of Master Wen, he should not return the tribute again.
The cool voice of Master Wen's Fourth Master came: "Miss Tang has trouble. It's late at night. You can wait for the girl to rest early."
"Yes, Fourth Master." Fu Zhu nodded and said yes, looking back at the fourth master's servant Yu Jin, secretly hating him for not being able to get it, so he simply said directly: "I will take this tray and agate plate back to Xia Shizhai..." As he said that, he glanced at the girl beside him.
Fortunately, this girl is smart: "We can't give Miss Tang an empty plate, so the Fourth Master will pretend to be something for Miss Tang."
Wen Siye's voice was filled with a smile: "It's better to put some red fruits in the white agate plate."
"The agate grapes are red and look good, and they are red in the fresh peach powder, which is also good." The girl suggested.
Master Wen said, "Send peaches, and taste a piece at night will not hurt your spleen and stomach."
Fu Zhu has never heard of words like "I am a wooden peach", but he always knows "repaying a peach" because this peach has meaning anyway, Fu Zhu believes.
A few fresh peaches are arranged in beautiful shapes and placed on an agate plate, which is very pleasing to the eye.
Fu Zhu took the tray: "I'm going now. Does the Fourth Master have any explanation?" My Fourth Master, I will give you another chance.
Master Wen paused and said, "Tell her that the lychees are very sweet."
"Yes, I will bring the conversation to you." Fu Zhu asked the young master to rest assured, so he left with a tray.
...
In this case, Xiaoxiao had just finished washing up and Xiao Dier came back.
"Damn it, leave the girl alone in the garden at night!" As soon as Xiao Di'er entered the house, she knelt down for Xiaoxiao.
Xiaoxiao asked the other girls to go out and personally helped Xiao Dier up: "But what happened?"
Xiao Dier's expression was a serious expression that she had never seen before: "Girl, I just saw the cat's eyes."
"Maoyan'er?"
