Chapter 15 Chapter 15
On the second day, Mianwu still didn't see Wuyou, so Xie Xuanwei told her not to send it off.
Mianwu was puzzled, but after thinking about it carefully, she didn't offend the prince, why couldn't she see Wuyou?But he didn't dare to ask Xie Xuanwei, for fear of touching his mind.But the calmer Xie Xuanwei became, the more distressed she felt, and felt that her girl was becoming less and less talkative.Every day, just go to the small study, play the piano and draw pictures, sighing long and short.
I don't know who spread the news, the servants talked about it, and in the end they spread the rumors, and it turned out that the crown prince has a new love, and the fourth girl is about to be divorced before they get married.
For half a month, the woman who guarded the door never saw a centimeter of things from the prince, and she couldn't receive any more rewards, and she felt faintly dissatisfied.When drinking with my old sister, I casually said a few words.The rumors are even worse, saying that the prince has asked for an order to divorce.
When Mianwu was feeding the bird, she heard a little girl say: "I heard that the prince has asked for an order to divorce, but our old master went to the palace to make trouble, so he suppressed it."
Another girl exclaimed: "How is it possible? Who did you hear that from?"
The girl said complacently: "Hmph, my mother gets along well with Wang Momo who guards the corner gate, can what she said be false?"
When Mianwu heard this, she was furious, and hated the prince for a while, and changed her heart faster than the sky, which ruined the good girl's reputation.So he made a face, and went to the back of the rockery to catch that tongue-twisting girl.
Just as Mianwu walked down the corridor, she was hugged by someone and dragged into the room. When she looked back, it was Lan Shuang.
Mian Wuqi's eyebrows and eyes changed, and he said angrily: "What are you stopping me for? See if I don't tear their mouths of rumors and pull out their tongues!"
Lan Shuang closed the door, and said softly: "In the past, none of us could compare to your calmness and alertness. Why are you in a daze now? You went to catch it, and there was a commotion. Doesn't the girl know?"
When Mianwu heard this, she looked away angrily, Lan Shuang took her hand, and persuaded: "My good sister, we all have the same heart. You can't make the girl unhappy just because of a momentary rumor. "
Mianwu was silent, and Lan Shuang said again: "These two girls are dedicated to sweeping the courtyard, and I will let them clean the latrine at night. There is also the woman who guards the door. After the prince delivers things, he will go through another door Don't be angry." Seeing that Mianwu didn't speak, Lan Shuang said again: "The prince may have something to do. He is busy. Wuyou must not be free, maybe In two days, this thing will be soft again, and by that time, the face of that screwdriver will be smashed." Lan Shuang said and stuffed a piece of sugar into the mouth of the cotton mist.
After being persuaded for a while, Mianwu felt a little better, Lan Shuang was afraid of what the two girls would say, so she let Mianwu go out for a walk.He opened the door by himself, stood at the door and shouted: "Hongye, Lujin, you two go and clean up the toilet."
As soon as Hongye heard this, she turned out from behind the rockery, put her hands on her hips and said, "Someone cleans the latrine, why do you ask us to clean it?"
Lan Shuang said: "Because the two of you will clean up from now on."
That Hongye was originally a pungent person, when she heard it, she immediately dropped the broom in her hand, pulled her neck and shouted: "It's just a big girl who is not favored, why do you make me work?"
Lan Shuang stood facing the wind, and said with a smile: "Even if I am not favored, I am also the first-class girl in Yishui Tower, and you are the last girl here to sweep, I really do. If you don't want to sweep, I will come back tonight Grandma, not to mention the toilet, it is the job of waiting for the last girl in Yishui Tower, and you don't have to do it in the future."
Hongye still wanted to talk, but Lujin dragged her away.
Lan Shuang smiled behind them: "Sweep better. If you dare to be lazy, I will let you go to Zhuangzi to sweep the pigsty."
Xing Yu laughed loudly when she heard this, came out of the room, clapped her hands and said: "I didn't realize that you are so powerful, these two girls are probably going to die of anger."
Lan Shuang said: "You deserve it if you are angry, if you have no ability, you have to bear it." After speaking, she went into the house and went to do things by herself.
But Jiang Wanyu is busy with official business today, so he really has no time.He sat in front of the case, reviewing the memorial with a Chinese ink pen.
There was an endless stream of court ladies passing on meals, but no sound was heard.Wuyou took the silver bowl and chopsticks, tasted them one by one, then put the meal on the desk, knelt aside and bowed his head, saying: "Your Highness, it's time to eat."
Jiang Wanyu nodded and put down the revised memorial.Wuyou asked everyone to retreat, took a cloth towel and wiped his hands for him, paused, and said slowly: "Your Highness has been busy these past few days, and I have heard that the cotton mist from the Crown Princess has come many times."
After hearing this, Jiang Wanyu put down the chopsticks in his hand. Thinking of the hectic past few days and not contacting Xie Xuanwei for more than half a month, he felt both anxious and annoyed.He was so angry that he patted the small case hard, and the bowls and chopsticks on the table moved accordingly, glaring at Wuyou, "Why didn't you remind Ben Gong?"
Wuyou hurriedly fell on the ground, crying: "Your Highness, please calm down. Your Highness has been upside down these few days. This is why I took the time. This servant wanted to tell His Highness."
Jiang Wanyu looked at the table of delicacies from mountains and seas, and felt as if an oil bottle and soy sauce bottle had been poured in his heart, all kinds of flavors stuck in his throat, he lost his appetite, and his brows wrinkled even tighter.He sat in front of the case, took a pen and wrote a letter, informing Xie Xuanwei of his recent situation, and expressed his apology. He was going to send something to make amends, but he couldn't think of what to give for a while.
Jiang Wanyu sealed the envelope, handed it to Wuyou and said, "You don't have to be on duty tomorrow, so give this letter to her." Suddenly thinking of the parrot he raised, he smiled and said, "Give him the little parrot as well." In the past, I was afraid that she could already speak, so I sent it to relieve her boredom. The next time Mianwu comes again, whenever and wherever, I must tell Bengong."
Wuyou crouched down and said: "Yes, the slave knows it's wrong."
In the early morning of the second day, Wuyou went to Xie's mansion, accompanied by two little eunuchs carrying parrots.Wuyou gave the letter and the parrot to Mianwu, and said with a smile: "I hope that my sister will give the princess a lot of good words on behalf of the servant. The servant really feels sorry for the prince's busy work, so he is confused."
As he said that, he was about to bow to Mianwu, but Mianwu hurriedly turned away, and said with a smile: "Elder-in-law has killed your servant, and our girl is also thinking about His Highness. Although His Highness is busy, he must take good care of himself. Baba picked the lotus pod It's a pity that His Highness didn't eat it after sending it over."
Lan Shuang sighed, with regret on her face, she said: "The girl also drew a picture and wrote a poem, how did she know that it was not delivered, and the girl put it away when she came back. Seeing such a lost soul, it really hurts my heart."
After Wuyou heard this, he slapped himself angrily, and said to himself: "Damn it, I didn't go to receive the gift just once, and I missed so much! If His Highness knows, he will definitely make me look good! Now, I really am dead! There is no place to bury me!" The more I thought about it, the more regretful and frightened I became.He stomped his feet and smiled obsequiously at Lanshuang: "I don't know the paintings and poems, can the two sisters help take them out?"
Mianwu is an honest person, just about to say yes, but Lan Shuang gently twisted her wrist, and she fell silent.
Lan Shuang was full of doubts: "Elder-in-law will take a short rest, and the slaves will go back to see if the girl is not there, then it will be easier to take it. If the girl is here, then the servants will find a chance and take it again."
Wuyou listened, patted his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief.He smiled and said: "Thank you two sisters, the slave will wait for the two sisters first."
Lan Shuang smiled and mentioned the parrot, pulled the cotton mist and left.
When the two walked on a small path, Mianwu asked puzzledly: "Young lady didn't put away the painting, it's still in my room! How did you lie to Father-in-law Wuyou?"
Lan Shuang chuckled and said: "You are an honest person, so you don't know it. This is called playing hard to get. The Prince and the girl have a good feeling for each other, and it's normal to hold it in your hand. But our girl is young and has a crazy brain. Hot, plunged into it, and treated the prince with all my heart. As the saying goes, rushing up is not a business. We should also let the prince know what is flustered, and they should also guess about this guesswork Guess, in the future we will be able to compare our hearts."
After hearing this, Mianwu felt that it made sense, so she nodded and said, "That's right, we should let them feel the girl's heart a few days ago!"
The two walked together and strolled around the garden. Lan Shuang waved to a little girl and said, "Go and tell Mr. Wuyou, 'My sister Lanshuang and Mianwu failed to complete the tasks entrusted by my father-in-law. I'm currently working as a servant at the girl's place, and I can't get out. I'll find an opportunity some other day, and I'll hand it over to my father-in-law.'"
The little girl nodded after hearing this, and went bouncing around.
Lan Shuang smiled and said, "Just watch, let them hurry!"
Xie Xuanwei was lying on a wicker chair under the shade of a tree, with a veil covering his face, and was fast asleep.
Mianwu lifted the parrot to the corridor and hung it up. Mianwu turned around and left. The parrot shouted: "Give me something to eat! Give me something to eat!"
After hearing this, Mianwu came back, smiled and grabbed some melon seeds and fed it, "What a clever ghost."
Xie Xuanwei woke up in a daze, lying on the rattan chair, took off the veil, and opened his eyes to see a parrot with bright fur and elf.He asked, "Who sent it?"
Mianwu helped him up, poured sour plum soup for him, and said with a smile: "The prince sent someone to deliver it just now, saying it was for the girl to relieve her boredom." Then she handed the letter to him.
Xie Xuanwei threw the letter aside and drank the sour plum soup in one go. He was woken up, feeling a little unhappy, yawned and said, "What's so interesting about birds?" After speaking, he lay down again, leaning on the wicker chair On the ground, looking at the parrot, the parrot was cracking melon seeds in its beak, and looked at him with wide eyes.Xie Xuanwei said: "What are you looking at? You idiot, don't you know someone else is sleeping?" Turned over, and continued to sleep again.
Although Mianwu is a girl, Xie Xuanwei has always been kind-hearted and has never been said a single harsh word. Now she just feels embarrassed, so she has to take the parrot elsewhere.
Lan Shuang walked with her, turned a corner, and said in a low voice: "It was sweltering last night, and the girl didn't go to bed until five o'clock. She was already heavy in bed, so she didn't mean to talk about you."
Lan Shuang hung up the parrot and teased it with something.
Mianwu sighed and said: "Is it my fault? I was just a girl. Because of the girl's good temper, I think of myself very high, and there is nothing wronged. Compared with those who beat and scold slaves at every turn, our girl is really a living Bodhisattva!" "
It happened that Xuezhan came, she put down the ice bucket in her hand, waved her hands and said with a smile: "He is a living Bodhisattva? He is a monster or something!"
Lan Shuang hurried to help her carry it together.
Xuezhan said again: "Mengmeng is hard-spoken and soft-hearted. After talking about you, he can't let it go. Let me bring ice for you to eat."
Mianwu hurriedly said: "Sister Xuezhan has broken me. I am a slave. The master didn't say anything about me. Even if he did, it should be done." After another burst of chanting, he said: "Our girl is a kind-hearted person. Ice is so rare, but it is also eaten by slaves, even if slaves are utterly insane, they still can't afford it."
Xuezhan waved his hands and said with a smile: "He himself can't sleep and complains that the bed is crooked. It's hot today, but he's too afraid of the heat. I need to put more ice on him tonight." Xuezhan fanned the wind with a handkerchief , looked up at the scorching sun, and murmured: "I'm afraid it will be hot tonight, he should lose his temper again."
At lunch, Xie Xuanwei did not want to eat after taking two mouthfuls, and went into the small study, Xuezhan went to serve him ice, and ordered Mianwu and Lanshuang to fan him one from the left and the other from the right.
