Chapter 5 Chapter 5 Peach Forest

I had no dreams until dawn. My newly married husband seemed to be planning to snub me as a bride. I didn't go back to my room to sleep last night, so my "bridal chamber wedding night" was over. I inadvertently thought of all kinds of rumors in the market again, I thought of those big warm hands, I thought of that quiet and weird wedding, and I was faintly curious about that Jun Huangyue. There was a regular knock on the door. "Sister, just now Prince Ding'an sent someone to tell you that you don't have to go to the front hall to serve him tea. It is said that the emperor summoned Prince Ding'an to enter the palace early in the morning. Also, Director Li of the mansion is begging to see him outside the door. .”

I was a little surprised, I tidied up my appearance a little and walked to the door.A man in his late forties, with a yellow face and short beard, and in a brown gown stood at the foot of the stone steps outside the door with his hands down, his eyebrows lowered, his expression flat. "Mr. Li?" I asked with a smile on my face. "Yes, madam. The old slave Li Qing has something to ask to see madam." His voice was slow, and his posture was neither humble nor overbearing. "Then hurry up and enter the house, the weather in early spring is very cold." I turned sideways and made an inviting gesture, which gave the manager enough face.

"It's better for Madam to invite you first, please greet me personally, this old slave is already very frightened." He bowed and said frightened words, but his expression and tone remained calm. I smiled in my heart, said nothing more, turned around and walked ahead. I sat down at the large carved lacquer table in the front hall, and Laixi quickly made two cups of tea. Mr. Li refused my intention to let him sit down, and stood aside stubbornly, so I gave up and asked him why he came. He first described the general situation of the palace, including the locations and names of the courtyards and the distribution of the number of servants in the palace, etc. I noticed that he said that Jun Huangyue had always lived in the "Quiet Garden" in the northwest, and the one I live in now "Lanxiangyuan" is on the east side of the palace.

It seems that the news that I fell out of favor as soon as I entered the door will soon spread in the palace. After talking unhurriedly for half an hour, Li Qing finally took out a few account books from his pocket and put them on the table. "These are the records of the various expenses and expenditures of the palace on weekdays, the distribution of monthly money in various courtyards, etc. One of them is a detailed list of the silver, jewelry and jade in the treasury of the palace. The son ordered that these will be handed over to the madam in the future." "Did Manager Li do all these things before?" I held the tea in my hand and didn't look through those brochures.

"Yes, nearly twenty years." When he spoke, his expression was respectful, and he didn't show any contempt for me, a newcomer who just entered the door, because of his qualifications.It seems that the trust of the two generations of the royal family in him is not without reason. "In the future, please trouble Manager Li to continue to deal with these matters. I'm young and ignorant, and I'm new here. I can't take on the important task of being a prince." I still don't know what Jun Huangyue's intentions are, so I decided to wait and see what happens, and Li Qing has controlled the finances of the palace for more than 20 years, no matter how loyal he is, he can't be willing to let go of the power in his hands right away, I am happy to be a favor.

"This is the son's confession..." Li Qing looked troubled. I understood the meaning of his words, smiled and said: "You don't have to worry, Shizi, if he asks, you can just put it all on me." Li Qing felt at ease after hearing my assurance, picked up the account books on the table and prepared to leave. "Wait, Mr. Li, you have worked so hard for me, I will give this box to you to store the account books in the future. I will not be afraid of being bitten by water and insects. It is my thanks to you." I handed over to Li Qing a box carved from white jade, which I dug out from the dowry, and was originally intended to be handed over to Laixi to store the bank notes.The manager Li in front of him has to deal with it well. Throughout the ages, giving gifts should be the fastest way to win over feelings.

"This is what old slaves should do. Madam, you are too polite." Li Qing declined. "Take it. Although my things are not as good as the ones in the palace treasury, they are still in my mind. Does Mr. Li really look down on you?" I said something on the scene, and found him an upright step Down. "Thank you ma'am, if you can use this old slave in the future, you can just send someone to pass on a message." Li Qing showed his first smile after seeing me. "By the way," he added as if thinking of something, "Recently, the peach blossoms in the woods to the west have bloomed. The pink and pink ones are really beautiful. If Madam is in a good mood, you can go and see them."

My morning's work was finally not in vain, and what he said really meant a lot. For a bride who can't see her husband's shadow during the wedding night, the greatest comfort is to see her husband's figure. He is clearly implying that I, Jun Huangyue, may appear in the forest to the west. I sent Li Qing out the door with a smile on my face, and Laixi complained behind me that he came too early, so I didn't even have breakfast. I listened but laughed and said nothing, Laixi, who was pure in heart, would never have thought that Li Qing was appointed to come so early on purpose.How could the majestic chief executive be so ignorant of the rules and come to see me on the first morning of the wedding?Someone behind the scenes must have wanted to see how emaciated a woman I was when I was left out on the wedding night, but I let him down. I slept very well last night, and he had to see if I would accept it if he wanted to slap me.

"Sister, what shall we do after dinner?" Laixi asked me while fiddling with the late breakfast. "Let's take a stroll around the palace." I decided to go to the place Li Qing said. I prevented Laixi from making a bun on my head again, and tied my long hair behind my head with a white jade hairpin.I also had long hair in my previous life, and I am very skilled in using hair pins to tie my hair, and I can tie it into many styles. Zhou Yunxin's hair is black and long, smooth and soft, and the hair quality is super good. This is what I am most satisfied with about this body besides the skin.Thinking that I would see a lot of peach blossoms in the place I was going to, I chose a pink dress and put on a white fox fur cloak, and put on some lipstick.

All the way to the west, I stopped and stopped, and when I passed through another moon cave gate, my eyes suddenly lit up, and I finally saw the large sea of ​​pink flowers.In the woods that can't be seen, all the peach blossoms are in full bloom, and the full branches of flowers are like densely knotted pink satin, which seems to be burning in the bright spring.The pointed and long leaves can't hide the spring, and spit out a piece of fresh green.If you look carefully, you can even see butterflies flying back and forth among the flowers. I wanted to sing a poem in response to the occasion, but I couldn’t remember the poem about peach blossoms after scratching my stomach. I only vaguely remembered the sentence "Peach blossoms reflect red on the face of a person", and I shook my head in frustration. I took my joy to the depths of the forest go.

It seems that there was a small spring rain last night, and the soil on the ground was a little wet. I carefully avoided the muddy places, jumped around in this large piece of intoxicating pink and green, bumped into the branches from time to time, It brought bursts of pink flower rain, disturbing the butterflies fluttering around. I laughed loudly and happily. The charming spring scenery in the peach forest made me feel good. I couldn’t help being very grateful for Li Qing’s recommendation. No matter what his original purpose was, the scenery in this forest is really worth watching. Walking slowly to the end of the forest, a wooden hut stands in front of you, the door is closed, and there is a large open space in front of the house. There is a stone table next to the open space, and a few stone benches are scattered around. I looked around and found nothing unusual, so I sat down at the stone table, thinking it was time to take a rest after walking for so long. Laixi also sat down beside me, her big round eyes couldn't hide her curiosity about the wooden house behind her. "Sister, there is such a simple house in the palace." "Do you think it's crude? I don't think so. You can see that its entire structure is completely inlaid according to the shape of the wood itself without any other utensils." I told Laixi that I saw this place for the first time. The feeling of the house, "These woods have grown for thousands of years. It is not easy to find them all, and to make the most of them. The owner of this house must have put a lot of thought into it, and he is a It took very patient and smart people to finally build this wooden house." "These unremarkable trees have grown for thousands of years! Sister, how do you know?" Laixi widened her eyes and exclaimed, full of doubts. I looked at her amusedly, this question could be answered by any elementary school student in my previous life, but it is a big mystery in this time and space. "There are circles of imprints on the sawn-off section of the tree, which are the annual rings of the tree. Counting the number of rings on the cross-section of the wood can tell how many years the wood has grown. These are all It’s what I read in ancient books.” Fortunately, Zhou Yunxin has lived for more than ten years, and her greatest hobby is reading books. If I talk about some theories of my previous life in the future, I can use the excuse that I read them from ancient books. "Then sister, why can you tell at a glance that every piece of wood here has thousands of rings? If it were me, the annual rings on just one piece of wood would be enough for me to count until dark." Ask about addiction. It is impossible for me to tell her that when I visited the scenic spots in college, I visited the annual rings of the thousand-year-old wood. The number of rings in the wood in front of me is only a lot more than what I saw at the time, and it must be more than a thousand years old. "Your sister and I are so smart, I can tell there are thousands of circles at a glance." I had no choice but to bluff her, "This house is very distinctive, with a pure natural beauty, very simple and beautiful, just this It can be seen that the owner's exquisite mind is in this design, and it can also be inferred that his vision is quite high, and some wood less than a thousand years old will not be mixed in to destroy this perfection." The latter sentence did not lie to her, my intuition told me that was the case. "Sister, you are amazing. A wooden house can tell so many truths." Laixi's eyes are full of admiration and admiration. This girl can reflect everything in her big eyes. I really like her more and more.97 protected copyright!Respect the author! "Then shall we go into the house and have a look?" Her words were full of joy. "No, it's too impolite to ask yourself to come in, let's talk about it later when there is a chance." I vaguely resisted approaching that room in my heart, and I didn't have the courage to reveal the secret when it was in front of me. Let it be, I will always know when I should know. "Let's go, it's time to go back to have lunch." I patted my buttocks and stood up. The unladylike action drew Laixi's eyes. Before she could start nagging, I quickly ran towards the direction I came from, and her helpless cry came from behind me.
