Concubine Hanhan's Concubine Gongdou

Chapter 72
"Bring it, little lord, look." Xiaoqing was also very excited, and took out a linen cloth bag from his arms, the cloth bag was very sturdy.

Ever since the bag was captured by Lord Long Live, Lotus asked Xiaoqing to sew a cloth bag. The bamboo basket was too conspicuous. Later, the crime tool was replaced by a cloth bag.

Xiaoqing was very excited, as if she had returned to the time when she and the little master depended on each other for life. They came to the imperial garden to fight the autumn wind when they were full and had nothing to do. When they found something to eat, they were happiest.

It was the first time that Xiaojizi encountered this situation.

He originally came here on an order to supply ingredients. Since he came, Canglan Academy has lived a prosperous life, and Lianhua and Xiaoqing rarely come to the Imperial Garden to commit crimes, so he has never experienced such a thing.

Shaking off the cloth bag, the two of them skillfully started picking flowers, very excited, as if they saw osmanthus cake.

Xiaoqing looked around while picking, to prevent the little eunuch in charge of the garden from seeing them and entangling them and crying.

The little eunuchs in the Royal Garden are most afraid of them visiting the garden. Every time they see them strolling, they watch them vigilantly. As long as they are found, no matter which intersection they go to, there will be a little eunuch who laments that it is not easy to grow flowers, and it is even more difficult to protect them. , they could hear calluses in their ears.

Seeing Xiaojizi stunned, Xiaoqing pushed him over and said, "You are stupid, what are you doing without helping to pick the pestle?"

"Oh..." Little Jizi still didn't know the situation, picked up a few, and suddenly reacted: "Little Master, are we stealing flowers?"

Hearing this, Lianhua became unhappy, and with a straight face and akimbo, he taught a righteous lesson: "Little Jizi, you are wrong, if we don't pick this flower, it will fall to the ground. After cleaning the maids and eunuchs, we are doing good things now, not stealing, understand?"

Little Jizi was choked, the little master said something very reasonable, but he couldn't refute, well, he had to join the business of picking sweet-scented osmanthus.

Just after picking it for a while, Xiaoqing pricked her ears and listened. It seemed that someone was coming this way, so she hurriedly reminded Lotus in a low voice.

Lianhua hurriedly greeted the two of them to hide the bags and pretended to enjoy the flowers seriously, but the osmanthus tree behind them was already bald...

There was a conversation, and it was heard that it was a few concubines in the harem, only to hear them say:
"Sister, what kind of material are you wearing? Why haven't you seen it before?"

"Sister, I'm just an ordinary silk satin. If you like it, my sister will ask someone to give you a few horses. It's not worth anything."

"Then sister thanked my sister."

"Sister, you're very kind. When it comes to the best material, it's Jiangnan silk. I heard that there are only less than ten pieces of silk that are produced every year."

"So few? Didn't Jia Cairen from the side hall of Liushuang Temple pass through?"

After listening to a few words, Lianhua recognized their voices. They were Zhao Meiren, Sun Cai and Zhou Chang. She was very impressed by these people.

When a few people were about to approach the corner where Lianhua was, Lianhua motioned them to stand behind her and wait by the roadside.

Several people did not find Lotus and they continued to talk.

Sun Cairen laughed out loud, and Zhou Changzai laughed too.

Zhao Meiren stopped and asked inexplicably, "This is my sister?" She didn't tell any jokes, right?

"Don't blame my sister, I just thought of something interesting, so my sister couldn't help laughing." Sun Cairen said softly, with a Jiangnan accent.

Zhao Meiren asked curiously, "What's the fun?"

Zhou Chang was pulling Zhao Meiren, and said in a low voice: "Jia Cairen is wearing fake silk."

"What? No, I saw her so proud that time, how can it be fake." Zhao Meiren asked in surprise, wearing a fake, how rude!
Sun Cairen walked to the other side of Zhao Meiren and said, "Sister doesn't know anything. Sister Zhou and I can recognize the real celestial silk and the fake celestial silk at a glance."

Although Zhou Changzai's grade is lower than that of Sun Cairen, but because a few people are good friends and Sun Cairen is younger than Zhou Changzai, he doesn't care so much and calls Zhou Changzai sister.

so smart?Zhao Meiren looked at Zhou Changzai.

Zhou Changzai nodded with a smile, and said, "Although the real celestial silk looks similar to the fake silk, when the sun shines, the fake celestial silk will be dull in color, while the real silk will emit a hazy brilliance, the brilliance is soft and not dazzling. , very beautiful, I think it was Jia Cairen who took the fake celestial silk for real."

Sun Cairen was born in a big family in the south of the Yangtze River. She has all the good things in the family, and she has also been able to see Tiancansi.

Zhou Chang is in business at home, and her family is also involved in the raw silk and cloth business, so she naturally knows a thing or two.

Zhao Meiren nodded clearly: "In this way, the fake silk that Jia Cairen wears is still publicized everywhere."

Several people looked at each other, covered their mouths and laughed.

Lianhua and the others were just around the corner and were blocked by several osmanthus trees, so these whisperers hadn't found them yet.

I was forced to listen to the footsteps of the wall once, and the lotus flower didn't come out at this time, and it didn't come out.

When Lianhua and the others quietly retreated, Zhao Meiren and the others continued the topic just now:

Zhou Changzai said: "Speaking of celestial silk, I heard that Jiangnan has donated six pieces of high-quality celestial silk to the palace this year, and the day before yesterday, Long Live Lord gave three to the noble concubine." Speaking of which, Zhou Changzai was a little confused Depressed, it was difficult for them to even see Lord Long live.

Zhao Meiren said with emotion: "Long live Lord is really fond of the noble concubine, and if there is anything good, you should give it to the goddess first."

Sun Cairen was also a little melancholy, and he said enviously: "Yesterday, the noble concubine was called to bed. I didn't expect Long Live Master to call the bed for so long, and the first to call the bed."

Several people said that their interest here was a lot lacking, and they all became silent. It is false to say that they are not envious, but it is useless to be envious. Who makes people a noble concubine?

Hearing this from the corner, Xiaoqing and Xiaojizi looked at Lianhua with uneasiness in their eyes, Long Live Lord and Xiaozhu...

Lianhua smiled comfortingly at them, feeling gloomy, a little sour and astringent. Although she had made a lot of mental preparations and persuaded herself to let it go countless times, when she heard the news, she couldn't help but feel depressed.

Lotus sniffed, restraining herself not to think any more, it was a matter of course, what did she want to do.

A few people walked to the corner, and suddenly saw a few figures standing silently a dozen paces away.

Zhao Meiren was startled and exclaimed, "Who is there?"

The two sides finally met, and Lianhua took Xiaoqing and Xiaojizi to salutation: "I have seen the three goddesses, and the goddess is blessed."

Sun Cairen took a step forward and looked at it, and said, "Sneaky, who am I supposed to be? It turns out that the first name at the flower viewing banquet, Lian, agreed."

A few days have passed since the flower viewing banquet. Sun Cairen remembered this lotus promise very clearly.

If nothing happened that day, she had a great hope of winning the title. Unfortunately, someone came out to mess up the situation and angered Mr. Long live. Although it was Li Meiren's first choice, Sun Cairen didn't like this Lian's promise.

Seeing the lotus at this time, naturally there is no good tone, and Jiangnan Ruanyu's accent is sharp.

　Lotus: You have one, I have one

　　Xiaoqing: You have a hand, a slave

　　The two looked at the empty-handed little Jizi at the same time: what about yours?

　　Xiaojizi: Huh?Little Master, the three generations of slave ancestors did not steal flowers...

　　Lianhua and Xiaoqing looked at each other and said, "Sure, Xiaoqing, go back and make sweet-scented osmanthus cake and don't give it to Xiaojizi.
　　Xiaoqing: Okay, little master, I don't know how much food I save by saving Xiaojizi's share.
　　Little Jizi wailed, "My lord, I was wrong, what kind of flowers are you trying to steal, whether to steal chrysanthemums or not, the servants will steal the latest varieties of chrysanthemums with you?
　　Lotus: Yes, chrysanthemum tea with sweet-scented osmanthus cake, yes
