Leader Lan Palace

Chapter 688 Volume Two 206 (3 more)
Wanxi didn't pay much attention at first, she just thought it was because her illness was almost cured, so there was no need for Lan Pei to come over every day to take care of her as before.

After a few more days like this, Wanxi still couldn't sit still.He ordered Xianchun to say, "Accompany me to see Jiufujin."
.
Because she was worried that the disease would pass on to others, Wanxi has not voluntarily left the gate of her own yard, nor has she been to Lan Pei and Zhuanxiang's yard.Today, this is the first time.

Wanxi herself was still careful, and put the scarf on her face and hands again.

Jiaohui Garden is different from the splendor of Yuanmingyuan. Because it was originally a garden gifted by Prince Yixian, the overall style is small and simple. Only focus on wild fun.That is, there are no tall masonry walls built in each courtyard, only bamboo and wood fences that are not high enough for people.

When Xianchun helped Wanxi into Lan Pei and Zhuan Xiang's yard, he saw Lan Pei's girls Bi Hai and Lan Qiao cleaning the fallen leaves on the ground.

Cleaning fallen leaves is not uncommon, but the way the two of them clean is a bit special, so Wanxi couldn't help but stand outside the fence and watch for a while.

I saw that Lan Qiao burned those fallen leaves into a pile, but Bi Hai stringed those leaves up with a needle and thread, stacking them on the stone slabs to dry in strings like copper coins.

Wanxi couldn't help asking Xianchun in a low voice: "Guess, what are they doing for?"

This speech alarmed Bi Hai and Lan Qiao.Seeing that it was Wanxi, the two hurriedly fell to their knees.

Bi Hai also replied: "Jiufujin is in the book pavilion, so let the master let the slave come and let me know."

Wanxi raised her eyes to look at the book pavilion.

The bookstore has large round windows with half-opened panes, allowing one to see inside from the outside.

Ordinarily, the movement from outside should be heard inside anyway.According to Lan Pei's temperament, if he heard her coming, he would go out early to meet her.At least he should stand up and look out of the window.

But after a while, the bookstore is still quiet, as if there is no one there.

"I guess, your master is asleep." Wanxi smiled: "It's rare for your Fujin to sleep well this time. So don't disturb her. I'll go in and have a look, there's nothing wrong, I've seen her One glance, and gone."
.
Both Bihai and Lanqiao were also a little embarrassed: "What the master said is true. After August, it is already autumn. Maybe it's spring sleepiness and autumn fatigue. Our master usually sleeps lightly, but it's rare to sleep deeply these few days. some."

Wanxi pointed to the bunches of fallen leaves on the slate: "What are you guys doing?"

Bi Hai replied with a smile: "Master Huiling, this is an elegant thing we Fujin learned from our mother's house when we were young. When these leaves are dried, the large ones can be used to write poems and copy scriptures; the small ones can be used as firewood. or to fill it into the small stove on the table to cook tea and warm wine, or gather around the fire to play oracle bone divination."

"Divination?" Wanxi became curious: "But how does this work?"

Bi Hai replied: "It is to carve the predetermined texture on the tortoise shells and animal bones in advance, then use these leaves to burn a brazier, and then throw those tortoise shells and animal bones into the brazier. The fire burns the bones, the bones It will split open naturally, and when the time comes, according to the appearance of the split, compared with the original traces, we can get the meaning of heaven."
