carved heart

Chapter 56 Entering Nuclear Science (4)
She began to feel anxious from the bottom of her heart, she changed her gentle appearance, and said, "I don't know who you offended, I'll see how long you can laugh." After saying this, she hurried off the arch bridge.

Jiang Xuan was so angry that his chest heaved and fell.

"Sister, what does she mean? It's so deceiving! Isn't there a..."

Ah Yin glanced at her.

Her voice stopped abruptly!She lowered her head, raised her head after a while, and whispered: "Okay, I know, what should be said and what should not be said, I actually know it in my heart, but I can't see her being so arrogant."

Ah Yin shook his head.

"Ah Xuan, there are some things that cannot be seen for a while."

Jiang Xuan was puzzled and asked, "What does my sister mean by that?"

Ah Yin explained: "Lu Lan is not Luo Jiao. Luo Jiao has her brother Luo Yuan behind her. Luo Yuan really loves her sister. But behind Lu Lan, Eunuch Deng, what he thinks, Lu Lan may not know."

She took Jiang Xuan's hand and said, "Forget it, we don't want that."

After the two sisters returned to Tinghe Garden, they took the silver and walked out of the Chuihua Gate.A lot of carriages were parked outside. After the fake Chen Dou incident, Jiang Xuan seldom left Shangguan's house. Now looking at the dazzling array of carriages, she couldn't recognize which one belonged to her.

If he hadn't seen Tiger Eyes and Tiger Fist, Jiang Xuan wouldn't be able to recognize him at night.

She got into the carriage first.

Ah Yin was still outside asking about Tiger Eye and Tiger Fist, and after learning that they and Fan Haohe had moved to the new house, he asked a lot of questions, and finally got into the carriage.As soon as he got into the carriage, he saw Jiang Xuan staring at him with burning eyes.

"Sister! This carriage doesn't look like your handwriting!"

Upon hearing this, Ah Yin said, "Your sister really has bright eyes."

Jiang Xuan said: "Yes... Mu Yanghou sent it?" His tone was questionable, but his expression was extremely certain.Ah Yin said "No", Jiang Xuan didn't believe a word, pointed at the wall of the car, pointed at the gorgeous cushions, and pointed at the food box on the small table, and said: "These are obviously Mu Yanghou's things! "

Hearing this, Ah Yin narrowed his eyes.

"Oh? How do you know it belongs to Master Hou?"

Jiang Xuan suddenly coughed a few times, her eyes fell in the air blankly, and said, "Guess."

Ah Yin said "Oh", turned his head and ordered Tiger Eye and Tiger Fist to go to the busiest street in Suizhou, and then without asking Jiang Xuan, he picked up the lid of the food box, picked up a piece of red date and wolfberry cake, and asked, "Eat?" Is it?"

Jiang Xuan opened her mouth and took a bite, then sat down beside Ah Yin, chewing and said, "Why didn't sister ask me?"

"...Don't ask, just say what you want."

Jiang Xuan swallowed half a mouthful of red dates and goji berry cake, and said again: "Hey, my sister won't let me say it, but I want to say it even more! I want to say it! Didn't my sister spend the night in Puhua Temple before? Mr. Yan Jialang came over, and the pastry utensils and so on were exactly the same as those in the carriage. Mr. Yan Jialang said that the pastry specially asked the royal chef in the palace to ask for a recipe to make the pastry. ! This is the taste of the palace!"

Ah Yin took a small bite, but didn't taste any special difference. She bent her fingers slightly and flicked her forehead.

"I bought you off with a little food!"

"Hey, where is a little food. I saw that Master Hou really cared about my sister. He knew that my sister loved me, and he didn't forget to bring me a copy when he brought things. Did sister see the hairpin in the makeup box? Lord Hou asked Mr. Yan Jialang to send it over."

"Which is the speaker."

"The one with the black face."

It turned out to be Yanmo.

Ah Yin stuffed the remaining half of her mouth into her mouth: "In the future, Master Hou will send things over, and you have to tell me which ones can be recognized as palace things at a glance, and try not to use them as much as possible, you know?"

"Well, I know! Don't worry, sister."

Ah Yin knew that her younger sister would be happy when she bought rouge and gouache, so she let her buy it, even though there were already a lot of them in the house after coming to Suizhou.

Jiang Xuan asked: "Sister, does this look good?"

Ah Yin glanced at it and said, "It looks good, buy it."

"what about this?"

"It's also pretty, buy it!"

"What about that?"

"purchase!"

It doesn't hurt Ah Yin at all to make her sister happy.After coming to Suizhou, there has never been a shortage of money, especially after becoming a disciple of Duke Yuan, the Shangguan family has issued monthly silver, not to mention that Shen Changtang is still thinking of ways to give her things, and the rest I don't know where to spend the money.

After buying rouge and gouache, Ah Yin and Jiang Xuan walked around the East City and bought a lot of things.

She wasn't very interested in these things. When she saw someone selling nuclear carvings, she moved forward and the carvings were average.Yuemo trained her eyesight at Shangguan's house, and Yuangong also taught her well. Now she can see at a glance what is lacking in the nuclear carvings in stalls or shops, or how to add a knife or two to make up for the regret.

Finally, when passing the silk and satin shop in Guilanfang, Ah Yin remembered that she wanted to buy cloth to cut aprons, so she dragged Jiang Xuan in.

The shopkeeper is a round fat man with a round face and a round body, and he smiles very festively.

"What do you want to buy, girl? We have all brocades here."

Ah Yin looked around the shop, and before he finished looking around, he saw the shopkeeper's eyes change slightly, followed the shopkeeper and immediately yelled, "Xiao Wu, lead these two girls into the box."

As he spoke, he turned slightly sideways and made a "please" gesture.

The servant called Xiao Wu moved very sloppily, and immediately brought A Yin and Jiang Xuan into the box.Jiang Xuan used to have a lot of dealings with Huasi shops, so she lowered her voice and said in A Yin's ear: "Everyone who can use a private room in the shop in the silk shop is a distinguished customer. Did my sister come here to buy silk?"

After she came to Suizhou, she hadn't even bought ready-made clothes, let alone the shop in Guilan Fang.

Just as she was feeling weird, Xiao Wu had already called a girl in.The girl was wearing two buns and a crescent-white cross-breasted skirt. She smiled sweetly at the two of them, poured tea, and came in with melons and fruit cakes. Fang whispered: "What do you two girls want to buy? The girl has a beautiful figure, and there are many tailor-made clothes in our Guilanfang that are suitable for the two girls."

Ah Yin said, "What kind of soft cloth do you have here?"

After all, it is a girl's house, you can understand it as soon as you hear it.

"Does the girl want to cut the bellyband?"

Seeing Ah Yin nodding, the girl said again: "Yes, yes, we have everything in Guilanfang! Please wait for a while, I will bring some patterns. If the girl thinks it is good, then bring the cloth. "

After the girl brought it to the door, Jiang Xuan knocked on the melon seeds and said, "Could it be that the people in Guilanfang recognized my sister as Yuangong's disciple? Is it a nuclear carving artist from Shangguan's family?" Seemingly remembering something, Jiang Xuan looked at her The eater at the table said again: "No wonder Guilanfang can monopolize most of the business in Suizhou. If I have money, I would be happy to be their distinguished guest."

Hearing Jiang Xuan say this, Ah Yin couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't look at a table here for eating, Guilanfang is open for business and it is doing such a big business, it will definitely not lose money, and..."

There was a sudden noise and hurried footsteps outside the box.

Ah Yin opened the door of the box and saw the sweet girl walking out anxiously.Ah Yin asked, "What happened?"

The girl said: "Ma'am, please wait a little longer. There is a nobleman from Yongping outside. Have you heard of the name of Marquis Mu Yang? This Marquis said he wants to buy cloth for his wife who has not been married."

A Yin was startled, and asked: "Madam who hasn't passed the door yet?"

The girl said: "I think it should be a girl from the Li family in Qingzhou. This story is not to mention Yongping, even Suizhou is so far away."

The five words "Mrs. Unpassed" were like a morning bell rattling in Jiang Xuan's head, her complexion paled, her thoughts turned a thousand times, and she turned her head to look at her sister, but she still looked as usual, feeling extremely sad.

Previously, I felt that Mu Yanghou treated her sister well, taking care of both inside and outside. For a person with such a high position and authority, it is considered that he can be so considerate.But this good, she gradually forgot that he was a marquis, not an ordinary brother-in-law.

That is a family background, pay attention to the family status of the big family.

Jiang Xuan was afraid that Ah Yin would be sad, so she quickly pulled Ah Yin back to sit down, and said: "Sister, we bought some cloth later, and I will make you a bellyband when I go back. What kind of pattern does my sister want to embroider on it? Recently, my embroidery skills have improved a lot. , The peonies are beautifully embroidered!"

Said, Jiang Xuan took out her handkerchief: "Sister, look, does it look good? If you like, I will also embroider two peony flowers on my sister's bellyband. My sister has fair skin and looks good in any color, you can choose plain color brocade, on which I embroidered ten red peonies."

Ah Yin was amused, and said: "Ten red peonies will embroider the entire apron."

Seeing her smile, Jiang Xuan also smiled and said: "This means that my sister is as delicate and beautiful as a peony." She pricked up her ears, as if listening to all directions, and when she heard the voice outside, she said again: "Sister, why don't we Let’s go eat something first? We’re not going to the restaurants in Guilanfang. When we came in from West Market, there was a small restaurant right there? Xiao, after we finish eating, we will come back to buy cloth and go back, so as not to let Tiger Eye Tiger Fist hug them all the way."

At this moment, Jiang Xuan wished that her sister could stay away from the shops in Guilanfang, so as not to run into Mu Yanghou head-on.

She whispered again: "We can leave through the back door."

Ah Yin didn't know what she was thinking, so she nodded and said, "That's fine." She didn't particularly want to see Shen Changtang, she did such a shameful thing that night, and now it's broad daylight, it's inevitable that she always thinks about that when she sees him .

Such a thing, just thinking about it makes my skin burn, let alone seeing myself.

As soon as the sisters discussed it, they were ready to leave.

As soon as the two got up, the noise from outside rang out again, this time there were more footsteps, and the shopkeeper's voice came from outside: "Your honor, please, the box has already been cleaned up, and the villain knows your preference, so burn it. The incense, the tea is cooked, and everything is ready.”

The two sisters paused.

Jiang Xuan looked at Ah Yin nervously.

At this time, there was another unsalty "hmm" from outside, it was Mu Yanghou's voice.After a while, the door of the next wing was opened with a creak, and soon, the noise disappeared.

At the same time, the door of their box was pushed open.

The girl with a round bun sticks out her head, pushes the door open with her elbow, and enters with a book that is half a person tall.

As soon as the booklet was placed on the table, it was so heavy that the table shook.

She said: "I'm sorry to keep the two girls waiting for so long. Our shopkeeper has spoken. In order to make up for the two girls, he wants to give the two girls embroidered handkerchiefs. There are many styles of embroidered handkerchiefs, and they are all placed in another box." .”

Seeing Jiang Xuan's eyes brighten up, the girl with a round bun said again: "Young lady, if you want to choose first, you can come and have a look with me first."

It is obviously an extremely rare opportunity to see the styles in the silk and satin shop in Guilanfang.

Jiang Xuan looked at Ah Yin.

A Yin waved his hand and said, "Go and see, I'll wait for you in the box. We'll leave after we finish shopping."

"Sister, I'll be back when I finish picking!"

Seeing that she was so happy that she was almost jumping up and down, Ah Yin said with a smile: "Go." Jiang Xuan and the bun girl left the box.Ah Yin opened the book after the door of the box was closed.

The book was very heavy, but Ah Yin was strong enough to open it easily.

All kinds of fabrics are listed on it, only half the size of a palm, and the name of the fabric is written next to it.The first page is all red, Danhong, Qianhong, Fiery Red, Orange, Date Red, Yinhong, Crimson, there are so many of them.

She doesn't like red very much, she always thinks red is too bright and ostentatious.

But... Ah Xuan would like such a color.

Rubbing the brocade with her fingertips, she thought that orange red would suit Ah Xuan quite well.

Suddenly, his fingers stiffened.

She sensed a shadow beside her.

In just an instant, a burst of hot air came from her ears, and it all fell on her ears, "I haven't seen you wear red on weekdays." Her eyelashes trembled, and she recognized the voice even when she turned into ashes.

She was about to get up when her shoulders sank slightly, and his head had already rested on it.

His slender five fingers covered the back of her hand, and with her fingertips pointing on the bright red color in the middle, he said, "How about this color?"

Ah Yin took a look.

It is the color of true red, only the bride will wear it.

She said: "I like plain ones, red is too ostentatious."

He said: "If it is cut into a bellyband, the only person who can see it is Benhou, and only Benhou can know whether it is publicized or not."

Hearing this, the small and round earlobe seemed to be stained with the red on the book, showing a seductive color. She changed the subject and asked, "Is there someone from Lord Hou in Guilanfang?"

The tone is very certain.

Shen Changtang laughed in a low voice, and said: "The owner behind Guilanfang was an old man surnamed Wang half a year ago, but it's a pity that he offended the Holy Majesty, and now the owner has changed."

... no wonder.

It was exactly as she had imagined.

Shen Changtang asked: "Guess?"

She nodded and said: "When the shopkeeper invited us in earlier, they had a three-point guess. It wasn't until they told Axuan to pick out the style of embroidered handkerchiefs for her that they were sure that there was someone from Lord Hou. Lord Hou must be a supporter. Let go of my sister."

"Do you know why this Marquis wants to dismiss your sister?"

Ah Yin was unwilling to answer this question.

The fingers on the book moved slightly, and the palm on the top tightened a little. He smiled lowly, and the heat wrapped around her earlobe, "No answer?"

Ah Yin said: "...my sister will come back anytime."

"At least one stick of incense time."

Ah Yin blushed a little, he tilted his head and pecked lightly, and said: "I won't let you serve the sick today, and the young master won't either."

It's okay if he doesn't say anything, but once he did, Ah Yin figured out what the "little lord" he was referring to, his face burned up, it was a little darker than the blush on the book, and he Almost got hot.

The meeting with "Little Hou Ye" is really... really... I want to be ashamed once in a while.
