Chapter 543

On the other hand, Fang Xin took the separate gift list that was included, raised his eyebrows, and took the small box directly into the palace.

The Dong family in the south of the city is also very lively at the moment. Second Miss Dong received her elder sister's annual gift, even though she is usually quiet, she still wants to scream at this moment.

Not to mention how exquisite the makeup box is, the mirror inlaid inside is so novel and expensive. Thinking that she can see clearly every time she does her makeup, and it is not as foggy as the bronze mirror, she is so happy from ear to ear.

But remembering the engagement before, she blushed again and secretly looked at her mother.

How could Mrs. Dong not know what the girl was thinking, she pointed to the letter paper in her hand and said, "Your elder sister said that the next time the fleet comes over in a while, they will bring you a full-length mirror. It hits the feet."

"Ah, isn't it too expensive?" Second Miss Dong was overjoyed, but she still wondered if she would embarrass her eldest sister at her in-law's house.

"No, your sister has a good mind. That lady is very smart. Maybe the mirror looks novel, but it's actually not that valuable on the island."

Second Miss Dong felt relieved and said with a smile, "Then mother will help me hide the mirror, if the third aunt sees it, I'm afraid I will have to ask for it and send it to the palace for the third sister."

Mrs. Dong also had a headache when she thought of the thick-skinned third sister-in-law who was as thick as a city wall, and hurriedly said, "Let's put away the makeup box first, maybe someone will come over in a while."

Miss Dong Er laughed so much that she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and sure enough, the third lady arrived just as she put away the makeup box.

Speaking of the large full-length mirror in Haiyun Pavilion, which is as tall as a person, the third lady can't wait to turn her eyes red, and there is a meaning in her words, "Isn't the eldest girl on that island? This mirror is from the island. Why don't you let the eldest girl think of a way to bring back some of the younger sisters at home. It just so happens that the second girl is engaged, and our third girl will also be an imperial concubine in the future, and filling a full-length mirror in the dowry is also pompous."

Mrs. Dong hurriedly blocked people with words, "Sister-in-law, it's too easy for you to say that. If this thing was available anywhere on the island, I wouldn't have brought it here and put it in Haiyun Pavilion. Besides, sister-in-law didn't say Can someone give you 2 taels of silver and you can't buy it? It's hard for us to open our mouths about such a valuable thing."

The third lady pursed her lips, wanting to say something ugly, but she was afraid that her face would be even more unsightly, so in the end she could only leave with her veil resentful.

The second girl Dong was left behind to pat the old lady on the back, and then wondered what the full-length mirror looked like.

Not to mention how the Dong family is, but Fang Xin brought people into the palace with the box. Qin Quan was overjoyed and greeted him at the gate of the palace early, "Oh, Mr. Fang, you haven't come for a while. It just so happens that our master wants to Going to admire the plum blossoms, I am worried that I have no company."

Fang Xin waved his hand, pointed to the box behind him and said, "The New Year's gift for your master on the island has arrived, and your master may not go out today."

From the island?

Qin Quan's eyes widened, and he shouted to the little eunuch to take the box, "Be careful, be careful, don't bump it!"

"Oh, oh, look at your feet, how dare you drop the box and hit your board!"

The two of them talked like this, and walked all the way into the yard. Qin Rui, who was standing in front of the window, couldn't help softening his cold face.

He bowed his hands to Fang Xin from a distance, and Fang Xin returned a salute.

Qin Quan directed the little eunuch to carry the box into the house, and hurriedly chased them away, "You all go down, you are not allowed to enter the yard without being summoned."

The little eunuchs retreated in response, leaving Qin Quan excitedly with his master Xian Baoer.

"Master, this is a New Year's gift from the island! It's such a big box, it's really... really great."

Qin Rui also heard two groups of lights suddenly burst out in his eyes, he waited to look at Fang Xin, Fang Xin nodded and said, "The fleet on the island arrived today, and this box is sandwiched in the middle, and the gift list is inside. "

"Island... okay?"

Qin Rui seemed to ask casually, but the hand holding the teapot to pour tea for Fang Xin was tightly squeezed.

"It's not that you don't know my sister's ability. An island that doesn't shit like a bird, it's just a prosperous business. I heard that countless people in Quanzhou want to go to the island to seek life, but not everyone on the island accepts her. , What kind of household registration system is being implemented?"

Fang Xin was careless, he didn't mean to regard Qin Rui as the emperor at all, he drank the tea in one gulp and signaled Qin Rui to refill.

Not only was Qin Rui not annoyed, but he smiled and filled another glass for him.

Shut up in the palace all day long, there is no shortage of people who kneel and kowtow, except for Fang Xin, who is half a friend, no one considers him a friend.No, strictly speaking, there is another one, but I don't know if he will be a friend after revealing his identity...

"Master, open the box and have a look?"

Seeing that his master was distracted again, Qin Quan hurriedly asked.

Qin Rui regained consciousness and nodded.

Qin Quan was so happy that he stepped forward to open the box, and finally took out everything.

Eight boxes of snacks of various colors, two small jars of seafood sauce, some exotic dried fruits, and a small box with a very delicate package.

Qin Quan saw that the dim sum was his master's favorite, seafood sauce with noodles, and the novel dried fruit could be given to Miss Dong San to taste, but he didn't know what the little box was.

Qin Rui also felt that the small box was strange, so he reached out to take it out, and when he opened it, there was a small mirror with a carved handle inside, which was so clear and bright that it was scary.

He raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but take another look.Qin Quan also leaned over, and was so shocked that he wanted to shout out but covered his mouth in time.

"What is this? Mirror! Why is it so clear?"

Fang Xin held the tea and smiled proudly, "When I was on the island, I didn't have such a novel mirror. I'm afraid my sister has been thinking about it recently. She doesn't know where the novel idea came from, and she can create some novelties from time to time. It's a novelty. The New Year's gift she sent to the family has a full-length mirror that is one person tall, which is much clearer than this."

Qin Rui listened quietly, turning around the small carved mirror in his hand, and couldn't help but look towards the southeast through the sky outside the door.

The woman gave him a small mirror that only women carry with them, maybe they knew that he was close to the third girl of the Dong family?She really doesn't have the slightest affection for him, otherwise she wouldn't have sent such a generous "gift"...

Maybe, he really should let go of that bit of greed that shouldn't be there.

Fang Xin didn't speak. Seeing that Qin Quan couldn't resist stealing the dried fruit, he also squeezed a piece of dried mango and threw it into his mouth. Finally, he complained, "It's better to eat fresh ones on the island."

Qin Quan asked curiously, "Young Master Fang, what kind of fruit is this? The skin is also yellow?"

"Of course, some are shaped like a beef heart, and they have a special fragrance when they are ripe. There are also this kind of fruit on the big island in the south, but it is not as delicious as Taoyuan Island. Especially when the branches are soft and collapsed under the tree, you can pick them with your hands. It’s better than being as comfortable as a fairy.”

Xu was jealous of such a beautiful existence in Fang Xin's story. The cold wind outside the door sneaked in and blew his robe, causing him to shiver, and finally sighed, "If my parents were not in the capital, I would I really want to stay on the island and never come again. Standing on the reef in the morning to watch the sunrise, cast a net to fish during the day, swim a few laps in the sea, and walk along the beach at night, blowing the sea breeze, it is really comfortable! At this time, we It's freezing to death here, but flowers are still blooming on the island, and it's so hot at noon that you might eat ice bowls."

Qin Quan looked yearning when he heard it, and said, "I must go and see in the future, Taoyuan Island, is it really an outdoor peach garden?"

Fang Xin glanced at Qin Rui, but didn't answer.

"I still have something to do at home, and the annual gift has been delivered, so I'll go back now."

Qin Quan was a little reluctant and wanted to keep him, but Qin Rui shook his head.

After Fang Xin left the palace, Qin Quan cautiously asked, "Master, do you want to go for a walk?"

Qin Rui smiled, "Did you see Dim Sum and think of Miss Dong San?"

"Hey," Qin Quan scratched his head and smirked, "I just think Miss Dong San is straightforward, and she is kind when she looks at her."

"Pick up a few pieces of each snack and go to Chuxiu Palace."

"Yes, master."

Seeing each other in the barren small garden of Chuxiu Palace almost every afternoon has become the habit of master and servant and Miss Dong San.

Whenever the two of them came over, almost without empty hands, Miss Dong San ran forward with a smile like a puppy welcoming its master every time.

But this day was a bit unusual, even though Qin Quan took the food box, she still reported her knees huddled in the cloak and refused to move.

Qin Rui frowned slightly, stepped forward and asked, "Are you sick?"

Miss Dong San shook her head and said lazily, "No."

"So it's cold?" Qin Quan hurriedly put down the food box to find firewood. The place where the three of them sat was under a pavilion, with three sides shielded from the wind and one side facing the sun. They could light a resin bonfire, which was very warm and did not delay enjoying the snow scenery. bask in the sun.

Normally, Miss Dong San would definitely argue about roasting sweet potatoes, or ask the two of them if they brought chicken legs, but today they didn't say a word.

At this time, Qin Rui also felt that something was wrong. He wanted Qin Quan to inquire about it, but felt that there was some twists and turns, so he asked directly, "But someone bullied you. Tell me, I... don't be afraid, I will help you Think of ways to."

Miss Dong San raised her chubby face and pitifully forgot about him for a long while, before she could speak, big tears fell down her face.

"Woo, I want to go home, I want to go home, this place is terrible, they are all bad guys, I want to go home!"

Qin Rui was a little dazed. The only woman he knew well was Ding Wei, but Ding Wei was almost stronger than a man, and she had never shed tears in front of him like this.

Seeing Miss Dong San crying so happily now, he was a little at a loss, but he really wanted to hold her in his arms and protect her well.

For the first time, his hands were faster than his brain, and when he regained consciousness, Miss Dong San was already in his arms...

Qin Quan blinked his eyes twice, and quickly hid aside.

Miss Dong San cried so earnestly that she didn't realize that she was wrapped in warm arms.

"Woooo, Sister Shangping died. They said she choked to death while eating. She had talked to me earlier and said that she would treat me to glutinous rice cakes from her hometown when she left the palace. But..."

The more Miss Dong San cried, the more terrified she became, she hugged Qin Rui's arm and refused to let go, "I want to leave the palace, I want to go home. But my mother will definitely break my legs, my mother wants me to marry the emperor, but marrying I will stay here forever for the emperor. I am afraid, people here are bad..."
