Yutai Bi

Chapter 33

The man in brocade frowned: "Back off. Continue."

The servant retreated in response, winked at the guard behind him worriedly, walked quickly to the leader's side and said coldly: "Work harder, don't spoil my master's interest."

The class leader responded in panic, and hammered the big drum in front of him with all his strength.

The drums beat faster, like a shower of rubble.The two leading men holding the dragon ball listened, their hearts were shocked, and they immediately understood that the team leader was signaling them to show their unique skills.Holding up the dragon balls, they guide Ssangyong to grab the balls.The molten iron was poured towards the double dragons one by one, and the pieces of golden flowers were like spreading fans, and the dragons walked through it, like golden clouds growing out of the soles of their feet, extremely vivid.

Such beautiful scenery caused the surrounding people to exclaim in surprise.Everyone in Qiao's class knew that this was the most labor-intensive job.I only hope that the nobleman will be happy to see it and stop it in time.Otherwise, if you continue to dance, if you lose your strength, you will no longer have the strength to splash the molten iron into the sky.

The man in brocade clothes stood in the center and raised his face.

In the night, like ten thousand fireworks blooming, illuminating the whole sky.He stood in the most dazzling place, with a faint smile on his handsome face.

"Grandpa, be careful not to get burned!" The boy didn't have the slightest ruthlessness, he clenched his fists and stretched his neck anxiously, every time a ladle of molten iron was poured out, he followed closely.Turning around, he said viciously to the class leader, "If you burn my master, you will pay with your life!"

The leader of the class was sweating profusely, and when the drumbeat of his subordinates changed, Ssangyong flew away.Seemingly surrounding the man in brocade clothes, the men who were pouring the molten iron no longer dared to pour the molten iron in the middle direction.

The group of guards had already surrounded Shuanglong, their eyes fixed on the master, ready to go.

"Stand here and look, it's really beautiful..." the brocade-clothed man murmured.

He looked at it for a while, then walked out.

The servant hurried up to meet him, and looked him up and down, for fear that even a little bit of it might fall on him.

"Reward! Prepare the sedan chair!" said the man in brocade clothes.

The boy let out a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and the green-curtained sedan chair quickly came to a stop.

The man in brocade clothes got into the sedan chair, surrounded by all the guards and walked out.

The boy took out a money bag from his sleeve and threw it on the drum: "My master rewarded you." After speaking, he turned and caught up with the sedan chair.

"Thank you Qiao's class!" The class leader wiped off the sweat from his brow, holding the purse, and said loudly.

The dragon dancers stopped and saluted in unison in the direction the sedan chair left.

Watching the sedan chair go away, the team leader opened the purse, and inside were two golden pancakes.He scratched hard on the gold cake with his fingernails to confirm that he was not dazzled, and excitedly put the money bag into his arms, and murmured: "My lord..."

A group of people escorted the sedan chair and walked silently on the long street.

"Kongqing, go to Cen's mansion tomorrow and give me a gift for Cen Sanniang." The man from Jinzi yawned and said lazily.

The young servant Kong Qing who was walking beside the sedan chair responded respectfully: "Yes."

Please greet the third old lady.Cen Sanniang detoured into the back garden with Baicao.

The sun rises in the early morning of summer, but it is not blazing.There is coolness in the wind, mixed with the fragrance of flowers.It is very comfortable to walk in the garden in such weather.

Cen Sanniang was wearing a homely silk shirt.This kind of fabric is woven with silk and fine linen, which is light and smooth, and absorbs sweat and cools in summer.Silk cloth is cheaper than silk cloth and rich in dyeing. It is a kind of cloth that women's family members prefer to use in summer.To put it vividly, it is the cotton silk and silk cotton cloth that are still being produced.

"Third lady, the servants were busy yesterday, so I asked Ah Fu to cash in the bet. Guess how much you won?" Baicao's eyes are very beautiful, like a black, bright and plump grape.When you are excited and happy, there will always be happiness shining, and when you are sad, you are like a poor puppy.

Whether Baicao is happy or sad, Cen Sanniang likes to tease her: "100 taels?!"

Baicao took a deep breath, and her mouth shrunk: "How could it be possible to win so much?"

Cen Sanniang waved the bamboo-handled round fan in her hand and said, "It's less than 100 taels, what's there to drink? Let's go, the sun has risen, if you stay any longer, your skin will be tanned."

Baicao followed her sullenly, twirling her fingers around her belt and muttering: "Third Lady only has five taels of silver a month. The servants only have eight hundred cash, and the five taels of silver are still given by Master Ninth..."

It means that winning a tael of silver is also a lot.

Cen Sanniang suppressed a smile, tilted her head and sighed: "That's right, if I can win five taels of silver, it means that I have doubled the monthly allowance. If I win ten taels of silver, it will be a three-month monthly allowance. If... ..."

"It's 18 taels! Third lady, we won a total of 18 taels! The maidservant won three taels of silver!" Baicao finally expressed her smothered joy.Black grape-like eyes looked at Cen Sanniang, full of joy.

"Get rich, get rich, get rich! Hahahaha!" Cen Sanniang held her fan tightly, opened her mouth and laughed exaggeratedly.

Baicao was startled: "Third lady, what's wrong with you?"

Cen Sanniang closed her mouth, and gently shook her round fan with a gentle smile: "Actually, I'm very happy. I'm teasing you."

"Third Lady, you are really..." Baicao wanted to say that she was really bad, but she didn't dare to say so, she pouted dissatisfiedly, "You know how to tease slaves!"

"I won the money and went to make a new summer dress from muslin. Do you like the one dyed with baoxiang flowers on a white background or the one dyed with twigs in light pink?"

Baicao became excited again: "It needs to be light pink dyed with twine patterns, with a moon white skirt, and a wide blue belt. I saw the girl next to Fang's lady wearing it like this. It's so beautiful!"

"Okay! I'll pay the nanny again, and myself... Baicao, you won the money, don't you have to be filial to me?" Sanniang Cen teased Baicao again.

"My maidservant has long thought about saving up the money. When the third lady gets married in the future, I will give you a good hairpin!" Baicao was triumphant.

"You're kidding! I don't want to marry." Baicao was generous, but Cen Sanniang lost interest.

The two walked out along the stone corridor, and a girl's shout sounded behind them: "San Niangzi, stay!"

Looking back, it was the little girl in the courtyard of the third old lady.Cen Sanniang stopped and asked her with a smile, "But my cousin is looking for me?"

The little girl nodded: "The old lady invites the third lady to go over."

"Understood, I'll go right away." Cen Sanniang turned back and walked ahead.

Baicao cleverly took out a few copper coins from her purse and stuffed them into the little girl's hand: "It's hot, I'll buy you cold shrimp."

The little girl narrowed her eyes with a smile, and said louder: "Thank you, sister. I heard that they are guests from the capital. They came to visit the old lady early in the morning."

From Beijing?Cen Sanniang's first reaction was that someone from her grandfather's family had come.

When Mrs. Li passed away, didn't my grandfather's family take all the dowry with the dowry list and ignore me?Cen Sanniang couldn't help thinking that every time her grandparents' home was mentioned, her nanny Xu couldn't sleep.In the past three years, she always asked Mr. Xu about her grandfather's family after a serious illness, but Mr. Xu refused to tell.Now, is there someone from the grandfather's family?

Come and come.On one side is the grandfather, on the other is the cousin, maybe she can fish in troubled waters.Cen Sanniang thought it might not be a bad thing.

Entered the hall, but saw no one.Cen Sanniang bowed to the third old lady, the eldest lady, and the fourth lady, pretending not to know, and asked: "I wonder if grandma called Sanniang, but she has something to say?"

The third old lady smiled and said: "The guest came from the capital, I guess it was entrusted by your grandfather's family to come to see you. He is in the outer courtyard, and your aunt in the lobby will accompany you to see you."

"Yes." Cen Sanniang was stunned and didn't ask further.

Mrs. Xu said that when Mrs. Li married far away, her grandfather's family never sent anyone to Longzhou.When he passed away, someone came to carry the dowry, and he was still sick.People in my grandfather's family have never seen me.

But she couldn't act too surprised either.She also wanted to take advantage of her grandfather's family to find a good way out for herself.It would be best if the third room of the Cen family couldn't figure out what was going on with him.

After resigning from the old lady, the eldest lady affectionately took Cen Sanniang's hand out.

The eldest lady is still dressed gorgeously, with a light green gauze skirt woven with gold, wearing a headband made of gold leaves, and a few golden flowers the size of a wine cup are inserted on her temples.A three-inch-wide golden silk belt was tied under the chest, stretching out the plump and white chest and neck.

"Sanniang, I remember that your nanny Xu was your mother's dowry, right?" the eldest lady asked with a smile.

Cen Sanniang immediately understood that the lady wanted to find out.She said softly: "I've never seen anyone from my grandfather's family, Auntie in the lobby, do you think it's time to call the nanny over?"

"I've already told her to go and wait. It's strange to say that your mother hasn't seen anyone from your grandparents' house in all these years of marriage. Alas, poor child, in the past three years, your grandparents' family has treated you If you don't care about it, why does someone come here suddenly?" The lady looked at Cen Sanniang with pity.

"It's a good thing that my grandma and aunt Sitang are taking care of me, otherwise I don't know what will happen." Cen Sanniang said, pinching herself hard, frowning in pain.

She understood that the eldest lady was worried that she would say bad things to the people of the foreign ancestor's family.People who come will always leave, this is the third room of the Cen family.Cen Sanniang is not that stupid.

"Oh, it's all bad for the hall aunt, and it made you sad again. Be happy, after all, your grandfather's family still misses you." The eldest lady pulled out a golden flower from her head and inserted it in the side of Cen Sanniang's bun, looking at it After a few glances, he said, "Out of filial piety, don't always dress up so plainly!"

Earned, this flower tin is worth at least five taels of silver.Cen Sanniang showed a smile: "Thank you, Auntie Lobby, Auntie Lobby has treated Sanniang very well."

Say a few nice words, no loss.
