Chapter 654
"This luminous pearl is a tribute from Dashi, and I kept it in a box to collect dust, so I gave it to Feiyi to play with." Concubine De said lightly, "When I heard that Zhou was caught, Yiran What he caught was rouge and gouache. This child is too beautiful, and he must be strictly disciplined in the future to avoid falling into lust! I will give him a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, and let him be enlightened next year."

Yiran and Feiyi didn't make a fuss when they caught Zhou Zhou. At that time, the Hou Mansion was in troubled times.It's just that the old lady sent someone to carry the two children over and put some auspicious objects.The rouge gouache was not included in it, but Yitian kept crying, so the girl took it over to coax it, and somehow it was mixed in.

There are so many good things missing Yiran, he just hugged the rouge and gouache and didn't let go.At that time, everyone was chatting and joking, but Ruoxi didn't care much.Grasping the week is just a formality. In addition to gold scales and official seals, the wealthy families put pens, inks, papers and inkstones. If they can catch something and grow up, they can do anything, and the children of rich families will have nothing to do in the world.

Unexpectedly, Concubine De knew about this and took it to heart, which shows that she, as an aunt, cares about her nephew from the bottom of her heart.

Although it is just a set of four treasures of the study, but a closer look reveals that it is even more precious than the night pearl.Just talking about the writing brush, it is not a vulgar thing at first glance, the hair on the tip of the brush is white and translucent without a single impurity.Common brushes are made of wool, wolf hair, mouse hair, pig hair, and even children's lanugo hair.But the pen in front of me can't tell the material, and I know it's a good thing just by looking at it.

"This writing brush is made from the whiskers of white mice. The strokes are pure and smooth, with sharp peaks, and the characters written are soft and firm." De Fei said with a smile.

After hearing this, Madam Hou took it over and took a few glances, "How many whiskers can a mouse have? I don't know how many white mice can be caught with just this pen?"

"Ms. Hou is right. They all say that rare things are valuable." Ziqing on the side replied with a smile: "This white mouse needs to be an adult, and a mouse only chooses the toughest and most elastic beard. The beards have to be washed repeatedly, steamed in a pot, and then dried in the shade. Only those that can withstand this toss can be made into brush hair, so they are not only rare, but also durable and easy to use. Such a pen is the only one Four, one each for the emperor and the two princes, and the remaining one is here."

"They are just children, this gift is too precious. Right now, Yiran doesn't even know how to read, so it's useless to use such a pen." After hearing this, Mrs. Hou hurriedly put the pen into the box carefully.

"You are the only one who can talk too much." Concubine De scolded Ziqing with a smile, and then said to Mrs. Hou, "Mother doesn't need to feel burdened, it's okay to let him use it when he becomes sensible. What else do I care about besides Zixu? It's nothing more than I hope my family will be successful!"

Mrs. Hou nodded after hearing this, and replied: "The concubine has remembered what the empress said. When I return to the mansion, the concubine will definitely pass on the words of the empress to Lord Hou, and will definitely strictly restrain Yijun and the others. Although I dare not expect extravagantly If you can help your empress, at least you won't hold her back."

Concubine De concubine nodded when she heard the words, and a little palace maid came out, saying that Mingyue and Fei Yi were going to see Sally, and asked Concubine De for permission.

Concubine De agreed, and sent the safe nanny to follow, and let them go out through the back door.

Mingyue has always been very curious about this Sally, wanting to know what kind of charm she has on her body, and why she makes the iceberg-like Yijun look at her differently.

Feihong knew more or less what was going on in her heart, so she hesitated to go there.Mingyue saw her and said: "I heard that she is going back. You don't want to say goodbye to her? Don't worry, I just want to go out and relax. It's boring to stay here. Hurry up and don't dawdle." Just pull her away.

Salia was packing her luggage. There were not many things when she came, but there were a lot more things inexplicably when she was leaving.In the past two days, the nobles and empresses in the palace sent gifts one after another, but Salia didn't like it but had to take it with her.

When she saw Fei Hong coming in, she hurriedly put down the things in her hand, often showing a smile on her stern face.

"Why are you here? Sit down quickly." She ordered the girl to bring milk tea and snacks.

She was still not used to drinking tea, so she made milk tea by herself.As soon as the maids brought them up, the room was filled with the fragrance of milk, and there was also a faint fragrance of tea in it.Mingyue has never drank it before, but she tasted it and thought it tasted good.

"This food is better than Naipizi. How do you make it? Go back and ask the cook to make some of it." Mingyue asked with interest.

Salia was drinking tea with her head down, when the girl next to her hurriedly replied: "This milk tea is very easy to make, all you need is a bowl of fresh milk and some black tea. Wrap the black tea in the gauze and soak it in the fresh milk, put it on Heat slowly on the fire, then change to low heat and continue to heat for about half an hour after boiling. Finally, turn off the heat and simmer for a while, open the lid and add bingsu sugar to drink. By the way, remove the tea bag before drinking. No need Throw it away, it can be used to cook tea eggs."

"Are you from Kyoto? The words of the Celestial Dynasty are easy to hear." Mingyue glanced at the girl and asked.

"If you go back to the princess, the slaves were originally serving in the Yonghe Palace. The concubine De was afraid that the county master would not have enough manpower, and she was not familiar with the situation in the palace, so she asked the slaves to come and serve." The girl's eyebrows were full of wit.

Mingyue suddenly realized when she heard the words, glanced at Sally who was drinking tea in a muffled voice, and said, "No wonder she is so clever and likable. It turns out that she was trained by the concubine Defei. They say there is such a kind of master What kind of slaves are there? Now it seems that this statement is true. I saw that the two maids brought by the princess were too quiet. I didn’t see them laughing when I entered the house. Did they not like the life in the palace? But It doesn't matter if you don't like it, I'm going back now."

Fei Hong shook her head secretly when she heard the words, saying that she was just here to relieve boredom, but in fact she was here to provoke.This Mingyue's strong temper just can't be changed, how could she tolerate her losing to Salia?
She chased after her brother, but his brother only had something to say to Salia.Sitting on airs, squinting her eyes and saying cynical words, this is Mingyue's temper!However, Salia's temperament is comparable to that of her brother, and it seems that Mingyue is going to kick the iron plate again.

Sure enough, Salia turned her head and only talked to Fei Hong as if she didn't hear her.Seeing this, Mingyue was so angry that she put the teacup back on the table with a "snap".

She cursed secretly in her heart, what's the big deal, even though she is a princess, she is just a small country, and she pays tribute every year and becomes a minister every year?No matter how I say it, I am the princess, the niece of the current emperor, how dare I put on airs in front of myself, how dare Salia!
But Mingyue really doesn't understand Salia's temperament, there is nothing in the world that she dares not to do.Moreover, her temperament has always been courteous, and she doesn't like to socialize and flatter, and she pays attention to naturalness when interacting with people.
