Chapter 30 Illiterate

The eldest prince stood up, glanced at everyone present and said, "This is the end of today's banquet, everyone go back and have a good rest."

"Yes." Everyone stood up immediately and answered loudly.

Zhan Xiaobai quickly exited the hall with everyone and returned to his own room.

"Girl, my master asked me to bring this to you." The maid took out a small paper kite from her bosom and handed it to her as soon as she entered the door.

Zhan Xiaobai took it from the maidservant, looked carefully, and found that there were two lines of writing on the paper kite, "This word looks pretty, but I don't know it, do you know it?"

"The girl can't read?" Strange, the girl put a lot of written notes in the dressing box a few days ago.

"What's the matter? Is it strange that I don't know how to read?" Zhan Xiaobai looked puzzled, even a country girl couldn't read.

"No, it's just that I'm not very literate as a maid," said the maid.

"Then don't care about it, it's probably not a big deal." Zhan Xiaobai casually threw the kite in the corner.

The eldest son of the Gao Mansion over there waited anxiously at the gate of the Gao Mansion. He expressed his love on the paper kite, and asked Zhan Xiaobai to come out to visit the lanterns at night.

But he waited for two hours, but he still couldn't wait for Zhan Xiaobai's figure, and was finally called back by the nanny.

Zhan Xiaobai had a sweet dream, and when he went to work the next morning, he still had a face-to-face meeting with Zhao Yujie.

I don't know when they met each other and formed a certain behavior pattern. She always likes to go out at this time, and she can always meet Zhao Yujie in the corridor at this time.

Zhao Yujie took out a piece of pastry from her sleeve, handed it to Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Try it quickly, this is a piece of peach blossom cake that Yang Shu gave me last night, it tastes very good."

Zhan Xiaobai pinched a piece and put it in his mouth. It was slightly sweet and crispy, with the aroma of peach blossoms. It was delicious, but the packaging was very gorgeous. "This is a pastry from the palace."

"That's right, Yang Shu has been favored by the Eldest Prince recently, and it is estimated that the Eldest Prince will be able to take her back to the palace once the matter with Ben Feijin is over," Zhao Yujie said.

"The eldest prince brought her back to the palace, I don't believe it, I think it is quite possible for the eldest prince to bring the daughter of Gaofu back to the palace." Zhan Xiaobai stuffed the last piece of pastry into his mouth.

Zhao Yujie smiled, took out two pastries from her sleeve, stuffed them into her hand and said, "I bought this on the street, why don't you envy Yang Shu at all, but I like your personality."

"What does the matter between her and the eldest prince have to do with me? My main purpose is to weave the brocade, get a reward from the mistress, and return home in a good mood." Zhan Xiaobai said with longing.

When he arrived at the courtyard gate, Zhan Xiaobai waved his hands and stepped into his embroidery room.

Zhao Yujie looked at her back and smiled slightly. For some reason, every time she talked to Xiao Bai, or saw her at a banquet, she felt inexplicably more at ease.

The originally bustling embroidery room gradually became bustling because of the successive banquets of the eldest prince. From time to time, various aunts and ladies of the Gao Mansion would socialize and shuttle back and forth between each embroidery room.

But it didn't matter, she just wanted to get Fei Jinxiu out quickly, Zhan Xiaobai withdrew his gaze from the window.

What the mistress wanted was flying brocade, which could float off the ground and fly, and she didn't care about the pattern of the flying brocade, as long as it was woven finely.

Therefore, in order to make the brocade fly up in the end, she split dozens of silk threads, only to make the woven brocade clear and light.

Zhan Xiaobai lowered his head and was weaving the brocade when a maid's voice came from the door, and after a while the maid came in with a tray.

"What is this?" Zhan Xiaobai asked, there was a very fresh smell on this tray, which smelled very good.

"This is sent by the eldest prince. It is said that embroiderers can smell this fragrance when weaving brocade, so as to relieve fatigue." The maid lifted the cloth on the tray and took out a small delicate golden spherical incense. Bag, "Girl, let me bring it for you."

"Did the eldest prince give everyone a copy?" Zhan Xiaobai asked while weaving the brocade.

"No, I asked secretly, only you and Miss Zhao Yujie gave this sachet." The servant girl said.

After hearing this, Zhan Xiaobai stopped his hands and continued the brocade weaving work.

She and Zhao Yujie were the only ones who sent sachets. Wasn't the eldest prince doting on Yang Shu very much recently?At first glance, it looked like something belonging to the royal family. If it wasn't for Yang Shu, why would it be given to them? The royal family's thoughts were really hard to guess.

"Put that sachet away, I won't take it with me when I put it in the room." Zhan Xiaobai said, "By the way, if anyone asks, just say, I feel deeply that I dare not take the gift of the royal family with me casually, so I just It was served in the room."

"Girl, why are you doing this? Look at Yang Shu, she wished she could take all the things the eldest prince gave her with her."

The maids were a little reluctant, if the girls they served themselves brought something from the prince, it would be very honorable.

"What do you know? With so many things on your body, will you be blessed to enjoy them?" Although she came from a remote countryside and has little knowledge, she understands one truth.

After all, there is a level gap between wolves in the mountains and cute sheep, and it cannot be erased by simple petting.

The maid pursed her lips and put away the sachet, thinking that those who came from the countryside were indeed from the countryside, and she didn't even have the guts to do so.

After work in the evening, the eldest prince did not invite everyone to dinner, instead, the eldest son of the mistress sent someone to invite them to Gaofu, saying that he would invite them to enjoy the moon.

Zhan Xiaobai followed the housekeeper to the largest courtyard in Gaofu.

The flowers in the courtyard are in full bloom and fragrant. As soon as you step in, you feel like you are going to be drunk to death in the spring scenery of the garden.

I have to say that the garden design in Suzhou and Hangzhou is better than that in their countryside, more beautiful and more poetic.

Zhan Xiaobai sat on the table at the back, beside the lotus pond, lotus flowers were blooming, and there were koi swimming in the water, it was very beautiful, she liked this position.

As soon as everyone arrived, the mistress and the son had already arrived in the courtyard.

"Every embroiderer, you have worked hard on the brocade weaving today. I have prepared excellent pastries and fruits for you. Let's drink tea and enjoy the moon together." The opening statement was sent.

But recently the eldest prince has a lot of banquets, but everyone thinks the mistress' banquets are very common, and they don't show enthusiasm.

After a few polite words with the mistress, they both lowered their heads and ate the pastries and fruits on the table.

The mistress smiled and revealed her trump card. "Everyone can use it for himself first. I guess the eldest prince will be arriving soon. I'll go and greet him."

The words of the mistress immediately exploded in the courtyard.

  Maid: If you don’t understand, just ask, what’s the level difference between wolves and goats? Aren’t they both animals?

  Zhan Xiaobai: Carnivores and herbivores, upstream and downstream of the food chain, do you think there is a big gap.

  Maid: I don’t understand, I only know that mutton and wolf meat are edible, so the difference between them is the same.

  Zhan Xiaobai: Don’t you know that you refuse to eat wild animals?

  Maid: Oh, then I understand, the difference between the two is indeed different.
