[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

Cheng Jin and the two hope that Zuo Xi can be a good master who looks the same in appearance, and Zuo Xi naturally hopes to gain the loyalty of the two of them.However, both sides are in the probing stage at this time, and the final result is still unknown for the time being.

The hair was almost dry, Yun Jin combed Zuo Xi's well-maintained long hair, and asked Zuo Xi what hairstyle to wear.Zuo Xi thought about it, and still told her to braid her hair.

Zuo Xi can also braid her hair, but she doesn't know how to do it in any way.With a pair of skillful hands, Yun Jin directly combed Zuo Xi's braids called crickets.

It is more than twice as good-looking as the traditional three-strand braid that Zuo Xi often combs. When Yun Jin is combed, Zuo Xi looks in the mirror with a left and a right, and feels that he is a little more beautiful today than yesterday.

The end of her hair was still tied with a red rope, Zuo Xi picked another palace flower to wear in her hair, and a pair of small and cute earrings to wear, pulled the jewelry box, put on two thin bracelets, and then stood up Before leaving the dresser.

After going to the writing desk in the outer room, Zuo Xi found that he had all the brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and they were all useful, so he planned to practice calligraphy for a while.

After entering the palace, I no longer have the conditions to read books and practice calligraphy.Zuo Xi really misses them now.

Yun Cheng winked very much, seeing Zuo Xi's attitude, he hurriedly stepped forward to help Zuo Xi sharpen his ink, but Zuo Xi didn't use them, so he smiled and said to come by himself, and sent them to rest.

After grinding the ink by himself, Zuo Xi picked up the pen and dipped it in the ink, but hung the pen on the paper for a long time, not knowing what to write.

Looking up, he glanced at the direction of the inner room, and Qiaoqiao saw the dressing box he had used for many years.

After entering the palace for so long, the family may be worried, or else, write a few letters from home.

When going to eat in Room [-], the first thing Zuo Xi saw was the turntable, which had become a household accessory, instead of something nearby.

Eleven knew that this turntable was made by Zuo Xi. Seeing Zuo Xi coming over, Eleven even pointed at the turntable and praised how smart Zuo Xi was.

No matter how thick-skinned Zuo Xi was, she would not be ashamed to say that she invented it by herself. She only said that she had read it in some idle book. Others were not foodies like her, so they didn't care about her.

"...Everyone is reading a book to go to the banquet, why only my sister thought of it." Eleven concluded: "That's because my sister put her heart into it."

Maybe.

For a while, the palace people put out the dishes and all retreated.Only Tian Guo was left in the room, Xiao Zi and Cheng Jin waited on him, and on the eleventh day he called Zuo Xi into Luo. "Come on, it's all your favorite food."

indeed.

Except for the coconut chicken, Zuo Xi ordered the fungus mixed with white fungus cold. Among the remaining seven or eight dishes, there are four that Zuo Xi's family often likes.

Especially the squirrel mandarin fish and boiled shrimp are the most favored by Zuo Xi.

Palace ladies are not allowed to eat fish, for fear of smelling it.If it wasn't for the [-]th, Zuo Xi estimated that he would not be able to eat this kind of freshly prepared food.

Smiling at Shi Shi, waiting for Shi Shi to pick up chopsticks.

Waiting for the venerable and the elders to move their chopsticks first is a courtesy and a rule. He didn't say anything on the eleventh day, but he took the first bite of food with the chopsticks and delivered it to the bowl in front of Zuo Xi.

Eleven here does not pay attention to the rule of eating only three mouthfuls of anything, because Zuo Xi is here, even the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping is broken.

After a while, Zuo Xi picked up a chopstick and asked Zuo Xi to taste it, and then asked Zuo Xi if the dish was not as delicious as her home-cooked food. He put all his heart on Zuo Xi, but he himself ate very little.

Seeing this, Zuo Xi stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some dishes that he didn't eat every day and gave them to Eleven.Eleven was startled at first, and then said with a look of surprise: "How does my sister know that I love this vegetarian bamboo shoot?"

Seeing Eleven like this, Tian Guo was embarrassed for Eleven.

There are so many dishes on the table, except for Miss Xue's favorite, the rest must be your favorite.As long as you are not stupid, you know it, okay?

Lord, you have acted.

Zuo Xi also wanted to say something to Eleven, it was almost done.But thinking that after saying this, it is possible to get an even more ferocious teasing attack from Eleven, Zuo Xi had to deal with Eleven casually, "I'm smart."

eleven:"……"

Tian Guo: "..."

other people:"……"

Eleven, who was choked by Zuo Xi's unconventional answering method, finally calmed down, but the eyes of the others looking at Zuo Xi were somewhat strange.

Is this what kind of pot and what kind of lid?

╮(╯▽╰)╭

After the meal, Zuo Xi drank tea with Eleven for a while, played a game of chess, and finally watched Eleven drink the medicine Tian Guo handed over with a look of taking medicine, Zuo Xi thought it was getting dark and wanted to go to bed Back to his room for an excuse.

Because Xia Xiang took a bath, Zuo Xi only applied skin care balm on his face, so after returning to the room, Zuo Xi just took off the palace flowers and other jewelry that he wore on his head earlier, and changed his body again. The pajamas were put on.

It was said to be resettlement, but after Cheng Jin and the two left the room, they went back to the small apartment in a flash of thought.

Although I often enter the small apartment recently, but every time I come and go in a hurry, I dare not stay.Zuo Xi glanced at the kitchen sink full of dirty bowls, and resigned himself to cleaning up.

After tidying up the kitchen and checking the inventory in the small apartment, Zuo Xi ticked off the list that he had made earlier before opening the door of the small apartment.

Outside the door of the small apartment, there was still something blocking Zuo Xi from going out, but there were several balls of paper piled up at the door.

Opening the balls of paper one by one, all of them were text messages written to her by her pen pal.

Zuo Xi often opens doors and windows, trying to find a way out.But at some point, after she opened the door, she would see one or two balls of paper outside the door, that is, in the corridor.

The first time Zuo Xi saw the ball of paper, he immediately jumped up.

She thought she was hopeful when she went out.

She found out later that she was happy too early.

She wrote the letter and threw it out in a ball of paper, but she couldn't throw out the ball of paper.After trying many ways, Zuo Xi finally discovered that only those paper balls that appeared inexplicably can appear inexplicably and leave inexplicably.

So Zuo Xixue tried to write something on the ball of paper, and then threw it outside.Unfortunately, I don't know if no one saw it, or if I saw it but didn't notice it. In short, Zuo Xi didn't get any response in the first few times.

Later, she had an idea, and directly folded the ball of written paper into the shape of a paper airplane, and then threw it out.

Sure enough, even if the shape changed, as long as those paper balls appeared inexplicably, they could still leave here.

Then, Zuo Xi noticed that the words asking appeared on the ball of paper outside the door.

Zuo Xi had read too many novels, and was worried that someone would take her into slices, so when he saw this question, Zuo Xi only hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to test who the other party was, where he was, and whether the other party could take her Also take it out.

She told the other party that she found a paper ball that appeared inexplicably in Jinling's home, and she asked the other party if he was the owner of the paper ball and where he was.Why does his paper ball appear in his home.

However, the owner of the paper ball is also cautious. He said that he just casually threw the paper ball on the ground, and just discovered that the paper ball has changed shape, and there is an extra line of writing on it.

He was also worried about what kind of monster Zuo Xi was.

Both sides are constantly probing, and after a long time, Zuo Xi can also see that the other party can't help her, but just like a netizen, just like this, you come and go and use strange ways to keep in touch.

Picking up all the balls of paper into the house, Zuo Xi sat at the dining table and opened them one by one to read the information on them.

I asked Zuo Xi what he was up to recently, but there was no news.

I have shared with Zuo Xi what books I have read recently and what I have learned.

Sometimes it's just one or two lines of poetry, half a pair.

After reading all these paper balls, Zuo Xi put away the other paper balls, leaving only the paper ball asking why she hadn't heard from her recently, and wrote a few words below.

In the correspondence between the two of them, Zuo Xi should be the most passive one.Because the opponent's paper ball can come in, but hers cannot go out.If one day, the other party doesn't want to contact her anymore, as long as she doesn't throw paper balls on the ground, she will never be able to contact the other party again.After Zuo Xi told the other party this idea, he intentionally got a few more balls of paper over for convenience.Ask Zuo Xi to keep it for future use.

'I went to participate in the audition, saw the emperor's grace once, looked up at the Forbidden City full of beauties, and gained a lot. ' Fold paper balls into a paper airplane, then go out and let the airplane fly...

After releasing the plane, Zuo Xi yawned and left the small apartment to sleep without waiting for a reply.

The sleeping Zuo Xi didn't know that just as she fell asleep on her front feet, the door was pushed open.

I saw Eleven entering the room with his mouth and nose covered with a handkerchief, and Tian Guo, who was also covering his mouth and nose, entered the room, but Tian Guo stopped outside, while Eleven walked all the way to Zuo Xi's bed.

The calming incense in Zuo Xi's room has a miraculous effect, it's the kind that people don't wake up after being sold to death.

As soon as the incense was lit, she went to the small apartment.By the time she came out of the small apartment, the aroma of soothing incense had already spread throughout the room.

No, not long after lying down, Zuo Xi fell asleep.

On the other side, Eleven, who put a certain piece of letter paper in the lamp and burned it to ashes, stared blankly at the lamp for a while, then stood up and went to the east wing.

Walking into the inner room, he first took a look at the delicate and beautiful dressing box, but it was not that outstanding. He walked forward as if he had thought of something, and turned the whole box over again. Xie didn't think it was true, and walked to the bed as it should.

His fingers stopped suddenly before they touched the bed curtain, hesitating again and again, and finally he just shook his head and withdrew his hand with a wry smile.He took two steps back, took a deep look at the girl in the bed curtain, and left as lightly as when he came.

But after coming out of Zuo Xi's room, the expression on Eleven's face changed.

Today is him. Although he visited the boudoir at night, he didn't dare to do anything offensive. What about someone else?

The little girl looks so good-looking, well-behaved and cute, and sleeps so sweetly. Does anyone want to do something?

There are many eunuchs in the palace who want to take advantage of women.

Looking at Tian Guo with a sense of scrutiny in his eyes, Tian Guo was terrified by Shi Yi's look, but he couldn't think of why Shi Yi was doing this.

"Go and call Yun Cheng and Yun Jin. From now on, they will take turns sleeping outside the girl's room. The door of the girl's inner room doesn't have to be locked, but the door outside must be locked." No one is allowed to open the door when they come.

Tian Guo: Are you guarding yourself?

Are you so cruel to yourself?

In fact, Eleven really worried too much, no one in his territory was so courageous.Moreover, in the west wing there is a nanny who stays on watch at night to watch the fire, and in his own room there are palace servants on night duty and Tian Guo who lives in the side room. Except for Tian Guo who is an eunuch, the others are either palace maids or nanny. That's it.

As for Tian Guo, if you lend him your courage, he wouldn't dare to think about Zuo Xi.

After complaining for a while, Tian Guo saw that Eleven hadn't returned to his room, so he understood that Eleven was asking him to call for someone, and he was here to guard the door for Zuo Xi.

Tian Guo didn't dare to delay, so he raised his foot and ran to the back room where the maids and nuns lived.

Ask Yuncheng to come out with the blanket in his arms, and tell Eleven what he said while walking, and then take Eleven back to the main room in front of Zuo Xi's room.

Back in the main room, Eleven couldn't sleep when he was lying on the bed, so he asked Tian Guo to also light some soothing incense.

Before An Shenxiang came into play, Eleven was still full of Zuo Xi and his determination not to let Zuo Xi discover his ability to read with both hands.

The next day, Zuo Xi stretched on the bed first, and then got up while thinking about what happened in the past two days.

Once back to before liberation, and then back to before liberation. Hehe~

Hearing the movement of Zuo Xi getting up, Yun Cheng, who slept outside last night, and Yun Jin, who came to wait on him early in the morning, came in with their toiletries.

At this moment, Zuo Xi didn't know that Yun Cheng lived outside her last night. After washing up, he combed yesterday's braid again. Yun Jin asked Zuo Xi to pick out jewelry. After Zuo Xi shook his head to express that he didn't wear anything, Yun Cheng said Remember last night's night watch.

"Young lady slept really soundly. I made some noise when I came over with the blanket in my arms yesterday, but I didn't wake her up."

"Eh?" Zuo Xi froze for a moment, then turned to look at Yun Cheng who was talking, "You came back last night?"

"Yes, according to the rules, Yunjin and I stay on night duty. Yesterday it was me, and today it's her."

Hearing the words, Zuo Xi looked at Yun Jin who was nodding aside, thinking that since it was a rule in the palace, then follow it.

"Then I'll go back and ask Tian Guo if I can remove all the senior chairs outside and replace them with an Arhat couch, so that you can sleep more comfortably when you are on duty at night."

After being a servant, although she didn't suffer much, and never served her master closely, Zuo Xi found that she could better understand the difficulty of being a servant.Therefore, she is willing to be more lenient in some matters.

The words of Cheng Jin and the two of them were just to put an end to the eleventh. I didn't want Zuo Xi to say this after hearing it, and I couldn't help but feel a little more anticipation in my heart.

For a while, Zuo Xi tidied himself up, stood in front of the full-length mirror and took a look before leaving the inner room.

The light is not as dark as it is at night during the day, and no one will walk around after dinner, plus he doesn't want to disappoint Shi Shi, that's why Zuo Xi wears palace flowers and jewelry.It's daytime now, and Zuo Xi has always been timid and afraid of getting into trouble, so according to the rules, he refuses to ask himself to lose his tongue on this.

Yun Jin brought a small white porcelain cup over and asked Zuo Xi to eat it, Zuo Xi took a look and found it was a cup of bird's nest, "Have you got up yet?"

"Not yet, I'm afraid it will take a while to get up." Yun Jin replied while handing the spoon to Zuo Xi, "Master ordered the tea room to stew a portion for the girl every day when the tonic is stewed. Girl Whatever you like to eat, just tell them to cook."

Eleven went to bed late last night, and added some soothing incense, so he got up later than Zuo Xi.Just now when Yunjin went to get the tonic, the main room was still silent.Thinking that Zuo Xi might have to wait until the [-]th to have breakfast, he felt that eating the tonic first would not delay his appetite for a while.

"Don't stay here anymore, you guys take turns eating breakfast." Hearing this, Zuo Xi took a sip and asked Cheng Jin and Cheng Jin if they could have breakfast.Both of them shook their heads. Seeing this, Zuo Xi told them to go now, "I'm going to read a book in the house after I finish eating the bird's nest."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other and went to have breakfast in turn.

For a while, Zuo Xi found a book that Shi Shi had left in the room to pass the time, and after reading about ten pages, he heard the voice of Shi Shi washing up in the main room.

Putting his head out of the window, Zuo Xi looked at the court ladies and eunuchs who were coming and going, and couldn't help but think of the identity of being the son of Master Kang and the prince of the Qing Dynasty.

There were emperors who liked to play football in the Song Dynasty, and there were carpenters in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, there are many princes in the Qing Dynasty who like to force people to drink tea. It is really not worth making a fuss about.

Both Yun Cheng and Yun Jin finished their meals in turn, and the bowl of bird's nest soup in their stomachs was almost finished, so Zuo Xi waited for the notice of breakfast.

Holding a sewing basket in his hand, he went to the main room to look for Eleven, and when Eleven saw Zuo Xi, he waved to Zuo Xi with a smile on his face.

"I remember you like supper. I asked someone to make small wontons for you to eat late at night. I didn't want you to go to bed early and didn't eat them." Pointing to the wontons on the table, Eleven smiled and talked to Zuo Xi Said, "I didn't have much appetite, but I will eat with you in the future, so I won't be afraid of not knowing what to eat anymore."

"I can eat so much, will I make you poor?" Zuo Xi pretended to be happy and charming, tilting his head and asked Eleven, "It's really super edible."

"It's okay, Brother Nine and Brother Xue are both rich masters, let's find them to fight the autumn breeze." After a pause, Eleven asked Zuo Xi hesitantly, "Do you think brother should also get some property? "

"It is necessary, the economic base determines the superstructure." Zuo Xi agreed with both hands and feet of Eleven's proposal, "What do you want to do?"

"I don't understand this either. What do you think is better? If you can't do business, Brother Nine will be overwhelmed."

That's true.

"Or, buy a piece of land and plant fruit trees. The trees bear fruit, and some chickens and ducks can be raised under the trees. But it takes several years for the fruit trees to bear fruit, and the survival rate of chickens and ducks is not high. If you don’t know how to serve them, you might not be able to survive. Hey, you can still raise deer. In winter, you can eat roasted venison, wow, it’s so delicious.”

"Any more?"

Zuo Xi: "How about raising pearls?"

"Yang, Pearl?" Eleven originally wanted to lure Zuo Xi into talking to him more.The way they plan the future with him is like running their home.I was a little surprised to hear that pearls can also be raised.

"When I was reading a book, I saw someone mention it, saying that pearls are not only natural, but also cultured. It is said that the shells can be polished into small balls, and then stuffed into mother shells to conceive and raise. After one growth period, you can get pearls."

"Sounds interesting." Eleven thought for a while, then turned around and told Tian Guo, "Ask someone to pick a place in the south, and then follow the girl's advice to think about it."

"Crap~"

"It's better to ask people to think about it first, and then do experiments when they have a clue." Like many modern people, she only knows a few words of theoretical knowledge about this kind of thing. People who rely on two mouths to support their appearance can know. "Just as I said, it may not be possible to raise it. Let's not rush into it, and do it quietly. After asking people to toss about it for a while, but finally found that nothing can be produced, how embarrassing I am."

"What's the matter, it's just to pass the time." Seeing that Zuo Xi really minded, he quickly coaxed, "If you don't eat, the breakfast will be cold."

"Oh."

Zuo Xi obediently picked up the soup spoon to eat wontons, and from time to time on November [-], he picked up a chopstick dish and put it in Zuo Xi's soup spoon, so that Zuo Xi didn't need to move the chopsticks by himself.

After the meal, Eleven took the medicine again, and then he read a book, while Zuo Xi sat not far away embroidering a purse.In the morning, I ate another fruit meal, and then played two games of chess, discussing the famous mountains and rivers mentioned in the travel notes, special snacks and customs.

This day is just eating and drinking, and then talking and passing.

The next day, after lunch, Zuo Xi asked Zuo Xi to stay at elder brother's house on Eleventh, and he took people to pay respects to Concubine Yi and Guigui Guo, and bid farewell to them by the way. "I know you're homesick. We'll go out of the palace to live after we tell the girls."

Zuo Xi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded to Eleven happily like a little squirrel.Tian Guo on the side lowered his eyes, his thoughts fell on the phrase 'I never lie' that he said yesterday on Eleventh.

Dade is really missing.

Zuo Xi stayed at elder brother's place, watching Eleven and his group leave eagerly.Because I talked about going out of the palace on Eleventh, my heart was about to grow grass.

She entered the palace in early February, and it will soon enter April.These days in the palace were the most difficult days she had lived in all these years.

By the way, it is inconvenient for Daiyu to go to Zhuangzi of Xue's family to meet her, and she probably can't leave Eleven too far or for too long. If it is convenient, can I discuss with Eleven and go to Hongluo Temple to worship Buddha first? , ask her to meet Daiyu, and then go to Jiuye to meet Aunt Xue and Xue Pan at Xiaotangshanzhuangzi.

Zuo Xi had a good plan, but it was a pity that Eleven used his strength to tell her what meant that the plan could not keep up with the changes and what was the inconvenience.
