17. Silent Night Listening to the Mirror
Under the flower stand in the front yard, Yunhe was waking up with a slutty fan, and then hurried forward, made a low gesture, and said to Acuo seriously: "Your mistress and the son are still asleep, don't be too noisy."
"Oh." Acuo raised his face and said.
Then Yunhe asked her to sit down, gave her two fruits, and took the letter she had received from the shop at the city station.
While eating, Acuo looked at Jing'er's little aunt.
She and the mistress are so beautiful! The sunlight cast from the flower stand shines on her forehead and nose, with a little golden light, but it makes her fair skin look so white. Her eyebrows are thinner than the mistress, but they are particularly well-proportioned and narrow. Not to mention, their black hair is casually draped behind their shoulders like a female crown. They are probably not married yet, and they are not as scattered as a cloud bun like a mistress. No wonder people in Tanzhou say that the little aunt is the goddess of Xiangshui. When they arrive here, the people in Xingyuan Mansion say that she is the goddess of Hanchuan. Between the blue eyebrows and the long rolled eyelashes, the little aunt actually put two ochre-red palace makeup on her eyelids. When they open, they look like clouds, and when they droop, they look like peaches and plums.
It would be great if I could be like them in the future, but it would be too impossible, haha.
However, she is still a little different from her mistress. The mistress is a blooming peony with fragrance, but she is kind to anyone, and she seems to have never been angry. But her little aunt is like a white lotus, with snow-white green dotted with whiteness, and a slight red color in the white. This kind of flower does not exist in the countryside of Xingyuan Prefecture, only in the pond garden of Ganye Temple in the city. It is said that she spent a lot of effort to move from Jiangzhou on the west road of Jiangnan.
So in most cases, Jing'er's aunt is a little cold and arrogant, but I know that Acuo is not really cold and arrogant. In fact, she is very good and treats people sincerely. When she has free time, she asks me and Jing'er to read together.
"Acuo, why are you laughing at?" Yunhe asked one by one, and said.
Acuo ate the fruit silly, looked at Yunhe and blurted out, "I'm thinking, it would be great if you were in Xingyuan Mansion all the time!"
Yunhe was a little stunned, and then said to Acuo with a bitter tone, "How is it possible, I'm going to get married sooner or later."
"Will it be difficult to see you, Xiaoer, from now on?"
"There is no way, this is also the life of a woman!"
At this time, Yun He Shu breathed a sigh of relief, raised two letters and asked Acuo to hand them over to his sister immediately, "My brother-in-law is about to return to Xingyuan Mansion." Then he raised a stack of letters and said to Acuo, these are all the books and rituals of brother-in-law and his colleagues, just send them to the study immediately; then he left the letter himself, "This is what my father wrote to my mother. My mother went to the Ni Temple in the city to offer incense and offerings, and it will take several days to come back."
Then Yunhe separated the letters and asked Acuo to identify the signed words one by one, and told her that you can use them in the future.
Yun Shao basically has a free-range attitude towards his family and servants. She only made up her mind to cook for Songqing, and recently she has been interested in nursery and Guban; while Yun He is a "Prime Minister" type, urging Jing'er to learn, asking Acuo and other servants to learn to read, and never relax for a moment.
After Acuo left, Yunhe stood up and walked into the corridor of the east hall of the middle hall. He heard the whine of the little siege.
At first, Yunhe thought that he had bullied Xiao Nizi again. When he walked into the hall, he saw that he was holding Qi Bao's short feet. The Nizi struggled hard, grinning, and his fat head was shaking.
Yun Shao was holding a pair of scissors in his hand and whispered to Sibao: "Qibao is more well-behaved, just cut the hair on your tail."
"What are you doing, sister?"
While speaking, Yun Shao had already cut a bunch of hair on Sibao's tail.
After being let go, Qi Bao, who was aggrieved, ran to Yunhe and lay down, whimpering, telling about the unfair treatment he had suffered.
Yun He hugged Sibao in front of his chest, soothing its back, and watched as Sister burned Sibao's tail hair into ashes with a scythe and poured it into the wine vessel. Then Yun Shao took out a secret bag and took out a nail from it. "Sister, this?" She was very confused.
"This is Songqing's thumbnail."
After Yun Shao finished speaking, he poured his nails into the wine utensil and then drank the wine.
"Ah!" After drinking, Yun Shao's face was relaxed and his smile was extremely sweet.
Yunhe next to him was stunned, Yun Shao smiled and said to Amei in a low voice, "Recently, Master Mingxuan asked all the women and children in the city to recite scriptures, and asked someone to give me this book called "The Secret Recipe of Marriage".
Yunhe looked question marks, and the books of monks and monks were really complicated.
Next, Yun Shao said that before her husband returns from a long journey, he can cut the dog's tail and burn it ashes, and then take a thumbnail of his husband (sister, do you collect your brother-in-law's nails on weekdays?), and drink it with wine to make his husband respect and love him.
"Oh..." Yunhe then understood.
"My grandma, there is also a mirror in this book that can divine marriage and determine destiny. Listen!" At this time, the sister enthusiastically led her to the bed, took out the opening of the book "The Secret Recipe of Marriage", and then the two sisters began to read it together.
Jing'er stared at curious eyes and listened next to her...
After nightfall, Yunhe sat in the curtain in the small side hall, unable to sleep. She finally got up, walked to the desk, staring at her dressing bronze mirror. The moonlight was bright and the mirror was shining brightly.
"Hu..." Yunhe mustered up the courage, and as the book said, he suddenly reached out and hugged the bronze mirror in his arms, and then walked out of the bedroom.
The entire courtyard, wing room, central hall, garden and nursery of the official residence were gone without candles. The night was as cool as water, the moon was hanging in the sky, and it was thin and dust-free. The seedlings and leaves everywhere were bathing in it calmly and comfortably. Yunhe could hear the heart beating. She held the mirror and walked to the corridor, and kept praying in her heart, "If you don't meet people, if you don't meet people, you won't work."
Things are as wished by others. When she walked to the empty kitchen yard, she saw the statue of the kitchen god, and then knelt down, closed her eyes, and said, "You have a spirit in copper pieces. I wish you would not go out and hear sadness, and you can see the image of a good man thousands of miles away."
I recited this repeatedly seven times.
Yunhe's breathing became more rapid. She got up, continued to hold the lenses and walked out of the door of the official residence.
The entire Zicheng is the government office area of Xingyuan Prefecture, and the public security is very good.
Apart from the occasional whirl and the slight cough, Yunhe's ears were quiet. She counted one corner after another in front of her, "One, two, three, four..."
Until the seventh place, she stopped and turned her back to the moon, closed her eyes again, feeling scared and excited, because according to what the book said, an unmarried woman was holding a bronze mirror in the middle of the night, and when the moon reached the corner of the seventh street, she could see the appearance of a good man in the mirror and hear the sound of a good man. This is "Mirror Listening".
As the saying goes, I used to be full of radiance and listen to the news tonight.
"Photo, just take it out!" After rubbing for seven times, Yunhe opened her eyes, stopped breathing, staring at the lens.
Chapter completed!
