Chapter 1033 Autumn
Chapter 1033 Autumn
The pergola stands facing the Jinhui Mountain, and you can see the Jinhui Mountain after you sit down. The location is very good.
The sky is blue, and under the cloudless sky, there are yellow peaks and hills, blue is blue, gold is gold, and autumn is full of vibes.
The tables under the arbors of each house were filled with melon and fruit snacks from the autumn harvest. Everyone chatted and laughed, discussing whose kite could win the championship this time, which was lively.
Maybe the men from every family felt that kite flying was a daily pastime for their daughter's family, and they all refused to participate in it. Then the family who wanted to show off in front of the empress would stop when they heard that the sons of honorable families would not participate. I got this idea.
No, take a look at the field... Most of them are daughters' homes, and there is not a single son.
The sons and daughters all gather under the arbor with their fathers, elder brothers, relatives and friends to talk about poetry and study.
The female family members who have not participated in the competition also gather together, there are young women who have already gone to the school... talking about going to the school to learn knowledge, and the older female family members gather together to talk about who's girl is outstanding, or whose family's Jiro is excellent.
After all, the two girls of the Qin family are Qin Lang's younger sister and Bai Jinxiu's sister-in-law, and they are also here this time.
The eldest girl of the Qin family is very gorgeously dressed, and her attire is also extremely exquisite, and she really wants to see a good husband marry.
As the host of the kite competition, Bai Jinzhi, the lord of Gaoyi County, came in a full suit and announced the kite competition for an hour. After an hour, whoever has the tallest kite will be the winner.
Bai Jinzhi gave an order, and the daughters of various families wrapped in sleeves and loops held kite strings, and ran forward with laughter and laughter, pulling the kite, hoping that their kite would fly higher.
Under the pergola, there was a daughter who had a close friend of her boudoir participating in the competition, grabbing her handkerchief and shouting loudly to ask her boudoir to cheer.
And those newly married widows are also trying their best. After all, the leader's reward is generous, how can they not be tempted.
Mrs. Dong watched under the golden light of early autumn, fighting hard and rushing forward, smiling and cheering women, with bright smiles on their brows. This world is extremely harsh on women, and they pay attention to calmness and dignity. It is rare to see her daughter's family To be able to run and laugh so heartily and recklessly...
But how good it is, Dong thinks that all daughters in the world can run so freely, laughing from the heart like a child.
"Queen Mother, Your Majesty...the wife of the Patriarch of the Bai clan brought pomegranate juice, saying that...the pomegranates from Shuoyang's hometown are ripe, and they just arrived yesterday. She knew that there was going to be a kite competition today, so she specially made osmanthus pomegranate juice. Come here for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty... and all the wives to have a try." Mother Qin stepped forward and said with a smile, "Seeing that the patriarch's wife has prepared a lot."
In front of outsiders, the loyal servants of the Bai family still call His Majesty Bai Qingyan, Empress Dowager Dong.
Bai Qingyan saw Fang Shi standing respectfully outside the arbor, followed by a servant carrying an ice bucket, and nodded to Wei Zhong to invite Fang Shi to come in.
Fang came forward with her skirt in her hand, kowtowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty, although it's already autumn, the weather is still a bit hot, just as the pomegranates from my hometown in Shuoyang were delivered yesterday, the women came I have prepared some sweet-scented osmanthus and pomegranate juice from my hometown in Shuoyang, and brought it for the Queen Mother, Your Majesty and all the ladies to taste."
"The patriarch's wife has a heart!" Dong smiled and nodded, "Then try it! Don't waste the hard work of the patriarch's wife."
"Thank you, Empress Dowager, Your Majesty! The women will use it to serve the Empress Dowager and Your Majesty." Fang smiled and motioned the servants to bring up the ice bucket.
Bai Qing remained calm, looking at Fang, guessing in her heart that Fang's being so low-key and petty was out of flattery or something else.
Fang cleaned her hands, filled the osmanthus and pomegranate juice in a white jade cup with exquisite craftsmanship, and carefully tested the poison with silver needles and other things, then put a bowl in front of Dong, and then took it from another ice bucket. Put a bowl in the bowl to repeat the drug testing process and put it in front of Bai Qingyan: "The one for your majesty is not so cold after being frozen for a while, and some sour plums are added, which seems to be more suitable for your majesty's taste."
Bai Qingyan looked down at the sweet-scented osmanthus floating in the white jade cup, and the green plum sunken under the clear red soup in the white jade cup, and said with a smile: "The patriarch's wife has a heart."
After Mrs. Fang saluted, according to the order...the second wife, Mrs. Liu, and the third wife, Mrs. Li, were filled.
Mrs. Fang filled a bowl and was about to deliver it to Mrs. Wang's table in small steps. Suddenly, she stepped on the hem of her skirt, and the bowl of sweet-scented osmanthus and pomegranate juice was thrown at Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Wang was startled and could not dodge. In a hurry, I only lifted my sleeve to cover my face, and was splashed by the sweet-scented osmanthus pomegranate juice, and the jade bowl also hit the edge of the table and shattered to the ground, causing white jade to splash.
Fang's face was horrified, and she almost cried, ignoring her own embarrassment, got up and rushed to Wang's side and wiped Wang's hand with a handkerchief: "Fourth madam! Fourth madam, are you okay! Did you get hurt by the broken jade?" arrive?"
The fifth wife, Mrs. Qi, hurriedly turned her head: "Go and get a cloak!"
Mrs. Li hurriedly put down the jade lamp in her hand, took out the handkerchief and handed it over: "Are you hurt?"
"It's okay, it's okay! It's not hurt, it's just that the clothes are dirty..." Wang first wiped the beads in his hand with a handkerchief, for fear that the beads would be stained by the sweet-scented osmanthus and pomegranate juice, and then patted the wet clothes. The answer is sweet-scented osmanthus.
Nurse Guan, who was beside Wang, took the cloak sent by the fifth lady, thanked her and wrapped the fourth lady with the cloak.
"Madam, let's go change our clothes first!" Guan Nanny said.
Mrs. Fang also quickly helped Mrs. Wang to stand up, and said with tears in her eyes, "It's not good for the women! Fourth Madam, the women will accompany you to change your clothes! Otherwise, the women will feel uneasy."
Mrs. Wang has always been soft-hearted. Seeing Mrs. Fang's uneasy appearance, she nodded, "Then it will be hard for the patriarch's wife."
Bai Qingyan looked at the movement of the fourth aunt, and her eyes fell on Fang Shi. She saw that Fang Shi was looking at a nanny standing outside the arbor, and the nanny nodded to Fang Shi. Follow up and watch, protect Fourth Aunt..."
Wei Zhong nodded: "Don't worry, Your Majesty!"
As soon as Fang Shi and Madam Guan helped Wang Shi who was wrapped in a cloak on the front feet, Wei Zhong followed behind.
"This patriarch's wife is quite thoughtful. After chilling the osmanthus pomegranate juice, put it in this white jade bowl, it has a special flavor!" The second wife Liu liked it very much, "The taste is not too sweet, and it also has the fragrance of osmanthus. , really good..."
"If Second Aunt likes it, I will ask Nanny Luo to learn from the patriarch's wife later." Bai Qing said.
The eunuchs cleaned up the debris very quickly, as if nothing happened just now.
Bai Qingyan took a sip of this sweet-scented osmanthus pomegranate juice and put it down. Dong Shi saw it and asked, "I've been watching that you don't like sour ones, don't you like this sweet and sour one?"
