Chapter 1301 Willing to be an ugly girl 28
From then on, Xi Ning lived a peaceful life again.
When Yuan Shao Nayan returned to the palace, every time someone asked her why the fifth young lady did not enter the palace, Yuan Shao Nayan replied that the fifth young lady had learned a lot, but people with talent and learning are often different from ordinary people. When we met, the fifth lady had not shaved her eyebrows, dyed her teeth, or powdered her teeth. Her eyebrows were as thick as caterpillars.
If she doesn't shave her eyebrows, dye her teeth, or wear powder, she's not an ugly girl. Even if you say you have learned a lot, it is still a modest statement.
Nozomi Fujiwara had no time to be distracted by the matter of his two daughters entering the palace and climbing to the throne.
Mrs. Akiko once sent a letter asking Akui to help Miss Zunzi shave her eyebrows and dye her teeth. I don’t know how Akui responded to the letter. Anyway, Mrs. Akiko never wrote another letter to mention this matter.
The cherry blossoms are finally in full bloom, and there is a sea of flowers inside and outside the capital.
Xining was lying under the tree, wearing comfortable Hanfu, and he was so happy. This is life. What's wrong with being a rice insect? Why do you have to fight to the death in the palace?
The maid next to her was sitting on her knees, helping her make clothes. After all, spring has passed and summer has passed, and here there is no other choice but to do it by hand. You can't hire a tailor and let outsiders know that she wears fancy clothes.
A servant with a sword came over to report that Mr. Fujiwara Yorimichi had come to visit.
Aling had to say: "Yoriichi-sama is the eldest son, don't come back again."
The cherry blossoms on the farm are in bloom these days, and everyone wants to come here to enjoy the flowers. First it was the second brother, and now the eldest brother came.
Xining replied directly without thinking: "Tell him, I am doing Qingxiu, and no one will see or welcome guests. This is what my father promised me, and I didn't even see my second brother. ”
Aoi couldn't help it anymore: "Lord Yorimichi comes to stay at the village for a few days every year, so it's not a good idea to refuse."
It was troublesome to welcome us in. Xi Ning said nonchalantly: "Viewing cherry blossoms in spring, lotuses in summer, leaves in autumn, and snow in winter doesn't count. I might even bring someone to stay with me, so I'll just go back." Well, I don’t have that much money to entertain. If the news spreads, it will be suspected of forming a clique for personal gain.”
She had no intention of entering the palace, nor did she intend to curry favor with anyone. Anyway, she is the fifth young lady of the Fujiwara family, so she is confident. With such a powerful father, she would not get into trouble if she did nothing.
A-ling muttered as she was sewing: "Miss, you won't be able to get married in the future if you do this."
If you can't marry, you can't marry. Otherwise, like other sisters, they will marry relatives of the emperor and the country. But they are all close relatives and related by blood. Now she hasn't figured out how to address the Queen, the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother in the palace if they don't use their titles.
After a while, someone came back and said that Fujiwara Yorimichi was furious and wanted to break down the door, but finally went back.
This place already belongs to Miss Takako's private residence, and if there is Michichi Fujiwara, as the eldest son, even if he has an official position, he will only be rejected. Like the two sons who came before, they returned disappointed.
All the maids looked at the fifth young lady who was lying down. Her eyes were looking straight at the cherry blossoms that filled the tree like fire and clouds.
He must be afraid, so why not open the door and welcome him in as a landlord?
I heard Miss Takashi ask leisurely: "Can the cherry blossoms be eaten?"
Everyone was stunned. They had been working for a long time because they were craving for something to eat.
The maid with a little more knowledge replied: "You can eat it. It is said that there is cherry blossom wine, as well as cherry blossom dumplings and cherry blossom daifuku cake."
Now the maids recalled all the things they had heard and seen: "I ate cherry blossom rice rolls in the palace... I saw cherry blossom yokan... and cherry blossom fruits..."
When Xining heard this, he sat up and said: "Go and tell the kitchen manager to bring some cherry blossom dishes to eat."
Now the maids were happy. The cherry blossoms were not meat and they could eat them.
I heard the fifth lady say: "It would be even better if we could get some cherry blossom meat."
Wow, why does this meat ancestor like to eat meat so much! It's not even May yet, but the cherry blossoms have already fallen. It's such an interesting flower. When it blooms, it blooms immediately. When it falls, it suddenly falls like rain. In just three or five days, the tree is bare again. It really bloomed like fireworks and disappeared very quickly.
A month has passed before she knew it, and she has learned many dishes in the kitchen, but she still goes to the kitchen to cook one every now and then. After all, the seasonal ingredients change every season.
The cherry blossoms have just fallen and there is still nearly a month before the lotus blooms. The lotus flowers in Xia Yuyuan are still just leaves. One or two stems have just sprouted, and the buds have not yet been seen.
Xining finished lunch and didn't want to take a nap. I sleep with nothing going on, but if I sleep too much, I won’t be able to sleep at night. There is very little entertainment here. Apart from those books, there is not even a leisure book. There are not even cherry blossoms to see.
News came from outside that after Xizi entered the palace, he became very popular with the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother. It is estimated that it is not far away that Kanzi will become the queen of the middle palace, and Xizi will officially become the prince's concubine.
What was also discussed was that Miss Zunzi had not shaved her eyebrows or dyed her teeth, and her eyebrows were like two caterpillars, which looked very ugly.
A Ling was so angry that she scolded Yuan Shao Nayan two or three times, saying that she was jealous of the young lady's talent.
Xi Ning stopped A Ling. This was actually very good. An ugly girl would not enter the palace and everyone could rest assured.
It is said that after the eldest brother Fujiwara Yorimichi complained to Mrs. Renzi after returning home, she was scolded by Mrs. Renzi. Tell him nicely not to provoke him. This village belongs to someone else, and whether they want to let you in or not is their business. Fortunately, he didn't break the door. If he really did, then he would have broken into the official lady's house without permission.
Want some food?
It's not May yet, so we can't make rice dumplings. By the way... So she ordered: "Aling asked the kitchen to cook some peas. Wash the peas whole, put them in salt water and cook them directly. Bring them over."
The peas have just arrived at this time, tender and sweet.
Still eating... A Ling couldn't help but remind: "Miss, you are already fat."
Are you fat? Xi Ning pinched his face with his hands, as if it was fleshy. My cheekbones used to be so thin that they were a little protruding, but now my chin is a little fleshy.
He stretched out his arms again and lifted up his sleeves. His wrists, which were originally as thin as reed sticks, were now much thicker.
She can't eat anymore, and she can't be too fat. She doesn't want the owner to become a rare obese patient in this era, which will affect her health. But what can you do if you don’t eat?
Xining thought for a while: "Go and call Zaemon."
Zaemon came at a trot and knelt down on one leg in front of the porch: "Miss Takashi, what's wrong with you?"
Xining, who was wearing Tang Hu clothes, walked out and looked at Zuemon condescendingly: "You seem to have gained weight too."
Uh...Zaemon swallowed: "That's what the lady said."
Not only did he get fat, but all the ten people he brought with him got fat. The food is so good and the meat is so delicious, how can I not get fat?
"What should I do if I get fat?"
Zaemon thought for a while: "Young ones are neglecting to practice, so we will start practicing from today." You can practice martial arts, but you can't live without meat.
"Well, okay!"
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the fifth lady’s voice: “I will practice with you.”
"Ah?" Zuo Weimen suddenly raised his head and looked at Miss Fifth in astonishment.
The fifth lady said seriously: "Teach me, teach me swordsmanship!"
