Chapter 412 (1/2)
It was midsummer, and the weather was hot. There was no wind in the whole Imperial City, and it was dreary.
The floor tiles in the courtyard were hot, and the hot temperature could be felt across the shoes. The trees were wilting and chirping. The summer cicadas of the big locust trees in the street roared and screamed one after another, and their voices were about to be broken.
I haven't seen a drop of rain for half a year.
Hot people are dizzy and distended, and their forehead is pumping.
The bright windows of the house were wide open, and several pots of ice were placed in the house. The maidservants who fanned were silent. The complex and elegant gauze skirts swayed and dragged on the ground. In front of the desk, a slender jade hand, half holding a wolf's hair, sprinkled ink treasures. A wisp of green silk scattered from the temples and fell on both sides of the bright, delicate, white and porcelain ware. The beauty was like jade and looked cool.
”Master.” Dong'Er came with a bowl of sour plum soup. ”Just now the master sent Xiang Bo to send a message that if you feel too bored, you can go back to Zhao's house for a few days.”
Until the last word fell, Chu Zhi picked up rice paper and dried the ink on it.
”In this situation, it's boring everywhere.”
She folded the letter carefully, stuffed it into the envelope, sealed it with honey wax, sealed it with a seal, and handed it to Xia'er: ”give this letter to Xiang Bo and ask him to give it to Xiao Hou together.”
Xia'er took orders and went out of the house with the letter.
”How about what I asked you to do?” Chu Zhi asked.
Dong'Er replied, ”as the master expected, the four girls really often go to the fourth Prince's house these days, and they have become regular guests.”
Chu Zhi smiled: ”it seems that Chu Xi is determined to cultivate this chess piece.”
Dong'Er said, ”I don't understand. Since the master knows that six girls and four girls collude with each other to deal with you and my uncle, why don't they stop them in time?”
”Have you heard of pig breeding?”
”What?”
Glancing at the ignorant Dong'Er, Chu Zhi said slowly: ”don't worry, let alone panic, raise slowly, and then kill the meat when it's fat and thick.”
Dong'Er suddenly realized: ”no wonder it's called pig raising flow. Master, you know so much.”
Chu Zhi said, ”Meng Wan said.”
Dong Er: ”
”In fact, this is not the most important thing. Chu Xi can cultivate Chu night, but she must have held back the big move. I interrupted her plan early, and she will make a comeback, and there is no hurry or feeling. It's better to wait for her to brew a big move. At the last moment, I press it out for her. With Chu Xi's temperament, even if she can't die, she can die half.”
Listen to Dong'Er rubbing his hands: ”yes, just like Miss Meng said, press her on the ground and rub her back and forth!”
”By the way, girl,” said Dong'Er, ”the maid looked at the lady running to Luo's house every day. She was mysterious and didn't know what to do.”
Roche?
”Do you know?”
”You should know.”
Because it was hot, Roche said that his body was not refreshing, and Chu Zhi was too lazy to move. Hou ye asked the small kitchen to send meals to the house and eat each. Therefore, Chu Zhi didn't see Roche for many days.
”Go and inquire.”
”OK, I'll go now.”
As soon as Dong'Er left, Mammy Qian came in with a stack of clothes.
”Girl, this is the ice silkworm gauze dress newly cut by xiuniang. It's the coolest in today's weather, but come and try it out.”
”I have too many clothes to wear. Don't be busy.”
Mother Qian took her clothes. When she approached Chu Zhi, she lowered her voice and said in her ear, ”the virtuous imperial concubine sent a letter saying that the dark guard around emperor Xiao is missing. Let's be careful.”
Chu Zhi's eyes were bright and cold: ”do you know where you've gone?”
