Chapter 387
General is ferocious: arrogant lady, don't escape
Gong Yueyue quickly avoided and said, "no, no, I'll do it myself. I have to be careful with these books! You two take me to the study. I'll have a rest in the study tonight. "
Yingyue led the way in front. Yingri took a step first and lit the light in the study.
"You go and have a rest. I don't have anything here."
When he got to the study, Gong Yueyue began to catch up with yingyue and yingri. But they refused to go. Gong Yueyue had no choice but to say, "you'll affect my reading here. You'd better go down!"
"Well, well, the slave and maid are standing outside. If you have anything, please call us."
Yingyue thought and said.
Gong Yueyue had hoped that yingyue and yingri could go back to rest. It's outside. The autumn frost is thick. Isn't it against the original intention?
"Forget it, forget it. You don't have to go out. Just stay in the study. It's cold in autumn. It's not good if it's frozen."
"Yes, slaves will never disturb girls to read."
Yingyue and yingri said happily.
Time passed quickly, and Gong Yueyue read quickly. She piled up books she had read on her left hand, but there were a pile of books she had not read on her right.
The light of the oil lamp was a little dark. Yingyue hurried forward and cut the wick with scissors. The oil lamp suddenly lit up again.
Gong Yueyue's head rested on her arm and suddenly woke up. It turned out that she was asleep.
She looked at the moon and the sun again. They also narrowed their eyes and dozed. They leaned against the column and shook.
Gong Yueyue thought that the hatching of guiding butterflies could not be completed in one night. Look through the books tomorrow, maybe go to the library and find something else to use!
"Yingyue, yingsun, wake up and go back to bed."
Gong Yue shouted softly.
Yingyue woke up vaguely and quickly knelt down, "damn you, slave girl."
At this time, yingri also opened her eyes. Her face turned white with fear. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed with yingyue.
Gong Yueyue had no time to stop him, so he had to say quickly, "get up, I don't blame you. What time is it now?"
As soon as the voice fell, there was a bang outside, Dong Dong, Dong Dong
Yingyue raised her head and said, "go back, girl, it's four more days."
"Ah, it's almost dawn! You two are kneeling. I'm so sleepy. Take me back to my room and sleep. "
Gong Yue narrowed her eyes and yawned very unsightly.
"It's really fragrant. If only peony were there, I would certainly make sweet scented osmanthus crisp."
Gong Yueyue misses peony and red beans a little, more her mother.
"Alas, I don't know if I'm not at home. Does my mother have a good meal? Do you miss me and probably worry about me?"
Gong Yue whispered.
Yingyue gets close and whispers to Gong Yueyue, "the girl says that peony is the maid around the girl? The maidservant heard from the housekeeper that the LORD had sent them to Guangzhou to buy something for the girl. "
Yingri is also full of envy. "I haven't been out since I came to the palace. Guangzhou is said to be far away from here. I heard that there are long nosed, blonde businessmen from the other side of the sea..."
Guangzhou?
Gong Yueyue remembered, didn't she just tell her mother that she was going to Guangzhou? But if I went to Guangzhou, why didn't I buy things in Guangzhou?
In Guangzhou, Gong Yueyue only heard Xie Zhen mention it and knew that it was in the southernmost part of China, near the sea. She hasn't been there either! However, it is said that silkworm rearing in Guangzhou will cocoon, become pupae, and finally break out of the cocoon to lay eggs.
It seems a bit like a guiding butterfly.
Gong Yueyue laughed happily, "great, I think of it."
"Yingyue, I heard that some places in Hangzhou Prefecture can also raise silkworms, but really?"
Yingyue shook her head. "I don't know, but I'll ask the housekeeper. The housekeeper may know."
"Then go quickly!"
After a while, however, the housekeeper came, with an old woman beside him.
"It's said that the girl wants to ask about sericulture. Although the mother is old, her family used to raise silkworms. If the girl has anything, just ask mother GUI."
The housekeeper said to Gong Yueyue, then turned to mother GUI and said, "mother GUI, you serve the girl these days!"
"Yes, the old slave understands."
Mother GUI is old and frail, and her voice is a little hoarse.
Gong Yueyue just wanted to ask some questions, but he didn't want to make such a big battle.
She said, "housekeeper, don't do that. I'm just asking about something."
The housekeeper smiled and said, "the girl laughed and the Lord ordered. The girl is the Lord's guest. If there is anything to do in the future, you can directly order it. You don't have to be polite to the slave."
Nonsense, the woman in front of me is the one the Lord attaches importance to. In the future, it may not be long before she will be a hostess of Zhao Changyuan's house.
When the housekeeper moved out of Zhao Changyuan, Gong Yueyue didn't say much, so he had to nod, "in that case, please housekeeper."
Then he got up and sent the housekeeper out. Even though the housekeeper refused all the time, Gong Yueyue insisted on sending him to the gate of the yard.
Mother GUI is very responsible. Although she is old, her eyes are very easy to use. She squinted at the egg of the leading butterfly and said, "look, old slave, this is not the egg of a silkworm."
"Mammy has good eyesight. It's really not a silkworm egg. I just thought, since these are eggs, is there any difference in the hatching method? "
"Ha ha, girl, are you testing an old slave? As the saying goes, the grasshopper will not jump for long after autumn, and so will the butterfly. "
Mother GUI said, "if the girl has any questions, just ask. The old slave can't do anything else, but he still knows something about these things."
"There's no problem now. If there's anything I don't understand, I'll come and ask mammy later. I hope mammy won't dislike it."
Gong Yue said, and asked yingyue and yingri to clean up a room and help aunt GUI to have a rest. Gong Yueyue himself entered the room.
Although it is autumn now and the earthworm has not been burned yet, there is a special stove for boiling water in the house. Gong Yueyue thought about it and put the box next to the stove.
The eggs of the guiding butterfly are the same as before, and there is no change. Compared with ordinary eggs, the eggs of the guide butterfly look larger, and the black eggs seem to have golden and blue lines.
It's impossible to hatch just like this.
Gong Yueyue thought, wrapped several layers of cloth around the box, hid the box on the bed, and moved the stove to the side of the bed.
"Oh, girl, what are you doing? Put it down and let the maidservant come!"
Yingyue and yingri were startled when they came in.
Gong Yue said happily, "it's great that you're here. Come and help me push the stove here."
The stove was not big. The three people worked together and soon moved the stove to the bottom. The water in the kettle boiled and the hot steam just smoked on the bed.
