In the next few days, there was no movement on the side of the Wulanala clan, and the Li clan did not make any moves in our courtyard, but they had a plan for the Qian family's courtyard. First of all, there was a deduction in the diet, and there was also a shortage in the monthly allowance. The Qian family had never touched the food delivered from the dining room, and there was not much cost in terms of silver dual-use. It's just that the servants and maids around her complained a lot, and their attitude towards the Qian family became more and more sluggish.

Thinking that Qian spent more time in my courtyard every day than in her own courtyard, and she was not a rare person to serve, she simply reported to Yinzhen, saying that she wanted to merge an adjacent empty courtyard with my yard, so that Qian could move over and live in the same courtyard with me, and take care of each other.

I seldom ask for anything. In Yinzhen's opinion, this matter is not a big deal, he did not object, and sent someone to push the wall and repair the house the next day, but it was done in three or five days.

The two courtyards are one together, which not only is the space much more spacious, but also the open space is also increased. Xiao Shunzi knew that I didn't like to grow ornamental flowers and plants, so she turned over the land and planted vegetables, fruits and herbs, raised a few chickens that could lay eggs, and raised some fish in a pond in the yard.

Looking at this posture, it is a bit like preparing for war and famine in the present world, even the Qian family smiled and quipped: "It's a pity that there is no courtyard gate in this courtyard, otherwise we will close the door, no matter how difficult those people outside are, we can live a small life without worrying about food and clothing." “

I just smiled and didn't answer, but there were other worries and uneasiness in my heart. If the Li family wants to take care of anyone, it will not be so easy to let go, just like the time I first entered the mansion, seeing such a small fight did not embarrass the Qian family, but let her and I hug and follow closely, there must be more vicious backstrokes waiting.

As he spoke, it was July, and the weather was hot and dry, and there was almost no one in the house. Qian and I were eating the chilled fruits we had grown in the yard, when we saw Xiao Shunzi come over and say in a deep voice: "In the morning, Degege was unwell and asked the imperial doctor to diagnose Ximai. “

I was silent for a while, and thought about Yinzhen's concubines and heirs in my memory, but I didn't seem to have the memory of this Degege and her children.

Degege is the daughter of a Mongolian nobleman, and her original status should be much higher than that of the Li family, but she was pointed out to enter the mansion and bend to Gege, if she gives birth to an heir, even if she only gives birth to a daughter, she may also be raised to the side of Fujin and the Li family on an equal footing, if she gives birth to a son, then the child of the Li family will inevitably not be able to compete for Degege's child in the future because of the bloodline problem. Therefore, it is impossible for the Li family to stand idly by and watch this child, and will inevitably do something.

Thinking of Degege, who didn't have much ink in history, and never heard of children, the anxiety in his heart became bigger and bigger, so he reminded: "I don't think the Li family will let this child be born, and maybe she will blame us for this matter, so be careful." “

Just after the news of the happy pulse from Degege, there was also movement on the side of the Ulanala clan. Within two days, there was news that Jiao Xing next to the Wulanala clan was taken in by Yinzhen, although she had no status, but in the end it was a little different from ordinary girls.

Hearing the news, I first ran over 10,000 grass and mud horses in my heart, and then sneered and secretly thought that this girl's wish to climb the bed was finally achieved, and I don't know how the villain will succeed in the future.

The things in the house are one after another, and it is estimated that the Li family needs some time to think of countermeasures. There were some more peaceful birthdays in the small courtyard.

After dinner that day, it was still early, and he was talking with Qian in the courtyard when he saw Yinzhen and Su Peisheng pacing in without hurry.

In addition to seeing Yinzhen from a distance when he mourned Honghui that day, this time it was the first time to meet him at close range, it was inevitable that he was a little nervous, and he hurriedly stood up, and he almost forgot the action of asking for peace, let alone saying hello, and stammered for a long time before he said the sentence "Slave Qian asks for peace to the master".

I took her hand, signaled her not to be afraid, stepped forward as usual to salute, and said: "Slave Geng's greeting to the master."

Yin Zhen just glanced at Qian in a hurry, turned his head and looked at me with his usual cold and quiet appearance, and teased: "It seems that many people in the courtyard really have some benefits, and there are more rules than usual." “

I know what he said is that I rarely call myself a slave in front of him, and usually go straight to him "I" and "I", and even ask for peace is just a simple sentence of "please say goodbye to the master". Usually he indulged me and never corrected it, but today I saw that I was greeting him according to the etiquette with the "slave" in Qian's mouth, but I was afraid that I felt rare and uncomfortable, so he deliberately squeezed me with words.

Because of the presence of the rich family, I always had a hard time refuting Yinzhen's face, so I had to laugh and respond: "Slaves have always been well-behaved, but the master doesn't come often, so I don't know." "What do you mean by this that I am less here, and I am a little resentful?" The corners of Yinzhen's mouth were slightly hooked, he walked to my side, turned his back to Qian and whispered a joke rhetorical question, and then returned to his normal color, and said to Qian with clear eyes: "You retreat first."

Qian didn't know what Yinzhen wanted to do when he came this time, and when he heard this, he looked at me worriedly, and saw that I looked as usual, and it was not good to stay long, so he had to leave with Su Peisheng and go back to his house.

Without the Qian family, I am no longer formal, I straightened up without waiting for him to be polite, and said to Wanqing: "The master should have not had a meal when he came over at this time, just bring the plum wine brewed some time ago, cook some porridge, and make some side dishes." “

Wanqing knew that I was deliberately supporting her, so she retreated in response to the words.

Yin Zhen paced around the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Usually when I come in the middle of the night, I haven't looked carefully at your courtyard, I have nothing to do today, I didn't expect you to have some artistic conception of Tao Gong's paradise here." "I prefer his 'picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and leisurely seeing Nanshan'. Walk around the yard with him, and respond meaningfully to his words. "It's a pity that everything can't go well in this life, so it's better to be at peace with what happens. Yinzhen also replied meaningfully.

I just smiled and didn't answer again, acquiescing to what he meant.

Seeing that I didn't even raise the bar with him, Yin Zhen couldn't help but stop and look at me for a moment, and asked, "How are you doing during this time?" "Xiao Shunzi doesn't report my movements to you every day, don't you know how I'm doing?" I looked up at him in surprise, puzzled why he asked. "I've heard a lot. For example, before you had a verbal conversation with Degege, she said to me that you excluded and slandered her, but I didn't believe it. For example, Honghui was sick, and only you went to visit, but later the doctor came over and said that you admired foreign flattery and did not respect the sages. and Honghui ......" mentioned Honghui, a trace of sadness flashed on Yinzhen's face, but he quickly put it down and continued: "That day, Fujin wanted to dispose of the Qian family, Xiaoshunzi and Wanqing said that you fought against Fujin for the Qian family, and you also broke into the Qian family's yard to defend it. Then I heard that you led the Qian family to openly fight against the side Fujin, and you went to Fujin to say that Hongshike killed Honghui......"

Speaking of this, Yin Zhen paused, looked at my reaction, and saw that I just lowered my head and didn't speak, sighed and said, "When did you become so noisy." “

Hearing his words, I only felt aggrieved, and asked in a cold tone: "When I used to endure and not fight, you thought I was stubborn and didn't definitely bow my head, but now I want to live a good life, but the tree wants to be quiet and the wind does not stop, when you are in the gentle township, I can only desperately survive in the cracks, what do you still want me to do?"

Yin Zhen saw that I was moved by his words, and then fell silent, and after a while, I saw that I was almost crying, so he stepped forward and hugged me from behind, and said softly: "You care, right? In fact, I have been snubbing you these days, just to see if you will care." I feel very happy to see you make all this noise, at least it shows that you care. “

Yinzhen's words made me not know how to deal with it. It may be true that I care, but it's not entirety. In fact, most of the reasons are still for self-preservation and planning for the future. But since he thinks so, I don't want to deny it, so I can take it as a reward for him pampering me and pampering me.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Yinzhen just acquiesced, and the hands around my waist became tighter and tighter, and I could feel his joy and restlessness.

Thinking of the hidden worries brought by Li, Degege and Jiaoxing, I turned around and held his face, took the initiative to put a kiss on his lips, and said shyly: "Naturally, I care, but I don't make a fuss because of this, I'm not such a stingy person." “

Before Yinzhen came out of the surprise of my kiss, he took his hand away from his waist, pulled him to the stone table and sat down, and told him the cause and effect of those things in the past few days, but most of the words mentioned the consideration of him, the Ulanara clan and the Baylor Mansion, and concealed those predictions for the future and his own plans. just said in passing: "Fujin is the master of the mansion after all, you still have to walk around her courtyard more, don't let people think that you have snubbed your wife, and it is not easy to explain it to the emperor." There is also Song Gege's courtyard, she started when she was a child, and you snubbed her like this, so I will feel cold when I see it. You don't have to worry about me, no matter how much trouble you make, I have a sense of proportion, and I won't cause you trouble. “

After listening to what I said, he smiled and said, "It's hard for you to think carefully about the overall situation." As for who to pet or not, I am free to consider, you just need to know that it is different for you after all. “

I didn't want to explore how reliable Yinzhen's implied promise was, so I just nodded and said, "If something happens, you can also believe in me." “

just talked, waited for Wanqing to serve the wine and food, and talked and laughed until late at night. I wanted him to go to another courtyard to rest, but Yinzhen saw that the time was not early, so he simply stayed in the courtyard that night and stayed overnight, and got up directly from this courtyard the next day to go out of the house to do errands.
