The two daughters-in-law came from the other side of the path, each holding a basket with something in it, talking and laughing. More than ten zhang away, they saw their eldest lady Qin Hanzhen sitting in Fengwei Xuan, reading a book in her hand. Qin Hanzhen's eldest girl, Feng'er, stood aside, holding a folding fan, and gently fanned the wind for her master.

Although the two daughters-in-law knew each other well, their temperaments were not very different. Seeing this, one of them pulled his companion's sleeve and left: "The third girl is reading over there, let's not disturb her." Her companion hesitated and refused to leave: "The third girl is here, there is only one girl by her side, and I don't know if there is any order for others to do it? ”

The former looked at the latter in surprise: "Are you crazy? If the third girl has orders, Feng'er is not there? Where can we use the two of us? We still have an errand, hurry up and dig up the bamboo shoots and send them to the kitchen, otherwise the kitchen will be impatient to wait for a while, and you and I will have to eat and hang!"

The latter didn't take her words very seriously: "What are you afraid of? If the third girl asks us to do something, who in the kitchen will dare to scold us? If we are well-dressed and can go into the inner courtyard to do things, even if we don't work in front of the third girl, it is better than doing rough work now! On weekdays, we don't have much chance to get on the side of the nobles, and now that the third girl is in front of us, is it possible to really let go of this pie that fell from the sky?"

The former also hesitated. The latter raised his feet and was about to walk towards Fengwei Xuan.

Feng'er had actually been leaving an unexpected head in the Xuan, and when she saw the two daughters-in-law just stop at the intersection in front of her, she couldn't help frowning. She subconsciously glanced down at Zhao Mo who was sitting on the ground under the window, and then at Qin Hanzhen who was sitting on the bamboo chair in front of the window, paused, and then walked out of Fengweixuan and walked towards the two daughters-in-law.

She asked them with a cold face, "What are you doing here?" Can't you see the girl reading in the Fengwei Xuan, and she needs to be quiet the most?"

The two daughters-in-law suddenly breathed their breath. Feng'er, as the big girl in front of Qin Hanzhen, has always been favored and reused, and her status has faintly surpassed that of the big girls who were born in the family, and even Qin Hanzhen's henchman Qingxing brought back from the northwest was not as good as Feng'er is now when she was still in the mansion in the past. She is not born in a family, and she has no relatives and friends in the Qin family's two marquis' mansions, she is really carefree, and no one can buy anyone's face, but no one can ignore her. Everyone knows that Feng'er has weight in front of the third girl, Qin Hanzhen, and cannot be easily offended. Therefore, if Feng'er is kind to them, they will be flattered, and if Feng'er has a straight face for them, then no one will dare to make her angry again.

The daughter-in-law who loved to save trouble in front of her quickly said to Feng'er: "The little ones were ordered by the kitchen to come and dig some bamboo shoots." Seeing that the three girls were here, I was afraid that it would disturb the peace of the three girls, so I didn't know what to do. ”

There are a lot of bamboos planted around Fengweixuan, and the kitchen will occasionally come to dig up some bamboo shoots, just to make them fresh, but if you want to eat good bamboo shoots, you still have to rely on a few Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing to send them over. Feng'er didn't plan to let the two daughters-in-law dig bamboo shoots nearby. There is only one wall in Fengwei Xuan, there are door openings on the left and right, and there are big windows in the front, God knows if they will find Zhao Mo hiding in the Xuan?

She said to the two daughters-in-law, "The girl wants to read quietly here for a while, and don't bother her." There are also a lot of bamboos on the other side of the grass pavilion, and there must be bamboo shoots as well, so you dig over there. ”

The grass pavilion is located in the other corner of the garden, much farther away than Fengweixuan, and the amount of bamboo planted is not as large as here, and the bamboo shoots produced are even less. The two daughters-in-law were a little disappointed when they saw that they had to walk a little longer, but they didn't dare to offend Feng'er, so they had to agree.

However, the very self-motivated daughter-in-law was still a little unwilling to give up: "On this hot day, the third girl is reading in the palace, I don't know if she is thirsty? Let's send some tea to the third girl? And there ......are many mosquitoes in this garden."

Feng'er interrupted her: "Don't worry, I have everything I need." The tea is in the xuan, and the incense of mosquito repellent is lit, and I even have a fan, so I don't have to worry about it. Hurry up, don't make any noise here. She stared at the other party a little more, "If the quarrel annoys our girl, blame it, I'll just say it, but I just say two sentences, and others may not be lucky to avoid it." ”

The daughter-in-law's ambition withered, and she honestly followed her companion to the direction of the grass pavilion, and didn't dare to say a word. If it was in Dongfu in the past, those girls occasionally behaved coquettishly, there was nothing to be afraid of, just to prevent the second grandmother Yao from severely punishing people because of the complaints of the second girl Qin Jinhua, and it would be fine. But now that she has arrived in Xifu, the third girl is helping her lady to take charge of the middle feed, and she can remove her messenger with a word, and she will never dare to offend this charming guest who holds real power.

Feng'er watched the two daughters-in-law disappear at the end of the path, and their figures were completely covered by the shadows of the bushes before turning around with confidence. But before she could enter the Xuanli, she stopped, thought about it, and decided to simply stand guard at the entrance of the Xuan. The view here is very good, and you can see when people appear on the road on both sides from a distance, and you can warn the people in Xuanzhong in time.

By the way, she can also avoid making a candle, which is still a very bright one - Feng'er actually doesn't understand very well, how can she be regarded as a candle, anyway...... That's what her girl said.

Qin Hanzhen saw that Feng'er didn't come in, so he whispered to Zhao Mo: "The people outside are gone, it looks like they shouldn't have found you." ”

Zhao Mo sat on the ground in a very chic posture, looked up and smiled at her: "Feng'er didn't even drive me away! Is that really Feng'er?"

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him angrily, and told him with a slight flush on his cheeks that this was because they were now engaged, and as the future husband of Feng'er's master, his status was different from the past, so his treatment would also be improved.

Zhao Mo laughed when he heard it: "That's great." Seriously, I'm a little scared of her. Every time I approach my cousin, she looks like she wants to punch me. If she doesn't show me that kind of face again, I'll be relieved. ”

Qin Hanzhen glanced at him and held back the smile on the corner of his mouth: "This is very difficult to say, although she treats you a little more respectfully now, but if you continue to owe like this, it is difficult to say whether she will be provoked by you again, she will really punch you." I have something to say first, she is my girl, and she beats people for the sake of protecting the Lord, I may not blame her for you. ”

Zhao Mo was surprised: "What does it mean to owe your mouth?"

Qin Hanzhen grimaced at him: "It's those frivolous things you just said, you never said this in front of me before." ”

Zhao Mo smiled: "How was it the same in the past, you were my cousin in the past, and I wanted to treat each other politely." You are my fiancée now, and sooner or later you will be a family, and your own family naturally does not need to be polite. ”

Qin Hanzhen smacked at him: "Who is a family with you? When I really marry you, it's not too late for you to say this again!"

Zhao Mo took her hand and smiled: "Isn't that a matter of time or time? ”

Qin Hanzhen could only give him another roll of the eyes, and then urged him to get up quickly: "I don't know how long the ground hasn't been swept over, you are still a newly made clothes, right? ”

Zhao Mo looked down at the hem of his clothes: "It's okay." There is a roof to shelter from the wind and rain, and the dust in the pavilion is naturally much less than outside. I'm sitting pretty comfortable now, and I don't want to toss. Otherwise, someone will come outside again in a while, and I will have to hide again. It's better to be like now, when people outside can't see me, and I can hold my cousin's hand and talk well. ”

Qin Hanzhen turned his head away a little embarrassed, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly: "What do you want to say to me?"

Zhao Mo put his elbows on his knees, supported his chin, and looked at her with a smile: "You can say anything." I'm free today, I haven't seen you for so long, so I'm just spending a little more time with you. ”

Qin Hanzhen said angrily: "You have been here for a long time, you will be discovered sooner or later." If you don't leave for a long time, and outsiders don't ask, won't the elders of Dongfu say anything? If they go to Zheguitai and ask Brother Lobby, you don't need Brother Lobby to say anything, you will be in trouble. ”

Zhao Mo didn't care: "Goofs are goofs, is it possible that they still have to tell the matter?"

For the sake of the reputation of the Qin family, the female relatives of the Qin family will definitely help to conceal it when the time comes, and maybe they will order their subordinates not to talk about it privately. Zhao Mo knew about the entanglement, and he didn't take it to heart, but Qin Hanzhen was thin-skinned, even if outsiders didn't know, just the jokes between the elders and brothers and sisters in the East Mansion were enough for her to be ashamed.

Qin Hanzhen glared at Zhao Mo again angrily, and decided to change the topic again: "I went to the palace earlier, and the Queen Mother summoned me over. There is one thing that I think is a little strange, is there an enemy of yours around the Queen Mother? There is also a Wu Siyan, I don't know if you know it?" she told Zhao Mo about the experience of the day she entered the palace, and in order to ensure that Zhao Mo could get enough information, she told almost everything in detail.

Zhao Mo told her: "Wu Siyan and I are not very familiar with each other, but they are also common. She treated me very respectfully, and I rewarded her with a great reward. She's still reliable, but she may be a little inflammatory. However, the people in the palace are the norm to tend to the flames and attach the trend, and it is not a big deal. As for the person who mentioned you in front of the Queen Mother......" he paused, and his heart was a little unhappy, "Most of them are not well-intentioned, but I don't know what his intentions are." Leave this matter to me, don't worry. ”

Qin Hanzhen said: "I don't have anything to worry about, anyway, the Queen Mother doesn't mean anything to embarrass me." Although the unknown person seems to have bad intentions, as long as the Queen Mother does not listen to him, there is nothing to worry about. ”

Zhao Mo smiled and said to her: "Even if the Queen Mother embarrasses you that day, there is nothing to worry about." If you hadn't left Cining Palace earlier, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have arrived to save you. ”

Qin Han was really surprised: "His Royal Highness the Prince? are you saying that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was that day...... Rush to Cining Palace to save me?!"

Zhao Mo said with a smile: "I was in the East Palace that day, and I heard that you were summoned by the Queen Mother, so I begged the prince." Unfortunately, the news from the palace was slow to spread, and it was too late for me to learn about it. Fortunately, the Queen Mother has never embarrassed you. ”

Qin Hanzhen sighed: "The prince has a lot of opportunities, just the government is busy enough, and his health is not good. Why do you have to work for me for a little thing, and besides, the Queen Mother has no reason to embarrass me?"

"The Queen Mother may not embarrass you. Zhao Mo said, "But she may give you a parenting, what should you do then?"

Qin Hanzhen was stunned.
