"If not, new teas and pastries," Qian commanded.

Fresh Huangshan tea and wakata pastries were served on the table, and Mrs. Fang smiled, "This is what I specially bought from Jijinfang, freshly baked, and it is their new pastry." Ah Ying, look at your recent weight loss, let's try it!" she looked at Li Ying expectantly.

Li Ying smiled slightly, "I'm sorry, Aunt Qian." Recently, my body is not very good, and I am still using medicine, so I am afraid that it will conflict with the properties of the medicine, so you should use it. ”

Mrs. Fang was slightly disappointed, and reluctantly cheered up, "This, it's okay, it's okay." It's that my aunt didn't think about it, and my aunt's is not. ”

"How can Aunt say that! You bring something to Ying'er, it's too late for me to be happy!" Li Ying said politely, "Cuixiang, bring the butterfly cake that the queen mother appreciated, and bring it back to Aunt Qian to taste." ”

Qian and Mrs. Fang's hearts were shocked, and Mrs. Fang hurriedly said, "Ah, Ah Ying, don't be so polite..."

Li Ying said in a low voice, "Aunt Qian, are you disgusting me?" picked up a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, "Dislike me as a poor person!" Glancing at Mrs. Fang.

"No, no, it's not like this", Mrs. Fang hurriedly stood up and argued, she didn't expect a little girl who was for Ji Lu to have such a sharp gaze, she seemed to see the queen.

Qian hurriedly relieved his mother and said with a smile, "It's too late for my mother to be happy if I can eat the pastries rewarded by the queen!"

Mrs. Fang calmed down, in the past, she could be free in front of the queen, let alone now. "Of course it is!"

Li Ying smiled and said, "That's good, Cuixiang, pack a copy of the autumn pears sent by Princess Liu Ying yesterday to the Qian family's aunt." ”

"Yes", Cui Xiang said secretly in her heart, there is a queen behind our young lady, and I don't dare to touch the young lady even a penny.

"Then thank you Ah Ying", Mrs. Fang said politely.

Li Ying pursed his lips and smiled, "The family doesn't talk to each other, Aunt Qian, are you still polite to me!?"

Mrs. Fang laughed with her, what kind of family, this is not the aunt of the Qian family, it is clearly a raw point. In the past, I only thought that this child didn't like to talk, but today's speech can choke people to death. The real person does not show his face, Mrs. Fang can be regarded as knowledgeable.

When Cuixiang brought butterfly crisp and autumn pear, and then sent Mrs. Fang away, it was almost dark. The Qian family left Li Ying to have dinner in her room, and Li Bu did not come back today, so Li Ying politely refused.

When she returned to the tea garden, Cuixiang saw that there was no one around, and said to Li Ying, "Miss, Mrs. Fang is too deceitful today, we have to tell Master Hou about this." You are Hou Ye's sister-in-law, and Hou Ye will not disobey you. ”

Looking at Cuixiang's sincere appearance, Li Ying shook her head, "They don't dare to touch me, especially after today's incident." She shook her fan and lay down on the leisure chair.

"Miss, the weather is so cold, don't use this fan, it looks weirdly cold", Cui Xiang looked at the white fan, there was no pattern on it. This fan was given by Jing in the summer, and General Li Kang promised to paint the fan. Thinking of this layer, Cuixiang choked up like a frosted eggplant, "I'm sorry, Miss, I'm troublesome." ”

Li Ying tapped the handrail with a fan, knocking and knocking, making a knocking sound. It was half a sound before Cuixiang heard a voice, "You're right, it's time to put it away." The stove should be replaced. Li Ying shook his head again, "What kind of stove do you use, it's only October now, and the weather is dry and cold." ”

Cuixiang took the fan handed over by Li Ying, but there was nothing on the fan surface, but there was a little water stain.

When Cuixiang put away the fan, it was completely dark, and she rushed back to the inner room, only to find that the lights had not been lit yet. She sternly looked at the two little maids guarding the door, Shu Yu and Meng Xi, and said in a low voice, "How did you do an errand, you didn't light the lamp for the master when it was dark, which steward taught you?!"

The two girls knelt down together, and the elder Shu Yu defended, "Sister Cuixiang, we don't dare, it's the young lady who won't let us in." ”

Cuixiang sighed, "Bring me the lamp, I'll come." ”

Meng Xi trembled and handed the palace lamp to Cuixiang, who glanced at her, "Lack of practice." ”

The palace lamp lit up the inner room little by little, Li Ying carried the light, and Cuixiang couldn't see her expression clearly. If it had been before, she would have said, "Mademoiselle can't do this, Madame would be worried about your body." Li Ying is not afraid of his father and several elder brothers, but only the Jing family. Now, Cuixiang can't say such things, and Madame is gone. "Miss, it's getting dark, you haven't had dinner yet! Today, the cook cooked your favorite apricot cheese, which can be used as a snack after dinner!"

Li Ying didn't move, "I don't have an appetite", got up, used to getting a fan, but now it's gone. Li Ying's hands paused, and the green silk in his ears was arranged, "I never felt that you were nagging before, why have you been like an old woman lately." ”

Cuixiang didn't dare to answer, so she lit up the other palace lamps first. In an instant, the entire inner room lit up.

"Are they back?"

"Master Hou and the second master went out together, and they haven't come back yet. "Cuixiang used to be the eldest young master, and the second young master called like a second young master, and the master was Li Kang.

"Forget it, is there porridge in the kitchen?"

Cuixiang nodded hurriedly, "Yes, there are mustard porridge and shrimp porridge." Which one do you want, Miss?"

"Where did the shrimp come from?" Li Ying asked puzzled, the capital is inland, shrimp, it should be river shrimp.

"The second master sees that your appetite has not been very good recently, and before he went out this morning, he asked someone to send it", Cuixiang specially accentuated the second master, hoping that the young lady would eat more for the sake of the second master.

Li Ling sent it? Li Ying's heart passed by with a warm current, washing away all the unhappiness of today, "Then shrimp porridge!"

When the steaming shrimp porridge was served, Li Ying felt a little appetizing.

The shrimp are very large, the porridge is very sweet, and Li Ying used two bowls. Cuixiang looked at it and was overjoyed.

Looking at the empty desk, Li Ying was the only one who dined, and she suddenly missed the time when the family had breakfast in the past. Li Ling is very picky, Li Bu eats whatever he has, Jing's is silent, but Li Dare likes to talk.

"Cuixiang, sit down and dine with me", Li Ying suddenly ordered.

Cuixiang had to sit down and eat shrimp porridge one bite at a time, not knowing the taste.

Li Ying felt a little popular at this time, and she also used a small half bowl of mustard porridge.

When it was time to go to bed at night, Li Bu Li Ling still didn't come back, and the Qian family left the door for them.

White moonlight shone in through the window and hit the face. Li Ying looked up and saw that the bright moon in the sky was almost full. At this time, she remembered Liu Ying's post, the day after tomorrow is October 15, the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Ying is going to the Lingnu Temple, and asks Li Ying if she wants to bring something. Li Ying is still in the filial piety period, less than 100 days, and can't go out yet.

On October 15 of previous years, the Jing clan would make grand preparations, which is the custom of witch blessings.
