Let's say that Ying Huaizhen saw his father and mother sitting in the hall, relatively speechless, and only felt that the situation was wrong, so he asked how it was.

Seeing that her daughter was faintly worried, Li Xianshu got up with a smile and said, "It's nothing...... Just a few gossips, but where have you been? ”

Ying Huaizhen looked at the two of them and replied, "I sat with Sister Yu'er at Brother Chunhui's side for a while." ”

Li Xianshu said with a smile: "It's a cold day, don't run outside if it's okay, so as not to suffer from the wind and cold again." That's right...... Your father said it just now, don't you want to ask Xiu'er to come back? He's approved, don't you thank your father? ”

Ying Huaizhen listened, his eyes lit up slightly, he looked at Ying Lanfeng, and asked softly, "Dad agreed?" ”

Ying Lanfeng got up and walked to her side, and said, "Just follow your will." ”

Ying Huaizhen raised his head, his eyes were relative, and he only felt that his father's eyes were bright and warm, as always, but after all this, there seemed to be a bit of strange strangeness, but this strangeness was like a sense of familiarity in memory.

Ying Huaizhen was in a trance for a moment, but he lowered his head again and said softly: "Thank you dad reads();." ”

Ying Lanfeng was not very happy when she saw her expression, she opened her mouth, but she didn't make a sound, just held Ying Huaizhen's hand, but felt that her little hand was cold, Ying Lanfeng sighed, and said: "Huaizhen, dad as long as you know...... No matter what, Dad just wants you to be happy and safe, no matter what method you use, and you don't care what means you use. ”

Ying Huaizhen heard this, but he felt that his throat was hard, and he didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Li Xianshu still smiled and said, "You father and daughter talk together, I still have something to do." With that, he turned around and went out, and when he arrived at the gate of the East Courtyard, he stopped, Li Xianshu turned around and asked Ruyi: "Where did the second master go?" ”

Ruyi called the two girls to ask, and when she came back in an instant, she said, "The second master went to Miss Rui's room." ”。

Li Xianshu listened, sneered, pulled out her legs and left, Ruyi vaguely guessed a few points, and said: "Second grandma, is it okay to go now?" ”

Li Xianshu said: "What are you afraid of? Ying Rui was lying on the bed, and when she saw that she was coming, there was a hint of panic in her eyes, and she hurriedly got up.

Li Xianshu looked around the house for a while, and her heart was shocked, but she walked to Ying Rui's side, held her down, and said with a smile: "You are sick, why do you want to get up?" ”

Ying Rui had no choice but to lie down, and said, "Why did my mother come in person?" I'm sick, but it's hard to get a visit...... If you are sick, how can you be good? ”

Li Xianshu said with a pleasant face: "I am your mother, I should have come and see more, but I was afraid of disturbing your illness, and I have been doing too much, so I was negligent...... Speaking of which, how is your house so unseemly? Did I remember that wasn't like that? ”

It turned out that after Aunt Yang was gone, Li Xianshu lost her biological mother in Yingrui, wouldn't it be lonely to live alone? I planned to ask her to move to the east courtyard to live together, so I came here, and I had the impression that there were a lot of furnishings and things in this house, and it was not as simple and deserted as it is now.

Unexpectedly, at that time, Ying Rui only said that she still wanted to live in Aunt Yang's house, which could be regarded as a thought of her biological mother, since everyone said so, Li Xianshu naturally couldn't force people to make it difficult, so she gave up.

Later, I also came to visit every once in a while, but Ying Rui's expression was only faint, although it was not alienation, but it was by no means close, and Li Xianshu was not a person with a sweet belly, thinking that since you don't like to kiss me, why should I put your cold fart/stock on your hot face? What's more, she is a serious mother-in-law after all, it stands to reason that Ying Rui should have come to her in the past to be respectful and warm, and there is no other way around.

Therefore, after Li Xianshu went seven or eight times, she gradually became lazy, just once a month, or once a few months to see it, and if there was anything, she just sent the maid there.

Although there are many things to do this year, I don't come here much, but I remember that when I came back last time, it was in August, and I have the impression that this house was not what it is now.

Li Xianshu knew that something was wrong, and seeing that Ying Rui was like this, she didn't say anything, but only asked with a smile: whether you took medicine on time, how did you feel about your body, etc., and then withdrew.

After Li Xianshu withdrew, she immediately called Ruyi to call the two maids who were waiting for Ying Rui, and asked, "When did the layout in the girl's room become like this?" ”

The two maids looked at each other for a long time before they said, "We don't know the girl's intentions...... It's just that, since last month, the girl suddenly disliked the layout in the house was too tacky, and first asked some brightly colored decorations and other things to go...... Slowly, I refused to ask for anything. It's all called moving away, picking it up, or giving it away. ”

Li Xianshu frowned, and asked, "Then why do I also look at the old bedding?" Could it be that the girl's quilt is old, and you don't say anything? Even if you don't report to the official, then the girl has a monthly money of one or two pieces of silver every month, even if she is herself, it is enough to buy a new bed? ”

Or the maid said, "Why haven't you told the girl?" It's just that this quilt was found after the winter, and the girl personally called through the box to find it...... It was said that the new ones were not warm, and that the old ones were better, and we persuaded them twice, but the girl just refused to listen to reads();. ”

The other maid listened, and said nothing. Li Xianshu looked at her and said, "Then how did you get sick?" There are also records in the account, just the doctor has invited two, and the medicine has been taken several times, why is it not good? ”

The maid said, "I don't know about this slave, but I heard that 'sickness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread', probably it will be slower." ”

Li Xianshu smiled slightly and said, "What you said also makes some sense. ”

The two maids stood on the ground, and for some reason they interrogated so meticulously. Li Xianshu smiled, looked at the maid next to her, and asked, "Why don't you make a sound?" Dare me to ask, didn't you hear? ”

The maid's name was Ye'er, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly said: "Second grandmother forgive, I don't dare to pretend that I didn't hear it, but seeing that Xiaoluo said it, I can't say it anymore." ”

Li Xianshu said: "In this case, I only ask you, how many times a day do you girls take medicine, how do you take it?" ”

Ye Er said: "The girl takes medicine twice a day, once at noon and once at night, which we sent to the room after boiling the medicine, and the girl drank it herself." ”

Li Xianshu thought for a while, and then asked again: "What does it mean to drink by yourself, could it be that none of you have ever been there?" ”

Ye Er was silent for a moment before saying, "Yes...... The girl said she would drink it slowly, so she didn't tell us to come to us. ”

Li Xianshu's heart was shocked, and she was about to stand up immediately, but she slowly sat back, and said with a smile: "You are too careless in serving, I made the girl sick before, and I didn't punish you, but now I don't even look at the girl to drink the medicine, since this is the case, what use do you want?" ”

When Ye'er and Xiaoluo heard this, they both knelt on the ground and said, "Second grandma forgive, we won't dare in the future." ”

Li Xianshu said: "Don't be afraid, I don't want to blame you, but you should be careful in the future, such as drinking medicine, what if the girl refuses to drink it?" Sneak it out while you're away...... How do you know? Isn't this disease forever cured? I'm good to say, but the second master feels sorry for the girl, and when he sees that she can't get better, he naturally wants to punish you first? ”

Ye Er said: "We must be diligent and careful in the future, we must watch the girl drink the medicine, and beg the second grandmother to spare us." ”

Li Xianshu said: "Don't be busy saying anything else, I want to spare you, but the second master feels sorry for his daughter, and he always wants to take someone to play dozens of boards to get angry......"

When the two girls heard this, they were scared, busy and begging for mercy, Li Xianshu said: "Don't be busy yet...... If you really want to get away with it, I have an idea. ”

The two were busy asking questions, and Li Xianshu beckoned, "You two come here." Ye Er and Xiao Luo stepped forward, Li Xianshu said a few words in a low voice, the two looked at each other, and finally kowtowed.

After the two maids went, Ruyi said, "Second grandmother, what's going on?" I'm confused. ”

Li Xianshu thought for a while, smiled coldly, and said, "It's not just you who are confused?" Looking at it now, it looks like we were just being played by a hairy girl......" Speaking of this, he suddenly frowned and said, "No......"

Ruyi asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Li Xianshu didn't say anything, just got up and said, "You'll know reads() later;." As an opinion, he silently measured it in his heart, and accompanied her out.

Li Xianshu went out and went straight to Xu Yuan's room, Xu Yuan was dozing off on the beauty couch and thinking about things, and when he saw her coming, he hurriedly got up and gave up his seat.

Li Xianshu said: "No need, you are just crooked." ”

Xu Yuan didn't dare to be presumptuous, he still sat up, and when Xiying saw Li Xianshu coming, he personally served tea and came up, and then retreated.

In the house, Xu Yuan looked at the expression on Li Xianshu's face, and tried to ask, "What's wrong with my sister-in-law?" But it seems like something. ”

Li Xianshu thought for a long time before saying: "I don't understand one thing very well, and I can only ask you if I think about it." ”

Xu Yuan hurriedly smiled: "Sister-in-law said something to ask, just ask." Just that I'm doing something wrong? ”

Lee Hyun-sook said: "Don't do your business...... That's the case, if there is a son and a half daughter in your room, and this child has been targeting you and secretly stumbling in front of the third master, how will you cook? ”

Xu Yuan was surprised when he heard this, but he frowned and sneered: "If she really has the blessing to give birth to a rabbit cub, then if the rabbit cub obediently says, it is okay to say, if you dare to do what you say, sister-in-law...... I'm afraid that I will make him regret that he was born from his mother's womb! ”

Li Xianshu's heart was shocked, and she carefully measured Xu Yuan for a long time, and did not speak.

Xu Yuan was weak in her heart, first thought about everything in his room, and felt that there was nothing wrong, and suddenly he understood with a change of thought, and immediately lowered his voice and asked, "Sister-in-law...... Forgive me for saying more, could it be...... It's Ying Rui, that girl, she ......"

Seeing that she had already guessed, Li Xianshu simply stopped hiding it, so she told Ying Lanfeng to pay attention to Ying Rui, and how she went to Ying Rui's room to check and other things.

After Xu Yuan heard this, he was greatly surprised, and said: "This girl has such scheming? After thinking for a while, he suddenly sneered: "No wonder, I thought it was ...... Even though it was born by my aunt, and the dead ghost is gone, we have never neglected it in the end, and we have invited two doctors to come and see, but both of them are quacks, and the disease has always been bad, but it has become more serious! Think about it again, when did Rui'er get sick? Isn't it the end of October? But what about the second master before he returned to Beijing? If this isn't this girl's bitter trick, I'll twist my head! ”

Li Xianshu had already guessed in her heart that this was the case, but she still didn't believe that Ying Rui was a girl who had such a scheming, so she ordered Xiaoluo and Ye'er to go back and stare at it, and told them to boil the medicine and leave it for Ying Rui as usual, and they were still not in front of them as before...... Just secretly see if she drinks or not, if she is naughty and doesn't drink, she will go back and forth, and the disease will naturally have nothing to do with the maids, so the two maids obeyed the order.

Li Xianshu thought in her heart: If you drink it, it's fine, if you don't drink it...... Then this series of "bitter meat tricks" naturally did not run.

However, Li Xianshu thought about it again: Ying Rui had already complained to Ying Lanfeng after acting, but she was afraid that after the medicine was sent in the future, she would inevitably drink it obediently...... Therefore, this order is secretly investigated, but I am afraid that most of it is useless.

That's why I came to talk to Xu Yuanxiang about it. Now seeing Xu Yuan's categorical assurance, Li Xianshu is cold in her heart, and she feels hateful, and her heart is cold in this mansion, even Ying Rui, a girl, is full of scheming to deal with people, and what she hates is that Ying Rui is bent on working against her, and that's it, Ying Lanfeng also believed Ying Rui because of this, and was suspicious of herself.

When Xu Yuan saw that she was distracted, he called twice and said, "How is my sister-in-law going to cook now?" ”

Li Xianshu looked at her with a sober mind, and said after a while: "She has no mother, I pity her, and I pride myself on never being mean, if she is as sensible as Ying Pei, I still hurt as much as I hurt Huaizhen...... Why is it that now, there is such a heart? ”

Xu Yuan said: "Sister-in-law, the people at the bottom of your day are all people like you?" After saying just one word, I stopped reads();.

It turned out that Xu Yuan had been thinking for a long time, and he had another sentence that he wanted to remind Li Xianshu, but he was afraid of what he said...... Instead, he got into trouble, and after thinking about it, he only smiled and said: "As long as my sister-in-law is ruthless, how can I not be at the mercy?" I'm just afraid that you're ruthless...... Speaking of which, this new girl from the Gu family is a good one, I saw that she also went to visit Rui'er's room today, and sure enough, as the old lady said, she is a virtuous and kind-hearted person, and it is strange that the old lady hurts her or something. ”

Li Xianshu saw her say this sentence for no reason, and suddenly fell into a heart problem of her, stared at Xu Yuan for a while, and felt like a mirror in her heart, and did not say anything, but smiled: "But isn't it?" It's just that these two girls are also at the age of getting married, and they came to Beijing in a good manner, don't they want to find a husband in this Beijing? ”

Xu Yuan heard this sentence and knew that she understood. Then he also said: "But isn't it? It's just that there are a mixture of dragons and snakes in this capital, but it's good to keep your eyes open, and it's naturally best to find the right one, and we are all happy. I'm afraid that I don't know how to find the wrong person, so I don't know how to say it. ”

The two talked for a long time before Lee Hyun Sook went by herself. That night, Xiaoluo really came to report quietly, saying that Ying Rui had drunk the medicine, and Li Xianshu didn't say anything, just told them to serve well in the future.

A few days later, the winter solstice had passed, and it was nearly dusk, and suddenly snow began to fall.

Ling Jingshen changed guards from the city gate, rode back on horseback, and was walking in a roundabout way, seeing that the snow was getting bigger and bigger, Ling Jingshen looked up at the sky, and suddenly thought of a certain year, a certain month, and a certain day, he had walked hand in hand with people walking on the snow, at that time, those laughter seemed to be able to shatter the nine heavens of Qiongyu.

Jing Shen stopped for a moment at the fork in the road, and then asked his entourage to go home first, only to report that there was still a party and that he would go home later, so that the young grandmother did not have to wait for him to eat, and the entourage took the order.

The depth of field looked at the snow for a while, and after a while, he turned the horse's head and went to the street on the right, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, he stopped at a familiar door.

The verdant bamboos at the door were pressed by the snow, and the dusk revealed a deep verdant color, and the red lanterns were half beaten by the snow, which was interesting.

The depth of field was staring at the effort, suddenly the door was opened, a little girl came out, saw him, jumped to him happily, grabbed the reins and said: "Our sister dares to have clairvoyance?" I was guarding the stove in the house, so I hurriedly told me to open the door quickly, and I didn't know what to do, it turned out that the master was here. ”

Jing Shen smiled and said, "There is no one in your sister's house?" As he spoke, he turned over his horse.

The little girl also replied with a smile: "There is no one in my sister's house, and there is someone in my heart." ”

Jing Shen raised his eyebrows and said, "Good monkey cub, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Xiao Qi'er said: "My sister naturally has someone in her heart, and my lord also knows who it is." ”

Jing Shen smiled, and while he was talking, another maid came out of it, and he took Jing Shen with a smile on his face.

When Ling Jingshen arrived in the house, because of the stove, a warm feeling on his face dispelled the cold outside, and the little ones ran around, holding all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and brought wine to eat hotly, but they didn't see the rouge girl appear.

After waiting for another quarter of an hour, Depth of Field had already eaten two glasses of wine, only to see Rouge dressed in red, and slowly went upstairs to reads();. When the little girl who was waiting saw the maids, she quietly retreated with all her knowledge.

The red clothes are like fire, the beauty is like jade, the depth of field can't help but look up, and see the rouge eyebrows and eyes with spring and charm, walk to the front, sit with a smile, don't speak, first raise a glass and drink a cup.

Depth of Truth looked at her and said, "How did you know I was outside your door?" ”

Rouge said: "I look upstairs every day, and my eyelids jump early this morning, I thought you would come, and sure enough, I guessed it." ”

Jing Shen smiled and said, "Why don't you go to the stall for divination, you must make money every day." ”

Rouge's eyes were like silk, and he said: "I can't make money every day, I only need you as a guest, but you are so poor." ”

When the depth of the field heard this, he smiled and lowered his head to eat the vegetables, and Rouge personally picked up a few things he liked to eat and sandwiched them in front of him, and then said: "I thought you had a wife, so you left me behind, how did you come today?" Didn't you quarrel? ”

Ling Jingshen smiled and said, "It's inconvenient for me to meet with other people recently, so I want you to talk to the same hall." ”

Rouge listened to it and said with a smile: "So that's really the case...... Nothing to do is not to go to the Three Treasures Hall. The corners of his mouth were still smiling, but there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

Ling Jingshen glanced at her and said, "What did the prince say about that incident last time?" ”

Rouge lowered his eyelids, drank another glass of wine, and then said: "Originally, the prince and the prince participated in Yinglanfeng together, but you persuaded the prince to change the impeachment to sponsorship, and there are those records of the imperial history of the south...... On the contrary, he scolded the prince, and the prince thought that he had won a move against the prince, and he gave favor to Ying Lanfeng, so he naturally believed you...... Although the prince's people touched the dust in the court, in the long run, this deal that will be calculated is very cost-effective, so the prince is naturally very satisfied. ”

Ling Jingshen smiled, and when he saw that Rouge's wine glass was empty, he added a glass for her.

Seeing this, Rouge's eyes flickered, and after looking at the depth of field for a long time, he suddenly sighed: "You know it too...... I didn't want you to be like this, it was already very difficult in the prince's house, and now you have run to a prince who is even more difficult to get along with...... I'm just afraid ......"

Jing Shen said lightly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get the tiger?" ”

Rouge listened to his words, and stopped talking. finally said in a low voice: "That's what you said, it's just ...... I selfishly think you shouldn't be fighting like that. ”

The depth of field still said lightly: "To do things for the prince, naturally you have to do your best, why talk about anything else, now that I have won the trust of the prince, I will go to him step by step in the future, and I will naturally be able to do more for the prince, and in the future, the prince will have something to do, and you and I are all heroes." ”

Rouge frowned slightly when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more, only said, "I really ...... Can't guess you. Could it be that you married Miss Lin Yushi before, and you couldn't do anything for the prince? ”

Ling Jingshen was slightly stunned, the corners of his mouth moved twice, and then he smiled again and said, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”

Rouge looked at him and said, "Then Tang Sangongzi...... After all, he is the person you know best, and if you treat him like this, you don't feel the ...... in your heart at all."

Before he said a word, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he said coldly: "Shut up." ”

Rouge's words came to an abrupt halt, his eyes met, his throat moved a few times, and as soon as he reached out to hold Rouge's arm, he suddenly pulled her into his arms. This action was very rude, Rouge was caught off guard, and the sleeves of the red robe were gently raised, like a red cloud in the sky, but it slowly settled, and was pressed to a touch of ink like an abyss.
