Early in the morning, the sky was bright, and the maids who served and groomed in the Xifeng Garden were busy, and the lit four-corner glass lamps illuminated the entire blue yarn cabinet.

Yan got up half an hour earlier than usual, covered the corners of his mouth and yawned elegantly, his plain white sleeves slid under his wrist, revealing the jade bracelet with excellent water head on his wrist, and his eyes moved all the way along the self-striking bell on the Duobao Pavilion, the rosewood screen embroidered with the pictures of the twelve ladies, the narrow-mouthed bottle of entwined peony placed above the table, the two Erqiao peony flowers cut from the greenhouse inserted in the bottle, and the agarwood incense curling in the golden smoker......

A room full of wealth and glory shook her so much that she couldn't open her eyes, but her heart became more and more restless.

The little maid noticed that the master seemed to be in a bad mood, and she didn't dare to come out of the air and served a copper basin containing rose juice, Yan waved her hand, and the maid retreated.

Cleaned his face with rose juice water, sat in front of the dresser, took out the gold powder jade cream from the dresser, dug out a lump the size of a soybean, spread it evenly in the palm of his hand, gently patted it on his face, held a diamond mirror carved with roses, carefully traced his eyebrows, appliquéd, and sipped the red lipstick, and looked at the person in the mirror with two long eyebrows hanging on his face, and the peach blossom was pasted between the eyebrows。

After looking at the mirror for a long time, the smile gradually faded, and the mirror was buckled back on the table, and Yan asked the mother next to him, "Where did the master rest yesterday?"

Mama Chen lowered her head and replied: "When the old man came back, he rested in the Dongnuan Pavilion, and when the slave maid asked the little maid to go and get the goat milk custard, there was no movement over there. ”

"I get up earlier than the chickens every day, sleep later than the dogs, for this busy family, she is comfortable, only need to pretend to be sick to get pity, with all the good things she has. Yan snorted coldly as he patted the case.

"Ouch, my aunt's wife, don't you dare to say this, if it reaches the ears of the master, it will definitely be angry with you," Mama Chen hurriedly waved her hand and persuaded urgently, "Now in this family, except for the old lady, the lord is the most noble here, why do you bother with her so much." ”

"I don't care about it, I'm afraid that the housekeeping rights in my hands will also have to be taken away," Yan said with red circles in his eyes, "Seeing that Brother Yi is about to be recognized back, he will definitely reward the lord now, even if I am not as good as my sister to be able to enter the palace as a concubine, but the fate of Yipin should always have mine, I just hate that Xie's corpse is just a vegetarian meal, and I don't move my seat when I am so sick, the old man reads the support of her family back then, and refuses to agree to lift me to my wife, but he coaxes me again and again." ”

Yan Shi wiped the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief, and secretly wept, "Back then, I also blamed me for being soft-hearted, but poor brother Yi was displaced at a young age, so he agreed to be his outer room, who would have thought that the cats and dogs in this house could bully me." ”

"Auntie's wife!" Mama Chen tugged at her arm, and motioned for her to be quieter, "Didn't the master say that there will be big moves in the imperial city in a while, and our third master will definitely have a good future, you have survived so many years, and it will not be good to endure these few days, besides, at that time, it will not be a matter of whether she is willing or not, as long as the third master gives you a few words in front of the emperor, and asks the emperor to be the master of your wife, who will dare to say no at that time?"
