However, he said that Ying Huaizhen returned to the mansion, first went to the old lady's room to ask for peace, and briefly explained today's situation before withdrawing and going back to the east courtyard.

Halfway through, because I heard the maid say that Ying Lanfeng was at home at the moment, I had a thought of admiration, so I took a detour and only went to Ying Lanfeng's study to visit.

Who knew that when he arrived at the door of the study, he heard someone talking inside, which sounded like a woman's voice, Huaizhen was surprised, and looked in slightly, and first saw a maid standing by the door, and when he saw her, he smiled and said, "The girl is back." ”

Ying Huaizhen stepped inside, turned inside, and sure enough, he saw someone sitting on the chair in front of him, and when he saw her come in, he also stood up and said with a smile: "Huaizhen is back." His attitude is friendly and his words are gentle, but he is Gu Yanke.

Ying Huaizhen said: "It turns out that the second aunt is here." He stepped forward and saluted, and when he looked at his eyes, he saw Ying Lanfeng sitting behind the desk, looking at her, with a slight smile on his face.

Gu Yanke hurriedly helped her up and said with a smile: "It's so well-behaved, why be so polite?"

Ying Huaizhen also got up, looked at her and said, "Second aunt, do you have something to tell your father? Otherwise, I'll come back later." ”

Gu Yanke said: "He Zeng has something, because I want to find a book, so I took the liberty to come and look for it with my cousin." ”

Ying Huaizhen looked at Ying Lanfeng and asked, "Since that's the case, can my father find it for the second aunt?"

Ying Lanfeng smiled and said: "I don't have it here, so I have to pay attention to it another day, and then find reads();." ”

Gu Yanke smiled and said: "You don't have to bother your cousin, if there is nature, you can borrow it from me, if you don't have it, it's not important, you don't need to look for it again." Because he saw that Huaizhen had returned, he took his leave again.

After Gu Yanke went with the maid, Ying Huaizhen looked at Ying Lanfeng and couldn't see anything unusual, so he asked, "Second aunt came to the study...... Really just looking for books?"

Ying Lanfeng smiled and said, "Otherwise, what?" As he spoke, he beckoned Huaizhen to come over.

Ying Huaizhen walked up to him and deliberately said: "Since the second aunt entered the house, how can I often hear people praise her for being generous and virtuous, better than everyone...... How's Daddy feeling?"

Ying Lanfeng saw her asking this again, so she squinted at her and said, "Why do you ask me?" Except that I accompanied her sister and brother back to Beijing, since I came back, I don't really look at her, and I don't know anything else. ”

Ying Huaizhen looked at it seriously for a while, and then said, "I know that Sister Rui'er told your father about Aunt Yang...... What's in Daddy's mind?"

When Ying Lanfeng heard this, he said, "Come here." Ying Huaizhen then bypassed the desk and walked to Ying Lanfeng.

Ying Lanfeng held her hand, carefully looked at her face, and said, "In the past few years that my father has not been at home, you and your mother have suffered. ”

Ying Huaizhen pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "What are you doing with these again, isn't it good to be dignified now?" And my father has come back well, so I don't ask for anything in my heart." ”

Ying Lanfeng nodded, stretched out her hand and brushed her Liuhai'er, and said: "Dad is back now, you don't have to think about all kinds of things in the future, the matter of the inner house, just tell your mother, your mother can't take care of it, so tell me again, just don't keep things in your heart anymore, you have been delicate since you were a child, if you are still tired, there is a case, but my father and mother don't know what to do." ”

Ying Huaizhen listened, his nose was slightly sour, and after thinking for a moment, he smiled and said, "I know." ”

Ying Lanfeng took her hand again and asked, "Is it okay to be outside today?

Ying Huaizhen shook his head and said: "No, the princess is very good to me, but I don't know when I will be able to see her again in the future." He sighed.

Ying Lanfeng nodded and said: "After all, I am married, it is not like I can go back and forth from time to time before, not to mention that it is the ...... of the palace" When he said this, he stopped, and only smiled and said: "If you feel bored at home, just say it, seeing that spring is about to begin, you can go out and walk around from time to time and relax...... In addition, I will tell Pei'er and Da Yuanbao again, so that they can come and talk to you from time to time. ”

It turned out that Ying Lanfeng missed the past few years when Huaizhen grew up, and when he came back, he saw that although Ying Huaizhen was out and about, but since he went to Beijing, he was always trapped in this mansion, even if he went out, it was just to visit relatives and friends, and finally got a confidant Tang Minli, but he married again, thinking that when he was a child, he didn't play any naughty things in Taizhou? Therefore, Ying Lanfeng was afraid that she would be bored, and he just wanted her to be happy, so he said so.

Ying Huaizhen couldn't help but be happy when he saw Ying Lanfeng thinking of this, and originally wanted to ask Gu Yanke about it again, but seeing that Ying Lanfeng didn't seem to take it to heart, and couldn't see anything, he didn't think about it.

Immediately, the maid entered the door and lit the candle, and the two father and daughter talked for a while, but saw Li Xianshu coming with a maid.

It turned out that Li Xianshu was in the East Courtyard, and she didn't see Huaizhen's house for a long time, so she asked someone to come out and ask, but she only said that it was in the master's study, so she came to find it in person.

Entering the door, Li Xianshu said: "Father and daughter, when can you finish talking, you don't even eat, you just talk about it?"

Unexpectedly, Huaizhen sat for half a day and walked a lot, and the originally injured ankle suddenly hurt again, and he almost screamed out, and he was afraid that his father and mother would know that he was worried, so he gritted his teeth and endured it, only did nothing, and returned to the East Courtyard with Li Xianshu.

After eating dinner like this, Li Xianshu went to the old lady's side to serve.

At this moment, the little girl who followed out today came forward and said to Huaizhen: "Girl, in the Suwang Mansion during the day, when we were leaving, the maid of the princess gave me this, saying what kind of balsam, and asked the girl to quietly give it to the girl, so that the girl remembers to apply it three times a day, which is very beneficial or something." As he spoke, he took out a green porcelain vase and offered it with both hands.

Ying Huaizhen looked at it, surprised and delighted, it turned out to be the bottle that Xiao Tang gave her medicine during the day, hurriedly took it, opened it and smelled it, it was the analgesic panacea ointment, and asked, "Is it given to you by the maid of the princess?"

The little girl smiled and said, "But isn't it?" girl, what kind of balsam must be the best? ”

Ying Huaizhen pursed his lips and smiled, and said: "You don't understand this reason, the princess is friendly with me, so she only gave it to me...... Have you remembered that you are not allowed to tell anyone about it?"

The little girl hurriedly agreed, and withdrew.

Ying Huaizhen was in the lamp, so he played with the porcelain vase, and already understood in his heart: Minli didn't know anything about her foot, otherwise she would never have asked a word, why did her maid know about it?

It must be that Xiao Tang was afraid that she would hurt again when she came back, so he didn't know what method he used, so he only asked the maid to give the medicine to his little girl in the name of Minli and let the girl hand it over.

That night, Ying Huaizhen sent everyone out, so he poured out some medicinal grease and applied it to his feet, but he didn't feel anything at first...... Suddenly thinking of Xiao Tang's behavior, he hurriedly put the bottle down, so he also rubbed his hands together and gently covered it.

It turns out that this medicine needs hot air to steam to be effective, so when I rub it, there is a spicy/spicy coolness, and suddenly the slightest dullness dissipates without a trace.

Ying Huaizhen was full of joy, so he still covered the bottle, carefully only put it next to his pillow, looked at it a few times before going to bed, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Tang's words and deeds during the day, thinking for a moment, laughing for a while, frowning for a while, thinking about it, sighing a few times, and falling asleep unconsciously.

Who knew that in one night I had many dreams in a chaotic manner, and although some were good, some were also very terrifying. One of them, but it seemed that Xiao Tang had discovered her secret, and suddenly disappeared from that gentle face, but looked at him with cold eyes, vaguely the indifferent and unfamiliar appearance in his previous life.

Ying Huaizhen didn't know what to do, he only felt extremely sad, and his heart ached dullly, but he couldn't stop crying, and wanted to explain to him, but he coldly flicked his sleeves and turned around.

Ying Huaizhen was reluctant, howling and crying, and wanted to chase it, but was stopped by the person in his hand, and suddenly he couldn't take a step forward, and for a while, tears flowed into a river.

was crying to death, suddenly heard someone urgently calling her name, Ying Huaizhen opened her eyes suddenly, but saw that it was Jixiang in front of her, looking at herself nervously, and said, "What's wrong with the girl?

Ying Huaizhen heard the word "dream", and immediately reacted that Fang was dreaming, and he was grateful for a while, as if he was saved by death, so he hugged Jixiang, and cried again, but this time it was a cry of joy, and he was so scared that Jixiang didn't know how.

Ying Huaizhen cried for a while before she stopped, and then comforted Jixiang, telling her not to tell Li Xianshu to reads();.

On that day, because Xiu'er's injury was almost healed, Li Xianshu thought to herself that she had already agreed to Huaizhen, and Ying Lanfeng also spoke, so she thought it was time to transfer her back, because she had long been worried that Mrs. Ying would not agree, so she went to talk to the old lady first.

Li Xianshu said, and asked the old lady: "But that night...... The girl who was injured by a thief?"

Li Xianshu said: "But it's not? It's a pitiful, in the past, he followed Huaizhen and served him very well, so Huaizhen just remembered it, this time I heard that she encountered this matter, and the more compassion she launched, she begged me several times to transfer her back, but I couldn't resist her, and the second master also agreed, so I came to the old lady." ”

When Mrs. Ying heard this, she said after a while: "Although I am sincere and kind, it's just ...... After all, this is a girl who has been married, and she can't stay with the girl anymore to serve, if Huaizhen feels that the people around her are not good, I will give her a few top uses, as for this girl...... Just give her some silver, or match her with another person, or put her wherever she wants. ”

Li Xianshu heard that the old lady refused to agree, and her heart was cold, so she still smiled and said: "I think the same way, but Huaizhen that child misses the old, I'm afraid that if Xiu'er is not transferred back, she will feel uncomfortable." ”

Old Taijun Ying nodded and said, "I know that you all love Huaizhen, don't I also love her very much in my heart?" Go back to the Tang Mansion, those old people are ...... And Mrs. Pingjing and others, who saw that they didn't love her, and got so many rewards, and no matter whose children they were, can they have this face?, so we all spoil her, and we should spoil her more, but ...... I want to spare my old man to say a few more words, although the child is painful, but you can't blindly get used to it, you can't let her temperament act, you should control some, and manage some, horizontal and vertical is for her good...... If outsiders know that we will transfer a married girl to her, people will not think that we are benevolent, but feel that there is no other person in the family to use, and think that we are mean again. ”

Li Xianshu smiled and said: "It can be seen that the old lady really cares for her, even the place where I didn't expect to be a mother, the old lady also thought about her thoughtfully, but the old lady said that don't spoil her, wouldn't she spoil her herself? So the old lady is really a good word, all for the sake of a really good meaning...... Just ......"

Old Taijun Ying nodded again and again, and when she heard this, she said, "Just what?"

Li Xianshu said: "It's just that I thought in my heart that Xiu'er had just suffered something, so I ignored it for a while or pushed it out, asking others to say that our family treats people poorly, and I don't know what to say...... Today, there are also Jing Zhaoyin's catchers coming to the door and asking Xiu'er questions......"

Mrs. Ying said: "I also know this, isn't it already fine?"

Li Xianshu sighed and said, "The old lady doesn't know, we don't dare to say it because we don't dare to alarm the old lady...... In fact, the dead Wei Wu's family, I don't know what crazy he was, insisted that it was not the thief who killed him, but the person who killed him in our house. ”

When Mrs. Ying heard this, she was really angry and asked, "Is this worth it?" Are these people rebellious?"

Li Xianshu frowned and said: "That's right, they bite like this, it's just that they want to splash dirty water, and they want to give more silver in our house...... It was the thief's hand that was moved, and those people had no words, and they sent those catchers away, otherwise where would it be so easy? It must be another turmoil...... Therefore, this matter is also thanks to Xiu'er's loyalty, and even the third master feels that Xiu'er is a girl who is useful, and is amazed. ”

When Mrs. Ying heard this, she was stunned for a long time, and said, "It turns out that this girl is also knowledgeable, and she is really loyal." ”

Li Xianshu took the opportunity to smile and said: "That's exactly what it means, the old lady also knows that these slaves at the bottom, although there are many people, but they are really loyal to the house, but there are really very few, finally there is such a good girl, what did you do to send her away in vain? It just so happens that Huaizhen also thinks about her, so I am bold and ask the old lady to be gracious, and for the sake of her loyalty, I simply transferred her back?"

Mrs. Ying pondered for a while, and then asked An Pin, "Do you know about this matter?"

An Pin smiled and bowed his head and said, "I've also seen that Xiu'er, it's a good ...... Suffered another life hanging by a thread.,It's really pitiful.,It's very reads();。 If the old lady is willing to be merciful and transfer her back, but her great creation, it can be regarded as the merit of the old lady's compassion. ”

When Mrs. Ying heard this, she sighed and said, "Since this is the case, then it's okay, you just look at it." ”

Li Xianshu started to enter the door, with a handful of sweat in her palms, and only at this moment did she breathe a sigh of relief, so she spoke for a while before retreating. Even so, I still can't be completely relieved, so I can't help but go and talk to Mrs. Ying again.

When Mrs. Ying heard that the old lady agreed, she sneered at Li Xianshu twice and said, "You are becoming more and more capable now, but I am afraid that even the third grandmother in this family will not be able to intervene in the future." ”

Li Xianshu hurriedly smiled and bowed her head and said: "My wife knows it, she is born uninformed and stupid, thanks to the old lady and his wife in the past few years, they don't dislike it, and they allow me to help the third grandmother take care of a few things, and I don't care if I don't do well...... Naturally, I had to do my best, and I didn't dare to slack off. If there is some negligence, my wife can just scold me when she sees it, and it can be regarded as my wife's heart thinking about me, and I am grateful to understand. ”

Mrs. Ying saw what she said, and said after a while: "It's okay, Ming'er still has something to do, you can go and prepare." ”

Li Xianshu retreated again, and at this moment she was relieved, and hurriedly ordered Jixiang to call Xiu'er back to the East Courtyard as soon as possible, and she would return home first.

Before entering the door, he heard the sound of a murmuring knock, knowing that Ying Huai was really practicing, Li Xianshu entered lightly, looked at it for a while, and liked it in her heart, she wanted to tell Huai Zhen about it immediately, which also made her happy and happy, and when the words came to her mouth, she stopped again, and only said: "Ah Zhen, there is a big banquet in Ming'er's house, and there are many people...... Seeing that this New Year's month is about to pass, after tomorrow, there should be nothing else to do at home, and there is no need to just run outside to socialize, I thought to myself, let's go back to your grandmother's house to see how about it?"

Ying Huaizhen listened to it and said happily: "Of course this is good, I am also thinking about grandma, finally my father is back, okay together?"

Li Xianshu said: "It's just that your father is not idle, just wait for me to discuss it with him." ”

As he was talking, he said, "Grandma, Xiu'er is here." ”

Li Xianshu smiled when she heard this, and asked to bring it in, Ying Huaizhen was pleasantly surprised, so she stood up, and sure enough, when she saw Xiu'er walking in from outside with her head down, Ying Huaizhen took two steps forward, held Xiu'er's hand, and hurriedly asked, "It's all right?"

Xiu'er looked up at her with red circles: It turned out that although Ying Huaizhen had visited her that time and said that she wanted her to come back, Xiu'er thought to herself that she was already like this, where was she still worthy of serving in the girl's room? How many innocent and capable girls in the mansion were staring, so naturally it was not her turn.

But I didn't expect that Huaizhen did what he said, Xiu'er looked at Huaizhen, and was about to kneel, Ying Huaizhen was busy holding her and not allowing her, looking at each other, in front of Li Xianshu, Huaizhen only said: "Follow me with peace of mind in the future...... If there is food and clothing for me, there is food and clothing for you, and you don't have to worry about anything else. ”

When Xiu'er heard this, tears rolled in her eyes, and she nodded and agreed: "I only wish I had this blessing and could serve the girl for a long time." ”

Li Xianshu smiled when she heard this: "Don't say these nonsense, if you meet a good one in the future, you will naturally have to marry, but this time I have to stare at it myself, I look at it and am happy to say reads();." ”

Xiu'er heard the word "marry", and her face turned pale: it turned out that her heart had already died after Wei Wu's affairs, and when she mentioned the matter of marrying, she only felt as if ten thousand arrows pierced her heart. Unexpectedly, Ying Huaizhen felt the same in his heart, just didn't say it.

Early the next morning, Li Xianshu got up again for the third watch, because there was a big feast in the house today, and the old ladies and young masters of all the houses in Beijing were invited to come, so it was naturally a busy time, but Xu Yuan was not very good recently, and he was negligent about the directors, so almost everything in the family fell on the shoulders of Li Xianshu alone, commanding hundreds of people, running around the house, dealing with all kinds of things, almost too busy.

By noon, the guests had gradually arrived, and the banquet had been lined up outside, and there were also ladies and grandmothers of various families, eating and talking with the old lady and the grandmothers and ladies in the house.

Ying Huaizhen gathered on the table for a while, and when he saw that no one was paying attention, he quietly retreated, just wanted to go back to the house to be quiet, who knew that he went out, and saw Chunhui and Ying Pei accompanying a person over, although it was a year, but he was still dressed in white, but he used brocade materials.

Ying Huaizhen stopped, then saluted Chunhui, and replied with Ying Pei, and finally saluted Ling Jue: "Ling Gongzi is polite." ”

Ling Jue bowed his hand and said, "Sister Huaizhen is good, is the year safe?"

Ying Huaizhen had no choice but to nod, not wanting to linger longer, before he was about to leave, Chunhui asked, "Aren't they all eating and drinking inside?"

Ying Huaizhen smiled and said, "I'm bored, come out for a walk." What is my brother going to do?"

Ying Pei said: "Because the old lady has been thinking about Xiao Jue, so we brought him to say goodbye to the old lady." ”

Ying Huaizhen said: "Then don't bother, please go quickly." ”

Chunhui was about to agree, but Ling Jue suddenly said to Huaizhen: "I heard from Da Yuanbao that Sister Huaizhen has been concentrating on stroking the piano recently, and her piano skills are excellent?"

Ying Huaizhen listened to the words "excellent piano skills", couldn't cry or laugh, still drooped his eyelids, and said quietly: "It's all said by Da Yuan Baohun, I'm just playing at random, unbearable, I'm afraid that listening to it will disturb people's mood, and I won't be at peace." ”

Before Ling Jue could speak, Chunhui had already smiled and said: "What are you talking about, I forgot to say that I didn't say it, why don't you go to your house when you go back, why don't you let us listen to the long insight?"

Ying Huaizhen thought of his crude piano skills, and suddenly blushed, stomped his feet and said, "Brother Chunhui!"

Ying Pei saw that she was annoyed, and hurriedly relieved her, so she said, "Let's go and see the old lady first." ”

Chunhui nodded, but Ling Jue said to Huai Zhen again: "Sister Huai Zhen, go back and visit." ”

Ying Huaizhen listened, and then looked up at him, but Ling Jue nodded to her, and went with Chunhui and Ying Pei.

Ying Huaizhen's face was full of incredulity, and he watched the three people enter the house, and then shook his head and thought: "What's the matter, who did you say that it disturbed people's mood in the first place?" Hmph...... flicked his sleeves and left.

Because of the fact that there were many people today, Ying Huaizhen didn't dare to stay in the garden at will, so as not to meet anyone again, so he only went back to the house, thinking of what happened to Ling Jue just now, so he sat behind the piano table, raised his hand and tried to stroke two notes, and suddenly remembered that Ling Jue said "go back and visit", and couldn't help but be a little worried that he would really come over.

At this moment, I heard the maid say, "Uncle cousin is here." Ying Huaizhen was stunned, and before he could get up, he saw Guo Jianyi walking in.
