Cai Wei was startled, took a step back, and when she looked at it, she saw a young student with oily hair and a pink face, looking at her with a smile on his face.

Cai Wei whispered, "Who are you?" Why are you holding me back? ”

Liuzhu whispered: "Miss Biao, this is the eldest son in the big house." ”

Du Yulang said with a smile: "My cousin is so busy that I forgot about my cousin, but my cousin always remembers my sister!" ”

In the weather of April, it was still a little cold at night, Du Yulang actually wore a thin silk gown, shook a folding fan of Xiangfei bamboo, and spared no effort to sell in front of Cai Wei.

The few explicit lines he said, even if he was a fool, he could hear what he wanted to do, let alone a smart person like Cai Wei.

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

She asked the man lightly, as if she didn't see his 'graceful and handsome', her eyes just stared ahead, looking like she was in a hurry to leave.

If you are a man with vision, seeing her so anxious to leave, ten of you will let her take the first step. Du Yulang refused to let him go, and stood in front of Cai Wei, salivating and smiling: "If there is nothing to do, can't you talk and chat with your sister?"

Cai Wei said coldly: "I'm very busy, I don't have time to chat." “

Du Yulang laughed in a low voice: "What a ruthless sister, since our brother and sister are destined, we can meet in one place under the moon before this flower, why don't my sister accompany my brother to talk for a while?" “

Seeing his stubborn and unstoppable virtue, Cai Wei laughed weirdly and said, "It's okay, cousin will accompany me for a walk, let's talk while walking!" “

Du Yulang was overjoyed when he heard this, as if he heard the sound of the Buddha's words, he was so happy that he was itching all over, and ordered Liuzhu to wait here, and he led Cai Wei to the rockery in the depths of the garden.

There is a cave in the rockery, he once got a cook's daughter-in-law in it, and he felt very excited, if he could get it there with this little beauty, even if it was known by Huo Yuan in the future, it would be worth killing him!

Cai Wei walked a few steps unhurriedly, deliberately threw the handkerchief on the ground, and shouted, "Oh, my handkerchief!" “

When Du Yulang saw it, he immediately stepped forward attentively, and said, "Okay, my brother will help you pick it up." “

After that, he bent down and picked up the handkerchief, and the moment he bent over, Cai Wei quickly took out a handful of itch powder from the space and sprinkled it on him.

At this time, it was dark, and the powder was as light as nothing, and it was impossible to see or feel at all, so after Du Yulang was hit by the medicinal powder, he didn't realize it, and still picked up Caiwei's handkerchief, put it lightly under his nose and sniffed it, and said with a smile: "My sister's handkerchief is so fragrant, why don't my sister reward me with this handkerchief, tomorrow I will choose a few good internal handkerchiefs to give to my sister."

Before he finished speaking, his body suddenly itched, as if there were hundreds of ants crawling on his body, Du Yulang froze and was embarrassed, at this time, he really wanted to take off his clothes and scratch it well, but if he scratched the itch in front of the beauty, it would be too blasphemous to the beauty, and this beauty was what he had been thinking about for a long time.

So, he dispelled the idea of tickling and gritted his teeth strongly.

However, the itchy feeling did not retreat because of his patience, but became worse and worse, as if the hundreds of ants had penetrated into the bones, and the itch was so itchy that he couldn't bear it anymore......

Cai Wei also deliberately called him: "Hey, cousin, why did you run away?" Didn't you say you wanted to spend the first month and the next month with me? “

Du Yulang didn't wait to scratch off the skin at this time, and he still took care of the beauty's invitation, he scratched his body unbearably, and staggered to his yard. "Idiot!"

Cai Wei laughed happily a few times and went back to find Liuzhu.

At this moment, Liuzhu was wandering anxiously with a lantern, considering whether to report to the fourth aunt's grandmother's house, and suddenly saw Cai Wei coming back safely, so she hurriedly stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Miss Biao, are you okay?" “

As he spoke, his eyes drifted in the direction behind Caiwei.

Cai Wei smiled and said, "I'm fine, let's go quickly!" “

Liuzhu nodded, said softly, and whispered: "Miss Biao, you should remember to stay away from the eldest prince in the future." “

After saying that, he shut up and led Cai Wei straight to Yilan Garden.

Yilan Garden is a courtyard three or four times larger than Changchun Garden, which is full of all kinds of rare orchids, hence the name Yilan Garden.

The boudoir in Yilan Garden is different from the boudoir of other girls in the house, it is an independent two-story embroidery building, standing upstairs, you can overlook the garden and apricot forest in the distance, it is very elegant.

This courtyard was originally lived by the aunt and grandmother who entered the palace of the Du family, and then the aunt and grandmother were not favored after entering the palace, and only got the position of a beauty, and even an heir was not born.

Du Wanqiu is the eldest lady in the mansion of Anguo, although she is not the most favored, but the rules in the mansion are strict, and the Duchess of Anguo Wang is a rule-oriented one, so the food and clothing of the girls in the mansion must be in accordance with the rules, and no one can override the eldest lady of the long house.

Cai Wei entered the Yilan Garden, under the leadership of Liuzhu, and entered Du Wanqiu's embroidery building, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Du Wanqiu wearing homely clothes, leaning on the beauty couch and reading quietly.

Hearing that Cai Wei came in, Du Wanqiu put down the book, hurriedly got off the couch, pulled on her embroidered shoes, and came over to greet Cai Wei affectionately. "Sister, I can be regarded as inviting you, look at you, it's been so long since I went home, and I didn't say that I came to talk to my sister, my sister sent people to invite you several times, and my aunt said that you were busy and not at home, which made my sister sigh every day, and your neck was sore when you waited, so pitiful!"

Such a kind attitude,

Du Wanqiu took Cai Wei's hand, led her to the beauty couch to sit down, and handed over the tea bowl herself. "My sister is thirsty all the way, drink some tea to moisten your throat, this is the tea that the queen in the palace drinks, sister try it."

At the mention of the queen, Cai Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but think of that person......

At this time, he must have returned to the queen's side and assumed his responsibilities again! I just don't know if he's doing well now...... "Sister, what do you want?" Drink it, this tea is different from what we used to drink, it's flower tea! “

Du Wanqiu urged, lifted the lid of her cup and sniffed, her face intoxicated.

Cai Wei came back to her senses, and she gently opened the lid of the teacup, but suddenly saw the familiar flower tea in the cup!

The flower tea is elegant and fragrant, and each flower is a rare and strange flower in the world, which is exactly the tea that she picked a few months ago for her mother and Fei'er to beautify, and was later sold to him by her mother for a hundred taels of silver.

It's just that how could it fall into Du Wanqiu's hands?

Cai Wei was puzzled and asked, "Sister, where did you get this tea?" Why is it so delicious? “

Hearing Cai Wei's inquiry, Du Wanqiu said with a little smugness that was difficult to hide: "It was the queen mother who rewarded Ruizhu's cousin, Ruizhu's cousin is the daughter of the eldest aunt and the general who protects the country, and the emperor and the queen's mother intend to point Ruizhu's cousin to His Royal Highness the King of Qin as a concubine, so they are particularly partial to her and reward her with such a good flower tea." “

Cai Wei's heart sank, it turned out that his concubine had already been chosen, she was the daughter of the general who protected the country, hehe, the general who protected the country, it sounds really majestic, and the daughter of the general who protects the country must be able to help him ascend to the throne a lot!

Cai Wei drank tea absentmindedly, her mind was full of his shadow, and the scenes with him flashed in her mind one by one like a rewind.

The first time they met, they echoed the poem in Qingyun Town, she risked to save him and hid him in his boudoir, and later he gradually developed a love for her, and did not hesitate to fight for her and Tianjizi, and made a feud for her and Saknu......

For her, he could not even want his life, but he could not give her the marriage she wanted......

Cai Wei smiled bitterly and retracted her thoughts, since there was no possibility between them, it was useless to think about it, it was better to return to reality and finish the tea.

She's been initialized, all those exotic flowers and plants are gone, and it's rare for her to drink such good tea again, she can't miss the opportunity and never come again, she has to take the opportunity to drink more!

After drinking a cup of tea, Cai Wei put down the cup and said, "Sure enough, it is a good tea from the queen's mother, it is really delicious." “

Seeing this, Du Wanqiu hurriedly refilled the teapot with water, and then gave another one to Caiwei, and said a little apologetically: "My sister loves to drink this tea, and my sister should have brought some back to my sister, but Cousin Ruizhu gave me very little portion, counting this time, I drank it twice, and there was no more." “

Speaking of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed on Du Wanqiu's face.

The reason why Li Ruizhu gave her that idea of tea was not because of her deep sisterhood, but because she was showing off to her, showing off her status in the queen's heart and showing off her decency......

When they were all very young, when the sisters were talking about themselves in one place, she once revealed that the man she wanted to marry was King Qin. At that time, Ruizhu's father was still a mighty general, and the Li family was not much stronger than her Anguo Mansion, so the two young ladies often got together and said something about themselves behind people's backs.

That night, Ruizhu also revealed his heart to her, but he didn't expect that the man Ruizhu liked was also the King of Qin, at that time they also secretly agreed to follow the example of the ancient Empress Nuying, and the two sisters served a husband, no matter who married the King of Qin first, the other had to be the master and let the other party enter the palace of the King of Qin......

However, with the continuous promotion of General Li Kaifeng, the general's mansion has also risen, Ruizhu's temperament has gradually become more and more arrogant, and she always looks commanding and arrogant in front of her, and she refuses to mention the agreement when she was a child, which makes her angry, hateful and helpless, and she only secretly resolves that she must marry a man better than King Qin in the future, and give her a good look!

It's just that looking at the Great Jin Kingdom, the only ones who can compete with King Qin are the prince and Huo Gongzi, the prince has already married the princess, she doesn't want to come over to make someone small, so she has to focus on Huo Yuan, who is not yet married.

It's a pity that Huo Yuan already has this wild girl in her heart, but fortunately, they haven't decided to marry or marry yet, so she has to plan well before she can squeeze this wild girl out of the place, replace her, and marry into the Huo family!

Cai Wei smiled: "It's just a little tea, my sister doesn't have to blame herself, but I don't know why my sister called me tonight?" “

Du Wanqiu smiled and said, "My sister called you, which is naturally a great good thing. There are five more days, it is the annual Shangsi Festival, every year on this day, the queen mother will feast in the imperial garden to the unmarried children and daughters of the important ministers of the court, everyone gathers together, or show talents, or drink and talk and laugh, the scene is spectacular, it is happy, it is a party that many young ladies dream of. Our Anguo Mansion is also fortunate to get a place, my sister wants to take you to the palace to see and see because she thinks that you grew up in the countryside, and she wants to take you to the palace to see and understand, are you willing? “

Rely on it!

Cai Wei rolled her eyes, of course she didn't

Du Wanqiu said that there is only one place in the Anguo Mansion, so she followed Du Wanqiu, wouldn't she have to go as a maid, she was not interested in the palace, even if she gave her an invitation and let her go in in a grand manner, she didn't want to, not to mention that she still had to pretend to be Du Wanqiu's girl, and use such a contemptuous means to enter, of course she would not agree.

Besides, the annual Shangsi Festival, that person will definitely go, she easily broke his mind, if she takes the initiative to get up again, in case she meets him, maybe it will cause some trouble.

Thinking of this, she said lightly: "Thank you sister for your kindness, but my sister is really not good at playing a girl, and the restaurant at home has just been on the right track, and it is impossible to leave anyone at any time, I am afraid that I will live up to my sister's good intentions, and I can't go!" “

Du Wanqiu didn't expect her to express her dissatisfaction bluntly, she was embarrassed for a moment, and said softly: "Sister, don't be careful, my sister doesn't mean to despise my sister, I just think that there are not many opportunities to enter the palace to see it, if you miss this time, you may have to wait until next time, maybe you won't have a chance in this life, so you make this decision." “

Cai Wei said in a cool voice: "Entering the palace is a rare opportunity for some people, and it is a kind of torture for me, I was annoyed by such a scene, not to mention that there are still a lot of things waiting for me at home, how can I have the leisure to watch those noble brothers and sisters chant poems?" So it's too short to go. “

She refused neatly, there was no room for turnaround, Du Wanqiu was helpless, so it seemed that Ruizhu's wishful thinking was about to fail.

Two days ago, when Ruizhu's cousin sent someone to the house to deliver tea, she specially instructed her to bring her country cousin Mu Caiwei when she entered the palace.

Although she didn't know where Ruizhu knew about Mu Caiwei, and she didn't know why Ruizhu was interested in Mu Caiwei, Ruizhu had always said everything, and she only had to obey her orders, and she didn't dare to ask too much.

Sending Cai Wei away, Du Wanqiu immediately sent her grandmother to the General's Mansion and conveyed Cai Wei's refusal to accept the appointment to Li Ruizhu.

Li Ruizhu heard that Cai Wei refused to enter the palace, and her expression cracked instantly.

The queen said that the little slut named Mu Caiwei did not know how to use the fox tricks to seduce His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and the queen knew that she was related to the little slut, so she asked her to try to bring the little slut into the palace, so that she made a fool of herself in public, so that His Royal Highness the King of Qin could see her face clearly, and then no longer loved her.

However, she refused to follow Du Wanqiu into the palace, how could this be good?

After Cai Wei came out of Yilan Garden, she went directly back to the Changchun Garden where her family lived, it was still early, after Cai Wei entered the door, she saw Du Shi and Cai Fei with Xiaoqing Xiaohong and two girls making sandwich biscuits on the kang table, Mei Shi leaned on the pillow of a big red money python, gossiping with everyone.

After Cai Wei entered the house, she went to the stove to wash her hands, and also returned to sit down at the kang table, picked up the mold, and made biscuits with them.

Du Shi said: "You've been busy all day, let's rest, these don't need you, the four of us can do it." “

Cai Wei smiled and said, "My daughter is not tired, but in the past two days, I must have been tired when I asked my mother and sister to help make snacks in the store." “

Cai Fei smiled: "Look at what my sister said, it's just to make dim sum for two days, where will people be tired, my sister can pass on the craft of making dim sum to me, I'm too late to be happy!" “

Du Shi also echoed and said: "Yes, when you leave the pavilion in the future and arrive at your mother-in-law's house, if you have such a good ability to make dim sum, your mother-in-law's family will definitely be able to take a look at it." “

Cai Fei heard her mother's joke, and gradually lowered her head and stopped talking, but continued to be busy silently, her delicate little face was red in the candlelight, as if she was shy, and she was so good-looking!

Cai Wei looked at her shy sister and couldn't help but smile: "Mother, our Fei'er is really a beautiful embryo, and now she is getting better and better." “

Du Shi looked at Cai Fei lovingly, and sighed: "It is said that the eighteenth year of the female college has changed, according to me, our Fei'er has changed since she was eleven years old, and she has become like a different person, I can't even recognize it......

Cai Fei's appearance has indeed changed, becoming red lips and white teeth, fine skin and white flesh, tender and moving, although she is only eleven years old now, but it is not difficult to see that when she grows up in the future, she will definitely become a great beauty who will captivate the country and the city!

In the past few months, the family has eaten well and lived well, not only Fei'er's appearance has become beautiful, but Du's is gradually recovering her former beauty, Wen'er and Wu'er are also white and tender, and their burnt yellow hair is also black and shiny, as if they have become a pair of little Zhengtai with a very high appearance! Even Mu Zhongqing has become much more confident and calm than before.

Cai Wei lamented the changes in her family while placing the finished biscuits on the curtain and bringing them into the kitchen to bake.

The large oven for baking biscuits in the kitchen was customized for her by Cao Jin, and there were two ovens customized, one placed in the restaurant and one left at home.

Because the restaurant was too busy, there was no time to bake dim sum, so Cai Wei taught her mother and Fei'er the skills of making egg tarts, sandwiches and sandwich biscuits, so that they could make them at home on weekdays, and then sell them at the restaurant.

It's just that their own dim sum is too sought-after, and the dim sum they baked yesterday was sold out before noon, Cai Wei felt that in a few days, she would develop a few more dim sum practices, and she could open another dim sum shop separately and find some workers, so as not to oversupply her own goods!

After baking the biscuits, Cai Wei ate a little and felt that it tasted very good, because it was night, she was afraid of accumulating food, so she didn't dare to eat more, and after eating a few pieces, she helped her mother make egg tarts......

At the end of the day, Mu Zhongqing came back, his face was red and refreshed, and as soon as he entered the door, he untied the heavy bag on his waist and handed it to Du Shi.

"Meiniang, the business of our restaurant today is better than yesterday, and we have earned more than sixty taels, you count and put it away!"

Du Shi took the heavy bag, and when he opened it to see, he saw the large and small scattered silver inside, white and dazzling!

She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, stroked the zipper, and sighed: "I really didn't expect that our family could earn so much silver in one day, if it was left in the past, but I couldn't dream of it!" ”

Mu Zhongqing also said with emotion: "Yes, it was a great fortune to be able to save one or two hundred yuan a month in the past, where would you dare to expect so much." These, thanks to our Wei'er, let our family be well fed and warm, have a big house to live in, and have silver flowers, and live this kind of life that we couldn't dream of before......"

The husband and wife sighed, Cai Wei interrupted them, and said with a smile: "Dad, don't just sigh, how did you arrange Uncle Zhang's accommodation tonight." ”

Mu Zhongqing said: "Tonight temporarily arranged for them to live in an inn near the restaurant, and when they are free tomorrow, my father plans to go out and rent a few houses for him to live in temporarily, and when our family moves out, we will buy a house by ourselves, and then move them back." ”

Cai Wei said: "That's exactly what I thought, I didn't expect our father and daughter to think of going together." ”

At night, Cai Wei rested in Mei's house as usual, and after waiting for Mei and Cai Fei'er to fall asleep, she sprinkled some coma powder, invited the old turtle out of the space, and gave Mei's acupuncture.

Taking advantage of the opportunity given by the old turtle to Mei's acupuncture, Cai Wei ran into the space to practice internal strength. These days, although the aura in the space is thin, Cai Wei has been insisting on cultivating, practicing every day until she has no strength at all, and then she refuses to give up.

With the gradual deepening of her cultivation, she felt that her body was also constantly improving, her body was much lighter than before, and her physical strength was greatly enhanced, which made her feel encouraged and practiced more attentively.

It's a pity that the hot springs in the space are muddy now, otherwise, after practicing, lie down in the hot springs and soak for a while, and eat a freshly picked fresh fruit, that feeling is really refreshing......

Early the next morning

An Guogong's mansion was in chaos, I heard that it was the eldest son in the big room in the East Courtyard, last night somehow, suddenly got a strange disease, the whole body was extremely itchy, how to scratch it didn't work, the eldest prince scratched the skin on his body, or itchy, itchy he cried wolf, wanted to use a knife to scrape his own skin, was taken away by his mother Guo Shi risked death, and then sent someone to take An Guogong's post to the Tai Hospital, who is the best at looking at dermatology, invited Taiyi Zhang, after coming to Taiyi Zhang, he prescribed two ointments to wipe it down, and it was slightly better.

It's just that the itchy and scrapie is good, and the places that were scratched by him hurt again, because the itching last night was too uncomfortable, Du Yulang unknowingly, scratched himself all over the body, and there were bloody scratches all over his body, and those scratches were stained with Imperial Doctor Zhang's ointment, and suddenly his heart hurt again, and he hummed and cried for his father and mother, so miserable!

And at this time

In the queen's Yukun Palace, Li Ruizhu was meeting the queen's mother and told her about Mu Caiwei's refusal to go to the appointment.

When Queen Mo heard this, she sneered: "Even if she knows each other, she knows that she is not worthy of coming to the palace, so she doesn't dare to come." However, if the palace wants her to come, she can't help but not come! ”

Princess Chaoyang said: "Mother, I heard a report from the guards yesterday that the woman opened a restaurant and specializes in a kind of barbecue, why don't we take this opportunity to announce her into the palace and give everyone barbecue to eat, so as to humiliate her fiercely and give Ruizhu a bad breath." ”

Empress Mo glanced at Rui Zhu and asked lightly, "Do you mean the same thing?" ”

Li Ruizhu hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang's words, the courtiers have no such intentions, the courtiers feel that if we deliberately humiliate her in public, it will make His Royal Highness King Qin pity her more and love her, it is better to invite her as a guest and let her make a fool of herself in the crowd, so as to achieve the goal of making King Qin disgusted with her." ”

Queen Mo glanced at her daughter and said: "Ruizhu is still generous and calm, how can you be like you, you are impulsive at every turn, and you do things recklessly, like you, how can the queen mother rest assured that she will marry you?" ”

Chaoyang pursed his lips and snorted unconvinced.

"What's the big deal, it's a big deal that I'm not married!"

Queen Mo said helplessly: "You are here again, your daughter's family is big, how can there be anyone who doesn't marry, even if you don't want to marry, you can't stand people wanting to marry, don't say anything else, let's just say that the eldest prince of Liaodan, Saknu, has been in our capital for more than a month, and your father has clearly rejected his proposal, but he just won't leave, and he is still here, and he doesn't know what he wants to do?" ”

Hearing the queen mother mention Saknu, Chaoyang's mind immediately appeared with that unruly figure.

He is different from the gentle and elegant men of the Great Jin Dynasty, he is strong, strong, handsome, mighty, and can give women the greatest sense of security.

It's a pity that my brother didn't like him, so he didn't ask her opinion, so he directly reported to his father and excluded Saknu from the scope of her choice of son-in-law!
