Xi Yao was very talkative, and she didn't set foot in Haoranju in the next few days, not only that, but she didn't even ask.

The awkward incident between the two brothers and sisters spread throughout the General's Mansion at once, and even the old lady asked about Xi Yao as if she were a homely person.

Naturally, she couldn't admit it, so she only said something on the side and diverted the topic.

Soon, it was autumn

On this day, Xi Yao returned to her Cuizhu Garden from the old lady's Fushou Garden as usual, stepping on the fallen leaves in the garden along the way, making a rustling sound.

When she was about to arrive at the gate of Cuizhu Garden, Hongxiang suddenly ran over, looking anxious, "Miss, just now the housekeeper sent a letter, saying that there is a girl who specially asked you to pass it on." As she spoke, Hongxiang took out an envelope from her cuff and respectfully presented it to Xi Yao.

"Oh? For me? "For the things sent by Hongxiang, Xi Yao is vigilant every time, but she doesn't show it on her face.

The red candle on the side naturally took the envelope from Hongxiang's hand and opened it by himself.

Hongxiang glanced at the red candle with great displeasure, in her opinion, she was originally the most favored by the young lady, but during this time, because the elm pimple of the red candle suddenly opened up, she knew how to make the young lady happy, so the young lady also favored her side.

In any case, do a good job of what the lady and the second lady instruct, and there will always be good results in the future, even if the eldest lady who can be tied by the red candle is happy? Aren't you going to follow her for the rest of your life? Maybe the eldest lady's life won't last a lifetime at all. For example, today's catastrophe, she may not have passed.

At that time, the eldest lady fell, and what good fruit could the girl who followed her.

Thinking about it like this, Hongxiang's heart is naturally much smoother.

opened the envelope, took out the letter paper inside, and the red candle was carefully unfolded, and then handed it to Xi Yao.

On the letter paper is Juanxiu's small print, and at a glance, you can see that it is from the woman's hand.

After reading the ten lines at a glance, Xi Yao smiled, "Red candles, red incense, it was Miss Ruyi who asked me to go out to play, I have been bored these days, and I really want to go out for a walk." ”

Hongxiang looked at Xi Yao carefully, the smile didn't look like she was pretending, so she was a little relieved, as long as the eldest lady didn't have any suspicions, it would be a matter of course, "Yes, eldest lady, the autumn is cool, the most suitable for going out for a walk, Miss Ruyi asked you to come along, obviously treating you as her best friend, the eldest lady has not had many friends since she was a child, so you feel like a friend, and the slaves and maids are happy for you." ”

looked at Hong Xiangle's appearance, but the red candle on the side bowed his head and was silent.

Miss has repeatedly given Hongxiang a chance, but she has repeatedly missed it, is glory and wealth really so important to her? More important than Miss's kindness?

"Yes, Hongxiang is right, in this case, Hongxiang and Hongzhu will go out with me today, you two have been in the house for a while, you should go out for a walk."

Of course Hongxiang was willing, and she was worried about how to persuade the eldest lady to take her out, but she didn't expect her to take the initiative to propose, "The slave should obey, so the young lady should change her clothes now, right?" ”

"Good...... Hongxiang, you go and prepare some things to bring with you, Red Candle, you go in with me to change clothes. ”

Seeing that Hongxiang was walking away, Hongzhu lowered her voice and said, "Miss, do you want to sue the eldest young master?" "Obviously, this letter was not written by Miss Ruyi, but from the trap of the second lady or the lady.

Of course, Xi Yao also understood in her heart that it was precisely because she knew that it was a trap that she had to step on it, and after thinking about it for a long time, Xi Yao said, "I wrote a letter, you ordered someone to secretly send it to Haoranju, remember, you have to be secret, don't be discovered." ”

"Yes......"

Until she left the house, Xi Yao was still looking back, but there was no shadow of Bai Moyang, sighing, Xi Yao had a cool feeling in her heart.

Although Xi Yao was just downplaying in the letter to Bai Moyang, with that guy's alertness, he could definitely judge the danger of this matter, even so, he didn't send anyone to follow, or do other perfect measures, which shows that he is determined to do his own thing with him, and the division of labor is clear.

On the carriage, Red Candle's hands were moving, and her palms were already full of sweat, but Hongxiang was very excited, and she lifted the curtain from time to time to look out.

The meeting place on the letter is the Baili Pavilion on the outskirts of the city, which is the entrance to the mountain to enjoy the scenery, and it is also a necessary place for pedestrians to pass by and rest. The letter said that from Baili Pavilion to the east side of the mountain, you can enjoy the maple leaves;

The red candle also reminded Xi Yao: Baili Pavilion is a transportation hub, from Baili Pavilion to the east is a pleasant mountain scenery, and to the west is the direction of the royal hunting ground. There should be many people who come and go every day, and it is estimated that Xi Yao will not be suspicious at such a place.

The carriage swayed and soon left the city, but Hongxiang's excitement still did not subside.

It wasn't until the sound of "hoo" that the carriage stopped suddenly, and the three people in the carriage were withdrawn from their respective hearts.

"Miss, Baili Pavilion has arrived......" The coachman tightened the reins of his horse and shouted into the car.

After bringing the white yarn, with the support of the red candle, Xi Yao slowly walked out of the carriage.

The carriage is parked on the side of the Baili Pavilion, the Baili Pavilion, as the name suggests, is a relatively spacious pavilion, there are three temporary teahouses around, all of which are hung with signboards with the word "tea", three or two small two with towels to and fro between the customers who drink tea, three teahouses, adding up to more than ten guests, can be regarded as warm.

Some of them were carrying burdens, some were holding swords, and at a glance they knew that they were people who came and went, but Xi Yao came in a carriage.

"Miss, look, if you go along this road, you will be able to reach the small house that you have agreed with Miss Ruyi in advance." Pointing to the fork in the east behind the Baili Pavilion, Hongxiang said excitedly.

Xi Yao chuckled, "Really? Hongxiang is very familiar with the road. ”

Hearing that there was something wrong with the young lady's tone, Hongxiang explained embarrassedly, "Slave, slave maid just thought that she was more happy to come out, so she asked more when she went to prepare things." ”

"Okay, then let's go in......"

At this moment, the red candle suddenly held her waist and said with a pout, "Miss, the slave maid is a little dizzy after sitting in the carriage for a long time, why don't we sit in the teahouse and drink some tea?" ”

"Red Candle! The time to meet Miss Ruyi is almost up, so you can't let people wait, right? Hongxiang was in a hurry and hurriedly urged.

Xi Yao had already walked towards the teahouse, "I'm going to climb the mountain later, what if I don't have the strength?" Come here, sit down for a while. ”

Hongxiang frowned, glanced at the red candle fiercely, saved a smile, and followed.

Red Candle looked worriedly at the fork in the road on the east side, her brow furrowing more and more.

Today, the young lady risked her life, and the eldest young master is not here, so I don't know what will happen later......
