After two consecutive autumn rains, the weather gradually cooled down. Especially in the morning and evening, you have to wear a jacket.

Looking at the rain outside the window, Ouyang Kang turned around and asked, "Sister, do you think we can leave here?" ”

Dou Rongruo was also thinking about this, originally, they planned to rush to Yangjiaqiao today, but they didn't expect that a sudden heavy rain would trap them in this town.

Find a restaurant to rest temporarily, but I didn't expect that the wait would be half a day. Now if you go again, you should be able to catch up with Yangjiaqiao before dark, even if you can't catch it, there is a market all the way, but you don't have to worry about having no place to stay.

"Let's go, then." Ouyang Kang knew that she was in a hurry, and he didn't ask for reasons, but he cooperated very well.

Dou Rongruo was originally a cheerful woman, and after weighing it, seeing that the sky was already cloudy and raining, he still decided to go on the road.

Quickly packed up her things and drove out of the carriage, Ouyang Kang rode a horse, she got into the car, and a few people continued on the road.

I didn't expect that the place I had walked through had stopped raining, but there were clouds and clouds ahead. Now I can't go back, I can only brave the rain to move forward.

Seeing that Ouyang Kang's body was quickly wet, but the only two clothes were worn on Lao Yang, who was driving the car, and Shui Sheng, who was sitting outside the car, Dou Rongruo said, "You can also get in the car, be careful if it gets wet, it will delay the matter." ”

Ouyang Kang saw that the rain was getting heavier, so he asked Shui Sheng to give him the cloth, he got into the car, tied the horse to the back of the car, and sat in front with Lao Yang to catch up with the car.

That's fine, Dou Rongruo didn't say much.

In the evening, when the rain finally stopped, they arrived at a market. Listening to Ouyang Kang snorting in front of him, thinking that he still suffered some rain, Dou Rongruo didn't let him go.

"Find a shop to rest for the night, and make some ginger soup for everyone to drink."

Ouyang Kangben said no, but Dou Rongruo said, "Even if people can hold it, the horses can't hold it, and they have been walking in the rain for so long, let them rest." ”

Ouyang Kang just gave up, got out of the car, and wanted to go to the inn to inquire about accommodation, but suddenly a woman called out his name in a store.

"Ouyang Kang?"

Ouyang Kang was quite familiar with the voice, and instinctively wanted to turn back, but when he saw Dou Rongruo coming out behind him, he pretended to be affectionate and took his arm, and said in a low voice, "Don't look back." ”

He took a handkerchief and pretended to wipe the rain on his face, and quickly said, "That woman looks not young, and she is still dressed as unmarried, and the few people next to her look like a practitioner." Oh no, it's supposed to alarm someone. ”

Ouyang Kang whispered, "If you get in the car now, it will make people suspicious, why don't you go to the silk village in front of you and buy some random things to see if you can slip out of the back door." ”

Dou Rongruo answered, turned around and instructed Ah Zhi, "Let's walk around here for a while, you go home first, so that your father doesn't have to worry about it." ”

These Cao Gang children are all accustomed to their families, and they will know what they mean when they hear it.

Driving the carriage away casually, Ouyang Kang took Dou Rongruo into the small shop, and wanted to pretend to buy something, but a three or four-year-old boy suddenly came out of the store, pointed at him and asked, "Are you surnamed Ouyang?" Is it to hide from the people behind? ”

Ouyang Kangqi was surprised, Dou Rongruo also wondered from himself, and before he could think about whether to tell the truth, Ouyang Kang nodded first.

The little boy was not very suspicious, "Then you come with me." ”

Ouyang Kang didn't know what he meant, but he could see that the little boy had clean eyebrows and good clothes, and he didn't look like a treacherous person, so he came out with him. The little boy led them around the back hall, but instead of going through the back door, he followed the door on the wall and led them around the corner to another store.

"If you go from here, they won't be able to catch you."

This perspective is just enough to take a look over there. Ouyang Kang turned his head and asked, "Why are you helping me?" ”

The little boy scratched his head, "My mother said that my family has received great grace from the county lord of Jiashan, and she asked me to remember that if I meet her in the future, or if the surname is Shi, the surname Ouyang will remember to help others." ”

Dou Rongruo couldn't help but ask, "Then who is your mother?" What great favor did you receive from that county lord? ”

The little boy's eyes widened, "My mother is my mother, but she is not at home." Well, she said that she had eaten a dim sum made by the county lord, called Jia Couple Tiancheng, but it was delicious! ”

Dou Rongruo looked at Ouyang Kang, but his eyes were confused, and he only reached out and touched the little boy, "Thank you, let's go." ”

He pulled Dou Rongruo to leave quickly, the little boy turned back, and the gang couldn't find anyone, so they came to inquire.

When the little boy went back to the store, he still squatted down to grab chess pieces and play, and said "I don't know" when he asked anything.

The woman was surprised, "Could it be that I made a mistake?" ”

Her eyes lit up suddenly, "No! That's Ouyang Kang, otherwise what would he hide when he saw me? Quick, go back and report to Uncle Chai to know! ”

On the other side, Dou Rongruo, who knew that his whereabouts had been leaked, had to divide into two ways again after meeting with Lao Yang.

"You go to Yingfeng Bridge as originally planned, find a way to inform the helper, and say that we are waiting for him at the Sansheng Lake opposite."

Now that the young man and woman are on the road alone, Dou Rongruo has no choice but to pull up his hair in a bun, change into a woman's outfit, and go on the road with Ouyang Kang. Because I was afraid that someone would chase me and inquire, I didn't dare to stay in the inn, so I had to stay in a house.

Since they are husband and wife, they only give one bed and one quilt, Dou Rongruo is not easy to say anything, he is embarrassed, fortunately, Ouyang Kang is very polite all the way, and he does not sleep with her, only slightly crooked on the table and chair.

But in less than two days, people looked haggard, and they had a cold before, and they even started to have a fever. Even if you take medicine, it doesn't get better.

Dou Rongruo gritted his teeth, and when he stayed again this day, he grabbed him, "I believe you are a gentleman, now the matter is urgent, let's all lie down in clothes, and take care of our bodies." ”

Seeing that she was already lying sideways facing inwards with red ears, Ouyang Kang thought about it and lay down outward.

He was sick for several days, and he didn't rest well, but he fell asleep quickly, but Dou Rongruo couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

Although it is easy to say, but she is an unmarried woman who shares a bed with a man, even if it is nothing, always has a bad reputation. If Ouyang Kang is a man who has never married a wife, there can be some explanations, but he has already married a wife......

Dou Rongruo was in turmoil for a while, and he couldn't tell whether he was regretful, sad or what, he just wanted to take Ouyang Kang to meet his father-in-law as soon as possible, and it was important to solve the matter.

The road is slow, and the waiting time is more like a year.

Broken Garden.

Nianfu crooked in front of the window, looked at the autumn scenery after the rain on the corridor for a while, and suddenly remembered something, "Chun Miao, go and tell Ah Yao, when the crabs are fat, let's make some crab sauce and collect them." Mr. loves to eat this mixed noodles very much, don't ban it again because I can't eat it. Buy some fresh ones and come back for you to taste, just avoid the potatoes. Go back and send what we did to the Shen Mansion as well, and let them taste our craftsmanship. ”

"Then can I ask for a jar too?" Suddenly, someone laughed and opened the curtain and entered the house.

Nianfu turned his head to look, but it was Deqing.

Just wanted to say why she came over again, but Deqing laughed to himself first, "When I entered the garden, I saw your relatives, and the uncle of the Kang family sent two large baskets of fresh crabs." You're going to do this, but you just have something ready-made. ”

When Nianfu heard that, he hurriedly got up and asked her to sit down and pour tea, and asked people to pick up the little potato boy, and then instructed someone to fetch something, so that he could give it back to Kang Shoujing in a while.

Deqing said, "Don't be busy first, we are not serious guests, you come the same." ”

Nianfu still explained them one by one in the end, and then gossiped with her, "It's just you, it's not easy for my eldest cousin." Since he left, because he has not remarried, it is not easy to use even a younger maid in the family. It's just that the ones on the side are just the ones they wear, and the ones they wear are a little indecent. Every time he came, I took care of it, and I took care of it for him. ”

Deqing couldn't help but be curious, "Then why doesn't he want to remarry?" You seem to have said last time that his ex-wife has already remarried, right? ”

Nianfu sighed lightly, "You are not an outsider, so I won't coax you with those lies." His grandmother was not in good health, and she had been sick a lot in the past few years. Uncle and aunt, but the trouble became more and more unlikely, first said that the outer room was pregnant, and then found out that it was fake, and now his second uncle got two sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls in the room, thinking about giving birth to a son day and night...... In this way, it is difficult for people to take a daughter-in-law in, not to mention that their family doesn't want to pick him up yet. ”

Deqing is not a golden branch and jade leaf who does not understand the world, and when he heard this, he understood most of it in his heart.

As the eldest grandson of the long house, the grandmother at the head must be supported, not to mention that she is sick again, and it is even more difficult to serve. It's better to just stay up for a few years, get through the old man, and pick up the daughter-in-law again, which will save you a lot of trouble.

After all, no matter how close an uncle and aunt are, as long as they don't have a grandmother, they are separated by a layer in the end, and they don't need so many scruples to do many things.

Only the second aunt Kang regrets it very much now, and she didn't take advantage of Kang Shouyi's young age to pass him over. Now that it's bigger, and it has its own grange industry, even if you barely get through the door, you will definitely not be sincere.

Originally, when the He family had an accident, Nianfu still thought about whether their family would entangle her, and asked her to rescue Kang Jierong. Unexpectedly, the second uncle of the Kang family gave up on that daughter a long time ago, and although the second aunt Kang was a little unbearable, she was even more afraid of being implicated by her daughter.

Since then, Kang Shoujing has seen through the selfishness of the pair of uncles and aunts, and at most he has sent clothes and food to Kang Jierong in prison a few times, and he has done his best.

Speaking of which, this cousin is also to blame, if she hadn't insisted on going her own way and had a wrong thought, how could she have ended up like this? Or, if she is going to get married, she will resign herself to living in peace, and she will always have a few years of comfortable life, and she will not be "lingering on the sickbed" for so many years, and she will be imprisoned with the He family.

Kang Shoujing is now only dedicated to helping his younger brother take care of the grange, but he keeps melons and fruits all year round. Nianfu saw that he still had enough strength to spare, so he simply handed over several imperial houses given by his own suburbs of Beijing to him to take care of, and he did more and more diligently, and he never left the spring planting and autumn harvest.

I went to invite An Lai to the old lady and Su Cheng, and brought the little potato boy here to Nianfu by the way.

Because Deqing was there, he only gossiped with them outside the curtain.

The little potato boy got a new cage of grasshoppers, which was very novel, lying on Kang Shoujing's lap, listening to the gossip of adults, and teasing the grasshopper with vegetable leaves.

“…… This year's harvest is good, only the autumn harvest is coming soon, and there is another busy job. Maybe if you come again, you will have to go down in the new year. This basket of crabs didn't come out of our field, but was sent by a bee catcher to try it. Our crops are good, and he was allowed to let the bees go before, but I didn't expect that this time he had the heart and brought some things for us. Now that I see that there are still a lot of wild osmanthus flowers behind the mountains and forests, I will also ask him to put them back, and when the honey is brewed, I will send them to you. ”

Nianfu smiled, and just wanted to say something, Deqing couldn't help but interject, "In that case, why don't you let people go to your Pingwang Mansion to put it back?" I remember the flowers there. Especially the osmanthus, it is almost the season. If you simply raise a few boxes of bees at home, what nectar do you want in the future? ”

Kang Shoujing hurriedly said, "The flowers in the house are raised for the nobles, get some bees back, it's weird and scary." If you sting someone, it's not good. ”

Nian Fu said, "It's okay. This beekeeping thing was originally mentioned in the broken garden, but because there were so many people here, I felt a little inconvenient, so I gave up, and the Pingwang Mansion was quiet. I'm afraid that Ah Shun also has an idea, but it's hard to mention it. You go back and talk to Ah Shun about it, and if you can, bring the beekeeper and put it back for a try. Give him some hard-earned money and collect some honey. If so, it would be better if they were willing to teach us. ”

Kang Shoujing said with a smile, "I don't dare to say that the apprentices are accepted, but if they are invited, they will definitely come." The osmanthus of the Pingwang Mansion is famous in the entire capital. ”

Woo!

Suddenly, the little potato boy somehow tore the straw gnat, and the gnatfish jumped out, as if trying to escape.

The little potato boy was in a hurry, and he was about to chase Kang Shoujing.

Nianfu saw it through the curtain, and his face sank, "Let him go!" If you can't catch up, you deserve it. It's always like this every time, and when you break a toy, you find someone to cry. You can't get used to this problem! ”

Uh-huh-

When Little Potato Boy heard her say this, he became more and more anxious to cry. I chased it twice before running, but I didn't pounce, and I saw that the grasshopper was about to jump into the grass, and its little mouth was deflated like a bitter melon, and the poor Baba came back and pulled Kang Shoujing's sleeve.

Deqing couldn't bear it, Kang Shoujing looked at the teary-eyed little appearance, and couldn't stand it even more. Three or two times for him to catch the grasshopper back, afraid of Nianfu scolding, quickly led him to the side to weave a straw cage.

Seeing that Nianfu was still calm, Deqing persuaded, "Okay, okay, child, there is no seriousness in the start." Where's the care? ”

Nianfu didn't look at her angrily, "You guys can sing and sing, but that bastard boy is not good at teaching, and he doesn't know how to be skinny!" ”

Deqing listened to the singing of one and four words, and he couldn't help but feel a little hot, knowing that Nianfu was not intentional, so he quickly changed the topic, "Look at me patronizing and talking about something that doesn't matter, but I forgot a serious thing." ”

"What?"

"Do you know who the Queen Mother brought back?"

Nianfu was stunned, has something to do with her?

"Lu Ying." Dehai sneered, "It's a cook sent by her mother's family." Who doesn't know how many pairs of eyes are up and down in this palace, all of them are blind? ”

Nianfu was really surprised this time, she knew that Queen Wang was not in a good situation recently, but as for her to get Lu Ying back and find trouble for herself?

Deqing said, "You can be careful, that woman used to deal with you, and now she has run back, I'm afraid she will find you to make trouble." ”

Before her words fell, Lai Xi, who was already the steward of Xianyuan, hurriedly came to report, "County Lord, that Lu Ying is back again, and he came to us to make trouble, ordered a table of dishes, picked thorns there, and said a lot of ugly things, asking us to lose money." Sister Cuirong couldn't cope with it and asked what to do. ”

Deqing's face changed, and he was about to be angry. Nianfu patted her hand, "It's good if you can come and tell me." Go back, it's not for you to get involved, I can handle it. ”

Deqing was still not at ease, "Then I'll accompany you to take a look." ”

Nianfu shook his head, "It's not good for you to go, it's me who came to find her, just let me go." ”

Ordered someone to send Deqing back, stay in Kang Shoujing for dinner, think about it, change his clothes, and go to the leisure garden.

Xianyuan is now the premier place in the capital and a place for the ladies of large families to negotiate and meet. The biggest thing about coming to a place like this is that it's quiet. One garden is staggered from one garden to another, and it will never be seen unless you have the heart to reveal it. And even if there is a lot of noise in a garden, as long as you have the intention to cover it up, others will not know about it.

So Lu Ying saved the effort to make a big noise, although she came to provoke, she sat there amicably, and only approved the tea and food in the broken garden for nothing.

Then the request is simple, a refund.

Cui Rong was so angry that her face turned white, if she returned the money, would they still have a reputation? Will you be able to do business in the future? But no matter what she said, Lu Ying just said this:

It's not delicious, and it doesn't live up to its name. Don't believe it, let her come.

If it weren't really impossible, Cui Rong wouldn't let Laixi ask for blessings. When Nian Fu came, she was full of shame, "It's a slave and a maid who is useless......

Nianfu waved his hand, "Come in with me." ”

In the elegant guest room, Lu Ying was drinking tea.

When Nianfu came in, she took a deep look at Nianfu, looked at her bright but not pretentious dress, looked at her bulging belly and slightly haggard face, and then got up with a light smile, "Say hello to the county lord." ”

Nianfu didn't return the salute, went straight to the top and sat down, didn't tell her to get up, and said in an old-fashioned manner, "I haven't seen you for a long time, you're old." ”

Lu Ying was stunned for a moment, then her face turned pale, and she almost gritted her teeth and said, "The county lord's face is not very good." ”

Nianfu glanced down at her, and said lightly, "I am going to be the mother of two children soon, how can I not be old?" Why aren't you married yet? There is really no one who wants it, but I have a few slaves and maids in my house who can be assigned to you. ”

Lu Ying was so angry that she trembled all over, she almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and the arrogance that she wanted to find fault with before was turned into a stomach full of hatred, and she took a deep breath before she could speak, "Even if the slave doesn't marry, she has a good life." Don't bother the county lord. ”

Nianfu said indifferently, "It's not a matter of bothering or bothering." Well, you're good to go. ”

Lu Ying raised her head coldly, "The slave and maid are not over, and they can't leave yet." ”

"How?"

Lu Ying finally found an opportunity and immediately said, "Even if the slave maid has a humble status, she is also a guest here. But these dishes are not very good......"

"Cui Rong." Nian Fu suddenly interrupted her and said, "Since we opened, have any guests said anything like this?" ”

Cui Rong said angrily, "No! ”

Nianfu nodded, "How many princesses and duchess, Miss Qianjin didn't pick on it, but you are the one who is a slave and you are picky, what should people say?" said that you are more noble than those princesses and ladies, and all the daughters and ladies, they can eat it, but you can't eat it. It seems that you are more capable of this minion? ”

Lu Ying choked again, choking so much that she almost lost her breath.

After a while, she stopped pretending, "County Lord, it's useless for us to say those boring words, since you and I are both cooks, it's better to compete in cooking skills today." If I lose, let the county lord deal with it, and if I win, please ask the county lord to admit it. County Lord, you won't dare, will you? ”

Nianfu smiled, and said more and more slowly, "What if you dare, what if you don't dare?" I've also studied cooking, but I'm also a county lord. And you're just a slave who uses your cooking skills to make a meal. Why should I compete with you? Why do you want me to compare with you? What's more, if you lose, and say that it is up to me to deal with it, and I will let you die, will you go? Even if you are willing to die, what good will it do me? But if I lose, I have to let you be a little slave and climb up on the shoulders of me, the county lord, you are very good at taking people for fools? ”

In the end, there was already a chill in her words.

Lu Ying had nothing to say, and suddenly said, "The county lord's fetus is quite hard to conceive, right?" ”

Before Nianfu could answer, she said, "On the way to Beijing, I once saw Junma, with a young and beautiful woman, very intimate. ”

Looking at her provocative gaze, Nian Fu suddenly smiled again, "Thank you." ”

In Lu Ying's stunned expression, Nian Fu said, "Thank you for telling me the news that he is safe." If there is nothing else, you can go. ”

Lu Ying was angry and left angrily.

Cui Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly became worried again, "Don't believe her about Junma." ”

Nian Fu said, "Why don't you believe? If someone else said this, I might not believe it, but if she did, I did. ”

"But how could Junma be like that?"

Nianfu smiled, "Since you don't even believe it, why should you doubt it?" It's good that we know that the horses are safe. I've worked hard for you today, but she dares to make trouble, and most of the people behind her are backing her, so be careful lately. ”

She got up and wanted to leave, but suddenly frowned slightly, and Cui Rong was startled, "What's wrong?" ”

Nianfu raised his eyebrows and smiled, "It's okay, the little thing kicked me." Xu knew that his father was safe, and his heart was happy. ”

Seeing that she left carelessly, Cui Rong was relieved.

"Then I'll go and tell Princess Zhenshun, it's inconvenient to come forward to her in this matter today, but if Lu Ying really comes to make trouble, it's better to let her think of a way."

Nianfu nodded, "Go get busy." ”

She went back with someone of her own. As soon as he told Su Cheng about this news, he was the same as Nianfu, but he believed it seven or eight points.

But the old lady became more and more anxious when she heard this, "If Kang'er is fine, why haven't you come back?" ”

This is a question that everyone wants to know.
