Li Wei leaned on the kang table and took a nap, until she felt that her body was getting cold and she couldn't stand it anymore and had to wake up.

As soon as she moved, Yuyan hurriedly came over and said, "Master, go to bed and rest." ”

Only then did she realize that she was still sitting in the room, and the lamp was still lit in the room. She shook her head and said, "No, fetch water, I will remove all the hairpin rings." ”

After washing off the rouge gouache and removing the hairpin ring, she only combed a big braid, ate a bowl of beef noodles hotly, put a plate on the kang table, and asked Yuyan to hold a thick quilt for her.

Yuyan not only gave her a thick quilt, but also poured her a copper soup woman, and said, "Master, long live and don't know when you will come back." I heard that I went back to the palace, and this time and again, maybe there will be no news until tomorrow, and it's useless for you to wait here. ”

The Old Summer Palace is a day's journey from the Forbidden City, and it takes at least an hour or two for fast horses. It's almost three shifts now, and it's dawn when she speaks, so she might as well go back to sleep while guarding here.

But there was always a string tied in her heart, so she didn't dare to sleep at all.

She said: "I have nothing to do all day long, and staying up all night is nothing." Let alone...... I guess the news is coming soon......"

Before the evening, the thirteenth master sent a secret letter, and after the fourth master received it, he only had time to say a word to her and took someone away, telling her not to make a noise in advance.

The Old Summer Palace is not a palace, and it is okay if the fourth master does not go to the Qinzheng Palace in the morning.

She just wanted to be the first to hear the news.

The master didn't sleep, and Yuyan also boiled with her, and she leaned on the edge of the smoker and yawned one after another. Li Wei asked her to come up, Yuyan confessed, took off her shoes and coat and got in from the end of the kang, and only covered her legs with a quilt.

In order to lift her spirits, Li Wei raised the conversation and said, "You haven't been home for a while, why don't you call your son to the garden to meet you during the Chinese New Year?" It's okay to see your husband if you want to. ”

Although Yuyan was happy to hear it, she still refused after thinking about it, and said: "The master is very gracious, it's just that there are a lot of things at home during the New Year, and he is the boss of the family, so he has to support him up and down, and it takes a lot of time on the road to call him over, just to see each other." In the future, Zaijian will be the same. ”

"What about the son? Have someone take your son? Li Wei said.

Yuyan still shook his head and said, "There are many brothers and sisters at home, so let him be at home." There is a big place in the garden, and he is going to run around when he comes, and if he causes trouble, the slave and maid can't stand it. ”

Li Wei was not reluctant, and said: "I remember that your son is a little younger than Hongyun, and he has never worn a few of his previous clothes, and he can't wear them now, so let someone find them out for you tomorrow and send them back to your son to wear." ”

The things of the brothers are usually divided by the nurses, but Li Wei never does this. The nurse's children grew up with their brothers, and they always made clothes together, so they couldn't afford to take their brother's clothes to their children. It looks like a waste like this, but it also puts an end to the things that the nurse is greedy for.

Since the jade smoke was given, the jade bottle could not be left behind.

When Li Wei said that he was on the head, he asked Yuyan to find out the account books and clean up the inventory. I used to make a lot of clothes in the house every season, and it was nothing to follow up with the queen of the palace. Now there are only more clothes that I don't wear every year, and there are no less. There are a lot of Li Wei who don't remember at all.

Luckily, it's all in the books. There is no need to look at the real thing at this time, she only takes a pen to check out some of them that Hongyun and Hongyun can't use, and disposes of them another day.

Time flies quickly when there is something to do, and the day is gradually white, Yuyan got up and got dressed and said, "Master, don't be in a hurry to get up, it's very cold outside." ”

She went to arrange breakfast, and Li Wei confessed: "Let Hongyun not have to rush out of the house today, and wait for the sun to rise before going out." ”

Yuyan agreed, put on her cloak and went to the place where Brother Hongyun lived. Outside, the snow was five inches thick, and only the path in front of the door was clear. The little palace maid outside hurriedly came up to give her an umbrella to block the snow, she took the umbrella and said, "You are not wrapped in a cloak, come in and don't freeze, I can do it myself." ”

Coarse salt is sprinkled on the path to prevent freezing, and walking on it is like stepping on a fine gravel.

Yuyan held an umbrella in one hand and a cloak in the other, walking cautiously. As soon as she walked to the door, she saw that Zhang Bao was about to come in with someone, she hurriedly stood away, and bowed half-blessedly: "But are you looking for the master?" I'm going to report it. ”

Zhang Bao shook his head and asked everyone else to back away first. For Yuyan, the eldest grandmother beside the noble master, he didn't plan to use too rough means.

What's more, the words that came back from Banzai also told him not to frighten the concubine'.

In this case, it is best to let Yuyan take the initiative to follow them.

Yu Yanmin sensed that something was not quite right, her face looked even paler, and she involuntarily clenched the handle of the umbrella, and when Zhang Bao approached, she had to take half a step back.

Zhang Bao bow□ed slightly, and said politely: "Mama Yan doesn't need to panic, we can be regarded as old acquaintances, not to mention that you have been waiting for your lord for so many years, do you know how close to your lord is, and even the people around you are a little more valuable than those elsewhere." ”

Yuyan calmed down a little and said calmly: "Father-in-law Zhang, please say it directly, I have followed my master through a lot of things, and I have seen a lot, not to mention that my loyalty to my master can be proven." ”

Zhang Bao smiled, making people's hearts chill, and he nodded slightly: "Mama Yan is right." We were ordered to feed you, did you recognize a godbrother named Xiao Guizi in the palace before? ”

Yuyan's heart suddenly sank, and she nodded affirmatively, "Yes." In the twenty-eighth year of Kangxi, I entered the palace to wait, and in the thirty-fourth year, I entered the second institute of the elder brother, and since that year I have been waiting for the master. Xiao Guizi was a few years earlier than me in the second institute, and when I occasionally chatted, I found that my hometown was not far from his hometown, and he looked pitiful at the time, so he recognized his godfather. ”

Zhang Bao scribbled and said, "Oh, since that's the case, I'm afraid you will have to go with us." ”

Yuyan said: "Let me go and tell the master." ”

She turned around to leave, Zhang Bao followed two steps and said in a low voice: "Long live have something to say, don't scream to frighten your lord." Mama Yan has to say it well in front of your lord. ”

Yuyan glanced at him and hummed faintly.

In the room, Li Wei felt a little strange, but she still nodded and said, "I really didn't expect this, since this is the case, you can go back." Your father-in-law is also old, so don't really have an accident. You don't have to worry about me here, the people below are used to it. ”

Yuyan said: "Call the slave and maid, instead of asking the young man to support it first, it is better to call Zhao Quanbao in first." ”

Although Li Wei had a knot in her heart for the eunuch, now was not the time to be hypocritical, so she nodded and said, "Okay, you can call him over directly in a while." By the way, I have half a ginseng that I didn't use up last time, so I'll bring it back to you. ”

Yuyan kowtowed to thank her, and after she came out, she also seemed to explain to the palace maids outside waiting for her.

When she went outside, she found that Zhao Quanbao had already arrived, and she seemed to be talking to Zhang Bao. When I got closer, I heard Zhao Quanbao as if he was talking to Zhang Baoding: "Father-in-law Zhang is really a powerful person, don't say kowtow to the master when he comes, it is also a matter of one sentence to take the people around the master, and the little one is really admired." ”

Zhang Baozhen didn't plan to make a feud with your master's people, so he had no choice but to make a guarantee: "Brother Zhao, I'll give you a packing ticket, how to take Mama Yan away, how to bring it back for you, and guarantee that there will be a lot of hairs for you." Is it done? I'm also on an errand. ”

Zhao Quanbao is just expressing an attitude, otherwise anyone can enter your master's yard to get people, and he still doesn't say anything, so where will your lord's face go?

Seeing Zhang Baoken bow his head, he let him go. Turning his head to see Yuyan, he first pulled her aside and said, "What did you tell your master?" ”

Yuyan has calmed down now, and she still smiled, and said: "I said that my husband can't stay up, and there can be no shortage of people in the family during the New Year, so let the master let me go back to support for two days." I also told my master that you are allowed to enter the house and wait for you in the next few days. Those little ones haven't been trained yet, and I really don't feel at ease when I hand over my master to them. ”

Zhao Quanbao said: "The master has me here, you don't have to worry." Zhang Bao refused to penetrate the slightest wind, and he said that you were weishenme, you gave me a word, so that I could have a bottom. ”

Yuyan slightly avoided Zhang Bao's gaze staring at her, and her lips moved slightly: "Wu Gui." ”

Zhang Bao saw that the two of them were talking endlessly, and urged: "We still have to rush on the road, and it will be too late for Mama to come back." ”

Zhao Quanbao got out of the way and watched Yuyan being taken away by Zhang Bao and others.

"Wu Gui......" Zhao Quanbao narrowed his eyes.

When Li Wei was having breakfast, Zhao Quanbao quietly stood in the house. After breakfast, she saw that the sun outside had poked her head out, so she said, "Change clothes, I'll take a look at Hongyun." ”

Everything was fine there, pestering her to say that she wanted to go out for a snowball fight. Hongyun originally said that he was going to get pox, but recently he was controlled and couldn't catch a cold or be cold, and he hadn't come to take him out for several days.

Li Wei pestered him for a while and said, "If it's not cloudy at noon, I'll let you out." ”

Hongyun waited for noon in his heart, there was nothing to do at this time, and it happened that Lord Wu was not happy to go out to fly when he saw the cold, and squatted on the smoker every day to eat melon seeds, peanuts and chestnuts. He stood in front of the U-sama and teased it with peanuts and chestnuts, and he threw them, and the U-sama glided indoors to catch them.

In order for him to have fun with Uzuma, the room was moved to an empty place, and things that were easy to beat and touched, such as vases, were gone.

Li Wei came out after playing with him for a while, looked at the blue sky against the white snow, and sighed: "The weather is so good." ”

Zhao Quanbao smiled: "Do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

The lake in the garden has been covered with thick ice, and if the fourth master is there, the guards should take the children to skate and play.

The lake is so quiet that you can only see the occasional lone bird streaking across the sky.

Li Wei stood by the lake and spit out a puff of white smoke, and asked Zhao Quanbao softly: "The jade smoke was taken away?" ”

It was just dawn, and the garden was heavily gated. Even if the people of the Yuyan family have wings, it is impossible for them to fly in to report to her, not to mention that her father-in-law is seriously ill, even if her father-in-law was breathed last night, her mother-in-law would never dare to come to the garden at this time to call her out.

Zhao Quanbao didn't intend to hide it from his master, so he nodded and said, "Yes, Zhang Bao came in person just now." The slave didn't look like he was suspicious of Yuyan, it was probably the younger brother that Yuyan recognized in his early years. ”

Li Wei recalled carefully before remembering: "The one called Xiao Guizi?" After entering the palace, it seems that he came up first, and what he was looking for was a jade bottle. "At that time, Yuyan hadn't come back yet.

Zhao Quanbao said: "Yes, Yuyan asked him a few times later. ”

Li Wei remembered that Cao Deyi and the eldest aunt of Changchun Palace were taken away, which was a letter sent by this noble father-in-law.

How did he get involved with this poisoned drink?
