The outer courtyard of the half pavilion is separated from the inner wan by a small river, and the wooden house where Xie Jiang lives is diagonally facing the wooden bridge over the river. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Cross the wooden bridge to the west, and there are four or five other small courtyards.

The courtyard was inhabited by maids and servants.

The sun came out of the westernmost courtyard, looked around, and walked quickly to push the door of the courtyard next door.

Mama Han took the cotton clothes and was drying them on the rope, and when she heard the door, she turned around to look.

"Oops! Why did Mama get up? I'll dry it, and Mama will rest in the house. The sun walked over quickly, and reached out to get the cotton clothes.

Mama Han's eyes swept over her face a few times, and she let go and sighed: "I'm old, I can't lift my arms......." After talking for a while, he suddenly remembered and seemed to ask, "You just went out?" ”

The sun gestured for a moment, and then turned to look at Mama Han and said: "I heard Ah Rong next door say that since the last time I fell off the cliff, Mrs. was always weak, so I was a little worried. ”

What are you worried about? It's happy.

Mama Han sneered secretly, and sighed worriedly on her face: "Alas! Madame was frightened, and thought that she would have to raise her for a little longer. ”

Seeing that Mama Han followed the words, the sun drooped to hide her joy, and when she raised her eyes again, she was worried again: "Now the two of them are in Yinghe in the cold pond and twilight, and Xinyue doesn't know where they went, and there is only Beidou serving ...... by Mrs. As he spoke, he raised his hand and took Mama Han into the house.

Speaking of which, do you want to go or do you want to go to Madame's side?

That's it!

Mama Han stopped thinking about it, then paused, frowned, and said, "It's really old and confused...... Madame does not assign work, that is, you and I are still around her. ”

Since the two of them came back to Fuyun Mountain, Xie Jiang only said that he would let the two rest in the small courtyard for a few days, and indeed did not arrange any errands for the two.

Mama Han has been with Xie Jiang for a few years, and she has always figured out the master's temperament.

The words that came out of her mouth, even if there were no tens, were always eight or nine points.

Jiaoyang's face showed a little joy: "Hearing Mama say this, Madam is afraid that this is what it means." As he spoke, his eyes rolled around and fell on Mama's old face.

I can tell you what you think in your heart from your face, isn't it for decades that you have been in the back house for decades!

Mama Han lowered her eyelids, and after a moment, her eyelids lifted, frowned at her and said, "Fetch water and wash, you and I will go to see Madame." ”

After returning from Houwan, the ninth prince practiced calligraphy in the hall. After practicing four or five sheets, the feeling is getting better, and a servant woman outside the door whispered: "The slave and maid Aqian begged to see the son." ”

According to the etiquette, unless the master asks for it, the lowly servant woman cannot ask for it on her own. Now Ah Qian asked to see him, but the ninth prince was not the slightest surprised, and said lightly: "Come in." ”

"Yes." There was a sound outside the door, and it was about Ah Qi Shili. As soon as the sound stopped, Ah Qian lifted the curtain and entered the house.

Ah Qian was at the door for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiu Gongzi standing in front of the table, holding the cuffs with one hand and writing with a pen in the other, and then lowered his eyelids and saluted.

The ninth prince was faint between his eyebrows, and his gestures kept stopping, only asking, "What's the matter?" ”

Ah Qian stepped forward and walked a few steps, until he was closer to the first desk, then lowered his head and said, "Son Qiqi, the two of them went to see Madame." As he spoke, he raised his finger and pointed at Houwan.

In fact, she pointed out that it was redundant, and the ninth prince only looked down at the handbook with his eyes, and did not raise his head: "Has she had any abnormalities in the past few days?" ”

Ah Qian lowered her eyebrows again, and said softly: "Yesterday, in the middle of the unitary hour, she went to Zhaoshui Forest to bury this thing, and asked the son to take a look." As he spoke, he took out a small green cloth bag from his sleeve pocket and held it with both hands.

Buried something? Jiu Gongzi frowned, took the cloth bag, and opened it layer by layer, but saw that there was a hosta inside.

Under the shimmering light, the hairpin body is transparent and moist, showing an extraordinary product.

Jiu Gongzi's expression froze, he only squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, and suddenly hooked the corners of his lips: "I can't think of ......." After saying half a sentence, he said sarcastically: "It's a good skill." ”

Hearing that his tone was wrong, Ah Qian couldn't help but look up at the hairpin, and couldn't help but be stunned, and lost his voice: "This...... It was the ...... in the royal palace. ”

"Not bad." The ridicule in the eyes of the ninth prince became stronger, and he raised his hand to hand over Bupa, and lightly ordered, "Still bury it back in its original place." ”

Ah Qian took it with both hands, and when he was careful, he tucked into the placket of his clothes again, and glanced at the ninth son.

Jiugongzi didn't raise his eyebrows, picked up the pen again, and Ah Qian saluted: "The slave and maid retire." He stepped back.

The cotton curtain swayed and fell again.

Jiu Gongzi wrote the word "concubine" on the paper, and when he finally put away the pen, his eyes were cold.

When I was going up the stone steps on the distant mountain, I met Ah Qian who came out with the curtain.

This is not the kind of work that Hou Wan does...... How did you get here? Yuan Shan couldn't help but look at her suspiciously.

Ah Qian hurried away along the corridor.

The distant mountains scratched their heads and went into the house.

The paper blown by the cold wind was lifted, and the ninth prince raised his eyes, and Yuan Shan hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Report to the prince, Chen Yuanying has entered the palace of the new capital." ”

entered the palace, and at this moment he must have also seen the king.

Further down ...... will do everything possible to come to Fuyun Mountain.

The corners of Jiugongzi's lips curled slightly, and he smiled coldly.

After three days in this trance, on this morning, Xie Jiang went to see Xiao Yi and returned to Neiwan.

As soon as he sat down in the hall, Dongcheng hurried up to the corridor. When the man got to the bottom of the porch, he saw two little girls standing outside the curtain with their hands down, and asked, "Madame, can you be in the hall?" ”

The two little girls looked at each other, approached the door of the hall and whispered, "Madame has just come back, do you want to pass it on?" ”

The two asked and answered, and Xie Jiang had already heard it.

In the past few days, in addition to playing chess with Xie Jiang, and occasionally accompanying her to the guest house to see Xiao Yi, Jiugongzi only told her not to bother.

Come over from Dongcheng at this time...... Xie Jiang's eyebrows frowned, and he said softly: "Come in and talk back." ”

"Yes, ma'am." Dongcheng lifted the curtain and entered the hall, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Xie Jiang sitting on the top sipping tea, so he stepped forward and walked a few steps, bowed and said, "The servant has seen Madame, Madame Da'an." ”

Xie Jiang put down his pickle, looked at him and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Dongcheng said respectfully: "Fang Cai Xindu came to the inner servant to pass on the edict, and said that Xiao Chen Hou has heard that the plum blossoms of Fuyun Mountain are the best in the world, and he will go up the mountain in the afternoon to enjoy the tucks." ”

Sure enough, it came. Thought that if you take the king of Feng as a trance, what kind of envoy identity will be all right?

Xie Jiang secretly sneered in his heart, but asked on his lips: "Who is the waiter to accompany him?" ”

Dongcheng bowed down and said, "Accompanied by Doctor An Shichang." ”

An Shichang? At the beginning, the four princesses wanted to marry the ninth prince, and they used the two sisters-in-law of the An family to set up a situation in Yelan Tingyu Lake, but the two sisters-in-law of the An family drowned in the lake.

Although it was the fault of the four princesses at the beginning, in the end, it was also the old king who wanted to deal with the major clans and borrowed the hands of the four princesses.

Now that the small feudal king has ascended the throne, he is also guarding against the major clans.

Will the An family be dead set on King Xiaofeng?

Again...... King Xiaofeng thought that befriending Chen Hou would save him from the scourge of the war, but he could avoid it, and the An family also knew it.

After thinking about this, Xie Jiang asked softly, "An Yuan is here?" ”

Since he came to report, who accompanied Chen Yuanying, how many people accompanied him, and what the identities of these people were, Dongcheng had already found out clearly.

Dongcheng bowed down and said, "Yes, An Langjun is also among the entourage." ”

It's good that An Yuan is here, Xie Jiang frowned and thought about it, and ordered in a soft voice: "He is not used to getting along with people, so I guess he will copy the path and go uphill...... You go to the trail and wait for him. ”

Dongcheng replied in a deep voice, and then looked at Xie Jiang and picked up a cup of tea to sip tea, and the man bowed and retreated.
