Because of the comfortable mood, I got up early the next morning, although Sister Xiyun told me that Ah Ye should first go back to the Huguo Mansion to greet the elders, have a reception banquet, and probably come here at night, but as long as I think of meeting immediately, I am like sitting on pins and needles, and it is difficult to calm down for a moment, but fortunately, Liu Chang also went out early in the morning, thinking that he should go to the city gate to welcome him back to the house together, otherwise when he sees me like this, he will inevitably laugh at me again. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

I still remember the first time Ah Ye came to the Frost Garden, and praised Qiu Ju's dim sum for being delicate and delicious, so I was also waiting for someone this day, so I might as well do something to have a pastime, and I could pass the time. Although I didn't have any talent in making pastries, I used to be a foodie, and I probably knew how ordinary cakes were made, so I took Sister Xiyun to the kitchen to get busy. It took half a bag of flour, countless eggs, and five or six experiments, and finally managed to make a small cake with acceptable texture and good appearance. Although the process is simpler, it is better because the color is bright and the taste is soft, which can be regarded as ingenious here.

It's a pity that everyone is afraid of trying it, and has long been far away, Sister Xiyun and I haven't eaten for a day, and we have eaten the test cake, even if the most successful pot cake is the most tempting, we can't eat it in one bite, so we have to put it on a plate, put it in the food box first, and wait for Ah Ye to come back, and he will evaluate it.

After a day of cakes, it did dilute a lot of my anxious mood, thinking that the house would only have dinner at this time, how could it take an hour, Ah Ye was able to get out, Sister Xiyun suggested going to the village road behind the courtyard to walk, and also have a good meal, the province of food and sleep at night, I also had this intention to take a walk, so I took the two mothers-in-law out together.

I still remember the first time I came to the annex, I was fascinated by the beautiful scenery of the sunset, and now although it has been summer for a long time, the endless green space in the fields is swaying with the gentle breeze, and the dry air of the day is also a lot. Walking through the paths and in the fields, it seems that I am like a drop in the ocean, greedy for the last ray of sunshine under the beautiful sunset, refusing to leave or give up.

When I went back, an hour had passed, and Sister Xiyun told me not to be in a hurry, saying that she had already instructed someone to come to the field to report the news of Ah Ye as soon as we had news of Ah Ye. Thinking that it was just today, why did he act so anxious, plainly making people laugh, so he said: "Sister laughs at me, how can I be in a hurry, I just walk tired and thirsty, I want to go back to have a cup of tea earlier." ”

"In that case, let the young masters wait, Lai's mother will go to Xing'er's house in front to call the door, let's go in and drink a bowl of water, rest our feet and go back." Sister Xiyun instructed, Lai's mother was naturally tired, and hurriedly stepped forward to call the door, and before I could think of a good excuse to excuse herself, she was dragged by Sister Xiyun to Xing'er's house, I really can't imagine that Xiyun's cloud is like a cloud, and it actually has the power of Yunxiu, so it seems that Sister Xiyun is probably also a practitioner, and she can't complain about walking for so long, I and my two mothers are tired, she still looks light, and now she is under the eaves of others, so she has to bow her head, so she has to go with them to beg for water to drink.

"Mother, Sister Xiyun has come to see me!" Sure enough, a little girl like Qingqing came to open the door, and threw herself into Xiyun's arms, and after a while, her mother also hurried out, grabbed Xiao Qingxing and admonished her. "Excuse me Aunt Hua, this is Miss Qin, we have been walking in the countryside for a long time, and we are a little thirsty, so we came to ask for a bowl of water to drink." Xiyun said politely. "Miss Xiyun is too polite, but this well water is bitter, I'm afraid that the nobles won't be used to drinking it, and we poor people don't have anything to entertain, just a few small watermelons in the field are ripe, and they are quite sweet, if the girls don't dislike it, it's best to eat some defeated heat." In the countryside, it is generally the best things to entertain guests, Xiyun naturally will not insist on asking for water to drink, so she and her mother went to cut watermelon, Xiyun is also familiar with the way to lead me to sit on the wooden bench in the garden, the mothers are very knowledgeable about the rules, moved two small stools to sit very close to the door, but far away from us.

"Listening to Aunt Hua's accent, I don't look like a local, and I don't see a man in charge at home, I don't know how my sister met?" I asked curiously, "Her mother and daughter are also pitiful, and the family can be regarded as a cultivator, but unfortunately the head of the family went early, and came to Kyoto to seek refuge with relatives, but the family was snobbish and refused to take it in, so a few taels of silver were sent out." Aunt Bihua is also a showman, so she refuses to sell herself as a maid no matter what, and only occasionally takes Xing'er to the kitchen to help for a few days. I happened once, seeing the exquisiteness of her handkerchief embroidery, I recommended an embroidery room to her to work, so that she could make a living. "I really can't see that Xiyun still has the potential to be a philanthropist, it is really a person who cannot be seen, the sea water is not measured, and helping people is like this, it is also considered to be the best.

Most of the watermelon soaked in the well for a while, the entrance is really cold, sweet and juicy, and I have always been bitter summer, I can't help but eat more, Xiyun saw that I like to eat, I have to buy a few to take back when I go, Aunt Hua does not follow, I have to give it in vain, it took a lot of time to argue, and before I knew it, it was dark, and a few of us paced back slowly.

Who knew that when I went back, Wu Ye still didn't come, but the porter said that Liu Chang was here, and I didn't care about the embarrassing scene that would appear when I was alone, so I went directly to his room, who knew that the house was dark and the lights were dark, most of the people were not there, Sister Xiyun asked someone to ask, said that he went to the hall, I rushed to the hall again, only to see his face slightly red, a mouthful of tea, a bite of snacks to eat, came closer, only to find that he had eaten all the cakes in my entire food box, and now half of the bite in his hand was the last piece. I couldn't help but be angry, and said: "Why are you so rude, without other people's permission, it's just a matter of touching other people's things, a box full of cakes, you don't have a piece left, are you a starving ghost reincarnated, or can't you see me being good to Ah Ye?" ”

I think I must have eaten watermelon that night to say that. According to Sister Xiyun's description, Liu Chang's face was very long at that time, and he didn't say a word, but only glared at me viciously for a long time before he spit out the cake that was like a fish in his throat and left angrily. After a while, I came to my senses, and remembered that before I asked him if Ah Ye wanted to come, his little servant came to spread the word that Ah Ye was delayed, and it was estimated that it would take another hour to arrive.

I don't know if I was angry with Liu Chang, or for this extra hour of waiting, my heart was full of joy, like an infinitely inflated balloon, and finally burst at this last moment, I can't say whether I was angry or disappointed, I always felt that this parting was like this extra hour now, and it was no longer in my hands with him. After telling Xiyun that I would go back to my room to rest first, I quietly wandered back to the house alone, as if I had been drained from the bed and pretended to sleep.

In fact, nothing happened, and everyone has already returned, but we met at a late hour, and I have been waiting for more than two months, I don't know why I can't wait at this moment, after a spirit, I got up, went out, went straight to Liu Chang's room, knocked on the door once and pushed the door in, as if I didn't care what he was doing, I just wanted to ask him to send him away, and I wanted to leave immediately, as if I stayed for a second longer, something could change.

Liu Chang was really taken aback by my outrageous behavior, fortunately he was just drinking tea at the time, and the moment he saw me, he also turned from shock to anger, probably still sulking at what I said just now, "I ate and ate, you also scolded just now, but a box of pastries, do you still want to chase me into my room and continue to make trouble?" Liu Chang held the shelf of the eldest young master of his Protector's Mansion, and seemed to want to be on the bar with me, but unfortunately I didn't know that he was half-drunk and hurried back to deliver the letter, and he didn't eat anything at the banquet, and it happened that there was a cake box I made in the hall, and he thought it was a snack made in the kitchen, and because he was eating well, he didn't have anything next to him for a while, so he hurriedly and quickly killed my whole box of cakes, and then I was anxious to drink it with a white face, only to learn that I spent a lot of effort to make pastries for Wu Ye, although I was angry with the training, But he was still very proud of the pastry I had made, and if he knew that everyone in the kitchen was tired of eating the cake I made, he would not be so happy.

But at this moment, my mind is no longer on the box of cakes that I once fancied very much, looking at Liu Chang's seemingly angry face, thinking that he used to be so fierce to get my attention, suddenly, I feel that he is not so annoying, compared to Xiyunlai, I trust Liu Chang more in this house. Although Sister Xiyun is gentle and kind, and treats me with respect, she is a subordinate after all, and it is not yet known who she is loyal to, and at this moment, she wants to stop me with her skills, and she doesn't have to think about it to know that it is difficult to fly, if she only obeys orders with Wu Ye, wouldn't it be difficult for me to move an inch.

Thinking that only he can help me get out of this place that suffocates me right now, I simply relied on the love and jealousy in his heart, and quietly left by his hand, "Second brother, where are you talking, just now I was cautious and collided with my words, Fei Ying poured tea here and solemnly apologized to the second brother, and I hope that the second brother will not remember the villain, and spare me this time." Seeing that I was so solemn, Liu Chang turned his head sideways and coughed lightly uncomfortably, and said: "Although your words are ugly, blame me for not knowing the truth, since you act generously, I am a dignified seven-foot man, so naturally I will not worry about you anymore." Then he took the hot tea I handed out and took a sip, which was considered to be a complete disobedience.

"Second brother, if you are willing to forgive me, I will open my mouth, just now I suddenly remembered that my grandmother had an order, and I need to do it before today, but I only remembered it at this moment, and I delayed a lot of effort in vain, so I want to ask the second brother to send me back to the city immediately, I am afraid that grandma will blame me if it is late, and if I delay a major event, I am afraid that I will also die to apologize." I deliberately lied both flatteringly and seriously, hoping that Liu Chang could take me away at this moment, and I didn't care about how to cover up this matter in the future.

After listening to this, Liu Chang showed an expression of both nervousness and surprise, and pondered for a long time: "I don't know if Sister Shuang is in a hurry, but do you need my help?" I had already guessed that he was going to ask, so I continued to talk mysteriously, "I don't know if grandma needs the help of the second brother, but I must be going to go in person at the moment, it has been a long time, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the mistake will be added to the mistake, and I hope that the second brother can make a decision quickly." Seeing my expression of eagerness to do something, Liu Chang didn't want to guess and ask more, so he only asked hesitantly: "Feiying, don't you wait for Ah Ye to come over and leave?" Just to avoid him, of course I won't wait for him to come back before leaving, but I can't say that, so I can only put on a very tangled look, and then say categorically: "Grandma's business is important, and he has returned to Beijing, when can I not see him again, I still have to do things first." Liu Chang probably was still struggling with what to do in such a hurry, and he didn't see the evasive look in my eyes at all.

At first, Liu Chang wanted to send me back to the city in person, but I had to pretend to ask him to stay and explain to Ah Ye, so I was able to get out smoothly. Since I couldn't ride a horse or sit in a carriage, I suggested that the coachman take another shortcut back to the city, sit quietly in the corner of the carriage, and think about every detail of the escape again to make sure that there were no flaws, and then relax and wander back to the city. It was getting late, and I didn't want to go back to Shangshu Mansion again, so I went to Zhenbaozhai to settle down, sent the coachman, and informed Mu Ye and Master Bai before returning to my own exclusive cabin to rest.

Lying in the soft sleeper on the high bed, I remembered the sound of the galloping horses just now, and after counting the hours, I couldn't help but wonder if it could be Wu Ye rushing to the other courtyard? Yes or no, I feel like a cowardly hometown, knowing that he is there, but I never want to see him again.

"Ah Chang~, Ah Ying~, I'm back!" Wu Ye was full of alcohol, and rushed into the other courtyard with courage, but unfortunately there was only one good brother waiting for him, but he lost the clothes that were neither gorgeous nor beautiful, but made him worry about him every day. "Ah Ye, Feiying has been waiting for you all day, and there is indeed something urgent to do, so I will go back to the city first." Liu Chang saw that his brother and best friend were so lost, so he opened his mouth and comforted, "What's the urgency, you have to rush back so late?" Wu Ye asked unwillingly, "Naturally, it's my sister's business, and I blame her for being careless, I only remembered at this time, if it weren't for something important, I'm afraid that eight horses wouldn't be able to pull her away." You don't see how pitiful she looks like waiting for you, I heard the kitchen say that she was busy all afternoon making you snacks, and she was waiting for you to see him! Seeing that Wu Ye's face turned from cloudy to clear, he said cautiously: "I didn't eat much for dinner, but I drank a lot of wine, and when I came back from delivering a letter for you, I accidentally ate the box of dim sum that Fei Ying prepared for you, I really didn't have a heart, Fei Ying gave me a good meal when he saw this, we are good brothers, I take the initiative to confess, don't be serious with me." ”

Sure enough, they were friends who had been with each other for many years, and in a few words, Wu Ye dispelled his doubts, pretended to beat Liu Chang a few times, and then talked about the trip to Xijing. "No wonder your sister Qin also came with her this time, I'm afraid she is coming to give your grandmother a purpose, right?" Liu Chang asked with relief, "What Sister Qin, should be called Cousin Qi, how can the name of the daughter's family be said casually." Wu Ye corrected, looking at Liu Chang's ambiguous eyes, Wu Ye smiled coldly and continued: "I also know that I am getting older, although my mother is gone, my grandfather's family will definitely hope that I can marry and continue to consolidate the relationship between the two families." ”

"Although it was your grandfather's intention back then, seeing that your mother was frail, he was afraid of losing Xijinghou's noble relative, so he sent your aunt to be a noble concubine, presumably he also wanted to kiss and kiss." Liu Chang persuaded, "It's just the rhetoric on the face, if I believe it, the pain of my childhood will be in vain." Wu Ye said desolately, "Didn't you find something recently?" You still have to think long-term, after all, more than ten years have passed, and they are all your relatives, so don't hate the wrong people. Liu Chang had long known about this thorn in Wu Ye's heart, and always thought that the time was long ago, and there was no evidence to be found, and the pain in his heart would be healed sooner or later.

"This must be providential, Aunt Qi's nurse is old, she was released to reunite with her family before last year, my people asked the result on the front foot, and the old man on the back foot called someone to kill him. So I'm sure the words she spits out are absolutely credible. Wu Ye said viciously, "Is it really your aunt who entered the door after you killed your mother?" Based on what you have investigated over the years, your grandfather's attitude towards her back then, presumably if she gives birth to an heir in the future, she will definitely be promoted to be an equal wife? What's more, she is your mother's own sister, why is this? Liu Chang couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"What else can there be, greed is not enough. My father liked my mother when he was a child, although he knew that my mother was a concubine, and finally begged my grandfather to let my mother enter the door as a wife, but unfortunately my grandparents died early, and my mother was weak and childless. Aunt Qi entered the door and my mother was cherished by my father, often through sisterhood, send my mother food, when my mother was pregnant, the body has been in a bad condition, my father has repeatedly discouraged the abortion, my mother felt even more ashamed of the Wu family, so I desperately gave birth to me, and died. Let's ask where the rich and noble status of Mrs. Hou is there, how can that slut be willing to be a flat wife! Listening to Wu Ye's calm discussion, it was like a drama of other people's wives and concubines competing for favor, which had nothing to do with him, and Liu Chang couldn't help but feel kink.

Liu Chang had heard a lot about Ah Ye's childhood from his grandmother and Ah Ye's own mouths, and if he thought about it carefully, it was probably not difficult to guess. Hou Ye lost his beloved woman because of Ah Ye's birth, although he was a parent and child, he had no shortage of food and clothing, but he didn't care much, not to mention that Aunt Qi wished that he would die early and give way to his future child, coupled with the fact that the subordinates were yin and yang, causing Ah Ye to be weak and sensitive when he was young. When Ah Ye was four years old, Hou Ye was afraid that he would be alone, so he sent him to live in his grandparents' house, although he didn't want to face his face that looked more and more like Mrs. Hou Ye, but he didn't know that this would sow evil consequences, so that Ah Ye was unwilling to do so far, and he had thoroughly investigated for a long time, especially refusing to let go.
