Yao Chi bright laurel fragrance,

Blue sky and blue color family reunion.

Early in the morning, the entire Anxin Hou Mansion was busy, and the people on the errand of Yonghe Courtyard went in and out for a while, and informed the ladies and aunts of each house and the ladies and ladies of each house to hold a banquet in the evening of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and they received a lot of rewards from the aunts and ladies of each room, and they smiled from ear to ear. As for the old marquis, the little marquis and the second master (Cui Shuxing, the younger brother of the little marquis), the eldest son (Cui Jinzhen, the son of the little marquis), what should the gentlemen do, go to the study room, go to the yamen, go to school, read and study, and just attend the family banquet in the evening.

Early in the morning, the little marquis went out on August 14, Yi Nacai, an alliance, and a sacrifice.

Today, Qian Yuning arrived at Luoyue Xuan when he was in Yin, and he also pulled the little marquis together, and when he arrived, he went directly to the door, no one dared to stop him, and Qian Yuning didn't have to stand outside the door and wait.

Cui Shuyan and Qian Yuning sat in the hall, when Shi Huiyun came out, Qian Yuning hurriedly went up to greet the salute, Cui Shuyan sat on the main seat with a big smile, Shi Huiyun went up to salute and said: "The concubine has seen the little marquis." ”

Cui Shuyan: "Well, get up." You've worked hard. "The couple hadn't spoken in months, and now they were strangers.

This time the tea was very smooth, Qian Yuning knelt in front of the two of them and served hot tea, Shi Huiyun also rewarded a string of red agate bead chains after drinking, there is a jasper jade Guanyin on the bead chain, very exquisite, Shi Huiyun said: "This string of red agate Guanyin is the **** master of Baoguo Temple has opened the light, the most suitable heir, Sister Yuning, you have a child, there is a good man, my sister will give you this string of beads, I hope you will add more heirs to our Hou Mansion, then it is really the blessing of the ancestors." ”

Qian Yuning kowtowed and thanked him: "Yuning, thank you for the reward." ”

Qian Yuning served tea to Cui Shuyan again, Cui Shuyan drank it with a smile, and stretched out his hand to pull her up: "Yuning, get up quickly, the ground is hard and cold." ”

Qian Yuning's pair of jade hands were held by the little marquis, still in front of Shi Huiyun, and he couldn't help but have a red glow on his face, glanced at him shyly, and obediently stood up with the little marquis's hand.

Shi Huiyun smiled brightly on the side: "Look at how much the little marquis loves you, Sister Yuning can be seen to be the most blessed of the sisters." ”

After drinking the tea, Qian Yuning officially entered the door, and the little marquis didn't want to stay in Luoyue Xuan for longer, so he pulled Qian Yuning and said that he wanted to move the place, and left. It turned out that today is also the day when Qian Yuning officially moved into Bicui Garden, the little marquis calculated well, moved to Bicui Garden on August 14, and celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

After seeing them holding hands and leaving, Shi Huiyun put away her smile, sat on the yellow rosewood chair on the right side of the main seat, and sat alone for a long time, without speaking or moving, just sitting like that, her out-of-focus eyes staring straight ahead, as if she had become a statue.

The little marquis said that he was going to move the yard, but in fact, he was holding a child with Qian Yuning on the side, and the things and furniture in the house were cleaned up by his own subordinates. At this end, in the Listening Rain Pavilion, Mama Liu and Mama Sun commanded everyone to move and lift, and at that end, in the Bicui Garden, Ying Fang presided over the subordinates to put the things that were carried in according to what she said, and put them in place. More than 20 people, at the end of the day, finally got seventy-seven, eighty-eight, large pieces of furniture, cabinets, tables, chairs and benches, all in order. Only some of the personal belongings of Qian Yuning, Xiao Hou Ye and the two children have not been folded and straightened out, because the clothes are too soft and too messy, and Grandma Liu and Grandma Sun have not sorted it out for a long time, so Ying Fang went up to help.

Mama Liu complained: "When I was in the other courtyard earlier, there were four girls, if people were here at this time, they would have done it a good job, especially Xiaoshuang, who would have done things well." ”

Mama Sun also echoed: "Exactly, the aunts in this Hou Mansion have two big maids, two mothers-in-law, two second-class maids and four rough maids, but none of our aunts have them, just a few of our mothers-in-law." ”

Ying Fang didn't speak on the side, she had some scheming in her heart, she was neither Qian Yuning's maid nor mother-in-law, her status was quite embarrassing, and she had followed Aunt Qian for so long, I am afraid that the Lin Mansion would have known about it a long time ago. She was worried about her daughter in the Lin Mansion, and remembered that she was still the slave of the Lin Mansion, and the body deed was firmly pinched in the hands of Mrs. Lin Mansion, when she thought of this, she felt as if she had been pinched by the neck, and she felt that she couldn't breathe.

Ying Fang thought about things and was obsessed, holding a rag in her hand and unconsciously wiping the table, suddenly "clang", a teacup fell to the ground and shattered, so shocked that everyone in the room looked at her.

Mama Liu walked over and asked with concern, "Ying Fang, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ying Fang shook her head, and a smile barely came out of her mouth: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just a little tired." ”

At night, when Qian Yuning was sleeping, Mama Liu quietly told her about it.

Probably because he just moved the yard, he was not very used to it, one night, Qian Yuning never really fell asleep, early in the morning, he got up as soon as the sky was bright, he had breakfast, the sky was already bright, and the weather was cool in the morning, not too hot, Qian Yuning pulled Grandma Liu, Grandma Sun and Ying Fang to take a good look at the green garden, and walked around.

The courtyard gate of Country Garden is open in the east, get up in the morning, the yard will sprinkle a clear sunshine, as soon as you enter the courtyard gate, you will see a row of triple courtyard houses, a row of houses facing the courtyard gate has three large rooms, the middle one is the master room, and the rooms on the left and right sides of the master room are for the children and two nurses. There are three rooms on the left side of the middle row of houses, which are used for the big maids who serve their masters close and the grandmothers who have good faces. On the right, there is a flower hall for entertaining guests and two rooms. There is a vacant space paved with bluestone slabs in front of the house, the children can run and play when they grow up, there are two small flower stands with large and small stones under the two walls of the yard gate in front of the open space, the flower platform on the left side of the door is climbing on the wall and grows into a piece, an osmanthus tree is planted in the flower stand on the right, it is August 15 today, the osmanthus blossoms are full of a tree, and the fragrance is overflowing.

Compared with the front yard, the backyard is much more lively, there are small streams dug out by artificiality, artificial small wooden bridges, artificial rockeries, and an artificial small lake, the water is not deep, only a little above the knees of people, the lake is planted with lotus, and some goldfish and small crucian carp are raised. In addition to these, it is all flowers, there are orchids, chrysanthemums, roses, irises, poppies, peonies, jasmine, narcissus, rhododendrons, peonies, camellias, plum blossoms, magnolias. Golden cinnamon, silver cinnamon. Probably because of the abundance of plants, there are many bees, dragonflies, birds and other small flying insects in the garden, which is very lively.

Women love flowers, as soon as Qian Yuning entered the backyard, she liked it as soon as she saw it, she said in surprise: "Mama Liu, look, there are so many beautiful flowers, it's like a fairyland on earth, it's so beautiful." ”

Mama Liu and Mama Sun nodded very happily, and Mama Sun said to her: "Auntie, I heard that where flowers bloom well, children grow up to be very smart, slaves and maids didn't believe it before, but now they have seen it in person, they only think it looks good and smells good, and the mood seems to be very good, probably this talk really works." The little boy and the little lady have grown up here, and they will definitely be smart and clever in the future. ”

Qian Yuning nodded yes, and in a blink of an eye, she saw Ying Fang who was following behind her with a lonely face, turned around and took her hand and said, "Ying Fang, let's go and sit in front." Qian Yuning saw a small pavilion in front of him, and there were stone tables and stone benches in the pavilion, so Ying Fang nodded obediently.

Qian Yuning said to Liu Sun and the two grandmothers: "The two grandmothers go to the front to see if the second son and the third girl are not used to being here, and if there is anything wrong." "The two grandmothers should be, go.

After the two grandmothers were separated, Qian Yuning pulled Ying Fang to sit down: "Ying Fang, are you worried about the Lin family." ”

Ying Fang's eyes were full of tears, ticking down, she knelt on the ground all of a sudden, grabbed Qian Yuning's hand tightly and said: "Auntie, I don't know what to do now, I feel so conflicted, I want to serve my aunt well, and I am worried about my daughter in the Lin Mansion every day and night." Pity her is only seven years old, I have left her since five years ago, and I don't know if she is doing well or badly, but I am in a Buddhist temple, even if Mrs. Lin treats her meanly, it will not be too much, and now I have come down the mountain with my aunt, I am afraid that Mrs. Lin Fuzhong has already known, I am afraid that she is not good for my daughter, so I am worried day and night. ”

Qian Yuning looked at her crying and weeping eyes, and remembered Ying Fang's surrender in the temple on the mountain, and later followed her all the way down the mountain to do her best, loyal, and couldn't bear her to be like this, so he held her hand and took her up and sat down, and said: "I know your thoughts, I won't tell you, I am also a person who has been separated from my biological daughter for a long time. Ying Fang, you tell me honestly, do you still want to go back to the Lin Mansion, if so, I will let you go back, and I will never force you to stay by your side. ”

Ying Fang raised the tear stains on her face and said, "No, auntie, I won't go back, the Lin Mansion treats me like a pig like a dog, and discard it at will, what else will I do when I go back?" I just want my daughter to live well, she is a young lady in the Lin Mansion, but her life is worried, but if she follows me, a useless mother, although her life is fine, she has become a slave in her identity, and she will be an inferior person all her life, how will she marry in the future! Therefore the slave and maid are troubled day and night, and have no peace. ”

Qian Yuning: "Ying Fang, have you heard that I am going to choose a big girl?" "Earlier, because Qian Yuning was inexplicably brought to Qingyin Temple, the four maids who followed all the way from Jiangning were also dealt with by Mrs. Hou, and asked Mama Xu to sell them, and I don't know where they were sold. After I went to see Mrs. Hou Ye a few days ago, the little Hou Ye said that she would ask the wooden housekeeper to bring a few girls to let her choose, but she said that she didn't want to use the house, so she wanted to buy it from outside, and the little Hou Ye spoiled her, so she naturally agreed.

Originally, Qian Yuning was thinking in her heart, Liu Sun and the two grandmothers were in charge of the affairs of the yard, and Ying Fang was close to her, so if she was allowed to be her own big maid, and then select five people from the newly bought people, and keep a good one to be promoted to be a big maid with Ying Fang, and then choose two second-class maids and two third-class rough maids.

But after Mama Liu told her last night that something was wrong with Ying Fang, when she went to bed at night, she wondered if Ying Fang was unwilling to serve herself, after all, she had also been an aunt in the past, and she was served by a maid and a maid, how could she really be willing to be a maid? Moreover, the deed of sale of Liu Sun's two grandmothers is in her own hands, so she is naturally loyal to herself, Ying Fang is not her person now, her identity is still a domestic slave in the Lin Mansion, and the deed is also in the hands of Mrs. Lin Mansion, and her daughter is in the Lin Mansion, she, for the sake of herself and her own daughter, may not be loyal to herself. However, looking back, I remembered that Ying Fang had never given up since she surrendered herself in the temple, accompanied herself through many difficulties, and served herself wholeheartedly, thinking that she was also a loving and righteous person, besides, she was also worried about her daughter, like herself, was a hard-working woman.

After thinking about it, after thinking about it, Qian Yuning had no idea in his heart. Besides, seeing Ying Fang's sad appearance now, Qian Yuning also remembered her Niuniu, today is the day of reunion, but her Niuniu still has no news, it has been more than a year since the mother and daughter parted, and I don't know how her Niuniu is doing now, whether she can eat and dress warmly!

Thinking of this, Qian Yuning's expression darkened and he also became depressed. Ying Fang stepped forward and squatted down and took her hand and said, "Auntie, don't worry, I will always serve you, but I can't rest assured that my daughter wants to go back to the Lin Mansion to take a look." As long as she's okay, I don't have anything to worry about. ”

Qian Yuning: "Okay, I'll talk to the little marquis tonight, and let the iron head escort you." ”

Ying Fang nodded silently.
