The front yard was lit with lights, as bright as day, and there were three tables around the lively circle, men and women were separated, and the master and servant were separated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Moyu walked over and naturally sat at the main table, with Yunshang and Xiangrong and Steward Ji who had just gone up the mountain.

When everyone saw Moyu coming, they all stood up, and when Moyu sat down, they all sat down again. There was no word during the period, and everyone is used to such occasions, anyway, there are not so many rules in this garden.

Xiang Rong was the happiest, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, everyone raise a glass, toast our young lady, thank you for her peach blossom wine." ”

So everyone raised their glasses and said auspicious words, just like the New Year. Mo Yu smiled: "Thank you, everyone understands the rules of returning to the garden, so I don't need to say more, how happy to play!" However, don't go to the wrong room if you're drunk, especially if you are a man, you can't go to a woman's room. ”

"Hahaha......" A burst of laughter came, although this young lady usually doesn't talk much, but she is humorous. There are not only small maids and maids in the garden, but the rooms of men and women are not together, and the men's and women's rooms are not together, and the men's row and the women's row. The women's yard, the men's can only stop.

After Moyu's order was issued, everyone should eat vegetables, drink wine, guess boxing, and play games. These people are isolated here, there is no entertainment, finally have a chance, of course, it is open to play, and there are no rules in this garden, even if they get drunk tonight and get up again tomorrow at noon, it will be fine, because their young lady is a good-natured master.

Looking at the peach blossom wine in the cup, it is crystal clear, the first glass of peach blossom wine just made this year. If you put it under your nose and smell it gently, you can also smell the fresh fragrance of peach blossoms. Mo Yu's head tilted slightly, the wine poured down, and when it touched the root of the tongue, the smell of wine that circled in the mouth was firmly stuck in the throat, unable to spit out and swallowed, and the bitter taste spread, reaching the dantian.

This wine shouldn't have a bitter taste, so why is it different this time?

There were already people in the courtyard who were pointing their fingers, someone was already serving the table with a wine jug, and a group of little girls were clapping and laughing. Some people are still sober and sit on the side as judges, Yunshang and Xiangrong are also eager to try, and they also joined the battle after getting Moyu's permission, completely unaware that their carefree days are coming to an end. But maybe it's the best thing for them to be able to leave here, everyone's thoughts are different.

On a March night, there are no stars, no moonlight, no summer insects, only the occasional wind blowing leaves. With a wine jug in one hand and a wine glass in the other, Mo Yu came to the viewing pavilion far away from the front yard. Although it was night, the observation pavilion was also hung up and lit, and it flickered in the lampshade. Moyu lay on her side on the recliner, blowing the evening breeze, drinking alone.

"Although it is spring, this place is located on the top of the mountain, and the night in the mountain is cool, so the eldest lady still has to pay attention to it and be careful of the wind cold."

Mo Yu turned around, and Steward Ji was already standing behind her somewhere, and she didn't know how long she had been here. Mo Yu gestured to the position next to him, "Sit down!" ”

"Thank you, Miss." The housekeeper sat down according to his words, looked at the wine jug on the table, and said, "The old slave should have a drink with the eldest lady!" After speaking, he didn't know where to pull out a wine glass, poured it full, poured another glass for Moyu, and then raised his glass and looked at her kindly. Seeing that he was so solemn, Mo Yu also raised his glass and stepped forward, and the two cups touched each other in the air, then withdrew and drank it all.

The sweet sake with a slight cold air flow down the throat can be felt everywhere it flows. Moyu's smile banquet, like the spring breeze of this season, is intoxicating. The housekeeper looked at the lazy little woman in front of him, every time he saw her, she could bring him different surprises, tenacious, stubborn, intelligent, and unearthly, it seemed that in her, the advantages of all the ladies in the capital were concentrated in this woman, are these really innate? Even if she was born in Beiwu Street, even if she lives in this deep mountain, she can't erase her noble blood and unique temperament.

When the housekeeper looked at Moyu, Moyu was also looking at the housekeeper. He was old, with a lot of gray hair on his head and deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes compared to ten years ago. When I first met him ten years ago, he was just a talented man who had just passed his prime, but now, the competition for right and wrong in the wealthy family made him look older than people of the same age. I don't know what her father has become, and to be honest, she doesn't remember what her father looked like.

Mo Yu sighed: You are getting old. ”

The housekeeper retracted his gaze, a trace of sadness passed in his eyes, and smiled helplessly: "Yes, time flies so fast, the old slaves are old, but the eldest lady has grown up, I think when I first met the eldest lady, you were still a child, just arrived at the waist of the old slave, but now, you look so slim, if the old man sees it, he must be very pleased." ”

That's ironic. Mo Yu lay down with her back against the couch and looked at the wick that flickered under the eaves of the pavilion. Gratified? If she can't bring him glory and strengthen his position, if she looks pockmarked or grows into a barrel, see if he will be pleased. The reason why he thought of letting her enter the palace was probably because the housekeeper had already found someone to draw her portrait! If she was extremely ugly, they would rather recognize a stranger as a righteous daughter than find her.

What exactly are they planning, will this steward know, even if he knows whether he will say?

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the fire candle in the lampshade bent very low, and the fire slowly became smaller, just when Moyu thought it would be extinguished, the wind stopped, and the fire candle that was about to be extinguished instantly regained its vigorous vitality.

"The years are like learning, and when you close your eyes and open your eyes, ten years have passed in a hurry. The country has changed hands, the dynasty has changed, the world has been disturbed, and things are wrong. It's not as calm, happy, and free as this deep mountain. Moyu was moved.

The housekeeper was a little embarrassed, "The eldest lady has such a heart, and there are not many people who have time to do it." However, although this mountain is good, it is not your home. The eldest lady has also reached the age when it is time to talk about marriage, which is the happiness of the eldest lady. ”

Cut, she is already past the age of talking about marriage, in Yetian's words, she can be the mother of two children at her age. What kind of sycophant is this housekeeper shooting? Mo Yu rolled her eyes and said, "You better tell me about Ji Fu!" ”

Since you can't escape it, you have to understand it before you go back. The butler happily put down his glass, he had come to Moyu to tell her about it.

"The master is now a Chinese scholar, the eldest young master Boyuan is now in the Ministry of Rites, two years ago he has married Liu Taiwei's granddaughter Liu Yeqing as a young grandmother in the long room, the second young master Zhongting is still preparing for the big exam, the second lady is now a famous talented woman in the capital, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the queen mother often praises her ingenuity! After you came here, the lord took two more concubines, and three years ago added a third lady, and the lord named Ji Pearl. ”

Ji Pearl, what a name, an old girl, must be his pearl in the palm of his hand! The women of the Ji family are all named after jade, for example, her name is Ji Moyu, the second miss Ji Jade, and the third miss Ji Pearl. The men are ranked in order, such as the eldest son Ji Boyuan and the second son Ji Zhongting. Then what would be the name of another son, Ji Ji?

Seeing that Moyu had her eyes closed, the housekeeper thought she was asleep, and just wanted to wake her up, when she heard Moyu say quietly: "Go on." Only then did she realize that she was just squinting.

"The eldest lady and the second lady still live in the original Xilan Garden and Cuijing Garden, after the eldest young master got married, the courtyard was changed to Qinse Garden, and the second young master and the second young lady lived in Jingxuan and Yiyuan respectively, as for the place where the eldest lady lived, the master arranged it in Mo Lanxuan, and cleaned it from time to time. The two concubines of the old man, Feng, that is, the mother of the third lady, lived in Yixin Pavilion, and Ma lived in Cuiliu Pavilion. ”

The Kifu is built facing south, and the layout of each house is also very clear. On the central axis, starting from the gate, first the living room, then the garden, and then the backyard, that is, Master Ji, the big house, including the eldest lady, the eldest young master, the second lady, the three main houses and the place where they live; The east side is the two-bedroom and three-room bedroom, the second young master, the northwest side lives the two-room concubine of Master Ji after I left, and the west side is where the people live, and the place where she lives is the northeast side of the main house.

Mo Yu thinks it's funny, her feelings are more important than the second young master in the second room! Before, she lived a long distance behind the main house, because there were plum blossoms planted in the courtyard, so it was called the plum garden. When she first arrived in Ji's mansion, Master Ji didn't like others to know about her existence, so he arranged for her to live so far away, originally wanting to move her out of there, but later because she came to this garden, she couldn't do it. Now that she has moved her residence from such a distant place to the closest place to him, it shows her "importance".

She is so important, of course, she is used as the most important pawn in their conspiracy. Mo Yu opened her eyes and saw that the housekeeper was looking at her, so she smiled, and there was no more noisy sound in her ears. You can imagine the scene of a crooked piece in the front yard, and my heart is a little bitter, such a day, such a scene, this peach blossom wine, this peach blossom rouge, I am afraid that in the future, there will be no more!

After a long silence, the housekeeper was a little cramped, and he couldn't figure out the eldest lady's thoughts, so he casually found a topic. "Actually, the master is still very concerned about the eldest lady, every time the old slave goes up the mountain, he is told not to leave anything behind. After the old slave went back, he asked the eldest lady if she was staying here. ”

Mo Yu lay motionless on the couch, if she really cared about her so much, how could she be allowed to ignore her here. But every time she asked for something, such as a book, a piano, etc., he agreed and sent it quickly, and I don't know whether her father remembered it, or the housekeeper remembered it, or the mistress of the Naji family.

"You don't have to tell me this, I'm not an isolated person, and I know a little bit about some things." If this kind of thing is not true, it will be more uncomfortable and disgusting to hear. Mo Yu didn't catch the butler's words, but asked separately: "Tell me what is the relationship between the big clans in the capital!" ”

Since you have to go back and enter the palace as a last resort, some relationships still have to be clear repeatedly, so as not to suffer too many unnecessary losses when you get it.

The housekeeper was shocked, but he didn't expect that this eldest lady didn't ask about some interesting stories about her children, nor did she ask about the well-being of her family, let alone what happened after she returned home, and when she asked about the relationship between the Tokyo family, it was really amazing! Butler: "This...... This...... This ......" for a long time, and I couldn't speak.

Mo Yu turned his head to look at him, and saw that the look of surprise on his face had not subsided, and the sarcasm in his eyes was revealed. "Don't tell me you don't know, if you didn't, you wouldn't be alive now."

In fact, she also knows a little about the relationship between the families in the capital, and she doesn't really ignore what is going on outside the window, even if he doesn't want to know, Yetian will tell her. It's just that there are some details, some obscure things, she really doesn't know.

"You don't know, you don't want to say it, or you can't say it." Mo Yu continued to urge.

"Miss, when the old slave came out, Madame only asked me to say what I just said, as for the rest, Madame didn't explain, and the master didn't explain either."

"If you don't tell me even the most basic information, aren't you afraid that I will ruin your business?"

Mo Yu said lightly, but the butler couldn't help but tremble his legs, and his left hand tightly grasped the edge of the stone table, as if the next moment, the marble stone table would be broken by him.

After a long time, the butler calmed down and gradually let go of his hand grasping the stone table, and his thoughts gradually became clearer. She may just be talking casually, there is no need to mess around and be taken into play by her. So he got up, bowed down and said, "It's more exposed, the eldest lady should go back to the room to rest!" ”

Looking at the housekeeper who was bowing down in front of him, Mo Yu was very unsure of what to say. This housekeeper is also a good person, just say it, if you can't say it, you will drive people away, it seems that if she doesn't leave this viewing pavilion, he will stay here all the time. Looking at her all the time, I'm afraid that she won't be able to run, besides, can she run?

After straightening his clothes, Mo Yu got up and walked out of the viewing pavilion, and when he passed by the housekeeper, he smiled and said, "I remember that the housekeeper Ji has a son, and if you think about it, you will have twenty this year!" ”

"Yes, the dog happens to be weak this year." Steward Ji didn't raise his head, looked at the ground and replied.

"Presumably, after your training, you can already stand alone! The greatest luck in life is to have a wife and children, fame and fortune, and Ji Da is really blessed. ”

"Don't dare, this is all TOEFL and the master, and the lady trusts." When a man reaches his age and status, he has nothing to ask for.

"Oh, then you say, if I can have such a capable and loyal slave in the palace, will I be more handy in doing things and get twice the result with half the effort!"

Ignoring the stunned figure behind him, Mo Yu walked straight to the master bedroom. Since he was a shrewd minion, wouldn't her master be a mismatch if she was too stupid.

Entering the palace, isn't that just to let his son be a eunuch? Isn't that the queen of his death?

The butler remained motionless until someone called him behind him. He suddenly realized that he didn't know this eldest lady at all, and he had the impression that she was a light-hearted woman, living in this isolated world, carefree, and she was not contaminated with the world, because the worldly disturbances would pollute the noble heart of the woman in front of her. But just now, he saw the little girl ten years ago, such a stubborn character, that angry eyes, her courage, her wisdom, she was living in a world of deceitful interests, and under her light smile, there was an extremely sharp spike, which took his life and stopped him from dying at the moment when he shook his mind.
