By the time we arrived at the Grange, it was completely dark. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 The moist night breeze blew a gust of air, blowing some of the thick clouds in the night sky, revealing a small patch of clarity with a faint star shining.

The steward of the Grange was a woman of nearly forty years of age. This surprised me a bit.

After knowing my identity, she welcomed me in and introduced herself: "The slave is Xuan Niang, and the young lady can tell me if she has something." ”

She wore a silver-gray-green placket, white sleeves, her hair was curled into a bun at the back of her head, and a silver hairpin decorated with precious red beads was inserted horizontally.

As I walked, I said, "Clean up a side room and give it to this son, and then bring Fang Langzhong to him." Be quicker. ”

"Yes." She raised her eyelids and glanced at it, and said, "There is an empty wing room near here, first grieve this son, and then I will clean up a good wing room and come out." So saying, he turned sideways and showed us the way.

After entering the wing, several family members helped Liang Gongzi off the back of the coachman and lay face down.

A little maid handed me a hot towel to wipe my face and hands. After walking on the muddy mountain road for so long, I also knew that I must be embarrassed at the moment.

I took the towel and wiped it casually, and asked Guanniang: "Where is Langzhong?" Did you go and please? ”

"I've already asked people to invite it." She replied, "The upper room where the young lady lives has also been cleaned up, you can go over and rest first." ”

I glanced at Liang Gongzi, who was lying prone on the couch, and was a little hesitant in my heart.

Xuan Niang said again: "I have already arranged for someone to take care of the distinguished guest." ”

"Okay." I stood up and said, "Yueying will go with me, the coachman and a few other family members, Xuan Niang, you can watch and arrange it again." ”

Since Lang Zhong has been invited and the people who take care of him have been arranged, it will not be inconvenient for me to stay here any longer.

Guan Niang led the way and took me and Yueying to the back yard. Entering the house, a maid walked in with a cup of tea. Guan Niang took it, gave it to me, and said: "This is ginger tea, the young lady has been walking for a long time in the rain, drink a cup of ginger tea to dispel dampness." ”

Actually, I didn't tell her about this when I entered the door, but she must have seen it from our descriptions, so she made ginger tea.

I drank half a cup, handed the remaining half to Yueying, and said, "You can drink some too." ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Xuan Niang's expression, and she immediately regained her calm.

I'm going to be a little different when I wait for the moon, and I don't think there's a need to hide that. When others saw that I treated her well, they naturally didn't dare to snub her casually.

After Yue Ying drank the ginger tea, she handed the tea cup to the maid beside Guan Niang, and then gave a gift to Guan Niang. Although she didn't say anything to Xuan Niang, I think in Xuan Niang's opinion, Yueying's move is very polite and sensible.

"The hot water has been prepared, and there are newly made clothes here in the Grange for the young lady to change into, but they may not fit well." Xuan Niang said.

"It's fine." I pursed my lips and smiled, and then said, "Please prepare hot water and clean clothes for my maid so that she can freshen up too." ”

"This is natural, the maid is cleaned up, so that she can serve the young lady well, I will arrange it." Xuan Niang replied. Then he turned his head to the little maid standing beside her and said, "Hurry up and prepare according to the young lady's instructions." ”

"Yueying, you don't need to wait here, you go down with her, and come back when you're ready." I pointed to the little maid and Yue Yingdao.

Yue Yingfu bowed down.

Xuan Niang said: "The slave maid is here to serve the young lady to wash. Her tone grew more humble.

It is not necessary to serve, but there are some things that need to be explained to her.

"Qian Niang, please take a seat." I pointed to a chair and said to her.

She glanced at me and said, "Thank you, young lady." Then he sat down and didn't say much.

"Have you been taking care of the Grange all the time?" I asked.

"Yes."

"It's my first time coming to the Grange, and I'm not familiar with the affairs of the Grange, and I hope that Guan Niang can help me more." I smiled.

"This is where the slave and maid are duty, and the young lady is serious." She replied.

"We met bandits on the way here, and the carriage we were riding in was robbed by them, but fortunately we met the son, and if he hadn't rescued us, we would have been in danger." I started explaining it to her. There must be a reasonable reason why Liang Gongzi came to the Grange with me.

"That's the benefactor." Qian Niang said, "Don't worry, young lady, I will take good care of your guests." He looked at me again and asked, "Is the young lady injured?" ”

"It's not true, it's just that it hurts that son." I stood up and said, "Guanniang, you go down first, I don't need to be served by others when I wash, and I will call you again if necessary." ”

"Yes." She blessed and withdrew.

I went in for a while, and saw that hot water was already in the bathtub, clean clothes hung on the rosewood shelf next to it, and a pair of peach-colored embroidered shoes were placed next to it.

After washing his hair and body, changing his clothes, and twisting his hair half-dry, he was ready to go out to see how Liang Gongzi was doing.

As soon as I opened the door, Yueying came over and asked me in surprise, "Why is Zhu Niang so fast today?" ”

I usually take a long bath, but today is different, I just took a quick shower and came out of the tub.

Yueying walked up to me and touched my hair, and asked, "Don't you need to wipe it with a towel again?" On rainy days, I'm afraid it's not easy to dry. ”

I picked up a strand of her wet hair and laughed, "Isn't yours the same?" He said, "Let's go, let's go to Liang Gongzi's side and have a look." ”

Because I was not familiar with the yard, I had to find a maid on the road to take us over.

When he got there, Lang Zhong had just left, and a maid with long braids was taking care of him in the room. I asked the maid and knew that Fang Cai Langzhong had already applied medicine to Liang Gongzi, prescribed a few pairs of medicines, and took them to the stove room to decoction.

I asked the maid again, what did Lang Zhong say about Liang Gongzi's injury?

The maid replied that it was a flesh wound, and it would not be in the way if it was taken care of.

I breathed a sigh of relief and waved my hand to let the maid down.

The candles in the room flickered. Liang Gongzi was still lying prone on the couch, his blood-stained clothes had been changed, a thin quilt was on his back, and the injured part of his back was exposed, probably because he was afraid of covering the wound.

I leaned over to see his face, his lips were so dry that I turned my head and asked Yueying to pour a glass of water.

was about to speak, but found that Yueying's cheeks were flushed, and her expression showed a little twist and embarrassment.
