The night has not yet ended, but the Remnant Lotus Pavilion is already brightly lit. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When I go out at this point, I still go to such a far place, there are too many things to prepare, the time is very tight, and the maid is very busy going in and out.

A woman in her early forties wearing a red gown hurriedly came towards the Remnant Lotus Pavilion, followed by two little maids, each carrying a large food box.

"Mother He, you're here!" The little maids in the Remnant Lotus Pavilion greeted her when they saw her.

Mother He nodded at them with a smile on her face: "Madame instructed the kitchen to make some food for Miss." As he spoke, he pointed to the two food boxes and led the maid behind him into the house.

Sheng Fang and Yuan Fang were counting the items used on the road in the hall, and Mother He stepped forward and said, "Two girls, are you busy?" ”

"Oh, Mother He, what's wrong?" Sheng Fang was surprised, and suddenly realized when she saw the food box in the little girl's hand, "Yo, you just let the people below send it, now the kitchen is busy, how do you get out?" As he spoke, he instructed the little maid to put the food box on the table.

It's dinner time, and Mama Ho is the mother in charge of the kitchen, so it's time to be busy.

"Madame asked me to prepare food for Miss, I thought that Miss was sick and had a bad appetite, so I made a few things that Miss usually likes to eat and sent them, if Miss looks bad, I will go back and make it again." Mother He had a humble smile on her face, "I don't know if Miss is free, I just happened to ask Miss for peace." ”

Sheng Fang was about to say that the young lady was resting, but Yuan Fang had already smiled and said, "Mom, wait a minute, I'll go and help you out." ”

"Thank you, girl."

Yuanfang turned around and went in, and Shengfang moved a brocade for He's mother: "Mom, sit down." ”

"Thank you, Miss Shengfang, I'll leave after I say goodbye to Miss, or I won't sit down."

Shengfang didn't force her either.

After a while, Yuanfang came out and said to He's mother, "Miss, please come in and talk." ”

Mother He hurriedly straightened the placket of her clothes, which was already very neat, and followed Yuan Fang into Li Guan's bedroom with low eyebrows.

Li Guan was wearing a plain jacket and sitting in front of the dresser, and Xun Fang was combing her hair.

"Slave maid to Miss Greetings." Mother He respectfully kowtowed to Li Guan, "The slave maid has made a few soft and easy-to-melt pastries, and they have been handed over to Miss Shengfang, if the young lady has no appetite, she should eat as much as she wants, so as not to starve her body." ”

"Mom bothered, please get up." Li Guan glanced at her from the mirror, "Pick Fang, move a stool for your mother." ”

Hearing this, Chu Fang moved a brocade pestle and placed it behind her.

"Slaves and maids ...... when they stand"

"Miss sincerely let you sit, Mom will sit!" Before she could finish her sentence, she pressed her shoulder and asked her to sit down.

Mother He still wanted to excuse herself, but Li Guan had already said: "Mom deliberately went on a trip to tell me something?" ”

She had to sit on the brocade with a little apprehension, and said respectfully: "Yes." Earlier, Lixiang from my aunt's house came to me and said that she thought the shrimp dumplings I sent in the morning were very delicious and wanted to ask me for the filling recipe. I said it again, she didn't remember it, so she took pen and ink to write it, and asked me about the Lotus Pavilion in a roundabout way......"

Mother He told Li Guan about the situation at that time in 1510.

"Well done." Li Guan's hair had already been half-pulled up by Xun Fang with a hosta, she turned around and said lightly, "If someone comes to you to ask in the future, just tell them so." ”

After receiving Li Guan's praise, Mother He's face showed restrained joy.

"That's ...... lady's"

"There is no need to alarm my mother for such a trivial matter."

"Yes, slave maid understands."

Waiting for Mother He to leave, Fang Fang said: "Miss, why don't you let Mother He tell Mrs. about the matter, if Mrs. comes forward, won't this kind of thing seem more credible?" ”

"You don't understand......" Li Guan sighed softly.

I don't understand? Chu Fang frowned suspiciously, saw that Xun Fang went out with Li Guan's change of clothes, and hurriedly followed her.

"Eh, what do you mean by Miss?"

Xun Fang glanced at her, and there was a little emotion on her face: "Madam, she ...... I feel so sorry for Miss. Seeing that Shengfang and Yuanfang also looked at each other curiously, she simply sat on the chair and said to Xuanfang, "Do you remember what happened when Miss first went to Wu'anbo's Mansion?" ”

Chu Fang thought for a while and nodded: "Remember." At that time, we just came to the capital not long ago, it was early winter, the weather was not cold, but the young lady was weak so she had already used the hand stove, after we arrived at the Bofu, the hand stove was already a little cold, I asked the maid on the tea to help add some carbon, who knew that the maid glanced at me, lukewarmly said, 'The sky is still warm, the house is not burning charcoal'. The lady happened to accompany the old lady out of the inner room, and when she heard this, in front of the old lady and the eldest lady, she picked up the teacup on the table and threw it in the girl's face......

"That's right." Xun Fang said, "Madame felt that the people in Bofu were slow to treat Miss, so she immediately took Miss back to the house, and she didn't set foot on the door of Wu'an Bo's Mansion for two months, and she didn't even allow the little master to go over to play." ”

She sighed, and continued: "Madame is reluctant to be wronged by Miss, knowing that Miss should be low-key and forbearing, but she always can't help but care about other people's attitude towards Miss, which greatly exceeds the mother-in-law's concern for a picked up concubine......"

"So Miss doesn't want Mrs. to know, because I'm afraid that Mrs. will feel uncomfortable when she finds out!" It dawned on her.

In the bedroom, Li Guan was also thinking about today's events.

Mother is always worried that she will be disturbed by the past and have a bad life, in fact, how can her mother herself come out of the past, otherwise why don't she understand that she is just a concubine, at least in the eyes of outsiders. Mother's mother's heart, she had to live up.

Li Guan felt a little sad.

Today, she deliberately asked Mrs. Li to go to Dakong Temple in front of Mrs. Chen. She did want to go to Dakong Temple, but her original plan was to go back when she got better, but when she saw Mrs. Li shushing in front of Mrs. Chen, she changed her mind, because in the eyes of outsiders, Mrs. Li's performance was too abnormal. Li Wan is not at ease, she is afraid that Mrs. Chen will be suspicious, although this suspicion is not obvious, but the spark can start a prairie fire, and the embankment of a thousand miles will be destroyed in the anthill, and a small indifference is likely to make her doomed in the future.

Li Guan will never allow this possibility to exist. So she deliberately added a fire to Mrs. Chen's suspicions, let it burn in advance, and then completely doused it with a basin of water. It's the same as when she tried to get Li Zhiwei under Qu Fu to divert the attention of Wu Anbo's mansion.

Even insisted on moving to Kwai Yuan at the beginning, in addition to acting for convenience, Mrs. Li's attitude was also one of the reasons.

Originally, she pretended to be a low-key concubine with a humble status, and she could also do it if she stayed in the Li Mansion. But Mrs. Li's attitude will always expose Li Guan to the eyes of everyone, and she has no choice but to move to another courtyard, reducing the opportunity for Mrs. Li to pay attention to her, and giving everyone the illusion that the Li family does not value her.

Youzheng, Li Guan said goodbye to Mrs. Li, and took a carriage to Dakong Temple surrounded by more than a dozen guards.

Not long after leaving the capital, it was dark. The group hurried non-stop, without resting on the road, and finally arrived at the Great Empty Temple at the end of the day.

The mountain gate was closed before dark, but Qing Yan had sent someone to inform them quickly, and when they arrived, several monks were waiting at the door with torches, and when they saw Li Guan's carriage, they quickly opened the gate to let them in.

Hewang helped Li Guan get out of the carriage, Xun Fang and a few followed silently, and the monk led them to the wing room in the backyard of the temple, and after a while, two small novices carried a large bucket of hot water.

Xun Fang thanked him in a low voice, and after they left, he and Zhu Fang served Li Guan to freshen up.

It was late at night, and the mountains were quiet, with the occasional sound of insects chirping.

Li Guan was extremely tired from riding in the carriage, and fell asleep not long after lying down. Crane Wang came in and dimmed the candlelight, tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and retreated lightly.

"You're tired too, rest tonight, and talk about it tomorrow."

Xun Fang and a few people went to the side room to rest.

Li Guan slept lightly because of something in his heart, and woke up as soon as it was dawn.

The location of these wings where they live is very remote, behind the house is the mountain behind the dense forest, and the cliff is Baizhang Cliff outside the window.

Li Guan got up from the bed in his cloak and pushed open the window to look out.

In the early morning in the mountains, the fog is extremely heavy, the distant mountains are misty, and the vague outlines are faintly visible, like the legendary fairy land of mysterious tranquility. She lay on the windowsill and looked down, it was white, and a light mist floated up from the bottom of the cliff, like a young girl spitting smoke with her mouth wide open.

Somehow, Li Guan was amused by his own unrelated thoughts, and laughed softly.

Hewang heard the movement and pushed the door in, and what he saw was Li Guan's light smiling face.

Dakong Temple is really a good place to forget your troubles, and after the young lady came, she was in a much better mood, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and her mood was brighter.

"Miss woke up, she was so tired from the road yesterday, why didn't she sleep more?"

Li Guan smiled at her and did not answer. Hewang didn't care, and took a cloak to put on her.

"It's rare to get up so early, let's go out for a walk." Li Guan said with interest.

Naturally, Hewang would not sweep away her good mood and gladly responded. After leaving a note for Xunfang and the others, the two went out of the yard together.

It's quiet in the mountains, the air is very fresh, with a hint of chill, and the smell is refreshing. Li Wan and Hewang talked without a match, and slowly climbed up the back mountain. There is a thin layer of moss growing on the stone steps, and it can be seen that no one has visited for a long time.

Li Guan was suddenly childlike, jumping and walking like a rabbit, Hewang was afraid that she would slip, so he opened his arms to protect her behind her, Li Guan giggled happily.

The two of them walked for a long time, and when they were still a little distance from the top of the mountain, it was dawn. Sunlight shines through the morning mist, through the cracks in the trees, and shines like gold.

Li Guan turned his face back and closed his eyes, feeling the fine sunlight shining on his face, and there was a kind of intoxicating warmth.

Hewang stood under the tree in the distance, stunned by the quiet smile on her face, and did not take a step for a long time.

In the silence, a faint sound of music was heard, scattered in the forest.

When Crane looked at it, it seemed to be the sound of a flute. Li Wan doesn't like music, but he likes to blow the flute, so several of them who serve in close service are very familiar with the sound of the flute.

Li Wan opened her eyes and slowly turned her head to look in the direction where the music came from, she frowned suspiciously.

This tune......

She couldn't help but move her steps.

What happened at that moment was infinitely magnified in Hewang's eyes, and before she could come back to her senses, she suddenly saw Li Guan rushing to the top of the mountain like crazy.
