Xia Xue'er looked at it and knew who this person was, Li Min, the eldest daughter of Lord Li Qingcang. The last time I saw it at the wedding banquet of the prince of Jian'an Houfu, there were a few words of conversation, and at that time, the unruly young lady Chu Yingwei made the atmosphere in the entire pavilion very embarrassing, and she also helped herself to relieve the siege.

She said that she had come here by accident, which was a bit far-fetched. Although the layout of the orchid garden does not follow the golden mean like the traditional courtyards in the north, even if it is casual, it has its own set of rules. Where is the inner courtyard area, where is the reception area, where is the garden, these are all fixed, and they are not scattered randomly like the stars in the sky. If she wants to walk to Xia Xue'er's small courtyard casually, the nearest road will have to pass by at least two other courtyards, and it is impossible for her to continue walking calmly after knowing that she has broken into the inner courtyard!

"Where is Miss Li talking about, you can find this fate, how dare you blame!"

Although she didn't know the purpose of her trip, Xia Xue'er was still polite, and when she came, she was a guest, so she should naturally pay tribute to the friendship of the landlord.

"Since Miss Li is here for this acacia flower, and there is also a stone table and stone bench under the tree, you can sit down and enjoy it."

Li Min looked in the direction of Xia Xue'er's fingers, suddenly smiled, and said with a slight blessing: "It's still the third lady who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Seeing this, Xia Xue'er also nodded and saluted back, and said, "You sit down first, and I'll go back to the house to change my clothes." Then he raised his voice and ordered, "Come on, make tea for Miss Li!" ”

In the house, Cuizhu has prepared the clothes to be changed, although she didn't see Sun Guifei herself, she also heard the maid say about it, so this dress that is close to the peony color Miss can no longer wear it, this colorful thousand color plum blossom gauze skirt is suitable, fortunately it was prepared before going out in case of emergency.

Cuizhu cleaned her hands and wiped the water droplets with a handkerchief, and then she stepped forward to serve the young lady and took off the moon skirt on her body, Xia Xue'er raised her arms flat, and let Cuizhu serve her to undress and dress, her thin lips opened lightly, but she asked without waves: "When did Miss Li come?" ”

"Half an hour ago, she stood under the acacia tree, and when the slave saw that her face was flushed, she took it upon herself to invite her into the house to hide."

Xia Xue'er nodded slightly and did not speak. Although it is already the end of summer, the sun is no longer scorching, but half an hour of sunbathing is enough to choke! The so-called nothing is not going to the Three Treasures Palace, in order to wait for herself, it may not be a good thing for her to be willing to endure hardships.

After getting ready, Xia Xue'er walked out of the house. Li Min was sitting at the stone table, taking a cup and taking a sip of tea, when she heard the sound of the door opening, she turned her head and saw that the person who came out was Xia Xue'er, so she put down the teacup and stood up, and when she saw Xia Xue'er sitting down, she sat down again.

"My mother loves acacia, and my father planted a lot of acacia trees in the house, so I grew up smelling the fragrance of acacia flowers, so I naturally have a different kind of affection for it. The acacia tree in your yard must be several years old, right? ”

"It's been more than 20 years since the garden was planted the year it was built, and it's older than me! It wasn't planted for me, but no one was willing to rob me. After Xia Xue'er finished speaking in a joking tone, she covered her mouth and laughed softly, and Li Min laughed too.

Lord Li's love for his wife is well-known in the capital. He studied hard when he was young, full of wealth, although he took the Jinshi fame, but because of his cloth background, no one recommended him, so he was not ambitious. After a few years of hard work, he can still only find a dispensable seven-grade sesame official, or he is sent abroad! By chance, when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, he got acquainted with a protégé of Zhongshu Ling Liu, and the protégé made a recommendation, Liu saw that he was knowledgeable, humble and courteous, so he also had his own eyes, and moved him back to the capital in less than a month, initially in Zhongshu Province, and then was appreciated by the emperor, he was transferred to the Ministry of Industry, promoted to a foreign officer, although it was a deputy position, he was also down-to-earth and willing to work, it is because he is both rich and rich and can serve the master wholeheartedly, which has become today's Shangshu Lord step by step, and the official residence is from a product. Today's Mrs. Shangshu is his wife, when she was depressed, she suffered a lot with him, and her body fell to the root of the disease, and she never got pregnant after giving birth to her youngest daughter Li Jie, but even so, she never heard him looking for flowers and willows outside, let alone marrying back to a concubine.

Li Qingcang's unswerving loyalty to his wife is a quality that countless women in ancient times and today envy. Xia Xue'er is naturally no exception. Therefore, she still has some good feelings for Li Min.

"Sister Ling is okay?"

Speaking of this, Li Min stood up and bowed to Xia Xue'er, and then said: "Xiaojie has been regarded as a palm treasure by her father and mother since she was a child, and she is somewhat spoiled. ”

Xia Xue'er smiled slightly, stretched out her hand to help Li Min, who was half-squatting, and said, "It's really her blessing to have a sister like you!" "She's not a wealthy lady with a lot of energy and nowhere to spend, where can she have the leisure to be angry for a little girl's look?

Cuizhu came over with the decoction and saw that Li Min had redone it, so he stepped forward and said to Xia Xue'er: "Miss, it's time for you to take the medicine." ”

The strong smell of Chinese medicine spread, Li Min couldn't help but raise his hand to block his nostrils with a handkerchief embroidered with small characters, and saw Xia Xue'er raise her head and drink it, rinsed her mouth again, and then said, "Is the third lady unwell?" I have a few good wild ginseng plants at home, I heard that it is the best to replenish the body, if the third lady does not dislike it, I will send it to the house another day. ”

As soon as Xia Xue'er heard this, she waved her hand and refused, "How can I spend your money?" Then he sighed again, and then continued: "I, after I came back from the Jian'an Hou Mansion, I have seen many doctors, and I have also taken this medicine for a long time, but I am always not good, and I am also sad!" ”

As soon as she said Jian'an Hou Mansion, Li Min knew what was going on, and she was at the scene when the accident happened. Xia Xue'er's fall can be said to have pushed the Guogong Mansion to the peak of public opinion, although the Jian'an Hou Mansion and the Wei Guogong Mansion both intended to cover up the matter, but in the end, they still didn't know who stabbed them out, and the city was full of turmoil.

So he also sighed, "I heard that after Miss Chu Liu returned to the house, Grandpa Guo was furious and sent her out of the city overnight, and I haven't seen her yet, and I don't know where she was sent?" (To be continued.) )
