There is a garden in the palace of the Marquis of Weiyuan, although it is not as big as the imperial garden in the palace, it is so beautiful, but it is Xu Zigui's favorite place to go in his spare time, there is a peach tree there, when Xu Zigui was a child, he liked to run around the peach tree in a circle, because at that time, the Qin family always liked to tease her, and told her sù: "Good boy, if you run around the peach tree, you will grow a year old, so you have to run a few more laps."

On this day, Xu Zigui deliberately got up early in the morning, had nothing to do, and then walked to the garden again, but at this moment it was the last winter, everything was depressed, except for the sweeping maid, there were not a few people, it seemed that he had lost some popularity, and he had lost the joy of the past, but it seemed a little deserted

"Gui'er," a man's deep voice remembered, Xu Zigui hurriedly turned around and grinned at the visitor

"It's rare to take a break, my brother is not in the courtyard to accompany his daughter-in-law, how can he have time to wander here?"

"Narrow ghost," Xu Ziyu glanced at Xu Zigui, with a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at the bare peach blossoms in front of him, his eyes were full of nostalgia, "I haven't seen you running around this tree for a long time"

Xu Zigui glanced at the peach tree, lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, I haven't run around it for a long time, maybe it's older, it's not like I was looking forward to growing up when I was young."

Xu Ziyu poked Xu Zigui's forehead and said with a smile: "But the eleven or twelve-year-old grade is like an old woman who has gone through vicissitudes."

"Brother is here to make fun of me today," Xu Zigui was angry, turned his face away, and pretended to be angry: "Brother is so bad, Gui'er don't pay attention to my brother"

"I just said that you are like an old woman, and this son is so childlike" Xu Ziyu shook his head helplessly, looked at Xu Zigui, and his expression suddenly became serious: "Gui'er, it's the New Year." I want to go to the frontier."

"Coincidentally," not like Xu Ziyu thought, when he heard that Xu Ziyu wanted to go to the frontier, Xu Zigui was not in a hurry, but looked like he had expected it a long time ago, looked at Xu Ziyu with a smile, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to him, "The prince just sent a letter from the frontier a few days ago. Brother might as well take a look."

"When was it delivered?" Xu Ziyu raised his eyebrows. looked at his sister with a little amusement in his eyes, "What is written, but you should carry it with you every day"

Xu Zigui ignored his brother's Noyu, and only raised his eyebrows to look at the letter in his brother's hand. said: "If you don't know what is written, my brother will know if you read it, as for why my sister brings it with me every day......" Xu Zigui's eyes also became treacherous, and he smiled like a cat that had stolen a fishy cat

"My brother was busy with government affairs outside, and when he returned home, he hid in his courtyard and refused to come out. My sister really couldn't find time to give it to her brother, so she had to take it with her every day. Thinking about trying my luck, when I meet my brother, I can give it to my brother."

Xu Ziyu blushed when Xu Zigui said it, and read the letter with some embarrassment. These days are just newlyweds, and the new daughter-in-law looks like flowers and jade, gentle and petty. The little couple was mixing oil in honey these days, and hurriedly saluted the elders after returning home. took the little daughter-in-law back to live in a two-person world in his own courtyard

"Is Big Brother still going to the frontier?" Seeing Xu Ziyu quickly browse the letter, Xu Zigui tilted his head mischievously and looked at the eldest brother: "If the eldest brother goes to the frontier, he will leave Gui'er to fight alone."

Seeing Xu Zigui's small appearance, Xu Ziyu couldn't help laughing, and nodded Xu Zigui's forehead, "Don't say that you are so pitiful"

Xu Zigui arched his nose at his brother, and said with a straight face: "Big brother, let's deal with the matter here, so that the prince has no worries, which can be regarded as a favor."

Xu Ziyu sighed and looked at the peach tree with a slight distraction. Seeing Xu Ziyu like this, Xu Zigui didn't bother again, a good man is determined to be in all directions, Xu Ziyu has followed Mo Ziyuan to fight and kill the enemy since he was a child, when he was young, he was afraid of being poisoned in the food, the two of them ate the food eaten by the slaves together, and grew up together in the open guns and dark arrows

Xu Zigui knew Xu Ziyu's thoughts, and Mo Ziyuan also knew it, so he wrote this letter and told Xu Ziyu that he needed him to stay in Beijing, and pull down the emerging two princes and one faction, as well as the four princes and one faction, and the emerging six princes and one faction for him, and let Xu Ziyu take care of his mother and his beloved in Beijing for him, so that he would not have worries in the frontier.

"It's Chinese New Year's Eve in a few days," Xu Ziyu suddenly sighed, Xu Zigui, turned around, and smiled faintly at Xu Ziyu: "There is a new person in the family this year, Ruo'er is back, the second uncle's family is also back, this year's Chinese New Year's Eve will definitely be very lively."

"With the second uncle's family here, liveliness is naturally indispensable" A hint of mockery flashed in Xu Ziyu's eyes, and he lowered his head to look at his toes, but Xu Zigui burst out laughing

"On the day my brother got married, the second aunt gave my brother such a big gift, and as a younger sister, I would have returned it for my brother a long time ago."

"Huh?" Xu Ziyu raised her eyebrows and looked at Xu Zigui, motioning for her to continue

Xu Zigui smiled and told Xu Ziyu what Riyuexi said to her, and said with a smile: "In those two days, my grandmother heard the wind outside, and knew that the accident on the wedding day of the eldest brother had something to do with the second aunt, but she also pretended to be confused once on the face of Sister Lin, everything is a lot, they have done a lot of things that affect the reputation of our Xu family, grandmother can forgive them once or twice, but she will not forgive them three or four times." ”

"So you're going to let Wei Fangniang come to the mansion on three Chinese New Year's Eve?"

"Let them come to my Hou Mansion, I still think they have dirty our one-third of an acre," Xu Zigui's eyes flashed with contempt, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneer: "Today, the three of them will go to cry outside the second uncle's mansion, and it is estimated that there will be news in the afternoon."

Xu Ziyu rubbed her sister's head and sighed slightly: "It's my brother who is not good, ordinary girls like you are still girls who only know how to play and frolic, but you have to worry about these intrigues every day, it's my brother who doesn't protect you."

"Brother," Xu Zigui didn't know why, tears suddenly poured out, like when he was a child, he threw himself into his brother's arms, rubbed his tears on his brother's clothes, and said sullenly: "It was after Gui'er was pushed by the second sister and injured that he understood that he could no longer be as carefree as before." Regardless of my brother's business, my brother is the best brother in this world"

Xu Ziyu did protect Xu Zigui very well, in her previous life, until she married Mo Qingyuan, she would not intrigue, until she married Mo Qingyuan, for the sake of Mo Qingyuan's great cause, she learned to intrigue. I learned those pickled things

"What are you crying about?" Xu Ziyu patted her sister's back and comforted with a smile: "If you cry again, you will become a little flower cat."

Xu Zigui calmed down, got out of Xu Ziyu's arms, and looked at Xu Ziyu's chest with a large wet patch. laughed: "It's over, my sister-in-law will be jealous and make trouble with my brother when she sees this tear on her brother's chest."

Xu Ziyu poked his sister's forehead and scolded with a smile, "Narrow ghost". smiled and said that he wanted to go back to change clothes, and Xu Zigui laughed and teased his brother a few words. was released and let Xu Ziyu go back to his own hospital

Xu Zigui stayed alone in the garden for a while before he got up and went back to Liuqing Courtyard. I saw Red Sleeves reprimanding a little girl, and the little girl pinched her waist and quarreled with Red Sleeves

"Don't think that if you are the right person next to the girl, you really regard yourself as the master!"

That little maid is the daughter of Xu Ziyun's grandmother Cui's mother. is called Yingge, and she is a third-class maid in Xu Zigui's courtyard. Because of the relationship between her, her mother, and her mother, Xu Zigui is not very important to Yingge, and she just keeps it in her own courtyard as an idler

Yingge relied on his mother's reasons and always regarded himself as half a master, but at this time, he was reprimanded by Red Sleeves in public, so he naturally couldn't wipe off his face and quarreled with Red Sleeves

"If you treat me like this, be careful that I sue my mother!"

Red sleeves sneered: "Your mother is just the second girl's nurse, in the end, she is just a subordinate"

Cui's mother was deeply reused by Xu Ziyun's side, the reward she got on weekdays and the gifts given by other people in the house when Xu Ziyun was powerful two years ago, Cui's mother's family was also fat, and she secretly learned from those big families at home to buy two little girls for Yingge to serve Yingge, Yingge was served as a young lady at home since she was a child, and the most unpleasant thing is that others say that she is a subordinate

At this time, Red Sleeves said this, and then raised his slap to greet Red Sleeves in the face, but was stopped by the moon next to Red Sleeves, Xu Zigui sneered at the right time

"Zidai, go and settle Yingge's monthly silver this month, and send her to Cui's mother, I can't afford to invite her here!"

"Girl," listening to Xu Zigui's voice, several maids who participated in the quarrel all knelt on the ground, and Yingge looked even more worried

Yingge has always served Xu Zigui from the beginning, Cui's mother told Yingge to serve Xu Zigui well, it is best to become Xu Zigui's henchman, Xu Ziyun has become more and more unfavored in the past two years, Aunt Liu has completely fallen out of favor since she shed the child in her belly, Xu Ziyun's mother and daughter are getting worse and worse in the Hou Mansion, but Xu Zigui's identity as a concubine has been rising, and at this time she can say it in front of the queen mother, if Yingge is reused by Xu Zigui, I am afraid that I will not be able to marry a good family in the future?

Cui's mother had already analyzed the pros and cons to Yingge, so at this time, Yingge heard that Xu Zigui was going to drive her away, so she hurriedly kowtowed and admitted her mistake: "The slave knows that she is wrong, the girl must not be a slave."

Xu Zigui sneered and shouted: "You have set up the master's score here with me, if I don't drive you away, won't you climb to the head of the county lord in the future!" ”

Yingge kowtowed, and said over and over again: "The slave doesn't dare", kowtow's forehead was red and swollen, although Cui's mother was Xu Ziyun's nurse, but she didn't do anything unfavorable to Xu Ziyun's Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Yingge except that the young lady was a little more tempered on weekdays, but she didn't make any mistakes, seeing Yingge's forehead red and swollen at this time, Xu Zigui was a little unbearable after all, and sighed slightly

"You get up first"

Although the days of serving Xu Zigui are not long, Yingge also knows that Xu Zigui is the most soft and not hard, at this time Xu Zigui asked her to get up, she didn't dare to kneel on the ground anymore, hurriedly got up from the ground, hung her head and stood in front of Xu Zigui, but Xu Zigui didn't look at her, but said to the others: "You all get up, it's none of your business, let's all disperse."

Only then did everyone get up and salute and retreat, leaving only Zidai and red sleeves, as well as Yingge, Xu Zigui waved to Zidai and said with a smile: "You go back to the house to rest first."

Zidai responded with a smile and retreated, Xu Zigui entered the main hall with red sleeves and Yingge, his eyes swept back and forth on the two of them a few times before he said lightly: "Say, why?" ”

"It's the slave's fault," Redsleeves knelt on the ground first, admitting his mistake. Yingge saw that Red Sleeves knelt down and admitted his mistake, and hurriedly knelt down and followed to admit his mistake

"Regardless of the matter of Sister Redsleeve, it's the slave's fault"

"You guys are united, it's not time to quarrel just now" Xu Zigui sneered, took a sip of tea, glanced at the red sleeves, and said sternly: "You are serving by my side, you know what I don't like the most"

"The slave knows the mistake" Red Sleeves kowtowed and said: "The girl hates the slaves and maids the most for lying and covering each other"

"It's good to know" Xu Zigui lightly put the teacup in his hand back on the small table, and the corners of his mouth kept hooking a sneer: "Knowingly committing a crime is not a smart person's practice, the person I hate the most is stupid"

was frightened into a cold sweat by Xu Zigui's smiling expression, fell to the ground, and told what had just happened

It turned out that Yingge saw that Xu Zigui had not reused her much in the past few days, so he had a lazy mind, it happened that these days were almost the New Year, and the Liuqing courtyard had been cleaning, and the red-sleeved people were even more busy, and some were too busy, and they happened to see Yingge who was busy stealing, so he told Yingge to clean up a few flowers in Liuqing Courtyard

But I didn't know that Yingge had pruned Xu Zigui's favorite camellia tree, and the red sleeves reprimanded Yingge a few words in a hurry

Speaking of which, the red sleeves didn't make a mistake, the quarrel to beat people and cut the bad flowers is Yingge alone, although Yingge thinks he is taller on weekdays, but he is still very "one person does things one person", and after the red sleeves finished the matter, he knelt on the ground and said

"It's all the slave's fault, no matter what happens to Sister Redsleeve, if the girl wants to punish the slave, punish the slave and the maid, just beg the girl not to be a slave."

Xu Zigui ignored Yingge's words, and asked Red Sleeves: "You didn't make a mistake, do you know why I want to punish you together?" I even punished you together, do you feel wronged? Can you be resentful? ”

Red Sleeves nodded, knowing that Xu Zigui didn't like others to lie to her, and she had served her for so many years, and it was clear to her that she was not wronged Xu Zigui, and the red sleeves who were really aggrieved at this time naturally didn't dare to say that she was not wronged, so she had to nod and said: "Although the slave is wronged, she also knows that the girl has her own ideas about doing this, and the slave and maid will naturally not resent it."

Xu Zigui nodded, what Red Sleeves said was that he would not resent rather than dare not resign, which showed that Red Sleeves really did not resent himself, Xu Zigui glanced at Red Sleeves with satisfaction, then looked at Yingge, sighed, and spoke softly (to be continued)
