After a while, Qiaozhi opened the curtain and let Shao Ying walk in. Cao's mother followed behind, holding a long sword tightly in her arms. Song Yan felt strange in his heart, and when he saw Shao Ying hanging his head dejectedly, he first beckoned him to his side, and then said to Yuhua, "Pour a glass of pear water for the prince and put more honey." ”

After she said this, she felt Shao Ying's body in her arms soften, and the corner of Songyan's mouth hooked up a small smile, and asked him softly, "What's wrong?" ”

Shao Ying sat on the Luohan bed, holding Songyan's hand and was about to speak, when Cao's mother suddenly said, "It's the maid who accidentally ......."

Song Yan looked at Shao Ying, who had closed her mouth obediently, and directly interrupted Cao's mother's words, and asked him, "Shizi, did you break something?" ”

Shao Ying nodded frustratedly, and Mother Cao raised the long sword in her arms with a smile and said, "When you come, the prince must take it himself, and when he walked to the corridor, he knocked down a pot of jasmine on the railing." ”

Song Yan was slightly angry in his heart, because Shao Ying was present, it was not easy to attack, so he only said, "Have you been touched by the fragments of the flower pot?" Don't be afraid, just let the little maid clean up the pieces. ”

Qiaozhi hurriedly said, "It's already cleaned up." ”

Songyan nodded, Shao Ying still couldn't lift her spirits, lying in Songyan's arms, very guilty. Yuhua brought the honey pear water, and Cao's mother, who had never received a straight eye from Songyan, stood crampedly towards the wall. Songyan naturally filled the pear water with a spoon and held the handkerchief to Shao Ying's mouth, while coaxing him and said, "Mother is thinking about the monotony in the room, now it's okay." Yuhua, I remember that there were a few blackened lacquer plates in the storeroom, and I brought them to fill them with water, and cut the jasmine branches, and raised them and put them in the house. ”

Yuhua hurriedly went, took the little maid back more than ten kinds of lacquer plates, Songyan picked a peony pattern, Yuhua poured water, and the little maid had already removed the branches, and the three jasmine flowers that were still intact were carefully held in and put into the lacquer plate.

In the lacquer plate with a black background, Qing Shui was holding the snow-white jasmine, and Songyan hugged Shao Ying to let him see, and said, "Look, it can be regarded as a natural carving." ”

Shao Ying finally showed a relieved smile on her face, looked up at Songyan, and said, "Mother, this was originally about Furong, isn't it?" ”

Songyan happily touched his forehead and said, "Yes, Ying'er already knows this poem, wait until the Hou Ye comes, recite it to him, okay?" ”

Shao Ying hesitated for a moment, and whispered with some fear, "Don't let my father know that I broke my mother's flower." ”

Song Yan was stunned, raised his head and saw that the people around him mentioned Shao Ding, and they were all very afraid of shrinking, and they were about to talk to Shao Ying, when suddenly there was a familiar sound in the courtyard. Cao's mother said distressedly, "Ouch, who is this who is so short-sighted, and I am afraid that the other pot of jasmine will not be kept!" No need to say anything more, Qiaozhi hurriedly went out again. After a while, she lifted the curtain with a strange expression, and said in a serious manner, "Madam, Master Hou is here." ”

The people in the room all stood on both sides in a bit of a panic, lest they block the way of the Hou Ye. Songyan also got down from the Luohan bed and led Shao Ying to greet him. Shao Ding put his hands behind his back, more straight than usual, walked in without a smile, everyone saluted, he took out the hand behind his back, and handed a painting scroll to the maid on the side casually with some stiffness, "Someone else sent a calligraphy and painting from the previous dynasty, Mrs. keep it." ”

Song Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "That pot of jasmine just now, it's your ......"

Shao Ding coughed and nodded in acknowledgement. Song Yan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shao Ying being held, and said with an excited look, "Father, I also broke one just now!" ”

Shao Ding, who did the same thing as a child, looked even more stupid, and his face was even more ugly, but he didn't say anything. Only then did Songyan know why Qiaozhi Fang showed that look, I am afraid that it was because he saw the father and son doing the same thing, and he couldn't help but smile and endure it. Cao's mother was so anxious that she pulled Shao Ying and said, "Shizi, let's go to the yard and see the snowballs raised by Mrs. Seeing that Shao Ying was really interested, Song Yan nodded and asked Cao's mother to take Shao Ying down. She was afraid that Shao Ding would not be able to get off the stage, so she hurriedly sent the servants around her who wanted to laugh very much, and didn't dare to laugh out loud for half a minute.

Everyone went down, Shao Ding stood in the center of the room without moving, his momentum was majestic, his complexion was cold, and he should have been intimidating, but Songyan thought of Shao Ying's depressed little face, and felt a little disrespectful in his heart that Shao Ding's cold appearance was also dejected. With a little smile, she naturally stepped forward and asked Shao Ding, "Have you been scratched by debris?" ”

Shao Ding is an adult man in the end, a moment of loss passed quickly, he shook his head, did not speak, Songyan did not dare to treat him as a child, let him go to see the jasmine in the lacquer plate, so he skipped this matter in a good way, and said, "In addition to the lily duck, today I also ordered the kitchen to make an old duck casserole, you can taste it later." ”

Shao Ding saw that her eyes were crooked with a smile, and he nodded after half a beat slowly.

The servants were busy setting the table in the east room, and there were only the two of them in the west room, and Songyan said, "Thank you for giving me the seal this morning. ”

Shao Ding looked at her and said, "I just see that Madame needs it now." ”

Songyan was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't stop the smile on the corner of his mouth, and when he thought of Mrs. Yan, the coldness on his body faded, and his heart was warm.

There is a rosewood round table in the east room, and in the center is the lily duck I just mentioned, the duck casserole, and various seasonal vegetables. Songyan invited Shao Ding and Shao Ying to sit down, because serving Yan Furong to eat on weekdays was also here, so he naturally used chopsticks to serve Yan Furong to the two of them. Shao Ding saw that she kept taking care of her father and son all the time, and she didn't even know that there was sweat on her forehead, and she paid special attention to Shao Ying, even as if she was serving Shao Ying.

Shao Ding's heart was very complicated, both relieved and sad. Fortunately, his wife not only told him in person that he didn't want to be a strange couple, but also noticed that he owed Shao Ying all these years of mother-son love, and was eager to make up for it. What is sad is that in order to make up for Shao Ying, Mrs. is such an arrogant person, and she puts her posture so low. Thinking of this, he finally had enough reason to refute the words of Aunt Cuiwei who had warned him a few days ago in Qixia Courtyard that he could not indulge his wife.

He was happy for a moment, stretched out his hand to hold Songyan's hand, and said, "Madam, sit down and eat together." ”

Shao Ying sat opposite and didn't dare to speak while eating, and also looked at Songyan with blank eyes, waiting for her to sit down. Songyan only felt that Shao Ding's hand was very big, with distinct joints, covering her hand, almost holding her hand in the palm of her hand. He stared at Songyan again with dark eyes of pure joy. Songyan's ears couldn't help but feel a little hot, and he sat down with the force in Shao Ding's hand.

The east room was harmonious, and even Yuhua and Qiaozhi were infected by this relaxed atmosphere on the side, standing with their hands down, pursing their lips and snickering.

Suddenly, Yan'er walked in quickly and said, "Madam, Sister Ganlu has come back from Qixia Courtyard, please come to you." ”

Yuhua was anxious and disappointed, why did this nectar go to Qixia Courtyard for only a few days, and she had no eyesight? Mrs. Hou Ye is rarely in a harmonious room, she waits for Hou Ye to go back, and then asks for peace, and it is not bad for a moment!

She was in a hurry, and when she saw that the smile on her wife's face remained unchanged, she personally filled a bowl of duck soup for Shao Ying, and said, "I know, I've worked hard these days, let her go down to rest, and come back tomorrow to say goodbye." ”

Yan'er was blocked back by her, and seeing that Shao Ding didn't even notice these episodes, she had to bite her lip and go down.

Yuhua couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then she was suddenly stunned, why did she react like she was guarding against nectar?
