And between Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao, who had already gone away, there was another conversation.

"Cousin, what the hell happened just now?" Walking out of Princess Hanyue's line of sight, Mu Xiaoxiao finally couldn't hold back the doubts in her heart, pinched Feng Zhige's hand and asked in a series of ways, "Princess Hanyue just wants to keep me talking, it's no big deal, cousin, why do you react so much?" It's like something is going to happen to me if I stay. ”

Speaking of which, Mu Xiaoxiao was amused by herself, and laughed non-stop.

Feng Zhige glanced at Mu Xiaoxiao, a little speechless in his heart, this is really a stupid big sister.

Seeing that Feng Zhige didn't respond, Mu Xiaoxiao didn't care, and talked about how she walked into the courtyard.

"I originally just wanted to go to the clean room, who knows how this hundred gardens can be built like a labyrinth, I still remember what the palace maid said when she pointed the way, but in the end I turned around and turned to the outside of the small courtyard." Mu Xiaoxiao said to herself about her experience, "After walking for a long time, I was really panicked at that time, and I didn't care if I had no choice, so I didn't care if I was uninvited." When I came out of the clean room, I found that the scenery in this courtyard was really good, and I forgot that I should come back soon. ”

"Later, I was awakened by a quarrel, and then I saw your sister rushing out of the room where Princess Hanyue was staying."

"Cousin, your cousin and my eyes can see clearly, your sister went out with a swollen face, maybe she angered Princess Hanyue and was beaten by Princess Hanyue!"

"I still wanted to sneak a look at who your sister was arguing with, but I didn't expect it to be Princess Hanyue inside, and before I could take a second look, I was discovered."

Speaking of this, Mu Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her eyebrows a little funny, "Cousin, guess I heard what Princess Hanyue was saying, she actually said what would happen if she wasn't a princess one day, don't you think it's funny?" ”

Princess Hanyue, who is so favored by the current emperor. How can there be a day when you are not a princess?

This is really funny to the ears of others.

Feng Zhige stopped because of Mu Xiaoxiao's words.

It seems that Princess Hanyue's worries before were indeed justified, and Mu Xiaoxiao really heard things that should not be heard.

But. Just as Feng Zhige thought, even if he heard this, Mu Xiaoxiao really didn't think deeply.

It is estimated that even if she thinks deeply, with her straight intestines, she will definitely not be able to think of an ugly person.

yes. The vast majority of people in this world, even if they hear this, will only think that Princess Hanyue suddenly sighs for a while, who would think of it?

Although this is the case, Feng Zhige thought, it is still necessary for her to tell Mu Xiaoxiao well, she told Fang Cai's matter to herself so casually, it is nothing if this word falls on her ears, but if it is heard by some people with ulterior motives......

Princess Hanyue is a princess after all, if she wants to deal with the Mu family. It is difficult for the Mu family to be lucky.

So Feng Zhige looked at Mu Xiaoxiao and said very seriously: "Cousin, from this moment on, you must firmly remember that you only left once at the Spring Banquet today and went to the clean room, you have never been to a small courtyard with a beautiful view, nor have you seen Feng Mingwu, nor have you heard any words from Princess Hanyue!" Even if you go back, you can only say this to the eldest aunt and the third aunt! ”

In order to attract Mu Xiaoxiao's attention. Feng Zhige's words were very strict, she didn't want Mu Xiaoxiao to bring disaster to the entire Mu family in the future because of a momentary negligence.

Mu Xiaoxiao was a little stunned for a while.

She still didn't understand why Feng Zhige attached so much importance to this matter, and then, the strange confrontation between Feng Zhige and Princess Hanyue appeared in front of her. Although she didn't know the reason at the time, now that she thinks about it, it may have something to do with what she saw or heard.

In Mu Xiaoxiao's heart, Feng Zhige is a relative worthy of her full trust, and even her aunt and mother specially instructed her to listen to her cousin if she doesn't understand anything, so although she still has doubts in her heart. Mu Xiaoxiao still nodded earnestly and vigorously.

Feng Zhige looked at Mu Xiaoxiao carefully and confirmed that she really took her words to heart, then nodded and continued to walk towards the spring banquet.

When the two returned to the banquet, the spring banquet was at its most lively.

As Princess Hanyue said, there are really no rules for the spring banquet she held, most of the ladies who went to the banquet came to participate in the spring banquet for the first time, and they felt novel, and after Princess Hanyue left, they were even more unrestrained, either curiously looking at a qiē in the peony garden, or talking with the young ladies who were familiar with each other, and even drank too much fruit wine and ran to the platform where Princess Hanyue was to dance on the spot......

Everyone's daughters are usually constrained too much, and it is rare to be a little presumptuous here, and everyone else only laughs at the behavior of these young ladies who can be called gaffes in normal times.

Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao's departure and return did not attract too much attention from others, and Feng Zhige noticed that Feng Mingwu, who was originally sitting in the middle position, disappeared at this time.

remembered that Mu Xiaoxiao said that Feng Mingwu ran out with a swollen face, with Feng Mingwu's virtue, how could she let others see her face with slap prints?

Second, the only one who can slap Feng Mingwu, the county lord of Yunyang, in this peony garden, is Princess Hanyue, if you let the nobles present know, I don't know if she, the county lord of Yunyang, who has no face, will still have a face to walk around in the future.

However, Feng Mingwu's absence had no effect on Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao, so it was just a little bit of attention.

Fortunately, the next qiē was very smooth, and there was no mess.

After that, the spring banquet came to an end, and Princess Hanyue did not show up again until this time, and then the ladies of each family said goodbye and left one by one.

Feng Zhige and Mu Xiaoxiao separated at the gate of Baihuayuan, Weiyuan Houfu and the Mu family were really not on the way, before parting, in order to prevent Mu Xiaoxiao from forgetting her previous instructions, Feng Zhige specially emphasized that Mu Xiaoxiao should not tell anyone about the qiē she saw in that small courtyard, and the two of them separated and returned home.

The Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion originally sent two carriages, Feng Zhige and Feng Mingwu took one carriage on the way, and the other one was for the two maids to sit on, but at this time, only the one that Feng Zhige had ridden in before was left in Baihuayuan, presumably Feng Mingwu was in a hurry to return to the house, and he was willing to deign to sit in the carriage that the people had sitined.

Feng Zhige smiled faintly and led Banxia Fufeng into the carriage.

There were a lot of carriages pouring out of the Hundred Gardens, and even the spacious streets were a little blocked for a while, and the carriage that directly guided Feng Zhige did not go far for a quarter of an hour after leaving the Hundred Gardens.

Fortunately, Feng Zhige is not in a hurry. She leaned slightly against the wall of the carriage and listened to Banxia and Fufeng discuss what they had seen at the spring banquet.

At this moment, the carriage suddenly shook slightly, and then came to a halt. Through the heavy curtains, you can faintly hear the frightened neighing of horses, the exclamations of women, and the cries of children.

Without Feng Zhige's instructions, Banxia and Fufeng stopped chatting, Banxia stretched out his hand to open the curtain slightly, frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The driver of the car was called Lao Wang. It was arranged by Mama Li from the secret guard after she came to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, and she has always only driven for Feng Zhige alone, not only is she calm and witty, but even her kung fu is counted among the secret guards.

Driving for Feng Zhige for six or seven years, Lao Wang has never had anything, this time?

"Master, a young woman with a child in her arms suddenly rushed out...... "Even though he knew that Feng Zhige couldn't see it, Lao Wang still bowed his head respectfully, and then explained the reasons for the incident one by one.

Just when the carriage of the Hou Mansion was moving forward smoothly. A woman with a child in her arms suddenly rushed to the carriage, and if it had not been for the fact that the old king had seen the opportunity to quickly hold the reins and the carriage to move smoothly, perhaps the woman and the child in her arms would have become a lonely soul under the horse's hooves.

Feng Zhige raised his eyebrows.

This situation is more like the so-called porcelain touching in later generations.

However, if the porcelain is still leading the child, then I have to say that this woman is really ruthless.

"Master, why don't you let the servant go down and have a look?" The wind on the side turned his head.

Compared with the calm Banxia, Fufeng is not only more lively, but also more jealous and hateful. The reason why she automatically asked for money was that she had made up her mind, and if the woman outside had the idea of blackmailing some money, she would definitely be told to go around without eating.

Feng Zhige nodded.

Fufeng then lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage, and the first thing he saw was that the horses pulling the carriage were frightened. Still a little frightened, he kept stepping back and forth on the horse's hooves.

Almost two paces away from the horse's hoof, a young woman carried a small burden and held a child of about three or four years old in her hand, and she was on the ground with a frightened face.

The woman was wearing ordinary coarse cloth clothes, and even the coarse cloth clothes, neckline, cuffs, etc., were washed a little white. Her appearance can only be regarded as middle-to-upper, but there is a brightness on her face that can easily give people a good impression.

Obviously, this is not a man of intrigue.

It is worth noting that even if she fell to the ground, the woman still subconsciously protected the child in her arms very well, she had several abrasions on her own hands, but the child in her arms did not even break a little oily skin.

From this alone, Fufeng knew that this woman was not trying to risk her life to get some money, as she had imagined before.

In this way, Fufeng's face softened, and she took a few steps forward to help the woman up, and while examining the wound on her hand, she asked, "This eldest sister, are you okay?" ”

The woman was so shocked that she felt that her legs were too weak to exert any strength, and if it weren't for the help of the wind, she probably wouldn't have known how long it would have been to get up.

Glancing at Fufeng gratefully, the woman didn't care about the injury on her hand, but endured the pain and first coaxed the child who was also frightened and crying in her arms: "Xiaobao, there is a mother, it's okay." ”

While coaxing softly, he also patted the child's back rhythmically with his injured hand.

With just this simple action, she seems to exude a mother's unique maternal brilliance.

The child in the woman's arms was only three or four years old, and the clothes on her body were of the same ordinary material, and her whole body was clean and clean, and she was obviously well cared for.

Under the woman's soft coaxing, the child gradually stopped crying and lay quietly on the woman's shoulder, sobbing only occasionally.

Only then did the woman turn to Fufeng: "This girl, I'm really sorry, it's all my fault, if it weren't for the fact that I was in a hurry to go to the other side, I wouldn't sit down for this kind of thing, if it caused any loss to your house, I would ......"

The woman wanted to say that she was willing to make amends, but after thinking about the remaining silver in her purse, she could not say it.

This time I didn't bring much money with me to the capital. After being in the capital for so many days, there is not much left, even if she wants to make compensation, she can only be powerless, let alone powerless. In order not to make Xiaobao hungry, she still has to keep this little silver.

The woman has also seen some of the world, and the carriage in front of her is obviously not from an ordinary family, and the identity of the owner of the car must be unusual, and such a family will definitely not look down on the compensation she can give. But this doesn't mean that she can take it for granted that she can be ashamed, so knowing that she is wrong but not making amends, in the end it is against her usual code of conduct, and her face instantly turned red under the shame in her heart.

Fufeng can roughly figure out what kind of mentality the woman is, and for a while he has a little more affection for this woman, and he also wants to help her, and he wants to go back to the carriage to report the reason for the matter to the master, but he heard a soft sound from the carriage behind him, and when he looked back, it was Feng Zhige who was helped out of the carriage by Banxia.

The woman looked up. I saw a girl in an emerald dress with an indifferent face coming to her, she only felt that the young lady in front of her was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but after thinking about it, she couldn't think of the source of this familiarity.

Feng Zhige came to the woman's side, looked her up and down, and then said affirmatively: "Mrs. Lin." ”

That's right, this woman is the Lin lady who led the way for the female guests in the Zhiwei Xuan in Huzhou.

Feng Zhige was also a little familiar with Lin Niangzi's voice, and only after getting off the carriage did he recognize her identity.

recalled that when I first met Mrs. Lin, because of a private room, she also provoked Lian Qing's biological mother, Mrs. Hu, to be angry with Mu Qingwan. As a result, he got a kick from Feng Lin, who happened to be present, under the anger of him.

I still remember that Mrs. Hu said at that time that Mrs. Lin lost her husband a few years ago, not only with a posthumous child, but also an elderly mother-in-law to take care of.

Fufeng raised his eyebrows in surprise when he heard this. Does the master know this woman?

That time I went to Zhiweixuan with Mu Qingwan, Feng Zhige only brought Mama Li and Banxia, but Fufeng stayed in Luoshuixuan.

was called by Feng Zhige like this, Lin Niangzi also suddenly recalled where she had seen the young lady in front of her, she held the child and blessed Feng Zhige slightly, "It turned out to be a big girl." ”

Lin Niangzi was also impressed by Feng Zhige. She hadn't forgotten the momentum of Feng Zhige when she confronted Mrs. Hu at the beginning, but she had only seen Feng Zhige once, and it was a long time apart, so she couldn't recognize it for a while.

Of course, what was even more impressive to Mrs. Lin was that at that time in Zhiweixuan, the power of Wei Yuanhou's kick towards Mrs. Hu was there.

I heard that Mrs. Hu has rarely gone out since then, and I don't know if she feels embarrassed or because of some other reason.

And the kick that Feng Lin kicked out, in addition to Mrs. Hu, Lin Niangzi herself was also affected.

Lin Niangzi was in Zhiweixuan at that time to guide the way for female guests and earn some reward money to live, although the incident was Mrs. Hu's intention to find fault, but in the end it was Lin Niangzi who led the people into the private room, although the shopkeeper of Zhiweixuan saw that it was not easy for her orphans and widows and did not say much, Lin Niangzi still felt that she did not take the initiative to leave Zhiweixuan.

It was also a few months after that Lin Niangzi unexpectedly learned a news that she couldn't accept from a fellow who returned to Huzhou from the capital, so she hurriedly arranged for her elderly mother-in-law to come to the capital alone with her child.

Whether it was Feng Zhige or Lin Niangzi, they didn't expect to see the old man again in the capital after nearly a year.

Because of this, the sorrow in Lin Niangzi's eyes faded slightly, and she even showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time, and bowed her head gently at Feng Zhige.

Feng Zhige also smiled and nodded in response.

As early as when Zhiweixuan first met Lin Niangzi, Feng Zhige had a faint appreciation for her.

Even if they are forced to be helpless, in this era of strict etiquette and especially strict for women, there are almost no women who will show up outside to earn money to support their families.

There are many weak and desperate women in this world, but most of them either choose to die when they are cornered, or choose to commit themselves to others.

A tenacious woman like Lin Niangzi, if she is in the next life, she will definitely be able to live better than anyone else.

It's a pity that she was born in this era.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhige felt a little emotional.

"Big girl, it's all my fault today, I'm really sorry." Lin Niangzi was ashamed.

"It's okay, it's okay to be a person." Feng Zhige looked at the back of Lin Niangzi's bloodshot hand as he spoke, "Your hand is injured, it's better to go back and deal with the wound quickly." ”

Lin Niangzi's hands are a little rough, this is obviously a pair of hands that are used to doing work.

Just looking at Lin Niangzi's hands, Feng Zhige also knew that she had suffered a lot, not to mention the deep sorrow and disappointment hidden in her eyes.

However, Feng Zhige didn't ask why Lin Niangzi appeared in the capital thousands of miles away from Huzhou, after all, they just met in Pingshui, and who didn't have some secrets in their hearts, Lin Niangzi probably didn't want to expose her sadness in front of others.

Hearing this, Lin Niangzi subconsciously stroked the back of her somewhat red and swollen hand and nodded silently.

Seeing that there was nothing to say, Feng Zhige smiled slightly and turned around to get into the carriage.

At this moment, Lin Niangzi suddenly hesitated behind her and spoke: "Big girl, you ...... Can you take me in? (To be continued.) )
