Lu Qiao's sudden death was just a small episode. Although the county lord of Duanhui was puzzled, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

The weather is getting warmer day by day, and it's time for flowers to bloom and spring to be noisy. There are four gardeners in the villa, and they do their best to take care of these flowers and plants, so they grow better than other places.

In the past two days, the pear blossoms of Tangli Study have gradually bloomed, and the branches are covered with snow. Rong Zheng took the lead and set the table in the Tangli study. Let the study be packed out, and wait for the twenty-day banquet guests.

Rong Zheng saw that there was a twelve-leaf glass screen in the warehouse, so he carefully took it out and placed it in the main hall.

When the county lord of Duanhui saw it, he said, "I almost forgot that there is this at home." I haven't seen it a few times since I was a child. Why did you find out? ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "I found it by accident." This screen is so beautiful. ”

Duan Hui diǎndiǎn head, it is said that this screen was originally a dowry for the mother. She was afraid that she would bump into it, and when she did, she stared at the screen with both eyes, and told her to be careful about it.

The day of the twentieth is not long in coming. Rong Zheng got up before dawn, first went to the study to see that nothing happened, and then came back to freshen up.

Qiu Ci combed Rong Zheng's hair, and Ruyi helped Rong Zheng choose clothes.

Qiu Ci helped Rong Zheng pull a bun with the clouds, and when he wore jewelry, Rong Zheng chose the set of Nanzhu head noodles that were not very outstanding. A white stand-up collar grass green embroidered shirt with a turquoise collar button on it, lotus lotus sprinkled with silk half arms, and a high-waisted skirt embroidered with grass green gold thread embroidered grass pattern. Very fresh and elegant.

After finishing the makeup, Rong Zheng went to the Splendid Courtyard.

The lord of Duanhui also got up. used red date tea, crooked on the couch, Su Su took the beauty mallet and gently beat Duanhui's legs.

"Where are you coming? Why don't they sleep a little longer, they're just afraid that it's still early, and it will be almost enough to arrive before the end of the day. If you don't rest, you don't have the energy to deal with it. Duan Hui saw the cyan color under Rong Zheng's eyes that couldn't be covered by the fat powder.

Rong Zheng said: "There are guests at home, how can you stay in bed." Didn't the county lord get up so early? ”

"I'm used to it."

The maid set the breakfast for the two of them, and Duanhui only ate a bowl of bird's nest porridge, one ¥∧dǐng¥∧diǎn¥∧ small ¥∧ said, .≦.≯os_(); I won't eat any more rolls. Rinse your mouth and hands after eating. The two went to the study again.

Duanhui ordered the people to hang out the scrolls in the cylinder, adding a lot of elegance.

When the time comes. The guests came one after another.

Rong Zheng invited the three cousins of the Qi family and Mrs. Lu. Rong Xiao sat in a dǐng sedan chair and also came. Du Shi said that he was busy and did not come. also invited Li Shiniang. The treasure pattern, treasure embroidery and treasure green are here in the palace. Originally, I also invited the princess, but the princess said that she wanted a director and didn't come. The county lord of Duanhui gave Zhao Xiuru a post.

They are all girls of the same age, and the county lord of Duanhui is the oldest, and he is reluctant to have fun with these girls. and Mrs. Lu sat in the wing room and pulled homework.

The scene was completely left to Rong Zheng to take care of. She often just greeted this. and was busy greeting that, only hating the lack of skills.

Yun Xia hadn't seen Rong Zheng for a long time, so she grabbed her and whispered: "I heard that you went to the capital." It's really enviable. I was so thankful for bringing me so many things. ”

Rong Zheng patted her hand and said, "Why did my sister say this?" ”

"It's rare that you have this heart. By the way, I'll tell you. During the Chinese New Year, the fifth brother came back from Jiangxi and asked me about you. I said that you married into the Mu family, and he was sad for a while. When I left, I was also sad. It can be seen that the fifth brother still has you in his heart, and he has never let go. ”

Rong Zheng didn't squeak after hearing it, Yun Xia saw that Rong Zheng didn't pay much attention to it, and thought that Rong Zheng was happy after getting married, and she said that those things were meaningless. Busy and smiled: "Hey, no matter what the fifth brother is." You're fine now. I heard that the fifth brother is also very motivated to study in the academy. The second aunt was very happy. is about to tell the fifth brother about his daughter-in-law. ”

"It's time to get married, and I'm not too young."

Mu Baowen and Li Shiniang walked over hand in hand, Mu Baowen asked with a smile: "What are sister-in-law and sister Qi family talking about?" Ignore us. ”

Rong Zheng smiled: "I didn't say anything. ”

Mu Baowen stroked the flower branch and sniffed the petals gently, only a faint fragrance. She turned around and asked Li Shiniang: "Fifteen Niang, can pear blossoms be used to make flower dew?" ”

Li Shiniang was a little stunned, and shook her head blankly: "I haven't heard of using pear blossoms to make flower dew, but the use of peach blossoms is much greater." ”

Mu Baowen said with a smile: "I don't have that spare money, otherwise I would like to enter a stock and let Fifteen Niang open a shop that sells flower dew and incense powder." ”

Li Shiniang hurriedly waved her hand and said: "There is still a shortage of incense powder shops in Bianliang. I don't have the ability to open it, and I don't have that spare money. "Fifteen Niang is just a young lady, her position at home is a little awkward, and she doesn't have much money at her disposal.

The girls talk and laugh, and because they are close friends, they can't help but be a little unscrupulous.

Zhao Xiuru has always been quiet and not noisy, she is not interested in the pear blossoms that fill the courtyard like snow, but the famous pen Danqing hanging out in the study. Her eyes were obsessed and she watched with relish. The so-called talented woman, when it is!

The lord of Duanhui County came out after talking to Mrs. Lu for a while, and stood in the hall and talked with Zhao Xiuru for a few words.

Old Madam Lu beckoned to Rong Zheng. Rong Zheng hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Grandma, do you have something to do with me?" ”

"You girl, do you really have to have something to call you, I want to talk to you."

Rong Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to help Mrs. Lu and invited her into the house.

Old Madam Lu only served in front of her closest maids, and the idlers and others all withdrew. Old Madam Lu pulled Rong Zheng and looked at her carefully, and finally her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and asked with concern: "It's been more than two months since you got married, do you have any news there?" ”

Rong Zheng immediately understood what his grandmother was talking about, blushed, and shook his head.

Mrs. Lu couldn't hide her disappointment, and sighed and said, "My grandson-in-law is far away again. I don't know when I'll be back. You are so young, and you have only recently been married and you are alone in the empty house, what is the matter? ”

Rong Zheng said shyly: "There are many examples of newlyweds being separated. ”

"I don't care what other people do, I just feel sorry for you. If I had known that my grandson-in-law was going on a long journey, I would have been the first to jump out and stop him. It's okay to study and be an official from afar, why did you enter the barracks? The sword has no eyes, in case it ......" Old Madam Lu felt unlucky again, and hurriedly changed her words: "He, the eldest son of a vassal king, can use that kind of place?" There is nothing to do, and this family business will not be able to be eaten for several lifetimes. What's more, he is still from the clan, why are he working so hard. It can be seen that I don't really feel sorry for you. ”

The old man can't see parting. Naturally, I like to be reunited, and the whole family is lively.

Rong Zheng understood what his grandmother meant. But she won't argue with the old man. just smiled and followed her words: "We as women may not understand men's thoughts." Luckily, I'm still young, and he's not that old. Even if you wait for him for two years, you can wait. It's always good to go out and see the next world. ”

"I feel sorry for you." Old Madam Lu shook her head. This only grandson made her **** a lot of heart. It seems that he should have stopped his uncle from marrying this family business in the first place.

Rong Zheng smiled and gently snuggled in Mrs. Lu's arms, like a coquettish child. Mrs. Lu really treated her as a child, and patted her on the back dotingly. Said lovingly: "My hard-working sister Zheng. You're still one star off your luck. ”

Rong Zheng smiled and said, "Grandma." He was very good to me. You can't be in one place for a short time, but you have to take a long-term view. He's a guy to rely on. I'm actually quite happy with the status quo. Grandma doesn't have to worry about me. You should rest assured that you will be old age. ”

Old Madam Lu hurriedly asked, "Seriously, didn't you say to comfort me?" ”

"Really. Grandma, don't think about it. I can't let you worry about it for the rest of your life, I can take care of myself. ”

Old Madam Lu bowed slightly, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her chest, her precious granddaughter had grown up.

The two girls who were invited to play the pipa were both seventeen or eighteen years old, with ordinary appearances, wearing a water-red skirt, sitting under a tree full of pear blossoms, and holding the pipa in their arms, which was a moving picture in itself. The piano skills of the two are superb, and they are really like the charm of "noisy cutting and miscellaneous, big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate" written by Bai Letian.

The lord of Duanhui liked the pipa they played very much, and diǎn a "Spring River Flower Moon Night", and the two cooperated very tacitly, and they were not happy to listen to it, and diǎn a "Overlord Unloading Armor". This piece is different from the graceful and soft of the previous song, and this piece is full of tragedy and dullness at the end.

The two girls were able to perform this song to the fullest.

The county lord of Rong Zheng Xindao has always been a little depressed, and it is not good to listen to such a tragic tune, so he diǎn another corresponding "Ambush on Ten Sides". Majestic, magnificent. The girls are slightly lacking in this kind of repertoire than the previous two songs.

At the end of the song, Ping Kang came to report: "County Lord, Cui Qiye wants to see you." ”

Lord Duanhui hurriedly said, "Okay, let him go to the Splendid Courtyard and wait first." "There are so many young girls here that it's not convenient to greet him. Duan Hui told Rong Zheng again: "I'll come when I go, I'll leave it to you here." ”

Rong Zheng got up and replied with a smile: "The county lord, please take care of yourself." ”

The girls got up to send them off, and Rong Zheng even sent Duanhui to the courtyard gate before turning back.

Li Shiniang whispered to Rong Zheng: "The county lord is your eldest sister, and you are still so polite to her." ”

"There's nothing wrong with being polite, right?"

Li Shiniang said: "The truth is true, but I always feel that if I am too polite, it will not be like a family." ”

Rong Zheng was slightly stunned, and then said: "Cui Qiye is here, do you want to see him in private?" ”

Li Shiniang blushed and said, "I saw what he did." ”

Rong Zheng saw that she was shy, and she was embarrassed to continue to joke.

Here, the county lord of Duanhui hurried to the Jinxiu Courtyard, and Cui Shangzhou was standing under the eaves waiting for her. She lifted her skirt and went up the steps, and said with a smile, "You're here." He invited him into the house, invited him to sit down, and beckoned the maid to bring tea.

Cui Shangzhou sat down a little nervously, his eyes didn't squint, and he didn't even dare to look at the color clothes that Duanhui was wearing today, his heart was pounding, and his expression was a little nervous. It wasn't until the maid brought the tea that he hurriedly got up and took it, and because of the tension, the tea was almost spilled. Cui Shangzhou took a sip of tea before gradually calming down.

"The fifteenth lady of the Li family is here, or let her come to see you in a while."

The county lord began with this sentence, Cui Shangzhou panicked, and hurriedly said: "No need, I always have to avoid suspicion now." ”

Duan Hui smiled: "What's the matter if you meet occasionally and say a few words, anyway, she is also your daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door." It's just that you haven't met her, and now that she is with us, don't be embarrassed. ”

"County Lord......" Cui Shangzhou looked up at Duanhui County Lord in a hurry, but saw that Duanhui was also looking at him, and the two looked at him in the air, and Cui Shangzhou hurriedly said goodbye.

"I went to Nanyang as a child. Lu Qiao fell ill and died in the small courtyard behind the Jiejie Temple. I asked the monks in the temple, and they all said that Lu Qiao's health had not been very good before. When he was very sick, he was still a doctor invited by the monks. I've seen the doctor too, and there's nothing wrong with that. ”

"That's a normal death." Lord Duanhui breathed a sigh of relief.

Cui Shangzhou diǎn head said: "At present, it seems like this. ”

"Junhua just thinks too much, he is always suspicious of what happened back then. I don't think there will be any big problems, after all, they are all close relatives, so they won't ...... to the mother concubine" The three words 'ruthless' Duanhui naturally swallowed back.

Cui Shangzhou said with a smile: "It's good that the county lord can think like this." He was also afraid that the result would be too hurtful for the county lord to bear. But there are a lot of clues about these things, and at present, in addition to discussing with Mu Xuan, the county lord should not disturb too much.

"Xiao Qi, thank you for doing this for our sister and brother. Junhua told me before going to the capital, asking me to take care of you. If he doesn't open his mouth, I'll do it. We have been playing since childhood, and our childhood love is there, and we always have to stretch out a hand. If you have any difficulties, remember to sue me. ”

Cui Shangzhou was a little embarrassed, how could he dare to be embarrassed to open this mouth to the county lord, but he still had to say: "Thank you for the grace of the county lord." ”

Duan Hui smiled bitterly: "You are still like this, everything is so clear. Miss Fifteen is very close to our grandmother, and I often ask her to come to our side, if you miss her, you can come to us to meet her. ”

Li Shiniang is a matchmaker made by the concubine to give him a family affair, and he has no right to say no. In the future, he will also be good to Fifteen Niang, but the softest place in his heart lives in front of him, a woman with a noble status who he will never dare to dream of in his life.

He finally mustered up the courage and gave her a warm look.

Duan Hui painted his eyebrows and eyes today, and his makeup was appropriate, very exquisite. When Duan Hui saw Cui Shangzhou looking at her, she was not stage frightened, and boldly met Cui Shangzhou's gaze and smiled: "Don't worry, your business is my business and Junhua's business." ”

"County Lord, there's something I want you to ask you for!" Rong Zheng said and stepped into the threshold, but saw the two of them staring at each other. (To be continued.) )
