The weather is fine today, and the row of peony flowers and roses in front of the yard is blooming well, and there is a faint fragrance wafting in the yard.

The vine was in front of the flower garden at this time, carrying a small basket with many petals in it.

She is going to dry these petals to make sachets, although she doesn't love beauty but loves incense very much, but she can't afford to use those fat powder, wouldn't it be better to make some sachets by herself, so take advantage of the noon time to be bored, come and pick some petals.

"Sister Manju, the eldest young master always goes out early and returns late these days, we are very busy, it is better to go to the back garden and play with the sisters in each room, anyway, everyone is not busy." At this time, Manru came out of the maid's room and came to Manju and said.

"No, I can't say that the eldest young master will come back in the afternoon, we are already idle in front of the big maid of Rui'an Academy, and we don't do things seriously, and we don't take the master seriously." Manju said, and asked Manru again: "The things that the eldest young master brought back for you to send to the third lady, did you send them?" ”

“…… Something, what...... Oops, look at my memory, I really forgot. Manru really forgot when she thought about it, the eldest young master came back late last night, and Brother Ah Cai, who was following him, still had a lot of things in his hands, saying that they were for the third young lady. When they went out this morning, Brother Ah Cai also said that she would send it to the third lady of Yimengju.

"You, what should I say, now there is only one master in the courtyard, and the young master will not notice if you are sloppy, so I won't blame you. If the young lady enters the door in the future, you will have to make a mistake. Manju said helplessly, Manru is four years younger than her, so she is like a sister, so naturally she has to talk about her from time to time.

"I see. It's really too easy to forget some rules, but fortunately, Sister Manju reminded me. Manru said with an embarrassed smile, but she listened to Manju's words. Then he asked curiously: "Sister Manju, how many times have the young lady come to Rui'an Academy." I didn't come forward to serve and I don't know what she looks like, is she kind? Is it good-looking? ”

"I've only seen it twice, but I can see that we are very beautiful for the young lady, and we also look kind, so we should be a good match." Manju said.

"Then how does she compare to the girl in the long pavilion in the Fengluo Courtyard?" Manru asked again.

It's just that Manju didn't rush to answer when she heard this, but looked at Manru for a long time with scrutinizing eyes. Seeing that there was no weakness on her face, she opened her mouth and said: "The girl in the long pavilion is just a music girl, although the eldest young master occasionally goes to the Fengluo Courtyard to listen to music, it doesn't mean anything. How can she be compared with the future young lady? You don't have to mention her to others in the future, the province will be remembered, and when the young lady enters the door, she will blame you for hearing something. ”

"I, I know...... That's what Sister Liuhua said that time, as soon as the young lady enters the door, our young master will mention the Changting girl as an aunt. That's why I took it to heart. After all, the young lady is the master, and if the young lady is accepted by the young master as an aunt in the room, it will be half a master. Manru pouted. Her small eyes were also huddled together, and it looked like she hadn't woken up.

Hearing this, Manju sighed and shook her head, and said, "That stream painting, if you still want to stay here in peace, I advise you not to associate with her." ”

Manru was stunned for a moment when she heard Manju say this, although she didn't quite understand what Sister Manju meant, she still nodded. She still trusts Manju unconditionally, after all, the two of them are both sons of the Zhou family. was born in a Zhuangzi, and the adults of the two families were also familiar with each other. She also really regards mangrove as her sister.

Manju saw that Manru seemed to listen to her words, so she didn't say anything more. Instead, he urged her to go to Yimengju to deliver something. It's just that she thought back to what Manru had said for a while, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be something unusual in it. That stream painting is the eldest girl in the third lady's room, why did she come dry to say these words to Manru? Manru this kid is too straightforward and simple, he doesn't understand how these words of Liuhua are against the rules, if that Liuhua wants to figure out what news Guò Manru inquires, or say that it is not in line with the rules, let Manru spread it, then it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, the vine chrysanthemum stopped picking flowers, returned to the maid's room, put down the basket, and went to the back door of the yard. The nursing home that guards the gate there is a Zhuangzi with her, and her name is Zhou Qiang. Twenty-four or five years old, he has not married a daughter-in-law, and the family of Manju is interesting to talk to him about Manju. Manju knows that his ordinary conditions are not very good, but he has no head, after all, he is also twenty years old this year, although this Zhou Qiang is black and strong, he is not ugly, and he is also quite honest. So the two families were engaged last month. That Zhou Qiang was not bad to Manju, and he guarded the back door of Rui'an Courtyard, Manju sometimes went out without going through the two grandmothers at the front door, which was also very convenient.

She wanted to ask if anyone was hanging around the back door these days. As a result, I really asked some questions, and there were really people wandering around, wanting Zhou Qiang to find out the whereabouts of the eldest young master. The front door of this Rui'an Courtyard is guarded by two grandmothers, and those two grandmothers are still left by the late Mrs. Zhou of the main room, which is very heartfelt, if someone comes to ask something, they will naturally not say it, and they will also prick her and tell her to the current step-room Mrs. Zhou, so that she can be dropped.

So some people who have a heart just start from the back door, such as the Zixuan girl who was waiting by Mrs. Zhou's side in Hexiang Courtyard a few months ago, didn't come in through the back door. But at that time, everyone didn't come out to watch the heavy snow, so Zhou Qiang was not to blame.

"Man, manju, the stream painting in the courtyard of the third lady has been here, and there is a maid I don't know who came over and asked the eldest young master when he will go out and when he will come back...... But I didn't answer any of them. Zhou Qiang saw Manju asking, and hurriedly said.

"That's good, Brother Qiangzi, you're doing a good job." Manju said with a smile when she heard this.

Zhou Qiang looked at Manju's smile and smiled innocently. Although Manju is not as good-looking as the other maids, and his face is older, he looks kind and capable, and he is quite satisfied with this daughter-in-law. Now that I can hear the praise of the vine chrysanthemum, I am very happy.

Seeing him like this, Manju suddenly lowered his head with a shy face, but he saw Zhou Qiang's torn shoes, so he said: "Brother Qiangzi, wait a while, I'll go and get you something." After speaking, he ran back to his room, took out the shoes he had just made, and gave them to Zhou Qiang, who couldn't close his mouth after only being happy for a long time......
