It's July again, and in this alternate season of autumn and summer, the midday sun still makes people feel a little hot.

The peach forest on the hill behind the peach forest courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing swayed in the breeze, making a cheerful rustling sound.

Although there are no peaches in sight in the peach forest, the air is still filled with the sweetness of peaches.

Suddenly, there was an arrogant cheer, breaking the silence of the Taolin Courtyard.

"Beat me, kill these who don't know the times!"

"You, you, and you, Miss Ben with you."

"If they don't let Miss Ben out of the way, they will be killed."

“”

The cheers came from outside the Stacked Green Garden in the other courtyard.

Diecui Garden is the courtyard where Situ Jiao has been living since she was sent to Taolin Courtyard.

With this coquettish voice, there was chaos in front of the door of Diecui Garden, screaming, screaming, and entanglement, and all kinds of sounds continued to enter the room.

On the bed in the middle of the main room of Diecui Yuan, a thin girl with a pale face was sleeping at the moment, about eleven or twelve years old.

This person is Situ Jiao, the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Anning.

Because Situ Jiao is a premature baby, her physique has always been weak.

The day before yesterday, I went to the peach forest to see the peaches, I was drenched in a sudden rain, I got a cold, and I was drinking medicine for the past two days, and I was drinking medicine and falling asleep at the moment.

The constant noise outside made her sleep extremely unstable, and she saw her brows furrowed and her eyelashes fluttering slightly, as if she was struggling to wake up from her sleep.

Maybe it's the effect of the drug, or maybe the body is really weak, in short, Situ Jiao tried hard for a while, but he couldn't get his wish.

The sound outside the door came one after another, which continued to stimulate Situ Jiao's nerves and made her feel uneasy.

After a while, I saw Situ Jiaoxiu's eyebrows tighten and loosen, loose and tight, and finally opened her eyes with a "whoosh", frowning and listening to the noise outside, and the cold glint in her eyes flashed.

The weakness caused by the fever made Situ Jiao's whole body weak and dizzy, and he propped up his heavy body, looking around, there was no figure in the room.

Situ Jiao had to get out of bed slowly, staggered out of the room with some vain steps, and stood in front of the half-hidden window.

Situ Jiao stood in a very clever position, she could see the situation outside clearly, but it was difficult for people outside to find her.

There are two groups of people entangled in front of the door, and one group is naturally a few maids and daughters who are waiting for Situ Jiao in the other courtyard.

Led by Situ Jiao's nurse Mother Li, who was the housekeeper mother of the original Han family, Hong Aya, they blocked the door to stop another group of people who tried to rush into Situ Jiao's room.

The other group came from the Anning Hou Mansion in the capital, and the one who made the arrogant voice was none other than Situ Jin, another young lady from the Anning Hou Mansion.

Situ Jin is Situ Jiao's sister-in-law, and her mother is the maiden niece of the old lady Lin, and the cousin and concubine of Anning Hou Situ Kong.

Two months after Situ Jiao was sent out of the Anning Mansion, the Kobayashi clan used a small sedan chair to carry it into the Anning Mansion.

Situ Jin is almost a year younger than Situ Jiao, although she is the concubine of the Marquis of Anning, but because she has been raised by the old lady since she was a child, she has been pampered by the old lady and grew up, and she has developed an arrogant and domineering temperament.

The reason why Situ Jin appeared in this annex today has to be traced back to a year ago.

Every time this season is the time when the peaches are ripe, the other courtyard will send some self-produced peaches to the Anning Hou Mansion every year.

In the past, the old lady would never let the peaches sent by the other courtyard into her Ci'an Garden, just because there was a ghost boy Situ Jiao living in the courtyard where the peaches were sent to, and she was unlucky.

It happened that this year's peach was a small year, and it was difficult to buy peaches with the taste of Situ Jin outside, so the old lady could only retreat.

Who made the old lady's heart treasure Situ Jin love peaches the most, and the peaches in the other courtyard are famous for their juicy and delicious taste.

Therefore, Situ Jin knew that in the courtyard where Situ Jiao lived, there was actually a peach forest known for its abundance of peaches.

After tasting the deliciousness of the peaches in the other courtyard, Situ Jin couldn't stop, so he insisted on going his own way despite the dissuasion of the Xiaolin family, and rushed to the other courtyard with people, but unexpectedly, the peaches in the other courtyard had been picked a few days ago.

Situ Jin, who failed to get her wish, naturally would not let Situ Jiao go, in her eyes, Situ Jiao was like a bedbug that could be stepped on under her feet at any time, it was not worth mentioning at all, so she took her mother-in-law to make a big fuss in the other courtyard.

In the big trouble a year ago, the arrogant Situ Jin pushed Situ Jiao to the ground by mistake, causing Situ Jiao to suffer a heavy head injury and was in a coma for several days.

After Situ Jin pushed Situ Jiao down, he looked at Situ Jiao, who was unconscious with blood on his face, thinking that he had killed Situ Jiao, and fled back to the capital with his own people in a panic.

stayed in the capital for a few days, but there was no news about Situ Jiao's injury and death from the other courtyard, and it was obvious that Situ Jiao was fine, so he was relieved.

I was secretly worried that Situ Jiao, a ghost boy who had been born in the middle of July, was really hard, and at the same time made up his mind that he must come to the courtyard a few days earlier next year, and he must not sweep away the peaches before Situ Jiao harvests them.

It's just that what Situ Jin didn't know was that she had achieved a new Situ Jiao with such a push.

When Situ Jiao woke up again, her temperament changed greatly.

Situ Jiao, who was originally cowardly and inferior, became stronger, and her temperament was much more cheerful than before.

What made Li's mother feel even more relieved was that Situ Jiao, who was originally negative and a little self-defeating, became active and eager to learn.

In addition to the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting that were still in the heart before, the martial arts and medical skills that he originally refused to learn have become Situ Jiao's most important daily homework this year, and the results have been very fruitful.

Although today's Situ Jiao's physique is still not very good due to premature birth, he has strengthened his physique because he has learned martial arts.

And because of the study of medicine and the ability to self-regulate, her body is much better than the previous ten years.

If it weren't for Situ Jiao's whim the day before yesterday, she went to the peach forest to personally select the peaches to be sent to her grandfather General Han's mansion, but the sky suddenly rained heavily, which made Situ Jiao infected with wind and cold, so she was sick in bed today, in fact, she has rarely drunk medicine in the past half a year.

Situ Jin has always been obsessed with the peaches in this courtyard, and this year before the peaches are ripe, he has already boasted in front of a few good sisters, and he will definitely take some delicious peaches from the courtyard to share with the sisters.

So this year, Situ Jin came to the other courtyard earlier than last year, almost half a month.

I don't know if Situ Jiao got the news in advance, or if this year's peaches were ripe early, when Situ Jinxing rushed to the other courtyard, the peaches in the peach forest had already been picked and emptied.

Looking at the empty peach forest, listening to the "rustle" sound of the peach forest under the breeze, Situ Jin felt that the whole world was laughing at her, and she was immediately annoyed and angry, and came to Diecuiyuan again to make trouble for Situ Jiao.

Situ Jiao leaned on the windowsill and looked at the entangled maid-in-law outside the room, listening to Situ Jin's scolding one after another, her little face was gloomy like ink.

After looking at it coldly for a while, a cold smile appeared on her face, which made Situ Jin, who was dancing with her forehand and commanding the maids-in-law, shiver coldly.

I saw that she looked left and right but found nothing, so she continued to shout.

Seeing this, Situ Jin had no intention of restraint, Situ Jiaoxiu behind the window raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips, and seemed to have made up his mind, the cold glint in his eyes was even worse, his left hand was raised lightly, and a wisp of air rushed out of the window.

Then a series of voices came from outside the door.

"Smack"

"Ouch......"

"You dead girl, let you beat those, where are you beating? And you, you, you, you are all dead, give me a lesson, teach those a hard lesson! The arrogant coquettish drink came again and again.

Situ Jin's scolding and the sudden cannibalism of his mother-in-law made Mother Li, who was sticking to the door, unable to help but be stunned, a trace of inexplicable emotion flashed in her eyes, and then her body continued to sway left and right, guarding the mother-in-law Yahuan beside her.

It's just that her hands are slightly raised, seemingly waving up and down, left and right in a disorderly manner.

With the waving of Li's mother's hands, soon a more lively sound came from outside the door.

"Smack, smack, smack......"

First, there were a few high or low palm strikes, and then a series of exclamations, cries of pain and angry shouts, accompanied by the continuous sound of "pop, pop", which sounded lively.

"Ouch......"

"Where are you fighting?"

"Miss asked you to beat those, why do you keep beating me?"

"You still say me, where is your hand?"

“……”

"Smack......

"Ouch, you dead minion, looking for death! You dare to fight even Miss Ben? ”

"Miss, Miss, I'm sorry, but I can't control the direction of my hand......"

"Smack......

"Oh, you're still fighting, you're going to die!"

“……”

Seeing that the other party was just dodging and had no extra moves, but his own side was always killing each other, the big girl next to Situ Jin couldn't help but shout in horror: "Ouch, my mother, are we ghosts?" Quick, quick, quick, get out of here with Miss......"

As the sound of scattered footsteps and Situ Jin's angry scolding faded away, it was finally much quieter outside the door.
