Turning around to leave the Bauhinia Pavilion, Tang Shaohe hurried to the courtyard of the North Chamber, just in time to see Tang Jinghua looking for her everywhere, his heart warmed, and he ran to him briskly.

"Jinghua, why did you run out? Look how cold it is, go back to the house and rest. She took her brother's hand and trotted all the way back to the house.

She couldn't wait, she was afraid that she was soaking wet, and she had to clean it up quickly, I don't know if it was stained on her skirt, if there were, it would be a shame.

Tang Shaohe asked his younger brother to stay on the bed and wait for her to come back, went to the kitchen to ask for some hot water, and carried it to the bath, and began to clean it. Thinking of this, her face was as hot as fire, and she hoped she hadn't found out.

Night fell quietly, and after dinner, she accompanied her younger brother to talk in the house for a while, and only after his younger brother was asleep did she return to her own room to rest.

Perhaps she was really tired, so she lay down on the bed for a while, and soon fell asleep, not waking up until the next day, when the rooster crowed.

Tang Shaohe washed up casually, and didn't take what her cousin said to heart, she thought that as a maid, she had to have the fan of a maid.

As for her cousin's thoughts, how could she not understand the truth? It's just that she wants her green leaf to show off her cousin's noble and different temperament.

In the mirror, she smiled indifferently, as long as she didn't touch her bottom line, she could accept her cousin's unreasonable demands, the key is that her brother is still alive and well!

With everything ready, she quietly came to her brother's bed, gently caressed his cold cheek, her heart was as soft as water, and she felt content.

As the day grew brighter, she walked out of the room and stood in the middle of the courtyard, where she saw Cuihong holding a tray with a brand new set of clothes in her hand.

The corners of her mouth raised a touch of sarcasm, it is also a maid's costume, why do you need to change it again? What she wore on her body was only worn two or three times! My cousin's intentions are really redundant!

Tang Shaohe changed into the new clothes that Tang Shaoying had prepared for her, and went to the Bauhinia Pavilion where her cousin lived with Cui Hong, calmly waiting for her cousin to freshen up and change her clothes, dressed up noble and charming.

After breakfast, she and Cuihong followed their cousin to the main courtyard hall, greeted the eldest uncle and aunt, and prepared to go out.

Before going out, the eldest aunt suddenly grabbed her cousin's hand, glanced at Tang Shaohe obliquely, and whispered: "Don't make jokes when you go to the Qi Palace, and don't tell people that she is your sister." ”

Tang Shaohe lowered his head silently, the eldest aunt is really true, she just told her that she didn't have to go out of the house, why should she deceive herself here?

"Mother, my daughter knows." Tang Shaoying nodded impatiently, and took Tang Shaohe and Cui Hong into the carriage together.

In less than half an hour, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Qi Palace, and there were two stone lions standing on the left and right sides, and the big red lacquer door slowly opened.

A middle-aged grandmother came to greet her and said with a light smile: "Miss Tang, you are finally here, the county lord is waiting for you to come over." ”

"Mama Lao Li is leading the way." Tang Shaoying responded with a smile, and stuffed a red envelope into her casually, at first Mama Li was a little prevaricated, but then she took it easily.

Mama Li gently pinched the red envelope, knowing that it was rich, she couldn't help but smile, "Don't bother, Miss Tang is polite, please come with the old man." ”

The three of them followed all the way, Tang Shaohe didn't expect that the scale of the Qi Palace's Mansion would be so grand, much larger than the Anning Hou Mansion, and the architectural layout here is regular, the craftsmanship is exquisite, the pavilions and pavilions are handed over to each other, surrounded by mountains and rivers, magnificent, and a little dizzying.

After a while, they came to a huge garden, where all kinds of chrysanthemums were planted, red, yellow, white, green, and purple, with bright colors and fragrant fragrances.

Tang Shaohe looked at this large chrysanthemum garden, letting the colorful colors impact her vision, she relaxed, stood among the chrysanthemum flowers, and her smile was as bright as a flower on her face.

When she came back to her senses, she found that her cousin and the others had gone somewhere, so she hurried forward, and after turning left and right along the corridor, she came to an arch.

She poked left and right at the door, wondering if to go in and look for her, when she was caught by one of the guards, but heard him ask, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up and get out, you can't come and go here. ”

Seeing this, she had no choice but to ask for help: "May I ask where the county lord is banqueting the official daughters?" I got lost with my young lady ......"

"It's in the Peach Blossom Pavilion next to the Chrysanthemum Garden, you turn left on this road, and then turn right three more corners to get there." The guard kindly replied.

"Thank you!" Tang Shaohe thanked him and hurriedly trotted towards the Peach Blossom Pavilion, but was scolded by a grandmother who came on: "Everyone is busy now, but you are hanging out here!" Don't hurry up and do something for me! ”

Tang Shaohe hurriedly explained, "Mama misunderstood, the slave maid is not from the Qi Palace, but the maid next to Miss Tang, please let go." ”

However, no matter how she explained, the grandmother seemed to be deaf, and no matter how loud her voice was, the grandmother seemed to have not heard it, and only blindly dragged her into the kitchen of the palace.

"You can help here first, and I'll arrange for you to do the rest later." As soon as Mama finished speaking, she quickly left.

Tang Shaohe looked speechlessly at the cooks in the kitchen who were busy one by one, but even so, she didn't come here to do hard labor! If my cousin can't find her, I don't know how to toss her when I go back? It's better to get out of here quickly, so as not to cause more trouble.

Thinking so, she hurried to the door, but saw the deaf grandmother fall back again, and she was so frightened that she hurried back to the cook, pretending to help deliver the ingredients.

"Mama Liu, you are here, the prince said to send some snacks to the Water Pavilion Fang." A tall woman smiled and spoke respectfully, and said loudly to the grandmother: "Remember to be quick, the prince is still waiting for me to go back and reply, I'll go first." ”

Mama Liu nodded, turned around and ordered a cook to make snacks, and carefully instructed him that the prince didn't like it too sweet, so let him put less sugar.

Tang Shaohe noticed that the woman's voice was not loud, but Mama Liu just heard it, she looked at Mama Liu in wonder, and asked tentatively in a tone of the same volume: "Mama Liu, can you let the slave maid leave and go to the Peach Blossom Pavilion to find the slave's miss?" ”

Hearing this, Mama Liu's face changed slightly, and she said in a calm voice: "I know, but you have to send these pastries to the Water Pavilion first." If it's late, the prince blames it, and the old body is the only one who asks, do you hear clearly? ”

"Hear me clearly, the slave and maid will pass." Tang Shaohe secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he just sent some pastries, and then went to find his cousin, so it would be fine, right?

Mama Liu personally put the dim sum into the food box, carefully handed it over to Tang Shaohe, and said with a serious expression: "Be careful, don't break it." ”

Tang Shaohe promised loudly, walked out of the kitchen with the food box in both hands, and sighed lightly, finally able to leave.
