Chapter 53: Seclusion

It's the depths of winter, and the delicate peonies have always withered and dried up in this season.

The peony fields that stretched to the horizon in all directions appeared in the eyes of Old Madam Qi and Mama Lu, and there were even blooming flowers.

Mrs. Qi easily opened the hand holding Mama Lu, and walked on the bluestone path in the sea of flowers, there was a glass wind lantern every other zhang on the path, all of which were hung by green bamboo, five feet from the ground, but the lights were soft and bright, and Mrs. Qi looked at it strangely, and knew that the wind lanterns were originally night pearls.

Yes, Xu Xi cherishes this flower field so much, how could he put lights in the flowers, and all of them will be burned out in one accident.

Mrs. Qi walked to a peony that was still blooming, bent down a little to look, and through the soft light of the night pearl reflected on the petals, it was incredibly beautiful.

"As soon as Yao Huang opened, everyone was glamorous."

Mama Lu, who had been following behind Old Madam Qi, understood: "It turned out to be Yao Huang." ”

"Hmm. But how can it bloom in winter...... No, it's not Yao Huang. "Old Madam Qi carefully touched its pure white petals, and if she didn't look carefully, under this glazed wind lantern night pearl, she really thought that they exuded a pale yellow light." What is it? ”

"Why don't you call Pei Bai over and ask?" Mama Lu proposed.

Old Madam Qi was stunned when she heard this, so she smiled and said, "Okay." ”

Here, looking at every peony that seemed to shine under the moonlight and pearl, Mrs. Qi seemed to be leisurely, not wanting to care about the people lying in the room, nor the people who were still kneeling in the main room

After a while, Pei Bai followed Mama Lu over, "Old lady." He saluted.

"Get up." Old Madam Qi asked him, "Who is cultivating this flower field?" ”

Mama Lu didn't say what Mrs. Qi was looking for him, and Pei Bai didn't expect Mrs. Qi to call him just to ask about this.

Ke Peibai still said respectfully: "Back to the old lady's words, this is a flower farmer surnamed Fan who the old man found in the people to be responsible for raising him, but this old man Fan is not from our house, he only comes once a month, and stays for six days each time." During these six days, he would carefully check each acre of flower fields for any problems, and if there were no problems, he would leave after six days. But if there was a problem, he would stay in Shen Palmetto and take care of the sick peonies until the day they were fine. "Although the old lady Qi is no longer in charge now, as long as you have a position in the Xu Mansion, you will find that in fact, the old lady has always been the same as the old lady, and she is the first to give instructions in the Xu family. So Pei Bai answered in great detail.

"Oh? There is also such a one. "Folk Duoqi people, she also knows when she arrives.

Old Madam Qi was wearing a Yuelan pleated Luo skirt today, but the corners of the skirt had already been stained with mud and blackened. But she still walked towards the depths of the sea of flowers, "Do you know what is going on with these few peonies that can still bloom in winter?" Old Madam Qi asked with interest,

Pei Bai followed two steps behind Mama Lu, "Back to the old lady's words, Pei Bai is not very clear, but occasionally listened to the old man and Uncle Fan when they heard it, this is when Uncle Fan was invited by an old friend to appreciate a rare flower, he found that it was a peony that bloomed in winter. Uncle Fan was shocked and begged his friends to give him this peony to cultivate, and then slowly raised one or two peonies that can bloom in winter, but the survival rate is still very low. ”

"That's right..."

Old Madam Qi followed the bluestone path and wanted to continue walking, but someone came in the distance and said, "Old Madam, the Shen Wu family has arrived." ”

The smile froze on her face, and Old Madam Qi turned around and walked back, "Well, bring her to the backyard." ”

After a while, Qingwu took the Shen Wu family to the backyard, and the Shen Wu family saluted the old lady Qi first: "Old lady." ”

"Hmm." Old Madam Qi replied and said to Pei Bai, "You should retreat first." ”

Pei Bai said: "Yes, old lady. ”

Pei Bai bowed and retreated, and on the way to the front yard, he saw many more stout mothers-in-law guarding both sides of the road.

In the backyard, Mrs. Qi sat on the stone chair in front of the flower field, Mama Lu served on the side, and the Shen Wu family stood in front of Mrs. Qi slightly bent over.

"I'm going to Shen Wu to check in the morning, the situation of Aunt Gu's mother's house, how is Shen Wu checking?" Old Madam Qi asked.

"Back to the old lady, he has only found out so far that Aunt Gu's father was introduced by the master a few years ago, and Ruan Conghan, the head of the household department, got on the line, and then found a right envoy position for his eldest son Gu Ze in Zhongshu Province, and went to the side of the saint on an errand. It is said that he is clever and eloquent, and can speak well; He was quite liked by the saints, and in this spring, he was even appointed to enter the household department and served as a member of the Duzhi Langzhong, and the saint was in the middle of the house. Shen Wujia replied.

No wonder - Hubu Shangshu Ruan Conghan is the nephew of Zhongshu Ling Fang Yong.

"It's good to find out, you don't have to continue. From now on, you can send two people to guard the second gate and the back door, except for the person who is holding the sign to do things, the rest of the people and things are not allowed to enter and leave at will. Old Madam Qi said coldly.

The Shen Wu family responded with a compliment.

At this time, Qingwu, who was guarding the intersection, came to report: "Old lady, the old lady is back." ”

"So fast?" Old Madam Qi flicked the fallen leaves and soil that were also stained on her cuffs, got up, and walked towards the front yard.

"The slave and maid don't know, but the person in front of me came to report that Imperial Doctor Liang had left the house." Qingwu said.

While the group was talking, they had already walked to the front yard, only to see Xu Rong standing alone in the place where Mrs. Qi was stunned.

"You're in the backyard?" The old lady Xu Rong spoke first.

Old Madam Qi politely bowed to him before replying, "Well, I took a look." ”

"Is there anything special?"

"Fortunately, only a few of them are a little better."

"Yes."

"Hmm."

No matter how you look at it, it's definitely not a good time to chat, but the two of you are talking to me, not particularly warm, but they can also talk to each other. Mama Lu next to her didn't have any special expressions, as if this was the most normal thing.

"What did Imperial Doctor Liang say?"

"I can't say, the injury is indeed hurt, but the timing is too good."

"And what are you going to do?"

"There is no evidence, so he can only be sent to the hospital."

"Can he still enter the Migration House now?" In the Governor of Heaven after the ancestor, the actual power is still above the Imperial Court, and the eyes of the public are also very understandable, after having the eldest son of the world's great joke, it is a miracle that Xu Xi can still ascend to the position of the governor of the Heavenly Mansion.

"......" But Xu Rong suddenly smiled at her, and said quietly: "You are very tolerant of him." ”
