"Sister Shan, you little fool, since the county lord of Shuoyun is now married to Cousin Hong, then of course we should call the county lord sister-in-law, sister-in-law, right?" But Xu Mingwen looked at the pretty face of the county lord of Shuoyun, but she winked at her mischievously and said.

"Oh~~~ sister-in-law." And Xu Youshan also reacted to the Shuoyun County Lord, deliberately elongating her voice and calling sweetly.

But this time, it was the turn of the county lord of Shuoyun to be silent, but he continued to blush, which made everyone in the room laugh, including Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi, who were arguing, and stopped and went directly to this side.

The atmosphere in the house was also harmonious and harmonious at this time, and the lord of Shuoyun also lost this interruption between Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, which made her originally have some strangeness and fear of the concept of her mother-in-law's family, but most of them were dissipated at this time. On the contrary, Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen originally wanted to ask the county lord of Shuoyun about some of the places they were curious about in such a grand marriage, but they were all forgotten in the laughter of everyone afterwards.

"Princess."

But just when everyone was very happy, a mother-in-law hurriedly walked in and whispered a few words in Rui's ear.

"When are you here?"

And Rui, who was still smiling lovingly, after the mother-in-law whispered to her, all the smiles on her face were gone, but there was a hint of heaviness.

"If you reply, it is estimated that the time for less than a cup of tea will come."

Rui's and this mother-in-law said something that Xu Youshan didn't understand, but they only needed to look at Rui's expression at this time. Xu Youshan and the others could also know that there was something bad, so everyone instantly quieted down. Quietly looked at Rui.

"Sister Rong, you three listen carefully." And just when everyone else was silent, including Xu Youshan, Rui suddenly turned to them and said, "I just received the news that the second concubine De and Xian are accompanying the queen mother to visit Yun'er here, but the drunkard in it does not mean to drink, so I don't need to say more." Now I will send you to take the path and leave. The three of you remember, if you still meet the Queen Mother on the way, then you will say that I am suddenly unwell. The situation is urgent, you have to hurry up and find your seventh uncle, do you know? ”

Rui solemnly instructed Xu Youshan and the others, and after listening to Rui's words. Xu Youshan, they finally know what's going on - the two concubines of virtue and virtue are coming here. And they also brought the Queen Mother and her old man with them.

In the past few years, the relationship between the Queen Mother and the two concubines of De and Xian has made people look at flowers in a fog, and the more they look at it, the more they can't figure out what the relationship between them is. It is said that these three parties do not have any interest relationship, and there is no need for the Queen Mother to be involved in the calculation of the Xu family by the two concubines of virtue and virtue.

Just like this time, after the wedding of Qi Hong and the lord of Shuoyun County. Qi Hong had to go to the front to toast, and the princess of Beiding, Rui, had to come to visit the new bride of the county lord of Shuoyun. These are all rules, and they are all things that must be done. And Xu Mingcheng is now the princess of the Beiding Palace, of course, she will also follow the Rui family, but as soon as Xu Mingcheng comes, most of the three of Xu Youshan will come together. What's more, when they came to the apse just now, they were also witnessed by many people.

So in this case, the second concubine De and Xian actually took the queen mother to visit their grandchildren in the name of the queen mother at this time, and pulled the queen mother to visit the lord of Shuoyun together, this is not the drunkard's intention is not to drink, so what is it?

"Don't worry, aunt, we know what to do."

And Rui's instructions, Xu Youshan and the three of them heard it clearly, and now they are all responding with a serious face.

"Okay, good children, come, you will follow this Shi mother in a while, she will take you out." Rui Shi took Xu Yourong's hand and asked.

It happened so quickly that everyone was a little caught up in reacting, including the county lord of Shuoyun, who had been tossed all day and was now tired and sleepy. So when Mother Shi and Xu Youshan had already left for a while, the people in the room still didn't react.

Until the door sounded: "The Queen Mother, Concubine De, and Concubine Xian have arrived." ”

"The courtiers see the Queen Mother, see the Concubine De, and see the Virtuous Concubine." Everyone led by the Rui family saluted the three queen mothers who had just entered the door.

"No courtesy." The Queen Mother said.

"Empress Dowager Xie." Only then did Rui and the others get up.

As soon as the Queen Mother and the two concubines of virtue and virtue and virtue entered the house, they saw a room full of people saluting them, among which the Queen Mother was fine, and let them get up without much attention, but they stood on both sides of the Queen Mother, pretending to be virtuous and supporting the other two of the Queen Mother, but it was different, as soon as they entered the house, they swept the people in the house with their fiery eyes.

"Hey, why don't you see the three young ladies of the Xu family?" Concubine De asked first.

"Back to Concubine De's words, I don't know why you would ask like that." Rui said lightly.

"Oh. This is not anything, it's just that when the palace accompanied the queen mother and her old man to visit the lord of Shuoyun, I heard others talking about Miss Xu and they also came here with the princess, but now the palace didn't see the three young ladies of the Xu family here, so I just asked casually. Concubine De smiled shallowly.

"So that's the case, that's really a coincidence, Concubine De can hear passers-by talking casually, but to make Concubine De laugh, Sister Rong and they went back just now." Rui said lukewarmly.

"Well, how can this be, it's really unfortunate." But after Concubine De heard Rui say this, she just sighed lightly, and didn't say anything more, but looked at each other as if she had inadvertently collided with Concubine Xian's eyes, and then under the Queen Mother's cough, she helped her old man to sit down on the first seat.

But the more Concubine De and Concubine Xian had such calm and breezy expressions, the more Rui's heart felt that something was strange, so that his heart was a little restless.

"Princess Beiding, what are you doing, the Queen Mother is asking you." But when Rui had just thought about it, Concubine Xian just interrupted Rui's train of thought.

"The Queen Mother, please forgive your sins. What did you just ask me? ”

"It's nothing, the mourning family just asks you if Shuoyun's residence in the Beiding Mansion has been arranged?" The Queen Mother said nonchalantly.

"In your reply, everything is already in place. The new residence of Du Zhi and the lord of Shuoyun was personally selected by the old princess...... and in the following time, Concubine De and Concubine Xian sang and talked to Rui and others, and they were not idle for a moment.

*****

Between the apse and the nave of the Ronghua Palace, although there are only three main roads, but there are countless other short paths, which is the same as the popular garden architecture in general, and likes to take the quiet and secluded, and there is a different world.

Thus. When the second concubine of De, Xian and the queen mother suddenly arrived at the apse, Rui's immediately thought of asking Mother Shi to take Xu Youshan and the three of them to leave in the path.

But at this time, it had been a long time since they left the apse, and Xu Youshan and his party, who should have left the apse and arrived at the front hall. It's still in the range of the apse of the Ronghua Palace.

"Mother Shi, where the hell is this?" Xu Yourong frowned.

"Miss Rong's words, the old slave doesn't know, please forgive me." Mother Shi replied with a bitter face almost the same.

"Alas. You can't be blamed for that either. Who made it so dangerous just now, and almost had to meet the Queen Mother, and we had to change our route. It's just that now I've walked into this unknown path, and the winding path is deep and I can't see the bottom, and I really don't know what to do. Xu Yourong said worriedly.

And Xu Yourong's words are summed up in two words - lost.

Yes, Xu Youshan and the others were lost, and they were all fine at the beginning. Mother Shi also led them to the established path, and it would not take long to reach the boundary between the apse and the middle hall of the Ronghua Palace, beside the lake. But when Xu Youshan and the others were full of joy and thought that they had avoided the Queen Mother and the two concubines of De and Xian. Not far from the left front, there was a group of people, and under the illumination of the glass palace lamp carried by the palace maid in front of the line, Xu Youshan and the others were surprised to find that it was the queen mother.

This really scared a few people almost stunned, if it weren't for Mother Shi and Mother Liu hurriedly pulling them and hiding on another path covered by a row of apricot trees next to them, it is estimated that Xu Youshan and the three would have already collided with them.

But although they avoided meeting with the Queen Mother, Xu Youshan and his party hurriedly walked down the unfamiliar path in order to avoid it thoroughly, thinking that as long as they passed here, they would just walk back the same way. But this path is mostly forks and side branches, and when Xu Youshan and the others feel that they have gone far enough to stop and rest and rest, they look back and find that it is bad.

Such an intricate path, not to mention that they don't know and are not familiar with it, even if some of them are familiar with this path, it is estimated that it will take a long time when they go out, not to mention that no one knows about them now.

"Sister Rong is right, there is no way to do it, but it is not a matter to spend it here all the time, especially just now we have been walking around for a while, I am afraid that we have already deviated from the original route, and it is already so late at this time, my uncle and grandmother don't know what the situation is now, if we wait for the family to come to us, I am afraid that we will only look in one direction and take a walk." Xu Mingwen pondered for a while and said.

"Sister Shan, what do you think?" Xu Yourong felt that what Xu Mingwen said made sense, but she still had to ask for other people's opinions.

"I'll listen to you." But Xu Youshan was old.

"Mother Shi, Mother Liu, what do you think?" Xu Yourong poked Xu Yourong's little head with a funny and angry face, and then asked Shi's mother and the others.

"Miss Sister-in-law is right, we have really walked around just now, and it makes no difference whether we continue to walk now, but this weather is cold, and it is the most dangerous if we want to stay where we are all the time, so the old slaves also agree with Miss Sister-in-law's idea." Mother Shi and Mother Liu said.

"Alright, let's set a direction." Since everyone is on the same page, they are all ready to set a direction and hit the road.

But walk, go, Xu Youshan and they have been looking for a direction for a long time, but they are still trees except for trees, and everywhere they can reach are verdant and towering, flowers and trees are sparse, and although these are rare and good scenery in the eyes of Xu Youshan and them in the past. But if it is placed in the current situation of cold wind and uncertain future, then they can really only live up to this good scenery.

"Sister Wu, Sister Shan. Look, isn't that the lake we passed by when we first went to the apse, and the winter fus in the lake are the only ones to be seen here. ”

But just when everyone was a little silent. Xu Yourong's sudden shout shocked everyone's spirits, and the surprise in Xu Yourong's shout also made other people can't help but follow the prestige.

Not far away, between the faintly exposed gaps of trees and flowers, it was indeed possible to see a piece of water color from the position where Xu Youshan and her group were, and the delicate winter fu on the water color. It is even more eye-catching, so that they can also see the beauty of those winter fus in a place not close to there.

"Yes. That's it, let's get over there. ”

And when everyone saw the lake clearly, they all sped up and rushed away, without a moment's delay. But when everyone rushed to the lake with joy on their faces. Everyone's faces were stunned.

"It's confused, too." Xu Youshan looked at what she thought was just a small lake. But when it turned out to be a large lake that was hidden deep and covered a wide area, I couldn't help but sigh.

When Xu Youshan and the others went to the apse of the Ronghua Hall to visit the lord of Shuoyun with the princess of Beiding, Rui and others, they passed by the lake in front of them, but at that time, when they looked from the small bridge, they only felt that this lake was just a small lake suitable for the occasion, or it was purely to show off those rare winter fus. But this is not the case, not only is this lake not for the occasion and to show off those winter fus, but also maybe this hall of glory is built around it.

Because. In the place where Xu Youshan and the others are now, they can roughly see the whole picture of this lake, which meanders through the first two-thirds of the Dongfu Queen. Behind is most of the surface of this lake, which occupies an extremely considerable area, and although Xu Youshan and the others have found this lake now, the place where they are located is far away from the place where they admired this lake on the small bridge just now.

"But it's not too bad, at least we've found our way, as long as we go down this lake, even if we go around in a big circle, we'll get out anyway." Xu Mingwen suddenly said happily.

"Yes, sister-in-law is right, we now know how to go." Xu Yourong also smiled.

Yes, the situation is much better now than the previous clueless and walking around. Xu Youshan and Liu's mother glanced at each other, and also felt that the current situation was not too bad, and even a very good situation. The others felt the same way, so the atmosphere instantly improved, and everyone supported each other, and after setting the direction of the east, they walked down together.

"This is really an endless road, I didn't expect that we would be able to find this place after we got lost." Xu Yourong held Wan'er's hand and said in a relaxed tone to Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen next to her.

"Then it depends on Sister Rong, your sharp eyes." Xu Mingwen said with a smile.

"That's it." And Xu Yourong replied modestly: "So, Sister Wu, Sister Shan, you have to remember my life-saving kindness to you today, and you must repay the grace of dripping water in the future." ”

"Eldest sister, can you not be so cheeky, this lake is so big, even if you didn't see it just now, we won't just ignore it, just walk by." Now everyone is relieved, and the mood is also very happy, so Xu Youshan is now directly teasing her without giving Xu Yourong face.

"Poof"

And it was rare for Xu Youshan to be so honest that everyone else laughed out loud for a while, but Xu Yourong was the only one who pretended to be angry and said: "Sister Shan, your wings are hard, right?" See if I don't clean you up. ”

"Hey, hey, big sister, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth...... Ah, sister-in-law, help! ”

"Hahaha......"

A burst of laughter, under the reflection of this moonlight, seems more tranquil and deep beside the lake a small uproar, but at this time it is a cold winter, the winter wind is biting, even if the flowers on both sides of the lake are rare in this cold to compete for beautiful bloom, but in the constant winter wind sweeping, there will always be so many petals on the withering, or carried away by the wind, leaving bare branches.

Just like the large clump of antler begonias not far in front of Xu Youshan and them, although they are also blooming and luxuriant, on a few special branches, the begonia petals are withered. Only the green leaves are still there, and the moonlight seems to be particularly bright this night, when it falls down. It is just that the delicate antlers and begonias are more and more demure and charming like a lady. Even the few bare branches without petals glowed strangely with a silver glow.

"Wait."

And just when the moon was full, Liu's mother's smiling face suddenly condensed, stopping Xu Youshan and their footsteps.

"Mother Liu, what's wrong?" Xu Youshan and Chu Dai were the first to turn around and look at Liu's mother and asked.

"Oh, nothing. It's just that the old slave is a little old, and this hand and foot are a little unfavorable, Second Miss. Why don't we just rest where we are for a while? When Xu Youshan looked at her, Mother Liu first winked at her gently, and then Mother Liu leaned over and hung her legs, looking tired.

"Sister Shan. What's wrong? At this time, it was Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen, who were already at the forefront. After hearing Xu Youshan's voice, she naturally stopped.

"It's okay, it's just that Mother Liu is tired, it's a cold day, I'm afraid we'll be walking like this for three moments, and it's time to rest." Xu Youshan turned her head and smiled casually.

If you talk about Liu's mother, who knows her best here. That should definitely push Xu Youshan. Therefore, after Liu's mother just blinked her eyes lightly at Xu Youshan, Xu Youshan's heart suddenly woke up. Because Mother Liu is not an ordinary mother-in-law, compared to others, Mother Liu's eyesight and ear power are much better. And since Liu's mother has made a warning action to her, it shows that there is a problem around her now.

"Tired of walking? Mother Liu, why don't you hold on for a while, seeing that this is about to go out, let's hold on for a while. Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen glanced at each other, although they didn't understand why Liu's mother would ask for a rest now, but they still proposed to wait until they got out of here before taking a good rest.

"Miss, ......" And since Xu Yourong said so, Mother Liu can only find other excuses to drag them down, but what should she say?

Just when Liu's mother was a little short of words, Xu Youshan suddenly took over Liu's mother's words and said: "Ouch, I can't walk anymore, I can't walk anymore, it's cold and windy this day, we've been walking for a while, and I'm a little hungry." Eldest sister and sister-in-law, why don't we stop and rest for a while. Xu Youshan was entangled with Xu Yourong and Xu Ming.

"You."

As soon as Xu Youshan came out, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen didn't say much, they walked over directly from the front, and first pinched Xu Youshan's little face that was blown red by the cold wind, and then said: "I just said that Mother Liu is a mother-in-law who understands martial arts, how can it be that my sister and I haven't shouted tired yet, she shouted tired first, it turns out that you are a little squeamish ghost who is making trouble." ”

"That's it, just say it when you're tired, little squeamish." Xu Mingwen also twisted Xu Youshan's red ears.

"Yes, yes, what the two sisters said is too true." And Xu Youshan was first taken aback by Xu Yourong's words, but after a meal, she reacted immediately, and because Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen, who were facing her, were about half a head taller than her, they just blocked all the winter winds blowing from the front, not to mention, and at the same time, they also blocked all the eyes from the front, so that they couldn't see Xu Youshan's expression at this time.

"Eldest sister, sister-in-law, listen to me, Mother Liu can see that there is a problem ahead, and we can't continue to walk." And taking advantage of this excellent opportunity, Xu Youshan immediately said to Xu Yourong and Xu Ming.

"What?"

Xu Youshan's words can be described as earth-shattering, the startled Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen almost stumbled, but the two of them are still psychologically strong people after all, and finally stabilized quietly, and asked Xu Youshan: "What's wrong ahead?" ”

"I don't know, but Mother Liu and I were in that small garden before, when we bumped into His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince plotting together, we said it in advance, and if she found something wrong later and couldn't explain it clearly, she would make a secret to me. And just now, Liu's mother just used the excuse of resting to make a secret signal to me. Xu Youshan told Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen everything carefully. (To be continued......)
