When I returned to Yan's house, it was the middle of the day, and the originally spacious courtyard was piled up with large bundles of fresh herbs such as mugwort leaves and calamus, and there was a fresh smell of plants.

Zhu Yan was stunned for a moment, as if she remembered that when Xu Suzhen taught her to identify herbs that year, there was such a fresh smell of grass in the air around her...... If there is no Xu Silk Zhen, how can there be who you are now? Before going to the capital, they should probably have a good talk about Zhu Heng and her biological mother.

"Ah Yan, what are you thinking?" Yuan Rin noticed her distraction, and quietly leaned over and pinched her hand, "As soon as you come back, you can't give up, and you're tired of walking the mountain road?" ”

"It's not ......" Zhu Yan shook his head, unwilling to say more.

As soon as the two walked into the porch, a young woman dressed as a woman walked out of the main hall with a short body, and when she looked up to meet a pair of strange young men and women in front of her, she was stunned for a moment, and then turned her back in a panic and whispered, "The master instructed the slave to take care of the Dragon Boat Festival, and I don't want to have guests here." ”

"Are you ......?" Zhu Yan glanced at her curiously, this woman was delicate, with a tulle half-arm on her body, a peach-colored silk skirt underneath, three or four colorful five-colored strands on her exposed forearms, and a hairpin on her black hair was also very gorgeous, and she would definitely not be a housekeeper.

The woman still turned her back shyly and muttered without answering.

Yan Xing walked over with Cang'er at the side door and bowed to the two, "Yuan Gongzi is so interested, I heard that he took Miss Zhu to Yuling to collect medicine early in the morning, but it is more interesting than us laymen." ”

After saying that, he raised an eyebrow at the shy woman again. "This is the son of the Yuan family in Jingzhong, this is Miss Zhu, I told you before. Don't avoid it. ”

The woman turned around at this time, did not dare to look up at her gaze, and shyly clasped her sleeves in salute.

Zhu Yan still didn't understand what the identity of this woman was, and stared at her, just as she also raised her head curiously, and when the two looked at each other, Zhu Yan didn't feel anything. She was so ashamed that her neck was red.

Yan Xing naturally saw her embarrassed scene, and shook his head secretly, as if he suddenly remembered something. Sideways head and instructed Cang'er, "I remember ordering the cook to steam the zongzi, why has it been a long time, and it is still not good?" Xanthella. You go to the kitchen and urge it. Oh, Colorwisp, you can go there too. ”

The woman called "Colorful Wisps" seemed to have received amnesty, and hurriedly turned around with Cang'er.

After their clothes swept around the corner, Yan Xing smiled awkwardly at the two of them, "Caiwei is the concubine I redeemed half a year ago, and now Fang is fifteen years old, and he is very shy when he sees people. But I think she's pretty smart on weekdays. I wanted her to help with the cooking affairs, just in time for this Dragon Boat Festival to give it a try. I don't want to make a mistake the first time, so that the two of them will laugh. ”

"Ransom?" Zhu Yanzui asked quickly, and then thought that this Yan Xing had a close relationship with the woman in Qinglou, so he probably went there to redeem it? I really regret that I didn't say this.

Yan Xing didn't care, only smiled faintly, "Caiwi was originally a little girl who played the pipa, I think she is smart and well-behaved, and her manners are elegant, not the kind of flattering temperament, which ransomed her back." ”

Zhu Yan nodded, secretly wondering in his heart, hearing him say this, doesn't it seem that he is not an unscrupulous womanizer...... It's pretty ...... Love elegance?

"However, Yan Gongzi, since Miss Caiwei was originally a kabuki, why are you so shy when you see people?" Zhu Yan remembered that he just glanced at her, and he shamed her into such a cute look, and he was really puzzled.

Yuan Rin frowned and glanced at her, "Most of the young girls are like this, you yourself are not ashamed, do you still need everyone to be like you?" ”

"Eh, that's me, right?" Zhu Yan flickered, looked at Yuan Rin, and then at Yan Xing, and saw that they all had positive expressions, a little sullen, and muttered complainingly, "Then why don't you say it?" ”

Yan Xing pursed her lips and chuckled, most of the girls who have not left the cabinet and those young women who have not been married for a long time are very shy, even if they are like colorful wisps, but the good ones are also avoided, so she has been reluctant to turn around. If you say that you don't shy away from people when you see them, except for those women who make a living by selling laughter, it is really difficult to find, but Zhu Yan is natural and frank, there is no disrespect at all, and there is no reason not to make people feel bright.

Seeing that there was a smile in their expressions, Zhu Yan couldn't help but sulk, it turned out that the first impression he gave people was exposed? It was futile from the beginning to have worked so hard to cover it up for so long...... But she really can't make the look of being half dead with shame, can you blame her?

"That's it, why should Miss Zhu bother with these things, I think Miss has another attitude, which is much more interesting than those shy and timid girls." Yan Xing waved his hand, "There is already realgar wine and some pastries in the side hall, the two of you go there to rest for a while, those cooks are busy wrapping rice dumplings today, and I'm afraid that the lunch will be late." ”

Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows, what Yan Xing said in the first half of the sentence seemed to be a little wrong? But why didn't Yuan Rin have any expression at all?

She didn't think much about it at all, but Yuan Rin already understood that Yan Xing wanted her to help with the affairs because of the colorful wisps of intelligence, but deliberately wanted to straighten her out, so she was called out, it seemed that he had broken off his thoughts about Zhu Yan, so there was no need to pretend for his jokes.

Xingba was sitting in the side hall, holding a rattan food box in one hand and concentrating on the various shapes of pastries on the table in the other.

Zhu Yan didn't expect this girl to be here alone, so she stepped forward to tease her, "Xingye, are you stealing food here?" ”

"Huh?" Xingye put down the work at hand, raised her eyes and smiled, "Miss, you are back!" Where are you going to have fun, and you don't take me with you, and you're still making fun of me? ”

"Let's go to the mountains, the road is difficult, there are many insects, what's the fun?" Zhu Yan shook her head, if Yuan Rin hadn't dragged her there, how would she be willing to make this trip?

Xingye wrinkled her brows, glanced at Yuan Rin, and rolled her eyes slyly, "With Gongzi with you, it's fun to go anywhere, and you lie to me." ”

“…… It's just a matter of talking about it here, don't talk nonsense in front of people. Yuan Rin stopped lightly.

"So there are times when you can't listen to it?" Zhu Yan smiled instead, "It can be seen that this girl is messing around, it's not that I'm too picky." ”

Xingye flattened her mouth and disagreed very much, "Uncle and Miss are bullying people, leaving me here to deal with the people of Beiliu Village, and they will find fault with me when they come back, isn't it crossing the river and demolishing the bridge?" (To be continued......)
