The weather is so hot that people panic, the scorching sun shines down, as if the water in the human body is drained away, the bonsai placed under the corridor looks sluggish, even if it is watered, it will wilt after a while, and the cicadas that used to be noisy are also honest, occasionally chirping one or two times, and it is not as annoying as in the past.

"It's been a hot day, how long has it been since it rained?"

"It seems that there was a light rain just a few days ago, and the ground stopped before it got wet......

"Alas, if this continues, I am afraid that the crops will die of drought."

"I heard that the west is even more severe, and the land is drought, and many people have begun to prepare to escape the famine."

This is a big or small matter, and the man said it clearly, and I don't know where he heard it.

"Really? Flee from famine? "If God doesn't give you food, where can you escape?

"It's not true, my family has relatives over there, and I only followed their letter a few days ago, saying that the crops are not growing well, and this year I am afraid that there will be no harvest, and the grass will not grow much further west.

"Yo, then your relatives are going to come to you when they are desperate?"

The man sighed, "I'm afraid you're coming, aren't you?" Serious relatives, you can't watch them starve to death, right? Although our Taizhou is also dry, but it has not yet reached that point, maybe we can wait for the rain slowly, and when they come, they can work to earn some money, and they can barely survive, and when the days are good, they can go back. ”

"My sister-in-law is a kind-hearted person, and it is difficult to leave her homeland, if she can't live, who wants to leave her hometown!"

"Who's to say it isn't!"

The two mothers-in-law hid in the shade, looking at the dazzling sunlight outside and talking, there was not a trace of wind in the air, and it was so hot that people had no strength at all.

This thief, God, why doesn't it rain at all?

The grass-blue gauze curtain in the upper room was lifted, and a twenty-eight-year-old girl walked out. She wears a coral bead flower on her head, a tangle tied to the end of her hair tied to broken jade, she is wearing a narrow-sleeved summer shirt of eighty percent new pink silk, and a dark green cocoon silk skirt embroidered with lotus leaves underneath. Ruyi looked at the door twice, and beckoned to the two mothers-in-law resting in the shade, "You two come here." ”

The two mothers-in-law glanced at each other, and hurriedly took the pu fan in their hands and walked down the corridor, and their bodies fell into the shadows. Flattering: "Ruyi girl." What's the matter? ”

The other said coldly: "It's not that the old slaves have broken mouths." Got the third lady? ”

Well, this is a terrible sin.

Ruyi only said: "Come into the house, Miss has something to ask you two." Then he turned around and walked back into the house.

The two mothers-in-law looked at each other, probably not knowing what to do. Why did the third lady suddenly have something to ask them! They are the mother-in-law who does rough work in this yard, what does the third lady want to say to these two rough mothers-in-law? The two of them were very worried for a while, and they became more and more uneasy!

If the two of them didn't follow, they immediately said: "What, let me still make a curtain for you?" ”

"Don't dare, where dare you work girl."

The two mothers-in-law trembled up the steps, cautiously followed Ruyi into the house, and the three of them walked through the middle hall and came to the outer room. I only felt that the temperature in the house had dropped several notches suddenly, and the sun outside was like fire, but there was a sense of coolness in the house, as if it had filled people's pores with water in an instant, so unpleasant.

The two mothers-in-law bowed their heads cautiously. But as long as you raise your eyelids slightly, you can see that there are huge porcelain basins in the four corners of the room, and the ice in them is still cold, and from a distance, it looks like a puff of white smoke.

What a big deal!

In the end, the identity is different, and the treatment of the third lady who has become a concubine has naturally come up, there is an ice cellar in Qin Mansion, but this ice used to be, I am afraid that it will not be her turn to use it.

There is a beauty half-lying on the couch, with long black hair like satin draped behind her head at will, she is wearing a glutinous beige as the base, a shirt embroidered with a brush and ink landscape pattern on the top, and a skirt of the same color and style under it, I don't know what the name of this material is, just looking at it will know that it is not ordinary, the smooth Cheng dù is only afraid that it is better than the first-class cocoon silk, and it also has a rare luster. The beauty's head is bare, and there is no jewelry at all, only a jade bracelet on her wrist that is dripping green, which makes the beauty's skin white and flawless.

This beauty is not Qin Daixin, who else?

The two mothers-in-law took their thoughts and saluted Qin Daixin, who was sitting on the couch.

Qin Dai snorted in her heart, and then sat up.

Chunli was sitting on the footbed, fanning Qin Daixin for a while, and when she saw her young lady getting up, she hurriedly stepped forward to help her, and put a pillow behind her, which was the end.

Qin Daixin's gaze fell on the two mothers-in-law, and she only said, "Fang is the two of you chatting in the courtyard?" ”

The two mothers-in-law hurriedly knelt on the ground, and kept chattering, "Miss forgiveness, the two of us were quick to talk for a while, and they said some gossip, but it disturbed Miss to rest, and Miss forgave her sins." "I can't stop kowtowing while talking.

Qin Dai's rules are very large, and it is forbidden for subordinates to make loud noises in the courtyard on weekdays, even if there is something important, you have to calm down, if there is an unsightly trouble, you must be severely punished. These two mothers-in-law are also well-behaved on weekdays, since the weather is too hot today, the doors and windows are open in the upside down, but it is still hot like a steamer, the two finished the work in their hands, and found a shady place to chat a few words of homely things, I don't want to be listened to by the young lady.

Qin Dai knew that she was scaring the two of them, so she said: "Get up and speak, I don't want to blame you, but I heard you say that there is a severe drought in the west, so I became curious and wanted to ask, is there really a drought in the west?" Is this serious? ”

When the two mothers-in-law heard this, they couldn't help but be stunned, glanced at each other, and then got up.

It's just that he didn't dare to be presumptuous, and he still stood there trembling.

The appearance of the third lady losing her temper that day, they had seen it, whether it was the appearance of her confronting Qin Fengge when the lady gave birth to the two young masters, or the appearance of her fighting the Fang clan and hitting the eldest lady later, it was all impressive. I can't forget it.

Qin Daixin only said: "Whose relatives live in the west, what did the letter say?" ”

One of the mothers-in-law wearing a blue hexagram stepped forward and said softly: "Hui, back to the third lady's words, yes...... It was a relative of the slave's family who lived in the west, and the letter said that there was a great drought in the west, and their family would not be able to survive, so they would inevitably go to the slave and maid. ”

Qin Daixin glanced at her and asked with interest, "What did you say?" What kind of relative of your family. Why can't you live? ”

The mother-in-law saw that Qin Daixin did not have the slightest sense of blame on her face. On the contrary, he looked excited. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, and secretly thought that maybe Miss wanted to have some fun! Thinking about it like this, people relaxed, and the words slipped smoothly.

"It's a distant relative of the slave's mother's family. Although the blood is not close or close, but the relationship is not bad, my cousin left home since he was a child to go to the west, and then settled there. My cousin was raised in my house when he was young, probably consciously under the fence, so he always ate less and worked more. It was my cousin who sucked the poisonous blood for the slave and maid regardless of life or death, and the slave and maid picked up a life! Now that my cousin's family is in trouble, the slave and maid can't ignore it. ”

Qin Daixin nodded secretly, "You have a conscience, how is the situation over there now?" Did your cousin mention it in the letter? ”

The woman said, "I heard that there hasn't been a drop of rain since the New Year. The crops planted at home have all died of drought, and I am afraid that I will not be able to harvest any of the grain. The slave and maid cousin depends on the sky for food, if the year is bad, harvest forty percent of the crops can barely survive, now one percent of the grain can not be harvested, if you do not flee the famine, I am afraid that I will be starved to death. ”

Qin Dai groaned in her heart, and said, "Where does your cousin's family live, and how far is it from Wana?" ”

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "This, the slave maid only knows that my cousin's family lives in a place called Mao County in the west, and their village is called Shiliqi, and the slave and maid don't know anything else." ”

Qin Daixin nodded, this is also reasonable.

As she was talking, Ruyi came in with a bowl of chilled plum juice, and she was blessed by Qin Dai's heart, and only said, "Miss, the big kitchen has sent plum juice." ”

On such a hot day, how pleasant would it be to drink a sip of chilled plum juice? Just thinking about it fills my mouth.

Qin Daixin only said: "Reward her!" After saying this for a long time, I was afraid that my mouth would be dry, so I drank to moisten my throat. ”

Ruyi came over, and handed the open bowl with gold-painted peonies to the woman-in-law and said, "The third lady rewarded you, drink it!" ”

The woman was flattered, "This, how can this be made." ”

Qin Dai's heart was kind on the couch.

Ruyi whispered: "What, are you afraid that there is poison hidden in it?" ”

The woman was busy and didn't dare.

Ruyi stuffed the bowl into her hand and said: "Miss is tired, you can retreat, this plum juice has to be drunk cold to quench your thirst, and the ice in the bowl will be scattered after a while, I'm afraid it won't taste good." ”

The woman carefully took the bowl and quietly retreated with the other mother-in-law.

Ruyi looked at it, then glanced at Chunli and motioned for her to follow her out.

Chunli got up lightly and slowly retreated to the middle hall, the two of them glanced inside through the curtain, and saw that Qin Dai was thinking about her mind motionlessly, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sister Ruyi, what do you say Miss is doing to inquire about the west? If she wants to hear gonzo, she simply changes into men's clothes and listens to books, which is much better than an old woman's broken family letters. Chunli still doesn't know the depths, and when she speaks, the child's heart is undoubtedly revealed.

Ruyi glanced at Chunli, and it was hard to think that the child had survived in this back house without danger until now.

"Miss's mind is what you can guess? It's getting more and more unruly. Ruyi's heart pounded a few times, and she seemed to have vaguely guessed Qin Daixin's intentions......

Are you already leaving?
