The high mansion after the snow is covered in silver and unusually quiet.

A bright full moon hung lonely in the sky, and the bright moonlight poured down like mercury, and the sky and the earth seemed to be only white.

Lamei, Ziwei looked at the red lady and sighed in unison. Now that the young lady is in this mansion, it is really getting more and more difficult.

Ziwei was afraid that Miss would think too much, so she stepped forward and quipped: "Miss, today the slave maid went to the outer courtyard and heard an interesting story. ”

Gao Iris pondered and smiled faintly: "What's the matter?" ”

"The slave maid heard that a few days ago, Miss Song and Lin Xi from the General's Mansion had a fight in the shop selling inkstones!"

"Huh?"

When Gao Iris heard that it was Lin Xi, he hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Ziwei smiled: "I heard that Miss Song was bullying people and took a fancy to the inkstone in Lin Xi's hand. When Linsey didn't give it, she started beating people. ”

"Linxi, is she hurt?"

"It's not hurt, I heard that someone stopped me."

Lamei thought about Lin Xi's goodness, and sneered: "In broad daylight, I actually started it, what kind of lady is this?" ”

Ziwei said: "Who said it wasn't." It spread outside, saying that Miss Song's character could not be the last. ”

"Naturally, I am not worthy of being a queen, marrying a wife and marrying leisure, taking concubines, if such a person becomes a queen, is there still Ning Ri in the harem?" Lamei said disdainfully.

"If you want me to say, this queen's position should be like our young lady, who has a good family background, good appearance, good temper, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so that she is qualified to be in charge of the six palaces."

Lamei hurriedly pushed Ziwei and glared at her. Said: "You can't talk nonsense, if you don't get it right, you're going to cause trouble." ”

Gao Iris smiled faintly, and did not take the words of these two people to heart. The cold wind blows on the face, and it is extremely comfortable.

The heavy snow for days crushed the branches of the trees, as if they were about to break.

The high iris was naughty in his heart, and he put his hand on a camphor tree beside him, shook it twice, and the snow fell like poplars. Drenched three people with their heads and faces.

The high iris saw the appearance of two maids and wolves. Laughing back and forth, the turbidity that had been held in my heart for days was swept away.

Ziwei, Lamei has not seen Miss smile so happily for a long time. The heart is as long as the young lady is happy. Not to mention a little snow. Even if they are drenched in mud, they are also willing.

The three of them looked at each other in the snow, laughing heartily. But I saw a person walking out from behind the tree, and I saw him with snow on his body, his collar open, his hair slightly messy, a touch of rouge left on the corner of his mouth, and his face was full of anger.

Gao Iris hurriedly stopped laughing, and stepped forward to salute: "Second brother! ”

Gao Ziwei's eyes were gloomy, he glanced at her coldly, and said, "It's a cold day, and I actually came here to joke." The interest of the third sister is high. ”

After that, he glared at the two maids fiercely, pulled his neckline together, shook his body a few times, and left in a hurry.

The three masters and servants looked at each other, and there was suspicion in their eyes.

"Miss, it's not early, let's go back, be careful of freezing your body." Lamei glanced behind the tree, cleverly glanced at Ziwei, and carefully advised.

Ziwei looked at the dazed and overwhelmed Gao Iris, stepped forward to help her, and while dusting the snow for her, she said, "Miss, let's go back." ”

"Miss, there's someone behind the tree!"

A low sentence made Gao Iris's body tremble, his eyes swept lightly, and he deliberately said in a loud voice: "It's time to come back, help me quickly, this snow is slippery." ”

The three of them walked out a few feet high and one leg low, quietly hiding behind the big tree.

After a moment of silence in the garden, the sound of bustling Suo came out, and a beautiful woman wearing a small pink jacket walked out.

The moonlight shone on the young and beautiful face, and there was a look of panic.

It turned out to be her!

The hearts of the three people behind the tree sank at the same time, and their faces were terrified.

……

The high iris stood quietly under the porch, looking at the deep and shallow footprints in the courtyard, and said nothing.

Ziwei, Lamei Qiang held back the uneasiness in her heart and stood behind her. Second Young Master and Aunt Xiao Wang**, if this thing comes out, what kind of shocking waves should be set off in the house.

Lamei waited for a long time, afraid that Miss would freeze out and have a problem, so she whispered, "Miss, go back to the house." ”

Gao Iris let out a sigh, turned around and entered the house, sat on the chaise longue, stared at the two personal maidservants who followed and said, "No one is allowed to talk about today's affairs. ”

Ziwei, Lamei nodded, and the latter said, "Miss don't worry, the slaves and maids will keep it a secret." It's just that...... They are so unscrupulous, something will happen sooner or later. ”

Although there are not many people in the garden in the evening after the snow, there is no one left behind. If you are looked down upon, the consequences will be ...... The high iris did not dare to imagine.

As if his heart was pulled by something, Gao Iris's eyes were deep and said, "This is not something we can worry about." ”

……

It is said that since Song Xi returned home from the Moxiang Courtyard that day, he has stopped all his thoughts and lived behind closed doors.

After Du Shi saw that his daughter had gone out of the house, his mood gradually stabilized, and a hanging heart was finally put in place, and he freed up his hands to deal with the people who came to say goodbye.

Because it is a sure thing for the daughter of the Song family to enter the palace, everyone in the capital who has some face has sent congratulatory gifts.

Du Shi was too busy to care about things outside, so the rumors outside had not yet reached her ears for a while.

On this day, the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Labor, Xu Shi, came to the door.

Xu and Du are sisters, and they often come and go when they are not married. Since they got married, they have never broken off their love.

Xu Shi has always been straightforward and fast-talking, and because the two of them usually get together together, they have nothing to talk about, so they poured the gossip they heard in the past few days like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Xu Shi frowned and said: "It stands to reason that Xi'er and the illegitimate granddaughter of the Hou Mansion are people who can't be beaten with eight poles, why did they start because of an inkstone?" I'm wondering if it could be that villain, jealous that we are going to be the queen mother, so he used this trick? ”

Du was taken aback.

Lindsey?

A figure appeared in front of Du Shi's eyes, sitting beside the Queen Mother with a smile. There are two dimples on his lips, and a pair of black eyes are very smart. When the Queen Mother looked at her, she had a kind smile in her eyes.

Du's figure shook, and he grasped the corner of the table before he let his chaotic mind steady.

Xu Shi especially didn't know, and was still gossiping.

Du Shi lost his patience, found an excuse, sent the people away, and hurried into his daughter's yard.

Song Xi saw her mother come in to see her, and lazily stepped forward to salute.

Du Shi sent the maid. Quietly asked a few gossips. So he went straight to the point and asked about the ink fragrance shop.

Song Xi had a ghost in his heart, and squeaked and told a few lies, intending to prevaricate the past.

Du Shi saw her eyes flickering. The preamble does not match the afterword. My heart was half cold. Slam the table and make it kneel.

Du Shi is gentle and delicate, and has been married to the Song family for nearly 20 years. He had never lost his temper, but he was very angry, and when he came to her, he quickly disappeared.

This attack really surprised Song Xi, and she knelt down honestly.

"You're not telling the truth."

"Mother, my daughter is telling the truth." Song Xi said stiffly.

Seeing her holding on, Du Shi shouted: "Xiaoyue! ”

"The slave is here!"

"You went out with Miss that day, what did Miss do?"

Xiao Yue's face froze, she glanced at Miss out of the corner of her eye, lowered her head and squeaked, "Mrs. Hui, Miss...... Miss...... She...... Only walked around the street and didn't ......"

Du Shi saw her, "Someone is coming, tie up this maid!" ”

"Madame, ma'am!"

Xiao Yue kowtowed again and again: "Madame spare your life, Madame spare your life!" ”

Du Shi sneered: "If you want to live, you have to come out as soon as you can." ”

Satsuki was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground. One is a young lady who gets along day and night, and the other is a lady who holds her deed of sale, and neither end can be offended.

Song Xi didn't expect her mother to know about it, so she couldn't help biting her lip and said, "Mother, don't force her, I ...... it."

Du Shi didn't listen, and he trembled with anger when he heard it.

The daughter she raised, although she is more pampered and has a bigger temper, but she can always distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, who knows......

Du Shi trembled and said, "You...... You ......"

Before he finished speaking, the man leaned back, and his body went limp.

Song Xi was so frightened that his soul was scattered, and he hurriedly held on to his death, and poured half a cup of hot tea, and Du Shi woke up slowly.

Looking at the circle of people around him, Du Shi waved his hand, and the servants quickly dispersed, leaving only the mother and daughter in the room.

Song Xi knew that her mother was weak and couldn't move, so she softened and said: "Mother, don't be angry, it's my fault for this, I'll go back and accompany Lin Xi." ”

Du Shi looked at his daughter's delicate face, his chest seemed to be smashed by a stone, and his nose was sore, and tears rolled down.

"Child, do you know that this has spread outside, and your reputation ......?"

Du Shi turned his head away, and his face couldn't hide the disappointment.

"Your father and I only have one child for you, and I have pampered you in my hands since I was a child, and your father is even more at your heart in everything and everywhere, and he can't wait to hold all the treasures in the world in front of your eyes."

Song Xi cried and called: "Mother! ”

"You have someone in your heart, and your mother is happy in her heart, and she inquires carefully for you, and looks at each other secretly. Although your father was reluctant in his heart, he still followed your wishes and went to the Lin Mansion in person. But if the son of the world obeys, even if your father disobeys the will of the palace, he will make decisions for you. Which of the parents in this world is like me and your father, who does not care about your will. ”

Song Xi thought about his father who was far away in the bitter land of northern Xinjiang, and tears kept pouring out.

"But the people don't have you in their hearts, and the words have already come to this point, Xi'er, you should be damned, but you ......"

When Du Shi talked about the sad place, his chest fell together, as if he was about to faint again.

Song Nian's husband and wife teach their daughter, they don't ask her to be a female red, and the housekeeper is good at settling accounts, but they just ask her to live as she likes. Therefore, even if he knew that she had a place to go out of the cabinet, he would turn a blind eye to her and let her go.

I thought that after a long time, the son of the world gradually faded in her heart, who knew that one accidentally caused such a disaster. robbing people of their property and taking their lives...... How this is what a boudoir woman should do!

If this matter reaches the palace, how good will it be!

Song Xi was ashamed and remorseful, and knelt down and said, "Mother, my daughter also wants to forget him, but she can't forget it." ”

"If you can't forget it, you have to forget it!"

Du Shi suddenly said sharply: "Your father promised to take you to the Lin family that day, how did you promise him." ”

"Mother...... I! Song Xi was shocked and burst into tears.

Du Shi trembled, and asked again: "How did you answer your father?" ”

"Your father was born and died in the snow and ice, and this is how you repay him?"

Du's voice was louder than the other.

"Mother!"

Song Xi hugged Du Shi's leg and cried profusely. She regretted it, she regretted it a long time ago.

In the end, it was the daughter who was held in his hand since he was a child, Du Shi saw this, hugged him, and said in a wail: "Child, people can't fight for their lives, you have to accept your fate." Your parents have always been heartfelt and hearty to you, and they will not harm you. Mother is not angry that you are speechless, mother is only worried about how the Queen Mother will embarrass you in the future after knowing this. ”

Song Xi's heart was like a knife, and he cried.

……

The maids brought the copper basin and waited for the lady, and after the young lady cleaned her face, she quietly withdrew.

Mrs. Du had a splitting headache, but she still forced her composure and said, "Tomorrow, I will ask the housekeeper to prepare a gift and send it to the Hou Mansion." Mother personally came to the door to accompany you. ”

Song Xi had already calmed down, and said with red eyes: "This matter was done by my daughter, and my daughter is free to come forward." ”

"You kid, what's there to rob here, as long as you can expose this matter, it's a blessing. I'm afraid that the palace has also heard the news, and I don't know ...... the queen mother and her old man."

Song Xi sneered: "Mother, if it is because of this, the daughter can't enter the palace, then it's a good thing, anyway, this posterior, the daughter is never rare." ”

"Do you think that entering the palace is so casual, you can enter if you want to, and if you don't want to enter, you won't enter? If you don't enter the palace, any man in this aristocratic family full of capital will dare to marry you, and you will only have the share of the old and dead boudoir in this life. Du Shi only felt that the headache was getting worse.

"The old dead boudoir is the old dead boudoir, my parents have me one, just I am filial piety in front of my parents, what's wrong, it's better than going to that unsightly place."

"You ......"

Du Shi clutched his chest with a faint pain, and his face turned pale.

Song Xi was overwhelmed, and said in a soft voice: "Mother, I did this wrong. However, it has come to this point, and it is too late to do anything, and it only depends on the will of God. I'll go to the Hou Mansion tomorrow, my mother is not in good health, and she is resting at home. ”

Du Shi said like a gnat, and said: "I went to the Hou Mansion to show the palace, my mother is not afraid of anything else, I am afraid that the palace will be angry with your father, and something bad will happen." ”

Song Xi felt guilty in his heart.

If her father is affected because of her affairs, then she will not be able to die ten thousand times to cover the sins on her body.

"Madam, ma'am, someone from the palace!"

The mother and daughter's hearts sank, and they hurriedly got up and straightened their clothes and went to the front hall.

The person who came was Father-in-law Xia next to the Queen Mother, and there were two middle-aged women behind him.

When Gonggong Xia saw the mother and woman of the Song family coming, a smile appeared on his face and he announced his message.
