She looked away and asked the greenery behind her, "What time is it?" ”

How could Lu Yi not understand the meaning of the master's question, and smiled slightly: "Back to the master, it's the hour now." ”

Nian Shi nodded, and his gaze fell on Nala Shi lightly like a feather, "Sister, when did our house change the time to ask for peace, but no one informed me." ”

Ling Ruo's face was embarrassed by what she said, and she hurriedly got up and said: "Qi Qi Nian Fu Jin, it's all because the concubine is not in good health, the concubine is sleepy for a while, and she doesn't even know what to do after the hour, please forgive Fu Jin." ”

"Bold!" Before her words fell, Nian Shi had already raised her willow eyebrows and shouted coldly: "I'm talking to Chang Fujin, what are you talking about." ”

Song pretended to persuade on the side: "Fu Jin is angry, who calls people from small families, it is normal to not understand the rules, don't be like her." ”

Song is Kangxi forty years into the house, at the beginning of the Gege, in the house is not favored, the total number of favors a few times, do not want to accidentally conceive an heir, eight months later gave birth to a daughter, unfortunately died before the month, Yinzhen pity the child died early, is to the child in the year of the first year of the promotion of the Song family as a blessing, in order to comfort her pain of losing her daughter, but this grace is more and more weak, often for a long time have not seen Yinzhen side, now see Ling Ruo suddenly favored, the heart is angry.

Li Shi stroked his stomach that was not yet obvious and said casually: "I remember Sister Song, your father was originally a county magistrate in Songyang County, not long ago, the county magistrate of Songyang County asked the imperial court to be a magistrate due to his old age, and the imperial court ordered your father to be promoted to the position of county magistrate, is there such a thing?" ”

After Song nodded, she said again: "If I remember correctly, the county order is the seventh grade, and Ling Gege's Ama is five levels higher than your father from the fourth grade, you said that Ling Gege is from a small family, so what about you?" What are you? ”

She said it lightly, without a trace of anger, but it made Song's face flushed, and she was embarrassed, she wanted to take the opportunity to humiliate Ling Ruo, but she didn't think about it, but she set herself on fire, and she made a commotion, which really outweighed the loss.

"Don't say that you are from the fourth grade, even if you are from the first grade, no rules are no rules." The Song family was afraid of the identity of the Li family, but the Nian family didn't care, or she never took the Li family in her eyes.

"Okay, okay, one less word." Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Nala hurriedly came out to play a round, "They are all their own sisters, what do they look like when they are noisy." Ling Gege has just entered the house, and there are many things that she does not understand or do inconsiderately, so you sisters can teach her more. As for inviting Ann to come late this time, I don't think I came on purpose, so forget it. ”

"My sister is really good-tempered, but I'm afraid that some people will be pampered and arrogant, and they will even forget what their identity is." Although Nian was smiling, there was no trace of smile in his eyes, but he was full of cold.

The news that Ling Ruo stayed overnight in the Pierring Cloud Open Moon Pavilion has already been obtained by everyone, and the Nala clan and the Li clan are friendly with Ling Ruo for the time being, and the others are holding their breath in their hearts, especially a few Shu Fujin, in terms of identity, they think that they are a lot taller than Ling Ruo, who is a Gege, but they have never had the honor to stay overnight in the Piercing Cloud Open Moon Pavilion, and they have not even stayed for three watches.

This was serious, and Ling Ruo was so panicked that he hurriedly knelt down and said that he didn't dare. Nala's gaze swept over Nian's beautiful face, and his voice was as quiet as flowing water, "Ling Gege is not this kind of person, my sister can rest assured." ”

"I hope so." Nian Shi sneered and stood up and bowed and turned to leave, not looking at Ling Ruo who was still kneeling on the ground, after her, everyone got up and said goodbye When the last one also walked out, the falling curtain cut off Nala's gaze, she sighed secretly, and motioned to Jade to help Ling Ruo who was still kneeling on the ground, "Although Nian Fujin's words are straighter, she originally meant to be good for you, and she was afraid that you would forget your roots because of arrogance, so she was harsh, you don't have to go to your heart." Even she felt pale in the face of such words, but she had to do so for the sake of the peace of the house, even if it was only superficial.

"The concubine understands." Ling Ruo replied meekly, she understood the difficulties of the Nala clan, and as a concubine, she must be fair, upright, and impartial; It was not easy for Shicai to defend her in front of so many people, and she couldn't ask for more.

"That's good." Nala nodded in satisfaction, and said a few more words of advice before ordering him to kneel down.

The house is cool and pleasant, but the heat is rolling outside, the scorching sun is in the sky, the sun pierces people's eyes, this summer is much hotter than usual, and it has not rained for nearly ten days, and the air is floating everywhere with invisible dust.

Finally returned to Jingsiju, Moyu was already drenched in sweat, she helped Ling Ruo, who was also sweaty, to walk through the courtyard to the main hall, and complained as she walked: "This thief really wants to heat people to death, how can he become this virtue before noon." Girl, go in and sit down, the slave and maid will bring water to wash your face, go to the heat, and then get a sour plum soup to relieve ......."

Mo Yu was about to say that he would make a cup of sour plum soup to quench his thirst, but he didn't want to push open the door of the main hall and there was a cool air coming to his face, which made people feel refreshed. Hey, when did Jingsiju become so cool? In addition to being amazed, I forgot to say the following words.

"Girl auspicious." Xiao Changzi and the others were waiting in the main hall, and at this moment, when they saw Ling Ruo coming in, they hurriedly stepped forward to say goodbye, and everyone had a hint of joy on their faces.

Ling Ruo hummed, his eyes fell on the copper basin placed in the corner of the main hall, only to see that there was a large piece of ice there, at this moment the ice was gradually melting, and the small droplets of water dripped down the transparent and smooth ice cubes, and landed in the copper basin with a jingling sound, and the cool air in the house came from here.

"Who sent it?" Fingers gently stroked the ice, the coolness penetrated the skin, and then the fingers were already wet.

"Back to the girl's words, it was sent by the ice house steward early in the morning, saying that the weather is hot these days for fear that the girl will catch the heat, so he deliberately evened out a few pieces from other places, and said that there will be ice sent every day in the future, so that you can rest assured." It was Xiao Changzi who replied, since he picked up a life last time, his health has been extremely poor, even in the summer, he still covers it tightly, lest he catch a cold by the wind.

Mo Yu had come back to his senses at this moment, wrinkled his cute nose and said disappreciably: "It's a good thing, it's not that I saw that our girl was favored by Lord Belle, so I hurried over to stammer, when it was hot before, where did he go, even the crushed ice of the sour plum soup had to be said before he was willing to give a few pieces, it was really snobbish." ”

Ling Ruo smiled faintly and did not speak, the people in the house have always been accustomed to following the red top and white, seeing the wind and making the rudder, leaning on whichever side is favored, and the nose is a little smarter than a dog.

"Girl, you sit down for a while, and the slave maid will bring the iced sour plum soup." Shui Xiu opened the door and was about to go out, but he didn't think that there was a person standing at the door, and he almost bumped into his arms, and when he looked at it, it was Li Fujin's personal maid Qingrong, who was also holding a gold-painted food box in his hand, and hurriedly turned sideways to let her in.

Ling Ruo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and said: "On such a hot day, why did the green girl come here, come, sit down and take a sip of tea." ”

Qingrong said with a smile on her face: "Ling Gege doesn't need to bother, the slave maid is ordered by Fujin to send some honeydew melons to Ling Gege, and she will go back in a while." As she spoke, she opened the food box and took out a small saucer from it, on which was an ice bowl carved from ice cubes, and even carved with auspicious patterns on it, but it was blurred as the ice cubes gradually melted, and the honeydew melons cut into small pieces were contained in the ice bowl.

"This is a melon that has just arrived from the Western Regions today, Fujin knows that you like it, so I specially ordered the slave to send some, and I was afraid that the melon would be hot all the way and it would taste tasteless, so I put it in an ice bowl, as long as the ice bowl does not melt, this melon will always be cold and cold, girl, you can taste it." Eyesight explained quite smugly, this melon is a treasure of tribute from the Western Regions, and it has come from thousands of miles, and there are only a few of the four Baylor Mansions, and a few people are rewarded by Yinzhen, and the Li family can get one of them, which shows the prosperity of favor.

"It's really hard for Lao Fujin." Ling Ruo used a silver skewer to sign a piece and put it in his mouth, and sure enough, the juice was sweet, crisp and refreshing, and because of the ice bowl, it had a slight coolness, which was refreshing.

"It's good if the girl likes it, and the master has a word for me to tell the girl." Qingrong knew that the people in the house were all Ling Ruo's henchmen, so she didn't shy away from it, and said according to the words that Li Shi ordered when she came out: "Only when you are relaxed can you be safe for a long time." ”

Ling Ruo is such a smart person, how could he not hear the meaning of Li's words, and immediately said to Qingrong: "Please ask Miss Qingrong to tell Fu Jin on her behalf, just say that Ling Ruo understands, thank Fu Jin for mentioning it." ”

"The slave must bring it for the girl, and if there is nothing wrong, the slave will go back first." Eyes folded the gold food box and prepared to leave.

Ling Ruo glanced at Shui Xiu, who immediately understood, took out the silver that had been prepared in the morning and stuffed it into Jingrong's hand, and said with a smile: "Sister has worked hard, this is a little meaning from my girl, buy a few boxes of rouge for my sister to play." ”

After receiving the silver, the smile on her face became a little bigger, and she thanked Ling Ruofu for a blessing before leaving, and after she walked away, Ling Ruo slowly lowered her face, and was silent with the red stone bracelet on her wrist.
