Chapter Twenty-Seven: East Lake
Xiangping openly added oleander juice to the pastry because she got Bai's permission in advance.
At that time, the incident was revealed, and Xiangping was like a thorn in Bai's heart, and Bai couldn't hold back to pull the thorn out in place.
Xiangping has been waiting by the side since the Bai family entered the mansion, and after such a long time, she still has some feelings, and the Bai family will definitely not directly cut off her back road.
After thinking about it thoroughly, the Bai family summoned the little servants in the house to ask about the situation of the firewood house first, and after confirming that there was no one else, he took advantage of the night to look for Xiangping.
In the past, the Bai clan would never set foot in such a dirty place.
The door of the firewood room was only opened by one crack, and Bai Shi could already smell the smell of dampness. Xiangping was leaning on her knees in the corner to rest, and when she saw that the door was a little loose, she became vigilant for a while, and she saw the hem of Bai's clothes in the moonlight.
Now that it was dim, she whispered tentatively out of the crack in the door, "But ma'am? ”
Bai Shi tossed into the firewood room, lit a faint candle, and was about to find the direction where Xiangping was, but Xiangping saw that the person who came was undoubtedly Bai, so she knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Please be a doctor." ”
Bai Shi nodded, closed the door behind him tightly, lifted his skirt and walked to Xiangping, and looked at her condescendingly: "Today, Mrs. Ben can't sleep at night because of you, how can Princess Duan force you to admit all of them with a threat." ”
A trace of panic flashed in Xiangping's eyes, and she maintained her original posture and said calmly: "Big lady, the slave maid is also helpless, you see that I originally wanted the young lady to suffer some losses, but I never thought that she actually invited Princess Duan, and this princess is definitely my little maidservant who can't afford to offend." ”
Bai stood for a while, carefully taking Xiangping's panic into his eyes: "I still wanted to protect you, but now that you are so open-minded, everyone in the house knows that it was the girl in my house who caused Aunt Gao to slip the tire, and now the root of the tongue chewing has reached my house." ”
Hearing that the meaning of Bai's words had the meaning of abandoning herself, Xiangping raised her eyes to look at Bai with tears in her eyes, and asked, "So what does Madam plan to do with me?" Secretly disposed of me in this night? ”
Before the Bai family came, Xiangping had expected the worst outcome, although the Bai family's methods were ruthless, she never thought that the Bai family would really be ruthless to her henchmen.
Bai Shi suddenly sneered, put his index finger on his wrist, tapped a few times, and only smiled without answering: "If I had the intention of extinguishing my mouth, I would not have come to this trip." ”
The turning point in the words Xiangping took a while to react, but she had her own pockets, and she easily betrayed her master when she encountered some trivial things, and this kind of behavior had long been recognized as a traitor seeking glory in other mansions.
Bai leaned over and put the prepared burden at Xiangping's feet, and sighed: "Right now, you only have this opportunity left, and it's up to you whether you can grasp it or not." ”
Xiangping looked at the burden on the ground with some difficulty, and with some difficulty, she got up by the gray wall, and numbly lifted the burden on the ground and walked out.
The next day, the news that the maid in the eldest lady's house who had caused Aunt Gao's slippery fetus escaped overnight spread in the house.
Jiang Liyue suffered that inexplicable encounter yesterday, and she had a strange dream.
In her dream, it was pitch black, she couldn't see anything, she was trapped in a very depressing place, like the place where Li Changlu had imprisoned and beaten her in her previous life.
After a while, the scene turned to the streets and alleys, and the people talked about her haggard, saying that there was a misbehaving daughter in Duanwangfu, and she deserved to move her family to Jiangnan and never have a better day.
Jiang Liyue was Meng Chun at the beginning of this life, except for the first time she had this dream, and this time she came again, after she entered the Mu Mansion, she rested more peacefully than in the Duanwang Mansion.
Not to mention that she was spurned by the world in her previous life, just because she caused the Duanwang Mansion to be affected, it was enough to make her rare.
It wasn't until there was the sound of carriages and horses in the dream that the people were silent, and she also woke up.
I was shackled by dreams again, and I felt a little palpitation, and when I opened my eyes and thought about it, the things of my past life seemed to be in front of me.
Spruce was about to wait for her to get up with the washbasin, seeing that she was tired and her sideburns were wet, she hurriedly picked up a plain satin sweat towel to wipe it for her, and fanned a few times with the other hand, and said, "The county lord is in a nightmare?" ”
She came back to her senses, shook her head, and pressed her red cheeks with her palm: "It's okay, it's just that I dreamed of something ordinary, where did Lang Jun go?" I didn't hear that he was going to the morning court today. ”
Spruce looked at her with a smile, handed over the dry salt for gargling, and said, "I just wanted to talk to you about this, but I went to the study today to discuss with the master." But guess what, county lord, what am I listening to in the mansion today? ”
Jiang Liyue washed the dry salt with a peach branch, and looked at her with a calm face: "What wind are you listening to from the outside again?" ”
"When I went to get breakfast, I heard that Xiangping in the eldest lady's mansion escaped overnight, how can you say she has such courage, is it all indulged by the eldest lady on weekdays?"
After washing, Jiang Liyue stood up and relaxed her tired muscles and bones, and said, "In this way, maybe it is some bias and bias, and there is no need to discuss it if it is not related to us." ”
"The county lord is always kind-hearted, if it hadn't been clarified in time yesterday, maybe this Xiangping would have hurt you to some extent, and the county lord would have to guard against it in the future."
After entering the Mu Mansion, Spruce's mind was much more delicate than in the Duanwang Mansion, Jiang Liyue nodded deeply while changing clothes.
At that time, Mu Rufeng was backlogged due to state affairs and family affairs, and after discussing with Mu Yan the disaster relief method in Jizhou two days later, he discussed the matter in the morning: "Yan'er, I heard that the people in the house came to pay tribute, and the maid who sent pastries to the Gao family yesterday fled overnight, what do you think of this?" ”
Mu Yan's thoughts moved from the upstream of disaster relief, he had heard Jiang Liyue's words about the overview of yesterday's incident, and seeing that Jiang Liyue was relieved, he didn't do much to investigate, and he was slightly surprised by the escape of the initiator: "Father, now a little maid in the house actually has this ability?" ”
It was clearly said that Xiangping's escape must be fueled by someone, Mu Rufeng only nodded slightly, and asked Mu Yan to go back to the house to prepare the things he needed to travel two days later.
When Mu Yan returned to the house, he passed by the flower garden in the house, and saw Jiang Liyue stepping on tiptoe folding flowers on the soft board, and the spruce below was looking up with a small face showing an anxious look, steadily protecting the person's waist.
Originally, Jiang Liyue's white index finger had touched the flower branch stained with dewdrops, and he heard Mu Yan's voice ringing in his ears: "How can you climb up and break the flower branch yourself?" Although these things are left to the people below, it should not be up to you to do them yourself. ”
The spruce tree below hurriedly saluted Mu Yan, and then echoed: "County Lord, there is a reason for what you said, you better come down quickly." ”
Jiang Liyue, who had already climbed on the flower branch, refused to let go easily, so Mu Yan had to persuade gently: "If you insist on breaking it, I will break it for you." ”
It's a good idea, Jiang Liyue got off the soft stool with the help of the spruce and lifted her skirt, and said in a soft voice: "Then let Yanlang pick it for me." ”
Mu Yan took advantage of the man's height to break off the flower branch in Jiang Liyue's original photo and put it into the hands of the person, with doubts on his face: "What is the difference between what I folded and what I offered in the house?" ”
Look at the color, it's exactly the same.
Jiang Liyue twisted the flower branch with her index finger to admire it, then lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance emanating from the flower bones on her head, and said with a smile: "Now this is what Yan Lang gave me, and it is of great significance." ”
Jiang Liyue put the flower branch in the spruce's hand, and whispered: "Spruce, take this flower branch back to the house, prune it, pick a jade bottle and insert it, and bring the soft stool with you." ”
Spruce comprehended, and after mentioning the soft board, he was able to leave, and seeing that the spruce was far away, Jiang Liyue retracted his gaze and stared at Mu Yan: "Yan Lang heard that Xiangping in the eldest lady's house escaped this morning?" I'm surprised to hear from the people below me today. ”
Mu Yan was silent, but he was not surprised: "That's true, do you want to punish that maidservant?" Father has already sent someone to track it down. ”
Jiang Liyue didn't have the leisure to get involved in the dispute between the Gao family and the Bai family, the Gao family's slippery body was damaged, and she was recuperating in the garden when she heard the spruce say, and the house was a lot closer.
"I'm worried that Yan Lang will encounter this incident when he travels, which will affect the follow-up trip, I heard that the people fighting for food caused by the waterlogging in Jizhou are still tragic, can I travel with you this time? Yan Lang doesn't need to take extra care of Yue'er. ”
Mu Yan pondered for a moment, and politely refused: "I'm not afraid to spare some time to take care of you, but this Jizhou is located in a remote area, and if you have to toss and turn in the carriage for a day and a night, I'm afraid your body won't be able to bear it." Why don't you wait for me to be free another day and take you to East Lake to enjoy the spring scenery? ”
At first, when he heard that Jiang Liyue was going to accompany him on the trip, Mu Yanxin was already a little confused, after all, Jiang Liyue's charming appearance brought a piece of begging, how could he easily resist it.
He mentioned this matter to Mu Rufeng this morning, and after Mu Rufeng reprimanded him, he felt that it was inappropriate, so he could only give up this opportunity.
Jiang Liyue frowned suddenly, her original flawless little face was full of surprise, and there was obvious hope in her moist apricot eyes: "How many days is Yan Lang going this time?" ”
Jiang Liyue never thought that Mu Yan was really willing to reject her, but when she thought about it, she was afraid that she would suffer an unjustified disaster and let go.
Since Mu Yan refused to take her with her, she naturally had a way to secretly disguise herself and follow behind him.
Mu Yan's well-defined hand rubbed the position of his sideburns, and his ink-colored pupils suddenly deepened: "At least five or six days, at most ten days, the affairs in the garden will be handed over to you first." ”
The previous dynasties of Jizhou were difficult to govern, the local officials and bandits colluded with a nest of snakes and rats, the first emperor Jiang Yi was also troubled by the waterlogging in Jizhou for a while, and the senior officials sent down at that time were all only going through the motions, and there was no actual action to treat the disaster, and finally if Mu Rufeng did not come forward to solve it in person, I don't know how long it would be troubled.
Jiang Liyue bit her lower lip tightly and wanted to think of more ways to persuade him to take him there, but she couldn't say that he hadn't encountered the disaster yet.
Because of the use of dark energy, Jiang Liyue's originally red lips turned white in an instant, Mu Yan looked at it, pursed his thin lips lightly, and his breath softened: "Go back to a safe place, I will definitely take you." ”
Changing the method to let her stop working hard, although Jiang Liyue's face deserved to be happy, the little abacus in her heart also started at the right time.
