Looking closely, the woman standing quietly by the pond has a soft and sad eyebrow, like a wild flower blooming in the open valley on a cloudy day, and anyone who sees it will feel some pity.

But there are people who are not interested in this beauty at all.

Liu Yuechan seemed to be really looking at the scenery, but in fact, she was quietly looking at Fang Shaoze, who seemed to be a little absent-minded behind Fang Shaojun: This son is really a celestial figure, but can he really afford her with such a family background? Although she is also a serious daughter when she says this, she has no father at a young age...

Liu Yuechan's father turned out to be a soldier under Murong Wei, and he was also a brave and resourceful person, but this person's life was not good, so a few days before Murong Wei ascended the throne and became emperor, an old minister of South Vietnam cut his throat with a knife. But Murong Wei was also righteous, and immediately posthumously named Liu Yuechan's father as the deputy lieutenant of Zhenwei of the sixth grade.

But in the end, it was the person who died in Huangquan, no matter how good the official position was, it was just a false name, and Liu Yuechan's life was no different from that of an orphan.

Even though Uncle Liu Yuechan relied on her father's reputation to find a position from the eighth rank to Desigo, the uncle's family still regarded the two Liu Yuechan sisters who came to take refuge as a burden, and there was no less sneering and bullying all day long, because although this Miss Liu was eighteen years old, she had not yet married.

This time I came just because Liu Yuechan's mother had some relationship with the third lady of the Yin family, Yin Fu, and the Qin family just entrusted Yin Fu to find a low-ranking family for Fang Shaoze.

Fang just glanced at it from a distance, and Liu Yuechan recognized the eldest young master of the Fang family very much at that time.

But when Fang Shaojun introduced it just now, Fang Shaoze looked absent-minded, and didn't seem to care much about himself, Liu Yuechan couldn't help but feel a little uncertain: in fact, she is also a gentle, virtuous, and knowledgeable person, and she doesn't care about her appearance and family background, the only thought is to get married as soon as possible, have a home of her own, and don't have to look at the cold eyes of the uncle's family.

Liu Yuechan was in a daze by the pond, but suddenly heard her sister Liu Yueyi's crying voice behind her: "Sister, help me!" Just now, when we were picking flowers by the pond, I saw a very beautiful peony, but as soon as I picked it, my cousin snatched it, and she also lied to me... Say I robbed her of something! ”

This Liu Yueyi's cousin is the daughter of the uncle's family.

But in the end, the two sisters were under the fence, and Liu Yuechan didn't dare to offend, so she could only comfort her sister: "Don't cry, it's just a flower, if you change another one, it's over!" ”

But Liu Yueyi, who was only six years old, couldn't understand her sister's embarrassment, and said aggrievedly: "Sister! I'm not angry because of this flower, it's my cousin who just scolded me for lying and scolding me for stealing his things! Sister, explain it for me! ”

How to explain it? If this annoys the cousin again, then they don't know how much scolding they will have to go home! It was Liu Yuecian who could only smile bitterly and said: "That's it, Yueyi, let's be generous, don't care!" ”

"Sister..."

"That's enough, don't make any more trouble!" Liu Yuechan was upset by her sister's ignorance, and finally couldn't help but reprimand.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of Fang Shaoze's back indifferently leaving.

The reason why Fang Shaoze left was also because he really couldn't stand it: how could he see his own sister being bullied like this, and being a sister not only did not uphold justice, but also blamed the victim? Although this man does seem to be virtuous, his temperament is really weak and makes people anxious! If such a person is really married back to the house, then the family must not let outsiders bully him to death in the future? Hmph, if this is replaced by Luo Qinghe, I am afraid that she would have already carried a brick and led her sister to justice!

In the end, it is a brother, looking at Fang Shaoze's expression, Fang Shaojun and the marriage between the two of them will definitely not be possible.

Of course, this matter is not surprising, after all, Fang Shaoze grew up in an environment like the Fang family since he was a child, and he was not less despised by others. Although Fang Shaoze is very disgusted with Zhai Ting's arrogant and domineering temperament, Fang Shaoze also looks down on the woman who is too weak and bullied by others and has no backbone at all.

Boredom walked along the path to the depths of the garden, Fang Shaoze saw that the trees in front of him were getting denser and denser, but the fragrance of osmanthus was getting stronger and stronger.

Sure enough, the osmanthus of the Qishan Marquis Mansion is different from other places! At present, the laurel trees in Guangling haven't even budded yet, but this Qishan Hou's Mansion has bloomed so luxuriantly.

Looking at the beautiful scenery in front of him, Fang Shaoze only regretted why he didn't bring Luo Qinghe over today to open his eyes. Seeing the fresh cinnamon trees falling all over the ground, Fang Shaoze seemed to be able to see their fate of falling into mud and dust, so he felt a little melancholy in his heart.

A few days ago, Luo Qinghe was still talking about waiting for the osmanthus in Guangling to bloom, go to the suburbs to pick a few baskets, boil some osmanthus sauce to make some osmanthus wine, and then make some osmanthus cakes... Thinking of this, Fang Shaoze suddenly had some bold ideas.

Otherwise, I'll pick up some more of the cinnamon from the Qishan Hou Mansion and take it home? But as soon as this idea came out, Fang Shaoze suddenly felt a little ashamed, and hurriedly looked around in a panic and found that there was no one occupied, so Fang Shaojun squatted down boldly.

But just as he was about to pick it up, he hesitated a little: where would he put it after he finished picking it up? You can't carry it around in a robe, can you? Besides, he is also the eldest young master of the Fang Mansion, what is the matter with picking up flowers in other people's mansions? Wouldn't it be a shame for the Fang family to spread this matter? But if you don't pick it up, I'm afraid that there will be no second place in Guangling that can be as good as the one in the Qishan Marquis Mansion......

Just as Fang Shaoze was squatting in place and was very entangled, he heard the sound of brisk footsteps from the depths of the woods, and saw a tall woman holding a bamboo basket, which was full of osmanthus.

They never thought that there would be people in the depths of this inaccessible garden, so they were both a little surprised.

Seeing this familiar face, Fang Shaoze smiled in his eyes, and said politely: "I didn't expect to see a girl here!" When the siege of Taoyuan Building was lifted that day, Fang Mou had not yet thanked the girl, and dared to ask the girl's name? ”

This is a tall woman, isn't it the smart woman who sent her servants to splash the soup of braised pork ribs on him last time in Taoyuan Building, rescued him from his predicament, and reminded herself not to forget her original intention?

Yin Ling also recognized Fang Shaoze at this time, chuckled and blessed her body and said, "The little girl's surname is Yin, ranking second." ”

Seeing that she was from the Yin family, Fang Shaoze nodded knowingly and said, "I've seen Miss Yin!" On that day, my brother was at the celebration banquet in Taoyuan Building, thanks to your Yin family who came to help! ”

In the past, he had heard many people say that the Yin family had a second lady with great talent and talent, and she had already been destined to be sent to the palace to serve the emperor in the future.

"Young Master Fang doesn't need to be polite, the reason why I went over at that time was just to try the new dishes I developed." After chatting with Fang Shaoze for a few words, Yin Ling's depressed mood suddenly relaxed.

Originally, after the discussion with Luo Qinghe in the morning, Yin Ling felt extremely uncomfortable, and he was not even in the mood to go to the banquet. But in the end, he couldn't bear the obsession of his mother, and Yin Ling Industry could only buy it with a heart and reluctantly followed.

As soon as he entered the Qishan Marquis Mansion, Yin Ling, who was tired of coping, hurriedly found a bamboo basket and plunged into Danguilin.

But Rao is just now while picking flowers, but there is still some indignation in her heart: In fact, it is just a matter of losing to others, but why did she lose to a poor girl from a remote place? Doesn't that mean that my years of hard work have been in vain?

The more Yin Ling thought about it, the more angry she became, and when she saw that this osmanthus was almost picked up, she walked back with a lack of interest, until she met Fang Shaoze, a person who could make her willing to say a few words.

"Is Miss Yin also here to pick cinnamon? Just now I tasted the cinnamon shortbread of the Hou family of Qishan, it is really delicious! ”

Unexpectedly, this young master Fang actually took the initiative to talk to him about eating, and this Yin Ling was also instantly interested, and said with a smile: "Yes, I heard that the marquis of Qishan Mansion has been marinated with osmanthus sauce for five years, and this kind of mellow fragrance is indeed not comparable to the outside." ”

"No wonder! In the past, the osmanthus cakes I ate at Luoquan were made directly from dried osmanthus. ”

"Different methods have different flavors, and the dried cinnamon is expensive in the taste is refreshing. The reason why I picked up so much was because I thought that half of it would be brewed and the other half would be dried and ground into a powder to add flavor to the pastry. ”

"That's a good idea!" Fang Shaoze couldn't help but admire, and thought to himself: I will definitely let the people of the Fang Mansion pick up two baskets for me and bring them back later! If this cinnamon is made by Luo Qinghe, I don't know how many novelties and deliciousness there will be!

But Miss Yin Ling was mistaken, and said very generously: "If Fang Gongzi doesn't dislike it, after my dangui wine is brewed, I will let someone send you two cans!" ”

When Fang Shaoze heard this, he politely excused himself and said: "Dangui is precious, how can it win people's love in the future!" ”

But just as the two were chatting, they heard a sharp cry by the pond in the distance, and looked over there with a puzzled face, only to see that the source of the noise was the three sisters of the Liu family.

The Yin Fu family, who brought the Liu family here today, only felt anxious.

Originally, she accepted the entrustment of the Qin family, and only wanted Liu Yuechan to go on a blind date with Fang Shaoze alone. didn't think that her uncle and aunt would send their daughters together in order to be able to tie up with the nobles.

In fact, there is no difference between one more person and one less person at such a big banquet, but the bad thing is that Miss Liu Er has always been domineering, and when she was picking flowers in front of her, she was angry with Liu Yueyi because of a peony just now, and at this time, she was even more interested in finding fault, and actually pushed her cousin into the pond.

After all, she was young, and after Liu Yueyi choked on a few mouthfuls of water, her little face turned white and cried, and even Yin Fu couldn't bear to look at it.

But before she could reprimand Miss Liu Er, she heard Liu Yuechan hurriedly step forward and say, "I'm really sorry Mrs. Yin, my sister has caused you trouble!" ”

Liu Yuechan inexplicably lowered her head to admit her mistake, but she saw that Fang Shaoze was angry, but he was not a man who could meddle in the girl's affairs after all, so Fang Shaoze could only shake his head, intending to be out of sight.

But Yin Ling, who was beside him, said unceremoniously: "Miss Liu is really a very competent and good sister, I can see you take the initiative to apologize for my sister when I go back, and I don't know what Yi'er did wrong?" ”

Liu Yuechan didn't even dare to provoke her cousin, and naturally she didn't dare to provoke such a "strong" Yin Ling! So she could only smile bitterly and hurriedly led her sister to change her clothes

Looking at her nest, Yin Fu understood why even Fang Shaoze from the countryside couldn't look down on Liu Yuechan: Who in this world wants the mistress of his family to be such a weak and incompetent person!

Therefore, when Liu Yuechan returned to the main hall again, she found that the Yin Fu family was a little indifferent to their Liu family sisters, and they no longer tried to lead her to Fang Shaoze's side.
