When the master and servant returned to the small guest house, it was already lunchtime, and Mrs. Gao made a special trip to ask the maid to bring the food over, with a total of twelve dishes and two soups, which was not exquisite.

Xilingyue had a great appetite, but she didn't dare to eat more considering Jiang Sanniang's identity, so she had to taste a small bite of each dish.

She lost her appetite for this taste, because these dishes were all vegetarian, not even meaty! Seeing this, the maid on the side hurriedly smiled and said, "The lady forgives the sin, it's all the maid's fault, I forgot to explain it to you." This is the rule set by the ancestor wife, starting from the seventh day of July every year, the house must eat vegetarian food for three consecutive days. But on July 7 this year, when I met the hairpin feast, I couldn't let all the daughters of all families come to eat vegetarian, so my wife advanced the vegetarian fasting day, and today and tomorrow three days later, even the servant and the prince can't open meat! "Servant shooting, that is, the official position of Li Qi concurrently held by the Jiedu envoy, although it is a fictitious position, it has been equivalent to the prime minister since ancient times, and the title is higher than that of the Jiedu envoy, and the qualifications are also deeper.

Therefore, from the ministers to the people, most of them respectfully call Li Qiwei

"Servant Shot". Since even Li Qi and Li Heng's father and son have to be vegetarians, what else can Xilingyue say? can only smile back: "Vegetarianism is beneficial to the cultivation of body and mind, and the practice of Mrs. Ancestor is awe-inspiring." The maid was naturally very satisfied when she heard this, and Xilingyue reluctantly ate some vegetarian dishes under her attention, chewing and swallowing slowly, but she really looked a little bit like a lady.

After the meal, the maidservants packed up their meals and left. Seeing that everyone was gone, Ah Luo said to Xilingyue: "I think Mrs. Gao is taking the opportunity to test you!" Why is it so coincidental that he was born a vegetarian when we entered the house? There are also those handmaids, I can't wait to see two holes in your face, they must have been sent by Mrs. Gao to look at you. "How can Xiling Yue not see it?

She remembered Pei Xingli's explanation last night, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, did you bring the painting jar in Sanniang's boudoir?" Ah Luo was stunned: "What are you doing with a painting jar?" Xilingyue said deliberately: "Of course, it's for show, so that Mrs. and Shizi know that I like poetry, calligraphy, calligraphy and painting, and I can't leave the scroll!" Ah Luo rolled her eyes: "Then just bring the calligraphy and paintings in the painting jar, what else do you bring?" Weird heavy. ”

"You don't understand," Xiling Yue coughed lightly,

"Pay attention to some scholarly doors, who doesn't put a few painting jars? Hurry up, hurry up! Tell the coachman to go back and pack up some poetry books, preferably ...... It's best to fill half the car! ”

"This is too hypocritical, we have only been living for a few days, and it looks like a show!" Arlo disagreed. Xiling Yue then sank her face: "Who is the master now?" Ah Luo opened her mouth to return the favor, but in the end she held back, reluctantly accepted the order, and went to the coachman to tell her about it.

Xilingyue also began to pick up her belongings, placing the food and clothing brought by Jiang Fu one by one, and was busy until the sun set.

Remembering that there was a banquet from Mrs. Gao in the evening, Ah Luo redressed Xilingyue and changed into a blue skirt for her, which showed her freshness and slim figure.

However, after dressing up for a long time, she still didn't see Mrs. Gao send someone to invite, so Ah Luo couldn't wait, stretched out her head and looked out the window, looking anxious.

Xi Lingyue only felt weak and sleepy, sitting in front of the dressing table and yawning repeatedly, especially with the bun and heavy hairpin ring jewelry, she couldn't even straighten her neck, and the whole person was listless.

Wait a moment, just listen to the courtyard door

There was a soft "squeak", and a servant girl hurriedly walked in and said, "Lady, my family is coming to visit you." Ah Luo's eyes lit up: "Where has the son gone?" ”

"I'm going to enter the courtyard gate soon!"

"Thank you, my lady will go out to greet you." Ah Luo smiled sweetly and gave the maid a copper coin.

The servant girl was not polite, and reached out to take it. Ah Luo looked at the maid and walked away, then turned around and pulled Xilingyue up, and nervously advised: "The opportunity is rare, you have to behave well." Xilingyue nodded indiscriminately, barely bracing up her spirits and walking out, just walked out of the front hall and stepped down the steps, when she heard a warm voice sound: "Sanniang is unwell?" Xi Lingyue looked up and found that two young men had entered the courtyard gate and were standing in the middle of the courtyard.

The first one was made of purple and gold as a crown, a brocade shirt was made of shirts, and his figure was straight, but his face was too mediocre, and some of them could not support his respected identity.

This person has a two-sided relationship with her

"Evil servant" is also the real Zhenhai Festival envoy Li Heng. In fact, the position of Zhenhai Jiedu envoy is not hereditary, and Li Heng is not a prince, his real official position is that of a soldier and a horse envoy.

However, as early as last year, Li Qi submitted a request to canonize Li Heng as the queen, and the imperial court allowed it. After the son stayed, it was also hereditary in disguise, and the people in the house changed their names to Li Hengwei

"Shizi" pleases him. Over time, this common name was called, and now he is called up and down the town

"Shizi", on the contrary, forgot his original official position. Xiling Yue naturally followed the customs, and saluted: "Yunyi has seen the son." Looking at Li Heng's side again, Pei Xingli Yushu was in the wind, looking at her at the moment, a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed with some kind of hint.

Xilingyue was originally a little sleepy, but she completely sobered up in an instant, and bowed to Pei Xingli again, and asked with a smile: "I don't know what the two of you are doing here?" Li Heng saw that she was well-behaved, so he teased: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Sanniang has seen nothing when she speaks." "Outside?

See your aunt and grandmother! Xilingyue scolded secretly, but her face was full of courtesy, so she made an apologetic look: "The first two times were that Yunyi had eyes and no beads, and I hope that the prince will not blame." Li Heng didn't say anything, only looked up at the sky: "Sanniang didn't invite us to come in and sit?" Xilingyue immediately stretched out her hand and asked: "The prince laughed, this is the courtyard of your mansion, how dare Yunyi oppose the guest." At this time, a servant had already observed the words and looks, and took the first step to open the door curtain, Li Heng, Pei Xingli, and Xiling Yue walked up the steps and walked into the front hall.

After the three of them sat down one after another, Ah Luo smiled with a smile: "The maid is going to make tea." With that, he ran away.

Seeing this, Pei Xingli also stood up: "Shizi, I'll go and help." After speaking, he also retreated, and never said a word to Xilingyue from beginning to end.

Li Heng tapped the case with his left index finger, but did not say anything to save it. At this point, there were only two people left in the hall, he put down the shelf of the prince, got up and apologized: "I deceived Sanniang twice in a row, it's mine, it's not mine, this time I took the liberty to invite, but also to officially meet Sanniang, contemptible Li Heng, the word master Heng." He pointed to the tall back that disappeared outside the door: "The one just now is Pei Xingli, my aunt's cousin, who is in charge of the five thousand personal soldiers around my father." The last time he teased Sanniang in Jinshan Temple, he was also instructed by me, and he also looked at Sanniang Haihan. Xiling Yue pretended to be flattered and got up, and saluted back: "The prince is serious, the first two times...... It's Yunyi who is too rude. Li Heng seemed to remember her sharp teeth and sharp mouth at that time, and there was a trace of warmth in her eyes, which made Xilingyue break out in a cold sweat, and the alarm bell in her heart was loud.

The two of them have one look at you. "Coming back tomorrow? Xi Lingyue pulled out a smirk, got up to see off the guests, but said, "The tea hasn't been served yet, are you in a hurry to leave?" Li Heng smiled meaningfully, stared at her and said, "It's just a cup of tea, and the coming days will be long." This sentence made Xilingyue feel excited, and she didn't dare to say more.

She followed Li Heng out of the front hall, and saw Pei Xingli standing bored in the courtyard, looking at a wet floor tiles.

At this time, the night is getting deeper, the lights are on, and the lights of the whole festival are brilliant, reflecting Pei Xingli's handsome spirit, and there is a trace of mysterious melancholy.

Seeing this, Xilingyue couldn't help but think to herself, just looking at Li Heng, she also felt that she was thoughtful and had a good temperament, but compared with Pei Xingli, it was too mediocre.

It just so happened that the two were cousins and often got together together...... (End of chapter)
