On the second day, the gate of Ruxue Pavilion was closed, and the people in the courtyard were frightened one by one, not daring to make a sound, for fear of provoking the unhappy eldest lady.

In the house, Liu Ruxue was lying on the couch and crying, and several maids were also anxious when they stood aside, Xia He stepped forward to comfort, "Miss, the doctor also said it, it's just an ordinary rash, you can raise it for a while, and it won't leave a scar." ”

Liu Ruxue suddenly raised her head, only to see that her face was covered with red spots, which looked very scary, coupled with the scars that were scratched by the Chen family yesterday, her most proud face was already unbearable, so how could she not be sad?

She glared at Xia He with teary eyes, "You go to the front yard to stop it, and when you see your father, you immediately report to him, it must be that woman from the Chen family who hurt me, she threatened me to take revenge on me yesterday, and today I am like this, who is she or not?" ”

Xia He had no choice but to follow his words, Liu Yingyuan was really annoyed by his daughter during this time, and after listening to Xia He's report, he was no longer nervous before, and only lightly told a few words and went to the study, and did not go to Ruxue Pavilion, Liu Ruxue smashed a piece of debris on the ground for this.

When the news reached Linyuezhai, it naturally made Chen happy, she understood that Liu Ruxue was too tossed during this time, which made the old man annoyed, which was undoubtedly excellent news for her, and she was happy to eat more for lunch, and specially rewarded each person in the small kitchen with one or two silver, which was their month's silver on weekdays, and everyone was very happy.

Chunyu took the silver and mysteriously came to Meng Xiaoran's side, the age difference between the two is not big, Chunyu usually likes to chat with her, Meng Xiaoran is naturally happy, and a lot of news is out of her.

"Sister Lufu, do you know why Mrs. today is so happy?"

"Why?"

Chunyu looked around, and then leaned into her ear and said: "The eldest lady has a rash on her face, and there was a big fuss in Ruxue Pavilion, and the lord didn't go to see her, everyone said that the lord was annoyed by the eldest lady and didn't want to go again, and the eldest lady was going to fall out of favor." ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled when she heard the words and didn't speak, but there was a clear understanding in her eyes, it turned out that the little lesson that Shen Qian said was this, but what Liu Ruxue cared about most was her face, Shen Qian made a fuss on her face one after another, and really caught her seven inches.

This matter was talked about as an after-dinner chat, and it faded away in a few days, and Meng Xiaoran has been thinking about how to excel at the plum blossom banquet these days, she knows that she can only start from eating, and after thinking about it, she only thinks of making more Sichuan food, but can this really be brilliant?

Fortunately, there are still many days, so she put it in her heart and didn't think much about it, the days passed for more than half a month, Liu Chengming's leg was much better, the splint had been removed, except that she couldn't get out of bed and walk, she couldn't feel the pain, she studied hard every day, and she called Meng Xiaoran over and showed off in front of her, and Meng Xiaoran pretended not to understand at all, and gradually Liu Chengming lost interest, feeling that she was just an empty appearance, and couldn't help but miss Miss Zidai again.

Liu Chengming called Meng Xiaoran to the past gradually decreased, and in the end, she hardly had to see him every day except for sending food, which made her breathe a sigh of relief, and the worry in her heart gradually disappeared.

On this day, several sons of the Prime Minister's Mansion came to visit Liu Chengming, because the Chen family moved him to Linyuezhai, the inner courtyard here, several brothers naturally do not come often, this day happened to be closed in the academy, so the eldest son Liu Chengchuan, the second son Liu Chengyue and the young master Lu Ziqing made an appointment to visit together.

Although Liu Chengming has a bad relationship with Liu Ruxue, he has a good relationship with several elder brothers, especially the talented cousin, who has studied poetry hard these days, and there are just a lot of things he doesn't understand.

"Cousin Ziqing, I have read the first volume of the Book of Poetry these days, and there are many things I don't understand in it, and I hope that my cousin will give me advice."

Lu Ziqing smiled, it happened that the other two were also elegant people who loved poetry, the four of them sat together and discussed, and they talked happily for a while, Liu Chengming was in a very good mood, so he instructed Jin'er on the side: "You go and ask Lufu to make some delicious snacks, let her make more, and make some wine-stuffed balls." ”

Jin'er immediately nodded and went out, went to the small kitchen to give instructions, Meng Xiaoran immediately started to make it, and half an hour later she went to the warm pavilion with the food box.

When they entered, the four of them were chanting poems against each other, as if they were composing poems about the newly cut plum blossoms in today's vase, Meng Xiaoran lowered his head and walked in, and gently took out the snacks in the food box and put them on the table, and the wine-stuffed balls were also placed in front of them with a bowl of wine.

Lu Ziqing glanced at her quietly, a smile crossed her eyes, but Liu Chengyue on the side looked straight, he was already lustful, and when he saw such a beautiful woman, he naturally couldn't hold it, so he asked with a smile: "When did the third brother have such a stunning maid by his side, I don't seem to have seen it before?" ”

Liu Chengming nodded indifferently, "It's the maid transferred from the big kitchen by my mother, who specializes in cooking meals for me, and the craftsmanship is very good, so let's try it for several brothers." ”

A few people were chatting while eating, Meng Xiaoran and Jin'er stood aside, Meng Xiaoran lowered her head, feeling a hot gaze shooting at herself, she knew that it must be the second young master, she had heard the little drum say, this second young master ****, the maids in the house were a little bit of a look were all touched by him, she had a bad premonition in her heart, it seemed that she was still relaxed too early, but she didn't expect to solve Liu Chengming, a half-grown child, and this merry second young master appeared.

Just looking at his appearance, I know that he has been through the wind and moon for a long time, and it will not be as easy to solve as Liu Chengming, it seems that he has to be careful these days.

After a few people chatted for a while, the dim sum was finished, and a few people got up to say goodbye, Meng Xiaoran waited for them to leave, and then stepped forward to clean up the plates on the table, put them in the food box and retreated.

From the warm pavilion to the small kitchen to pass through a rockery, when she passed by the side of the rockery, she was suddenly pulled into the rockery, and when she got used to the dimness in the rockery, she recognized that this person was the second young master Liu Chengyue, who had just said goodbye and left.

Meng Xiaoran was shocked in his heart, but he still held back the anger in his heart, broke free of Liu Chengyue's big hand with skill, and asked in a cold voice: "I don't know what happened to the second young master looking for a slave?" ”

Liu Chengyue raised a smile that he thought was very charming, and his peach blossom eyes were full of charm, "Miss Green Fu's appearance is captivating, this young master fell in love at first sight, it is really difficult to give up the girl, so I waited here, I just want to see you more, doesn't the girl still understand my heart?" ”

Meng Xiaoran sneered in her heart, looked at his face, almost wanted to be disgusted, dodged his hand that wanted to touch her face, and said coldly: "Second young master, please respect yourself, Lu Fu is just a maid who cooks, and she can't stand the admiration of the second young master." ”

Liu Chengyue showed a smile on his face, in his opinion, this was just the reserved behavior of these maids before following him, and he wanted to refuse and welcome, he saw a lot, so he got closer and said ambiguously: "Don't worry about your identity, as long as you obey me, this young master will definitely not treat you badly, and after a while, when the third brother's leg is healed, I will show my mother and ask her for you." ”

Seeing this, he vigorously stretched out his hand to pinch her face, touched it with his other hand, and laughed in his mouth, "Haha, it's as smooth and tender as I imagined, I don't know if it's like that." ”

Saying that her other hand wanted to pull away her clothes, Meng Xiaoran knew that she couldn't bear it anymore, she raised her hand, ready to knock Liu Chengyue unconscious.

At this moment, Lu Ziqing's voice came from outside, "Second cousin, are you inside?" I just saw you here, and I want to ask you for advice. ”

Liu Chengyue immediately let go of Meng Xiaoran when he heard this, he always liked to pretend to be a humble gentleman outside, and such a thing of teasing the maid naturally could not be seen.

After carefully arranging his clothes, he coughed lightly, and then walked out of the rockery, "Cousin Ziqing, just now I saw the unique structure of this rockery, so I couldn't help but stop and take a closer look." ”

Lu Ziqing caught a glimpse of a pale blue figure flashing in the rockery, and smiled quietly, "Second cousin, let's go to your courtyard for a while, after all, this is the inner courtyard, and it is inconvenient." ”

A touch of unnaturalness flashed on Liu Chengyue's face, He knew that Lu Ziqing must have seen the scene in the rockery just now, otherwise he would not have said so, the two looked at each other tacitly, and then left Linyuezhai.

Meng Xiaoran, who quietly left from the other side of the rockery, felt a feeling in his heart, so calculated, it seems that he owes Lu Ziqing many times, and he has been favored by him three times when he came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, such as the time when Xue Pavilion was beaten, he came forward to relieve the siege, and later sent a jade face paste worth a thousand gold, this time it was he who came to the rescue, although even if he didn't say anything, he would not suffer, but after knocking the second young master unconscious, she would probably be difficult to deal with.

Meng Xiaoran thought all the way, and wrote down this favor in his heart, and thanked him when he had the opportunity in the future.

Liu Chengyue thought that Lu Ziqing was just talking casually, but he didn't expect him to really go to his yard, and let his close attendant Lanyue go to Moyuzhai to bring a large stack of books, and the two discussed it in the study.

If you want to say that Liu Chengyue is just a fancy shelf with a pretending appearance, he has learned some poetry on weekdays, and it is okay to tease Miss Maiden outside, but compared with Lu Ziqing, who has real talent and learning, it is simply a world of difference, an hour later, his eyes are already dazzled, his head is dizzy, but Lu Ziqing does not seem to have finished yet.

The two stopped for lunch at noon, Liu Chengyue thought it was over, who knew that after only half an hour of rest, Lu Ziqing pulled him into the study again, and the two discussed from afternoon to sunset, until Liu Chengyue's face was earthy, and his eyes were full of gold stars.

Before leaving, Lu Ziqing said very "kindly": "The second cousin is interested in these poems, so Ziqing will leave these, and the second cousin will come to ask for advice after reading Ziqing." After speaking, he didn't look at Liu Chengyue's wonderful face, and left with a light smile like the wind.

Liu Chengyue looked at the stack of books on the desk, suddenly felt nauseous, ran to the side and retched, angry and hateful in his heart, but he couldn't take him, who wants someone to be the son of the Admiral of Jiumen, and he is just a concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
