"Once the fish jumped over the lake, and once the rhyme of the book was chrysanthemum;

Once there was no doubt about the moon, and the sunrise shone on the mountains and rivers.

The spring breeze has not risen, but the autumn is cold, and the clouds are gloomy, separating the distant peaks and Lan;

The nest of the swallow has not risen, and there are people leaving, and there are tears along the way.

Once all the clouds were empty, once they were held into the mud,

The lake has not dried up, the fish have died, and although the sun rises, the mountain has collapsed!

Since then, the cloud mud road,

Since then, the two have forgotten each other......"

Accompanied by the bright moon in the sky, a bleak and resentful minor tune lingered over the Fushan Courtyard for a long time, and everyone who heard it wept......

The next day, the people who got up early in the morning to work found that today's Ninglu Hall was heavily guarded, it can be said that there were posts everywhere, and every step was a sentry, especially the meeting hall of the flag owner, which was heavily guarded, and anyone who wanted to enter and exit here had to go through the examination again and again before passing. All the maids who were waiting in the front hall held their breath and were cautious, for fear of being severely punished for the slightest mistake.

In Hanxiang Courtyard, Aunt Meng sent everyone to work in Xishui Garden, leaving only Danyu. At this moment, Aunt Meng was frowning tightly, and Tong Danyu, who looked nervous, whispered something.

"Is that man reliable?" Aunt Meng asked in a low voice.

"Don't worry, I've been raising this person for more than a year, and he's absolutely reliable. Besides, he doesn't need to do anything, just tell us what he hears and sees. At this time, Danyu Orchid's fingers were no longer warped, and his voice returned to a normal male voice.

"It's better to be careful, the old woman keeps an eye on me! It's been a few years and I still can't enter her yard, I originally wanted to send Zhaoqian in, but that idiot just knows that there is no interest in competing with others and being jealous, and I have delayed my efforts in the past few years, alas, I really can't explain to the master if I go on like this. Aunt Meng shook her head with a headache.

"It doesn't matter, can't we also collect a lot of useful information at the gold mining meeting before the Fuliu meeting, which can help the owner a lot. I heard that there are a lot of big goods to be sold at this gold mining fair, and when we send these news out, the owner will definitely be happy, and you will not be so tight about your task. Danyu comforted.

"That's all there is to it, how are you doing with those secret passages?"

"It's still being investigated, but the results will be available soon. The villagers who built the secret passage have already found a few and have arranged for people to keep an eye on them. ”

Aunt Meng nodded and said, "Be careful in everything, don't be too quick to show your feet!" Then he sat up straight again, regained his former dignified and majestic manners, raised his voice and said, "Danyu, how is the preparation of Xishui Garden?" You need to use snacks, the Fuliu Club is about to officially start, but you can't make a mistake! ”

"Auntie, don't worry, the little one will go check it out!" With a feminine voice and a bewitching orchid finger, Danyu twisted his body and retreated.

Although there are not so many guards arranged in the back hall of Ninglu Hall, the atmosphere is also tense, except for the Xishui Garden, which is still busy, there is basically no action in other places, whether it is the owner or the subordinate, they try to minimize the number of times they go out, and the atmosphere is very dignified and depressing.

Ping'er and Pan'er also tried to talk as little as possible, even if they didn't say a good word, it would make the girl sad again. In order to make her happier, the two cooked a lot of Zhuo Xi's favorite meals on weekdays and sent them to her room.

However, to their surprise, Zhuo Xi did not cry and wipe away her tears, and was still reading calmly - no, she was sorting out the books and some of her belongings.

"Girl, what are you doing here?" Ping'er suppressed her urge to cry, took Zhuo Xi's hand, and made her stop.

"I'll tidy up my things, and if I leave here tomorrow, I'll take them with me, so I won't be in a hurry." Zhuo Xihui held Ping'er's hand and said.

"Girl, you wait patiently, maybe Lord Lanyang will come back in the afternoon!" Pan'er also rushed to Zhuo Xi and said eagerly.

Zhuo Xi shook his head and said to them: "It's useless, even if he comes now, it won't help." ”

Turning around and seeing the food they put on the table, Zhuo Xi smiled and said, "We haven't eaten together for so long, let's have a reunion dinner together today!" ”

This is a reunion dinner, it is clearly a casual dinner! Zhuo Xi said goodbye to the two maids who got along day and night in this way.

"Girl!" Ping'er finally couldn't help crying, and Pan'er also turned her back to hide her face and wept softly.

Zhuo Xi picked up a cup of tea and said with great emotion: "It is our fate to meet here, although we have not been together for a long time, but this is my happiest day during this time, Ping'er, Pan'er, thank you, you are like my family, I will always remember you!" Maybe today is our last day together, and I'll toast you with tea instead of wine! ”

"Girl, don't say that......" Ping'er couldn't stop crying.

"Girl, in fact, it's our ...... who want to say thank you" Pan'er also picked up the teacup, holding back her tears from flowing, she didn't want to add a trace of sadness to the girl's heavy heart.

"Yes, girl, we should respect you, thank you for always treating us as sisters, no matter what happens in the future, we will always remember you!" Ping'er also tried to stop sobbing and stood up with her teacup.

"Okay, let's not be so sad, maybe we will see each other in the future!" Zhuo Xi pulled them to sit down, she just wanted to chat with them and talk about her heart, it was not her intention to make such a parting from life and death.

"No matter where you are in the future, you must cherish yourself, no matter what others think of you, you must be yourself." Zhuo Xi said softly.

"Pan'er, you are a little impatient at times, you must see more in the future, think more, and wait until you understand it before you do it!" Zhuo Xi has always spoken neatly and neatly, never dragging mud and water, but now he has begun to chatter, "Ping'er, you are careful and cautious, but sometimes you are a little bold, try to let go of yourself slowly in the future, don't think about things in a bad way." ”

Both maids nodded tearfully, they didn't usually hear the girl say this about themselves, and if they could, they would listen to it all the time, even for the rest of their lives.

Zhuo Xi took out two small cloth bags, pushed them in front of the two of them, and said, "I don't have any good things to give you, these are some gadgets that have been accumulated on weekdays, so I'll leave them to you!" ”

The two maids felt sour in their hearts, and opened the cloth bag with trembling hands, and Pan'er's cloth bag contained a handkerchief of colorful butterflies and peonies, a sachet exuding a faint jasmine fragrance, and a pair of pearl earrings...... These things she inadvertently said she liked, but she didn't expect Zhuo Xi to remember them and give them to herself.

In Ping'er's cloth bag is a hibiscus bead hairpin, a handkerchief with words written on it, and a delicate and small bronze mirror...... Once Zhuo Xi accidentally got rid of the wooden hairpin on Ping'er's head, and then wanted to give her this pearl hairpin, but she refused to ask for it; The words on the handkerchief were the ones I had asked Zhuo Xi for advice before; The bronze mirror was held in his hand for a long time and then put down, and now Zhuo Xi gave it to her.

The two maids looked at the contents of the cloth bag, and couldn't control their emotions anymore, Pan'er cried "wow" and threw herself into Zhuo Xi's arms, shouting sadly: "This is not fair, not fair!" Why do so many women want girls to go to the flower tree? The girl is here for less than a month and is leaving, I don't want to leave the girl, I don't want to leave the girl......"

Ping'er knelt in front of Zhuo Xi with a "poof", pulled her with tears and said, "Girl, you can't go, not only we can't bear you, but Lord Lanyang can't give up on you!" I thought about it, if someone voted for the girl's post, I would take the girl's place and travel on your behalf......"

Zhuo Xi pulled them up one by one, wiped away their tears, and said, "I know that you are all for my good, but I am the one who goes up the flower tree, this is my own business, and I am not allowed to involve you as well." Don't worry, I'm not that vulnerable, and I can still live well even if I leave here! It's the two of you, it's worrying here, you must take care of yourselves! As he spoke, two tears slipped from Zhuo Xi's eyes.

Hearing this, the two maids cried even more, and suddenly Pan'er pushed Zhuo Xi away violently and said, "I'm going to find Mo Yi and ask him if he sent the letter out last night, and when will Lord Lanyang come back?" With that, he pushed open the door and ran out.

Zhuo Xi became anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly chased after Pan'er and shouted: "Pan'er come back quickly, don't go out and make trouble again!" ”

"Girl, just let her go, yesterday we have asked Moyi to fly the pigeon to pass the book to Lord Lanyang, maybe there will be a reply today!" Ping'er grabbed Zhuo Xi and explained to her what happened yesterday.

"Ping'er, go and chase Pan'er back, think about it, since I have been on the flower tree but can stay in Fushan Courtyard, someone must be secretly watching us, and the Fuliu Club is about to open, it is estimated that the entire Condensation Hall is guarded by guards, don't waste your efforts in vain, be careful of getting into trouble again!" Zhuo Xi anxiously analyzed Ping'er.

Ping'er thought about it carefully, what the girl said was very reasonable, let's chase Pan'er back first!

Ping'er chased to the door, but saw Pan'er standing by the door as if talking to someone.

Could it be Mo Yi? Ping'er walked forward quickly, but saw Tongbo standing outside the door.

Tong Bo took a cloth bag in his hand and stretched it forward, wanting to hand it to Pan'er, but Pan'er held the door frame with both hands, and a pair of round eyes stared straight at Tong Bo, neither speaking nor reaching out to take it.

"Kiribo!" Ping'er hurriedly pulled Pan'er away and asked, "Uncle Tong, do you have something to say to our girl?" ”

Uncle Tong nodded awkwardly and shook his head, turned the cloth bag and stretched it out to Ping'er, and said, "This is what the master brought to Miss Zhuo Xi, please transfer it to Miss Zhuo Xi, the master asked me to bring a message to Miss Zhuo Xi, so that she can cherish it more!" ”

When Ping'er took the cloth bag, Tongbo hurriedly turned around and left. Ping'er turned around and said to Pan'er: "You, the girl just said that you asked you to see and think more when you are in trouble, why did you block Tongbo at the door in a blink of an eye?" ”

"No, it's Uncle Tong's speech that is too ugly, he said that Mr. Hongan is unwell and has closed the door, so let's not disturb him no matter how big the matter is. This Fuliu Club is about to start, doesn't he pass this on to make it clear that he doesn't want to care about the girl? ”

"Alas!" Ping'er sighed and said, "No one can count on it now, let's go back and discuss with the girl what to do." ”

Ping'er handed the cloth bag to Zhuo Xi, Zhuo Xi opened it and exclaimed softly: "It's Cheng Ying's scarf!" ”
