The winter in the north is far colder than in the south, however, the cold wind is howling outside, but the house with the warm kang is warm, and it is enough to wear a close-fitting jacket, and the hands and feet are warm. At this time, Shen Yue, who came to the north for the first time, sat in front of the embroidery frame by the window, thinking that when he was in Nanjing in the past, the house relied on that charcoal basin to heat in winter, although it couldn't freeze, but he always had to rely on the stove to keep warm, and he couldn't do any work, but now he was able to concentrate on needlework, and he couldn't help but show a smile.

"When I go back to Nanjing in the future, I must ask my father and brother to make a kang for my grandmother, so that I can cure my grandmother's old rheumatism......"

Muttering these words, seeing that the embroidery frame had only made a little progress, she couldn't help but sigh discouragedly, and picked up her hand from under the embroidery frame with a bitter face. She is a gentleman who has been studying since she was a child but is angry, and she has been a needlemaster since elementary school, and she only has some talent in martial arts. But now it's troublesome to embroider something, it's only the beginning of the past few days, and it's all complicated sets of needles, how can she persevere?

"If you can't hold on, you have to persevere, at least for a year or two, I don't believe that I can't even do a wedding dress!"

As soon as Ruyi entered the room, when she heard the vicious voice of her own lady, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. Seeing Shen Yue glaring back at her, she walked forward quickly with the small tea tray of red lacquer in her hand, and said with a smile: "Miss, what's embarrassing, this big red color, everyone knows what you're embroidering!" If you want me to say, let me and Mother Li fight you. ”

What does this so-called beating down mean, where does Shen Yue not understand. Thinking about the female red work that was used to fool his mother, eight out of ten were made by them. But now it's her turn to dress her wedding dress, although she has been tossed by the embroidery needle several times, and she also carries it with a hard heart, and immediately said stiffly: "I said I don't need it, I can pick up the knife and gun, I don't believe I can't play with this embroidery needle!" ”

"Okay, okay, just Miss you."

Ruyi teased in his mouth, but he was also happy in his heart, secretly glad that Li Qingniang still had a way, and with such a most troublesome deed, Shen Yue couldn't be distracted to care about other things at all-to let this master know that those bigwigs in the court were firing at Xu Xun, and he didn't know what scary things he would do! Last time, she jumped into the Qinhuai River, and if she jumped back to Shichahai again this time, then she would not be scared to death, but would have to be tossed to death!

Shen Yue took the small teacup that Ruyi held, drank half a small cup in one go, and then put down the teacup and said: "Everything is good in this capital, and it is only cold outside in winter, even if you don't drink water for a while, your mouth will be burning, and your face and hands will be very dry." When spring begins, let's make more flower dew to prepare...... That's right, instead of opening this half-dead ready-to-wear shop, it is better to make some rouge gouache and flower dew and the like to sell. Didn't there be a well-known rouge shop in Jinling at home? I still remember how to do it......"

After racking her brains and thinking for a while, she finally got discouraged and almost didn't lie on the embroidery stand. She did it because her grandmother was prone to cracking of her heels due to a hidden disease that fell when she was young, but soaking her feet in flower dew and water in winter can alleviate it. As for rouge gouache...... She usually uses it less, and even if she does use it, she always uses ready-made ones from the shop at home, when did she make it herself?

Ruyi knew that her young lady had such a temper for a while, so she didn't persuade her, smiled and put the teapot in the pouch to warm it, and then quietly withdrew from the house. When she left the courtyard and went to the front shop to see how the business was going, she found that there was an extra customer wearing a hat in the ready-to-wear shop that few people were looking for these days. Take a closer look, who else is there who is not the monk Huitong who escorted them on the ship in Gaoyou? It's just that Li Qingniang is staring at Huitong with an unusually cold gaze, as if she has a deep hatred.

"Mom's ......"

"It's none of your business here, go inside and watch the eldest lady, don't let her come outside!" After Li Qingniang said this, seeing that Ruyi was stunned and did not move, she immediately lowered her face and scolded, "Go quickly, don't stick here!" ”

Although Li Qingniang has always been a soft-spoken and good-natured surname, but after getting along for many years, Ruyi didn't know what a terrible character this character was after changing his face, so he hurriedly agreed and quickly slipped away from the back door. At this time, Li Qingniang looked at Huitong coldly, and after a long stalemate, she said: "You and I are our own masters, and the well water does not interfere with the river water, but you go to check my details, what do you want to do?" ”

"It's not that each is his master, Miss Shen will not be Mrs. Xu in the future?" Huitong smiled with a hippie smile, and then said casually, "Besides, to check your past, it was just because I was curious, who knows what I can really find." Even if Mother Li no longer thinks about the events of the year and doesn't want to avenge that arrow, she will never forget her daughter, right? ”

"You ......" Li Qingniang forcibly cut off the question that almost blurted out in her mouth, and then sneered, "To tell you the truth, you checked the wrong direction!" I am just an ordinary woman who knows two handfuls of flowers, not the daughter of Li Fuyang, who used to be called a hundred households in the West Factory, and I don't have a husband! ”

"Then when I didn't say anything!" Huitong shrugged his shoulders bare and immediately turned around and walked outside the store, and said without looking back, "That motherless girl is regarded as a burden by her family, and she has not yet married at the age of twenty-two, and now she is ready to give a widower who is twenty years older than her, you should not know!" ”

Li Qingniang originally endured and endured, but when she heard this, she finally changed color, and immediately jumped out of the counter like this, and then grabbed Huitong, who had already arrived at the door, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" ”

"Mother Li finally admitted it?" Huitong turned his head unhurriedly, and when he saw Li Qingniang's face was pale, he sighed and said, "It's all the end of the world, what's not to admit it!" Monk, when I was in the scenery of the West Factory, there was a woman who was ready to marry back, but I ran away with someone immediately, what are you! It's simple to say, try to bring people back while your daughter is out; It's hard to say, after all, people don't know if you are a mother. Anyway, I'll tell you the address of that house, and you can decide for yourself. ”

Although he initially suspected that Huitong had another purpose, the other party readily told the doors of which street and alley were the first few doors, and Li Qingniang's initial anger and annoyance were dispelled a lot. After all, no matter what two people say, they have fallen because of the same thing, and it is not enough to say that they are naturally close, but they can always talk together.

"That's what you're coming to me for today?"

"Of course not!" Huitong saw that Li Qingniang let go of her hand and walked back to the back of the counter, so she walked over, her elbows on the counter, as if the old customer had nothing to gossip, and lowered her voice and said, "Looking at Miss Shen's appearance, I probably don't know about the turmoil these days, but you don't know, right?" The prince asked me to track down this matter, do you know who I found? ”

"Could it be that Xu Yi?"

"It's not right, but it's not far away." Huitong muttered a sentence in a crepe manner, and then said with a straight face, "How can he be a small person, how can he know about the forbidden things?" So I checked forward, and learned from the mouth of one of his entourages that on the day Liu Shan Lingchi, the eldest prince of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, Qi Jiliang, had seen him. You must know that that that day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Shen were in a big trouble in the eldest princess's mansion, and the prince even hijacked Qi Jiliang for a time to break through and get out of trouble, so it is normal for people to hate him to the bone. The problem is that Qi Jiliang has now asked the girl to draw an image of Miss Shen, and people are looking for people all over the city! ”

"What!"

Li Qingniang is genuine, shocked and angry this time - although her daughter is a close relative, after all, she has not seen her for many years, and she is far less close to Shen Yue, who is almost like a daughter. Therefore, when she thought of the consequences of the incident, she almost clenched her fists fiercely, and she couldn't wait to kill Qi Jiliang who caused trouble.

However, he only thought that it was the girl from the Xing'an Bo Mansion or the Wei Guogong Fangyuan and the Dingguo Mansion, plus the subordinates of the Renhe Eldest Princess Mansion didn't see it very clearly, the graphics were not like it, and he didn't know the name, so he could be safe in a short time, but if this matter is not resolved, the risk will be too great. You must know that the prince will stay in the forbidden place for three months, and I can't get there even if I have great ability; And Xing'an Bo said yesterday that he had just received an appointment from the Ministry of War, and he was appointed to the military capital governor's mansion after the book, and it was already a big trouble every morning, and his family couldn't finish cleaning up, so I could only look for you, and we had to refer to a way to come out. ”

"If you want to see more, go inside."

Almost as soon as the voice of the Hui call fell, such a voice came from the back door. Li Qingniang and Huitong turned around almost at the same time, and saw the little girl picking up a corner of the door curtain, revealing half of her face, and immediately looked at each other. Li Qingniang almost immediately rushed forward, and before the little ancestor could speak, Shen Yue rushed forward and said: "I just happened to think of one thing and came out to find my mother, and I was suspicious, it turned out that you were the great monk." In that case, let's close the store first, and let's talk about it later! ”

Seeing Shen Yue's stubborn face, Li Qingniang had no choice but to rely on her, and Huitong had to smile and sing a big reparation, nothing more than saying that he didn't mean to hide Yunyun, but in fact, he was afraid that this strong little girl with the surname would make some ruthless moves. When he arrived at the inner hall and brought tea to him, Shen Yue asked carefully about the original. After understanding the cause and effect of the incident, she tilted her head and thought about it, and suddenly took out a jade pendant from her arms.

"This was given to me by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the beginning, and it should be something from the palace. Xu Xun said that the great monk you are the most scheming, take this to scare that Qi Jiliang, you should be the best, right? ”

Huitong took the jade pendant, and after a while, his eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile: "Then you still need to say?" Don't worry, Miss, with this thing, I will definitely handle this matter properly, except for this hidden danger! ”

"Hey, although Qi Jiliang doesn't learn well at a young age, don't do too much!"

"Of course, after all, he is the son of the eldest princess, so it's good to be scared. Don't worry, this matter has to be done by the good old man Xinganbo, and he can't do anything to kill them all. ”
