Chapter 12: Pastries in Qingyuan

"What do you say? Lian took a woman back to the yard? Who are you listening to about this? ”

Mochizuki was in the center, Ji Min's eyes widened, and he looked at the maid Xiang'er in front of him.

"The slave maid also listened to the people in the house, the Hou Ye didn't go into the backyard for some days, and even the aunt was worried about falling out of favor, so she deliberately got a woman back, wanting to help her fix her favor."

told Ji Min all the news she knew, and Xiang'er looked worried at this time.

"Auntie, how is this good? Aunt Lian is already quite favored, but she still wants to be favored, we can't just look at it! ”

In the mansion of Hou Ye Shen Xiao, there are a total of four concubine rooms, and two through rooms, all of whom are beauties.

Tongfang is not worth mentioning, as for the four concubine rooms, they can be regarded as having their own merits.

can be in charge of the internal affairs of the Hou Mansion, the Xiao family is undoubtedly the most favored, followed by the Lian family, after all, he entered the mansion with the Xiao family.

The remaining two, one lives in Mochizuki-ju and the other lives in Akisui-ju.

It is said that three women are in one play, but there are more than three women in the backyard of this Hou Mansion, so in the past, open and secret battles were always indispensable.

Among the four concubines, the most brainless one is Ji Min, who lives in Mochizuki Residence, that is, Xiang'er's master.

Obviously not the most favored one, but always delusional to get the right to be in charge, among the four, she is also the most jealous.

This is also the reason why Xiao is eyeing her, she is jealous, but she has no brains, even if she is used, she will not notice it.

After listening to Xiang'er, Ji frowned, she felt that she should do something and not let Lian's plan succeed.

"Do you want to find a way to inquire, what does the woman Lian brought back to the yard look like, have you ever seen the master?"

After a long time, Ji Shi opened his mouth and instructed Xiang'er, Xiang'er answered, and then retreated.

…………

"You mean, Lien took the new lady back to her yard? I remember before, wasn't she brought to Jingyuan by the Xiao family? ”

Qiushui was in the center, leaning on the petite woman sitting on the soft couch, and asked the maid in front of her suspiciously.

"If you go back to your aunt, it's true, but the new lady seems to have suddenly changed her sex, and she tossed Aunt Xiao a lot, and the slave and maid estimated that Aunt Lian took the new lady back to her yard because she wanted to anger Aunt Xiao."

Hui'er smiled and spoke, and replied to the Yao family on the soft couch, don't look at the Yao family is the latest to enter the mansion, and the age is also the youngest, but the mind is a lot more realistic.

This master is smart, and the people around him are not stupid, after Hui'er finished speaking, Yao nodded.

"Well, I guess that's the case, this Lian family and the Xiao family have always been at odds, but I'm curious, why did the new lady suddenly change sex?"

"You go and inquire and see what the Lian family wants to do? I thought the new lady was a wreck, but if she really changed sex, it would be a lively sight. ”

Blinking his eyes, Yao looked at Hui'er with a smile, Hui'er responded, blessed her body, and then retreated.

Seeing Hui'er go out, Yao leaned on the soft couch, playing with his hair, and wondered in his heart that if the new lady really changed sex, it would be more advantageous for him to stand on which side.

Yan Su didn't know that living in Lian Wanrou's Listening to the Rain Pavilion would cause such a big reaction in the backyard of the Hou Mansion.

For her, the most important thing is to be able to eat, drink and sleep well at the moment.

Only when one's body is repaired, and people are healthy and healthy, and flesh grows, can they ponder something else.

…………

"Master, the new lady was taken to Tingyu Pavilion by Aunt Lian, and Aunt Lian also paid for repairs in Jingyuan."

Qin Feng reported all the news he got to Shen Xiao, and after listening to Qin Feng, Shen Xiao raised his eyebrows.

He didn't expect that Lian Wanrou would intervene sideways, originally he thought that he would meet the new lady's request and let her pick up a money bag or something, but now it seems that it is much better for someone to repair the yard than to pick up a money bag.

"Got it, how's the preparation?" In the end, he is doing things for the emperor, Shen Xiao can't stay in the capital all the time, he just took over a task recently, and he needs to go out to do something.

"It's ready, you can go at any time, Xiao He has already taken the first step and went to Jincheng to investigate the situation."

As soon as he got down to business, Qin Feng's whole person suddenly changed, and he replied in a respectful tone.

"This time you stay in the mansion, you pay more attention to the movements in the capital, and send the landscape painting in my study to Nalan."

After listening to Qin Feng's words, Shen Xiao nodded and commanded him.

"Master, isn't that landscape painting new to you?" After listening to Shen Xiao, Qin Feng was a little surprised, but he knew how much effort his master had put into that landscape painting.

"Send it." Without explanation, Shen Xiao spoke lightly, Qin Feng responded, and then retreated.

According to the previous rules, hot water and pastries were sent into the house, and looking at the pastries on the table, Shen Xiao walked towards the bath barrel behind the screen.

After washing, Shen Xiao did not go into the inner room to rest as usual, he sat at the table, looked at the pastries on the table, and for a long time, he reached out and twisted a piece.

Eating in small bites, Shen Xiao frowned, he didn't like sweets, the sweetness of this pastry made him very uncomfortable.

After eating a small piece of pastry, Shen Xiao picked up the water on the table, and after taking a few sips, he felt a lot more comfortable.

"What is there to eat...... muttered softly, Shen Xiao stood up and walked towards the inner room.

…………

Yan Su was lying on the soft and comfortable bed, and she couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the bed curtain above her head.

When she was in Jingyuan before, she couldn't eat enough and couldn't live well, but she rested well, but now, she eats well and lives well, but she can't sleep anymore.

Sitting up, Yan Su shook his head helplessly, thinking that at this time before, he usually looked for food in the house, and it was really rare to rest early like this.

Unable to sleep, she simply got out of bed, although there was no light in the house, but it was close to fifteen, and the moonlight was still good, so it was not dark in the house.

After drinking some water, Yan Su suddenly had the urge to go out for a walk, she put on her coat, opened the door and walked out of the house.

The courtyard door of Tingyu Pavilion has been closed, and if you want to open the door, you will inevitably alarm others, Yan Su hesitated for a moment, and walked up along the wall, sure enough, in the courtyard of Tingyu Pavilion, there is also a dog hole.

Glancing around, Yan Su crawled out of the dog hole, fortunately, the guards in the house did not patrol here at this time, otherwise when they saw Yan Su, they would have to arrest her as a thief.

Out of the dog hole, Yan Su patted the ash on his body, a little glad that during the day, the sun was very sufficient, and the ground had been dried, otherwise, if he crawled out of the dog hole, the clothes on his body would definitely be dirty.

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one at this time, Yan Su identified the direction and walked towards the path.

The reason why she took the path was because she was more familiar with the path, and there were almost no guards patrolling the path, so it was more convenient to walk.

She didn't want to just walk around and get caught by the guards.

…………

Shen Xiao opened his eyes, he didn't fall asleep, I don't know why, this person who usually comes to eat pastries suddenly didn't come, he was a little unaccustomed.

This feeling made Shen Xiao frown, he didn't like this feeling, he shouldn't be the kind of person who was stumped by emotions.

Taking a deep breath, Shen Xiao decided to close his eyes and continue to sleep, but heard the sound of squirming.

Yan Su didn't know how he walked casually to the garden where he often ate pastries.

Seeing that the courtyard door was not closed, Yan Su couldn't help but walk in.

What Yan Su didn't know was that in the entire Hou Mansion, there was only Qingyuan, and the courtyard door was never closed at night, not only that, unless it was deliberately ordered, otherwise no one would come to the entire courtyard.

Even if someone comes to clean, it is a specific time of the day, this is the rule set by Shen Xiao, he doesn't like people around him to serve, and he doesn't like others to get too close to him.

There are only his two guards, Qin Feng and Xiao He, who can usually get close to him, but there will still be a certain distance.

Seeing that the courtyard door was open, Yan Su subconsciously thought that no one was there, she looked towards the room where she usually ate pastries, thought about it, and then raised her feet and walked towards the room.

The footsteps got closer and closer, and Shen Xiao in the room subconsciously got up from the bed, and then jumped directly on the roof like before.

At this time, he was a little glad that the materials used in his house were the best, so even if he jumped on the beam, there would be no problems.

The door was opened, Yan Qing probed into the room, and in order not to let people find out, she also deliberately closed the door.

Today is not cloudy, and it is approaching the fifteenth, so the house is much brighter than before.

After looking around, Yan Su's eyes fell on the table, where there was a plate of pastries as usual.

Walking to the table, Yan Su picked up a piece of pastry and ate it in small bites.

"Alas, I have a little bit of talent, although I eat and drink now, I still think about the pastries here, but the taste of this pastry is indeed better than that of Lian's."

How did Yan Su know that the pastries in Shen Xiao's room were made by the most famous pastry shop in the capital, and the taste was naturally not comparable to the chefs in the house.

After eating two pastries and drinking another glass of water, Yan Su felt sleepy, she yawned, turned around and left the room.

Out of Qingyuan, Yan Su cautiously followed the original path and returned to Lian's Tingyu Pavilion.

It's also strange to say that Yan Su couldn't sleep before, but she went out for a walk, ate two more pastries, and then returned to Tingyu Pavilion after her, just lay down for a while, and then fell asleep.

After Yan Su left, Shen Xiao jumped down from the beam of the room, looked at the pastries that had been passed, and thought of what he had just heard, Shen Xiao walked towards the inner room with an expressionless face......
