The mountains are not better than the outside of the mountains, the bluestone is cold and cold to the bone, the wind is steep and the sky is approaching, fortunately, the Yin family is a good hand in business, a car of high-quality charcoal fire is transported into the state to the mountain villa, the earth dragon burned every inch of the house, walking in the open space feel warm and warm.

The small new yard on the village, surrounded by mountains and rivers, is exquisitely decorated, which is suitable for her daughter. When the sun rises, even if it can't warm up and cold in winter, it is also comfortable to look at.

Shen Yuan was dressed in a long jacket with ginger red sprinkled gold squirrel skin, a feather gauze jacket, a thick Manjiang red thick silver satin wind wool cloak tied on the outside, a cloisonné enamel inlaid eight-treasure reunion hand stove in his arms, his hair was scattered, and two loose braids were braided with phoenix tail silver ribbons, and he comfortably leaned on the rattan circle swing chair to bask in the sun.

Scarlet Moon and Scarlet Cloud also followed the customs, changing into a homely dress, a green jacket, a turmeric cotton skirt, one pushing a swing, and the other taking care of the stove tea. The snow-white ball in the corner under the swing frame turned out to be a small lion cat, Yin Huai'an had nothing to do to play, and sent it over temporarily, just to relieve Shen Yuan's boredom.

Sheng Qiuxiao was afraid that he was a foreigner, and after meeting and thanking Yin Huai'an, he followed Oiran to his residence, and then said that he wanted to settle down, and stayed in the room with Xiaoju's master and servant, and he was always reluctant to come out.

The group came in a hurry, and as soon as they finished reading the letter that they had borrowed to live in the precious land for a few days, the carriage and horses of the Leng Xiang Pavilion arrived at the mountain gate. However, there is no rush to take care of it, the state is warm and clean, and it is most suitable to recuperate in winter, Yin Huai'an has already prepared to invite Shen Yuan to come, and it doesn't hurt to bring one more person.

Half a cup of freshly made smoked bean tea into the throat, still not seeing the autumn Xiao come out, Shen Yuan put down the blue and white fine porcelain fish play lotus bowl, and was about to summon the scarlet cloud into the house to call someone, a maid from the village came in at the gate of the courtyard, followed by the foreman of the Leng Xiang Pavilion A Quan, respectfully came forward to salute, said the lady's orders, special news.

The maid retreated outside the courtyard to wait, Shen Yuan beckoned, and Ah Quan took half a step, bowed his head and bent slightly to reply.

It's a wonderful one, and it's only a few words of effort to pick the most important and crucial. Ah Quan replied, and carefully took out a silver and red plum note from his arms, bowed down and presented it with both hands: "And this, it is a letter sent to the building by the son, but it happens that the young lady is not at home, so the lady will ask the little one to send it together." ”

Shen Yuan took it and nodded, with a shallow smile on his cold face: "I know, go back and thank Madame for presiding." You have a run, Scarlet Cloud, pour a cup of tea for Ah Quan, and take a break after eating. You go to Scarlet Moon, grab a few more money for him, and buy snacks to eat on the way. ”

Ah Quan was flattered, and thanked him happily: "Miss has been raised, the little one has no mother since he was a child, and he begged for food on the street, if it wasn't for Mrs. taking pity on me, I would have frozen to death on the street." As long as he can do something for Mrs. and Miss, Ah Quan will be very happy even if he breaks his leg! ”

Shen Yuan smiled but didn't answer, Scarlet Moon had already come back from a trip, took a handkerchief and put a few heavy coins, handed it to Ah Quan with his own hands, and brought out a white porcelain teacup, which was taken by Scarlet Yun and filled with smoked bean tea.

Ah Quan held the teacup, and suddenly a fragrant fragrance hit his nose, the salty and fresh tea soup slipped into his stomach, and the wind and cold all the way up the mountain were also dispelled.

The maid on the village led the little girl to retreat, and the scarlet clouds went down to wash the cups, and turned around to face the master and servant of Sheng Qiuxiao. Without waiting for Shen Yuan to speak, Qiu Xiao had already raised his hands, and Ying Ying bowed down: "Sister Lao bothered for me, the kindness of Mrs. and Miss, if Qiu Xiao has the opportunity, he will repay him." ”

Xiao Ju knelt down, her forehead slammed on the ground, and the two of them also felt pain in their faces. Shen Yuan smiled sweetly, and looked at Qiu Xiao with crooked eyes: "While Qiu'er is settling down, she can still free up her mind and listen to what is happening outside, it can be seen that she is a good hand at managing the family, and I don't know who will be cheaper in the future." Stand up, don't always kneel to me, come and sit. ”

There is no Oiran lady in the Zhoulai Villa, and the Leng Xiang Pavilion Master and the Sheng family girl are more like sisters in the boudoir, Shen Yuan lifted his eyelids and raised his chin towards the empty space beside him.

Qiu Xiao held his knees with both hands, stood up with the corners of his skirt, and as he raised his head, he smiled shyly and whispered: "Mr. Yin is very thoughtful, where do you really need to do it yourself, it's not a newcomer, in someone else's yard, it's not good to show up, and if you accidentally bump into someone, it's not a trouble for you." ”

She was wearing a thick daffodil makeup silk thread cotton skirt, it didn't hurt or cold when she knelt down, her knees were a little sore, she evacuated after two steps, stood on the edge of the swing and pushed gently. Shen Yuan was strange and asked why he didn't sit, Qiu Xiao snorted, quite embarrassed: "It's fun to sway, but I don't dare to sit, so I'll help you push it, and I've enjoyed it too." ”

Shen Yuan scolded with a smile, and scolded Shang Ke happily at the scoundrel, how could he be frightened by a swing. Qiu Xiaowaner, Miss Dao is right, don't talk back to her.

"I'm stupid, I overheard you in vain, and I still don't understand something." Sheng Qiuxiao held on to the thick swing rope, and was affirmed by the eyes of the little pavilion master, before he continued: "They ...... Their family has already communicated with that Master Li, and the person surnamed Li must know about me, and when he sees that the person who sent him is wrong, how can he give up? Since the Sheng family wants to make a job, how could they not think of this layer, so they agreed to let the singer go? ”

The swing squeaked, the breeze was blowing, Shen Yuan was blown a little, shrunk and gathered the placket of the cloak, and hugged the hand stove a little tighter. She stretched out her hand, slid out a section of the cuffs with dense hair, and pulled Qiu Xiao to her side: "You sit down, there is nothing to be afraid of when you get used to it." You are right and wrong, the people in their family want to please, but they didn't find the right way, and they didn't have full confidence, so they asked me and A-Niang to take advantage of the loophole. ”

"What do you mean by that?" Sheng Qiuxiao sat down hesitantly, clenched the armrest, and was stunned when he heard the words.

Shen Yuan was even weaker in winter, and after talking for a long time, he was a little tired, but it did not prevent the undisguised sarcasm from floating on his handsome face. She knew that Qiu Xiao was uneasy, and felt that she was fine, so she waved her hand and called Scarlet Cloud to pass the tea, moistened her throat, leaned on the thick and soft plum blossom embroidery mat, and said carefully.

"A low-end governor, thrown in the yamen, can't say a few words, has long passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and is still spinning around in Bapin, what is this called? The mud bodhisattva crossed the river, and it was difficult to protect himself, so your cheap brother couldn't recognize the true god, so he rushed to the knot. In your opinion, is this trying to please you, but you haven't found the right way? ”

Qiu Xiao nodded frequently, giving birth to a sudden realization. Shen Yuan paused slightly, took a break, and continued to talk about the calculations of the mother and daughter in the middle of the night in Xiaolou.
