The tea in the crescent moon cup is the head stubble of winter tea, Jinling calls it frost tea, because the tea buds have not appeared, it is cold, the moisture is sufficient, after frying dry, the surface will be wrapped with a layer of hoarfrost, it is thought to be called frost tea.

The bitterness of this tea is diffuse, the tea fragrance is stronger, and then after brewing, only the tea fragrance remains, and it is the most commonly drunk tea in Jinling in winter.

And this tea can't be sold at a price in Dongdu, which is completely out of line with the taste of Dongdu people, and even the original name of "frost tea" has become "moldy tea" here, and no one cares about it.

Xinyue saw that Mama Da was pondering here at this time, so she told Mama Da about the tea in her cup, "This frosted tea is really enough to describe my marriage with the little prince." It's just that the people who drink tea are different, and in the end, they can only taste their own tastes, Mama, just answer, do it or not, and naturally I can't force Mama. ”

Hearing Xinyue say this, Da Mama picked up the teacup on the side, took a sip of the tea that Fei'er had just served, and then smiled, this is the first time that Xinyue has seen this very serious old woman laugh for so many years, and after laughing, Da Mama said, "Madam, do you know that for Prince Yu, the princess was also the frost tea in this cup at the beginning, and she was not used to drinking it." But this tea is not difficult to drink, but people are not used to it at first, but if you drink it often and drink it all the time, it will always make people like it. ”

"Mama, I don't have the princess's persistence, and I don't even have my aunt's insistence, so don't force me to stay, in this big mansion, I will suffer alive." Xinyue said in her heart, "If I still stay in this mansion, I'm afraid it will be nothing good." ”

After sending Mama Da away, Mama Li also sighed with emotion, "I really didn't expect this old stubborn to be willing to help Madame you." ”

"Mama, go back quickly, there is a foreign man in the house, although he lives in the outer courtyard, he will also walk around in the inner courtyard." Mama Li looked at Xinyue and explained again, and finally couldn't help but ask Xinyue, "Madam, do you think something will happen?" Look at it so strictly? ”

"As long as Yao'er is fine, even if I die immediately, I will die without regrets." This is the second time that Xinyue has said this to Mama Li, and Mama Li also understood, and nodded, "Madame, don't worry, the slave will definitely do a good job." ”

Xinyue sent Mama Li away, watching Mama Li slowly walk out of her yard, she stood up even more restlessly, looked up and wanted to tell Ma'er, but found that beside her, there was only one Fei'er standing who didn't know how to be good, "Madam, what you said to Mama Da and Mama Li just now is true?" Are you really going to get out of here? ”

"Indeed, as you heard, what's wrong with you?" Crescent Moon saw that she looked a little distraught.

"Can the slave beg Madame for something?"

"What?" Xinyue was uneasy at this time, and after seeing Fei'er kneeling, she could only suppress the emotions in her heart first and ask Fei'er.

Fei'er replied truthfully, "When Mrs. leaves, please leave with Fei'er, Fei'er, I want to follow Mrs. to Jinling together." ”

"You are the maid bought by the Yuwang Mansion, and you are all in this mansion, I will take you away, you have to need some reason, and you have to give me a reason." Xinyue looked up, saw Fei'er coming in, saw Fei'er kneeling in front of her, and was about to step forward, but Xinyue stretched out her hand to stop her, Fei'er continued, "Slave, I don't want to stay in this Yuwang Mansion anymore, but I will take care of other ladies in the future, but Fei'er already knows what the result is, Fei'er finally got some accommodation here with Mrs., if so, if Mrs. is gone, then the slave and maid really have no future." ”

"You are a slave and maid, if you want to come out one day, then you can only collude with the lord, how can I tolerate you?" Xinyue thought what she said was very interesting, so much so that she sat down where she had been sitting again, looking at Fei'er who was kneeling on the ground.

"Madam, that's not what she meant" Feng'er stood behind Xinyue, wanting to speak for her, during this time the two of them got along, Feng'er could feel that this Fei'er was not that kind of person.

Xinyue pointed at Feng'er, "You ask her, why are you waiting by my side, Feng'er, you also kneel." ”

"Yes," she said, and she knelt next to Fei'er with her skirt up.

"How can the slave maid ask Miss Feng'er, Miss Feng'er is a person who has served Mrs. and you since she was a child, and there is no way to compare with the slave and maid." Fei'er knew that she had said the wrong thing, and immediately fell to the ground, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that she was about to cry, Xinyue softened her voice, "Then let me ask, Feng'er, let me ask you, leaving aside that you have been serving by my side since you were a child, why did you stay by my side and serve?" ”

"It's because of affection, affection for you, Madame. It's just that the lady needs someone to take care of her, and the slave is just a slave, so she naturally has to take care of the lady. ”

Fei'er understood, Xinyue smiled, "Fei'er, you are raised by Da Mama's side, if you want to be like your upbringing Mama, become the princess's personal person, even if the princess has died for many years, and she is also calling for wind and rain in this mansion, then I tell you, you can't do it with me, you also saw it, I want to go, go to live my own life." If you follow me, you can only serve by my side like Feng'er, and when you are old, I will let you go out to get married, and the person you marry is naturally not a person who stands out, so are you still willing to follow me? ”

"That's what the slave and maid mean, follow the lady out, take care of the lady by her side, and finally end up there, but with the arrangement of the lady, the slave and the maid don't want to be in this Yuwang Mansion." When Xinyue heard this, she was confused, but she was also alert in her heart, this girl would not be like this for no reason, but there was no reason for this, so Xinyue didn't know how to react for a while, "You guys get up first, this matter, we'll talk about it later, Fei'er, I'll consider what you said, nothing is important to me now, but Yao'er's matter is the most important." When we leave for Jinling, you can go with us. ”

"Yes, Mrs. Xie, Mrs. Xie." Fei'er kowtowed to Xinyue twice, and when she got up, she wiped the tears off her face.

Xinyue looked at the redness and swelling on her forehead, which was depressed because of kowtowing hard, Xinyue reached out and gently stroked her forehead, "Silly girl, if you have something to say, it hurts to kneel around." ”

"Yes, yes." Fei'er's eyes were red again, and Xinyue said to Fei'er, "You call Yao'er to me, call me immediately." ”

"Yes, yes" Fei'er saw that the new moon repeated it twice, and then knew that the situation was urgent, and immediately ran out of the door.

Xinyue raised her eyes, and Feng'er stood next to Xinyue, Xinyue looked at her and said to her, "You use the excuse of taking care of Xiao Niangzi's family in the house, and send a few little maids and rough girls to take care of Xiao Niangzi's younger brother who just came." ”

"What about taking care of him?" Feng'er understood what Xinyue meant, Xinyue raised her eyes, and with one look, Feng'er understood, "The most important thing is not to let her touch the women in the inner courtyard, especially Yao'er and... and the daughter of two aunts. ”

Xinyue knows this Xiao Nanyin's younger brother Xiao Nanfeng, isn't this the husband of Yao'er in the dream?

One of Xiao's elder brothers and one younger brother of Xiao Nanyin have reached the age of marriage.

Brother is better to say, the county guard where their service station is located, there is an only daughter, and she values Xiao's handsome big brother very much, which is also in addition to the help of King Yu's family, their family is also more comfortable in the service center.

But the people of the Xiao family were originally relatives of the emperor, if they were not convicted, let alone the daughter of a county guard, the princess in the palace was also welcome, so they naturally wanted to climb to a higher branch, except for Xiao Nanyin, the concubine of King Yu's grandson, who was active in the middle, they had nothing to do.

Xinyue understood it at the beginning, because Yao'er was in the mourning period, delayed some age, but she had not yet decided to marry, if she encountered the prince's matter again, the country was in deep mourning, King Yu and her grandson were going to put on armor and come forward, and her marriage would also be put on hold again and again, but she was about to fulfill the wishes of the Xiao family.

So when Xinyue woke up from that deep dream, the first thing she did was to personally manage Yao'er's marriage, and before the mourning period, she found the marriage of the Cao family for her.

In the middle of the night, Xinyue and the others were a little anxious, and they were about to drink saliva to moisten their throats, Fei'er trotted for a while, and said, "Madam, the slave maid went to Miss Yao's courtyard, and Mama Li had just gone back, saying that she hadn't arrived at the yard yet, and Miss Yao was called away by Xiao Niangzi." ”

"Mrs. Xiao?" Xinyue suddenly felt pain in her forehead, and Fei'er hurriedly stepped forward, "Mama Li has already gone to look for her, and she should be back." ”

"Let's go find her." As he spoke, Xinyue couldn't get the clothes she was going to go out of, so she reached out and pulled the big coat on the hanger at the door, draped it on her body and walked out.

There was a little snow outside, and Crescent stood in the doorway, and before the servants could follow, Crescent walked out.

"Ma'am, it's snowing outside." Feng'er was holding an umbrella, and Fei'er was holding her, but she couldn't keep up with her step by step.

Xinyue didn't say a word, and walked forward in the snow, no matter how the two girls persuaded her, and how the servants behind her followed, she refused to slow down a step, and finally walked out of her yard, and then passed Rong Xu's yard, which was Xiao Nanyin's residence.

Xinyue stood in front of the porch, breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to grit her teeth and continue to move forward, when she happened to meet Rong Xu, who had just come out of the door, looking at Xinyue, who was panting.

"Madam, the little prince is coming this way."

The crescent moon didn't look back, and it was almost over, so he continued to move forward.

"What's wrong with your wife?" Feng'er didn't keep up with a single step, but was stopped by Rong Xu.

"Back to the little prince, Mrs. is going to Mrs. Xiao's yard." Feng'er still wanted to follow, but Rong Xu asked again, "Did you say why?" Her face turned green with anger. ”

Yes, Xinyue's face at this time was really anxious and angry, and her steps were extraordinarily fast.

"Say yes..."

"Feng'er, go, call her out for me" Xinyue raised her voice, even Rong Xu was shocked, it's not that he hadn't seen such a battle, but Xinyue had never scolded so urgently.

"Yes, yes, madam" Feng'er had to trot and walked to the courtyard of Mrs. Xiao, the door was open, and there were servants coming and going, and Xinyue was just standing at the door, standing upright, without saying a word.

Rong Xu walked over, Xinyue looked up at him, did not salute, but said coldly, "Little prince, if Yao'er is planted in the hands of Xiao Niangzi, I will never give up with her and you." ”

"What are you talking about?" Rong Xu didn't know why.

"You don't have to worry about it, if she doesn't do anything, I will never embarrass her, if you don't feel at ease, you can watch from the side."

"I didn't mean that, I was trying to ask..."

"To the little prince, madam, please be safe." Xiao Shi moved, looking at Rong Xu and Xinyue standing in front of her door left and right, Yao'er followed behind her, and other than that, there was no trace of Xiao Nanfeng in the courtyard.

So Xinyue hooked her lips and smiled, and her face, which was originally difficult to see, also eased a little, "Yao'er, sister-in-law is looking for you, come, let's go back." ”

"Yes" Yao'er smiled and trotted in front of Xinyue, "Big brother, why are you here?" I also came with my sister-in-law, isn't it you..."Saying that, Yao'er pulled Xinyue and leaned on Rong Xu, Xinyue couldn't hold this little girl, she was unstable, she almost fell, and was held by Rong Xu, "Be careful." ”

Xinyue got up from Rong Xu's arms like a snake and scorpion, took a step to the side, and looked at Xiao Nanyin in front of him, "Xiao Niangzi, Yao'er, I'll take it away." ”

"Originally, Miss Yao was leaving." Xiao Nanyin walked out of the courtyard gate and stood on her knees in front of the crescent moon.

"Let's go," she said, and Xinyue pulled Yao'er and left.

"It seems that my sister-in-law is going to give me something delicious and useful, so I came in a hurry." Xinyue looked at Yao'er who was carrying her arm, and said to Yao'er, "Yao'er, if you have a half-point difference, I will be forgiven if I die." So, you give me a good place, good girl, it's a few days, if it's okay, don't move around. ”

"Sister Nanyin came here today to make an appointment a few days ago, she made some good embroidery patterns, and asked me to pick some. The front yard reported that Sister Nanyin's younger brother was here, and I was about to leave, and you came, sister-in-law. No, I picked a lot of tricks, and I gave it back to my sister-in-law, and I picked a good trick, you see. Saying that, Yao'er didn't wait for the yard, so she couldn't help but spread out the pattern she carefully selected, which was the lotus pattern of Panzhi, not to mention the noble and elegant appearance, but also with a little jump, which was really suitable for the crescent moon.

"That's good." Xinyue nodded, thinking about herself for such a small thing as this girl.

"Sister-in-law, Sister Xinyue, you have loved me since I was a child, and I know it in my heart. In the past, my grandmother told me that because my mother wants to take care of you, even I who was just born can be left behind, but in fact, my mother treated me very well, and at the same time brought back a good sister who took care of me more than Sister Shan'er. Before my mother died, I repeatedly explained that I wanted to listen to you. I've always listened to my mother, so I'll listen to you. Xinyue heard her say such heart-wrenching words, and her heart was also touched, and she reached out and stroked Yao'er's face, "It's been a few days." ”

"Yes, it's been a few days. But the days to come are still long, sister-in-law, don't think that if I get married, you will be able to be idle. As she spoke, Yao'er grabbed Xinyue's arm and tightened it a little more.
