Li Mingyun slept for a long time, so long that when she opened her eyes, the room was dark and dreary.

Her throat was dry and smoked, and her choked neck ached, and she couldn't help coughing a few times.

The dozing man not far away heard the movement and hurriedly ran to her.

"Miss, are you awake?"

Qiu Qing said, helped her up and poured her a glass of water to drink.

Li Mingyun finished drinking the water, covered his neck and coughed twice.

"When?" She asked, looking around.

The room was so quiet that you could hear the sound echo.

"It's almost time." Qiu Qing replied crisply, her eyes shining in the dark, "Miss, Mrs. Fang Cai came over, saw that you were still sleeping, sat for a while and left." ”

It turns out that my mother has been here.

Li Mingyun let out an "oh" and lowered his eyes.

Qiu Qing thought that she was a little disappointed when she heard that Madame was gone, and hurriedly explained: "Madame originally planned to accompany Miss, but later Steward Ji asked Madame about the congratulatory gifts from various mansions, and Madame left, and when Madame was done, she would come over." ”

"Steward Ji?"

Li Mingyun raised his head and was slightly surprised, "Isn't this matter handed over to Steward Li?" ”

"Steward Li and Escort Xue are out of the house." Qiu Qing said, "They seem to have gone to the government to find the master." ”

"What are you looking for my dad to do!" Li Mingyun's heart jumped and stood up, almost making Qiu Qing tremble.

Could it be that Xue Yan is going to tell his father about this?

said that she was captured by Yao Pu, that she might have heard what Yao Pu said, and that she knew that there was a person named Xue Yijian......

No, it can't be, Xue Yan promised that she wouldn't say it, and what he promised would be done.

Thinking of this, she eased her tension a little and sat down again.

Qiu Qing covered her beating heart and exhaled.

"The maid doesn't know, it seems that she didn't find the second master before......" she wasn't sure, "When Chunyu comes back, she may know, just now she also said a few words to Xue Guard!" ”

When she said this, her expression was like that of a child who secretly snitched.

But Li Mingyun's focus is not here at this time.

"Where did the spring rain go?" She asked, looking to the door.

The beads on the curtain sparkled like stars, and the room was bright and bright, but it was so calm that the place seemed to lack some life.

Qiu Qing said: "I went to Madame's yard, and Madame asked her to send someone to bring back all the gifts received by the third lady with Sister Baijiao." ”

She thought of something, and raised her eyebrows with joy.

"I heard that the gift from the second young master is very big and very special, and the maid also wants to see it."

Qiuqing went to Chen's courtyard before, but she didn't see the mountain and stone waterfall, when Bai Jiao went into the house, she was still playing with Chunyu grease powder.

Li Mingyun let out an "oh" and smiled faintly.

"You'll see it when she gets back." She said, looking back, "It's beautiful, I love it." ”

The second brother has always been the best to her, keeping all good things for her, and always saying that she is his only sister.

What if she wasn't his sister anymore......

Will the second brother be good to her, and will he call her sister......

Li Mingyun's nose was sore, and he raised his sleeves to cover his face and cry silently.

The sleeves were thin, and the fabric was immediately soaked with tears, and she sniffed and controlled it.

Someone's footsteps gradually sounded outside, and then several people approached with a lively conversation all the way.

Qiu Qing's eyes lit up.

"It must be the spring rain, they are coming! Miss, I'll go check it out first! She said with a smile, turned and ran out, the beaded curtain crisp by her flick.

Li Mingyun reached out to wipe her tears vigorously, moving quickly and quickly, because she didn't want others to know that she was crying again.

She went to the window, opened the curtain, and found that although it was getting late outside, the beautiful clouds were piled up, and the whole sky was red, not as dark as in the house.

She closed her eyes and let the soft evening breeze blow onto her pretty face, to her long black hair, to her cold body.

In this way, the depressed atmosphere in the heart can be relieved.

"Miss! Come out and take a look! Qiu Qing smiled and ran in again, as if the departure just now simply gave her a chance to relieve her sadness.

Li Mingyun nodded, looked at herself in the bronze mirror past the dressing table, and made sure that there was nothing wrong before she and Qiuqing walked to the outhouse.

Chunyu and Bai Jiao were smiling and instructing a few servants to bring things in, pointing to the boxes from time to time and laughing.

When they saw the young lady come out, they smiled and saluted.

Li Mingyun waved his hand and smiled mildly in response.

The servants went in and out a few times before they moved all the gifts into the house, and for a time the boxes filled most of the room.

"Third Miss." Bai Jiao looked at her and said, took out a letter from his sleeve, "You forgot to take the letter from the second young master, so the maid took it first." ”

Yes, Li Mingyun suddenly realized.

She almost forgot.

At her mother's place, she went out with a stomach full of doubts, and she didn't even take the letter on the table.

What was she thinking about at the time?

That's right, resigned.

Mother told Bai Jiao not to mention things outside.

And the picture scroll, and the people in it......

She took the letter and did not open it, but held it in her hand and squeezed it.

"White banana." She said, smiling, smiling reluctantly, "Where is Mama Zuo?" ”

Grandma Zuo was the grandmother who married with the Chen family before, and was driven to the village below for offending the old lady a few years ago.

After Chen became the head of the house, she sent someone to invite her back, but she politely declined.

The spring rain next to him looked puzzled and worried in his eyes.

Miss, what's the matter?

What did Mama Zuo do when she suddenly mentioned it?

Bai Jiao was obviously surprised by Li Mingyun's question, she opened her mouth, and almost didn't react.

"Third Miss...... What are you looking for Mama Zuo to do? She said softly.

Li Mingyun smiled.

"I remember that Mama Zuo was very good to me, and she used to make me delicious hibiscus cakes every time I had my birthday."

Mama Zuo also told her that she specially learned from the cook in Chen's mansion, because her mother and aunt both like to eat.

Mama Zuo would secretly tell her about her previous affairs in the Chen Mansion, and would also tell her that she was very much like her aunt......

For some reason, once she had this thought in her heart, she could recall many things that seemed ordinary but had deep meanings.

Bai Jiao couldn't help but smile when he heard her words.

It turned out to be a pastry made by Mama Zuo.

She said: "Miss, the hibiscus cake made by Aunt Mu is also delicious, if you want to eat it, the maid will let her make it immediately." ”

"yes!" Qiu Qing took over the conversation, with joy and anticipation in her eyes, "The pastries made by Aunt Mu are delicious!" It's even more delicious than Grandma Zuo's cooking! ”

"It's different." Li Mingyun shook his head, very stubborn, "I want to eat the hibiscus cake made by Grandma Zuo, white banana, do you know where she is now?" ”

Bai Jiao pondered for a moment.

"The servant is not sure." She said, hesitating, "Mama Zuo doesn't plan to go back to the house, and she doesn't want anyone to disturb her, the maid heard Mama Liu say last time that she is now doing farm work in a village in the west of the city, and the maid doesn't know which one it is." ”

"I'll ask myself." Li Mingyun nodded and looked at her with a look of gratitude.

There are more than ten Zhuangzi in the west of the city, and the location is not concentrated, but if you want to find someone, you will definitely know by asking Steward Li.

"I don't need to tell my mother about this." Li Mingyun looked at her and said, "My mother was already guilty because Grandma Zuo left the house, and I was afraid that she would be sad again if she knew it." ”

Bai Jiao felt justified and agreed.

"Miss, the things have been delivered, and the maid will go back first." She said, and Shi Li stepped back.

Qiu Qing circled around the boxes.

"Miss, which one belongs to the second young master?" He pointed to the largest box, "Isn't this it?" ”

Chunyu walked over and patted her on the head.

"This was given by the little master of the Wang family." She glanced at her, "Do you have such a bad memory, you will forget it when you see it." Or do you just remember the second young master? ”

Qiu Qing likes the second young master very much, and they all know that there is only one reason, that is, the second young master is the one who buys the most pastries among the people who are good to the young lady.

And every time I eat the most pastries!

"yes, can't you?" Qiu Qing was extremely stubborn, "I like the second young master the most!" The pastries he bought were the best! ”

She was really bought by a few boxes of pastries.

Chunyu shook his head helplessly.

"Alright." Li Mingyun said with a smile: "It's the box next to it, you can open it and take a look." ”
