071 No Shadow

The group stopped and walked to the front of the bamboo shed.

This bamboo shed is surrounded on three sides, with bamboo leaves as the roof, and the built-in rosewood tables and chairs are clean, which should be cleaned by someone often.

Pei Jinzhu looked left and right, and she didn't pay attention to stepping on the air, so painful that she squatted on the ground. Shuang Tao hurriedly held her, "Girl, are you okay?" ”

Pei Jinzhu had tears in her eyes, and pressed her ankle with one hand, "It's twisted to your foot." ”

The little maid who led the way was shocked, but soon calmed down, "The slave maid went and called the two mothers-in-law to carry the girl out." ”

Two lines of tears overflowed from the corners of Pei Jinzhu's aching eyes, as if she couldn't bear it anymore, "Go quickly, go quickly." ”

The little maid trotted away with her shoulders hunched.

Pei Jinyao glanced at Pei Jinzhu, pulled down a few apricots from the tree and held them with a handkerchief, pinched them one by one, and said to Cui Qiao: "Sure enough, they are all sour apricots, and they can't be eaten." ”

Cui Qiao nodded, looked at Pei Jinzhu very cautiously, and leaned into Pei Jinyao's ear, "Girl, did you say that the eldest girl is pretending." ”

"Perhaps." Pei Jinyao squeezed her eyes, "Let's just wait and see." She couldn't hold her breath. ”

Cui Qiao clenched her fists and said yes.

Shuangtao helped Pei Jinzhu to sit down in the bamboo shed, "Girl sit for a while." The slave maid will rub it for you first. ”

Pei Jinzhu slapped Shuangtao's hand stretched out to her ankle, "Rub what?" You don't know how to heal, what should I do if it's broken? The cacophony was harsh in the silence of the woods.

Cui Qiao glanced at Double Peach sympathetically.

The big girls are far worse than their girls. It's really better than not knowing, and I feel happy like a mouse falling in a rice bowl.

Pei Jinzhu didn't let her touch it, and Shuangtao took out a handkerchief to help her wipe away the tears on her cheeks.

Pei Jinzhu impatiently brushed away the double peach, "Didn't you go to find your mother-in-law?" Why haven't you come back yet? ”

Shuangtao hurriedly coaxed her: "Don't worry, girl, it hasn't been long since the talent left." ”

Pei Jinzhu raised his eyebrows, "Useless things." Take a look! ”

"Girl, this is the Marquis Mansion of Changchun, and the slaves and maids don't know the road or the people. It's a shame if you collide with a nobleman. ”

"You still dare to talk back?" Pei Jinzhu didn't care about twisting Shuangpeach's ears. She used a lot of strength, and her ears turned red in a moment. Shuangtao didn't dare to cry out in pain, and her tearful eyes continued to say goodbye.

Pei Jinyao couldn't stand it anymore, "Eldest sister, don't be embarrassed for Double Peach." I'll take a look. ”

Isn't doing so many things and talking so much just to let her fall into the trap set up by Yin Jing? Anyway, staying here and watching Pei Jinzhu do things is very crooked, so it is better to go out and breathe.

Pei Jinzhu stopped when she heard this, and said with a flickering eye: "Does the third sister recognize the way?" ”

"I don't recognize it." Pei Jinyao shook her head, "Didn't that little maid go to the north?" I'm going in her direction, and maybe I'll run into her halfway. ”

"Not good." Pei Jinzhu stood up on one foot with Shuangtao's shoulder, raised his hand and pointed to the south, "Out of the forest is the courtyard of Miss Guan Ba." There should have been someone left in her place. ”

Pei Jinyao shook her head again and again, "Isn't this reluctant to seek the near and far?" We came in from the north, and after walking a short time, the eldest sister stumbled. I should have gone out from the north so that I could save some leggiving. ”

Hearing this, Pei Jinzhu no longer pretended to be weak, raised his eyebrows, and said hatefully: "It's not the first time I've come to the Marquis Mansion of Changchun. I'll let you go to the south, and you'll go to the south! ”

Pei Jinyao sighed twice, "Eldest sister, since this is not the first time you have come to the Hou Mansion, you should know that the forest from the south is an abandoned small courtyard, and it is not the residence of Miss Guan Ba at all." Even the people of the Hou Mansion didn't go there easily. ”

Pei Jinzhu couldn't speak.

How did Pei San know? She asked Yin Jing to lead two powerful little guys to wait there. As soon as Pei San came out of the forest, he would knock people unconscious before taking them to the small courtyard. And she went to the grass house on the west side of the forest and waited for Han Shizi with peace of mind.

The two girls of the Pei family are gone. The Hou Mansion is bound to find someone. When the time came, the Yin family led Mrs. Changchun Hou to the grass house to break the good things between her and Han Shizi.

And Pei San and Yin Jing are bound to have cooked raw rice and cooked rice. Whether Pei San wants it or not, she can only marry Yin Jing. In order for Pei San to have a better life in the Yin family, the second room must have to pay a large amount of dowry.

Pei Jinzhu thinks her arrangement is seamless.

But how could the damn Pei San know that the small courtyard in the south was not the residence of Miss Guan Ba?

Pei Jinyao admired Pei Jinzhu's ugly face for a while, and called: "Shuangtao, you are guarding the eldest sister here." I'll go back to Ningshoutang and ask someone to help. With that, Cui Qiao helped Shi Shiran to leave.

Pei Jinzhu gritted his teeth and stopped after chasing two steps.

Shuang Tao was taken aback, "Girl, your foot ......" is all right?!

Now, how can Shuangtao not know what Pei Jinzhu has in mind? The eldest girl in her family calculated, and the third girl calculated and came to the Hou Mansion.

Pei Jinzhu sank his face and scolded: "Shut up! ”

I didn't count Pei San this time, and there will be a next time. But Yin Jing should have already sent a letter to Han Shizi, and he should be coming over soon. Bae Jinzhu cut her sideburns, regrouped her spirits, and walked to the west.

What kind of bad intentions are you holding back? If something happens, she, who is a maid, will not be able to do well.

Shuangtao is going to cry.

"Big girl, where are we going? You're still here waiting for your mother-in-law to carry you out. ”

If people knew that Miss Pei's feet were pretended, there might not be anything to say.

Pei Jinzhu glared at her, "Shut up, or follow me obediently." Or just wait here! ”

Shuangtao didn't have a choice, so he had to hold Pei Jinzhu's elbow, "Girl, this forest is very big." Don't get lost. ”

"What are you afraid of, if I didn't know the way, I wouldn't have come in." Pei Jinyao was triumphant, "When I see Han Shizi for a while, don't make a fuss, there are no rules and no distance." ”

Han Shizi?

Shuang Tao was dumbfounded. Unexpectedly, the eldest girl had the heart of having a private meeting with Han Shizi. When she was in Xiaoliu Bezhuang, she saw Han Shizi from afar. He's a decent person. The eldest girl always thinks about climbing high branches, if she really becomes with Han Shizi, then the eldest girl will not have to toss anymore in the future.

But what if it doesn't work out? Shuang Tao didn't dare to think deeply, and nodded indiscriminately.

Pei Jinzhu saw that she was obedient, hummed with satisfaction, and took her hand Shi Shiran and walked to the depths of the apricot forest.

……

Pei Jinyao walked with Cui Qiao for a while, and when she got out of Pei Jinzhu's sight, Cui Qiao gritted her teeth and reprimanded: "The big girl's heart is really black. I actually want to match the girl to that bad guy in the Yin family! ”

"Ignore her." Pei Jinyao stopped, "Give me Qianliwang." ”

Cui Qiao sighed, and took out the Qianli Wang that Qian Wei gave to Pei Jinyao from her arms.

Pei Jinyao narrowed her eyes and looked slightly sideways to the south. Between the verdant green leaves, there were indeed three big scorched faces. One of them had a hairpin in his ear obliquely, and he was holding a folding fan in his hand and fanning it impatiently.

"Look at it, isn't that bad guy of the Yin family just waiting there." Pei Jinyao stuffed Qianliwang into Cui Qiao's hand.

Cui Qiao held it carefully, and immediately laughed quietly, "Girl, this thing is really useful." Even the beads of sweat on his face can be seen clearly. ”

"Not really. It's not good, the sister of the Qian family can't send me, no. Pei Jinyao pointed to the northwest, "Let's go, let's insert it diagonally from there to Ningshoutang." ”

Cui Qiao hummed, "It's still a good girl." If you haven't been here, you know where it is. ”

Pei Jinyao smiled, "It's not that I'm good." It's just a precautionary measure. ”

She knew that Pei Jinzhu was not at ease at this birthday banquet, so she couldn't help but take precautions. Lao Wen was released from the palace, and he has many old friends. Pei Jinyao asked him to inquire about trivial matters in the Marquis of Changchun Mansion in the past two days. Although most of them are a hammer in the east, a mallet in the west is very fragmented. But when it entered Pei Jinyao's ears, it combined another layer of meaning.

The small courtyard to the south of the apricot blossom forest was originally lived by a favorite concubine of the Marquis of Changchun. It is said that this favorite concubine was born with a beautiful appearance, and her maiden name was Xingniang. As a result, this apricot blossom forest has a very different meaning for her.

Later, the favorite concubine became pregnant, and died of a miscarriage in five months. The Marquis of Changchun ordered someone to seal the courtyard. The people in the Hou Mansion said that the place was heavy and had to take a detour when passing there.

When Lao Wen said it, Pei Jin Yaoquan heard it as an anecdote. I can't imagine that today is thanks to this story.

"Girl, tell the old lady about it in a moment. Let the old lady punish the eldest girl for grounding and copying the female commandment. Cui Qiao was a little indignant.

"I don't need my grandmother to punish her, someone will clean her up." Pei Jinyao said firmly.

Cui Qiao's eyes widened in disbelief, "Who is so kind?" ”

Pei Jinyao deliberately sold a pass, "Guess." ”

Pei Jinzhu stayed in the apricot blossom forest and did not chase him, so he must have other purposes. Banxia told her that Pei Jinzhu fell in love with Han He. Maybe this time Pei Jinzhu borrowed someone else's name to ask Han He to meet him, and took the opportunity to entangle him.

But who is Han He? How could he be so easy to get across. The children of the family are so arrogant, and they will not be affected by the little woman's calculations. Pei Jinyao was sure that Han He would definitely teach Pei Jinzhu a good lesson.

Cui Qiao shook her head blankly, "The slave can't guess." ”

"If you can't guess, then watch the show with your hands crossed." Pei Jinyao swore an oath, and Cui Qiao bowed his head.

……

Pei Jinyao returned to Ningshoutang, and Mrs. Pei was not surprised.

"Grandmother, the eldest sister has broken her foot in the apricot blossom forest." Walking back and forth, Pei Jinyao's face was flushed, and her back was sweating.

Mrs. Guan beckoned her to sit down beside her, took the silk handkerchief from the handmaiden, and personally helped her wipe the sweat beads from her forehead, "Look at the sweat of this brain, are you in a hurry?" ”

"Well, I'm afraid the injury on my eldest sister's foot is not light. I was afraid of delay, so I walked back with Cui Qiao. ”

Mrs. Guan and Mrs. Pei glanced at each other and said, "Fang Cai Xiaolan has already taken her mother-in-law to the apricot blossom forest." It may be at odds with you. ”

Pei Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, "No wonder." ”

Mrs. Guan ordered someone to bring the cold tea to Pei Jinyao, "Drink it slowly, don't hurt your lungs." ”

Pei Jinyao took the teacup and just took a sip, when Yin walked in with a look of urgency. Merriam-Webster and Mrs. Deng followed. Mrs. Guan got the letter that Pei Jinzhu injured her foot, so she ordered someone to tell Yin.

When Yin Shi saw Pei Jinyao sitting steadily beside Mrs. Guan eating tea, Yin was stunned for a moment and asked, "Jinyao, aren't you going with Sister Zhu...... Did you go to find Miss Qianwu? How did it end up here? ”

Old Madam Pei glanced at her, "Sister Zhu hurt her foot." I have already sent my mother-in-law over. You just have to wait a minute. ”

Mrs. Guan also said: "Mother Tao in the house knows how to connect bones, so I'll tell her to take a look at it later." As he spoke, he sent someone to call Tao's mother.

Yin frowned and looked at Pei Jinyao suspiciously.

According to what Pei Jinzhu said, she will first branch Pei Jinyao, and Brother Jing will only need to wait at the edge of the apricot blossom forest to take people to the abandoned courtyard. And she was going to take someone to the apricot blossom forest to pick up Pei Jinzhu, and by the way, she broke Pei Jinzhu's private meeting with Han Shizi.

But right now, Pei Jinyao is in Ningshoutang. So what about Brother Jing? Also, why was Pei Jinyao not fooled? Do you still sing this play?

Yin rubbed his temples, "I'll go to greet Sister Zhu." ”

Mrs. Guan bowed her head and said, "This is the heart of a mother." I heard that my daughter was injured and she couldn't sit down. Go quickly, and when you come back, you will take people directly to the wing room to rest. ”

Yin pulled the corners of his lips, smiled and responded with a few words, and then led people out.

Pei Jinyao stepped forward to greet Mrs. Deng.

Deng Chunrong's temperament is a little arrogant, but Mrs. Deng is very good at talking. Born with a round face, a plump body, and a very blessed appearance.

Mrs. Deng held Pei Jinyao's hand affectionately, "It's still a little girl." I heard our sister Rong praise you. said that if it weren't for you, she would have been scared to death in Xiaoyanagibezhuang that day. I wanted her to invite you to play at home, but you are a blessed child, and it didn't take long for Your Majesty to make you a divine envoy. It's not easy to be an official, and we know it when we are old. Busy all day without touching the ground. I didn't dare to let Sister Rong quarrel with you, but I didn't expect Mrs. Tai'er's birthday banquet to meet today. It can be seen that we also have fate. She said, pulling out a pair of diamond earrings.

"Gadgets, the three girls wear them casually." Mrs. Deng put the ear bell into her purse and put it in Pei Jinyao's hand.

The diamonds are shiny and shiny, with a string of three, the largest of which is about the same as a soybean. At first glance, it is a gift prepared in the morning, full of sincerity.

Pei Jinyao hurriedly thanked him.

Mrs. Deng did not hesitate to praise Pei Jinyao.

Her attitude was very different from that of Mrs. Marquis of Changchun. Pei Jinyao guessed that Deng Zhenxu was taking this opportunity to show favor to the Divine Machine Division. But I don't know what his relationship with Lu Lang is.

Just thinking about it, the Yin family came back in a panic, entered the main hall and walked straight to Pei Jinyao, "Jinyao, where is your eldest sister?" ”

Yin's walk was fast and urgent, and he almost collided with Pei Jinyao. Pei Jinyao hurriedly took two steps back, "The eldest sister is in the bamboo shed of the apricot blossom forest." ”

"Nope! You say, where did you hide her? Yin's eyes stared at Pei Jinyao, and his hands pinched her shoulders, "You say, say it quickly!" ”

Wei Shi frowned when he saw Pei Jinyao in pain, and he was very distressed. She broke Yin's fingers and said patiently, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?" This is the Marquis of Changchun's Mansion, how could Yaoyao hide Sister Zhu'er? ”

The little maid who had just led the way cried with a sad face, came forward to salute, and replied to Mrs. Guan: "Mrs. Tai, the slave maid took her mother-in-law to the bamboo shed, but she didn't see Miss Pei. The mother-in-law searched around in the forest, but they couldn't see the shadow of Miss Pei. ”
