As soon as Lu Qingjin got up, she heard a noisy sound outside the door, she shouted Qinglan several times but there was no response, and then she remembered that she didn't seem to have seen Qinglan since yesterday, so she had no choice but to walk out.

The maid outside the door saw her dodging and saluting, Lu Qingjin looked at the empty courtyard and asked with some doubts, "What's wrong?" I obviously heard someone making noise just now, but now I don't see anyone. ”

The little maid hesitated for a moment before whispering: "It was sent by Mrs. Lu, and it was usually Sister Qinglan who drove people out, but today Sister Qinglan doesn't know where she went, we were late in driving people away, so we bothered Niangniang." ”

Lu Qingjin wrapped his thin clothes and walked towards the house: "So, is it the first time that Mrs. Lu has sent someone!" Did she say anything? ”

The maid followed her in and closed the door carefully: "This slave knows a little, saying that it is for Lord Lu Qi's business, but every time someone comes to say something that is not good, Sister Qinglan ordered not to let her in." ”

Lu Qingjin then remembered that her cheap father still had a peach blossom that had not been solved, and she didn't want to interfere so she didn't say anything, just took a sip of ginger tea and asked, "I didn't see Qinglan yesterday, do you know where she went?" ”

The little maid shook her head blankly: "The slave doesn't know, it seems that she went to find Niangniang yesterday, but Sister Qinglan didn't come back after Niangniang came back." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard the footsteps of Suo Suo in the yard, and the door was suddenly opened, Lu Qingjin looked at Qinglan who had a bad face and did not speak, Qinglan waved her hand to signal the little maid to leave, and only after there was no one in the house did she salute and said: "Yesterday, the slave maid got a novelty, and the mother may be able to eat it." ”

After speaking, he took out a small box in his arms, Lu Qingjin took it in disbelief, the box was made of agarwood, it didn't seem that a little maid in Qinglan could afford it, and after opening it, a strange smell wafted out, but it was somewhat similar to the taste of green onions, and there was a bunch of purple shallots like garlic lying quietly in the box.

Lu Qingjin closed the lid and hesitated for a while before asking, "Where did you go last night?" I don't believe you can get these things. ”

Qinglan lowered her head and couldn't see her face clearly, but her voice was extremely hoarse: "Last night, the slave wanted to go to you, but I met my aunt's person halfway, and my aunt told me to go if I had something, but I didn't expect to fall in the palace, and I couldn't come back for a while, so I could only stay outside the palace for one night, and my aunt asked me to bring this thing back." ”

Lu Qingjin was actually very happy to see the shallots, but when she thought of her aunt's inexplicable behavior, she felt bad, and her mood was very complicated for a while, seeing Qinglan's even more ugly face, she couldn't bear to speak: "I think you didn't rest well last night, so let's rest today!" The little maid just now stayed and waited for me. ”

Qinglan agreed and walked out, and suddenly stopped when she was about to walk to the door: "Niangniang may not know that Xiaoling has disappeared, I don't know if Charity has found her." ”

Lu Qingjin's heart sank, she felt that Xiao Ling's rebellion and return were too sudden at the beginning, and now it seems that it should be her aunt's handiwork, thinking of this, she took a breath and tried her best to stabilize her voice: "What is the plan of my aunt?" ”

Qinglan bowed and went out without saying anything, and only after the door closed behind her did Qinglan let out a long sigh, the snow was still falling, a piece of silver and white accompanied by the cold wind made people see no hope, she turned around and walked towards her house step by step.

Lu Qingjin's hand holding her forehead trembled slightly, and after a while, she said coldly: "You sent someone to tell Concubine Li, just say let her find out what my aunt has been doing recently, and by the way, check the movement of charity." ”

She looked at the back of the little maid leaving and was stunned for a while before she stood up, where the box on the table was lying quietly, Lu Qingjin hesitated for a moment and walked towards the vegetable garden with it.

The newly opened vegetable garden has not planted much yet, and the little eunuch is busy weeding inside, and when he saw Lu Qingjin coming, he was quite happy and said: "This new vegetable garden is almost there, just take something from the vegetable garden next door and plant it in a few days, but do you want to plant potatoes?" ”

Lu Qingjin shook his head amusedly: "These two vegetable gardens are for the people in the palace to eat, although the potatoes have to be planted, they can't be planted too much, I see that the general didn't send a nest of pheasants yesterday!" Let's put it here tomorrow! The pheasants on the left and right do not eat the crops. ”

The little eunuch agreed and handed her the small shovel in his hand, Lu Qingjin took the shovel and began to dig the soil, and after digging a few pits, she took out the shallots in her hand one by one unhurriedly, and after thinking for a while, she still left half of it, and the remaining half was only about 20 shallots, Lu Qingjin carefully broke it and planted it.

The little eunuch looked at it curiously: "Niangniang, have you found something delicious again?" Why do I look so familiar! It looks like garlic! ”

Lu Qingjin stood up and patted the soil in his hand, reached out and took the kettle in the little eunuch's hand and began to water: "This is not garlic, but the taste is similar, now there are only a few heads, you take care of it, and you can send it to the restaurant when there are more in the future." ”

The little eunuch agreed to clean up the garden diligently, Lu Qingjin was thinking about what to plant in various places, and he was quite kind for a while, and after a while, he heard the little eunuch say strangely: "Is there a hole here with mice?" ”

Lu Qingjin suddenly remembered those terrible rats in the cold palace, and immediately walked over with a shiver, only to see a round hole exposed there, but it didn't look like a mouse hole, if there was anything like it, it looked like a bamboo rat's cave.

Lu Qingjin put down his heart and studied it carefully, and after a long while, he said, "You just look at this hole a little bit these days!" In a few days, the Internal Affairs Office will not be busy, and I will call someone to come and grab this thing. ”

The little eunuch looked a little embarrassed and said, "This is not a problem, but there are still a lot of vegetables in your vegetable garden!" ”

Only then did Lu Qingjin remember that although his vegetable garden had a greenhouse, it was not enough to stop these animals, and he thought that those pheasant cubs would have to be brought over quickly, so he sighed with a headache: "Forget it, I'll go back and think of a way, you don't have to worry about it." ”
