When I arrived at the Qian Mansion and settled the courtyard, it was already Shen Shi.

The Qian Mansion sent its own maid to each courtyard, even Cheng Yingyu, who was a palace maid, also got someone to call Nanxiang to help clean up and take care of it, and the small courtyard of the green bamboo red corridor finally had fireworks.

Cheng Yingyu didn't sit down yet, so he went to find Rong Wei first, but he didn't expect that Zhao Xiche, the little sage king, couldn't sit still at all, so he pulled Rong Wei to go shopping when he fell to the ground, and he wasn't tired at all.

pounced, Cheng Yingyu had to come back, Zhao Xiyan set up his own yard, and also came to visit the door, sitting in the bamboo shadow in the garden, tinkering with a green basket.

"Sixth son, I don't want you to talk to King Xiaoxian, we have two auspicious shops, and we haven't seen them yet! They were all demolished by him! Cheng Yingyu sat down and complained, and secretly said that Rong Wei also followed the devil, and ran with Zhao Xiche one day.

"Come on, Ah Wei is now King Xian's close guard, so he has to run with his master. It's good that you get used to it. Zhao Xiyan smiled and handed over the basket in his hand, "Look, the Qian family brought it, and I got you one." ”

Cheng Yingyi, that is, a bamboo basket, is the size of two or three fists, round like a lantern.

"Mosquito repellent. Hanging in the room is fragrant, and mosquitoes are not close. Zhao Xiyan pushed over.

"It's autumn, where are the mosquitoes and flies?" Cheng Ying was funny.

As soon as Zhao Xiyan wanted to answer, a female voice came in next to her, and she smiled: "Girl, hang it up." Guanzhong into the autumn frost, the wind is fierce, naturally there are no mosquitoes and flies, we are different in Jiangnan, not so cold, cool and falling, mosquitoes and flies are just piled up. Mosquitoes and flies in autumn are more poisonous than in summer, and the girl should not be underestimated. ”

Cheng Ying raised her eyes, and saw that it was the maid assigned to her by the Qian family, calling someone from Nanxiang, as soon as she entered the door, she was silently busy, and her hands and feet were neat and she didn't raise her head.

"Exactly. It is said that this is a mosquito repellent bamboo that is a specialty of Jiangnan, which is fragrant and effective. Zhao Xiyan's eyes flashed, and he smiled, "Am I right?" Mrs. Nan. ”

Cheng Yingyu didn't ease up at once: "Mrs. Nan? ”

"The concubine's surname is Qin, Qinnan Township." The woman bowed, the black sideburns, and the white porcelain smile was generous.

Cheng Ying's heart chuckled, and her heartbeat suddenly stopped.

First, Qin Nanxiang, she has heard this name, she was the maid of the Liangjiang Weaving Cao Mansion, and was later favored by Qian Mu and entered the Wisteria Dock, becoming his only concubine so far.

The second is that when this woman smiled, she actually had three or four points of her appearance, her Cheng Ying's appearance.

"The head of the Qian family arranged his own concubine room to serve the second girl, heh, I don't know what the plan is." Zhao Xiyan glanced at Cheng Yingyan, saw that the woman had been stiff for a long time, and added, "...... Or, I'm just afraid that the service is fake, and let the two of you meet is the real thing. ”

"The head of the family thinks about it, and the concubine doesn't dare to speculate. But the concubine was born to be a slave, and it is also an honor for the concubine to serve Queen Minde. Qin Nanxiang's voice was soft and glutinous, but it was secretive.

Zhao Xiyan was slightly surprised: "The head of the Qian family actually told you so much?" Even the former dynasty ......"

"What the hell does he mean?" Cheng Ying came to his senses, and said sharply, interrupting.

Qin Nanxiang is a concubine, she is not surprised, that man is thirty years old, and there is no real problem with a woman. But the key is Qin Nanxiang's face, the more she looks at it, the more she has her charm, which makes her extremely uncomfortable.

The woman who looked like her turned out to be the pillow person of her husband, and she Cheng Yingyu felt that it was too embarrassing.

How to say it, it's like a pebble stuck in the throat, there is a subtle nausea, and I don't even want to call the word "sir", and the exit is "him".

Qin Nanxiang smiled, revealing a circle of broken rice teeth. The indigo brocade shirt on the body has no variegated color, only a small jasmine embroidered with silver thread, because the weather is cold, the cover is the same color gown, and the snow-white fluff is pinched, which is lined with clotted and warm.

Even though his facial features are similar to Cheng Yingyu, his bearing is indeed a completely different character.

"Wisteria Dock is in the innermost part of the garden, walking along the verandah, passing by the eight hanging flower gates, and seeing a lake, the lake is there." Qin Nanxiang said lightly, and muttered, "If the girl can't find the way, the concubine can take you ......"

"No, a garden, there's nothing you can't find your way to."

Cheng Yingyu decisively refused, held back her stomach, explained two sentences to Zhao Xiyan, and then rushed towards the depths of the garden, vowing to find Qian Mu to ask her words clearly.

However, after walking for half a moment, Cheng Yingyu began to regret that he should have let Qin Nanxiang lead the way.

As the thirteen thousand gold of the Cheng family and the Empress of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, she has seen a lot of the world, and she has lived in a lot of beautiful mansions, but she has never lost her way in the garden of any mansion.

This garden is an acre, and it is estimated that it is only one-tenth of the gardens in the imperial palace, but it is simply a labyrinth.

Sometimes passing through the Taihu Lake stone shaded by green bamboo, thinking that it is the end, but turning a carved white wall, another garden drills out, sometimes the verandah disappears into the depths of the plantain, but from a black gate that cannot be seen from a distance, a pond is in front of you, and even those pavilions and pavilions that do not look big can not be drilled out for a long time, and as soon as the back door is opened, they stand directly in another place (Note 1).

Cheng Yingyu had to stop, holding on to the Taihu Stone and panting, her head was really dizzy.

The small garden has a thin corridor, but there is a wonderful hidden cave, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village, which is probably this Jiangnan garden.

"It's over, it's over, I can't even find my way back now." Cheng Ying sighed, stomped on the yellow bamboo leaves embroidered on the soles of his shoes, and rolled up his sleeves in the autumn wind.

"Who's over there? Sneaky like headless flies! The money mansion also allows you to wander around? Suddenly, the reprimand came, and out of nowhere, a dozen or so slaves in green clothes and black jackets appeared out of nowhere.

Cheng Yingyu hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the slave is a palace maid who follows the holy driver, and I want to find the master of the Qian family for something, but I'm really lost, please make it convenient." ”

The servants looked up and down and sneered: "Just a palace maid, the head of my family is also what you want to see?" ”

Cheng Ying was stunned: "The palace maid is serving the saint!" The Emperor is in front of you! Want to see a courtier and still can't have enough face? ”

The slaves did not panic, but their contemptuous expressions became stronger: "Have you ever heard of a sentence? In the land south of the Yangtze River, the holy decree is not as effective as a word from the head of my family? The saints are not afraid, let alone the palace maids? ”

Cheng Ying laughed dumbly. She had heard this sentence in Shengjing, but she basically regarded it as a joke, and there were many exaggerated elements, but she didn't expect that as soon as she came to Jiangnan, she was disgraced by this sentence.

The lord of Jiangnan, the Qian family is prosperous, and he is here.

"Someone! Tie her up, hit the twenty boards first, and teach her the rules of her master's house first! The servants shouted, and they came forward to bind Cheng Ying, but they really didn't care that she was from the imperial palace.

"Eh, it's unreasonable! Aren't you afraid that I will tell the saint, Gil and so on a great disrespect? Let go of me, let go! Cheng Yingyu subconsciously wanted to run, but the nine-curved path was taken within two steps.

In an instant, he was tied up by five flowers, and seeing that he was about to be tied up and taken to the punishment hall, a female voice sounded: "Wait! ”
