"The hands and feet are really fast." Qin Yunuan groaned, got up with her clothes closed, and beckoned Man'er to let her bring Li Mengming in.

After a while, the door opened again, Li Mengmeng was wearing a madder piping skirt today, her hair was loosely tied, not as delicate as those noble ladies, but with a taste of beauty, Li Mengming was also young, so dressed up only to make people more and more charming and moving, if it was replaced by a person like Dou Qing'e, who was declining in beauty, it would be nondescript.

And Qin Qian, isn't it Li Mengming's youth.

"Aunt Li is here, and she won't say anything in advance, Man'er, don't pour tea yet." Qin Yunuan greeted while pulling Li Mingming to sit on the couch.

"No need, no need," Li Mengming smiled and waved her hand, she had been infiltrated by those deceitful people in the courtyard of the Qin family for a long time, Li Mengming's eyebrows and eyes seemed to be more compliant, she smiled softly, "Actually, I came this time for an old thing, but I don't know, the third girl still remembers." ”

"Oh? What's up? Qin Yunuan deliberately avoided Li Mingming's slightly hot gaze.

Li Mengmeng choked up, and only after a while did she continue to say: "My sister in Jianzhou sent a letter, saying that the Su family is not very peaceful today, and there are white flowers hanging outside the Su Mansion, I think something must have happened to the Su family, and Young Master Su must also rush back, I want to see Young Master Su for the last time before he leaves Beijing." ”

Li Mengming said and spoke, and really lowered her head and sobbed, and the tears that fell down were soaked in the handkerchief, like a slowly blooming daisy.

"I remember this, I did promise you," Qin Yunuan nodded, but his tone was not so sad and sad, "That's it, after half a month, I have my own arrangements." ”

Li Mengming's eyes suddenly lit up, and she raised her head and said, "Will the third girl also go with her?" ”

The corners of Qin Yunuan's mouth moved imperceptibly, and he nodded: "Naturally, I also want to see off my cousin." However, Aunt Li, the inner house is turbulent, I will never help someone unconditionally, you have to remember that you owe me a favor and you have to pay it back. ”

Li Mingming nodded knowingly, didn't ask more, and when she got up, Qin Yunuan suddenly said, "Aunt Li, it's so fragrant." ”

Li Mengming turned her head half suspiciously, she also knew a lot of things in the house these days, this third girl from the house has a keen sense of smell since she was a child, she has also heard of it, her heart tightened slightly, but her face smiled like a spring flower: "The third girl's nose is really smart, I changed to a kind of fragrant dew to bathe before, and the master also likes it very much." ”

"Oh?" Qin Yunuan seemed to sniff carefully again, and asked rhetorically, "Is it Ning Xiang Lu?" ”

Li Mingming's eyebrows tightened, and her fists unconsciously clenched together.

Qin Yunuan tilted his head and continued to ask: "Or is it a kind of fragrant dew made from bamboo leaves from the southwest?" ”

Li Mingming's eyes began to drift, and her hands unconsciously roamed back and forth in front of her. I only heard Qin Yunuan smile gently: "I still can't guess, Aunt Li must have used some ancient method, and it's not easy to tell Yu Nuan." ”

Li Mingming looked a little unwilling, she didn't seem to understand what the third girl was doing with such a move, but she immediately regained her smile: "What's the secret recipe, the third girl helps Mingming like this, if the third girl wants, I will send a maid to send a few bottles over tomorrow, they are all ordinary fragrance made of flower juice." ”

Qin Yunuan smiled and said: "Yunuan is just talking, aunt doesn't have to keep it in mind, Yunuan has never liked to use those rouge gouaches, don't bother." ”

After Li Mengming left, Man'er came in with hot water to freshen up Qin Yunuan, and her long hair, which was as black as black and shiny, spread out like silk, and Man'er carefully took off the eight-treasure hairpin on her bun for Qin Yunuan, and slowly combed Qin Yunuan's long hair.

Qin Yunuan took a sip of the flower tea used to gargle in the tray, and the fragrant tea swirled in his mouth, and Qin Yunuan spit it into another clean spittoon.

"She's right." Qin Yunuan said suddenly, taking a deep breath, "The person who put the snake in my house before was Aunt Li, yes." ”

Man'er paused, and his heart seemed to be filled with a chill, thinking of the poisonous bamboo leaf that spit snake hyacinth last time, Man'er still had palpitations.

"She was the only one who came to my yard that day, and just now when I asked her if the fragrance on her body was used in Ning Xiang Lu, she frowned, and her hands were clenched into fists, which was a manifestation of enduring anger, Li Mingming was young, and she was born so beautiful, Ning Xiang Lu has an aphrodisiac effect, she is confident that she can tie her father's heart with her own ability, so she disdains to use it, I say this, it is simply a satire of her inherent charm, so she is angry."

Qin Yunuan simply tied her long hair into a strand, tied it with a ribbon, turned around and continued to say to Man'er: "But when I asked if she used the fragrance made from bamboo leaves in the southwest, her eyes flickered to dodge, even though she wanted to hide the uneasiness in her heart, but at that moment, she still revealed, Zhu Yeqing is a snake unique to the southwest, Li Mengming is from Jianzhou, Jianzhou is southwest, she can get it, it's not strange." ”

The most subtle place is often the easiest place to be overlooked, fortunately, Qin Yunuan never completely believed in this woman from the land of red dust from the beginning, and now she judged her cat from Li Mingming's two seemingly indifferent but completely different reactions, but Li Mengming is now weak in the Taiwei Mansion, why would she suddenly go against herself.

Just confused for a moment, Qin Yunuan found the answer, and the answer was very simple - she found a better backer.

"The slave maid thought that Aunt Li was a little strange earlier, but she really didn't expect ......." Man'er subconsciously stroked his chest.

"Silly girl," Qin Yunuan tapped the tip of Man'er's nose with her index finger, "There are more things you can't think of in this world, we are doing the right thing and not doing bad things, those people come to provoke us, it is their own loss." ”

Later, when Qin Baochuan came back from Shunchang Courtyard, the lights in the courtyard were still on, and Liao's mother was afraid that Qin Baochuan would be hungry, so she deliberately heated a bowl of hot rice balls on the stove.

This is the first time that Qin Zhen has paid attention to this concubine like this, Qin Baochuan also seemed a little flattered and excited, and when it came to the happy place, he couldn't help jumping off the chair, learning from Qin Qian's appearance, pointing and pointing, and Liao's mother on the side was shocked.

"Little ancestor, be careful, don't be burned by the hot soup in this rice ball."

"Sister, do you know, my father was halfway through the exam, and suddenly nodded, saying that he knew a lot of literacy, and he could start watching "Strange Mountains and Rivers", and then I said, "Father, Strange Mountains and Rivers" Baochuan had already read it half a year ago, and my father was so surprised that he could stuff an egg in his mouth." Qin Baochuan's glance made people laugh.

"How can it be so exaggerated," Qin Yunuan was blowing dumplings for Baochuan on the side, and said with a smile, "Besides, when you watched "Strange Mountains and Rivers" half a year ago, you didn't know most of the words, you are bragging in front of your father." ”

"So, a few days ago, Baochuan took out this book and read it again, and the harvest was not small, my father also tested the names of several big rivers and rivers on the spot, and I was right." Qin Baochuan grew up, waiting for Qin Yunuan to feed the rice balls, he was still so immature, but this tone was like a very old scholar.

"You're sensible." At this moment, looking at Baochuan's lively and motivated appearance, Qin Yunuan only felt that for a while, all the cold guns and secret arrows, deceit, and conspiracy were all worth it, all her hard work and planning were rewarded, and her heart that had been forbearance and cold for a long time finally warmed up.

Qin Baochuan is a well-behaved and perceptive child, he quickly noticed the relief and reluctance that flashed in Qin Yunuan's eyes, he stood up straight, and slowly hugged Qin Yunuan's somewhat slender waist: "Sister, is it that Baochuan is going to start going to school tomorrow, and he can't be with his sister all the time, and his sister is reluctant to Baochuan?" ”

"Reluctance is reluctance, but a manly man, how can you stick to your home every day, Baochuan, you are a little man, my sister wants you to take responsibility, work hard, and take on your share of responsibility." Thinking of his previous life, Qin Baochuan almost never left his body, Qin Yunuan was inevitably a little sad, and now Qin Baochuan has to go out early and return late to go to the clan school, on the way back and forth, in the academy, there are too many opportunities for the other party to start, and her heart can't help but be raised again.

It is necessary not only to let Baochuan go out to study, but also to ensure his 100% safety, although Liao's mother asked Huang Dashi to quit his job as a carpenter to protect Baochuan, but Liao's mother's family has already paid too much for themselves, if there is really a thief and wants to do wrong, I am afraid that even Huang Dashi's life will be taken into it, Qin Yunuan still needs to think about long-term countermeasures.

In the past few days, the Taiwei Mansion has been calm, and the controversy over whether the Seventh Prince Sima Qiu returned to the palace finally ended with the Seventh Prince being under age, and Qin Zhen was also idle, and every time he took the time, he would ask Qin Baochuan about his performance in ethnography, and every time, he did not disappoint him.

Dou Qing'e is far away in Guoan Temple, Qin Yunxiang will carry something to the steward every day, Ye San was originally the steward of the account room, but he was removed earlier, and now he has to act as an errand runner, Qin Linfeng is grounded in the courtyard every day, but he is honest, occasionally playing chess, occasionally practicing swords, and he has not provoked any trouble.

Taiwei Mansion is like an endless deep sea, and under the calm, there will always be an undercurrent.

Soon it was the day when Qin Yunuan and Su Chenghai said goodbye, the sun seemed to favor this remote and quiet mountain road, sprinkled with gold halfway through, a low-key sneaking gray-black carriage drove quietly over this uninhabited mountain road, and just a few hundred meters away, there was another slightly larger carriage slowly following behind this carriage, the coachman who drove the carriage was a veteran, and he was very safe in grasping the distance that was not far or near.
