On the day of the Qiqiao Festival, the streets and alleys of Yanzhou City were full of people, and most of the people who came and went were girls and children, laughing and teasing with joy. In the streets and alleys, in front of the stalls, there are brocade ornaments, knitted female red, or kitkat toys, flowers and herbs, or pastries and sugar cakes, seasonal melons and fruits, everything that should be said to be in season.

Xiang Lin has always been accustomed to getting up early to read, and the same is true for today's leisure, soaking in the study alone all morning, and only remembering that today is the Begging Festival when he is about to take a nap at noon, Ruolan told him several times yesterday. Xiang Lin slapped his head and turned over and sat up, complaining that he was confused, and then paced around the room, thinking about what gift to prepare for Ning Yu, after all, he really hadn't given her any gifts since she got married.

After pondering and meditating, Sanjiu hurriedly fell into the room, sweating profusely and panting, "No... Oh no, Childe! Yu Niang can't be found! Xiang Lin was taken aback, "What... What the?! Where is it missing?! Sanjiu replied slowly, "Childe, in the morning, Ruolan and I accompanied Yu Niang out for a stroll, Yu Niang asked me to buy some hair wrapping incense, and I went, and when I came back, I heard Ruolan say that Yu Niang was gone..."

Xiang Lin said angrily, "Didn't Ruolan follow Ning Yu!" What did she do? Sanjiu lowered his head and said, "Ruolan is greedy for fun, she ran to play at that time..."Xiang Lin Shenmei pondered, "Today's begging festival, the street is lively, Ning Yu may want to go shopping for a while." Sanjiu hurriedly said, "No, son, Yu Niang said before going out that she would come back after a while, but now it's past noon... Besides, Yu Niang is really not a playful person, and she has been in a bad mood recently, how can she just care about playing and not having a home..."

Xiang Lin Wenyan asked anxiously, "What about Ruolan?" Sanjiu responded: "Ruolan is still looking around." Xiang Lin thought about it for a while, and hurriedly ordered Sanjiu to call He Jian, and several servants went out of the mansion to look for him. The streets and alleys are full of people, noisy and noisy, several groups of people are looking for each other through the streets and alleys, and after looking for a long time, they still don't see Ning Yu's figure, and Xiang Lin is in a hurry, sweating profusely, and he doesn't know what to do for a while.

On the good day of the festival, the Thorn Mansion is also a lively scene, and the slaves purchased the needs of the festival under the instructions of Zheng Xiaoqiao, and prepared to hold activities such as star worship and competition at night.

The next people are in and out, the passers-by come and go, and they are all talking, laughing and busy, but there are two women standing coldly at the corner of the wall not far from the house gate, one is dressed in white like a fairy, the eyebrows are bitter and sad, and the other is a double girl with a bun like a fairy, looking depressed and worried, the two are not others, it is Ning Yu and Ruolan, and they have been quietly here for a long time.

After a while, Ning Yu instructed Ruolan to leave first, and he saw the opportunity to go straight to the door of the mansion, but when he was about to enter the door, he was stopped by the guards, Ning Yu was indifferent, "What a big boldness, even the county lord dares to stop it?" The guards widened their eyes and looked at each other and said suspiciously, "How dare you take the lowly position, but I haven't seen the county lord go out, so I'm puzzled..."

"Here you go." Ning Yu pretended to have a headache and called the maid who hurriedly walked by, "The county lord is a little dizzy, help me back to the room." "The maid saw that it was Murong County Lord 'Ziying' who was busy, and then carried her towards the wing. When she was about to go to the front of the room, Ning Yu asked the maid to get busy, and when no one noticed, she pulled out a white gauze scarf from her sleeve, and when she was about to cover her face, someone behind her stopped her, Ning Yu hurriedly stuffed the scarf into the cuffs and turned to look.

"Sister?? How did Sister give birth to such a dress? The maidservant Qingxia was surprised and puzzled, "I saw that Sister A was not dressed like this at breakfast, why suddenly..."Ning Yu interrupted with a smile, "The festival is rare, this new makeup and new clothes can be regarded as a change of mood..."Qingxia was full of doubts, "Since Sister Ah is in a good mood, why don't you let me and Mengyan accompany you out of the house to relax?" Ning Yu smiled instantly, "Let's talk about it in an hour, wait for me to take a nap and wake up." ”

Qingxia should be happy, "Sister, then I'll help you into the house, eat this bowl of porridge and rest." Ning Yu hurriedly brought the porridge bowl to his hand and ordered, "You and Mengyan should rest." Qingxia was surprised and was speechless for a while, and left with a frown. When Qingxia was far away, Ning Yu took out the scarf to cover her face, picked up the porridge bowl and walked into the room.

In the curtain, Ziying sat at the head of the bed in a daze, Xiao Mei ran around on the ground to entertain herself, and from time to time ran to Ziying and shook the plaything in her hand and laughed.

"The little woman greets the county lord." Putting down the porridge bowl, Ning Yu watched the cold room without a maid, and heard the children laughing in the inner curtain, so he saluted through the curtain. Ziying came back to her senses when she heard the voice, and thought that she had never heard this voice, thinking that it was a strange guest visiting, so she got up and greeted the curtain.

Ziying lifted the curtain and took a look, and saw the woman in front of her with a bun of clouds, a pale yellow forehead, a wide cold moon on her eyebrows, soft ripples in her eyes, and a white dress covering her face, just like a fairy falling into the dust, dignified and gentle, extraordinary, really a fairy outside the sky.

Ning Yu is also factor Ying's immortal appearance was stunned, and she froze in place for a long time without saying a word, she only knew that Ziying looked similar to her, but she didn't expect it to be so similar, it was like seeing another self.

"Who are you?" Ziying asked, Ning Yu bowed, "The little woman Fan Ningyu has come to visit the county lord this time." Ziying frowned when she heard her name, as if she had heard someone talk about it, and after thinking about it carefully, she remembered what Zheng Shijie had said to her a few days ago, and then she was stunned, and said lightly, "You are the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, Fan Ningyu, the wife of Xu Xianglin..."

Ziying replied and asked coldly, "The little woman and her wife don't know each other, why did you come here this time?" Ning Yu thought for a moment, "It's nothing important, I just want to see the lady... Today, I am fortunate to see the fairy appearance of the lady, which is really rare in the world, which is really amazing. Ziying asked again, "Why does the lady cover her face with a scarf, don't you know the gift of treating people?" Ning Yu smiled slightly, "The lady is not strange, just because the little woman is ugly, she covered her face with a scarf, so as to show respect." ”

Ziying looked at the gentle Ning Yu with a puzzled face, and thought that she might really have something unspeakable, if she didn't ask hard, it would seem that she was rude, so she changed the conversation and said, "As the saying goes, if you don't come to the door if you have nothing to do, don't say anything Madame." Ning Yu stared at Ziying and said, "Today is a begging festival, why is the lady full of sorrow and depression?" Ziying shook her head and smiled stiffly, "A ruthless person who is widowed and ruthless will leave the sorrow of envy in vain, but why bother to feign the joy of hypocrisy and add sadness." ”

Ning Yu heard this, but her eyes were also sad, "The lady is really a person in temperament...", and then deliberately said, "The lady is not only born with a fairy appearance, but also a noble county lord, with a high height and position, which must make many handsome men admire and fall in love, if you choose one person at random, how can you end up alone today?" Ziying wanted to argue, but Ning Yu said tightly, "Could it be that the lady is angry, her heart is higher than the sky, and it is difficult for all men in the world to enter the eyes of the law?" ”

Ziying's brows sank when she heard this, and her chest swelled, "What Madame said is really a contradiction!" Although Ziying does not experience the love of men and women, she also knows what love is, what love is, what loyalty is, and how can she be frivolous and indiscriminate, like a woman with a hook! If Ziying is a proud person, how can she like it... That's it, that's it..."Ziying suddenly stopped, and her eyes fell a little lightly.

Ning Yu had already guessed what Ziying had not finished speaking, and paused for a moment and smiled stiffly, "The little woman is talking nonsense, I hope the lady will forgive me... The lady is a sincere person, and the right person is true to teach the little woman to be ashamed..."Ziying suddenly thought of something and asked, "Didn't Mrs. come to Xingshi today to ask about the crime?" Ning Yu understood what she was thinking, and replied, "My husband Xu is affectionate and righteous to Lin, my husband and wife are loving and harmonious, and I am relieved of him..."

"That's good, the little girl and the husband Pingshui meet, I know what kind of person the husband is, and the lady can rest assured." Ziying's eyes revealed a trace of hatred, but Ning Yu mistook it for a compliment, and sighed in her heart, "Lang is a talented woman, a pair made in heaven, a pair set in the earth, since the love is not over, the old immortal master of the moon, why do you have to mistakenly pull the red line and teach Ning Yu to pass this love robbery..."

Ziying was surprised when she saw this, "Madam, what's the matter?" Ning Yu smiled back to her senses, "I thought about the old things with my husband, and I felt nostalgic in my heart..."Ziying was thoughtful, and she wanted to stop talking, but she was also stunned and thought about something, Ning Yu calmed down and said, "The little woman also has a word of advice for the lady." Ziying replied, "Madam, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Ning Yu paced a few steps and said lightly, "Everything has a reason to be exquisite, right and wrong, good and evil need to be carefully distinguished, and a touch of Dongyang memory is when you wake up... One day, the lady will understand what the little woman is saying today. Ziying didn't seem to understand, and was about to ask when Ning Yu said, "The lady is so good to take care, the little woman will go now..."

"A touch of Dongyang memories..."Ziying suddenly felt a headache when she thought about this sentence, and the four big words 'Dongyang School Palace' on the plaque flashed through her mind with the rain, and she hurriedly held on to the corner of the table and sat down, trying her best to calm down.

After a while, Qingxia walked in with a smile, and when she saw Ziying who was stunned and the porridge water on the table that was already cold, her face sank, and she came to her and asked, "Why hasn't Sister drunk porridge yet?" It's all cold..."Ziying wondered, "Why don't I know when you sent it?" Qingxia's eyes were confused, "This.. Didn't Sister knock on the door and bring it in by herself..."Ziying was even more confused when she heard this.

Qingxia told everything that happened before, Ziying was surprised, and after thinking about it, she was even more surprised and unbelievable, "Could it be her ?..?" Ziying's expression was the same as Ning Yu's expression when she saw her, and she couldn't believe that there was a woman in the world who looked like herself, who had the courage and scheming to break into the Shifu alone, and floated in and away like a fairy in the mortal world.
