Ouyang Zhen's worries are not unreasonable, a few days ago, Mrs. Liu's son beat the Ying, although the turmoil is not big, but there are a lot of rumors in the house. It took a few days before it gradually subsided.

If Ouyang Zhen goes out for a walk on weekdays, it is strange to see those maids looking at her, but she is well cultivated and ignores it. It's just that it's not a matter for a long time.

Ouyang Zhen's worries were told to Wan Hui, Wan Hui thought about it carefully, and then said: "Madame's worries are also reasonable, although the little lady has entered the mansion, she is always unjustified in her name, and it is difficult to guarantee that she will not be bullied by the princes and county lords in the mansion when she grows up in the future." Now that Mrs. is still young, and Master Hou is also very fond of her, she must take advantage of this momentum to give the little lady a name. ”

Ouyang Zhen also nodded, but he always felt that the time was not ripe enough, so he put it down.

The summer of July passed slowly and lively. Since Chu Huotian went to Ouyang Zhen's courtyard, he always rested there several days a month, and if he got any good things, he would definitely have a share of Ouyang Zhen.

Concubine Chu saw that Chu Huotian was gradually running towards the "Jingyun Pavilion", and she gradually couldn't sit still, if Ouyang Zhen asked for peace, she would mention the matter of changing the yard from time to time, but every time Ouyang Zhen pushed it tactfully.

Liu's is as enthusiastic as before for Ouyang Zhen, often coming to drink tea and chat in the afternoon, Ouyang Zhen is also enthusiastic about her, his attitude is neither humble nor arrogant, and he often sends homemade perfume and balm to her. Liu was very happy.

Chang smiled: "Sister Ouyang's hands are so skillful, a few days ago, I applied the lotus fragrance given by my sister, and the smell is clearly faint, if there is none, but it is a coincidence that the Hou Ye came over that day, but said that the smell of my body is fragrant, and said that without the smoky and flirtatious fragrance, the nose is a lot more comfortable." ”

Ouyang Zhen listened, and only smiled lightly, and added a cup of freshly made jasmine tea for her before saying: "Sister Ruyu likes it, although the incense is strong, but the weather is so hot, it is uncomfortable to smell." If you have a few drops of perfume on your body, when you sweat, you will not only smell the fragrance, but also cover up a lot of sweat. If my sister likes it, when the seasonal flowers bloom, my sister will make a few more bottles for my sister, but this manual work is a little slower, and I hope my sister will wait patiently. ”

Liu Shi smiled and smiled, and said busily: "Thank you so much sister, there are not many people under my sister, another day I will ask a few idle maids in my room to give my sister a hand." And he plucked all the flowers from the garden. Let my sister concoct. ”

Ouyang Zhen smiled and said: "Sister Ruyu can't be too ruthless, if all the flowers in the garden are gone, the other sisters won't blame me to death." ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he casually lowered his head and blew the floating leaves on the tea and said: "What are my sisters afraid of, what can they say, the top is amazing, I have taken all their flowers, and then asked outside to send a batch, which is worth a lot of silver." ”

took a sip of tea, and praised: "My sister is such a delicate person, no wonder Master Hou likes it so much and makes many exceptions for his sister." When Ouyang Zhen heard this, his heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "Sister praises it, sister Pu Liu's posture, where can I compare to a few sisters, it's just that Hou Ye loves him." ”

Liu put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Sister Ouyang is too humble, you said that Hou Ye has been going out to fight for more than ten years, when did you see him bring back a woman and a half, and some of the commanders and officials of other countries who have suffered defeat have always sent singers and beauties or something, and they have asked Hou Ye to return them." And the emperor sometimes rewards it, but he can't push it back, so the Hou Ye only accepts it. There is also the study, which ordinary people are not allowed to enter. When the Xu family first came to the mansion, every time they found an excuse to go over, they were bombarded by Hou Ye. Over time, the ladies in the house did not dare to go to the study to provoke the marquis. ”

After that, he sighed slightly and said: "This day has passed day by day, I see that Hou Ye is not so concerned about which lady, and now that my sister is here, it seems that Hou Ye really likes my sister, this is my sister's blessing, and I should cherish it." After that, he looked at Ouyang Zhen, and the beautiful crescent moon eyes were full of sincerity.

Ouyang Zhen was also moved, shook her hand and comforted: "Sister treats sister really sincerely, sister don't sigh, don't you still have a son, this is the eldest son of the Hou Ye, and he will not inherit everything in the mansion in the future." My sister is the one who is really blessed. ”

The two chattered for a while, and then Liu went back.

Ouyang Zhen sent her to the path outside the courtyard gate before turning back. Ming Ying helped Ouyang Zhen, and when she saw that the Liu family and her party were far away, she said, "Madam, that Mrs. Liu has given birth to a child for several years, but her figure is beautiful." is also humble and generous, the slave maid looks at her in the mansion and she is sincere to Mrs., but unfortunately the son of the world is too arrogant. ”

When Ouyang Zhen heard this, a mockery flashed on his white jade-like face, and he asked rhetorically: "In your opinion, the ladies in the mansion don't treat me sincerely?" ”

Ming Ying was suddenly speechless, and her delicate face was slightly frightened: "Madam, the slave maid said the wrong thing." The lady spared the slave and maid. ”

Ouyang Zhen helped her hand, and his tender fingers touched her forehead, and said with a slight sneer: "You, at such a young age, you know how to read people's hearts for good or bad." If you're not sincere to me, can't I see it? I won't say much about it in the future. ”

Seeing that she didn't mean to blame, Mingying smiled and spit out her pink tongue and said, "I know, Mingying won't dare next time." ”

Wan Hui walked over and said with a smile: "Madam, what to do with the gift given by Mrs. Liu?" Ouyang Zhen said casually: "All the valuables are sealed and placed in the warehouse, and Ming'er will return some gifts." ”

Wan Hui took Ming Ying's hand and helped Ouyang Zhen back to the house, before saying, "Ming Ying doesn't know how important she is, don't take it to heart, madam." ”

Ouyang Zhen sat in front of the dressing table, straightened his sideburns, the person in the mirror had bright eyes, and his face was clear and beautiful, but there was a trace of worry in his big eyes. She said slowly: "She is still young, where does she understand that people's hearts are sinister." My aunt is also an old man from the palace, don't you know where there is still a trace of sisterhood in the harem? Although the Hou Mansion is small, what does my aunt think? ”

Wan Hui's heart trembled suddenly, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Ouyang Zhen said again: "But what Mrs. Liu said today made me a little more vigilant, since the Hou Ye made such an exception to me, with the jealous nature of the Xu family, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no more trouble." My aunt told her to be careful in the future, when I went to the princess to ask for peace these days, I saw that her face was wrong, and she was so patient that she was afraid that she would have a seizure. ”

Wan Hui comforted: "What is Madam afraid of, she can't make trouble anymore, this time is different from the past, if she makes trouble again, she also has to see if the Hou Ye agrees." ”

Ouyang Zhen smiled warmly, and then stopped talking.
