It was not the middle of summer but fainted a maid, the red mother-in-law did not dare to slack off, and called the doctor after carrying the person back, and before the doctor came, the person woke up with slightly trembling eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she vaguely saw Granny Hong standing next to her, and she turned over and sat up: "Jiang An!" ”

The maid who had been helping to take care of her beside her turned her head to look at each other, and the entire Hou Mansion knew that Jiang An had died in the Dome Pass, and the Hou Ye also brought his ashes back.

Seeing that no one believed it, the maid got out of bed and knelt at the feet of the red mother-in-law, grabbed the corner of the red mother-in-law's skirt and said firmly: "The slave really saw Jiang An!" Mother-in-law, you believe in slaves! The slave really saw it! ”

The red mother-in-law hurriedly stopped: "Shut up! ”

Either someone is pretending to be a ghost, or this girl has done something wrong, no matter what, Granny Hong has to figure things out.

After settling down, Granny Hong went straight to the bamboo garden. , But Rong Changning didn't seem to think it was a big deal, but he just told people to rest and didn't pay much attention to it.

So for a while, rumors spread in the house, saying that Jiang An had returned to see Steward Jiang and Aji, and some people said that Jiang An had an unfulfilled wish, and even said that Jiang An's death was too strange......

These gossips passed by in a cloud, and the courtyards of the Marquis of Mingwu Mansion were all over the place, and the maids who were originally around Aji didn't dare to get close to her recently.

The 'freshness' that Mrs. Ying Guo said had passed before January. Aji didn't care what others thought of him, he went to the back yard every day and afternoon to serve Mrs. Yingguo, quietly beating the old lady's legs, and listening to things outside from time to time.

It happened that Chang Qiusu, the aunt of the second room, came to ask for peace that day, and saw at a glance that Aji was not an old man in the long room, so she asked: "This girl looks at her face, she doesn't look like a person in the imperial city." Mo wasn't the one Ah Yi brought back from Beisai? ”

Mrs. Ying Guo nodded slightly: "It is said that Jiang An's surviving person has done a lifetime for the Bai family, she has no relatives and no reason in Beisai, and it is also appropriate to take care of Jiang An." ”

Although Chang Qiusu is a cannon with a temper, he is not stupid, and when he saw Aji, he knew that this girl would not live in peace when she came to the Hou Mansion, so she shook the fan and sighed: "What is the saying about the door to enter the Hou Mansion?" Is it a subordinate or half a master? ”

Aji quietly raised his eyes to observe Mrs. Yingguo's expression, but heard Mrs. Yingguo say as it should be: "Inferior." ”

"Ah...... That's it, even if the love between the master and the servant is deep, there must be rules, the master is the master and the servant is the servant, and you can't exceed your duty. Saying that, Chang Qiusu looked at Aji meaningfully, and everyone in the room could see that this was said to her, but Aji kept lowering his eyes and kneading Mrs. Yingguo's legs as if he hadn't heard it, and didn't make a sound.

In my heart, I kept thinking about the words that Chang Qiusu said when I was there, and I couldn't help but feel a little lost.

I have never seen Bai Chuxi in these days, and I thought that it would be easier to please the old lady, but now it is not like this.

Thinking that God had not yet taken pity on him, when he walked out of Mrs. Yingguo's bedroom, Aji looked depressed, and a sad face gradually climbed on his bright little face.

She didn't know that the old lady's favorite niece and granddaughter of the Yue family had not been able to find a crack from her, let alone a foreigner who had known her for a long time and didn't know the details?

Coincidentally, I thought I wouldn't see Bai Chuxi today, who knew that he would come back early and was walking towards the old lady's courtyard. Aji was overjoyed when he saw it, and hurriedly circled around the rockery next to him and turned behind Bai Chuxi, and took off the pendant around his neck and pretended to be with him.

Bai Chuxi didn't know that Aji was thinking about this, so he heard someone behind him shouting loudly: "Master Hou!" ”

In the blink of an eye, the small and lovely person stood in the distance and smiled at him, smiling brighter than the warm sun in March.

"Aggie?"

"What are you going to do?" Aji ran to Bai Chuxi's side and asked, "Do you want to say hello to grandma?" ”

"Grandma?" Bai Chuxi didn't react for a while, and only after a moment of relief did he reply: "I'm going to greet my grandmother." ”

"It just so happens that my pendant seems to have fallen in the old lady's courtyard, and I was about to go back and look for it."

Bai Chuxi nodded and didn't speak again. The maids around saw the two walking side by side, and they all bowed their heads and pretended not to see anything.

"I thought that the housewife was just a very powerful woman, but I didn't expect her to be so powerful and dare to compete with the king of the Central Plains."

"What did you say?"

As soon as Aji turned around, his eyes were full of admiration for Rong Changning: "Just now, Mrs. Erfang came to talk to the old lady, saying that the King of the Central Plains plans to abolish the queen." ”

"What did my aunt say?" Beautiful

"Yes! She also said that everyone knew about it, and she was very scared! Aji pursed his lips and sighed lightly: "I don't know what kind of temperament the king of the Central Plains is, but if this matter is placed in our Dayi, the king will definitely be angry, and he will anger the family for several generations." The mistress is not a presumptuous person, she must have thought of a way back when she did this. ”

Hearing this, Bai Chuxi's face was not so good-looking, and even the green cedar pattern on his robe was much colder: "Don't say this in the future." ”

"Oh." Aji nodded obediently, chasing after Bai Chuxi like a little tail: "I heard that the men in the imperial city are the same as ours in Beisai, and there is more than one woman behind them, but I haven't seen other hostesses when I came to the mansion." ”

"A piece of cake is enough for the hungry, and only those who don't like it eat and eat it." Bai Chuxi pursed his lips: "It is enough to have a lady in the family, and I am even more so." ”

Aji lowered his head and smiled ashamedly: "To have a husband like Hou Ye, the housewife is lucky." Jiang An is also a good person, but it's a pity that he met with misfortune, otherwise he would have been a good husband. I don't think I will ever meet someone like Jiang An again in my life, let alone someone like Hou Ye. ”

The two walked out a few steps like this, Bai Chuxi suddenly stopped and stared back at Aji, he didn't speak, Aji didn't know what Bai Chuxi wanted to do, he only felt that his eyes were so hot that people couldn't raise their heads.

Maybe this is a new opportunity for her, but Bai Chuxi is not a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade: "I didn't see you talk much before, but today I chatter." After coming to the Imperial City, I also learned to talk about the rights and wrongs of others. It is your own choice to stay in the house and be a subordinate, and the subordinate must abide by the rules of the subordinate, you, me, grandma, such a non-discriminate words to pick up by yourself, if you really don't understand, go to the aunt in the yard for advice. ”

"......" The lukewarm words made Aji stunned, and when he saw Bai Chuxi turn around and leave, Aji hurriedly followed, and Bai Chuxi stopped again: "From today onwards, you don't go to your grandmother's yard again, I will ask someone to find your pendant, and if you find it, I will send it to you." ”

Seeing that Bai Chuxi was leaving, Aji hurriedly chased after him and said, "But if I don't come to serve the old lady, I have nothing to do." ”

"The Hou Mansion has a lot of errands, and I will ask the housewife to arrange things for you." Then Bai Chuxi left without looking back, leaving Aji standing in place in a daze.

……

The bamboo outside the main courtyard is green and green, the wind drills through the gaps, the bamboo leaves rustle, and the sound of flowing water accompanied by the small bridge is the most comfortable.

The sword rose and fell like a cloud of water, cutting off the slender leaves and rolling up the splash. Rong Changning sat in the courtyard and ate tea with Rong Cheng, Rong Cheng was bored watching Xun Jingqi practice swordsmanship, and at the same time heard people tell how the one from Beisai was trained by the second brother-in-law to red eyes.

The more Xiaodong and Xiaoqiu talked, the happier they became, and the nurse held the child and listened to it.

In the end, Xiao Dong asked: "Didn't the mistress have already ordered to go down, except for Zhuyuan, she can go wherever she wants to be on an errand." ”

"She went to ask her aunt in the hospital again, and her aunt answered like this!" Xiaoqiu shook Xiaodong's hand and asked, "Where did you go in the end?" ”

"There are only two courtyards with masters in this house, and there are not many places where she can have the opportunity to meet Master Hou, where else can she want to go?"

"She invited herself to the backyard to sprinkle and sweep!"

"Huh? How did you choose such an errand? ”

"If you want me to say, she is just like Aunt Xu at the beginning, she wants to make some kind of bitter trick to show men. It is estimated that he wants to show this pitiful appearance to Hou Ye. ”

"You two chirp endlessly, but I'm indulging you too much?" As soon as Rong Changning glanced back, neither of them dared to speak.

Rong Fang knocked on the edge of the bowl and muttered: "It's not just the two of them, I'm afraid everyone in the house will feel like this." But I heard that the Holy Lord abolished Queen Li, and the second brother-in-law has a lot to worry about in the court, where can I take care of her? ”

Aji, who seems to be weak and deceitful, stayed in the house like this, like many house slaves in the Ming Wuhou Mansion, carried a bucket every day and swept along the stone road, walked all over the backyard of the house, and was tired every day with a sore back, and when he returned to the room, he had to take out a coarse cloth and write and draw on it.

After seven or eight days like this, she never saw Bai Chuxi again, and Bai Chuxi never gave her a chance to talk to herself.

Aji walked alone under the big tree behind the cloister with a broom, and looked up to the west, it was the treasury of the Hou Mansion, which was specially placed with the dowry of the main mother's piled mountains and seas.

Seeing that the house slaves in the courtyard had gone to lunch, Aggie poked his broom at the edge of the tree and headed towards it himself. Push the door and quickly find a suitably sized box, open it and flip inside.

I didn't find what I was looking for, and I looked at it early, so I turned around and went upstairs, and when I walked to the innermost, Aji saw a screen, and there seemed to be something very valuable behind the screen.

As soon as I bypassed the screen, I saw a large jade box, just the size of a long sword. Aggie ran forward lightly, opened the lid and took a look, and let out a long sigh of relief and a happy smile.

At the same time, a cold and familiar sentence came from behind: "I finally found it, congratulations." ”

Aji turned around suddenly, and saw someone he shouldn't have seen, and his eyes were red in surprise and panic: "Jiang ...... Quiet?! ”
