Diancui refused to visit the old lady who had forced Yuan Zhiheng out of the house, and the eldest lady was not reluctant, but only talked about two idle sentences in her yard and Shi Shiran left.

When he came, he was obviously aggressive, and he looked like a teacher asking for sin, so he changed his face in a few words. Dian Cui couldn't help but be vigilant in her heart, but she couldn't figure out what the eldest lady's true intentions were for a while.

Since the day of the fight, after asking Dian Cui to ask the old lady for peace in vain, the eldest lady has never made any requests that make Dian Cui embarrassed. The courtyard of the house up and down to Diancui is also proper and thoughtful, and there has never been a shortage of food, clothing, utensils and anything. Even Yu Shuqing's side was also stained, and some nourishing fetals would be sent in the kitchen.

At the beginning, Dian Cui was worried, whether these nourishing things had ever been moved, who knows? On the contrary, Yu Shuqing comforted that she was just an inconspicuous person in this huge Yuan Mansion, who would bother to harm her. used to lock her up, but now she has tonics, all because she has a vital friend.

She can also see it, there is such a good thing to be in vain.

The eldest lady seemed to understand Diancui's concerns, and even asked someone to take the tonic to Yu Shuqing's courtyard and cook it by her maid. Diancui was also polite and took all of these to the medical hall, and the doctor in the medical hall took a look, saying that there is nothing wrong with these supplements being mild things, and it is okay to eat them together, so Diancui promised Yu Shuqing to take supplements.

Diancui and herself have a deep affection, and Yu Shuqing feels more guilty about her in her heart.

A few days later, the eldest lady invited the opera troupe to sing in the mansion, and invited some ladies of the family in Hangzhou.

The mother-in-law outside came in with a shy face and reported that the eldest lady had invited the opera to sing, and invited the seventh lady to listen to the opera in the eastern courtyard.

At that time, Yu Shuqing was embroidering in the courtyard, and when she heard that she was going to listen to the play, her eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "It's been boring for a few days, why don't we go and listen to it?" ”

Dian Cui is packing up his clothes with the maids, and the clothes that he didn't have time to wear for Yuan Zhiheng when he was in the capital are also ready, but unfortunately the climate of Hangzhou Mansion is different from that of the capital.

"If you want to go, let's listen." Diancui smiled, and said to a few busy maids Which of you is with me, the current trend in Hangzhou Mansion is Kunqu Opera, which is different from the Xipi Erhuang cavity in the capital, and it must be another lively.

Rose smiled, "I'm not going." "She was born in Hangzhou Mansion, so she was naturally not curious.

"Let's not go either, there are still a few places in this official uniform that need to be slightly modified, just hurry up and make it while you have time," Qiuyue and Dongxue smiled: "Isn't there another one here who can't sit still, so let's go cheaply." ”

Xin'er's face was slightly red, and she said: "I didn't go because I wanted to listen to the play, I had to protect our wife, these women who seem to be gentle like water, in fact, their minds are deep in the twists and turns!" ”

"Xin'er, don't talk nonsense." Diancui reprimanded.

Yu Shuqing over there just didn't hear it, and smiled and urged Diancui to hurry up and change her clothes.

Gorgeous and powerful gold-embroidered peony red silk satin shirts, rose-colored short-lined silk silk skirts, towering silver silk buns, and gold-inlaid jade crowns of the four seasons. Shui Lingling's eyes showed a slight majesty, and even the thick cherry lips that hooked people actually made people look at the charming atmosphere, and they looked like a young and beautiful prefect's wife.

Yu Shuqing looked at her friend quietly, they had only known Qin Xiaolan for more than two years, but Diancui treated her sincerely and kindly. In the past two years, Diancui has changed the most and not much, from the little merchant girl who smiled sweetly and sly at the beginning of the meeting, to the prefect's wife who is now extraordinary and calm, but the protection and righteousness in her heart have never changed.

On the other hand, he and Xiaolan have changed, whether it is outside or inside. Some of these changes are due to the changes in the world in the past two years, and some of them have to do it as they grow older.

But Diancui's mind is simpler, and he hasn't noticed the changes in these two friends, or found tolerance and acceptance in his heart.

From the west courtyard to the east fourth courtyard, it took a lot of tea. Along the way, Diancui and Yu Shuqing had their own thoughts in their hearts, but they didn't have many words.

When I arrived at the east courtyard, it seemed that everyone had arrived, and the eldest lady was surrounded by everyone, smiling reservedly and noblely.

Diancui couldn't figure out which one was which, but fortunately, Yu Shuqing was clear, and said a few auspicious words one by one. Dian Cui is only responsible for smiling, but Yuan Zhiheng is the same generation as the current Master Yuan, and her generation is considered to be the largest among the ladies and young ladies of this group. In addition, she is the wife of the parents and officials in this Hangzhou mansion, and no matter how reserved Diancui is, it is understandable in the eyes of outsiders.

The eldest lady saw that Diancui had arrived, and a subtle strange look flashed in her eyes, and it was rare to put down the shelf in front of everyone and come over to take Jicui's hand.

"This is the old lady of the Xu family, one of the three major families in our Hangzhou Mansion, and this is the lady of the Shen family," the eldest lady introduced a rich and generous old lady, and another young woman dressed in flowers to meet Diancui.

With the addition of the Yuan family, these three are the daughters of the three most powerful families in Hangzhou.

"Old Mrs. Xu, Jin An, Mrs. Shen is polite." Diancui smiled and bowed lightly to the two.

"The prefect's wife is about to be polite, I have long heard that the prefect's wife is extraordinary, and when I see it today, it is indeed my appearance and temperament that make me forget to look at it."

It was difficult for Mrs. Xu to think of the prefect lady she had heard of from the capital and the young woman in front of her with a sweet smile and a beautiful appearance.

In the end, hearing is false, and seeing is believing.

"The Seventh Lady is polite," the lady of the Shen family on the side was not from a high background and did not have much knowledge, but because of her very delicate appearance and gentle and petty temperament, she won the favor of the eldest young master of the Shen family, and married back to the Shen Mansion despite the opposition of the family. There were a lot of jokes in the back, and everyone knew what kind of person she was.

Her voice to Mrs. Seven was obviously to please Mrs. Yuan, and she didn't care about giving Diancui bad luck.

The smile on Dian Cui's face froze, and he didn't look at her, but only turned his head to look at the graceful and flirtatious play on the stage, and sang the graceful and melodious Kunqu Opera, which was naturally much more beautiful and pleasant than the chattering voice of this Shen family lady.

When the old lady Xu saw that Dian Cui was safe, she didn't move, she listened to the music while eating tea, and when she heard the emotion, she didn't forget to talk about the mystery with Dian Cui, who was sitting next to her.

Diancui can feel the meaning of wanting to make friends from her, this family is to suppress, but if you can win over, you must win over first. Diancui is not stupid, and he is a smart person, and he gradually understands his intentions from Yuan Zhiheng's series of actions.

In this Hangzhou Mansion and the nearby counties, there are still some big clans who can see the form in front of them clearly, and there are also those who are willing to rein in their edge, coupled with Yuan Zhiheng's absolute strong coercion, which makes the remaining few families unable to turn up the storm.

Seeing that the old lady of the Xu family was showing affection, Diancui naturally wanted to push the boat down the river and return the favor.

But there are some people who don't know what to do at this juncture.

"If you want to talk about this Kunqu opera, I think of a person," the Shen Niangzi's beautiful eyes flowed, and the voice was not big or small, and it happened to be heard by Dian Cui, Mrs. Yuan, and the old lady of the Xu family who were sitting in front.

Dian Cui and the old lady of the Xu family never talked to each other, only smiled and listened to the play. As the main family, Mrs. Yuan naturally couldn't snub the guests, so she asked puzzledly, "Who did the lady of the Shen family think of?" ”

"I remember when I was young, that Qin Qingqing Qin girl, the Kunqu opera she sang was called a hundred turns and thousands of times that made people intoxicated," Shen Niangzi said Qin Qingqing, as if she had a deliberate pause, and then smiled:

Speaking of this Qin girl, she has a gentle and generous temperament, and she is very liked by everyone. The prefect's wife may not recognize it, but yes, maybe anyone in this world has some entanglements with whom. ”

As he spoke, he smiled and looked at Diancui.

Seeing her like this, Diancui said in her heart If she didn't open her mouth again, it was estimated that she wouldn't tell herself to listen to the play.

"I don't know what Shen Niangzi said, and why?"

Diancui asked lazily.

The Shen lady was in high spirits and was about to speak, but she heard the old lady of the Xu family say lightly: "It's been a long time ago, and people are irrelevant people, so why are you mentioning it now?" ”

"Old Madam Xu, don't worry, aren't we idle to talk and kill the boredom," the Shen lady refused to give up, and sighed leisurely: "It's a pity that Miss Qin is a miserable person and has waited for so long...... Hey, it's all empty. ”

The Qin Qingqing Qin girl she said was the cousin of Xiaolan in Qianjiang County? Yu Shuqing listened to the words of the Shen family's lady under Diancui, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart. Listening to what she meant, this Qin girl seemed to have some kind of connection with Diancui. Yu Shuqing couldn't say what was wrong for a while, in short, she felt that this Shen lady was not well-intentioned.

When Shen Niangzi said this, her eyes were fixed on Diancui for a moment, which meant that it couldn't be more obvious. Unexpectedly, Diancui suddenly turned his head at this "critical moment", pointed to the corner on the stage, and said, "Which one is that corner?" Look at that dancing, it is really gorgeous and elegant, soft and elegant. ”

"That is Mr. Zhang, the famous Tsing Yi Dan in our Hangzhou Mansion, and the pretty Xiao Dan who plays a maid next to him is his apprentice Xiao Qiuyue, this Xiao Qiuyue is now a hot character." The eldest lady accosted.

Diancui frowned, this Xiao Qiuyue sang well, and her dancing posture was also very graceful, but she didn't like this person's eyes, and she always felt evil.

Mrs. Shen wanted to say something, but when she saw that Mrs. Yuan had changed the topic, she had to keep her mouth shut.

She kept her mouth shut, although the others present had different plans for this prefect's wife, it was inconvenient to rush forward to disturb her. So the view of this opera is quite smooth and peaceful, and the dotted cui is even more enjoyable.

At the end of the song, the eldest lady rewarded the class owner and the corners, and everyone was overjoyed to take more silver than usual, and kowtowed to thank them.

Diancui said goodbye to everyone and walked out of the east courtyard with Yu Shuqing.

Diancui's face began to become bad after saying goodbye to everyone, and the smile on his face finally faded, and a complex and indescribable meaning appeared in his eyes.

Yu Shuqing lives in the west courtyard like Diancui, but Diancui lives in the big courtyard in the west, and she lives in a small courtyard in a corner outside.

"What's wrong with you?" Yu Shuqing also felt a little uncomfortable, but she still noticed that something was wrong with Cui.

Diancui didn't seem to hear her, and walked straight forward.

It's just because there is already a huge wave in her heart at this time.

Qin Qingqing, she knew it in her previous life.

Yuan Zhiheng in his previous life was still amazing, that An Peiqing paid attention everywhere and tried his best to please, it was only possible that he was not a high school champion at that time, and only entered the top ten, and then Diancui heard that he seemed to have gone to the local government to marry the woman surnamed Qin who was his childhood sweetheart, and at that time An Peiqing also specially mentioned that the Qin woman was ordinary in appearance but had an indescribable bearing throughout her body, which was unforgettable......

I was about to forget it before, but now that I heard this name again, how could Dian Cui not be shocked or bitter in his heart, although some things have changed in this life, but I think that Yuan Zhiheng's general fate has not changed, and he finally came to the place to be an official. That Qin girl still exists......

After walking for a short time, Yu Shuqing suddenly turned white on her head, with beads of sweat the size of beans on her head, covering her abdomen and saying that it hurt. Diancui himself was also depressed, and he was at a loss for a while, and there was no one else on the side, so he had to hurriedly order Xin'er to wake up the doctor in the house. The maid beside Yu Shuqing was a sturdy one, bent over and carried Yu Shuqing on her back and quickly walked towards the doctor's yard.

Diancui anxiously staggered behind, the maid seemed to know some kung fu, carrying Yu Shuqing on her back and walking like flying, and Diancui, who turned left and right, disappeared from them.

Since entering this Yuan Mansion, Dian Cui has not had much chance to get familiar with this huge mansion, and now she is lost.

All this came too suddenly, Dian Cui was still a little confused, and he didn't care about suspecting anyone, but he vaguely felt that the maid was hiding her kung fu, which was very suspicious.

A dark cloud obscured the crescent moon, and Diancui walked back in this strange garden, rubbing his memory.
