The weather is getting colder, in order to meet Dian Cui's desire to break up with the Yuan family, Yuan Zhiheng is on duty every day, so he does not approve official documents in the yamen, but goes back to his and Dian Cui's small courtyard to work. Diancui and he add fragrance and ink, and the days are leisurely and comfortable.

Wu Shi, the mother of Diancui in the capital, personally came to the letter, mentioning the recent situation of the second son's return to Zhongqing, saying that in addition to the shops in the capital, the other shops that have been opened to various places have been sold, plus the silver money accumulated at home, and the 30,000 taels sent by Diancui, a total of 100,000 taels, and sent them to Tianjin Wei. The bitter lord personally came to the door and said that if he got the money, he promised not to pursue it again, and the life of the second brother Diancui was saved. But Brother Diancui's side found some strangeness in this case, the money has not been handed over now, and the two parties are still in a stalemate.

No matter what, as long as the second brother saves his life, Diancui's heart will be put down a little.

Diancui and Qin Xiaolan met in a tavern for a drink, and occasionally when they were slightly drunk, they came back to Yuan Zhiheng's small study and chatted with him about what they had seen and heard. Yuan Zhiheng became more and more indulgent to Diancui, she just went out to eat and drink and listen to music, and did not restrain her, only told her to grow more and return home before the time came.

In the days of Hangzhou Mansion, this is the beginning of a stable and tasteful life, in winter, there is no need to be cold in the capital here, and the women who love beauty here do not wear the heavy spiral jackets, only wearing large sleeves with high collars and satin plackets tight-fitting short and thin jackets, makeup eyebrows, finely carved half-old buttons, and the lower body wears a sheepskin gold skirt with a line along the edge, and when you go out, you can add a cloak with a raw edge at most.

In winter, the business of the tavern is good, and there are a few private seats upstairs, all of which are called the noble ladies and ladies in this mansion to order a place, coming and going, when they pass by Diancui and Qin Xiaolan's private room, most of them come to say a few words, and after a long time, Diancui and they are also familiar with each other.

Diancui has not yet found a place to eat and enjoy flowers with these noble girls' families, she does not like to win over people, but makes people more flocking, and feels that she is noble and reserved and mysterious.

Qin Xiaolan waited for the ladies who came to greet her to disperse, then she covered the door and whispered a few words in Diancui's ear, to the effect that she heard the wind that Qin Qingqing had pinched Diancui's handle in her hand and wanted to use it to deal with her.

"Handle?" Diancui was a little curious, what else could she have that she didn't even know about.

Looking at Dian Cui in such a daze, Qin Xiaolan sighed and said, No matter if she really has a handle in her hand, you need to be careful.

Since Qin Qingqing took away 10,000 taels of silver from Diancui, Diancui and his wife have almost no contact with her. Diancui thought that she had stopped thinking about it, and it seemed that she still didn't give up.

Dian Cui went back and told Yuan Zhiheng about it, Yuan Zhiheng thought for a while, and said: "If you talk about your handle, does she mean that her temperament changes greatly when she gets drunk?" ”

Diancui was stunned, this can be regarded as a handle?

"I see that you still don't go out to eat and drink less, and you spend all day with your friend surnamed Qin, and seeing her is more diligent than seeing me." Yuan Zhiheng was a little surprised.

Dian Cui grinned: "If you don't say that we all have a special fate with the surname Qin." ”

Yuan Zhiheng coughed a few times, and was stunned, he had never thought about Qin Qingqing, and he blamed himself for not explaining it to Dian Cui earlier, he only thought that Dian Cui was a child at that time, and she just had to obey and trust what she did. Unexpectedly, the student was taught, and she herself had learned to think crankily.

"Anyway, it's been cold lately.,Or don't go out to play.,I've found some new notebooks.,You can read the notebook when I'm dealing with official business.。 We can also rest earlier, it's so cold, aren't you the most afraid of the cold? Yuan Zhiheng earnestly persuaded.

In the summer, Diancui disliked him when he fell asleep and hid away from her, but in the winter, he fell in love with him.

"It's been almost a year, how come it's not moving......" Diancui pursed her lips and pointed to her stomach and sighed.

"What's the hurry, and no one is urging you, the two of us in this house have the final say." Yuan Zhiheng was not in a hurry.

"If that's the case, when will the branches and leaves ......" Diancui hummed softly, and her mother also asked about this in a letter a while ago, and there was also a hint of urging in her words.

Yuan Zhiheng laughed, touched his little head, and sighed: "What an idiot, I'm still growing up, so I'm in a hurry to be a mother." ”

Diancui's physique is quite strange, in the past, the general height of bean sprouts, growing late and growing slowly, thirteen or fourteen years old only began to jump a little, and this year it has grown again, and the clothes are constantly being redone.

She doesn't like others to say that she is small, thinking that she was even shorter in her last life than now, and no one said that she was a child. When he came to Xianggong, he always secretly regarded himself as such an ignorant baby.

said that Diancui was detained in the room by Yuan Zhiheng, just like the hibernating frog, who could survive a warm and shy winter. During this period, Yuan Zhiheng celebrated her birthday with the people in the hospital, and spent a warm and lively New Year together. Diancui took the opportunity to eat and have a good time, and on the second day, Yuan Zhiheng's eyes were a little shy and couldn't leave Diancui.

It's a pity that this is the case, Diancui's stomach still doesn't move. Diancui was a little anxious, and before the first month, someone asked someone to find a doctor. The doctor is an ordinary person, and he diagnoses his pulse, and he has not been diagnosed for a long time.

Qin Xiaolan knew her secret here, so she hid her name and asked the old man in Hangzhou Mansion about a doctor, but this doctor has a withdrawn personality and never condescends to come to the door, and mortals must go to see him for pulse diagnosis and treatment. When Dian Cui heard this, he immediately cleaned up, asked Du Xiaozhu to prepare the carriage, and wanted to use Qin Xiaolan to find the master.

"Madam, it's still cold this day, my lord can let you stay in the courtyard." Dongxue was helpless to persuade, and I don't know why their master's favorite thing is to run outside, and it is easy to stay in the house honestly for a winter, this is still waiting for spring to come, as soon as Miss Qin comes, she can't help it anymore.

Diancui waved his hand, Lord Dao was on duty until the moment of the unitary, and we would have already returned before that, and we would not delay cooking for the adults. In her last life, she was locked up in a small black room for three years, and when she was dying, she begged the mother-in-law who was the gatekeeper to move her compassion and let her out, so that before she died, she looked at the vast world outside again, and died on the street as she wished......

In this life, she is too lazy to leave the house, but she can't stand being detained in the house all the time, this winter she obediently obeyed Yuan Zhiheng's words, and she didn't feel uncomfortable staying in the yard for the first step without going out, but she was sincere.

Let's say that Cui and Qin Xiaolan took a carriage and went to the doctor. There were already a lot of people waiting in his yard for medical treatment. Diancui is as good as a stream, and she is also waiting outside, and when it is her turn, it will be almost time, Qin Xiaolan is a little worried, afraid that it will be too late to go back, and Lord Yuan will not be worried.

Diancui saw her uneasiness, and comforted softly, no need to worry, if she goes back late, she will be reprimanded at most, and it will be fine immediately if she has good words.

Qin Xiaolan smiled dumbly, this Lord Yuan and Dian Cui are really a "different" couple. Men in this world are heavens, and wives uphold the discipline of virtuous and virtuous virtues, and it is really rare to be as "relaxed" as Diancui.

Entering the infirmary, the doctor looked at Diancui dressed in silk and satin, her posture seemed to be casual and refreshing, but it was clear that she was noble and elegant, and the people around her were all very well-behaved, and she knew in her heart that this person was from an extraordinary background. Although the doctor doesn't like the powerful, she has never identified herself, and when she comes, she doesn't show the rules and rules and queue up, the doctor sighed, and even so she had to pretend to be stupid and give her a serious pulse.

"Madame suffered some sins when she was young, and she hurt her roots, which caused a great loss to her body," the doctor took the pulse, looked at it for a long time, and said slowly: "I made up for it too quickly, but it was harmful and useless." ”

Although Diancui is now taller and her appearance and skin are radiant, the root of her body is still damaged, and she has never been able to conceive a child because of this. The doctor prescribed a gentle and nourishing prescription for her, prepared some herbs for her, and told her that she should not be in a hurry to give birth to a child, and she had to take care of her body first.

The master and servant of Diancui happily took the prescription and herbs and thanked the doctor, and Dongxue took out a silver ingot of five taels as a thank you gift. The doctor frowned, only charged the usual consultation fee and herbal medicine, and coldly refused the five taels of silver thanks.

"This doctor is a good one," Dian Cui was still a little excited in the carriage.

"He said that you suffered a great sin when you were young, but how can you return home from a top family in the capital...... Could it be ......" Qin Xiaolan was worried, and she felt that it was inappropriate for her to ask these exits. After all, Diancui has never mentioned it, and at this time, it is a private matter of others, and it may also be a sad matter. But she heard the rumors last year that Qin Qingqing wanted to make a fuss about Cui's life experience, and she was really not at ease, so she would ask rashly.

But she didn't expect Diancui to be unkind, she asked her and told her about her childhood experience, and praised the doctor by the way, but he was a capable person. When Dian Cui was young, he was abused by Qian Laosi's family in that Qianjia Village, and it was common for him to be beaten and frozen and sick if he didn't have enough to eat, and it was common for him to be injured at all.

Qin Xiaolan listened to Diancui talking, and when she turned around, she burst into tears, she never expected Diancui to have such an encounter. She also said that Diancui is a delicate child who grew up in a small honey pot, and it is not as cold as the changes in her family that have been ignored by others, but she didn't expect that her idea of grievance was not worth mentioning in front of Diancui.

The powder on her face that she cried like this was all gone, but she was a little green to comfort her, patted her hands, and the Tao was all over.

Du Xiaozhu followed Diancui's instructions, first drove the carriage to send Miss Qin home, Diancui got off the carriage to say goodbye to her, and made an appointment to go to enjoy the flowers and eat tea together when the first spring flowers bloomed in spring, Qin Xiaolan reluctantly entered the gate.

Diancui once again mentioned his childhood experience, and he felt a lot of joy for a while, and he felt a lot of feelings when he looked at the sunset with his half-hidden head in front of him.

"Let's take a walk." Diancui decided not to get into the carriage and walked for a while.

Qiu Yue hurriedly took the big coat from the carriage and put it on with her, and the master and servant walked like this.

At this time, there were a lot of people on the banks of the Qiantang River, such as those who sold wine, shaved their heads, and sharpened scissors and mirrors...... It's bustling, it's time to set up a night stall.

Diancui looked at the bustle, and suddenly seemed to hear someone calling his name, and turned his head, only to see the bustling crowd.

"Qiuyue, have you ever heard someone call my name?" Diancui asked suspiciously.

Qiu Yue was stunned, and said with a smile Now Mrs. is a dignified prefect lady, except for adults and Xiaolan girl, who has the courage to call Mrs. Fang's name directly? Madame, there are a lot of people here, let's get in the carriage.

Diancui pursed her lips and smiled, and was helped by Qiuyue to get into the carriage, when the curtain was lifted, Diancui had no intention of turning her head, but saw a somewhat familiar face, that person seemed to be looking at Diancui, and when she saw her face, she seemed to be quite shocked, and quickly avoided her eyes.

On the way home, Dian Cui looked at that face, thought about it, and finally muttered:

Impossible, this is Hangzhou Mansion, not Qingping County, Shandong...... But the girl's appearance is clearly Qian Yueying, the daughter of the fourth family of Qian, and her former sister.
