When the lady turned around, Diancui glared fiercely at Yu Shuqing, who was a thief, and the latter hung his head and shrank behind the maid next to him.

Hey, this Yu Shuqing was also the best lady in the family before she got married, and now she is married into a big family, and between the eldest lady who can really say everything, her arms can't twist her thighs, which is understandable.

Thinking like this in her heart, Diancui forgave her slightly.

Fortunately, this eldest lady is very acquainted, and she doesn't talk about some reckless topics in front of the prefect's wife, Dian Cui, only talks about some elegant things about flowers and grass poems, and all the ladies and aunts in the Yuan Mansion who can't even be called by Yu Shuqing are talking and laughing.

Although there are many people, it is much better than the lifeless one yesterday, and Diancui relaxes his heart to concentrate on enjoying the flowers.

A garden in this main courtyard is as big as the entire courtyard of Yu Shuqing and his wife, and naturally it will not be such ordinary flowers and plants.

One of the flower trees grew a foot high, and the flowers were huge/large, white as jade, like the Xinyi flowers that Diancui had seen in Beijing. The lady introduced that this flower tree is called lotus magnolia, also called foreign magnolia, just because this flower tree is not a thing of the Central Plains, when the flower blooms it is like both Xin Yi and like a lotus, so it got these two names.

When everyone walked in, they could also ask about the extremely fragrant fragrance, and Mrs. said that this lotus magnolia also has a wonderful place:

In the early morning, I picked the big flowers that would bloom and put them into a clean glass utensil, and squeezed out the transparent and fragrant oil in the petals. Daily facial application, over time can make the old and decrepit regain ten years of youthful appearance, if the young woman wipes, the complexion is fair, translucent and delicate than before.

However, this kind of oil is very rare, and all the flowers of a whole flower tree can only make as many jade bottles the size of pigeon eggs.

When she said this, she was a little mysterious when she was a child, but all the people here were women, who didn't love beauty, and they were all convinced and yearned for when they heard the words.

Diancui also nodded slightly, and heard the late master Guo Lao say that there is a kind of facial fat made of flowers and trees at the other end of the sea that has the miraculous effect of beauty and skin care, and I think it is this lotus magnolia.

Everyone was amazed, and looked at several rare flowers and plants one after another, Mrs. Yuan Fu wanted to leave some cui for dinner, but was rejected by Diancui, and no one forced to stay.

Yu Shuqing sent some emerald to the door.

"Diancui, good sister, don't be angry!"

"I'm three years younger than you, and I'm not ashamed to call me sister." Dian Cui said angrily.

"Oh, as long as you're not angry with me, you're my own sister who is three years younger than me." Yu Shuqing didn't learn well with her "straw bag" father-in-law, but learned some nonsense and hippie smiles.

"I was killed by you, this time today, you should have sent someone to inform me as soon as possible, look at my body, where can I see people?" Diancui only said that he was chatting with her again, wearing that casual and comfortable half-used clothes, who expected to come only to know that people had already set a "trap", a group of flower-like ladies and aunts wore solemn makeup and rigorous, on the other hand, they came with a loose bun, and Diancui was naturally unhappy.

"Oh, it turns out that it's because of this, my good point cui is now the prefect's wife, even if you wear patches and patches, you are much more noble than them, the more grand they dress, the more they lack confidence, and besides, your natural beauty is difficult to give up, and you look good in a bun!"

Yu Shuqing's mouth was sassy, but Diancui thought of those cool Beijing women, and smiled, Look at you like this, I know how clever the husband you married is.

was counted down by Diancui, Yu Shuqing only had a bitter face and didn't dare to refute, looking at her petty and ingenious appearance, Diancui no longer cared about her.

Enjoying the flowers and enjoying the sun's westward setting, and talking to Yu Shuqing for a while, Qiu Yue urged Diancui to go home early.

The journey from Yuan's house back to the government was not short, and the sedan chair man who carried the sedan chair walked halfway to the road, but for some reason, he still broke his foot, Qiuyue was very anxious, but he couldn't find anyone to replace him for a while. Diancui had to get out of the sedan chair and walk back.

"I knew I should have brought the rose with me," Qiu Yue was annoyed and anxious, she had only walked half way, this place was all small alleys, and she would be confused when she walked.

"Don't be annoyed, let's go forward for a while, except for these winding alleys, and when we get to the street, we'll look for the carriage." Diancui said and led Qiuyue and Xin'er down the alley.

This small alley is very quiet, and along the way, I only met a few men with scars on their faces, and Qiuyue and Xin'er squeezed a little green left and right and walked forward.

Those people didn't have the idea of arousing the Dian Cui, but they seemed to have turned in the opposite direction and came back, and the hands of the three masters and servants suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

"This alley is too narrow, it's really hard for the three of us to walk like this, you better go ahead of me." Diancui said softly.

When the two maids heard this, they let go of the hand that was holding Diancui, and spontaneously protected her in the middle.

The footsteps of those men were very light, following them, unhurried, whether they walked fast or slowly, it was a distance of more than a zhang, which made Xin'er at the end of the scalp tingle.

Xin'er walked against the wall and silently touched a firewood stick on the ground. Qiu Yue also touched a silver osmanthus long-legged hairpin from her head......

The alley was flanked by high walls, and the ground was covered with long and short stone slabs. In it, I couldn't see the distance, I could only see a gloomy and foggy sky overhead, and I could hear the footsteps and echo inside, very depressed and nervous......

The three masters and servants walked forward, and Qiu Yue pushed Diancui from behind to the front.

Seeing that it was a corner, the three of them secretly glanced at each other, and quickly flashed to the other side of the corner.

Then before Diancui could react, Xin'er grabbed her hand and ran forward desperately, Qiu Yue gritted her teeth and clenched the silver-footed hairpin in her hand, and stood still with her body against the wall.

Until the footsteps were close again, Qiu Yue jumped out with a "poof", raised the hairpin in his hand and stabbed desperately at the comer.

Before the hand reached the man, it was grasped, and the hairpin fell to the ground with a "snap".

The only thing to defend herself was knocked out like this, Qiu Yue's heart was cold, and she remembered that the lady over there should not have run far at this time. Today, I gave up this life in exchange for my wife's thoughtfulness, which is worth it.

Thinking like this, Qiu Yue simply let go, and pounced on the man lifelessly, tearing and biting, and was impatiently waved by the man and fell to the ground, and Qiu Yue spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Stop ......"

Before the man could say anything, Qiu Yue struggled from the ground and grabbed his leg and bit it hard.

The person "snorted" and went to pull Qiu Yue, but this time Qiu Yue was desperate, and let him tear off his arm, and he didn't let go.

"Tell me what to say! Oh! Relent! The man said hatefully, "Look up at me, are you the ones who are following you?" Is your mother-in-law a dog or a king! ”

The flesh on his thighs seemed to be bitten off by the woman, and the man screamed in pain.

"Those men are all Scarfaces, hired to harm your wife...... Oh! It hurts so much! The man scolded: "If you don't let go of your mouth, Lao Tzu will really knock out all your teeth with you, do you believe it or not?" ”

“……”

"I beg you, you can let go, my aunt, I was sent to secretly protect your wife, those scarfaces have been knocked unconscious by me, and they are thrown there, if you don't tie them up quickly, you can let them run away......"

Qiu Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the man breathed a sigh of relief, looked down at his thighs, and his anger rose again.

It's bloody, it must have been bitten off the flesh!

"What the hell am I ......" The man pointed his iron fist at Qiu Yue, eager to hammer her flat.

"Autumn Moon, Autumn Moon!" Dian Cui went and returned, followed by Xin'er with a solemn face, and when he saw the blood on Qiu Yue's neck and chin, Dian Cui only felt that the seven knots were missing five knots.

Stumbled over and hugged Qiuyue tightly, Xin'er's face was full of tears, looking at the man with an evil face holding an iron fist, he rounded the firewood stick in his hand and went desperately with the man.

Qiu Yue has been a maid since she screamed, and she has been in the deep house for twenty years, and her strength is smaller after all, but this letter is a fisherman who grew up on the river, if she wants to work hard, ordinary men really can't take her.

The man was shocked by her lifeless style of play and retreated, and when Qiuyue came to her senses, she saw that her wife had come back to look for herself, and she cried loudly.

"Hey, hey, don't cry, explain to your wife, and this desperate girl, please stay quickly, I'm not a bad person, I'm ordered to protect your wife, ah!"

Out of the alley, in a medical hall around the corner.

"Hey, hey, you tap, tap! Pain! Oh!! The doctor treated the wound on the man's thigh, and the man howled and screamed.

"This strong man, I just heard that you were once a warrior and had made military exploits, how could you ...... It's just a small wound. Dian Cui asked.

The man wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said angrily: "This lady, the warrior is also a human!" It's a person who is not afraid of pain. ”

The three of them are really helpless, obviously one looks smaller than the other, how can they be so violent. Can't a soldier wail a few times when he is injured, although his wail is louder, but after all, he has not been a soldier for many years.

"Look, your big maid bit me, where is this little wound? The flesh and skin were turned out, and she almost had to bite off the whole piece of meat! A whole piece of man/meat! The man pointed to the bloody piece of the bitten outer thigh, and only felt resentful.

Qiu Yue had regained her solemn appearance at this time, but the blood on her chin and neck was slimy, and there was a smell of blood, uncomfortable and unpleasant, so she wiped it with the sweat towel in her hand and wiped it with an expressionless face.

Like an expressionless cold warrior, the man couldn't help but look at her, and couldn't help but admire.

"But my maid said, it was you, the strong man, who vomited her blood first, and the woman's blood was originally expensive, and this spit out blood was to spend a lot of money to buy decoction and supplements to make up for it." Diancui looked at the man's appearance, as if he wanted to blackmail himself, and hurriedly said. Now that the scarfaces were gone, it was uncertain whether or not this man had been sent to protect him, and who had sent him.

After listening to the dignified prefect's wife's gentle words, the man's eyes widened and he was stunned, and his face was as if he had eaten a hundred mountain peppercorns, and he was bitter and bitter, and he couldn't say a word.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a neutral figure came into the inner room of the medical hall, politely promised to Dian Cui, looked at the man with an embarrassed and bitter face, couldn't help but chuckle, and said to Dian Cui:

"I am Zhao Quai, the governor of the Jiangnan River, under Lord Qin, who sent me to take care of the affairs of Hangzhou and protect the comfort of his wife at the request of Lord Yuan. However, Lord Yuan is talented, I have been here to check around these days, and everything is the same as before, and it seems that I don't need to do anything. Now Mrs.'s comfort is more important, this Xue Dachuan is strong in martial arts, and this time it is thanks to his alertness that he found out that someone had bad intentions. In the future, Mrs. might as well take him with her, especially those who have not yet been brought to justice, so you should be more careful. ”

Yuan Zhiheng dismissed several important officials as soon as he came to Hangzhou Mansion, and now this yamen is in good order and has not been messed up because of the departure of the prefect, it seems that he has made the right move, Zhao Qubing knows that his adult has high hopes for this young Yuan Lord.

It turned out that the official that the minister said was this Lord Zhao, and it seemed that people had come to Hangzhou a long time ago, but they had not shown up for a long time. And the people are still governors!

The governor is a local magistrate of Zhengsanpin, two official titles older than Yuan Zhiheng's prefect, and now he is sent by Uncle Qin to protect himself, Dian Cui only feels ashamed.
