Rumeng was stunned, although she was not a mountain bandit, but she did not return overnight. This matter is spread in a good way, even if the Hou Mansion comes forward to clarify, it will also involve the events of that day, this is really a dumb trick to eat coptis, a good move. It must have been from the hand of the lady.

"You name one, but is there something else?"

"Fourth Miss, why aren't you in a hurry about such an important matter? These people should be arrested and sent to the government, they will ruin the reputation of the young lady. ”

"Oh, Xinyu knows who these words are coming from, arrest them, what is the good sentence?"

"Slaves don't know this, can they be allowed to spread rumors and make trouble?"

"How can the aunts be so idle every day, they have to work to take care of the children. Don't worry, they forgot about it in a few days. Besides, it's too early for me to talk about marriage. ”

Rumeng is wishing that he would not marry, but I am afraid that the Hou Mansion will not be happy. Presumably, there will be someone more urgent about this matter than her. Why bother?

"Xinyu, what's the second thing? If you don't say it, Miss, I'm going to wash it. ”

"Oh, the slave maid sent cakes to the fourth aunt, I heard that the fourth aunt is pregnant, because the fetus is not stable, the old lady and the second lady still don't know, only the second master knows."

"What? Is my aunt pregnant? ”

Jumped up like a dream. Xinyu looked at the fourth lady, she really couldn't see through it, her reputation was not guaranteed, and she didn't panic at all. When I heard that my aunt was pregnant, I was pleasantly surprised. I don't know how Sister Ping'er serves on weekdays.

"Back to the fourth miss, my aunt cried and fainted that day and returned to the yard from the upper room, and the second master invited a doctor, and I knew it that day."

Because Xinyu was only doing some chores in the courtyard of Rumeng before, and he didn't know about the events of Rumeng's day, and the old lady deliberately concealed it, there were not many people in the Hou Mansion who knew about it.

"How is that aunt now?"

"Well, okay, the second master has set aside a yard for his aunt to raise the baby. There are enough people to serve, and my aunt has gained weight in a few days. ”

"Okay, come with me to my aunt's yard tomorrow to have a look, she must be very bored."

Rumeng only felt that today was really an auspicious day, first found Ping'er, and now she was even more surprised to hear that her aunt was pregnant. If you can not get married, it is not impossible to help your aunt raise her brother at home.

I fell asleep like a dream. The Lord of the West Courtyard is not so pleasant here.

"You have a cold face when you return home today, what happened?"

After falling asleep, the eldest man couldn't fall asleep over and over, and the eldest lady knew that he had something in his heart.

"Well, do you know what's going on in the streets and alleys right now?"

"What is this saying, master, I am busy with my daughter's marriage every day, how can I know the rumors in the market, don't be official, let's talk about it quickly."

"It is said that the four girls of our Hou Mansion entered the mountain bandits' nest and lost their innocence."

"Ah, how so? We have hidden the events of that day, and outsiders do not know about them. ”

"Madame forgot, the Bi family is also an outsider!"

"And what's in it for her grandchildren?"

"I guess I was instigated by someone. I don't care about that. ”

"Then why is this sigh of the master?"

"These four girls, I am thinking of marrying the prince. Mother originally disagreed with the Fang family. Recently, I looked for the Taifu again, saying that there was a candidate, but the four girls are still young and are not in a hurry, so they can think about it in the long run. ”

"With these rumors, the master's plan must be blocked."

"Exactly, there are so many families in this Jingshi, and rumors are spreading, and every family will know about it, I'm afraid that this family will die. It's a step that hurts me. This Fang family must have nothing to do with the rumors. ”

"How's that for good? Aren't the four girls going to be wrong for life? ”

"If we raise it by mistake, the Hou Mansion is not short of her rations. I just feel sorry for the chess I've been playing for so long. ”

In the dead of night, the conversation in the big room was just a pillow of sorrow. It will not be known to others. The eldest master sees Rumeng as a chess piece, but Rumeng knows that even if he can't change it, he has to take every step by himself. And the step she quietly took was gradually looming.

"Fourth Miss is here. The prince said that in the future, the fourth lady can come and enter directly, and there is no need to report. Please. ”

Since the last time I saw Ping'er, Rumeng would come to the palace every five days. On this day, she also brought a jade bracelet that Ping'er loved very much.

"Ping'er, look, you don't have to wait for me now, can I bring you this pair of bracelets?"

As in a dream, Ping'er nodded, warmed the bracelet with her hand, and gently put it on her hand. After putting it on, Ping'er looked at it for a long time, and I guess I love it on weekdays.

"Miss, drink."

After entering the house, Ping'er poured her a cup of tea, and Rumeng was busy talking to her all the time, and she didn't care about drinking. Seeing that the tea was cold, Ping'er anxiously pushed the cup in front of her eyes.

"Ping'er can already pour tea, don't worry, you will be able to recover slowly, when you are well, I will take you home." But you have to promise me that you will take good care of your illness now, and take the medicine of the imperial doctor on time. ”

"Hmm."

"Okay, I can't sit for a long time when I come out, I'm going back today, next time I'll bring some Fangzhai cakes to Ping'er."

Rumeng said goodbye to Ping'er and prepared to go home. Xinyu was still waiting in the carriage in the alley, this child must be single-mindedly questioning, thinking that she wanted to talk about it must be funny.

"Be careful."

Rumeng lost her mind, and when she came back to her senses, she was stopped by someone. When I looked back, I saw that it was a plum tree, and its branches spread and stretched, and if I had continued to move forward just now, I would have shaved my hair in a bun at this time.

A smell of ambergris was in the nose, and the two looked at each other after looking up, and when they looked at Song Wei so closely, they found that although he was two years younger than him, his eyebrows and eyes had already grown, the edges and corners of his face had begun to appear, and his lips were thin and crimson. His eyes, in particular, were like stars, shining brightly.

It's as if I've seen it somewhere.

Xu was aware of his gaffe, and quickly took three steps back like a dream, but in a panic, he ripped off his waist. The two were stunned for a moment, then smiled at each other.

"Why does the fourth lady's family love this jade pendant so much."

Song Weishi broke the silence first and stepped forward to pick up the jade pendant.

"The knot of this jade pendant has opened, so I think there must be a new pair."

Rumeng looked at the jade pendant in Song Weishi's hand.

"The fourth lady ripped off a certain jade pendant, she won't be irresponsible."

"There must be an embroiderer in your house, and you can get a new one in a while."

"Since it doesn't take much effort, the fourth lady will bear it herself."

As he spoke, he stuffed the jade pendant into Rumeng's hand.

"Let's go, I'll send you out of the house. The carriage is parked in the back alley? ”

Although he was asking, Song Weishi's footsteps did not stop for a moment. This person really asked knowingly. If you have a hot potato in your hand, is it better to put it in your arms or hold it in your hand? After hesitation, he casually stuffed it into the lucky bag.

Song Weishi walked in front, but he could also catch a glimpse of her small movements, and the look of having nowhere to place and not being able to refuse made him very happy.

sent Rumeng to the back door of the palace, and it was inconvenient for Song Wei to go out of the house. I don't know where to call a man in black and send a carriage to Rumeng.

Aoki didn't know when he started to do his part as a little Duzi, lamenting that the prince was old and no longer needed him.

The carriage staggered back to the Pingyang Hou Mansion, and then there was more than a month before the New Year, and the Hou Mansion hung up the lantern today, which added a little warmth to this winter day.

"Fourth Miss, there is a carriage parked in front of the Hou Mansion."

"Xu came to give a gift to the uncle on New Year's Day. Let's go around and walk through the east gate. ”

Not far from the east gate is the aunt's small courtyard, if you dream of nothing, it is better to talk to the aunt.

"It's such a cold day, Meng'er shouldn't always run to my aunt's place."

"It's okay, Meng'er is idle and has nothing to do, let's see what my aunt needs here."

"Don't worry about me, your father sent things over every three or two days, and my aunt didn't lack anything."

"Oh, my father told my mother about you?"

"The second lady knows, and she is angry with your father, no, I rested at the third aunt's place last night."

"It's okay, auntie, don't worry, just raise the baby with peace of mind, and when the old lady knows, she will definitely appease her mother." But auntie, you've gained weight a little bit lately? ”

"I have been making up for it all day, and I can't go out in the cold, so I'm fat."

The fourth aunt touched her face embarrassedly, as if she was worried about something, and frowned.

"Meng'er has something on your mind?"

"Auntie, do you remember the second aunt?"

"How did this so much mention her?"

In addition to the original match, Liu Chang has three aunts. Because they all call the Qi family the second lady, the first aunt is called the second aunt, followed by the third aunt and the fourth aunt.

This second aunt was originally the second master's Qingmei, and her father was a scholar of the old Pingyang Hou, and later became a housekeeper. Because of his identity, he couldn't make a big house, so he was included in the backyard after the Qi family entered.

After Qi gave birth to her eldest daughter, Ruyan, the second aunt became pregnant at the same time as her second child. is young, inexperienced, and the second master is very fond of her, and everything good is close to her. I was only six months pregnant, and I was fat enough.

On the day of delivery, because the fetus was generally weak, it was tossed for a day, the child suffocated and did not say anything, and the adult did not save it.

"My aunt was also in a panic, and she lost her backbone. Meng'er, what about my aunt? ”

"This? Auntie, Meng'er hasn't come out of the pavilion yet, and I don't understand this pregnancy. I just suddenly remembered that Aunt Liu said in the small kitchen that on the day the second aunt died, the bloody smell filled the yard and did not disperse for two days. ”

"Cui'e, early tomorrow morning, you go to the security hall on Zhengyang Street to ask for a doctor."

I suddenly remembered something, and called my mother's maid.

"Meng'er, the imperial doctor has seen it, there is no problem, and the doctor is still asked to do anything, and my aunt doesn't need to see it. lest thy father know and be suspicious. ”

"Auntie, do you know that this security hall, in addition to protecting the fetus, you can also prescribe a fetal recipe according to the woman's physique. Tomorrow, let them customize a set of recipes for their mothers, and we don't have to spend so much time on supplements, and we don't have to follow the rules. ”

"Okay, then I'll ask Cui'e to go for a trip tomorrow."

Rumeng chatted with the fourth aunt for a while, and watched the aunt fall asleep, so she went back to her yard, and asked Cui'e when she left, and tomorrow's doctor opened a recipe and sent her a copy to her yard, and she looked at it carefully.

After returning to the boudoir, Xinyu carefully closed the door and whispered to Rumeng.

"Fourth Miss, the slave maid has inquired about who the carriage at the door is."
