Taifu's mansion is already full of flowers, and there are many guests. This time, I heard that the prince would come to congratulate him on his birthday, and there was an endless stream of people who came to congratulate him. And Mrs. Tian was even more red and overjoyed.

In the Pingyang Hou family, the old lady took the two main ladies of the big house and the second room, and their eldest daughter and concubine in two carriages. The old masters and young masters rode to the Taifu Mansion.

When I walked to Zhengyang Street, I suddenly heard that the carriage was unusually noisy, and the vehicle I was sitting in also stopped.

"Mother, sister, don't panic, there are a few Shijin people in front of me who are arguing with the hawkers, I heard that someone was injured, the government has come to deal with it, and you can move forward in a moment."

"My son, go and see if my grandmother and aunt are okay."

"Mother rest assured, the eldest brother has passed"

"Okay, I'll be careful."

Listening to the conversation between the second lady and the eldest brother, Rumeng guessed the approximately.

In the previous life, due to the instigation of the traitorous party in the DPRK and China, my country and Shijin Kingdom went to attack the Beihu tribe together. After the victory, Shijin Guo asked for tribute, and since then, the harsh taxes have increased, and the people have complained. There were also several civil uprisings. Fang Yujiang fought wars in various places and suppressed rebellions in those years.

And things changed after the crown prince Song Heng ascended the throne. The crown prince's head Nashi Jin Guo opened the knife and wanted to sit firmly on the dragon chair. First, he sent envoys to Shijin to negotiate, but Shijin bit me and won the country and did not let go, Song Heng had no choice but to recuperate within a year, and sent soldiers to Jinguo in the second year......

The carriage swayed and came to the Taifu Mansion, and no one cared about an episode on the road, but Rumeng knew that the entry of the Shijin people was already the sound of the battle, and I don't know how many people would die on the battlefield, and how many people of the Beihu tribe had lost their homes. And these are all things that she, a boudoir woman, can't change.

The group was led by the eldest daughter-in-law of the Tian family and came to the garden in the backyard, only to see that it was full of female dependents, and Mrs. Tian was surrounded by a group of people eating tea in the pavilion. Seeing Liu Zhu from afar, he happily stood up and greeted him

"My old sister, you're too late to come, call me this old birthday star to wait"

"Today you are the master of this peach feast, don't you want me to steal the limelight from you"

As she spoke, her grandmother was pulled into the pavilion by Mrs. Tian and sat down. Rumeng and others stood outside the court with their aunt and mother.

"On weekdays, you and I are both busy with the affairs of the house, and we can't touch a place all year round, don't I hope you will come and chat with me earlier?"

"It's you who are busy with the affairs of the house, but you're not me, our lord left the west early, and I also handed over the house to my two daughters-in-law to take care of things, and I don't know how idle I am every day."

Grandmother took Mrs. Tian's hand and said. I heard that the two were friends with the wife of the national teacher when they were young, and they were very close. After they got married, they would meet every birthday, and their feelings were undiminished.

"The Zhu clan and the Qi clan are also here with you? Bring the kids to me, I'll take a look."

When the eldest aunt and mother heard this, they walked into the pavilion and asked Mrs. Tian for peace. If you dream that Rutong and Ruzhu also follow suit, and follow behind, her position is inconspicuous, and she is not rude.

"Niece, please be safe to the old lady, I wish the old lady a long and healthy life"

Because the eldest aunt is the grandmother's distant niece, she can also be called Mrs. Tian's aunt.

"Okay, good boy, that's your daughter, her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to when you were young, only a little more smart and playful"

"I've seen Mrs. Tian, granddaughter Rutong, I wish you a long life and Tianqi"

"Ha, it's better than the sky, then I'll become an old monster"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and the atmosphere in the pavilion was extremely happy because of Rutong. Ruzhu saw that she was not paying attention, and she was a little unhappy, and Qi didn't pay attention to it. Everyone ate and drank, and seeing that the juniors were bored, Mrs. Tian said:

"Our old man is here to talk about the past, you little girl go to the water pavilion to play, the old man's granddaughter takes the ladies to play dominoes there, let Qingping take you there"

The master did not arrange it well and refused, so Rumeng followed the cheerful Rutong and Ruzhu to the water pavilion with the maid.

Rutong and Ruzhu have similar personalities, and they will mingle with the ladies after a while.

Leaning on the railing of the bench like a dream, enjoying the scenery peacefully.

"Miss, why don't you wear that set of Suzhou and Hangzhou's silk dress, this set is still a little lighter"

"Today, the women of the entire family who have not yet come out of the palace in Beijing are here, look at their dress"

Ping'er looked back at the peacock-like ladies and giggled

"These women from the family are all rouge gouache and silk satin, and I am afraid that even the hair accessories will weigh a penny," Ping'er said with a smile.

"Yes, the flowers are charming, the grass nourishes the mind, I'm afraid those old ladies will also be tired, I'll be their antidote"

The master and servant here are comfortably tight, and there is a quarrel over there, maybe it is a young lady who loses the card and pulls the skin.

At this time, only a "plop" sound, there was a sound of falling water, and the ladies all retreated, seeing that the circle was showing a helpless bead, and shouted in a choked voice:

"I didn't push her"

Like a dream, why does this third sister like to push people so much. got up and pulled Ping'er and whispered:

"Ping'er quickly go and get me two big cloaks, the thicker the better."

Since Ping'er was punished, she knew how to observe words and feelings, so she didn't ask much, and turned her head to make arrangements.

Rumeng didn't say a word, took off the pearl hairpin on his head, stuffed it into the hands of Rutong who was stunned, and jumped into the pool.

Fortunately, the midsummer has not passed, and the pool water is not cold. Rumeng dragged her with her arms behind the struggling woman, the process was not easy, Rumeng had to adapt to the temperature of the water before she could stretch her hands and feet to swim, and the person who fell into the water would also struggle because of fear, and it took about a quarter of an hour to be safely dragged to the shore.

Because he drank water while struggling, the man leaned over and kept spitting and vomiting, and Rumeng also put on the cloak that Ping'er brought, which was as thick as a winter coat. Signaled Ping'er to put it on the person who fell into the water, after all, the silk clothes shrank and fit closely, which is very rude for girls.

"Fourth sister, are you okay?"

The second sister Rutong had already come back to her senses and leaned over to greet Rumeng who was sitting on the ground.

Rumeng secretly smiled and said: In the previous life, Mrs. Fang was born by the sea, she was good at swimming since she was a child, and she came to Beijing with the Fang Yu River, and she had nowhere to play, so she built a swimming pool at home, the water was clear and clean, and she also learned to swim when she came and went. I didn't expect to save people's lives in front of me, I think it was because God didn't want to humiliate her talent.

"It's okay, I'll rest for a while, I'm a little tired"

"I've already asked Peach to go to my mother, sister, don't worry"

At this time, Ruzhu also came to Rumeng with tears on her face

"Fourth sister, I really didn't push it, you have to believe me"

"Forget it, today is Mrs. Tian's birthday banquet, I'm afraid I won't be held accountable, don't cry first, but make people suspicious"

"Thank you, I did that to you, and you will help me out"

"You and I are in the same vein, and the quarrel on weekdays is considered a conflict in our house, but when we go out of the house, we must be of the same heart. Not to mention a human life, which cannot be ignored."

Wrap your cloak tightly in a dream, how can it get colder and colder, I'm afraid this water pavilion is too shady. Can't sit here anymore.

Here, the eldest aunt also brought Granny Yan and led Rumeng to the east wing of the backyard, which was originally a guest room, so that the guests could rest and change their clothes.

Granny Yan burned a hand warmer, and Ping'er took the bed quilt and wrapped it in Rumeng, and when the warmth hit, she was a little drowsy, and fell asleep in a dream.

In a trance, he seemed to see the apricot blossom tree bloom that year, and Fang Yujiang returned home in triumph and was rewarded by the emperor. This Wuwei general took out a beautiful girl with a beautiful face like a crown of jade among the guests, and her gestures were sassy and atmospheric.

"Mother, this is the deputy general of the children's army, named Liang Qiong, and she was able to return triumphantly this time, all thanks to her. The son wants to welcome her into our house, and promise to be a wife, and today I will take the testimony of everyone to give my mother a cup of tea."

Rumeng stood behind Mrs. Fang, hearing the words like a thunderbolt from the sky, her husband wanted to marry a wife, a partner who went to the killing field with him and was physically and mentally united. This Fang family and even Fang Yujiang may no longer have her place in their hearts.

Quietly paced out of the lobby, and when he arrived at the apricot grove, he could no longer suppress his crying. In fact, she didn't love Fang Yanjiang much, but the sense of emptiness that she couldn't grasp made her collapse more and more, the red-faced girl was imprinted in her heart, she was 25 years old, her face was haggard, and those folds were full of unwillingness.

"Madame is so loud, I'm afraid that others will think that she has insulted you, please shut up"

A man in green clothes was leaning on the branch, and he was turning his head to speak to her at this time, his face was angular, his eyes were like stars in the night, his lips were like thin wings, and his gestures were lazy.

Such a good color made Rumeng ashamed of himself, silently lowered his head, and tears fell silently into the soil, bit by bit, becoming the nutrients of this fertile soil.

"If Madam is really unwilling, she will fight, but you have to ask your heart, do you really want it?"

A pair of green cloud boots fell into front of him, and in the blink of an eye, he walked into the depths of the woods, leaving a white silk handkerchief in place.

Like a dream gradually opened his heavy eyes, his eyes were all unfamiliar furnishings, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, this is the guest room in the Taifu Mansion, sit up and find that he was alone, the dream just now was too real, and there were tears hanging in the corners of his eyes.

Changing into the clean clothes beside him, Rumeng stood up and stretched out his hands and feet, but it was a little stiff, and the day of activity would be fine.

There was a sound of scolding outside the window, Rumeng listened to it for a while, and saw that it did not stop, worried that Ping'er would be reckless and cause trouble, so he went out of the room to check.

Walking out of the stone gate of the courtyard of the guest room, I came to the south wing, which was the backmost row of houses in the Taifu Mansion, and the sound came from here.

"This master, the little slave really passed by and picked it up, he just wanted to find my young master to find the lost master, how dare the little slave steal in this Taifu Mansion, even ten heads are not enough to cut off."

"You little guy, my grandfather hasn't spoken yet, you don't have to quibble"

"The little slave is wronged, if you don't believe that the master will go with me to find my young master, you will know"

"Presumptuous, what is your identity, how can my grandfather be a casual guest, shut up, and wait for the master to fall"

Little Stone looked anxious and was about to cry when he saw it.

"This son, forgive the little girl for being presumptuous, I don't know if my little girl can be offended, and the little girl is willing to punish one or two for my brother"

In a dream, he saw the little stone kneeling on the garden floor, and in front of him sat a master and a servant, and the servant pointed his finger at the little stone's forehead, and saw that it was red and swollen. The master turned a deaf ear to what was in front of him and played with the jade fan in his hand.
