Hong Xin'er followed the palace maid to Qiwu Palace, and she was not hindered because of the waist card protection along the way. Although the inner eunuchs and palace maids who passed by did not look at Xin'er, Xin'er was not Mu Hanqing, she had been rolling in the market since she was a child, and she was used to seeing other people's strange eyes. Now she is soaking wet, and there are a lot of mud spots, her hair is stuck to her scalp with locks, and the hairpins that bind her hair have fallen off, which is really incompatible with the atmosphere in the palace. Therefore, Xin'er did not feel embarrassed, and entered the palace gate of the fifth princess generously.

"The landlord, I'm sorry for you to wait here, I'll go in and inform the fifth princess."

"Linglong is waiting here, sister, let's go."

The palace maid smiled lightly, turned her head and went to inform the fifth princess. The princess welcomed Hong Xin'er into the dormitory, and also helped Xin'er take a clean Luo skirt and prepare ginger tea. Xin'er is very grateful, no problem.

When Xin'er settled down, the fifth princess gave her a seat, and then spoke first: "You don't have to pay me back this Luo skirt, just give it to you." I have come to the landlord today because I want to discuss something with you. ”

Xin'er's eyes rolled, and she put down the porcelain bowl containing ginger tea: "I don't know what Her Royal Highness the princess commands?" Linglong will do his best to repay you for your gift of clothes and tea today. ”

"Master Tu, if you can say that, I'm relieved. It's not that hard. The five princesses smiled, raised their hands into the air, and patted each other twice: "Come out, speak lightly." ”

Wei Qingyan lifted the curtain from the side hall and stood there silently, holding a flat plate in his hand, with a silver wine jug and three small wine cups on it. She stood where she was, but she refused to come.

Seeing Wei Qingyan like this, the fifth princess walked over with a smile and pulled her to the red sandalwood table. Seeing this, Xin'er hurriedly stood up and saw how Wei Qingyan was going to move.

"Whispering, how did you promise me?" The fifth princess stood still and looked at Wei Qingyan with a smile.

Wei Qingyan's little face turned red, and he didn't speak. I saw her put the flat plate on the table, picked up the silver wine jug, poured a small glass of sweet wine, and held it in front of Hong Xin'er with both hands: "Master of the soil, thank you for saving your life today." ”

In front of the five princesses, although Xin'er was suspicious, she had to take it. She took the cup in her hand and didn't dare to drink it.

"Are you afraid that I will poison you? Dirt girl? Wei Qingyan asked directly, and before Xin'er could react, she saw Wei Qingyan snatch the wine cup in her hand, raised her neck, and drank it all: "You're not afraid now, right?" I'm here to thank you from the bottom of my heart. ”

Xin'er didn't expect that the brutal and willful Wei Qingyan had such a hearty side. How could she refuse? At that moment, Xin'er poured two glasses of wine and handed Wei Qingyan a glass: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it." If Miss Wei doesn't dislike it, can you and I drink this cup together? ”

"Hmm." Wei smiled lightly and took the wine cup, touched a glass with Xin'er, the two drank the wine, looked at each other a few times, and laughed unconsciously.

"Okay, then I'll be the master, and from today on, the misunderstanding between the landlord and the light words will be written off. You two will be sisters from now on. The fifth princess was very satisfied with the result of her mediation.

Wei Qingyan grabbed the fifth princess and handed her another wine cup: "Why is the princess sister going to stay away, I can't wait?" ”

The fifth princess couldn't bear Wei to make trouble with her lightly, so she quickly answered: "Don't stay away, don't stay away." In the future, the landlord will also be my sister, like you, okay? ”

The three of them made peace with each other, ate a few glasses of wine in one place, and said a lot of heartfelt words. Xin'er also told the two of them interesting stories about their garden. The fifth princess has been in the palace for a long time, she has never felt so happy, and she likes Xin'er more and more, she sent someone to Lord Wei to give Xin'er leave, and she has to pull Xin'er to sit more. It wasn't until the palace gate was about to be locked that the fifth princess let Hong Xin'er and Wei Qingyan go.

By the time she left, Wei Qingyan was already slightly drunk, and Lord Wei pulled her into the car, but Wei Qingyan was still unwilling to let go of Hong Xin'er's hand: "Tu girl, you are so interesting!" Tomorrow, wait for me tomorrow, I'll come to you! ”

Xin'er was so good at talking that she finally coaxed Wei Qingyan to let go. Lord Wei pulled people away, and Xin'er went back to Tujia. This sweet wine is not too strong, but it has some sleep-aiding effect, and when she wakes up, Xin'er realizes that her brain is clearer. Thinking back to yesterday's events, she shook her head with a smile and went on an errand again.

I thought that Wei Qingyan yesterday was just a joke, but I didn't expect that after noon, she really came to the Imperial Garden. It's just that this time, the daughter of the Wei family no longer revolves around Mu Hanqing, but comes to Hong Xin'er by name.

When Wei Qingyan pulled Hong Xin'er past the crowd, several bold craftsmen also discussed a few words: "How did Wei Daqianjin change her sex today?" Hasn't she always looked at our landlord unpleasantly? ”

"Who knows? A woman's heart, a needle under the sea. Suddenly, he didn't bother with the wood master, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd. ”

"You say, is it true that the wood master is really interesting to the soil master, this Wei family's eldest lady only retreated, and changed her way to be close to the soil master, and in the future, the two daughters will serve the same husband and cultivate some sisterhood in advance?"

……

"Ahem..."Mu Hanqing really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he had to stop the discussion, so as not to make people talk too much, and if the arranged words were spread, they didn't have to become what they would become. He snapped, "Why are you all idle?" Are the panes of the main hall painted? Have all the grass ditches I painted filled? Why don't you move the bamboo to the rockery? ”

Mu Hanqing had never been angry, and when the craftsmen saw him like this, they also felt that something was going to happen to their mouths, so they shut up one after another.

Wu Mingzhe also started a round: "A few of you go to the main hall with me, hurry up, and be careful about the construction period." ”

The crowd dispersed, and Xin'er followed Wei Qingyan into the back hall.

As soon as the two sat down, Wei Qingyan opened his mouth: "Tu girl, let me ask you, do you like Brother Mu or not?" ”

Hong Xin'er had already learned the eldest lady's open-mouthed words yesterday, but it was too bold for a woman to ask a suspected rival in love so directly. Xin'er bowed her head and didn't answer, but when she thought of the scene when Mu Hanqing saved her life at the bottom of the rockery that day, her face quietly turned red.

"Okay, you're thin-skinned, don't say anything. Faces are red, I understand. ”

Xin'er wanted to deny it, but as soon as her mouth opened, Wei Qingyan said: "Don't worry, I won't fight with you for Brother Mu in the future, Miss Ben gave him to you, don't thank me!" ”

Xin'er's open mouth was not closed by Wei Qingyan for a long time.

"Why are you staying? Let's go. You're not in a hurry to go on a business, are you? I see that your rockery is still a lot worse. Wei Qingyan really treats Xin'er as a sister, and she has learned to think about her. Xin'er got the order and quickly withdrew without saying a word.

Hong Xin'er asked herself to see that Mu Hanqing was different from before, but whether it was the "like" in Wei Qingyan's mouth or not didn't matter to her. Mu Hanqing's family is inseparable from the cause of her master's death, even if she really has a love for him, she has to suppress it quickly, she came to the palace to impostor, if she has a relationship with the enemy again, it will be a catastrophe.

After Hong Xin'er left, Wei Qingyan asked Xiaotong to call Mingzhe to the back hall.

"Miss Wei is looking for her, what's the matter?"

Wei Qingyan sat on the chair and drank a sip of water, "The head of the house, sit down." There's something I want to tell you. ”

Wu Mingzhe sat down with a smile, and pushed the plate of fruit on the table to Wei Qingyan: "Miss Wei, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Don't have any other plans for the landlord, she has Brother Mu in her heart. Brother Mu also has her in his heart. If you try to please her, you will only add to her troubles. ”

Wu Mingzhe was really anxious this time, and he didn't care about his status, so he immediately took the case: "Miss Wei, you are too deceitful, how can you teach me to be a hero and save the beauty, and it is you who don't let me please the landlord anymore?" What the hell are you thinking? ”

"I don't have a lot of thoughts." Wei raised his head lightly and cocked. lifted her small chin: "It's just to worry about my sister's land." ”

"You, you..." Wu Mingzhe pointed at Wei Qingyan, he was speechless, he remembered that his father criticized him in the house every day to please him, he was so angry that he threw his sleeves, snorted coldly, and left without saying goodbye.

Wu Mingzhe was depressed, so he had to find Mu Hanqing, and the two hid in a corner of the rockery. Wu Mingzhe asked straight to the point: "Brother Mu, you tell the truth, what do you mean to the landlord?" ”

"How many times do I have to say it to you?" Mu Hanqing was a little impatient by him: "I said that I have nothing else to do with her, you have to please her, and I have also helped you with all your ideas." You have not mentioned it lately, and I thought you had won her a good please, so I stopped asking. What are your plans to arrange for me and the landlord now? Call me Brother Mu every day, where does this treat me as a brother? ”

Ya Mingzhe really regarded Mu Hanqing as a brother, but now that his brother was annoyed with him, his eyelashes were so angry that he trembled, and Ya Mingzhe knew that he was abrupt again. He stretched out his hand and put his arm around Mu Hanqing's shoulder, coaxing people: "Brother Mu, I was abrupt, I will make amends to you, don't blame me anymore, okay?" ”

"Master Mu, master of the house, you are here." Hong Xin'er, who came to look for someone, happened to see Wu Mingzhe and Mu Hanqing hooking their shoulders.

Wu Mingzhe didn't mean to take his hand down at all: "What is the matter with the two of us?" ”

"Broken..."Hong Xin'er wanted to scold, "Broken. sleeve", fortunately, her brain was still spinning quickly: "I can't delay the hour here, Lord Wei is anxious to wait for me to go to the corner hall to see me." ”

On the way to the corner hall, Hong Xin'er walked behind the two, her mind was buzzing, and she scolded herself thousands of times: I am a dignified little overlord in Dongshi, how can I see a break. Sleeve? It's also tangled, I'm sorry.

When he arrived at the corner hall, Lord Wei said bluntly about the errand: "The three principals, the glazed tiles used by us to repair the Fucui Pavilion need to be specially made, and several of them must know about it." But for some reason, the owner always came to report that he couldn't hang the color, and he didn't send the tile for a long time. The three of you have arranged the work of the craftsmen today, can you go to the glass kiln to see the situation together? ”

This was the business of the three of them, and they received their orders. Mu Hanqing turned back to the garden and arranged for the craftsmen, the two had already gotten into the carriage, and they could go together as long as Mu Hanqing came back.

In the car, Hong Xin'er remembered that Wu Mingzhe was decided. sleeves, so he deliberately sat away from him.

I didn't want to take the initiative to lean over: "Master Tu, why do you want to sit so far?" Wouldn't it be nice to talk to me and Master Mu together? ”

Xin'er smiled and didn't answer, but just moved her body to the side for another two points.

Seeing that she wanted to stay away from him like this, Wu Mingzhe took the initiative to move closer: "The landlord is tired of it?" ”

"Nope." Hong Xin'er had no choice but to stop moving: "How can I be bored with the head of the house? You have protected me many times, and I have taken it to heart. ”

"That..."When Wu Mingzhe heard this, his eyes lit up: "Then you don't like Brother Mu?" ”

"Hmm." Xin'er thought to herself: How could I fall in love with that break. Sleeve? What a sin.

Mu Hanqing has finished his work and got into the carriage. Wu Mingzhe finally shut up this time, lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking.

After a short time, I arrived at the glazed kiln. The owner went out on business, and took most of the craftsmen with him. The progress of firing tiles in several tile kilns was also very different, and only two or three glazers remained to guard the door. As soon as Mu Hanqing and the others discussed, they planned to go to the kiln to have a look, and they knew what the reason for the total output of this glazed tile was not available.

Mu Hanqing and Hong Xin'er each went in different directions. Wu Mingzhe didn't move, he stepped on his feet and looked down, and there was still smoke in one of the kilns. He walked into the kiln, covered his nose and touched a piece of glazed tiles, the emerald green glaze had not yet dried, and it was the most poisonous time.

Wu Mingzhe had an idea: Why not use this kiln to save the beauty again? So, Wu Mingzhe picked up some firewood in front of other kilns, deliberately lit the kiln fire again, and then extinguished it, making it look like smoke. I found bricks out of nowhere, pulled a few strips of white cloth from my middle clothes, and stuffed them into my sleeves.

After arranging these, Wu Mingzhe came to find Hong Xin'er: "The soil master, there seem to be green glazed tiles in the smoking kiln. You see that the kiln seems to be smoking, but don't smoke the tiles out of pockmarks, the soil owner will go with me to see? ”

"Let's go."

When he arrived at the kiln, Wu Mingzhe said: "The master of the soil, you see that the fire in this kiln has been extinguished, and there is still smoke everywhere." Let's go in and check it out. ”

"Very good."

At some point, the closed wooden door was opened. Wu Mingzhe couldn't care about so much, he pointed to the door with his finger: "The landlord, please first." ”

Hong Xin'er was not prepared at all, and walked in a few steps. There was smoke everywhere inside, and Xin'er was choked and couldn't see the surroundings clearly, so she planned to quit first.

It was easy to touch the wooden door, and when Xin'er wanted to open the door, she found that she couldn't push it. Wu Mingzhe dropped the latch outside the wooden door, put bricks on the bottom, and blocked the crack of the door with a strip of cloth, Rao couldn't block all the smoke, and the smoke in the kiln was getting thicker and thicker.

"The owner of the house, the owner of the house, open the door, open the door... Ahem, ahem... cough cough cough..."Xin'er's action of knocking on the door was weak, she only felt that her eyes were blurred, her legs were fluttering, and the whole person fell down. Seeing that her breathing was getting weaker and weaker, her eyes were blurred, and she was about to faint, Xin'er instinctively stretched out a hand and struggled to grab something. But I don't want to, it's another person who grabs it.

"Is that you?"
