Hua Lan's disappearance, Mo Fei is not aware of it, but the people of the Qing Guimen know.

The Qinggui Gate lurks underground, and they are as ubiquitous as rats in the night.

However, when Hua Lan reappeared, she had already changed into women's clothes, which was something that the people in the Qingguimen did not expect, and fortunately, Mo Fei's eyes were bright.

Hua Lan ate the pastry, and Xiao Ju also returned.

The medicine was quickly fried and brought to Hua Lan.

Hua Lan let her put it on the table, took a spoon, scooped a spoonful, put it on the tip of her tongue and tasted it.

A few herbs were not mixed with any east, so I drank it with confidence.

This action seemed to be tasting the cold temperature of the decoction, and when it was placed under Xiaoju's eyes, she naturally understood that the deep meaning of Hua Lan's action was that she was suspicious.

Xiaoju has been out of the house for a long time, which shows that the place to catch the medicine is not in the house.

Hua Lan drank the hypoallergenic decoction, put down the spoon and got up and walked outside. Lazy and lazy asked Xiaoju: "Which shop grabbed this medicine?" ”

"Miss Hui, this is the medicine caught in Sishoutang on Taiwu Street."

Xiao Ju saw that Hua Lan was going out, so she hurriedly came over and lifted the curtain. She said very carefully: "Miss is still weak now, it is better to walk in the courtyard for a while, there are people watching Niangniang outside the door, and the slave is afraid that she will alarm Niangniang." ”

This is clearly implying that Hua Lan can't go out of the yard.

"Just walking around in this yard, always lying on the bed, the body is even softer."

Hua Lan smiled secretly, if she can have the first step, she is not afraid of the second step. If you can walk in the yard, you won't be far from the day of leaving the house.

She had already thought about it, this matter was not something that could be solved in a hurry, first touch the situation, and then step by step, and act at the opportunity.

Xiaoju didn't respond, she and Xiaohua each carried a glass palace lamp, illuminated the path of the road one after the other, accompanied Hua Lan around the courtyard, and then sat in a hexagonal pavilion on the side of the flower pond.

There is a desk in the small pavilion, Hua Lan sits down, and the pool opposite is a large area of lotus flowers and lotus leaves.

The wind on the autumn night was a little damp and cold, Xiaohua took the cloak and came back, draped it over her shoulders, and then stood on the left and right with Xiaoju and Xiaoju carrying lanterns.

The bright moonlight sprinkled on the calm pool, like a piece of clear jade, startled the fish, and the ripples turned the moonlight into a shaking broken white plate. After a while, it returned to its original state, bright and naughty.

The lotus breeze of the autumn night makes the fragrance even stronger.

Hua Lan asked Xiaohua to put the refreshments in the gazebo, sat down leisurely and asked, "This courtyard will really be where Miss Ben has always lived." Tell me how many springs and autumns Miss Ben has lived in? ”

"Miss, the slave maid has just come to the house for two or three years, these are all things that I have heard from Mama Zhang before, and the mother has been saying that the slave and maid really don't know about other things."

Xiaohua cautiously explained.

"You two have just been in the house for two or three years?"

Hua Lan poured herself a cup of tea, picked it up and slowly tasted it to her lips, raised her eyes to look at Xiaoju and asked, "Are you too?" ”

"Miss Hui, the slave maid came to the house just now. I didn't know anything about other matters before, and these were all told by Mama Zhang before. ”

Xiao Ju lowered her head and said cautiously.

"So, it's hard for both of you to be sure that Miss Ben was really the former owner of this courtyard?"

Hua Lan smiled indifferently, her long eyelashes flickered down, her eyes flashed with suspicion, and she tasted the taste of tea faintly.

The taste of tea, the fragrance is tranquil, this taste, she has tasted, only the Imperial Palace of Kyoto City can only have, it is a bird's tongue.

"You say that Miss Ben is the master of this courtyard, but you have heard it. Could it be that Miss Ben didn't even have a maid to serve before? ”

Hua Lan sighed indifferently, gently put the teacup she had drunk a few sips on the table, sighed depressedly, her eyes fell on Xiaohua and Xiaoju's faces, and she smiled slightly, as cold as electricity.

She saw that Xiaohua was flustered, and lowered her head.

Xiao Ju was not, only a little stunned, and then said cautiously: "Miss, these slaves don't know, if Miss wants to know, wait for tomorrow the slave and maid will ask Mama Zhang, and then come back and forth to Miss." Or, when Miss Tomorrow morning asks Niangniang to say goodbye, she can also go and ask Niangniang in person. ”

Xiao Ju pushed it clean, and when it came to this, Hua Lan asked again, it was deliberately difficult.

Hua Lan took her gaze, and cast her eyes on the lotus pond very dullly, and looked at it for a while, the atmosphere was very weird, so she pointed to a few white lotus flowers swaying in the moonlight, and said: "You two go and pick these two lotus flowers for me, the fragrance of this lotus is so good, go back and put them in my room." ”

"Yes."

Xiaohua and Xiaoju replied, looked at each other and exchanged glances, Xiaohua bowed and said: "Miss, this little thing is still a slave and maid to go, leaving Miss alone here, Mama Zhang knows, she will definitely lie on the slave's skin, and she didn't take care of Miss." The young lady is a kind-hearted master, and she will definitely not bear it, so it's better for the slave to go. ”

She said, without waiting for Hua Lan to answer, she carried the lantern and walked out of the pavilion, and the little chrysanthemum on the side stood in place without moving, staring at Hua Lan.

Hua Lan nodded helplessly, it was okay, and her eyes followed the thin figure walking away with boring eyes.

The reason why this piece of lotus flowers is clustered on one side of the pond is actually to facilitate the picking here.

There is a curved bridge that extends to the lotus bush next to the pool, the bridge railing of white marble, the small flower is dressed in emerald clothes and flashes between the bridge railings, and it is not a big effort, and more than a dozen lotus flowers have been picked in the hand.

She came back with the lotus flowers and asked Hua Lan carefully: "Miss, are these lotus flowers enough?" If it is not enough, the slave and maid will go and collect some more. ”

Hua Lan took a branch from her hand, put it under her nose and smelled it, the rich lotus fragrance made people have a kind of transcendent throbbing, she nodded, and smiled: "Well, these are enough, you go find a bottle and put it in the room, and put it separately." In the bedroom, just put two sticks. ”

"Yes."

Xiaohua took the lotus flower handed by Hua Lan, lowered her head and carried the lantern to the main room.

Hua Lan's gaze scattered on the moonlight that fell on the flower pond and was spasmed by the fish from time to time, and slowly began to come to her senses.

Xiao Ju stood on the side, the glass lamp was placed on the table, and she lowered her head silently, as if everything around her had nothing to do with her.

Hua Lan's long eyelashes flickered from time to time, and the aura around her was quiet and gentle, but she still felt a cold chill.

This chill was emanated from Xiaoju's body after Xiaohua left the gazebo.

Xiao Ju must be the gray cloak, the person who is inserted by his side to monitor him.

After finding out this situation, Hua Lan lazily stretched her waist and stood up, and said lightly: "Let's go back to the room, it's a bit desolate to sit here and admire the moon alone, the more I sit, the more depressed I become, and my head hurts." ”

As soon as her body moved, Xiao Ju picked up the lantern and took two steps back to the side.

Hua Lan glanced at her with a smile and walked out of the pavilion. Xiao Ju then walked quickly to the front and looked at the road.

As soon as the lights on this side went to the main room, the small flowers in the room were packed up and welcomed out.

The two of them carefully waited for Hua Lan to return to the room, and carefully waited for Hua Lan to change her clothes, and then quietly retreated outside the door.

There is a plate of pastries on the table, and there are two budding lotus flowers in the jade net bottle on the side.

The lotus incense in the room was mixed with a faint aroma of grass and trees, and Hua Lan noticed that on the desk next to it, there was a purple gold incense burner, and wisps of light smoke were burning in it.

The aroma has the effect of repelling mosquitoes, but this elegant and light aroma of plants and trees is really special.
