Duanmu Fei was just about to say no, but Duanmu Heng had already walked back again, pulled Duanmu Fei's slender wrist through his sleeve, and said to Duanmu Xian: "Grandfather, my fourth sister and I will go first." ”

"......" Duanmu looked at Duanmu Xian expectantly, and his black and white eyes seemed to say, grandfather, I still want to play chess with you.

Duanmu Xian, who lost the chess, just didn't see it, and felt that the relationship between their brother and sister was really good, and the family and everything was prosperous!

Duanmu Xian smiled lovingly and waved his hand, meaning, you brothers and sisters go.

Duanmu flattened his small mouth, and was dragged away by Duanmu Heng step by step, looking loveless.

Duanmuxian tried to hold back a smile, turned his head to study the chess game in front of him, and thought: How can this be? The four girls have all let him have three sons, why did he still lose?

After Duanmu Heng and Duanmu Fei left the outer study, they went to Qiongtai Courtyard in the outer courtyard together.

Mr. Liu in Duanmu Heng's mouth is the great Confucian Liu Huawen recommended by the Zhang family, since Mr. Liu came to Duanmu Mansion in early November, he has lived in Qiongtai Courtyard, and the two small ones have invited Mr. to enlighten them, and only Duanmu Heng will come to Qiongtai Courtyard every day to attend classes.

When Mr. Liu saw that there was one more student in class tonight, the surprise in his eyes flashed, and his smiling gaze swept over Duanmu Fei's body.

"Mr. Liu," Duanmu Heng gave Mr. Liu a meticulous salute, and introduced Duanmu Feidao, "This is my fourth sister, and I will come here to listen from today." ”

Mr. Liu is about forty years old, and he is elegant and elegant. He stroked his goatee and said with a smile, "Then sit down." ”

Anyway, the fourth girl Duanmu is a girl's family and doesn't need to take the imperial examination, more of her as an observer, less of her as an auditor, for herself, in fact, it has no effect, as long as she teaches Duanmu Heng well.

"......" Duanmu was dumbfounded, she still had a glimmer of expectation, expecting Mr. Liu to drive away her inexplicable transfer student!

Now, she can only catch ducks on the shelves.

Duanmu Fei sighed silently in his heart, and could only sit down obediently.

After Mr. Liu cleared his throat, he began to speak: "Today we will continue to talk about "The Mean". Zi Chengzi said: What is not biased is in the middle, and what is not easy is mediocre. The right way of the middle of the world, the theorem of the mediocre ......"

Duanmu sat behind Duanmu Heng in a daze, his eyes gradually dilated, and he didn't pay attention to what Mr. Liu was talking about......

Poor Duanmu Fei was stared at by Duanmu Heng for two full hours, and it was not until the second watch that she returned to Zhanqing Courtyard in a wilted manner, and before going to bed, she still remembered that she must go to her grandfather tomorrow to plead for mercy.

If you do this every day, you won't be able to live this day.

But the next day, when he waited until the afternoon, Duanmuxian had not returned.

For the snow disaster, Duanmuxian is so busy these days that he has time to go home for three or five days, especially today, Jinzhou also handed over a letter asking the court for disaster relief, which said that the six towns and counties of Jinzhou, including Sheyao Town and Yungu County, were seriously affected by the disaster, crushing the people's houses, freezing to death a lot of cattle and sheep and a large area of vegetables, and the people were miserable.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, when the emperor saw this fold, his heart sank suddenly, his face sank like water, and he sent Duanmu Xian away: "Think about this matter again, you should step back first." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister will retire first." After Duanmuxian saluted the emperor, he withdrew.

The emperor looked at the fold on the case in a daze, and his eyebrows tightened.

"The emperor takes a sip of calming tea." Cen Yin presented the emperor with a cup of medicinal tea with both hands, and comforted, "Your Majesty, Pi Ji Tailai, my Dasheng luck is flourishing." ”

The fragrance of medicinal tea lingered on the tip of the nose, making the emperor's frowning brow stretch slightly.

"Ah Yin, I see that this snow disaster must be a warning from heaven, I really shouldn't have opened the ...... of the Buddha shrine rashly that day," the emperor sighed with emotion.

Whenever he thought of the statue of Guanyin with black ants crawling out of his eyes, the emperor felt uneasy, and his eyes were pitch black under the half-drooping eyes.

He didn't want to offend himself, if he really made an edict against himself, it would be like saying that he was not worthy of being the emperor, especially since his throne was not passed from his father's hands......

Just thinking about it, the emperor felt like a fish in his throat.

"It's all the rebel." The emperor grinded his back molars, and his heart seemed to be pressing against a mountain.

"Your Majesty," Cen Yin said unhurriedly, "Since this matter originated from Qianfeng Temple, the minister thought that he would simply go to Qianfeng Temple to do a ritual to show his sincerity, what does the emperor think?" The feminine voice of the handsome young man was like a spring breeze.

That's a good idea! When the emperor thought about it, his heart moved, his eyebrows raised, and he raised his eyes to look at Cen Yin, "Ah Yin, then you will go to Qianfeng Temple to arrange a ritual on my behalf." ”

Cen Yin received the order, and then said: "Your Majesty, there is a way, and the bell must be tied to the bell." Why don't you let His Royal Highness the Second Prince go with his ministers? ”

The emperor turned the jade wrench on his thumb, and said in his heart: Yes, Ah Yin is right, the bell must be tied to the bell, this matter was originally caused by the second son, and the rebel son should go to "ask for sin"!

"Ah Yin, you still think about it!" The emperor praised Cen Yin thoughtfully, "Everything will be handed over to you." ”

After having a way to deal with it, the emperor felt light, and only felt that most of the troubles of these days seemed to have been swept away.

"Your Majesty, rest assured." Cen bowed incognito, his cheeks lowered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up at an angle that the emperor could not see.

There was silence in the study.

So, on the thirteenth day of the lunar month, Cen Yin and the second prince Mu Youchang and his wife went to Qianfeng Temple again.

Since returning to Beijing from Qianfeng Temple last month, the emperor has been very dissatisfied with Mu Youchang, who had finally used the Chu family to please the emperor with this family matter, and now it has become like this, and he has been very uneasy in his heart for a long time.

The emperor ordered him to do things with Cen Yin, and he naturally obeyed his orders without saying a word, and along the way, he was also very attentive to Cen Yin, almost nodding his head.

"Lord Cen Duke, the snow has been slippery recently, you need to be careful under your feet."

"Lord Cen Du, this palace heard that the food here is good, I didn't have time to enjoy it last time, we shouldn't miss it this time."

"Lord Cen ......"

Mu Youchang smiled with Cen Yin in front, Chu Qingyu followed behind with low eyebrows, and several people followed along the mountain trail all the way to the top of Qianfeng Mountain.

When they arrived at Qianfeng Temple, the abbot Master Huineng and a group of monks were ready.

The ritual began at the time of the year and was arranged in the meditation hall.

The hall was filled with cigarette smoke, and the monks on both sides stood in an orderly manner, and in the silence, there was a solemn atmosphere.

Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu knelt down on the futon in front of the statue of Guanyin, and the solemn chanting of the monks sounded in the hall.

"Boom!"

Suddenly, a roar of thunder sounded outside the hall.

Mu Youchang's originally closed eyes opened suddenly, and he looked back at the outside of the hall, only to find that the sky that was still sunny when they went up the mountain had become gloomy at some point, and layers of clouds covered the sky, as if the night had fallen in advance.

The rumbling thunder rang louder and louder, like ten thousand horses galloping, as if the heavens were roaring angrily, as if the heavens were swearing some kind of dissatisfaction, as if even the meditation hall he was in was shaken by the thunder.

Mu Youchang swallowed his saliva, his eyes couldn't hide the look of panic, and the continuous thunder in his ears lingered around, and each blow was like a heavy hammer hitting his heart.

This is just the beginning of the practice, and there is a thunderstorm, which is too much-

Unlucky.

Mu Youchang was apprehensive in his heart, and turned his head stiffly, but he happened to meet Cen Yin's deep and narrow eyes on the side, and he couldn't help but stiffen.

Cen faintly looked at Mu Youchang with a smile.

"Boom!"

Another burst of thunder sounded, and raindrops the size of beans crackled outside, densely packed, and in an instant, it became a pouring rain, the heavy rain was like a curtain, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thunder in the sky was still exploding one after another.

Cen Yin didn't move, and looked at Mu Youchang with a calm expression, Mu Youchang was even more panicked by him, and subconsciously asked, "Cen ...... Butler, this ...... Do you want to continue this ritual? ”

Chu Qing beside him was silent, and his heart was also a little up-and-down.

"Second Young Master, the last time I came to Qianfeng Temple, I was alarmed......" Cen Yin said meaninglessly, and as he spoke, he raised his right hand and dusted his left shoulder carelessly.

Seeing this scene, Mu Youchang's pupils shrank sharply, and he couldn't help but think of the little ash that was dusted off Cen Yin's shoulder in the last time he came to Qianfeng Temple......

Cen Yin really knew, he knew that he was setting fire to the meditation hall! Mu Youchang was seen by Cen Yin's heartbeat pounding faster, and he hurriedly tried to find an excuse to explain: "Cen ......"

"Second young master, you are doing things for the master." Cen Yin didn't want to listen to Mu Youchang's excuse at all, so he interrupted him directly, "Have you ever thought about returning empty-handed like this, how to explain to the master?" ”

Cen ...... Chamberlain. Mu Youchang's voice became harder and harder, and he stopped talking, wanting to ask Cen Yin to help hide it.

Cen Yin looked at him straight, his eyes as deep as the sea, unfathomable.

Mu Youchang's heart sank lower and lower, and he became even more bottomless.

With Cen Yin's current status, it can be said that he is above 10,000 people under one person, although he is the prince, he is neither a concubine nor the eldest son, and he dislikes his father, so he can't give Cen Yin anything at all...... And why did you let Cen Yin hide it for herself?!

Mu Youchang only felt that the air around him was almost condensed, almost out of breath, and his face was as white as paper, and the six gods had no master.

The monks in the hall chanted Buddha constantly, and these solemn voices not only could not calm Mu Youchang's mind, but made him even more confused.

He twisted his eyebrows and asked almost humbly, "Cen ...... Butler, what do you think you should do? ”

Cen Yin smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Since it is the second young master, you have committed a 'thing', why don't you go outside and kneel to calm the anger of the sky!" ”

There was a constant thunder outside, but Cen Yin's feminine voice seemed to have a wonderful penetrating power, word by word, especially clear.

Go outside and kneel?! Mu Youchang first subconsciously looked at the pouring rain outside the hall, and then looked at the culprit beside him, Chu Qingyu, his eyes were as dark as owls.

It all started with Chu Qingyu...... Then it should be Chu Qingyu who angers the gods.

Chu Qingyu was stunned by Mu Youchang's gloomy gaze, and wanted to speak, but in the next moment, Mu Youchang's eyes became gentle, as if it was just her hallucination just now.

The sound of chanting Buddha echoed all around, and the monks, including Master Huineng, did not squint one by one, only chanting the scriptures, as if they had not heard anything.

Mu Youchang knelt on the futon, clasped his palms together and looked at the statue of Yang Zhi Guanyin with a kind face in front of him, and did not move for a while.

If you are a prince anyway, what kind of body will you become when you go to kneel in the rain, if this spreads......

"Zilala!"

Suddenly, a silver-white lightning bolt split from the gloomy sky outside, illuminating the slightly dim temple, and the silver-white light illuminated the kind and gentle facial features of Guanyin in front of him a little gloomy and weird......

Mu Youchang felt as if he had been struck by the lightning just now, and his ears roared like tinnitus, and half of his three souls and seven spirits were lost in an instant.

Could it be that he and Chu Qingyu really angered the gods?!

Zi said: Zi is silent, and the strange power is confused.

But......

As the saying goes, it's better to believe what you have than what you don't.

The most important thing is that once today's incident reaches the ears of his father, his father will definitely blame himself for not being pious enough, and when the time comes, Cen Yin will say that he set fire to the temple......

It's all over for yourself!

The more Mu Youchang thought about it, the more frightened he became, and suddenly stood up, and at the same time called: "Yu'er ......"

These two simple words made Chu Qingyu vaguely aware of something, and his face became even more ugly.

"Whoa......

Heavy rain poured down like a waterfall, splashing on the ground.

It's the cold winter of Layue, so you can imagine how cold this rain will be on your body......

She is already a noble second princess, why should she suffer like this?!

Chu Qingyu wanted to say "no", but she also knew that she didn't have the support of the Chu family now, and all her honors and favors were tied to Mu Youchang, and she couldn't refute his face in public.

Chu Qingyu slowly stood up from the futon, staring straight at Mu Youchang's back, watching him stride out of the threshold of the Meditation Palace.

Mu Youchang stopped under the eaves for a moment, and then resolutely stepped into the heavy rain.

"Whoa!"

The rain seemed to be getting heavier and heavier.

Mu Youchang's body was soaked in an instant.

Chu Qingyu's pupils shrank, he didn't dare to stay any longer, and he quickly stepped out of the threshold and plunged into the rain curtain.

"Whoa......

The sound of rain surrounded her, and Chu Qingyu's dress was also soaked in a breath, and the rain ruthlessly penetrated the layers of clothes and stuck to her delicate skin.

The icy rain pierced her face, neck, and back of her hands like thousands of needles, and her hair was soaked, and the raindrops ran down her cheeks......

Her whole body was like being soaked in a bucket of ice water, her whole body was cold and painful, but she could only kneel on the cold and hard ground with Mu Youchang, facing the meditation hall.

The dense rain blurred Chu Qingyu's vision, and the rain dripping down her eyelashes made her barely able to open her eyes.

With another burst of thunder, the rain became heavier and heavier, and the cold wind howled, and the wind and rain blew the surrounding branches and leaves swaying like a group of demons dancing.

Cen Yin always stood where he was, the curtain hanging above cast a shadow on him, shrouding his beautiful face in shadows, and lining his narrow eyes more and more deep and quiet.

Cen Yin quietly looked at Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu who were kneeling in the heavy rain, with a calm expression.

The ritual continued in an orderly manner, and the atmosphere in the hall became more and more solemn, which was awe-inspiring.

The crisp chime sounded, Cen Yin moved, his eyes were withdrawn from the outside of the hall, he looked forward, and looked at Master Huineng standing on the left side of the statue of Yang Zhi Guanyin for a moment, and then looked at the new curtain behind him.

The curtain, which had been scorched by the fire, had long since been removed and replaced with a new one, the bright yellow of which was gilded with a faint halo of orange candle flames.

When the wind blows, the curtain trembles slightly with the wind, making a rustling sound, and the closed rosewood shrine behind the curtain can be vaguely seen.

Cen Yin's eyes, which had always been calm and waveless, were filled with a shallow ripple in an instant, and then he regained his calm, as if nothing had happened.

The rain was pouring down like it was going on and on, as if it never ended.

Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu, who were kneeling in the rain, no longer had a little blood on their faces, Mu Youchang was a man, even if he was embarrassed, but he could stand it, and Chu Qingyu was already shivering from the cold, and the cyan blood vessels could almost be seen under the white skin, and his face was like paper.

This rainstorm has not become less than an hour at once.

Thunderstorms, lightning and thunder.

The wind blew several large trees in the courtyard to and from side to side, and the branches crackled.

The lightning slashed down again and again, as if it was about to hit the top of his head, and Mu Youchang, who was kneeling on the ground, almost didn't beat his heart, but he still held back.

He silently recited in his heart: Heaven will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, starve their muscles and bones, strain their bodies and skin, and benefit what they cannot......

He was wrong and angered the gods.

However, for the sake of his sincere confession, God will definitely forgive him!

He's the son of life!

Moreover, there is no way back for him.

If he retires now, how will his father explain it?

With the character of his father who can't rub sand in his eyes, he must let his father see his "sincerity".

Thinking about it, Mu Youchang secretly gritted his teeth, his waist straightened up, and his eyes were resolute.

Regardless of the wind and rain, he stood still like a rock.

The rain gradually became lighter, and the cold wind blew as if to carry all the heat away from them, and it became colder.

Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu felt as if even their bones were cold, and the blood in their bodies was ice.

Chu Qingyu couldn't hold it anymore, her lips were pale blue and purple, like a dead corpse fished out of the water.

Her cherry lips moved, as if she wanted to say something, and her slender body swayed, as if she would faint at any moment.

With another chime and a hurried chanting, the ritual was finally completed and the rain stopped.

All that was left was the dripping raindrops falling down the eaves, and the air became much fresher after being washed by the rain.

At this time, Chu Qingyu was barely holding on to his last breath, and if he continued, he was afraid that even Mu Youchang would be paralyzed.

Several of the palace people who accompanied him did not squint, as if they were waiting for something.

"It's really annoying Master Huineng today." Cen Yin arched his hand at Master Huineng, "The contemptible person wants to go back to my lord to report his life, so he will leave." ”

It wasn't until Cen Yin stepped out of the meditation hall that those attendants ran towards Mu Youchang and Chu Qingyu as if they had just woken up, shouting unhurriedly:

"Second Young Master, Second Young Lady, are you two okay?"

"Don't hurry up and help the second young master and the second young lady up."

"Who is going to prepare a side room for the second young master and the second lady......"

“……”

There was a commotion in the rear.

Cen Yin didn't look back, left Qianfeng Temple with two little attendants, and went straight back to Beijing. He didn't change his clothes, he directly wore the lake blue brocade robe on his body and went to the imperial study to find the emperor to restore his life.

In the imperial study, there was only the emperor.

The emperor had been waiting restlessly for a long time, and since the early dynasty, he had been absentmindedly thinking about the rituals of the Thousand Maple Temple.

Cen Yin unhurriedly told the story of what happened in Qianfeng Temple today.

When he said that after the second prince knelt down in front of the statue of Guanyin, the sky suddenly sounded thunder, the emperor's face changed, and his right hand on the imperial case suddenly tightened, clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand protruded.

Cen Yin naturally saw it, but he remained silent, and then said that the second prince and the second princess knelt in the rain to pray for blessings.

“…… Your Majesty, although he has done the Dharma, he ......" Cen Yin looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and did not continue to speak, but the worry between his eyebrows was already overflowing.

The Emperor let out a long sigh and looked past Cen Yin to the window behind him, the blue sky coming into view through the transparent glass window.

The emperor muttered to the blue sky after the rain and said softly: "I only hope that God will forgive the fault of this rebel son and not let the innocent people bear this disaster......"

Saying that, the emperor thought about something, and snorted angrily, "This morning, there was still 'someone' who handed the fold to this rebel son to ask for a knighthood, take care of me, where can he afford it!" ”

The emperor casually picked up a fold on the case, and threw it out without thinking, the fold flew right at Cen Yin's feet, and smashed on the leg of the chair behind him with a "pop", smashing the circle chair with a "pop" sound.

The emperor felt still puzzled, his heart was still heavy, and he was a little depressed.

Cen Yin observed the change in the emperor's expression, and said softly: "Your Majesty, this room seems to be a little stuffy, do you want to open half a window for you?" ”

The emperor responded, and felt in his heart that Ah Yin was still careful to use it.

Cen Yin took a few steps forward and opened half of the window, and a cold cold wind blew in, blowing away some of the incense in the room.

The emperor felt much more comfortable, so he simply stood up, walked to the window and sat down, still a little absent-minded, still thinking about what it meant to be thundering from the sky......

Now that this is done, the matter should be over, right? The emperor tried to convince himself in his heart.

Cen Yin personally served tea to the emperor again.

The pastel enamel teacup is painted with brightly colored pictures of flowers and birds, and the gorgeous golden phoenix and delicate peony complement each other.

The emperor's gaze stayed on the golden phoenix for a moment, and he wanted to pick up the teacup, but he stopped again and muttered, "Ah Yan has been back for two days, and it's time to hold a reception banquet for him." ”

Not only for Feng Yan, but also for the tribes who have just arrived in the capital in the past few days.

The emperor frowned slightly, feeling troublesome, and casually ordered: "Ah Yin, you can arrange this matter." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After the simple three words fell, the imperial study fell silent, only the sound of the brocade curtain being raised and fell, and then it was completely calm.

So, the next day, before noon, Duanmu Fei, who was sleeping lazily, was dug up from the quilt by the combined efforts of the cicada and pothos.

It is said that the emperor sent Gonggong Li to deliver the message.

Duanmu Fei was still in a daze, stupidly waiting for her to dress and groom by the maid, and then went to the Chaohui Hall in front.

Duanmu Xian has not come back since he went out to the morning court in the morning, and the second master Duanmu Chao and Xiao He are accompanying the attendants who came to pass on the message.

Seeing that a stick of incense had passed, but Duanmu Fei did not appear for a long time, Duanmu Chao and Xiao He were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

Duanmu Chao apologized to the waiter again and again: "Gonggong Li, it's really rude to let you wait for a long time." ”

While he was talking, Xiao He kept making his eyes so that the maid on the side hurried to urge, and the maid was blessed and ran out in a hurry.

Xiao Lizi brushed the rim of the cup with the lid of tea, making a slight collision sound, his voice was slightly cold, and said: "Lord Duanmu, our family is waiting for our family, don't bother with it." Xiao Lizi's face was not very good-looking, his eyebrows were tightly locked, and he didn't hide this at all, and he didn't give Duanmu Chao and his wife a good look.

Duanmu Chao's face froze, and he didn't know how to answer this, so he could only record this account on the four nieces first.

Xiao Lizi was a little uneasy, picked up the teacup, put it down again, and secretly blamed himself in his heart, blaming him for coming too early, if the overseer knew, he would definitely feel that he was unreliable, and he actually quarreled with the four girls to rest.

Hey, why did you go out so early!

In the future, I must keep in mind that if I come to the Duanmu family again, I must come back after noon!

Xiao Li Zi was thinking in annoyance, Duanmu Fei and Duanmu Jun came together, and the sisters passed through the Moon Cave Gate without hurrying.

Ouch, isn't this the fourth girl!

Xiao Lizi jumped up from the chair all of a sudden, took a few steps forward, and arched his hand to Duanmujun and Duanmufei, who were crossing the threshold, and said, "Duanmu girl, fourth girl, how are you doing lately?" He looked at the sisters with a look on his face, and his smile almost burst into flowers.

Duanmu said generously: "Father-in-law Li, my sister and I are very good, thank you for your concern." ”

"You're welcome, girl." Xiao Lizi smiled more enthusiastically, then cleared his throat and said, "Since the fourth girl is here, then our family will make a long story short." ”

Several people in the hall knelt down to listen to the order.

Xiao Lizi said slowly and leisurely in a sharp voice in a long tone: "Pass on the emperor's edict, tomorrow in Qianya Garden for Feng Yan and Feng Gongzi to pick up the wind and wash the dust, please go with the four girls of Duanmu." Chin this. ”

"The courtier's decree." Duanmufei simply echoed neatly, and then everyone stood up one after another.

"Then our family won't bother the four girls, let's go first." After Xiao Lizi arched his hand at Duanmu Fei again, he left with a smile on his face.

Duanmu Fei specially ordered the pothos to send it to each other, and the pothos hurriedly stuffed the little plum with a red envelope, but where did the little plum dare to accept it, and he almost ran away.

Seeing that Xiao Lizi was walking away, Duanmu Chao Fang breathed a sigh of relief, and his originally tense shoulders also relaxed, frowned and looked at Duanmu Fei, and scolded: "Sister Scarlet, you are too disproportionate!" actually slept until this hour, which made Gonggong Li wait for a long time. ”

"That's right." Xiao He frowned slightly, and reprimanded in agreement, "Sister Scarlet, you are not young, you are all engaged to be married, not a child's family, why don't you know the number of etiquette!" You must always remember that your surname is Duanmu, and your negligence alone is bad for the reputation of the Duanmu family. ”

The more Xiao He said, the more indignant he became, who didn't know that these eunuchs have always loved to hold grudges, and today Gonggong Li looked at the face of his family as the first auxiliary mansion, and was a little polite to this girl, but who knows if he will find a chance to take revenge after a few days? !

These two girls in the long room are really harmful!

Duanmujun raised his eyes to look at Xiao He's family, and asked lightly: "How do I remember that time when Lord Cen came in person, he was turned away by the second aunt?" ”

Duanmujun said that Cen Yin personally sent the two sisters back to their house the year before last, since Xiaohe wanted to talk about "etiquette", then Duanmujun discussed "etiquette" with her.

Duanmu Fei tried hard to hold back a smile, looking at Duanmu Jun with bright eyes, and almost said that her sister was mighty.

Xiao He seemed to have splashed ink, and his face was extremely ugly.

Duanmu Chao also quickly remembered this, and looked at Xiao He with unkind eyes, his daughter-in-law has done a lot of stupid things in the past two years.

Duanmu Chao couldn't help but admonish: "You, take care of yourself and Sister Qi'er, and I'll be thankful." ”

The air in the hall became more and more awkward, and Duanmujun simply excused himself to help his sister pack up quickly, and pulled his sister to stand up.

After the sisters blessed Duanmu Chao and his wife, they left the Zhaohui Hall.

However, before they returned to Zhanqing Courtyard, Duanmujun, a busy man, was called away by a housekeeper, leaving Duanmufei alone to continue walking back.

She wrinkled her little face a little tangled, it was more than half the hour, should she go back to sleep.

Or just wait for her lunch and get some sleep in the afternoon?

After thinking about it, she finally decided to make the piano, and it was not in vain that she got up early.

Her piano is only seven or eight percent complete, and she is just carrying out the process of lacquer polishing.

Lacquer pushing light is a very cumbersome and important part of the piano making, before and after a total of more than 20 times of lacquer, each time after the end, the piano must be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dry, let it experience the four seasons of wind, frost, rain and snow.

Today is the twenty-second time that Duanmu Fei has painted the piano, and she estimates that when the next lacquer is dry, she can start polishing and tuning the strings at the same time.

Every time Duanmu makes the piano, he is alone in a small room in the backyard.

If it weren't for watching the girl start from wood step by step, she couldn't believe that looking at a simple piano was so complicated, it was more tiring than building a house!

As soon as Duanmu Fei got busy, she forgot to eat, but she was reminded by Bi Cicada and Pothos three times and twice, and finally invited her out.

When Hanxing came to Zhanqing Courtyard, Duanmufei's lunch had just been eaten.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, Han Xing showed a comprehensible expression, and said with a playful smile: "Cousin Scarlet, it's not too late for now, you just had lunch, and you slept too comfortably." "It's no wonder that this girl is reluctant to go to Huilan Garden with her to go to girls' school.

"Cousin Hanxing, I've been up a long time ago." Duanmu Fei defended himself seriously.

"Good, good." Han Xing responded perfunctorily, and the words changed, "Cousin Scarlet, this palace has just come out of Huilan Garden, and I plan to go directly to Qianya Garden, do you want to go with this palace?" ”

She hasn't packed her things yet. Duanmu Fei hesitated at first, but soon thought that if she followed Han Xing now, wouldn't it mean that she didn't have to go to Mr. Liu's class with her eldest brother at night?

Thinking of this, the little hesitation in Duanmu's heart was swept away, Huo Di stood up, and smiled sweetly, glutinously and softly, "Cousin Hanxing, let's go quickly." ”

So, Han Xing's ass didn't sit hot, so he was pulled away by Duanmu Fei. The pothos had to stay first, and then rush to Qianya Garden when the luggage was packed.

Han Xing's carriage drove out of the corner door of Duanmu Mansion after a while, Duanmu Fei nervously opened the curtains, glanced back, and was sure that Duanmu Heng had not caught up, so he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his body became lazy and boneless, snuggling on Han Xing's shoulder.

Seeing that she looked like a cat and didn't sleep enough, Han Xing couldn't help but hook her lips, raised her hand to scrape the tip of her nose, and teased: "This palace got up this morning in order to go to Huilanyuan to go to class, and I didn't get sleepy like you." Scarlet cousin, were you reincarnated as a cat in your last life? ”

Duanmu tilted her head and thought about it, her surname was Chu in her previous life, and she was definitely not a cat.

Therefore, she shook her head solemnly, and then said with a smile: "Cousin Hanxing, you were about a bird in your last life. "The early bird gets the worm.

Who would have thought, Han Xing actually nodded matter-of-factly, and winked at Duanmu Fei, "Isn't it, this palace must have been the head phoenix in his last life!" ”

She is a princess, of course she is a phoenix!

As she spoke, Han Xing couldn't help laughing, and Duanmu Fei was also amused by her.

The laughter of the two cousins echoed in the small carriage.

After laughing, Han Xing sighed again: "If only you went to girls' school, cousin...... No one played with me. ”

Regarding this topic, Duanmu smiled and said nothing.

Fortunately, Han Xing's emotion came and went quickly, and she quickly remembered another thing, "Cousin Scarlet, who do you think I met when I came out of Huilanyuan today?" ”

This time, Duanmu Fei was very knowledgeable, and immediately asked with a crooked face, "Who?" ”

Han Xing smiled mysteriously before saying, "Third Miss Tao." ”

"I heard from other girls in the women's school that she went to Huilanyuan every day to plead with Qi, and she had been there for more than half a month, but Qi's family was still unmoved."

"It's that everyone Zhong thinks that they shouldn't be too harsh on a little girl's family, and they also say that Miss Tao San is the leader of the piano arts, and she is very talented in the piano arts, and it seems that they want to accept her as a disciple."

Duanmufei listened with relish while nibbling on melon seeds, and the sleepy insects all ran away at once, and his eyes lit up like a cat's eye that smelled fishy.

Han Xing continued: "Zhong Xiu said that if there is any progress, he will send someone to Qianya Garden to deliver a letter to the palace. ”

Han Xing curled his lips triumphantly and smiled, as if to say that this princess has eyeliner everywhere, and she is the most well-informed.

Duanmu Fei applauded twice very cooperatively, and politely poured her a cup of warm tea and sent it to her.

Han Xing happened to say a little dry, and poured half a cup of tea in one go, quite satisfied, "How good is the tea in our Central Plains, fragrant and fragrant, mellow and sweet." The lord of Roland County has to say that we are spoiling good tea, good tea should be made milk tea, and their milk tea in the northwest is the best. ”

Speaking of the county lord of Roland, Han Xing was angry, feeling that this county lord was really annoying, and he had to fight with people everywhere, and he was domineering, but he was ......

Remembering something that Duanmu Guifei said to her, she pouted.

"Scarlet cousin, the mother concubine told the palace that the annoying lord of Roland seems to want to marry into the Central Plains, and ......" Han Xing paused, his small mouth was so upturned that he could almost hang the oil bottle, "The father seems to want her to be a side concubine for the eldest emperor." Do you say that the father and the emperor are messing with the mandarin duck spectrum? ”

According to Hanxing, her father is not reliable at all, and the candidate he chose for the eldest emperor sister before was not at all, and now the side concubine he chose for the eldest emperor brother is like this......

Duanmu Fei instinctively wanted to nod, but this time his jaw moved, and he felt that it was wrong.

Her marriage to Feng Yan was also given by the emperor...... Is that a messy mandarin duck spectrum?

Duanmu Fei's little face was a little tangled, and he silently poured himself a cup of tea.

She still drinks tea, don't waste this good Biluochun.

Han Xing didn't expect Duanmu Fei to answer, a sly smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she leaned into Duanmu Fei's ear and whispered: "Cousin Scarlet, let's go together to mess up this marriage, okay?" "She doesn't want that annoying Lord Roland to be her sister-in-law.

Although Han Xing deliberately lowered his voice, the carriage was so big, and the palace maid on the side, Congzhen, inevitably heard it, so she could only silently look at the tips of her shoes, as if she hadn't heard anything.

"I don't know how Cousin Xian is doing in the south......" Duanmu Fei said with some emotion.

Regardless of the grievances between Hanxing and the lord of Roland, Duanmu Fei still sympathizes with Mu Youxian, although the prince's side concubine is not a concubine, but Mu Youxian is still in the south, the emperor will give him a prince's side concubine without authorization, is this really good?

Thinking of his eldest brother, Han Xing sighed faintly: "The mother concubine said that the eldest brother will definitely not be able to return to Beijing to celebrate the New Year with us this year......

She has never been separated from her eldest brother for so long since she was born.

Han Xing's expression was a little solemn, and after a few breaths in the carriage, she quickly refreshed her spirits again, thinking: The eldest brother is a person with great ambitions, it is better than the second emperor brother who is out of tune!

"Scarlet cousin, last night the palace went to the imperial study to ask my father for peace, and I happened to meet the second emperor's brother next to the chamberlain to give my father leave, saying that the second emperor brother and the second emperor's sister-in-law were drenched in the rain outside yesterday, and they came back with a high fever that did not go away, and the imperial doctor said that they must be taken care of carefully, so as not to enter the lungs."

"On this cold day, why did the two of them still run outside in the rain together......

Han Xing muttered in a low voice, Duanmu Fei was accidentally choked on the tea, and coughed continuously.

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Duanmu Fei's mind naturally thought of the last time Feng Yan specially asked her when there was thunder.

She silently lowered her head and continued to drink tea with her eyes and nose and nose......
