Shu Yun raised his eyes and looked at Chu Qingyu suspiciously, puzzled.

Chu Qingyu smiled mysteriously, "Shu Yun, do you know that there is a Second Miss Kang from your Third Emperor Brother, and she is a sister with Fifth Miss Kang from the Fourth Emperor Sister. As far as I know, they are sisters at odds. ”

As he spoke, the smile on Chu Qingyu's lips became even stronger, and his eyes were bright and dark, remembering a lot of past events.

In the last life, when the emperor was touring south, the third prince Mu Youjing took a Kang girl back to Beijing and settled in a house in the capital.

It wasn't until he was named Prince Jia by the emperor after he got married, and he went out of the palace to open the mansion, that the second girl Kang was accepted into the palace and became Aunt Kang, which was quite favored by Mu Youjing.

Two years later, another Kang girl came to Jiawang's Mansion, which was Kang Yunyan, the fifth girl of Kang.

Kang Yunyan did his best to seduce Mu Youjing, and also became a concubine in the palace.

The two sisters were like enemies in the previous life, fighting in the backyard of the palace, fighting to the death, and finally the second girl Kang Yunxia was defeated, Xiang Xiaoyu died, and was wrapped in a broken mat and thrown into a mass grave.

Kang Yunyan was in the Jiawang Mansion for a while, and was also named the prince's side concubine.

At that time, almost everyone in the capital knew about this sisterly fight in King Jia's mansion, and all kinds of news spread around, so Chu Qingyu also knew.

And she knows a lot.

Miss Kang Er and Miss Kang Wu are sisters of the same father and mother, Miss Kang Wu is the daughter of the Kang family, and Miss Kang's biological mother Fang is the equal wife of Master Kang, and she is also the cousin who grew up with Master Kang's childhood sweetheart.

Mrs. Kang and the Fang family have always been at odds, so the relationship between the two sisters of the Kang family has always been bad when they were in the boudoir.

In these years, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.

When the second girl Kang was favored, she thought that Aunt Fang would also be exposed in the Kang Mansion, how could the fifth girl Kang be willing to be pressed on her head by the concubine as a concubine, no wonder she would do anything to climb up, she would rather serve a husband with her sister, and even ended up taking her sister's life!

This Kang Wu girl is obviously a ruthless person.

Chu Qingyu picked up the teacup again, drank the tea slowly, and didn't say more, leaving it up to Shu Yun to figure it out.

Outside the window, another spring breeze blew, causing the window to creak and sway.

Shu Yun's heart seemed to ripple with it.

She was moved.

If she didn't have to do it herself, then even if something went wrong, the unlucky person wouldn't be her.

Shu Yun took a deep breath and instructed his personal palace maid: "Sango, you go and inquire about the second and fifth girls of the Kang family." ”

Coral understands that there are also girls sent by wealthy families in the city to serve the princess in their courtyard, these girls were born and raised in Gusu, and the girls from various provinces are inevitably in contact with each other, and they must know a thing or two about the situation between the Kang family sisters.

"Yes, Your Highness." Coral bent his knees and turned to go out.

Shu Yun was overjoyed and shook Chu Qingyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Second Imperial Sister-in-law, you are still the best for this palace, and everything is considered for this palace." ”

Her second emperor brother thinks about fighting with the third emperor brother every day, and she can't count on it at all.

She didn't notice that Coral had changed all her complexion as she turned around, and the handkerchief in her hand had almost been rubbed by her.

The third princess only acted on her own whims, and she never considered them slaves and maids at all.

It is conceivable that once something ugly really happens, the person who is charged with the crime is himself nine times out of ten......

In the midst of his thoughts, Coral walked to the door curtain, paused for a moment, and then slowly opened the curtain, thinking of poor Xiaolian.

Xiaolian and herself have served the third princess since childhood, and now they have been seven or eight years old, they are loyal to the third princess, and they serve with all their heart and soul on weekdays, but what did Xiaolian get in exchange? !

In order to get rid of the marriage with Cao Qinfeng, the third princess designed Xiaolian and let Xiaolian and Cao Qinfeng ......

Coral pupils shrank, and after walking out of the east room, he couldn't help but glance back in the direction of Shu Yun.

The door curtain "brushed" down, swaying back and forth in mid-air, Coral looked inside through the shaking door curtain, Shu Yun was smiling and coquettishly with Chu Qingyu, with a bright smile.

Coral's eyes gradually became trance-like, and a faint mist seemed to fill in front of him.

Her heart is very complicated, there is confusion, apprehension, sadness, and a kind of sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox.

She stood still for three breaths, then turned around as if nothing had happened, her face had regained her composure, and she hurried out of the house, staggering past the forsythia who had brought the hibiscus cake.

Shu Yun and Chu Qingyu talked and laughed, and had been having some lunch in the Mingse Pavilion, and when it was too late, she left the Mingse Pavilion, and her steps were much brisker, which was very different from when she came.

At this time, the sun was the warmest, shining warmly, Shu Yun simply slowed down, and while walking, he enjoyed the scenery in the garden.

The sea forest in early spring looks very different from winter, the grass and trees spit out tender shoots, and the greenery in the courtyard is getting thicker and more vibrant.

When walking past an octagonal pavilion by the pond, Shu Yun wanted to go in and sit, but before he could go in, he heard a "croaking" sound like a crow chirping from above the pavilion.

Shu Yun subconsciously followed the prestige, and saw a black starling parked on the tip of the octagonal pavilion, standing on the tip of the slender pavilion like a golden rooster.

"Quack!"

The starling raised his head to the sky and screamed, startling a group of birds perched in the surrounding woods, flapping his wings and scattering.

Shu Yun knew at a glance that this was Duanmufei's starling, and frowned slightly.

There is really a master and there must be a bird, and it is very noisy!

"Hachi! Come here! ”

Sure enough, in the next moment, a familiar female voice came from a distance from the other direction, and Han Xing pulled Duanmu Fei and walked briskly towards the pavilion.

"Quack!" The little starling responded, and swooped down from the pavilion with his wings flapped and stopped steadily on Han Xing's left arm.

"Hachi, you're flying too fast, can't you wait for Hongu?" Han Xing seemed to be joking and coquettishly said to the little starling.

"Quack!"

"Hongu knows you're flying the fastest! The amber in this palace is far worse than yours! ”

"Quack?"

Seeing that this person was talking happily with a bird, a chicken, and a duck, Duanmu couldn't help but smile, and his eyebrows were crooked.

Shu Yun looked at Duanmu Fei and Han Xing with cold eyes.

Since they pretended not to see themselves, she didn't intend to put her hot face on their cold ass.

Hum!

Shu Yun's eyes became deeper and deeper, and a tornado brewed little by little.

She brushed her sleeves away disdainfully, and walked briskly away from the side of the octagonal gazebo, without looking back.

"Your Highness, the slave maid seems to have seen Her Royal Highness the Third Princess......" The palace maid glanced in the direction of the pavilion with uncertainty from Zhen.

Han Xing followed Congzhen's gaze and looked towards the pavilion, which was already empty, only the branches and leaves swayed in the wind.

Hanxing shrugged, not paying much attention.

Everyone lives in the sea forest, and they don't see each other when they look up, and it is natural to encounter them in the garden by chance.

"Scarlet cousin, this palace is about to suffocate to death, let's just go out and play." Han Xing teased the little starling's chin with his fingers, and suggested with great interest, "Cousin Yan doesn't know what he's busy with, and he doesn't see him every day. ”

She was counting on him to take them out to play.

"......" Duanmu pursed his small mouth, and there was some complexity on his little face.

Feng Yan has been very busy recently, in fact, she can roughly guess what he is busy with, but she really doesn't dare to think about it......

Duanmu Fei was used to emptying his mind, and said with a straight face: "Cousin Hanxing, let's go out and play by ourselves." ”

The two little girls honestly stayed in the garden for more than ten days, and their hearts were a little itchy.

And......

The two of them raised their eyes and looked at the blue sky above, how good the weather is today!

A few days ago, it has been drizzling, although the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River has a charm in the poem, but this rainy day is really not suitable for going out, most of the time, the two girls are nested in the house to draw, tease the birds, write, chat, have long been bored panic.

The two of them said they would do it, and immediately asked Mei Xuan, and after changing into men's clothes, they ran out to play.

Once they got up, the cousins couldn't stop it, and they went out every day for a few days, visiting all the shops in Gusu City, buying materials, jewelry, decorations, calligraphy and paintings, books, and the four treasures of the study......

But whatever they are interested in, they all pay for it, and they return with a full load every day.

Congzhen is almost worried, and she has to load a few more carriages this time.

However, the two masters didn't realize it, and they just wanted to move half of the entire Gusu City back.

On this day, the cousins skipped Mrs. Zhang's class again, and they went out at the same time, but they didn't expect to escape Mrs. Zhang, but they couldn't escape Zeng Juren.

"I am a great and prosperous country, but it is the kingdom of the Heavenly Empire, with a territory of millions of miles, the wind and rain are smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."

"It is precisely because of my prosperity that I attract the covetousness of the surrounding barbarian countries, but the barbarians are barbarians after all, and sooner or later they will surrender to the majesty of my Dasheng!"

"Dasheng can have this prosperous world, thanks to the official family's good governance of the country......"

“……”

After listening to a few words, the two girls didn't even bother to drink half of the tea in their hands, and couldn't wait to come out of the teahouse.

Han Xing glanced back at the lobby, and the tea guests inside all looked up at the Tsing Yi Juzi on the side of the corridor on the second floor, their pupils shining brightly, as if they were looking at some sage.

Not only that, but there were many people on the street who heard the news and hurried one by one.

"Brother Huang, hurry up, I still want to listen to Zeng Juren's insight."

"Don't worry, it's in time."

Two young men who looked like students walked past Han Xing and Duanmu Fei and hurriedly entered the teahouse.

In today's Gusu City, the most limelight is undoubtedly Zeng Yuanjie, not only has his article been praised by the emperor several times, but he was also recruited by the emperor as a fast son-in-law of the East Bed, and now the students in the entire Jiangnan seem to be looking at him.

Han Xing frowned, pouted and muttered, "It's really a disappointment, we can all be disturbed if we have a good cup of tea." ”

As he spoke, Zeng Yuanjie's voice in the teahouse in the rear was even louder and louder, impassioned.

Duanmu Fei nodded thoughtfully, but it was a pity that she had the remaining half of Longjing.

Today is also a sunny day, Tianshun Street where they are located is bustling and bustling, with pedestrians coming and going, and colorful banners flying in the air.

Gusu City is one of the most prosperous towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and everywhere she and Hanxing go these days is a grand scene of national wealth and strong people.

However, all this is just a superficial prosperity, where Zeng Yuanjie can't see, the country has long been riddled with holes and crumbling, but even if some people put the truth in front of him, they will choose to turn a blind eye and listen to it.

Thinking of what she saw in Danxia County, Han Xing became more and more disgusted by what Zeng Yuanjie said in the rear, she took Duanmufei's hand and walked in the direction of the end of the street, and said: "Cousin Scarlet, I just heard a tea customer say that there is a shop at the end of the street called Xiyangfang, which specializes in selling Western goods, and all of them are new goods that have just been shipped from Minzhou, let's take a look." ”

"I also want to buy a few Western books, last time I saw in a Western book that there is also a kind of Western chess, and it looks like there are many similarities with our chess, but unfortunately the book is too general......"

While the cousins were talking, the man from the teahouse brought their horses over, and the two took their horses, and walked towards the end of the street with a smile and a smile, leaving Zeng Yuanjie behind in a blink of an eye.

Before they reached the end of the street, they saw five or six men walking towards them, led by a beautiful young man wearing a jasper-colored straight jacket, which shone like jade under the golden sunlight, attracting the attention of many passers-by.

Duanmu Fei and Han Xing stiffened.

"Boom." Feipian screamed happily twice, as if asking why they stopped, Duanmu Fei really wanted to cover Feipian's mouth.

They saw the beautiful young man, and the young man not far away also saw the two of them, and moved their eyebrows. These two little girls dressed as men, and no one around them followed, so they ran out to play at first glance.

Seeing Cen Yin stop, Meng Zhifu, Wen Jingzhi and others who followed him also stopped and followed Cen Yin's line of sight across the street.

The street is still lively, and the pedestrians are endless, but at this moment, Duanmufei feels that the surroundings are terrifyingly quiet.

"......" She was almost about to sigh, what kind of luck did she take, how could she meet Cen Yin every time she did something "bad"!

Duanmu swallowed his saliva, twisted his white and tender fingers with some apprehension, and couldn't help but think: Hmm, after Cen Yin returns to Beijing, he won't sue his sister, right?

Wait a minute!

After thinking about it again, Duanmu Fei felt that something seemed to be wrong, and she ...... She...... How could she think that?!

Duanmu Fei's mind was in a mess, she couldn't think of a reason for a while, she instinctively behaved, showed a sweet smile at Cen Yin, held Feipian with one hand, and took Han Xing's right hand with the other, intending to slip away.

Her appearance of running away from the desert looked in Cen Yin's eyes, just like the little starling who had done something bad, squeamish and cute.

The corners of Cen Yin's lips are slightly upturned, and it is no wonder that when Duanmujun talks about her sister, she always has that bright smile on her face, with a bit of satisfaction and doting.

Cen Yin's eyes couldn't help but appear in front of Duanmujun's bright face, his eyes were in a trance, and he subconsciously called: "Duanmu Si...... Son. ”

Duanmu?!

This surname is really too special, even Wen Jingzhi, Meng Zhifu and others didn't recognize the two little sons on the other side of the street at first as women dressed as men, and when they heard Cen Yin's call at this moment, they immediately guessed that the little boy wearing a primrose-colored straight jacket on the opposite side turned out to be the fourth girl of the Duanmu family.

When they guessed Duanmufei's identity, it was not difficult to guess that she was wearing a lake blue straight jacket next to her.

Duanmu Fei's body stiffened slightly, and since Cen Yin stopped her, she had to stop obediently.

Han Xing let go of her hand, gave her a "you ask for a lot of blessings" look, and took two steps back.

"Master Cen ."

Duanmu Fei turned around again, met Cen Yin's long, narrow and deep black eyes, and tried to smile more cutely, almost wagging his tail frantically at Cen Yin.

Cen Yin strode across the street and walked to Duanmu Fei.

"Boom." Feipian screamed twice, as if greeting Cen Yin.

Compared with Duanmu Scarlet and Hanxing, Feipian is very lively, happily flicking her black tail, and the shiny black fur is like satin in the sun.

Governor Meng, Wen Jingzhi and the others in the rear looked at each other, a little hesitant, not knowing whether to follow or not.

If you don't go over, I'm afraid of being rude; But after that, I was afraid that it would hinder Lord Cen from talking to his sister-in-law.

Cen Yin turned his back to a few people, and looked at Duanmu Fei with a gentle expression, "Although Gusu City is quite peaceful, after all, it is a matter of shipwrecks, and when you come out to play, you should also bring some talents." Otherwise, your sister will be worried. ”

Han Xing on the side glanced at Duanmu Fei sympathetically, and felt that she was really pitiful, it was rare that the elders and sisters were not around, and there was a righteous brother staring at her, and she was trained at every turn.

Duanmufei could only promise to Cen Yin, and he didn't dare to refute a word.

She pursed her lips and smiled obediently, with a pair of big black and white eyes wide open, looking like an innocent and innocent little milk cat, so cute that people couldn't bear to criticize her.

Cen Yin couldn't help but hook his lips again, turned around, pointed in the direction he came, and said, "There is a Western-style shop in front, and the Western-style goods sold are a bit interesting, you should like it." ”

As soon as he said this, Duanmu Fei's eyes lit up, his eyes burned, and he nodded again and again: "I just want to go to Xiyangfang to have a look." She thought to herself: Cen Gongzi is really visionary!

Wen Jingzhi, Meng Zhifu and others across the street were facing Cen Yin's smiling face, almost dumbfounded, and their hearts were surging.

These officials in the south of the Yangtze River are thousands of miles away from the capital, and it is rare for them to enter Beijing once in a few years, but even so, they have heard some rumors about Cen Yin in the past, and they are a little afraid of his people and affairs.

Since Cen Yin arrived in Gusu City, these days, he has been acting on behalf of the prime minister, with a tough style, ruthless methods, vigorous and resolute actions, and his temperament can be said to be elusive...... I didn't expect Cen Yin to have such a pleasant side.

Wen Jingzhi looked back and forth at Duanmu Fei and Cen Yin quietly, and his heart was complicated: these two people looked like righteous brothers and sisters, if it weren't for the wrong age of the fourth Duanmu girl, it would seem like Lord Cen was raising his daughter......

Wen Jingzhi's gaze paused on Cen Yin, and he couldn't help but remember that Cen Yin saw the salt patrol in the middle of last month, and forced the salt patrol to be speechless in a few words, and ordered the celebrant to follow the salt patrol and the salt classes of Jiangzhou and Jizhou, and in less than half a month, he recovered the salt tax owed before, which was a full one million taels of silver.

The patrol salt road was held accountable, not only did the black gauze hat on his head not be kept, but even the people were escorted to the capital.

Everyone knows that patrolling the salt road is fat, but the water on the salt is deep, no one expected that as soon as Cen Yinren arrived, he would do this matter vigorously, and the means were ruthless, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, and implicated many Jiangnan officials, or were dismissed or confiscated, or became prisoners.

This hand is tantamount to giving everyone a dismount, which makes Jiangnan officials respect and fear Cen Yin.

If he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes at this moment, Wen Jingzhi couldn't believe that the pleasant young man in front of him was Cen Yin.

And also......

Wen Jingzhi's gaze looked at Han Xing, who was not far away, and deliberately avoided a few steps.

Since they recognized that this was the fourth princess, Cen Yin must have recognized it too, but he turned a blind eye, and what was even more strange was that the fourth princess did not react, just like ...... It's like a dignified princess, but you also have to "respect" Cen Yin for three points.

Han Xing felt that the few eyes on the other side were really a little "dazzling", and sighed secretly in his heart: Sure enough, once this micro-service private interview is caught, it won't be fun!

Han Xing silently took two steps forward and pulled Duanmufei's sleeve, which means that he should send the people away quickly, and they should go shopping.

Duanmu Fei also wanted to slip away quickly, so he smiled obediently and arched his hand, "Young Master Cen, then my cousin and I will leave first." ”

Cen Yin smiled, and was about to open his mouth to let them take care of themselves, when a panicked voice came from the front: "Fourth aunt...... Son! Four sons! ”

With the shouting, I saw a green canopy carriage coming this way, and a familiar round face poked out of the window on the side of the carriage.

Duanmu Fei immediately recognized that this was Bi Cicada's voice and frowned.

She went out with Hanxing today without Bi Chan, and Bi Cicada suddenly ran out to look for her, could it be that something happened in the sea forest?!

Seeing a carriage rampage towards the Overseer, the chamberlain dressed as a small servant was afraid that the other party would collide with the Overseer, and was about to step forward to block the carriage, but was stopped by the little scorpion.

The little scorpion glared at the waiter, meaning, didn't you see that this was the maid of the fourth girl?!

The waiter hurriedly smiled at the little scorpion, and secretly scolded himself in his heart: Yes, not only is the starling raised by the fourth girl, but also the maid next to the fourth girl must be remembered clearly. Otherwise, if the next time the four girls asked the maid to send someone to help, and they accidentally neglected themselves, how could they be born!

Well, he will have to learn more from the little scorpion in the future. The chamberlain secretly made up his mind.

In the coachman's "call", the carriage stopped next to Duanmu Fei and Cen Yin, Bi Cicada didn't wait for the carriage to stop, and jumped off the carriage, and the anxious color that made Duanmu Fei chuckle in his heart.

"Fourth girl, the slave has finally found you." Bi Cicada didn't care about saluting anymore, and said hurriedly, "Xiaoba is sick!" "Bi Cicada has some six gods and no masters.

Not only Duanmu Fei, but even Han Xing's face changed in an instant, "Cousin Scarlet, let's go back." ”

Duanmu hurriedly said, "Gongzi Cen, let's go first." She immediately got into the carriage with the help of Bi Cicada, and Han Xing followed closely behind.

The carriage quickly turned around and galloped away in the direction it came, and as for Feipian, no one cared about it, it grabbed the reins of Hanxing's white horse, and led it to run with the carriage.

"Little Scorpion, you go and have a look." Cen Yin commanded, and the little scorpion immediately received his order.

Wen Jingzhi, Meng Zhifu and others looked at the back of the group of cars and horses leaving, they didn't know what to say at all, several people looked at each other, and there was only one question left in their hearts: Who is Xiaoba?

Duanmufei in the carriage didn't notice that the little scorpion was following, and asked Bi Chan anxiously: "Bi Chan, what's going on?" ”

Bi Cicada's little face was wrinkled together, her little mouth was flattened, and she was almost crying.

"After eating something this morning, Hachi has been nesting in the bird's nest and not going out, and the slave maid thought it was lazy at first, and she didn't care. More than half an hour ago, when Miss Kang fed it bird food, she found that Xiaoba had vomited, and the whole bird was wilting. ”

"The slave and the maid tried to feed it water, but it wouldn't drink...... Call it, and it shouldn't be. ”

"Xiaoba always likes to peck and eat everywhere in the garden on weekdays, and I don't know if it was something he ate yesterday that broke his stomach."

"Girl, it's all bad to blame the slave maid, it didn't come out to play in the morning, so you should go and take a closer look at it."

Bi Cicada bit her lower lip reproachfully, "Before the slave went out, I asked someone to help invite the veterinarian who watched the birds, and the slave and maid came to find you." ”

The carriage sped faster and faster with the sound of the cicadas crying, the sound of the wheels and the sound of the horses' hooves intermingled, and in a short time, they were back in the sea forest.

------Off topic------

I... I've changed the cover! Is this one good?
