Mrs. He looked in the direction of the setting sun, and reminded Mrs. He uneasily: "Old lady, there is a curfew soon. ”

All the prefectures in Beijing know that the current curfew is very strict, in addition to the pre-seal, there are also the eldest prince of Anding Hou's Mansion and the second master of the Zhenwu General's Mansion who were sentenced to prison for violating the curfew, and they did not show any mercy at all.

Old lady He also looked at the sunset, frowned slightly, and her eyes changed brightly and secretly, a little unwilling, but she was afraid of violating the curfew, so she said to He's: "Second sister, let's go back today and think about it for the long run." ”

He's palms hurt, and she also felt unwilling, but at this time, she didn't dare to disobey her brother and sister-in-law, if even the He family turned her away, she would really be homeless!

He Shi's face was pale, and he could only get into the carriage in a gloomy manner.

The carriage of the He family gradually drove away along Quanyu Street in the afterglow of the setting sun, disappearing into the thick twilight.

It was getting darker and darker, and night was falling again, and this night, the time passed especially slowly and painfully.

In the courtyard, the lights were bright all night, from top to bottom, and they did not dare to rest, until the first rays of dawn illuminated the eastern sky.

There's finally some movement in the inner room.

Doctor He came out of the inner room under the guidance of a maid, and after staying up all night, he looked tired and haggard, and there was a heavy green shadow in the eye sockets.

Doctor Tai He breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand to the people in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The child is temporarily saved, but then the county lord must stay in bed to recuperate, and he can't stay, and it is estimated that he will have to raise it for at least several months...... Even until production. ”

"It's too much trouble for you this time." Duanmu Xian also accompanied him all night, he got up in person, arched his hand to Imperial Physician He gratefully, and said with a polite smile, "I wonder if Imperial Physician He can live in the house for a few days?" ”

Duanmu Xian also knew that this request was difficult for a strong man, after all, he was only the first assistant, not a relative of the emperor, according to the rules, he couldn't use the imperial doctor at all, let alone detain the imperial doctor in the palace and not let him go back, besides, the imperial doctor was on duty, and he was good at gynecology, so many princesses and mothers in the palace, he naturally had to be on standby in the imperial hospital.

"Lord Duanmu is polite, it's a trivial matter, anyway, Xia Guan has not been on duty recently." Imperial Physician He responded without hesitation, opened his eyes and said nonsense, with a smile on his face that was more courteous and polite than Duanmu Xian, and said secretly: Anyway, he came to Duanmu Mansion for a visit with the consent of the Huang Yuan, and he didn't have to go to leave anymore, and he could take the opportunity to make friends with the four girls, it was so worthwhile!

Ah. No wonder the yellow calendar says that today, no, it was yesterday, it is a good day for everything! Don't lie to me!

Mrs. He thought about it beautifully, the tiredness on her body was swept away, and she suddenly felt a lot more energetic.

Duanmu Xian thanked him again and again, and hurriedly ordered the maid to take Imperial Doctor He to rest.

Imperial Physician Zhao looked at Imperial Physician He enviously, but he was not good at gynecology, so he could only watch Imperial Physician He receive this credit.

It's okay, it's okay. He secretly said in his heart, the fourth girl remembered to look for herself when she had something, missed this time, and next time, she still had a chance to make meritorious contributions!

Now that the sky was bright and the curfew was over, Imperial Doctor Zhao didn't stay long and took the initiative to leave.

Not only him, but Duanmu Xian, the two sisters, and Mo Shi also left Hanlian Courtyard one after another, planning to go back to rest, after all, they all stayed all night without sleeping.

The eldest girl Sizhu personally sent everyone out of the Hanlian Courtyard.

As soon as Duanmujun and Duanmufei came out of the Hanlian Courtyard, they saw Mama Zhang and Wisteria walking briskly towards this side.

The masters didn't go back to Zhanqing Courtyard all night, and Mama Zhang and Wisteria didn't sleep all night, and they couldn't hide their tiredness.

"Big girl," Mama Zhang glanced at the back of Duanmuxian leaving with a complicated expression, and said in a low voice, "The old lady asked the second master to be arrested from the Yunting Restaurant yesterday, and let the second master kneel in the ancestral hall, and he has been kneeling for a whole night." ”

Duanmujun just said "oh" and didn't say much.

How to deal with Duanmu Chao's own Duanmu Xian is in charge, and it is not her turn to intervene with a niece in the next room.

She was about to continue walking, when she suddenly thought of something, stopped again, and called out in a loud voice: "Sizhu." ”

Sizhu hurriedly stepped forward, Duanmu Jun stroked his sleeves, and gave a gag order in a low voice: "No one is allowed to say anything about the young grandmother's needle today, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Sizhu curtsied and saluted, but only promised: "Don't worry, big girl." The slave and maid will beat the maid in the yard alive. ”

Sizhu looked at Duanmujun gratefully, Duanmujun has always said everything in the house, and this is said by her, which is naturally more deterrent than the words of a slave maid herself.

The two sisters affectionately held hands, facing the slowly rising sun, and gradually drifted away.

The morning breeze sent Mama Zhang's distressed voice: "Big girl, fourth girl, the slave has already asked people to prepare hot water for bathing, do you want to bathe first and then rest, you can sleep better?" ”

"The slave maid also made shredded chicken porridge from the kitchen, and it is still warm on the stove......"

“……”

Sizhu watched them leave, and then turned around and returned to Hanlian Courtyard.

Although Ji Lanzhou's situation was temporarily controlled, Hanlian Courtyard and even the entire Duanmu Mansion were shrouded in a dignified atmosphere.

No matter what people say or do, they are all trembling, for fear of accidentally touching the master's mold.

At noon, the envoy of the Huang Yuan brought two imperial doctors to visit in person, and several imperial doctors gathered together to consult Ji Lanzhou, prescribe prescriptions, apply needles, and supplement incense.

The courtyard was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, lingering, and suppressed the plum fragrance in the courtyard.

It took three days for Ji Lanzhou and the fetus in her womb to escape death and stabilize temporarily.

However, Dr. He repeatedly told that before Ji Lanzhou sat down on the fetus, he could not stay, and he should take medicine every day, apply needles every other day, and pay attention not to catch a cold and get sick at this time.

Although Duanmu Chao did not come to Hanlian Academy, but someone else told him about Ji Lanzhou's situation one by one, Duanmu Chao did not expect that he would cause such a big disaster, and almost killed his future eldest grandson, he knelt in the ancestral hall for three days and three nights, and after being ordered by Duanmu Xian to practice family law, he did not dare to mention the matter of interceding with the He family.

But he is an elder and Duanmu Heng's father, so he can't pull his face to apologize to the juniors, and only asks Mo Shi to go to Hanlian Courtyard to take care of one or two.

Duanmu Chao thought about waiting for Duanmu Heng to hand him down the stairs, but Duanmu Heng's character has always been one thing to say, right and wrong are clear, and he will not be soft because Duanmu Chao is his father, in his opinion, wrong is wrong, punishment should be punished, and apology must be apologized.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei sisters go to Hanlian Courtyard to visit Ji Lanzhou every day, but sometimes Ji Lanzhou falls asleep, they look at her and leave, on this day, Ji Lanzhou happened to be awake, so they chatted a few more words.

After five days of raising, Ji Lanzhou's face visibly improved, and his lips were a little bloody.

"Lan Zhou, it's important for you to raise the fetus with peace of mind, don't think too much, just take care of yourself."

"The middle feed in the house will be handed over to me for the time being, you are so resting."

"If anyone comes to disturb you, you let Ah Heng send it for you."

Duanmu Jun earnestly admonished Ji Lanzhou on the couch.

At this moment, Duanmu Heng, who was on the other side of the screen, nodded slightly in agreement.

Through a screen, Ji Lanzhou couldn't see Duanmu Heng's face, but he could see the figure reflected on the screen nodding slightly.

In the past few days, Duanmu Heng has been by her side, and he, who has never been in good order for several years, has skipped Guozijian's class for her.

Ji Lanzhou felt a warm current in his heart, as if he was soaking in a hot spring, warm and comfortable.

Although she was sick, she had a contradictory feeling of "she had never been so good", her mood was surprisingly calm, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart telling her that she would get through it, and she and the child would get through it.

The corners of Ji Lanzhou's lips curled slightly, and said with a smile: "I escaped death this time, and when the child is born in the future, whether it is male or female, the nickname will be Xiang Sheng." ”

Duanmujun and Duanmufei saw that Ji Lanzhou would still joke, and their hearts were relieved, and they were also infected with her smile.

Duanmu smiled and took the initiative to ask: "Sister-in-law, after the little nephew is born, I will help you bring it!" ”

Thinking of the pink and soft little ball, Duanmu's scarlet heart was about to melt, his eyes were shining, and he said beautifully:

"Sister-in-law, I can make him small clothes, small shoes, small hats, and little starlings and little fox puppets."

"When he is three or four years old, I can enlighten him and teach him to write, play the piano, and draw."

"By the way, I can also teach him to kick shuttlecocks, throw pots, ......"

Duanmu Fei thought about it beautifully, but Sizhu and a few maids showed very subtle expressions, and said in their hearts: Did the fourth girl forget that she was going to marry this year, and she should get married next year!

Duanmujun also thought of a direction, but what she considered was that in case the marriage between her sister and Mu Yan failed, she could slowly pick a new marriage for her sister, and her sister could also stay in the house for a few more years, just so that she could play with her little nephew.

Ji Lanzhou's body was still weak, and Duanmujun and Duanmufei didn't stay for long, and they said goodbye after a stick of incense with her.

After returning to Zhanqing Courtyard, Duanmufei pushed Duanmujun to the direction of the inner room, "Sister, you go and rest for a while." ”

Since Ji Lanzhou was bedridden five days ago, Duanmujun has been in charge of all the housekeeping in the house, and he is so busy every day that his feet don't touch the ground. I was also busy for most of the day today, so I had time to visit Ji Lanzhou with Duanmufei.

Duanmujun refused to go any further, turned his head to look out the window, "Zhenzhen, let's go pick up Xiaoba." ”

In the past few days, because of Ji Lanzhou's incident, her nerves have been collapsing, even when she sleeps, she can't sleep very well, and she is physically and mentally exhausted, and now she can be regarded as putting most of her heart down.

She suddenly wanted to see him!

I really want to think about it......

Duanmujun looked at the west-slanting sunset outside the window, the corners of her lips were raised high, her smile was bright and sweet, and the light of the sunset was reflected in her pupils, shining like a ruby.

Of course, Duanmu Fei knew where her sister was going to pick up the little starling, so she also laughed, and couldn't wait to respond crisply: "Sister, I'll go get the paper kite." ”

Duanmu Fei personally went to the small study to get the unicorn paper kite that their sisters made together, and then the sisters went to the Yimen hand in hand and set off in a carriage.

The streets were very empty at dusk, and the carriage came all the way to Cen Mansion unimpeded.

Although Cen Yin hadn't come back yet, the sisters were still welcomed into the house for the first time.

"Duanmu girl, fourth girl, go this way."

After hearing the news, a kind-looking chamberlain ran to greet the guests as fast as he could, and greeted the two distinguished guests in the direction of the main hall.

"Quack!"

In the distance, the little starling saw them, flapped his wings and flew over, hovering happily above their heads.

It chirped cheerfully and excitedly, seemingly completely unaware that it was a runaway bird.

Behind the little starling, another eleven or twelve-year-old little attendant was panting after it, for fear that it would fly away again in the next moment.

The kind-looking chamberlain frowned quietly, thinking that this child was really useless, he couldn't even see a bird, didn't this surprise make the fourth girl see a joke?!

"Hachi!" Duanmufei raised her left arm and pointed at her left arm with her right hand, and the little starling immediately realized it and stopped steadily on her forearm.

The heavy weight made Duanmu Fei raise his right eyebrows, turned his head to Duanmu Jun and said, "Sister, Xiaoba is fat again!" ”

"Meimei!"

The little starling didn't know if he understood, so he screamed twice, jumped along Duanmufei's left arm in the direction of her shoulder, jumped all the way to her shoulder, and rubbed Duanmufei's little face with the bird's head, and the oily and slippery black feathers tickled the junction between her neck and chin.

Duanmu Fei "giggled" and laughed non-stop.

After the little starling rubbed Duanmufei, he flapped his wings and flew to Duanmuxuan's shoulder, and rubbed her affectionately.

Duanmu Jun raised his hand and touched the little starling's neck, along his back to the tail feathers.

The little starling was very useful, and shouted a few times at Duanmu in intoxication, and after a while, it began to jump to its feet, repeatedly shouting "bad, bad", with an indignant look, as if it had thought of something unhappy.

Duanmujun and Duanmufei couldn't understand what the little starling was saying, but the two attendants on the side knew a thing or two.

The eleven or twelve-year-old little chamberlain silently lowered his head and looked at the tips of his shoes, he was responsible for taking care of this little starling every day, of course, he knew how clever this starling was, and how bad it was, and watched people cook.

It was pretty good for a few days, and every day it was either eating, playing, or sleeping, and gradually seeing that everyone was following it, it began to misbehave, not only deliberately pecking at the overseer's clothes and pen, but also deliberately making a compliment in the house, and the overseer was conniving at first, and suddenly made rules for it a few days ago......

Later, the bird obediently pecked at their clothes in front of the Overseer, and now it is good that when the four girls come, they have learned to sue without a teacher!

"Back! Return! ”

The little starling screamed excitedly, expressing its earnest desire to go home.

However, Duanmujun and Duanmufei didn't understand at all.

Duanmu Jun said happily: "Zhen Zhen, look, Xiaoba has learned another word!" ”

Duanmujun gently touched the little starling, his eyes were shining, and he said in his heart: Cen Gongzi is still powerful, the little starling taught himself for a few years before he learned four words, but it didn't take long for him to come to Cen Gongzi, and he learned several words!

"Hachi is so smart!" Duanmu Fei said perfunctorily without sincerity, thinking that the parrot of the Dangui family is much smarter than this stupid bird, and he can recite poetry!

The kind-looking waiter was afraid that if the little starling continued to talk about it, Duanmujun and Duanmufei would hear that something was wrong, so he said with a smile: "Duanmu girl, fourth girl, it's windy here, let's go to the hall and talk." ”

The waiter stretched out his hand to make an invitation, respectfully invited Duanmufei and Duanmujun into the main hall, and politely served tea and snacks.

"Duanmu eldest girl, fourth girl, the overseer usually doesn't come back until the beginning of the unitary period, and please wait here for a while."

The waiter was afraid that Duanmu Fei would be bored, so he cautiously asked her if she wanted to listen to a little song, or he asked the kitchen to prepare some food, and then said that the spring flowers, apricot blossoms, February orchids, and Ruixiang in the garden have opened one after another......

The little starling thought he was noisy, and interrupted him with a louder voice, jumping up and down the small square table between Duanmujun and Duanmufei, trying to attract their attention.

Duanmu Fei looked at the restless stupid bird in front of him, and his heart was indescribable, and he felt ashamed that his own child was really embarrassing.

The little starling didn't know what Duanmu Fei was thinking, so he tried hard to complain to the sisters and made various gestures, such as it was locked in a cage and couldn't get out, such as not giving it food, such as not allowing it to peck things......

However, no matter how much it does, it is useless, and the sisters see and listen but do not understand.

In the hall, only the noisy call and bouncing sound of a bird remained of the little starling......

After about two cups of tea, someone came in a hurry and said, "The Overseer has returned." ”

At the same time as the words fell, the little starling immediately flapped his wings and flew out of the hall, shouting: "Quack! ”

Not only did Duanmujun and Duanmufei know that Cen Yin was back, but at this moment, Cen Yin, who had just entered the door, had already received a report from the concierge and knew that the sisters were visiting together.

Cen Yin didn't think about it and came in the direction of the main hall, his feet reacted faster than his brain, and when he came back to his senses, he had already come to a place only seven or eight feet away from the main hall.

From his point of view, he could already see Duanmujun in the main hall, Duanmujun was talking to Duanmuxuan with his face sideways, and a gentle smile was on the corner of his lips.

In the next moment, the little starling happily flew above Cen Yin, "croaking" non-stop.

Duanmu Jun heard the sound and looked in the direction of Cen Yin.

She smiled brighter, like a half-blooming delicate flower blooming in an instant, so bright that she could barely look directly at her in the sun, and at the same time she was so conflicted that she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Duanmu Fei also saw Cen Yin and waved his hand happily at Cen Yin.

After a brief flash, Cen Yin continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened, and the little starling flew around him affectionately, following him like a shadow.

When he walked to the eaves, the little chamberlain carefully untied the dark cloak embroidered with a unicorn on Cen Yin's body, and said secretly in his heart: This starling brother is really two-faced, obviously he still complained to the fourth girl, but now he is flattering the overseer!

Duanmu Fei looked at this harmonious person and one bird, and exchanged a look with Duanmu Jun with a smile: Xiaoba really likes Cen Gongzi!

Truly! Duanmu Jun nodded sympathetically, his gaze lingered on the cloak he made with his own hands for a moment, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and his eyebrows and eyes outlined a satisfied arc.

She wanted to make him another spring dress, well, in spring, it should be good to wear bright bamboo leaf cyan or royal blue.

Duanmujun's eyes brightened.

Cen Yin walked into the hall unhurriedly, and when he got closer, he found that Duanmujun's face was a little haggard, and his expression couldn't hide his tiredness.

Cen Yin's brows moved slightly, and his narrow eyes were extremely deep, but they were silent.

Duanmu said with a smile: "Master Cen, my sister and I are here to send you paper kites!" ”

Duanmu Fei spoke with a bit of treasure in his demeanor, raised his finger and pointed to the unicorn paper kite next to him, "This is the skeleton of my sister, the unicorn I painted!" ”

The unicorn painted on the paper kite integrates the lion's head, antlers, tiger's eyes, elk's body, dragon scales, and oxtail, and opens its mouth to howl, revealing a mouthful of fangs, and its body is covered with golden scales, shining, and its appearance looks majestic.

Of course, the two attendants in the hall also saw this unicorn, and secretly said in their hearts: It is worthy of the fourth girl! This unicorn is so stunningly drawn, the four girls really have a heart, no wonder the Overseer loves her so much!

Seeing that everyone's eyes fell on the unicorn paper kite, the little starling felt that he was being ignored, flapped his wings and flew over, jumping around the paper kite, wanting the sisters and Cen Yin to look at it and play with it.

Duanmujun thought that the little starling wanted to play with paper kites, and said with a smile: "Master Cen, Zhen Zhen, how about we try this paper kite?" ”

"Okay, while it's still dark, let's try this paper kite!" Duanmufei stood up and immediately stroked his palms in agreement.

Cen Yin naturally had no objections, so the group left the main hall and went in the direction of the garden, and the little starling also flapped his wings and chased after him, screaming non-stop "quack, quack", unwilling to be lonely and declare his sense of existence.

The little waiter who was in charge of taking care of the little starling hurriedly chased after him, and said to Duanmu Fei diligently: "Fourth girl, the little one will take the paper kite for you." Speaking of putting paper kites, it's not a small boast, the small one is a master! ”

The little chamberlain was excited, but he didn't expect that his ability to put paper kites would give him the opportunity to show his face in front of the four girls.

This is really a chance, and I can't stop it!

The little chamberlain laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed.

A few people walked all the way in the direction of the setting sun, and they came to the small garden located on the west side of Cen Mansion.

The afterglow of the setting sun casts a golden-red glow in the garden, gilding the flowers and trees in the garden with a faint halo and brilliant colors.

The little waiter tried the direction of the wind, and then found an open place by the small lake in the garden, held the unicorn paper kite high with both hands, and said, "Fourth girl, the wind is just right today, you can run slowly along the lakeside against the wind." The small one helps you watch. ”

Duanmu Fei held the spool of the paper kite in one hand and the thread in the other, and began to run forward eagerly......

The little chamberlain also trotted up after her, and when the gust of wind came, he let the paper kite fly away from his hand and into the wind.

As he ran, he pointed to Duanmu Fei and said, "Fourth girl, while you run, slowly release the line." ”

"It's almost, it's time to stop...... Slowly release the thread so that the paper kite rises a little higher. ”

"Now shake the lead back and forth to stabilize the paper kite."

"Now the wind is not in a hurry, four girls, you go in that direction and reel in the line a little......"

In a few moments, the unicorn paper kite flew steadily in the sky, its golden scales shining in the light of the setting sun.

The little starling thought it was very interesting, and also flew into the air with the paper kite, flying around the paper kite with great interest.

"Fly! Fly! It's the first time I've put a paper kite in the sky so quickly. Duanmu Fei looked up at the paper kite in the air, his little face was bright, and he turned his head to look at the little attendant, "What's your name?" ”

The little waiter was overjoyed, and hurriedly replied: "The little one's name is Liang Xi, and the fourth girl can be called the little little Xizi." ”

"Quack!"

The little starling in the air screamed in a high-pitched voice and mischievously slapped the paper kite with his wings.

"Hachi, don't make trouble!" Duanmu Fei hurriedly pulled the lead and pulled the paper kite to the other side, and the little starling chased the paper kite relentlessly.

Cen Yin and Duanmu Jun stopped at the entrance of the garden, and watched with a smile on their eyebrows as Duanmu pulled the lead of the paper kite and gradually moved away......

The breeze at the beginning of February was chilly and breezy, blowing the cloaks on the two of them flying, hunting sounds, and a few green bamboos next to them swayed, and a few bamboo leaves fell with the wind.

Cen Yin saw that a bamboo leaf happened to fall on Duanmu's sideburns, and without thinking about it, he stretched out his hand and took a thin bamboo leaf from her green silk.

When the bamboo leaf was between his fingers, Cen Yin was sluggishly aware of what he had just done, and said unnaturally: "You have a bamboo leaf on your head......" He tried to explain something.

Duanmu Jun seemed to have heard it suddenly, his eyes chased Cen Yin's hand, looking at the bamboo leaf that was sandwiched between his knuckles, the verdant bamboo leaves lined his white knuckles as delicate and flawless as jade bamboo.

Hmm, she was right, Zhu Yeqing was really suitable for him.

She pursed her lips, her eyes sparkled like jewels, and she said in her heart: Well, this spring dress will be made of bamboo leaf blue!

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

The amount of updates is not how many chapters have been read, but how many words have been changed......

If I divide it into two thousand words and one chapter, you will have to run four times a day in the morning, noon and evening to brush up on the update, how troublesome it is.
