141 noble concubines
"Wu Chen's son.? Follow? Dream?. lΔβ
Although Wuyang, Hanxing and other girls were noble, they all gave half a salute out of respect for Wen Wuchen.
Feng Yan introduced Wuyang and them to Wen Wuchen respectively, and after some greetings, Wen Wuchen raised his eyes again and looked at Duanmu Fei, and directly invited: "I heard that the four girls of Duanmu are very good at chess, can you talk to me about a game?" β
As soon as Wen Wuchen invited Duanmu Fei to play chess, the other girls were all bright, even more excited than Duanmu Fei, and they all looked at her without blinking, as if urging, hurry up and agree!
In their burning gaze, Duanmu Fei couldn't help but bend the corners of his lips, and arched his hand in response: "Please also ask Wuchen Gongzi for advice." β
Wen Wuchen smiled and said, "I am temporarily living in the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping, so I will bother the girl to go with me." β
Duanmu Fei thinks he is a junior, of course, he is as good as a stream.
So, everyone got out of the champion building, got into their own carriages, and the four carriages galloped all the way towards the princess's mansion on Zhongchen Street, Feng Yan was supposed to be on duty, but as soon as he saw his Zhenzhen, where could he take care of any errands, and he rode away together.
Wuyang's black-lacquered flat-topped carriage looked ordinary, but it was carefully designed and built by the Inner Court Division, and it was extremely smooth to fly, and the four sisters of Wuyang, Hanxing and Duanmu Fei sat in it and it was very spacious.
As they talked, they ate sour plums, occasionally opening the curtains to look at the scenery outside the carriage.
In the wax moon, the capital gradually began to have the flavor of the New Year, and you can see the guys shouting and selling New Year's goods on both sides of the street, as well as the carriage carrying the New Year's goods galloping on the street.
Han Xing watched with relish through the car window on the right, and suddenly, she tilted her head, pointed to a certain alley in front of her right, and said, "The house that my father rewarded the eldest sister with the emperor last time should be here." β
Wuyang leaned over to Han Xing's side, glanced at her line of sight, and said, "It should be here." As she spoke, she looked at Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei and smiled happily, "When this house is repaired, the main palace will be the east, please come and play together!" β
"When the time comes, my sister and I will make some snacks that you like to eat, Sister Wuyang, and we will all enjoy the flowers, drink tea and eat snacks together." Duanmu smiled and clasped his hands, his smile bright and cute.
"That's great! Hongu also wants such a house. Han Xing sighed enviously, looking at the alley behind him that was gradually moving away, his eyes shining like stars.
Wuyang glanced at Han Xing, and deliberately said seriously: "Don't worry." When you've picked a colt, you'll have it. Your princess's mansion must be more exquisite and gorgeous than this small mansion in this palace. β
The ridicule in Wuyang's words was overflowing, causing Hanxing's cheeks to turn crimson and delicate.
"Sister Emperor," Han Xing pouted, and retorted in a coquettish voice, "You are the imperial sister, even if you want to choose, you should pick first." β
The two sisters made a mess, causing Duanmujun and Duanmufei on the side to look at each other and smile, and laughter like silver bells came from time to time in the carriage.
The laughter of the girls was intertwined with the sound of horses' hooves, light and hearty, which seemed to add a bit of warmth to the howling cold wind.
Listening to Duanmu Fei's happy laughter, Feng Yan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face rippled in circles like ripples on the water, and he couldn't stop it......
Half an hour later, a group of carriages and horses came to the mansion of the eldest princess of Anping.
The princess's mansion, which is quite depressed and cold on weekdays, instantly poured into a spring-like vitality due to the arrival of these cardamom girls.
In the east room of Yuhua Hall, after the girls saluted Anping, they sat down one after another, talking with Anping, and at a glance, the clothes were fragrant and the temples were shadowy, and the laughter was noisy.
Wen Wuchen gave an order, and a wooden chessboard was quickly set up, and the chessboard was dotted with black and white chess pieces, and it was an unfinished endgame.
Several people present at this endgame recognized it.
"Sister Scarlet, isn't this the chess game you set up in the Hunting Palace?" Wuyang smiled and said, then suddenly realized.
It turned out that Wen Wuchen said that he heard that Duanmu Fei's chess skills were brilliant because of this endgame!
When the famous Wuchen Gongzi faces the unsolvable endgame of Shangduan Mufei, what will be the result? !
Duanmu Fei and Wen Wuchen sat down across the chessboard, Wen Wuchen held the sunspot, Duanmu Fei held the white child, the two looked at each other and smiled, and the sunspot fell first.
"December, five."
Duanmu's small mouth bent and fell without hesitation.
"Fourteen pheasants, seven."
Wen Wuchen stared at the chessboard in front of him, did not move for a while, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and finally raised his hand and fell.
"Seventeen stars, three, rush."
Seeing this, Feng Yan and An Ping couldn't help but glance at each other, probably only their mother and son knew that Wen Wuchen's method had changed.
On that day, when Wen Wuchen and Feng Yan were playing, the first sunspot also fell on the position of "December, Five", but the second son changed from the beginning, not only the position of the faller, but also the way to break the game......
It seems that he really didn't underestimate their family's scarlet! An Ping winked at Feng Yan with a smile, but Feng Yan was silent with a smile.
By the window, one large and one small sitting in front of the chessboard, all with slightly hooked corners of their mouths, looking like fairies.
You are a son, I am a son, both of them are extremely slow, and it is clear that every step is well thought out.
Soon, a stick of incense time passed.
The two people who played chess did not move like a mountain, the clouds were light and the wind was light, but the chessboard was full of murderous opportunities, Feng Yan and An Ping were interested, but Han Xing, Yunhua, and Danyang, who were not good at chess, began to feel bored.
Seeing that the little girls were excited, An Ping smiled and said: "Wuyang, Hanxing, Yunhua, Dangui, and Duanmu girl, why don't you go to the garden with the palace." β
As she spoke, she glanced at Duanmu Fei and Wen Wuchen, "This game of chess will definitely not be finished in an hour." "I'm afraid an hour is still a relatively conservative estimate.
As soon as he heard that this game of chess would take more than an hour, Han Xing couldn't help but widen his eyes, and secretly spoke, and the awe of Anping in his heart was overwhelmed at once.
She stood up without hesitation and beckoned to the others: "I heard that the garden on the Imperial Aunt's Mansion is a must, spring, summer, autumn and winter, each with its own merits. β
Seeing this, Wuyang, Duanmujun, Yunhua and Dangui also stood up in turn, and accepted Anping's kindness as well.
A few of them quickly hugged An Ping out of the east room, laughing and walking away.
The room fell silent as they went away, leaving only Duanmu Fei, Wen Wuchen, and Feng Yan in the game.
The crisp sound of falling children is staggered with the occasional swaying of branches and leaves outside the window, and time seems to have slowed down, leisurely as the wind, and quiet as water.
"Smack. Syllable. Syllable. β
The sound of falling children grew slower and slower, and the intervals grew longer and longer, until they fell into a long silence......
Duanmu Fei looked at the dense black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, exhaled, and said with a smile: "Master Wuchen, it really deserves its reputation." β
"I just narrowly won." Jun Wuchen smiled slightly.
He is not modest, he did win this game narrowly, but it was just a win.
Even, again, it's hard to say who wins and who loses.
Although this Duanmu girl is young, her chess strength is quite thick, not only good at layout, but also quite tricky chess style, often surprised, seemingly dangerous, but she has a back hand, thoughtful...... Her calculations should be extremely strong!
Judging from her chess move, Ah Yan said that the Li family's plan must have come from her hands, not just words.
That kind of unexpected and decisive style of acting is indeed like this little girl.
After playing chess, Duanmu Fei was in a good mood, except for her grandfather, Mrs. Chu, she hadn't played against people so happily for a long time.
She habitually began to pack up the pieces on the chessboard, the corners of her mouth curved, and a pair of shallow pear vortices appeared on her fair cheeks.
Seeing that this little girl lost chess but didn't seem to care at all, Wen Wuchen raised her eyebrows, and inevitably showed a hint of surprise. Young geniuses are often young and arrogant, but this Duanmu fourth girl is young, but she is open-minded and sees it thoroughly.
"Wuchen." Feng Yan helped Duanmu Fei collect the white seeds together, and said casually, "Today's champion building is still interesting?" β
The Five Cities Terracotta Division also has a lot of eyeliner in the capital, almost as soon as those students just started to talk about the government, Feng Yan got the news, so he ran over to see the excitement in the name of tolerance, but he didn't expect even Zhen Zhen to go......
Wen Wuchen hesitated for a moment, looked at Duanmu Fei, who was cleaning up the chess pieces with his eyes down, and then looked at Feng Yan's natural attitude, he was a little stunned for a while, and said lightly: "Although he is a scholar, he is not afraid of power. β
Feng Yan's dark phoenix eyes were gloomy and gloomy, and he changed his words and said, "...... I just got the news that Changqing robbed a student who came to catch the exam, and the student was humiliated and committed suicide yesterday. β
Changqing is Feng Yan's aunt, but Feng Yan calls her by her name contemptuously, with only mockery in her expression and no trace of respect.
Anyway, some people don't have the demeanor of their elders when they act on their own!
Hearing this, Duanmu's petite figure stiffened, and his long eyelashes trembled twice like cicada wings, and the secret was not good.
This first talked about the champion building, and then talked about the eldest princess of Changqing, and it was all related to students...... If you want to say that these two people don't plan to take the opportunity to do something, you can't believe it if you kill her!
In this way, she seems to be ...... Maybe I've heard something I shouldn't have heard again, and my little life seems to be a little dangerous again.
Thinking about it, her right eyelid jumped twice quickly.
As the saying goes, the right eye jumps to disaster......
Duanmu Fei pinched the white chess pieces in his hand, raised his eyes and smiled: "It's not too early to ......."
She didn't even have a chance to say the last two words, Feng Yan interrupted her directly, and said with a smile: "It's still early, my mother has already asked the kitchen to prepare sugar water snacks, wait for Sister Ling and Wuyang to come back and eat together." β
He smiled gently and casually, for him, it was rare for Zhen Zhen to come to the mansion, how could he leave so quickly! He recently found a chef who is good at making dim sum, and of course he wants Zhen Zhen to try her hand at the new chef's skills.
However, when these words were heard in Duanmu Fei's ears, she felt that Feng Yan seemed to be reminding her: Your sister is still in the princess's mansion, are you sure you want to run alone?!
Duanmu Fei's facial features wrinkled together in an instant, and she sighed faintly in her heart with a bitter little face: She was basically on the thief ship of Feng Yan, and she couldn't get down!
She reluctantly put the few white seeds in her hand into the chess box, and when the chess pieces fell, there was a crisp sound.
"Da Da Da ......"
The sound of the chess pieces colliding with the chess pieces echoed in her ears, and she felt as if something in her heart had fallen with it......
After a while, Anping came back with Wuyang and the others, all of them in high spirits.
Duanmu Fei was still slowly packing up the last few pieces on the chessboard, and he cried with joy when he saw them.
An Ping's eyes fell on the little girl's soft fingertips pinching Baizi, and her heart moved, and she smiled and took a few steps closer to her.
"Scarlet, your fingers look a little stiff, but they're frozen? Come, take this hand stove and it won't be cold. As he spoke, An Ping took out an octagonal cloisonnΓ© enamel handstove from his sleeve and handed it to Duanmu Fei casually.
Duanmu was stunned, she was afraid of the cold, but there was silver bone charcoal burning in this room, and she didn't feel cold at all.
However, it was just a hand stove, and she would not shirk An Ping's kindness, so she got up and took it, "Thank you, Your Highness." β
The small hand stove was warm and delicately made, so that her eyes couldn't help but linger on it.
Seeing this, the corners of An Ping's mouth curled slightly, and he winked his right eye at his son, meaning, you are welcome, she helped him send the hand stove out openly.
Feng Yan was dumbfounded, this octagonal hand stove has a gorgeous and bright butterfly play flower pattern, which he originally specially picked for An Ping, and what he prepared for Duanmu Fei was a small and interesting pumpkin-shaped hand stove...... Besides, he wants to give him Zhenzhen with his own hands!
It was just a small hand stove, and the rest of the room didn't care, and laughed again.
Duanmu went to the princess's mansion empty-handed, and when he returned to Shangshu Mansion, he had a warm hand stove in his sleeve.
After returning home, Duanmu Scarlet's heart felt a little settled, and at this moment, thinking back to what happened in the princess's mansion, she still wanted to cry without tears, and silently wept for herself in her heart.
Duanmujun was full of interest, and affectionately took Duanmufei's arm and walked in the direction of Zhanqing Courtyard, and said with a smile:
"Zhen Zhen, it's a pity that you didn't go with us just now, the conservatory in the princess's mansion is as warm as spring, and the flowers are in full bloom."
"There is also a red plum grove in the northwest of the garden, which will definitely look better when it snows......
"Zhen Zhen, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess of Anping is really gentle, and she just said that let our sisters go for a walk more if they have nothing to do and talk to her."
Hearing her sister say that Anping has a "gentle" temperament, Duanmu was almost choked by saliva, and Anping's teaching to her couldn't help but echo in her mind: "Women should be self-reliant, self-reliant, self-respecting and self-loving, whoever dares to be rude to you, just whip it over!" β
The corners of Duanmu's mouth raised, his eyes lit up, and he echoed: "Well, when it's empty, we'll go." "It's just that you must pick up Feng Yan's absence!
"Whew-whew-"
The cold wind howled and blew, piercing the skin like needles, and the bare trees swayed in the cold wind, occasionally rolling up a few residual leaves and flying in the air.
Day by day, the weather is getting colder and colder, the cold wind is raging, and there are fewer and fewer people on the streets.
Duanmufei and the others can stay at home and not go out, but Duanmuxian has to go to the morning court every morning, and after the dynasty is dispersed, he has to go to the household yamen to be on duty.
Of course, the household yamen is for charcoal, but this charcoal is not enough, the weather this winter is colder than in previous years, and the charcoal fire can only be used tightly, it really can't drive away the cold, every day when he returns home, Duanmuxian's hands are a little stiff, and he has to roast for a while to slowly warm up.
Duanmufei was the first to notice, although Duanmuxian is well maintained on weekdays, but he is also the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, seeing that he is about to be frostbitten, Duanmufei discussed with his sister Duanmujun and sent a cart of silver bone charcoal to the household yamen.
Duanmuxian is the head of the household, if he just sends charcoal, he can't give some points to his subordinates who are also frozen. The charcoal hoarded in the house is also limited, and it must not be able to provide the entire household for a cold winter, so in addition to the charcoal, Duanmujun also deliberately asked the people to send two large pots of hot ginger soup every afternoon......
In this way, the subordinates have ginger soup, and the charcoal fire can also be used by Duanmuxian himself.
Some ginger soup is not worth much, but in this cold winter, having a bowl of hot ginger soup every day for a few days is enough to make the whole household yamen feel very comfortable.
Duanmuxian was in a good mood, and when the juniors came to ask for peace, he praised in front of everyone without hesitation: "Sister Jun, you have managed the housekeeping of the house well. He stroked his beard and praised directly in front of everyone, "I have been in the household department for so many years, and I have passed a few cold winters, and I have never been so comfortable as this year." β
Duanmujun owed to Duanmuxian, "Thank you grandfather for your praise, my granddaughter didn't dare to take credit, it was Zhen Zhen who reminded her granddaughter...... "Her sister is the most well-behaved and caring!"
Duanmu Xian couldn't hide his smile and said, "You two help each other, you are careful and thoughtful, very good." Duanmu Xian let out a hearty laugh as he spoke, "In the future, I will be relieved that the middle feed in this mansion will be handed over to you." β
The house is sending charcoal and ginger soup again, although the movement is not big, but it still can't hide the eyes of people with hearts.
He's face became even more ugly, the corners of his mouth were pursed, he clutched the Buddha beads in his hand tightly, and said in his heart: It's just a few pots of ginger soup, and the old lady is too easily deceived by this pair of cunning sisters!
She didn't want to listen to Duanmu Xian's praise of the two sisters anymore, so she skillfully intercepted Duanmu Xian's words and changed the topic: "Old lady, there are five days left on the tenth day of December, and the girl from Mo Shilang's family in the Ministry of Rites is about to pass through the door, and the invitations have been dispersed...... It's just, old lady, this is just a second room, is it inappropriate to have a big banquet? β
Originally, there was naturally no need to raise the teacher to take a concubine, but Duanmuxian deliberately wanted to promote this Mo girl this time, and it was also to give Mo Shilang face, so he did it......
Duanmuxian picked up the pastel teacup, glanced at He's slantedly, slowly blew a few floating leaves on the tea soup, and after taking a sip of tea, he said lightly: "The second daughter-in-law's 'illness' is always not good, and she can't see guests, but the second daughter still needs to walk back and forth between other mansions, and it is not a way to go on for a long time." Therefore, just let people know that our family attaches great importance to Miss Mo, and it will be easy to move around in the future. β
When it came to Xiao He's "illness", there was silence all around, and the face of the second old man Duanmu Chao inevitably showed a trace of stiffness, and the others looked away, just as if they hadn't heard.
"......" He's face was blue and white for a while, but he couldn't answer anymore.
Duanmujun and Duanmufei didn't talk to each other from beginning to end, after all, the family matter was decided by Duanmuxian, and the second uncle couldn't take their turn to intervene in the second room.
For the noble concubines in the Duanmu period, Duanmu Mansion does pay more attention to it, and it is inevitable that some people will talk about it in private, talking about the renovated house, talking about the furniture, and talking about the dishes at the banquet, all of them sigh that this is probably no different from a small family marrying a wife.
Rao is mansion is rumoring, Xiao He's family is still closed, as if his heart is like ashes.
On the ninth day of December, the day before the happy event, Miss Mo's dowry was delivered.
Miss Mo delayed the flowering period because of filial piety, and the Mo family gave a very generous dowry in order to compensate her daughter, on the surface, it was thirty-two lifts, but the contents of the box were so full that the lid of the box almost couldn't be closed.
Miss Mo's yard has been cleaned up, and when the dowry was carried into the courtyard, many people ran to see the excitement, only to see the seemingly simple reddish-brown camphor wood box in the gold and silver jewelry, silk and satin, ceramics and pewter, etc., all of them were embarrassed when they came out, this said that the Mo family was really rich, and that said that the thirty-two dowries were comparable to the sixty-four dowries when the second lady first married in.
The mansion was lively for a while for the dowry, and he was even more curious about the Mo family who was about to pass through the door.
The Mo family is the second room of the Duanmu Dynasty, and she is a noble concubine, although it is different from the ordinary concubine room, but she is not a wife after all. Originally, taking a concubine was something that a girl like Duanmujun who had not left the cabinet should not be involved, but now she is in charge of the house's internal affairs and has to assist the He family from the side.
After checking the details of tomorrow's welcome and banquet with the housekeepers, and sending the people away, Duanmujun rubbed his shoulders a little tiredly.
At this time, a burst of sweet tea fragrance came from the direction of the door curtain, and Duanmu Fei walked out of the blue gauze cabinet with a red lacquered wooden tray in his hand, with two cups of tea on the tray, and the fragrance of tea rose with the heat.
"Sister, I made you chrysanthemum ginseng tea, which can be used to refresh your eyes. Sister, I specially added a little osmanthus honey candy, it is very sweet, you can try the taste. β
Duanmufei personally brought the cup of flower tea to Duanmujun, Duanmujun was very ironed in his heart, this flower tea has not been drunk, and he has already felt fatigued and swept away.
The sisters slowly drank the flower tea, the tea has the unique aroma and bitterness of ginseng, and after adding honey, it became easier to eat, and suddenly, there were two "quacks" outside the window, and the little starling flapped his wings and smelled the fragrance.
After two months of eating and drinking with Duanmu Fei, the little starling was a little bigger than when Feng Yan was handed over to her, and his black feathers became thicker and thicker, and his voice was loud.
It's just that Duanmujun has been teaching for almost a month, and it still only says "quack".
After the little starling spread his wings and flew half a circle in the room, he stopped beside Duanmujun, "quacked" twice, and stared at Duanmujun with amber-like eyes for a moment, as if asking, what are you eating?
This little starling is a person who watches people cook, since he came to Shangshu Mansion on the fifteenth day of last month, he found that compared to his little master, Duanmujun is obviously better to talk, so when the sisters sit together, it will deliberately lean towards Duanmujun.
Of course, Duanmu Jun also knew this, and felt interesting in his heart, so he cooperatively instructed Wisteria to get him a bowl of chrysanthemum ginseng tea.
The little starling leaned over curiously, pecked with his long pointed beak, and then made a strange sound of "quacking", as if he was frightened and flapped his wings, and in a panic, a black feather fell off his wings, and it fluttered down......
The little starling flew all the way to the window sill, and then squatted there and looked back and forth at Duanmujun and Duanmufei with a strange look, as if to say, you just eat this thing?!
Bi Chan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said: "Big girl, fourth girl, Xiao Ba Cheng is worried about the food in our bowl, so it should be made to suffer a little, so as not to become more and more lawless." β
Wisteria also laughed out loud, and the maids laughed, but Hachi didn't know that they were making fun of herself, so she just tilted her bird's head, looked at the girls in the room, and after a while, she flapped her wings and flew away in the direction of the setting sun......
The sun was setting, the day passed in a busy way, and the tenth day of December arrived.
For this happy event of Duanmu Dynasty, the mansion specially set up a banquet to entertain the guests, invited relatives and friends, as well as some subordinate officials of Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Chao father and son, to come to drink the wedding wine, and set up more than a dozen tables inside and out.
In front, Duanmu greeted his relatives, friends and colleagues, and in the back, He greeted those ladies, and Duanmu was only responsible for greeting a dozen or so girls and sons of relatives and friends to play in the big flower hall in the garden.
Everyone ate tea and talked together, and soon felt a little bored, and a young man proposed: "Last time I was in the hunting palace, it was very interesting to watch Jun Shizi and them play shooting, let's play too." β
"Shoot well." A girl in pink clapped her hands and echoed, "Everyone can play." β
This game is suitable for both men and women, and it is not too difficult, so it is best to kill time.
The other sons and girls also chimed in, and Duanmu immediately ordered the maid to prepare some dishes, pen and ink, and trays.
As he spoke, he saw Duanmu Heng belatedly entering the flower hall with a tall blue-clothed young man.
The young man is dressed very formally today, wearing an indigo treasure flower carved silk brocade robe, wearing a black embroidered jasper belt at the waist, pinning a jade ring and a white gourd-shaped embroidered purse on the belt.
It was Li Tingyu.
Seeing Li Tingyou coming, Duanmujun hurriedly took Duanmufei to get up to greet him, and specially introduced Li Tingyou to other people in the flower hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen, forgive me for being a step late, and I'll punish myself with three glasses later." Li Tingyou politely arched his hand to those boys and girls.
"Li Gongzi is very polite." Several sons said with a smile.
The girl in pink smiled and invited, "Li Gongzi, we are about to play shooting, do you want to play with us?" β
"I'm just scratching this shot, and I ask for your advice." Li Tingyou's smile is gentle and bright, which makes people feel good at first glance.
Those girls were secretly surprised, with a spring on their faces, and quietly turned their heads and ears, only to feel that Li Tingyou's demeanor was so gentle and elegant, not like a military general, but more handsome than those literati students.
The whispers of the girls naturally avoided those men, but they inevitably entered Duanmu Fei's ears, she raised her eyebrows, and said in her heart: This guy is quite capable of bluffing people when he pretends to be.
After the next person prepared the dishes, pen and ink and trays, everyone greeted each other and played, the first few rounds, everyone was still a little reserved, unable to let go of their hands and feet, until the fourth round, a little boy put a bite of a piece of pastry upside down in the bowl, but was the fifth girl Duanmu Aya "shot" in a word, everyone looked at the corner of the little boy's mouth pastry foam, suddenly burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was also lively.
In the flower hall, there was laughter and laughter, and the guests and hosts were happy.
Duanmufei didn't join them, he sat alone at a table by the window, enjoying the lake view, eating tea, and occasionally looking at the boys and girls who were playing with shooting, and saw that Li Tingyou was mixed in the crowd, although he didn't play much, he was sure to hit every "shot".
He was really hypocritical! Duanmu hooked his lips slightly, and in the next moment, he happened to look at Li Tingyou with four eyes.
Li Tingyou smiled at Duanmu Fei, withdrew from the crowd, walked up to her, and said, "Cousin Scarlet is one year older, cousin I haven't congratulated my cousin yet." β
Li Tingyou has been working as an errand in the Shenshu camp recently, and Duanmu Fei has not seen him for more than two months.
"Thank you, cousin." Duanmu smiled, his smile bright.
The cousins and sisters seem to be quite harmonious, a group of brothers and sisters have a deep affection, Duanmu Jun who was sitting at the other table next to him saw it, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl slightly, and he only thought that his sister and his cousin were quite close to each other, and he was a little relieved.
Of course, Li Tingyou didn't come to greet Duanmu Fei, he sat down directly opposite Duanmu Fei.
The pothos immediately served him tea, and the cup was hot.
The window on the right is half-open, and the cold wind from outside occasionally penetrates through the cracks in the window, and the handstove is hidden in the sleeve of Duanmu, so it doesn't feel cold.
As for Li Tingyou, he is a person who practices martial arts, his blood is strong, even in the cold winter of Layue, he only wears a simple middle coat with a robe, and his spirit is shaky.
He looked at the calm lake outside the window, and suddenly said, "I just received a letter from Minzhou yesterday......
Duanmu heard this, and put down the teacup he had just picked up and looked at him.
"Grandfather took advantage of the holy decree to carry out a thorough investigation with great fanfare, deliberately making people panic and putting everyone in danger," Li Tingyou still looked out the window, looking at the ripples on the surface of the lake that were blown by the cold wind, and they did not disperse for a long time, "The eldest aunt is almost unable to sit still......
Duanmu said with a smile: "Don't worry about grandfather, the fish are greedy, as long as there is enough fragrant bait, they will definitely catch it." She smiled crookedly, looking innocent and innocent. But in Li Tingyou's eyes, this is clearly a little fox dressed in rabbit skin!
Duanmu Fei knew what he was thinking at a glance, deliberately raised his chin high, and said with his mouth: Each other.
At this time, a little girl in Tsing Yi hurriedly walked into the flower hall, came to Duanmujun, and said respectfully: "Big girl, the sedan chair has just arrived outside the house." β
This sedan chair refers to Miss Mo's sedan chair, of course.
Although people arrived outside the house, there were no ripples in the house, after all, it was just a concubine, so there was neither a gong and a drum, nor a big red sedan chair, that is, a soft sedan chair carried into the side door.
Even if the boys and girls present at the moment heard it, no one would coax them to watch
After everyone glanced in the direction of Duanmu, they continued to play with themselves.
After a while, another mellow housekeeper ran into the flower hall, sweating profusely, came to Duanmujun's side, and said in a low voice: "Big girl, the second lady didn't come out......
If the two ladies don't come out, no one will take the newcomer's tea, so Aunt Mo's second room will be unjustifiable, and it will definitely be unhappy when it reaches the ears of the Mo family.
Duanmujun frowned, and Duanmufei, who was just a few steps away, also heard it with his ears, and said lightly: "Mama Wang, why do you tell my sister about this kind of thing?" Grandmother is still there! "Duanmu Jun is still the girl's house in the boudoir, if the things in the uncle's room are spread out, it is inevitable that Bai Yu will have time!
Duanmujun smiled at her sister soothingly, of course she would not be stupid enough to take this matter on herself, and simply ordered: "Mama Wang, you go to find your grandmother." β
Facing the bright and cold gaze of Duan Mujun, Mama Wang shuddered, and suddenly remembered Mama Zou, who was taken away by the eldest girl in a few words, and responded again and again, so frightened that she ran away.
Looking at the back of Mama Wang's departure, Duanmufei quietly made a gesture to the cicada behind her, and the cicada immediately understood, and directly exited the flower hall through another door, almost no one noticed, only Li Tingyou, who was sitting opposite Duanmufei, noticed.
This girl has a lot of thoughts! The corners of Li Tingyou's mouth hooked slightly, and he casually turned something on the table upside down into a celadon bowl, and said with a smile: "Cousin, do you want to play with shooting?" β
