When Yongning returned to Feng's house, it was already the time to hold the lamp, and as soon as he entered Xunfang Pavilion, he saw a few maids and headless flies wandering around the yard.

She saw Xia'er carrying a lantern in front of her, and by the candlelight she was looking for something on the stone road, but she didn't even know that she was standing in front of her. Seeing that the two were about to collide, Yongning said coldly, "What are you doing?" ”

"Oops!" Xia'er was so frightened that she screamed and fell to the ground, almost not even holding the lantern.

A few maids in the courtyard saw that Yongning had returned, and they were all fixed in place like sculptures, neither advancing nor retreating.

Xia'er knelt on the ground and said, "Miss, I ......"

Yongning knew that it was not good, and he didn't talk nonsense with her: "What good things did you do again?" ”

"Miss, slave maid ......" Xia'er slammed her head on the ground, "slave maid accidentally lost the key to the box......."

"What box?"

"That's it...... It's the official suitcase where He Yi is placed......"

When Yongning heard this, his face instantly collapsed.

Yun Chan was also shocked and angry, and scolded repeatedly: "What are you doing with this little? Can't even look at a key! Do you know how many treasures are in there, and you can't pay them off in your lifetime as a cow or a horse! ”

Xia'er panicked: "The slave doesn't know, the slave just squinted under the porch for a while, and the key disappeared when she woke up......"

Yongning knew that Xia'er was calculated by others, so he hurriedly ran to the east room and dragged out the Huanghuali Yunfeng pattern official suitcase.

At this time, there was a shout outside: "Found it!" In the grass! ”

Xia'er came over to Yongning with the key, Yongning used the key to open the lock, and carefully counted the size of the congratulatory in the box, but fortunately, there was no less.

Yun Chan glanced at Xia'er: "You dead girl, you obviously lost it by accident, and what do you say that it will be gone when you wake up, you are not very old, and you can lie?" Be careful, Miss picks your skin and sends you away! ”

Hearing Yun Toad's crackling, Xia Er looked at Yongning with a pair of trembling eyes, for fear that she would really betray herself as Yun Toad said.

Fortunately, although Yongning's face was poor, he didn't say anything else, but only instructed the people in the courtyard to put their eyes bright, and not to let the people with eyes go in and out of Xunfang Pavilion casually.

A few maids should not be mentioned.

In the first half of the red sun the next day, the Ming clan of the Daming clan sent someone to invite Yongning over for lunch.

As soon as Yongning arrived at Huizhouxie, he saw Daming's personal attendant Lotus Xiang with an apologetic face: "Wait, Miss, Mrs. had a headache just now, and she just invited a doctor, and she is taking medicine at this time." ”

"Auntie's body matters."

After Yongning finished speaking, she sat on the embroidery pier that the maid had moved, and only smelled a fragrant fragrance in the room, fresh and long, different from any kind of fragrance she had smelled before. There is a row of huanghuali and three cabinets against the wall, in addition to various antique utensils, there is also a stack of books. She leaned over to take a look, and the top one was "Biography".

This is a bit interesting, a woman in the back house actually looked at the work of psychology, and now the comparison between psychology and Cheng Zhu science is really not the mainstream, let alone a woman, I am afraid that those Confucians who are full of poetry and books may also rarely dabble in this.

Thinking like this, Yongning heard a weak voice: "If Sister Ning likes this book, take it and read it." ”

She turned her head and saw Da Ming's Lotus Lotus Blossom walking out. Although she had a smile on her face, her complexion was more ugly than crying, it was already early summer, and she was still tightly wrapped, which made Yongning feel hot when she looked at it.

Yongning got up and blessed his body, and said with a smile: "Yongning didn't know that my aunt liked to read Wang Shouren's books. ”

Da Ming said: "I just saw that your uncle likes to turn over these books on weekdays, so I found a few to read." ”

"Uncle and aunt are really like-minded, Qin Se and Ming."

Feng Zhengyue was a literary young man when he was young, he boasted that he was talented and proficient in poetry and songs, but in fact, he was a prodigal who did not do his job.

Da Ming's laughter was a little bitter when he heard this, Yongning knew that his words were a little too much, so he hurriedly changed the topic and said, "I don't know what my aunt has prepared for me, I'm hungry." ”

Only then did Da Ming come back to his senses and beckoned Lotus Lotus to come and see the dishes.

Not long after Lotus Fragrance left, someone suddenly said loudly at the door: "It turns out that it is here, but it is easy for me to find it." ”

Aunt Ming was dressed in red and green, and Shi Shiran stepped in, so bright and dazzling, it was incompatible with the elegant tone in the room.

Da Ming smiled: "Why is my sister here?" ”

Aunt Ming raised her eyebrows: "What's the matter, sister, I can't come here?" ”

Da Ming didn't say anything anymore, and drank tea by himself.

Aunt Ming said to Yongning: "I originally wanted to send you a piece of jewelry, but I didn't expect the maid from Xunfangzhai to say that you went back and forth to Zhouxie, so I had to turn back here to find you." ”

Her personal attendant Xiaohuan presented Yongning with a moire brocade box, Yongning opened it and saw that there were golden silk bees and butterflies lying in it, which was very exquisite and cute.

Yongning hurriedly said: "Then thank Aunt Ming." ”

At this time, Lotus Lotus came up with the dishes, and Aunt Ming smiled and said, "It turned out that I was going to have a meal, I don't know if my sister can add a pair of chopsticks here, so that my sister can also be full." ”

"It's just some coarse tea and light rice, sister don't dislike it," Da Ming called the maid again, "Go and add two bowls and chopsticks." ”

The three of them sat down around the Eight Immortals table, and the lotus root incense was distributing vegetables on the side.

Eating without saying a word, Da Ming's eating with chopsticks in a regular manner, and even the sound of chewing never came out. On the contrary, it was Aunt Ming, who pulled Yongning to chat non-stop, and she couldn't take care of eating.

The banquet is still light and vegetarian, obviously taking into account the fact that the Daming family can not use meat.

The only meat dish is steamed anchovies, which are divided into three parts, and then poured with soup one by one, which is fragrant. She presented the bowl to Aunt Ming, and Xiaohuan saw the green onions sprinkled inside, and stopped her in a cold voice: "Auntie doesn't eat green onions." ”

The lotus root made a move, and the hot fish soup in the bowl shook a few times, splashing on her wrist, making her shiver in pain, and as a result, half a bowl of soup was spilled on Aunt Ming's sleeve.

Aunt Ming felt a tingling pain in her arm through her clothes, and exclaimed, Lotus Xiang was so frightened that she stepped forward and hurriedly wiped her with a handkerchief, and was pushed aside by Xiaohuan.

Da Ming's face sank: "Lotus fragrance ......"

Xiaohuan helped Aunt Ming wipe the soup and scolded: "What are you doing? Can't even serve a bowl of soup? ”

Lotus Fragrance was yelled at and couldn't speak: "I, I ......"

Aunt Ming opened her sleeves and saw that there was really a red patch on her arm, she had always loved beauty, how could she allow a scar to appear on her body, and her face was suddenly covered with dark clouds.

Da Ming looked at her face, and hurriedly called Lotus Incense: "Don't get out of here quickly." ”

Lotus Xiang wanted to run when she got the order, but she didn't expect Aunt Ming to say, "Stop!" ”

The lotus root instantly froze in place like petrification.

"You are Madame's personal maid?"

"Yes......" Lotus Xiang didn't know why Aunt Ming wanted to ask this, so she had to hang her head and answer honestly.

Aunt Ming turned back and said to Da Ming: "Sister, the people around you are too weak, and you can't even do a little thing." ”

Da Ming explained: "Lotus Xiang is young and has just come to me, so it is normal for her hands and feet to be clumsy. ”

"Since I'm young, I'll move to a longer age, and it's safer."

Da Ming looked at the lotus root that shook his head again and again, and said, "I'm afraid this is ......."

"Is my sister going to protect this girl, if other people know, I'm afraid they will think that my sister deliberately asked her to spill the soup on her sister."

Da Ming didn't dare to say anything for a while.

"I know that my sister has always been magnanimous to her subordinates, but since I am in charge of the house, I cannot tolerate such careless people. It's a bowl of soup today, and Ming'er doesn't know what to do wrong. It's the old lady's birthday soon, and I won't punish this maid, just sell it."

Aunt Ming was sharp and speechless, and she couldn't speak. Yongning watched Lotus Lotus kneeling on the ground and kowtowing and begging for mercy, he wanted to say something, but his mouth was instigated a few times, and he didn't say it after all.

Xiaohuan listened to Aunt Ming's words, and hurriedly asked someone to drag the lotus incense down

After this incident, Aunt Ming was still thinking about the injury on her arm, and her mood was mixed again, so she said goodbye to the two and left.

Seeing that Aunt Ming was far away, Da Ming's face could no longer be hung up, revealing a depressed look: "I made you laugh." ”

Yongning didn't know what to say for a while, so he asked Yun Chan to soak the rain dragon well he brought to Daming's family.

Fortunately, Da Ming's face turned slightly pale after drinking it: "This tea is excellent." ”

Yongning breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good if my aunt likes it." ”

"I don't have anything else to send you, our relationship, it's too vulgar to send gold, silver and jade, if you like it, take the book away, and pass the time."

Only then did Yongning remember the "Biography", thanked him repeatedly, and asked: "I don't know what kind of incense my aunt is burning here, I smell it very pleasantly." “

Da Ming smiled: "Where is the fragrance, I can't smell those things, I just picked some seasonal fruits and dried them and put them in the sachet." ”

Yongning praised: "I see, my aunt is really smart. ”

After coming out of the Huizhou Pavilion, Yun Chan witnessed the scene just now, and his heart palpitated, and he suddenly opened the switch.

"This Aunt Ming is too ruthless, but Lotus Xiang is a person in the eldest lady's room, and she will sell it when she says it's for sale. The eldest lady was too, and she was so blocked by Aunt Ming that she couldn't even protect her maid after a few words. ”

Yongning was also an eye-opener: "You know now, this ancestral house is not a good place to stay."
