"Fujin, this is the type of pastry and candied fruit that the concubine prepared for Fujin's birthday banquet, please take a look at Fujin." Wan Ying handed the manual in her hand to the maid Furong who was standing beside Fujin.

Furong opened it in person and presented it to Fujin to see, only to see that the pattern of the pastry was painted vividly, and there was handwriting on the style of the pastry, which was actually the words "Happy Birthday".

Fu Jin went to see the patterns of candied fruits, and saw that all kinds of candied fruits were not stacked on the plate as usual, but mixed and matched, and were arranged into various auspicious patterns in the tall legs.

Fleur's eyes lit up, she had naturally never seen candied fruit arranged like this, let alone a pastry with words on it.

Fu Jin looked at these patterns carefully, and there was always a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said: "Sister Dong's mind is really ingenious, I didn't know that you still had this mind." ”

"Fujin has always cared for the concubine, this is the concubine's heart." Wan Ying was upright and well-behaved.

With that said, there doesn't seem to be much more to say.

Wan Ying didn't stay long, so she got up and said goodbye and left the main courtyard.

At that time, the fourth master was sitting in the study, listening to Su Peisheng's report.

"That's all there is to it. It seems that the minions at the pharmacy have mismatched the medicine. ”

The fourth master was holding a book in his hand, and when he heard this, he suddenly closed the pages of the book and did not speak for a long time.

"Mingyuexuan is a little favored, which has attracted some people's eyes, so he will do it again." The fourth master finally spit out this sentence.

It turned out that since he came back from the palace that day and learned about the Wu family, the fourth master deliberately did not go into the backyard, but also wanted to see the movements of all parties, and then asked Su Peisheng to send someone to investigate secretly.

It wasn't until Fu Jin reported to the fourth master that he was a servant of the pharmacy who had mismatched the medicine, and he knew in his heart that this time he was afraid that someone would start targeting Ming Yuexuan again.

Sure enough, I checked and checked, but I only found a batch of new medicinal materials from the pharmacy, and I couldn't check it.

"It's just a medicine, how can it attract unknown insects. The slave can't figure it out. Su Peisheng said.

The fourth master snapped, slapped the book on the table, and said, "The backyard is really uneasy!" ”

Su Peisheng hurriedly bowed his head and said in his heart: This is to blame Fujin for not taking care of the backyard.

"Go to the warehouse, take two sets of jewelry, and give them to Mingyuexuan." The fourth master said, feeling guilty that he had failed to give Wan Ying this justice.

As soon as Wan Ying returned to Mingyue Xuan, the reward of the fourth master came.

As usual, Chunhua gave the little eunuch who gave the reward a purse, and according to Wan Ying's meaning, he asked him why the fourth master wanted to reward Mingyuexuan.

Where did the little eunuch know the fourth master's intentions, and as a result, Wan Ying began to speculate about why the fourth master gave these two sets of jewelry?

Chunhua and Luguo looked at the two sets of jewelry lying in the large lacquer plate, one was a gilded gemstone head, made in the style of a peony flower, very luxurious and graceful; There is also a set of tanzi noodles that are not so valuable, but they are made of meticulous workmanship, and all of them are spliced together with pearls the size of rice grains.

"The slave thinks, is this Lord Belle here to accompany you?" The green fruit was inspired to do the authentic.

"Why does Lord Belle want to compensate us?" Spring

"Gege, someone came in at the door, saying that a Zeng girl is here and wants to come in to meet Gege." Qiu Tang got a message from the person who came from the gate of the front yard, and hurriedly came in to report.

"Zeng Xiaodie?" Wan Ying said in surprise, "Chunhua, you go to the door and pick it up." ”

Zeng's family was dressed in a green flag suit, combed a two-handful of hair, wore gilded gems and beads, and was followed by two girls waiting at the door of Sibeile's mansion.

"Miss Zeng, we asked me to pick you up!" Chunhua walked all the way to the door, and saw a pretty girl standing inside, so she hurriedly said.

Zeng Shi nodded and said to Chunhua: "My palanquin man is still outside, can you let them come in and sit for a while and drink some tea?" ”

Chunhua's impression of her immediately improved, a master who can care about his subordinates, at least kind-hearted.

She asked the porter to ask the two palanquin bearers to carry the sedan chair into the door and wait, and the porter also knew that this was a guest of Mingyuexuan, and where did he not agree.

Chunhua led Zeng's all the way to Mingyue Xuan, and Wan Ying was also holding Luguo's hand and waiting at the door.

"Wanying!" As soon as Zeng saw her facing him at the door, he shouted excitedly, and hurried to meet him.

"Why are you here?" Wan Ying smiled, "In a few days it will be our Fujin's birthday, will you come then?" ”

"It's just because I can't come, so I came to see you when I'm out today." Zeng said, and then she suddenly leaned close to Wan Ying's ear and muttered a few words.

"Really?" Wan Ying said that she was surprised, and began to look Zeng's figure up and down, but saw that her lower abdomen was flat, and it was no different from before the separation that day.

"Thanks to you for reminding me that day. I didn't expect to go back and do what you told me, and I actually came. Zeng said happily.

"It's too fast. It should be that you are pregnant. When I followed the ninth master out to welcome the emperor back to Beijing, I had it. Wan Ying said.

"Whether it's before or after, in short, I'll lend you good words." Tsang's Road.

The two entered the house together, and Wan Ying asked Chunhua to bring out a few snacks she had invented, and asked Luguo to make tea.

"Tsk, Lord Sibel seems to be very fond of you. The house is well furnished, and there are many people who serve it, but they are much better than me. Zeng took Wan Ying to visit her house, and said with envy in his eyes.

"You are pregnant with the heir of the Ninth Master. This identity is also out of character, right? Wan Ying said, "It's just that I want to remind you that Gege just gave birth to a child, but I'm afraid that I am not qualified to raise it by my side." ”

Wan Ying's words were exactly what Zeng Xiaodie was thinking, and the smile on her face disappeared suddenly. In fact, she was happy with Jiu Ye today, and mentioned to him that she wanted to go out to burn incense, and Jiu Ye agreed.

Burning incense is fake, but wanting to see Wanying is real. After all, she didn't have anyone around her to talk to.

After the two sat down, Zeng took the tea from the green fruit and drank it slowly.

It's really not easy for a woman to live.

When they are in the main house, they are worried that men will take concubines and have children, which will threaten their status; As a concubine, she is worried that the man's grace will not last long, and if she gives birth to a child, she is worried that she will not be able to raise it.

Wan Ying suddenly found that she was facing the same status as Zeng's, but fortunately, she had the foresight to be secretly calculating the dangerous period, trying to avoid it if she could, and if she couldn't avoid it, she would play tricks!

"Wanying, I want to mention to the Ninth Master, this child is born, don't take it away. Anyway, there is already a precedent in our house, and Jiufujin is quite generous, and he didn't go to snatch the child. Zeng said.

Although she said this, her eyes were clearly worried.
