Since Yi'er showed her cooking skills in the old lady Lin's family, Yi'er's reputation for being a good cook and filial piety has spread throughout the Hou Mansion, and Du Qinwen in the third room has gone to Yi'er's Qiuxia Pavilion every once in a while to eat and drink, even her sister Du Qinya can't stand it anymore, and she grabbed Du Qinwen to preach when she found an opportunity, but where did Du Qinwen listen to her? still run to Yier's Qiuxia Pavilion whenever I have free time.

Speaking of which, the sisters in the third room are very interesting, as if they are doing the opposite, the sister is naughty and active, not in shape, and the younger sister is stable and precocious, meticulous.

Yier has a good reputation, thought about it, and took the time to get some pastries out in the kitchen with a few girls, and then sent them out from yard to yard, she has been in North Kaecheng for three years, in addition to reading and writing, she usually likes to cook and make some food, the craftsmanship is not very good, and it is not bad after all, plus some ingenuity, the things she makes, the taste is not the same, and the appearance is full of novelty.

This is just a little thing that Yi'er does casually, but she thinks that she can't favor one over the other, so except for the old lady, who is old and some too sweet should not eat more, she deliberately chose some light ones to send over, and the rest of the places are treated equally, three boxes of various snacks plus two boxes of secret peach cakes.

Early this morning, she went to Zirui Courtyard to invite An back, but she unexpectedly ran into Du Xiangyu on the bridge corridor by Furong Lake.

Du Xiangyu is from Aunt Zhao in the second room, ranked second among Miss Houfu, married three years ago, married to a scholarly family in Quzhou Mansion on the outskirts of Beijing, but has not been out for three years, the husband's family has a lot of complaints about this, so she has taken a few good concubines for her husband one after another.

Yi'er still saw this second sister when she first entered the Hou Mansion to recognize people, and Du Xiangyu gave Yi'er the feeling that she was capable and refreshing, otherwise, I am afraid that she would not have the courage to take the initiative to reconcile with her husband's family. It's just that her identity is embarrassing, her father's second master Du Ziming is a concubine, and she is a concubine here, plus she is a concubine who has returned to the house, and in the eyes of the world, she is a little unlucky, so she rarely goes out on weekdays, and the old lady is in the morning and dusk of the province, she is a concubine and is not treated well, naturally the old lady has been exempted from this ceremony, it has been almost a month since Yi'er entered the house, counting the time when she just entered the mansion, this is the second time I have seen Du Xiangyu.

Du Xiangyu was only followed by a girl, and the two of them were standing on the bridge porch, seemingly enjoying the scenery of Furong Lake.

Yi'er was a little puzzled, Du Xiangyu lived in the West Garden of Houfu, which was some distance away from Furong Lake, and even if she wanted to enjoy the scenery, this bridge corridor was not a good attraction, and their master and servant stood here, as if they were waiting for Yi'er here on purpose.

After the two sides met, Du Xiangyu said: "Seeing that the weather is good today, I came out for a walk, and I didn't expect such a coincidence, so I met the third sister." ”

Yi'er also said: "Second sister, look, there is my sister's Qiuxia Pavilion, the second sister is a rare guest, they all say that it is better to meet by chance, even if you are here, you have to go to your sister's yard to have a cup of tea." ”

Du Xiangyu said: "The third sister is polite, speaking of which, I haven't thanked the third sister for the snacks she sent." ”

"It's all gadgets, where is it worth being my sister Baba?" After Yi'er finished speaking, she stepped forward and grabbed Du Xiangyu's arm, and said, "My sister came with my sister, my sister made some new pastries, and I was worried about finding someone to try it, but my sister is not allowed to shirk." ”

Du Xiangyu saw that there were only two green and blue buckwheat following Yi'er, so he smiled, patted Yi'er's hand lightly, and said, "I'll go to my sister's yard another day, if my sister is free today, can you accompany me to the pavilion to sit?" ”

Yi'er obviously felt that Du Xiangyu had something to say, so she nodded, and followed her to the pavilion by the lake, where the maid laid a soft cushion on the stone bench, Du Xiangyu waved his hand, and said, "My third sister and I want to talk about some private things, you all go to the pavilion and wait." ”

Seeing Yi'er's head lightly, the green Fu Lanqiao blessed her body, and retreated with Du Xiangyu's girl.

Seeing Du Xiangyu like this, Yi'er also collected a smile on her face, and said with a straight face: "Second sister, do you have any important words to tell your sister?" ”

Du Xiangyu smiled and said, "It's just a few words of gossip, and the third sister doesn't need to be so dignified." ”

These words made Yi'er a little confused, obviously she made it so formal, as if she was facing a great enemy, this time Yi'er should take it easy.

Du Xiangyu said softly: "My sister lived in the folk in her early years, and she must have suffered a lot!" Fortunately, now that the hardships have come to me, seeing that the eldest uncle and aunt love my sister so much, the good fortune of my sister is still to come. ”

Yi'er smiled and didn't answer.

Du Xiangyu continued: "This Hou Mansion looks full of flowers, rich and glorious, and my sister has been in the mansion for a while, I don't know what I think?" ”

"What do you mean by sister?"

Du Xiangyu glanced at Yi'er and said: "My sister is the pearl of the eldest uncle and aunt, and she is the noble daughter of the eldest uncle. ”

Yi'er was stunned and said, "Why did my sister say this? ”

Du Xiangyu shook his head and said, "I don't mean anything else, and it's not that I'm jealous of my sister's Jin Gui, in fact, many times, I have a kind of sympathy for my sister." ”

Yi'er really didn't understand the meaning of Du Xiangyu's words, so she simply said: "I see that my sister is heroic, she should be a neat and straightforward character, and my sister is also a straight character, my sister has something to say, you might as well say it directly." ”

Du Xiangyu asked: "Sister, do you know what kind of family my sister married before?" After a pause, she didn't wait for Yi'er to speak, and continued, "My aunt is a useless, lowly status, and shallow eyelids. ”

Yi'er was stunned, where did she think that Du Xiangyu would say such a paragraph? Just a little at a loss, Du Xiangyu had already smiled faintly, looked over, and said, "Sister, don't pity me." I'm just a concubine, and I can't threaten anyone, so they just find a person who looks glamorous, but is actually rotten to the bone, and just marry me off. But sister, you are different, you are the daughter of the long house, the eldest uncle is the eldest son of the old marquis, there is the eldest uncle, there is you, the title of the marquis of Qingxiang, who doesn't say that a name is not right, who doesn't talk about a bad word behind his back? My sister thinks they will be willing? ”

Yi'er frowned and said, "Second sister......"

Du Xiangyu shook his head and said: "The first time I saw my sister, I knew that my sister was a smart person, since ancient times, people have no intention of harming the tiger, and there are many cases of tigers harming people's hearts, my sister don't think I'm alarmist, there are some things, but my sister doesn't care." ”

"Second sister, my father and mother have long been unwilling to take the title of Marquis of Qingxiang, and now only because the old lady is still there, we have to live in the Hou Mansion, we haven't thought about fighting for anything, and we won't fight for anything."

Du Xiangyu smiled and said, "I believe this is your true thoughts, but the key is, will others believe it?" Okay, I'm not going to discuss this with my sister anymore, I'm here today, I actually have something to tell my sister, and it's also a meeting gift for me and my sister and sister, and my sister will give my sister. ”

"What's the matter?"

"I heard that the old lady gave Chunyun to her sister?"

Yi'er nodded.

Du Xiangyu looked at Yi'er and smiled meaningfully, and said, "The people in this mansion, whether they are masters or maids, who will not be a little careful?" Where can the people around the old lady be exceptional? ”

Yi'er's whole body was shocked, and she stared at Du Xiangyu in disbelief, and said, "Second sister means Chunyun......"

Du Xiangyu sneered: "Chunyun is a child, her parents died early, she also has a younger brother, but she redeemed the deed in the early years, and followed a distant cousin of her to Quzhou Mansion to live, and my sister also knows that my sister happened to marry Quzhou Mansion before, so I know some things that my sister doesn't know, if my sister wants to find out, you might as well go to Quzhou Mansion to find out how her younger brother is doing now." ”

Yi'er was indeed shocked by Du Xiangyu's words, Chunyun has been waiting very hard these days, she is quiet on weekdays, conscientious and meticulous, and the other maids are a little scared of her, such a person, if she is really deliberately placed by someone with ulterior motives by her side, it is really a little unbelievable.

But obviously, Du Xiangyu would not deliberately come over to talk nonsense to her, so, after Du Xiangyu left, Yi'er carefully recalled the scene when the old lady rewarded people, at that time, this was proposed by the fourth lady Wei, saying that Du Jinyao was old and needed a safe person to follow, which was nothing, but later the fourth lady directly filtered out the two on the grounds that the old lady relied on Chunzhi and Chunrong was old, and then she chose Chunni, so the old lady wanted to reward Yi'er, Chunyun is the only one among the four big girls.

In other words, if the old lady follows Wei's words, the only one who can be rewarded to Yi'er will be Chunyun.

Chunyun came down from the old lady's side, and she is no better than other maids in terms of identity, plus she is calm and introverted, if she really matches Yi'er's eyes and is relied on by Yi'er, and she is really suspicious and has two hearts, then there are some things that are really unguardable.
