Chapter Twenty-Seven: Hide and Quiet

But in half an hour, the West Side Courtyard was lively again, Du Kui and Pei were invited by the He family again, Pei naturally refused to leave Xiao Rongyue behind, and wanted her to help Du Huo speak, so that Mother Lin came, but she didn't even enter the main door, and was stopped by Sanqi.

Sanqi told Mother Lin strictly that the lady had just been greatly stimulated in the study of the West Side Courtyard, and she was too sad, she had already lay down, and she had already sent someone to invite Lang Zhong, and she could no longer go to the West Side Courtyard to stir in.

Mother Lin went with a sneering face, and Pei's family didn't send anyone anymore, blocking He's mouth was the most important thing.

In the outer hall of the closed main room, Xiao Rongyue asked Guangdan and Zhu Ling to put the table together and put it together, and put the couch along the table, a pot of stewed fragrant and tender hare sent by the chef was placed in the middle, and the other hare was smeared with spices from the Western Regions and roasted until golden brown, and it was still moistened and oiled out on the plate, and a fat carp was made into a thin cut, and sesame oil was drizzled on it, teaching people to see the index finger move, and then with a few plates of verdant pineapple vegetables and yellow rice porridge.

Guang Dan's saliva was about to flow out while lifting the table, and a pair of eyes stared at this and that, looking at it with a blank eye.

Xiao Rongyue saw her appearance, snorted and laughed, and called Sanqi and Camellia to come over: "Sit down, it's more lively to eat the pot with a few more people." ”

Sanqi was startled, and was just about to push, but Camellia has always been obedient, opened the curtain and called the little maid to bring a few ice basins over, placed them in the four corners of the outer hall, and pulled Sanqi and Guangdan to sit down at the bottom.

Sanqi was anxious: "How can this be done?!" Isn't this a bad duty......"

Camellia looked at her calmly: "Do what the lady tells you to do, this is our duty." ”

Sanqi was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xiao Rongyue, saw her gentle expression, nodded to the camellia, and remembered for a while that the lady had special trust in the camellia these days, and she didn't hide everything from her, but after thinking about it, she was timid, and the lady didn't tell herself many things.

For a while, his heart was clear, and he sat down on the couch safely, and carefully took a bowl of hare meat to Xiao Rongyue.

Xiao Rongyue took it, took a bite and nodded with a smile: "Sister-in-law Ke's cooking skills are still good, and staying in this mansion is a grievance." ”

Guangdan couldn't wait to do it, picked up the bowl and didn't care about the heat, swallowed a piece of rabbit meat with his tongue, combined with the thick white broth, and exhaled comfortably: "It's also comfortable to eat a pot in this hot summer, but I didn't dare to think about it before." ”

Xiao Rongyue pursed her lips and smiled, lowered her eyes, naturally they had never eaten, in the corner room of Zichen Hall in the past, she and Ah Wan's favorite was this, she asked for fresh venison from the dining room as a pot, the pine branch charcoal was boiled open, with fresh mushrooms, Jusheng, eating so well, there was an ice basin at his feet, he still sweated slightly, Hua Tian was crooked, he couldn't care about it, he just looked at each other and was very happy, that is, His Majesty saw it, and he just smiled and scolded a few words helplessly, saying that they were bold and dared to mess around in Zichen Palace.

But in the blink of an eye, things are wrong, and she is now trapped in the inner courtyard of the Du family in Jiangning City, and she has no news of Chang'an, so she can only worry about thinking again.

The smile on her face faded a lot, and then she looked up and asked Camellia, "Where's Tu'er?" ”

Camellia sighed: "As soon as there was a fuss over there, she went to Zhan's mother's room, I'm afraid she slipped away to the West Courtyard to inquire about the news." ”

Sanqi couldn't help it: "In the past few days, she has been working in it, and she doesn't even show her face, that is, the lady wants to use jewelry, and she has to send Zhuling to find her to get it, and she is too lazy." ”

Xiao Rongyue was quite interested: "Then what does she do every day?" You can't stay in the lower room every day. ”

"I saw her go to Mulian's side yesterday, and the day before I talked to Yuzhu for most of the day," Guangdan said with a wink of rabbit meat in his mouth now, "She seems to be wandering around the hugging building over there every day, otherwise she is gossiping with the mother-in-law who watches the courtyard gate at the Half Moon Gate." ”

"She has a heart," Xiao Rongyue smiled, "I'll call her to take a few pairs of pearl earrings from the makeup box and send them to the one over there in Baoxia, so that she can send them over in person." ”

Camellia responded and added another piece of roast rabbit meat to Xiao Rongyue.

Zhu Ling has not spoken since she meditated, and only then did she say softly: "Lady, today's matter is only afraid that Pei Er Niangzi has a heart, that day she came to Qiushi Garden, and the maid saw her talking to San Langjun in the garden, this time I am only afraid of ......"

If such a thing happens, Mrs. Du is only afraid that Du Huo will take Pei Erniang, and with Du Huo's liking for Pei Erniang, I am afraid that the life of the main house will be difficult in the future.

Sanqi and Camellia also thought of it, and looked at Xiao Rongyue very worriedly.

Xiao Rongyue took a small bite of the roasted fragrant rabbit meat slowly, and looked calm: "Originally, the Du family wanted Du Sanlang to accept the Pei family's daughter, after all, I received the silver money that the Pei family gave me for many years, and I can't help but give an explanation, if Pei Er is remarried, who should pay this dowry?" Pei Er brought a lot of them to the Du family back then. ”

"This time, Pei Er is in a hurry, otherwise he wouldn't have made a faint move at this time, knowing that the current Du family's room can't afford to make a waist to make her the master."

In Xiao's memory, Pei Erniang was a year after she married into the Du family, Du Huo Shunshun entered Taixue, and won the appreciation of several powerful people in the court, and took the opportunity to meet King Yu.

And Xiao Shi, at that time, had already been trapped in the main courtyard by Du Huo, and it didn't take long for her to "die of a violent illness" and was sent to Yongyang Fang to be imprisoned for the rest of her life.

This time, Pei Erniang made a fuss about it early.

Listening to her words, Sanqi was startled: "It's all like this, is it possible that the people of the Du family still want to ......."

Xiao Rongyue smiled: "Don't worry, it's over tonight, and tomorrow you will know that Pei Er's thoughts are in vain, but he can only swallow his anger and give up." ”

Sanqi muttered: "That's a lady who hasn't left the cabinet, doesn't she even care about her reputation?" ”

Xiao Rongyue chuckled lightly and shook her head: "There is still a lot of trouble in this mansion." ”

She put down the dishes and chopsticks, took a cool fan and fanned it herself: "Yes, you might as well talk about the matter of the West Side Courtyard with those in the Baoxia, they should also know that there are more than one or two people in this house who have the idea of this garden, and they should also bother." ”
