Rong'an Hou Mansion.

"Second Miss, let's stop here today, and Caiyun and I will come back to the house early tomorrow morning." Chasing the moon got up and carefully packed up all the utensils and handed them to Qingshuang, "Miss Qingshuang, please take care of it carefully." ”

After Caiyun chased the moon out of the house, Xie Changan took off his finger protector, got up and paced a few steps in the room, only to feel a sore back, so he beckoned Li Bai, "Li Bai, pinch your shoulders." Xie Changan leaned on the couch as if he had no bones, and let the pear white knock and beat.

After a while, Qingshuang pushed the door in, saw Xie Changan lazily leaning on the beauty couch, and chuckled: "Miss is tired today, she rested earlier in the night, Ming'er can't stay out of bed anymore, let the female officer see the joke." ”

As soon as he heard that he would get up early tomorrow to embroider the wedding dress, Xie Changan's half-squinted and half-closed eyelids twitched slightly, and he was quite indignant: "Why do women embroider wedding dresses in person, but men don't use them?" When will this stitch come to an end? Xie Changan can foresee every day in the future, needless to say, boring and boring......

"Miss, don't be in a hurry, there are two female officials to help, just around the corner." Qingshuang added some charcoal to the stove, "Miss, it's not early, Qingshuang will help you prepare dinner." ”

Xie Changan was lazy to pay attention, just squinted lazily, and enjoyed the pinch of pear white.

Looking at Xie Chang'an's quiet face, Libai's eyes were entangled, and he hesitated for a while, and only after a while did he make up his mind to speak, "Miss, the slave maid heard Linglong say that Mrs. Jin'er went out from Miss today, and went to the eldest lady's house to quarrel with the eldest lady...... Say yes, say yes is for the Queen Mother to reward you with brocade. ”

Hearing this, Xie Changan didn't open his eyes, but his heart turned a hundred times for a long time, as if he had figured it out, chuckled, and muttered in a plausible voice, "People, there is a difference between intimacy and intimacy." ”

Seeing that Xie Changan didn't want to say much, Li Bai was immediately silent, and carefully handled it for Xie Changan.

"Miss, there is a letter from Prince Zhong's mansion." Qingshuang carried the food box in one hand and the letter in the other, and entered the house with a cold air, which made Xie Changan frown slightly, and unconsciously gathered the clothes on his body, "Libai, go and pick up the letter." ”

Qingshuang understood, handed the letter to Libai, and smiled helplessly: "Miss, it's Qingshuang who is not good, so Miss is cold." ”

Xiao Yuan's words, Xie Changan has long been familiar with the letter, he took out the letter with ease, his beautiful eyes flowed, and after a while, he saw the content of the letter at a glance, but his expression was strange, as if he was happy, and he seemed to be irritable, entangled in his heart, and sighed lightly, "Alas, a good thing is a good thing, but it is inevitably trivial." ”

Qingshuang has already prepared dinner, "Miss, it's time for dinner." Since it's a good thing, what's the matter with trivialities, there are slaves and maids and Li Bai on the left and right, and if there are any trivial things, they will be handed over to the slaves and Li Bai. ”

Xie Changan looked at the letter, glanced up at Qingshuang, and was not annoyed by Qingshuang's slightly over-the-top words, but smiled: "In this case, in the future, let Qingshuang be the housekeeper, so that she can be busy with trivial things, so that the young lady can steal half a day of leisure and watch the spring and autumn season obliquely." ”

Qingshuang only laughed at Xie Chang'an, and said disapprerovitously: "Qingshuang is Miss's Qingshuang, what Miss tells Qingshuang to do, Qingshuang will do, if Miss is not afraid of making a mess into a pot of porridge, Qingshuang naturally does not dare to refuse Miss's kindness, the housekeeper sounds very majestic." ”

Xie Changan smiled silently, and used dinner decently.

"Qingshuang, add clothes, go to the room." Xie Changan, who had finished dinner, was pacing in the room, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the letter, and for some reason remembered Mrs. Xie, and his mind moved, thinking that he hadn't seen Mrs. Xie for several days, so it was better to take advantage of this to take a look.

"Miss, it's cold outside right now, why don't you go again tomorrow......"

Xie Changan shook his head, motioned for Qingshuang to put on his clothes, and murmured: "Tomorrow will be tomorrow, tomorrow will be so much...... I'm afraid that tomorrow, I will rest this heart again, and I don't know which tomorrow I will go to see my grandmother. Grandmother, how old are ......?"

As soon as Xie Changan stepped out of the house, he regretted it in his heart, obviously, the raging cold wind was so strong that it was carrying snowflakes to flutter, Xie Changan only felt that he was shrouded in the cold wind, and the warmth gradually dissipated, which was really bitterly cold. Xie Changan looked up at the path hidden in the night, not daring to look back at the warmth that was approaching, frowning, gritting his teeth, the wind under his feet, and walking forward with a hard head.

"Miss, you slow down, the road is slippery carefully." Qingshuang was stunned, and hurriedly carried the lantern to keep up with Xie Changan's pace.

When Xie Changan rushed to the upper room "in the dust", Mrs. Xie was already nested in the quilt, and when she saw Xie Changan, she smiled and said: "What kind of wind is playing today, An'er, who has always been afraid of the cold, actually came to see her grandmother, and her grandmother was very happy." Mrs. Xie pulled Xie Changan's cold hand closer to the quilt, "It's still so cold, grandmother will warm An'er for a while." ”

"Grandmother, you're laughing at An'er again." Xie Chang'an nestled beside the bed, looking at Mrs. Xie with bright eyes, "Grandmother, An'er got good news today, Tete came to tell you regardless of the wind and snow." ”

"Oh? What is the good news that Ann is coming to tell Grandma? Old Lady Xie's cloudy eyes revealed a few traces of essence, waiting for Xie Changan's next words.

"Grandmother, An'er just received a letter from Xiao Shizi, saying that the emperor gave Xiao Yu the title of king of the county, with the title 'An', and said that after August 15, An'er will receive a big gift, but they don't know what this gift is." Xie Changan is not without longing, I don't know what the emperor will give her?

Old Mrs. Xie's face sank a little, her eyes were sharp on Xie Changan's face, and seeing that Xie Changan's expression did not seem to be fake, she said with deep meaning: "An'er, do you really want to marry that Xiao Yu?" Why? ”

Xie Changan was suddenly delicate, his face was slightly red, and he said angrily: "Grandmother, don't make fun of An'er anymore, An'er hasn't already told you many times, An'er has him in her heart. After a pause, Xie Chang'an said firmly: "Whether he is stupid or smart, whether she is the son of Prince Zhong's mansion or the prince of the county, as long as it is Xiao Yu, An'er is willing to marry him, and I implore my grandmother to fulfill it." Xie Changan suddenly got up, knelt on the ground with a thud, and stared at Mrs. Xie with burning eyes. Seeing this, Qingshuang and the others hurriedly followed and knelt on the ground.

In a trance, Mrs. Xie seemed to return to the scene when she knelt down and begged Xie Changan to cut her bones and change her face, and all the ups and downs of the past came to her heart, as if she was right in front of her, but she couldn't catch it...... Does the pain of the past have to make her go with the wind? No, she is not reconciled! Old Mrs. Xie's cloudy eyes widened suddenly, and she looked at Xie Changan sharply, and the old man's voice was irrefutable, "An'er, grandmother must not watch you marry that Xiao Yu!" An'er, grandmother is good for you......"

Xie Changan was stunned, his lips squirmed, and the unspoken words finally turned into nothingness.

At this time, when Xie Changning was in a daze under the lamp, Lin pushed the door in, and seeing that Xie Changning was uneasy, he stepped forward worriedly and said, "Ning'er, what's wrong with you?" But what happened? ”

"Mother, I'm fine." Seeing that the Lin family was panicked, Xie Changning hurriedly changed his face and said with a smile: "Mother, Ning'er is thinking about how to embroider that wedding dress better...... Ning'er hasn't taken a needle and thread for a long time, and today she is a lot of rusty, and she feels unsatisfied. ”

Lin was suspicious and instructed, "Ning'er, if there is something, don't hide it from your mother's ......" Stretched out his hand and gently held Xie Changning's scattered green silk behind his ear, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned his worries into joy, "Ning'er, the embroidery work is easy to do, tomorrow my mother will take you to the female officer, and let the female official give you some pointers." ”

"Mother, no need, tomorrow I discussed it with the embroidery lady in the house, why bother." Xie Changning sighed secretly, she was really afraid of Lin's style of saying that wind is rain...... Alas, but what can it be? Lin is for her good in the end.

Who knew that the Lin family was stubborn, and said toughly: "Ning'er, what's the trouble here, don't say it again, tomorrow my mother will take you to An'er's house, just say a few words, and it won't get in the way." Okay, Ning'er, you rest early, and come over tomorrow morning. ”

"Alas, mother......" Xie Changning was speechless, got up and walked to the dresser, stunned at the beautiful face in the prismatic bronze mirror, but the content of the letter received today was surging in his mind.

"Su Ningwei." Xie Changning whispered, even if there were only a few faces, but Su Ningwei's face clearly appeared in Xie Changning's mind, clear water out of hibiscus, a woman in her prime, only a few days, just cocooned herself like this...... Xie Changning believes that Su Ningwei's sudden "fall" was fueled by someone, either Yan Qinglan, Princess Yanjun, or both. But Yan Qinglan, a person with such a beautiful scenery and moonlight, where would he dye his hands in such a red dust and mundane thing? In this way, there is only Princess Yanjun......

Xie Changning's beautiful eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes were suspicious, in the past, she only knew that Princess Yanjun was irritable by nature, but she didn't know that Princess Yanjun was so ruthless, if she entered the door of Yanjun Palace, she didn't know what would happen...... Princess Yanjun's disgust for her, she felt it in her heart, but what could she do, in the end, she lost her innocence......

Xie Changning stared at himself in the bronze mirror, his eyes were complicated and intertwined, his face was uncertain, he pursed his thin lips, and suddenly raised his hand to cover his heart, his heart was like a deer crashing, and he was panicked for some reason.

"Miss, it's late at night, the slave maid waits for Miss to change her clothes and rest." The delicate and crisp voice pulled Xie Changning out of the panic at the right time, Xie Changning came back to his senses suddenly, panting irrepressibly, as if he had just escaped from the Longtan Tiger's Den.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Linglong didn't know why, and hurriedly patted Xie Changning's back, "Miss, the slave will help you bring you a cup of water." ”

Regardless of the moment, Xie Changning had regained his composure, and the slender jade hand that was only holding the wooden comb was slightly protruding, and said indifferently: "No need, let's change clothes." ”
