Leaving his brother's house, Zhu Rong met Aunt Liu under the porch, she led the maid to hold the food box and send it to the dining room to serve the eldest lady.

When Liu Shi saw him come out of the Pingjue house, he couldn't help but ask, "How is he doing?" ”

Zhu Rong said: "Today's complexion is good, aunt rest assured." ”

Liu didn't dare to show his concern for his son, so he only nodded and led people to continue to the dining room.

A few days after that, Dongyuan was busy with Zhang Luo's banquet, and the posts of the birthday banquet had been sent out, and on this day, Zhu Rong met Min Yanshi outside the palace gate, and he said: "The birthday of the in-laws, the whole family is coming, and when the time comes, I want to have a few more drinks with you." ”

Zhu Rong said: "I unfortunately have official business, and I can't be at home that day, so my brothers at home will naturally treat you well." ”

Min Yanshi said regretfully: "It's a rare opportunity, we don't have a day to sit down and talk, but I have a lot to say to you." ”

They studied in one place since childhood, and they were also at the same table in Guozijian, and like Kaijiang, they had been friends for more than ten years.

But I don't know when the relationship between them has gradually faded, and I think they have different aspirations for their own way out, and after the two mansions became in-laws, they didn't see each other a few times a year.

After saying something at this time, he also said goodbye in a hurry, Min Yanshi left in the carriage, and after the curtain was lowered, he couldn't help frowning.

Since childhood, he and Zhu Rong are inseparable, but they participated in the scientific examination together, Zhu Rong tried the first place, but he was outside the top three, to now, Zhu Rong only received an errand of patrolling guards in the palace, he has been in the official worship Langzhong, and the future is immeasurable.

Min Yanshi always had a breath in his heart, every time he met Zhu Rong, that breath swelled his chest tightly, and he didn't see it, and he didn't see it.

The carriage moved slowly, and he smashed his fist on the window frame, causing the little man under the carriage to ask, "Eldest son, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, let's go." Min Yanshi calmed down, why should he always get along with himself, he is the eldest grandson of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he is destined to have a bright future, do you have to force himself to be as difficult as a poor student.

At noon on this day, Yunzhi was called to Dongyuan by her mother, and wanted her to help with some things, but Yunzhi deliberately made trouble, and the more she helped, she was soon driven away by the second lady.

Fu Yi was eating, Yun Zhi ran in, sat down triumphantly, picked a piece of mushrooms, and said while eating: "Although I'm sorry for my sister-in-law, I really don't want to help, with this kung fu, I might as well discuss with you, how to secretly go to see the big sister." ”

Cuizhu came to ask if she wanted to pass on the second lady's lunch, Yun Zhi let go, she made a few bites here in Fuyi, and then withdrew everyone, and said quietly: "I put the map rough last night, I really haven't been to the southwest corner much, and I have returned the map this morning, so he won't have to talk about me." ”

Fuyi put down her chopsticks, with a guilty smile on her face, she really didn't deliberately betray Yunzhi, she really thought that those few things to do, it must be foolproof, otherwise she couldn't save the eldest lady, and maybe it would make the eldest lady even more embarrassed in the future.

She admitted that she was influenced by Zhu Rong, but she did not waver in her attitude towards the matter.

"I'm sorry......" Fu Yi carefully said Zhu Rong's decision and sincerely apologized, "I didn't mean to betray you. ”

After hearing this, Yun Zhi glared at her angrily: "You are really, what are you afraid of my brother doing, if this is me, I am afraid of him, he is my brother, he can beat and scold, you are different, what can he do to you?" He can't control you, what are you afraid of him doing? ”

Fuyi explained: "I'm not afraid of my cousin, I just want that the two of us went to break in and alarmed the eldest lady, but there was no next time." Wouldn't it be better now that my cousin is willing to arrange for us to meet the eldest lady? ”

"That's ......" Yun Zhi didn't feel inappropriate in his heart, he was just not convinced.

"What do you think?" Fu Yihao asked, "When I heard my cousin say this, I thought it was okay, so I told us all our thoughts." Actually, it wasn't that I betrayed you first, as soon as he knew that we were going to take the map, he understood everything. ”

Yunzhi said: "Oh, I also know that I can't hide it from him, but ......" she said angrily, "Look, he is so gentle and kind to you, he scolded me yesterday and was angry, I am his sister." ”

Fu Yi's heart was hot, and he didn't dare to show his face, so he breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Then we will wait for my cousin's arrangement and go to visit the eldest lady smoothly." ”

Yunzhi agreed: "He always counts when he speaks, but I'm not afraid that he will trick me." ”

As she spoke, Zhou's mother came again, with a few women on needlework and thread, saying that the second lady wanted to make new clothes for Miss Yan, and she brought someone to measure the head, and it happened that Yunzhi was also there, and the second lady also measured it.

Mother Zhou said with a smile: "Our girl is longer than last year, I see that Miss Yan has been here for more than a month, and she seems to have grown taller?" Come to think of it, you are still a child, such a person has come all the way to the capital, and our wife often says that it is better to be as painful as your daughter. ”

After thanking them and saying nothing else, the women measured their rulers, selected the materials and colors, and when they dispersed, it was already afternoon, and the girls should come to class.

At this time, the second lady brought her daughter-in-law to the old lady to ask for peace, took the menu and asked the mother-in-law to decide, mentioning the eldest lady, Jiang said: "Sister-in-law is not very good these days, I'm afraid that I am tired of serving the queen in the palace, and I don't dare to bother her with trivial matters. ”

The old lady said: "These dishes are excellent, neither extravagant nor decent, you can rest assured to go to Zhangluo." ”

Seeing that her mother-in-law avoided talking about the eldest lady, Jiang didn't dare to be too deliberate, and then sat down for a while and retired.

Mama Rui sent the guests to the door, came back to see that the maid had boiled the soup, took the hand and withdrew them, sent them to the old lady, and said: "The second lady is too calm, why should she come to you to provoke." ”

The old lady said: "It's your eldest lady who can't hold her breath, and she is really, why bother to come." ”

Mama Rui sighed: "Call the slave maid to say, it's better to solve the matter of the eldest lady, the long pain is better than the short pain." ”

The old lady shook her head: "Listening to Rong'er's description, I think she should have done evil and cut off the incense of the palace, and now she is afraid." Princess Min, who lost her husband and child, was already holding back her stomach of grievances and pain, and if she really made a fuss in front of the palace, we couldn't afford it. ”

Mama Rui said: "The eldest lady is still the daughter of our family, and the princess can't kill us all." ”

The old lady smiled bitterly: "That's it, so what, your eldest lady has no face since then, the majesty and dignity of the past are all over, can she live with such a temperament?" What's more, she has to take care of the queen and the prince, and take care of the Yang Mansion, she is not a person inside and outside now, and she makes a wrong step. ”

As he spoke, he remembered something and instructed his grandmother: "When Rong'er comes back, ask him to come to see me, and let Yun'er and Fuyi go to see Hanzhi, and discuss it again." ”

Before sunset on this day, the stage of Dongyuan was set up, and after the craftsmen and manservants withdrew, Yunzhi took his sisters to watch the excitement.

Fu Yi was uncomfortable, and he was too lazy to go out, so he concentrated on preparing a birthday picture for the second master.

When the sunset is gorgeous, Cuizhu and Citron come to light the lamp, Cuizhu said: "It's not good for the girl to sit all the time, the begonia in front of the door is open, can you go and see?" ”

Fu Yi glanced in front of the door, and saw a patch of crimson sticking out of the courtyard wall, as if dyed by the setting sun.

She walked out of the courtyard gate, where the trees planted along the root of the wall, when the flowers bloomed, the wall was poked out, other people's homes were full of spring and could not be closed, but this house was just the opposite, but the people in the courtyard were looking forward to the spring outside the door.

Citron and Cuizhu came running, standing on tiptoe to break the flower branches, wanting to pick the best one and give the hairpin flower to Fuyi.

However, they were too small to jump, and they were unwilling to run back to move the stool, and they couldn't stop them.

It just so happened that Zhu Rong returned home and was going to the inner courtyard, passing by Qingqiu Pavilion, and seeing that Fuyi was outside the door, he immediately stopped.

Under the begonia tree, the shadow is long, the breeze is blowing, only to see the gauze skirt fluttering lightly, bending the knees to pick up the flowers that fall in the wind, and holding them to play in the sunset.

The peaceful and elegant smile on her face made people unable to take their eyes off, and Zhu Rong looked stupid.

But he suddenly came back to his senses and looked around, for fear that his attention would attract gossip to Fuyi, so he hurriedly walked away without waiting for Fuyi to find him.

That night, Zhu Rong and his grandmother discussed arranging for Yun Zhihe to visit the eldest sister, and finally made a decision, and the next day they got the news, and finally chose the second master's birthday.

Compared with her father's birthday, Yunzhi looked forward to seeing her eldest sister more, counting the days and waiting for that day to come, leaving behind what her mother told her to entertain guests.
