The gate of the Gu Mansion is not in the direction of Luomei Pavilion, Gu Huaijin just said that he wants to enter the palace, how can he go in this direction?

Qing Qian froze and said softly: "Brother, if there is something that is still hindered by my mother's face, it is difficult to speak, so just say it." ”

She had long felt that Gu Huaijin was dissatisfied with her boss, thinking that it was because she didn't want to see him, Qingqian felt that Gu Qingqian couldn't be blamed, no one liked to put a hot face on a cold ass.

Gu Huaijin stopped and said, "I heard my father say that you pushed Qinglian off the pool a few days ago?" ”

Qing Qian nodded, turned to look at him, but saw an indescribable expression on his face, but it should be generally understood that he was unhappy.

Smash it in your mouth, I don't know what he's going to say.

Gu Huaijin's face turned cold and said: "I have told you again and again not to bully Qinglian, but you are becoming more and more disagreeable, and you also owe your father's kindness, just smoke a few rattan sticks from you." ”

Qing Qian stared at the apricot eyes for a long time and didn't say a word, Gu Huaijin snorted coldly and left directly. She pointed at her brother as if she had seen a ghost, if her ears were not misheard, Gu Huaijin was accusing her of bullying Gu Qinglian.

Peony explained, "Miss, that's why you hate the eldest young master so much. ”

Qingqian slapped her thigh, this Gu Qingqian doesn't like Gu Huaijin It really makes sense, what do you think if you bully the person you hate the most, the people close to you insist on helping her out?

She didn't say that Gu Qingqian was right to bully people, but Gu Huaijin's words sounded more like Wang's appearance.

She smiled bitterly, if Gu Qinglian was so easy to be bullied, she would not have ended up in the current situation.

Gu Huaijin's face was cold, before his mother said that Qingqian seemed to have changed a lot in the past few days, in his opinion, except that there was a lot less anger on his face, it was still the same!

Not only that, but it has also become grinding and chirping.

Qingqian didn't know what Gu Huaijin thought, since his brother was back, then this matter was over, and it was better to prepare the gift of the concubine in the next few days.

I sent some rice cakes to Gu Qingyuan before, and yesterday Qiu Feng sent a set of tea sets with a piece of rain flower brocade from the Beijing Nishang Dance Pavilion to thank you, saying that the rice cakes taste very good, and Qingqian can do it with confidence.

It's just that these rice cakes are still too monotonous, a few days ago, the plum blossoms in the yard were blooming in twos and threes, she asked the maid in the yard to pick off the fresh white plum blossoms and marinate them with honey, and then pour them on top of the rice cakes when they taste, and a stack of rice cakes looked like spring and snow.

Danzhu came over with a small box of plum blossoms and said, "Miss, I have already picked all the white plum blossoms in the yard, but many plum blossoms bloom at different times, and now I can only pick some." There are also many red plum blossoms in the yard, so if you don't have enough young women, you can try them. ”

Peony looked at the white piece on the plate and said, "Miss, the slave also thinks that this plate of pastries is not good-looking." ”

Qingqian stuffed a piece of rice cake for her and gagged her mouth and said: "Although the red plum blossoms look good and smell fragrant, but if they are pickled with sugar or honey, they are not as flavorful as the white plum blossoms, you can give all these pastries to the little maids in the yard." ”

Peony chewed the rice cake vaguely responded, Qing Qian also pinched a piece and put it in his mouth to taste, although the entrance is full of sweet plum fragrance mixed with rice fragrance is very appetizing, but she always feels that the two flavors do not seem to be very harmonious, she thought that a little bit of plum fragrance in the rice cake is enough, but this alone is not enough aftertaste, because it is a fresh plum blossom, so the taste is not long-lasting, and it is gone in a flash.

She thought about it, moved the only stove in the house, and asked Peony to find a large piece of iron, and spread the collected plum blossoms evenly on the iron sheet, and put it on the top of the stove to bake slowly.

The winter weather is really not suitable for drying plum blossoms, so she can only use this method in order to speed up.

A large bag of plum blossoms was sprinkled on it, and in the end Qingguang collected only a small box, and she tried a little bit of it, and the taste was really better than the previous one, so she entrusted cardamom to give these to Qiongyuyuan.

Originally, I still wanted to send some to Jianweiyuan, but there were too many people walking around the old lady's side, and she didn't want to be discovered.

After doing this, she was a little tired, Peony had already asked the maid to prepare a hot shower, and she had almost listed the rules of the Luomei Pavilion in the past few nights, and asked Peony to call all those maids to come to the pavilion for a while.

After about half an hour or so, the maid had basically arrived, and Qingqian changed into loose clothes before asking, "Peony, have all the people arrived?" ”

Peony nodded: "Miss, Cardamom and Gardenia are not here." ”

Cardamom asked her to send the rice cake to Qiongyu Courtyard before, although Qiongyu Courtyard is some distance from Luomei Pavilion, but it is almost back in an hour, is there something delayed on the way?

"Have any of you seen Gardenia?" Qing Qian leaned on the soft collapse and let the peony use safflower oil to wipe the purple-red bruise on his waist.

Cicada Yi replied: "Miss, just now the slave maid saw that Sister Gardenia seemed to have taken her clothes to the Huanyi Pond to wash, but I don't know why she hasn't come back for so long." ”

"How long have you been there?" In the past, it was Peony who took the clothes to wash, but since there were more maids, it was handed over to Gardenia.

"It's been almost two hours."

Two hours have passed, and how many clothes have been washed almost, Qing Qian frowned and asked, "Peony, did Gardenia go alone?" ”

Peony nodded and responded: "Originally, the slave maid was also going to go with Gardenia, but there were not a lot of clothes today, so let her go alone, if the young lady is not at ease, the slave maid can go over and have a look." ”

After going for so long and not coming back, she was not at ease, even with the cardamom girl, Qing Qian was afraid that there would be some connection between the two of them.

"You go with Cicada," Qingqian said with his forehead, "If there is anything, come back and tell me directly." ”

She didn't worry about Peony going alone, for fear that when the time came, she would not come back from the gourd baby to save her grandfather, so she asked Cicada Yi to go with her in order to free up someone to come out and repay if something happened.

Not long after the two went, Qing Qian saw Cicada Yi hurrying back.

Well, it looked like something was going on, and she let the little maid slow down before she could hear her say, "Miss, it's not good, Second Miss...... The maid in our yard ....... ”

The maid said while panting, Qingqian only heard what happened to the second lady and the maid in her yard, she was a little upset, but she still got up and ordered her to take a thick brocade and silver ratskin cloak and follow the cicada out.

By the Huanyi Pool, Gu Qinglian arrived here earlier than her. She is also very powerful, the redness and swelling on her feet are not completely healed before she comes down and jumps around, a few days ago I heard that I also went to the old lady to ask for peace, naturally I took a lot of good medicine to remove blood and stasis.

Qingqian pursed her lips, but saw Gardenia kneeling on the edge of the pool with tears in the corners of her eyes, and her hands were already red from the cold rubbing her clothes; Cardamom was pressed to the ground by several grandmothers; Peony stood on the side with a red face, and the fist in her hand was clenched to death.

She should have come with Peony the first time.

"Sister," seeing her coming, Gu Qinglian looked as if she was relieved and said, "You must be the master of your sister today." ”

She glanced at the peony to show that she had pulled the gardenia up first, and it was easy to get caught on the wet floor on such a cold day. Then she looked at Qinglian and said, "Sister shouldn't tell me first, why did my maid go to the pool for so long and not only didn't come back, but also knelt on this floor?" ”

She is quite a calf protector, even if her maid makes a big mistake, it is not an outsider's turn to discipline her, and for no reason she detains her maid and no one comes to tell her, which makes her very unhappy.

Even if Gu Qinglian wants to target her in every possible way, but everything has a degree, isn't it?

Gu Qinglian said aggrievedly: "I have been washing clothes in the pool before, but my sister's maid didn't take long to wash next to her, this was originally nothing, but my sister's clothes seemed to be stained with ink, and they completely melted away as soon as they entered the water. ”

"And then?"

Gu Qinglian twisted the handkerchief and said: "Naturally, she argued a few words with her sister's maid, but my sister's maid should have just entered the house in the past few days, and there are no rules at all. ”

Qingqian endured his anger and said: "So my sister knelt here and pressed my maid here?" ”

Gu Qinglian frowned slightly and said, "Shouldn't my sister talk about my clothes first?" ”

"Okay," Qing Qian said as she stared at the skirt beside Gardenia, "So what does my sister want?" The gardenia should have been washed for you for so long, right? ”

Gu Qinglian looked at it and almost cried: "Sister, do you know what my skirt is for?" A few days later, the birthday of the concubine, my sister is still going to wear this skirt, my sister doesn't see many clothes, a few days ago, my mother looked at the time is coming, so I specially took it out to let the cheeks be cleaned. ”

In other words, she is all to blame for disciplining the slave and maid? In the eyes of outsiders, it is estimated that the eldest lady is bullying the second lady again, and there are many maids near Huanxi Pond, all of whom are from other yards, pointing here.
