In early spring and March, the sun shines warmly on the body, the branches that emerge from the buds dance with the breeze, and there are maids and mothers-in-law in the pavilion and under the verandah to gather and chat together. Mai Xiaohuan admires them very much for embroidering purses or playing with a veil in their hands, and they can still talk deliciously, aren't they afraid of piercing their hands and making mistakes.

Mai Xiaohuan, who could no longer see a trace on his head, was still ordered by Zhou Yue to apply ointment for several more days. She now has one more task, go to the study at noon to bring food to Zhou Yue, if Zhou Yue is sleepy, she will also be responsible for reading a book, when people are asleep, when they are allowed to leave.

Mai Xiaohuan has a lot of complaints about her new job, everyone can see her dissatisfaction, only Zhou Yue pretends not to see it.

After reading the book for three days in a row, Mai Xiaohuan, who was sleepy and tired, was thinking about how to phrase it to make Zhou Yue change his mind. Zhou Yue told her that every time she finished reading a book, she could get the same reward, and she could choose the type of book, as long as Xi Rui had it, she could help her find it.

Now Mai Xiaohuan is not sleepy, and chooses those books with pictures of moderate thickness on Zhou Yue's bookshelf to read, and scolds Zhou Yue angrily for being fooled again.

When he finished reading the first book, Mai Xiaohuan asked for a copy of "General History of Xirui"; The second time, I asked for a copy of the "Book of Agriculture......

"How can a little girl look at this kind of thing, next time I will buy you an embroidery book, the recipe is not bad, in fact, I think "The Female Ring" is the most suitable for you."

Mai Xiaohuan ignored it, and did not refute Zhou Yue's ridicule, she said that she didn't want to read this time, and wanted to exchange three days of labor for a message.

What's the news? After thinking about it for a while, Zhou Yue understood that Qu Hao had already finished the exam at this time, and this girl wanted to inquire about his situation! wanted to ask how he could finish reading for only a few days, so Mai Xiaohuan worked hard and made a starting point. Sometimes she felt that if she wasn't too young, she could now apply for the position of Zhou Yue's grandmother.

Mama Tian will tell the sisters about how prosperous and rich the capital is, and how luxurious and majestic the Chenwang Mansion is...... Mai Xiaohuan really wanted to ask Mama Tian, there is also a princess with a bad heart and a prince who doesn't care about his own son, why don't you mention it!

Mai Xiaofang was a little moved by what Mama Tian said, and she even revealed in front of her sister the idea of following Zhou Yue to the capital: "Don't you want to go home?" Do you think the Chenwang Mansion is so easy to enter? Even if there is a life to enter, it is unknown whether it will come out or not, as far as I know, it is Zhou Yue's stepmother who is now in charge of the Chenwang Mansion, do you think she will be kind to the people Zhou Yue brought back? Surviving in that kind of environment, one will lose his life if he is not careful.

Freedom and unrestrained, the days that may be ordinary or the days of wealth but may lose their lives at any time, which do you choose? ”

After thinking about it for two days, Mai Xiaofang told her sister that she would choose her first life.

After appeasing the second sister who was ape-hearted, Mai Xiaohuan went to Zhou Yue to ask about Qu Hao again, and after asking a few times, Zhou Yue threw her a sentence: "Qu Hao won the top prize, now you are happy." ”

"Ahh I knew that Brother Qu would definitely be able to do it, can I take half a day off? Let me go to the county guard and say congratulations. ”

What Mai Xiaohuan didn't expect was that Zhou Yue agreed very happily this time, and he was granted leave in the afternoon of the same day.

But Mai Xiaohuan went to the county guard mansion to find out that Qu Hao had not come back at all, and he still had to face the saint, the champion had to parade the streets, and participate in the teacher appreciation banquet and the Qionglin banquet......

Damn Zhou Yue, he must have done it on purpose, as a native of the capital, how could he not know these things that his stepmother said as a native of the capital, as a royal child!

Mai Xiaohuan, who was secretly poking and grinding his teeth, thought that when he went back at night, he would give this guy some croton! When she poured half a jar of salt into the dish, she suddenly heard Qu Zhiyi call her.

"Father-in-law, you told me something?"

"Something! Father-in-law has spoken out a little earlier now, but I hope you will be prepared not to be too sudden. ”

So serious! Mai Xiaohuan looked up at Qu Zhiyi and waited for the following. Qu Zhiyi beckoned Mai Xiaohuan to his side, this child was distressed to look at, if she wanted, he would take her back to the capital.

"According to the practice of officialdom, your eldest brother will probably be assigned to the Hanlin Academy or be released as a magistrate, I and he both want to choose to be released, if this is the case, the father-in-law will be transferred back to the capital, and the possibility of your eldest brother staying in Qingcheng County is very small, so ...... Stepfather would like to ask you what you think, whether you would like to follow us back to the capital or stay in your hometown of Shaxi Village! ”

"Will my eldest brother go far away?"

Qu Zhiyi shook his head, he didn't dare to speculate on the holy will casually, but judging from his many years of experience as an official, the possibility of his son staying in Qingcheng County was very small.

Mai Xiaohuan never thought of leaving her father and mother alone or taking her second sister to the capital, she believed that she would give herself a few years, and through her own efforts, she could go to the capital to walk and see. is not to be the righteous daughter of the county and the personal maid of King Chen, but to go to the capital in a dignified manner without changing his name, sitting or changing his surname, and with the identity of Mai Xiaohuan.

Seeing Mai Xiaohuan shaking his head, Qu Zhiyi was not surprised at all, he had known her for more than a year, and he still knew a little bit about Mai Xiaohuan's temperament: "Don't worry, my father-in-law has the right to recommend the next county guard, if it is really the person I recommended to come to Qingcheng County to be the county guard, I will let him take care of your family." ”

"Father, you don't have to worry about me, I will take care of myself and my family, maybe I will visit you in the capital in a few years! When you want to go back to the capital, don't forget to send someone to inform me, I will definitely come over to send my stepfather and stepmother. ”

Lin held Mai Xiaohuan in his arms, poor little girl, how could she be born in such an environment, how good it would be if she was her own daughter!

Qu Zhiyi asked about Mai Xiaohuan's forehead injury again, of course Mai Xiaohuan wouldn't tell the truth, so he had to lie and cover up the past. Qu Zhiyi is not Tang Yujun, through Tang Yujun's description, he vaguely noticed that there was an extraordinary relationship between Mai Xiaohuan and Zhou Yue: "Aren't you studying with the county lord?" How did it appear in Yue Gongzi's Yifeng Garden? ”

Sure enough, she couldn't hide it from her father-in-law, Mai Xiaohuan concealed the tense and exciting confrontation scenes between her and Zhou Yue, and briefly talked about how because Mai Xiaofang strayed into Yifeng Garden, Zhou Yue walked to the courtyard in his spare time to eat the food he cooked, and he is now responsible for reading books and making snacks for Zhou Yue.

"You make snacks for Mr. Yue, do the grandmothers and entourage around him know?" This is a big deal, and you can't afford to be careless. Zhou Yue's identity is so sensitive now, the princess in King Chen's mansion is constantly moving in the capital, if this child is used by someone with a heart, the consequences will be unimaginable!

Mai Xiaohuan comforted his father-in-law and said, "Don't worry! When I cook food for Yue Gongzi, there are people from Yifeng Garden next to me, and every time Xiaofuzi will test the poison with a silver needle to ensure that there is no problem. ”

"In short, you have to be more careful when you speak and do things in front of Yue Gongzi, in my opinion...... In the end, the position of the prince of King Chen will fall into the hands of this one. "Let's not mention that the queen mother's attitude towards Zhou Yue's biological mother and the current Princess Chen is very different, let's just say that the emperor's attitude towards King Chen's two sons is also very different. If Zhou Yue's illness can be cured, the emperor will never give the position of the prince to others.

Lin said angrily to her husband: "How can you say such things in front of your children!" ”

Mai Xiaohuan pretended not to understand their words, laughed twice at the two of them, and admired the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

After returning to the Lotus Courtyard, when Mai Xiaohuan was thinking about how to deal with Zhou Yue, Xiaoquanzi came over to spread the word that Gongzi was going to eat five-color rice balls tonight.

Do you want to add some stones, bones or something to the rice balls? Mai Xiaohuan, who didn't dare to implement the plan, resolutely refused to send food to Zhou Yue, and when she arrived at Zhou Yue's residence at night, she only cleaned outside, and refused to enter Zhou Yue's bedroom even a step.

Zhou Yue, who came out with a smile, grabbed Mai Xiaohuan's sleeve and asked knowingly: "What's wrong with you, I also gave me leave if you want to!" I should be happy to come back after going out for a walk, why is my face getting longer and longer? ”

Mai Xiaohuan pursed her lips tightly and said nothing, she is now a maid, just do a good job as a maid, and there is nothing to say to people like Zhou Yue.

Zhou Yue was really angry when she saw Mai Xiaohuan for the first time today, she didn't cry like other little girls, and she didn't tell her grievances, she just lowered her head and ignored people, and she didn't even want to give each other a look.

What happened to these two people? Xiaoquanzi and Mai Xiaofang made eye contact for a long time and made a decision - withdraw!

It just so happened that Mai Xiaohuan didn't want to do it anymore, she pulled back Zhou Yue's sleeve and went out with the two of them. Zhou Yue slapped the table angrily, and swept a set of purple sand tea sets to the ground.

In the next few days, Mai Xiaohuan's eyes were as if he didn't see Zhou Yue, and he went to work after the perfunctory salute, and he would never approach him if he could avoid Zhou Yue. Zhou Yue has never bowed his head to anyone except the emperor and the queen mother, and wants to punish Mai Xiaohuan! I've already sworn that I won't punish her! Dare to ignore yourself, no one dares to treat yourself like this! She must not be given such a habit.

Feeling this strange atmosphere between the two people, Mai Xiaofang, Xiaoquanzi, and Xiaofuzi became more cautious in doing things, and several people also persuaded Mai Xiaohuan in private, bowed their heads, and admitted that they had made a mistake.

Didn't he endure all the oppression, sarcasm, and harassment of others? But he knew that it would be impossible for Brother Qu to go home, and it would be too much to play on himself! The common people are also dignified, even if he is a high-ranking royal disciple, he can't play with others like this!

In this matter, Mai Xiaohuan resolutely refused to admit her mistake, and Zhou Yue also played a child's temper and was unwilling to give in to her. The two of them are vindictive, but Xiaoquanzi and a few people are worried, when will such a depressing day be a head!
