Chapter Eighty-Eight: Clever Plans

"Miss, it's not early, you better rest early."

Lime and the other four personal rings came in one after another to urge, but Shui Ningyan still sat at the round table and pondered, indifferent. Now that the mother and the man have fallen out, how can she still have the mind to sleep.

"Lime, are you going to find out where he is tonight?" After a long time, Shui Ningyan suddenly spoke.

Lime was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized who the "he" in her young lady's mouth was referring to.

"Okay, miss, slave and maid will go." As the words fell, Lime left in a hurry.

"He Shou, you go to the courtyard to break a finger-thick cinnamon branch." Shui Ningyan then commanded.

Although He Shou didn't know what her young lady was doing with cinnamon branches, she still did it. At this time, Bai Zhi and Yu Jin were also very curious about what Shui Ningyan was going to do, so the two of them also stayed and waited. Then I saw Shui Ningyan holding a knife and began to carve on the half-cut cinnamon branch. She is skillful and lightweight, like a master carver. The three onlookers were stunned.

"What is Miss carving?"

Shui Ningyan smiled mysteriously, "You'll know later." ”

He Shou, Bai Zhi, and Yu Jin were speechless for a moment, but they still gathered around with great interest to watch their young lady's skilled carving skills. After a long time, the cinnamon branch in Shui Ningyan's hand had begun to look like a hairpin.

The three of them suddenly realized that their young lady was going to make a wooden hairpin. But today's young lady is rich, with golden hairpins, silver hairpins, and hostas...... What kind of hairpin do you want, why do you have to work so hard to make it yourself. Although they couldn't figure it out, the three of them didn't bother, just quietly stood aside, and burned the lights in the room brighter in order to facilitate the carving of water condensation.

After a while, Lime came back to his life, "Miss, the master is still in the study at this time." ”

"Okay, got it." The water condensation smoked and smiled.

Next, Shui Ningyan continued to carve the wooden hairpin intently, and when it was finally completed, the four maiden rings couldn't help but admire. I saw a lifelike orchid carved on the wooden hairpin, the petals were clearly recognizable, and it looked very elegant.

"Wow, miss, your craft is so good."

"This wooden hairpin is so beautiful!"

"Miss, why does the slave look at this wooden hairpin with some familiarity, as if she has seen it somewhere."

Hearing this, Shui Ningyan pursed his lips and smiled. Shen Yuexin had an almost identical wooden hairpin before, which Shui Ziru had made for Shen Yuexin with his own hands. It was only later accidentally broken by condensation.

"Okay, Bai Zhi, you go and pick a good-looking box, I'm going to put the hairpin in it." Shui Ningyan played with the wooden hairpin in his hand and said with a smile.

"Okay, slave and maid will go." Bai Zhi went away happily.

"Yujin, go get a pen and paper."

Lime and He Shou glanced at each other, and the two vaguely guessed that it seemed that their young lady was planning to give away this hairpin. This wooden hairpin is delicate and small, and at first glance it is the object used by women. Could it be that the object of the lady's gift is a woman?

Lime suddenly moved in her heart and said, "Miss, the slave maid said why this hairpin looks so familiar." Didn't the lord give such a wooden hairpin to his wife, and in the end it was broken by the young lady. ”

Shui Ningyan smiled indifferently at the lime, noncommittal. At this time, Bai Zhi had already taken a small box of rosewood, which was engraved with complex and beautiful patterns, exuding a quiet fragrance, which was perfect for this hairpin.

"Miss, what are you going to write?" Yu Jin reflexively came back and put the pen and paper in front of Shui Ningyan, and asked curiously.

"Love poems." Shui Ningyan smiled slyly at the four girls.

"Love poems?" The four girls were all stunned.

However, He Shou was the first to react, and said in surprise: "Miss, are you planning to give these to Madame on the orders of the master?" ”

Shui Ningyan nodded, and pondered for a moment before saying: "Obviously, the two of them have each other in their hearts, but because they can't wipe their faces, they have been disguising themselves, hurting each other and hurting themselves at the same time." ”

"But Miss, Madame's side has solved it, but what about the master's side?" Lime said worriedly.

Shui Ningyan pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "This is easy to do, doesn't Daddy like to drink Babao Drunken Chicken Soup the most?" Lime, you do it now, and when I finish going to the Moon Dance Pavilion, I will go to the study and send it over in the name of my mother. ”

"Wow, Miss is so smart. I believe that the lord and lady will be able to eliminate the estrangement and get back together. When the four girls heard this, they all said happily.

Shui Ningyan also thought that this method was good, and she picked up her pen and pondered for a while, and then wrote it on the paper. I saw her write: "The lonely empty courtyard is about to dawn in spring, and the deep trees occasionally smell birds." Last night, the cold wind disturbed, and the dream of a single dream bloomed less. A swaying stick of incense fills the swamp, and the moon is shining outside the window. Turning his fingers is soft, and sadness is the most difficult. ”

Although a few girls are not good at poetry, they also feel catchy when they read the poems on the paper. Before the other three girls could comment on it, Lime couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss, are you imitating the master's handwriting?" How can it be so similar! If it weren't for the slave who knew in advance that it was written by you, I'm afraid I would really think it was the master's handwriting! ”

Among the four rings, only Lime stayed in the General's Mansion for the longest time, so Shui Ziru's handwriting was not unfamiliar to Lime.

Shui Ningyan smiled proudly, "Naturally, you should do enough drama, otherwise you think your mother is easy to deceive." ”

Several girls hurriedly nodded in agreement, "Miss Bingxue is smart, I believe that this time I will definitely let the lady and the master accept each other." ”

"I hope so."

When Shui Ningyan arrived at the Moon Dance Pavilion, Shen Yuexin hadn't fallen asleep yet, which was within Shui Ningyan's expectations, this mother was only afraid of being full of sorrow now, how could she still have the heart to sleep.

"Yan'er, why are you here so late? Is there something wrong? When she saw the condensation of water, Shen Yuexin asked with a puzzled expression.

"Mother, Yan'er is naturally in trouble, so I bothered you so late." Shui Ningyan kept his hands behind his back and grinned.

"Oh, tell me what's going on." Shen Yuexin cheered up and said with a smile.

"Naturally, it is entrusted by people and loyal to people."

"What do you mean?" Shen Yue looked at Shui Ningyan suspiciously, and then continued, "Okay, you don't want to sell Guanzi." ”

Hearing this, Shui Ningyan smiled, and immediately took out a sandalwood box from behind him and handed it to Shen Yuexin, and said mysteriously: "As long as my mother opens this box, everything will naturally be known." ”

Seeing the mysterious appearance of the water condensation smoke god, Shen Yuexin opened the box as she said, and when she saw the wooden hairpin inside, her body shook suddenly, although she tried her best to maintain her composure, but the clenched slender hand still revealed her emotions.

"This is ......," Shen Yuexin said with some difficulty.

Shui Ningyan said with a smile: "Mother, this is what my father entrusted me to give you." ”

"Then why didn't he come himself?"

Although Shen Yuexin's face showed a disdainful expression, Shui Ningyan could see that she had been moved, and she would only deliberately put on a straight face for the sake of face.

"Hehe, mother, my father is also the head of the family, you have to take care of his face. There is also a piece of paper in this box, which was written by my father to my mother. Shui Ningyan grabbed Shen Yuexin's arm and said coquettishly.

Hearing this, Shen Yuexin took out the paper inside and unfolded it. Shui Ningyan stole a glance at Shen Yuexin's expression from the corner of her eyes, but saw that her eyes were gloomy and happy, and her narrow eyelashes were filled with mist.

Seeing this, Shui Ningyan immediately knew that her plan was half successful. For a moment, the corners of his lips secretly hooked up a smile.

In the study, Shui Ziru sat in front of the bookcase, upset. His eyes were fixed on the books, but his mind kept reminding of the scenes that had taken place in the hall during the day. At that moment, a soft knock on the door brought him back to his senses.

"Who is it?"

"Master, the concubine is here to bring you supper." With a coquettish voice, the door was pushed open from the outside, and Aunt Qin came with a tray in her hand.

Tonight, she dressed up carefully, only to see a light pink light gauze dress, a few bright red peonies embroidered on the goose-yellow bandeau, and a long concubine-colored skirt outlining exquisite curves. The face that has always been plain white is also smeared with some light pastel today, adding more brilliance, using hosta to curl up the hair, and the bangs on the forehead are slightly slanted, which is a little more mature charm. The slender willow eyebrows set off the eyes like a pool of spring water, and the rosy lips are slightly opened, which is indescribably charming and seductive. It's just that Shui Ziru didn't want to appreciate it at this time, looked up at Aunt Qin, and continued to bury his head.

Aunt Qin put the tray on the bookcase, scooped a bowl of pearl white fungus soup and handed it to Shui Ziru, and said softly: "This is made by the concubine especially for you, you can eat it while it's hot." ”

"Let it go, General Ben is not hungry." Shui Ziru picked up the book and said lightly.

Aunt Qin saw that Shui Ziru was in a bad mood, but she didn't dare to say much. She put down the soup bowl, moved to Shui Ziru, and said with a smile: "The concubine has recently learned a new set of massage techniques, why don't you feel the craftsmanship of the concubine?" ”

"Okay." Shui Ziru replied lukewarmly.

This time Shui Ziru did not refuse, and Aunt Qin was immediately overjoyed. She immediately cheered up her spirits, rolled up her sleeves and began to knead Shui Ziru's shoulders vigorously.

Shui Ziru has been tired all the way, and now under Aunt Qin's massage, his eyes are gradually closed. Aunt Qin looked at that handsome and extraordinary face, and her heart suddenly beat faster. Secretly calculating how to get this man's favor tonight, who knew that she was too engaged, and she didn't come back to her senses until a sticky drop fell from her forehead.

Stretched out her hand and wiped it on her forehead at will, and when she saw that her hand was actually yellow and green bird feces, Aunt Qin suddenly screamed in shock. And the initiator of random defecation is hovering over Aunt Qin's head, and she is making a smug chirping.
