In the evening, the house sent off the guests, and Shui Qianqiu also made dinner in his own yard, but before he could eat, a group of people came over.

"Father, Mrs. Ann." Shui Qianqiu saluted respectfully, now that she is a person under the eaves and has to bow her head, even if she is unwilling, she can't let people find the wrong place.

Master Shui sat on the main seat, looked at the old furnishings in the courtyard and didn't say anything, Autumn Leaves served tea, Master Shui just sniffed it and put down the teacup: "Why did you fall into the water today?" ”

The daughter didn't know that Ben was feeding the fish by the pond, as if someone behind her had pushed her and accidentally fell into the pond. As for who it was, the daughter did not see it. ”

Mizuchiaki is telling the truth, the original body did not fall into the pond on purpose, but was pushed down by someone.

"Isn't it for marriage?" Master Shui looked at her a little unkindly, Shui Qianqiu lowered his eyes and said softly: "How can my daughter be so confused? Deliberately diving for marriage on such an important occasion? Doesn't it ruin the reputation of the house? ”

Wang pinched the handkerchief and nodded, "Yes, the second girl will never be so confused, I think there must be a misunderstanding in it." ”

"I hope it's a misunderstanding, and others make outsiders think that the second sister is afraid that I will marry, and she deliberately did this from a high place, which disturbed the banquet." Shui Qianzi sighed faintly, and Shui Qianqiu raised her eyebrows slightly: "How could the big sister think so?" Our sisters are both prosperous and lossy. It's that I'm jealous of my big sister, how can I joke about my reputation? As the daughter of the Shui family, she still has this integrity. ”

The old man Shui was quite satisfied with this, and the unkindness on his face was also restrained a lot, and he looked at her and said with concern: "If you fall into the water today, can you pass on the house doctor to see it?" No fever, right? ”

"Thanks to her father's care, my daughter doesn't feel uncomfortable, she has always done a lot of rough work in the past, and she is strong and not susceptible to illness." Shui Qianqiu looked docile, but when Master Shui heard his daughter say this, he couldn't help but look at the Wang family with some complaints: "How do you manage the house?" Look at the dilapidation of the second girl here, she doesn't even have a maid on weekdays, so it's unfair to spread it out and not make people laugh? ”

Wang's expression was a little aggrieved, he got up and saluted and said: "Is it a concubine, in the past, I didn't know that this gang of slaves had neglected the second girl so much, and the second girl had a soft personality, and never said it to the concubine." The concubine has already bought a rough maid and a maid, and she will be sent over later. ”

"Well, that's how it should be. The furnishings in this courtyard are too old, or is it a joke for people to see it? Don't fall into the reputation of treating your concubine badly. Master Shui said lightly, and Wang's blessing responded: "Yes, the concubine knows." ”

Shui Qianqiu knew in her heart that this father cared so much about her today, not for the sake of that idea of family affection, but for his own reputation.

"Thank you father and wife for your care." She still saluted respectfully, and Master Shui left without doing much, originally to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, but her few words also made her have no reason to find faults.

For the sake of the reputation of the Shui family everywhere, how can he punish him? If this is spread by a mouthy minion, it will affect the career.

"By the way, in the past, there should be no shortage of examples in the second girl's courtyard, and this tea should not be drunk anymore, it is not fresh. If anyone treats you badly, tell your father, and I will make your decision. ”

Shui Qianqiu was blessed, and he didn't have much joy or anger, and still said meekly: "Yes, my daughter knows." ”

Wang didn't go with Master Shui, but stayed, and the rough maids she just bought were also sent over, she held Shui Qianqiu's hand, and said softly: "You have suffered all these years, and if you have any grievances in the future, just tell your mother, do you know?" ”

"Thank you, ma'am."

Wang slapped her hands, and after a few more words, he left with Shui Qianzi, who glared at her fiercely before leaving, and that expression seemed to say-Don't be too complacent!

Shui Qianqiu didn't take it to heart at all, she leaned in the soft chair, looked at the sour tea leaves and sighed.

"Second Miss, it's time to take a bath." Autumn leaves came over to clean up the tea cup, and by the way, they woke up softly.

She got up and went to the bathroom, Akiba was a personal maid who wanted to follow and wait, the water Qianqiu was soaked in the wooden barrel, and there was a faint mist in front of her: "Akiba, how old are you this year?" ”

"The slave is sixteen years old." Autumn leaves combed her long hair, and Shui Qianqiu looked at her sideways: "Look at you, you seem to be a steady person." ”

"The slave has read the book for a few days, and knows the truth that arrogance cannot be long-term and ambition is not complacent. Since he was ordered to serve the second lady, he should be loyal to the Lord and have no two hearts. Autumn leaves slowly washed her hair, and Shui Qianqiu chuckled: "It's also a smart one." ”

After she finished bathing, she sat in front of the bronze mirror and wiped her body by Autumn Leaves, and there was a sound of ping-pong outside, Autumn Leaves glanced at it and worried: "Do you want to go and see it?" ”

"No, let her go."

The green branch poured the water in the basin and threw the basin out like a gas, they are all close-fitting maids, why do they have to do these rough work? She glanced at the people in the room and couldn't help but stare - how many days can an unfavored young lady be proud?

The next morning, Shui Qianqiu put on a tight dress, pulled up her hair and ran outside the yard. Morning exercise is a must for her, this is a habit developed in her previous life, this body is already weak, if she doesn't exercise, it will be at the mercy of others.

When Akiba got up and started cleaning the yard, she was already sweating and was about to rest.

"Miss, the water is ready, let's go bathe and change clothes. I have to go and say hello to my wife, don't be late. ”

Shui Qianqiu nodded, wiped the sweat from his forehead and went to bathe. When she came out, the autumn leaves would be prepared early, and she ate two bites, and then hurried to the Wang's Evergreen Courtyard.

"It's rare that the second sister will come out to say goodbye, but the sun is coming out in the west." Shui Qianzi looked at her and her eyes were full of unconcealed disgust, Shui Qianqiu didn't mind, and said with a slight smile: "Since they are all the daughters of Shuifu, they should naturally come to invite the mistress to make tea." ”

Shui Qianrong glanced at her quite strangely, why did the second sister fall into the pond once, and her temperament changed so much? She was most afraid of her mother in the past, let alone take the initiative to come to ask for peace, and she wanted to fend for herself in her own yard.

Shui Qingrou kept her head down and didn't say a word, only occasionally glancing at a few times, and her eyes were full of concern, as if she was worried about her falling into the water yesterday.

"Misses, madam, please come in." Madame's mother Wang came out to welcome a few of them in, Shui Qianzi glanced at Shui Qianqiu with disdain, and walked in first.

"Say hello to my mother."

Wang waved his hand, with a smile on his face, and was slightly surprised when he saw Shui Qianqiu coming: "The second girl is also here, let's do it quickly." Did you sleep well yesterday? Sleepless in the middle of the night? ”

Shui Qianqiu got up and said softly: "Thank you mother, I slept well yesterday and had no nightmares." ”

"That's good, you kid, there are a lot of rules, sit down."

Wang looks like a good mother, and Shui Qianqiu also cooperates with her in acting. As long as the Wang family is in power for one day, she will have to be superficially obedient for a day, until she can straighten her back and speak.

During this period, the Wang family was also quite concerned about her, Shui Qianzi was dissatisfied, and when she came out of the courtyard after asking for peace, she grabbed Shui Qianqiu.

"Do you think that if you rush to slap your mother, your mother will love you? Don't dream, that's my mother. ”

Shui Qianqiu was unimpressed by her provocation, and nodded lightly in agreement: "What the eldest sister said, the younger sister naturally understands." ”

"Look at your little family, it's just a virtue with your mother. Let me ask you, how did you hook up with the prince of the Qing Dynasty? Shui Qianzi clenched his fists, yesterday the prince had to take a walk, and pulled a group of people to the second sister's Zhimei Pavilion.

But yesterday, the second sister fell into the water and the guards around the prince went to save him, but if his guards didn't have his intentions, how could they save people?

Shui Qianzi has been in love with the prince for a long time, and she is jealous when she thinks of this.

"What prince?" Shui Qianqiu is puzzled, the memory of the original body doesn't seem to have anything to do with any man, let alone a foreign man, his father and brother have not met a few times, where will he know any foreign man, or a son?

Shui Qianzi sneered and said, "Don't pretend, if you don't seduce the prince, how can he let his guards save you?" Why did you bring your father to your yard, not to help you or for what? Shui Qianqiu, you'd better stay away from the prince, otherwise don't blame me for not being emotional. ”

"I don't know any son, and I don't know why he has done all this, but if you have any questions, the eldest sister should ask him. As for love, when did the big sister talk to me about love? ”

Shui Qianqiu nodded at her slightly, and without waiting for her to say anything else, she opened her mouth: "Big sister go slowly, sister will go back first." ”

Shui Qianzi bit her lip and looked at her back, a trace of viciousness flashed in her eyes.

She seemed to feel the sight behind her, turned her head slightly and sighed silently in her heart when she saw this, holding the handkerchief tightly in her hand, some things can be avoided if you are not afraid, since you can't get along peacefully, you have to find a way to survive for yourself.

She looked down and thought about it, but her eyes inadvertently caught a mark on her wrist, a mark in the shape of a water droplet, half the size of a copper plate. Shui Qianqiu remembered that there was no mark on the original body's hands, so where did this come from? She subconsciously wiped it lightly with her fingers, but she paused suddenly when she saw the scene in front of her.

"Miss, what's wrong?" Green Branches and Autumn Leaves looked at the young lady who suddenly stopped in confusion, Shui Qianqiu shook his head, and his fingers silently wiped the mark again, and then raised his feet and continued walking.

No one would know that in front of Shui Qianqiu just now, there was a translucent square, and that grid was a portable space.
