The frost melted the water, and it slowly descended along the mandarin duck tiles, sounding a few sporadic ticks.

Pei Yaowei opened her eyes, looked at Chengchen on the top of the tent for a while, and called out: "Yu Xu." ”

Not long after, Yu Xu came with a lamp, opened the embroidery tent and persuaded softly: "Girl, sleep for a while, it's only five watches!" ”

Pei Yaowei couldn't sleep.

Since she saw Xiangyao the day before, she has been a little uneasy in her heart. Thinking of Xiangyu's brother's biological mother, coupled with the spring altar, the horse-like punishment kneeling, she was only afraid that the tree wanted to be quiet and the wind would not stop, and something would happen again in the ten days before the marriage date.

Dressed and got up, the sky outside was still drowsy, there were faint fragments of snow, and the difference in the air was comparable to that of sprinkling salt.

Yu Xu came in with water, and then came over to close the window, "It's the cold season of spring, girl watch out for your body!" ”

"It's spring, and there is still snow to fall, and the weather is rare at this time this year." Pei Yao said, came over to wash up, sat in front of the dressing table, and combed her hair by Yu Xu.

At this hour, the inner courtyard was still silent. With her hair combed halfway, Pei Yao snorted softly and asked Yu Xu, "Do you hear any sound?" ”

"Voice?" Yu Xu was stunned, and said disapprovingly: "It's the little girls outside who sprinkle the court!" ”

She listened carefully, but shook her head: "It's not like it, it's like a voice in the room...... Listen carefully to ......"

She said that she had a nose and eyes, and Yu Xu also took it to heart, stopped the movements of her hands, listened carefully for a long time with bated breath, and moved her brows: "Hey, yes, where did this sound come from, it's a bit like ...... Frog quacks? ”

Frog?

The location of this dormitory is remote, there is not even a pond nearby, and it is this season, where does the frog cry come from?

Thinking of this, Pei Yao's heart tightened, and she got up suddenly, startling Yu Xu.

"Light the lamp, call the little maids in, and find out where this sound came from!"

When Yu Xu heard this, she felt that the girl was a little soldier, and just wanted to persuade her, but at this moment, a small jar of osmanthus oil on the dressing table fell to the ground, attracting the eyes of both of them.

"Auntie...... Girl, look at that thing behind the mirror, is it a frog? ”

In the West Garden, Xiang Yao had just gotten up, and Cunyu hurriedly ran in from outside, and came up with a sentence: Oh no!

Xiang Yao glanced at her, bowed and splashed a handful of water on his face, and then asked, "Can't you change the sentence to a nice one?" ”

Cunyu said: "Something happened!" ”

He wiped his face, sat down and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"That colorful frog yesterday, somehow, went to the courtyard of the four girls, and almost bit someone early in the morning!"

Xiang Yao's movements were stagnant, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he said in his heart, this is a coincidence.

Cunyu hurriedly said: "Childe, are you still sitting here without moving?" I heard that the son of the world has passed, and there is no need for others to say this, we can't get rid of it! ”

In the whole house, there is only one person who loves to tinker with these things.

"What's the hurry?" Xiang Yao said, "Didn't you say that it was still a little close?" Is it a false alarm? ”

Cunyu was stunned, nodded and said, "That's good." I heard that it was a rough girl in the courtyard of the four girls, who took a hairpin and stabbed the frog to death, so it didn't hurt anyone! ”

"Stabbed?" Xiang Yao frowned, and sneered inexplicably for a while: "Heh, it damaged a rare thing for me!" ”

This colorful frog was originally a rare poisonous substance obtained by Xiangyao in the south, although the size is about the same size as ordinary frogs, but it has a mouthful of sharp teeth, agile movements, and amazing bouncing power, and is named because of its colorful body. This frog secretes a venom in its mouth, which is extremely poisonous, and it is said that no one who has been bitten by it has survived.

The Shen clan of the southern wang clan once issued a bounty, and the world searched for a famous doctor who could cure the poison of the colorful frog, and now, the bounty has exceeded 10,000 taels of yellow and white, but no one can cure this poison.

When Xiangyao came to Xiangyao's courtyard, it was already dawn.

He came in slowly, and before anyone arrived, he heard the voice first: "I heard that someone has injured the baby I have worked so hard to find, stand up and show me, which one is so bold!" ”

Pei Yao's eyes fell on him, and when she remembered the scene of Shicai, she still had palpitations.

At that time, the candles in the house were dim, and she and Yu Xu suddenly saw a frog that looked so gorgeous, and they were a little stunned for a while. When he came back to his senses, Yu Xu was still rare, so he wanted to catch it and take a look, just between the lightning and flint, Pei Yao, who had always felt that this frog was familiar, finally remembered its name.

Spotted frogs.

Legend has it that something more poisonous than a five-step snake has a bright skin, but the more beautiful it is, the more harmful it is. In the past, she had only seen this name in the codex left by her brother-in-law.

I heard that this thing can't be frightened, and it attacks people, and it moves very quickly.

She grabbed Yu Xu and told her to slowly withdraw and go to the small kitchen to find a big pot, Yu Xu was frightened by her appearance, and didn't dare to say much, so she did it immediately. I called two little maids outside to help, and when I carried the cauldron into the door, I saw that my girl was still standing in place, carefully confronting the thing. At some point, the frog jumped to the ground.

As soon as the pot arrived, Pei Yao settled down a little, and cautiously instructed the maid to carry the pot over, intending to detain it from a distance.

However, this is when the change happened.

A little maid carrying the pot was nervous by this battle, mixed garlic under her feet, and directly dropped the pot, Pei Yao sighed in her heart, and when she looked at it, she saw that the frog jumped up and jumped up, she hurriedly ran out, but in an instant, the colorful frog pounced on another little girl.

Pei Yao gasped, and the scene seemed to come to an abrupt end. After waiting for a while, she realized that the frog had jumped on the girl, but it had not moved.

At this moment, the little girl moved.

"Don't be afraid, girl," she turned around, smiled faintly at Pei Yao, and raised her hand, "The slave has poked it to death!" ”

Right now, Xiang Yao came in like this, and the exit was still like this, and the anger in Pei Yao's heart was aroused at once.

She was about to speak, but she saw that the little girl had already consciously come out of the ranks, bowed to Xiangyao, and said, "Back to the second son, it's a slave." ”

Xiangyao was slightly flustered.

Didn't you say that she was a rough girl? Why is this in front of you, born more than a daughter?

He squinted, looked at her for a moment, and snorted, "Little girl, how dare you grow?" ”

"Back to the second son, the slave and maid only have one guts, your love scares my girl, the slave and the maid take the lead, and naturally can't take care of the animals." As she spoke, she knelt down, "If there is any offense to the second son, please punish the son." ”

Xiang Yao took a half step back and began to ponder condescendingly.

"Why should the second brother be aggressive?" Pei Yao stepped forward, helped the kneeling person up, looked at Xiang Yao and said: "Your thing is really rare in terms of rarity, but its rarity is not only in that skin, but also in the ability to see blood and seal the throat." If I don't make a move, I'm afraid that in a few days, the king of Chu will have no princess to marry, right? ”

"I only saw you when I came back, you never left the king of Chu again and again, you really climbed the high branches, and you also learned the power of the fox and the tiger?" Xiang Yao said, and suddenly remembered something, "Hmm", "...... I forgot! Fox fake tiger might, is it your consistent strength, in the past it was through Queen Renyi, and now it is His Royal Highness the King of Chu, I really don't know if your backer this time will last longer than the last time? ”

When he said this, Pei Yaowei calmed down.

She smiled faintly and asked someone to take the corpse of the colorful frog and hand it to Xiang Yao: "The second brother is right, the little sister is used to being a fox and a fake tiger - this is also a helpless thing, who called the Xiang family a big business, but I can only earn my life alone?" As for whether the backer will last long this time, it will have to wait until it is unreliable before there is an answer, don't you say? ”

Xiangyao looked at her and didn't speak.

"As for this thing, it belongs to its rightful owner. Xiaomei hopes that in the next ten days, my yard can be peaceful, otherwise, you don't blame me for ignoring my disdain. ”

Xiang Yao picked up the dead frog with his bare hands and played it for a moment, his brows moved imperceptibly, and then he laughed and said, "Heh, you really dare to say this mouth, you ......"

"Second brother."

A sudden voice interrupted him, and the two looked at each other, and saw Xiang Ying walking in with a serious face. Xiang Yao's mind moved, and he said with a smile: "Changchu, this time I came back, you and I haven't seen it yet!" ”

Xiangying glanced at Pei Yao, turned around and bowed to Xiangyao, "Father is in Nanyuan, please ask the second brother to go." ”

As soon as Xiang Ying led Xiang Yao away, the room was completely quiet.

"It's been a busy morning, and I haven't had a chance to thank you properly." Pei Yaowei took the little girl to the warm pavilion to talk, and gave the seat and tea, "If I'm not mistaken, you said that your name is ...... 'Qingchen'?" ”

"Yes, the slave and maid stay in the light dust, and give the girl a gift!"

Pei Yao looked at her quietly for a long time, and said with a smile: "When did a girl born with such a standard come to me on an errand?" I don't remember! ”

Su Qingchen said with a smile: "If you go back to the girl, it hasn't been long since the slave maid was bought, and it has only been a few days since she was assigned to the girl to be responsible for sprinkling and sweeping the courtyard, no wonder the girl doesn't remember." ”

Pei Yaowei nodded, thought about it, called Yu Xu, and rewarded this girl with a lot of things.

After Su Qingchen left, Yu Xu asked puzzledly: "The girl looks like this girl very much, and she is really dedicated to today's affairs, why don't you transfer her into the room to wait?" ”

Pei Yaowei stood in front of the door, her eyes slowly moving from the dressing table in the inner room to the courtyard.

She said softly, "No hurry. ”

After Xiang Yao was called away by Xiang Tao, he reprimanded him very much in front of Mrs. Huan.

Originally, Xiang Tao had a lot of complaints about his hobby of medicine and toxicology, but this time he almost killed someone, which gave him more and more reasons to publicize it. was just reprimanded in front of Mrs. Huan, and Xiang Yao was still quite surprised.

"It's okay now, when you came back, you were punished for thinking about it behind closed doors, and what it looked like when it was passed out!"

On the way back to Xiyuan, Cunyu complained to him, but Xiangyao seemed to be nothing, and he only said in his heart, spread it? The future princess of Chu, can my father let this matter go!

He thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "Recently, the relationship between my father and Mrs. Huan seems to be a lot more harmonious?" ”

Cunyu was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, and remembered that Mrs. Shicaihuan had said a lot of luxurious things for her son-in-law, and she was not embarrassed to complain at this time, so she only said: "It's really like a newlywed Yan'er, and everyone in the house thinks it's rare!" ”

Xiang Yao frowned, pondered for a long time, and did not speak again.

I thought that there was a colorful frog in the Xiang Yu room, and Xiang Tao came forward to punish Xiang Yao, and the matter was over. But I never thought that two days later, Pei Yaowei was sitting in the warm pavilion reading a book, and saw Yu Xu come in in a hurry to report the news, saying that Mrs. Huan went to see the second son, and after a while, Nanyuan fainted!

Pei Yao stood up suddenly, her eyebrows narrowed.
