That year, when Aunt Lin and Wanying were offering incense in the Huazang Temple outside the city, they saw Hongfu who was about to starve to death on the side of the road, and picked her up by chance to find out: she was a desert to the capital, her parents and mother starved to death halfway, died of illness, and she was the only one who was pitifully begging for food in front of the temple gate.

It is also the favor of fate, when Wanying got off the sedan chair, she somehow unintentionally hung up the purse and was snatched away by a group of little beggars, Hongfu took it back with her life and returned it to Wanying, Wanying saw that she was so small, and in order to snatch the purse and get injuries everywhere, she begged Aunt Lin to take her back to the house. Later, Hongfu became Wanying's personal maid, and the two of them were called master servants, like sisters.

Hongfu was originally one year older than Wanying, and she had received Wanying's favor before, so she was dedicated to Wanying and took care of Wanying. Whatever is beneficial to Wanying, there is no need for others to say, she naturally takes the lead, and in turn, whenever anything is unfavorable to Wanying, she also does her best to resist. So seeing her sad, Wanying's heart also hurt.

The few peach trees that were cut down, only Wanying knew, it was a little thought of Hongfu to her dead mother, Hongfu once told Wanying: her mother's name is Peach Blossom, and she also likes peach blossoms, and there is a peach tree planted by her mother in front of Hongfu's old house. Hongfu Niang said to Hongfu, "Peach blossoms are the most understanding of human nature, spring blooming for people to see, whether it is poor or rich, as long as you are willing to take a look, it is the same peach, scorching its bloom." Hongfu not only likes the peach blossoms in the courtyard in spring, but also likes the peaches in the summer, the children of the poor family, from the flowers to the flowers, from a small mung bean to the size of a fist, and then from green to yellow, sometimes I can't help but eat one, sour and regretful, Hongfu Niang has long counted how many peaches are on the tree, and protects the fruit on the tree like a thief every day. Finally, when the peaches were ripe, the best quality was naturally placed on the side of the post road and exchanged for copper coins, and the guests picked the rest, which became the treasures of Hongfu and his younger brother. Hongfu was ignorant when she was a child, and she always wished that she would buy peaches for less money and have more leftovers, and sometimes she secretly scratched the intact peaches while her mother was not paying attention.

Wanying knew that it was the happiest time in Hongfu's life. It was also Wanying who begged her mother, and also planted a few peach trees in front of the courtyard of the Xizhen Pavilion.

It's just that I don't know why, in the second year, when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the master had a strange disease, and when he sought medical advice in many ways to no avail, Aunt Gao drummed up and invited a fortune teller from outside, and the person pinched and calculated, so he went straight to the Wanying Treasure Pavilion, pointed to the peach blossom trees and said that the master was destined to commit the peach blossom and was possessed by the peach blossom demon. If you cut down this tree, you will be cured of your illness.

That day, I saw Aunt Gao receiving the order from her wife, with a few domestic servants, holding shovels, and digging violently, Hongfu couldn't stop crying, thanks to Aunt Lin holding it and locking it upstairs. This saved his life.

Wanying watched her close the window, her hand still held on to the window, knowing that Hongfu remembered the peach tree again, she walked up to Hongfu and said, "Hongfu, don't think about it, if you like peach blossoms, Wanying begs Daddy to plant a few more trees in our yard." ”

"Thank you, miss, no need. More is better than less, the last time the milk cake was in a uproar, and even the aunt and the young lady were wronged, and Hongfu was already very overwhelmed in her heart. Miss's heart, Hongfu remembers it in her heart. Hongfu is based on Wanying in everything, and Wanying knows that she doesn't want to give herself and her mother more trouble because of her.

"Besides, my mother has been gone for so many years, and Hongfu should also let go. My mother is a good person, she has suffered a lot in this life, and she must be happy when she gets there. Hongfu said, her face rising with a happy glow, and she seemed to have seen her mother's happiness in other realms. He also said: "Miss and aunt are kind to Hongfu, Hongfu is used to repay kindness in this life, Hongfu only has two relatives now, that is, aunt and miss, but Miss don't think Hongfu is high." She was afraid that Wanying would worry about her, so she comforted Wanying in turn.

"How could it be, Wanying has always regarded you as a sister in her heart." Wan Ying said admiringly, taking her hand.

"With Miss's words, even if Hongfu dies, it is worth it." Hongfu said with tears in her eyes.

"Don't cry, don't think about it, okay?" Wanying continued to comfort her.

"Got it, miss, Hongfu doesn't want to." Although Hongfu heard Wanying say that she regarded her as a sister in her heart, she didn't take it big herself, and still spoke in the tone of a maid.

I didn't hear anyone coming up on the stairs, and when I entered the house, I saw that it was indeed my mother. As soon as the mother entered the house, she said: "Just now your Ruichun aunt came over and said, the master has found a good painter in the past few days, and he will come to the house tomorrow to paint a portrait of Wanyun and you, can you think about it, where to paint?" ”

"It's okay to go anywhere, and it's not a big deal?" Wan Ying said this on her lips, and she thought so in her heart, Wan Ying didn't know who the person she would marry in the future would be, even if he was the Son of Heaven, Wan Ying didn't know anything about him, and she was really unhappy. On the contrary, when he thought that he was about to leave the house, his heart was inexplicably painful. So the whole thing Wanying was not only unhappy, but a little resistant, wishing it was as late as possible. But in fact, it backfired, and there were only a few days left before the third day of September.

"In the end, you have to make it clear, otherwise how can you draw it when Mr. comes? Is the wife still waiting for a reply? Aunt Lin saw that Wanying was so unconcerned, so the wife replied.

"Then let's be in this house, anyway, it's raining these days, and I can't go to the west garden and the back garden." Wanying lazily returned.

"Then I'll go back to my wife." After saying that, she left.

"Miss, with a beautiful face and a beautiful appearance, she will definitely be a concubine in the future. I'm just waiting for that day. Hongfu said.

"The concubine is not a concubine, Wanying is not rare, Wanying just asks her mother to be safe and secure at home," Wanying said.

"Don't worry, miss, there is a master in the house who is thoughtful, and we are serving, and my aunt and grandmother will not be wronged." Hongfu also knew Wanying's thoughts, and persuaded Wanying to say.

"I hope so." Wan Ying said in amazement. Thinking that the second sister of Wanyun is also waiting to be selected, Aunt Gao must be proud, I hope that she is happy now, and she can forget the old things of the previous year, and it is difficult to be a mother.
