Chapter 118: The Cat Springs
"So? You just fooled around by slapping on the back? Jiang Changwan didn't save any face for Song Zhi, and said bluntly.
Song Zhi pretended to think seriously about Jiang Changwan's words, and said seriously: "My sister's description is extremely accurate. ”
The two laughed, and Song Zhi said: "Old Mrs. Cui is really looking for Jingyu, but I just think that I was born in a family of military generals, and I am not a family, so I have a little less heritage, and I am not from a scholarly family like my sister-in-law." ”
"Aside from your outstanding appearance, your knowledge and conversation are no worse than your sister-in-law!" Jiang Changwan was indignant for Song Zhi, "The piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all excellent, and even the embroidery is very good." ”
"Sister, you praise me so much that my face is almost red." Song Zhi touched his cheek, "The Cui family has Cui Bingying, and it's good to be able to maintain the politeness on the surface." ”
"The last time I heard about the lynx, I was already scared just by hearing you. It can only be said that Miss Cui is unlucky, and she is also pitiful. Eh, can her scar really heal? ”
"I saw that there was only a red mark on her face, and Concubine Jia was afraid that she had sent all the good medicine in the palace to Cui's mansion." Song Zhi thought back to Cui Bingying's scars.
"Beauty hibiscus face, heh, if the child is a man, he must be a gentleman with a mouth full of rhetoric."
A plate of sour plums was placed in front of Jiang Changwan's eyes month by month, and she glanced at it, only to feel that she had no appetite at all.
"Miss Jiang doesn't like to eat? The slave maid thought that the pregnant man always liked to eat plums. "Month by month, puzzled question.
"I'm afraid it's a girl in my belly, and I don't want to ask about any sourness, but I've been fond of spicy food lately." Jiang Changwan touched her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and said.
"Spicy?" Song Zhi thought for a while, "It seems that there is a batch of good peppers in our house, and I will bring them back to you later, whether it is stewed fish or fried meat, it tastes good." It's just that I can't eat spicy food, and I only feel choked when I smell it. ”
"Miss." Meteor walked in, "Cui Fu sent a post to you, saying that the Erqiao peony in Lanfang Garden will be in full bloom ten days later, and I want you to go and enjoy the flowers." ”
Song Zhi was slightly stunned, and exchanged a puzzled look with Jiang Changwan.
"Is it a post from Cui Bingying?" Jiang Changwan asked.
"Yes." Meteor nodded, "The person who sent the post heard that Miss Jiang was here, so he handed over your post to the slave." ”
"What? Invited me too? I don't have a relationship with the Cui family. "Even Jiang Changwan doesn't understand this time.
"Childish, what kind of medicine do you say is sold in Cui Bingying's gourd?" Jiang Changwan pinched the vermilion invitation and looked it up and down, as if she suspected that there was something wrong with her.
Song Zhi took the post and glanced at it, but he couldn't figure out the trick, and said: "Lanfang Garden is full of flowers and plants, my sister is pregnant, and I am sensitive to the pollen of some flowers, so I might as well refuse." ”
"I'm not afraid, but if you refuse this time, the relationship with the Cui family will be tense again." Jiang Changwan said.
Song Zhi couldn't think of a reason, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and said: "Meteor, go home and ask your sister-in-law to see if she has received a post?" If she also received it, you can inquire and see if the county lord has also gone? ”
"Yes." Meteor was blessed and hurried to go.
"County Lord?" Jiang Changwan threw the post aside, "What? Do you suspect that the county lord did this? ”
"Jing Yu told me that day that the county lord was also at Cui's house, saying that he was sending scar medicine to Cui Bingying." Tao Wanrong hadn't been in front of him for a long time, and Song Zhi had almost forgotten about this person.
"Oh? Is she so kind? Didn't you go to see Cui Bingying's jokes? Jiang Changwan's impression of Tao Wanrong is naturally not good.
"How can anyone come to the door and laugh at others? Even if Tao Wanrong is stupid, he can't do such a thing. Song Zhi said with a smile.
"You can still laugh?! If this matter is not handled well, it is a matter of truth! "Jiang Changwan, this is anxious for Song Zhi! She is pregnant, and she is naturally the largest pregnant woman. But what reason should Song Zhi use to shirk it?
"Wouldn't it be nice if I said I was pollen sensitive?" Song Zhi said indifferently.
"You still say that you are sensitive to pollen, the flowers and plants in your yard?" If Jiang Changwan hadn't known that Song Zhi was indeed allergic to certain pollen, she would have felt that this was an excuse.
Song Zhi bit his lip and chuckled, "Sister, don't worry about me, you just care about this in your stomach." ”
Jiang Changwan was still uneasy, and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a tragic cat meow from the backyard.
This cat meow was so startled that Jiang Changwan's heartbeat missed a beat.
Without waiting for Song Zhi's instructions, he hurried out to check, and saw the finch quickly throwing down the broom and running towards the place where the cat's meow came from.
Song Zhiben also wanted to get up, and when he saw that Jiang Changwan's face was a little pale when he was frightened, he hurriedly brought a bowl of hot water, "Sister, take a sip and be shocked." ”
Jiang Changwan is not a weak-hearted person, and after drinking a sip of hot water, her mood is stable.
"That's the voice of Edelweiss, right? Sister, leave me alone, let's see. ”
"It's the hardest thing to do when the cat is in heat in the spring, and the original docile nature becomes extremely rude. I can't let it mess with the wild cats outside. When my sister came today, I was afraid of colliding, so I locked it in the backyard, and now I'm afraid I'm going to escape. Sister, stay in the house, but don't go out. ”
Jiang Changwan's fetus is still less than three months, if she is really panicked, she will not come to Dingbei Palace, and this trip to bring out three of the four big girls in the house, it can be said that she was very careful.
"Then you should be careful, if the cat is irritable, it is really indiscriminate." Jiang Changwan instructed.
When Song Zhi came to the backyard, Zhuyue and Qi'er were already busy working, and Song Zhi stood behind the two of them and looked at it, really dumbfounded.
There are two backyards in the main courtyard of Dingbei Palace, one large and one small, Shen Baiyan was an active character when he was a child, and a fortune teller said that Shen Baiyan's life is hot and watery.
Shen Changxing was not at ease, so he built a backyard into two. The smaller backyard is where Song Zhi and Song Ling used to boat on the lotus pond on the lake.
I heard the cat bark and already knew that it was Edelweiss who had an accident, but I didn't expect Edelweiss to climb over the wall and fall into the gap between the two walls in the backyard!
The wall between the two courtyards was very long, about twenty zhang long, and it was overgrown with weeds and moss, all of which were too tall to be a person's head!
"Why is there no one in charge of this wall? Month by month, you called me for the tea rhyme. Song Zhi frowned and asked dissatisfiedly.
Tea rhyme came in a hurry, and I understood it as soon as I saw this wall.
"Miss, this place is rarely passed, and it has been neglected to clean it in the first place, and I have already instructed people. It's just, it's just that they haven't dealt with it yet. Cha Yun knew that she hadn't done this well, so she was very unconfident when she said it.
"Cha Yun, the days I gave you are not short, if you still can't control the people under your hands, I can find someone to help you." Song Zhi's tone of words is not heavy, but the weight in it is not light.
Cha Yun hurriedly blessed her, "The slave maid immediately called someone to deal with it." ”
The efficiency after the beating is always extraordinarily high, and after a while, a few rough mothers-in-law came.
"You're just going in? Go get some taper caps. Song Zhi looked at the sharp leaves of the weeds, and if a person got into it, there would definitely be a few more red marks on his face.
"Madame, don't bother." One of the red-skinned women said, "Just cover your head with a cloak of clothing." After saying that, he got into the wall very simply.
After the person entered the wall, because the grass was too long, he took a bamboo pole and looked for the grass, and the finch stood at the other end of the wall and prepared to catch the edelweiss.
I didn't know that the edelweiss disappeared in a hurry!
The woman cried out, "Throw two sickles in, and if the grass is not cut, the cat will not find it." ”
"Miss, go back to your room. I'm looking at it. Miss Jiang is still there. "Month by month reminded a sentence.
Song Zhi nodded, "Don't hurt the edelweiss." So he went back to his room with the moon.
Cha Yun watched in place, and saw that the woman had spent a stick of incense cutting all the long grass, but she still didn't see the edelweiss.
"Yikes! There's a brick missing from a fence and there's a hole! I'm afraid the cat has gotten into the lotus pond yard next door! The woman turned and shouted to Cha Yun.
Cha Yun hurriedly sent a few little maids to the small courtyard to look for edelweiss, and he also trotted over.
The spring sun shone on his body, and Cha Yun ran a few steps, and a layer of sweat beads were densely oozing on his body.
When she saw the corpse of the cat that had been fished up with a bamboo pole, this layer of hot sweat turned into cold sweat, which made people feel terrified.
"Really, really out of breath?" Tea Yun was a little difficult to accept, after all, the edelweiss had been fluttering under her feet for so long.
The little maids were hesitant and didn't dare to step forward, only the rough woman turned over the corpse of the edelweiss and looked at it, shook it and said, "Miss Chayun, this cat is really out of breath." ”
Cha Yun barely stabilized his mind and said, "Wrap it in a clean cloth first, I'll go and explain to my wife." ”
Song Zhi was tasting a pot of osmanthus longjing saved in autumn with Jiang Changwan at this time, but Jiang Changwan could only smell it and watch Song Zhi drink happily.
"How can you drink tea like you? What a waste. Jiang Changwan couldn't drink the tea herself, so she had to say some cold words on the side, which made Song Zhi laugh.
When Cha Yun heard Song Zhi's laughter, her heart was relieved.
"Something happened to Edelweiss?" Song Zhi saw Cha Yun's look and asked hurriedly. "Where's the injury? Or run out and hang out with the wildcats? ”
"It fell into the pool and couldn't be saved when it was found." Cha Yun said tremblingly.
Song Zhi was silent, his expression cold. "Are you sure?"
"Yes." Cha Yun lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Song Zhi.
"The matter has come to this point, and although it is useless to pursue it, it cannot be punished without punishment. The cat is manic, and I have told you to take care of it, why is this happening! I don't want to hear you discern, month by month, you can find out about this matter and then come back to me! ”
Song Zhi's heart was uncomfortable, but it was not easy to show it in front of her subordinates, and as soon as Cha Yun left, her eyes instantly turned red.
