These days, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the sound of cicadas outside has not stopped all day long, and the two maids have been holding the dipping pole under the tree for a morning, and the cicada chirping has gradually become smaller.

Que'er brought two bowls of ice bowls poured with sugar juice from the kitchen, and when she saw that the two of them were sweating profusely, she said, "Sisters, Madame rewarded you two ice bowls, let's use them first?" I don't have to wait for heat stroke, but I'm going to suffer again. ”

One of the maids with her buns looked at the ice bowl greedily, and the other older maid looked at her childish expression and said, "You go eat first." I'll eat it later. ”

"Let's eat together, it's hot, and the ice bowl will melt in a while." The finch persuaded.

The two maids glanced at each other, rubbed their hands on their aprons, and happily ate the ice bowl.

When they were halfway through eating, they saw Song Ling coming from a distance, and they realized that they had lost their rules in front of the guests, so they hurriedly hid the ice bowl behind them, and only after Song Ling left, did they take out the ice bowl and eat it again.

Song Ling walked into the room, and there was a cool air on his face, there was already an ice jian in the house, and Song Zhi was especially insufficient, so he asked people to move another one.

He looked at the two god-like Bingjian at the door, and said helplessly: "You are too greedy, and Jing Yu doesn't care about you?" ”

Song Zhi walked out of the inner room and said with a smile: "It is precisely because he manages a lot that he can only stay outside." Meteor, remove one, I'm here to talk to my brother. ”

Meteor answered, and went out to call two rough envoys to carry the Bingjian on the right out.

Song Ling looked around for a moment and said, "What about Jing Yu?" ”

Song Zhi sat down, straightened the hem of his skirt, and said, "It should be in the study, right?" ”

"Didn't you say you wanted to hide people's eyes? The court has taken leave, why is it so arrogant to walk around in the house? Song Ling turned over a teacup and served tea to herself.

"The maids and servants in the house are not allowed to go out, so as not to leak the news. If it is hidden too tightly, it will be broken down, and it must always be false and real, so that people can have more reverie. Song Zhi said, called Zhuyue, and asked her to go to the small kitchen to get a plate of lotus seed cake that Song Ling liked.

"You two are really a couple!" Song Ling said with emotion.

Song Ling always had a smile on her face in the past, but today her face seems to be bland, but there is a faint sense of sadness.

Song Zhi looked at his brother and said, "Do you want to call Jingyu?" ”

"No, you don't." Song Ling said simply: "Are you still afraid that he won't run here if he is free?" ”

Month by month, I brought Song Ling's favorite food, and I just heard Song Ling say: "I just went to see Shuofeng, I was worried that he would be bored when he recuperated from his injuries, and I didn't want the guys who hurt their arms and legs one by one but still played so crazy, just playing chess." There were also those who climbed trees, shot arrows, and fought with swords made of bamboo. played so crazy, called Dr. Wu a good scolding. ”

When she heard this, she showed a worried look.

"No matter how old a man is, he always looks like a child. You see, right? Song Zhi glanced at her and said.

Zhuyue blushed and thought about it, but still shook his head and said: "In that courtyard, the courtyard is full of men, and it is inconvenient for me to go." Besides, with Dr. Wu in charge, I can rest assured. ”

Song Ling remembered the bloody appearance of those guys who had just been scolded, and said, "One is afraid of Mr. Teaching, and the other is afraid of taking medicine." You can rest assured. After Dr. Wu came back, he was honest like a quail. ”

Zhuyue also laughed when she heard Song Ling's words, and stood aside to not hinder Song Zhi from speaking.

Song Ling glanced at Zhu Yue, opened his eyes Yue Yue, and showed a clear expression, he blessed Song Zhi and went out.

Song Zhi put his hand on his cheek and pretended to be relaxed and said, "What's wrong?" Is there bitter water to vomit again? ”

Song Ling wanted to laugh, but the corners of her mouth seemed to be hung by something, and she couldn't raise it.

"After Rouyi became pregnant, your sister-in-law was willing to keep me in her room." Song Ling sighed and said.

"Then why do you sigh? Isn't that a good thing? "Song Zhi doesn't understand.

Song Ling lowered her eyes, as if she was a little embarrassed to speak, and after hesitating for a moment, she said: "Since that Rouyi became pregnant, two out of three days have to come to the main house to invite me. I reprimanded her yesterday and asked your sister-in-law to move her to a nearby place, but she refused, and asked me to comfort her more. Obviously, I called the doctor to take a look, and said that her fetal appearance was very stable, so why bother saying that she was uncomfortable, please three or four times. ”

"Seems to be restless." I took a slice of lotus seed cake, took a sip and put it down. Song Ling likes to eat salty lotus seed cake, but Song Zhi couldn't stand the taste, so he turned the plate around and took the lotus seed cake mixed with honey on the other side to eat.

"That's what I said. Originally, when I was a maid, I saw a few points, and I was not happy when I chose a room, but your sister-in-law insisted on it. I saw that she herself was also a woman who wanted to be an aunt, so I agreed. Song Ling really regrets it now.

"That brother just beat her in private, let her keep to herself, don't think about what she shouldn't have, she will give what she should give, and don't think about asking for what she shouldn't."

Song Zhi thought for a moment and said, "You don't have to discuss it with your sister-in-law, she is soft-hearted, and it is time to stop you." ”

"I don't know that. But this should be the job of being the housewife, if I rob it, what should others think of your sister-in-law? When I married your sister-in-law, I knew that she was too kind and soft to suppress the person who was lower, but I didn't have the intention of taking a concubine at that time, and I didn't think there were any shortcomings in her temperament. Now it's like this......

Song Ling couldn't help but stroke his forehead, he felt dizzy when he returned to the yard now, and he had more time in the study.

"Then I'll go." Song Zhi said lightly.

"Huh?" Song Ling raised her head in surprise, "This, the others will talk about you." "How can there be a reason for this married daughter to come back and take care of her aunt in her brother's yard?

"Naturally, I don't care directly, I told my mother to go and let her come forward to beat it is always fair, right?" Song Zhi's black eyes were bright and moist, and he said to Song Ling.

Song Ling suddenly had a glow, and said, "Okay, let my mother take care of it." But he instantly languished again, and said: "But Rouyi is pregnant, and my mother is very happy, I'm afraid that my words will be much softer, I don't know if it can work, or, it also fuels arrogance?" ”

Song Zhi saw that he was annoyed and lost his appetite, and he didn't even touch the lotus seed cake, so he pushed the plate over and said, "Don't worry about this matter." Eat the pastry, sister, I'll do it. ”

Song Ling took a piece of lotus seed cake and ate it, and suddenly said, "Your husband is back." ”

Song Zhi subconsciously looked out of the door, and after a while, he saw Shen Baiyan walking in.

"Lotus seed cake?" Shen Baiyan saw it at a glance, bypassed Song Zhi and took a piece beside him, Song Zhi saw him take the salty lotus seed cake, but he didn't say anything to remind him.

Seeing Shen Baiyan eat the salty lotus seed cake, his eyelids twitched, and he swallowed it raw.

"This tastes so weird, do you like it?" Shen Baiyan put the half-eaten pastries into a small plate on the side, and gargled with Song Zhi's tea.

Song Zhi endured a smile on the side, if Shen Baiyan ate salty pastries, there must be fillings, such as ham shortbread and hemp heart gnocchi. Other pastries without fillings are not eaten at all, and according to him, they have a strange taste.

Shen Baiyan saw Song Zhi's expression and knew that she deliberately didn't remind her, but there was no way.

"This lady is your own choice, and you can't complain about others." Song Ling looked at the back and forth of the couple with envy and said.

Shen Baiyan turned his head to look at Song Zhi and smiled, and said, "You're going to be so busy these days, there is movement outside." ”

"You asked me to ghostwrite for you, and I got that injury leave note. Sure enough, he was discovered by the Twelve Princes, he asked me sideways, and sped on Brother Jiang, a few days ago, when there was a banquet in the womb, his mother pestered the Tenth Princess and asked for a long time, and then was sent away by my cousin, and there seemed to be a quarrel between the two. Song Ling said.

"He really couldn't sit still." Shen Baiyan stretched out his legs to push Bing Jian farther away, so that Song Zhi would not get too much cold.

"He's not alone, Prince You also secretly sent someone to investigate." Song Ling said.

"Prince of you?" Song Zhi tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked, "I don't pay much attention to him on weekdays, is he the youngest brother of the first emperor?" ”

"That's right," Shen Baiyan nodded, "Prince Ru just got an old son a few days ago, so counting it, Prince Ru already has six adult sons and two grandsons under his name, which is really a flourishing descendant." ”

"Prince Thou is stupid, but his fate is good. gave birth to eight sons and survived six, and even had grandchildren, unlike our first emperor, who gave birth to more than a dozen and survived a number less than the palm of his hand. Song Ling said in a low voice.

"But Prince Ru Su Ri is keeping to himself, and after all these years, he can't see any dissent. If it's pretended, it's too similar, right? As soon as Prince Ru was mentioned, Shen Baiyan recalled that he was reprimanded in public at the birthday banquet of the former king, and he was also splashed with wine.

Prince Ru was not liked by the first emperor, and only the second son, who was weak and sickly, was named the king of the county, which was clearly to make this king of the county useless.

Taking advantage of Prince Ru's health, and because Prince Ru's eldest son is not a son-in-law, the first emperor did not give Prince Ru's eldest son the title of prince before his death, so he can only wait for the current emperor to come up and give him the title one day.

"Prince Thou is submissive, but his sons are ambitious. Jing Yu, isn't the third son of his family running errands for the fifth prince? Song Ling said.

In addition to the second son, Prince Ru's third son, Shen Qianshen, is the eldest among the sons-in-law, and he is also Prince Ru's most capable son.

However, his identity is embarrassing, he is neither the king of the county nor the prince, so he has always been like a shadow and unobtrusive.

"You mean, Shen Qianshen is investigating under the guise of Prince Ru?" Song Zhi listened with relish and asked rhetorically.

"It's not impossible, the fifth prince is a reckless person, so he has to train and don't like government affairs, if Shen Qianshen is really ambitious, it's really smart to hide behind the five princes." Shen Baiyan said thoughtfully.

There were many summer showers, and as they spoke, the sky gradually became dark again.
