Chu Nian frowned without a trace, and strode in, and suddenly a damp and moldy smell came to the surface, a wooden bed in the corner of the wall, and in the shabby bedding on the bed, a thin and yellow-skinned person was sleeping soundly, and it was vaguely visible that it was a woman, and her good-looking brows were wrinkled, as if she was having a terrible dream.

Seeing this, Chu Nian put her mind at ease, this is the person she is looking for, fortunately, in the past two years, no one has died, and now it seems that there is only one breath left to hang her life.

"Who are you?"

Suddenly, a crisp young man's voice sounded from behind him, and the master and servant suddenly turned their eyes, only to see a boy about a teenager staring at them with a pair of big eyes like copper bells, his skin was dark, and he could vaguely distinguish a little delicate, and his clenched fists revealed his hostility.

Mother Zhu stood in front of Chu Nian, her eyebrows raised, "This is the third lady of the Hou Mansion of Zhenning, you must not be rude." ”

"Those powerful people in Beijing again? Get out of my house! You people don't have a good thing! ”

Seeing that this young man was so rude, Mother Zhu was about to attack, but she was gently patted by Chu Nian behind her, and saw her show a warm smile and said, "Are you the little Langjun of the Wu family in the south of the city?" ”

But he didn't want to hear this, when the young man looked at Chu Nian, the resentment in his eyes gushed out, "What! Hurt my Wu family like this, do you still refuse to let go of our sister and brother? ”

At this time, a faint voice came from behind Chu Nian, "Brother, don't be rude." ”

The young man suddenly approached the couch in a panic, and lowered his voice and said, "Sister, is it that I am too loud to make you noisy." ”

At this moment, the weak woman had already stood up softly, the young man hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, she shook her head, "It's okay," and then she turned to Chu Nian and Zhu's mother who were standing in the room, a trace of doubt flashed between her eyebrows, but she also lowered her eyes, and said politely: "I have seen Chu Sanniang, my brother is young and ignorant, and I hope to bear with me." ”

Chu Nian nodded with a smile, "It's okay, it's just that there is still something important to find the Wu family's lady today, and I should apologize for disturbing the purity of the two of them." ”

Wu Yuanniang looked sideways slightly, the young man turned around and walked out of the room, and glared at Chu Nian sullenly before leaving, Chu Nian smiled.

"I don't know what instructions the third lady has for finding the little girl today?" The people on the couch leaned weakly against the wall of the collapsed edge, their eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, if it weren't for the thin face and yellow muscles, they were more beautiful than the ladies of the official eunuchs in Beijing.

The hostility of the sister and brother towards the people in Beijing is really deep, Chu Nian sat down on the trembling wooden chair on the side with a smile, and then smiled lightly: "I don't know if Wu Yuanniang has thought about returning to Beijing?" ”

Wu Yuanniang's face changed, but after a while, she soothed her expression again, took the tea handed by her brother, and took a sip.

After taking a sip of warm tea, she breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes looked at Chu Nian fixedly, and the light in her eyes flickered, "If the third lady is willing to help me return to Beijing, I will take the third lady as the first step." ”

Two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and Kyoto is calm.

At the end of winter, a few snowflakes gradually drifted away. Thinking that the ancestral hall is too cold, Xiao Chen's family is still the nominal head of the house, and she once gave birth to a little Langjun to the Chu family, and the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, not to mention that this huge hat is still buckled on his son's head. In the end, the old lady still released her from the ancestral hall, but she avoided it.

Since the ancestral hall came out, Xiao Chen's family has also settled down a lot, and the power of the family is still in the hands of the Liu family, and she is not seen fighting, so she should be dormant and waiting for the opportunity.

At the end of winter, the temperature is gradually warming, not too cool, the vanilla house is busy before and after, and there are a lot of charcoal soup women, it is the Liu family who is afraid that Chu Nian, who is recovering from a serious illness, will catch a cold, and even send a lot of people to come over, for a while, the vanilla house that has been deserted for several years is finally lively.

"Three ladies, drink some ginger tea and warm up."

Chu Nian was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring blankly at the few pieces of snow falling outside the window, and was interrupted by Mei Xiang, who was pacing in with ginger tea.

She smiled, reached out to take the ginger tea, took a sip, and immediately felt warm all over her body.

"Are the sisters and brothers still used to living in the side room?"

Mei Xiang lowered her eyes and responded, "Wu Yuanniang's slave maid said goodbye to the third lady, and now her body has recovered and she can act." ”

Chu Nian responded lightly, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he waved his hand and said, "You go down first, I'll stay alone for a while." ”

When Mei Xiang exited the door, Chu Nian frowned, turned his eyes to look at the beam, and said quietly: "Do you know what the crime of trespassing in the boudoir is?" ”

On the beams of the room, a figure suddenly fell, bringing up a cloud of dust in the room, the man was wearing a black brocade robe, with a pitch-black mask on his face, revealing only a pair of eyes that were a little shining.

He looked at Chu Nian carefully, but subtly withdrew his gaze, "Chu Sanniang, it's time to do it." ”

Chu Nian frowned, the person in front of him seemed to have some skills, and it seemed that Prince Mingxiu was not honestly dormant.

"I know, please rest assured, Your Highness."

There was a bit of banter in the man's eyes, "It's good that Sanniang knows, don't disappoint Your Highness." ”

With a few words, the figure disappeared into the snowy night in a few flashes, and between the movements, there was no snowflakes flying.

Chu Nian's gaze stared at the darkness not far away, it seemed that she was going to reconsider the positioning of Prince Mingxiu.

……

Every year in late winter and early spring, in order to celebrate the arrival of the warm sun, Kyoto will hold a lantern festival, this lantern festival will be lively, when the palace will open the palace doors so that the imperial family can enter and exit, most of the royal heirs will take this opportunity to go out of the palace to have fun, after all, there are many prohibitions in the palace, and there is only one day of the year for them to indulge.

Several children of the Chu family were also prepared early, and even Chu Xiaolangjun was released, led by Chu Yuanniang and Chu Erniang, but these three didn't like Chu Yuanlang and Chu Nian later, so Chu Yuanlang could only go with Chu Nian.

Out of Chu's house, Chu Yuanlang took care of Chu Nian everywhere, for fear of being hit by someone for half a minute, but Chu Nian felt that he was a little more delicate, but in the end, there was a crowd of people at the Lantern Festival, and after a while, Chu Nian was still separated from him.

In her previous life, when she was still Su Nian, she also walked around in Beijing, and every grass and tree in this capital made her extremely familiar, and she walked around in a daze, but she unconsciously came to the westernmost alley in Kyoto, and there was a small door in the alley, she clearly remembered that when she was very young, her brother often sneaked out of that place in order to buy her a string of sugar gourds, and was found by her father, and reprimanded for a while.

My father never beat and scolded my siblings, unless they made a big mistake or went away to worry their mother, and my father would grab them and reprimand them.

Chu Nian walked a little west, and the plaque with the two big characters "Su Fu" was hanging on the door obliquely, and the grass at the door was overgrown, but there was something hidden in the barren grass.

Chu Nian got closer and saw that there were all kinds of melons, fruits and pastries at the door of this Su Mansion, a brand-new incense burner, and above the incense burner were three pillars of incense that had not yet been burned.

There are also people who read the good ...... of the Su family His eyes were sour, Chu Nian took a few steps back, bent down respectfully, and said silently in his heart: "Father, mother, brother, the child will definitely avenge my Su family!" ”

At this time, there was a sudden sound behind him, Chu Nian put away the thousands of attachments in his eyes, and when he turned his eyes, a figure was standing behind a tree not far away.

"Chu San Niang?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Chu Nian suddenly narrowed her eyes, she couldn't forget this voice no matter what, but, how could he be here! Could it be that he felt guilty because he hurt the Su family? Scold! The Su family has long been destroyed, who will he play this play for!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Chu Nian smiled gently, "General Liu still knows the little girl, which is really a blessing for the little girl." ”

Liu Qi walked out from behind the tree, his eyes flickering and looking at Chu Nian.

"The third lady is remembering the Su family? If you listen to the contemptible advice, it's better not to have a relationship with the Su family. His eyes suddenly sank, with a bit of inquiry, wanting to see a trace of something wrong through Chu Nian's perfect smiling face, "Otherwise, I'm afraid it will be the entire Zhenning Hou Mansion." ”

Chu Nian's face remained unchanged, "The Su family Yuanlang once saved the life of the little girl, no matter whether the Su family did such a big rebellious thing, now the Su family has also been destroyed, the little girl just remembered the past kindness to worship, Si thought, did not do anything wrong, but General Liu, clearly identified the Su family's guilt, why bother to worship again?" ”

Sure enough, Liu Qi's face froze, his eyes swept over the cigarettes that were rising in the wind and snow, and his gaze became a little dazed.

After a while, he smiled stiffly: "Like the third lady, the contemptible person has been taught by Master Su, but the teacher really shouldn't have done such a rebellious thing in the first place, even if the contemptible person wants to save the life of the Su family, he is powerless." ”

Liu Qi lowered his head regretfully, not looking at Chu Nian's deep pool-like eyes.

Doesn't it mean that the third lady of the Chu family is a fool who recognizes a thief as a mother? But those eyes clearly carry thousands of bottomless whirlpools, and I am afraid that if I stop for a while, I will make people indulge in them.

Chu Nian smiled indifferently, "General Liu's mourning, the little girl and her brother are separated, you should go back early, otherwise your brother should be in a hurry." ”

Hearing that she was leaving, Liu Qi suddenly raised his head, "Sanniang's brother, but Chu Yuanlang, who recently returned to Beijing?" ”

"Exactly." Chu Nian looked at Liu Qi a little strangely, she already knew about Chu Yuanlang making friends recently, could it be that Chu Yuanlang had already crossed paths with Liu Qi and others? It seems that Chu Yuanlang does have some ability.

Liu Qi smiled awkwardly, but seemed to have nothing to say: "That contemptible person gave Sanniang a ride, Kyoto was mixed with fish and dragons during the Lantern Festival, so don't have any danger." ”

When the two of them returned to the downtown area, they happened to meet Chu Yuanlang who came in a hurry with a few small servants, and when he saw Chu Nian, he immediately stepped forward, frowned and said, "Third sister, didn't we say that we can't walk around?" ”

Before Chu Nian could speak, he saw Liu Qihan and said with a smile: "I have long heard that Chu Yuanlang Yushu is in the wind, and today it has opened the eyes of the contemptible people, and the contemptible people and Sanniang have had a relationship, and now that they meet, they will pull Sanniang to chat a few more words, so that Brother Chu is worried, it is not contemptible." ”
