、、、、、、、、、、 Not to mention that all the people have their own thoughts, and they all go in the direction they want. At this time, the courtyard of the Hou Mansion of Chuzhou was quiet and soft, leaning on the smoked cage, squinting slightly comfortably, smiling at Mrs. Bai opposite and Pan Jing who was playing with the old cat on the side, and let the warm incense rise from under the smoked cage, staining the sleeves and sideburns.

Madame Bai carefully applied the pig's foot beauty cream to the back of her hand, leaned to her nose to smell it, and said with a smile: "It smells very good, and it feels quite moisturizing." Danniang, you are really idle. ”

Peony said: "The weather is getting colder and colder, my mother is getting older, and I remember my father and brothers in my heart. ”

Mrs. Bai lay on her back on the couch, ordered Nian Yu to apply beauty cream to her entire face, closed her eyes and said: "I really envy you for being so comfortable, do the right thing if you want to do it every day, and do the right thing if you want to do it." I wanted to clean up and have to call myself sick to hide here, I wanted to talk to you, and I was afraid that you would be busy, thanks to Nian Yu to go back to get something, just in time to Shu'er, knowing that you are empty these days, so I invited you over, otherwise I can't even find a person to talk to at the moment. ”

Peony said: "If there is something, someone should go and talk to me, how can there be so many concerns?" No matter how busy I am, I will always have the kung fu to talk to you. How long have you been living here? "This beauty cream, Li Manniang and Mrs. Dou asked Mother Lin to send it, but Mrs. Bai She hadn't seen her for a long time, so she asked Shu'er to come on this trip, and also asked Mrs. Bai if she had time to go to Fangyuan to play after a while, and the two of them met and talked. Who knew that Mrs. Bai had already brought Pan Jing to the courtyard alone to "recuperate", she had to know that she had already come.

Madame Bai's eyelashes fluttered slightly: "Soon, that is, about half a month." ”

Thinking of the strange situation of the couple at the last party in Fangyuan, Peony secretly wondered if the two were awkward again, so he said, "Then how long do you live here?" ”

Madam Bai was silent for a moment and said, "I didn't plan to do so." It depends, it's rare to be so clean, so it's better to enjoy it. Nian Yu's hand paused, with a worried look on his face, and he stopped talking, and finally lowered his eyes, and continued to wipe Madame Bai's face and neck.

Peony saw it in her eyes, knowing that there must be something wrong with the husband and wife, and it was a big problem, and when she was thinking about how to comfort Mrs. Bai, she suddenly saw a mother-in-law bring in a bowl with a big bowl of flowers and gold, and said with a smile: "This is the food that the little prince asked for before." ”

Madame Bai said, "Take it and I'll see it." ”

She fell asleep and didn't move, the woman hurriedly took a few steps forward and handed it to her, Madame Bai glanced at it, and said, "The decoction is good, but don't give him too much." As he was talking, he suddenly covered his mouth, turned over and sat up, retching for a while, grinding jade eyes and hands quickly, and hurriedly handed over the box, Madame Bai's tears came out, but she only vomited a few mouthfuls of water.

The woman was so frightened that she hurriedly took a few steps back with the bowl, and said with some trepidation: "Madame doesn't like this smell?" ”

Nian Yu said: "Put down the bowl, you go out." ”

The woman bowed and quietly withdrew. Pan Jing clamored for something to eat, but his nurse didn't dare to give him food, and only looked at Mrs. Bai inquiringly. Madame Bai rinsed her mouth and waved her hand weakly: "Take him out to eat, only half of it is allowed, not too much." ”

When the nurse went out with Pan Jing in her arms, Peony Fang said softly: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Mrs. Bai didn't care that she still had beauty cream on her hands, she gently put her hand on her lower abdomen, frowned and didn't speak, and sighed in a low voice: "Probably again." ”

Nian Yu immediately gave Peony a look, obviously having some numbers in her heart.

Peony laughed: "That's a good thing." Ah Jing has a younger brother and sister to play with him, and he is not lonely. Have you ever asked a doctor? ”

Madame Bai paused for a long time before she whispered, "No, it's just a guess." ”

Peony could see that Mrs. Bai was in a very bad mood, and this child, it seems, was not very popular. She was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Please ask a doctor to take a look, if it is, what should be raised must be raised, and the fetal gas is moving." If not, the disease should be treated early. ”

Madame Bai took the handkerchief handed by Nian Yu, slowly wiped the beauty cream on her face, and when she wiped it for the first time, she suddenly covered her face with the handkerchief, covered her face and did not move, only her shoulders trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Nian Yu looked at Peony in a panic. She has followed Madame Bai since she was a child, and it is the second time she has seen Madame Bai like this......

Peony hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Madame Bai's shoulder. She didn't speak, only gently stroked Madame Bai's back, it didn't matter, she found that Madame Bai's back was full of bones, and she was even thinner than herself.

After about half a burn of incense, Mrs. Bai's trembling gradually stopped, she still covered her face and did not move, and said angrily: "Danniang, while it is still early, you can go back quickly." I'm in a very bad mood and want to stay alone for a while, so I can't entertain you today, so please forgive me. ”

Nian Yu looked at Peony anxiously and shook her head slightly, meaning that she hoped that Peony would stay. Peony groaned slightly, patted Madame Bai's shoulder, and said softly: "Then you rest, I'll go back." In short, you think more about Ah Jing and yourself, as well as Nian Yu and them. If you have any problems, I am here to help. ”

Peony knows very well that people like Madame Bai are very proud from the inside out, always behaving perfectly in front of people, and easily refusing to show vulnerability and helplessness, even if she wants to, her education does not allow her to vent her emotions unscrupulously in front of others. She has her pride and her self-esteem, although she loves to talk to herself about intimate words, but about her and Pan Rong, she only mentioned it roughly, and did not seriously and meticulously say what was going on. Out of respect, Madame Bai was reluctant to say it, so Peony didn't deliberately inquire. Although she knew that this moment must be the most painful time for Madame Bai, she also knew that what Madame Bai needed most at the moment was not comfort, but being alone and venting her emotions unscrupulously.

Madame Bai nodded vigorously: "Well, okay." He drove the jade away again, "You send He Niang out for me." ”

"Yes." Although Nian Yu agreed in her mouth, she looked at Madame Bai motionless worriedly, and Peony gently pulled her: "Let's go." ”

Nian Yu turned around and followed Peony out of the door, beckoning the little maid to go to the teahouse next to her to call Shu'er and Kuan'er over, and asked someone to lead the horse for Peony and call Gui, Peony was busy and said: "Don't be busy, hurry back and guard the door for your wife...... If she expected, Mrs. Bai must be crying at this moment, Peony paused, and said in a low voice: "If she is not happy all the time, if it takes a long time, let Ah Jing call her...... I've been in the city for the past few days, so if you have something, let someone go and talk to me, and I'll be there soon. ”

Nian Yu hurriedly saluted the peony, ran in quickly, and arrived at the outside of Madame Bai's residence, but seeing that the doors and windows were closed, and there was silence inside, she was a little flustered, and subconsciously pushed the door gently, and the door was bolted from the inside, and it did not move. Nian Yu was scared, and wanted to shout, but remembered Peony's words, so he pressed his ear to the crack of the door and listened quietly...... There was a low, suppressed sob.

Dian Yu's tears flowed uncontrollably, and the poor lady didn't dare to cry loudly if she wanted to. She calculated the time, and planned to wait for another half an hour, and if Mrs. Bai didn't make a sound, she would follow Peony's instructions to bring Pan Jing over and call her mother. However, Madame Bai's sobbing gradually stopped, and the sound of water sounded inside, and after about half a burnt of incense, the door opened gently, and Madame Bai stood at the door and said, "Go and bring Ah Jing over." Let the kitchen make me a bowl of bird's nest porridge. Although her face was not good-looking, and her eyes were still red, her sideburns were neat.

Nian Yu breathed a big sigh of relief and responded happily.

Peony didn't care about it, but let the horse go slowly, only bowing his head and meditating on Madame Bai's affairs. Her desire to help Madame Bai was unprecedentedly strong, and to help Madame Bai, she had to understand what was going on in their past, and Jiang Changyang obviously knew. She looked at the sky, expecting that after she returned to the city, Jiang Changyang should just return, so she looked back at Gui who was following behind her: "Gui, you went to Furong Garden last time to deliver a letter, do you know that Jiang Gong has been busy with official business these days?" Not in town? ”

Last time, she asked Gui to tell Jiang Changyang about Lu Wulang's coming to find her, Jiang Changyang only verbally replied that she knew, so that she could rest assured, and there was nothing more than half a word. Later, Mrs. Du came to the door, although she didn't go out of her way to tell him, but she just knew that he knew about it, but he still didn't have anything to say, it had been several days, and she hadn't met him when she went out. Thinking of this, Peony couldn't help but pout slightly.

Gui let out an "ah", his eyes were a little evasive, he looked around, and said, "It should be there, right?" ”

Peony said: "In this way, you go to the Hibiscus Garden first, if Jiang Gong is here, you can tell him, let him come in this direction, I have something to tell him." ”

Gui scratched his ears and cheeks: "Mother, there is still some way to go in the city here, it's not good to leave you, Kuan'er, and Shu'er here." Let's talk about it later. Can? ”

Peony frowned and said, "You don't want to go?" ”

Gui smiled dryly: "Where will it be?" He tugged his neck and looked forward, and a hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes: "Mother, say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here, who do you see?" ”

Since they all said so, who else could it be? Peony raised her eyes and saw two horsemen and horses coming in the distance, although she couldn't see the faces clearly, she could see that the person was wearing a royal blue round-necked robe, which she remembered clearly, Jiang Changyang returned to the city with her for the first time, and he was wearing such a dress. Her heart beat wildly, and she happily raised her whip, whipped her horse's buttocks, and ran up to meet the comer.

Halfway through, she could see the man's face clearly, not Jiang Changyang, but the other party also saw her face full of smiles, Peony was embarrassed, reined in the horse and turned her head to glare at Gui: "Why are you lying about the military situation?" ”

Gui shrunk his neck: "Doesn't that look like?" You think so, too. ”
