In the courtyard filled with the fragrance of medicine, the spring light was just right, and the windows of the main house facing the courtyard were wide open.

Fang Jingyi sat diagonally at the head of the bed, the quilt only covered the lower half of her body, and she was wearing a thin blue jacket on her upper body. Her bed was placed in a different position from other people's boudoirs, facing the wide open window, so that she could see the grass and trees in the courtyard outside.

Fang Jingyi's boudoir is very simple, a set of half-new walnut furniture, and there are no gorgeous furnishings. But the layout in the courtyard is very careful.

Flower and wood pots are placed in all corners of the courtyard, and there are plants and trees in all four seasons, so that every season will not be monotonous. In addition, some small copper bells were hung under the eaves, and the sound of the breeze was crisp.

"Qiu Shi, did you feed the fish today?" Fang Jingyi looked out the window with a smile on her face, and when she saw the maid Qiushi coming in, she asked.

Before Qiu Shi could speak, another maid, Chunhua, spoke: "Miss, didn't you ask knowingly?" This girl forgot to feed herself, and she didn't forget to water the flowers and feed the fish. Except for this meticulous temperament, there is no other advantage. ”

Qiu Shi heard the joke, but he didn't mind, and smiled at Fang Jingyi: "The slave maid has already been fed, and this fish food can't be fed more." The fish are very stupid, some of them will eat it forever, and many people will feed the fish to death in this way. ”

Fang Jingyi nodded, still looking out the window stupidly, as if she couldn't get enough of it.

Chunhua saw that the gauze tent on the bed was gently lifted by the wind, and heard the brass bell outside ringing more urgently than just now, so she reminded: "Miss, the wind is blowing, the slave maid go and close the window, right?" ”

Fang Jingyi hurriedly stopped: "No, this is not a cold day, there is a sun outside, even if the wind rises, it is still a warm wind." ”

Chunhua knew Fang Jingyi's temperament, so she no longer insisted. She also followed Fang Jingyi's gaze and looked out. This courtyard is not very large for so many years. has been confined in the yard, even if there is an extra piece of grass on the wall, she can find that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, she is tired of seeing it. I can't figure out why Miss always likes to look at it like this.

At this time, there was a maid outside, and Mama Wu came.

After a while, a well-dressed old woman came in. Qiu Shi and Chunhua retreated very consciously, and stood at the door alone.

Fang Jingyi got off the bed, and Mama Wu hurriedly stepped forward to help her.

Fang Jingyi smiled at Mama Wu: "It's not in the way." You sit down. ”

Mama Wu insisted on helping Fang Jingyi put on her shoes before getting up.

Fang Jingyi shook her head and sighed lightly: "Mama, you're fine, it's just too stubborn." Mama Wu paused when she heard this, but she pursed her lips and did not speak.

Fang Jingyi turned her head and gently rubbed her neck, she was either lying or sitting all these years, and she always felt like a quilt that had not been dried for several years, and it was moldy from the inside out.

The maids always don't understand. Why she likes to leave the windows open on cold winter days, I don't understand why she is always fascinated by the scenery in the small courtyard. In fact, if she could, she would like to see more flowers and green leaves elsewhere.

Mama Wu followed Fang Jingyi's gaze and looked out the window, with some pity in her eyes: "You've suffered Miss all these years." is obviously healthy, but in order to save his life, he has to pretend to be sick all day long, just so as not to hinder the eyes of some people. Fortunately, Miss is smart, and you have escaped the man's calculations safely several times, if it were someone else, I am afraid that the grave would grow grass. ”

Fang Jingyi looked at Mama Wu with a brick and said with a smile: "Sometimes I also wonder when this kind of day will be a head." When my great-grandmother was alive, she had already helped me think about it, so she chose the Li family for me. I was thinking about it. When I'm old and married, I'll be fine. But ......"

Fang Jingyi smiled bitterly and shook her head.

"They deceive people too much!" Mama Wu's eyes were red.

Fang Jingyi comforted softly: "Mama Wu is indignant for Jingyi, and Jingyi knows it." Back then, you were the one with my great-grandmother, who took care of my father, and then you always took care of me. After Mrs. Tai left. Jingyi has always been taken care of by you, and Mama doesn't have to be sad about Jingyi. Although I also hated the injustice of fate, I never gave up. Later...... It's going to be fine. ”

Mama Wu nodded and said, "What Miss said is that it will be fine, it will be fine." In the future, when the uncle comes back, you will have to reunite with his father and daughter. When the time comes, Mrs. Tai will be happy when she sees it in the spirit of heaven. ”

Fang Jingyi smiled, her father, she had no impression for a long time, presumably when her father was there, he was not very close to her daughter. But the people around me said that it was a waste that didn't know anything but eat, drink and have fun. Although this is the case, it is always her father, and she never forgets to help him pray for safety when he burns incense and worships Buddha during the New Year's holidays.

It's just that she has relied on herself to survive until now all these years, and she has actually lost her expectations for the reunion of father and daughter. Naturally, she wouldn't talk about these things with Mama Wu, in Mama Wu's eyes, her father was good at everything, at most he was just naughty.

"Mama, what's the matter with that portrait out there?" This is also the purpose of Fang Jingyi to call Mama Wu over. She has always paid attention to the movements outside, and although Mrs. Tai is no longer there, she has left her with many people who can be used. In fact, it is not unreasonable for Fang Jingyan to hate her. At least in the case of the late Mrs. Tai, they were treated differently.

Mama Wu was silent when she heard this, and pursed her lips silently.

Fang Jingyan sighed again: "I didn't mean to blame you, it's just that this kind of method is too cruel for an unmarried woman." Li Yuan's painting was indeed revealed by her, and even Li Yuan's handwriting was asked by her to find someone to imitate, but the poem on the final portrait was not the one she gave to Mama Wu.

Mama Wu raised her head and said, "Miss, you are just too kind-hearted." There will be today's result, obviously they are self-inflicted. When did we not fight back because we were forced to have no way out? All you've asked for is a place to stay, and after all these years, what has been the result? She had that dirty idea, and she wanted to ruin you. If you tolerate it again, have you ever thought about the consequences? Fortunately, every time you can count her first, you don't have their way, but the tiger is still napping, who knows what will happen when you don't calculate her? And the slave doesn't think that the second lady is innocent, if she wasn't jealous of you, deliberately went to get to know Li Gongzi, and let Li Gongzi secretly have feelings for her, how can we plan it? ”

Fang Jingyi didn't speak, is she kind? She's just a hypocrite, isn't she? Otherwise, how could she add fuel to the fire after she inquired about the current situation of the Li family and Li Yuan's personality, and knew that Fang Jingyan had secretly gone to see Li Yuan? Fang Jingyan and Li Yuan have come to this point, is she really not responsible?

She obviously did bad things, but she comforted herself that Fang Jingyan and Li Yuanlang had a concubine, but she just fulfilled a pair of lovers.

Even if Mama Wu didn't privately replace that poem with a glamorous word, would she still have a good reputation after this matter spread? She has never been soft-hearted, she just insists on distinguishing grievances.

Seeing that Fang Jingyan didn't speak, Mama Wu continued: "Besides, the slave doesn't think that the second miss is innocent, you have come to this point, she is the culprit!" All these years, if it weren't for her, when did you get sick? ”

When Mrs. Tai was alive, she loved Fang Jingyi, the eldest granddaughter who had a hard life, so although she had no parents to take care of her, Fang Jingyi's life in the house was not sad. But as soon as Mrs. Tai died, the situation changed greatly.

Nominally, she is the eldest daughter of Earl Fang and Madam Fang, and Madam Fang is an extremely good-looking person, whether in the mansion or outside, she and her biological daughter Fang Jingyan try her best to maintain a bowl of water on the surface, even if she is not happy in her heart.

When I go out to socialize, I always take her and Fang Jingyan with me. Over time, contradictions come out.

Fang Jingyan was originally very jealous of Fang Jingyi, and after Mrs. Tai died, she thought that she could finally step on Fang Jingyi and become the eldest lady of the earl's blessing. But it didn't always go in the direction she wanted.

Outside, everyone only knows Fang Jingyi, the talented, intelligent and generous Miss Fang. Even if Fang Jingyan's appearance is not bad, but on the occasion of Fang Jingyi's presence, she can only be an inconspicuous supporting role. When people mention her, they rarely call her name, only saying that she is Fang Jingyi's sister.

How could such a gap make Fang Jingyan not hate in her heart? At this time, in the Earl's Palace, from the old lady to the lady, the people who felt sorry for the lady were their own granddaughters and daughters, and Fang Jingyi was just a parasitic in their eyes.

Finally, once the day before going to an old lady's birthday banquet, Fang Jingyi fell ill. She had been sick to her stomach since she woke up in the morning, until her body collapsed, and she couldn't walk, and this illness lasted for three days, and the rice and water were difficult to enter, and she almost died.

On that day, she naturally had no way to follow Mrs. Fang out to attend the birthday banquet.

Later, she learned that two days before she fell ill, Fang Jingyan went to the old lady to cry all night.

Because this old lady who is going to hold a birthday banquet is an old friend of the late Mrs. Tai, and she especially likes to find a talented little girl to let her come out to show her face for everyone, Fang Jingyi is the junior who is most often handpicked by her, she used to play the piano in this old lady and win Su Chengzhi, calligraphy won Wang Zhen, and she was out of the limelight.
