、、、、、、、、、、 motioned for Xue Niang to sit down: "What don't you know?" Why do you think I hate you? "If you want her to tell the truth, Xue Niang's behavior tonight is really unpleasant, but I can't say how annoying it is, because she feels excusable.

Xue Niang suddenly suppressed her crying and peeked at the peony, the peony's smile under the light was very soft, with a quiet gentleness. It's the same as when she first saw Peony, but it's annoying. She couldn't help but sigh softly, and whispered, "Anyway, I'm just annoying you." If it were me, I'd hate people like me. Rude, stupid, stupid, blind, only caring about himself, and most importantly, not being righteous. ”

No matter how stupid she is, she also knows something from Jiang Changyang's performance, and the relationship between Jiang Changyang and Peony is probably not as simple as a simple life-saving grace. At the very least, his attitude towards Peony is definitely not like that of himself. Come to think of it, the peony itself is beautiful, and it is more capable and gentle than itself, so people are naturally more willing to like the peony. Maybe Peony is also liking Jiang Changyang, otherwise Yuhe wouldn't have secretly glared at himself with disgust, these things he did today may have made Peony disgusted with himself, and he would never have anything to do with him again.

Peony heard Xue Niang say that she was not righteous, and knew that Xue Niang probably misunderstood something. I wanted to explain it, but I felt that the explanation was not clear, and I couldn't explain it, so I lowered my head and thought about it, and said: "You are indeed a little unrighteous and unreasonable today. ”

Xue Niang thought that Peony would comfort herself as she did in the past, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened her mouth, she confirmed that she was not righteous and unreasonable, and she couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded.

Peony Zhengse said: "I'm glad that you don't care about the court and treat me as a friend, but you need to know that since you are friends, you must love each other, understand each other, and take care of each other." Friends are people who rely on, are considerate, and like-minded, but they are not punching bags, they are not happy to hold and applaud, and when they are unhappy, they can bully people who are angry at will. ”

Xue Niang only felt that the roots of her ears were hot, so she stood up straight, and she didn't dare to look at the peony, she lowered her head and looked at the floor and whispered: "Sister He, I ......"

Peony continued: "You have lost your temper with me several times tonight, and apologized to me several times. Because I regard you as a friend and cherish the affection between you and me, I can understand that you are young, in a bad mood, and will not take it to heart; But if you are a bystander, you will not have this kind of mood to understand you, but I am afraid that you will not speculate for more than half a sentence, and you will stay away. True temperament is a good thing, but you also have to pay attention to proportion, in the long run, no matter how good your friends are, they will also be divided. "She is not Xue Niang's eldest sister, nor is she Xue Niang's parents, she can only talk about this, how much Xue Niang is willing to listen to, but it is not something she can control.

Xue Niang opened her mouth slightly, raised her head to look at Peony, and said after a while: "Sister He, I was wrong, I shouldn't lose my temper with you." I beg your pardon. ”

Peony stretched out her hand and pulled her to sit beside her, and said with a smile: "Tonight is just a trivial matter, I'm not angry with you." Besides, when those cheeky stinky men squeezed in, didn't you just care about helping me? ”

Xue Niang blushed embarrassedly, endured and endured, and said very quietly: "I should have been." I'm annoying tonight, isn't it? ”

Peony knew that she was asking Jiang Changyang, so she said truthfully: "Although people get along with each other, you can't judge a person's temperament based on just one or two things, but preconceived, everyone will always judge a person by the impression left by the first meeting." If you have a bad first impression and want to turn it around later, it often takes a lot of effort, but it is only half the effort. But knowing the horsepower, seeing people's hearts over time, what kind of person you are, what kind of person you are, in the end, you can always let people know. ”

No, he wouldn't even say a word to her, so what if he knew? Don't like it or don't like it. In his mind, he may be the kind of villain who wants to rob everything regardless of the righteousness of his friends, but she won't be that kind of person. Xue Niang's face turned a little pale, and she stared at the candle flame for a long time, and then struggled to squeeze out a smile: "Sister He, you will still treat me as a friend in the future, right?" I will never do the same thing again. ”

Peony hugged Xue Niang's shoulder and said with a smile: "It's not easy to make a friend, I naturally still treat you as a friend." Xue Niang may have listened to what she said, but she won't understand it very clearly, it will be very thorough, but one day, Xue Niang will always be able to understand.

Xue Niang blinked and said with tears in her eyes: "Sister He, I'm so hungry and tired." ”

Peony saw that although she was still crying, it was obviously not like before, so she raised her voice and asked Yuhe to send supper. Fu's mother came in and saw that the two were reconciled again, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.

Peony slept until noon on the second day, and when it was time for lunch, she realized that Xue Niang had not gotten up, and Fu's mother had told her not to disturb her. I thought that Xue Niang would probably be sad and couldn't sleep after going back, or crying and swollen eyes, and I was embarrassed to see everyone, so I didn't care about Xue Niang, I just told Ah Tao that if Xue Niang was together, she would be busy sending food over.

After Peony had lunch, she changed into a half-old gray coarse silk with narrow sleeves and a short skirt with six short skirts, and went to check the seeds soaked yesterday, but she felt that the seed coat had softened and the seeds had absorbed enough water, so she ordered someone to prepare plant ash to mix the seeds and prepare for sowing.

was busy, Fu's mother came. Peony hurriedly stopped what she was doing and beckoned her: "Mom, please take a seat." He also asked Yuhe to bring tea and soup up.

Fu's mother didn't sit down, she saluted Peony straight, didn't wait for Peony to help, got up again, and said with a smile: "The old slave thanked He Niang for teaching Xue Niang for my wife, and didn't let her make jokes." ”

Yuhe didn't know what Fu's mother meant, and it sounded like accusing Peony of being overstepping, so she immediately made a color to Ah Tao, and motioned for Ah Tao to serve tea, and she stood aside and watched.

Peony thought that it was probably Xue Niang who told Fu's mother about her friend, so she smiled and said: "Let my mother laugh, I don't dare to teach, and I can't say it, it's just some confidant words between sisters." I'm a few years older, but I'm older, and if there's anything inappropriate, I'll ask my mother to distinguish between me and Xue Niang. ”

Seeing that she was not impatient, not arrogant or arrogant, and spoke politely and modestly, Fu's mother liked it even more, and said with a smile: "Xue Niang is innocent and spoiled, but she is not a person who does not know how to be good or unreasonable." She said hello, you must be fine. After coming here, she wanted to know something. After speaking, he took two sips of the tea soup handed by Ah Tao, and left. Peony took the seeds mixed with grass and wood ash and sowed them without mentioning it.

After each kind of seed, the peony will be prepared in advance to write the name of the small wooden sign inserted, after watering the soil thoroughly, and then covered with thatch, and then only wait for ten days to plant and take root, the seedlings will be unearthed in February of the next year.

After the peony cleaned up the nursery, it was already full of colorful clouds, Yuhe had already prepared water and waited on the side, saw her coming, quickly watered her and washed her hands, and took the fragrant bath beans for her to wipe on, and carefully washed the nails, and persuaded: "Danniang, although you like it, but don't do everything yourself, where do you do all this heavy work?" ”

Peony smiled: "I didn't do anything, just inserted a few small planks and covered some thatch." Digging the ground and sprinkling water are all outsiders. ”

Yuhe said: "If you don't worry about others, you will point to the slave and maid in the future." ”

Peony knew that Yuhe felt sorry for himself, so he smiled and said: "Don't you think that you can hide and be idle, when the white dew comes, I want to graft the peony, and it is a heavy job, I don't know how many days I have to be busy, I can't be idle every day, I have to ask you to be busy with you, don't hum and get tired with me when the time comes." ”

Speaking of this, Peony couldn't help but feel a little more worried. The germination and flowering of these peony species is a matter of a few years, and if you want to make a name for yourself next spring, you will mainly rely on grafted peony flowers. The role of a skilled gardener, then, is relatively important, but unfortunately those who have this skill either have their own garden nurseries, or have already been set at a high price. Those who are idle, but because they don't know the roots of the other party, she doesn't dare to invite them at all. Only the gardener surnamed Zheng when he was in Liu's house in the past can still be used, but unfortunately the person is still in Liu's house, so it is not easy to dig it out.

Yuhe frowned when she saw Peony, and said busily: "What is Danniang anxious about?" Tell the slave to listen to it, and let the slave and maid think about it together. ”

Peony said: "I'm thinking about the gardener. I can't stay in this flower garden every day, I have to ask someone who can be trusted and used. But I can't visit this suitable one these days, and I feel a little anxious, thinking of the Zheng florist, but I feel a pity. ”

Yuhe blinked and said with a smile: "This is simple, and Zheng Huajiang has never sold himself to the Liu family." He is mainly good at serving peony flowers, at that time, for your sake, the Liu family has many peony flowers, and he will naturally have a better life. Now that the Liu family's peonies are decreasing, and the master's family is now afraid that it will be uncomfortable to see peonies, he will not be much better off in his future. Leave this matter to the slave and maid, as long as there are flowers and money, he will definitely come. ”

Peony thought about it, but felt that it was inappropriate: "The Liu family is a person who occupies the pit and does not pull it, if they know that we want to use people, I am afraid that we will raise them for nothing and refuse to let them go." Maybe we think that we are deliberately going against his family, and we have caused some trouble. I can't rush this matter, so I'll make another visit later. ”

Yuhe was amused by her description: "Danniang, you are right!" Isn't their family a pit of sex? You can rest assured, the slave and maid will not mess around, naturally they will ask clearly before they speak, so as not to cause trouble for you. ”

The master and servant went back hand in hand, and Xue Niang greeted her and said, "Sister He, I just went to see the bathroom you asked people to build, it's very good, I'll build one when I go home, you teach me!" ”

Peony saw that her eyes were slightly swollen, and her smile was still a little gloomy, but she was still in good spirits, so she smiled and said: "My bathroom is actually a picture made by Master Fuyuan, and I will ask him what he means another day, if he agrees, you can take it and build it according to it." ”

The bathroom designed by the monk Fuyuan is just a brick wall to divide the room into two rooms, the front room is closed, a large iron pot with water is placed, and a stove is built behind to burn the fire. Dig a well near the wall to assuming that the wheel lifts water, and then dig holes in the wall to divert water, and dig a ditch behind the house to drain water. Not only is it summer, but winter is very comfortable. Of course, the first process is naturally not comparable to modern times, but for Peony, who knows nothing about infrastructure engineering and chemical refining, it is already overjoyed. She is still very satisfied, and she says that Xue Niang will yearn for it in her heart.

When Xue Niang heard that she had to ask the meaning of the Fuyuan monk, she couldn't help but feel a little frustrated: "If he refuses, what should he do?" It's all for you anyway, who do you love to give it to or not to whom? As long as we don't tell, he won't know. ”

Peony said: "That's different, this is the least respect." I asked him to help design the garden, and he didn't confiscate my money, but just collected some melons, fruits, spices and tea. If you give his picture to others behind his back, and refuse to say anything, and hold a heart of deception, it will not be good. ”

Xue Niang hung her head wiltedly, and said slightly reluctantly: "Okay, then you must say more good things for me in front of him." ”

Peony smiled: "That's nature." ”

Xue Niang blinked: "After eating, are we going to sing?" Without waiting for Peony to speak, she added: "Of course, it's when you're not tired." As she spoke, she glanced at Fu's mother, and when she got a praising smile from Fu's mother, she couldn't help but feel a little more joyful.

Peony said: "I'll let Aunt Feng accompany you to play, I have a lot of things to do." In a few days, I will order someone to pull peonies from the city, and many flowers and trees will be transplanted after autumn, so I must sort out all the things that should be prepared in advance and arrange the things. The soil should be loosened, and what should be fertilized must be fertilized, otherwise there will be chaos. ”

Xue Niang was very disappointed, but she still obediently responded. When the sun set, the two separated and did not mention their respective actions.

Xue Niang's interest today is not as high as yesterday, standing under the tree and listening to it once, after watching it once, I feel that it is not interesting, and I want to go back. Suddenly, Wu swayed over with a plain yarn lantern in his hand, saluted her, and said with a smile: "Hello Huang Niang, why are you alone today?" Didn't He Niang come? My father-in-law asked her for help. ”

Xue Niang's heart beat uncontrollably, and she glanced back, but saw Jiang Changyang wearing a brown round-necked narrow-sleeved robe standing in the shade of a tree not far away, and frequently looked at the ridge in the distance, clearly waiting for someone. couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "My sister He has something in the village, and she is very busy, let me play alone." If you have something to look for her, you can go to the village to find her. ”

Wu thanked him, turned around and went back to talk to Jiang Changyang in a low voice. Xue Niang stood under the tree for a while, took the maid's hand, and decisively joined the crowd of singing. After jumping around, she looked back, but saw that Jiang Changyang and Wu's shadows were no longer visible under the tree, and when she looked left and right, she saw two figures, one tall and one short, gradually disappearing into the rice field, and it was the direction of Fangyuan.

Xue Niang exhaled softly and hid the tears that were about to flow with a big smile. Fu's mother is right, even if her family background is matched, even if Peony may not really have a relationship with him, it depends on whether others like her or not.

If you don't like it, no matter how much you do, it's all for nothing - since that Pegasus hit the money, she has been to Jiang Changyang several times, and Jiang Changyang has never looked at her. She inquired about him everywhere, and finally met him, he only said a few words to her in front of Peony, he didn't have her in his eyes, why should she? Peony is a good person, but she is so pitiful, if she can achieve this good deed, she should also be happy for Peony.

Thinking of this, Xue Niang stomped her feet vigorously, put all her strength on her hands, feet and waist, and couldn't wait to jump until dawn, and then get tired, sleep until dawn, and then think about nothing.

Fu's mother watched from the sidelines, and was about to step forward to persuade Xue Niang, but Aunt Feng took her hand and said with a smile: "Let her play, who hasn't been young?" Anyway, their bodies are not as good as me, and they will be fine in two days after a good night's sleep. ”

Fu's mother was silent for a moment and smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

Peony led Yuhe and A Tao to stand next to the newly piled rockery, talking to the foremen, asking about the construction period, and learning that all the projects could be completed at the end of the year, and planting trees and flowers in a few days would not affect the construction, so I couldn't help but be very happy. He encouraged those foremen again, asked Yuhe to take the money out to reward, and ordered him to go down and let him go to the village to buy a fat pig to slaughter, and add vegetables to everyone on the second day.

Everyone was rejoicing, Yuhe gently pulled Peony's sleeve and said in a low voice: "Danniang, who do you see over there?" ”

Peony looked back, but saw Li Xun standing under the willow tree, looking at him with a smile. She looked at the sky and couldn't help frowning. This village is where she and Xue Niang live in two daughters, Li Xun came at this point, and she can't go back to the city, and it is inconvenient for her to keep him to live here, how can this be properly placed?

Li Xun had already walked over and said, "Danniang, I went out to do errands, but I didn't see anyone, I knew that you lived in the village, so I came to see you." He looked at Yuhe again and said: "Yuhe, I rushed to it, I was thirsty, how about you go to fry a cup of tea and soup for me to drink?" ”

I don't know what he's doing at this time? What can you do when you see someone? Yuhe only stood still on the side, pretending not to understand Li Xun's intention to retreat by himself, and only called Ah Tao: "Go to sencha, remember to use a good cup." Let's ask your father again, why did my cousin come, and I didn't know how to say hello, so my cousin waited like this for a long time! ”

Ah Tao was so aggrieved that she died. This is not on the other side of the house, but in the garden, but a wall has been built, and the gate has not yet been installed, and there are always many people coming in and out all day long, and the sky is not yet dark, and there are no dogs, but they are free to come and go, who knows who is who? Who can you control? But he was afraid of the rain lotus, so he responded aggrievedly, and went to sencha without mentioning it.

Seeing that Yuhe was not in a good state, Peony coughed hurriedly and signaled Yuhe to restrain himself: "Yuhe will go and clean up the stone tables and stools over there, and we will talk over there." He smiled and asked Li Xun if he had eaten.

Li Xun saw that Peony had no intention of sending away the rain lotus, and made it clear that he didn't want to talk to him, gritted his teeth, looked at Peony and smiled pitifully: "I've been running around all day, and I haven't eaten a little food, can I let the kitchen make a bowl of hot dumplings to eat?" ”

Peony saw that his face was red and he looked quite tired, and he couldn't bear it, so he asked Yuhe to go to the kitchen to prepare food. Yuhe pouted and kept his face calm, and Li Xun shouted again: "Do more, and Cangshan and Luoshan will follow." ”

Peony said: "Where are the two of them?" Let them come and drink some water, too. ”

Li Jing said: "I'm brushing horses." It's never too late to call them when you're ready. ”

Peony asked him, "Cousin, is this another errand for King Ning?" Later, I'm afraid that I'm going to go to King Ning's village to rest? Did you ask someone to say hello first? ”

Li Xun said "um", stopped talking, and only stared at the peony.

Peony was sweating in his vest when he saw it, so he just pretended not to know, and forced a smile and talked nonsense with him. Li Xun didn't speak, just tilted his head and listened quietly.

A slap didn't make a sound, and Peony's voice gradually lowered, and she couldn't find anything to say. The two were relatively speechless, and they were embarrassed, but fortunately, Ah Tao came up with tea, and only then did one of them hold a pot of tea and eat it, so that they would not have nothing to do at all.

Shao leaning, Yuhe came back quickly, and said with a smile: "Danniang, Jiang Gong came to return the lantern, saying that he was looking for you to help with something, and asked if you have time?" As she spoke, she glared at Li Xun, she inquired from Luoshan just now, Li Xun was about to marry Wu Jiuniang, since she had already set a lifelong event, what else did she come here for?

"Where are the others?" Peony heard that Jiang Changyang had something to ask for his help, so he quickly got up and greeted Li Xun: "Cousin, you sit down first, and I'll come when I go." ”

Li Jingcai seemed to wake up suddenly from his contemplation, and said, "Is it that Jiang Changyang Jiang Dalang?" ”

Peony said: "Yes." ”

Li Xun said: "I came to look for him today." I went to his village and waited for a long time to see him, but who knew that he came to you. It's better to invite him in and talk to him. ”

Yuhe thought that he was about to marry someone else, but he still came to find Peony, and he couldn't help but look at him unpleasantly, and said with a little ostentation: "Last night, Danniang accompanied the little lady of the Huang family to go to the song, met Jiang Gong, and sang together." Then he sent us back, and because the moon went down, he lent him a lantern. ”

Li Jing thought thoughtfully: "Danniang can also sing?" I haven't seen it yet. ”

Peony hummed softly.

While speaking, Jiang Changyang brought Wu in, and when he saw Li Xun, he was a little surprised, and then smiled and hugged his fists: "Gong Li, don't come unharmed." ”

Li Xun looked at Jiang Changyang critically, and saw him standing there, his smile was calm and bright, and he couldn't see any bad intentions, so he collected his thoughts, returned the salute, and said with a smile: "Little brother, I just came from Brother Jiang's village, I thought I couldn't find anyone, how do I know that it takes no effort to step on the iron shoes and find nowhere to get it." ”

Jiang Changyang raised his eyebrows: "You have something to look for me?" ”

Li Xun looked at him and said seriously: "Yes, and there is something important." Brother Jiang, can you sit down and listen to the younger brother's conversation? ”

Jiang Changyang looked at Peony with some hesitation, Peony knew that they must have something to say, Jiang Changyang was afraid that he would be troublesome, so he hurriedly said: "You just have to talk, there will be no outsiders to disturb here." While talking, he invited Jiang Changyang to take a seat, asked Ah Tao to serve tea, and took Yuhe to arrange meals and drinks without mentioning.
