、、、、、、、、、、 The fierce afternoon sun dried the branches of the willow trees, and even the cicadas in the trees cried weakly, and it took a long time for them to cry a second time, "I know ......." However, the water pavilion by the blue wave pool in the Houfu of Chuzhou is cool and breezy, clean and elegant.

The doors around the water pavilion have been unloaded, so that the clear breath of the pool water and the fragrance of the white lotus flower in the pool can drift into the pavilion with the wind, Mrs. Bai held a book and half crooked on the rattan bed, read the book for a while and glanced at the side of Pan Jing, who was accompanied by the nurse, rolling around on the mat, having a lot of fun. Seeing that Er's chubby little feet were wrinkled with the green onion sandwich and white flat silk back mat, he quietly reached out to smooth the mat, and lovingly pulled down the hem of Er's red silk pants to help him cover his little chubby legs.

Seeing this, the nurse stood up nervously and said with a smile: "Madame......"

Mrs. Bai straightened out her blue danluo shirt and waved her hand gently: "Don't do anything, children love to play, you just need to be careful at night." As soon as the words fell, Pan Jing turned over and sat up, grabbed her sleeve, and wanted to snatch the book in her hand.

Madame Bai lovingly picked him up and put him in her arms, and said with a smile: "Does Ah Jing also want to study?" Come, A-Niang will teach you. ”

Nian Yu came in with a delicate porcelain box in his hand, and said with a smile: "Xiaogong likes to read at a young age, and he is talented and intelligent, and he will definitely be a person in the future." ”

Madame Bai glared at her with slight disgust and said, "Don't say these words to him." Jade can't be cut, no matter how smart you are, you have to teach it carefully, and you have to be careful. Seeing the porcelain box in Nian Yu's hand, his face suddenly sank: "What is it?" ”

Nian Yu smiled silently, and only handed the cover over. There was a piece of incense cake the size of a copper coin in the box, and it was neatly stacked, and Mrs. Bai leaned over to smell it, and her expression was a little dazed. Nian Yu smiled: "What does Madam think of this incense?" ”

Madame Bai put away her trance-like look, didn't turn her head to touch Pan Jing's head, and said lightly: "But Er'er." ”

Nian Yu deliberately pursed her lips aggrievedly: "If the person who sent the incense knew that she had carefully stored it for forty-nine days before it was made, he would have received such a comment from Madame, and he didn't know how to be sad." She also said that this incense is tranquil and pure, and Mrs. will love it if she wants to. The slave went to return it, and said that our lady didn't look down on it at all. After saying that, he really turned around to leave.

Tranquil and pure? This is not like what Pan Rong can say when she is a flower year. Mrs. Bai hurriedly called for Nian Yu, and said with a heavy face: "Dead girl, you dare to take Qiao with me." Tell me who sent it, and I'll spare you for the crime of being disrespectful!" ”

Nian Yu covered her mouth and chuckled, handed over the porcelain box with both hands, and said, "It was sent by He Niang to the maid named Yuhe beside her." Said that it was the last time I said goodbye to my wife, so I personally made this deep incense in the cellar, and after the cellar expired, I felt good after trying the incense, so I dared to send it to my wife to enjoy. ”

"It's been so many days since the Dragon Boat Festival......" Madame Bai was slightly stunned, "She has a heart, take a piece and try it first, what about people?" ”

Nian Yu neatly took a silver gilt incense burner from the bedside, took a piece of incense cake and burned it, and replied, "Still waiting outside, do you want to see her?" ”

Madame Bai said: "I naturally want to see it, and I always want to return the gift, right?" She sniffed lightly and thought to herself, saying that it was tranquil and pure, but in fact it smelled a little lonely, which was really very much in line with her heart. Danniang of the He family, no matter how strong she is, is actually as lonely as her in her heart, right?

Yuhe followed behind Nian Yu generously, walked into the water pavilion without squinting, and greeted Mrs. Bai neatly: "Madame is healthy, my master greets Madame." ”

Mrs. Bai glanced at Yuhe, but saw that she was wearing a light cyan silk skirt with a moon-white dress, a pair of round and big eyes, a smile at the corner of her mouth, and a pear vortex looming on her side, looking pleasing and clean, she smiled and said: "Sit down, I haven't seen your master for a long time, is she okay?" ”

The little maid who was waiting on the side handed over the brocade, the rain and lotus thanked her, sat down carefully with a diagonal sign, smelled the familiar fragrance from the incense burner at the end of her nose, and her heart was relieved, and her smile became brighter and brighter: "My master is very good." She has always been very concerned about Mrs. in her heart, but it is inconvenient to visit, so she can only make this deep quiet incense by herself, and she hopes that Mrs. will dislike it. ”

Madame Bai understood the reason for the inconvenience of visiting, so she smiled slightly: "She has a heart, I like this fragrance very much." Shicai heard the jade say, a total of forty-nine days of cellaring, presumably you know the Fang? ”

Before Yuhe came, he got the instructions of the peony, and he also knew that these ministers were particular about the incense at home, and they would ask the Ming party to confirm that they would not use it until they were not, and Mrs. Bai used it first, which already showed enough trust in the peony. Hurriedly cheered up and replied: "Yes, this is the first incense that my mother made after returning home." While she was making incense, the slave and maid were always waiting. Five taels of white honey are used to refine the gelatinization with water, steam and cook for half a day over slow fire, and wash it with warm water for later use. Hainan agarwood two taels cut into fingertip size, and the shin charcoal four taels together with the pestle pounded into powder, with a horsetail sieve fine. Then mix it with boiled honey, cellar it for 49 days, take it out and add Polu anointing money, musk for a penny, benzoin for a penny, and make a fragrant cake into this incense. ”

Madame Bai pursed her lips and smiled, "The recipe is not complicated, but the fragrance is outstanding." I heard about the last Dragon Boat Festival night, and because I knew that she was fine, I didn't go out of my way to visit her. What has she been up to lately? ”

Yuhe knew that as Mrs. Bai, she had her own difficulties, so she bought a house on the side of the Yellow Canal and built a garden to plant peonies. I really hope that it will be built soon, and I can go and join in the fun. ”

Yuhe endured it several times, and finally according to Peony's instructions, he didn't say anything about the difficulty of the manager of Ningwangfu Grange, but said: "It's still early, it will be about next spring, and I heard Master Fuyuan say that if you want to see all kinds of beautiful scenery, even if you take care of it, I'm afraid it will take two years to get your wish." ”

The two gossiped again, Pan Jing on the side dozed off, Yuhe hurriedly got up to say goodbye, and Mrs. Bai didn't stay long, only asked Nian Yu to take out two tubes of ivory carved and dyed green, and said with a smile: "Your house is full of good fragrance, I won't get an axe." Only these two tubes of nail decoction lipstick are made by myself when I have nothing to do, the lip moisturizing effect is good, the color is also delicate, I can't buy it outside, she is young, it is time to dress up, bring two tubes to her to try. ”

Yuhe got up and saluted and thanked him, and was sent out by the jade again. The two walked to the second gate, and when Nian Yu saw that there was no one left and right, he took Yuhe's hand and said affectionately: "After my sister goes back, remember to tell your mother that if you have time to travel, you might as well come and make an appointment with our wife, she is always locked up in this house all day long, and she is so bored." If the garden is built, the first one to tell our lady will be. As a personal maid who has served Madame Bai for many years, she is very sensitive to Madame Bai's liking for peonies, and naturally hopes that Madame Bai can go out to relax with more people who can talk to her.

Yuhe smiled: "Sister, don't worry, I'll tell my mother when I go back." She admired her very much, but she didn't want to visit her in person. ”

Nian Yu nodded and said: "Your mother's difficulties are known to Mrs. Madame, and we have heard those rumors, and I also suggested that Madame let me go to see your mother at that time." But our wife said, your mother is high-winded, I don't think I will take such a trivial matter to heart, it is better not to go. However, the last time I played polo, I heard that she was sick, and I was a little worried, but two days later, I heard that I saw her riding a horse on the street, so I guessed that it was nothing serious. ”

When Yuhe heard this, he secretly thought that Mrs. Bai was really a cold-faced and hot-hearted person, and she had been paying attention to the affairs of Peony, and she was immediately grateful and gave birth to a sense of bosom friend for Peony, and said proudly: "Madam is really smart, one guess is accurate." At that time, when those words came out, everyone in the family was very sad, but my mother didn't take it seriously, she ate when she should eat, and slept when she should sleep. On the second day, when she went out to do errands as usual, she greeted those with bad intentions, and she replied with a smile, more broad-minded than a man. You don't know, these days we always ride horses to the village, although it is hard, but it is not boring at all. ”

Nian Yu listened with joy and envy: "Really? It's so nice. Madame has not been running horses for a long time, and I beg her to take us to your farm another day. "Even if I go with Mrs. Bai to participate in all kinds of banquets in the big family on weekdays, but after all, it is for the sake of communication, and there are all kinds of annoying people, and I am always uncomfortable, let alone happy, where is it easy to go to the suburbs to have a comfortable time?

Yuhe smiled excitedly: "Definitely! There is a peach and plum forest behind our room, and now some plums are ripe, sweet and crisp, and the peaches are fast, which is really fun. ”

The two walked to the corner gate and were about to say goodbye, when they suddenly saw Liu Chang and Pan Rong walking in in front and back in the side door, waving a fragrant breeze. Liu Chang saw the smiling Yuhe at a glance, his eyelids twitched, and he didn't move when he stood still.

Yuhe saw Liu Chang out of the corner of his eye, and was startled, secretly calling that he was really unlucky, and he stepped on when he went out. He Nian Yu made a look, turned around and was about to leave, before he took a step, he heard Liu Chang say coldly: "Stop!" ”

Yuhe only listened to the wind, and walked forward more and more briskly, if it wasn't for the fact that it wasn't obvious, he would almost be running. Nian Yu secretly complained to herself, stepped forward to block Liu Chang's gaze, and saluted with a smile: "The slave maid has seen the master and Feng Yilang. ”

Pan Rong glanced at Liu Chang with a smile and asked Nian Yu, "Who is that?" How can you look at the face of life, not like the people in our house? There's no rule at all, didn't you hear Feng Yilang call her? How do you feel like you've seen a ghost? Is it that scary? ”

His words sounded like he was scolding Nian Yu and Yuhe, but he was actually mocking Liu Chang. Liu Chang didn't seem to hear it at all, stepped out and blocked the door, sneered at Yuhe and said, "What a slave who is used to pretending to be deaf and dumb!" Is there something unseemly done to run away like this? ”

Yuhe saw that he couldn't get out, so he had to make a hasty salute to him: "The slave maid has seen Liu Fengyilang." Can you really laugh, this Houfu is not a casual place, where can slaves and maids do unseemly things? ”

Liu Chang saw that Yuhe was like avoiding snakes and scorpions, with sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and thought of the pitiful and flattering way she used to be in front of him, an indescribable taste hit his heart, and he pursed his lips and did not speak. He didn't speak, Yuhe dared to bypass him and continue to walk out, he saw Yuhe's actions, like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, and immediately exploded, and shouted: "What a bold minion!" Did I let you go? ”

Nian Yu on the side thought that this was an errand handed over by his wife, and he had to send people out safely no matter what, knowing that he couldn't tear up with Liu Chang here, so it was better to go back and move the rescuers quickly. I didn't know how to turn around, and I was stopped by Pan Rong: "Take any little thing to trouble Mrs., you are really ignorant!" ”

Nian Yu blushed, and did not deliberately please Pan Rong to conceal it, biting her lip and saying: "She was ordered to send incense to Madame, and Madame instructed the slave maid to send her out of the door." "This is a guest of the Hou Mansion, not the Liu family, now she only hopes that Pan Rong can look at Mrs. Bai's face and not let Liu Chang make trouble in the Hou Mansion, otherwise it will be Mrs. Bai's face that will be lost.

Sure enough, although Pan Rong was still hanging, she still replied: "I know, she will definitely be able to walk out of this door alive." If you don't worry, just watch from the sidelines, and when Mrs. asks later, you can also make a mistake. ”

The temper of his own master is known to his family, as long as Pan Rong said that he would not let Yuhe have an accident, he would definitely not, and when Nian Yu got this promise, he also breathed a sigh of relief, handed Yuhe a young and restless look, and watched quietly.

But said that Yuhe saw that Liu Chang was bent on taking his temper on himself, Pan Rong had a lively face, and stood up straight and said calmly to Liu Chang: "The slave is the slave of the He family, and today I came to the Houfu to deliver something, and now the matter has been completed, and the head of the family is still waiting for the slave to reply." What is the reason for Liu Fengyilang to stop the slaves and maids from leaving? "It's not what it used to be, he has that endless stinky temper and still keeps it for him to go home and send it to those who like to bear it, and less to her.

Liu Chang was speechless for a while, can he say that he just feels unpleasant when he sees people related to peonies? When you see the rain lotus, you habitually want to have a seizure? Obviously he said that he was sick last time, and he was still waiting for the He family to beg him again, but he was in a hurry and didn't see anyone going, and was about to ask someone to investigate, but he saw people walking on the street vigorously, smiling brighter than anyone else. Only then did he realize that Peony was pretending to be at that time! She didn't have to ask him again! They all threw him away when they used him, and he trembled with hatred at the thought of it.

Yuhe, a dead girl, dared to pretend to be pitiful and fight against him in the past, but now she is becoming more and more lawless, and there is no one in her eyes, even if she is no longer a slave of the Liu family now, he is an official anyway! Shouldn't you be respectful to him? Indeed, there is a master, and there must be a servant! can ask him to find a random reason to whip Yuhe a few times, and let Yuhe howl with snot and tears at the door of the waiting house, but he can't do it.

Pan Rong seemed to be able to see what he was thinking, stepped forward and stood between him and Yuhe, and yelled at Yuhe: "You dog minion! What is who's who's who? Since everyone knows that he is called Feng Yilang, he should understand that he is an official! Shouldn't you say hello? Shouldn't you be respectful? It's like seeing a ghost! Dare to speak so boldly and rudely! It's just begging! I can't even watch it, and it's uncomfortable if I don't teach you a lesson! ”

Yuhe was not afraid of Pan Rong at all, only stared at Liu Chang, seeing his expression flickering, he was also afraid that he would suddenly go crazy. Just thinking about it, he suddenly saw Pan Rong looking at him on the side, and hurriedly said: "The slave maid is rude, and I also asked Lord Liu Fengyilang to spare a lot of slaves and maids." If you have no other command, the slave and maid will leave. He deliberately walked past Pan Rong and took advantage of his posture to slip away.

This time, Liu Chang didn't stop the rain lotus, and watched her quickly go out of the corner gate like a ghost chasing her, and disappeared in an instant, and suddenly lost the mind to go in and talk to Pan Rong for tea again. Ran said tastelessly: "I'm going home." ”

Pan Rong thought that he would chase after Yuhe, so she grabbed him and said, "It's all here, why bother?" Since you were on an errand, we have rarely met together, and it is easy to encounter this opportunity, and we must not be disappointed by that kind of person. ”

Liu Chang glanced at him, saw his innocent and courteous look, and said lightly: "Don't worry, I'm not so boring." ”

Pan Rong blinked and made an inexplicable expression: "Huh? What did you say? ”

Seeing that he was pretending to be confused, Liu Chang sighed softly: "I'm just, I can't be angry." ”

Pan Rong sneered: "Is that all there is to it?" It's just a woman with a better skin and a fierce temper, or you don't want her first, as for it? Go, go! After saying that, he waved his sleeves and left. Seeing Liu Chang go out, he turned around and looked at Nian Yu with a hippie smile: "Where is Madame?" I was all for her just now, she wouldn't give me a cold face, would she? ”

Seeing Pan Rong's appearance, Nian Yu secretly sighed for Mrs. Bai, made a few grievances, and gave a salute, not mentioning it earlier.

Liu Chang returned home, and just changed his clothes, and the slender man was dressed up in a fancy way, holding a bowl of mung bean ice bowl with a fragrant fragrance to offer his courtesy: "Grandpa, the weather is hot, you use this first." So saying, he rubbed it into his bosom, took a silver spoon, and scooped a spoonful into his mouth.

Liu Chang pushed her away impatiently and said coldly, "What happened to Madame's body?" ”

Slender was overshadowed, took back the silver spoon, and looked at Liu Chang with infinite resentment and grievance: "The slave maid has the heart to serve the lady, but with the humble status of the slave maid, where can I enter the main courtyard to serve?" It's Sister Biwu, who was originally serving by Mrs. Niang's side, but I heard that Sister Yutong was uncomfortable, so she had to take care of one or two. ”

Liu Chang automatically skipped what she didn't have, hid the words of the twelve hearts, and asked bluntly: "Who is serving beside Madame?" ”

"It's Sister Yu'er." Seeing that Liu Chang ignored his stubble, he was very disappointed. She originally thought that when the bride entered the door, and the other party was the county lord, if she wanted to go further, it would be impossible in a short time, or she would have to win Liu Chang's pity as soon as possible and solve it before the county lord entered the door. But there is no hope for this, but there is also exciting good news, that is, Liu Chang heard that the pregnant Yutong was uncomfortable, and he didn't react! It's so good, if you're pregnant, you're not petted, and if you're not pregnant, you can't afford to turn over the storm!

Seeing Liu Chang get up and walk out, she hurriedly chased out: "Grandpa, what do you want to eat at night?" The slave maid just had a dish...... "Before she finished speaking, Liu Chang had already walked away without looking back, and she was so sad that she bit a good handkerchief.

Liu Chang walked outside Mrs. Qi's room, and the slave hurriedly opened the curtain and reported inside: "Madam, grandpa is here." ”

There was a crisp sound, the sound of broken porcelain came from the room, and Mrs. Qi's piercing roar immediately sounded: "Tell him to get out!" What did he come to do? Did you come to see if I was by him? Get lost! Immediately after that, Yu'er's low voice of comfort followed.

Nian Nu'er glanced at Liu Chang worriedly, since the county lord of Qinghua fell off the horse, Mrs. Qi was very happy for a while, the offerings to the Bodhisattva were much more exquisite than in the past, so I wished that the county lord of Qinghua would hurry up and cross his feet, which Cheng thought, only to wake up, before he was sure whether it was paralyzed, Liu Chang said that kind of thing in front of the clan! Immediately after that, the will to give marriage was made, and Mrs. Qi was so angry that she fainted! After that, the man lay down, adding to the problem of chest pain, and his temper became more and more irritable. was so frightened that the old man's family didn't dare to go back, and he often stayed overnight in the yamen, which became more and more irritated that Mrs. Qi's illness became more serious.

Liu Chang frowned, slammed the curtain hard, and stood at the door and said loudly: "What are you going to do now?" It's okay if others don't understand me, and you will force me too! Well, you don't want to see me, do you? I'm leaving! "At that time, the county lord of Qinghua was injured unclear, and in front of those many clans, he calculated him, and forced him to ask if he disliked her and didn't want her, did he dare to say no? Unless he doesn't want to mix around anymore.

When Mrs. Qi heard him say this, she felt a little unbearable, but she couldn't pull him down and call him back, so she spat Yu'er on the head: "Death!" Don't you know how to persuade it quickly? ”

Yu'er endured the humiliation and saluted, turned her back before she dared to wipe the spit on her face, quickly caught up with Liu Chang, and begged bitterly: "Grandpa, Madame is sick, she has always remembered you in her heart...... She's sick because she feels sorry for you......"

Liu Chang stood in place and sighed, and said impatiently: "Madame is in a bad mood, seeing that my condition must be worse, let's wait until she is in a better mood!" ”

Before the words fell, I saw Mama Zhu, who was getting fatter and fatter, rushing over: "It's terrible, Miss Yutong has a miscarriage." ”

Mrs. Qi heard it inside, and scolded angrily: "How could you suddenly have a miscarriage?" Yu'er's face turned pale with fright, and she retreated again and again, just wishing to quickly avoid these rights and wrongs.

Liu Chang was discharged from the hospital, but he was stopped by the maid who was waiting beside Yutong with a crying face, begging him to go and see Yutong, saying that Yutong didn't want to live anymore, Liu Chang only felt a heavy hammer smashed in his head one by one, almost cracking his head.
