Early the next morning, Sanniang got up half a cup of tea earlier than the time when Sun's usually got up, and immediately went to Sun's room when she heard a sound in Sun's room next door, waited in front of Sun's couch, and personally served her to wash.

When Sun saw Sanniang, he looked at her carefully, and deliberately stared at her eyes when Sanniang handed her a towel to wash her face.

Seeing that Sun didn't accept the towel she handed over, Sanniang only looked at her with a pair of sharp eyes, pretending to be a little uneasy and a little aggrieved and smiled at Sun: "Grandmother? What's wrong with Sanniang? Those clear eyes are not evasive.

Sun was relieved and withdrew his gaze.

"The veil is too hot, wait for the heat to dissipate."

If Sanniang is blindly afraid and scared under her eyes, then she must have heard what they said last night, if she didn't react at all, then she was pretending to be okay and wanted to cover it up.

But looking at Sanniang's expression just now, she was just worried that she had inadvertently angered herself, so she really didn't hear what she said last night. Otherwise, a child, hearing such words, where can he be so calm, thinking only about how to please his grandmother?

Sanniang seemed to see that her grandmother was not angry with herself, so she breathed a sigh of relief and answered with a smile.

Mama Chang watched from the sidelines, a little worried, but seeing Sanniang like this, she was finally relieved. Could it be that the third lady really slept heavily last night and didn't hear it? But if you can still do this when you hear it, then this third lady is really ......

"Did you sleep soundly last night?" Sun took the handkerchief and asked casually.

Sanniang seemed to be very happy to see that her grandmother cared about her, and nodded: "My granddaughter had a problem with the bed, thinking that she would not be able to sleep if she changed the bed, and she didn't want to drink a bowl of soothing tea and fell asleep as soon as she lay down." ”

Sun nodded: "Your maid also drank tea?" ”

Sanniang had just sent Bai Ying out. Changed to Bai Zhi to follow her, and when she saw Sun looking at Bai Zhi on the side, she only lowered her head and carefully scooped green salt from a small blue and white porcelain jar with a small spoon. Pretending not to see Sun's eyes and not knowing that she recognized the wrong person, she only buried her head and smiled: "Because two bowls of tea were prepared, my granddaughter is afraid that it will be wasted." I forced her to drink it too. "As he spoke, he secretly stuck out his tongue, very naughty." But I forgot that she was a sleeper on weekdays, and I woke up first this morning, and she woke up after calling her a few times, and I didn't dare to let her drink that tea again. ”

Sun didn't see anything on Bai Zhi's face, so he really believed Sanniang's words and didn't ask again.

Chang Mama glanced at Sanniang and understood that the third lady had listened to all the words in the room last night. The soothing tea was just what she tried to hide from the old lady last night. Excuses to find. Bai Ying did bring a bowl of tea to the third lady, but it was a bowl of wolfberry Mingmu tea.

remembered that it was the series of designs of the third lady that pulled Mama Li, who was calling for wind and rain in this backyard in the past, off the horse, and Mama Chang was relieved.

Sun kept Sanniang and had breakfast together in Songling Courtyard, and then sent the little girl to greet each courtyard, so as to avoid today's morning and dusk, and only let a few granddaughters still come to this courtyard to continue to write 'Baoyi'.

After finishing breakfast, Sun hurriedly went out with Mama Chang and went to Qingming Temple.

On July 15th, the festival is also known as the Bon Festival, and each temple will set up a Bon festival at the entrance of the temple and the street entrance in the city, with wine, meat, sugar cakes, and fruits. Even the whole pig, whole sheep and other sacrifices are prepared by each family every year. Sun's visit to Qingming Temple today is to send tribute to the temple for the Midyear Festival, but today will only be July 10th, and there are still a few days before the Obon Festival, and the perishable meat will naturally have to wait until the day of the Obon Festival. Today I just sent some melon and fruit sugar cakes and silver coins to pay homage.

It's just that Sanniang knows that it is not so simple for the Sun family to go to Qingming Temple, because in previous years, the Sun family only sent the housekeeper to go on this trip, and never went there in person.

It rained heavily for two days, but this morning the sky suddenly cleared, and there was no haze in the sky. It's just that the water on the lower ground, and the rain-stained petals in the muddy field around the flowers, make people feel out of place with the sudden sunny weather.

Sanniang wrote words with Yuan Niang and Siniang for a morning, and in the afternoon she wanted to go to Fangzhi Courtyard to see Wu Niang, she naturally knew that Wu Niang was very likely not really sick, and she didn't really want to see people, but it just meant that. Some things are just done in response to the situation, but it is a mistake not to do them.

When I walked to a small flower dock on the edge of the garden, I saw Yuan Niang standing at the door of the flower dock with a short mother-in-law talking.

"Let you bother again, I wanted to pick some of my own drying, I don't want the lotus pond in the house to bloom only a few scattered flowers this year, grandmother wants to keep it for the occasion, and I don't have a chance to go out of the house with the lotus flowers outside."

The woman didn't speak, but looked at Yuan Niang very lovingly with a pair of cloudy eyes.

When Yuan Niang said this, she looked up and saw Sanniang coming over.

"Big sister." Sanniang smiled and gave Yuan Niang a salute first.

"Third sister." Yuan Niang returned the salute and said, "Where is the third sister?" ”

"The fifth sister said she was sick, I'll go take a look at her." Sanniang smiled and groaned, casually glancing at the short mother-in-law beside Yuan Niang who was saluting her.

The woman was a little old, the folds on her face were very deep, her complexion was a little dark and gray, and her hands were full of calluses, as if she had worked a lot. She has seen this woman, she is the one who takes care of the flowers and plants in this garden, and she is only busy in this flower dock on weekdays and rarely goes out to see people, and I heard that she is a mute.

"This is Mama Flowers, who takes care of the flowers and plants in the garden. I asked her to help me pick some lotus stamens, but I didn't want her to help me dry them. Yuan Niang saw Sanniang looking at the mother-in-law, so she smiled and handed the indigo coarse cloth bag in her hand to Sanniang.

Sanniang smiled and picked up one from the bag, and saw that it had been carefully washed and dried, and when she came to her nose, she smelled the unique fragrance of lotus stamens, which was very good.

"If the third sister likes it, I'll give you some." Yuan Niang saw Sanniang's comfortable expression, shook her head and smiled.

"I still have time to go to my big sister to disturb a cup of lotus tea, give me and I have to go back and toss it myself, or don't bother with it." Sanniang put the lotus back into the coarse cloth bag, blinked and smiled.

Yuan Niang was amused: "Where do you need to do it yourself?" It's not something you commanded in a word, if you feel sorry for your maid, you will say it directly. ”

Sanniang didn't refute, just looked at Yuan Niang and smiled.

"Since the third sister is going to see the fifth sister, I will go with you." Yuan Niang handed the coarse cloth bag in her hand to the little maid behind her, and stepped forward to take Sanniang's hand.

"Mama Hua, go get busy, by the way, I'll ask the girl to send you some ointment for rheumatism later, I heard that it is very effective." Yuan Niang turned her head and said softly to the woman.

The woman bowed to Yuan Niang again, and stood aside with her head bowed.

Sanniang turned her head and looked at the woman a few more times.

"Third sister, don't blame you, Mama Hua can't speak." Yuan Niang was afraid that Sanniang would blame, so she hurriedly explained.

Sanniang nodded, not impressed. At this time, a slight fluttering sound of wings came, and a turtledove flew over and landed on Mama Hua's right shoulder, Mama Hua raised her hand to catch up, and the turtledove flew away, but after a while, it flew back, this time stopping on Mama Hua's left shoulder.

"This bird is so bold that it is not afraid of people." Bai Guo said.

"Because my grandfather loved birds, no one dared to touch the birds in our house, even the sparrows that have always been very ordinary." Yuan Niang said with a smile.

The flower mama who saw a few people couldn't get rid of the turtledove no matter how much she waved her hand, and she couldn't help laughing.

Sanniang also smiled, but her eyes carefully looked at the turtle dove, and her eyes were fixed on the bird's feet, and her eyes flashed, but her face did not show any strangeness.

After that, Sanniang and Yuanniang went to Fangzhi Courtyard to visit Wuniang, as Sanniang expected, they were stopped again, but this time it was Aunt Cui who came to stop her.

Looking at Aunt Cui, who was saluting herself and Yuan Niang like a weak willow in front of her, Sanniang smiled and returned half a salute to Yuan Niang.

"Thank you, the eldest lady and the third lady for coming to visit Miss Five, Miss Five just drank the medicine and fell asleep." Speaking of this, Aunt Cui was a little embarrassed on her face: "Why don't you go in and take a look, if the fifth lady is still awake......

"Auntie doesn't have to bother her, my eldest sister and I just don't worry about the fifth sister, so we stopped by to take a look. Since we are asleep, how can we ask patients to accommodate our reasoning, but it is against our original intention. Sanniang smiled.

Aunt Cui smiled embarrassedly: "The eldest lady and the third lady come in and drink a cup of tea made by the concubine before leaving, where is the reason not to enter the door, but it makes people blame the concubine for not knowing the etiquette and being lazy." ”

"Auntie, don't be polite, my third sister and I should wait for the fifth sister to get better before bothering you."

Aunt Cui kept a few more words, Yuan Niang and Sanniang insisted on leaving, and Aunt Cui personally sent Yuan Niang and Wu Niang out of Fangzhi Courtyard.

Coming out of Fangzhi Courtyard, Yuan Niang returned to the West Courtyard, and Sanniang returned to Hefeng Courtyard.

When passing by the flower dock again, Sanniang glanced inside, only to see a short rickety figure squatting on the weeds.

"Miss?" Bai Ying's also looked towards Sanniang's gaze and shouted tentatively.

Sanniang smiled and said: "I'm thinking that the lotus stamen tea last time is very suitable for me, if the lotus stamen is gone in the future, I can ask Mama Hua to help make some." ”

Bai Ying said happily: "It's good that Miss likes it, but there are still some Lianrui slaves and maids, even if they run out, they don't have to entrust others, and the slaves and maids let people carry letters and ask the slave's mother to help pick some of them." ”

Sanniang nodded, then stopped looking at the flower dock and went straight to the Hefeng Courtyard. ()
