The cherry blossom viewing feast ended in a hurry in the midst of everyone's discussion. There were two more gossips in Beijing, Lin Wenjing had a hard attack in Zhou's room, and hurried to appease Aunt Su who fainted when she heard the news, and Zhou was so angry that she broke a silk agate plate.

Zhou twisted his handkerchief and looked fierce: "Have you found out what's going on?" ”

Mama Tao stepped forward and said, "The second young master said that it was because of Chunxing's girl...... Pregnant, the two wanted to dispose of it quietly, but they were discovered, and he waited there with a treaty. ”

Zhou couldn't help but say hatefully: "The things that are not enough to succeed and more than to fail, I have raised him for so many years, and now I am embarrassed and lost all over Kyoto." ”

Mama Tao said: "Madame Mo is angry, it's just a little romantic affair, there is nothing in this capital, and people forget it after talking about it for two days." Besides, the second young master is not good, doesn't it seem that our son is precious. ”

Zhou shook his head: "My original intention was to only let him be able to chant the wind and make the moon, who knew that he was so bold, he really deserved to be the son of the Duke of Guo." The Anguo Mansion is now full of flowers, cooking oil on fire, and it is even more cautious. If he only covers this matter in the house, it will be enough, and it will be known all over the city! Do you know who left the note? ”

Mama Tao said: "The second young master insisted that he was left by Qiu Xi, and wanted to threaten him with this matter in order to get on the throne." There are few literate maids in the house, and if it is said that it was written in Qiuxi, it is reasonable. ”

Zhou snorted: "He can afford to look down on himself, Qiu Xi is a high-eyed and calm person, what can he afford Qiu Xi?" In the autumn evening, the prince who is close to the water does not make any effort, and it takes some effort to catch him as a concubine. ”

Mama Tao laughed and flattered: "Isn't it exactly, that Qiuxi is in the courtyard of the prince, and never looks at the prince much." What kind of character is our son, with him in front of him, how could Qiu Xi find his way to get close to the second young master. ”

Zhou said: "Duty, not necessarily, she may not be innocent in this matter." She thought she was smart, and even Mama Zhou was fooled by her, but she didn't want to be seen by Jade. If it weren't for Jade, I'd have told her to hide it. She took a sip of tea and calmed down: "If you want to talk about duty, Jade is a good one, smart and clever, and never makes her own opinions." It's just that I'm older, and I don't have that mind. ”

Mama Tao said: "What should I do with Qiuxi?" ”

Zhou thought for a while: "Qiuxi is still a little useful, and my grandfather also explained that he wanted to keep her, but it was not easy to deal with it." Since so many people saw it, they rewarded her to the second young master. Even without this matter, with the eyes of her heart and mind that she usually plays, I can't keep her by the side of the son. ”

Mama Tao responded, and said: "Yan Cao only said that she was instructed by Qiu Xi to lead people over there, and she didn't know anything else. ”

Zhou squinted slightly, and the sharp edge in his eyes appeared: "I used to think she was a good one, but now it seems that I can't keep it, just deal with it according to the rules, sell it farther, don't let Aunt Su know, and blame me if there is anything to blame." She was a mother, so she found a Zhuangzi sent to her brother from the beginning, and then found a better cook for the old lady. ”

Mama Tao nodded: "In this way, the courtyard can be much quieter." ”

Zhou sneered: "Quiet? Not necessarily. The prince blindly thinks about the beggar, when I can't see it, with her, I can't be quiet at any time. I have to hurry up and settle the family affairs for him, and only when he gets along with the dignified and dignified ladies can he really understand my hard work. ”

Mama Tao disagreed, how many straight men like to be dignified and dignified, they all like those who scratch their heads and make gestures to be knowledgeable and interesting, or say that wives are not as good as concubines, concubines are not as good as stealing, stealing is better than stealing. But he only dared to hold his stomach when he said this, and he didn't dare to show half a point on his face: "Madame has an idea?" ”

Zhou raised his eyebrows and said: "I tested the meaning of my grandfather and the old lady the day before yesterday, and I think Yun Qing is good. When I saw it today, there was no better young lady than her, and in the past two days, I thought about going to Maoyan'er Hutong and talking to my sister-in-law. ”

Mama Tao poured tea with a smile: "There will be a happy event in our house soon." ”

Jade, who had received great praise from the Zhou family, was sitting in the room at the moment.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Self-returning mountain people."

"Aren't you a child?"

"The real jade died of smallpox at the age of five."

"You entered the house at the age of five? For what? ”

"Can't tell."

"Who are you talking about?"

"Can't tell."

"Are you going to take me away?"

"It's not time yet."

"When are you leaving?"

"Three months later."

The two of them asked and answered, and they spoke very quickly, but the difference was that they sat up straight, staring at Jade tightly, not letting go of the slightest expression on her face. Jade, on the other hand, sat carelessly, without any manners, which was very different from the big girl who was high up on weekdays.

Cersei sighed, relaxed herself and stopped looking at her, leaning against the window: "But I want to go now." ”

Jade gave her an unexpected look: "Why?" ”

He didn't answer, and his eyes fell on the "Exotic Chronicles" on the side of the kang. Jade also fell silent, and the only sound left in the room was the sound of lights bursting.

Jade sat bored, and heard Cersei say again: "I remember that you said before that I shouldn't be here, you must know who I am." ”

Jade thought for a moment and said, "These words shouldn't be said by me. She walked up to Cersei and whispered to the window, "Yuan Nineteen." ”

The window sash opened silently, and a figure turned onto the kang neatly, and without waiting for Cersei to see it clearly, he knelt on the ground: "Subordinate Yuan Nineteen, see Lord Langhuan." ”

Startled, he wanted to stand up, but he tripped over his skirt and staggered and sat down: "What do you call me?" ”

Yuan Shijiu raised his head, revealing an angular face: "County Lord, my subordinate is the secret guard of the East Palace, and I was sent by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to protect you." ”

Cersei was stunned by this series of changes, and looked at Jade at a loss: "Then you ......"

Jade shook her head: "I'm not all the way with him, I've never been involved in political affairs, and I don't know why Gongzi sent me to protect you." She has been in the house for thirteen years, and in the first year, she secretly observed Jade's every move, and then worked hard to play the good daughter of her father and mother, Zhou's good maid, and she regarded herself as "Jade" for a long time. If it weren't for the fact that there were people from Ziguishan who came to teach martial arts every month, she would almost think that Ziguishan was just a childhood dream.

It wasn't until she entered the house seven years ago that she received her first directive.

She didn't have doubts, she seemed to have prepared for the sake of entering the mansion, but could anyone have expected everything twelve years ago? How old was Childe at that time? A thin layer of sweat oozed from her forehead, trying to ignore the strange sensation that rose in her heart.

The lights flickered, and Yuan Shijiu and Jade's faces were dragged into a blur, like a nightmare. Se Se got up and picked up the wick, turned his head to look at them blankly, pinched himself, and his voice sounded unreal: "You get up first, and tell me carefully." ”
