The old man took Situ Nanyun around several courtyards and gardens and came to a courtyard called Zhumengju.

As soon as they settled Xu Xifeng, the Xu couple hurried over.

"Feng'er, how is my Feng'er?" A dignified and elegant woman with high temples rushed in.

Situ Nanyun guessed that the woman was Xu Xifeng's mother, so she immediately greeted her, saluted the woman, and introduced herself, "I am Xifeng's friend, Yun'er, he is sick now, I hope you have a way to cure him, madam." ”

Xu Maosong then caught up, looked at Situ Nanyun with sharp eyes, and asked, "How did he get sick, and what are his symptoms?" ”

Situ Nanyun only said that she fell ill on the way, and described the symptoms again, without mentioning the encounter between her and Xu Xifeng being chased and killed all the way, so as not to frighten the Xu couple.

Mrs. Xu's face turned pale, her lips trembled, and she muttered in a low voice, "Why did you get sick two months early, how can this be good?" ”

Xu Maosong looked much calmer, put his arm around Mrs. Xu's shoulders, and comforted: "Madam, no matter what, we will find a way to save Feng'er." But he looked at Situ Nanyun, didn't say anything about Xifeng's condition, and said politely: "Miss Yun'er, thank you for sending Feng'er back, since you are Feng'er's friend, you will live in our Xu family for a while, and let me and my wife express their gratitude to the girl." ”

Situ Nanyun didn't know if Lin Yuelan was out of danger, whether she had arrived at Yuhuzhuang safely, she couldn't rest assured, she thought that she would send Xu Xifeng back safely, so she went to Yuhuzhuang to find him, since the Xu couple could solve the poison of the previous one or two times, there would definitely be a way to save Xu Xifeng this time, and he didn't need to worry too much, seeing Xu Maosong's good intentions to stay, thinking that Xu Xifeng's life was on the verge of dying, and it was not good to leave him alone at this time, so he nodded, "Master Xu, you are polite, as a friend of Xifeng, it is natural to do this, Since you have spoken out, then I will be here to disturb you for a few days, and if there is anything you need my help with, please ask. ”

Xu Maosong nodded with a smile, "So, the old man is grateful to Miss Yun'er." ”

Situ Nanyun wandered around the Xu Mansion for a long time, and looked at the courtyards and scenery of the Xu Mansion, and liked the exquisite elegance of the Xu Mansion very much, especially the vitality and beauty of its garden. Although it was winter, the flowers in the garden were competing with each other, and the colors of the flowers were her three favorite colors: light purple, silver white, and tender yellow. Although I don't know what kind of flowers they are, they are not afraid of the cold, and the quality of the life essence proudly blooming makes her very awe-inspired, and she involuntarily approached the flower branch, leaned over, rubbed the delicate piece with her forehead, smelled the faint fragrance emanating from the flowers, and was intoxicated.

The voice of the old man who answered the door came from behind her, "Miss Yun'er is looking at the flowers." ”

Situ Nanyun saw that it was the old man, so he asked, "Old man, what is the name of this flower?" ”

"It's called Yuqin Han, it's the favorite flower of the lord and wife, and it's been raised in the house for more than 20 years. There are also in the courtyard of the lord and the lady, and the flowers there are usually taken care of by the lady herself, and they grow even better than this. The old man replied with a kind smile.

Situ Nanyun thought that Yu Qinhan's name was a little familiar, as if he had seen it in a book, but he didn't think of it for a while, stood up, and smiled faintly at the old man, "I didn't expect Mrs. to have such a Yaxing, I really look forward to going there to see it." ”

The old man smiled at the door, approached, and said that dinner had been prepared, and the lady invited her over for dinner, so Situ Nanyun followed the old man to the Zhiheng Courtyard of the Xu family. The old man's steps were a little strange, it seemed that every step was measured, and she didn't think much about it, thinking that the elderly people walked somewhat strangely.

The Xu couple prepared a table of sumptuous meals, and the old man was about to leave, when Mrs. Xu's words floated out, "Uncle Xu will also eat together, one more person will be more lively." ”

Uncle Xu didn't shirk either, thanked Mrs. Xu and sat down, so the four of them ate around a big table. During the banquet, Xu Maosong said a lot of interesting things about Xu Xifeng when he was a child, and Situ Nanyun talked about the general process of her acquaintance with Xu Xifeng, and the atmosphere was not cold.

Mrs. Xu was busy toasting Situ Nanyun's dishes, but Situ Nanyun was a little flattered, "Madam, you're polite, I'll come by myself." ”

Mrs. Xu poured her a glass of wine and smiled with a lovely smile, "Miss Yun'er, aunt thank you for taking care of Feng'er, I respect you for this glass of wine." ”

Seeing Mrs. Xu's kindness, it was not easy to refuse, Situ Nanyun had no choice but to take the wine glass, "I don't usually drink alcohol, since Mrs. is gracious, then I will drink this glass." After a glass of wine, I felt that there was no usual bitterness and spicy tongue, and I couldn't help but ask curiously what kind of wine it was.

"This is Gyokuro, made from a special flower." Mrs. Xu said with a smile.

"It's called Yulu, a special flower, but Yuqin Han?" Situ Nanyun remembered the light purple and silver in the garden, so he asked.

"Exactly, Miss Yun'er has seen Yuqin Han in my garden?" A hint of appreciation flashed in Mrs. Xu's eyes.

"Well, it was Uncle Xu who saw that I liked this flower, so he told me that it was called Yu Qinhan, and also told me that this Yu Qin Han is a favorite thing of my wife, and I have been raising it for more than 20 years. Mrs. is really a good orchid, she can not only raise flowers, but also make wine, Yun'er admires. Situ Nanyun praised sincerely.

"Where, where, it's just a pleasure to pass the time." Mrs. Xu laughed.

Mrs. Xu saw that Situ Nanyun was very interested in raising flowers and making wine, so she introduced the recipe for raising flowers and making wine, and she listened to it with relish, and interjected a few words from time to time, humbly asking for advice. Later, under the inspiration of Mrs. Xu's diligent persuasion and fine wine, she drank one cup after another, and even she didn't know how many glasses she drank, and returned to the room with a hazy drunkenness.

When Situ Nanyun woke up, it was already dawn. The weather outside was fine, and the winter sun shone in through the window of the room, scattering bright spots in front of the window. Situ Nanyun rubbed her eyes, stretched her waist, felt that her limbs were a little sore and weak, thinking that it was because she had slept for a long time, and she didn't care much.

She paced and came to the garden, but she didn't meet anyone along the way, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart: Why is there a huge Xu Mansion, and there are not many people? Yesterday, I also saw an Uncle Xu and a little boy who answered the door, this Xu Mansion doesn't seem to be the master who can't afford to invite people, what's going on? She remembered that Xu Xifeng was building a dream house, and wanted to see how he was, so she walked towards the dream house.

Zhumeng lived on the east side of the garden, there was a long way to go, and just halfway to the road, she suddenly felt hungry and panicked, her whole body was weak, and she broke out in cold sweats, and wondered that she had only slept one night, as if she hadn't eaten for several days. I was about to turn back and find something to eat first, when I suddenly met a stranger. The man, dressed in monk's robes and holding a ghost-headed cane in his hand, was stunned for a moment when he saw her, and then walked out with strange steps. Situ Nanyun secretly wondered: This person seemed to be surprised when he saw her, who is this person? It's a strange way to walk. She thought of Uncle Xu's strange steps, and put a question mark in her mind, feeling that the people in Xu's Mansion walked very strangely, could it be that they were suffering from leg diseases one by one, she thought. Thinking of that Uncle Xu, she went to him to get herself something to eat, after all, Xu Fu was familiar with him alone, and it was not good to go directly to the Xu couple, so she moved to the gate of Xu Mansion step by step.

When I arrived at the door, I didn't see Uncle Xu, but I saw another person. The man was of medium height, with a mustache on his face, and a shrewd light burst out of his eyes, and when he saw Situ Nanyun, he seemed to be taken aback, and then immediately smiled on his face, "Miss Yun'er, I am the new supervisor of the Xu Mansion, my surname is Ding, you can call me Uncle Ding or Steward Ding, Uncle Xu has gone back to save his relatives in the past few days, and I will replace him for the time being." ”

"Well, hello Uncle Ding, do you know me?" Situ Nanyun was a little surprised, and after sleeping for one night, the Xu Mansion changed a housekeeper.

"Madame told me that you live in our house, and there are no other female guests in our house, I guess it's you." Steward Ding explained with a smile.

"Uncle Ding, the Xu Mansion is so big, why do I only see you? Where did the others go? Situ Nanyun asked.

"That's the case, our lord and lady don't like too many people, the girls and the little ones go out after their work, they don't live in the house."

"Oh, that's right, Uncle Ding, that me...... I'm hungry, where is the food in the house? Situ Nanyun was a little embarrassed.

She overslept, and she had to trouble people to make her breakfast, which was a little uncomfortable.

Steward Ding looked apologetic, "Miss Yun'er, this is my dereliction of duty, I didn't arrange it, you go back to the room first, and I will immediately order someone to send it over." ”

After Situ Nanyun left, Steward Ding hurried to Zhihengju, "Master, she woke up and has been wandering around the courtyard for a long time, but fortunately I found her and asked her to go back to the room." ”

Xu Maosong showed a surprised expression on his face, "I didn't expect that the ten days of drunkenness on her would not have much effect, and she woke up in three days, fortunately she was sent back to the room yesterday, otherwise when she found out our purpose, things would not be easy." ”

Steward Ding nodded in agreement, "It's still the master who thinks about it thoroughly." ”

Xu Maosong sighed, and then said: "This girl is really not to be underestimated, the first soul master did a spell for three days in a row, but she didn't take the treasure on her body, and in the end, she vomited blood on the spot and almost gave her life." I'm afraid that when I do it again, I will have to wait until ten days and a half months later, but it's a pity that Situ Nanyun woke up by herself. ”

"Master, can't you get drunk for three days, and when the mana of the first soul master recovers in the future, let her drink it again, won't it." Steward Ding swears authentically.

"Don't you know, these ten days of drunkenness, the first time you drink, you can also get drunk for three days, the second time you drink, the time that gets drunk will be shorter than the previous time, the first time you do it for three days, you can't take off the floating roots, I'm afraid it will be more difficult in the future." The look on Xu Maosong's face was very dark.

Steward Ding was silent.

Xu Maosong's sharp eyes glanced at the silent housekeeper Ding, and then said: "That girl is very smart, I'm worried that Uncle Xu is too old to deal with it, so I sent him elsewhere, when I see her, you know what to say and what not to say, right?" In addition, keep an eye on her for me, and don't let her go to the young master's or run out alone. ”

Steward Ding nodded and walked out.
