After please pass An, Geng's and An's left and right accompanied Yu Huizhu to leave the main courtyard for a week, halfway through, An's bent down to say goodbye, Geng's moved back from the place where An's left, and whispered: "You take Baolian Gege to the suburbs and remote wilderness, and you will not be allowed to return to the house for a short time, the land is bitter and cold, it is better to let the concubine seek blessings and follow you all the way." ”

Hearing this, Huizhu stopped and turned his head, stared up and down for a moment, and suddenly smiled and said: "Hongli wants to stay in the mansion, Hongday is also in the mansion, if you go with me, who will take care of his brothers" Geng's face flashed hesitation and struggle, and then made up his mind, and said firmly: "Hongli is also more than ten and half, not the person who can't do without his mother, and he has to go to the study to study, and he has been extended for more than two hours every day in the palace, and there is not much time in the mansion, and there is no need for a concubine to take care of him." However, it will not be a short time for you to leave, so let the concubine serve you. ”

Huizhu held on Xiao Ranzi's arm, moved a few steps forward, and then stopped, turned his back to Geng and said, "You can't do anything if you guard your one-acre and three-point land." I also know that you have a good heart, and I understand that it is more advantageous for you to stay in the house than to accompany me, after all, you have to take care of the daily life of the Hongli brothers. If there is really something in the house, deliver a letter to the general manager of Yiliao, and he will inform me. ”

Geng Shi looked at Huizhu in surprise, swallowed his surprise for a while, and resumed his usual words: "Xie Niu Hulu Fujin pointed." Huizhu replied: "You haven't seen Baolian for a few days, you will eat in my yard this afternoon, and then look at Baolian." Geng stepped forward to Huizhu's side and said, "Then I'll go to your place at noon." After that, the two gossiped about homely things while returning to the hospital together.

After a few days of tidying up, it passed quickly, and on the morning of April 28, Huizhu took advantage of the time to say goodbye to the Ulanara clan and set off. Wulanala saw that the Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, so he persuaded everyone to let Huizhu's mother and daughter go after the Dragon Boat Festival, but Huizhu thought that the Dragon Boat Festival was over, and the heat during the day was unbearable, so it was better to go to the countryside earlier. So early in the morning of the second day, he asked 26 guards to escort him, and the two imperial doctors Xue Chen accompanied him for treatment, and let Xiao Ranzi, Xiao Juan, Rong Mama, and A Xing wait to go.

In the courtyard, including the chief manager Fugui, there are a total of 64 people, and it is more than enough to serve Huizhu's mother and daughter. And this manager Fugui came out of the palace, and he is also a person with a careful eye, which is a comfortable way to take care of the daily life of Huizhu's mother and daughter, and some side branches and leaves are also extremely fine, which is a little stronger than the exquisite life of the powerful nobles in the palace.

Huizhu's mother and daughter live a comfortable and comfortable life in the country courtyard, without having to deal with all the human affairs in the house, and they don't have to calculate and act in every word and deed. Here, you can speak freely, leisurely, every day is not to walk around the yard, or embroidery building to play, just take the guard maid to the countryside to play, happy to get Pauline laughing every day, the ear is a disease may be because of the happy mood, the diagnosis and treatment effect is unusually good, just three months the right ear has been able to hear a lot of noise, Xue in the doctor is to assert that in early autumn, Pauline's right ear will be able to return to normal.

Baolian's ear disease gradually improved, Huizhu was happier than anyone else, watching her young daughter come to this country courtyard, she was much happier than in the house, and the more grateful Yinzhen was for all this. Even when she saw the countryside and the simple village at sunrise and made a daily life, the whole person was suddenly enlightened, only to feel that her mind was also broadened, and she faintly found the state of mind more than ten years ago, and was not confined to the inner courtyard of the back house, which can be described as an unexpected gain of this trip.

At this time, it is the middle of July, because after the seventh day of the new year, it is the hottest dog days of the year. Huizhu was afraid that the afternoon sun would be scorching, so at dawn, when the sky was not yet hot, Ming Fugui packed up a few solid Zhuanghu summer clothes, and let Xiao Ranzi, Xiao Juan and the two guards dress up as little servants to follow them, and took Baolian to walk around the small village twenty miles away from the courtyard.

There is a simple snack stall at the intersection of Shizi Road in front of the village, which sells some porridge and side dishes every morning, the price is extremely cheap, a bowl of porridge and a dish of vegetables are only half a penny, the peasant women who get up early in the village to raise silkworms and skein all love to come here to sit, three or three to make up a bowl of porridge to divide the money, the chairman does it one by one, while doing the work, while talking about the gossip of the east and west families.

At this time, the sun had just risen, and Huizhu had already taken Baolian's hand and walked to the entrance of the village, only to see a middle-aged peasant woman dressed in blue cloth and waving a large pot and spoon in her hand, shouting: "Fourth lady, you came just right, today's side dishes are fresh, and the wild vegetables that my second son went to the field to dig before dawn today, and the taste is very good." As he spoke, he took a bowl of tuba and scooped a bowl full of salty porridge, and grabbed a few yellow grains with his hand and put them in the bowl.

Huizhu smiled: "Aunt Zhang, I came here early in the morning because I was worried about your porridge." Aunt Zhang listened to the words of praise, and was so happy that she didn't disturb her mouth, and deliberately put some more side dishes on the plate and brought them to the long table in front of Huizhu, and said with a smile: "You are the lady of Xiucai's family, if you can like the porridge of your aunt's family, drink more." ”

Huizhu said yes in a loud voice, picked up a pair of chopsticks, and looked at the anxious eyes of Xiao Ranzi and others who pretended not to know not far away, and directly took a bite of salty porridge with chopsticks and wild vegetables, and after feeding Baolian a small bite, he looked up and smiled: "Well, this wild vegetable is fresh." After speaking, the mother and daughter buried a bowl of salty porridge.

After a while, more and more people came, and I suddenly heard a peasant woman gossiping: "Do you know? There was a nobleman's courtyard on the other side of the temple, and the day before I was in charge, I went to deliver food there, but it scared my mouth. There are actually a lot of officers and soldiers around the courtyard, and there are people who look like a man, but their voices are sharp and not praised. A young peasant woman, who was drinking porridge and was still better dressed, said, "Do you know who lives in that courtyard?" That's the mother, the golden nobleman, this is why there will be officers and soldiers, eunuchs. ”

"Ahem cough ......" Huizhu listened to the word "Niangniang", the porridge just entered was choked to the throat, and before she swallowed it, she only heard that the woman was showing off and envious, and continued: "My mother-in-law often goes to the temple to send some things, and I just heard that the place is used by the princess to recuperate, this Niangniang, is a fairy-like figure, so the prince is very favored, and he sent some things that we have never heard of in three days, and he came from all over the capital, just to see the sick Niangniang." ”

Huizhu couldn't use the porridge anymore, so she simply concentrated on feeding Baolian, but heard someone ask: "The fourth lady is a fairy-like character, can the lady have the beauty of the fourth lady?" Huizhu's cheeks flushed instantly, and she waved her hand again and again: "Auntie, I can't help this, how can I talk to that...... Mother's Match! ”

Seeing Huizhu's shy appearance, the peasant woman in a shed hurriedly quipped: "Fourth lady, don't be humble, my wife has lived for decades, and I have never seen such a handsome young daughter-in-law as you. Seeing that the words were on Huizhu, everyone also said curiously: "Fourth lady, you have been taking your daughter to relatives for a long time, why haven't you come to pick you up yet?" ”

Huizhu said with a wry smile: "My father-in-law is still working as an errand in the book shop in Beijing, I think it is busy during this time, and it will take some time, it is estimated that within half a year, I will have to live in my uncle's house." At the beginning, the peasant woman who could show off suddenly said "Ah", "Didn't your uncle's family work as an errand in that mother's house?" Tell me quickly, you can see the mother, what does the mother look like? Huizhu looked embarrassed, looked down at her daughter who was drinking porridge quietly, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, where have I ever seen that nobleman?" Sister-in-law, you should teach me skein, I am also easy to learn, and I will add some money to the family. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked at the sun and it was not too early, so they picked up the silkworm cocoons in the basin, pulled the silk with their hands, and rolled it on the silk basket.

The time of the morning slipped by quietly, and the sun was getting more and more prosperous, and Huizhu estimated that it would be noon in another hour, so she planned to get up and go back. But the sky is cloudy and sunny, and the clouds can attract rain, and in a blink of an eye, I only hear a loud sound, which is a downpour. Huizhu's mother and daughter had to take shelter from the rain in the tent, while Xiao Ranzi and others also hid in the grass pavilion not far away.

The rain stopped for a while, the sky cleared again, and a rainbow suddenly set up in the blue sky, Baolian excitedly pulled Huizhu's sleeve and shouted: "Mother, look." At this time, Huizhu also got up according to the words, bent over, put one hand on Baolian's belly, and pointed to the rainbow with the other, teaching the color of Baolian's right ear.

"Hui Niang......" a cold voice called.

Hui Niang? Who is it? Without thinking about it, Huizhu suddenly heard whose voice it was, reacted, and with everyone's surprised eyes, she turned her head to look, only to see Yinzhen wearing a cloth and green shirt, striding with his hands behind his back, and Xiao Luzi in a small house's clothes next to him.

Huizhu's body stiffened, cold sweat broke out in the palm of Baolian's hand, her lips trembled for a while, she opened her mouth, and could only silently call the word "master", and then waited for Yinzhen to approach step by step.

When the peasant women saw that the person who came obviously knew Huizhu, and called Huizhu "Huizhu", they guessed that it was Huizhu's talented husband, so the bolder young peasant woman laughed and said: "Fourth lady, but your family is a talented princess in the capital to see your mother, why are you stunned." Isn't it happy to be stupid. ”

The peasant women spoke in a veiled manner, Huizhu was thinking about how to explain in her heart, but she clearly remembered that Yinzhen didn't like her to show up, at this moment, the peasant women were so unscrupulous and laughing, she could imagine how Yinzhen should be angry later.

was thinking about it sadly, but Yinzhen, who stopped outside the pergola, said, "Huiniang, I'll pick you up and Bao'er to go back to Xiangwu." ”

(Well, I think Huizhu is tired in the first few chapters, so I wrote some chapters on Huizhu's love for the countryside, Goo)

End of chapter.
