When the maid came to greet the old lady when she woke up, Zhou Yunxue had already been watching for half an hour, put down the book and rubbed her slightly sour eyes, then got up and went to Xiao's courtyard.

"Grandmother."

Xiao Shi had just woken up, and was sitting in front of the dresser and asked the little maid to comb her bun, and when she saw her coming, she turned her head and said, "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

Zhou Yunxue shook her head and said, "No, my granddaughter also rested for a while." ”

"Did you sleep well? It's too hot on this day, so people order ice basins in many ways. Xiao stood up and said

"Grandmother, don't worry, I know."

Xiao Shi took her hand and asked, "What have you been busy with at home lately?" ”

"In the morning, after saying goodbye to my grandmother at home, I stayed in my room to read books and copy Buddhist scriptures, and I was not busy." Zhou Yunxue Road

Xiao Shi turned his head and patted the back of her hand lightly, and said, "Just don't be a little old woman like a little old woman, you should go out to play more." ”

Zhou Yunxue said with a smile, "It's a hot day, and it's better to sweat when you go out, so it's better to cool off in the house." ”

"That's right." Xiao Shi frowned, she had forgotten that it was already June

When the two arrived in the front hall, the little maid served refreshments, a small piece of dim sum, Zhou Yunxue pinched a piece, put it in her mouth and praised, "Well, this osmanthus cake still tastes the same as when I was a child, delicious." ”

Xiao Shi smiled, "I know that you like to eat, so my grandmother asked Mama Liu to prepare it." ”

Zhou Yunxue smiled and ate another piece, and said, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

Xiao Shi squinted at her eating, then took a piece of it and said, "How is the affairs of the Hou Mansion handled?" ”

Zhou Yunxue took a sip of tea, cleared her mouth and said, "My father has always been busy, and I heard that the murderer has not been found." ”

"When the Marquis of Yongning set this Wu family for you, he sent someone to check it, but it was not very good, and he sent someone to mention it to him, but in the end, you are the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and the grandmother can't help it." At the beginning, she didn't agree, the Wu family of Taishi Mansion looked bright, because of the greed of the Wu family, in fact, they couldn't support it inside, but Yong Ninghou still insisted on going his own way, and it was not difficult for him to guess that he was going to the third prince.

Zhou Yunxue smiled and patted her hand, and said, "Grandmother, don't worry, isn't this a safe granddaughter." ”

"But if this happens, I'm afraid your family affairs will be more difficult." Xiao said with a frown

"My granddaughter will only be thirteen in a few months, and there are still two years, and I will talk about it then." Zhou Yunxue didn't care

Xiao also nodded, fortunately, his granddaughter was still young, and after two years, this matter has faded in everyone's hearts.

The two chatted about homely food while eating snacks, and the time for dinner was coming, Mama Liu led the little maid to set the meal, and the sauce elbow really appeared on the dinner table, Xiao took the chopsticks and put a piece of it in the bowl, Zhou Yunxue squinted happily and said, "Thank you, grandmother." ”

After the two finished dinner, drank a cup of tea, and went to the garden to take a walk to eat, Xiao Shi is not fat but the physique is because he loves to sweat, and he feels sweaty after half of the garden, and the sky is completely dark, Zhou Yunxue helped her back to the house, and told the little maid to carry water for her to freshen up, and wait for Xiao Shi to enter the bath barrel after resting, Zhou Yunxue went back to the previous house, and the grapes had already asked someone to bring hot water.

Sitting in the bathtub, the water is not too hot, only feel that the pores of the whole body are relaxed, she doesn't like the hot day very much, she sweats after walking a few steps, and she loves to be clean, and she doesn't like the slimy feeling on her body, so when her mother is there, she will go to Zhuangzi with her mother for a month or two in the summer, and touch the white jade on her chest, since she knows the importance of this jade, Zhou Yunxue will wear it when she takes a bath, and I don't know how her mother has this jade pendant.

After letting Lychee dry her hair, Zhou Yunxue sent them down, and took out the book she read today, this is a chess book, Zhou Qingzhi found it for her, and I don't know what this person is doing now, uh... Why did you think of him...

Shaking his head, he shook off the mess, and carefully studied the chess game, at this time, there was a knocking sound from the window not far from his soft couch, Zhou Yunxue twisted his eyebrows and said coldly, "Who?" ”

"It's me." Zhou Qingdao outside the window

Zhou Yunxue got up and opened the window with some surprise, only to see Zhou Qingzhi standing outside the window with a mask, and the corners of his lips hooked up phoenix eyes and looking at him with a smile.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Yunxue said, this general's mansion is not as good as the Hou Mansion, and the courtyard is full of people who were specially left by his grandfather to protect his grandmother, and all of them are masters.

Without waiting for him to reply, Zhou Yunxue turned sideways and said, "Come in first." "If he's found, it's not clear.

Zhou Qingzhi obediently jumped out of the window and came in, took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to her, and said, "The crispy chicken I bought for you." ”

Zhou Yunxue's eyes lit up, she reached out and took it on the table, opened it, pinched a piece of the entrance with her hand, the crispy chicken skin fragrance swept the taste buds, Zhou Qingzhi automatically sat at the table, poured a cup of tea, and drank two sips.

Zhou Yunxue said: "Why did you come here so late?" Is there something going on? ”

Zhou Qingzhi looked at her, in fact, there was nothing wrong, but when he stayed in the study, he felt that she was very unaccustomed to it, so he came to look for her, but said in his mouth, "Aunt Jing is out of the yard." ”

"Oh?" Zhou Yunxue's eyes lit up slightly, and she said, "Finally came out, who did she find?" ”

"Your father." Zhou Qing's way

Zhou Yunxue smiled and said, "Presumably she went to ask her father about the renewal." ”

Zhou Yunxue sat down and said, "It's hard for her to endure it for so long." "It's been more than ten days since she released the news, and Aunt Jing has only come out of the house, I'm afraid that her people have found something, but it's useless to go to her father, her father is now hooked by Pei Zhenbao, the sister of the co-organizer of the university's scholar's family.

"Let people keep an eye on the people in her courtyard, Zhou Yunxia's matter, he will definitely contact the people of the Mighty General's Mansion, and when he sees anyone going out, catch him immediately, don't let them go to the General's Mansion." Zhou Yunxia's eyes showed a fierce light

"I've already sent someone to watch it, don't worry."

"Your father has been quite busy lately." Zhou Qingzhi looked at her side face and said, the little girl is so eye-catching before she grows, she has to hide her in the future, so as not to let some indiscriminate ninja snoop on her, then Wu Changjun has not broken his mind until now, he thinks that no one knows what he has done for the third prince? Hum! Bite off more than one can chew.

"It can be seen that those who go out early and return late are not busy."

"Poof~" Zhou Qingzhi laughed out loud and said, "You are so bad." ”

Zhou Yunxue smiled lightly: "It's not as good as you." Don't think she doesn't know, since she knew that her father told her not to have more contact with him, the next day he asked his subordinates to make a big basket in his father's errand, and he was so busy that others turned over on their backs, and almost made her plan fail, but fortunately, the result is not bad now.

"When you get back, I'll show you a few people." Zhou Qing's way

He seemed to have mentioned it last time, so he said, "Who are they?" ”

"People related to jade pendants."

Zhou Yunxue frowned slightly and said, "Actually, I really want to know how this jade pendant got into my mother's hands, she is just a concubine of the General's Mansion." ”

"You can ask when those people arrive." Zhou Qing's way

"They know why?"

"They are all elders of the clan, so they must know something."

Zhou Yunxue nodded slightly and said to him, "You should go back." ”

Zhou Qingzhi said with some grievances: "I finally climbed over the wall of the General's Mansion to find you, and you let me go before I finished drinking a cup of tea." ”

Zhou Yunxue glanced at him, got up and picked up the uneaten crispy chicken on the table, opened the door and handed it to the hawthorn by the door, and said, "Share it with a few of them." ”

Hawthorn stretched out his hand to take it and looked at the house with some surprise, only to see a cold gaze swept by his master, his body couldn't help but tremble, lowered his head, and said, "That slave went outside to look for lychees." After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.

Zhou Yunxue couldn't help but feel a little strange, this girl was calm in front of her, what was going on at this time, closed the door, turned around and looked at the table where she had taken off her mask, and was looking at herself with a smile, Zhou Qingzhi, and said, "You scared her?" ”

Zhou Qingzhi glanced at her with dissatisfaction, and said, "Am I so scary?" ”

Oh, it's hard to say! Zhou Yunxue looked noncommittal.

"You'd better go back quickly, I'm going to rest." Zhou Yunxue Road

"You sleep with yours, I'll stay here for a while, and I'll leave later."

Zhou Yunxue could be sure that there was something wrong with this person, so she gave him a blank look, then lay down on the bed, and said, "When you go, remember to blow out the lamp for me." ”

Zhou Qingzhi nodded with a smile, looked at the person who turned over and turned his back to him, and sighed slightly in his heart.

After staying in the General's Mansion for three days, Zhou Yunxue returned to the Hou Mansion, and the Xiao family gave her a whole carriage of things, half of which was for the Hou Mansion and half for herself, and what she gave was something that the emperor rewarded people for.

When I arrived at the Hou Mansion, I got off the carriage, and just happened to meet Mama Feng to send Pei Zhenbao out of the mansion, the two glanced at each other, and Pei Zhenbao said to Zhou Yunxuefu, "I've seen the county lord." ”

Zhou Yunxue smiled and helped her, and said, "Miss Pei doesn't have to be polite, this is going home?" ”

"It's been bothering the old lady for a day, and I really don't want to go." Pei Zhenbao said

Zhou Yunxue said with a smile, "Grandmother likes to be lively, Miss Pei should come more." ”

Pei Zhenbao's face was slightly red, and he bowed his head slightly and said, "Bao'er hasn't thanked the county lord yet." As he spoke, he solemnly blessed his body and said, "Thank you, county lord." ”

Zhou Yunxue only said, "This is also Miss Pei's own ability, no need to thank me." ”

The two tacit people glanced at each other, and Zhou Yunxue said, "I still have to go to my grandmother to say goodbye, so I won't send Miss Pei, Miss Pei will go slowly." ”

Pei Zhenbao nodded and gave a salute, Zhou Yunxue led the people towards Tingfeng Garden, Pei Zhenbao looked at her back, lowered her eyes slightly, and Mama Feng on the side said, "Miss Pei, the carriage is already waiting outside the mansion, please here." ”

Pei Zhenbao smiled at her and said, "Thank you, Mama." Then he followed her out of the house and got into the carriage of Pei's house.

Zhou Yunxue ordered someone to enter Tingfeng Garden with the gift from the General's Mansion, the old lady sat on the main seat, and the two little maids were pinching her shoulders and legs, and when she came in, she got up to give a salute and continued the movements in her hands.

When the old lady saw her coming, she smiled and said, "How is the general's wife?" ”

Zhou Yunxue said, "My grandmother's health is fine, but it is a bitter summer, and the amount of food is less." ”

The old lady smiled and said, "She was like this when she was young, and she would nest at home or in Zhuangzi every summer. ”

The little maid served tea, Zhou Yunxue took a sip, and said, "I just ran into Miss Pei when I entered the mansion just now." ”

The old lady opened Ben's slightly squinted eyes and said, "What do you think?" ”

"Not bad." Zhou Yunxue said with a smile

"Grandmother also thinks it's good, your father seems to be quite satisfied, and after a few days, the grandmother will go to talk to Pei Jiati after the birthday banquet of the prince and the princess."

Zhou Yunxue nodded with a smile and chatted again, and the old lady asked her to go back to the house to rest.
