Beiliu shook his head, "I haven't received it." Hou Ye didn't know if he had arrived in Bashu, so the little lady began to think about it! ”

Eighteen Niangjun's face flushed, where did she think, she was obviously worried that his trip would not be safe.

By the time the eighteen mothers were finally able to get out of bed and carry out normal activities, it was already in the wax moon, and the heavy snow had finally stopped, and the rare sunlight shone on the tower of Chang'an City. The ice cube reflected a colorful light and turned into water and fell into the stone nest as if it were raining lightly.

The people in the courtyard were in full swing shoveling the snow, and Nanzhi hung out the bacon specially pickled for Eighteen Niang to dry, "Xiao Niang's meat, but it was specially smoked with tangerine peel, and it was fragrant, and now it can be regarded as sunburning." ”

Beiliu is preparing for the festival gifts to various prefectures, and this year, for the great cause of the plum period, the eighteenth mother and many ladies and young ladies in Chang'an City have walked frequently, and this year's gifts have increased all of a sudden.

And Dongzhu is crackling in the side room, the eighteen mother's family has a big business, and at the end of this year, the Zhuangzi shop has to remit an account, and Dongzhu is so busy that even the meal is casually pulled in the house.

Xiping is embroidering her own dowry, she is a martial maid is not good at this, Eighteen Niang specially invited an embroidery girl on the side, stitch and thread to teach.

I don't want you to embroider a peony flower with a national color and fragrance, and you will always be able to cut cloth and make clothes for yourself.

There was only Eighteen Niang, walking around the courtyard with nothing to do, looking east and west, folding a few plums and wanting to insert bottles.

"Nanzhi, what about my plain white bottle, this red plum is very good, I am looking for it, and it is not suitable anywhere."

Nanzhi wiped his hands, "Little lady, I'll get it for you in a while, so don't walk around and make a mess." With this effort, it is better to go to Dou Niang to drink tea. ”

Eighteen Niang pursed her lips boringly, always feeling that she was a big idler and was disliked.

Xu's house was next door, and Eighteen Niang stretched, "Then I'll really go." ”

When Xiping saw it, he hurriedly threw the embroidery work in his hand into the small bamboo basket, "Xiao Niang is inseparable from people, so the slave will accompany you." You should be a poor slave, and these ten fingers are about to burst. ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers, and sure enough, she saw that there were red dots on it.

Eighteen Niang shook her head, "You're not this onion, forget it." When you get married, I'll give you an embroidery girl, so that you won't go out in the future. ”

Xiping was overjoyed, and walked towards Xufu with Eighteen Niang.

When I went out of the door, I saw a team of red makeup passing by at the gate of the house, and the dowry was so full that it was about to overflow, "Go out and see joy, this is a good omen, I don't know which family this is to marry?" ”

The porter saw Eighteen Niang asking, and hurriedly replied, "It's the concubine of General Liu's family at the east end of the alley, who wants to marry the second prince as a side concubine. ”

Eighteen Niang frowned, the general surnamed Liu, that is the Praetorian Guard.

The second prince is already a blatant puller, Duan Qi fell before, and he took over the Black Feather Guard under him in a hurry, and now he is targeting the Praetorian Guard.

She and Mrs. Liu pushed Pai Gow on Zhuangzi together, and they knew each other well. This General Liu's wife was also born in Jiangmen, and her temper was very hot, because she didn't give birth to a daughter, so she raised a concubine Mei Niang under her knees. Presumably the one who got married today is that Liu Mei.

"Do you want to go and inquire?" Xiping hung his head and asked in a low voice.

"No need, Master Hou is not in Chang'an, let's be cautious." Eighteen Niang said, and when the wedding team left, she went to Xu's mansion.

As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xu Dou whipping the snow on the tree with a whip, and accidentally dropped a large piece into his neck, and he jumped to his feet in anger.

Eighteen Niang smiled: "Ah Dou is too hot, find some snow to cool down?" ”

Xu Dou turned his head and saw that it was Eighteen Niang, and pounced in surprise, but was stopped by Xiping reaching out.

She glanced at Xiping and dragged Eighteen Niang's hand: "You can get out of bed, after lying down for so many days, you are about to get moldy, right?" ”

Eighteen Niang nodded, "No, my mother's side is good at medicinal food, eating day and night, I feel like I have mellow several times." ”

Xu Dou circled around Eighteen Niang and looked at it carefully, "The face is a lot of meat, Li Ziqi is tired and tired in Bashu, Eighteen Niang, you are delicious and delicious in Chang'an City, tsk ......"

Eighteen Niang pinched her face, "What are you so talented?" I'm going to get married in the spring, why are you so naïve? ”

Xu Dou stomped his feet, "It's not my brother yet." Originally, my mother took a fancy to Liu Meiniang, and all the eight characters were combined, but she was inserted by the second prince, which was angry enough, but my stupid brother actually went to the second prince's mansion to drink happy wine, which made me angry. ”

At this time, Eighteen Niang also felt that Xu Wu was a little inexplicable, "Your mansion has no friendship with the Second Prince's Mansion, and you are just marrying a side concubine...... Could it be that the one he liked before was Liu Meiniang? ”

Xu Dou bit his fingers, recalled Xu Wu's every move on weekdays, and shook his head: "It shouldn't be, my aunt said that Liu Meiniang was set for him, and he was not happy." But it's also possible that he is hiding it, and he regrets it when he gets married, so he has to go. Don't talk about this, hurry up, the kitchen has just been scalded with sugar chips, and there are a lot of flax and peanuts, which are delicious. ”

Eighteen Niang took the sugar slices handed over by the maid behind her, and took a bite, crispy, sweet but not greasy, very fragrant.

"That's a good one."

Xu Doule waved his hand, "Don't hurry up and wrap a big bag for Eighteen Niang, she is greedy and greedy, it's rare to have a sweet tooth that she said, no, it's all wrapped!" ”

Eighteen Niang was a little crying and laughing, "It seems that I came to you to beg for food." ”

"What's that, I'll go to your place every once in a while to eat and bring it. Your piano lady hasn't been doing well lately! I heard my mother say that the concubine Mao was misborn, the children are eight months old, and they all say that they are not alive, and the child will not be angry when he is born. There is Concubine Liu in the door, then Liu Meiniang is amazing, my mother chose her before, just hoping that she can control my brother! ”

Eighteen Niang listened to Xu Dou's words, thoughtfully, since the ** county lord sent her, she was forced to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and completely broke off contact with Shen Qin, but she didn't worry about these things.

"Everyone has their own fate, and outsiders can't interfere."

Xu Dou nodded, "It's this Li'er." Let's go, I'll take you to meet one of my new parrots, who can talk to people. ”

Eighteen Niang was about to lift her feet and walk, when she saw Beiliu rushing in, whispering beside Eighteen Niang, Eighteen Niang's body shook several times, before she barely stood firm, and said to Xu Dou: "Ah Dou, there is some urgent matter in my house, come to see your parrot brother another day." Thank you for the candy. ”
