"With a shrewd and capable master like you, I'm afraid that I won't be able to train a good apprentice?"

"I'm afraid that the apprentices of the church will starve the master to death......"

Bi Tong blurted out a sentence that confirmed Cheng Xueyan's guess in her heart, she was afraid that many people would not value her. She couldn't help laughing, this Bitong is also mature and stable among her peers, but she is still a child.

Bi Tong lost her words and revealed her thoughts, and couldn't help blushing: "After all, how can we slaves and maids be involved in the girl's affairs?" If the girl likes Xiaoyu, she will come back tomorrow and ask her to come over......"

As he spoke, he suddenly felt aggrieved, and sat aside with red eyes to wipe his tears.

Cheng Xueyan finally couldn't help laughing, but Bitong's tears were even more: "The slave maid thinks about the girl, and the girl still makes fun of the slave maid ......"

"Okay, okay, if you're not tired, put this matter down first, but don't complain to me in the future......"

Bi Tong sniffed: "The slave is born as a girl's person, and death is a girl's ghost, how can she be tired?" ”

When she said this, Cheng Xueyan's back was cold.

Bitong was also taken aback, when did she become so loyal?

"You're still sitting there, why don't you come and comb your hair?" Cheng Xueyan pretended to be angry.

Bi Tong burst into tears and laughed and picked up the comb.

"Today, the girl is going to Xihu with her wife and other girls, so it's better to dress low-key."

Bitong now uses the word "low-key" very freely.

Cheng Xueyan muttered in private, since I came here, when have I dressed up in a high-profile manner? Recently, because of Ling Su's confusion, the plan he made was not done, but he couldn't delay it any longer, at least he had to pay back the gifts from Yuling Tower and Manxue Pavilion first, and thank others for their help.

Other than that......

"If you're going with someone else, why do you want to 'make an appointment after dusk'?"

That's the most important question at the moment.

Bi Tong chuckled: "Bi Tong said that the girl couldn't let go of Ling Gongzi." Rest assured, Bitong has her own way. ”

As soon as the unitary time arrived, Cheng Xueyan wore a light cyan upper with a moon-white embroidered purple magnolia bandeau as usual, a smoke-blue silk skirt underneath, and a low flat bun with blue and silver beads, and the whole person was so plain that she could almost dissolve into the air.

However, when she saw a series of female dependents standing on the bluestone-paved road in the outer courtyard, she felt a little better. Only Cheng Xueyao was a little outstanding, a pair of double butterfly flower hairpins and leaning on the slanted bun, as her red lips closed one by one, the butterfly's tentacles trembled with excitement.

She was reprimanding Qitong.

Qitong was accustomed to standing solemnly, carrying a thin bamboo basket, thinking that there were two dying koi fish inside, and Cheng Xueyao's reprimand was also inseparable from the word "koi".

“…… Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you think that if you kill these two fish, you can replace them and the carp will jump over the dragon gate and become a god? I'm telling you, don't even think about it, and you don't look at who you are......"

Cheng Xueyan sincerely admires Cheng Xueyao's associative ability, just like these two fishes can make her play extraordinarily, what is this?

Probably Du Mizhen couldn't stand her noise, and shouted majestically: "Xue Yao......"

Cheng Xueyao immediately retracted, but she twisted Qitong's arm with no hatred, and then looked at Cheng Xueyan, and opened her mouth: "Sister is finally willing to give up today?" I heard that my sister has been in poor health these days, but when people are sick, they are thinner than Huanghua, why is my sister's sick complexion getting better? ”

Cheng Xueyan smiled faintly: "Thanks to everyone taking care of ......"

"Isn't it?" Cheng Xueyao rolled her eyes: "My mother sent all the thousand-year-old snow ginseng given by the emperor to Yanran Pavilion......"

Cheng Xueyan hurriedly curtsied to Du Mizhen: "Thank you, Madame, for the reward." ”

Du Mizhen didn't look at her, as if the ginseng matter had nothing to do with her.

"But it's not like some people can be human," Cheng Xueyao continued with a sneer: "Give away the things that you took back from the outside......

As if the person mentioned in the words was not herself, Tang Fanrou always had a gentle smile on her face.

Cheng Xueman always rarely spoke when there were many people, she just curled the corners of her mouth slightly at Cheng Xueyan, and Cheng Xueyan nodded back quietly.

Usually at this time, Du Yingzi is indispensable to fan the flames, but her voice cannot be heard.

Cheng Xueyan looked around strangely, only to see her standing at the end of the crowd wearing a lake-green pleated skirt, carrying a small baggage, as if she was going to go far away, and at this moment she was looking down to talk to a little girl wearing a white pomegranate flower shirt that was more than half a head shorter than herself.

The little girl has a slight figure, and her appearance is quite similar to Du Yingzi, but her expression lacks Du Yingzi's shrewdness, and even a little ...... Sluggish. At this moment, she pouted slightly, and she didn't know what she was looking at, Du Yingzi also got rid of her usual arrogance, and whispered something on the side, Cheng Xueyan only picked up one name from it...... Eva. At this time, a little girl in a blue shirt stepped forward to give a salute, handed a bamboo basket to the little girl, and said by the way: "Cousin girl, this is specially prepared for you by Madame." ”

Fu Yixue, the daughter of Du Yingzi. I heard that I was born with a deficiency disease, and those who had evil mouths said that it was because my mother was too shrewd, so she took advantage of her daughter's blessings.

"Miss Qin is also going with you?"

Cheng Xueyan was looking at the cousin girl who had a relationship with her, and Bi Tong said a word coldly beside her.

Following the prestige, I saw Qin Gulan, who was wearing a pear blossom blue dark pattern gauze shirt and an off-white soft silk long skirt, appeared eye-catching next to Du Mizhen.

Bitong reminded her. This person present should have been the daughter of the Cheng Mansion, how could Qin Gulan ......

The corners of Qin Gulan's lips curled reservedly, and she didn't answer, her eyes were open with a hint of disdain, and there was even ...... Bitterness......

Cheng Xueyan suspected that she was dazzled for a while, and when she was about to be confirmed, she saw four two-wheeled carriages coming from the end of the road. Surprisingly, the carriage was not as gorgeous as she imagined, it was pulled by a horse, the carriage was made of wood, carved with auspicious patterns, and a small window was opened on each side, decorated with Huanxi plain yarn, which swayed slightly under the wind.

It's lively here again, Cheng Xueyao has to sit in the car in the middle, and she has to sit alone. However, there are so many ladies in the Cheng Mansion, and they all have maids, and only four cars are not enough to be allocated, so she has to occupy one alone......

"Qin Gulan, why are you coming along? Do you think that if you are given Weilan Pavilion to live in Cheng Mansion, you are a member of the Cheng family? My mother is soft-hearted, and she was fooled by you, and my eyes don't rub sand. Today I would like to ask you, which one do you have your eye on? My father, my eldest brother, is still ...... Oh, could it be that you are here to be a child bride for our family? ”

The corners of Qin Gulan's reserved lips twitched, and no matter how good the rose rouge was, it couldn't cover her pale face.

Du Mizhen's expression was very strange, like anger and laughter...... This is difficult to grasp.

"Xue Yao, what are you talking nonsense again? Even if it's a child's words, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't take it to heart......"

Speaking of this, her gaze seemed to glance at Qin Gulan inadvertently.

The relationship between Qin Gulan and Du Mizhen doesn't seem to be as close as Bitong said, Cheng Xueyan secretly thought, no wonder, when it comes to men, how can women not be vigilant? But it's also funny, what do you say "childish words"...... Although Cheng Xueyao is only fourteen years old, it is estimated that Cheng's food is too good, and she does not look like a child.

"Naturally, I won't take it to heart, otherwise why would I still stay here? Qitong, study more in your spare time, and have tears in your eyes when you have nothing to do, as if I have done something to you. ”

Cheng Xueyao naturally understood her mother's meaning, and there was no sign of restraint.

In comparison, Qin Gulan is very stylish. I saw her smile, although her face was still pale, but she exuded a sense of nobility: "Gu Lan suddenly remembered that she was going to teach the girls a new song tomorrow, and I forgot to practice it after a day of leisure." Madam, ladies and gentlemen, Gu Lan retired. ”

She walked away in good spirits. Although he was humiliated, his back was still straight, and his steps were not disordered at all.

vacating a parking space, Cheng Xueyao felt that she was simply a hero. looked around arrogantly, but did not receive a look of gratitude or admiration, and was annoyed in his heart, and this time, his eyes fell on Cheng Xueyan.

Cheng Xueyan's heart trembled, and she didn't know what words she was going to use to humiliate herself.

Sure enough, Cheng Xueyao had a small mouth, and as soon as her little white teeth were exposed, she was about to speak, but Bitong took the lead: "Oh, girl, what's wrong with you?" ”

Cheng Xueyan only felt a pain in her toes, but she didn't feel the pain.

"Girl, are you feeling unwell again?"

Bi Tong quietly moved out the embroidered shoes that suddenly leaned under the master's long skirt and stepped on the master's foot.

Cheng Xueyan immediately realized: "Sudden stomach discomfort ......"

She raised her head apologetically, bent slightly and covered her stomach: "Madam, I'm afraid it's ......"

"If you're not feeling well, go back and rest." Du Mizhen didn't even glance at her, her face expressionless.

Cheng Xueyao was deeply dissatisfied with her words because of the sudden problem with the target, even though Cheng Xueyan had turned to leave, she still said angrily: "It's really lazy donkey grinding ......"

Du Mizhen glanced at her, and she hurriedly swallowed back the second half of the very inelegant sentence.

If so, she finally got her wish and rode in a carriage alone, Du Mizhen naturally sat alone, Tang Fanrou and Cheng Xueman sat in the same car, Du Yingzi and her daughter Fu Yixue sat in the last car, and the maid followed by their respective masters' cars.

The first carriage and horsewhip sounded, and the car set off on the bluestone road.

Cheng Xueyan and Bitong poked their heads out from behind the shadow wall, listened to the movement for a long time, and finally sighed.

The two crept out, and were naturally interrogated at the door. Bi Tong showed him the two little turtles in the basket in a copper basin, and the gatekeeper immediately let them go, but also asked if they needed a carriage to see them off, and then said that the carriages in the house had just left.

It was really inappropriate for two women to run on the street like this, and the Xihu Lake was five miles away, but fortunately, Bitong quickly hired a carriage.

Cheng Xueyan has been going out for the first time since she crossed here, but it turned out that this Tianhao country not only has a "taxi" - a two-wheeled or four-wheeled light carriage, but also a bus - a six-wheeled or more horse-drawn carriage with more than four horses, Bitong said that it is called a "big car", judging from the number of windows, it can seat at least twenty people, and it does not include standing in the middle aisle, of course, she doesn't know if this public carriage is as overcrowded as modern passengers, but she quickly saw the thrilling clips that are often staged on the highway.
