The carriage of Zhai Fengyu Road, which was pulled by eight horses in the canopy, rang all the way, went up along the winding mountain road, and finally stopped in front of a simple and unpretentious mountain gate. Above the mountain gate, three stone carved seal characters, Caigen hermitage.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Song, Dong Xuanying and Dong Qianmo got down from the carriage in turn.

In the early morning, the spring cold on the top of the mountain invaded the body, Song and Dong Xuanying held a purple gold relief hand stove in their hands, but Dong Qianmo was empty-handed, and his fingertips were frozen blue.

When the mountain wind blew, her thin shoulders trembled slightly.

Dong Xuanying looked back and asked with a smile: "Fourth sister, you wear so little, aren't you cold?" ”

Dong Qianmo's lips were pale, but he also replied with a smile: "The first time I blew such a cool mountain breeze, I only felt fresh and refreshing, and I didn't even feel cold, Ah Hee-"

Song turned his head and frowned at his two daughters, "The mountain gate is a quiet place, and we are not here to play this time." Xuanying, you and the Vinaya Master go in and recite the scriptures, I already sent someone to greet her yesterday. Qianmo, since you have a cold, don't go around, go to the room to rest. ”

A nun with a narrow face and extremely high cheekbones came out from inside, and when she heard the words, she answered: "Amitabha, the poor nun is the presiding officer here, Vinaya. The mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are few pilgrims throughout the year, so there are few side rooms, and only three rooms are vacated on the left and right, and the donors may have to squeeze it. ”

This trip, in addition to the three Song mothers and daughters, they also brought five subordinates.

Song and Dong Xuanying brought Mama Ju, Mama Wang and two rough maids, but what Dong Qianmo brought out was not a personal maid May, but a little girl peach branch.

Dong Xuanying glanced at the peach branch and snorted coldly: "Why did the fourth sister bring her out?" ”

Taozhi hid behind Dong Qianmo like a frightened little animal, Dong Qianmo smiled and said: "I'm afraid that she will stay in Fengyuzhai and cause trouble, and it won't be closed or beaten, so I have to take it with me for the time being." ”

"That fourth sister, you have to take a good look at her, I am the most unaccustomed to the sharp-mouthed villain dangling in front of my eyes."

"Second sister, don't worry, she doesn't dare to walk around."

After the spring thunder this year, the building in the east wing of the nunnery half collapsed, leaving only one leaky wing, but there are still three good wings in the west wing.

Dong Xuanying said embarrassedly: "This is not easy to do, I will sleep with my mother, I am afraid that the night piano practice will make my mother rest." My mother and I were in one room, and I was afraid that I would ask for tea and dinner, and no one next door would respond when I wanted to add lamp oil. ”

Dong Qianmo said happily: "This is easy to do, I will go to live in the old house in the east chamber, second sister, you and your mother live in the west chamber, one room per person, and you can leave one room for the grandmother." ”

"How is this good?" Dong Xuanying's willow eyebrows frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "How cold is the leaky room at night." ”

"I'm used to the cold, and I like to sleep with the window open at home. Besides, my mother planned to go up the mountain to make incense, and she had already made arrangements. I wasn't prepared for my part, so who made me want to come along? Dong Qianmo said meaningfully, "It's not good to disturb you and your mother." ”

Song finally decided, "Then stay like this first, Qianmo, you stay overnight and feel cold, come and talk to me, and then find a way." ”

So the burden of money, the Song family went to the west chamber.

Mrs. Lu Nian stepped forward and whispered to Dong Xuanying, "Please ask the second lady to come with the poor nun." Dong Xuanying had a look of understanding for a long time, and Lianbu followed, and followed Master Ri Nian to the Jizo Bodhisattva Hall behind the main hall.

Dong Qianmo looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and after a while, she turned around and smiled at Taozhi, "Let's go, let's go and rest." ”

Taozhi breathed a sigh of relief, patted her little chest and said, "The slave thought that as soon as the second lady saw me, she would immediately drag me out to play the board, but I didn't expect it to be over after saying a few words." Madame almost swallowed the slave maid yesterday, and she didn't even scold today. ”

"You, don't care about your mouth, haven't suffered enough?" Dong Qianmo reproached softly, "An accidental word came into people's ears and caused trouble." ”

"Then miss, you can save me again." Momozhi said coquettishly.

Walking into the wing, the table in the room was overturned, and a wooden bed was empty and simple, but there was a furnace of meditation sandalwood on the windowsill.

Dong Qianmo broke the fire fold, lit a piece of sandalwood, and then said leisurely, "Yesterday's events can only say that you are lucky, and it won't be so smooth sailing again." Even if I have ten hearts that want to save you, I can't match your croaking mouth. ”

"What the slave said was taught by you, Miss."

"I only taught you two or three sentences, and you played twenty or thirty sentences yourself."

"Hehe, but Mrs. and the second lady are so angry that they finally avenge Vanilla."

"Shhhh I'm thirsty, you go to the kitchen. ”

Momoeda grimaced and walked away briskly.

It turned out that after eating bird's nest porridge that night, Dong Xuanying felt uncomfortable on the way back to the room, so she used her long nails to pinch the maid next to her indiscriminately.

Later, Dong Xuanying vomited out the porridge, but she still felt irritable, and from time to time she would take a personal maid to vent her anger, or hit the hand board a few times, or pull out the silver hairpin and poke it twice.

And that maid vanilla, because of her somewhat similar appearance to Peach Branch, the two have long recognized as sisters, often playing in one place, and have a deep relationship.

The scar of the vanilla was seen by Peach Branch, and he was very angry at the moment. But it was all played by the second lady, and no one in this family didn't say that the second miss was good, where can vanilla go to be reasonable?

It happened that during the day, Taozhi was also punished by Princess Yu for slapping herself, and her face was red and bloodshot.

The two maids were sympathetic to each other and wept opposite each other.

At this time, there were two soft knocks on the door, which frightened both of them from crying. This is Taozhi's room, which has been listed as a forbidden place by the fourth lady since the daytime, and the entire Fengyuzhai people are not allowed to come here, and the herbs are also quietly touched in.

Who will knock on the door of the peach branch in the middle of the night?

The knock sounded again, the vanilla hid in the bed tent, Taozhi opened the door tremblingly, and what caught her eye was the smiling eyes of the fourth lady Dong Qianmo.

Dong Qianmo let the herbs not have to hide it, saying that he had seen her shoe prints.

Taozhi looked back, but no, a string of footprints slipped from the ground all the way to the bed, and even the blind could see it.

Vanilla climbed out, held hands with Taozhi, and looked at Dong Qianmo with tears in her eyes. Both of them thought in their hearts, fortunately, Miss Fourth is the most temperamental in the world, so she shouldn't do anything to them.

Unexpectedly, Dong Qianmo's face turned cold, and when he came up, he took a rope to tie the vanilla back, which frightened the vanilla to cry and scream, and fainted within two strokes.

After dealing with the vanilla, Dong Qianmo looked back at the peach branch that was already stunned, and only asked one question-

Want to avenge your sister?

Taozhi saw the strange jumping flames in Dong Qianmo's eyes, and also saw her unshakable determination.

Dong Qianmo is not joking.

The peach branch is not ambiguous, just one word, think!

In fact, this arrangement is also to save Taozhi's life, because Wei Qihua inserted a lot of eyeliner in Dong's mansion, and those people deliberately passed the word to the Song family and Dong Xuanying, telling the story of a fourth lady Dong Qianmo who was jealous of the beauty of the second lady Dong Xuanying, and wanted to compete with Dong Xuanying for King Yu, and scolded the maid Taozhi because of this.

After hearing this, the Song family said at the time that such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning, as long as the old lady is told, the old lady will let the four girls have a long memory, and we don't even need to make a move.

Dong Xuanying said that she is too self-conscious, and she also wants to fight with me? I'm going to ask her personally.

Song stopped and said, No, your father has been paying special attention to the four girls recently. Your father seems to be indifferent to every move we make at home, but he actually knows everything. Let the old lady punish her, so that your father can't find anything.

Dong Xuanying said angrily, but the penalty is too cheap for the four girls, and she even caused me to drink the bowl of things that are not drunk by people.

Song said, don't worry, since the four girls beat the peach branch, let's add fire to her, so that the peach branch will "kill herself" because of the beating, and this account will all be recorded on the four girls.

The mother and daughter of the Song family were talking privately in the house, and the herbs under the window outside could be heard clearly, and they turned around to look for the peach branch.

Taozhi repeated it to Dong Qianmo word for word, so the show appeared.

On the morning of the third day, the firewood room caught fire, and Momozhi pretended to faint and was thrown into the firewood room. There is an unobtrusive back door in the firewood room, and the peach branch enters with the front foot and the back foot exits.

When the fire weakened, the blackened vanilla took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention, covered their mouth and nose with wet handkerchiefs, and got into the fire.

After that, it came naturally.

Taozhi told the second lady who had seen it before about giving Yu Wang a mandarin duck fan cover and reciting love poems in public, which made Dong Xuanying lose face.

It is indeed a good show, but Dong Qianmo's drama is slightly different from Song's arrangement.

And after such a fuss, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Dong Mansion doesn't recognize the peach branch, and the Song family wants to move the peach branch again, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are watching from behind, the Song family will not lose their identity and lose their reputation for a little girl. So Momozhi's fate was temporarily saved.

In fact, behind the whole thing is pushed by an invisible hand, that is, Princess Yu Wei Qihua.

Just for Taozhi's sentence, "If I can be half as good-looking as the second young lady, let His Royal Highness King Yu look at me more, even if it is worth dying." ”

After Wei Qihua heard this that day, she really planned to kill the peach branch, and slapping her at the gate of Fengyuzhai was just the first move, and then there were endless moves.

The most terrifying thing is that Wei Qihua is thoughtful, every word and deed of everyone in the Dong Mansion, what they think, and what tricks they want to make, Wei Qihua knows all about it. So she used all these knives to kill people and sow discord.

Every chess piece that Wei Qihua wanted to fiddle with, none of them could escape from those jade hands, and Dong Qianmo was the first.

Every ant that Wei Qihua wants to step on to death has never been able to save his life, and Taozhi is also the first.

Dong Qianmo's master and servant were the first mistakes in Wei Qihua's life, because Dong Qianmo was Wei Qihua's unexpected opponent.

********

"Miss, the water is coming."

Taozhi walked in with a tea tray, frowned, and said very worriedly, "There is a vendor outside our East Wing Gate, and I have to sell things to Miss, what if I can't get rid of it?" ”

"Hawkers? Running to the nunnery on the top of the hill to peddle? Dong Qianmo raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, I said we don't have any money to buy, and if we want to sell it, we will go to the West Chamber to solicit business, but he still won't leave," Momozhi asked nervously, "Isn't he a bad guy?" Would you like to tell Madame and ask her to send a grandmother to guard the door for us? ”

"What's that peddler?" Dong Qianmo asked.

Momozhi was about to answer, but she heard a voice from outside and answered her words, "Girl, there is a rare thing for you to see, I promise you have never seen it before!" ”
