Mama Song carefully looked at the change of Sanniang's expression, and smiled again: "You have been clever since you were a child, but because you are young and vigorous, you don't accept Wuniang, but according to the old slave, it is not necessary to be competitive in the boudoir. ”

Sanniang was heartbroken, but after thinking about it carefully, she was a little frustrated: "The fifth sister is protected by her grandmother, and she is a grandmother, how can I get past her?" ”

The feelings themselves said such things, and she still thought about comparing with Wu Niang? Mama Song somewhat hated that iron could not become steel, and shook her head: "Sometimes, whether this life is good or not, but it is not just about the surface, not to mention the distance, it depends on the Duchess of the country...... Back then, Mrs. Jianning Houfu was reluctant to let her daughter be her stepdaughter, so it was the turn of the concubine of the Duchess of the State, but now look, how noble is the Duchess of the State in the Guogong Mansion? Who would dare to talk about their concubines? And the sister-in-law of the former lady, who was the master of Mrs. Houfu back then, married to a prestigious family, but what about now? What kind of life did she live? I heard that her mother-in-law is not easy to get along, and now she is sick in bed, and she is taken care of in front of the bed, and she keeps stuffing concubines next to her son. ”

Jianning Houfu this aunt, married is the eldest son of Mrs. Long, the Long family is a family of the former dynasty, and Houfu is also a good match, it is said that the uncle was quite talented when he was young, and he was born in the wind of Yushu, Mrs. Houfu talked about this marriage, and once came to show off in front of her grandmother, but she didn't want her aunt to meet a powerful mother-in-law, but for two years, she accepted her niece as a concubine for her uncle, and let this concubine give birth to the eldest son, and also pinched the right to feed, so that the aunt's daughter-in-law became a decoration.

Mrs. Houfu felt sorry for her daughter, and she also had plans to support her, but in the end, she was the daughter who got married, and besides, the Long family was not a poor family that was afraid of the powerful......

Later, Mrs. Long passed away, and his uncle was released to Zuohai as the prefect, and the Houfu was even more out of reach.

Now who says that my aunt's concubine is better off than my mother's concubine?

Thinking of this, Sanniang stopped crying unconsciously, a pair of slender eyes that were very similar to Aunt Cui, already with a little charm, flashed with brilliance, and she was so excited that she grabbed Mama Song's hand: "Mama's hard work, the little girl remembers it in her heart!" ”

Mama Song was satisfied, patted Sanniang's hand, took out her hand, took out the bag from her arms, and handed it to her: "Sanniang is in a hurry, I think there will be negligence in the grandmother around me, I haven't prepared these broken silver for you, right?" ”

Sanniang didn't know why: "It's not that the nunnery is bitter, and the Jingping nun is also very strict...... "Could it be that a few pieces of broken silver can make the legendary iron-faced and selfless nun......

Mama Song shook her head: "Thanks to the Duchess of the Kingdom for being careful, thinking of this, let the old slave transfer this to you." ”

"It's the mother'......," Sanniang said in a daze.

"Although the Jingping nun is strict, but the little masters below are not all like this, Sanniang left these on her body, so that she could help them with some of them, and let them do the rough work of carrying water and chopping wood...... It's just that don't be too conspicuous, Sanniang has to do the work she can, and she can't play tricks in front of the Jingping nuns, you must know that although the grandfather of the country is limited to half a month, if Sanniang makes a mistake again......"

Sanniang's face turned pale: "Seeing that my grandmother's birthday is approaching, I won't let me ...... in the nunnery."

"If you really know your mistakes, and there is a duchess begging for mercy in front of the princess, you won't, but if you make trouble again, wait for the princess's birthday to pass...... There are a lot of Zhuangzi under the name of the Guogong Mansion, where can't you meditate? Mama Song was alarmist.

Sanniang's little face was pale with fright, and she hurriedly took the silver, and she was grateful, and Mama Song naturally put all the credit on the Huang family, and praised the Duchess of Guo as a model of mother-in-law along the way.

When I returned to the house, I went to Herui Garden to see the Huang family in person: "Mrs. is relieved, according to the old slave, Sanniang is truly repentant, and when she learned of Mrs.'s hard work, she specially prepared broken silver for her, and she was even more grateful, only thinking of Mrs.'s kindness, and there will be no complaints." ”

Huang didn't know why, stared at Mama Song for a long time, saw that she was just smiling, with a respectful attitude, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on with the silver, and secretly thought that this old mama had really cultivated into a fine cultivation, and he didn't say anything, but smiled: "Mama has worked hard...... I thought about it for a while, Luo family's better go to the bottom of the Zhuangzi to stay for a while, wait for a year and a half, and then transfer her back, seeing that Liuniang and Banniang are also older, and when they are busy with this period, they will score the yard, Banniang has Aunt Zhang to worry about, I can't care about it, but there is still a lack of an old and serious housekeeper in the courtyard of Liuniang. ”

Of course, Mama Song couldn't help but be overjoyed, said goodbye with a thousand thanks, and went to the eldest princess to resume her life, and talked with her for a while, until she returned to her private house in the evening.

After dinner, Gong Liu's family really came to the door with a large box of small boxes of "Tuyi", and after a few cold words, he said that the hairpin was lost in the yard of the eldest lady, and pleaded for his daughter: "Yuzhi was worried about an accident, but she persuaded the eldest lady, the eldest lady was filial, worried about causing trouble to the Duchess of the country, and said that she wanted to hide it for a period of time...... If the thief's hoof, who does not know death, gives it back, but if the future ...... In case this thing falls into the hands of outsiders...... It's engraved with the name of the big lady! ”

Looking at Mama Song's expression, Gong Liujia said cautiously: "My Yuzhi has to be carried by Mama to wait by the eldest mother, but I am usually cautious, for fear of making a mistake and losing my grandmother's face...... But this time, I really can't complain about her. ”

When Mama Song heard this, she immediately understood the intention of Gong Liu's family, and waved her hand: "I know about this matter, Yuzhi did the right thing, since the eldest lady doesn't want to make a noise, she can't tell the Duchess in private, you let her relax, since I know about this matter, I won't stand idly by, let her be careful on an errand." ”

With Mama Song's permission, Gong Liu's family was completely relieved and left happily.

Mama Song turned her head and told her adopted son about it: "It is not difficult for this thief to find out, it must be a cheap maid who was greedy for money for a while and stole the hairpin of the eldest lady, she naturally did not dare to show it off, maybe she had already entered the pawnshop...... You go and find it, if you can find the thief, it is best, if there is no trace, redeem the hairpin first, and bring it back to me. ”

Song Hui frowned and said, "Why bother with so many things, don't you just tell the Duchess of the Kingdom?" ”

"I naturally have my own intentions." Mama Song waved her hand: "Remember not to make a noise first, just inquire secretly." ”

According to Mama Song's calculations, if she told the Huang family about it at this time, it would be difficult to explain how she learned about it, not only would she give the Huang family the impression that her hand was stretched too long, but she didn't find the thief, and she didn't find the hairpin, which is really not a credit, only the hairpin was found first, and it can be said that she found it in the pawnshop by accident, which will not make the Huang family suspicious, but also sell it well in front of her.

It is necessary to know that the personal belongings of this boudoir lady can be regarded as an extremely serious matter in the market, if it really causes any turmoil, I am afraid that the princess will also blame the Huang family for negligence, and let a disaster become invisible, so as not to be blamed by the Huang family, which can be regarded as a great achievement.

After all, the eldest princess is over half a hundred years old, and in the future, in this country's mansion, she will have to look at the Huang family, and Wu Niang has a lot of respect for this mother-in-law.

Mama Song became more and more firm in her belief that she should firmly cling to the mountain of the Duchess of the Kingdom.

———————————————————————————————————————

And said that the sound of the warbler, that day was publicly punished, the heart was unconvinced, only looking forward to the spring twilight to marry soon, the red rain topped her lack of children, and then a few words for herself, back to the past majestic days, I don't want the stars and the moon to look forward to a number of days, and I haven't heard of the rumors of the spring twilight to marry, I have the heart to find a few good inquirement, I don't want those people to treat themselves as a flood beast, avoid it, the warbler is half angry, grinding his teeth in the intestines to hate these high and low hooves, and hate the cherries that lead him to be punished, But because he didn't know what was going on, he had to swallow his anger.

When the laundry came to the tenth day, she finally couldn't help it, this day Wu Niang went to Fufeng Hall to listen to the lecture, she hurriedly finished the work in hand, and stole out of the green garden, planning to find the pine garden where the deceased son lived to find Hongyu to find an accurate word.

The sound of the warbler was the first to come back, the little girl on the door looked at her, asked a few words, I heard that it was the maid of the green garden who let her in, and pointed to the road of the prince's study: "The girl followed the path on the right, went forward to the back/courtyard, and then followed the bluestone paved road forward, you will see a gentle slope, along the steps, a row of bamboo houses in the pine forest is the study of the son." ”

The sound of the warbler stabilized the mind, and then entered the weeping flower gate, all the way to look at the facilities and plants in the yard, and counted the words in my heart again, and walked along the bluestone road with half a cup of tea, only to see the gentle slope, it is really planted all over the pine shoot, no wonder this yard is named Songtao Garden.

After walking along the stairs for a while, there were still a hundred steps away from the study, and suddenly heard the man's clear laughter: "Admire and admire, my brother is really a talented man in Mingshan Library, and Jing Gan bows down." ”

The warbler was frightened, and subconsciously hid in the pine forest beside the road, through Ke Ye, and followed the reputation.

But I saw a red pavilion ten steps away on the right, and there were two men sitting in it, who seemed to be playing chess, and the warbler in a light blue robe was recognized, it was the prince of Weiguo.

The prince often comes to Luqing Garden, but the sound of the warbler has no chance to wait closely. He talked with Wu Niang and the two brothers and sisters, and there were a few personal maids left by him, even if she was asked to serve tea and water, and serve fruits and cakes, they were all sent outside the house, and then taken inside by the spring twilight or autumn moon and autumn frost, but it was not far away, and the handsome and chic demeanor of the prince Yushu could also make the warbler sound in a trance, not to mention a pair of warm and bright eyes...... Enough to make her blush and heartbeat.

Just like now, obviously there are still more than ten steps apart, and she already feels that her heart is pounding, as if the person who plays chess with Shizi is actually her.

The man opposite the prince was dressed in a white robe, with high black hair, but he did not tie it into a bun, fluttering lightly in the summer breeze, although he was facing back, he couldn't see his face, but his posture was upright, his shoulders were straight, and he was a little thin, like the green bamboo in the green garden. guessing with the sound of the warbler, I am afraid that he is also a noble son with good looks and a famous family.

It seemed that he heard a low chuckle from the man in white: "Accept." ”

It's very simple, and there is no mud and water.

"The three rounds have passed, and the fun is already over, the foolish brother still has to visit Senior Brother Wei, and he will learn from Brother Jing another day."

"Brother, do you know that Mr. Wei lives behind Muhui Building?"

"I visited three years ago, so I'm familiar with it." The white-robed man arched his hand: "Brother Jing doesn't need to be polite, please stay." ”

Seeing the man turn around, and then glanced at the man's face, Yingsheng's cheeks were even more as if they were burned red, and even his eyes were confused, and he was stunned to realize that the two had come out of the pavilion, and they were busy hiding until they saw the white-robed man go away, and the prince of Weiguo turned back before he came out, and walked up the path in despair.

When standing outside the door of the study, the mind of the warbler was still floating in the air, until he heard the sound of red rain—

"Sister Yingsheng, why are you here!"

Hongyu stood under the eaves, holding a few books in his hands, his face unabashedly surprised.

Yingsheng bit his lip before squeezing out a proper smile.

Hongyu hurriedly walked down the stone steps, pulling the sound of the warbler to avoid the pine forest: "The prince is resting today, and he has just entered the study, and my sister is talking to me a few steps away." ”

When the two arrived at the room where the maids lived, the sound of the warbler really returned to his senses, and when he wanted to ask who the man in the white robe was, when the words came to his mouth, he felt that his cheeks were hot, for fear of arousing Hongyu's suspicions, so he couldn't help it, untied a sachet from his waist, and handed it to Hongyu: "I ate so much delicious food for my sister that day, and you were so tired that you were swept by the little hooves of the cherry, I was very sorry not to go, and there was nothing I could get my hands on, this sachet was newly made by myself, and it was dried jasmine." ”

"Sister is really polite." Hongyu took the sachet and wanted to put it away, but she took it back halfway and tied it to her waist: "My female red is the most stupid, and my sister's gift is exactly what I want." ”

Yingsheng patiently gossiped a few words, and then said the main topic: "Since I heard that you are going to Luqing Garden last time, I have been looking forward to that day in my heart, who made my sister so clever and cute, but taught me to think about it, what did Mama say, but I asked Mrs. Tai's permission?" ”

Hongyu knew that something had changed at this time, and her grandmother told her not to act rashly recently, and she was disappointed, and after listening to Yingsheng's question, her smile was a little reluctant: "Sister doesn't know, Chundui refused to marry far from her family, and she was reluctant to marry Wu Niang...... The maids in the yard of the ladies have a share, and it seems that I don't have this blessing. ”

"What?!" The words that were thinking about it were all useless, and the warbler was out of shape for a while, and he came to his senses for a while, and explained with a red face: "It's really disappointing, I can't think of such a good family affair, and Chun Du actually refused." ”

"Everyone has their own ambitions, and she thinks it's more promising to stay with the fifth lady." Hongyu was a little excited, and lowered his head to play with the newly acquired sachet just now.

"Wu Niang does trust Chundui." The indescribable frustration in her heart, the warbler couldn't help but complain a little about the red rain, this eight characters have not been a word, but she is publicizing it everywhere, making herself believe it, and offending the spring twilight with her brain...... In the future, how should I live in the Green Garden?!

After thinking about it carefully, she decided to tie up the red rain, and when she couldn't stay any longer, she begged Mama Song to transfer herself out of Luqing Garden, if she could come to Songtao Garden...... It's a good thing that I dreamed of.

Going around in his head, he grabbed Hongyu's hand: "It's not a secret, I went to the lotus pond with my sister to gossip that day, but I was listened to by Wu Niang and Chundu, and when I turned around, I said that I was lazy, and punished me severely, and a month's monthly money is nothing, but I stopped my original errand and went to wash the clothes of the maids......"

Hongyu exclaimed: "Really? Isn't the fifth lady the widest and sparse? This time you were so strict with your sister? ”

"Isn't it...... It's okay if my sister doesn't come to Luqing Garden, it's better to stay in the courtyard of the prince, I heard that the prince is the most generous, and he usually has a lot of rewards. Yingsheng looked at the red rain pitifully: "Even I want to come and be with my sister." ”

Where did Yingsheng expect that she wanted to pick Gao Zhi'er to plan for the future, and in a blink of an eye, someone told Yijing about her whereabouts.

Shen Zheng left school, Yijing and his sisters made speeches, and were about to go to Muhui Building to pick out a few books, and Qiuyue attached it to his ears and reported the whereabouts of the warbler.

"She finally couldn't sit still this time, she must have gone to Songtao Garden to find the red rain, the slave maid listened to the bell said, after the warbler came back, she sat in the yard and was silent, lost her soul, even the lotus leaf sarcastically mocked her a few words, and she didn't reply for the first time, but the bell couldn't follow her into the Songtao Garden, I don't know what she muttered to the red rain." Qiu Yue felt very sorry.

Yijing thought for a while: "I'm afraid that she won't be able to sit still when she sees that Chun Du is not married, and she will be disappointed after probing Hongyu's tone." Then he asked Qiuyue: "In that May, did you ever get along with the sound of the warbler?" ”

Qiuyue pouted: "I said a word to May that day, and she talked to the warbler that night, and the two almost didn't hug their heads and cry, and then the warbler was ruthless, and said to May, but it was just temporary patience, and when the red rain entered the green garden, she would have the day to turn over, and then she would teach the cherries to look good." ”

It's really a dream, even if Hongyu can enter Luqing Garden, but he is also a slave, can he still call the wind and rain? When Qiu Yue heard this, she almost fell to the ground without laughing.

"Let May often comfort her, especially after the warbler and the red rain meet." Yi Jing smiled.

Qiu Yue responded crisply, gritted her teeth and said: "The sound of the warbler will not stop, it is better to go back to the Duchess of the Kingdom and simply leave her clean." ”

Yijing shook his head: "But I just went to Songtao Garden, and I didn't violate the rules I set, so I can't stand up to sending her out, you still stare at her, see what tricks she wants to play." ”

While talking, the master and servant walked along the waterside plank road of the mirror pool, and walked slowly for a quarter of an hour before arriving outside Muhui Tower.

Yijing tilted his cheeks slightly, looking at the five-story pavilion standing quietly by the water, the eaves and vermilion tiles were plated with a layer of brilliant golden light, bright and dazzling.

She couldn't see clearly, the man standing silently in the window on the top floor, facing the sun, his eyes were deep, looking down condescendingly, and she was approaching.
