The beautiful scenery is in the outer room on the left side of the hall, watching the spring twilight killing chickens and monkeys from the gap in the Xuan window, while secretly applauding her in her heart, and feeling more and more sorry for the experience of the spring twilight in her previous life, while looking at the arrogance of the warbler, she can't help sneering in her heart - it seems that she only thinks that with Mama Song as a backer, she can do whatever she wants - but it was true in her previous life, thinking that this maid later went to the palace of the king of Chu, and did not do anything less according to the instructions of Dongyu and Mama Song in private.

It's a shame that I have always thought that she is a lovely person, and I am thinking about finding a solid family to marry for her, but I really have my eyes in my armpits.

Suddenly, seeing the warbler going crazy, she pounced on the cherry, Yijing was startled, but she saw that the cherry didn't care, she stretched out her arm and twisted the warbler's hand, pursed her lips and didn't speak, and a pair of sharp eyes only stared at the warbler with disdain.

This girl really has a bit of momentum, if her mind is pure, she will be reused in the future, Yijing thought silently.

But said that in the spring twilight, seeing the sound of the warbler was still unrepentant, the anger that had just calmed down came up again: "Okay, good, what a domineering person......" But he couldn't scold anything anymore, only called a few second-class maids to pull the warbler away, and said to another maid: "I went to pay to the Duchess of the country, and then invited Mama Yang to come, saying that there is a slave in our courtyard who disobeys discipline, and let Mama be the master and send her down, whether it is thrown out or dragged to play the board, but it is treated by Mama." ”

These words made Yingsheng completely sober, and secretly screamed badly, this Hongyu has not been transferred to Luqing Garden, but she can't be maintained, if she is kicked out like this, and she is not beaten by Lao Ziniang, she is also dizzy...... I couldn't care about the cherry anymore, I let out another dry howl, threw myself on the ground, hugged Chundui's legs and cried: "Sister Chundui, I was stunned by anger, it's not that I am dissatisfied, you have a lot of adults, just spare me this time, don't dare in the future, if I really give the Duchess of Guo and kick me out, where is there still a way to live, for the sake of our love for many years......"

Yijing looked at it in the window and shook her head, and said in her heart that this is really able to bend and stretch and act, it's a pity to be a maid, it seems that Chun Du has to soften again.

At this time, Xia Yun also persuaded: "Sister, just spare her, it's not a big mistake, you have always been a lenient ...... If you get rid of her because of this trivial matter, it is difficult to guarantee that others will not talk about Wu Niang's harshness. ”

Yi Jing looked at Xia Yun's docile and honest "good person" appearance from a distance, and the sneer on the corner of her lips gradually increased, she was used to knowing that Xia Yun was a person who didn't care about things, why did she just ask for love for Yingsheng? also pulled her master into the water, could it be that at this time she already had an outside heart, and regarded Mama Song as the future master, and when she heard that the warbler and the red rain were better, she couldn't help but intercede for the people in the same camp?

Knowing the face but not the heart, this is really a wise saying.

Chun Du was a little soft-hearted, but after listening to Xia Yun's words, she felt choked again, thinking that it was no wonder that Wu Niang had become estranged to Xia Yun recently, and today she said that she should also be punished, and she didn't know it yet, so it turned out that this maid really had an outside heart, a slave maid, and dared to use Wu Niang's reputation to excuse others......

But without waiting for Chun Du to respond, Qiu Yue, who came back from outside the courtyard, just heard this, although she didn't know what the fanfare scene in front of her was like that, she immediately stepped on a sturdy step, and glared at Xia Yun with apricot eyes: "Sister, what kind of nonsense are you talking about?" A slave who does not obey discipline should be thrown out according to the rules of the government, where can it be said that Wu Niang is harsh? Is it to tolerate the lawlessness of these disobedient slaves to be tolerant and generous, and if so, where are the rules of the Guogong Mansion? Or does my sister think that the rules in the house are too strict? ”

Xia Yun was flustered when he said this, and waved his hand again and again: "Where do I mean this, but I am just thinking about Wu Niang's reputation." ”

"If you really think about Wu Niang, you shouldn't say this, even if you hear others talking like this, you should also throw it over!" Qiu Yue crossed Xiaoman's waist with both hands, the expression on her little face was very firm, and her righteous words made the beautiful scenery who was watching the play on the side feel very pleased - what a girl! really has the demeanor of Mama Yang.

Xia Yun took a step back and hung his head weakly.

The warbler saw that the situation was not right, and secretly scolded Xia Yun for being too suspicious, and with a bite of his silver teeth, he tore off all his face and threw it into the gutter first - the most important thing now is to stay in the Green Qing Garden, no matter what, he has to wait for the spring dusk to go out, the red rain to come in, and then report today's humiliation.

raised his hand and slapped him in the face, crying and begging: "Sister Chundui, I really know that I am wrong, no matter how I punish it, I am convinced, just ask my sister to forgive me once, don't tell the Duchess...... In the future, even if I am a cow and a horse, I only remember my sister's good ...... today."

Chun Du saw that she slapped her hard, and the choking in her chest subsided, so she gave up, let her get up, and said to Xia Yun: "I went out with Wu Niang today, and told you to keep an eye on the maids in the yard, Yingsheng should have been on duty but went to chat with others, only Cherry was busy before and after, didn't you see it?" ”

Xia Yun was stunned for a moment, and secretly complained in his heart, when Hongyu came in today, he first gave himself a box of date cakes, and then shouted Yingsheng and a few second-class maids to go to the Lotus Pond Pavilion to talk, Hongyu is the granddaughter of Mama Song, and the maid of the prince, she usually loves to come to Luqingyuan, where is she good to stop, thinking that there are cherries to clean in the house, and Wu Niang and Chundui are not there......

Hurriedly laughed: "I was negligent." ”

"Yingsheng should be punished for being lazy, you should be punished for negligence and mismanagement, and you should also be punished for a month's money, can you be convinced?"

After eating Qiuyue's meal, Xia Yun dared to disagree, and quickly admitted it, but her heart was sour and astringent, it turned out that she had also heard about Chundu's family, and half of her heart was worried about her future, and half of her heart was also very jealous.

She is different from the children of the family, just a maid bought outside, in order to treat her younger brother, her father and mother in order to treat her brother, she was almost sold to a brothel, but it happened that the government wanted to buy a few maids, and the money was more than the brothel, and the man Yazi recommended her to ...... Later, I heard that my younger brother was still dead, and my father and mother couldn't stay in Jinyang, and I don't know where they went.

She was just a third-class maid at first, and she relied on her honesty and hard work to get into the eldest princess's blue eyes, and was promoted to the second class, so that she followed Wu Niang, and later Wu Niang had her own yard, and she was promoted to the first class.

Although the first-class maid said that the work is light and economical, it is also decent, but because there is no family to rely on, Xia Yun has to worry about the future by herself, first, she is not as cautious and capable as the spring dusk, and secondly, she is not as clever as Qiuyue Qiushuang, Wu Niang is not close to her, she really can't learn to flatter the master, thinking that in the future, when Wu Niang comes out of the cabinet, she will definitely follow the marriage to other houses, if Wu Niang is not happy, she is not willing to have a room, concubine room, she is not willing to be in charge.

The steward said that she was a domestic slave, and her children would still not be able to get rid of slavery in the future.

Therefore, as soon as she heard Hongyu say that Chun Du was going to marry the children of the eunuchs, Xia Yun turned red and realized the importance of Mama Song, if she could please her...... Mama Song won't have only one nephew, right...... Even if she went to be a concubine for those people, she was willing, after all, the future children were no longer slaves.

In such a situation, where did she dare to offend Hongyu? I even wish to enshrine these two ancestors.

How can a maid like Chun Du know her suffering, Xia Yun thought sourly, but honestly admitted the punishment, and did not dare to complain half a word.

A killing of chickens and monkeys, the slaves and maids in the courtyard were frightened, listening to Chundui say a loose word, I couldn't wait to run away, sweep the yard of the yard, repair the flowers and plants, and those who were waiting in the porch did not dare to turn their heads and ears again, only the cherry did not change her expression, and still went to the house to be on duty.

Chun Du went to comfort the beaten little girl bell again, and then returned to Yijing with Qiu Shuang, and just happened to hear the news that Qiu Yue was inquiring about in Huiyu -

"It really made a fuss, I heard that the servant lived in Qingpingfang, it was the two houses placed by the general of Zhenguo, the general's wife took a group of people to the door this morning, and almost did not burn the place, and someone beat the servant, as if he also moved his hand at the little lady, and the general of Zhenguo was angered at this time, and when he came back, he looked for the bad luck of the general's wife, I don't know if it really did move on the lady, but the lady did go back to the Zhenguo Mansion, and the old princess could not be persuaded."

Yijing felt surprised in her heart, I don't know where this servant and illegitimate daughter came from, could it be that because of his rebirth, a series of things have quietly changed? But what is the connection between his own rebirth and General Zhenguo's external room outside? I couldn't figure out the connection for a while, so I simply put it aside for the time being, and asked Qiuyue and Qiushuang: "Do you think I'm too harsh today?" ”

"What is this, I want the slave maid to think that Wu Niang should have cleaned up these slaves a long time ago, she is used to sneaking and playing tricks, and she likes to discuss right and wrong in private, especially the warbler, the most tricky and domineering, ten little maids in the yard, who sees her is not frightened, if grandmother is still in charge of the affairs of Luqingyuan now, she would have been sent away." Qiu Yue is still straightforward.

Qiushuang looked at Chun Du worriedly, and said with a wry smile: "Sister, don't blame, Qiu Yue is used to being like this, and she doesn't know how to think about it." ”

Qiu Yue came to her senses and smiled to pull Chun Dui's hand: "It's not my sister's fault, my sister has always been kind and soft-hearted, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't be able to be naughty with Qiu Shuang." ”

Chun Twilight smiled: "It was originally mine, it shouldn't be soft-hearted, you're right." ”

Yijing asked the maids again: "Do you think the sound of the warbler is really convincing?" ”

This time, it was Qiushuang who spoke out first: "It's inevitable to complain in her heart, but how dare she do, it's her fault today." Qiu Yue nodded frequently, only Chun Du was older, and thought about it thoroughly: "From the perspective of the slave maid, she is only afraid of pretending, but if she insists on sending her today, it will be a bit of a fuss." ”

Yi Jingshen thought so: "That's right, if you want to set rules for the maids, you have to follow the regulations, you can't punish people for no reason, and you have to have rules to follow." ”

"Wu Niang rest assured, these days the slave maid will keep an eye on the sound of the warbler, if she really repents and everything is fine, if there is any more moth...... That's self-defeating. Qiu Yue immediately asked for help.

Yijing was very approving: "Then you have to stare without blinking, from now on." Qiushuang follow me to Songtao Garden, since Brother Zhou is resting today, I don't need to go to Guozijian if I want to come to the big brother today. ”

Chun Dusk knew that Wu Niang was for her own business, and she was full of gratitude to see her all the way behind.

Su Xun is fifteen, naturally will not live in the inner courtyard, Songtao Garden is located in the east road of Guogongfu, in addition to passing through the second gate to take the sandwich road, through the plum blossom forest around the mirror pool, you can also reach from the corner gate on the east side of the Muhui Building.

It has been gloomy for a long time, and today the sun is finally shining, and the beautiful scenery is sitting on the shoulders and - Lvqing Yuan is some distance from Songtao Garden, she has been bumpy on horseback twice this morning, and she is already tired, and then when she sees Yu Zhou, hatred awakens her stubbornness in her bones, and she only feels that fatigue is gone, but this time she is relieved, and she feels that her knees are so sore that it is almost not her own flesh and blood, and she takes a step like stepping on cotton, for the sake of herself and the autumn frost around her, she still let the two mothers-in-law raise their shoulders and.

Along the way, but see the grass and trees, Qionghua like snow, blowing in the breeze, dark fragrance and fragrant, the back is a blue sky, the clouds are like floating flocculents, moving slowly and slowly, gathering and dividing, which is refreshing and pleasant...... A beautiful and warm season can make people forget hatred for a while.

Yijing smiled, allowing herself to think about nothing during this journey.

The mother-in-law who raised his shoulders was well-trained, and he walked fast and steadily, but it didn't take long to get to the front of Songtao Garden.

Su Xun was working hard in the study, and when she heard that the fifth sister was coming, she hurriedly greeted her.

In the bright sunshine, the young man with the bundle of hair was dressed in a green shirt, the dragon strode forward, the sword eyebrows flew obliquely, the corners of his lips were warm, and the slightly honey-colored skin glowed with the brilliance of the golden year, which was not inferior to the sunshine.

Memories swirled, and Yi Jing remembered that the last time she saw her eldest brother in that life, she had become a lifeless corpse, lying stiffly on the bamboo couch, her face was pale and dark, her eyes were slightly open, but there was a desperate silence and ashes in her eyes, so that she instantly suspected that this corpse was not the brother of her mother's compatriots, but a stranger.

Yi Jing raised her eyes slightly, quickly calmed down the tears that couldn't help but rise, and greeted Su Xun with a smile.

The relationship between the brother and sister was already very good, so they saved a lot of gossip, sat down across the ebony case, and Yijing said what he meant.

"Thinking that my brother may have a classmate who is from Ninghai, I wonder if I can inquire?" Yijing was a little anxious, mostly because she was curious and wanted to know what kind of nephew Mama Song had.

"That's right for you to ask me." Su Xun said with a smile: "You don't need to ask your classmates, there is a fake Ninghai person in our house." ”

Yi Jing was slightly puzzled, in fact, Emperor Gaozu and his grandfather's ancestral home were all in Ninghai, and there were naturally people from Ninghai in the Guogong Mansion, but most of them had taken root in Jinyang and had not gone back for decades, where would they know Mama Song's nephew.

"It's a staff member who came to seek refuge with my father some time ago, from Ninghai, and a protégé personally taught by Mr. Ding of Songhe Academy." Su Xun explained.

Yijing's heart moved: "Does my brother know his name?" ”

"Of course I know, it's called Li Jihe." He asked again: "What does the fifth sister mean by asking this?" ”

Yi Jing muttered this name in his heart, but his mouth was perfunctory: "I have heard that the Southern Ding and Northern Wei Dynasty are the two great Confucians of the same name in the Dalong Dynasty, and I heard that the protégé of Songhe Academy came to the house, and I was a little curious for a while. ”

In fact, Li Jihe was a name, she had heard it in her previous life, and she still remembered that it was the autumn of the first year of marrying into the Chu Palace, and the weak prince was holding on to her sick body, and accompanied her who was depressed and puzzled to sit and enjoy a red maple in Guan Sui Garden, and coldly mentioned Li Jihe, and asked her if she had heard of this person in the Weiguo Mansion, she was not upset, just shook her head, and casually asked who Li Jihe was.

Shizi said that this person was originally a staff member in the Weiguo Mansion, a person from Ninghai, and was a proud protégé of Ding Changsu, a famous generation of Confucianism, and later Wei Guogong recommended this person to the King of Chu.

Back then, she wouldn't take these little things to heart, and she turned around and left them behind.

But now that I want to come......

Why did a staff member inquire about Mama Song, the only connection between the two of them was that they were both from Ninghai, could it be an old acquaintance?

"That's a coincidence." Yi Jing said with a smile: "Why didn't my brother invite Mr. Li to come, and ask by the way, maybe he would know the situation of Song Baihu's family." ”

Su Xun saw that her sister was anxious, and only said that she cared about Chundu, and couldn't help but sigh: "My sister has really grown up, and she knows how to care about the people around her." So he called a maid in and told her to let the little maid go to the front yard and invite Li Jihe to come over.

When a man dressed in a light gray fine silk robe with large sleeves, a long body and beautiful eyebrows appeared in front of Yi Jing, she immediately denied the idea just now, this man is only twenty-six or seven years old, and Mama Song has been away from Ninghai for more than forty years, how can it be an old acquaintance? But I couldn't help but feel even more puzzled in my heart, I don't know why this man cares about Mama Song's affairs.

Li Jihe only thought that the prince invited him to come, but it was just a book or a game, but he didn't want to see a little lady, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, so he looked at it twice, and happened to meet Yijing's gaze.

What a beautiful little lady! Especially those black eyes, clear and bright, like a secluded pool of water, can flow straight from people's eyes to the heart.

I listened to Su Xun's introduction: "Mr. Li, this is my fifth sister." ”

It turned out to be the daughter of the Guogong Mansion, Li Jihe smiled slightly, and shook it shallowly.

"No need to be polite, sir." Yi Jing hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and looked at the man carefully, very surprised.

It's obviously the first time I've seen him, but why do I think this person is a little familiar?

When Yijing was stunned, Su Xun had already told what she had invited, and Yijing's gaze never left the man's face from beginning to end, so she clearly saw that Li Ji and the coldness that flew through her eyes quickly when she heard the three words of Mama Song!

Like a shooting star, fleeting.

This person must have had an end with Mama Song! Yijing thought excitedly.

But I heard Li Jihe say: "Song Baihu has five sons, two sons and three concubines, the eldest son is already married, the other three sons are still young, and the eldest is only twelve, only the second son is twenty and two this year, and he is not yet married, and the person who wants to inquire about the next son is him." ”

The children of the official eunuchs of the Dalong Dynasty are also married at the age of seventeen or eighteen at the latest, and these twenty-two years old are still singles, and most of them are a little strange. Therefore, Li Jihe said a word, and the two siblings Su Xun and Yijing subconsciously frowned.

It is not surprising that the prince of Weiguo has this reaction, but a cardamom girl can be so keen, and she can't help but teach Li Ji and surprise, so he looked at Yijing again before he said: "The second son of Song is notorious in Ninghai, whether it is a noble official or a common person, everyone knows it. ”

Sure enough, as expected.

"Sir, can you tell me more carefully?" Yi Jing asked.

Li Jihe said bluntly: "Song Er is the son of an official eunuch, he is arrogant, he likes to fight and make trouble when he is young, bullying the weak, he has long been notorious in Ninghai, and it has been even worse over the years. ”

These words were somewhat inappropriate to say in front of the woman in the boudoir, so Su Xun was a little embarrassed, but Li Jihe saw that Yijing was still calm, and secretly wondered in his heart, but he heard the little lady suddenly ask: "Mr. knows Mama Song?" ”

Li Jihe was stunned, and hurriedly shook his head: "I don't know Mama Song below." ”

"Then why did my brother mention Mama Song's nephew just now, and Mr. knew that he was the son of a hundred households?" The scenery is full of curiosity.

What a powerful little lady! Li Jihe's heart was shocked, but he still smiled, and said lightly: "It's really this Song Er who has done a lot of evil, and he is called Mama Song, saying that his aunt and grandmother are the first powerful person around the eldest prince. ”

A son of a hundred households is nothing, and only the solid backer of the eldest princess is enough for him to have the courage to do whatever he wants.

Su Xun frowned deeply: "What grandmother hates most is this kind of fox and fake tiger, a bully, I can't imagine that Mama Song's family is so unbearable." ”

Yi Jing also said: "It is only because Mr. Duo told me that the little girl knew the truth. I couldn't help but think in my heart, Song Er's bad behavior was such a bad act, and he also implicated his grandmother's reputation, this matter must not be exposed so easily, and he must tell his grandmother truthfully.

Waiting for her to make a move, I don't know how Mama Song will respond?

This trip is really worth the trip, after the observation and temptation just now, Yijing is already seventy percent sure - this Li Ji must be related to Mama Song, and he seems to have a lot of hatred for Mama Song.
