Yuehua followed Chang Lehou out of the door of the main hall with relief, she felt that her knees were sore, she couldn't help but tremble, and her back spine was also cold, and she reached out to hold the girl's wrist, and her feet were all vain, as if she was stepping on the clouds, and she didn't listen to the call.

The first one to catch up was Lian Shi, who pulled Chang Lehou's sleeve and couldn't wait to lower his voice: "What did you say?" Have you decided on a candidate? ”

Chang Lehou glanced at the brothers who gathered around him, took out the head of the elder brother, coughed lightly, and passed on the Empress Dowager's instructions: "The Empress Dowager has an edict, stay for lunch and eat, and the children will rest." ”

This is not good news, several masters have already inquired about the details of the Queen Mother's summons to all the sisters, and after careful consideration, they are eager for the Queen Mother to be summoned separately and give their daughter a chance to show her strengths. Now that this is gone, there is no hope at all.

The third master Zhili served as a waiter in the household department and married the sister of Li Ji, a cabinet scholar. This Li is a knife mouth, with a pungent tongue, and has never been on good terms with the Lian family. Originally, she deliberately carried the concubine from the lady in the middle of the house under her knees, which was to save the mind of climbing the dragon and attaching the phoenix today. The girl was afraid that it would be useless to be blamed, so she added fuel to the matter of how Chang Lehou and his wife recommended Chang Lingyan with ulterior motives, and the Li family held back his anger.

"All scattered? The feeling is that the wind is blowing appropriately, and your family is going to soar? There was a mean sourness in his voice.

Chang Lehou was a little embarrassed, and he couldn't argue with a woman: "Who has this creation is uncertain, how can the Empress Dowager's mind be figured out by us juniors?" ”

Lian Shi observed the words and looks, and saw that his Hou Ye's expression was unnatural, and he was not half proud, so he "cooed" in his heart, and glanced at Yuehua behind him, and saw that she hung her head down, and there was a layer of fine and crystal sweat beads on the tip of her nose, and she didn't see the joy and toe of climbing the high branches, and she was suspicious in her heart, but she didn't give in to her mouth at all.

"Now that the Empress Dowager and her old man are just free, if the third brother and sister have any questions, just go in and say hello."

"Hey, our lord often walks in the middle, and our family members also know how to be measured, but we don't dare to talk too much in front of her old man, and I was kicked out and lost face."

Chang Lehou has no name but no power, he has no name, and he has always been submissive to the Lian family, no one is responsible, the brothers of the family do not take him in their eyes, and he speaks unscrupulously, openly and secretly ridiculed.

"You!" Lian's face turned into a purple eggplant, secretly resentful of his own incompetence, a dignified sister-in-law, who was actually pickled by the younger ones.

The third master was always in front of his brother, and he scolded his wife and shut up.

The fifth master to the letter official Ren Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing, Mrs. Ding is an eight-sided and bright person, straight past Chang Lehou, affectionately grabbed Yuehua's slender wrist, and said with a smile: "This is the Empress Dowager, her old man feels sorry for these sisters, I'm afraid that they will be tired standing here, let's step back for the time being." It's just that my family Ling Yuan has been talking about her cousin Yuehua for a long time, saying that she wants me to take her back, so that she can be a companion, big brother and sister-in-law, just let Yuehua go with us all the way to live for a few days, right? ”

The people present are not stupid, how can they not understand what Ding is thinking? Everyone immediately turned their attention to Yuehua, who was silent behind him. After thinking about it with a different kind of thought, I felt that this moon had inadvertently come out and fall slim, quiet and elegant, like a fairy under the moon.

The Lian family was even more difficult to get along with, and stepped forward and quietly blocked Ding's hand: "Yuehua, she is the head of my Hou Ye's mansion, and she is in charge of the food and drink in my mansion. These cousins haven't been in touch for a few years, and it's good to want to be affectionate, but it's better to wait for Yuehua to explain the matter at hand, isn't it? ”

Yuehua saw that he was thrown to the forefront in an instant, knowing that these people all had bad intentions, so he just borrowed Lian's words, bowed and said: "The kindness of the fifth aunt Yuehua is heartfelt, but the queen mother's meal has not been properly arranged, I am afraid that there will be omissions, Yuehua does not dare to delay, retire first, and come to the door another day to say goodbye to my uncle and aunt." ”

Without waiting for everyone's reaction, he quickly pulled Xiangshen's hand and hurriedly turned the corridor, panicking like a snake and scorpion. When he finally turned around and disappeared from everyone's shadows, he slid down the pillar weakly, sat on the hot stone bench, and covered his heart, as if he had survived the catastrophe.

Xiang Shen frowned and looked down at his wrist, he had already grabbed a few obvious fingerprints, a piece of sweat, and then looked at his young lady's pale face, her nose twitched, and her smooth forehead was covered with fine rice and cold sweat. After looking around and seeing that there was no one left and right, Fang asked with concern: "Miss, are you okay?" ”

Yuehua took a deep breath, still clutching the neckline of the broken beads on her heart, lest she be careless, and her heart jumped out in a panic.

"I was quiet and took a breath, but now my legs seem to be from another family, and I walk floating, and I don't even have a root."

Xiangshen took out the handkerchief between his sleeves and handed it over: "Wipe the sweat on your head, it's the first time I've seen Miss so frightened, it's not good to be seen." ”

Yuehua took it in his hand, wiped it indiscriminately, and inadvertently touched the purple dragon lying snow between the temples with his fingertips, pulled it down, threw it at his feet, stepped on it fiercely, and crushed it into mud: "I'm afraid it's the root and seedling that caused trouble!" ”

Xiangshen was inexplicable, but he was distressed and said: "It's a pity that the new satin shoes, you embroidered them by yourself, and they were ruined by the flower juice, and the eldest lady has to blame." ”

In a word, Yuehua was sad, she worked weekdays, and her embroidered shoes were naturally more worn out than the three sisters in the house, and she was often nagged by Lian Shi and did not know how to be thrifty. Think about the most inconspicuous pair of embroidered shoes now, and you have to look at the eyes of others.

This cold and desolate feeling made her originally panicked heart gradually calm down, and she stood up and said to Xiang Shen in frustration: "Let's go back." ”

"Go back? Aren't you going to the kitchen? ”

Yuehua was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Now my aunt probably can't put me in a cage, am I still shy and uninteresting?" It's wrong to do anything left and right, so just go back to the yard and rest, you go to the front to let me know, stay and watch the wind, if someone asks you about me, you will all shirk it. ”

Although Xiang Shen was full of doubts, he didn't say much, knowing that there must be something terrible: "Miss don't worry, I'll pay attention everywhere." ”

After speaking, he immediately went to the front yard to inquire about the news according to Yuehua's instructions.

Yuehua stood stunned in place for a moment, feeling that the autumn sun was becoming more and more hot, dazzling brightly, and the rockery and blue pond in the garden were also reflected in the red white, and sighed, like a ball of cotton stuffed in her chest, tightly blocked. It wasn't until someone came and went that he fled in a panic and returned.

Yuehua lives in the most remote courtyard in the backyard, which was originally a courtyard specially set up for a Qinglou singer when Changle Hou was in the scenery, which is narrow, with four main rooms and two ear rooms, but it is also elegant. However, the singer only lived for two or three months, and then she provoked the Lian family with pampering and arrogance, and was sent to the tooth dealer without knowing where to go, and the yard was idle. The women in the backyard were disgusted with filth and did not want to live, so Yuehua moved in after her mother's funeral was taken care of.

Her mother Chang Zhirou is the only daughter of the Chang family in the previous generation, ranked fourth, when the Empress Dowager was in charge, married to Chu Lingchuan, the protector general of Chang'an, although the two are less together and more separated, but the flounder is deeply affectionate and very affectionate.

Later, the first emperor died, the young emperor Mo Guhan ascended the throne, and the surrounding countries bullied the new emperor at a young age, eyeing Chang'an, and for a time the border was in flames. Chu Lingchuan killed the enemy on the border, repeatedly turned the tide, and guarded the peace of the people of Chang'an. It's just that in a battle five years ago, he unfortunately fell into the tricks of the Xiliang people, and the whole army was wiped out, and the horse leather shrouded him.

Soon after the mother heard the bad news, she followed it regardless of it, and a long sword was gone, leaving Yuehua, who was not as good as cardamom, and was lonely.

The Lian family is willing to take him in, but he is just greedy for the property of the general's mansion, but his uncle cherishes him from the bottom of his heart, but he can't be the master of the Lian family, and he is caught in the middle, where does she dare to be picky? What's more, it was simply cleaned up and repaired inside, and it was very comfortable for me and Mama Wei, Xiangshen, and Xiangche to live together.

Mama Wei was not in the yard, only the little girl Xiangche was there, she was picking up last year's thick bedding to dry, removing the quilt, revealing the burnt cotton wool, and patting the dust on it with a bamboo pole.

"Mama Wei is back, let her come to my house for a while!"

There was a hint of anger in Yuehua's voice, and Xiang Che only thought it was a trivial matter in the house, and didn't dare to ask more: "Miss Shicai has been here." ”

So fast? Yuehua sneered in her heart, and she should be the kung fu of the front and back feet: "What did you say?" ”

Xiang Che shook his head: "Some don't, I messed up two sentences, which is quite inexplicable, but the tone is surprisingly peaceful." ”

This ordinary person who sees the wind and steers the rudder, really has a sensitive nose, and he actually spied out the mystery so quickly.

"If you come again, I'll say I have a headache and fall asleep."

"What's wrong with Miss, are you tired? Do you need a slave to find out the mint paste for you and knead it? ”

"No!"

Yuehua waved her hand, her heart was in turmoil, and she didn't bother to explain, so she lifted the curtain and entered the room, blocking the dazzling sunlight under her heels.

There was a quiet coolness in the room, and Yuehua poured herself a cup of herbal tea and drank it in one go, extinguishing the fire that went straight to the tip of her throat.
