Early the next morning, the sun was still warm, and the snow on the roadside had decreased a lot. Lu Wen came to visit the General's Mansion in a low-key manner in the morning, and even the young lady in it was not alarmed, but only visited his sister-in-law Li, talked privately with the old lady, and then took the old lady to say goodbye to his sister-in-law Li and Aunt Qiu's on the grounds of recuperating her body, and left in a hurry without even having lunch.

The sunlight shines into the small willow nunnery through the doors and windows, and the golden sprinkled piece reflects the jade mountains on the Bogu shelf and becomes crystalline.

"County Lord." Bai Shuang pushed the door in, holding a wooden box in her hand, and walked forward quickly to say to Nu'erfu, "This is sent by Lord Lu." I counted it, and it was exactly five thousand taels of gold. ”

With a faint smile on the slave's lips, the teacup in his hand fell on the tea table lightly, as if five thousand taels of gold were just a piece of light snow, insignificant. She half leaned back in her chair, "looking for a way to go out, and exchange the gold into silver and deposit it in the silver bank." ”

"Yes." Bai Shuang held the wooden box and retreated.

"Where's Aunt Fang?" The slave asked, turning her head.

"Aunt Fang has been infected with the wind and cold these days, and I'm afraid I won't be able to serve the county lord. Right now, I'm raising my body in the house. A voice like a yellow bird sounded.

"How can I get sick. The first few days were fine. The slave thought for a moment, and then said, "If she is seriously ill, go to a doctor and take a look, and don't let her hold on." ”

"The county lord is really kind." Xinmei smiled, "If my aunt hears it, her heart will warm up for a while." ”

Unlike the laughter that comes from time to time in Koyanagi-an, there is a low air pressure in the Ripple Garden. Li Yuzhi, who finally got out of the ancestral hall, lay lazily on the couch, she was wearing a long skirt flowing purple and gold, and her body was covered with a white fox and fox fur blanket that Lu Zhi had hunted. The face is painted with light makeup, and the eyebrows have changed from the peony flowers in the past to flying cloud patterns, which is a little less ruthless and adds a lot of softness to it. It's just that she frowned slightly, and her body, which had been a lot thinner, looked even thinner and haggard under the brocade and jade quilt.

"Mother has been wronged these days." Lu Yuebai's voice was full of crying, although she was dissatisfied with her mother's preference for her eldest sister, but after all, she was a blood-related relative, and she still had heartache. Tears fell uncontrollably.

"What are you crying about?" Li Yuzhi stretched out her hand to wipe away Lu Yuebai's tears, her eyes were very flat, and there was a trace of undetectable killing intent hidden in the blandness. Qiong Guangyan gave her a heavy blow, which had already awakened her from the arrogant and beautiful dreams she had had, and she restrained her former anger and turned into gentleness, exuding weakness from the inside out. She waited for an opportunity, and this time the blow was sure to hit.

"What is Mother thinking?" Lu Yuebai's question pulled Li Yuzhi back from his fugue dream, and Li Yuzhi smiled, "I'm thinking that your birthday is coming soon." What kind of gift do you want?"

Lu Yuebai immediately showed a look of joy, it was rare for her mother not to forget her. But the joy was only for a moment, and then the light on her face dimmed, "My father is still fighting on the front line, and Yuebai doesn't want anything, I just want my father to return safely." ”

That's a nice thing to say. It's just a pity that your father is not there. Li Yuzhi actually doesn't dislike her second daughter, it's just that this second daughter is really not as smart as the eldest daughter, and she can't help but be partial. Lu Yuebai wanted to say something, but a delicate voice came from the door, "Mother." Her words were immediately choked in her throat.

"Yinhua is here." Li Yuzhi's tone rose slightly, and he could see that he was very happy. She moved half of her seat, patted the blanket and said to Lu Yinhua, "Come and sit." ”

Lu Yinhua stepped forward with a smile, and saw Lu Yuebai standing on Li Yu's side in a regular manner, her movements suddenly paused, and she also stood beside Lu Yuebai in a regular manner, "Yinhua is standing." ”

"Mother looks much better." Lu Yinhua stared at Li Yuzhi for a long time and said.

"Mother always feels a little better when she sees the eldest sister. When the eldest sister came, the mother was naturally fine. ”

Lu Yuebai's words were sour, sour to the vinegar jar. Li Yuzhi just didn't hear it, she still had something to discuss with Lu Yinhua, so she waved her hand, "Qingfang, send the second lady back to the room to rest." ”

Lu Yuebai's eyes were red, and instead of crying as usual, she resolutely turned her back and left.

Looking at Lu Yuebai's leaving, Lu Yinhua sighed slightly, "Mother is like this, my sister is afraid that she can't tolerate me as a sister." ”

"I can't tolerate it anymore, you are also her sister, and she will also pave the way for you. I'm here, and she doesn't dare to make a mistake. Li Yuzhi's tone was normal, as if Lu Yuebai was not her daughter. Sometimes looking at Lu Yuebai, Lu Yinhua often asks herself, are she really sisters? The two have different personalities, and they are not close when they are young, but they are more familiar with outsiders.

"Have you done everything I want you to do?" Li Yuzhi asked in a deep voice.

"Mother, don't worry, I have already told my cousin about this. It's just ......" Lu Yinhua hesitated, "Mother is sure she wants to do it now?" You just came out of the ancestral hall, are you in a hurry?"

"The day after tomorrow, she is going to Zuixiaolou and do it outside, and the people she hired are also those gangsters who don't want to die in the rivers and lakes, and it is your cousin who comes forward. Except for her best, if she misses, you can't find out what happened to us. Li Yuzhi glanced at Lu Yinhua deeply, she took Lu Yinhua's hand, and said earnestly, "Once you return to the palace, it will not be easy to get rid of her." Mother, she's removing stumbling blocks for you. ”

Lu Yinhua lowered his head, "Yinhua knows everything that my mother has done. But,"

"Enough!" Li Yuzhi waved his hand to stop Lu Yinhua's words, "Wei Nu'er, this scourge must die." Otherwise, I won't be able to swallow and sleep at night! You don't have to say any more, step down. ”

Outside the window, the sky was getting darker, the sun was setting, and the cold of the winter moon was coming again. Xinmei in Xiaoliu'an is lighting the candlestick and putting it on the small square table beside the slave to refill the lamp for her, "It's going to be dark outside, so the slave maid will go to fetch hot water and wait for the county lord to freshen up." ”

The slave closed the book and rubbed her dry eyes. She stretched her waist widely, yawned and said, "That Xu Boyong is really a man of personal talent." His books can be described as a pearl of words, and every sentence has a deep meaning and is evocative. ”

"The county lord has been watching for a day today, and it's time to rest." Bai Shuang walked in with a copper basin of Pisces playing with pearls, took a square towel and wet it in the water, and Xinmei immediately took a flat square jade box from the dresser and smeared it on the slave's face. Then a hot and steaming square scarf was spread evenly on the slave's face.

"This jade pollen is beautiful and nourishing. The county lord will definitely become a great beauty in the future. provoked the noble sons of Shengjing to lose their souls! The new eyebrows laughed.

"Look at your flamboyant look!" The slave snorted, and a scene came to mind.

There was a piece of wind and snow, an umbrella, a red plum, and a man in Tsing Yi with a warm smile......
