Early in the morning, Duanmu Mansion has begun to be busy, there is a simple grass hut on one side, two large cauldrons are supported in the shed, the firewood is burning brightly underneath, two women hold a big spoon and keep stirring, and the fragrance of rice slowly spreads. The family came out of the house carrying two large baskets of steamed buns that were still steaming. Today is the day when the Duanmu family began to give alms, and for three consecutive days, the poor beggars who had heard the news rushed to line up, looking at the thick white porridge and snow-white steamed buns and swallowing their saliva frequently.

With a gong sound, the servants all dispersed from the door, and Duanmu Lady Yun was helped out of the gate by her subordinates, followed by a pair of children, Duanmu Yunze and Duanmu Huashu. There is also a room with Aunt Juan, who is dressed in purple, and all the servants.

"Mother, the temple is so boring, I have to climb the mountain, I still stay here and give porridge with the second sister."

Duanmu Hua Shuyue has passed her sixteenth birthday in front of her, and today she is wearing a peach-colored dress, with a ruddy complexion, and her words are still innocent, and the golden hairpin on her head to accompany her smart eyebrows also looks too old-fashioned, she pulled Yun's arm, and pouted coquettishly.

"Talk nonsense, beware of the Bodhisattva's blame." Yun pinched his daughter's cheek, although he was guilty, his subordinates were still reluctant to exert too much force, "Look at those people, they are dirty and messy, what if you get sick?" ”

"That ......" Hua Shu pointed to the Qing Rang behind and wanted to say something, but Yun Shi came over with a look, and Hua Shu didn't dare to say anything more.

"Ma'am, the carriage is ready." Qing Rang stepped forward and whispered back, Yun nodded slightly, Qing Rang led the slaves to bow and salute, Yun did not squint, Hua Shu and Yun Ze helped down the stairs, and when she entered the carriage, Yun Ze quietly turned back, whispered a few words in Qing Rang's ear, Qing Rang bowed his head and replied, "Big brother rest assured, Qing Rang will make proper arrangements." ”

Qing Rang has always been thoughtful in front of outsiders, but this humble and respectful appearance Yun Ze looked unhappy, and just wanted to attack, the eyes on the purple veil flickered twice, Yun Ze was amused, Yun called "Ze'er" in the car, and Yun Ze walked quickly to the carriage.

"My sister can always win the favor of my eldest brother." Duanmu Yushan muttered behind Qing Rang, with a sour taste. Aunt Juan pulled her daughter to prevent her from being presumptuous to Qingrang, although she was also a concubine, but Qingrang has always been the most loved by the master, and now she advocates the chores in the house, and the monthly food and clothing are in her hands.

Since the eldest brother left the house and let the master of Qingrang's house, Yushan always likes to sneer at Qingrang, Qingrang has always been resigned to it and doesn't mind, "Auntie, hurry up and get in the car, I will take care of Yushan, if you meet Rusheng host, say hello on my behalf." ”

"Yes." Aunt Juan took her ten-year-old son Yuxiang and hurried to the carriage behind, Yushan stood in place with a little sour in her eyes, "Why can Yuxiang go, and I have to stay here to give soup to those who ask for food!" ”

"Going to the temple to make incense is to pray for blessings, and giving porridge here is also to pray for blessings, people are doing it, and the sky will see it, the same cause and effect are all in the heart."

"You and I are both concubines, and my sister is only older than me, so why teach me everywhere." Yushan shook her hand, turned around and went back to the house.

"Just because we're all concubines, I don't want you to go down a detour." Qing Rang sighed, but unfortunately Yushan had already walked away and could no longer be heard.

"Miss Yushan is still young, and she will definitely experience Miss's hard work in the future." Jin Niang was relieved on one side.

"Jin Niang, every time I look at Yushan, I always look at myself, fortunately my mother was far-sighted back then, otherwise I am like that now, feeling sorry for myself. After my father's birthday, I want to go to see my mother. Qing Rang still clearly remembers what his mother taught since he was a child, that concubines are the identity given by others, and if they want not to be bullied at will, they have to pay more than those concubines. So she learned to do accounting and financial management with her mother since she was a child, and later learned the way of business with her father, in order to be strong enough to influence her own destiny.

"Miss, Qing Zhuyuan has spoken back and said that the guests are leaving the house." Jin Niang said in Qing Rang's ear, Qing Rang remembered what the eldest brother had specially explained before leaving, and instructed Jin Niang a few words, and finally explained, "After you do it, go to the east side door to find me" and then lifted the skirt and rushed to the side door to stop it.

"Childe and slow ......down" When Qing Rang shouted this sentence at the top of his throat, he was complaining in his heart that Yun Ze didn't ward her earlier, and when she saw that the person was already on the horse and was about to whip it, she didn't even complain, she just wished that she hadn't learned a few tricks from her eldest brother in her early years.

Qing Rang put her hands on her knees, feeling that she couldn't breathe in her chest, and she had completely given up when she heard the sound of horses' hooves, but she heard the sound getting louder and louder, getting closer and closer, she raised her head, and a person and a horse in her eyes were one step away, and she couldn't help but smile, although everything was hidden behind a purple veil.

The man on the horse looked straight at him and said nothing. Qing Rang felt that the child's eyes were full of skill, she was a little trembling, and she breathed smoothly, she didn't see the courtesy, and directly explained the intention, "The eldest brother explained before going out, saying that the road ahead is sluggish, I'm afraid there is no store that suits the taste of the son, let me prepare some dry food, and ask the son to wait." ”

"But there is also pear blossom stuffing?"

"Huh?" Qing Rang frowned, a little unclear.

"How do you know I'm not a brother in your eldest brother's army?"

Qing Rang complained about Yun Ze again in his heart, and actually betrayed her, "Gongzi is extraordinary, and he is not a reckless person. Especially the son's voice is warm, not as sand as the eldest brother. The first sentence is a little empty, the latter sentence is true, the original Yun Ze's voice is also so warm and pleasant, the roar in the army for two years is obviously much hoarse, that day Yu Ergongzi opened his mouth and surprised Qing Rang, it is inevitable that it is a little too pleasant.

"Oh?" The "Yu Er" son on the horse, this voice rose and turned, I couldn't hear whether I believed her words, or didn't believe it, Qing Rang beat the drum in his heart, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, fortunately, Jin Niang prepared dry food at this time. Qingrang motioned for her to hang up the dry food on the horse.

"Childe, the package contains the dry food needed for two days, and the pot is filled with the famous local pear blossom stuffing." Jin Niang instructed again, but when Pear Blossom Brew spoke, she inexplicably felt that there was something unusual in the air, and she just changed it temporarily because she felt that the wine was more suitable for refreshment than water.

"Childe be careful all the way." Qingrang took a step back and said goodbye.

The man on the horse did not say a word, turned the horse's head, and waved his whip, and the sound of the horse's hooves became rapid, and a puff of dust was already far away.

"Miss, this son heard that he is a friend of the eldest young master, just now I saw that the eyes of the young lady before he turned the horse's head were not ordinary, I am afraid that he is interested in the young lady, it is better to ......"

"Jin Niang, don't talk nonsense, do you know who he is?"

"Look, isn't that dressed like a military master?"

"I don't know people and clothes, I do wear coarse linen clothes, and the dress on my face is also a master, but how can I have the white and slender fingers of the military master, the key is that he rode north, but what he said is a southern accent, not to mention that my brother has always treated people casually, but he is very courteous to him."

"That must be from an extraordinary background, can the young lady know his identity?"

Although Qing Rang guessed that his identity was noble, if it weren't for the white camellia that he gave up to reveal the cuffs of his compatriot robe, how could she guess his identity," Nanxiang Yu Shaochen. ”

Jin Niang gasped, she didn't expect that what she had just instructed was the young son of the Nanxiang Yu family, and carefully recalled that there was no rudeness, the only thing she regretted was the pear blossom brew, which was left over by Miss last night, and she was reluctant to waste it before she put it on, and when she regretted it, she found that Miss had walked out leisurely for a long time.

At this time, Yu Gongzi had found a team outside the city to answer, sitting in the carriage, the guard asked what to do with the things on the horse, he squinted at it, and said leisurely, "Lost." ”

I still remember the fragrance of pear blossoms in Yunze's room last night, and people who are used to smelling blood don't like that smell, so they will spoil their noses and lose their vigilance.
