Part 1 Staggered Time and Space Chapter 2 The Spirit Stone of Fate

Section 266 Backyard (2)

Madame sat in the pavilion, frowning slightly.

Xiao Ye stood behind her and asked, "Madame, are you tired?" ”

Madame smiled and nodded: "I'm a little tired, I haven't been out for a long time, and I've walked a little more today." ”

Xiao Ye poured her a glass of water.

"Madame's complexion does look much better now, and it seems that she really needs to move a little more. It is also a small way to make Mrs. happy, Xiao Ye has been with Mrs. for so long, and it is the first time since Mrs. is sick that she is so happy. ”

Madame laughed, "This kid is learning too naughty now." ”

Xiao Ye felt that Madame didn't have to worry, anyway, there were a lot of people in the villa who were spoiled, and it was nothing to be naughty. Compared with temperament, the health of the spirit girl is more important in the villa. It is estimated that seeing the young lady running around, the elders can only be happy. ”

Madame smiled even more happily, and even the sadness on her face disappeared a little: "That's right." Seeing her so lively, I was also really happy. She's better than me, and she's not going to follow my old path anyway, and I don't have to worry about her anymore. ”

Xiao Ye nodded and said, "Where do you need to worry about Miss, what you need to worry about is the people who take care of Miss in the villa." It is estimated that the young lady will not suffer hardship. I've never seen Deacon Ge so humble, even in front of the women of the Chang family, he is very strict, and I heard that the masters of the courtyard are a little afraid of him.

Now in front of the young lady, he looks deferential, and even with his wife, he is also pleasant. You must know that except for the Seven Elders and several courtyard masters, the Chang clan has no higher status than Deacon Ge. ”

"After all, Deacon Ge is in charge of Runfang Pavilion, so his status is naturally higher."

Xiao Ye smiled: "No, at such a young age, Miss is not afraid of him at all." The young lady has a majestic temperament, and she has always had a commanding tone in front of the deacon song, and she doesn't even call the deacon, but calls her name directly. ”

"It's really unruly, where is there a direct name."

"As long as the adults don't feel rude, why should Madame care about her. Xiao Ye heard that the young lady was not even afraid of the elders in the villa, and of course the elders' faces smashed the things in the altar everywhere. ”

"And here's the thing."

"Yes, Qing'er said that I heard it, saying that it was because Young Master Yuxiao was embarrassed by the master of the Peony Courtyard, and the elders didn't take action."

"Yuxiao and Yuqing didn't tell me why, not you, I don't know until now."

Xiao Ye said: "I think the young master and the young lady think it's nothing." ”

"How could Yu Xiao have a conflict with the master of the Peony Courtyard?"

"Xiao Ye doesn't know the specific situation, the matter between the courtyard masters is not allowed to be discussed privately by the people below, and Qing'er doesn't dare to talk about it in detail."

Madame sighed: "Yuqing doesn't make people worry, but this kid is a little worried." I have to talk about him when I go back, where I can offend the masters, and if something happens, the elders can spare him. ”

"I don't think there's any need to worry, with Miss's temperament, as long as it's not the young master's fault, the elders won't treat the young master badly."

"This girl will protect her brother." Madame laughed.

was smiling, watching Yuqing walk this way from a distance, "Is that Yuqing?" ”

Xiao Ye looked at it and said, "Yes, it's Miss, and the young master, just talking about them, they came." ”

Mrs. stood up, and Yueqing knew that Mrs. had found her, holding a flower basket in one hand, and waving her with the other, shouting to her: "Mother." "I'm shouting and jumping at the same time.

Madame watched her run and jump in the verandah, and shook her head: "This child, where is there a girl's appearance." So saying, he got up and walked that way.

Yueqing saw that she quickened her pace, holding her skirt in one hand, and ran this way.

Qing'er followed unhurriedly behind her: "Miss, don't run so fast, be careful of falling." ”

Yueqing ignored her and jumped in front of her wife: "Mother, look at it, is it good-looking?" ”

Madame looked at the flower basket in her hand: "Yo, it's so beautiful, who made it?" ”

"I did it, I made a lot of it, I learned that this pot is the best, and I specially brought it to you to see."

Madame wiped the sweat from her head with a handkerchief, "It's really beautiful, you see you run." Crazy how can there be a girl. ”

Yueqing laughed twice: "Mother, give it to you, you smell it, it's very fragrant." ”

Madam sniffed it: "Well, it's really fragrant, you still make flower baskets, I've never seen such a flower basket, and the Seventh Elder taught you?" ”

Yueqing opened her eyes wide and said innocently: "How can she, she can't do anything other than educate people, this is what I learned from a lady who opened a flower shop in Xibao City." ”

Qing'er was confused next to her, how could she not know that the young lady had learned this from the lady of the flower shop. There is no such flower basket in Xibao City, and the flower baskets made by Miss are much better than those in Xibao City, and it is estimated that these flower baskets are made by Miss.

Madame took the flower basket and said, "Really? Go back and teach Xiaoye and them, and put some of these flower baskets in my room. ”

Yueqing took her arm: "Okay, mother, I have made up a lot, there are many styles, maybe you have a better favorite." And this flower basket will not lose its freshness for a month or two, and it will always be so good-looking. ”

"Nonsense, this flower will be defeated in one day after it is picked, where can it be fresh for a month or two."

"Mother, don't believe it, I put a water-absorbing device under this flower basket, as long as you water it every day, it will always look so good."

"My mother has only heard of water in bottles, but I have never heard that this basket can also be filled with water."

"Yes, just add something. Oh, mother, you've asked so much, I'll teach Sister Xiaoye when the time comes, it's very simple. By the way, I asked Deacon Shen to prepare lunch, and then set the table and table in the garden. Those flower baskets are placed on the table around the dining table, which is particularly beautiful. Let's enjoy the flowers while eating, not far ahead. Let's go. ”

"Lunch, how do you eat it in the garden?"

"That's because you haven't eaten outside, it's much more fragrant than in the house, you'll know when you go."

was dragged all the way to the place by her daughter, and the lady was amazed by the scene.

"Oh, that's pretty good."

"Yes, mother, I just said it looks good." Saying that, Yueqing took a wreath from the tree on the side and put it on top of her husband's head: "Mother, wear this for you." ”

Madame touched it with her hand and said embarrassedly: "Hey, at my age, where is it suitable to wear this." ”

"Why is it not suitable, I don't believe you let Xiao Ye take a look. Pretty or not pretty? ”

Xiao Ye hurriedly said: "Madame is so beautiful, this garland with Madame's current ruddy complexion, coupled with Madame's already beautiful face, is really beautiful." ”

"Really."

Yueqing nodded: "Really, really, this garland is really suitable, mother, you see I also have one." As he spoke, he took one off and put it on his head, shook his head, and asked, "How is it, is it pretty?" Mother. ”

Madame said, "Well, it's really beautiful. ”

Yueqing continued: "I originally prepared one for my brother, but unfortunately he didn't wear it, and he didn't even try it." Hmph, don't wear it, let's wear it. ”

Chang Yuxiao said helplessly beside him: "How can a man wear flowers." ”

"Hmph, excuse, I see that you just don't like the garland I knitted, mother, my brother doesn't feel sorry for me at all, I've been knitting it for a long time."

The lady spoke for her son: "It is true that men do not wear flowers. ”

Yueqing pouted, "Mother, you are partial, but it's biased, I'm the most well-behaved so I won't fight for this, I know that my mother also loves me too." ”

Madame tapped her with her hand, "As far as you are naughty, you say the good and the bad." ”

Yueqing was proud, "Mother, come and take a look at these flower baskets." ”

Madame followed, "It's good, it's all good, and it smells so good." ”

"It's good-looking, when we finish eating, let everyone move to my mother's yard, so that my mother can see it every day, and my mood will be better." Chang Shen has already prepared all the meals, let's just look at the flowers, and watch while eating. Come, mother. ”

Madame was pulled to the table by Yueqing, and there was also one on the table. The red and green colors are very beautiful.

"Brother, sit over there, I'm going to sit with my mother."

Saying that, Yueqing sat next to Madame, and Chang Yuxiao sat on the other side.

Chang Shen walked over and said, "Miss, it's all ready, let's serve it now." ”

"Well, let's serve it."

Chang Shen gestured behind him, and the maids came to the table with various covered plates.

Chang Shen introduced: "This is steamed pork ribs, this is pearl balls, and this is braised carp。。。。。 ”

There are several dishes in a row, both hot and cold.

After finishing Yueqing said: "Mother, try Changshen's craftsmanship, I like this fish-flavored shredded meat the most, you can taste it." ”

Madame tasted it, "It is indeed delicious." ”

Yueqing said: "It's all delicious, eat your mother." ”

Madame picked up the chopsticks.

"Eating among the flowers is quite fresh. It's really appetizing to eat like this. ”

"Well, it's better to eat more often. Mother, you try this fish again, Chang Shen specially went to the fish, especially delicious. ”

Madame opened her mouth to eat it, and praised it for its deliciousness: "You are really blessed, I didn't expect the deep deacon dish to be so good." ”

Chang Shen said on the side: "Don't dare to be, it's all good for young ladies to train." ”

When Yueqing heard this, she hurriedly added: "He said that I have a bad mouth, and I don't eat if it's not delicious, but this technique has been grinded out." Mother, my brother's craftsmanship is also good, and I have to ask him to do it for you a few more times at home during this time. ”

Madame glanced at Chang Yuxiao, counted her down, and said, "Why don't you say that you do it yourself, patronizing and bullying your brother." ”

"Mother, I'm young, of course it's harder for the eldest brother."

"You'll say." Madame reprimanded, and then asked, "By the way, my mother hasn't asked you yet, didn't you call Aunt Liu and them all in the morning?" Things can be taken care of. ”

Yueqing took a sip of soup and replied, "Not yet." ”

Madame was stunned for a moment: "Not yet?" What about Aunt Liu? ”

"It's all in the front room."

Mrs. said with a straight face: "Yuqing, this is not right, how can you let your aunt and younger siblings stay in the front hall all the time." You're here to eat, drink, and enjoy the flowers. ”

"Oh, mother, don't worry, I've arranged everything, they also eat and drink in the front hall, and they can't be thirsty or hungry. I wanted to hurry over, but Daddy hasn't come back yet, so I don't want to wait for Daddy to come back. If I make a decision on my own, Daddy won't be angry at that time? ”

Madame smiled: "I see, you are thoughtful, but don't let everyone stay in the front hall all the time, just invite everyone over when your father comes back." ”

"Mother, please go, why do you still let everyone go back, this back and forth, everyone still thinks they are playing. It's better to stay in the front hall directly, and it is estimated that Daddy will be back soon. ”

Madam nodded: "What you said also makes sense, but what's going on with the prince today, he came back so late." It can't be that something happened. ”

"What can I encounter, I guess I should have met someone somewhere, I hope it won't be a girl from Tianxianglou."

"Yuqing, don't miss your father so much. He's not as bad as you think. ”

"Okay, he's the best daddy in the world. Let's eat, don't talk about that. ”

Maybe the food really suited Mrs. Lady's appetite, after eating a lot, she said that she couldn't eat, Yueqing accompanied her to enjoy the flowers for a while, and when she saw that Mrs. was a little tired, she said to let her go back to rest first, and these flower baskets would all be sent to her yard.

"Okay, my mother will go back first, and you should finish the matter earlier and rest for a while, you should be tired after tossing for so long."

Yueqing nodded: "Don't worry, mother, as soon as Daddy comes back, I'll go and let Daddy deal with this matter." ”

Madame nodded and left with Xiao Ye and the others.

Mo Xue walked over from the side, "Miss is really interested today." ”

Yueqing looked at him and said, "I can't stay here long, and I will accompany her more when I am still around, so as not to regret it when I go back." ”

Mo Xue said: "Miss has a good temperament, and there are not many women like Miss in the world. ”

Yueqing snorted: "Do you believe these words yourself?" Even if you want to praise me, don't say it so much. It's all done. ”

After finishing for a while, I saw that the young lady was in high spirits, so I didn't bother.

Yueqing sat down on the railing of the cloister: "How is the check?" ”

Mo Xue said: "Since Aunt Liu became an aunt, in addition to being in front of King Yongjing, she has always behaved perversely, excluded several other aunts in the house, occupied the monthly payments in other courtyards, and made false accounts in the name of various red and white ceremonies, transferred a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in the house, and purchased her own fields and yards outside the house.

Especially during the period of being in charge, he did a lot of unsavory things. lynching and the sale of slaves. resold the property and land in the palace privately, colluded with his brother, and took a lot of benefits in several shops.

In addition, he also moved the wife's dowry and reward, and brought the valuable medicines and supplements that the villa gave to the wife every year. It's really greedy and insufficient, and even dares to touch the things of the lady. ”

Yueqing was surprised, "It's so serious." ”

"Aunt Liu's mother's family doesn't have much power, without these, where would she have such a life. All these things have been clarified, and the witnesses and exhibits have been brought in. The specifics are categorized and written in these booklets. As she spoke, Mo Xue handed her two thin books.

Yueqing took it, she already knew some words, although she couldn't know all of them, but she could also see that it recorded in detail the time and place, who was in contact with them, and who was involved.

"You're amazing, you can find it so clearly in such a short time."

"It's not the credit of this time, after all, Mrs. is in Yongjing Palace, and this palace is the home where Miss grew up. The villa has always been concerned, but today it was just a closer look and the witnesses were brought over. ”

Yueqing nodded: "Very good, this kind of person can't be free in the mansion all the time." They must be given some peace, or they will have to leave the palace directly. If Daddy doesn't agree, he has to take his mother away. ”

Chang Yuxiao frowned: "My mother may not leave." ”

Yueqing glared at him: "She is a weak woman, and her temperament is still so weak, she can still twist us." ”

Mo Xue said: "Mrs. Fu's temperament is not weak. ”

"Where did you see that?" Yueqing was surprised. "With this weak temperament, the juniors have all made trouble like this, and they are not weak."

"Madame just doesn't have an opinion, it doesn't mean she's weak. Otherwise, it would be impossible to leave the villa, and the young lady forgot that Chang's women could not leave the villa. ”

"I'm really curious what happened to her, you know?"

"I've heard of some, but I don't know much about the specifics."

"And what do you know?"

Mo Xue thought for a moment and said, "I only know that Mrs. Fu's affairs back then were related to a certain courtyard master at that time. ”

"Master? Spirit Maiden? ”

"Yes. I don't know what happened exactly, but one of the red guards in the guard was burned to death, and this red guard should have been the one chosen by the courtyard master. ”

Yueqing frowned: "It's so complicated, it won't be the mother and the spirit girl who robbed the man, but I didn't rob it." ”

"I don't know that."

Chang Yu said: "I also know a little about this matter, that Red Guard was the leader of the guards back then, and he was also a member of the Qi family, and he was familiar with Qi Jiao. ”

"Qi Jiao knows."

"Naturally, I knew each other, and we were originally from the same Qi family, besides, Qi Jiao was not the commander back then, and he and Na Chiwei often competed together and carried out tasks together. In addition, Chang Huai was also familiar with that Chiwei back then, Chang Huai was not a Red Guard back then, and was taken care of a lot by that Red Guard. I asked Chang Huai, but he refused to say. ”

Mo Xue said: "It's about the spirit girl, of course you can't say it, otherwise you will be sentenced to death by the Law Enforcement Hall." ”

Yueqing asked, "Speaking of capital punishment, wouldn't that Red Guard also be burned to death by execution?" ”

"The young lady was right, he was indeed burned at the stake by the Law Enforcement Hall. Between being burned to death, he couldn't stand the torture and abolished his martial arts. and was removed from the family's name, and was recognized as a shame for the Qi family. His family is not allowed to enter the lodge for less than three generations. ”

"Something wrong, so serious. Is the Law Enforcement Hall so powerful? ”

Mo Xue said: "Miss is the master of Qingyue Academy, of course she will not be afraid of the Law Enforcement Hall, but the people around you will not think so." If someone close to you is doing something wrong, maybe waiting for them is the same. ”

"So, Mo Wei's power is not small, he can deal with whoever he wants? Usually silent, this is the person who has been staring at me. ”

Mo Xue smiled: "The country has national laws, families have family rules, and the villa naturally has the rules of the villa." The people around Miss naturally understand these truths and will not make mistakes easily. ”

Yueqing looked at him and said, "You told me about this, did you also make a mistake?" ”

"Of course."

"Then you tell me."

"Miss asked, of course I would say, otherwise Miss wouldn't be even more distrustful of us."

Yueqing choked: "That, I don't distrust you, I just don't like to be stared at by you all the time." ”

"Not staring at Miss Hao is also a mistake, and a big mistake. Once something happens, it can't be solved by capital punishment. ”

Yueqing sighed: "Everyone has their own difficulties, let's understand each other." It's time for me to deal with Aunt Liu's affairs. ”

Mo Xue said: "Then can you let the prince go home." ”

Yueqing was stunned and said, "What do you mean." ”

"Miss didn't say that she had to prepare before the prince came back, the prince was already on the way back in the morning, and the young lady was making a flower basket at that time, so it was not good to disturb the interest of the young lady, so he let King Yongjing stay on the way back."

Yueqing smiled: "What good things have you done?" ”

"I didn't do anything, but King Yongjing's carriage hit someone on the road."

Yueqing stopped laughing, "How can you hurt people at will because of this?" ”

"Miss, don't worry, it was the person from the villa who was hit, and his kung fu is not weak, so he won't really be injured."

Yueqing was speechless, shook her head and said, "Okay, okay, I won't tell you." I'll go over and see Aunt Liu first. You hurry up and get Daddy back, I don't want to wait for him all the time. ”

"Yes. Miss, you need Mo Xue to help you deal with Aunt Liu's affairs. ”

"No need, after all, this is a matter in the backyard of the palace, you are outsiders, and it is difficult to deal with it. Just find someone to bring the witnesses, I can handle it myself, and there are Chang Yuxiao and Cai'er here. ”

"That's fine, Mo Xue is waiting for the good news of Miss in the courtyard."

"Hmm."
