Ling Zhiqiao immediately asked, "So you guys are angry with me for being so quiet?"

Er Han obviously replied unhappily: "We are not angry, we just think that you are better to the little eunuch than to us." ”

Ling Zhiqiao deliberately said sternly: "You two listen well, you are not allowed to call the little eunuch in the future, you must call Gonggong Jin, this is the rule in the palace, do you understand?" ”

Da Han and Er Han replied reluctantly: "I understand." Ling Zhiqiao didn't need to look at them, and they all knew that the two of them must be pouting now.

Jin Gui'er walked out of the pavilion with a smile, he walked around to Dahan Erhan, and said: "My two masters, I haven't seen you for a few days, I miss you, it just so happens that I also have to go out of the palace to do things for Grandpa Qi, why don't I invite the two masters to dinner, how about it?" ”

Da Han immediately showed his big white teeth and smiled: "Okay, eat roast duck." ”

Jin Gui'er looked at Ling Zhiqiao and asked, where to eat roast duck?

Ling Zhiqiao also got up and walked out of the pavilion, she walked towards the outside of the garden by herself, and said, "Let's go!" I'm here to please, to our little golden father-in-law, to celebrate. ”

Dahan muttered: "It's just good to him, and I don't admit it." ”

Jin Gui'er smiled and said, "Then you go, if you don't go, you won't have anything to eat." ”

Er Han hurriedly grabbed Da Han and followed Ling Zhiqiao in front of Jin Gui'er, Jin Gui'er shook his head and smiled and followed the team, and the four of them walked towards the outside of the palace.

After they finished eating roast duck in Sanqing Garden, Ling Zhiqiao left duck legs for Xiao Tao again, Jin Guier went to do errands for Father-in-law Qi, and she went back to the General's Mansion with Da Han and Er Han.

When Ling Zhiqiao returned to the Dream Garden, Xiao Tao had already gone back, and what Mama Qin said was left by the lady in the main room, Xiao Tao also found it and sent it to the attic.

Ling Zhiqiao returned to the attic, opened the oil paper to reveal the duck leg inside, and said to Xiao Tao: "The duck leg you brought, eat it quickly!" ”

Xiao Tao learned the tone of the lady in the main room from Mama Qin for a long time, and went out to buy clothes from the coachman that she needed, and when she came back, she went to the box to find something, and she was really hungry.

She chewed on the duck leg meat in her mouth and asked, "Miss, that coral chrysanthemum hairpin is well preserved, but the balm is all dry." ”

Ling Zhiqiao picked up the balm and opened it and smelled it, it may have been stored for too long, and the lid was not tightly covered, the paste inside was so dry that it was completely unusable, and after bringing her nose closer, she could only smell a little bit of fragrance. “

Xiao Tao had already started to eat the second duck leg and said, "Miss, the slave has smelled it, it seems to be jasmine, otherwise I will go to the rouge shop and buy another one!" ”

Ling Zhiqiao sniffed it again and said with a smile: "The rouge shop doesn't have a balm with so many spices, jasmine has added some osmanthus, it seems that there are cloves and mint, there is a little sweetness in the elegance, and a little refreshing in the sweetness, it seems that the lady still understands fragrance." ”

"Little Peach, when you're done eating, go to the kitchen in the front yard to get some lard and come back, I'll go downstairs first to see if all these spices are available."

In the pharmacy downstairs, Ling Zhiqiao quickly found the raw materials she wanted, when she first prepared these medicinal materials, she also prepared some spices, just so many of them, she cut the spices and mixed them in a small bowl, and when Xiao Tao took the lard, she was like a little peach, put the lard into the bowl, and then covered it with a layer of silk.

Ling Zhiqiao said to Xiao Tao: "Let Da Han and Er Han get a charcoal brazier." ”

After Xiao Tao went out, she ran back after a while and said, "Miss, the charcoal basin is here." ”

Ling Zhiqiao asked Da Han and Er Han to set up a small shelf on the charcoal basin, and then she put the small bowl on the shelf, slowly baked the spices inside, and let Xiao Tao take a pair of chopsticks and stir it constantly.

Soon the spices in the small bowl began to bubble slightly, and they had been baking for about half an hour, and the spices became more and more viscous after being stirred, Ling Zhiqiao straightened her waist and said to Dahan Erhan: "Take the brazier away!" ”

Da Han asked strangely, "Is this delicious?" A little less. ”

"You know how to eat, where can you tell it's food?" Ling Zhiqiao glared at him.

Xiao Tao was amused and said, "Brother Da Han, if you eat this thing, then you will become a fragrant person." At this time, the fragrance of this balm has filled the dream garden.

Ling Zhiqiao said to Xiao Tao: "After it cools down, the spices in it can solidify, you dig it out and put it in a small box, and when you use it at night, you wipe it on your clothes, and strive to make it smell wherever you go?" ”

Miss, now I feel that the garden is full of the fragrance of this jasmine, you say, can the second lady and Mrs. smell it now?

Ling Zhiqiao snorted and said with a smile: "It's good to give them a wake-up, but even if they smell it at this time, it is estimated that they will not think of Mrs. Zhengwu so quickly, we still have to be emotional, so that we can hit it with one hit, Xiao Tao, can you learn what Mama Qin taught you?" ”

Xiao Tao nodded and said, "The outfits are ready, Miss, you can watch at night!" Just tell us how to do it. ”

As soon as Dahan Erhan heard the conversation between Ling Zhiqiao and Xiao Tao, he also came to his senses, and Erhan asked, "Sister Ling, are you going to scare the bad guys again at night?" ”

Ling Zhiqiao pointed at Xiao Tao and said: "This time I changed Xiao Tao to be the protagonist, this time I went to Lu's yard, don't forget to find out the small board car with wheels last time, and let Xiao Tao stand on it to experience it first." ”

After Ling Zhiqiao finished arranging, she suddenly remembered that she hadn't received a letter from the post station, so she hurriedly asked the guards of Mengyuan to go to the gate of the mansion to inquire.

Soon the guard returned, and he replied, "Miss, there has been no messenger from the post station to report it all day today, and the master has not yet returned." ”

Ling Zhiqiao suddenly began to feel uneasy again, but she was afraid that it would be too obvious, she thought that when Xiao Qian came back, she would have to ask in person.

Before she arrived, Ling Zhiqiao asked Erhan and Dahan to pick up Song Siyan, and after seeing Song Siyan, she asked: "Sister Song, the emperor went to the chanting hall today, can you remember the Bodhisattva statue you moved?" ”

Song Siyan replied with a little surprise: "Miss Ling, you entered the palace today, listen to what Gonggong Jin said?" You're not going to hit that little room where I'm going to recite the scriptures, are you? ”

"Isn't Sister Song curious?" Ling Zhiqiao asked.

"I'm not curious, since I took over the chanting hall, Your Majesty has come here like this, I was also shocked, Miss Ling, I dare to swear, there is really only one tablet in that room, but the sound is indeed coming from inside, and I think no one may know except His Majesty the Emperor."

"So I advise Miss Ling, even if I know which Bodhisattva statue Your Majesty is moving, I won't tell you, because what Your Majesty wants to hide, if others know about it, what will be the result, and if you can't keep it, I will lose my head."

Ling Zhiqiao smiled helplessly: "I just ask, just ask." ”

Song Siyan pursed his lips and smiled: "Miss Ling, you don't just ask, it's just that even if you want to explore the secret, you have to wait for the Second Highness to come back, otherwise you will get into trouble, but there is no one to save you from the scene, which is what the Second Highness ordered me when he left." ”

Ling Zhiqiao thought to herself, Dui Yunhan, you really don't tell people less, the people around me have been talked about by you, and I don't even know.

When Song Siyan went to prepare the scriptures she was reading on her last day, there were several rumbling thunders in the already dark sky.

In another courtyard of the General's Mansion, Xiao Qinxue was lying on the bed all day, and her body was still a little hot at night, she drank the decoction brought by Ling'er and ordered: "Ling'er, you are in my room tonight, I always feel panicked." ”

Ling'er was reluctant in her heart, but she still promised in her mouth: "Miss, you can sleep at ease, I will keep vigil at the door of the house." ”

Lu stood beside the bed and comforted Xiao Qinxue: "Don't worry, Qinxue, I saw that little cheap hoof during the day, but I was very afraid of me, it seems that I didn't slap her in vain, and wasn't it okay last night?" Don't be afraid, sleep peacefully, and you'll wake up tomorrow. ”

Xiao Qinxue listened to a lot of Lu's talk, but she couldn't arouse her interest and spirit at all, and she didn't want to speak, so she lay on her side, and didn't forget to tell Ling'er not to leave.

Before leaving, Lu also instructed Ling'er: "You are so good to be here to guard, listen to the thunder just now, it will definitely rain this night, the doors and windows are closed, don't let the young lady get cold." ”

Ling'er agreed, "Got it, madam." ”

But in his heart, he was dissatisfied, why didn't you take me so important when you wanted me to be your scapegoat.

To say that Lu is not afraid is actually fake, she is also a little apprehensive in her heart, and she also brought a serving mother-in-law by her side, the mother-in-law is in front of her with a lantern to light the way, Lu walks behind, from time to time like a frightened bird looking around, after all, what Ling'er said that day is really a little scary.

After entering the house safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, and a light rain began to fall outside, and in the thunder, there were a few more lightning bolts with some pink, and the wind began to blow strongly little by little.

Lu instructed his mother-in-law: "You will also keep vigil in my house today." ”

The mother-in-law agreed, hung the lantern on the shelf, and then moved a stool and put it at the door of the house, and then the mother-in-law went to serve the Lu family to change clothes, she asked while she was busy: "Madam, did you smell the fragrance in the general's mansion today, but we can't taste what kind of fragrance it is?" But the smell of that wafting from me was good. ”

Except for Xiao Qinxue's house during the day, the Lu family basically didn't go out of the house much, but a few times, she did smell a fragrance in the yard, and the indescribable sense of familiarity was absent.

Lu changed her clothes, sat in front of the dressing mirror, and her mother-in-law took off all kinds of jewelry and objects on her head for her, and then began to comb Lu's hair, Lu looked at herself in the mirror, and the corners of her eyes were already full of wrinkles, and even the traces of wrinkles could be faintly seen on her forehead.

Lu sighed and said, "When a person reaches this age, no matter how charming he is, it's useless?" ”
