This person is actually related to Lu Lianzhi, no wonder she always feels a little uneasy.

"Does Xiao Liuzi know his name? What is the relationship with Lu Lianzhi? ”

Bai Zhi shook her head and said, "Xiao Liuzi said that he doesn't know, but he will definitely go to investigate and then come back to report to the young lady." ”

Dou Lianyi bowed his head slightly, did not speak again, just lowered his eyes, and thought about it.

"Boom!"

Just when there was silence in the house, a thunderclap suddenly exploded outside, and a heavy rain fell.

Dou Lianyi couldn't help but glance sideways at the window, reflecting the shadow of the apricot blossom tree swaying in the heavy rain.

When Dou Lianyi woke up the next day, the rain was still pouring outside.

Bai Zhi opened a small crack in the window, and the wind blowing in brought a slight chill.

As soon as she turned around, she saw Dou Lianyi take a cloak and drape it on her body, and quickly took an umbrella and stepped forward to ask, "Young lady, do you still want to go out when it's raining?" ”

"Go for a walk in the yard, or you'll be stuck in the house all day."

Dou Lianyi pushed open the door, Bai Zhi behind him opened the umbrella to block the continuous rain, and the master and servant walked into the courtyard one after the other.

Before he had walked a few steps, he saw a family outside the courtyard hiding under the eaves, looking anxiously inside.

"Young lady, look, it's the little sixth son!"

Bai Zhi recognized it sharply, pointed to the family and said with some excitement.

Dou Lianyi patted Bai Zhi's hand and motioned for her to call Xiao Liuzi over, while she herself walked back to the porch to take shelter from the rain.

Bai Zhi hurriedly answered "yes", and trotted all the way to call Xiao Liuzi over.

"Young lady, the servant asked!"

Xiao Liuzi followed under Bai Zhi's umbrella, and as soon as he saw Dou Lianyi, he cleverly stepped forward and said loudly.

"Don't worry, your clothes are soaked."

Dou Lianyi took a bowl of hot ginger soup from Yuzhu on the side and handed it to Xiao Liuzi, and motioned for her to go and get a new set of clean clothes.

"Thank you, young lady!"

Xiao Liuzi hurriedly took it, and after drinking it in three or two sips, he hurriedly said: "The young lady is looking for the slave has already inquired, his name is Li Ke, and he is the child of a distant aunt of the second miss. ”

Li Ke.

After Dou Lianyi silently recited this person's name in his heart, he didn't forget to tell Xiao Liuzi: "If this person appears in the mansion again, you must come and tell me." ”

"Don't worry, young lady, if there is a new person in the house, it must be nodded by the second housekeeper, and it just so happens that the second housekeeper and the slave also have some personal relations, and they will inevitably reveal some rumors to the slave."

Dou Lianyi nodded.

When Xiao Liuzi went down to change his clothes, Bai Zhi asked with some curiosity: "Young lady, why did you suddenly find this person?" ”

"During this time, you and Yuzhu should pay more attention, this person is afraid that it is Lu Lianzhi's person."

A little rain drifted in from outside the corridor and wet Dou Ripple's cloak, she turned around and walked back into the house, took off the cloak, frowned and continued: "Yesterday he sneakily followed me all the way, and I don't know what he wants to do, in short, you all cheer up. ”

Hearing this, Bai Zhi and Yuzhu glanced at each other, and replied clearly: "Got it, young lady." ”

Although it didn't rain again for the next few days, the sky was always overcast and gloomy, and Dou Lianyi had no idea of going out.

Fu Qing would come over every day to say goodbye, sometimes he would bring fresh gadgets he made, sometimes he would buy some sweets from the street, and occasionally a few people would drink tea in the courtyard and gossip a few words.

I don't know if I lost face on my last birthday, and the old lady and Lu Shangxuan didn't bother Dou Ripple again.

Only once when she inadvertently glanced out of the courtyard, she happened to see Lu Shangxuan walking towards the place where Dong Ge'er lived with a girl.

Although the girl hung her head and wore a veil on her face to cover her face, Dou Lianyi still recognized the person as Lu Lianzhi at a glance.

Dou Lianyi couldn't help but sneer.

Lu Shangxuan looked over as if he had sensed something, and after the two glanced at each other from a distance, Dou Lianyi looked away indifferently and turned back to the house.

Seeing this, Lu Shangxuan frowned, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.

"What's wrong, brother?"

Lu Lianzhi saw that Lu Shangxuan froze in place and didn't move forward, so she looked at him suspiciously.

Just saw Dou Lianyi's distant back, and a slight uneasy premonition faintly appeared in her heart.

"Nothing, let's go."

Lu Shangxuan didn't want to say more, he withdrew his gaze, smiled at Lu Lianzhi and said.

However, Lu Lianzhi began to think about it by herself, and the more Lu Shangxuan didn't say anything, the more uncomfortable she became.

Dou Lianyi was not curious about what was going on outside, and most of the time she sat quietly by the windowsill by herself, reading and studying the medical books she brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bai Zhi, who was once brought in with tea, quipped: "Young lady, you take it so seriously, are you still afraid that someone in the house will poison you?" ”

"I don't know, but one day it will come in handy."

Dou Lianyi didn't raise his head, and responded casually.

Unexpectedly, she really became a prophecy.

A few days later, the sky that had been gloomy for a long time finally cleared, and Dou Lianyi called Bai Zhi to change into a goose-yellow dress with a corseted waist, and a milky white cloak with wide sleeves on the outside.

"The young lady seems to be in a good mood today."

Bai Zhi said with a smile while combing Dou Lianyi in a delicate bun according to her words.

"After being stuffy in the house for so many days, people are going to get moldy, and it is rare to be able to go out to breathe, and naturally the mood will be better."

Dou Lianyi smiled, raised his hand and picked up a jade apricot hairpin on the table, and a few strands of tassels shook a few times in midair.

After some makeup, Bai Zhi helped Dou Lianyi out of the courtyard, ready to go to Fu Qing to sit there.

There are a lot of rhododendron trees planted along the road, and as soon as the weather warms up, the branches are crowded with pink and white flowers, which looks very cute.

"Young lady, this azalea is blooming so well, do you want the slave maid to ask someone to pick some and make pastries into cakes?"

Seeing that Dou Lianyi was in a much happier mood, Bai Zhi, who was following beside him, smiled and said.

However, Dou Lianyi shook his head and said in a serious tone: "No, this azalea looks beautiful, but it is actually not low in toxicity, if it is eaten by mistake, it will cause death." ”

"So serious!"

Bai Zhi was taken aback, and quickly retracted the hand she wanted to pick the flowers.

"Especially...... Who's there! ”

Dou Lianyi was halfway through his words, but he suddenly heard the "click" sound of stepping on a broken branch not far away.
