She turned her head, Xiao Yanxing came back from her contemplation at some point, and was raising her eyes to stare at her: "Put on your shoes and socks." ”

Wang Shu: "...... Master, can you please not speak suddenly, my soul was almost scared out by you. ”

Xiao Yan walked over and handed her the socks.

His posture was messy but not embarrassed, and this man's composure was engraved in his bones. Even in temples, the privileged class is different. Xiao Yanxing said that it was Qing Xiu, but the wing room where he lived was equipped with a earth dragon. It's burning warm, and you can't feel the cold winter outside the window at all. Wang Shu looked down at his hand, one of her shoes hanging from his finger.

Her slender fingers hung on her shoes, which made her shoes a little like those worn by children.

Silently took it and put it on, and one of Wang Shu's legs stepped onto the window lattice.

The window is not very high, about 1.2 meters high. With Wang Shu's height, turning over is not a problem at all. However, before she could push her legs over, her body lying on the lattice suddenly took off. She was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw Xiao Yanxing with two hands through her squeaky nest, holding a cat and a puppy and lifting her whole person.

And then, she was easily lowered to the ground.

Wang Shu: "......"

The night was getting darker, and the sky was snowing heavily.

Wang Shu stood in the heavy snow, wrapped in Xiao Yanxing's clothes, and turned her head to look at the closed window.

Xiao Yanxing had already closed the window from the inside, and the slender shadow was reflected on the screen. He was walking slowly, his slender figure in the flickering candlelight, but the shadow could clearly glimpse the person's appearance and dust. The cold air rushed from his mouth to his throat and into his lungs, making Wang Shu shiver. Wang Shu once again felt deep regret in her heart......

…… Xiao Yanxing is really damn good-looking! It's a pity that it's too expensive to provoke.

The cold wind whistling in his ears made people's hearts cold, Wang Shu wrapped himself in a big hat, and ran to the small door of the back wing.

The carriage was already waiting in the back hill, and the magpie was sticking its head out and looking around. Seeing a figure similar to Wang Shu rushing over, she hurriedly rushed over with an umbrella to block it for her.

The An brothers also followed quickly, and Wang Shu got into the carriage and hurried down the mountain.

In any case, the results of this 'treatment' were generally satisfactory.

At least the Qincha, who had been ordered to come, confirmed the rumors of Zhongyang after smelling the smell of the house. Impotence does not exist. Otherwise, even medication is useless. Qin Cha only did things, and did not study in detail the whole process of the abolished prince's 'cure'. After all, he is now a commoner, no matter how noble he used to be, no one takes him in his eyes now. To come to this trip, all you need to do is get a bad result for the saint.

Not to mention how Xiao Yanxing would deal with this humiliation, it was already three days since Wang Shu's carriage returned to Xiao's house.

Heavy snow covered the roads, and the carriage was very difficult.

Cold and tired on the way, she returned to the house in a daze, and fell asleep.

I don't know if he was retributed for doing something 'hurtful to heaven and reason' to Xiao Yanxing, this night, Wang Shu, who had always slept well, had a hard time sleeping and had a messy dream all night. She had always been a pure and good person, but this night's dream was full of all kinds of unsightly images.

When she woke up the next day, she was more tired from her sleep than from nothing. My body ached as if it had been restructured. My head is also groggy. I opened my eyes, my eyelids were heavy, and I couldn't lift my energy.

opened her mouth to call the magpie, and found that her throat was dry as if she was about to tear a word, and she couldn't make a sound in pain.

The magpie came in with tea.

walked over quickly, lifted the bed tent and helped Wang Shu up.

After a few drinks, her throat finally recovered a little.

The magpie hurriedly helped her lie down, and softly comforted: "Xiaojun, you had a cold and fever last night. Mama Yuan has already gone to ask the doctor for the pulse, and the slave will go to see if the medicine is decoctioned. ”

After that, the magpie tucked the quilt for Wang Shu, and hurriedly went to the ear room next to it to bring medicine.

Wang Shu leaned against the bedpost and let out a long breath, and put her heart down again. She said, well, how can it be so easy to make you dizzy, it turns out that she is sick. She said that it was impossible for her to be obsessed with Xiao Yanxing, it turned out to be this, no wonder she had a strange dream all night.

After drinking the medicine handed by the magpie, Wang Shu threw away the strange thoughts in her mind, and lay down and fell asleep with peace of mind.

Don't look at Wang Shu's slenderness, her body is actually quite strong. I have hardly ever had a few illnesses since I was a child. However, it is rare to get sick, and the situation is a little serious. She thought that she would be able to live again after drinking medicine for two days, but the wind and cold made her lie in bed for four or five days. But fortunately, there is nothing else to do in the winter, and the illness can be regarded as giving her a chance to rest.

Qinghe Town was watched by the old men of the Wang family, and there were also people staring at the affairs of the dart game, there was no emergency, and Wang Shu was idle during this time.

After the Liang family was executed, the Lin family, who was taken back to his mother's house half a year ago, rushed to Xiao's house on a snowy day. The man was dressed in plain clothes, and before he could say anything, he knelt down and cried. Not for anything else, but for mourning.

The concubine of the abolished prince, Lin, contracted an illness on the way back to Beijing to serve the sick. I thought that I would recover after a period of time, but I didn't know that after returning to Beijing to recuperate for a few months, I couldn't resist the torture of illness after all, and I had gone. The old lady of the Lin family couldn't withstand the blow, her condition worsened, and she was in danger. The head of the Lin family begged Xiao Yanxing to give him a grace at this time, so that the bones of the Lin family who died early could remain in the Lin family.

Xiao Yan was not in the house in Linshui Temple, and the message was reported to Mama Yuan.

Mama Yuan didn't say anything for a long time after listening to the Lin family's words, but her eyes were fixed on the Lin family. The Lin family's face changed from sad and depressed at the beginning to gradually stiffened, and they were at a loss: "...... Please also ask Mama to ask that person. ”

There is no need to say some things too thoroughly, and it was expected that the Lin family would 'die', but Mama Yuan still felt cold.

Originally, I thought that the only one among the nobles in Beijing in these back houses who had a sincere intention for their lord was the side concubine of the Lin family. Now it seems that sincerity is not worth a few taels of silver. After staring at the Lin family in silence for a long time, Mama Yuan replied coldly: "You don't need to ask the master for this matter, I can get back to you for the master." Ye has always been magnanimous and will not embarrass others in this matter. ”

The Lin family didn't see Xiao Yanxing, and the next person agreed to a few words, and they felt a little uncomfortable. But on the whole, Xiao Yanxing's side agreed to release the person, and the Lin family was naturally grateful in their hearts.

On the same day, he ran to the Linshui Temple on the mountain, kowtowed outside the temple, and turned back to the capital.

The main concubine is gone, and the side concubine dies of illness again. Xiao Zhai's serious hostess is all gone. Now the few women left in the backyard are all concubines, no matter what their background, none of them are justifiable. The housekeeping power has always been in the hands of Mama Yuan. Mama Yuan felt that it was inappropriate and proposed to let Wang Shu take over. But Wang Shu's own affairs are too busy, where can he concentrate on the back house of Xiao Mansion. Immediately refused.

Xiao Yanxing is not reluctant, and Mama Yuan has always known how to measure and never does anything beyond the norm. The back house was handed over to her, which also reduced strife.

Since the beginning of winter, Liangzhou has been snowing heavily. This is the case in the north, where there is a lot of snow in winter. The snow particles are not as fluttering as in the south, they are all snow particles like sand.

After a night of heavy snowfall, it was covered in snow, and it was very cold.

The new house does not have a ground dragon, and in winter, it is cold and snowy, and it is all about setting up a fire or brazier in the house for heating.

Wang Shu shrank in the house for a few days, so idle that her bones were moldy. She has always been a toss and can't be idle. After a few laps, he still felt uncomfortable, so he pondered to bake something in the brazier and eat. However, in this era, there were no crops such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, and there were few things that could be baked. But it's okay to grill some meat in a brazier, but it's a bit seasoning-intensive.

Thinking about how to roast it, Wang Shu wrapped herself in a silver-white rabbit fur and went out.

Liang's house has been vacant for a long time, but no one in the back house has dared to move to the main house. No matter how much dissatisfaction there was in the hearts of several people huddled together, no one dared to open their mouths. Wang Shu still lives in the outer courtyard, and even if someone thinks that she should move back to the back house, no one dares to care about it. The advantage of living apart is to avoid disputes, and the disadvantage is that it is very inconvenient to go to the back kitchen.

But she had the purpose of coming out for a spin, and she walked leisurely. deliberately picked a small path to walk and loosen your muscles.

Go through the second gate and enter the garden.

Across the garden, the back kitchen is between the garden and the backyard.

Wang Shu didn't have an umbrella, and as soon as the silver-white rabbit fur walked into the snow, it seemed to be integrated with the snow scene. Wang Shu's footsteps landed relatively lightly, and it was impossible to hear it if she stepped on the snow and didn't listen carefully. Passing through the shadow wall, there is actually a plum blossom forest. This plum blossom was transplanted a few years ago, and it has grown very thick since it was planted. Now is the time to bloom, and the crimson plum blossoms are in full bloom in the snow, and the beauty is dazzling and dazzling.

She shuttled through it, thinking of folding a plum blossom and bringing it back, but who knew that she bumped into a pair of familiar masters and servants.

Speaking of which, Wang Shu has also seen several 'peers' in the back house for a long time. Since Lin left Liang and had an accident, the rule of waking up in the morning has been gone. Xiao Yanxing is not often in the house, and there is no reason to compete for favor, so the woman in the back house closes the door and lives her own life. To put it mildly, even if they live in the same house, they haven't met for half a year.

Suddenly met this pair of master and servant, Wang Shu still had a sense of strangeness for a moment.

When he saw the familiar posture clearly, he realized in a trance that it was the two masters and servants of the Yang family.

The two of them stood in the middle of the plum forest in the cold, and the tall maidservant stood in front of the Yang family. Neither of them looked good, and it seemed that there was a conflict over something. But even so, the two are surrounded by a kind of intimacy that no one else can fit into. I don't know what the servant girl said, Yang's face suddenly changed, and suddenly slapped the servant girl in the face.

The servant girl knelt down with a thud, and Yang immediately cried.

Wang Shu was stunned for a moment, stopped in place when she was about to leave, and turned her head.

Xu is accustomed to the fact that there is no one in the Xiao family's garden, and no one will disturb him on a snowy day, so the two have no scruples when they talk. Yang's emotions were so excited that he couldn't help but raise his voice: "Say what you say, say it again!" I'll let you say it again! ”

The servant girl was on her knees, her waist straight. His eyes lowered and stared at the falling flowers at his feet, and he said word by word: "The master needs a child." ”

As soon as the words fell, Yang's tears were like jade beads on the plate, and he shouted: "You say it again!" ”

"Master, you can't mess around with slaves like this all your life. A slave and a maid are cheaply killed. Born like duckweed, it is not worthy of the favor of the master. But you are different, master, you are of noble birth and born so beautiful. Your life should be destined for gold and jade, and glory will be added. You should be a master in this life, and you shouldn't be delayed because of the lowly person of the slave maid......"

The maid goddess was numb, but her tears fell into the snow one by one, and her cheeks were swollen.

"The master is now a woman who can get close. The saint used a good method to cure the master's problem, and the master is a normal man. As long as you want to, for the sake of the lord's face, the lord will definitely give the master this honor...... You should be going for a pet. ”

She slammed her head on the ground, and her words were full of tears: "Master, you need a child......"

"What if you don't have children!"

Before she could finish speaking, Yang interrupted her angrily, "Without children, my life will be ruined!" I only ask you Yao Min! What if you don't have children?! Whether there is protection from that man or not, whether there are children or not, I don't care at all! ”

"You don't care, I care!"

The servant girl raised her head, and the face of a girl and a man was very resolute at this time. Her eyes were red, and she stared directly at the Yang family: "I hope that the master will have a good life in this life, better than when he was a child in the Yang family." It's so good that one day in the future, when the eldest girl and the second girl see their master, they are only worthy of kneeling and repenting of every insult they have insulted to their master in the past. As long as you're doing well. ”

Yang cried out, pointing his finger at the maid's face and trembling violently. She stared at the maidservant, her face as white as paper. A pair of eyes looked at the servant girl who said such words with uncontrollable hatred, and couldn't listen to them at all: "You go!" You let me go! ”

The maid knelt and didn't move, Yang grabbed the hairpin on her head and smashed it at the maidservant: "Tell you to get out!" ”

The tip of the hairpin slashed into the maid's face, and blood immediately came out.

Wang Shu was shocked, and her feet moved slightly. The shoe guessed the dead branch and made a loud noise. The two who were arguing instantly looked around like frightened birds. For fear of being bumped into, the two also shut down and stopped arguing.

The maidservant stood up and wanted to reach out to tighten her clothes for the Yang family, but she slapped her open.

The master and servant walked briskly away from Merlin, one after the other.

……

Although they didn't know what was going on, the atmosphere between the two of them was unusual. Wang Shu vaguely guessed, but he didn't dare to make random conclusions. After all, in the cognition of ancient people, this kind of thing was no less absurd than a disease.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Shu didn't continue to follow, and turned around and went to the back kitchen to find food.

Originally, she wanted to find some meat to roast and eat, but what Merlin saw was so shocked that her mind was completely attracted and she lost her appetite. She couldn't help but recall what she had just seen, and the more she looked at it, the more strange it became. No matter how you look at the words and deeds of the two, it doesn't look like the master and servant are arguing, but like lovers. However, both are women......

went to the back kitchen, Wang Shu only brought back a small pot of chestnuts, and went back the same way.

The two masters and servants of the Yang family are long gone in Merlin, but the traces left by Fang are still there. Wang Shu stood where the two of them had stayed, glancing at the blood on the ground, and brushed the thick snow next to her to cover the traces here.

Back in the house, Wang Shu threw a small pot of chestnuts into the brazier. Holding the tongs in one hand and dialing the charcoal basin, he was stunned.

Xiao Yanxing returned home that night, and the apparent reason was that the New Year was approaching and he couldn't always participate in Zen in the temple. In fact, the matter between Jiangnan and Qiuzi has come to an end, and he can come back to rest for a while.

That night, the mansion organized their first family banquet since they entered the mansion.

I have to say that the master, who has never taken the woman in the back house seriously, finally has the consciousness of being a man. The feeling of giving the woman in the back house is more fright than surprise. At least that's how Yang and Wen feel.

Liu and Mei were a little excited, and when they heard that Xiao Yanxing came back from the temple in the afternoon, they directly took off their usual filial piety clothes and put on bright skirts. Liu's also put on makeup, and his already beautiful appearance was immediately beautiful. Mei also put a lot of effort into cleaning up, and the makeup was also very delicate.

Wen didn't know what was going on in private, and not only did he not see surprises, but he sat on the edge all afternoon. The only one in the whole mansion who didn't take Xiao Yanxing's return seriously was Wang Shu.

This is the first family banquet since the master's accident, and Mama Yuan attaches great importance to it. Ask for everything yourself and try not to make mistakes.

Wang Shu had nothing to do and looked out of the courtyard by the window, and bumped into Mama Yuan resting and leaned over.

Mama Yuan is now more kind and kind, and basically respects Wang Shu as the second Xiao Yanxing. Basically, Wang Shu looked for her, and she didn't shirk it. At this time, Wang Shu came over, and she naturally responded to everything.

“…… Xiaojun is asking Xiaoyao? ”

"Yes."

"Xiao Yao," Mama Yuan didn't expect Wang Shu to be interested in the Yang family's maidservant. "Xiao Yao is different from ordinary maidservants. It's good, why did Xiaojun ask about Xiaoyao? ”

"No, I just bumped into it, and I feel that the whole maid has grown so tall."

"Xiao Yao is a little tall, and that head is not worse than that of ordinary men......" Mama Yuan nodded and admitted.

To be honest, she doesn't know much about this handmaid, but His Highness has told her not to worry about this handmaid. Mama Yuan knew that this maid Yang had brought her into the house from her mother's house. I heard that the feelings are very deep. is nominally a master and servant, but in fact they are like sisters: "But Xiaoyao is not the girl assigned to Concubine Yang in the house, she is the son of the Yang family, and she has been serving Concubine Yang for many years." ”

"Can a concubine also bring a girl into the door?" Wang Shu knows that when a woman marries, a woman with a family background will be ready to marry a maid. I don't know that ordinary concubines can bring girls when they enter the door.
