In winter, it gets dark early, and after noon, the surroundings are full of twilight, and the gloom is pressed down. The courtyard was quiet, separated by the flower hall, only Hongming and Mama whispered in the ear room.

The fire dragon in the house is burning very vigorously, and there are several delicate red plums inserted in the glazed white long-necked porcelain bottle, and the light fragrance is dyed by the heating, which is refreshing.

I looked up at Fourteen, his expression silent, his eyebrows furrowed, and a little annoyed. He wanted to speak and stopped, and only said in a half-loud voice: "The people in the Sifu Jin Mansion, you don't move around." I didn't understand, and said with a smile: "The fourth sister-in-law treats me very well, is there a reason for this?" "I was worried that Rose would be unhappy under Concubine De's nose, so I thought about taking her back to the house in person.

But he didn't want to bump into Ailian, and he hated Rose and Ailian's jokes several times. He really couldn't guess what Ailian's idea was.

I don't know how to explain it to Rose, and I really can't open my mouth. He was stunned for a long time, reached out and stroked the broken hair of Rose's sideburns, and said: "When you get better in the future, you will naturally understand, now don't ask why, just listen to the master's words, okay?" His tone was soft, and his eyes were filled with deep helplessness and worry.

The affairs of the court were enough to worry him, and I didn't want to become a burden to him, so I smiled: "Okay, I won't ask, I'll listen to you." Fourteen suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, patted his forehead like a kitten and a puppy, and said, "That's good." After Li finished taking a nap, she was sitting in the room embroidering a handkerchief, and the small door creaked on the floor, which frightened her.

Seeing that it was the close-fitting girl Gui Fan coming in, she exclaimed angrily: "I'm going to die, I'm scared to death." Gui hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "The slave and maid should die." The slave and maid are in a hurry, so they will make mistakes, please forgive the master. Li was in a very good mood at this time, so he didn't think about it carefully, and said, "But the master has passed the word?" The master didn't say to let go, Gui Fan had to keep kneeling, she replied: "Just now Fujin asked someone to pass the word, let the master prepare well, and said that De Niang Niang Ming'er would summon the master." Li's hand was sluggish, and said, "De Niangniang wants to summon me?" This is really weird! He said: "Can Fujin enter the palace today to ask for peace?" Gui Fan replied: "Back to the master, Fu Jin is the palace that he entered with Fu Jin on the side of the year. Li nodded, had an idea in his heart, and said: "Bi'er in the Fujin house on the side of the year is familiar with you, you ask, what is going on." The master has an order, and Gui Fan does not dare to disobey, and says: "Yes, the slave and maid obey the order." "Bi'er is Ailian's personal maid, although she is stupid, but after following Ailian's for so many years, she vaguely knows a little.

But she was very afraid of Ailian, for fear of getting into trouble, and she had a bit of a taste of foolishness, so she was obedient to Ailian's words and obedient.

Gui Fan asked her to probe the wind, she thought about it for a while, and then added fuel and vinegar to Gui Fan what Fu Jin said in front of Concubine De, and when Gui Fan left, he immediately entered the house and bowed to Yu Ailian, and said: "Look at Gui Zhang's appearance, I'm afraid that there will be a good show in Li Gege's yard." Ai Lian hooked her lips and smiled, "You are clever." Bi'er said obediently: "It's all taught well by the master." Ai Lian got up and took out a sandalwood box from the big cabinet, untied the wrong gold and copper padlock, took out a pair of jasper willow leaf-shaped earrings from it, handed it to Bi'er, and said, "This pendant is worthy of your name, you should be rewarded for your good work today." Bi'er understood, took it with both hands, and said happily: "Thank you for the grace of the master." Ai Lian looked at her with her head held high and said, "As long as you do well and listen to me, you will be rewarded in the future." Bi'er knelt down on the ground on both knees, kowtowed, and said: "The slave and maid respect the master in everything, if the master has an order, just open his mouth and go to the soup and fire, and the slave and maid will not hesitate." Seeing her eagerly showing her loyalty, Ai Lian was very proud and smiled: "Very good." "Early the next morning, the sky cleared, and I got up early on the 14th morning, for fear of disturbing my sleep, so I put on my clothes lightly.

After eating, he called Minqiu again and advised: "Fu Jin's body looks good, but it's not really good, the medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor needs to be taken three times a day, if Wei Wei loses her temper and refuses, you have to persuade her well, don't indulge her." Min Qiu smiled and said, "Don't worry, the fourteenth master will definitely keep an eye on Fu Jin and take medicine." Fourteen snorted, walked out of the mansion, stood on the cornerstone, and said to Anan: "You don't have to follow into the palace today, go to Xiangyuan to see the situation, and tell Yu Zhu that she is limited to leave the capital before the year." After a pause, he said: "Let the concierge keep watch, no matter who it is, as long as it is a person from Xiangyuan, don't let Fujin know, and drive out directly." Anan was worried and said, "If Yu Zhu is forced to be anxious, what should she do if she goes around preaching about Fujin?" Fourteen's face was colorless, the sky was not yet bright, and a few cold stars hung in the air, shimmering.

Anan looked at him and suddenly understood. Fourteen said coldly: "If she doesn't want to live, let's talk outside." With that, he got on his horse and went away.

Anan knelt down and waited for the fourteenth guard of honor to disappear before getting up. She is now in charge, and there are several servants, guards, and girls around to send her.

She used to be a fool, and she knew that the women in the brothel were also very righteous. She was even a little worried about Yu Zhu, this woman, smart and stubborn, under the strong pressure of Fourteen, still refused to give in, as if she didn't know that she was hitting a stone with an egg, and she wanted to die and break the net.

Anan wants to persuade Yu Zhu to go against the royal family, and there will be no good results. She didn't take anyone with her, and went to the incense garden alone.

The originally lively incense garden has been very deserted recently. The surroundings are covered with the secret sentinels of the fourteen factions, and even the welcoming servants in the concierge have been replaced by fourteen people, and they all say that Yu Zhu is sick and does not see guests, which cuts off Yu Zhu's business in disguise.

When the spy commander saw Anan coming, he thought that Fourteen had something to say, so he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and said, "Nan is in charge." Anan also returned the salute and said, "The master asked me to say a few words to Yu Zhu, where is Yu Zhu now?" The commander replied, "You came too early, and the people in the courtyard rested late, and no one else got up except the kitchen cook." Anan didn't dare to delay too long, and said, "Order someone to tell her to get up, I have something to say to her." The Commander agreed, turned and gave orders.

It didn't take long for someone to come and say, "Miss Yu Zhu, please go in." "Anan has been pretending to be a man for a long time, and she has already acted like a man, and sometimes she enjoys it, being a man is high and has an inexplicable sense of superiority, especially in front of women.

Besides, there is no need to puff powder and honey, no need to comb your hair bun, and you don't need to pay attention to your demeanor from time to time.

Yu Zhu curled his diagonal bun at will, Zhu Hai faded completely, and only a newly twisted green plum was twisted on the side of his ear. She was wearing a small forged red short jacket, accompanied by a plain white soft forged Ruyi pleated skirt, refreshing and transparent, like a small jasper coming out of the boudoir, without any wind and dust.

She blessed herself slightly, and said, "Please say hello to Nanzhang." Anan couldn't bear to look at it a few more times before he said, "No courtesy, you are thinly dressed, go inside and talk." Yu Zhu said softly: "Nanzhang is polite, please come in." She spoke softly, her eyebrows were affectionate, and even Anan couldn't take her eyes off it.

Entering the flower hall, Yu Zhu took off his jacket again and changed into a brocade green rose pattern tight-fitting coat, which lined his figure gracefully.

Anan thought to himself that if he was really a man, he would not be able to talk about it. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then said with a straight face: "What am I here for, I don't think I will say, you also know in your heart." After a pause, he continued: "According to the meaning of the master, I want you to leave the capital before the New Year." The smile on Yu Zhu's face disappeared suddenly, his eyes were red, and he trembled: "It's just a matter of demolishing the incense garden, and let me leave the capital, what is the reason?" I saved Fu Jin, and I didn't hurt Fu Jin, how could he be so unreasonable? Anan saw that she was excited, so she stopped, and waited for her expression to ease before saying: "This is a matter of Fujin's reputation, and the Fourteenth Master has to do this." Yu Zhu frowned and snorted, and said, "You must know that I shouldn't have saved her in the first place" Anan knew what Yu Zhu was talking about

Who does "she" refer to, and hurriedly shush: "Don't talk nonsense, your courtyard is full of people from the Fourteenth Mansion, and when it reaches the ears of the Fourteenth Master, there will be another turmoil." Yu Zhu could hear that Anan took pity on himself and was willing to help him, so he begged tentatively: "Nan is in charge, I promise you, I will never tell you about the fact that Fujin once lived in Xiangyuan, and the people under me will never say it, you help me beg the Fourteenth Master, don't pursue this matter, okay?" "As long as it is about Fujin, the Fourteenth Master will be extremely sensitive and calculating.

Anan stared at Yu Zhu with worried eyes, and said sincerely: "Actually, you should plan and plan well, demolish the incense garden, leaving the capital may not be a good thing for you, is it not good to live a safe and honest life?" Find someone to marry, a stable life, even if there is no glory and wealth in the second half of your life, it is better than rolling in the wind and dust. She poured out her heart and lungs, even the tip of Yu Zhu's nose was sore, and two lines of tears fell, but she said with a smile: "Why haven't I tried?" But in the end, it's all in vain. Anan felt that she was very similar to herself, and felt more and more sympathetic, so she took out a brocade from her cuff and handed it to her, saying, "Don't cry, you have to cry with good makeup." He chuckled again: "Don't worry too much, no one helped you before, but now with the help of the Fourteenth Master, as long as you leave the capital safely, the Fourteenth Master will promise you anything, and you can do anything." Going to a place where no one knows you, going incognito, getting married and having children is really the best thing in the world. Yu Zhu took her handkerchief, wiped her tears, and her heart moved slightly.

She has seen so many men that she can't count them, but she has never met a man who hands a handkerchief for herself, is as careful as the man in front of her, and talks to herself about the lifelong events of the second half of her life.

She wiped away her tears, looked at Anan, and almost couldn't help but say: "If Nan is in charge, will she marry a dusty woman as his wife?" ”...
