Guogong Mansion, East Garden, Orchid Garden.

At this time, the twilight is four, and the afterglow of midsummer burns a large area of the sky of the capital like a fire.

Su Nianxi sat on the swing frame entwined with wisteria flowers, slowly looking up at the burning clouds floating beautifully and triumphantly.

While listening to Mama Feng's words.

The eldest lady has reprimanded the second lady and punished her to go back to her yard to reflect on herself. Remembering that the county lord had just recovered from a serious illness, the doctor instructed him to recuperate quietly, and that it would not be too much to disturb you and make you uncomfortable from labor, so he asked the slave to bring your favorite lotus root candy cake to visit. ”

As he spoke, he saw that Su Nianxi still looked at the clouds above him casually as if he hadn't heard her words, and his face was slightly stiff.

Where did she come back before, didn't this little hoof greet her with a smile? It's strange these days, I dare to put on a show like this, didn't I take the wrong medicine?

With a smile on his face, he presented the invitation again, "There is also an invitation sent by the Liang Palace, and the eldest lady asked the slave to send it to the county lord." ”

An invitation to the Liang Palace.

Su Nianxi, who was looking at the clouds, finally retracted her gaze and turned her face.

The golden red light of the sunset smeared on her delicate face, like a layer of flowing rouge, making her first blooming stamen-like eyebrows and eyes suddenly have a layer of bewildering beauty.

Mama Feng's heart trembled when she saw it-how could she be so sick that she became such a disaster that overwhelmed the country and the city? No wonder King Liang did not hesitate to hold a banquet in order to succeed!

Bi Tao took the invitation and sent it to Su Nianxi.

Su Nianxi's toes lightly clicked, slowly swaying the swing, looking at the invitation, the scene of the previous life floating in front of her, she was drugged, in order to avoid the chasing King Liang, crashed into Shen Moling's arms.

She curled her lips and smiled, and asked lazily and coquettishly: "I don't know Princess Liang, why did you send me this invitation?" ”

Mama Feng hurriedly smiled: "It is the eldest lady who sympathizes with the county lord and guards filial piety at home too hard, thinking that if you are stuffy for a long time, I am afraid that your body will be stuffy." I also heard that there were a lot of girls of the same age as you in the lotus viewing banquet, so I said that I should take the county lord with me, just to make friends and relax. ”

Distracted?

Su Nianxi's smile spread to the corners of her eyes—is it true that she is going to be sold?

Moving his toes, he asked slowly, "Is the second aunt only taking me alone?" ”

Mama Feng was stunned.

Su Nianxi smiled again: "It is the lotus appreciation banquet of King Liang's mansion, and it is boring for me to go alone, I might as well let Erniang and Sanniang go together, and I can also socialize with the family." ”

Mama Feng saw Su Nianxi's condescending and noble appearance, she was a little surprised in her heart, and responded with a smile, "It's still the county lord who is thoughtful, and the old slave will go back and tell Madame." ”

After speaking, he didn't leave in a hurry, and after waiting for a while, he found that Su Nianxi really didn't plan to reward her today, and the smile on his face disappeared suddenly!

After blessing Fu with some displeasure, he withdrew from the Orchid Garden, and happened to meet Xia Lian who was walking back.

Xia Lian walked straight over as if she didn't see her.

Mama Feng's face froze, she turned around, and glared at Xia Lian viciously, not wanting to meet Su Nianxi's gaze from Su Nianxi, who was looking up from the garden, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze and left in a hurry.

In the courtyard, Xia Lian walked to the swing and bent her knees, and said, "County Lord, as you expected, after Lu Qiao returned to the house, he went to the eldest lady's place. ”

After a pause, he said, "According to your instructions, the slave maid passed on the matter of your appointment to meet the second son of Song to the Spring Rain Pavilion. ”

Chunyu Pavilion is Su Xiuqing's current residence in the Guogong Mansion.

After Xia Lian finished speaking, she didn't hear a response, raised her eyes and saw Su Nianxi looking at herself directly.

She laughed and asked slowly, "County Lord?" ”

Su Nianxi saw Mama Feng's eyes looking at Xia Lian, and then remembered that in her previous life, Mama Feng had moved to marry Xia Lian to her gambler son.

For this reason, she deliberately took advantage of Xia Lian's bath to ask his son to pretend to be drunk and break in, Xia Lian broke the beast's leg in anger, and Mama Feng stole the chicken and rice, so she yelled that Xia Lian had to marry her son.

The Su family's big house also put pressure on her, wanting to use Xia Lian's reputation to contain her. In order not to embarrass her, Xia Lian took a knife against her neck on the spot.

Su Gao was worried about causing death, so he gave up. But Mama Feng and her son hated Xia Lian from then on, and when she was calculated by the Su family to become Shen Moling's confiner, they drugged Xia Lian and humiliated her.

In the previous life, she didn't hear about it from Su Xiuqing until after Xia Lian's death.

I hate that she didn't notice it at that time......

Now that I think about it, looking at Xia Lian's smiling and bright eyebrows in front of me, I once regretted that I suddenly split my chest like a sharp sword, and even my soul was torn apart.

Her eyes were sour, and she rushed over and hugged Xia Lian to death.

Xia Lian was startled, afraid that she would fall, so she hurriedly hugged her, feeling the obvious trembling of the delicate girl in her arms, and her brows suddenly wrinkled.

There was a sudden look in his eyes, and he looked at Bi Tao, who was also frightened next to him, "What did Mama Feng say?!" But it scared the county lord! ”

Bi Tao's eyes widened and she shook her head again and again, "I didn't say anything!" looked flattering and flattering, and sent snacks. ”

Bi Tao also walked over as she spoke, seeing that Su Nianxi's face was slightly pale like a spring moon, and she was also anxious, "The slave maid went to find the doctor, isn't it that the illness of the past few days has not yet recovered......"

"Bi Tao, you don't have to go."

Su Nianxi raised her head, but refused to let go of Xia Lian, she just wrapped her neck around her neck like a coquettish and said softly: "I'm just hungry, Xia Lian, I want to eat the cherry Biluo you made." ”

Xia Lian's sharp eyebrows and eyes suddenly softened, and listening to this tender and delicate voice, her face was full of smiles.

Holding her and nodding, "Well, the slave maid will do it for the county lord." What else does the county lord want to eat? When Qiushuang comes back, I'll let her ......"

Before she finished speaking, Su Nianxi rubbed her shoulder socket again and shook her head, "If you don't want her, I'm going to eat what you made." ”

Xia Lian looked at the childish county lord, and her heart almost softened into a ball of water.

The county lord used to think she was strict, and he didn't like to be close to her, he only liked the two who could talk well in autumn frost and winter snow, and he didn't want to be closer to her and the gentle peach after a serious illness a few days ago.

Although she didn't know why, she was extremely happy in her heart.

smiled and touched the back of her neck, sensing that it was a little wet, and said to Bi Tao: "Wait for the county lord to wash and change clothes." ”

He gently said to Su Nian, who was clinging to her: "The county lord is weak and easy to sweat after his illness, and although it is hot now, it is not easy to blow the wind. Go wash and have dinner just in time. The slave maid will make you noodles and fish soup to eat, fry half-burnt eggs, and add a little pickled capers from Zhang Niangzi, okay? ”

Su Nianxi responded happily, then turned around and went to the clean room with Bi Tao.

Xia Lian stood in place, watching Su Nianxi until she was gone, then she turned around, looked at the lotus root cake on the small table next to her, picked it up and sniffed it, and frowned.

After thinking for a while, he instructed the little maid to take away the snacks, and asked, "Have you sent a letter from Autumn Frost and Winter Snow to say when you will come back?" ”

……

Clean room.

Su Nianxi leaned against the bathtub and stretched out her white arm to let Bi Tao scrub it.

The warm water soaked through the delicate skin, condensed like a pearl of dew, slowly paddled to the chest, and walked downstream, melting into a pool of sparkling water within the collarbone.

Su Nianxi squinted and asked lazily: "Bi Tao, I remember that you and Qing'er in the front yard are acquaintances?" ”

Bi Tao nodded, "The slave maid and she are fellow villagers, and they were sold into the mansion together when they were young. The slave maid was lucky, so the county lord took a fancy to it and served in the inner courtyard. She now works in the laundry, and occasionally the slave maid goes to talk to her. ”

Su Nianxi nodded and said, "Later, you can go to her and bring her a few words." ”

Bi Tao raised her head, and after listening to Su Nianxi's words, the surprise on her face gradually turned into horror.

"County Lord......"

Even her voice trembled, "Qing'er, unexpectedly, unexpectedly, ......"

Su Nianxi patted her hand, "Go and tell her that if you can do what I tell tomorrow, I will avenge her." ”

Bi Tao's eyes widened, looking at the county lord's face that was white and red with water.

It is clear that in front of Xia Lian, she still looks like a delicate and cute little girl, but what is revealed in her eyes now is like a night girl poking out from the bottom of the water, behind the mist like a veil, those eyes are quiet and crazy, gentle but dangerous.

It's like being grabbed by Bi Tao, and her back is numb!

Sensing Bi Tao's panic, Su Nianxi did not hide it, turned around, leaned out of his upper body, and the delicate back of the frost and snow appeared behind the mist.

She lifted her wet hand and touched Bi Tao's face.

Said softly, "Don't be afraid, Bi Tao." I will not allow anyone to hurt you again. ”

Again?

Bi Tao only felt that the water vapor around her body was like a spider web, and the wisps drilled into her nose.

She smelled the rich scent of the county lord's dew.

As if bewitched, he nodded, "Yes, the slave maid will listen to the county lord's orders." ”
