Good intentions were struck by lightning.The ladies were aggrieved, and they didn't want to be "well-wishers", let alone offend Li Haitang, but they couldn't help themselves.Li Haitang didn't say anything more, and instructed Yang to send the ladies away.Whoever wanted to know the identity of the strange boy she brought back would come to the Pavilion to ask her in person.The ladies were on the verge of a great honor, and they hurried away after thanking them for their kindness.Before leaving, Mrs.
Wu did not forget to quietly stuff something for Yang Yan's sister-in-law, even if she was struck by lightning, she recognized it.When Yang Yan's sister-in-law came back, Li Haitang had already bathed and changed her clothes, lying on the kang in the West Warm Pavilion on the first floor and peeling chestnuts to eat."
Big girl, this is what Mrs.
Wu gave to the old slave."
There was nothing strange about a box of rouge, and when Yang opened the lid of the box, she smelled a faint medicinal fragrance.She was puzzled and said, "What did Mrs.
Wu mean by sending this thing?"
Is the use of rouge box to fill the end of medicine to remind the big girl to beware of rouge poison recently?
”Li Haitang threw the small gold ingots that he had been playing with for a long time to Yang and said, "Send it to Wuxin Courtyard."
Now the little son of the Divine Doctor Family is in the Wuxin Courtyard, and he happens to use it to test Little Brother Ye's medical skills. ”Sister-in-law Yang was stunned and said, "The Ye family of the divine doctor?
When did the eldest girl know the people of the Ye family?
”"It's been a long time."
The chestnut begonia peels off the chestnut shell and puts the chestnut kernel in its mouth to eat sweetly.Seeing Yang Yan'er waiting motionlessly, she sighed and said, "Little Brother Ye is Brother Leng's apprentice.It was Brother Leng and Little Brother Ye who stole Aunt Lan in the collapsed abandoned courtyard in the backyard earlier, and kidnapped me away. ”"Oh, I remember."
Yang Yanchang suddenly laughed, knocked her head, and said, "Look at my broken memory, I have forgotten the old things." ”"Old things?
How can you say it is so old, it was obviously more than half a year ago. ”Li Haitang held the basket of ripe chestnuts in her arms, leaned cross-legged against a few windows to watch the busy old women and little maids in the yard, and ordered: "In the evening, there is a banquet of five-flavor opera, and you, Li Yan, and Liu Erniang lead the whole courtyard to eat and drink well, don't let down my heart." ”Yang Yanyan wrapped the rouge box with a handkerchief, and asked inexplicably: "Why did the eldest girl invite the slaves and maids to a banquet?"
Is something bad happening?
”Li Haitang smiled with relief, tilted her head to look at Yang Yan, and praised: "Those who know my heart, Yang Yanchang is also."
As you might expect, there will be a bunch of troubles coming to your door from tomorrow.I want all the people in the cabinet to work together, and no betrayal of people and things will be allowed. ”"Don't worry, eldest girl, I, Sister-in-law Li, and Erniang Liu will keep an eye on everyone in the Pavilion."
Yang Yanchang solemnly promised.Li Haitang shook his head and said, "Even though Li Yanyan and Liu Erniang are caring people, I still don't worry about them.I only believe in you, Qingluo and Mai Miao in the Pavilion.You and Qingluo have a stable temperament, I am most assured.It's just that Mai Miao has a strong temperament, and I'm really worried that she will be used, not only will she harm everyone in the Pavilion, but she will also not benefit. ”Yang Yanchang is also worried about Mai Miao, this girl is obviously brave and resourceful, but she has a pair of rectums, her temper is fierce and fierce, and she doesn't rub sand in her eyes.It's okay to stay somewhere else, but it's really not appropriate to be in this dangerous place."
After tomorrow, I will enter the Porcelain Source Hall to discuss matters and take charge of the clan, ceremony, and business affairs of the eight major clans.This peaceful and tranquil Pavilion will become a place for everyone to see in Ciyu Town, and my words and deeds and those of you will be visible to the public.Trouble will also get into trouble from time to time, attracting more juniors. ”"The eldest girl is thinking that I will ask the master to send a more appropriate person to replace Mai Miao, lest she be unable to control her wild temper and implicate the eldest girl."
Yang Yan's aunt always felt that Mai Miao was not suitable to stay in the Xiqiao Pavilion, and it was Haitang who stopped her from telling Zhuge Yi before.Now it is different from the past, entering the porcelain source hall is really in charge of the lifeblood of the eight major clans, how many eyes are staring at Li Haitang and making mistakes.In case the begonias are in danger because of the wheat seedlings, I'm afraid even Zhuge Yi can't do anything.Li Haitang was also worried, and she began to think about whether the old women and the big maids in the pavilion should also replace a few."
You go and send the rouge box to Wuxin Courtyard, and tell the master that I'll come later."
Li Haitang peeled off all the sweet chestnuts in the basket and put the yellow chestnuts into a clean cloth bag."
Big girl, the slave has something to tell you."
Mai Miao's voice came from outside the door, and she seemed to be in a depressed mood.Li Haitang hesitated slightly, and said softly: "You go and pour a cup of tea, and then come in." ”"The slave maid is here to bring tea."
Mai Miao whispered, not lifting the curtain to come in.waited until Li Haitang responded "Come in" before quietly stepping in with tea in both hands."
Did you hear it all?"
Li Haitang took the teacup and took a sip of warm tea.She often heard Li Yanchang and Liu Erniang praise Qingluo for being careful and steady, but she didn't know that the person who was really careful and thoughtful was Mai Miao.She likes herbal tea the most, but her body can't eat too cold.Therefore, when Mai Miao is not busy, she will hide in the small tea room on the second floor to cook tea and cool it.Dry two bowls of tea at a time, and if she wants to drink it, she will send one bowl over; If she doesn't ask for tea, the two bowls of cold tea will be poured out, and two new bowls of tea will be dried, and the cycle will start over and over again.Mai Miao's private actions have never attracted attention, and she does not compete for favor.Li Haitang kept her good in her heart and was grateful.But the future is full of dangers, and she is indeed reluctant to fall into the foreseen danger.Li Haitang pulled Mai Miao to sit on the edge of the kang and said, "I am a person who lives in a cage, and I will not be free for life."
Today's Pavilion is a cage, and tomorrow's Porcelain Source Hall is another cage.I've come and gone, but I've just gone from one cage to another. ”"Sister Mai Miao, I know that she really cares for me and protects me.Why don't I want to love you and protect you?
Sister Qingluo is a stuffy gourd, and she can bear it if she is pitted.You're a powder canister that crackles and explodes if you don't like it. ”"Sister Mai Miao, listen to my advice.I would like to invite you to a more important place than to stay in the Pavilion. ”Li Haitang pulled Mai Miao closer, whispered in her ear, and handed over another thing she planned to Mai Miao to do.Mai Miao was originally unconvinced, but now she feels even more aggrieved.She can't compare to Qingluo's stability, but the eldest girl used to praise her cheerful temperament, and she was not allowed to change.Now I feel that she is a drag and want to drive her away, saying that it is a very important thing to give her.Li Haitang patted the back of Mai Miao's hand and said, "Sister, I really didn't want to drive you away."
The Cold Night Valley is more important to me than my life, and you must defend it for me. ”"It's just a mountain col, how important can it be?
Don't lie to me, girl, I'm not a three-year-old. ”The more Mai Miao spoke, the more aggrieved she became, and her tears couldn't stop flowing.Li Haitang rubbed his slightly aching head, leaned on Mai Miao's ear and whispered: "Master built Zhuangzi in the Cold Night Valley, I want you to go to Zhuangzi to be a female steward and take care of some very important things for me." ”"What's that?"
Mai Miao asked in a low voice.Li Haitang grabbed Mai Miao's hand and wrote the word "handle" in the palm of her hand, and curled her five fingers into a fist, as if clenching the two words to keep it a secret.Mai Miao looked at Begonia in confusion, not understanding what the "handle" that Begonia was referring to.However, since Begonia believes in her so much, she will never live up to it."
Good.Big girl, I promise you, I am willing to leave the Pavilion. ”"Sister Mai Miao, thank you.I will be grateful for your kindness for the rest of my life. ”Hugging Mai Miao, Li Haitang exhaled for a long time, and finally could implement the next plan.Hope is the icing on the cake, not disrupting Zhuge Yi's original plan."
Big girl, when am I leaving?"
Mai Miao is a quick temper and does what she says.Li Haitang smiled slightly, her pretty little face appeared sly, she held Mai Miao's fist and said, "Don't worry, wait for us to put on a big show for them to see, and you can go out openly." ”() Glory to the end
