The fragrance of Liang Zhutongren has reached the road

After Meng Fangxia talked with Mrs. Meng, Mrs. Meng called Xiaoqiu in again, praised her very kindly, and then let Meng Fangxia's master and servant go back to Meng Fangxia's yard to rest.

The courtyard where Meng Fangxia lived was some distance away from the main courtyard. She had to pass through the path in the garden of the Meng family and walk through the gate for a month to get there. Because there were only so many masters in the Meng family, each courtyard occupied a large area. After Meng Fangxia walked into the small courtyard, when she saw that there was also a pool with only a few lotus pods and lotus leaves floating on it, she couldn't help thinking: No wonder the original owner didn't have to step out of the courtyard. The scenery in this yard is enough to make her relax.

"Little lady, you are back." Outside the door of the main room, two seventeen or eighteen-year-old maids led several young maids in the yard to salute Meng Fangxia who came in. One of them was wearing apricot clothes. The maidservant with yellow plain makeup and flower beige even stepped forward to hold Meng Fangxia's hand excitedly.

Meng Fangxia knew from her memory that this big maid was Xiuxiu who was most trusted by the original owner, so it was no wonder that she dared to speak up first. Meng Fangxia looked at Xiuxiu carefully, just like the original owner's impression , is a delicate, graceful and exquisite girl, compared with her clear water lotus-like appearance, she is not far behind.

"En." Meng Fangxia responded lightly, and walked into the house.

Xiuxiu was stunned for a moment, she thought that the little lady would run up excitedly to hug her and complain about her hard work outside, but she didn't expect the little lady's reaction to be so cold, maybe it was because she didn't follow her to serve her, she didn't trust herself right?However, the Xiaoqiu chosen by the madam at the beginning doesn't seem to be someone who has the talent for eloquence, otherwise I wouldn't be so relieved to let her go out with the little lady... Xiuxiu frowned slightly, her face was full of vigilance and doubts, and she said coldly Staring at Xiaoqiu who stayed outside the door, he called a few maidservants to bring some water over, and then entered the door to serve Meng Fangxia.

Meng Fangxia walked into the room and looked around. A screen separated the inside and the outside. The bed was inside the screen, and outside the screen was a low round table with six small stools. There were two cupboards and a small dressing table with a brass mirror.

"Little lady, do you want to wash and wash first? The slave has already had the water boiled, and it can be delivered at any time." Xiuxiu came over and asked in a soft voice.

"Alright, ask someone to bring water over for me to freshen up. I see that Dad will probably stay with guests for a night before leaving, and maybe he will have someone prepare a banquet for them later." Meng Fangxia smiled and nodded to Xiu Xiu said.

After Xiuxiu bowed her head to answer, a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes at the same time, isn't it only the young master and the young lady who came back?Why are there other guests in the front yard?Could it be... Mr. Ma?Could it be that the little lady was arrested by Mr. Ma when she went home?When she thought about it like this, she was inexplicably overjoyed. If it was true, Mr. Ma might already be displeased with the little lady. However, there is no possibility of canceling the marriage, and the little lady can only marry Ma At home, she promised herself that she would marry her as a dowry. Doesn't that mean that if she works a little harder, she will have a chance to be favored by the future son-in-law?Although I don't have the status to be the wife of the wife, but it's good to be my uncle's concubine.

Xiuxiu tried her best to hold back the laughter that almost popped out of her mouth, and thought of how she had put so much effort into coaxing the little lady out of the house, just to make the little lady look bad in front of the future son-in-law. The master in-law is the prefect of Kuaiji. How could it be possible to allow a daughter-in-law who has never been married to do unruly things?She originally planned that if the young lady came to visit suddenly, she would try to make some clever tricks to create an image that she once tried to dissuade the young lady from going out, but she was powerless, and worried that the young lady would suffer if she was away. Maybe the young lady would be right I left a good impression on myself, and when the young lady married into the Ma family and wanted to recruit someone for my uncle in the future, my uncle would definitely think of me first. Unfortunately, during this period of time, my uncle never visited the eldest son at home.

Xiuxiu thought about it a lot, but she didn't know one very important thing, that is, Ma Wencai had stayed by Meng Fangxia's side for the past few months, and she had known for a long time that Xiuxiu was a maid who didn't know what it was like to keep her own. .

When Meng Fangxia was sitting by the bed, she had already sneaked a few glances at Xiuxiu who was standing by the screen, and she naturally saw the expression on Xiuxiu's face and the smile that hadn't retracted from her eyes, she raised her eyebrows, She silently guessed what Xiuxiu was thinking, but it was really hard for her to guess what was going on without beginning or end.

After washing and washing, Meng Fangxia changed into a peach red rose-patterned jacket and a moon-white dress. As soon as she sat down in front of the dressing table, Haiqin walked in and bowed to Meng Fangxia, saying: "Little lady!" , Madam just sent someone to pass the message that the master invited Mr. Ma and Mr. Shen to stay overnight, and also ordered the kitchen to prepare a banquet, and invited the young lady to Rongshan Hall for dinner in the evening."

"Understood, I'll go over later, come in first and help me comb my hair." Meng Fangxia looked up at Haiqin in the mirror and said.

"Yes." After Haiqin bowed again, she immediately walked over and picked up the ivory comb on the table, and carefully combed Meng Fangxia's beautiful hair. Beads are complete.

And when Xiuxiu who was standing by the side heard the word Ma Gongzi, her eyes sparkled instantly, she pinched her sleeves and kept twisting them back and forth, so that Meng Fangxia, who had never forgotten to observe her movement, saw her, Suddenly she understood the doubts that arose in her heart just now: Was she guessing at that time whether Ma Wencai came back with us?Hmm... Maybe you can still guess why it came?

However, Meng Fangxia, who was very wicked, did not bring Xiuxiu to Rongshan Hall, but walked out of the door by herself, looking around the yard for Xiaoqiu's figure.

"Xiaoqiu! Come here quickly! Come with me to Rongshan Hall to accompany the distinguished guests for dinner." Meng Fangxia shouted as soon as she saw Xiaoqiu coming out of the servant's room at the other end.

"Little lady? This..." Xiaoqiu always thought that after returning to Meng's house, she would be considered retired, and Meng Fangxia would think of her chances again. She didn't expect to see her just after changing clothes and coming out. Meng Fangxia called her to stop with a smile, and asked her to go to Rongshan Hall to serve, but seeing Xiuxiu's face slightly changed, she still hesitated to go forward.

"I told you to go, do you still have an opinion? Follow up quickly, if you go too late, be careful to come back and punish you for copying books." Meng Fangxia went out as soon as she finished calling, and after stepping through the courtyard gate, she found Xiaoqiu Did not keep up, and immediately shouted again.

"Oh! The servant girl will come right away." Xiaoqiu shrank her neck, braced herself, tried her best to resist Xiuxiu's slightly resentful gaze, and walked out quickly behind Meng Fangxia.

Although Meng Fangxia returned home for only two or three hours, it was enough to make Xiuxiu feel that the little lady who used to be her is no longer in her eyes. Xiuxiu walked to the corner outside the west wing with a sullen face. , followed by a little girl.

"Xiaotao, sneak into the kitchen later and ask Aunt Zhou to see if any major events have happened in Rongshan Hall, and ask her if she knows who is that Mr. Shen who came back with Mr. Eldest?" Xiuxiu suddenly He opened his mouth and whispered a command to the little maid standing beside him.

"Sister Xiuxiu, don't worry, Xiaotao will definitely be able to ask you very detailed questions, but... Sister Xiuxiu, why do I feel that the little lady has changed a lot after going out this time? And it seems... I don't like you very much? Yes Didn't Xiaoqiu speak bad things about you to the little lady when you were outside?" Although Xiaotao was born in a family, she was selected from Zhuangzi. But what about the second steward in the front yard?

"The little lady may have been separated from me for a long time, and I haven't been as familiar as before. Let's talk about a girl bought from outside the house. Forgive her for not having such good skills! But I have to be careful, when the little lady comes back. , if you find a chance to seduce Xiaoqiu, see if the little lady has encountered anything outside." Xiuxiu bit her lips for a while, then said with a cold face.

Haiqin stood not far away and watched Xiuxiu talking to Xiaotao, but her expression was indifferent. At the end, she sighed softly, and walked away from the yard silently. It seemed that she was walking in the direction of the servants of the Meng family. In the place where the relatives live, it turns out that Meng Fangxia's original owner's nanny, Hu Nai, has not appeared yet, and I don't know if she has never heard the news of Meng Fangxia's return or what?

"Mother Hu, are you at home?" Not long after, Haiqin came to a small courtyard and didn't go in, but raised her head and asked inside.

"Girl Haiqin, why are you here? Come in and have a cup of tea." A middle-aged woman came out of the room when she heard the sound, and made a gesture to welcome Haiqin in with a smile.

"Mother Hu, why don't you come over today? The little lady is back, and she just went to Rongshantang to accompany Mr. Ma and the master for dinner. I'm afraid I will ask about you when I come back, so hurry up and take care of it." Right." Haiqin said with concern.

"Hey? The little lady is back? When did it happen? Why didn't anyone come to tell me?" Mother Hu was taken aback for a moment, then quickly turned around and went inside to sort out. After a while, she changed into neat clothes and came out with Hai Qin walked quickly towards Meng Fangxia's yard.

On the way, Haiqin whispered to Nanny Hu again: "I haven't seen you coming here. I think it's probably because Xiuxiu didn't ask anyone to invite you on purpose, right? I think the little lady doesn't like you in her She is restrained by her side, and if I don't see you when I come back now, there must be more reason not to let you into the courtyard to serve, so I came here to find you at this time."

"Xiuxiu, that damn girl, relying on the little lady's trust in her, she instigated the little lady to know what to do. You saw the little lady just now, but she was thin, right? I don't know how much I suffered outside, alas! Let me tell you..." Mother Hu thought that Xiuxiu must have followed Meng Fangxia to the front for dinner, so she babbled what was in her heart without any scruples, never thinking that she would see Xiuxiu sitting on the steps as soon as she stepped into the courtyard , saw her come in and sneered disdainfully.

"Where did I slip away to hide when I was Haiqin? So I went to invite Hu Nanny? It's a pity that the little lady has never mentioned Hu Nanny in a word since she came back. Wait, don't annoy the little lady again." Hu Nanny is good." Xiuxiu mocked Hu Nanny insinuatingly.

"No matter how bad my old lady is, she has raised her for a few years. Can she lose her temper with me? If it's really hard to see, it's a decent thing to go back to my wife and let my old lady go back to take care of her. It's better than those who don't know their identity. People, I'm afraid I don't know what will happen someday." Hu Momo replied unceremoniously.

"You!" Xiuxiu stood up angrily. She was thinking of swearing at Nanny Hu to relieve her anger, but suddenly thought of Meng Fangxia's cold treatment to her after she came back, and thought of how Meng Fangxia treated her in the past. No matter how much Xia didn't like what Nanny Hu said, she still respected her a bit, so she immediately took a rest, snorted heavily, then turned and walked to her room.
