Mrs. Pin, one of the Red House

Xiangyun is a good teacher, let alone Ning Yun asking for help. She picked up the jug, poured a glass of warm pear blossom wine, took a sip, and immediately started talking.

These remarks, from Zixiu to Guxiu, from Li Taibai to Yi'an Layman, from the bright sky to the snowdrops rolling down.

"You can say it." Lan Yun listened intently, and couldn't help but smile. She doesn't like poetry very much, especially when Xiangyun can't do it. gone?"

Xiang Yun's face suddenly darkened, and Ning Yun looked at Lan Yun, but the latter acted like a younger sister who cared about her elder sister, showing no flaws.

Xiangyun's eyes widened, "Left and right will just follow my aunt's order to do business." Then he asked in a somewhat dissatisfied tone, "However, I have never seen my beloved sister embroidered a handkerchief, it seems that some aunts work."

Lan Yun's expression froze, and he was a little dumb. After a long time, he said: "Big sister, you are usually careless, and sometimes you are too careless."

Xiangyun snorted coldly.

Ning Yun shook his head secretly.

Ordinary families, with the same upbringing as a concubine and a daughter, are a source of gossip, not to mention the duke's family that everyone is staring at.

Especially the daughter-in-law does the work of the aunt.

The second aunt was a fan of the game, and what she did was too obvious.

"Why is it so dark in the room?" Lan Yun was holding the embroidery book, and wanted to finalize the pattern on the embroidered clothes with the embroiderer. Who knew that before turning a few pages, he felt a little dazzled, and happened to have nothing to say to Xiang Xiang. Yun had no choice but to change the topic with this remark, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Ning Yun glanced outside, "It's snowing."

A few servant girls came over quickly, turned on the wick, and the room became much brighter.

Xiangyun clapped his hands, and propped his chin in frustration, "This year is abnormal. Since the twelfth lunar month, there have been few days of sunny days. It's annoying."

She turned around and forgot about the unpleasantness.

"Why didn't you say that this summer is also extremely cool?" Lan Yun asked back, then turned to talk to the maid named Qi Zhu, "What time is it now?"

Qizhu turned to the outside room, and came back with a smile after a while, "If you go back to the girl, it's twelve o'clock since the clock struck."

"It's already this hour?" Lan Yun was a little surprised, got up and went out to take a look, and walked back embarrassedly, "If you don't pay attention, it's already noon."

When Lan Yun said this, Xiang Yun really felt a little hungry, and his stomach grumbled loudly, making both Ning Yun and Lan Yun laugh.

"Why don't you eat at my place, it's lively even if there are many people." Lan Yunguo broke his mouth.

It has been snowing and windy these past few days, Mrs. Tai has already ordered all the girls to eat their own food in the room.

Before she finished speaking, Xiangyun clapped his hands and laughed loudly, "Just wait for my sister's words."

As he spoke, he was amused by his rapping.

But Ning Yun said: "I heard that there is a cook in the second sister's room who can make pastry. The mille-feuille cake is soft and sweet, and it melts in the mouth. It's a pity that I don't have such a good fortune. There are more cakes today. Take a bite and tell the kitchen to prepare other food."

Lan Yun quickly said: "It's okay, why don't you tell them and send the things here." She held Ning Yun down, and told Qi Zhu without hesitation, "But did you hear me clearly?"

Qizhu was blessed, and went to inform the kitchen without mentioning it.

Although Ning Yun wanted to talk to Bin Lan earlier about the things he had ordered earlier, it was not easy to help Lan Yun's face at this time, so he had no choice but to follow Lan Yun's wishes and agree to stay.

##

Lanyue Pavilion.

Wang's news is well-informed, Shi Nai and Shi Ding brothers are indeed talking in Lanyue Pavilion.

Several maidservants in ivory-red vests with a one-foot-wide silver border served freshly brewed tea, bowed and retreated, closed the door, and retreated far away.

Bin Lan walked around from a distance, and saw a row of maids standing in the corridor with their hands down, with the windows tightly shut, so she stopped in her tracks.

She waited for a while, but the window was still closed.

Seeing the closed window, Bin Lan felt so stunned when a stone fell to the ground and never came back, she secretly let out a long breath.

After all, this is the third master. She is a servant, or a servant who was ordered by the master to eavesdrop.

It is false to say that you are not guilty.

Bin Lan looked behind and around to make sure that no one was paying attention to her, so she planned to follow Ning Yun's instructions and go back to the small yard in the kitchen.

Who knew she just took a step, and with a creak, the red casement window opened in response.

The Biying gauze was blown up by the wind and flew in the air, hazyly covered with snowflakes, giving it a special beauty.

The third master was dressed in a blue straight lapel, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. Because he was born as a general, his expression was more or less evil.

With a sullen face, eyebrows frowned, lips pursed, looking preoccupied.

And, as luck would have it, he was standing at the window.

Bin Lan took a deep breath, and secretly squatted under the window sill not far away, carefully inquiring.

She didn't dare to get too close, and she didn't dare to get too far away, so she could only recite the Buddha's name in her heart to protect herself from being discovered.

Shi Nai said leisurely: "Third brother, is this what you think? It's ridiculous, extremely naive."

When he spoke, he deliberately lowered his voice.

Shi Ding let out a long sigh, and said, "Even if Dong Fangfang looks like a phoenix, she's not a phoenix. Even if she puts on that layer of clothes, it's just an act of demeanor. If you want to bet on her, You also have to think about the consequences."

There was a bit of contempt in the words, even Bin Lan could hear it.

"Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter if it's true or not. Whoever is in the seat in the end is the serious matter. Those things that don't matter are useless even if you think about them," Shi Nai said.

"Don't you understand this truth?" Shi Ding turned around, "Now at this moment, it's not like you don't know that the limelight is on the rise, so you made a bet, but you went all the way to the dark and hit the south wall, and you can't turn back."

"It's fine if you win, but what if you make a wrong bet?"

Bin Lan's heart trembled.

"I just want to advise you, a good bird chooses a tree to live in." Shi Nai said, his tone was resolute, "The four princes and eight princes are all one, and they have always been. It doesn't matter who has soldiers in their hands, the most important thing Yes, who holds the power in their hands."

Shi Ding was silent for a moment.

"Let me think again, second brother, no matter what, listen to me, what you think of as a good tree is not the sycamore tree you think of. The Zhen family is now the icing on the cake, who knows what will happen in the future?"

"There are so many people in the historian family, even if you think about your mother, you have to think twice before acting."

Shi Nai snorted, "I'm afraid of the head and the tail, fortunately you are still a general."

Listening to the conversation, Bin Lan felt a little frightened, and even her legs shook unconsciously.

She pinched the clock, and when the time finally arrived, she hurriedly got up and left.

She walked in a hurry, and inadvertently startled the crow on the tree. With a croak, it spread its wings and flew high, suddenly tearing apart the tranquility.

Shi Ding was born as a general, with sharp eyes and ears, when the sound came out, he immediately poked his head out and shouted: "Who?"

In response to his shout, a dead branch trembled and fell, and with a bang, thin snowflakes flew and mixed into the sky, forming a whole.

Shi Ding had a lot of blood on his hands, and at this moment he suddenly felt a little terrified.

He is somewhat superstitious, especially in the theory of omens.

Could this be an omen?

God willing?

Qi Zhu received Lan Yun's order, and was about to go to the kitchen, but who knew that she ran into Bin Lan head-on.

"Binlan? Why are you here?" Qizhu quickly stopped Binlan.

Bin Lan's face turned pale, and she said out of breath, "Oh, Miss San told me to tell the kitchen what I want to eat for lunch today."

Qizhu smiled and said: "Look, isn't this a coincidence?"

But I have some doubts in my heart.

Look at the direction it came from, it doesn't look like it came from the third girl's residence.

She explained the cause and effect, and dragged Bin Lan to the kitchen.

Qi Zhu gave Sister-in-law Liu the orders from Lan Yun for the dishes, and stepped aside so that Bin Lan could give the orders of Ning Yun.

Bin Lan mechanically repeated what Ning Yun said.

What she is thinking now is what Shi Ding said.

And the origin of these words is all nonsense, but it makes people chill.

I can't figure it out, I have a headache.

Qizhu keenly observed Binlan's strangeness, but didn't say anything or ask anything.

They are all maidservants of wealthy families, and they learned early on what to ask and what not to ask, what to know and what not to know.

The two went back to Lan Yun's residence in silence all the way.

Seeing Binlan come in, Ning Yun raised her eyebrows, Binlan nodded without showing any signs, stepped back and lowered her head, and stood behind Ning Yun just like in the past.

Xiangyun was holding his chin, staring at the chessboard in a daze.

This is the third time that she has been completely killed by Lan Yun.

Xiangyun really couldn't think of a way, and threw the chess piece away in anger, and shouted: "I don't want to play, I don't want to play anymore, both sides are losers, I admit defeat, love my sister."

Lan Yun turned his eyes and smiled, a little smug.

"Your chess moves are the same over and over again, how can you win?" While cleaning up the chessboard, she disdainfully analyzed why Xiangyun lost to Xiangyun.

Ning Yun had no choice but to smooth things over, "Okay, it's just for fun. If you win or lose, it's just a smile. There are so many arguments."

Xiangyun has always been big-hearted, so he dismissed this matter indifferently.

Lan Yun gave Ning Yun a serious look.

At this time, the maid in the kitchen brought the food, and the few of them ate a meal with three different thoughts before going away.

Ning Yun made an excuse, saying that he wanted to go back and take a bath, but Lan Yun couldn't stay, so he got out of Lan Yun's room.

After exiting Lan Yun's courtyard gate, Ning Yun grabbed Bin Lan, walked a few steps quickly, and opened the distance with the maid behind her, before asking in a low voice, "What did you hear?"

Bin Lan repeated to Ning Yun exactly what she heard.

After hearing this, Ning Yun's heart sank.

Since ancient times, as long as there is a battle for the reserve position, either win or die.

There is never a third way.

Ning Yun looked up at the flying snow all over the sky, the snow fell heavily, just like the day her stepmother hanged herself from the beam.

The Li family is also a thousand-year-old family, and has been appreciated by the holy grandfather. In the end, the birds flew, the stones were smashed, the jade was buried, and the building suddenly collapsed.

The riches and honor splashed into the sky are just a dream in Nanke, and when you first wake up from the big dream, panic is just a joke.

Today's historian is just the second Li family.

She stood in the midst of the flying snow, until the coldness soaked into her heart, then said to Bin Lan in a low voice, "Go back."

Whether she likes it or not, she is no longer Li Xin, but Shi Ningyun.

But as long as this is her life, Shi Ningyun's life, she is the one who has the right to decide her or Shifu's future.

Ning Yun's hands slowly closed, and the snowflakes falling on the palms melted into a pool of clear water.
