To catch a thief, to catch a phoenix first

"Lilac, Xiao Gao."

The sky is full of clouds, and the maple falls with frost.

In an instant, looking back, I saw the beautiful woman smiling slightly, wearing a clean moon white dress, which made her look like a fairy descending to the mortal world, unrestrained.

It turned out that Wen Wanmeng sent Wen Nongmo away first, and saw the two of them staying in the backyard for a long time, worried that something would happen, so they came here to check the situation.

Walking far away, I saw the little girl like a mountain elf, swinging the swing with her legs dangling almost into the clouds, and when the swing fell, I clearly saw the light smile in her eyes.

She shouldn't have endured so many unhappy things.

Now that the two have reconciled, Wen Wanmeng felt relieved, walked a few steps closer, stood behind Shi Xianyu, and slowly pushed the swing for her.

Wen Wanmeng looked ahead, thoughtful: "Is everything settled?"

Shi Xianyu nodded vigorously, his little head bumped up and down: "Thank you shopkeeper, Ding Xiang and Xiao Gao have turned enemies into friends!"

Listening to her exaggerated words, her pale lips curled up quietly.

……

Chinese New Year is coming.

Flying Qiong on the Ni Festival, Luan rides to make jade, and is far away from the flat clouds and weak waters.Qian Haohe passed on the letter, and Aunt Wei called out.Don't wait for the dawn of Fenhe, take advantage of Yeyue and Yaosheng's flying rings.The donkey is singing, the tea and smoke stove is cold, and the door of the wine booth is closed.

Song Li.Panbi ant.Put the half-hook of the embroidered curtain, and the treasure platform is built next to it.It is necessary to borrow Dongjun, the spring of Baling.Xiaomeng first fell in love with Chu Die, and the early wind and severe cold invaded the quilt.I'm still afraid of covering up the pear blossoms in the deep courtyard, and shedding tears for the old man.

There were lanterns and festoons everywhere, Xiao Gao stepped on a wooden bench, and posted blessing stickers on the door frame, while Shi Xianyu handed him the paste from below.

Since that day when the previous suspicions were resolved, although the two of them could not be said to be in a life-and-death relationship, they still respected each other on the whole, which reassured the Wen family brothers and sisters a lot.

In order to decorate the first-class building, everyone in the upper and lower floors of the building has been busy for most of the day.

Especially Xiao Gao, he likes to join in the fun, even if the shopkeeper doesn't order him, he will run up and down to help with the decoration, he can be said to be the most enthusiastic employee this year.

Wen Wanmeng came in style, the light-colored clothes set her off elegantly and refined, adding a bit of surprise invisibly, but the cold eyebrows made people deterred.

It's a bit cold today. When she got up in the morning, Shi Xianyu put on a fox fur for her to warm her neck so that she wouldn't be cold anymore.

As a personal maid, her daily life was much easier than she imagined. Wen Wanmeng had always done the dressing and washing by herself, and she was not willing to let her do rough work, so she became the most idle person in the entire first-class building.

Occasionally, I checked the mouths of the people in Yipinlou, and found that each of them had more or less heard some secrets about the imperial court, and I became more and more convinced that Wen Wanmeng was the matter of the master of Tianji Mansion.

The first-grade building is crowded with people, mainly dignitaries and dignitaries as guest officials, and it is easy to leak information. It is a matter of course for Tianji Mansion to use this place as its base.

In addition to Yipinlou, Tianxianyuan is also within the scope of Shi Xianyu's guess. As the largest brothel in the capital, all the girls in Tianxianyuan are proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and they can sing and dance well.

This even attracted the self-proclaimed romantic literati, who filled their purses with so much money that they couldn't control their feet, and ran to Tianxianyuan to spend some money and drink flower wine, not to mention how chic and nourishing the young life was.

Once a person is drunk and beautiful, it is easy to say many things that cannot be said in ordinary times. Therefore, Shi Xianyu has always been suspicious of the forces behind Tianxianyuan. At present, the biggest possibility is Tianji Mansion.

Of all the officials in the Hong Dynasty, the one who most needed the Tianji Mansion to collect information was King Han Shi Aoyun. Long before the death of the first emperor, he had already had the heart of disobedience.

Shi Xianyu dared to bet that the person behind the brothers and sisters of the Wen family, betting the entire national treasury, must be King Han.

After Wen Wanmeng approached, she could see clearly that her face seemed tired, and her paleness was not as pale as usual.

Xiao Gao quickly put down what he was holding and jumped off the chair, scaring everyone else.After standing firmly on the ground, he shouted excitedly again: "The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper!"

"Xiao Gao, you can take a rest, let Li Zi and the others do the rest."

"Li Zi is very busy. Anyway, I have nothing to do, so I can help."

Hearing this, Wen Wanmeng nodded, and slightly pursed her pale, bloodless thin lips. It would not be an exaggeration to say that her face was paler than paper, and fine cold sweat was still oozing from the corner of her forehead, condensing into a few small beads of sweat.

Although she is a daughter, she has always been in good health. She has never seen any serious illness or contracted a cold. Shi Xianyu couldn't help wondering, what happened to her face covered in cold sweat?

The tender little hand grabbed her cuff and shook it. The little girl looked worried and said in a soft voice, "Shopkeeper, why do you look so pale? Lilac will take you upstairs to rest for a while, okay?"

The slipped cuffs revealed pale and delicate wrists.

Wen Wanmeng originally came to let Xiao Gao rest for a while, although the Spring Festival is approaching, the weather is getting colder and colder, if you sweat profusely and blow the wind, you will easily catch the cold.

Since he didn't want to rest, she didn't need to force it, and she knew in her heart that some families were ruined.

Every year, the Spring Festival is the busiest time in the entire capital. Although some foreigners have to go back to their hometowns to visit their relatives, they still have no effect on the bustling and lively situation in the capital.

And since taking in Xiao Gao, Xiao Gao will take the initiative to help with the decoration from this time of year. Within a year, this is the time that makes him the happiest.

A day that made him really feel the excitement.

"Lilac, help me upstairs."

"Treasurer, go slowly."

Although I couldn't see where the shopkeeper looked bad, but out of concern for the shopkeeper, Xiao Gao scratched his head with such a big pig's hooves, winked at Shi Xianyu, and motioned her to help the shopkeeper.

Shi Xianyu also helped Wen Wanmeng go upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, Wen Wanmeng gently pushed her hand away, and sat in front of the dressing table with a pale face, her pale face was reflected in the yellowed bronze mirror, her voice was trembling slightly, she looked out of breath. appearance.

"Ding Xiang, go ask them to boil hot water, I need to take a bath and change clothes. Also, take out the embroidered cloth strip under the porcelain pillow for me."

Embroidered cloth, why does she want this?

Shi Xianyu blinked, with a puzzled expression on his face: "Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you? How about Ding Xiang ask the doctor to take a look and prescribe one or two doses of medicine, maybe it will be cured?"

Perhaps it was because she was afraid of hardship that she was unwilling to take the medicine. As a personal maid, she knew the truth about the good medicine, so Shi Xianyu took it for granted that he had the obligation to persuade her to take the medicine.

But Shi Xianyu's guess was only half right. She was indeed afraid of suffering and didn't like to drink medicine, but it wasn't because she was sick, but...a problem that couldn't be solved by taking medicine.

The hair tie was instantly pulled away.

The black and smooth hair is like a long waterfall, hanging down to the waist, and the slender beauty tilts her head. From this angle, only the side face can be seen, and the outline is beautiful: "Lilac, I am not sick... but , I'm having my period."

What is menstruation?

The queen mother passed away early, and the emperor father never really educated her, the men of the Hong Dynasty regarded sunflower water as filthy, and no one in the palace dared to mention any filth, lest they lose their dignity in front of the palace.

Moreover, she is only fifteen years old, has not yet experienced human affairs, and her development has not yet arrived, so she naturally does not know what menstruation is.So he tilted his head and asked in confusion, "Shopkeeper, what is menstruation? Does it matter if you are uncomfortable?"

Before a folk girl leaves the court, she already needs to know how to serve her husband, not to mention trivial matters such as menstruation. It can be said that she knows astronomy from the top and geography from the bottom.

But seeing that Shi Xianyu didn't understand half of it, he just sighed that he was really a golden branch and jade leaf, and he didn't even know what menstruation was.Raw jade needs to be carved before it can become beautiful jade.

Now is obviously not the time to explain. Sooner or later, she will naturally understand this.What's more, Wen Wanmeng didn't know how to explain it at all, so he just said: "Go and come back quickly, one day you will understand."

Hearing this, Shi Xianyu bowed his head and let out a muffled oh, then went out of the room.

She seemed to be rubbing her belly just now, since it wasn't a stomachache, what exactly was the menstrual event?Could it be that King Han specially refined the strange poison of the world in order to control his subordinates?

She hadn't set foot in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and she deeply felt her ignorance, and she never expected that King Han would be so cruel to a weak woman.

It is extremely hateful!

Shi Xianyu gritted his teeth with resentment, walked downstairs angrily, and asked someone to boil the water.When I was about to go back to my room, I suddenly remembered that the wintersweet in the courtyard was about to fall, and it should wither in spring.

There is a law in the prosperity of all things.

"Qing'er, go to the front yard and get some clean fallen flowers. You don't need too many, half a basket is fine."

Mei Xiang is the most suitable for that person.

Almost subconsciously, she called out Qing'er and asked her to fetch some flower petals.

Mei, unyielding, is very similar to Wen Wanmeng's cold temperament.If you pick some clean petals and take a bath with them, on the one hand, it can relieve fatigue, and on the other hand, it can add fragrance.

Unknowingly, she also became so careful.

After listening to her order, Qing'er turned around and went to look for Mei.She also went upstairs and pushed open Wen Wanmeng's door lightly. Seeing that she was lying on the couch and dozing, she walked lightly and went to the bedside to search.

Under the porcelain pillow, there were indeed some embroidered cloth strips. Shi Xianyu picked out the light blue cloud pattern cloth strips and stood by the bed waiting.

After a while, there was a knock on the door, and someone should have brought water.

There was a large sandalwood bathtub in the room for Wen Wanmeng to use when taking a bath. To save trouble, Qing'er moved four buckets of hot water outside the room before knocking on the door to call for someone.

After all, it is inconvenient for men to enter and leave the women's boudoir, and before Shi Xianyu came, Qing'er, as the only girl in the first-class building, basically carried all the water by her.

Don't look at her as a skinny little yellow-haired girl, she is very strong, even Xiao Gao may not have half her strength.

In the past few days, Wen Nongmo also came to chat with Wen Wanmeng from time to time. Whenever he came, Qing'er would enthusiastically strike up a conversation. During the conversation, she could not help showing her admiration for this young master, wishing to do things for him horse.

According to Shi Xianyu's point of view, if they said that they didn't have any tricks in their hearts, she wouldn't believe it even if they were killed.It's a pity that no matter how Qing'er shows his kindness, Wen Nongmo, a wooden man, is always indifferent and only polite.

It should be that the falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless.
