September is full of flowers

Ning's Prime Minister's Mansion was one of the most powerful families in the Dafeng Dynasty.

One of the three masters, the old man Ning Xiang was the elder of the two dynasties, and he is still a first-rank official in the dynasties, and is highly regarded by the emperor.The eldest son, Ning Zelang, is a member of the household department, Wailang.The second son, Ning Songhe, was originally the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but died unexpectedly, leaving behind a son and a daughter.This son is called Ning Tao, and the other daughter is Ning Hu, the most beloved concubine in the imperial palace.

It's another ordinary day, the Xiang's mansion is incomparably beautiful, with five entrances and five exits, pavilions, towers and pavilions, all of which are exquisite and thoughtful.The decoration of the rooms in the Prime Minister's Mansion is very luxurious.But a small dark courtyard in the northeast corner is dilapidated and old, as if no one has lived in it for a long time.

The courtyard has not been exposed to sunlight for many years. There are two small wells in the middle, one still has water, and the other has been abandoned for a long time.The ground was covered with moss and wet water marks.It doesn't matter in summer, but once it comes to winter, it will be bone-chillingly cold.

Beside the well, a handsome and delicate little man was squatting to wash clothes.Her hair was tied behind her head, the corners of her clothes were a little wet, and her trouser legs were rolled up, revealing her slender and lovely ankles.

She looks about sixteen or seventeen years old, which is the most beautiful age of a woman.

Seeing the scorching sun come up again, although the courtyard is dark, the sultry air can still make people catch the heat.She looked up at the sky, wiped off a layer of sweat from her forehead, and prepared to pack her clothes and wash them later.

"Shen Man, are you going to be lazy?" A female voice came from the front.

Shen Man said inwardly, but he still stood up and said to the pink and pretty figure at the door, "Miss Si, the sun is getting fierce, I will continue cleaning later."

"The sun is fierce?" Fourth Miss raised her head and squinted her eyes, covering a little sunlight with her hand and said, "Why don't I feel that? Are you trying to be lazy?"

"Miss Four, I..."

"Shen Man." Fourth Miss walked over slowly, Shen Man heard her footsteps getting closer and closer, and his heart beat suddenly.This Fourth Miss is not easy to mess with, since she came to Ning Mansion, other people have ignored her, but this Fourth Miss has come to provoke her for some reason.It seems that if you don't come for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over your body.

Fourth Miss stopped beside Shen Man, turned her head to look at Shen Man and said, "Your mother eloped with your father and gave birth to you. Later, both of your parents died, so you found clues and came to Dadu City to join your grandfather. Grandpa took you in regardless of previous suspicions." Let you live in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion has kindness to take you in, and now it only asks you to do a little bit of trivial things, but you are lazy and slippery, tell me, are you ashamed of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what do you do now? Is it right?"

Shen Man said, "Thank you Miss Fourth for reminding, Shen Man knows what to do." After that, he went to the well again, ready to fetch water and continue washing the endless clothes.

The fourth lady of the Ning family is named Ning Chun, but she is not innocent at all.When Shen Man first entered the mansion, just because her elder brothers treated her a little closer, and seeing that her grandfather was also satisfied with Shen Man, she resented Shen Man.Later, because Shen Man was a scandal in the Prime Minister's mansion who could not be treated humanely, she was allowed to live in a corner of the Prime Minister's mansion. Shen Man wanted to be a shadow, and did not take the initiative to communicate with the outside world to please Prime Minister Ning.As time passed, Master Ning seemed to have forgotten about this granddaughter, and the people in the Xiangfu gradually became indifferent to her.

Ning Chun seized this opportunity and came to find fault with this cousin whenever she had free time, taking pleasure in bullying her.

"What are you dawdling about, hurry up." Ning Chun stared at Shen Man and urged.

Shen Man glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and then turned his gaze to a room ahead.After the other yards have been replaced with cool bamboo mats and rolling curtains, this room is the only one that still has a thick quilt covering the door for winter. The room is completely dark, and through the window, one can vaguely see a person lying on the couch.

Ning Chun guessed that the person on the couch was Aunt Liu, the old lady who followed Shen Man to seek refuge in the Xiangfu.

Aunt Liu was already in poor health, and she was getting worse every day when she entered the Prime Minister's house and received cold treatment. She felt that she would die sooner or later. lonely.So he lay in bed all day long, and being able to accompany Shen Man every day was a day.

"Is the old lady still alive?" Ning Chun looked into the room following Shen Man's gaze, walked over and kicked Shen Man and said, "Hey, hurry up and find someone to take her out, lest she die in the Prime Minister's house." You are causing bad luck, you hear me?"

Shen Man's clothes were stained with mud from her shoes, "Miss Si, Aunt Liu needs a doctor's treatment, see if you can tell Uncle to ask him to consult a doctor."

"Tell my father?" Ning Chun raised his eyebrows, folded his hands and taunted, "If you are willing to kneel in front of me and slap yourself twenty times, how about I say something for you and your father?"

She came to see Shen Man feeling uncomfortable, but Shen Man's tepid temper made her anxious.Now that I have something to ask of myself, why not take the opportunity to embarrass her.As for whether she would tell her father Ning Zelang afterwards, that would be another story. If she mentioned it, she would have the name of caring for the elderly and caring for her brothers and sisters. If she didn't mention it, would Shen Man still be able to sue her father?

Just when he made up his mind, he found that Shen Man's eyes were looking at him quietly.For some reason, Ning Chun panicked, as if the pair of eyes could see through her thoughts, and seemed to have made up her mind.

After a moment of silence, Shen Man said, "Okay."

She agreed so simply, without any hesitation, which made Ning Chun a little worried.

"Pa——" Shen Man slapped himself for the first time, and a red palm print immediately fell on his face.

"Papa——" Shen Man's hands were heavy every time, as if he was not hitting his own face, but Ning Chun's.

After all, Ning Chun is still a child at heart. As the fourth lady of the Xiangfu, she has lived in the Xiangfu compound for a long time, and she rarely sees such a fierce scene. How can anyone slap herself so hard? Not shouting stop is not.

The strength in Shen Man's hand did not weaken, and when he hit No.18, his right ear seemed to be buzzing.

"Stop...stop!" Ning Chun's voice trembled a little, his eyes fixed on Shen Man's face, and he said firmly, "You...your right ear is bleeding..."

Shen Man touched her ears, they were a little sticky, looking at the blood on her fingertips, she couldn't help frowning.

"Miss Si, my ear seems to be injured, can you please invite a doctor?"

Ning Chun hesitated, "I..."

"Miss Si, I can be regarded as a member of the Xiangfu after all. When my grandfather saw me, he loved me very much and took me in. Although I haven't seen him for a long time now, it will be his birthday soon. I must see you when the time comes." Yes, if at that time..." Shen Man stopped short.

Ning Chun understood the meaning of her words, and said angrily, "Are you threatening me?"

Shen Man said, "As long as Fourth Miss invites a doctor to treat Shen Man, Shen Man will never tell what happened today. Shen Man only wants to protect himself, and please Fourth Miss be considerate."

Ning Chun thought about it for a while, and said, "For the sake of your blood relationship, I'll just invite you once, not as an example."

Shen Man nodded and said, "Thank you Miss Fourth." The tip of his right finger behind his back was cut at some point, and some bright red blood flowed out.Shen Man secretly rubbed the corner of his clothes to wipe away the blood.

Ning Chun did not break his promise this time, and not long after, a girl secretly brought a white-bearded doctor. The doctor's surname was Wu, and he was a doctor who came to see the servants and maids.

But he said that Wu Langzhong was about to go to see Shen Man's ear, but Shen Man avoided him.The doctor was a little confused, but Shen Man explained with a smile, "To tell you the truth, my ears are fine. I invite you to prescribe a medicine for me."

Wu Langzhong was taken aback, looking at Shen Man's beautiful face, a thought came to his mind: He made an exception and let me come to the backyard of the Prime Minister's mansion when he heard that the granddaughter of the Prime Minister was injured, but at this moment, the little girl is not injured. Could it be that the "injury" she claimed was for me to heal the people in the house?

Shen Man has been staring at the white-bearded old man. There are rules in the prime minister's mansion. People entering and leaving the mansion must be strictly screened, medicines entering and leaving the mansion must be strictly counted, and money entering and leaving the mansion must be clearly and detailed.

She finally invited this person, but she didn't want him to see the people in the house.

"Who is in the house?" Wu Langzhong really asked.

"Her surname is Liu, we call her Aunt Liu."

Wu Langzhong thought for a moment, and said, "If it's Aunt Liu, take me to see her."

However, Shen Man hesitated, intentionally or unintentionally stopped between Wu Langzhong and the door of the house, and blocked, "To be honest, my parents are also doctors, and I know something from my ears and eyes since I was a child. Doctor, you don't need to spend time diagnosing, just follow the instructions I gave you." Fang Zi prescribes the medicine for me and delivers it on time."

"The Prime Minister's Mansion has very strict rules, I'm afraid it won't be as you wish."

Shen Man smiled casually, the blood red on his right ear was extremely eye-catching, "don't worry, doctor, I will never make things difficult for you. Look, my ear is hurt too. Fourth Miss Ning saw it with her own eyes. The prescription I gave is also used to treat trauma, and I will definitely not embarrass you."

Wu Langzhong also heard about her for a long time, and felt pity for her.Xin Dao said that if it was really Aunt Liu in the room, the child would seek medical treatment for her even if she hurt herself, which would be regarded as filial piety.Helping her this time can be regarded as accumulating Yin virtue.So he nodded and replied, "Let's write a prescription and have a look."

Shen Man knew in his heart that he agreed, so he smiled, this smile came from the heart, and the bright smile made a man of Wu Langzhong's age stunned.

In the evening, the door was pushed in from the outside with a "squeak", and a little girl came in with a plate of food. This girl was Shen Man, and she was holding a bowl of hot and freshly stewed medicine in her hand.

As soon as he stepped into the house with his hind feet, he felt a cold light flashing past his eyes, and a burst of fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and then a voice whispered in his ear, but with a hint of danger, "I'm here, what's the matter?" Is there a third person who knows?"

Although the volume of the speech was not loud, but there was a sense of calm and prestige, which reminded Shen Man of his grandfather Ning Xiang who was sitting high on the top.

Why does she, a girl who is about the same age as herself, have the same aura as the prime minister?

Shen Man could feel how cold and sharp the blade was on her neck. At this moment, life and death were only a matter of thought.He stabilized his voice and said, "Don't worry, girl, apart from me and Aunt Liu, there is absolutely no third person who knows."

The people behind did not continue to ask, but Shen Man had already felt the slack of the dagger, took a deep breath and said, "Girl, you are injured, this is the decoction I finally begged for, drink it while it is hot."
