Daiyu of the Red Chamber raised a cat

The Crown Prince's East Palace was completed, and Qin Tianjian selected an auspicious day for the relocation, and asked Ming Sheng to move the palace for the Crown Prince.

Although Li Zhao was not very willing to move Zhou Hang out, but when his son grew up, it would not be good to stay in the palace all the time.The princes have always left the palace to build a mansion after the age of 16. At the age of 16, they can get married and take charge of their own affairs in the royal family.The harem is full of young and beautiful concubines. Recently, some princes and ministers presented a group of beauties to the Supreme Emperor. It is really inconvenient.Besides, the Supreme Emperor has also hinted to let Zhou Hang leave the palace, Li Zhao has to worry about the Supreme Emperor's thoughts even if he wants to stay.

In this way, amidst the emperor's resentment and Zhou Hang's expectation, the day of moving is approaching day by day.

"Brother Prince, I heard that the East Palace is very magnificent, can you take your younger brother to have a look?" Cheng Jie, the fourth prince, held Zhou Hang's hand, praying with his big watery eyes.

"No matter how magnificent the Eastern Palace is, it's not the same as the Imperial Palace. What's there to see? You wander around the Imperial Palace every day. Why haven't you seen the scenery, and why are you looking at it from the outside?"

"Brother Prince, this statement is wrong! I stay in the palace every day, and I am tired of looking at the magnificent and exquisite scenery. How can it be fresher than the East Palace? Besides, I heard that the father used a lot of wood to trim the palace, The stone materials were moved to build the Eastern Palace, and all the skilled craftsmen were sent. Although the Eastern Palace is slightly inferior to the Imperial Palace in terms of construction, it is not as delicate and delicate as one of the hundreds of them, and it is not worse than the Imperial Palace. Wouldn't it be a pity if I didn't go and have a look?"

Zhou Hang laughed and said, "Who did you listen to? It's a bunch of nonsense! What kind of palace has been built in the palace recently? What kind of building materials did the emperor embezzle? letter!"

The fourth prince lowered his head, and said somewhat aggrieved: "My brother is wrong, I shouldn't listen to rumors."

"Okay." Zhou Hang said softly, and called Koizumi from outside to come in.Koizumi didn't go far, just stood outside the door waiting to be called.Hearing Zhou Hang's call, he hurriedly trotted in, nodded and bowed his head and said, "What do you want the master to call the slave?"

Zhou Hang pointed to Li Chengjie, "Go and give the cakes and fruits to the Fourth Prince."

Koizumi promised him and was about to leave when Li Chengjie stopped him and said, "Bring more sweet potato balls and sweet potato cakes!"

Koizumi took the order and left. The fourth prince looked at Zhou Hang and said with a flattering smile: "Brother Prince, the cooks here are very skilled, especially the sweet potato balls and sweet potato cakes, which I will never forget after eating. Brother Prince Show mercy, how about rewarding my brother as a cook?"

One or two asked him for a cook, Zhou Hang smiled: "I just gave the eldest brother one, and you come to ask for it again. I only have a few cooks in total, and you all know how to miss each other." The eldest prince asked for a cook. , more out of the consideration of governance, the fourth prince is a little ignorant person, and he is greedy only for his appetite.The first prince gave them all, and there was no shortage of a fourth prince. With a big wave of his hand, Zhou Hang sent another cook.

The fourth prince was overjoyed, and took the cook away with two boxes of pastries.

At the end of the day, I still haven't forgotten about going to the East Palace, Zhou Hang said that I don't have time today, and when I have free time, I will take him to go shopping.

In fact, Zhou Hang planned to go out of the palace to see the new mansion today.But not with him, but with sister Lin whom he misses day and night.In the previous bet, Daiyu lost to him, so she had to promise him one condition unconditionally.Zhou Hang's condition was to let Daiyu go with him to the East Palace to have a look around, to see if there was something not to her liking, so that she could rectify it according to Daiyu's preferences.

Daiyu's first reaction when she heard this request was to shake her head.It is said that I am a daughter's family, how can I go to see the future husband's mansion before I leave the cabinet, won't people laugh out loud when the news spreads.She asked Zhou Hang to change one condition, but Zhou Hang refused to change it.

Daiyu is a down-to-earth person, she felt that she could not renege on what she had promised, so she was in a dilemma.

In fact, if she really cheated and refused to go, Zhou Hang really had nothing to do.

Zhou Hang gave Daiyu an idea, let her dress up as a boy, and went over to have a look.It doesn't matter if no one tells this matter, no one knows except him.After much deliberation, Daiyu found that this was the only way she could do it, so she nodded her head in agreement.

After dismissing the fourth prince, Zhou Hang couldn't wait to change into casual clothes, and then went out of the palace to the street where the Lin Mansion was located.

He went out alone today, without even bringing an attendant with him.

In the past, every time Zhou Hang went out, there was always a shadow guard by his side. After his birthday, Zhou Hang had applied to Li Zhao several times to remove the shadow guard around him.Although Zhou Hang had repeatedly promised that his skills would improve and he would no longer need the protection of the hidden guards, Li Zhao always refused.It wasn't until Zhou Hang singled out all the hidden guards in front of Li Zhao and defeated these masters one by one that he believed that Zhou Hang had the ability to protect himself, and agreed that as long as he didn't leave the capital, he would not put hidden guards by his side.

Today, Zhou Hang saved himself the effort of finding a way to get rid of those hidden guards who were sticking to him like shadows, and he arrived outside the wall of Lin's courtyard in a short time.

Walking to a side door, he quietly sent the charmer to inform Daiyu, tied up the horse himself, and waited under the edge of the wall.This side door is the closest door to Daiyu's courtyard.Because it's a side door, it doesn't look very impressive, it's just two narrow doors, and there's a woman sitting by the door, occasionally there are a few people coming and going, they're all servants, and they're just second- and third-class maids in terms of clothes , Maid.

After about a stick of incense, Daiyu slowly walked over from the door.

Daiyu, who put on men's clothing, became more and more intelligent, just like the good fortune boy who came out of the painting, which made people's eyes brighten at a glance.Zhou Hang couldn't help but went up to meet him. The woman guarding the door glanced at him sideways, knocked on the ground with her cane and said, "This is Master Lin's mansion, and idlers are not allowed to enter!"

Daiyu used an invisibility talisman, and the mother-in-law had no cultivation and naturally couldn't see her.

So this can only be said to Zhou Hang.

Zhou Hang was told by his mother-in-law, and looked at Daiyu with some embarrassment, but Daiyu just covered her mouth and smiled silently.She didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the mother-in-law, she thought it was haunted.Zhou Hang walked over, grabbed Daiyu's arm, and pulled her out.The mother-in-law had already stood up, looking very angry, and was about to hit Zhou Hang with a cane.The latter hurriedly pulled Daiyu to walk a few steps quickly, put Daiyu on the horse, and galloped away.

Daiyu was still smiling with her mouth covered, but when she got on the horse's back, she froze.The horse was galloping fast. Sitting on the horse's back, she was both nervous and terrified, clutching the saddle with both hands, and dared not breathe loudly, let alone laugh.

Zhou Hang is riding a horse that is famous for thousands of miles.Since it is a famous horse, it must also be somewhat arrogant and proud. It is willing to carry the owner on its back, but it does not like to see others. As if to make Daiyu feel better on purpose, Daiyu's bumped buttocks almost split into three petals. If Zhou Hang hadn't embraced her from behind, she might have fallen off.

Ma'er didn't go directly to the East Palace, but went out of the city gate and went straight to the desolate place in the outskirts.

Daiyu was afraid at the beginning, riding with Zhou Hang, being so close, made her feel very awkward and ashamed.She wanted to get down, but Zhou Hang galloped so fast that she couldn't care about that much at all. She only thought about catching it well and not falling off.

Later, I forgot about my shyness and awkwardness, and just felt that riding a horse was a very enjoyable thing.No wonder men always like to ride horses when they go out. They are quick on their feet and able to appreciate the scenery along the way. It is not as uncomfortable as being bored in a carriage.

Zhou Hang didn't stop until he was on a meadow full of wild flowers in the outskirts, and helped Daiyu off the horse.

Because of the exercise, Daiyu's cheeks were flushed, a thin layer of sweat dripped from her face, her eyes were watery and glistening.It was a kind of excited and excited light. If there was anything else, it might be caught in this point of anger and sorrow.Zhou Hang knows that Lin Daiyu has a soul that likes freedom. Although she was brought up by feudal ethics since she was a child, she is a traditional lady, but deep down, she has a heart that yearns for freedom.And he is willing to fulfill any of her yearning and ideals.

"Today I did something crazy!" Sitting on the grass, Daiyu said while wiping her sweat, her tone full of joy.

"How can this be considered crazy?" Zhou Hang asked.

Daiyu seemed to be still immersed in the excitement of rushing out of the fence, and ignored Zhou Hang's rhetorical question.

"Does Daddy know if he will scold me to death?" She asked half worried and half talking to herself.

Zhou Hang frowned, thought about it seriously, and said, "Mr. Lin may not be willing to scold you, but I will be miserable."

Daiyu thought about it carefully, and it seemed to be true.Since she was a child, no matter what trouble she got into by being mischievous, it seems that her father never scolded her, but just taught her a few words, and there were no harsh words.But if this is the case, she will be ashamed to death. She feels that she has failed too much, and she has no face to see her father again.

Zhou Hang asked Daiyu why she came out, and how she fooled the group of maids who were inseparable from her.

Daiyu said: "The maids who are close to me must not be able to hide it. They only hide it from outsiders. I just said that I am not feeling well today, so I need to rest in bed. Except for Huier, Xueyan, and Zijuan who are close to me, the other ones People can't enter my house. So I ordered Hui'er and Xueyan to be careful for me, and let them guard the house. Don't allow anyone to enter. As for Zijuan, I sent her early in the morning Deliver fruit to my uncle and aunt. Zijuan is very familiar with the people in that mansion, besides, her parents and brothers are also there, and there are many sisters who are familiar with her. Yes. I have already told her to eat there as much as possible and come back after dark. As for Dad, he is busy with work and won’t come back until dark.”

Zhou Hang heard this and said, "Hui'er is cautious, but she is reliable. Xueyan is so evasive, are you afraid that she will screw things up?"

"Xueyan is just playing around, but she can tell the difference between big things, she won't talk nonsense."

Naturally, she knows the temperament of Daiyu's girl best, and Zhou Hang believes that her arrangement is also the most appropriate.But, after thinking about it, Zhou Hang smiled and said, "I thought you would keep Zicuckoo as a cover."

When Zijuan was mentioned, Daiyu couldn't help frowning.Zhou Hang couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"

"Zijuan has always been a little absent-minded recently..." Daiyu paused, glanced at Zhou Hang, and continued, "She is two years older than Xueyan. After returning to Beijing, she has more contact with her parents and relatives. There are some thoughts that I don’t know.”

Zhou Hang said: "So, Zijuan already has one, and it's time to marry someone."

Daiyu also meant the same thing.A few days ago, Zijuan's mother came to see Zijuan. She didn't know what the two of them said. These two days, Zijuan was always on her mind.Probably girls at this age will have their own concerns, and Daiyu thinks that she should not force her to stay anymore. As the saying goes, girls don't want to stay, that's the reason.It's just that Zijuan serves her, and she also hopes that Zijuan can have a good home, that's all, let Li Feng's wife look at her when she goes back, to see if there are any young and promising offspring, if Zijuan likes her, she will marry her Bar.

Zhou Hang said to Daiyu: "You go back and quickly match Zijuan with someone. Since she has such thoughts, it's not a good idea to keep her by your side. She might do something disgraceful."

Daiyu said: "You're right. It's just that she has worked so hard to serve me for a few years, and I can't bear her to match up with a boy casually. I have to pick and choose carefully so that she won't make the rest of her life miserable."

"Even if you have the intention to manage for her, she may not appreciate it. Why don't you return the reward for selling your body to her, and give her some more silver taels so that her parents can marry themselves. In this way, you will be relieved and they will be happy, won't you?" The best of both worlds?"

Daiyu nodded secretly: "That's a good idea."

That's what she decided to do.Now Zijuan's parents are working for Jia She, and when Daiyu returned to Beijing, Jia She asked Daiyu the contract of sale from Zijuan's family to prevent Zijuan from harboring ambiguity towards Daiyu.Daiyu thought, now that Zijuan is let out, she might as well be a good person to the end, and return her family's deed of sale to her, and reward them with some silver and two acres of land, so that she can go to live by herself, which is not in vain for the love of master and servant. .As for Jia Amnesty, it would be nothing if she went to talk about it.

The two rode for a while outside the city, and Daiyu liked the feeling of galloping the horse very much.The wind whistled past his ears, and his temple hair fluttered, blowing on Zhou Hang's cheeks, making him feel a step closer to Lin Daiyu.

After walking around outside for quite a while, Zhou Hang took Daiyu to the East Palace.

The East Palace is indeed luxuriously built, with towering and towering pavilions.The house is repaired with red bricks and green tiles. There are seven gates, nine main halls, seven back halls, nine back bedrooms, and side halls on the left and right.It is divided into middle, east and west roads, each road has three courtyards and a very large garden.In the garden, there are towering ancient trees, countless exotic flowers and plants, strange rocks, clear water and green mountains, pavilions and pavilions, which are ever-changing and unique.

Zhou Hang asked: "Yu'er, look, what else is missing in this garden?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "There are a lot of things, all of which are very good. This garden is worth three of my family's. There are also many flowers, many of which I have never seen before."

Zhou Hang thought for a while and said, "Don't you like bamboo? How about I ask someone to plant a piece of land in the small garden in the main courtyard?"

Daiyu nodded and said, "That's very good."

The two walked to a pond, and Zhou Hang said, "Is it okay to raise koi in the pond? You can feed the fish in this pavilion when you are free."

Daiyu glared at him and said, "Who wants to feed the fish in your house!"

After finishing speaking, he left. Zhou Hang was stunned for a while, and hurriedly chased after him with a smile.

"Yu'er!" He pulled La Daiyu's arm, "Isn't my home your home?"

Daiyu shook her hand and said, "Let go, there are people here, is it nice to be chattering?" Zhou Hang was afraid that she would get angry, so he let go of his hand, still staring at Daiyu, and asked very stubbornly: "You Are you still saying those things that pissed me off?"

But Daiyu refused to answer his words. She walked into the pavilion, looked into the distance, and suddenly pointed to an empty space and said, "Plant plum blossoms there. It's a small hill with high terrain. When it blooms in winter, it will grow old." can be seen from afar.”

The two walked around a few more places, and it was getting late.Because Zhou Hang has not yet moved in, many people in the East Palace have not been in place, and the cook is still in the palace and has not been delivered.Therefore, this meal could not be eaten in the East Palace, so Zhou Hang took Daiyu to the street, intending to find a restaurant with extraordinary craftsmanship.

Daiyu usually has few opportunities to go out, and when she goes out, she is surrounded by maids and mothers-in-law, so she doesn't have the pleasure of playing freely.Today, it was only her and Zhou Hang, who couldn't help lingering when they saw the dazzling array of vendors on the street. They couldn't even care about being hungry.

The two were making a memorial in the street when suddenly a galloping horse galloped towards Daiyu and almost bumped into Daiyu.

Without saying a word, Zhou Hang dragged the rider down.The man was very angry, he swung his fist and wanted to hit someone, Zhou Hang was angry that he almost hurt Lin Daiyu, now seeing such a brutal and unreasonable person, not only became more angry, but also fisted with red eyes.

"Stop!" Just as the two fists were about to collide, Daiyu shouted, "Brother Hang, it's Uncle Sang!"

What?Hearing this, Zhou Hang raised his eyes to look at the person opposite. Although the person looked haggard and disfigured, there was no doubt that it was Sang Sheng.Zhou Hang hurriedly withdrew his punch, turned his head to avoid Sang Sheng's fist.Sang Sheng used a lot of strength, without restraint, was caught by Zhou Hang's dodge, and fell to the ground involuntarily.

At this moment, he looked at the wind and dust, his clothes were scratched in several places, his face was covered with yellow sand, he probably hadn't washed his face for a few days.Zhou Hang secretly thought, didn't he supervise the water conservancy construction in Shandong together with Uncle Xiaohuang? Why did he suddenly appear in the capital and still be so downcast?

"Uncle Sang, are you alright?" Daiyu called out.

Sang Sheng fell to the ground with a scratch on his forehead, looking even more embarrassed.

"It's you?" He frowned first, then his eyes flashed with joy, he stood up and grabbed Zhou Hang's arm, and asked Li Xuke if he was back.

After Zhou Hang asked carefully, he realized that Li Xu and Sang Sheng were having an awkward relationship, and left without saying a word.Sang Sheng searched all over Shandong and found no one. Thinking that he might return to the capital, he rushed all the way to the capital without stopping.Unexpectedly, it was a coincidence that I ran into Zhou Hang and Daiyu as soon as I entered the capital.According to Sang Sheng, he has been so anxious recently that he has not closed his eyes for three days.

Zhou Hang thought to himself, no wonder he looked like a beggar Hanako covered in dust.

Just found a restaurant, Sang Sheng had to leave before he finished his meal.Daiyu stopped him and said, "Uncle Sang, it's not too late before you leave after eating."

Sang Sheng waved his hands and said, "No, I'll go to Prince Jing's mansion first, maybe he's already returned."

"Let's go after eating." Daiyu said, "If foster father wants to hide from you, knowing that you will go back to Prince Jing's mansion, why would he go back to the mansion? Uncle Sang, it's not a solution for you to get angry in such a hurry, it's better Calm down and think carefully about where foster father might go back."

As he spoke, he gave Zhou Hang a wink, and Zhou Hang understood, stepped forward and pulled Sang Sheng back to his seat to finish cooking, put a plate of cooked beef in front of him, and said with a smile: "Uncle Sang, let's eat first, and my nephew will help you after dinner." Looking for someone, how about finding someone for you?"

Sang Sheng glanced at Zhou Hang and sighed, it was a compromise.

Zhou Hang stared at Sang Sheng eating beef, full of curiosity, and finally couldn't help asking.

"Uncle Sang, how did you offend my uncle so badly?"

"Cough cough cough..." Sang Sheng was choked suddenly and coughed desperately.While handing him tea, Zhou Hang said something like being careful and eating slowly, and he became more and more curious about what happened to make the emperor abandon Sang Sheng and run away from home in a fit of anger.You must know that these two people are usually Meng Buli and Jiao Jiao Buli Meng, so it's okay.

However, he knew that Sang Sheng might not say anything to him today, so it seemed that he could only wait for his uncle to come back and talk slowly.

After a quick meal, Sang Sheng left. Before leaving, he told Zhou Hang and Daiyu that if they saw Li Xu, they must tell him immediately, and they agreed.

"Brother Hang, tell me, where will the adoptive father go?" Daiyu asked.

Zhou Hang really couldn't remember where Li Xu would go.After all, he has only known Li Xu for the past two years, and Li Xu was not in the capital most of the time during the two years.If it is said where he will go, I am afraid that Sang Sheng should know the most.Even Sang Sheng couldn't be found, and they couldn't even find them.

However, the emperor's uncle ran away, and now Sang Sheng was looking for him endlessly. Wouldn't there be no reliable people in Shandong to watch him?

After returning to the palace, Zhou Hang told Li Zhao about meeting Sang Sheng by chance, and the latter said, "These two people are making trouble."

Zhou Hang's desire to gossip came, and he asked, "Father, do the two of them often fight?"

Li Zhao frowned, "It's only been two years since I recovered, and it's like this again, the older I get, the more I become a child."

Zhou Hang blinked his eyes, this pair of good friends, are they so bad-tempered, they like to chase after each other when they have nothing to do?When he was in a daze, Li Zhao waved his hands and said, "Don't talk about them, talk about you."

Zhou Hang raised his eyes: "What can I say?"

"Tell me what you did when you left the palace today?"

Zhou Hang held a bowl of tea on the table in his hand, lifted the lid and smelled the floating tea fragrance, and pretended to be careless and said: "I didn't do anything, I just wandered around on the street."

"Just wandering around?" Li Zhao raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you visit the East Palace?"

Zhou Hang put down the tea bowl: "Father, why do you still ask me when you know all about it?"

"Who is that young man you brought with you?"

Hearing him ask this question, Zhou Hang couldn't hide his feelings, so he could only say: "The East Palace is built, son thinks it's new, and wants to go and have a look. Father, think about it, it's boring to see it alone, so the son took sister Yu'er." I also called. Sister Yu'er is the future hostess of the Eastern Palace, so she should go and have a look."

Li Zhao snorted, and said, "You can argue with your words!" The anger in his eyes had disappeared.

Zhou Hang asked with a smile: "Father, how do you know? Haven't all the hidden guards been withdrawn?"

"Why, do you think you're really blind and deaf if you remove the hidden guards?" Li Zhao raised his head, "My crown prince went out to see the East Palace, and brought a little offspring who looked like he was carved from white jade. Shouldn't you know?"

Zhou Hang suddenly realized: "So you didn't know that my son was taking sister Lin with me."

Li Zhao couldn't help laughing, "You have recruited yourself, I know now."

Zhou Hang muttered: "You lied to me about your feelings, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have recruited."

"What did you say?" Li Zhao actually heard it, and deliberately lowered his voice to ask, very sharp and majestic.He thought that Zhou Hang didn't dare to answer directly, and at most he would just play haha ​​to fool him.Who knew that Zhou Hang raised his head, but said in a clear but resonant voice, "I said, if I knew you were cheating me, I wouldn't have recruited you."

"You!" Li Zhao was amused by him, "Okay, you have the guts!"

After speaking, he called out again: "Wei Xing'an!"

Li Zhao wanted to let Zhou Hang talk about himself, so he sent Wei Xing'an out.But Wei Xing'an didn't dare to go far, so he waited not far from the hall, when Li Zhao called out, he hurried in and said, "What orders does Long Live have?"

"Go, call Master Lin Ruhai, and tell me that I have something to discuss."

"Your servant takes orders!" Wei Xing'an agreed and withdrew, Zhou Hang hurriedly stepped forward to hold him back, and said, "Eunuch Wei is back!" Then he said to Li Zhao, "Father, my son knows his mistake, you must be careful." Don't call me Master Lin."

Wei Xing'an raised his eyes to look at Li Zhao, and retreated wisely.

Li Zhao looked at Zhou Hang, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Are you aware of being afraid now? Why didn't you think of this when you kidnapped his daughter?"

Zhou Hang smiled embarrassedly: "I was afraid back then, but if I let my son choose, my son will do the same."

Others may not understand Zhou Hang's words, but Li Zhao does.Even if a person is wise and wise, once he uses his affection deeply, he will do some things that ordinary people cannot understand.Don't say that Zhou Hang is just a child who is not as good as the weak crown, even he, after seeing Zhou Hong, he can't guarantee that he can analyze the problem rationally.

The father and son are really similar, a couple of love.

However, Hang'er is luckier than him, he has a father who can understand him, so the ending should be different.

Zhou Hang smiled and asked: "Father, you are so anxious to ask me, isn't it because you are afraid that your son will follow Little Huangshu and find you a male wife?"

Li Zhao scolded with a smile: "No one is in shape!"

On this day, Daiyu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning in the middle of the night, without falling asleep.Not out of fear or sorrow, but out of excitement.Today, she has done many things that she could never have imagined before, riding horses, going outing, walking up and down the street in men's clothing, communicating with vendors without a veil or veil, her back is pressed against Zhou Hang's chest, her neck You can even feel Zhou Hang's warm breath...

All this not only frightened her, but also made her feel novel and excited.

Although a girl should abide by the etiquette and follow the three obediences and four virtues, but she really likes everything that breaks the etiquette, breaks the rules and regulations.For the first time, she knew deeply that she was a person who didn't like being bound by rules. It turned out that the feeling of breaking through the invisible barrier and flying out of the golden cage was so exhilarating.

Can she do this?

Daiyu asked herself this way.

why not?

She is a monk, she has already transcended the common world, so why should she abide by the so-called rules of the world!

Yes, that's how it should be.Life is not all about penance, women can also live wonderfully.She suddenly felt that her idea was too shocking, maybe even her father would not agree with it.However, it doesn't matter, she is detailed, and dad will understand her one day.

After thinking through these, Daiyu felt relaxed physically and mentally, and gradually fell asleep.

Get up early the next day, the maids are familiar with serving, even Xiao Xia and other second-class maids come in, but Zijuan is not seen.Daiyu was puzzled, but she didn't say anything. After she was fully dressed, Zijuan came over with a large lotus-leaf-style pastel peony pattern tray, and there were two fresh crabapple flowers still dripping with dew on the tray. .

"Miss, the servant girl saw that the crabapple flowers in the courtyard were in full bloom, so she pinched two of them for the girl to wear."

Two light-colored camellias had already been planted on Daiyu's temples, and wearing begonias would be too much, and it would be bad.Daiyu naturally knew it well, so she smiled and said: "These two crabapple flowers are indeed very good, but I have already worn them. You can wear them yourself, Zijuan, or if any girl likes them, you can wear them for them." become."

Zijuan asked Xiao Xia, "Do you wear it?"

Xiao Xia said happily: "Thank you sister Zijuan, I was thinking of pinching more begonias to wear."

Zijuan then handed the tray to Xiaoxia, because she said: "I wonder if breakfast is ready, girl, may I go to the kitchen to have a look?"

Daiyu called her to stop and said, "Just send a girl to have a look at random, and you still need to go there yourself?" Huier ordered Huier, "Send a girl to the kitchen to have a look!" Then she said to Zijuan, "You stay here." Next, I have something to ask you."

Hui'er understood that Daiyu had something to say to Zijuan that it would be inconvenient for her to be there, so she sent someone to the kitchen to ask, and at the same time gave the little girls a wink to tell them to go down.

Xueyan was the last one to back out. She walked up to Huier and asked in a low voice, "Tell me, what do you want to say to Sister Zijuan?"

Hui'er said: "How do I know this? Of course there is a reason for a girl to do this, so let's not ask."

Zijuan's eye circles were red and swollen, and Daiyu speculated that she must have cried last night.Daiyu first asked Jia Amnesty, Mrs. Xing, Wang Xifeng, Xichun and others how they were. Zijuan said that everyone else was fine, but Wang Xifeng had a cold and had a bad cough for the past two days, and she was pregnant again. For medicine, I only asked to make soup with a few things such as pears and Chuanbei, so it must be good for maintenance.

Daiyu went to Rongguo Mansion last month and met Wang Xifeng once. She had severe morning sickness, her complexion was sallow, and her body was very weak.Although she used to be ruthless and did some vicious things, the child in her womb is innocent after all, and Jia She and his wife's eagerness to hold a grandson, even though they didn't say it clearly, how could Daiyu not know?

Daiyu thought that someone would send her some pears produced in space some other day. As for whether the child can be kept, it depends on her luck.

Finally, when talking about Zijuan's family, Daiyu asked, "Are your parents in good health?"

Zijuan bowed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Miss, they are all fine."

Daiyu asked a lot of insinuating words, and then realized that the reason why Zijuan was crying secretly was because her parents showed her a family.The other party is a scholar, the family has a few acres of Susukina, the man has a gentle personality, because he has a certain relationship with Zijuan's father, and Zijuan's father was kind to his family back then, so his family does not dislike Zijuan as a slave Born, willing to hire Zijuan as his wife.

But the maidservant's marriage cannot be decided by herself, so her parents wanted Zijuan to beg Daiyu and let her go out.

On the one hand, Zijuan was embarrassed, and on the other hand, Daiyu treated her very well, so she couldn't say that.But she thinks that if she misses this opportunity, she will only be married to a boy in the future, and she will still be a slave, and even the children of the next generation will be slaves from birth.There is a live-in to take care of them in life, and they may be richer than the small households outside, but their status will never turn over.It's better to hire a decent husband and wife outside. Although they are widowed, they can behave in a dignified manner.

It turned out that Zicuckoo was so sad because of this incident that she was depressed and cried most of the night.

Daiyu laughed and said, "Is this worth your crying? I'm not an unreasonable master. Since you have a chance to go out, why should I not allow you to go?"

Zijuan kowtowed and said: "Young lady treats my slaves very well. I will never forget your great kindness even if I die. These years, my slaves have been serving girls, and their food and clothing have all been taken care of by the mansion. My own monthly money has hardly moved. The rewards from the lady and the master have saved a few taels of silver. I dare not ask the girl to let me go, I just ask the girl to allow the slave to redeem himself."

Daiyu said: "Get up quickly, can I still ask for your money?"

Because I asked Hui'er, Xueyan and others to come in, and asked them to take Zijuan down to wash and freshen up, and gave her some new clothes that I hadn't worn, and told her not to come to wait on her for a few days, so that she could pack her things. In the future, she would send someone to reward her for the deed of selling herself, and send someone to take her home.

Daiyu not only returned Zijuan's prostitution papers, but also returned her parents' papers.Zijuan held the prostitution documents and tremblingly kowtowed to Daiyu. Daiyu ordered Hui'er to help her up, and rewarded her with a pair of gold bracelets, several sets of jewelry, and 50 liang of silver.

When Jia Amnesty handed over the contract of sale of Zijuan's family to Daiyu, he had already handed over the whole family to Daiyu, and naturally let Daiyu dispose of her.Having said that, if Daiyu wanted to let their family out, in order not to hurt her face, she would naturally only give Jia Amnesty.As expected, Jia Amnesty and his wife had no objections.

Zijuan's parents had moved out of Rongguo Mansion two days earlier, and rented three houses not far from the back door, so Daiyu sent someone to send Zijuan there.

Zijuan cried like a tearful person when she left, and many little maids also wept sadly.

Daiyu took her hand and said: "Although you have gone out, you are not in the remotest corners of the world. Come back when you miss us."

Zijuan said "yes" with tears in her eyes, knelt down and kowtowed twice, then followed the people away.

Daiyu looked at the rest of the maids, and told them that if any of you have a good home in the future, don't be embarrassed, just say it out, and she will do her best to fulfill it if she can.All the girls were happy or loyal, saying that they would let the girl and the master make arrangements in the future, and Du Hui'er said that she was determined to follow the girl for the rest of her life.

This is not the first time Hui'er has said this. Although she is gentle, she has a soft and strong temperament. No one can persuade her to make up her mind.Daiyu didn't persuade her very much, she secretly thought that no one can say for sure about the world's affairs, maybe Hui'er will meet someone who makes her willing to spend her life one day, and that's not the idea.

As for Zijuan's future situation, Daiyu only heard that on the second day after she was released, the family asked the matchmaker to tell her, and it was settled within a few days, and the dowry had already been delivered, and Zijuan is now at home Embroidered wedding dress with her mother.

Let's say that Wang Xifeng ate the pear soup brought by Daiyu, and his cough stopped within two days.She should have passed a hurdle of severe reaction, but she didn't vomit very much.Gradually, as soon as the appetite came up, the whole person seemed to be more energetic. The imperial doctor said that the fetus was considered stable, and as long as it was well maintained, there would be no major problems.

Unexpectedly, there will be misfortunes in the sky, and people will have misfortunes and blessings. In an accident, the child was still lost.

It turned out that the weather was fine that day, and Wang Xifeng, who had been bored in the room for a long time, planned to go out for a walk to relax.She didn't dare to go far, so she walked around in the garden, and when she was tired, she planned to sit in a small pavilion in the garden.Unexpectedly, they all walked to the edge of the pavilion, slipped on their feet, and fell down.At that time, I had a lot of abdominal pain, I hurriedly carried it back, and saw blood, I hurriedly called the imperial doctor, when I arrived, it was a miscarriage, and it was vaguely visible that it was an unformed male fetus, so I had to prescribe some warming and tonic prescriptions for recuperation.

Everyone in the family felt sorry for her, and they all advised Wang Xifeng to relax and take good care of her body, and it would not be difficult to have another child.

When Jia Lian went back, Wang Xifeng's face turned pale from crying.Originally, under the persuasion of everyone, he stopped for a while, but when he saw him, he couldn't help crying again.Jia Lian saw that there were no outsiders in the house, only a few little girls in the room, so she went to the kang and hugged Wang Xifeng in her arms to comfort her.

When Daiyu heard about it, she could only sigh softly.After all the pregnancy was stabilized, and this kind of accident happened again, it seemed that Lian's second sister-in-law was destined to be childless, so she couldn't force it.

Zhou Hang met Li Xu in the palace, more than ten days had passed since that day when he met Sang Sheng.

"Uncle Huang, where have you been these days? Uncle Sang is looking for you like crazy."

Hearing Zhou Hang's words, Li Xu frowned, and said bitterly: "Don't mention him to me, you'll be annoyed!" He walked forward without knowing what to say, Zhou Hang followed, and said with a smile: "The emperor Uncle, how did Uncle Sang offend you? Tell your nephew, he will avenge you!"

Li Xu stopped, wanted to say something, pursed his lips, but said nothing after all.He waved his hand: "Don't meddle in the adult's affairs, children."

Zhou Hang let out a nonchalant "嗐" and said, "I'm not a child." Because he asked, "Uncle Emperor, cousin Yu went to the frontier to escort food and grass, do you know?"

"I know!"

"That's a war-torn place, aren't you worried about your cousin?"

"A good man should wear solid armor, hold a sharp weapon, gallop on the battlefield, and make great achievements. He hasn't gone to the battlefield yet, so why worry about just escorting food and grass?" Li Xu said.His son grew up with him in the military camp, if he didn't even have this ability, he would be too useless.

Zhou Hang felt that his uncle's words should be heard by his father, to see if he was still holding him back from going to the battlefield.

"Uncle, where are you going?" Zhou Hang asked.

Li Xu spread his hands: "Your father and emperor Xuanzhao, as a subject, can I not go?"

Zhou Hang wanted to ask about Sang Sheng, but Li Xu said, "Don't mention that bastard to me!"He had no choice but to keep his mouth shut. As for Sang Sheng, he promised to notify him when he had news.

According to the method Sang Sheng gave to find him, Zhou Hang came to a restaurant called Zuimenglou and found a shopkeeper surnamed Wu.Shopkeeper Wu is tall, but very thin, with a gray beard. His hands are thin and powerful, with well-defined joints. He looks like a martial arts practitioner, and his martial arts skills are not low.

Zhou Hang handed him a token left by Sang Sheng, and the shopkeeper respectfully invited him to speak in the inner room.

Zhou Hang explained the purpose of his visit, and shopkeeper Wu wrote a message according to Zhou Hang's instructions, to the effect that the person you are looking for is in the capital, please return quickly.After writing, he rolled it into a small roll, stuffed it in a small bamboo tube, tied it to a pigeon's leg, and sent it away.

It turns out that in ancient times there were really flying pigeons passing on letters, but is this kind of lettering reliable?

Zhou Hang asked, "Do you know where Mr. Sang is now?"

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Are you sure this letter can be delivered to Mr.?"

The shopkeeper nodded.

Zhou Hang said again: "You don't even know where Mr. Sang is, how to deliver the letter? Could it be that your pigeons can find the person they are looking for by following the smell of people?"

The shopkeeper said: "My pigeons are not capable of this. But don't worry, my lord, I can guarantee that Mr. Sang will receive it."

Since the shopkeeper said so, and it was the contact information left by Sang Sheng, Zhou Hang had no choice but to do so.Or they have a way to communicate internally, but they can't tell outsiders easily, and Zhou Hang doesn't intend to ask more.Anyway, he has already done what should be done. As for the effect, it is beyond his control.

To Zhou Hang's surprise, Sang Sheng appeared in the palace the next morning.

At that time, Li Zhao invited the heir son of Zhennan Prince, Li Xu and Zhou Hang to accompany him.The banquet is placed on the waterside pavilion surrounded by water. There are ingenious mechanisms to guide the underground water to the top of the pavilion, and then pour down from the top. Although it is hot summer and the sun is in the sky, the inside of the pavilion is as cool as autumn.

Zhou Hang secretly calculated how much it would cost to build such a water pavilion. He wanted to build one in the East Palace, so that Daiyu could have a place to cool off in summer.

Sang Sheng was not stupid enough to appear in public like this moment. He pretended to be a guard and looked over the lake from a distance.Zhou Hang
