The Concubine's Survival Manual

Chapter 85

After all, Mama Liang's mouth was tight, and this matter really didn't get out.

After the Lantern Festival, several nephews and young masters went to Shantang Academy to study hard, and Ninth Brother also studied hard at home, and fewer people came to visit, and the eldest wife gradually recovered.

A letter from the Xu family also arrived, and Mrs. Xu was so angry that she cursed in the letter, saying that Duke Ping was messing around and that Xu Fengjia was so tired that she could only be trapped in the front line.She was so worried that she couldn't sleep at night.

The eldest wife saw it funny, and she used it as a conversation piece to joke with the children of the main courtyard, "This is the fault of the military commander's family. Feng Jia is going to go to the front line to hang out at a young age... Ninth brother, it's better to take the imperial examination for peace." ?”

Brother Jiu just rolled his eyes and refused to answer, which made everyone laugh.

The eldest wife is well, and the little ladies are also liberated.

Although the third lady, the fourth lady and the sixth lady don't have to go to the main courtyard to serve the sick, but the aunt is sick, and it's not easy to go out to play, so they can only sit quietly in the house.

Now as soon as the eldest wife recovers, the young ladies will hurry up to seize the rest of the vacation and start playing inside and outside the Baifang Garden.

Seventh Lady also often went to Yuelai Hall and Xiao Xiangxue played with Fifth Lady and Sixth Lady.

The number of times of entering and exiting Baifang Garden has increased.

There were a few times when I fast-forwarded to the beginning of the shift, I trotted out from the Yuelai hall, barely catching up with the sound of Li's mother's footsteps locking the door.

After a few days like this, inside and outside the main courtyard, everyone was used to seeing Qinianzi's footsteps in and out of Baifang Garden.

On the 27th day of the first lunar month, the eldest wife finally recovered completely, so she pulled herself together and dismissed Ms. Wang, Ms. Liang and other mothers in charge. They settled the accounts and counted the New Year's ceremony in the house, and arranged a banquet list for spring wine when the spring began.

Qin Niangzi took Lixia into Baifang Garden.

It was after noon, everyone in the Yang residence had the habit of taking a nap, and the garden was very quiet, not even a single person.

Although this winter can't be called cold, it's still a bit chilly after all. Ordinary maids and women don't like to walk outside in winter, and most of them still stay indoors to keep warm.

An elegant fragrance of plum blossoms came from a long distance from Xiao Xiangxue's direction, and the laughter of her daughter's family could be faintly heard, echoing like silver bells in the sky above the plum forest.

Liu Niangzi went to play on the swing with someone again.

The swing outside Xiaoxiangxue really brought infinite fun to Liu Niangzi.

Seventh Lady couldn't help laughing.

Passing by Qinghong Pavilion, Seventh Lady couldn't help but stop in her tracks.

There are already several early peach blossoms in Qinghong Pavilion.

In the sparse and well-organized peach forest, there is a whitewashed wall standing alone, and the plaque under the eaves of the hall can still be vaguely seen.

Both inside and outside the garden were immersed in the tranquility, the laughter from Xiao Xiangxue made the tranquility in front of Qinghong Pavilion even more apparent.

On the other side of the road, separated by Wan/Hua/Xi, is Huanshawu in the distance, and the doors and windows are also closed, and there is no sound.

Qin Niangzi gave Li Xia a push.

"Go!" she said quickly in a low voice. "Can you turn over?"

Qinghong Pavilion has a low terrain, and there is a rockery behind it. It is easy to climb over the courtyard wall from the rockery.

Once you enter the yard, it is easy to enter the house... Shangye's mother-in-law now often plays cards and eats wine on the ground floor of Qinghong Pavilion—this is also the meaning of the eldest wife, and she wants to make Qinghong Pavilion more popular.

With a lot of people coming and going, it is inevitable that there will be a half-open window, or a half-hidden door...

Li Xia nodded calmly, quickly disappeared behind Qinghong Pavilion, and entered the rockery.

Qin Niangzi also had some heartbeats.

If someone finds out at this time, it will take a lot of talking... Although it is not possible to find a reason to pass the level, it is always troublesome.

His own plan will come to a halt.

She pretended to be admiring the flower buds, half leaning on the big bluestone, looking at the peach tree in awe.

I don't know how long it took, but I heard light footsteps.

Seventh Lady almost jumped up halfway.

Turning around, it was Shuxia who brought a little maid and walked slowly along the path.

"Seven lady."

"Aunt Twelve."

Both sides were a little surprised, and both said hello.

Seventh Lady asked with concern, "Why does Twelfth Aunt want to come out and walk around at this time?"

"The one in my stomach, I feel restless after eating every day. I move around...I always have to walk to feel comfortable." Twelfth Aunt also stood still and asked Seventh Lady, "Why is Seventh Lady here in a daze?"

"Oh, I saw the cuteness of Zao Taohua, and I fell in love without knowing it." Seventh Lady had no choice but to use her excuses.

Since I just watched Zao Taohua, it's not good to continue watching.

It's not easy to go far away... lest Li Xia can't see anyone when he comes out, and his panic will show his feet.

Seventh Lady thought of another past event.

Speaking of which, the three sisters always went in and out together, and Seventh Lady rarely saw Shuxia alone.

This matter has been on my mind for a while.

I don't know why, I just don't want to understand...

Thinking of what Quan Zhongbai said again. "It's a wound made by a silver utensil, the acid of gold and silver is bitter..."

"Aunt Twelve wants to go back to Huanshawu?" She took advantage of the opportunity and walked towards Wan/Hua/Xi with Shu Xia.

"Yes." Shu Xia frowned.

The three sisters were originally handsome and gentle, but since Shu Xia became pregnant, she also appeared to have a more delicate demeanor.

Seventh Lady smiled and told the little maid, "Please go to Xiaoxiangxue to see if Sixth Lady is playing on the swing... If so, then ask her if she wants to come to the moon hall together to play with Fifth Sister? No matter what she agrees It’s still not good, you go to Yuelai Pavilion to find Sister Gu Yu, and say that I’m going to find Sister Fifth to play Shuanglu... See if Sister Fifth is awake. I’ll just talk to your aunt in Huanshawu, and I won’t leave Far."

Going back to Huanshawu from Yuelai Pavilion, you don't have to go through Qinghong Pavilion.

The little maid looked at Shuxia.

Shu Xia hurriedly urged, "Go quickly, do you dare to fall on deaf ears to what Seventh Lady said?"

Qin Niangzi took the place of the little maid and helped Shu Xia walk slowly towards Huanshawu.

"Qi Niangzi has something to say, but it doesn't matter." It was Shu Xia who broke the silence first.

She smiled with crooked eyebrows and an innocent face.

Looking at her smiling face, Seventh Lady was a little dazed for a while.

Not even 20 years old!

At a young age, he became the master's housekeeper...

However, she did not dare to underestimate Shuxia.

Among the three sisters, in terms of beauty and wrist, the youngest sister is the better.

"I want to ask you about a past event two or three years ago." Seventh Lady said with a smile.

From the beginning to the end of this incident, Shu Xia was just a witness.The whole matter has nothing to do with Shu Xia.

If you ask yourself, Shuxia should tell the truth, right?In the matter of raising the house, I have sold a favor to the three sisters.

Shuxia really smiled, "So it's about this... Why did Seventh Lady suddenly think of the past many years ago?"

"Didn't you receive a letter from Aunt San a few days ago?" Seventh Lady remained calm and crossed the small bamboo bridge over Wan/Hua/Xia side by side with Shu Xia. "It was said that cousin Xu's family was fighting at the front... I thought of this right away."

Shuxia smiled and nodded, but she couldn't tell if she believed it or not.

"You can really only ask me about this."

For some reason, Shuxia's eyes had some unexplainable, unexplainable emotions.

"At that time, I happened to be looking at the scenery in front of Huanshawu, and you also know it. When you and Liu Niangzi passed by, we also said a few words..."

A smile appeared on her lips when she mentioned the past.

It was as if what happened at that time was not a tragedy, but an interesting incident.

"It's a coincidence that after a stick of incense, Master Biao and Wu Niangzi went into the garden while talking and laughing. I still remember that Master Biao was playing with the knife in his hand. , while walking, he also talked to Wu Niangzi, saying, "This knife was bought with a lot of money from a Japanese craftsman, and it is extremely sharp"... As he said, the two of them laughed, and they gradually walked up the rockery. It looks very harmonious, just like biological brothers and sisters, they are very affectionate."

"At this moment, a person walked out from the direction of Qinghong Pavilion. He looked very similar to Seventh Lady, but changed into a different outfit. I secretly wondered why Seventh Lady was wearing such an ill-fitting short jacket. Although it's nothing at first glance, but if you look closely, you can find that the whole thing is one size bigger, did Seventh Lady get dirty with her skirt somewhere, so she had to borrow such a suit to wear?"

At that time, both Seventh Lady and Ninth Brother were still young and hadn't grown up. Seventh Lady changed into men's clothing, but it was indisputable. Even the second wife had a hard time separating them.

"It happened that young master Biao was also walking towards Qinghong Pavilion at that time, and the two of them met each other. Young master Biao laughed and asked her, 'Why do you come to visit the garden? Yang Qi, I usually see that you are very bored. It’s not like walking around in Baifang Garden.”
