Chang Anqing

Chapter 98 Eavesdropping on the Corner
During the conversation, Li Sui brought Yu Nu and Nian Nu to Fangfei Garden where Baoying is now. After crossing a high threshold, a shadow wall carved with plum blossoms, and a stone arch, they came to Baoying Chang. The yard here is different from the green bamboo in Li Sui's garden. Although this quiet yard is not as spacious as Li Sui's bamboo-free garden, the layout is quite interesting. It is now full of green calyx that Baoying likes. The beauty of red plum is dazzling, but it is also like the beauty of the orchid, and it is more beautiful than the world.

Seeing Li Sui approaching from a distance, the maids standing under the porch were stunned for a moment, then hurried forward, before they were about to open their mouths to salute, but they were stopped by Li Sui's lightly waving hand, and Li Sui before meeting put her finger on her lips Signing to keep silent, they naturally understood that the county master was going to surprise his wife, and immediately looked at each other and smiled, then backed away the next moment and gently tapped the curtain for her.

After Li Suifu's skirt walked in, she suddenly felt cold, and it was already much warmer. Just as she walked in softly, Fang Li was behind the rolled up gauze curtain door and looked at the inner room through the carved doors and windows. There was a familiar figure standing faintly outside the soft curtain, neither going in nor coming out, looking a little sneaky.

Seeing this, Li Sui suddenly narrowed his eyes and signaled Yu Nu and Nian Nuxing to be more soft. After crossing the gate and walking in slowly, Li Sui saw the man wearing a purple and emerald-patterned jacket outside the soft curtain. Who else is Lingxi, the personal maid next to Rong'an County Lord, who pulls up a bun with Chaoyun near the fragrant bun.

At this moment, I saw her leaning slightly, her left hand gently lying outside the door, as if she didn't notice that Li Sui's master and servant were getting closer, and at this time Li Sui also heard the low consolation from Huirong, the maid next to Baoying, coming from the soft curtain. Voice.

"Madam, you have always been a bit too good-natured. The county lord Rong'an is clearly trying to torment you these days. How can you take her words seriously—"

At this moment in the house, Baoying was wearing a snow-blue half-arm, and the inner shirt showed a faint spring pattern on the collar, and a white silk skirt embroidered with green calyx, and her hair was simply pulled up with a gentle lily. He was sitting on a soft couch, with only a small pearl hairpin on his temples, bowing his head and embroidering a peony scalloped lace pattern on a red beard robe.

Hearing Hui Rong's unwilling words, Baoying raised her head slightly, only to find that Hui Rong standing beside her was full of grievances, Baoying smiled lightly, shook her head as usual, lowered her head and continued to embroider patiently. Pattern, the lips are still gentle and comforting: "Okay, it's just a matter of hands, let's just practice female red."

Seeing that Baoying still didn't care about this, Hui Rong couldn't help but feel even more anxious. Now, seeing that her wife was going to marry into the Taiwei's mansion in less than half a month, since she had this paper marriage contract, then Rong'an County The Lord often stirs up troubles. It was fortunate that his wife had a kind and gentle temperament, and the Lord of Yongning County was with him every day. Then the Lord of Rong'an County did not dare to be too blatant, and he was barely able to get along in those days, but he did not expect this. The county master Pan Yongning went to the palace to accompany Empress Yang, and the county master Rong'an really had no scruples, and just handled it like his own wife and that soft persimmon.

The wife of her own family has nothing else to do, she never takes these things to heart, let alone tell the madam to the captain. Even the last time she finally went to the palace, the Lord Yongning had already inquired in person, but she could only watch. As my wife still bears the grievances she has suffered all the time and does not report the good news but not the sadness, such a day or two days can still pass, but if the rest of my life goes on like this, how can it be a long time? count?
She has been with Baoying since she was a child, and she naturally knew that although her wife was born in a noble family, her life in Hongnong was not as happy as outsiders looked at. Now that she came to Chang'an, everyone knew that this wonderful marriage had fallen. On the head of his wife, but who knows the hardships of his wife.

Thinking of this, Hui Rong couldn't help lowering his head, and weeping faintly, only to feel that all the grievances came to his heart, and he couldn't hold back any longer.

"Madam, now you have a marriage contract with Lord Erlang. In terms of age, you are older than the county head. In the future, she will also be the sister of Lord Erlang and yours. No matter what, the county head Rong'an should not treat you like this. There are so many embroiderers in such a big sewing room, who can't embroider these things for her, how can she deliberately make you do these rough jobs day and night like a maid?"

Sensing that Baoying's hand was slightly stunned when she heard the sound, Huirong immediately bent down and half-kneeled in front of Baoying, holding Baoying's hand that was holding the Hu clothes and the embroidery needle, with some expectations, she almost cried out in a hurry Said: "Ma'am, although the county master is in the palace now, the madam Taiwei and Erlang-Jun are both in the house. The slave can see that the Taiwei's wife really cares for you, and Erlang-Jun is also a person who is right from wrong. Let's take these Just tell the Taiwei Madam and the others as they are, and Madam and they will always decide for you."

When the words were finished, the smile on Baoying's lips gradually faded, and when she looked up, she saw that she was putting silver needles into the embroidery, but she was looking at Hui Rong under her feet seriously, and said seriously, "Hui Rong, you know. , I and Hongying came to Chang'an from Hongnong, and have always been taken care of by the Taiwei, his wife and brothers and sisters, and I should be grateful."

After that, Baoying stretched out her hand and stroked Huirong's cheek, her thumb gently wiped away her tears and continued to comfort her gently: "Although I have a marriage contract with cousin Yan, but the ceremony has not yet been completed, how can we easily pretend to be like this? I am proud of myself, what's more, even if he gets married someday, as a bride, I will honor my cousin, his wife and the elders in the mansion, take care of all my brothers and sisters, make my Taiwei and my wife feel at ease, and let my cousin Yan An Xin, how can we use these little things to make them embarrassed for us."

"Can--"

Sensing what Hui Rong was about to say, Baoying gently lifted her up and said the last sentence.

"The county magistrate Rong'an grew up in the Taiwei's mansion since childhood. It is the jewel in the hearts of Taiwei and Mrs. Cui, and cousin Yan and their beloved sister. You and I live here. We are older and should be humble."

"Okay, get up, your knees will break."

Hearing the conversation in the house, Li Sui already understood a little after thinking about it. At this moment, his expression became a little more serious and calm, and Lingxi, who was standing outside the soft curtain, saw that he had no more words, and looked back quietly, as if planning to leave. go.

But as soon as she turned around and saw Li Sui standing in front of her, she was shocked, and cold sweat broke out from her back at the same time. It was cold, but there was an easy-going smile on his lips.

But Lingxi could clearly see the three-point chill in it, and only that three-point was enough to immerse her like an icy deep pool.

Facing Li Sui's threatening gaze, Lingxi couldn't hold it any longer at the next moment, and immediately knelt down uncompromisingly as her legs softened, and her words were a little slurred.

"County -- county master --"

Suddenly hearing the movement outside the house, Baoying's master and servants were shocked. The next moment, Baoying quickly put down the things in her hands, and then got up and walked out. The moment she opened the curtain, she saw that Li Sui was already there. He walked in with a smile as usual.

Seeing Baoying looking worriedly at Lingxi outside her eyes, Li Sui took her hand and walked towards the couch as if she had never seen it.

"I haven't seen it these days, how can I lose weight again."

While talking, Li Sui was smiling, but seeing Baoying's thinner and thinner body in front of her, and a look of exhaustion she couldn't hide, her heart was still a little cold.

"Why did you come back today, isn't the Queen's sister also about to give birth?"

Li Sui has always been attentive. At this moment, she looks at Baoying who pretends to be talking with her in a relaxed manner. How can she not see the bloodshot eyes in Baoying's eyes? It took days and nights to get so red eyes and haggard face.

How does this look like a daughter to be married?
Thinking of this, Li Sui glanced at Lingxi who was brought in by Yu Nu and was kneeling, and then turned to the embroidery that was almost piled up by the couch. Among them were the happy fans that Baoying used to get married. She likes quilts and other things, but there are also many cloaks and handkerchiefs inside. It is luxurious and publicized at a glance, and it is obviously not like the pattern and color that Baoying likes on weekdays. The owner of these things hardly needs to think, she can know who it is.

I never thought that when I saw that I had given Rong An a face in the love that I grew up with, it was a calamity.

Thinking of this, Li Suixiu frowned lightly, and then relieved it, her eyes were deserted, and her breath had a somewhat detectable sneer.

"What are you doing, not waiting by Rong'an's side for a while, but standing outside quietly, not going in or out?"
