The blessing of the splendid farm family is married to the world

Chapter 102 The Garden
Aunt Luo greeted her from the door, and said with a smile: "Miss, you are back. Sister Xi has already fixed the dinner. Would you like to eat first, or wait for the young master to come back and eat together?"

While talking, she stepped forward to pick up the big and small parcels in An Xu's hands, and at the same time felt that the young lady treated others too kindly, so that her two maids were not dedicated.

An Xu stepped aside and said, "No need. Che'er hasn't come back yet?"

Aunt Luo was embarrassed, followed into the house, and replied: "Not yet. In the past, at this point in time, the eldest and young masters are all on duty."

"Maybe it's because things in the yamen are busy," An Xu said, "If you don't come back later, ask the guards in the mansion to greet you."

Aunt Luo said good-bye repeatedly, "It's better to have you here. In the past, the eldest and young master came home late, and we didn't know what to do."

An Xu was funny, glanced at Aunt Luo, and asked, "Does he often come home late?"

Aunt Luo said: "Not at all, our young master is fine, he never goes to messy places, and he goes home after finishing his office. Rather, "

An Xu had already entered the room, put the things on the table, took the tea that the magpie poured earlier, drank half a cup in one go, and asked, "Is there anything you can't say directly?"

"Yes, yes, but don't tell the young master that the old slave said it." Aunt Luo said.

An Xu frowned secretly, she thought Zong Chetiao's servants were all quiet and strict, but she didn't expect such a thing.

"Let me hear what you say."

Only then did Aunt Luo take a step forward, and said in a low voice: "A Miss Sun from Ou Xiang's family often comes to our house to deliver food and drinks to the young master, and even pester the young master to talk. Because of Ou Xiang, Mrs. The young master is not easy to drive people away, and Miss Sun is getting more and more indecisive, and often stays for a long time as soon as she comes. You said, this-"

An Xu smiled and said, "It turned out that someone was chasing him. I thought his charm had declined when he arrived in the capital."

Aunt Luo was taken aback, why is Miss still happy to see her success?

"Everyone in Ou Xiang's family is like this. When they become infatuated, people are afraid." She said, "Miss, don't you care?"

"What should I do?" An Xu wondered, "If Che'er doesn't like it, a woman shouldn't be able to do anything to him."

Aunt Luo was speechless for a while, and said: "Then this old slave will serve you food?"

An Xu nodded. As soon as she went out, Magpie curled her lips and said, "This old slave, why are you so enthusiastic about Miss today?"

An Xu thought for a while, and said, "Maybe it's because I let Aunt Xi and the others learn how to cook today."

While talking, Zong Che came in, and as he approached, a thin layer of wine smell also invaded.

An Xu poured a cup of tea and pushed it to him, and asked, "Going out to socialize?"

Zong Che said: "No. Today the emperor asked me to give a lecture on history, and I was given an imperial meal with a few people from the Imperial Academy."

An Xu asked curiously, "What kind of person is the emperor?"

"Middle-aged people," Zong Che said, "are more suspicious and lustful."

An Xu didn't expect him to make such an evaluation, and he was too bold, so he quickly turned to the magpie and the partridge and said, "Don't spread rumors. Go and see what Mrs. Xi is doing, and cook a bowl of hangover soup for the young master. "

Zong Che, who had only drank two glasses of royal wine, didn't say anything.

After the two maids went down, he said: "I'm telling the truth. A year ago, the emperor favored the Concubine Yu of Liu Yushi's family, but now he favors a daughter of Xiaolian's family. She's about to become a concubine."

"Isn't the emperor's favor on concubines all related to the politics of the previous dynasty?" An Xu said with a smile, "I just didn't expect you to be a gossip."

Zong Che took a sip of tea and said, "Who did you hear that it was related to the previous dynasty? If the emperor couldn't do what he wanted, who would be able to live well? I didn't mean to listen to this. There are more opportunities to enter and leave the court, so naturally Got it. People cannibals are everywhere in this capital city, not only the imperial palace, so you have to be careful."

An Xu: "How come you said that coming to the capital is like exploring."

Zong Che smiled and said: "If you go out to socialize in the future, you must be with Mrs. Rong. You have seen the swords and swords of the Lu family before. In the capital, a few words of many people are swords and swords."

"I see."

Seeing that he stopped talking, An Xu got up and went out to ask for the food to be brought in.

After dinner, Zong Che said that he was going to study in the study, An Xu went to the kitchen to check, and after making sure that he had materials for tomorrow's breakfast, he went back to his room and went to bed.

It was the study room, and it took a long while before the light was turned on. Zong Che casually flipped through the book in his hand, and said to come in, and then came in a man dressed as a servant in the mansion.

"Where did they all go?"

The visitor bowed his head and replied: "After coming out of Jixiang Building, we walked half of the outer city. Miss seems to want to buy a storefront. When they came back, they met Shen's aunt and cousin."

Zong Che said: "Strengthen the defense of the mansion, and don't let that woman from the Ou family get any closer."

The person who came nodded and saw that there was no order, so he withdrew.

Zong Che took out another book from the bottom of the bookcase, opened it, and inside it was a map of the defense of the capital. Of course, he didn't steal it, but the emperor once used his wonderful lectures as a pretext for the book. Sent in the rewards.

The emperor was over forty, and he distrusted his sons less and less, and feared some important officials more and more.

He was used by the emperor in a wrestling match held in the palace the year before last. Even though he had Gu Lao's teacher behind him, the emperor was still very relieved.

Maybe it was because the emperor only wanted to treat him like a knife.

The emperor wanted to reorganize the Shenying Guard, and this was his chance.

Emperors are afraid of death, and they protect each other's safety. Of course, there is more than one Condor Guard. In the capital, there are nine battalion guards who are responsible for the emperor's safety.

But the emperor wanted a hole card that was beyond all expectations.

What he has to do now is to make this hole card well.

Under the light, the young man's tall and straight nose cast a beautiful shadow on the side of his face. He lowered his head, compared the drawings, and wrote and drew until midnight.

Today is the thirteenth day of March, and it is almost the middle of the month. At midnight, the moon in the night sky has approached its full circle, and the bright and clear moonlight is shining all over the courtyard.

Zong Che came out of the study and walked slowly, looking at the dark shadows of the corridors and pavilions under the bright moonlight, thinking that she would go to meet other men as soon as she arrived in the capital, the discomfort that had been suppressed in her heart gradually condensed Became a grievance.

Even the eyes are a little sore.

He coughed lightly, and at this time he had already arrived outside the room where she lived. He paused for a few breaths, then turned around and left.

The partridge was very vigilant, because she heard the footsteps outside, she held her breath and sat up immediately, but she didn't dare to make any movements, and when the footsteps disappeared, she got out of bed and quietly opened the door to take a look outside.

In the morning, after washing up, An Xu was sitting in front of the vanity mirror, waiting for the partridge to comb her hair. She hadn't seen any movement for a long time. When she looked up, she saw that the girl was holding a comb, combing her loose hair one after another. hair.

"What are you doing? You have black eyes, did you become a thief last night?" An Xu asked with a smile.

Partridge came back to his senses, and hurriedly said: "This servant is thinking too much."

"What's the matter?"

"That's right, last night," Partridge thought again and again, thinking it's better not to hide the truth from Miss, "Young Master seems to have stayed outside your door for a long time."

Is he up to no good?

Partridge was quite worried, although the eldest young master was not the younger brother of the young lady, but the righteous siblings, if something happened, it would be the worst for the young lady.

An Xu frowned, then smiled and said, "It's okay, he might want to ask me about my living habits."

Comb your hair and come out, the sky is still a little hazy.

The magpie yawned and said, "Miss, if you need something, we can just ask the two of us to pick it up. It's so early, please sleep a little longer."

An Xu planned to go to the front yard to pick some roses, "I have a lot to do today, and it's too late for me now."

Perhaps because of the voices outside, the parrot sleeping in the servant's room came out with its clothes on, and saw An Xu hurriedly greeted him, "Miss, you got up so early, do you have any instructions?"

"No orders, let's pick some roses, you continue to sleep."

Seeing that they were going to the front yard, the parrot hurriedly said: "There are also many roses in the backyard. It is easier for you to pick them in the backyard."

The main reason is that all the guards and servants live in the front yard, whoever bumps into the young lady will be punished.

Backyard too?

An Xu just came here, and he didn't inquire about the layout of Zongche's house, so he really didn't know.

The parrot led the way, and sure enough, after walking for a long time, there was a moon gate. Before entering, the strong and cool fragrance of flowers hit the nose.

When An Xu walked in, his eyes were filled with dewy or unopened roses, and more inside, there were lush peaches and apricots. The peach blossoms are in full bloom, and all the trees are pink.

Where there are houses, jasmine flowers are planted outside, and the open space in the middle is an arched greenhouse neatly covered with straw mats.

An Xu smiled and said, "This garden is really nice."

When I walked to the end of a bush of roses, I found a deck chair here.

The lounge chair is not surprising, but what is surprising is that there is a person lying on it, and the eyelashes are wet with dew.

An Xu bent down and patted him on the shoulder, "Che'er, wake up."

Zong Che opened his eyes in a daze, saw the person in front of him, smiled, and regained consciousness after hearing her words.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

He sat up and said, "Last night, something happened and I couldn't figure it out, so I came here. I didn't expect to fall asleep while leaning on the recliner."

An Xu: "The clothes are all wet, go back to your room and change."

"En", Zong Che agreed, stood up, and didn't know if it was because he just woke up, his knees gave way and he fell back.

An Xu was a little hesitant, and reached out to help him up.

Zong Che looked very embarrassed, and explained: "It's just that my knees are stiff from sleeping."

An Xu nodded, go back and change clothes, don't catch a cold.

After Zong Che left, she picked some roses and asked the magpies and partridges to stay and continue picking them. An Xu went to the front kitchen and boiled thick ginger and brown sugar water overnight, and asked Aunt Xi who had already woken up to give Zong Che the roses. Send it over.
