stormy clouds

In Mrs. Mu's room, a woman with a beautiful face was pouring boiling water into a black pottery bowl, and took a tea whisk to hit the tea soup. After a while, the tea soup was covered with snow foam, and the soup color gradually became milky white and rich.Make it thick and white.

Mrs. Mu looked at it for a while, and asked, "Miss Chang Si is gone."

"It is said that it has already left." The woman handed the tea bowl to the old lady Changping Hou, "Madam, you have a taste of this tea."

The old lady took a sip, nodded and said: "Not bad, the taste is fragrant, better than the previous few times."

The woman lowered her head and pursed her lips with a smile, taking the teapot from the stove and pouring boiling water into another bowl.

The old lady put the tea bowl on the table, pondered for a moment and said, "Yunying, this time when Jing Yi comes back, you will serve him in his room."

Yunying's face was blushing, and she lowered her head.

The old lady sighed, "I know your temperament best, but I just don't know what kind of temperament this girl from the Chang family has.

Back then, her mother was knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and the female worker was even more superb. It's a pity that her beauty died young. Miss Chang lacked education since she was a child, so she didn't know what she would look like. "

Yunying felt a little bored when she thought about how Master Hou and Chang Luoyun looked at each other and smiled.

"Miss Chang looks very good, but her temper is a little bit stronger."

"Miss Chang Si really returned the marriage certificate to Jing Yi?" the old lady asked.

"That's what the person serving in front of me said." Yunying lowered her head and concentrated on ordering tea.Her waist is straight, her face is dignified, and her figure is soft and beautiful.

Mrs. Mu narrowed her eyes and thought for a while, then nodded, "She is a man of integrity, she must have thought that Jing Yi hadn't mentioned the marriage contract because she didn't want to fulfill the contract, so she returned the marriage letter to Jing Yi.

Mrs. Mu's expression was sad, "I think that when the old master of the Chang family saved the old Hou Ye, the old Hou Ye promised this marriage on the spot.

Since the marriage contract was signed by the old Hou Ye himself, how can we be the ones who betrayed their promises? It is true that Jing Yi also has difficulties.

It's all right now, Miss Chang Si has come to the capital, we should invite them to the waiting mansion for a talk.Whether or not this marriage will work out, we all owe her family a debt of love. "

Mrs. Mu stood up.Yunying got up quickly and helped her into the bedroom.

Since last year, Mrs. Mu's legs have been aching, and outsiders can't see it, but Yunying, who has been waiting by her side, knows very well that as long as she gets up a little too fast or it's cloudy and rainy, her legs will be fine. The pain was unbearable.

Mrs. Mu supported Yunying's arm and walked slowly, "You send a post to Miss Chang's residence tomorrow, inviting Mrs. Pei to bring Fourth Miss and Fifth Miss to our house, and say that I will cleanse them up. .”

Yun Ying agreed, and Mrs. Mu said again: "By the way, you also write a message to Mrs. Cheng'an House, saying that I miss her, and ask her to bring the second girl over to talk."

Mrs. Cheng'an House is Mrs. Mu's younger sister. Among the many brothers and sisters, they are the closest.

Lian Zhen, the second daughter of Cheng'anbo House, is three years younger than Mu Jingyi, and she used to play with Mu Jingyi when she was young, but now that she is older, the two of them seldom see each other.

If it weren't for the long-standing marriage contract with the Chang family, Mrs. Mu would be very satisfied with Lian Zhen being her daughter-in-law.

Lian Zhen was smart since she was a child, and now she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Besides, she grew up in front of her since she was a child, so she can't be wrong.

Yunying nodded, thinking to herself, Miss Lianzhen looks easier to get along with than Miss Changsi, but it's a pity that she doesn't have this fate with Master Hou.

Mrs. Mu gave her a few more instructions and then took a rest.

On the second day, Yunying first went to deliver a post to Mrs. Cheng Anbo.Mrs. Cheng Anbo was very happy, and said: "I heard that Jing Yi is back, I was thinking about going to see him in two days, but my sister thought about it."

Yunying smiled and said, "The old lady also invited the girl from Chang's family. When the time comes, Mrs. Uncle will bring the second girl over there earlier, and the girls will be chatting together."

"Which Chang family girl?" Mrs. Cheng Anbo asked.

"It's the girls from the Chang family in Qingzhou. On the queen mother's birthday, they will go to Beijing with the county princess to give the queen mother a birthday present."

Mrs. Cheng Anbo pursed her lips, "Then I must go and see what is different about the girl from the Chang family, so that the old Hou Ye will fall in love with her at a glance."

Yunying smiled and said goodbye.

In Lindu at the beginning of April, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and roadside stalls selling ice bowls and sugar water have also been set up.Yunying walked hot and dry, so she bought a bowl of sugar water on the side of the road to drink.

After taking a few sips of the sugar water, I saw a woman in pink hurrying over with a maid in a light crimson shirt.

The woman was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a graceful figure, a powdered face, a pair of big and round almond eyes, and she was very pretty.

Yunying couldn't help but look at them more.

I heard the woman say: "Qiu Hen, I'm going to be suffocated to death living in that Sao Ba Xing's house. I heard that the scenery of Xinghu Lake in Lindu is very beautiful. Why don't we go swimming in the lake?"

Qiu Hen looked puzzled, "Girl, when we came out, Mrs. Pei made it very clear that Lin is no better than Qingzhou, let's take a stroll and go back early."

Yunying couldn't help but look at them when she heard Qingzhou.The girl from the Chang family also came from Qingzhou.

Chang Luoyao pinched the ends of her hair and stomped her feet, angrily said: "You are my mother in everything, if I had known this, I should have told my mother to bring Ziyan here, she would definitely not be like you."

"Girl—" Qiu Hen was a little embarrassed.

"Are you going? If you don't go, I'll go by myself." Chang Luoyao rolled her eyes.

It's not that Qiuhen is going or not, standing there can't advance or retreat.

Seeing her standing still, Chang Luoyao snorted and turned her head away.

After drinking the last sip of sugar water in the bowl, Yunying stood up and walked over to stand in front of Chang Luoyao, bowed and said, "Young lady is from Qingzhou?"

Chang Luoyao stopped in her tracks and looked confused, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."

Qiu Hen has followed vigilantly.

Yunying pursed her lips and smiled, "I heard that the girl is from Qingzhou, and I'm asking you for someone. I don't know if the girl knows?"

"Who?" Chang Luoyao asked with squinting eyes.

"The fourth girl of Chang Shaocheng's family in Qingzhou Weaving Department, have you ever heard of it?" Yunying asked with a smile.

Chang Luoyao was silent, "What do you want her for?"

"Old Madam Changping Hou asked me to send her a post, but I have never found out where she lives." Yunying said, "I wonder if the girl knows?"

Fei Cui walked over and stood in front of Chang Luoyun, "Girl, let's ask someone else, we don't know about Miss Chang Si from Qingzhou."

"Oh," Yunying looked disappointed, "Then I'll ask again, thank you girl."

Chang Luoyao watched Yunying walk away, and asked, "Qiuhen, why didn't you tell her?"

Qiu Hen explained patiently, "Girl, think about it, there are people coming and going on this street, we don't know her at all, how does she know we are from Qingzhou?

Moreover, as soon as she came up, she asked us if we knew Miss Chang Si?This is even more suspicious. "

Qiu Hen said, "Let's go back and find out. Otherwise, with the girl's appearance, if someone cares about her, the consequences will be disastrous."

Chang Luoyao was skeptical, but after thinking about it, she followed Qiu Hen back.

Yunying turned around from the corner of the street, looked at their backs, thoughtfully.
