Rebirth of the scholarly lady

75 The eve of the banquet
Nan Qiansong's voice was sharp.

Du Juan dared not speak in fear.

After a while, Nan Xiyuan came to look for Nan Qiansong, Du Juan sent the plague god away, and returned to Huachun Courtyard with water.

Du Juan returned to Huichunyuan, put the water basin in front of Nan Surou, and served Nan Surou to bathe her feet, but while doing things, she hesitated to speak.

Nan Surou looked at her, and said: "Du Juan, you go out first, I'm tired, I just let Yun Rong take care of me here."

Du Juan nodded, and exited respectfully, but when she reached the door, she turned her head and peeked at Nan Surou again, as if she had something to say, but she didn't say anything, and just went out.

Looking at Du Juan's back, Yun Rong whispered in Nan Surou's ear, "Miss, something is wrong with this Du Juan again."

Nan Surou shook her head and smiled lightly: "She's always been wrong, didn't you just find out today?"

"Her attitude reflects something wrong." Yun Rong was taken aback.

"Don't worry about it, it's a blessing or a curse, if it's a disaster you can't avoid it, let's be careful." Nan Surou lowered her eyes.

Another day passed.

Early in the morning, in the morning light like water.

Nan Surou got up early to comb her hair, but she heard Du Juan outside reporting that Miss Yuemei had come.

After the notification, Jiang Yuemei walked into the house with a food box, followed by her maid.

Jiang Yuemei's girl lowered her brows pleasingly, and lowered her head and held her breath, making her face unclear.

Nan Surou came out to welcome her.

I only heard Jiang Yuemei smile and said: "Auntie, I'm really sorry, I came to disturb you this early in the morning. Last time I said that I wanted to apologize to you. I can't get free these days, and I heard that you are sick. Not feeling well, I personally made a bowl of ginseng chicken soup, please accept it."

With that said, Jiang Yuemei handed over the food box.

Nan Surou signaled Yun Rong to accept it, then smiled and said, "Oh? Please worry about it."

As she spoke, she habitually looked at Jiang Yuemei.

Today, Jiang Yuemei's eyebrows are trimmed like willow leaves, her big eyes look forward to flying, she is wearing a concubine-colored snow-rolled veil dress, and rich and beautiful peony flowers are embroidered on the dress, her figure is delicate and slender, like a weak willow supporting the wind, The hair accessory is very simple, a hollow orchid hairpin is pinned to the side, and a pearl and jade tassel hangs from the head of the hairpin, making her look even more refined and charming.

Jiang Yuemei may not be as beautiful as a fairy, but today's dress makes people feel a different kind of agility.

Nan Surou said calmly: "Yuemei, you are dressed so grandly today, are you going to meet important people?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuemei was taken aback for a moment, and then she smiled shyly: "Why, this is one of the new clothes my mother made for me recently, I like this style, so I wear it, what is it for? Auntie, you are used to making fun of anyone you meet."

While talking, Jiang Yuemei lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.

Nan Surou didn't expose her emotions, and continued: "That's right, Second Sister loves you very much. I'm still feeling unwell today. If you're fine, I'll go to rest."

Jiang Yuemei saw that Nan Surou didn't want to say much, so she just smiled: "Well, auntie, the ginseng chicken soup I just sent was boiled by myself, you have to remember to drink it."

Nan Surou responded with a smile: "I should be grateful for your kindness, and I will never let you down."

She bit the last four words word by word.

After Jiang Yuemei heard this, she was very happy, so she said goodbye and left with peace of mind.

Nan Surou looked at Jiang Yuemei's leaving back, and Yun Rong beside her whispered, "Miss, this Miss Cousin's attitude..."

"Do not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. It is a lie to say that there is no time a few days ago. She must have been angry at me for causing her to be scolded by her cousin, and she had to bow to me, so she refused to visit." Nan Surou said from a distance. Looking at the cuckoo who was sent far away from the yard by her.

Yun Rong was a little puzzled, and said: "The young lady means that Miss Biao is here today..."

"Most likely she saw something was wrong, and she was so frightened that she didn't know who to turn to for help, so she asked me for help, and she was afraid of being known, so she spoke in a cryptic way." Nan Surou sneered, pulling Yunrong went back to the back room and asked Yunrong to continue combing her hair.

"Then what are you going to do?" Yun Rong asked while combing Nan Surou's hair.

"Let's figure it out." Nan Surou said indifferently.

Yun Rong nodded, and asked again: "Miss, what about the ginseng chicken soup that Miss Yuemei sent over?"

When Yun Rong asked, Nan Surou shifted her gaze to the food box next to her.

"Yunrong, open it and have a look." Nan Surou narrowed her eyes slightly.

Seeing the food box, Zheng Senjie's previous words lingered in Nan Surou's heart.

Yun Rong took the lead and opened the lid of the food box.

There was a stewing pot inside, Yunrong held his hands in a veil and lifted the lid.

A strong smell of ginseng mixed with chicken juice wafts out.

Nan Surou took a closer look, this stew pot is really rich, pork liver, pork, ginseng, chicken, wolfberry, red dates...

I don't know if there's anything else in it.

Nan Surou turned her face away, and said: "Yunrong, in a moment, you go and pour that ginseng soup, by the way, pour it into the lotus pond behind to feed the fish, there are chicken bones and pork liver in it, but You can’t just dump it anywhere, and don’t let people see it.”

Yun Rong hesitated for a moment, then said: "But..."

"She said she stewed it herself, but we can't understand how many people handled it. Even if she didn't mean it, others would. Be careful." Nan Surou glanced at Yun Rong, and said : "Besides, these things are not as 'valuable' as you think."

Only then did Yun Rong shut her mouth, and carefully helped Nan Su Rou to dress up.

Nan Surou's eyes slightly closed, she thought, even Jiang Yuemei could see something was wrong, it seems that tomorrow will really be a catastrophe.

Another day passed, and the peaceful daily life reflected the stormy atmosphere.

Different from the atmosphere between people, the sun is setting brightly in the sky today, and it is gradually rising.

No matter how many turbulent dark tides there are in Duke Wei's mansion, it will not change the clarity of the sunlight in the autumn morning.

The group of demon-like children can only make people calm in their sleep.

At this time, Nan Surou got up early to make up, waiting for the coming storm.

Yun Rong has experienced so much in the past few days, she felt a little uneasy, and couldn't help but said: "Miss, should you let Du Juan tell Sister Fen that you are still not feeling well, so you won't go to the banquet today?"

Looking at Yunrong's worried face, Nan Surou smiled and said, "I know you are thinking about me, but don't forget, they all tried their best to let me go to the banquet a few days ago, do you think they will give up easily? No matter what, you have to drag me into the water, if I don't go..."
