The Way of Favors

The wife helped entertain Xie's, obviously closer to the former.

The second wife of Qin was the daughter of the Cui family. Before she got married, the Xie family came in. The relationship between the two aunts and sister-in-law was not harmonious. Now Fu Rong gave her face, and the second wife of Qin was very comfortable in her heart, and she also felt that Xie was there. The act of offending the princess at the full moon ceremony of Ju'er's full moon ceremony is very unreasonable. He stretched out his hand and didn't hit the smiley person, and when he came to congratulate him, he didn't say anything rude. He provoked him first, and it was a smear on the face of the fourth child.

So Mrs. Qin cordially asked the prince Concubine Kang to move to the Flower Hall, and when the two of them walked over, she faintly called Xie's.

Xie's identity is not as good as Pan's at the time, but he is calmer than her, pretending not to understand the twists and turns, and walking side by side with the sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry." Before leaving, the second princess sat opposite Fu Rong, hesitated for a moment and mustered the courage to persuade her, her little face blushing.

Fu Rong smiled at her: "The fourth sister-in-law is not angry. My sister will wait a while, and later we will go to meet the guests together."

The second princess nodded happily and looked at Fu Rong coaxing brother obediently.

Brother Zhu was a small man, and soon fell asleep. Fu Rong told the nurse to take care of Xu Ling in the house. She took the second princess's hand and walked out to chat with her. While chatting, the second princess suddenly remembered something and raised her head to Fu Rong and said, "Sister-in-law, I saw Brother Fu when I was out of the palace. I think Brother Ju looks a bit like him."

Brother Fu?

Fu Rong was stunned for a while to figure out who the second brother Fu was, and couldn't help asking, "My sister saw my brother? How did you recognize it?"

The second princess blushed again, and whispered: "I saw several Jin Wuwei guards standing there, and the leading one was very outstanding. I felt kind at first glance, and then I thought of Sisao. I remember four My sister-in-law said that Brother Fu was working in Jinwuwei, and guessed that the person should be Brother Fu, so she paid more attention to it. When she was about to go far, she heard someone calling him Master Fu."

"My sister is really smart." Fu Rong touched the little girl's head amusedly, but his brother was indeed handsome, only slightly inferior to Xu Jin.

The second princess smiled embarrassingly. It's not that she is smart, but that the fourth sister-in-law is good-looking, and her brother is good-looking, so it's hard to be ignored.

☆Chapter 171

???? King Su's Mansion celebrated the full moon for Brother Bi, and the house was full of guests. The three ladies from Jingyang Hou's Mansion had all gone out as guests, naturally deserted.

In the Wufutang, Shen Qing ordered the maids to move the old lady into a wheelchair: "The weather is good today. I will accompany the old lady to the garden to enjoy the flowers."

Since the old lady had a stroke and was bedridden, Wufutang and the maid beside Shen Qing were all replaced by Lin. The old lady couldn't say anything. Only Shen Qing was the only master left. If Shen Qing gave instructions, the maids would do everything they deserve, and they would not accept other unruly requests.

After two trials, Shen Qing was completely honest, just taking care of the old lady with peace of mind.

The old lady got sick in the beginning of spring last year. It is common for Shen Qing to push her to the garden. The two big maids, Afu, Axi, naturally followed their lives.

Ready, Shen Qing personally pushed the old lady, Afu Axi followed behind.

"Grandma, look at the peach blossoms over there. They are really blooming. I still remember that when we were young, my grandmother often took us to Xishan to enjoy flowers. Let's go and see." There are many flowers and trees in Houfu Garden, Shen Qing I looked around and headed towards Taohualin.

The old lady still couldn't move, and in those cloudy eyes, the spring scene was meaningless no matter how beautiful.

There is a river next to the Peach Blossom Forest. The lake in the Hou Mansion Garden is drawn from this river. Shen Qing glanced at the river at random. When she recovered, she accidentally found someone sitting by the river fishing, wearing a green bamboo spring shirt. , Hidden in the green grass by the river, if you don't observe carefully, you may not find it.

Shen Qing's pace was slow.

That is Lin Shaotang. The sixteen-year-old boy has already been selected as a talented person, with both talents and appearance. His father is also a high-ranking official in the family. No wonder the Lin family has long been dating, and he has left Fu Bao to be the magistrate.

"Cousin Tang!" Shen Qing stopped and shouted with a smile.

Lin Shaotang turned his head in surprise and saw that it was Shen Qing and the old lady. He quickly set the fishing rod and stood up, walked quickly over, and saluted the old lady: "Shaotang has seen the old lady, how are you doing better?"

Except for her lips, the only thing that the old lady can move is her eyes. Hearing this, Lin Shaotang glared at it.

Lin Shaotang was a little embarrassed. Although he is studying in the capital, he usually doesn't live in Houfu much. Most of the time he lives in Xishan Academy. He caught up with Chunwei this year, and his husband gave them a vacation or went out to make friends with the candidates, or Visit the mountains and rivers with the classmates who are about to travel, and make the last farewell.

Lin Shaotang followed Fu You. Today, Fu You will be alone with a good friend, and Lin Shaotang stayed in the Hou Mansion.

Seeing Lin Shaotang’s embarrassment, Shen Qing smiled and changed the subject: “Cousin Tang is fishing? May I be with my grandmother? The eldest cousin has an errand, and the second cousin has been busy socializing recently. I can accompany my grandmother. My grandmother is the only one who serves me. I'm tired of thinking about coming here. Cousin Tang's fishing is more fresh."

"This……"

Lin Shaotang was reluctant to get too close to Shen Qing. Fu Bao didn’t like Shen Qing, although in Lin Shaotang’s view, the reasons Fu Bao hated Shen Qing were a bit unreasonable. For example, Shen Qing coaxed the old lady to like her more than Fu Bao. It was just Fu Bao’s taste. But Fu Bao doesn't like it after all. What if you let Fu Bao know that he allows Shen Qing to watch him fishing and get angry with him?

But Shen Qing made this request out of filial piety to the old lady. He really couldn't find a reason to refuse.

Lin Shaotang lowered his head and said to the old lady: "That Shaotang is showing his ugliness."

The old lady stared at the gentle and polite boy in front of her, her eyes curled, she looked like she was smiling.

Lin Shaotang breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s not bad to make the old lady happy.

He led the way to the position where he had just fished, and Shen Qing pushed the old lady to follow.

Afu and Axi glanced at each other, a trace of anxiety rose in their hearts. Before arranging for them to come, the wife specifically explained that they should keep a close eye on the cousin, and not allow the cousin to interact with the young masters of the Hou Mansion or any foreigner. However, in this kind of situation, it is impossible for them as maids to watch the watch. Master fishing, otherwise they would not show affection to the girls, what would the master think?

Fortunately, the two are not alone together, should it be okay?

Just remind me to my wife.

When he reached the river, Shen Qing did not sit by Lin Shaotang, but obediently guarded by the old lady's wheelchair.

Lin Shaotang glanced over there secretly, and saw that Shen Qing didn't chirp like Fu Bao to disturb him fishing. He was relieved, paying attention to the movement in the water.

With three rods in the day, Lin Shaotang caught two fat fish in total.

He raised the fish bucket in front of the old lady and respectfully said, "Does the old lady like fish? If you like them, please add these two items for you."

The old lady's lips moved.

Shen Qing tilted her head and looked. She stood up straight after watching for a while, and said with a smile to Lin Shaotang: "Cousin Tang, grandma praises you for your filial piety. She also said that she would invite you to Wufutang for a meal at noon. Cousin Tang, grandma hasn't been like this for a long time. If you're happy, you should take it. Let me tell you that Wufutang's kitchen is the best at making fish."

If you go to Wufutang for dinner, you will definitely have to eat at the same table with Shen Qing. Even if the two are relatives, it is not appropriate.

Lin Shaotang hurriedly declined and gave a big gift to the old lady: "The old lady please, Shaotang was flattered, but it was unfortunate today that Shaotang had an appointment with a few classmates to go out to eat out at noon, and this was about to pass. Old lady If you don't dislike it, Shaotang will accompany you another day to relieve your boredom."

A gloom flashed in the old lady's eyes.

When Shen Qing saw it, she quietly blinked at Lin Shaotang: "Since Cousin Tang has an appointment, go quickly, the old lady won't mind."

Lin Shaotang gratefully bowed her hand, gathered the fishing rod and strode away.

Shen Qing pushed the old lady back to Wufutang, sent Afu and Axi's two maids out, sitting opposite the old lady, and whispering to her while beating her legs: "Grandma, I remember you didn’t like Tang very much before. Cousin's, what's the matter today?" The old lady didn't like Lin, and she didn't even wait to see Lin's relatives.

The old lady looked at her and smiled.

The grandfather and grandson are usually close. During this year, Shen Qing stayed close to the old lady, and could easily understand the meaning of every look in the old lady’s eyes. He blushed and bowed his head and said: "I know what my grandmother meant, Tang Biao Brother is really good, but he and Abao's childhood sweetheart are in love, what am I?"

The old lady made a whining sound.

Shen Qing raised her eyes and met the old lady's encouraging and sulky gaze. She bit her lip, "Okay, then I'll try."

The old lady looked at her approvingly.

One is a granddaughter and the other is a granddaughter. It stands to reason that both of them are in pain. But she has been ill for a year. The combined time the two granddaughters spend with her is not as much as the granddaughter spends a day with her. When I came over, I was concerned about a few sentences perfunctorily, and then left after clicking Mao. They are unkind, so don't blame her for being unrighteous. She loves whoever treats her best.

She gave her encouragement and had to help figure out a solution. The old lady motioned to Shen Qing to push her to the cage.

It's easy to do things if you have money.

☆Chapter 172

???? After sending the last wave of guests, Fu Rong walked back side by side with Xu Jin.

Fu Rong told Xu Jin about Xie's provocation against the princess.

"Prince, I didn't dislike her because of your doubts about your aunt's succession last time. I just think that the aunt's remarks are not appropriate. If the princess feels uncomfortable after hearing this, go back and complain to the prince. The prince blames the prince on the prince. Do it? Isn't this just doing nothing?"

In the current situation, King Cheng basically couldn't turn around. Xu Jin was originally the greatest threat in Donggong's eyes. Xie's words offended the other party, even if he poke the scar of the princess, didn't he take the initiative to pass the handle over? The men want to accomplish great things, and the female family members may not be able to help. If they want bad things, it is too simple. Princess Yongning's family is a lesson for the past.

Fu Rong was defensive against the princess, but he was all happy. Even if the princess was confirmed to have the intention of murdering Fu Ning, Fu Rong would not ask for verbal bargaining. He threw a knife on the princess by his heirs, and naturally he didn't want Xie to speak out. Not inferior to Xu Jin's reputation.

"Yes, Nongrong did a great job."

Xu Jin took Fu Rong's little hand and gave her a reassurance: "The father wants our brothers to live in harmony. He is most disliked by his daughter-in-law telling the truth. If you are a virtuous princess, your father will like you more." Fu Rong was really virtuous, and whispered in her ear: "It's okay to live well on the bright side. You don't need to treat them as concubines sincerely. They didn't treat you as a brother or sister anyway."

He was broken, Fu Rong scratched his palm, "I understand."

Xu Jin clenched her little hand that was troubling her, and the couple returned to Fuhuayuan together.

Brother Bi was still asleep, and seeing them coming back, the nurse and Xu Ling retreated together.

With the veil open on the bed, Fu Rong glanced at his son who was sleeping soundly. He turned around and poured a cup of tea for Xu Jin. He sat at the table and told him about his son's funny story: "Brother Ju'er is too much like you. He refused to hold him, and even got upset after being annoyed more often, and cried."

Xu Jin was very surprised: "Mother-in-law does not give him a hug?"

Fu Rong sighed, "Yeah, that brat is really uncommon."

Mei Xianglan has been helping her to take care of Brother Ju. When Brother Ju is awake, she refuses to touch them. Only when she wakes up at night to pee, the little guy cries so much that she can’t open her eyes or closes sleepily. His eyes are not disgusting that someone other than his mother takes care of him. In this way, every morning Brother Bi woke up completely and continued to cry until the nurse sent him to his mother.

Fu Rong was very happy when his son was so sticky to himself, but thinking of the regret on his face when his mother couldn't hold his grandson, Fu Rong wanted to slap his son twice on his butt, asking him to hurt his grandmother and two aunts.

Xu Jin has determined that his son has not inherited his own strange illness, so his son does not like to be held by others, and he does not care, but is very proud: "My son, is it easy for others to touch?"

Said to put down the tea bowl, and went to the bed to see his son.

After a leisurely afternoon, Fu Rong sat at the table and looked at the pair of sons, father and son on the bed. Lan Xiang suddenly called her outside, and Fu Rong greeted Xu Jin and went out, but it was the house where Mother Wen will receive today. The gift list is here. Fu Rong sat on the outside couch and looked at it. The first few pages were naturally owned by a few princes. After King Kang of the East Palace passed, it was the ceremony of becoming the palace.

Fu Rong hadn't seen Princess Cheng for a while, and he was a little embarrassed about Li Huarong's missed child.

Suddenly there was a loud cry from Brother Ju.

Fu Rong rushed in, and saw Xu Jin standing in front of the bed blankly, wet in front of him. Regardless of laughter, Fu Rong first signaled the two maids who came in to go out, and then hurried to his son's side, hugged the boy who had peeed off his father in his arms and gently coaxed him.

Hearing her mother's voice and smelling the smell of her mother's body, Brother Bi soon stopped crying and buried him in her arms and sobbed quietly.

Xu Jin had already taken off his robe at this moment and threw it on the chair.

Fu Rong stared at his face for a while, then smiled and said, "You didn't get the prince's face, right?"

Xu Jin gave her a fierce look.

Fu Rong didn't dare to tease him anymore, so he called two maids to come in and wait on him, and personally helped Bier to wash his face. After washing his face, Ge Er had a white and tender face, and his big eyes were clear. He stretched out his arms and legs to play on the bed. Before Xu Jin's anger had disappeared, he leaned over and grabbed his son's feet, holding him down and not telling him to move. Brother Ju thought he was going to play with him, so he grinned at him.

Xu Jin's heart softened suddenly, and bowed his head and kissed his son: "Next time you dare to be naughty again, when you grow up, your father won't teach you to ride a horse."

Fu Rong looked at him and smiled secretly.

Xu Jin was as careful with her son as she was. She upset him, Xu Jin would be angry and sneered at her. She took the initiative to please him, and he immediately returned it to her profitably and treated her in various ways. After all, he has her in his heart, and he is angry because she refuses to appreciate her and deliberately makes trouble with her, right? That's why she can easily forgive her offending.

This man, in terms of feelings, is actually really easy to satisfy.

When taking a bath at night, Xu Jin wanted to wash with her, but Fu Rong didn't let it go.

Today, she was officially out of confinement. Before, she could only wipe her body with a kerchief. It was a long time since she had a thorough bath. So Fu Rong asked the maids to prepare two buckets of water. The first bucket is for cleaning, and the second bucket is dedicated. For enjoyment.

Xu Jinpan has been looking forward to this evening for half a year. He has been waiting in the house. After waiting for a while, he heard the sound of the maids carrying water out. He was overjoyed, knowing that Fu Rong would be here soon. He hid to the door and waited, waiting for Fu Rong to pick her up and have a good time as soon as he walked in.

Unexpectedly, there was no movement outside.

Xu Jin frowned, walked out expressionlessly, and entered the bathroom. He saw Fu Rong leaning on the bathtub, slightly tilting his head, her beautiful eyes closed, Mei Xianglanxiang massaged her arms and helped her pinch her feet. Those slender legs protruded out of the water, resting on the edge of the boxwood bath tub, like a beautiful jade, and the five round toes are painted with water-red codan, which is breathtaking.

Xu Jin said nothing.

Needless to say, Mei Xianglanxiang lowered her head when she saw him and went out wittyly.

"Why is the prince here?"

Fu Rong opened his eyes and saw the faint-eyed man standing there, as if he had been scalded, and quickly put his leg down.

"I'm here to serve the princess." Xu Jin said dumbly, **** his robe while walking towards the tub, and only a pair of middle trousers remained in front of the tub.

Having been a husband and wife for so long, Fu Rong didn't push him out anymore in this situation. He grabbed the towel on the side to block his chest, closed his eyes and waited for him to come in. His face flushed even more red. Such as ripe fruit tempting to pick.

But Xu Jin didn't go in. He leaned over, fished out Fu Rong's beautiful leg, and helped her pinch her foot just like Lan Xiang did.

Fu Rong opened his eyes unexpectedly, but saw that Xu Jin's hands were honest, but his eyes were staring into the water.

Fu Rong was extremely embarrassed in this posture, and instinctively stretched out his hand to cover it: "Master..."

"Does it hurt?" Xu Jin finally moved his gaze to her face, slowly moving his hand down her ankle and leaning into the water.

He was tall and had long arms, so he moved her hand rascally to help her.

Fu Rong bit her lips tightly.

It seems to have tasted the feeling that he used the jade tube to apply medicine to her again, but this time the jade tube was replaced with his fingers.

"Is the princess still satisfied?" Xu Jin kept looking at her, watching the various expressions on her face because of his service, frowning and biting her lip, turning her head and exclaiming, just like looking at a peony attacked by wind and rain. nice.

The rain gradually increased, and the peony flower couldn't bear it. He pressed his hands violently, and water drops on his face slipped. I don't know whether it was sweat or water. Zhu's lips were lightly open, and he could not make a sound when he wanted to beg.

She panted lightly, her eyes closed tightly.

Xu Jin slowly retracted his hand, raised his long legs and stepped into the tub, hugged the person on his lap, face to face.

Only then did Fu Rong know that his hand just now was just a small storm.

The storm struck suddenly, and she fell on his shoulder, unable to think of anything.

He is like a wolf who has been trapped for too long, suddenly freed, and desperately to prove his past majesty to the grassland.

Fu Rong was the grassland, completely conquered by him, letting him walk like the wind, feeling his wild power every time.

When it finally calmed down, almost all the water in the tub went outside, and the ground was wet.

Obviously he was running, but Fu Rong was too tired to move. Xu Jin kissed her, fished her out of the tub, and walked steadily towards the inner room.

Mei Xianglanxiang came in to clean up, saw the mess all over the floor, and both blushed at the thought of what they heard while waiting in the yard.

It is good that the prince loves the princess so much.

But they obviously underestimated the prince's love for the princess. After cleaning the bathroom, Mei Xiang went back to the lower room behind her. Lan Xiang was on duty tonight. She closed the door and was about to turn around. Suddenly, she heard the familiar creak of the bed board from the inner room.

Lan Xiang glanced at the door bolt that had fallen in front of him, sighed helplessly, reopened the door, and secretly missed the day when the princess was pregnant.

The bed here creaked and creaked non-stop, Jingyanghoufu, the upper room had already calmed down.

Lin lay on his back, thinking of the words Afu Axi had returned, feeling uneasy.

Shen Qing's girl is not simple. Lin admitted that her mother had a stroke, she might not be able to wait on her body without complaint, but Shen Qing was able to keep the old lady clean and tidy, and she was praised repeatedly by her husband, and she specially asked her to pick a door for Shen Qing. Good marriage, don't worry about the mistakes Shen Qing once made impulsively.

Lin was angry that her husband was easily deceived by Shen Qing, but she had no evidence to prove that Shen Qing was secretly concealed. After all, even if Shen Qing took care of her grandmother carefully in order to ask her uncle to forgive her in the future and marry a good family, this is also human nature, husband Will not take it to heart. After all, Shen Qing is his niece. For the orphan left by his sister, the husband has been taking care of the daughter. Shen Qing is angry, but he will forgive him.

Therefore, she cannot speak ill of Shen Qing in front of her husband.

Including Lin Shaotang, her nephew, she couldn't call people to her side to remind him to stay away from Shen Qing. Men think differently from women. Many women care about things that men don’t care about. If you tell him, people might even think you are narrow-minded.

Tell Lin Shaotang that Shen Qing once wanted to seduce the prince?

This is what an aunt should say to a nephew and a future son-in-law? Moreover, there is no proof, it may be counterproductive, making Lin Shaotang misunderstand that her expectant mother-in-law is deliberately having trouble with an orphan girl, showing that she is small, or causing her nephew to suspect that what the daughter said in front of her, that she is acting for her daughter.

Lin knew his nephew very well, he was a modest and courteous young man, unless he saw it with his own eyes, he would not doubt that Shen Qing approached him intentionally. Maybe Lin can completely cut off Shen Qing's thoughts before Shen Qing makes a move and not give her a chance, but what about in the future? In the future, the daughter will marry the nephew, and the young couple is no longer in front of her. If a woman with a bad heart approaches her nephew, she will rely on her daughter's temper, and will not take the initiative to push the man to her.

Lin believes in his nephew's feelings for his daughter, and he will never take the initiative to provoke the grass to disappoint his daughter. What Lin is most afraid of is that his nephew is deceived.

Shen Qing could solve it well, but she had to let her nephew see the woman's scheming. After suffering, he would not give those people a chance in the future.

The next morning, Lin ordered someone to call two maids, Afu and Axi.

Afu Axi came soon, standing in front of her respectfully. Just as Lin was about to speak, he unexpectedly discovered that something was wrong with the two girls. Ah Fu looked calmly, Axi lowered his eyes, and unconsciously clenched his cuff with his right hand.

It was not like this when they reported things back and forth yesterday afternoon.

Lin moved in his heart, and did not speak for the time being. After using a cup of tea slowly, he said lightly: "Why, you want me to be tortured, so are you willing to confess?"

Axi's legs softened, she threw herself down on her knees, and repeatedly kowtowed: "Madam misunderstood. The servant girl didn't want to hide his wife. I wanted to report to Madam Ming after the lady gave her instructions!"

Ah Fu also knelt down and begged for mercy.

Lin looked down at them, "Okay, what did she do after you went back yesterday, tell me about it."

Actually, you don't have to ask, you can guess that if Shen Qing wants to make a move, she must first buy two maids to do things for her, and help her conceal the truth.

At this moment, Lin is extremely grateful that Afu Axi was originally only a third-class maid in her courtyard. She has not yet practiced her kung fu. After doing bad things, it is difficult to face her as the mistress of the house calmly. Get angry, I'm afraid she is really going to stumble on a little girl.

☆Chapter 173

???? Ah Fu Axi returned to Wu Fu Tang.

Shen Qing had been waiting for them for a long time, took a close look at the two of them, and asked with a smile: "What does Madam do with you?"

Axi looked at Afu.

Ah Fu calmly said: "Madam reminds us that if the girl wants to mention that you fished with Master Biao when the four girls came, we must find a way to interrupt the girl and not let the four girls know about it."

Shen Qing nodded: "Understood, Afu, let's go down first. Axi stayed and helped me cut my nails. It was a bit long."

Afu retreated calmly.

Shen Qing watched her go out, turned around and sat on the couch, lazily. Axi obediently went to get the scissors, picked up the embroidered stool and placed it in front of the couch, really cutting her nails. This maid had a much simpler mind than Ah Fu. Shen Qing smiled, motioned her to put down the scissors, and asked her softly, "What did the maid tell you?"

Axi raised her eyes in surprise, as if she didn't understand why she asked: "It's what Afu said just now. Madam is probably afraid that the four girls will get angry when they know about it. Yesterday we, Madam did not expect it when we replied, but today she deliberately Remind us... Ah, doesn't the girl believe us?"

In hindsight, she stood up nervously, eagerly and faithfully: "Girl, what we said is true, you, will you not break your promise?"

Shen Qing stared at her closely.

Yesterday, the two maids came back from the front yard. She deliberately broke the old lady’s most precious emerald bracelet to threaten them to listen to her, otherwise she and the old lady would blame them for the broken bracelet. The wife was angry, and the Lin family couldn't keep them. They could be punished at home or sold out or even put in prison. The two Afu and Axi were so scared that they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. She sent another sweet jujube, and each gave a hundred taels of silver tickets to ask them to do things for her. In the future, if she gets what she wants, she will give each one another hundred taels.

Using Enwei together, Shen Qing was willing to believe them, but she did not dare to believe them all.

He took out a silver ingot of five taels from his arms, Shen Qing weighed it, and whispered to Axi: "Axi, I believe in you, but I don't believe in Afu, this piece of silver is for you. If you find something wrong with Ah Fu, such as secretly revealing what I'm going to do to your wife, just tell me, and I will reward you with 50 taels of silver once you find it."

Axi was overjoyed and thanked her after taking the money: "Don't worry, girl, Axi will listen to the girl in the future!"

Shen Qing smiled with satisfaction, "Okay, go back first, hide your silver, and don't let her see it."

Axi left happily.

Going back to the lower room and seeing Ah Fu sitting at the door of her own room playing with needlework, she immediately greeted her. Axi made a "hush" gesture towards her companion, and after entering the house excitedly told Afu what Shen Qing had done, and showed off a new silver ingot.

Ah Fu was a little envious.

But the lady said, as long as they cooperate with the cousin, don't show any flaws that have betrayed the cousin in front of the cousin. In the future, the money given by the cousin will be theirs. In this way, they don't have to worry about being condemned by their wife after the incident, but they also have a lot of money to take. Why not?

"I didn't see it, you can act better than me." Ah Fu nodded his companion's forehead affectionately.

Axi smiled and said, "Isn't it because of your suggestion?" She was not an ungrateful person, and turned out a silver ingot of two or two to Afu: "Sister, don't be polite to me. I can't be a wife without you. The third-class maid, let alone pick this beautiful job. In the future, we will be blessed and have the same difficulties, remind each other, let's do this job well together!"

Ah Fu nodded happily.

What Shen Qing asked them to do was to find out when Lin Shaotang would go to the garden.

Shen Qing heard that Fu Pinchuan had mentioned several marriage candidates with the old lady. They were all the sons of foreign officials. It seems that the uncle admired her filial piety to the old lady because she was unwilling to keep it because of her intention to marry into the East Palace. She is in the capital. Since everyone has to leave Beijing to marry, and there is no chance to contact the foreigner next to him right now, instead of letting Lin choose a man who seems to be a good man, she might as well choose herself.

Needless to say, Lin Shaotang, Shen Qing knows a little bit about him. Fu You is unreasonable because Fu Bao looks at her cousin coldly, but Lin Shaotang is not. He would deliberately avoid her because of Fu Bao, but the two really ran into each other, and Lin Shaotang would not show her a cold face. It can be seen that Lin Shaotang either doesn't like Fu Bao much or is soft-hearted, as long as she plans well. , Shen Qing is confident that he can deal with this man, even if he can't get his heart, he can still get his pity and respect.

The trouble is the Lin family, that is the Lin family.

But Shen Qing is not particularly worried. Lin Shaotang's grandmother is gone, most of her grandfather and father will not like her, but they are men and shouldn't deliberately embarrass her a little daughter-in-law. Lin Shaotang’s mother Tong, Tong and Lin can’t be said to be very close. According to the old lady, the two also had a rift because of Lin Chuxia’s marriage with Fu You, so she only needed to derogate Lin after she married a few more words, such as Lin Gao looked down on her natal family after getting married, and Tong should not criticize her for stealing Fu Bao's marriage.

After waiting for a long time, March was almost over, and finally Shen Qing waited until Lin Shaotang went to the garden alone.

Shen Qing deliberately changed into a lilac purple make-up suit, and led Ah Fu to the garden.

Lin Shaotang also dressed up specially today, wearing a crescent-white round-neck gown with a goat fat moiré jade pendant around her waist, and rushed to the peony bushes in the Houfu Garden early to wait for her sweetheart to come. The two have gradually grown up. It's not like they wanted to play together as they did when they were young. It doesn't matter if they meet occasionally.

Today, my uncle and aunt went out together as a guest. Fu Ding entered the palace as an errand, and Fu You closed the door to prepare for the April examination. Lin Shaotang couldn't sit still, so someone quietly handed a note to Fu Bao and asked her to come here to enjoy the flowers.

In order to pretend to be a chance encounter, Lin Shaotang asked Chang Sui Qianli to set up an easel among the peony flowers, and he pretended to paint.

"Master, the four girls are here!" Qianli has been paying attention to the movement of the road. After seeing the flowers, a little girl came over here. It must be the fourth girl, and she said with joy without looking at her face.

Lin Shaotang hung up the paintbrush excitedly and turned around.

Although the distance was far away, it was enough for him to see who came.

He squinted at the little boy next to him who had curled his neck and bowed his head, then sat back on the chair, and hesitated when he lifted the paintbrush.

Continue to paint, I am afraid that I will be confronted with Shen Qing. Lin Shaotang does not want to deal with her, but now he is gone, what if Fu Bao can't find him?

He coughed slightly, and whispered a thousand miles.

It was a bit rude, but he could only do this. He hadn't spoken to Fu Bao for a long time, and he thought tightly. In half a month, he will go back to Xishan to study. Lin Shaotang didn't want to miss this rare opportunity.

Qianli got the order. Seeing Shen Qing walking towards this side lightly, she clearly saw that they had no intention of evading, Qianli hurried over before the master and servant walked into the peony flowers, bowing their heads. Qing pleaded guilty, and whispered: "The little one has seen a girl with a watch, did the girl come here to enjoy the peony?"

Shen Qing shook her head with a smile, not high or low: "The old lady likes peonies. I want to pick some flowers for her back. I didn't expect Cousin Tang to be there. Why, he is painting?"

Qianli nodded: "Yes, the master left for the schoolwork. The young master told me to look around and don't let any noisy servant disturb him. If the girl just picks the flowers, can you move there? The young one thanked my young master first. Up."

"Yes, then you continue to guard, Afu, let's go over there, speak quietly, and don't make any noise to the young master." Shen Qing thoughtfully and honestly, and walked away generously.

Thousands of miles unexpectedly this girl is so understanding.

Ah Fu secretly admired Shen Qing's scheming, and he clearly rushed to Lin Shaotang, and suddenly something went wrong, so he could be so flexible.

Shen Qing folded a few peony flowers and left. When she walked halfway, she saw Fu Bao walking over with a wooden cart. The fourteen-year-old girl was wearing a pink jacket and lifelike peony beads on her head. , With bright eyes and white teeth, brisk footsteps, innocent and charming.

"Four sisters." Shen Qing greeted her with a smile.

Fu Baozheng was teasing his fat nephew in the small wooden car. Hearing the voice raised his head, he didn't want to pay attention. Seeing the peony flower in Shen Qing's hand, his face changed: "Did you go picking the peony?"

Shen Qing smiled and nodded, raised Er Qiao Peony in her hand and sniffed, and softly reminded: "By the way, cousin Tang is painting over there. I heard that it was the schoolwork that the husband explained, and the fourth sister still took Da Lang to go. Let’s play somewhere nearby, lest cousin Tang is noisy."

Fu Bao hated Shen Qing, especially when Shen Qing called Lin Shaotang "Cousin Tang", she couldn't wait to stop Shen Qing's mouth.

That is the title only she can call.

Just about to stare at Shen Qing, Fu Bao suddenly remembered Fu Rong's words.

She complained to Fu Rong that Shen Qing always greeted others with a smile. Even when she scolded her, Shen Qing laughed. A smile made her angry more than a reply. Fu Rong told her that Shen Qing knew that a smile was better than a reply. It made her laugh unhappily. The more she gets angry, the more proud Shen Qing will be. If she doesn't care, Shen Qing will be equally frustrated.

Thinking of Fu Rong’s self-confident appearance, Fu Bao forcibly swallowed the fire, and said with a sweet smile to Shen Qing: “Please remind me, but I’m not afraid of that nerd. This is my home. I can go wherever I want. Where to go, he can't control me, right Da Lang?"

He walked over from Shen Qing's side and continued to hum a little song to his nephew.

"fool!"

Da Lang sat in the car, staring at his aunt with squishy eyes, trying to talk like her.

Fu Bao looked at his nephew, but Shen Qing had an unexpected look in his mind, and he was in a good mood.

But no matter how good she was, she felt uncomfortable. After seeing Lin Shaotang, she stared and asked: "Did you just be with Shen Qing?"

Lin Shaotang was most afraid of her misunderstanding, and quickly stopped Qianli who wanted to avoid it, and asked him to explain it to Fu Bao.

"He and you are in the same group, who knows if what he said is true or false?" Fu Bao didn't believe it, and turned the car to leave.

Lin Shaotang was in a hurry. Seeing that he turned thousands of miles away, Fu Bao really wanted to leave. He plucked up the courage to hold down the hand of the little girl pushing the wooden cart and blushed and said: "Baby, you believe me, I will invite you today. Out again
