After meeting Jia Mu, Jia Lian returned home.

As soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, he heard the maid in the east chamber shouting to the door: "Second Grandma, the Second Master is back!"

Jia Lian heard the sound and turned towards the door. When I walked to the east wing, I saw Sister Feng walking out with Sister Qiao in her arms, rocking her at the same time.

Jia Lian saw tears on the little girl’s face and asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Hey, it’s nothing, I just accidentally touched the doorpost. After a while, the medicine has been applied."

As he spoke, he handed Sister Qiao to Jia Lian, and then Sister Feng smiled and said: "Is the Marquis tired today? I have asked someone to put the bath in. The water is full, so the Marquis can take a bath first and then have dinner."

"Qingwen, I won't help you second master to take a bath."

At this time, Jia Lian had already confirmed that Sister Qiao was fine, wiped her tears with his thumb, and then looked at Sister Feng.

Since Jia Mu already knew what was going on in the palace, she had just called him to "teach him". There was no reason that Sister Feng didn't know about it.

Since she is so calm, Jia Lian is not in a hurry to talk to her, it is not a matter of honor anyway. So he nodded, handed Sister Qiao to the wet nurse, and walked towards the west bathroom.

In the steaming bathroom, everything has been prepared.

After Qingwen took off Jia Lian’s clothes, she pointed at a small bruise on Jia Lian’s shoulder and neck and shouted, “Why are there bruises here?”

Jia Lian glanced down and said nonchalantly: "It shook when I was practicing the gun, it doesn't bother me."

"Practice the gun? How could it hurt here when practicing the gun?" Qingwen's face was full of doubts. Expressing inability to understand.

Jia Lian didn’t blame her. This girl probably didn’t even know whether he was talking about the red tassel gun or the gunpowder gun, and he didn’t bother to explain too much to her.

"Does it hurt, Mr. Er?"

"A little."

"Then let me give Mr. Er a good rub later. It will be fine once the bruises are rubbed away."

After stripping Jia Lian naked and putting him into the water, Qingwen walked to the door and took a look outside, closed the bathroom door, and then left. He went to the shelf nearby and began to undress himself.

Seeing Jia Lian looking back at her, she also explained: "It's inconvenient to squat outside and rub it for me, so it's better to come down and exert more force..."

The fact is, even if Jia Lian and Sister Feng were at home, and they didn't take a bath in the bath every day. Now that spring is getting colder, it would be so comfortable and luxurious to have a pool of hot water to take a bath. Qingwen also wanted to be part of Jia Lian's glory.

And what she said was right, squatting on the edge of the pool was not very convenient whether it was to scrub Jia Lian's body or massage her shoulders and neck.

There is nothing overstepping the mark. In the past, the second master used to take a bath in a big wooden bucket and often caught her and Xiangling in it to play, let alone this big pool.

Out of ten times, seven or eight times, he would take the initiative to let them bathe with him, which saves them the trouble of bathing alone.

Sure enough, Jia Lian had no intention of blaming her, but asked: "Where is Xiangling?"

At this time, Qingwen had already stripped herself down to just one piece. Covering her body with a jade-white bellyband, holding a pair of extremely small and exquisite jade feet, she stepped into the water from the edge of the pool.

Hearing this, he said: "I know her. She feels weird today."

"How should I say?"

"Me too I don’t know, but after I went to Dongfu with my second grandma, I felt weird when I came back and didn’t talk much. When I asked her if she was being scolded by her second grandma, she didn’t say anything. She just looked at me and smiled, which was weird. "

Seeing that Qingwen couldn't explain it, Jia Lian didn't care. Instead, he turned his head and stared at the little girl's underwater figure, and said with a smile: "Since you want to come down and bathe with me, what's the point of wearing one?

You have already seen me, You're still hiding it, are you being honest?"

Qingwen was immediately embarrassed. Facing Jia Lian's scrutiny, she hesitated for three seconds, then shyly reached behind her back and pulled the thread of her bellyband. open.

The jade-white bellyband that had lost its restraints was like a lively little rabbit, rushing out of the water and swaying along with the water waves in the pool, which was very attractive.

Jia Lian smiled slightly and hooked his hands at the little girl. The beautiful, slim and slim person snuggled up to him obediently.

　……

Knowing that Sister Feng was waiting, Jia Lian did not make any fuss with Qingwen in the bathroom.

After getting dressed, he returned to the main room. As expected, Sister Feng had already arranged the food and served him to sit down and eat.

"I know you don't like sweet food, so I specially asked the kitchen to put less sugar in these dishes. Try it, do you think it tastes good?"

See it in person The dishes on the table are all what he usually likes to eat. And Sister Feng has obviously become extremely virtuous today. Not only does she stand and serve him dishes, but her words are also extremely gentle.

Jia Lian got used to it for a while, but found that he was still not used to it, so he said: "You should change back to your original appearance. I am not used to you being so virtuous."

“Pfft~”

Jia Lian’s words, not only did Sister Feng's bright smile freeze, but even Ping'er, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but smile.

But the popping sound was not made by Ping'er, but came from outside the curtain. Jia Lian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Apart from Qingwen, he didn't know any other girl in the room who was so bold and dared to laugh at Sister Feng.

But Jia Lian couldn’t tell who it was just from the sound.

After being "ridiculed" by Jia Lian, Sister Feng couldn't keep it off her face. She rolled her eyes at Jia Lian angrily and finally sat down.

Ping'er came forward and took over Sister Feng's work, serving the dishes for the two masters.

Although in order to match her status, Sister Feng had already separated an area in Dongci and set up tables and chairs for the dining room.

However, the couple was still accustomed to eating on the Kang table in the west room as before.

This kang table is suitable for two people to sit across from each other, so if Jia Lian is not at home, Ping'er can get Sister Feng's grace and sit together to eat with her.

Once he came back, he couldn’t.

However, Jia Lian was always considerate of the people in the house, and was afraid that Ping'er would be greedy for the dishes on the table, so he picked up a small piece of fish, made sure it was boneless, and then raised his hand and handed it to Ping'er's lips. .

Although Ping'er was embarrassed, it was not the first time Jia Lian had done this, so he glanced at Sister Feng's expression and opened his mouth obediently.

Chewing the fish meat fed by the second master himself, the meat is fragrant, and my heart is even more fragrant.

Sister Feng, who watched the whole process, secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that Ping'er had a tendency to fall in love with Jia Lian. If this continues, this girl's heart will not be completely affected. Once you win over him, you won’t even recognize him anymore!

After dinner in peace and harmony, after Ping'er and the maids put away the tableware, Sister Feng said: "I heard that the old lady is looking for you..."
< br />Seeing that the ladies finally lost their composure, Jia Lian stopped pretending to be confused.

He nodded and said: "It's for palace matters."

Sister Feng's expression also became serious, "The old lady also asked me to come over before... The Imperial Concubine. I wrote a letter and sent it, saying..."

Sister Feng tried her best to use a calm tone and asked: "What the imperial concubine said is true. The Supreme Emperor seriously rejected the proposal between you and the princess. Marriage?"

Jia Lian nodded again: "That's right."

Sister Feng's expression wrinkled up and her eyes rolled. Deliberately suppressing the joy in his heart and showing sadness, in order to achieve the purpose of empathizing with Jia Lian.

But I also feel that if this would appear too hypocritical, Jia Lian will definitely be able to tell with his IQ!

Therefore, I feel extremely entangled in my heart.

Jia Lian glanced at her, how could he not see through her little tricks.

Not intending to argue with her, Jia Lian said: "So, let's leave it like this for the time being regarding the princess. You don't have to hold it in. If you're happy, just laugh out. It won't be good if you hold it in and break your health. Yes."

Hearing what Jia Lian said, Sister Feng knew that her thoughts had indeed been seen through.

In this way, she completely put away her inner joy and sighed: "You have always regarded me as an ignorant woman in your heart. Naturally, you thought that I would only be happy to know the news.

But in fact, when I heard the old lady say this, I felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

Not for myself, but for the princess.
>
Although I have only met her once, just from the words you and she have said to me, I know how much the eldest princess likes you and cares about you!

Although she is a princess, her experience has been rough. As a princess, in order to be with you, she is willing to follow you for so long without any name or status. She does not care at all about her own reputation or what others think of her.

To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to do it.

It’s so easy to have your child, and the opportunity to be with you legitimately, but I wish I could just At the beginning, I was shattered.

I don’t know how the princess could bear such a blow. Thinking about this, I only felt uncomfortable in my heart, how could I be happy.

Besides, don’t I know that if the princess really marries you, having her help will be of great benefit to your career? If I don’t even have this vision, I will be in vain for so many years as the young mistress. ”

Sister Feng said, not only did her voice become more and more emotional, but her eyes even became moist, and it was obvious that she was about to shed tears at the next moment.

Jia Lian saw it in his eyes. Although he didn't know whether Sister Feng's statement was true or false, she could say this at this time, and Jia Lian agreed with her.

So he reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes and comforted: "You don't have to worry too much, she is far stronger than you think."

"I know. , she is a very good person, I can't compare to her in this regard."

Sister Feng nodded, and suddenly asked: "What about the child in the princess's belly?"
>
Child... Since the Supreme Emperor vetoed him on the grounds that it would bring harm to the Tian family’s face,If they get married, it is naturally impossible to keep this child.

The Queen Mother has clearly told him this.

Although Jia Lian did not answer, Sister Feng already knew the answer. She hurriedly took Jia Lian's hand and said: "You don't have to be too sad. There are still days to come. Even if you and the princess's child is gone, there will still be opportunities in the future..."

Sister Feng Jia Lian was so scared that he went against the Tian family for the sake of his and Princess Zhaoyang's child.

Jia Lian could see that Sister Feng was worried, but in fact these people were overly worried. As a guest of later generations, although Jia Lian cares about his own bloodline, a life that has not yet been born, that is, an embryo, will not make Jia Lian lose his mind.

Now that Sister Feng knew everything she needed to know, Jia Lian didn’t want to say anything more to her, so he stood up and prepared to walk out.

"It's so late, where are you going?"

"Look outside."

Jia Lian responded casually, just because Sister Feng Er had stopped restricting his whereabouts a long time ago. He thought Sister Feng was just asking casually.

But he realized that he seemed to have thought wrong. Sister Feng quickly stepped forward to grab his arm and said with a smile: "If the second master has nothing important to do, just rest at home first. Can you please guess something interesting?"

"Something interesting?" Jia Lian looked confused.

Sister Feng did not talk around in circles. After pulling Jia Lian back to sit down, she clapped her hands and said to the door: "Xiang Ling, come in."

Following Sister Feng After Er finished speaking, Xiang Ling soon saw Xiang Ling walking in from the main hall.

She was wearing a long goose-yellow coat, a blue satin waistcoat, and a moon-white pleated skirt underneath. The whole thing looks beautiful and clean.

Exactly how Xiang Ling always dressed up.

Therefore, Jia Lian didn't notice anything wrong at first glance, but when he saw Sister Feng looking at him meaningfully from the corner of his eye, Jia Lian became suspicious.

This suspicion revealed some clues.

First of all, although Xiang Ling’s dress and expression in front of her are the same as before, but upon closer inspection, it is not difficult to find that this girl seems to have suddenly grown taller.

Secondly, according to Xiangling's temperament, although she is a bit slow, she has not fallen behind on the rules she should know after being in the mansion for so many years. She is even more sensible and obedient than Qingwen and others.

Xiangling in front of him, since he walked in, only looked at him and Sister Feng with seemingly innocent eyes, standing blankly, not knowing how to salute and say hello.

When you have doubts in your heart, you will not be easily confused if you look at her other performances.

Jia Lian raised his eyebrows: "Are you... Rong's daughter-in-law?"

God knows what Jia Lian was thinking the moment he asked this question. He almost instinctively turned to look at Sister Feng, wanting to find the answer from Sister Feng.

After "Xiang Ling" heard Jia Lian's question, her honest but dull expression instantly became vivid.

She asked in confusion: "What did the second master say, Rong's daughter-in-law? Grandma Xiaorong is in Dongfu, and her servant is Xiangling!"

Yes, you can still confuse the truth without speaking. As soon as you speak, Jia Lian confirmed it.

Although this girl was holding her throat and trying to imitate Xiangling's voice, there was still some difference in timbre.

Others might not be able to tell the difference, but Jia Lian, who was used to hearing their babbling or umming sounds, how could he be confused.

So, Jia Lian looked at Sister Feng and asked with a face full of questions

Da Nier, what do you want to do?

Sister Feng's face was full of pride, she glanced at Jia Lian quietly, and then said to Ping'er: "Look, I said that your second master is very monkey-like, and we have this How can you hide this trick from him?"

Ping'er smiled knowingly and made no comment.

Sister Feng called "Xiang Ling" forward, took her hand and looked her up and down, then turned to Jia Lian and said: "The makeup on her face is all Ping'er and Ni. It took a lot of effort to describe it. In my opinion, it is no different from the real thing. How on earth can you see it at a glance?"

Jia Lian smiled and looked at the "fragrance" in front of him. "Ling". To be honest, he didn't really see it at first glance.

After all, these two girls were very similar to each other originally. Now they have changed their makeup and clothes. If it weren’t for the age difference between the two, which would lead to some differences in body size, even if It's him, but I'm afraid he won't be able to confirm his identity so quickly.

Without replying to Sister Feng’s words, Jia Lian asked: “Why are you dressing her up like Xiangling? Where is Xiangling girl?”

Sister Feng chuckled, she I don't believe that Jia Lian couldn't guess their intentions. The stinky man was just pretending to be confused!

"You care so much about your Xiangling girl, go to Dongfu to find her. I have nothing to do, thinking that Rong's daughter-in-law and Xiangling girl are so similar. If they dress up, they won't Do you know if you can guess it?

I didn’t expect you to see through it at a glance, it’s boring. Didn’t you just go out? I haven’t talked to her for a few days, you go outWell, it's best not to come back tonight and let her sleep next to me! "

Listening to Sister Feng's words, Jia Lian admired in his heart: These ladies are really amazing at what they do.

Originally thought they were just asking Qin Keqing to dress up as Xiangling and play house. , but they didn’t expect that the real Xiang Ling had been sent to Dongfu by them.

It is conceivable that Xiang Ling over there must have become another "Qin Keqing".

What a scene where Li Daitao is frozen!

Looking at Qin Keqing, who pouted and looked at him with pity because of the failure of the performance, Jia Lian moved his legs. , finally picked up a cup of tea next to him and squinted his eyes to taste it.

Don’t say that he was fine, even if something happened, he couldn’t leave at this time. If he did, he would be a fool.
