Chapter 135 Where Is Madam

Xiangfu has two gardens, a front garden and a back garden.

The front garden is not as big as the back garden. The two gardens are connected by a lake, but separated by buildings.

A large part of the back garden was built later, embezzling the land of the residential area. This matter was controversial, but later the old lady bought the land with money, and the matter was settled.

There is a row of bamboo groves in the back garden. This bamboo grove existed before. The Xiangfu just built a wall to enclose this area, and then built several gazebos in the back garden, and built a rockery in the lake.

However, few people came to this back garden in the past few years, because there were poisonous snakes infested in the bamboo forest. Prime Minister Xia ordered people to treat it, but it was still not thorough. As time passed, no one dared to come.

Madam Linglong came to report just now, saying that Mrs. Yuan would come here, so the old lady had no choice but to shift her position. If it was a normal day, she would not come to the back garden.

The drama set up today is to let Yuan Shi go out, because she is now blind, and she doesn't like to socialize with other people, so even if she goes out, she can only sit in the gazebo by herself.

She arranged for Chen Er to go up and talk to Yuan Shi so that people could hear their quarrel. Chen Er would reveal his personal relationship with Yuan Shi in words, so that everyone would be in an uproar, and then proceeded with the second plan.

However, if Mrs. Yuan didn't come out, this idea would not work, so she changed her mind and said bad things about Mrs. Yuan in front of Concubine Cui and the old dowager, which aroused the sympathy of the old dowager and Dowager Cui, then distracted Madam Yang, and then Let Chen Er mix in and do the trick that didn't work last time again.

In that way, she can take Concubine Cui and the old lady over there, and she can be caught upright.

Therefore, when Concubine Cui asked her to tell Yuan Shi to come out, she objected, because Yuan Shi was scolded by the concubine first when she came out.

However, Madam Linglong came to tell her that Yuan Shi would go to the back garden. It was simply God's blessing to the prime minister's mansion, and the sky would destroy Yuan Shi.

Walking along this road, walking leisurely, looking at the scenery of the lake, and looking at the flowers in the yard, several maids followed from a distance, butterflies and bees playing on the flowers, a wonderful scene.

Over there, Mrs. Linglong with long sleeves and good dancers also went to the back garden with a group of noble ladies, saying that she was showing everyone the newly planted peonies and chrysanthemums.

Xia Wan'er and Xia Fang'er talked about their plan in private, and Xia Fang'er was very excited. She is a prickly person, and she likes to see people making fools of themselves and making jokes, so the two of them also led those noble ladies and gentlemen to the back garden. go.

After Prime Minister Xia received King Liang, he revealed in his words that there was a row of bamboo forests in the back garden. Literati and inkmen liked bamboo forests the most, and they proposed to go to see them. Naturally, Prime Minister Xia was happy to take them there.

In this way, four groups of people went to the back garden of Xiangfu before and after.

Zian stood in front of the corridor, looking at these people, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing everyone going to the back garden, Chen Liuliu felt very bored, "Those young masters are all around them."

Zian smiled, "Do you want to play with them?"

"I don't want to, but if you don't play, you won't be able to find your husband and son-in-law." Chen Liuliu said lonely.

Zian looked at her big eyes that suddenly became melancholy, "Liu Liu, actually you don't have to believe in anything about fate."

Chen Liuliu looked at her, "I don't know, I have always believed in it, I don't want to die, the world is so beautiful."

Being alive has also become a problem for Chen Liuliu. Zi'an suddenly discovered that many people just want to live. A woman like Chen Liuliu, in order to change what she thinks is her established destiny, obviously doesn't like those sons and sisters, but she has to socialize , or marry yourself out.

She took a step forward and led Chen Liuliu to the back garden slowly.

The originally noisy courtyard seemed a little quiet due to the departure of a large number of people. Several servants were cleaning up the garbage on the ground and refreshments on the table, preparing for the noon banquet.

"Believe in your so-called fate, and then marry someone you don't like, isn't it too risky?" Zian was thinking about something, so he said to Chen Liuliu perfunctorily.

Chen Liuliu looked at her, the sun shone in her eyes, and there was a gleam in her eyes, "Look at what you said, a man who is really full doesn't know that a hungry man is hungry, he can't even live well, how can he find someone he likes? Besides , love is not the whole of life, living is the most important thing, if you can live well, of course you can talk to me about your dreams, talk about love, try it, someone told you since you were young, you will die if you don’t get married when you are nineteen , because there is no husband gang to help you through the catastrophe, I believe you will be the same as me."

Zi'an's astonishing views on Chen Liuliu always have a sense of time travel. She thinks that Chen Liuliu is the girl who came through time travel. She is more than enough to match Xiao Tuo, at least better than those vulgar fans.

I really don't know what is going on in Xiao Tuo's mind.

"By the way, have you met Xiao Tuo?" Zi'an asked, looking at the people walking farther and farther ahead, he began to estimate the time.

"I've seen him, he hasn't seen me."

"Oh?" Zi'an looked sideways at her.

"Grandmother had a private talk with the old lady of the Hou Mansion, and she wanted to marry me, so I went to see Xiao Tuo secretly, but later, people in the Hou Mansion said that Xiao Tuo didn't want to meet me, so I knew he didn't want to marry me. like me."

"He has never seen you, how can he say he doesn't like you?"

"I have a bad reputation, and I don't understand anything women should know. I heard Aunt Ayu tell my grandmother that Xiao Tuo likes girls with embroidery needles, but not girls with swords."

Zian frowned, "I've been with Xiao Tuo before, and I don't think he is a girl who likes to hold embroidery needles."

"Then it should be that he disliked me and just found an excuse to reject me." She said as she walked, and then looked around, "By the way, why is your prime minister's mansion so big? It's been a long time since I've been gone, and I haven't arrived yet." Garden?"

"It's quite big." Zian knew about the embezzlement of the land. The so-called settlement with money was just that the old lady invited those owners to come over and bully them with their status. Just give some money and it's fine. Due to the status of the prime minister, the common people Dare to be angry but dare not speak.

If you really want to pursue it, the Xiangfu has no reason at all.

About half an hour ago, Nanny Yang took Yuan Shi out for a walk in the back garden.

After walking for a while, Yuan Shi said that she was tired, so Madam Yang helped her into the elegant room in the back garden to rest.

The elegant room is right in front of the bamboo grove. Few people come here, especially there are green bamboo snakes on the other side of the bamboo grove. They have been sprinkled with sulfur powder several times, but they can't be driven away, and the servants don't come here either.

After helping Mrs. Yuan to rest, Nanny Yang sat in the gazebo outside the elegant room, took out the oil paper bag from her arms, which contained pastries, and hadn't eaten breakfast today, so she ate some in the gazebo.

As soon as he ate a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, he saw Aunt Cuiyu who was beside the old lady approaching, "Isn't this Mother Yang?"

Nanny Yang raised her eyebrows, glanced at Aunt Cuiyu lightly, and remained silent.

Aunt Cuiyu walked up with a basket in her hand, "What is Mammy doing here? Where's Madam?"
