There was a biting cold in the yard where people were coming and going.

Several women looked at the always strong Xia He shedding tears with different expressions.

Achi held the newly made buckles and looked over one by one. He saw Cui Jinniang frowning and not knowing what she was thinking. An Niannian had a sullen expression on her face. Liu Tianxing pulled out her head from behind An Niannian and followed her.

tears.

While crying, Liu Tianxing asked:

"Xia He, don't just cry. When you mentioned Sister Qingying, did something happen to her?"

Xia He pursed his lips, but after all he didn't know what to say.

It seemed that as soon as she said some words, everything she had over the years fell away.

Then who is she? What are her children?

The courtyard door was opened, and a little maid hurried in: "Sister Achi, the young lady is back. Sister Tunan sent me to ask if you have any medicine for bruises."

"The girl is injured?"

Achi, who was wearing a blue armor, stood up suddenly, held up her skirt and walked out quickly.

There were only a few concubines left in the yard, and no one spoke for a while.

After a while, Cui Jinniang held the corner of her handkerchief and said slowly, "The Second Young Madam is injured. We concubines should go and visit her, right?"

After finding a reason for herself, she walked out of the courtyard door.

With her taking the lead, the others followed.

But I never thought that when I arrived in the main courtyard, I saw Shen Shiqing sitting on a soft cushion with her feet up and eating a persimmon.

Zhao Surui, who was in Shen Shiqing's body, was not in a very good mood at the moment. As the king of a country, how could he have any compassion for a maid who had been degraded by the master's family? But Tunan recognized the woman named Qingying.

I begged myself to save people for her sake.

He knew that he had very few people he could use, and Tunan was considered the most useful among Shen Sanfei's three maids. Naturally, he was not stingy with this favor.

But seeing Peifeng sending people to find the doctor, Achi looking for medicine, and Tunan also guarding the side courtyard, he felt uncomfortable all over again, and secretly wondered if he was usually too kind to these maids.

, so that they actually put themselves aside.

If his chickens, dogs, cats, and mice in the palace dare to forget him for an unrelated person, he will definitely kick their butts.

Narrowing his eyes and looking at these concubines who looked like they had no good intentions, Zhao Surui wiped the persimmon water on his hands with a handkerchief:

"You guys came here in a hurry. Did you hear that someone was injured and wanted to attend my funeral?"

Cui Jinniang took a step forward and saw that the other three and the maid behind her had their mouths shut like quails. She also lowered her head and refused to be the one to take the lead.

Zhao Surui had no intention of letting them go: "What? You can't say anything anymore? There's no need to say anything. Have you seen the stone in the corner? Since you all have nothing to do, go and knock it into pieces the size of ten kilograms.

Chunk."

The stone in the corner of the yard was dropped when the yard was being built in the early years. It is about two feet long and one foot wide, as high as a person's calf, and weighs at least three to four hundred kilograms.

Without special equipment, there was no way the girls could move the stone.

Liu Tianxing's eyes were still red, she bit her lower lip and said aggrievedly: "Young madam, we have been making clothes all morning today, so we have nothing to do."

She took two steps forward and showed the young lady the cotton wadding between her fingernails: "I tore up cotton all morning. At first I thought it was quite interesting, but later my wrists hurt."

Zhao Surui waved his hand to stop her: "Don't come in front of me. Why don't you have any rules?"

Liu Tianxing stared at the young lady in front of her with round eyes, and her voice was sweet and soft: "Young lady, you are more majestic and more fierce than before."

In the past? Zhao Surui sneered: "Then what was I like in the past?"

"Young Madam, you were so good before!" Liu Tianxing scratched her face in embarrassment, "I was still young when Young Madam first got married. I brought things to Young Madam's courtyard, and you gave me candies.

, hawthorn cake, amber walnut...and persimmon cake, all made by the young lady yourself. I have never eaten a more delicious snack. Later, I was given to the second young master by the madam because I was timid and stupid.

, the kitchen bullied me and refused to let me eat enough, so the young lady asked Tunan to vent my anger for me, and even fed me the horse hooves baked in ashes in the charcoal basin. "

Speaking of the delicious food she had eaten with the young lady in the past, Liu Tianxing was fascinated, and took a few steps forward, almost drooling like a baby:

"Young Madam, when will you make persimmon cakes again? The bean paste persimmon cakes you made are fragrant and soft. I think about it now..."

Zhao Surui watched helplessly as the silly girl swallowed her saliva, and suddenly felt that the persimmon in her mouth was no longer sweet.

Persimmon cakes stuffed with red bean paste?

What does that smell like?

Is it really that delicious?

"Is it that delicious?" When he came to his senses, he had already asked.

Liu Tianxing nodded her head like a bow playing cotton.

Zhao Surui put down the half-eaten persimmon in his hand.

Achi hurried back with the box filled with medicine, and saw his girl waving to him: "Achi, go tell Tunan that I want to eat persimmon cakes with bean paste filling today."

"Yes, girl."

After entering the house and putting the medicine box away, Achi came out and said: "Girl, Qingying has taken the medicine and looks better than before. It's just that the doctor Peifeng went to see her and said that the most important thing about her is that she is fine after giving birth."

Take good care of it. It's still bleeding. Let's go to the town or Yanjing City to find a stable woman. Peifeng has asked the tenants, and they all said that there is a stable woman in the town. Peifeng has already gone to look for her on horseback. "

Zhao Surui snorted, assuming he knew.

Anyway, he allowed Tunan to save people, so he didn't care if it cost more.

Hearing the word "Qingying", Xia He raised his head in disbelief and stared at Ah Chi.

Achi noticed her gaze, glanced at her, and had an idea in his mind: "Girl, we don't have enough manpower. Aunt Xia was very good with Qingying in the past, so why not leave Qingying to her care."

This was a good idea. Zhao Surui, who was thinking about the persimmon cakes, waved his hand and agreed.

Liu Tianxing wanted to follow Xia He to see Qingying, but he stopped her.

"Tell me again, what else was delicious in the past?"

He wrote it all down and asked Tunan to make it for him!

His majestic Emperor Zhao De, does he want anything delicious?

snort!

On the path between the two courtyards, Ah Chi walked hurriedly, but spoke softly:

"Aunt Xia, Qingying was rescued by my girl when she and Tunan were out riding. Tunan said that she saw Qingying beside a broken thatched shed... She was also lucky enough to meet my girl, otherwise

He will be beaten to death by some thugs."

When Xia He heard the word "death", his feet stopped.

Achi glanced at her but said nothing.

The girl didn't care about Xie Fengan's back house, but she couldn't help but care about the girl. Qingying was clever and gentle, and was valued by Madam Uncle, but she suddenly ended up being sent to Zhuangzi. Xia He benefited from it, so naturally she was the most likely to do anything.

As a person, when I thought back to the time when Xia He cried when he mentioned Qingying when making clothes, Achi became more and more sure.

Her girl asked her to be the big housekeeper in the village, so she would naturally share her worries at every turn.

By suppressing it, she was living up to the girl's expectations.

When the two entered the side hospital, they smelled the aroma of medicine. Achi said: "This is the prescription prescribed by the local doctor before to relieve Qingying's pain. The doctor said that Qingying can neither activate blood nor stop bleeding."

, I can only hold her breath and let her endure it."

While they were talking, someone in the room opened the curtain and came out with a basin of dirty water in his hand.

It's Tunan with a sword hanging on his waist.

After glancing at Xia He, Tunan said to Achi: "I just cleaned her body, and now I have to cook for the girl. Please take care of yourself, Qingying... She is really in bad shape right now, don't be frightened."

Xia He's body trembled involuntarily.

Every word spoken by Achi and Tunan was like a shining silver embroidery needle, pricking her heart with holes.

"Aunt Xia, Qingying will be left to you."

Achi opened the curtain and let Xia He into the room, leaving her alone to face her long-lost conscience.

He turned around and walked to the corner of the courtyard and said to the little maid who was lighting the fire: "Be more alert. Listen carefully to what Aunt Xia and Qingying said and then tell me."

After leaving the side courtyard, she met Tunan waiting there.

"Aren't you going to cook for the girl?"

"I have something to say to you."

Tunan is holding her sword and leaning against the wall. She looks a bit like a hero in a storybook. However, she has a pretty face. At first glance, she seems more like Xiaojiabiyu pretending to be a hero. Only when she actually takes action can she

It makes people realize that she really has some skills in her body.

Looking at Achi, her expression was a little deep:

"Do you think the girl is different from before?"

Achi thought Tunan was going to tell her something important. After hearing this, she waved her hand: "The girl was injured and can't remember what happened before. Didn't you already know that?"
