At night, Xiao Concubine was fed several bowls of ginger soup, and fell asleep sweating. Hongxiu didn't dare to close her eyes until dawn when she touched Xiao Concubine's forehead and felt that the temperature was right before she was completely relieved.
"Miss, get up and have some porridge before going to bed."
Hongxiu boiled a large bowl of red dates and corn porridge, which was full of glutinous fragrance. Xiao Concubine opened her eyelids and rubbed her head. She slept soundly.
Just after eating porridge, Lu Liyuan came in person, "Xiao Jiu, you're awake, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Xiao shook her head, "Auntie, although it rained yesterday, nothing serious happened. Look, I'm fine."
Xiao Concubine lifted the quilt and went to the ground, walked around in front of Lu Liyuan several times, smiling brightly.
"It's fine." Lu Liyuan smiled, and Shen Yi and Shen Feng hurried over after a while.
"Xiao Jiu... are you okay?"
"Xiao Jiu."
The two stood in front of each other, and they were relieved to see Concubine Xiao standing there.
"Second brother and third brother, don't worry, Xiao Jiu is not that delicate." Xiao Yu smiled, and then asked with concern, "How are the second and third brothers? They were not less rainy yesterday."
Both shook their heads, "It's all right."
"Okay, don't bother Xiao Jiu today, let her have a good rest."
When Lu Liyuan spoke, the two nodded and told Xiao Concubine a few words before they were willing to leave.
After lunch, Miss Xiao saw that it was sunny outside, she put on a big cloak and brought a rocking chair, and sat on it, squinting her eyes and basking in the sun comfortably.
There was a sound of footsteps beside her ears, messy and noisy, Xiao Yu raised her eyes, "What is this for?"
"Miss, the yard next door is moving." Hongxiu covered her mouth and looked around in private, then couldn't help but leaned in front of Concubine Xiao curiously, "Miss, I have inquired about it, and the residence of this wind chime yard belongs to Mr. Shen." A confidante, it's a pity that Mrs. Shen doesn't like Miss Tang."
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Tang Zhaoqing?"
"Yes, it's her."
"It turns out that the woman in the bamboo forest was her."
Concubine Xiao only had a vague impression that in her previous life, Tang Zhaoqing did not marry Shen Mo, but inherited the mantle of the Tang family. She used very severe methods to suppress many people who disobeyed her, and firmly secured her position as the mistress of the Tang family.
It can be seen that the means are not bad.
In the ear, Hongxiu continued to gossip, Xiao Yu smiled and said, "Remember, if you meet this Tang girl in the future, you can hide, don't go head-to-head, don't get involved in it."
"The servant understands."
When it was time for dinner, the maid beside Lu Liyuan invited Concubine Xiao to have dinner.
"OK, I'm going now."
Xiao Concubine changed into a turquoise long dress, and she looked a bit light-hearted. As soon as she stepped out of the room with her red sleeves, she saw a figure approaching from the opposite side.
Dressed in fluttering white clothes, with a graceful and slender figure, but with a pale face, she is a handsome beauty, charming and charming, even better than Xiao Ying.
Tang Zhaoqing saw Xiao Concubine's appearance clearly, was a little surprised, and quickly covered up the strangeness, bent and knelt towards Xiao Concubine, "Zhaoqing thank you for saving my life."
The corner of Xiao Yu's mouth curved into a slight smile, "Miss Tang, you are too polite. I was not the one who saved you yesterday. The four words of saving your life are too precious, and I can't bear them."
"May I ask what the girl's name is?" Tang Zhaoqing said softly.
"Xiao Jiu."
Tang Zhaoqing smiled, those apricot eyes were slightly curved, and the other kind of gentleness and fragility made people feel pity.
It's a pity that Miss Xiao is a woman.
"Sister Xiao is humble. If it wasn't for you, Big Brother Mo wouldn't be able to find me so quickly. Anyway, I still have to thank you. I live in the Fengling Courtyard next door." Tang Zhaoqing smiled at Concubine Xiao, and said Tang Zhaoqing covered his mouth gently Coughing, his face became paler and weaker.
"My lady learned that the girl lives next door, so she specially supported her and came over to thank her." Yu'er supported Tang Zhaoqing with one hand, and did not forget to explain to Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Yu smiled and said nothing, she is really a clever maid.
After Tang Zhaoqing coughed, he smiled apologetically at Concubine Xiao, "When I saw Sister Xiao today, I suddenly remembered an old friend. If Sister Xiao doesn't dislike her, she can often go to the Wind Chime Garden to find me in the future, or it's the same if I come to find my sister. of."
There was a hint of longing in Tang Zhaoqing's tone, which made it hard to refuse.
Concubine Xiao said, "I'm a rather eccentric person. I have to learn herbal medicine every day. I'm afraid I won't be free for a while. If there is an opportunity, I will naturally not dislike it."
Tang Zhaoqing pretended not to understand, "So that's the case, Zhaoqing took the liberty."
Tang Zhaoqing's slender body seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind, and his plain face looked paler without makeup.
Xiao Concubine even felt that as long as she exerted force, she could be cut off.
"Sister Xiao, sister Qing."
Not far away, the figure of Ning Elegy appeared. She was dressed in a crimson dress, which made her look a bit delicate, but standing between the two of them immediately paled in comparison.
Concubine Xiao had no choice but to come one after another.
"Sister Elegy." Tang Zhaoqing greeted her with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you, old lady?"
"It's all good, it's just that sister Qing seems to have lost a lot of weight." Ning Elegy looked Tang Zhaoqing up and down, pretending to feel distressed.
Tang Zhaoqing smiled without saying a word, but her eyes were a little lonely and sad, which made her feel a little melancholy and helpless.
Ning Elegy shifted his gaze to Concubine Xiao again, "Yesterday I heard that Sister Xiao caught a cold in the rain, so I came here to take a look, but now it seems that there is no serious problem, thanks to my worrying in vain."
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, Ning Elegy smelled of gunpowder when she opened her mouth.
"Yesterday, sister Xiao ran into the bamboo forest by mistake, and asked her second cousin to go into the forest to rescue you. It's been a long time since sister Xiao has seen the villa so lively."
When Ning Elegy heard about this yesterday, he smashed up the furnishings in the house angrily, and was not relieved, so he immediately bombarded Xiao Concubine when he saw Xiao Concubine.
"Sister Elegy, don't say that." Tang Zhaoqing pulled Ning Elegy and persuaded softly, "Sister Xiao just came to the villa and is not very familiar with the situation. The situation at that time was also unavoidable. It's all in the past. Sister Elegy calm down."
"Hmph! Sister Qing doesn't know. Since she came, the second cousin and the third cousin have been around her all day long, and her aunt has also been coaxed around by her. She has used some dirty tricks at such a young age."
The more Ning Elegy talked, the more angry she became, and she wished to tear Concubine Xiao to pieces. A few days ago, Mrs. Shen talked to Shen Liuyun, but Shen Liuyun just refused to let go. The angry Mrs. Shen ignored Shen Liuyun for several days.
Ning Elegy couldn't swallow this breath. If Shen Liuyun didn't agree to Mrs. Shen, then his affairs would probably go to waste. How could Ning Elegy be reconciled!
"Sister Elegy!" Tang Zhaoqing sighed, "Say what you have to say, don't misunderstand Sister Xiao."
"Sister Qing, even you help her?" Ning Yange looked at Tang Zhaoqing angrily and anxiously, "Hmph, don't be fooled by her, the next one might be to seduce big cousin."
Hearing this, Tang Zhaoqing's face froze slightly.
Concubine Xiao raised her eyebrows, "Miss Ning can do whatever she wants, I still have to take a step ahead."
Concubine Xiao doesn't bother to talk to Ning Elegy at all, the more you talk to Ning Elegy, the more Ning Elegy gets on her face.
Ning Elegy saw that she was innocent and provocative, and she was really angry.
"you!"
"Sister Elegy!" Tang Zhaoqing stopped Ning Elegy and tried to persuade her again.
"Come on, let's go to my aunt too. Hmph, she's not the only one who can go. Sister Qing, you should be wary of her."
Speaking of Ning Elegy, she held Tang Zhaoqing tightly with one hand to the east courtyard.
"Sister Elegy, this is not very good." Tang Zhaoqing said anxiously.
"Just now I saw that my eldest cousin also went to my aunt's place, don't you want to see my eldest cousin?" Ning Elegy dragged Tang Zhaoqing all the way, as if he had found an ally.
Tang Zhaoqing was also not sure whether the person Lu Liyuan had prepared for Shen Mo was Concubine Xiao, so he half-pushed and followed him out of curiosity.
"Miss, they're coming too." Hong Xiu glanced back at the two of them, pursing her lips in disdain, her skin is really thick.
Concubine Xiao smiled, "Whatever she does, we just need to take care of ourselves."
"Miss is right." Hongxiu wanted to stay away from Tang Zhaoqing from the bottom of her heart, and it seemed that she was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The three of them came to the east courtyard one after the other, Lu Liyuan was stunned for a moment, his face darkened and he squinted at Shen Mo, and then he squeezed out a smile and waved to Concubine Xiao.
"Xiao Jiu, come to Auntie."
Concubine Xiao nodded, and sat obediently beside Shen Liyuan, "Auntie, Xiao Jiu is almost in good health, and Xiao Jiu wants to go to Yaowanggu to identify medicines tomorrow."
"That's good, the master still asked about you today." Shen Feng automatically ignored the other two, and took the initiative to go to Xiao Concubine's side, "Xiao Jiu, the master said that you will be tested in the next few days."
"This is a good thing." Lu Liyuan smiled and agreed, "If you don't understand anything, just ask your second and third brothers."
Shen Feng immediately nodded, and Shen Yi also nodded, "Yes, you don't have to be polite with Second Brother, I still have a few books with me later, I'll send them to you later."
