    After the beginning of autumn, it rained continuously in Shangjing City, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and it never stopped.

    Mrs. Xiao suffered from leg pain. Mu Jizhong and Mu Jixiao were not at home all day, and the whole family did not get together on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Mrs. Xiao sent a message to each house to set up a meal in their own courtyard to worship and pray for luck on Chinese Valentine's Day.  To each his own.

    In previous years, Huaxi spent time with Liu¡¯s mother and Dingxiang in the valley. When she returned to Mu¡¯s house, she felt a little uncomfortable thinking about spending time with the whole family. I heard that she didn¡¯t have to spend the Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day in one place, so she was happy and relaxed.  Unexpectedly, after lunch, Mu Yunyi sent Suxin to invite her to celebrate the festival in the courtyard of the second room in the evening.  Huaxi didn't want to go, but Suxin said it was the second grandma's wish, and Huaxi couldn't refuse her elders, so she agreed.

    As soon as Suxin left, Huaxi told Dingxiang to prepare some fragrant medicine and fragrant handkerchiefs.

    Ding Xiang prepared six kinds of fragrant medicine and square handkerchiefs, put them in a red double-layered lacquered wooden box and sent them to Huaxi House for her to review.

    "When the girl goes to the second room in the evening, the slave will not go."

    Hua Xi briefly looked at the fragrant medicines. They were all warm and nourishing fragrant medicines that he said were useful in autumn. He nodded and said, "That's it. You are also a lively person on weekdays. Why don't you want to go today?"  ?¡±

    Ding Xiang smiled and closed the lid of the box.

    "Grandmas in each room have very strict rules in their houses, and Hongliu will accompany you everywhere on weekdays. Mother Liu knew that you were going out, and she said she wanted to gather Chuntao, Chunying, and the maids and mothers-in-law who stayed in the yard during the holidays.  The place where the tables and banquets were set up was bustling with activity, and the slave girl stayed behind just to help Mother Liu."

    "Then I'll take Hongliu with me. I've just paid out the monthly payment. Give two guan to Liu's mother and let her take care of it. Eat less wine before the 100th day, so as not to say the wrong thing and get it right."

    Huaxi agreed and waved Dingxiang down to discuss with Liu¡¯s mother.

    Ding Xiang opened the curtain and went out, and saw Chuntao wandering outside the door. She was too lazy to pay attention and turned around to leave.

    Chuntao saw her coming out and greeted her, "Sister Dingxiang, are you going to Longcui Courtyard?"

    Ding Xiang frowned, thinking that Chuntao wanted to go with her, so she said, "The girl said she would take Sister Hongliu with her. In the evening, Mother Liu was hosting and asked the sisters in the yard to celebrate the festival together in the backyard. The girl agreed, and I was about to go and give Mother Liu a reply.  talk."

    "Ah, sister should remind the girl. When you catch up on begging for luck, you should walk more to the big room. You are so close to the sixth girl, why do you still go to the second room?"

    Although Dingxiang is not a family-born child, Huaxi and Liu¡¯s mother have repeatedly warned her after entering the house, and she has suffered losses from Hongliu. She is no longer the Wu Xia Ameng she was before. How could she not hear Chuntao¡¯s other thoughts?

    "The old lady has the final say in the girl's affairs, and it's not our slaves' turn to interfere. If you are too busy, why don't you learn from Chunying to paint more tricks, or learn from your godmother to make two-hand snacks to honor the girl, don't think  You can please the girl with just your words. My girl is simple-minded. If you feel that you are not rushing, why not go and beg the grandmothers to let you go to the Xiao family." Ding Xiang snorted coldly, rolled up her sleeves and went to find Liu's mother.

    Chuntao stood there and stamped her feet angrily, gritted her teeth and cursed: "It's just a bad guy from the country who is still showing off in front of me. Bah! Why are you so proud? You will feel better later!"

    Chuntao moved to the side room and saw Chunying boiling water to make tea. Thinking of Dingxiang's sarcastic words just now, she became angry and said, "Chunying, why didn't you go to the backyard and watch the maids sweeping the house? Why did you come here so lazy? This is waiting for tea."  Not everyone can do the job of cooking." He didn't notice that Chunying had already picked up the pot and was about to pour water, so he grabbed the pot from Chunying's hand.

    "Be careful, it's hot!" Chunying was too lazy to argue with Chuntao. She wanted to put down the pot after pouring the water. Unexpectedly, Chuntao acted like he had taken gunpowder. He first sarcastically mocked her, and then reached out to grab it menacingly. She was really shocked.  Jumping, he raised his wrist and stepped sideways to avoid being burned. Unexpectedly, the edge of the pot lid still brushed against Chuntao's fingers.

    "Oh - you are trying to die, you want to burn me to death!" Chuntao screamed in pain. Chunying put down the kettle, grabbed Chuntao and pulled it to the edge of the water tank, scooped a ladle of water and put Chuntao's red fingers in.

    "I came to the house to look for something. When the water boiled and no one looked after it, I kindly helped you make it. You didn't wait for me to put down the pot and grabbed it. How could you get burned?" Chunying retorted dissatisfiedly.

    Although Chuntao knew that she was careless, she was even more angry and muttered: "You, you all dislike me, and you gang up to bully me."

    "Who provoked you? Come here and let me vent your anger. How can you not get burned while serving tea? Besides, it's such a minor injury. If you want people to say you're unsteady, just make a noise. I'll go find some ointment for you."  Chunying glanced at her in disgust, put the water ladle into her arms, and went to the drawer to dig out the ointment for her.

    Chuntao excused herself, sat down on the teapot, held her burned hand and began to scold Lilac again, saying that sheFor the sake of the girl, I clamored to go to the girl for comment.

    Chunying got an idea from her words, and while applying the ointment on her, she said: "Don't be a young girl who doesn't know things. Sister Dingxiang may not understand what you are thinking, but the girl will definitely understand."

    "What can I have on my mind?" Chuntao shook her hand and hurriedly took it out of Chunying's hand, putting it to her lips and blowing guiltily.

    Chunying closed the lid of the box, put away the ointment, and glanced at Chuntao, "Sister Dingxiang is right, the old lady has the final say in the girl's affairs. Once the old lady has an idea, no one can change it. Your hand  You're burned, I'll bring you tea."

    After saying that, Chunying ignored the pensive Chuntao and went to deliver tea to Huaxi on a lacquered wooden tray.

    Huaxi saw that the person delivering tea was Chunying, and asked where Chuntao had gone.  Chunying replied that she was accidentally burned and that she had already applied medicine and it would be fine.  It happened that Ding Xiang came to report the evening arrangements, and was stunned for a moment when she heard that Chuntao was scalded but did not say a word.  After Chunying went out, she told Huaxi about the dispute she had with Chuntao on the corridor.

    After hearing this, Huaxi didn¡¯t say anything, and told her to remember to call Chuntao when the banquet was held in the evening, not to get angry with Chuntao, and to be more careful at the table.

    In the evening, the rain stopped, but it was already autumn and the wind was slightly cool.

    Huaxi added a moon-white satin quilt with dark bamboo leaves and an azure cloak, and took Hongliu to Longcuiyuan where the second room lived.

    Long Cuiyuan is not like the place where the young master and the girls live. It is a courtyard with a regular layout with two entrances and three entrances.  To the east are the living room and the study of the second master, Mu Jixiao. The second master did not take any concubines, and to the west is only the second mistress, Mrs. Liu.

    Huaxi walked in and took off her cloak. When she stepped into the back room, she saw Mu Yunyi sitting on the kang talking to Mrs. Liu.

    This is the second time Huaxi has met Mrs. Liu. The last time she met, she was greeting the old lady when she saw Mrs. Liu, her eldest grandmother Yin and her third grandmother Chen discussing things in the old lady's house. They greeted her in a hurry without saying anything.  Leave.

    "Here comes the girl from Huaxi. Come quickly and sit on the kang." Mrs. Liu is not the most beautiful person, but her warm smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.

    Huaxi said hello and handed the gift to the serving maid.

    Yunyi put on her shoes and pulled her onto the kang, "Here you go, what else do you bring?"

    Huaxi couldn't resist, so she took off her shoes and followed Yunyi to the kang, and sat down beside him.

    "Huaxi didn't know what Second Grandma liked, so she took a few warm and nourishing herbs, all suitable for autumn, and a few squares of fragrant handkerchiefs. Sister, you also know that I am not good at other things, so I am good at tinkering with these. And  This is a thank you gift for borrowing books from my sister."

    Hua Xi took off a palm-sized purse from her waist and handed it to Yunyi. The front of the lotus-colored satin was decorated with entangled lotus flowers, with moon-white moire and azure edges, and a colorful butterfly buckle in the middle. The back was embroidered with a picture of moonlight over a lotus pond.  The stitches are fine and exquisite.

    ? One solution and one indirection, the lotus fragrance bursts.

    Yunyi opened her purse and saw four or five light pink scented tablets inside, and asked: "I heard that you prepared a birthday gift for Princess Luoxi a few days ago. There was a scented product called 'Lotus Pond', which was about an inch in size."  The lotus flower is made in the same way as the incense tablets in this purse?"

    "Well, there are ground incense flakes added there. This kind of incense flakes are extremely rare and not many are produced. Sister, just put it directly on the incense burner to fumigate it."

    Yun Yi heard that Hua Xi said it was rare, thinking that she had specially left it for herself when preparing a birthday gift. She felt happy and thanked her again.

    Mrs. Liu took the purse, looked at it, and praised Huaxi.

    ??Suddenly I heard a maid coming from outside to report that the third young master was here.

    Huaxi wanted to get down from the kang to greet her, but Yunyi stopped her. Mrs. Liu also said that her family didn¡¯t need to be outsiders. Huaxi was embarrassed, so she came down and put on her shoes and stood by the kang.

    As soon as he stood still, Mu Xiuyuan came in.
