Mrs. Yang sighed: "It's good to be young! I think I was so carefree back then."
"Who's not like that." After Mrs. Qiu said that, she thought of the years when both her parents died and her marriage was bumpy, which was the low point in her life. There is a serious gap with the happy life before, but fortunately to meet Qiu Baize, it can be regarded as a good person.
Pei Xiu didn't want to recall the past, it was her own nightmare, and she wanted to let go of the past and start everything from scratch. She is extremely satisfied with her current life.
Mrs. Yang didn't know what she said, which reminded them of unpleasant past events at the same time. But she was the best at observing words and expressions, and she could see that they were not very happy, so she had to expose it and change the subject.
"This mansion is really big. Look at this garden. The area is three times that of my house. There is a pond, a waterside pavilion, a rockery, a pavilion, and there is actually a small bamboo forest in the corner."
Mrs. Qiu stood on tiptoe and looked, "Yes, I didn't notice it when I came in before. Let's go for a walk. The gardens of this Hou's Mansion are very cleverly designed."
Pei Xiu can do it. Anyway, if you are idle, you will be idle. In the Hou Mansion, you are not afraid of getting lost and in danger.
When they walked in, they found that the bamboo forest was much bigger than what they saw from a distance, and there was a set of stone tables and benches in the corner, just enough for them to sit and rest, but they didn't know if it was a problem with the species or the soil. The bamboo was not tall.
Anyway, it wasn't hot in the small bamboo forest, it was cool and shady, and the wind gently caressed it and brought the fragrance of bamboo, so they were not in a hurry to leave.
"I didn't expect that we could find such a good place to enjoy the shade. I wanted to see the lotus, so I had to wait until I went out." Mrs. Qiu walked around the bamboo forest and found that this place is really quiet and peaceful. .
"This place is so comfortable, the design is so good, I don't even want to leave." Pei Xiu closed his eyes and said jokingly, "It's just that there is still a shortage of tea and snacks on the table, haha."
"You're here for an outing, not a banquet. Why don't you say you're missing a piano and a pair of chess?" Mrs. Yang rolled her eyes indecent.
"Forget it. I'm a layman who doesn't know how to draw and calligraphy. If you know how, you can play it for us."
"I'm also a layman." Mrs. Yang glared at Pei Xiu.
After speaking, she also smiled.
With sharp eyes, Mrs. Yang saw that the two servants over there were supporting the person, and the clothes seemed to be worn by the prince at the birthday banquet.
"Look, is that His Royal Highness the Prince?"
"Where?" Madam Qiu stood up curiously and went out to take a look, "It seems like, is the prince drunk?"
"It should be." Pei Xiu just turned his back to him, so he got up and turned around to take a look, just to see the prince being supported by his servants into the yard diagonally opposite.
"The arrival of the prince has added a lot of brilliance to the Hou residence. It's normal to be toasted. I didn't expect the prince to drink so little."
"It shouldn't be because the Crown Prince's traffic is shallow, but because there are too many people." The neighborhood is relatively remote and there is no one, so Mrs. Qiu simply told the truth.
"that's right."
They laughed and saw that the two servants left after sending off the prince, so they didn't think it was a big deal.
Pei Xiu frowned and felt something was wrong. Shouldn't she leave someone to guard the gate or take care of her?
"Why do you keep staring and frowning, it's okay for the prince to get drunk at the birthday banquet?" Mrs. Yang saw Pei Xiu frowning at the courtyard diagonally opposite, and she was a little curious about her expression.
"Don't you think it's wrong, the prince is drunk, why didn't the grandson accompany his servants to send the prince to rest?"
"Is this normal? Maybe Taisun was also persuaded to drink, so he couldn't get away." Mrs. Qiu also felt that she was thinking too much.
"Then the servant will send the Prince to the courtyard to rest, why should he leave someone to take care of him? What if His Highness wakes up and asks for water to sober up soup, or is there any discomfort? Or someone who doesn't know breaks in. How?"
When she said that, they also felt that something was wrong.
Yes, what is the status of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how could the Marquis of Xinwu be neglected and not send someone to serve him.
They were discussing the abnormality of the Hou Mansion. Madam Yang happened to be facing the courtyard over there, and whispered, "Someone who doesn't know is here..."
They looked over together in amazement. A woman with a beautiful face, looking at the weak and beautiful, glanced left and right, and entered the opposite yard.
"Is it because the bamboo forest was blocking it, she didn't pay attention, so she didn't see us?" Mrs. Qiu said dryly.
Madam Yang hated the iron and said, "Why are you different from others? You shouldn't be thinking now, how did this woman enter the prince's courtyard, and what is she going to do?"
"Let's go in and have a look. If you are alone, you will have to rely on it." Pei Xiu pulled the two of them and planned to go forward.
Mrs. Yang stopped her, "What are you doing? It's none of our business. If you go up and stop other people's good deeds, if you want to be hated, we can't afford to offend the Hou Mansion."
"How do you know it's the Hou Mansion, not someone else's hands and feet?"
"You are stupid, this is the place of Hou's mansion. How can the Hou's mansion let the peaches be picked by others? Someone else can call the servants of the Hou's mansion? The two just now were wearing the clothes of the Hou's mansion's servants. Fits well."
Pei Xiu looked at the two people who were still asking and answering, UU reading anxiously, "The prince came to the maid's family at his grandmother's birthday banquet, do you think this reputation will spread well? After giving birth, what will happen when I hear the news? You can follow me, it will be too late. "
Mrs. Qiu took her and left, "I'll go with you. I'm not bad. Let's go cover up and knock the woman unconscious."
Madam Yang saw that the two of them were going to go to the courtyard without listening to the persuasion. She frowned, struggled for a while, and stomped her feet before trotting over.
"Cover your face with a handkerchief to be safe." Mrs. Qiu reminded in a low voice, and then led them into the courtyard lightly, "Wait a while, you wait at the door of the room, I'll go ahead and knock out the room. girl."
They nodded and had no choice but to do so. They didn't know how to kung fu, so they could only rely on Mrs. Qiu, who was a woman and a man.
Mrs. Qiu looked at the unlocked door, and she understood it. She gently pushed the door open without making a sound.
There is no possibility that the door of Hou's mansion has been in disrepair for a long time.
She saw that the woman in the house had taken off her coat, only her apron, and her trousers were only wrapped, which was shameless.
The woman was still busy untying the prince's clothes, but unfortunately the drunk man didn't cooperate, so it was very difficult for her to untie it.
Mrs. Qiu approached gently, and the woman also saw a shadow on the ground, and she fought with her hands in fright. When she turned around, Mrs. Qiu chopped down with a knife.
I was also relieved and solved one problem smoothly.
