Hua Shu looked back at Jin Shu, and replied with a smile, "Is this one? I don't know it either. It just so happens that I went to pick autumn dew this morning, and within a few steps, I saw this bag lying on the ground. I opened it and saw it. It's full of flowers."

"You feed your baby parrot as soon as you pick up something, and you're not afraid of poisoning your baby parrot?"

After finishing speaking, Jin Shu spread out her hands and asked Hua Shu for some petals, and began to play with them.

"Everything has a spirit, this guy is smart. In the past, if you gave him flowers and grains, he wouldn't even take a bite of anything bad. It's rare that he likes this flower so much. I didn't feed him too much, it seems like he's here huh, so tear off a few petals and let her play with it."

It was like listening to Huashu mentioning herself.He looked up at her and smiled.

Hua Shu continued: "Besides, who has nothing to buy a bag of poisonous flowers and put it on their body? Although I don't know this thing, but judging from the packaging, it is probably used for soaking in water like chrysanthemums."

"Does Wanru know what kind of flower this is?" Jinshu turned to ask Wanru again.

Wan Ru picked up the petals in his hand and looked at them carefully, and said, "I don't know. Qin Sha takes care of medicines and tea ingredients for me on weekdays. I rarely touch them."

Seeing that the two girls didn't know this thing, Jin Shu felt a little relieved.

If someone just buys it for promoting blood circulation and unblocking tendons, not to mention the use of dispelling blood stasis and relieving pain!If someone has evil intentions, if the two of them mention it to outsiders, they will definitely startle the snake.The subsequent conspiracy is even more difficult to guard against.

It's just that the price of safflower is so expensive, how many servants buy this thing for medicinal purposes?Obviously the latter is much more likely.

Really work!Can't you be more peaceful?

Jin Shu thought about how hard it was to live a stable life for a few days, and someone jumped out to be a demon again.

She carefully recalled Linfu's flustered expression in the early morning. From this point of view, the red flower should be something he lost.It's just that he has no grievances with Cuiwei, so it's impossible for him to do these dirty tricks.

It must have been instigated by someone.

Jinshu knew that Linfu would usually send some news to Aunt Jin, and the two seemed to be getting close.But remembering the time when she gave her medicine a few days ago, she told herself: Zhao Chi had promised not to take Cuiwei as his concubine, and would send Cuiwei out of the house after giving birth.

After saying this, Aunt Jin also reminded her, "Try not to be alone with Cuiwei until she has given birth, lest you will be confused by other people's devious words, and then you will not be able to explain clearly."

Based on Jinshu's understanding of Aunt Jin, since she said this, she would definitely not go out of her way to get rid of Cuiwei's child.

So the only possibility is Yu Shi.

The next question came up again, how is Mrs. Yu going to frame Aunt Jin?According to Zhao Chi's love for Aunt Jin, if there is no conclusive evidence and witnesses, Aunt Jin will definitely be able to escape unscathed.

It is impossible for Mrs Yu to put the red flower in Aunt Jin's house.

Aunt Jin has always been cautious. Ever since she found out that Cuiwei was pregnant, she ordered her yard to be guarded all the time, and Pingrui would check everything that came in and out. It was more difficult for this thing to enter Aunt Jin's house than going to heaven. .

Looking at Jinshu's thoughtful look beside her, he seemed unwilling to disturb her, and even took the initiative to tease her parrot with Huashu, for fear that she would disturb Jinshu's tranquility.

After much deliberation, Jin Shu has not found the crux of the problem.When she came back to her senses, Pingyue had already brought the lunch into the room.

There were no adults present, and the children had a mess during the meal. Hua Shu even imitated the adults, toasting with soup instead of wine like several big bowls.

Hua Shu's enthusiasm was irresistible, but Wan Ru's little stomach couldn't hold any soup, so she could only cast a life-saving look at Jin Shu.

Seeing that she was about to be vomited by lotus root soup, Jin Shu laughed heartily.The boredom in my heart just now dissipated completely.

The three of them kept playing around in Jinshu's room until Pingyue came to report that Pingyuan Hou's carriage had arrived at the door, and a group of people were waiting outside for Wanru.

It's rare to be so carefree, as if there is some reluctance on his face, but it's not easy to make people wait outside for a long time.I had no choice but to bid farewell to the two, and Jinshu accompanied them to see each other off.

"Jinshu, I really envy you."

With a faint smile on Jin Shu's face, she replied, "But do you think my house is lively?"

Just like nodding: "In the eyes of others, the Pingyuan Hou's family has great achievements, but only those who live in it know how deserted it is, and it takes more than ten days every year to get together. Look at your house, the head of the house is dignified and generous, and the aunt is very kind." Bingmao, although I haven't seen your other sisters and brothers, but I see you and Huashu sisters are deeply in love. The family is harmonious and happy, how can people not be envious?"

"It's like, the days are still long, how can there be such a good thing in the world."

Listening to Jin Shu's words that didn't match up, she seemed to be trying to find out what she meant, but before she knew it, she had arrived at the gate of the Zhao Mansion, and the four maids who were waiting outside eagerly greeted her, and brought up the stool, Holding on is like getting into a car.

Just about to open the curtain and go in, Wan Ru turned to her and said, "Jin Shu. See you in Kang Manor tomorrow."

Jin Shu remembered the matter of the red flower, and decided that it would be better to stay with Aunt Jin before she figured it out, so she shirked: "I won't go for a while, Mother is feeling a little uncomfortable. I want to be with her I will serve you personally."

"You must come to the chrysanthemum feast." Thinking of not seeing Jin Shu for so long, Wan Ru's voice was a little anxious.

Seeing Wan Ru looking back three times at a step, Jin Shu bared her teeth and yelled at her: "Wan Ru girl, you know, you look like you are looking forward to your husband."

Listening to Jinshu making fun of herself.Wan Ru scolded: "Fuck you. I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, as if turning around and getting into the carriage, the group of people left here in a big way.

Back in the yard, Jin Shu just wanted to go back to the house, but was stopped by Aunt Jin who was lying on the window.

"Today is like coming to the mansion, but I have sent you an invitation to the chrysanthemum banquet in Pingyuanhou's mansion?" Seeing Jin Shu coming in, Aunt Jin handed her the freshly brewed Xue Ying.

Jin Shu was very thirsty, took the tea bowl, blew on it a few times, and drank it in big gulps.

Seeing Jinshu's carefree appearance, Aunt Jin smiled brightly: "Look at how well you drink the tea! You ruined a good cup of Xueying like this. If you accept the invitation, you'd better pretend to be sick and resign. So as not to be embarrassing from time to time."

Knowing that Aunt Jin loved and hurt her, Jin Shu was not angry and said, "Mother, it's late. I have already agreed."

"Just rely on your stuff?"

Aunt Jin took out some crumpled rice papers, which were Jinshu's "masterpieces of brushwork".

Jin Shu's originally calm face collapsed in an instant: "How did these things end up at Mother's place? Pingyue must have presented them to you."

"Seeing that you locked the room inside and practiced calligraphy day and night, of course I want to see your results. Just now when Pingyue cleaned up the house for you, I asked her to submit her case to see if there was anything there. Your homework, and then ??tsk tsk??"

The words behind Aunt Jin.it goes without saying.

Jinshu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't say to show my skills in front of people, I just went to join in the fun. If I can't write well, I can't read other people's?"

Aunt Jin smiled and spat: "Girl with no eyesight, come with me."

After finishing speaking, Aunt Jin took Jinshu to the cabinet, rummaged through a pile of scrolls for a while, and finally took out a sandalwood scroll and handed it to Jinshu.

"You take this painting to the banquet, and then you will say that you painted it yourself. Only the eldest lady in this house can recognize my brushwork, but you don't have to worry too much. Although she doesn't get along with me, she doesn't get along with you." There is not much enmity, and you now have the support of the Pingyuan Hou family and the Kang family."

Aunt Jin knew in her heart how ruthless Mrs. Yu was, so she definitely wouldn't let Jinshu by her side so easily.She was afraid that Jinshu would be jealous of Mrs. Yu not daring to take the painting, so she could only say the comforting words just now.

It's just that the opportunity of the chrysanthemum banquet in the Marquis of Pingyuan's mansion is too rare. If you don't take the risk, Jinshu will definitely not be able to marry a good family with her body and background.

Aunt Jin bent down.Looking into Jin Shu's eyes, he said, "Jin Shu, just keep this painting hidden and don't let Mrs. Yu see it. When you arrive at Pingyuan Hou's Mansion, just give this painting to the servant who received the goods. Once the picture scroll is displayed in front of others, for the sake of the Zhao family's reputation and her own daughter's reputation, she will definitely not expose you in person."

Jin Shu had her own considerations, so she didn't reply.

I saw her carefully unfolding the painting scroll. Two girls are playing on the cool chair under the vigorous pagoda tree in the center of the painting. In the blank space, there is an excellent hairpin flower written in lower script with the five characters "Picture of Refreshing Summer in Huaiyuan", accompanied by poems. :

The pagoda tree in front of the court is green and shaded, listening to the cicadas chanting all day long.

The pillow mat is empty and cool to clear the dream, and the mundane things move the mind of Zen.

The composition, brush, ink, and color application of the whole painting are excellent. Although it is far from a "masterpiece", it is superior in that the brush is neat and meticulous, the color is applied layer by layer, the details are clear and subtle, and it is depicted with extremely delicate brushstrokes. Come out of the artistic conception of "Huayuan to cool off the summer heat".

"Mother, it's amazing, the wonderful pen makes flowers. When I see this painting, I can't help but think of the quiet summer afternoon. It's so pleasant. Not only is the painting good, but your poems are even better, and the sentence 'no vulgar objects move the mind of Zen' is the finishing touch The brush has rendered the artistic conception of the whole painting."

Since ancient times, people have been praised for their knowledge.In her previous life, Jin Shu searched for business opportunities and often came into contact with high-ranking and powerful people, so her bragging skills were unmatched.

Her compliments are not only superficially good, but always go deep into the details, so she can always please people.

But this time, because of Jin Shu's "uneducated", she knelt gorgeously.

Hearing Jin Shu's compliment, Aunt Jin still had a smile on her face, but when she got to the back, she looked Jin Shu up and down with a look of disgust.

"I saw that in addition to practicing calligraphy, you also read poetry and books more. I don't even know Li Hong's "He Ren."

have to!This poem was not mentioned by Aunt Jin herself, but directly quoted from the works of predecessors.

With embarrassment written all over Jinshu's face, she quickly changed the subject and said, "My dear mother. This is your picture of me and Huashu?"

Aunt Jin put away the picture scroll and nodded, and asked again: "Stop talking about it. What did I tell you just now? Are you listening?"

Jin Shu clapped her hands and smiled, and replied: "Mother kindly accepts it. It's just that there's no need to take risks for this matter."

"Jinshu, do you know how many girls in Bianjing who have not left the court are eagerly looking forward to the chrysanthemum banquet? The annual chrysanthemum banquet in the Marquis of Pingyuan, the family members of officials below the fourth rank rarely get invitations, one can imagine this How high is the threshold for a banquet. It's not so much the girls fighting for their talents, it's better to say it's the lady of the Gaomen mansion picking a daughter-in-law for herself."

Aunt Jin thought about throwing out all these words, which would always attract Jin Shu's attention.Unexpectedly, looking at this girl in a blink of an eye, there is still no interest in her eyes.

"Don't think that if you are young, it's too early for your marriage to fall to your head. I just tell you, take precautions for everything, and don't panic at that time."

Jin Shuzai listened carefully, and did not argue or strike up a conversation.Unexpectedly, what Aunt Jin said later really warmed her heart.

"Jin Shu, since you fell into the water, I have gotten along with you carefully, seeing your cuteness, caring and thoughtfulness, and your smartness, I like you more and more. Maybe it was because I burned my head in my previous life. Xiang, I will never have any blood relatives in my life, although I used to be indifferent to this matter, but thinking about it in the dead of night will inevitably make me sad."

Aunt Jin took Jinshu by the arm, sat on the kang together, and then said: "But seeing you being so considerate and considerate to me at such a young age, I regard you as my own daughter from the bottom of my heart. Jinshu..."

Aunt Jin shaved Jinshu's forehead and hair, and looked at her very seriously: "You are a concubine, and you have ruined your body. If it weren't for the great opportunity, it would be too much for you to meet a good person in this life." Difficult. When the time comes when the pearl is cast in the dark, I will inevitably sigh for you."
