When Eleven Niang came out of her house, it started to rain lightly. The rain fell on the scorched bamboo leaves, giving it a cool smell.

Xu Sizhen asked Mama Du, who came to see if he was resting, "Do you still remember my mother's birthday?"

Mother Du thought for a while and said with a smile: It was May 29th, but she was a little undecided. It should be May 27th. She explained that her mother is old and does not remember very clearly. Why did the fourth young master suddenly ask today?

Come up with this

Nothing. Xu Sizhen lowered his eyelids, and his thick long eyelashes were like a small fan, casting a moon-shaped shadow. He was very cute. I just remembered it suddenly.

Mother Du hugged Xu Sizhen lovingly: Go to bed early and go to school tomorrow morning.

Yes, Xu Sichen responded gently and quietly, and lay down quietly.

Mother Du tucked him in, told the night watcher a few words about tea, and then went to Mrs. Tai's place.

Cha Xiang closed the door and sat down on the imperial concubine who was resting aside.

The room became quiet.

The water dripping from the eaves was dripping regularly, and the sound was clearly audible, making Xu Sizhen unable to sleep. The slightly flattering smiling faces of the mothers in charge appeared in his mind from time to time.

In the past, these things only belonged to his mother, but now they belong to another person.

When he thought of these, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

The smell of tea makes Xu Sizhen unable to sleep. What kind of person is your mother?

The person on the bed kept tossing and turning, unable to close his eyes due to the scent of tea.

My mother, Cha Xiang said with a smile, she also worked as an errand in the mansion in the past and served the wife. However, she only became a third-class maid before getting married. She thought that her mother heard that she was going to be beaten by the fourth young master Ben Wen.

When I was working in the 55ab community house, I was in high spirits and showed a cheerful smile. When I met everyone, I told everyone that I had a lot of potential, a hundred times better than she did at that time. She told us to serve the fourth young master well and be a decent person when we go out in the future.

Xu Sizhen became a little distracted after listening to a few words. His mother was not like this. His mother just sat there with a smile and let the mothers in charge hang their hands, let alone those third-class maids.

.His mother doesn’t know how to talk to people. She listens with a happy expression. As soon as she opens her mouth, everyone quiets down and listens to her words.

Thinking of this, he suddenly had the idea of ​​​​seeing his mother, and this idea became stronger and more persistent as time went by.

Xu Sizhen suddenly stood up, took off his shoes and climbed onto the big bed next to the window.

Cha Xiang didn't have time to put on her clothes, so she grabbed the shirt that was placed on the quilt and followed her.

Xu Sichen raised the curtains and looked outside.

The rain seemed to have stopped, and the big red lanterns shone on the bluestone slabs after the rain, glowing with attractive colorful lights.

The fragrance of tea, I want to see my mother at this moment, this thought is so strong that it makes him restless.

Cha Xiang was shocked: Fourth Young Master, it’s already very late now. Let’s go tomorrow

Before she could say anything, Xu Sizhen had slipped off the kang, ran to the clothes rack nearby, pulled out a royal blue Taoist robe, and put it on.

Cha Xiang hurriedly followed: "Fourth Young Master, if the Madam finds out, she will be angry."

Xu Sizhen suddenly turned around and stared at the tea fragrance intently, his eyes as clear and transparent as glass.

I don't know why, Cha Xiang is very embarrassed.

Xu Sizhen lowered his head: My mother’s birthday is May 27th, but no one remembers it.

Drops of water fell and landed at her feet.

Tea Xiang couldn't help but feel sour and sad.

The sound of chiming bells ringing in my ears.

She couldn't help biting her lip.

It's just now, so the Fourth Madam's courtyard is right behind the Tai Madam's courtyard. Mother Wang and others live in that courtyard, and there are also night watchmen in this courtyard. It shouldn't matter, right?

Fourth Young Master, then we have to tell Biluo and the others.

Xu Sizhen raised his head, his eyes washed by tears were particularly dark. The corners of his mouth slowly turned up into a happy arc.

The rain did stop, but the wind picked up.

Cha Xiang took Xu Sizhen's hand and tiptoed out of the door.

The courtyard was quiet, and the lights in the madam's inner room had been turned off.

The fragrance of tea was slightly startling.

Madam, you rested so early

Fourth Young Master, please be careful where you step. She whispered, and she and Xu Sizhen turned through the side room next to the main house and went to the backyard.

Maybe it was raining in the evening. Although most of the back room where the maid lived was lit, there was no one in the yard.

Cha Xiang stood under the window and called softly to the mother-in-law who was on duty at night: Mom, I am Cha Xiang in the fourth young master’s room. I have left something at the fourth lady’s place and I am anxious to get it.

The mother-in-law opened the door immediately.

The squeaking sound of the door shaft rotating spread far away, making Cha Xiang's heart beat several times: Mom, please keep your voice down. Mom Du knows that I can't eat anymore and walk away.

The woman looked up and saw Xu Sizhen following Cha Xiang, and her voice suddenly dropped an octave.

I know, I know I gently unlocked the key on my waist and opened the back door for them.

Cha Xiang stuffed two pieces of broken silver into the old woman's hands: "Mom, wait for us for a while, we will be back soon."

The mother-in-law didn't dare to ask for money: Miss Cha Xiang, go quickly and come back quickly, I'll just stay here and keep watch. Her face was full of smiles.

This is what our fourth young master wants.

Cha Xiang pushed two more broken pieces of silver over.

The old lady happily accepted it and said diligently: Fourth Young Master, just go with peace of mind, no one will notice. Cha Xiang smiled and thanked her in a low voice, and went out the back door with Xu Sizhen.

There are big trees with lush branches on both sides. When the wind blows, the branches dance wildly, making a rustling sound, which is a bit like the sound of silkworms devouring mulberry leaves, which makes people feel a little scared just thinking about it.

Xu Sizhen leaned towards Cha Xiang.

Cha Xiang hurriedly hugged Xu Sizhen's shoulders: It's okay, it's just that Feng's voice was trembling.

Me, I'm not afraid of Xu Sizhen's lack of three hundred taels of silver here, but his eyes are fixed on the big red lantern swaying in the wind not far away. That's where my mother lives. When I get there, my mother will bless me.

Cha Xiang nodded and couldn't help but walk faster.

Suddenly, a black shadow jumped out from the woods.

Ah, the two hugged each other and let out a shrill scream.

The black figure seemed to be startled by them and turned around suddenly.

She has a pale face, dark eye sockets, and a long red tongue hanging from her mouth.

Xu Sizhen rolled his eyes and fell limply to the ground.

Eleven Niang has already gone to sleep, and Xu Lingyi is still leaning on the bedside reading a book.

There was a noise outside.

What's wrong? She stood up on her elbows.yanqg8.

You rest, Xu Lingyi frowned slightly, put down the book, I'll go take a look

Eleven Niang lay down again.

Xu Lingyi had just put on his shoes when Amber lifted the curtain and entered.

Her expression was ugly, she made a cursory blessing, and said in a low voice: Just now, Miss Gejin from the Madam's side came over and said that the Fourth Young Master was frightened and asked the Marquis to hurry over and take a look.

Xu Lingyi's expression changed when he heard this: How could this happen?

What happened? Eleven Niang felt panicked and sat up.

Xu Lingyi had bent down and pulled off his shoes, pulled the Taoist robe aside and put it on his body.

Mom is here, you can rest first and I will come back after I go take a look. He confessed and strode out of the inner room.

Eleven Niang called out Amber.

Amber hurriedly stepped forward and helped Eleven Niang put on her shoes: Gejin didn't say anything, and I didn't have time to ask in detail. As she spoke, she helped Eleven Niang stand up and helped her put on her trousers.

Only when you go there will you know what happened.

Eleven Niang and Hu Hu went to the Taifu's place.

The lights were brightly lit inside and outside the house. When they entered the house, they saw the night watch woman in the dowager's house, her head lowered and trembling, kneeling in the middle of the yard. Several maids and women who usually served her were standing under the eaves tremblingly.

Hearing the commotion, the clever little maids came over to help Eleven Niang, and some opened the curtains: Madam Hou Ye, the Fourth Madam is here

Before he finished speaking, Jade Ban came out to greet him.

Fourth Madam, why are you here?

At the same time, he invited her in.

Where is Brother Zhen?

Xu Lingyi stood in the center of the hall with a livid face, and Xu Sizhen's personal maid, Fragrant Tea, knelt at Xu Lingyi's feet with tears on her face.

Hearing Eleven Niang's voice, Cha Xiang's body moved, but in the end she still maintained her cowardly posture and did not look back.
