Therefore, in the palace now, the only male master who can come to the back garden is Rong Chenghan. And it happened that just now, Rong Chenghan came out from watching a play in Nuan Pavilion. Although Liu Ruosi didn't notice,

But I heard Mrs. Liu San say that after Rong Chenghan left the Nuan Pavilion, he came in this direction.

The man behind the bushes seemed to have only one possibility.

Rong Chenghan, unexpectedly, was quite sympathetic. When he saw a girl falling into the water here, he gave him his big cloak.

After leaving Tingbu, before taking a few steps away, Miss Wei Liu, who was walking in front of Liu Ruosi, suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong with Miss Six? It's very cold here..." Liu Ruosi stepped forward and couldn't help but say something to Miss Wei Liu.

"My feet hurt a little. Third girl, please go ahead. I'll come right away." Miss Wei Liu held the little girl's shoulders, the blush on her face still lingering, and smiled at Liu Ruosi. As she spoke, she gave way to the way.

Come out. I don't know if it was because I was frightened just now or because I was too excited. Miss Wei Liu's breath was a little unstable when she spoke.

Liu Ruosi knew something was wrong, but she couldn't care less about other people's affairs, so she said a little politely, then passed Miss Wei Liu and continued to walk forward. After not far, Liu Ruosi couldn't help but look back.

, Miss Wei Liu did not follow. Not only did she not follow, but she also did not stand still.

In just a moment, Miss Wei Liu and the little girl who served her disappeared.

Liu Ruosi sighed slightly and had no choice but to pretend she didn't know anything and continue walking forward.

Soon, someone seemed to have reported the news to Mrs. Su. Mrs. Su sent Mrs. Lao away and hurried over with a group of girls and ladies.

"Hey, what's going on?" Mr. Lao saw that although the girls were a little embarrassed, no one was hurt. He breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly came over to ask for help.

Su Qingnuan briefly told Lao what had just happened.

"It's all my fault." Su Qingnuan said to Lao Shi, "I just thought about the sisters playing freely and nothing would happen. Who knows, if I'm not careful..."

Su Qingnuan told what happened, but she accidentally missed that there were people behind the bushes. They were frightened and panicked, so you pushed me and I squeezed you, and they accidentally fell into the water.

.

Su Qingnuan said this, and Miss Wei Jiu also hurriedly came forward and said it was her fault.

Compared with her lively and agile appearance just now, although Miss Wei Jiu was not injured at this moment, her expression was a little weary. She felt aggrieved and mixed with anger.

Everyone said a few words and realized that Mr. Lao was a very capable person. They simply called a few sedans and asked Liu Ruosi and others to get on the sedans. They were carried by the ladies and left the garden towards Chunhui.

Come to the hall. When everyone arrived at Chunhui Hall, Mr. Lao hurriedly ordered more people to bring charcoal basins. He also asked people to bring hot soup and hot tea. He asked some girls to wash up, change their clothes and shoes, and drink hot tea to ward off the cold.

.

While Lao was busy with this, he sent someone to deliver a message to Su in the morning, telling Su that it was nothing serious and that Su and the girls' families should not worry.

After being so busy for a while, Liu Ruosi had already changed her skirt, shoes and socks under the service of the two girls, Twelve Moon and June, and was holding a tea bowl and drinking tea slowly.

Miss Wei Wu came over at this moment.

"Miss Liu San, have you ever seen our sixth sister?" Miss Wei Wu asked Liu Ruosi.

Of course I saw it, Liu Ruosi thought in her heart. But she couldn't say that.

"Miss Wei Liu? Aren't you with the fifth girl?... I was so busy that I really didn't pay attention." Liu Ruosi said. In the garden of the palace, there are girls waiting around, so Miss Wei will definitely not be there.

What danger? Moreover, Miss Wei Liu left everyone clearly because she had other plans in mind.

Miss Wei Wu didn't ask anything from Liu Ruosi, so she turned around and left. It seemed that she was going to ask someone else.

"Third sister..." Liu Ruoshan asked Liu Ruoshan in a low voice.

"Shh..." Liu Ruoshan signaled to Liu Ruoshan not to say anything. She just walked over from Tingbu, and Liu Ruoshan was still with her, falling at the end. Liu Ruoshan also saw Miss Wei Liu. "No.

It’s none of our business.”

Liu Ruosi's intuition about this matter was a little bad. Instead of saying anything at this moment, it would be most appropriate to simply pretend that she didn't know anything.

Liu Ruoshan also understood something in her heart and nodded immediately.

After a while, Miss Su Qingnuan and Miss Wei Jiu came over one after another. They also discovered that Miss Wei Liu was not there and came to ask Liu Ruosi. Liu Ruosi always said that she did not know. She also did not know about Su Qingnuan, Wei Wu and Wei Jiu.

What they were thinking, they didn't say anything about it, let alone send people to find Miss Wei Liu.

Everyone sat in the room for a while and had already recovered.

Su Qingnuan lowered her head and saw Liu Ruosi's shoes.

"Third sister, the uppers of these shoes are made of brocade?" Su Qingnuan asked with a smile.

Rong Chenghan gave some pieces of brocade, and Mrs. Liu Er used them to make some clothes for Liu Ruosi, but Liu Ruosi said they were too eye-catching and refused to wear them. These shoes were leftover from making clothes.

Made of bright brocade, they were not that eye-catching. This time during the twelfth lunar month and the sixth lunar month, Liu Ruosi packed her clothes, so she wrapped these shoes in her clothes bag for later use.

"It should be so." Liu Ruosi said calmly and didn't care, "It's the girls' needlework, and I don't care much about it."

"Third sister is really from a wealthy family." Su Qingnuan's smile was a little strange, but it returned to normal in just a blink of an eye, "This is the finest brocade, brought as tribute from other countries, and every piece has its place. Three

My sister doesn’t care at all, I think she’s tired of looking at all the treasures.”

Although the Liu family is a scholarly family with several generations of accumulation, it cannot be considered wealthy in any way. However, everyone also knows that Liu Ruosi's mother, Mrs. Liu Er, is the only daughter of the late Qi University Scholar.

The dowry is extremely generous.

"It's just an applied thing, there's no difference in my eyes." Liu Ruosi said, "I'm not as knowledgeable as Seventh Sister."

"Where is the profound knowledge?" Su Qingnuan smiled and said, "This year, the foreign countries paid tribute to several horses. The palace rewarded some to the third brother, and the third brother gave them to his aunt. The aunt said that they were too conspicuous and refused to use them.

, so he gave me a piece and made me a coat."

Su Qingnuan wore a long rose-red jacket today, revealing the collar of an old green close-fitting coat. It was indeed made of glossy brocade.

"Fanbang's brocade is indeed a good thing. If the third sister had been wearing these shoes from the beginning, even if she stepped into the water, she would be fine." Su Qingnuan said, looking at Liu Ruosi.

Liu Ruosi only smiled and said nothing more.

Su Qingnuan was a little disappointed. As far as she knew, the palace rewarded less brocade this year than in previous years, and no one in the Liu family received such a reward. But the shoes Liu Ruosi wore were made of

It is absolutely true that it is a glorious brocade that was only sent as tribute from foreign countries this year.

Liu Ruosi's brocade, who gave it to her?

Su Qingnuan had a vague answer in her heart, and this answer made her a little upset. Sure enough, she was not wrong. It was just a pity that such a good opportunity today. Liu Ruosi was so calm at such a young age, and could actually

It's watertight, so she can't find any flaws.

Suddenly, Su Qingnuan became a little upset.

After about a while of tea, I heard footsteps outside and voices coming from far away. It turned out that it was Mrs. Su and others coming from the Nuan Pavilion. Everyone got up hurriedly and welcomed Mrs. Su and the female relatives in.

Mrs. Su entered the room, sat down on the couch, and asked what happened just now.

"... He said he accidentally stepped into the water..." Apparently, Mr. Lao also hid something when he sent someone to report to Mr. Su, because he was afraid that Mr. Su would be worried and make the matter worse.

"When I was playing on the shore of Tingbu, if I wasn't careful... it wouldn't be a problem. Most of the time I got my skirt wet..." Su Qingnuan said.

Miss Wei Jiu had already sat next to Mrs. Dingyuan at this time and was talking to Mrs. Dingyuan in a low voice.

In the back garden of the palace, there is only a stepping stone between Zhiting and the lake bank. The lake water in between is very shallow, so naturally nothing big will happen. Seeing that the girls in the house were all well behaved, Mrs. Su did not

In my heart, I just thought that a few girls got carried away while playing and accidentally soiled the hem of their skirts.

Mrs. Liu Er asked Liu Ruosi with her eyes. Liu Ruosi shook her head gently, indicating that she was fine.

On one side, a little girl brought tea and snacks, and Mrs. Su talked to everyone. I don’t know if Ms. Su noticed that someone was missing, but she never asked. Mrs. Dingyuanbo seemed a little uneasy, but she didn’t mention it.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Liu Er stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Su.

"It's still early, it's rare for us to get together and sit down together," Ms. Su persuaded her.

While they were talking in the room, they saw the little girl opening the curtain from the outside, and Miss Wei Liu walked in wearing a black fox fur cloak. Immediately, several eyes in the room were directed at Miss Wei Liu.

Miss Wei Liu is petite, and the big cloak draped around her body almost touches the ground. Other than that, Miss Wei Liu seems to be no different from when she first came to the palace.

But Liu Ruosi could tell at a glance. Just now at Tingbu's place, Miss Wei Liu's hair was messy, but now Miss Wei Liu's hair was neatly combed, and her face seemed to have been re-painted.

Miss Wei Liu came in, blushing slightly, stepped forward to salute Mrs. Su, then walked downstairs and sat on the chair next to Miss Wei Wu.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly felt strange.

Mrs. Su looked at the big cloak on Miss Wei Liu and seemed to be a little stunned and forgot to speak. Mrs. Dingyuan, Miss Wei Wu and Miss Wei Jiu all looked at Miss Wei Liu in a complicated way.

When Miss Wei Liu sat firmly, Mrs. Su seemed to come back to her senses.

"Miss Six, this is..." Mrs. Su looked at Miss Wei Liu, and then at Mrs. Dingyuan Bo, with unconcealed doubts in her eyes.

What Miss Wei Liu was wearing was clearly a man's cloak. But to Su's eyes, this cloak looked so familiar.

"Back to the princess, I was behind Zhiting just now..." Miss Wei Liu said vaguely, but there was no hint of guilt. On the contrary, her attitude seemed to suddenly gain some confidence.

It was the certainty and... joy of winning.
