Nian Shilan was fascinated by the dazzling rose flowers blooming on the courtyard wall, and saw Songzhi coming in with a look of aggrievedness.
"What's wrong? You were asked to treat the master to dinner, but he has been wronged by you?"
Nian Shilan asked Songzhi with a smile.
Songzhi's eyes turned red and she knelt down.
"Let's talk if you have something to say. You've been following me since you were a child, and how often have you kneeled down to me like this? Why, my master has deducted money from you?"
The smile on Nian Shilan's face faded a little. As he spoke, he motioned to Luluo to help Songzhi up.
Songzhi stood up and hesitated before speaking.
"Master, forgive me. It's not that I mean to make you unhappy, but..."
Nian Shilan saw Songzhi hesitating, as if she had something to say but couldn't say it, so she entered the room and turned away the servants.
"Say, there are no outsiders here."
Nian Shilan sat down, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.
Songzhi had calmed down her emotions at this time and secretly blamed herself in her heart for why she had been wronged when she just met her master.
Just in case my master is impulsive.
Songzhi thought for a while and then said: "Replying to the master. It's not a big deal. I went to treat the prince to dinner. The prince only said that he would come to see you when he was done with his work. He didn't say clearly whether he would come tonight or not."
"Just because of this? No. This matter won't make you feel wronged. Tell me, what else is going on."
Nian Shilan put down the teacup and stared into Songzhi's eyes.
Songzhi was shocked by Nian Shilan. She had always been loyal to Nian Shilan, so she thought about it and said it.
"Of course this is not an aggrievement. On the way back, the slave was walking with his head down and didn't pay attention, and bumped into Hu Gege who was coming from the side."
After Songzhi finished speaking, he looked at Nian Shilan's face.
Nian Shilan sighed and said, "You have been serving me for so long, don't you know that I hate other people's hesitation in speaking? Take advantage of my good mood and finish it in one go."
"Yes. The slave collided with Hu Gege, but Hu Gege didn't blame the slave. It's just that the jade conch next to Hu Gege is nothing. A dog relies on human power to make the slave kneel down."
After saying these words, Songzhi regretted it again.
My master used to have a firecracker temper, not to mention that it depends on the master when beating a dog.
When he knelt down, didn't Hu Gege slapped Fujin in the face?
"Master, don't be angry. This slave is fine. I bumped into Princess, so I should kneel down." Songzhi hurriedly spoke to make amends.
Nian Shilan looked at Songzhi and sighed again: "I've wronged you. It's just what happened today, I'm afraid it's not Yuluo's dog-fighting."
"What do you mean, Master?" Songzhi seemed to have thought of something, but she was not sure.
"Well. Then the Hu family was willing to be Gege under the Ulanala family for five or six years, so how could she easily become my enemy? Fujin is her old master, is it possible that I, the eldest daughter of the Nian family, am easy to get along with?"
Nian Shilan asked Songzhi.
Suddenly a thought flashed through Songzhi's mind.
"You mean, Hu Gege hit the slave on purpose and used the jade conch to cause the attack?"
"I'm afraid so. That Yuluo is not a peaceful person at first glance. I'm afraid Hu Gege wanted to send her away, but due to her low status, she couldn't find a good excuse."
Nian Shilan said slowly.
"Then Master must not fall into Hu Gege's scheme. It doesn't matter if the slave is a little wronged, the slave is fine. The slave is just worried that you will vent your anger on the slave and fall into the trap."
Songzhi waved her hands to persuade Nian Shilan.
Nian Shilan chuckled: "Silly girl, do you think everything will be fine if you just hide in this palace? If I don't look for trouble, trouble will come to me. In this case, I might as well give her a favor and teach her a lesson. Teach some people to behave.”
This Hugege returned to Liufang Pavilion and sent Yuluo to the kitchen. It was not lunch time yet, so Hugege said that he wanted to have some refreshments.
It’s best to have milk tea and some less sweet fruits.
Yuluo took the order and went to the kitchen.
I happened to meet Lixia, the maid from Jinglanyuan, and came to get some refreshments for Nian Shilan.
Li Dafu, who was in charge of the kitchen, smiled and said to Lixia: "I'd like to ask Sister Lixia to come in person. I'm about to send someone over."
Li Xia also smiled: "You are so glib, who is your sister? I am younger than you."
Li Dafu nodded hurriedly: "Hey, look at my mouth. Sister Lixia, sister."
"Have you prepared the tea fruits we asked for from Fujin? The milk tea should not be too sweet and has a thick milk flavor. The chestnut cake should not be too sweet either. You can make the remaining items as you see fit."
Li Xia asked Li Dafu.
"It's ready, it's ready. Xiao Linzi came over early in the morning to deliver the message, and the servants have already prepared everything according to Xi Fujin's usual taste. The milk used in the milk tea was just delivered this morning."
Li Dafu laughed and directed the young eunuch to carry the food box for Lixia and send it to Jinglan Courtyard.
After sending Li Xia away, Li Dafu saw Yuluo who had been standing next to him for a long time.
