Slowly Deep Love

The cool breeze took away the anxious heat, and Yue Weiwei felt refreshed. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and she looked around for the sea of ​​flowers.

"I can't see the flowers, but I can smell their fragrance." Yue Weiwei said to herself.

"There is a big peach tree in the backyard with pink flowers blooming all over the branches. There is also a tall pear tree with white flowers as if it had snowed!" Nanny Li was very excited when talking about these two trees.

"Take me to see it!" Yue Weiwei grabbed Nanny Li's hand impatiently.

Nanny Li looked at Yue Weiwei holding her hand, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

Minglu's childhood days have long become a thing of the past, and those warm little hands always held her as she walked around in the courtyard of the Ming Mansion.

Such long-lost warmth made Nanny Li want to cry!

She turned her head, wiped her eyes quickly, pointed ahead and said, "Right there!"

Yue Weiwei pulled Nanny Li towards the backyard. The fragrance of flowers was blown away by the wind, sometimes she could smell it and sometimes she couldn't. Her expectations became stronger.

Along the wall of Qingxiang Pavilion, there are two huge trees, one pink and the other white.

“Is the name Qingxiang Pavilion related to these two trees?” Yue Weiwei let go of his hand and ran towards the tree.

Nanny Li quickly caught up with him.

More than ten years ago, she chased Minglu like this every day.

Now that I’m old, my legs and feet aren’t as flexible. After running a few steps, I start to wheeze and knock my knees.

Yue Weiwei walked from under the peach tree to under the pear tree, then from under the pear tree to under the peach tree, and finally stood where the two trees were adjacent. She looked up and saw the sky, which was half pink and half white.

Yue Weiwei had been frightened since she woke up, but now she was completely relaxed and stretched lazily.

Is this what heaven is like?

Finally there was a surprise today! She put all her worries and concerns behind her and enjoyed the mood at the moment.

After resting for a while under the tree, Yue Weiwei's worries came to her mind again. She asked Li Ma: "Minglu fell from the stairs. Where are the stairs?"

"Those are the steps to Chengtai Theater, not in Qingxiang Pavilion."

Minglu is under house arrest and she cannot go to Chengtai Theater now. Yue Weiwei thinks about it and decides that she must first understand the overall situation of Qingxiang Pavilion.

Yue Weiwei fell down from the mountain. She looked around and asked, "Madame Li, is there a hillside in Qingxiang Pavilion?"

Nanny Li laughed and said, "Young lady, you are joking! Qingxiang Pavilion is a courtyard where people live, how can there be a hillside? There is no hillside in the entire Taiwei Mansion!"

Yue Weiwei felt a little disappointed and walked out slowly from under the tree. Unable to find any similarities, she could only look for an opportunity to visit Chengtai Theater.

At this time, Changle came to look for Yue Weiwei and said, "Mrs. An and the Second Young Master came just now. They heard that the young lady had woken up, so they came to visit her."

"The news has finally gotten out, even though the Grand Marshal ordered it not to be spread." Nanny Li complained.

"They didn't come in. The guards at the door stopped them and said that the young lady had just woken up and needed to rest. But Aunt An brought some supplements and insisted that they be sent in."

"Who is Aunt An?" A new person appeared, and Yue Weiwei asked immediately as if she had heard an alarm.

"She is the concubine of the Grand Marshal and gave birth to a son named Li Jingwu, the second young master. The mother and son live in Lingta Pavilion." Nanny Li explained.

When Yue Weiwei heard the word "concubine", she felt a little uncomfortable. Although having three wives and four concubines was legal in ancient times, it was inconsistent with her values ​​as a modern person.

"Aunt An is very dutiful and always gives in to the Madam. The Madam is also a sensible person. Although the Second Young Master is not her biological son, she still values ​​him and lets him study in Xueshan Hall. The Second Young Master is also an ambitious person." Changle said.

"Is Xueshantang a private school?" Yue Weiwei asked.

"Xueshan Hall is located in the Taiwei Mansion. The Taiwei has invited the famous Mr. Gongsun to teach. He gives classes every other day, and each class lasts half a day." said Nanny Li.

"Is Mr. Li going to class too?" Yue Weiwei asked.

"Of course, my son-in-law has to go too." Changle replied.

Yue Weiwei felt uncomfortable when she heard the word "son-in-law".

"Not only that, the Grand Marshal also invited some studious people to accompany him in studying, including many from poor families. However, they must have real talents and knowledge, otherwise they cannot enter the Grand Marshal's Mansion." said Nanny Li.

"Once, I went to the kitchen to get food and happened to meet the students finishing school. Mr. Gongsun's lecture was delayed that day, so I had the opportunity to see a large group of young people, carrying their school supplies, discussing in low voices, full of energy!" Changle excitedly talked about the encounter.

"Look at you, you seem to have never seen the world, but a few students make you so excited." Nanny Li teased Changle.

Yue Weiwei also laughed, and moved closer to Changle and joked, "Is there anyone who is handsome?"

Changle blushed, covered her face, and was about to cry: "Miss, Mammy, you two are bullying me!"

"When I'm released from confinement, take me to Xueshan Hall to have a look." Yue Weiwei shook Changle's arm, as if begging.

"Mr. Gongsun has been ill and has not given lectures for five consecutive days. I heard that Xueshan Hall will open for lectures again the day after tomorrow." Changle said.

"Can I be released from the ban the day after tomorrow?" Yue Weiwei felt that time was too tight.

"There is a long time to come, miss. You are Madam Ming, and you can go anywhere in the Taiwei Mansion." Changle smiled and comforted Yue Weiwei.

Yue Weiwei thought: This girl only knows how to make her happy, and now she can't even leave Qingxiang Pavilion.

However, although she was happy, Yue Weiwei still smiled.

Nanny Li also laughed but said nothing.

Yue Weiwei just made a joke, which was not in line with her status, but her relaxed demeanor made Nanny Li feel at ease.

Back in the room, Yue Weiwei saw two brocade boxes on the table. These must be what Aunt An sent!

Nanny Li opened a box, revealing the ginseng inside.

This ginseng is smaller in size and cannot compare to the one sent by the Grand Marshal this morning.

"Madam An also has ginseng! It's worthy of being the Taiwei Mansion, there are so many treasures." Changle said.

"Although it is small, it is a token of friendship. Now we bring it to honor the young lady. We will keep it well for her health." Nanny Li carefully covered the brocade box and watched Yue Weiwei open another square box.

This was a small jade artifact, and Yue Weiwei's attention was immediately attracted to it.

She sat down to admire it carefully. There were two leaves, one large and one small, growing on the top of the citrus fruit. The texture of the skin was delicate and smooth, and the carving was exquisite.

Yue Weiwei stroked the veins of the leaves and exclaimed, "How beautiful!"

Madam Li said, "Mrs. An is very thoughtful. The pronunciation of tangerine is similar to the Chinese character for good fortune. May the young lady have great luck!"

Yue Weiwei held the tangerine in her hands, her love for it evident in her eyes. She walked around the room and finally decided to put the mascot on the dressing table.

At this time, Qian Yue came in with a plate and said, "Miss, you didn't eat much today, so I cooked some minced meat porridge. Eat it while it's hot!"

After a few people made some preparations, Yue Weiwei sat down to drink the porridge. The porridge was fragrant and had minced meat, which was light and delicious.

She didn't eat well at noon, and this bowl of porridge made her hungry. Just as she was about to eat a big bite, Nanny Li's earnest face suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Yue Weiwei picked up the spoon and scooped up the food one spoonful at a time.

"Qian Yue's cooking skills are really good! This bowl of meat porridge is delicious!" She gave a thumbs up and praised Qian Yue generously.

Qian Yue was very happy and said with a smile: "I make delicious food for you in different ways every day!"

Yue nodded slightly, feeling somewhat guilty, as if he had taken over someone else's nest.

After drinking the porridge, Yue Weiwei wanted to rest for a while, so Nanny Li and the other two left.

She sat at the table and looked around the room carefully.

Next to the screen is a shelf on which are displayed various antique toys.

Yue Weiwei walked up to them and touched them carefully. Each one was priceless.

"If I take one with me when I return to modern times, it will be enough for me to live for several lifetimes!" Yue Weiwei exclaimed in amazement.

In the middle of the shelf was an exquisite brocade box. She opened it curiously and saw a jade pendant inside.

Yue Weiwei carefully took it out and placed it in the palm of her hand. The turquoise jade was very transparent, and the skin color of her palm could be seen.

This jade pendant has several hollowed-out areas, and a circle of auspicious cloud patterns surrounds the auspicious knot. The carving craftsmanship is excellent!

Yue Weiwei exclaimed: "This jade pendant is small and easy to carry. I'll take it with you when I leave."

She put the jade pendant back, looked around the shelf, and then walked to the cabinet next to it.

This is the wardrobe. Yue Weiwei saw with her own eyes that Nanny Li was choosing clothes for her.

The wardrobe may contain secrets that may lead to a way to travel through time!

She put her upper body into the closet, touched every corner, took out all the clothes and piled them on the bed, and looked through the closet.

It looks like just an ordinary wardrobe!

Yue Weiwei was so tired that she was sweating all over. She collapsed on the bed and fell asleep in disappointment with her clothes as a pillow.
