There is also a pavilion next to it where you can sit and drink tea and play chess in your spare time. It is also a unique and elegant place.
After returning to the bamboo courtyard, Wen Mianmian had lunch directly.
After the meal, Wen Mianmian strolled around the bamboo courtyard.
Fourth Master's Mansion
"Fujin, the medicine is ready."
Nanny Li walked in carrying a bowl of dark medicine that had a strong medicinal smell.
When Fu Jin saw the bowl of medicine, she frowned, took it and drank it in one gulp.
Nanny Chang immediately took a piece of candied fruit and handed it to Fu Jin.
Fu Jin took it and put it in her mouth. The bitter taste in her mouth was immediately replaced by sweetness, and Fu Jin's frown relaxed a lot.
After rinsing his mouth, he wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief and said, "The Li family is doing well."
"She's quite well-behaved. I haven't heard her making any noise." Nanny Chang said as she sorted things out.
"Just be content. I'm just worried she won't be content."
If the master had not suddenly had to go to the farm, if something happened to the baby in Li's belly at this time, the master would definitely think it was her fault.
She had already asked someone to take action.
The people there were useless. She hadn't been able to find an opportunity to take action in the past few days, otherwise she wouldn't have allowed Li to continue to act recklessly.
What Fu Jin didn't expect was that before she took action, someone else took action before her.

Inside the palace, the martial arts arena
A "swoosh" sound was heard, and an arrow was firmly nailed on a hay rake in the distance.
"Wow, fourth brother, you are so awesome." Little Fourteen was extremely envious when he saw his fourth brother's superb archery skills.
Xiao Shisan and the other princes were also very excited watching from the side.
"Good, very good, the fourth brother's archery has improved." Emperor Kangxi was very pleased to see it and walked over to praise him.
"Thank you for the praise, Father Your Majesty. I am unworthy of it." The Fourth Master said modestly.
In fact, he could have shot even better, but he kept a trick up his sleeve because his elder and second brothers were here.
However, he was still very happy that the emperor praised him.
Emperor Kangxi was somewhat relieved to see the fourth son like this. He was neither arrogant nor impatient, and would not become proud just because someone praised him.
"You all should learn more from your fourth brother, especially you, the third brother. You hold a book in your hand all day long and have quite a bit of knowledge, but you haven't made any progress in martial arts." Emperor Kangxi looked at the third brother with a look of disappointment and scolded him.
But the third brother didn't care much about it. He had no talent in martial arts.
He was sure he could draw his bow and hit the rake, which was already a good thing.
If you have this much time, you might as well write a few more poems.
"Father Emperor, you know I have no talent for martial arts." The third brother said helplessly.
"You just don't make progress. Don't give me so many excuses." Kangxi felt a headache when he saw his son.
Everyone else likes to practice martial arts, but he is different. He holds a book all day long and has not made any progress in martial arts.
Maybe even Lao Shi would lose if he fought with him.
"Look at your eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother, each of them is talented in both civil and military affairs."
Third Master: “…”
"Ahem, Father Emperor, should we continue?" The prince interrupted when he saw that the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.
After hearing this, Emperor Kangxi turned around, glared at him, then said, "Go on," and sat aside to watch them continue the competition.
Today I came to see how they practiced martial arts.
The prince was glared at by his father and couldn't help but touch his nose.
After the competition, Emperor Kangxi left.
Seeing the Emperor leave, everyone from the Ninth Prince to the Fourteenth Prince gathered around the Fourth Master and asked him to teach them archery.
The Fourth Master was so annoyed by them that he could only teach them one by one.
The Fourth Master spent the entire day today teaching his younger brothers in the martial arts training ground.
He was very careful and serious when teaching, and would point out any mistakes they made so that they could correct them.
Now the younger brothers have changed their views on the Fourth Master a lot.
Originally, the Ninth Master and the Tenth Master were more afraid of the Fourth Master, not for any other reason, but because he always had a stern face that said "keep away from strangers" and anyone who saw him would be scared.
In particular, they spend less time with the fourth brother, and at other times they have a better relationship with the eight brother.
If they hadn't thought that Fourth Brother had superb archery skills and hadn't received praise from the Emperor today, they wouldn't have dared to come forward and ask for advice.
When the Fourth Master returned to Qingyinyuan, it was already completely dark.
Seeing that it was getting late, the Fourth Master did not send anyone to invite Wen Mianmian over.
——
That day, the weather outside was gloomy and it started to rain. Wen Mianmian was in the house looking out the window.
The drizzle outside and the gentle swaying of bamboo leaves in the wind brought a touch of coolness to the somewhat sultry weather.
"It's finally raining, it's much cooler." Wen Mianmian sighed as she looked out the window.
"Yes, although living in the bamboo courtyard is much cooler than living in the mansion at this time, it is still a bit stuffy." Shancha put down the teacup and said with a smile.
Wen Mianmian sat down and picked up the teacup. In it was the bamboo leaf tea that Wen Mianmian had picked a few days ago. As soon as the tea took a sip, the fragrance of the bamboo leaves spread in her mouth.
"By the way, I'll send some of this bamboo leaf tea to the master later."
Wen Mianmian then remembered that her master had come to her place yesterday and drank the bamboo leaf tea she made and said it tasted good.
Thinking that she had made quite a bit of bamboo leaf tea, she asked Shancha to send some over later.
"Yes, I know. I'll send it over later." Shancha said with a smile.
"Well, go ahead and get busy. After the food is delivered, go to the kitchenette and bring me two plates of lotus cakes. I want to eat some."
"Yes, I've made note of that." After saying that, Shan Cha took the tray and walked out.
It was raining at this time, and Wen Mianmian didn't want to go out, so she stayed on the warm kang and read a picture book.
After Shancha left, she filled a jar with some bamboo leaf tea, put it in a basket and carried it to Qingyinyuan.
The master had not come back yet, so she gave the things to Xiao Shunzi and left.
On the way back, Shancha did not go directly back to the bamboo courtyard, but went to the kitchen to get some snacks.
When passing by a rockery on one side, I suddenly heard some movement coming from the other side.
Shancha originally wanted to leave, after all, it is better to have less trouble than more.
She didn't want to cause trouble for Gege.
But just as she was about to leave, she heard the man talking about the master.
This made Shancha stop and look around, but there was no one around.
Shancha walked under the big tree of the rockery, wanting to listen to what the people over there were saying.
She walked very quietly, so the people on the other side didn't know they were eavesdropping.
"This thing is very powerful. Girls must use it with caution. If you use it too much, it can be fatal." Someone whispered in a low voice.
"Don't worry, I will be careful, but if this matter gets out, you know the result." The woman's voice was also very low, but her tone was extremely cold.
He also gave the other person a bag of things. Judging from the weight, you could tell that there were a lot of things in it.
But Shancha still knew who the voice belonged to.
