On the 8th day of the second month of the 24th year of the 24th year of Otsukoshi Yonghe.

The festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, although it is already in February, but how much is still cherished, especially Luoyang, the capital of the world, is naturally singing and dancing, no day can be stopped, poetry and wine camellia, wonderful very, very happy, these days the weather is excellent, the Yellow River is gradually thawing, the upper reaches have brought a lot of ice floes on the Yellow River, tinkling dong, although the weather in the north is much colder than the south of the Yangtze River, but the weather in February, the willows are like smoke, the grass spits new sprouts, the swallows return to the nest, the wind in the sky with a little warmth, the sky is blue, Although the temperature is still low, and the big guys are wearing big wool clothes, it is somewhat a sign that spring is coming.

Xiangling started early in the morning, which is rare, after all, although Xiangling regards herself as a maid who serves her uncle (this consciousness is very invisible), but the Xue family does not regard her as a maid, at least not as an ordinary maid, and there are still little maids waiting for the maid? Xiangling has a little girl waiting for her, which is a blessing that no one has, and the people in the family call it "Xiangling girl", which is the title that a serious lady should have.

Aunt Xue loves Xiangling very much, and she doesn't have to go to her to set up rules in Su Ri, so Xiangling usually gets up late, but today she woke up early, got up with Dou'er to wash and change her clothes, and went to Baochai's room first, Xiangling's room is next to Baochai, and when she arrived in Baochai's room, she saw Baochai also got up, and was dressing up in front of the dresser, and saw Xiangling and smiled: "You got up early." ”

Xiangling took the lacquered luodian plate to Baochai, on which there were a lot of peony flowers, "This is not to prepare to send the uncle out, I just got up early." ”

Baochai chose a pale green peony flower and stuck it obliquely behind her head, looked at the clothes and jewelry, got up and Xiangling together, and came to Aunt Xue's side, when she arrived here, Aunt Xue also got up early, and was asking Yang Hua to set up the dining table and prepare for breakfast, and the two of them saluted together, Aunt Xue asked, "You guys are also up?" Hey," she sighed, her eyelids swollen, "I didn't sleep well this night, it's really ......"

Aunt Xue stopped talking, but Baochai hurriedly comforted, "It's not a big deal, why should Mom be so worried?" If you want me to say, it's just to go out to see once, and my brother came out on order, thinking that it's okay. ”

It's okay not to persuade, Xue Baochai persuaded like this, Aunt Xue's eyes were red, and it seemed that she was about to cry again, the two girls were comforted, but they didn't see any effect, at this time Xue Pan swaggered in, and saw Aunt Xue wiping her tears again, but she knew why, she smiled slightly and didn't open her mouth to persuade anything, "Sit down, hurry up, Yang Hua," Xue Pan said to Yang Hua, the girl who was waiting on the side with a hot white handkerchief, "What is prepared at home?" Buns with beef with shepherd's cabbage? Hurry up, what's more? ”

Yang Hua waved his hand, and the maids sent the breakfast up like a flowing stream, in addition to Xue Pan's unforgettable beef soup dumplings, there are thousands of steamed buns, horseshoe cakes, Sixi steamed dumplings, dragon beard noodles mixed with sesame oil and mushroom meat sauce, salty and fragrant, and almond tea, soybean milk, all burned hot, steaming up, porridge two, longan red date porridge and duck japonica rice porridge, in addition to Gaoyou's salted duck eggs, Wuxi pickles, Suzhou's tofu milk, all kinds of displays, placed a full table, but Xue Pan also ignored Aunt Xue, Eating by herself, Xue Baochai glared at Xue Pan, but she didn't expect this trick to be good for Aunt Xue, seeing Xue Pan eating happily like this, Aunt Xue was in a better mood, "You kid, you eat so much in the morning, and you are not afraid of waiting for a while to ride a horse and have an uncomfortable stomach." He complained in his mouth, but told Yang Hua to hurry up and bring hot beef buns to Xue Pan.

Baochai was a little speechless about his mother's duplicity, Xue Pan took Yang Zhisheng's bowl of red beans and small glutinous rice balls, and said with a smile, "I got up early and played a few punches, just when I was hungry, it doesn't hurt to eat more, I still have to prepare to go to school, now the time for these two classes to compete is coming, although I am lazy, but I can't lose face, how much I have to study carefully and do a good job in learning." ”

Xiangling hurriedly clapped her hands, "Uncle is amazing!" ”

Baochai couldn't help but smile, "My brother is holding Buddha's feet temporarily, but I don't know if it's useful." ”

"Grinding the gun in battle, if it doesn't shine, how can it be useless?" Xue Pan said with a smile, "What's more, although I don't have a bad climate, there are so many brothers around me to help me, and there is no reason to be motivated." ”

Aunt Xue said angrily, "As long as you like to mix in Su Ri, it's good now, and you still make a diligent and motivated appearance, and you are not afraid of people's jokes." ”

"There is no reason for it."

Aunt Xue sighed, "I heard that you are going to Shuzhong this time?" What is there to go in Shu! The mountains are high and the road is far away, and it is so difficult, your uncle went to that place, and he almost couldn't come back, and now he is only on the way back, and he doesn't know when he will be able to go home in Beijing, you go, your sister Xiangling and I are very worried at home, and I want to say," she put down the silver-inlaid ebony chopsticks and said to Baochai, "Why don't you take leave?" Anyway, I can't be a big official! ”

Xue Pan said with a smile, "How can this be done, the two classes are the rules set by the old man of the Holy Queen a long time ago, as long as they are students of Xian'an Palace, they must participate, naturally, if you don't want to participate, you can do it, the officials at the head of the family must be exempted, and it is not a pity that this official on my body is exempted, but Mom, what about your decree, such beautiful clothes are handed over to the household department, it is always a pity?" ”

"My son, if I can exchange you for peace and security, even if I go back, what's the matter," Aunt Xue didn't care much about the identity of this fate, but the official of the family, she was a little reluctant, this is the inheritance of the family, and it is always a little bad to lose it in her own hands.

Xue Pan was a little moved, "Mom, don't worry," Xue Pan smiled, "It's just a group of people who go out to see a thing or two, what danger is there there?" Besides, even if my son dares to mess around, he will go out with some princes, princes, princes, and princes, even if I want to mess around, I won't have a chance. ”

"Brother, what are these two classes comparing?" Baochai asked, "It's different every time, but I don't know what it's compared this time, has the master said it?" ”

"I didn't say it, it's an extremely confidential matter," Xue Pan shook his head, "No one knows." ”
