After a while, Baoyu finally arrived, but the person who came was not Sister Feng, but Ping'er, the most proud girl beside Sister Feng, everyone saw Ping'er and smiled, "Why are you here?" ”

Ping'er first squatted towards everyone and made a blessing salute, and then replied: "There are people in the palace, the second grandmother wants to entertain, and she wants to send monthly money, so she can't leave, but I am afraid that the girls will make it bad to call people, so let me come here, one is to serve the girls, and the other is to make me comfortable for a long time." ”

Li Kun grabbed Ping'er's arm, "You are Brother Feng'er's right-hand man, and it's the same if you come, our family," Li Kun looked left and right, except for everyone's personal servants, the rest of the servants were not there, so she also said a few more complaints, "It's not that I said, these people are really a decent heart, two rich eyes, and only this Feng girl can suppress them, and the rest of the people are just afraid that they will not be able to move." ”

The people here don't have any empathy for these words, after all, the big families of the Dayue Dynasty now respect the girls who have not come out of the cabinet, not to mention Daiyu, who is favored by Jia's mother, naturally the people below dare not treat it casually, but Li Kun, a marginal figure in the Rongguo Mansion, is afraid that it is this kind of warmth and coldness, and the experience is very profound. ”

Ping'er hurriedly smiled, "What kind of joke did the eldest grandmother say, it's just that you and the girls are both scholars, and they have good tempers, and they don't want to deal with these people underground, and occasionally there is an inappropriate smile in the past, but my second grandmother is really a fiery character, and there is no room for a little sand in her eyes, she is willing to tear off her face and make trouble with those starters, and the pungent appearance is a little deterrent, and these people know that the eldest grandmother is a bodhisattva-like person, so it is naturally so." ”

Xue Pan sighed secretly in his heart Sure enough, this Ping'er has merit, after saying this, he dispelled Li Kun's vague complaints, and praised Li Kun to explain that because you have a good temper and good temperament, you don't scold people, Sister Feng is spicy, and she is willing to pull down her face to make trouble, so people are afraid of it. It's not because you don't have status.

After saying a few words, everyone was ready to sit down, and someone from outside walked in again, smiling at Baoyu and saying, "Second master, Miss Shi is here." ”

Baoyu hurriedly said, "There was no news in the morning, I thought I wouldn't come, but I didn't expect it to come again." So he hurriedly went out to greet him, Xue Pan didn't expect Xiangyun to come, and smiled at the women, "You guys are deliberately giving me a surprise, aren't you?" I didn't know that Yun Ya was coming. ”

Yingchun said with a smile, "Brother Xue doesn't know, Baoyu asked the old lady to send someone to pick it up a few days ago, I don't know what's going on, saying that the Shi family has something, but I'm afraid that it can't come out cheaply, so it's just that, I didn't expect it to come again today, but all of a sudden, I didn't deliberately hide it from Brother Xue." ”

"In that case," Xue Pan said with a smile, "then we should go out together to greet us." ”

Everyone walked out of the open hall and walked outside together, only to see Baoyu pulling a girl wearing a big red face with a snowflake satin begonia flower cloak to come around, no one arrived, but Xiangyun's hearty laughter arrived first, "Okay," Xiangyun quickly walked to everyone's side, first took Daiyu's hand, and then winked at Xue Pan, "Brother Xue has such an elegant thing, why don't you call me?" It must have been deliberately avoiding me, if it weren't for the second brother coming to me, I'm afraid that I would still be sitting at home and wouldn't be able to play with my sisters. ”

"It's just to take advantage of the absence of Senior Sister Shi to be interesting," Xue Pan clapped his hands pretending to be annoyed, "I have prepared good food, I originally thought that I would eat it secretly, but when Senior Sister Shi came, I can't say that I will be robbed by you again, Sister Ping'er, be sure to hide it, and wait for the big guys to withdraw before giving me someone to use." ”

Shi Xiangyun's eyes widened, "What good things has the eldest brother prepared, and he still wants to avoid me?" ”

Only Xiangyun, a pure-minded person, took Xue Pan's words seriously, and everyone laughed, "People are here to lie to you." Xiangyun then understood, knowing that Xue Pan was making fun of herself, she was not annoyed, "Brother Xue is used to making fun of her, but if you expect me and Sister Lin to be angry, that's not possible," Zijuan stepped forward and untied Xiangyun's cloak, "Since there are delicious and fun, I have to come out anyway, Big Brother Xue will hurry up and bring it up." ”

Daiyu slapped Xiangyun, "Okay, why did you get involved with me again?" ”

Baoyu smiled, "Yes, today is your Sister Lin's birthday, counting, she is the most noble person today, but you are not allowed to talk about your Sister Lin." ”

"The second brother knows that he is eccentric," Xiangyun took Daiyu's hand and smiled, "Sister Lin is not angry yet, you just jumped up, it really responds to that old saying, the emperor is not in a hurry...... What a hurry! ”

Xiangyun took off her cloak, revealing a jade bottom of a hundred flowers and butterflies wearing clouds with narrow sleeves, goose-yellow velvet skirt, emerald green palace silk, she made fun of Baoyu so much, Baoyu was not angry, and everyone welcomed Xiangyun into Changxuan, before he sat down, Xiangyun said that he wanted to meet Aunt Xue first, Xue Pan smiled, "No need, she knows that we are going to play here today, so she went out early in the morning to go to where Mrs. Aunt is, Yan Ming knows that the elders are here, but I am afraid that the big guy will not have a good time, so that the big guy does not have to be restrained." ”

The location has been set up a long time ago, all are a person, a chair and a table, this out of the open Xuan, but it is half a small pavilion, with the copying hands on both sides, as if it is a small crescent, opposite is a pink wall with a carved window of slate, under the powder wall is the peach blossom that blooms very brightly, the cobblestone paving on the ground, there is a small rockery on the side, three or four green bamboos, and the rest of the objects are decorated with clear soup and little water, and the peach blossoms are set off with more and more vitality, but it is quite a wonderful frame in the Jiangnan garden.

Everyone didn't sit down first, and stood on the pebble ground outside the verandah to enjoy the peach blossoms for a while, and then sat down, today is Daiyu's birthday, and I want to invite Xue Pan, so please take a seat for the two, Xue Pan and invite Li Kun to sit first, Li Kun smiled, "I'm old, I'm old, I won't sit in the first seat." ”

Xue Pan proposed, since there were no outsiders to sit at will, he took the lead in leaning on a few green bamboos in the west, and sat down on the side of Yingchun and Xiangyun, Xiangyun's right hand sat Daiyu, Baoyu and Li Kun Baochai and others sat on the other side, so everyone looked at each other, "It's a coincidence that everyone is here today." ”
