Since returning to Jinling, the daughters of the Xu family have quickly returned to the countryside and returned to the atmosphere in the boudoir in the past.

At the beginning of June, the six mangs are planted, and since ancient times, the daughters in the boudoir have to prepare all kinds of sacrifices to the god of flowers. But because the whole family is far away in Dalian this year, and they are in a hurry to take a boat into Beijing, how can they still be in the mood? On this day, Mu Ningxue replied to the old lady and asked the girls to take a day off.

Aunt Xiao and Mei remembered the past of playing in their childhood, and they were also very interested. When the old lady saw that they liked it, she allowed everyone to wander around for a day, and said, "Ming'er, I will also go to the garden to see your nourishing flower gods." ”

This show, the girls and girls of the house are all happy, each prepared a sacrifice to send flowers, invited relatives and friends to come, and then Xu Qinglian and the four sisters of green peach, red leaves and green bamboo will return to their parents' house together.

Xu Hao was very happy when he heard about it, this is a festival unique to boudoir girls formed as early as the Tang and Song dynasties or even earlier, and it should be retained.

The next day, it was a beautiful day. After breakfast, nearly 100 people gathered in the garden. Just like the description in the Red Mansion, those who use petals and wicker to weave sedan horses, or those who use silk satin yarn to make banners and flags, are all made of colorful velvet threads, all kinds of brocade, and every flower and branch are all tied.

I saw that the garden was full of splendid swaying, flowers and branches, and these girls and girls, each dressed up with bright eyes and bright teeth, beautiful and delicate, in short, the scene is endless.

The old lady sat on a rattan chair and came to the garden with several ladies, sat down in the Linxia Pavilion, and watched her own girls party, or watched the leaping fish by the water. or look at the sky to see the dancing cranes, or pick flowers or fight strange grass; Xu Miaojin and Zhang Chai are guests who seem to be very gentle, but it is their own girls who take the girls and return to their parents' homes like birds out of the cage, or stand under the trees, or sit on the mountain stones, each showing their own learning, either playing silk or tasting bamboo, in short, everyone indulges in frolicking and playing.

For a time, the shadow brocade shuttled through the forest, and the flower boat floated in the blue waves. Suona smells through the water. It can be said that the beautiful scenery of a good day is not in vain.

Xu Hao stood alone on the tall building, looking down at the long-lost lively scene in the park, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion and a lot of joy. Slowly ordered: "You go and inform General Geng." Ask him to restrain his sons. I will not tolerate it again and again. ”

"Yes!" Li Dong bowed and agreed.

In a gazebo in the distance, two little girls were whispering. A round face said: "You are better than me horizontally and vertically, how can I compare to you?" Seeing that she is serving the second grandmother, she is rewarded from time to time, and the second grandmother is now firmly established at home, and she treats you old people well, and it is also fast to get up and down. ”

Another melon seed face sighed: "Alas! Where is something better than you? Although it has been seen in the eyes of grandma, it is not rewarded for no reason, who doesn't know the famous iron rooster of the second grandmother? Besides, who can compare to the third young master's person? As the saying goes, 'there is destiny', and I am not so stubborn, and I have only buried myself in the past two years. If you come and follow the third young master, and you don't go out for the rest of your life, you may have a shrug time, who can know the way? ”

The round-faced girl said, "Amitabha! You also said that you can't bury yourself, listen to me and don't be ashamed, when the old Liu's mother in the laundry room asked me for the three thousand Wen that day, I was so anxious that I really wanted to hang myself, and then I was so anxious that I couldn't do it, so I went to ask the Sixi grandmother of the weeping flower gate, and took out the red cloth cotton jacket she was wearing. Do you think, where can I redeem myself in the winter? ”

The melon-faced girl said in surprise: "Phew! How do you get a thing, you don't look like we came from outside, your father and mother are here, where is the difficulty in these two thousand texts? Talk to your mom, it's not ready-made? ”

The round-faced girl smiled bitterly: "Don't talk about my mother, since I came in, not only did I not give pocket money, but I didn't even give a flower powder, why don't you bear the girl's reward?" You have the ability to make money to spend, if you don't have it, it's fine. But everyone said that the third girl's temperament had completely changed, not to mention the reward, and she had to be severely reprimanded for coughing, and when I had no clothes to wear in the winter for a few days, see if she would redeem me? ”

"Are you more decent than me, how can you say that you are the person next to the girl, who doesn't pity the third girl now? But I just became a cotton coat. The melon seed face girl flattened her mouth, "My clothes have been finished in April, and the silk shirt I am wearing now is still given by Sister Musk Yue." You don't know, I borrowed 5,000 wen from the black account last winter, and her interest was the heaviest, and she had to pay three cents a month, and she was so exploited by her, and I haven't paid it off until now. I heard her say yesterday that the interest will reach 10,000, think about it, can I afford it? ”

The round-faced girl asked curiously: "At this time, only someone is willing to lend me money, where do you care about the benefits on it?" But which one does the black account mean? I don't know her. ”

The melon seed said with disdain: "It's the dead Wang's housekeeper's daughter-in-law Lamei, in her twenties, thin and tall, dressed up all day long, the one who loves to pull the high hairpin, I heard that she is a fox spirit who is as good as she can do, and she is cute and money." In the background is the housekeeper Zhang's mother in the kitchen, and Sister Zhiyan's sister-in-law, they are the most black-hearted. ”

The round-faced girl said: "Sister Ming'er guaranteed that I borrowed thousands of envoys from the black account." ”

"I am in debt now, how can I be a guarantor? I was originally reported by Zhou's sister-in-law, if you find a good guarantee, I will go for you. The melon-faced girl came up with an idea.

"It's easy to find bail." The round-faced girl thought for a while, "Ming'er, I'll find a more decent one, but her interest is too heavy, I don't know what a widow can do with so much money?" ”

"What else can you do if you raise a man?" The melon seed face girl looked disdainful, "I don't dare to hope to go to Jiangxuezhai, but if you go to the fourth girl's Shuangxuezhai, or the eldest grandmother's Jinxi Pavilion, Miss Yushi's listening to the rain Guanlan is also 10,000 times stronger than that of the long house." The second room has a large income, and this idea of debt is not in my eyes. ”

"Who's to say it isn't." The round-faced girl looked envious, "Look at that Lingyu, she was the first to be sent back to serve the third young master, only in the past few months, see what she has become?" Not only is no one willing to lend her money, but now she is wearing something on her head like a beauty. Sitting on the table and snorting melon seeds, she is so beautiful! I think she came in later than we did, so she was crushed in a mud puddle like us, and she couldn't get out. ”

The melon-faced girl said: "That Lingyu is thanks to the strength of Miss Liu, so she was sent back to Beijing, and she will not forget the benefits of the girl in the future." ”

The round-faced girl said: "Alas, since I entered the Flower Pavilion, I have been slow to say that I have won the love of the girls, even my own girls have never asked a word with a face, I don't know how this life is so bad." Last month, my mother called a blind gentleman to tell my fortune, and he said, 'I will see joy this autumn, and no joy will be a disaster'. ”

The melon-faced girl teased: "It must be a big fat boy." The other listened, and spat hard: "Phew! Rotten mouth hooves, talk about your illness, you have a child, you raise a child. ”

said that the wall had ears, and they were all heard by Xu Luzhu and Xiao Yushi who were passing by, and the two shook their heads and walked out, only to see Xu Qinglian and Mu Ningxue sitting under a begonia fruit tree and talking softly, watching the red leaves and a group of girls fighting all kinds of flowers and plants joking.

Xu Luzhuxin said that the eldest sister-in-law went to Liaodong, the third sister-in-law was pregnant and didn't care about trivial matters, and she had no friendship with the second sister-in-law, and the two girls seemed to be people in the long house, and she couldn't help but sweep the second sister-in-law's face and embarrass her when she said it in public.

At that moment, Xu Luzhu said: "Zhang Hai and the others are all playing in Linxia Hall, and they also asked if they have made that tangram here, and are they waiting?" ”

Zhiqing got up and gave way, Luzhu sat down, Xiao Yushi stood for a moment and then continued to walk, watching Xu Miaojin and Zhang Chai sitting on the table to solve the nine links. Momiji smiled: "Oh, the inspector is back, is the ground in Kyushu too peaceful?" Are there no bandits in the territory? ”

Xiao Yushi stretched out his sleeves and shook his fan, and said with a smile: "The sage is in power, naturally Haiyan Shengping, assisted by virtuous ministers, concentrating on governing the country, and there can be bandits?" ”

Everyone was talking and laughing, and suddenly saw the maid Moqin running over in a panic, standing behind Xiao Yushi, Xu Jiang was holding a flower in his hand, rushed over, put down his face and pulled Moqin's sleeve, and shouted, "You really don't take it out?" ”

Mo Qin just smiled and shrank to the side to dodge, Xiao Yushi glared at her and asked, "What's the matter, what is the matter so scrambling?" You still don't give it to take it out. ”

This Moqin is twelve years old this year, not a few years older than Xu Jiang, and both of them are children's tempers. Xiao Yushi has always loved Xu Jiang and Xu Hu brothers very much, and Xu Jiang is used to it casually in her house.

Mo Qin said with a smile: "The sixth young master went to take advantage of the girl's absence in the house, looking for some tangram and rummaging through the cabinets." I asked him if the girl was going, but he didn't follow and insisted on grabbing it, so I got it here. ”

After speaking, Mo Qin took it out from his sleeve and handed it over, Xiao Yushi gave it to Xu Jiang casually, and Xu Jiang turned around and ran away happily.

Zhang Hai Hongye and the other big men laughed and said, "What a virtuous prime minister!" I didn't know that my home was robbed in broad daylight, and I only cared about patrolling outside. ”

Xiao Yushi said with a smile: "Si said: forget his family business for the country." ”

But it was said that Xu Ji ran away with his head down with the tangram diagram, and was blocked by someone who reached out to block the way, looked up, and hurriedly whispered in a proper manner: "Third brother is good." ”

Xu Hao smiled and asked, "You were also on vacation today?" ”

Xu Jiang said: "The old lady missed me, so he asked the housekeeper to go to the military academy to pick me up, and I will go back to study in a few days." After speaking, he handed over the tangram in his hand.

Xu Hao took it and said unhappily: "One day is enough, why don't you skip class before the school is closed, if you don't get me a good grade, I will ask you to be an ordinary soldier guarding the Great Wall." Go ahead. ”

"Yes." Xu Jiang saluted honestly and walked forward, stuck out his tongue halfway, and rushed out of the garden to play with his friends. (To be continued......)
