There are plum forests in Meizhuang, there are whole fields of jasmine, roses, chrysanthemums, lotus ponds, osmanthus trees, and locust trees...... There is no shortage of beautiful scenery all year round.

There is also a unique scenery that is not found in the big mansions in the city - the vegetable garden.

Summer is the ripening season, and the vegetable garden is full of colorful vegetables, such as red persimmons, purple eggplant seeds, and green cucumbers...... It adds a colorful and lively summer to Meizhuang, especially to the little girl.

Xiao Zhixuan was taking her sister Ling'er to pick vegetables in the vegetable garden at this time, and Mother You said that today they were going to learn to make a cold dish, so one picked cucumbers and the other picked persimmons.

Pan Shuling only learned that there was a vegetable like persimmon after arriving in Meizhuang, and immediately fell in love with it, and the eldest brother who also fell in love with persimmon had promised her to plant persimmon in their British mansion Zhuangzi immediately, and she could eat it often in the future.

In fact, the persimmons here in Meizhuang are also planted for the first time and harvested for the first time, and the dim sum has just been launched for a limited time, and the sweet and sour are very popular. It's a pity that the quantity is small, so it will be launched for a limited time, and customers with a VIP card will have priority to purchase.

Persimmon seeds were bought by Liang Dahai from a merchant by chance because of curiosity, but he didn't expect to be surprised when he saw it, but Liang Dahai was glad that he believed the words of the merchant and bought back the seeds, but unfortunately he never met the merchant again, and no other merchant brought other seeds to Daying.

There were a bunch of people guarding the two little girls who were picking vegetables, and Zhiruo was leisurely drawing under a big tree not far away, and the painting was the vegetable garden and the little girl.

The modern Yin Huien studied art and jewelry design, and Yin Zhiruo of the Daying Dynasty has been a compulsory course since she was three years old, so her painting level is really good. Mother You and Mama Ling just glanced at it casually at first, and then ...... The eyes were full of shock, and they couldn't stop it. They had all heard that the county lord of Qianxin had spent a lot of money to cultivate Yin Zhiruo's piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and dance before his death, but there was no fame, in their minds, it should be decent, although it is not amazing, but it is not too bad, but they didn't expect it...... Is Yin Zhiruo too good at hiding, or is the county lord Qianxin too low-key!

Seeing the expressions of the two mothers, smiling proudly like spring, what is this? They have never seen a girl draw with a thin strip of carbon, it is unique, anyway, she has never seen a painting like that before.

When Yin Xinrou and the three of them walked over, they saw such a warm and joyful scene, but unfortunately, before they could get closer, they were stopped by the rough envoy on the outermost stage: "Mrs. Gu, please stay, the little county lord is playing over there, you can't get close without Mama Ling's permission." disturbed the little county lord, and Prince Pan would be very unhappy. ”

Not only will Pan Shizi be unhappy, but the queen will not be spared, Zhang Zhen'er looked at the two happy figures in the vegetable garden over there with envy, and sighed secretly in her heart. She also followed the second sister to the British Mansion twice, but unfortunately she could only play in the yard of Miss Pan, and once she rarely saw the fifth girl Pan who was not the lord of Lingya County at that time in the garden, and the second sister took the opportunity to ask her to play with the fifth girl for a while, but the fifth sister still refused because her fifth sister was so quiet that she didn't like people to approach. Later, her mother occasionally heard that even the fourth girl of Pan could not get close to the fifth girl casually, for fear of violating the taboo of the queen's mother, and the relationship between the big house of the Pan family and the brothers and sisters of Pan Shizi was not as good as they imagined.

Yin Xinrou felt obediently: "We don't dare to disturb the little county lord, we just discuss something with my eldest nephew, oh, and Mama Ling." ”

Zhiruo knew that he had a lot in his heart, so he let them go: "What does Auntie want to discuss?" If you just watch the shadow show, as long as Mama Ling has no opinion, she has nothing to object, and children will really like to watch it. Moreover, Yin Xinrou and the three of them came all the way from the capital to cling to the Lingya County Lord, how could they give up if they didn't give them a chance?

Sometimes she really doesn't understand the nobility of these so-called scholarly families. Since he is so particular about the arrogance of the literati, and he is devoted to building a talented woman at a young age, how can he teach such a young child to bother to cling to the powerful? How can such a child who is too utilitarian devote himself to learning and become a real talented woman?

Yin Xinrou glanced at Mama Ling cautiously, and then replied with a flattering smile: "We didn't expect that it would happen so coincidentally that the county lord Lingya also lived in Meizhuang, since we met, the three girls of our family happened to be learning to play the shadow play that was trending in Beijing recently, so I thought that maybe the little county lord would like it, and it was also to make up for our unintentional offense today." ”

"Oh?" Zhiruo said with a smile, "Cousin still plays shadow play?"

Zhang Ling'er's performance today is much more generous and reasonable: "The maid next to me makes a living from shadow plays, she not only can act in shadow plays, but also be a shadow person, I just learned a little, thinking that when I wait for my grandmother's birthday, I will perform a paragraph, even if I am not skilled, it can be regarded as colorful clothes and entertainment." If the little princess and Sister Xuan'er are interested, you can watch my maid perform, or you can learn to play shadow with our sisters, which is much more interesting than just watching shadow plays. ”

Zhiruo secretly raised her eyebrows, this girl said this brilliantly today, a little bit neither arrogant nor humble, I don't know if it was taught by Yin Xinrou or Zhang Zhen'er.

Although Mama Ling is very disdainful of Yin Xinrou and the Zhang family's clinging behavior, it doesn't hurt to make the little county lord and Xuan'er little girl have more fun, the little county lord has seen a shadow show in Beijing before coming to Meizhuang, and he is indeed very interested in the shadow man.

Yin Xinrou knew that there was a drama when she saw the reactions of Zhiruo and Mama Ling, and hurriedly gave Zhang Ling'er a look, they came prepared.

Ju Xiang behind Zhang Ling'er was more clever than the master, gently pulled Zhang Ling'er's sleeve, opened a small bag in her hand and handed it to her, and in the bag were three colorful flat dolls.

Zhang Ling'er took a step forward, so that Zhiruo and the others could better see the leather puppets tied with white silk threads and small wooden sticks: "These are all Zhaojun's shadow figures, and the one wearing the red big hat is Wang Zhaojun." Ju Xiang said that there are still at least three shadow figures missing, and she is rushing to make them, but the materials are not enough, she has to go out of Zhuangzi to buy some back, and it is estimated that it will be completed in another two days. ”

Zhiruo glanced at Mama Ling inquiringly, Mama Ling has always respected Zhiruo, nodded slightly and smiled: "The little county lord likes it after watching a shadow play once, and if Miss Xuan'er likes it too, there will be no problem." She just didn't want to create an atmosphere centered on the little princess and forcing the owner to be a guest. Since it's two little girls playing together, it's natural that both of them like it.
