On the day of Chongyang, Ye accompanied Mrs. Song to Jingzhongguan to make Jiao, and had to light the lamp for the east wine to divide pine tea and jujube soup.

Shi Gui had no place to go, everyone else left, the mother-in-law under the corridor watched the lights, she accompanied her, sat under the eaves and drank jujube soup, the water boiled by the big round jujubes, ate some honey, drank two sips, and tied the knot rope in her hand.

The sun came in, Shi Gui also picked up a place with the sun to dry her shoes, it was rare for the yard to be so quiet, she stretched her waist, and the apricot came in, and when she saw that there was no one in the courtyard, only Shi Gui was one, and beckoned to her: "You go to the kitchen to urge, see if the food for Zhile Zhai has been delivered." ”

The young man who came to the Song family lived in the clan school, and studied with the children of the Song family.

Three days off, he waited until today to return, the girls talked about him, they all said that he was interesting, knew not to trouble people, this matter is all taken care of, it must be done beautifully, Ye's got the news, immediately called Fanxing, and asked her to prepare some dishes to send over.

"Go and see how little it is. It was inconvenient for Fanxing to enter and leave the outer courtyard, but Shi Gui was a half-grown child, and he smiled while telling her: "When you come back, the two of us will also have a holiday." ”

The apricots were also bought from outside, there are no relatives here, and there is also a person to celebrate the festival under the big festival, Ye accompanied the old lady to eat soup and chant the scriptures, Chunyan guarded a few times, and put her vacation upside down, thinking that it would be okay to come back, so she simply asked for wine and food in the kitchen.

Shi Gui responded to the call while holding the newly made winter clothes and went out, all the way to Zhile Zhai, across half of the yard, only then to the door of Zhile Zhai, there was no sound inside, today is a holiday everywhere, the little guy guarding the door does not know where to run, Shi Gui went in and knocked on the door, the young man was sitting at the table writing, and the meal had not yet been delivered.

"Please, young master. The young man was engrossed, and when he heard the words, he raised his head, he still remembered Shi Gui, and smiled at her, Shi Gui had already entered the house, and put down the package in his hand: "This is the clothes and shoes that Mrs. gave to the young master this season, and someone will come to send the bedding later." ”

There is no girl in Zhile Zhai, Mrs. Song has not been greedy for women since he was young, don't talk about red sleeves and incense is an elegant thing, but he feels the most filthy, reading is reading, accompanied by beauties, and his voice is charming.

is a relative who came to vote, and the Song family also wants to give him a small scholar, everyone in the school has it, but he doesn't have it, so it doesn't seem to be treated lightly, and it doesn't cost a few taels of silver.

It is a good errand to be a scribe for the young master, but to be a scribe for such a poor relative who came to vote, then there is no hope, Song Yintang is the youngest son of the Gao Sheng family, but the powerful family members around Song Mian refuse to wait, since the Ye family ordered, there was no change, the person was sent, but he was more like a young master than Song Mian, how could he accompany him to clear the lantern during the festival.

Song Mian saw Shi Gui looking into the house and smiled: "I asked Moshu to go back for the holiday." ”

Shi Gui crisp raw product: "The young master is generous." "The house has not been laid, the stove is not lit, the water is not boiled, it is expected to be a small guy picked up by the family, this young master did not move, rolled up his sleeves and lit the stove for him, boiled hot water and brought it in, and the kitchen also sent vegetables.

Half a duck, a piece of flower cake, the dish is good, meticulous or not, you can see it at a glance, Shi Gui doesn't say anything, the young man stands in embarrassment, thanks in his mouth, but there is no money to reward.

"Thank you Mom, Sister Fanxing just asked, I said it must have been sent, what Mrs. ordered, how can mothers not be careful. Shi Gui lifted Ye out with a word, and the woman folded her hands and smiled: "Where do you want the apricot girl to urge, it's all a holiday today, and there will be snacks to be sent later." ”

When the mother-in-law left, Shi Gui poured tea and was about to go out, the young man took a cake and handed it to her: "This is for you, what is your name?" Shi Gui waved his hand again and again: "Can you take the things of the young master, my name is Shi Gui, and I am waiting in the wife's courtyard." ”

It's good to give him this cake as a favor, so you can't give it to others, it's good to share a point with classmates in the courtyard, no father and no mother are naked to take refuge, but they are not bullied everywhere.

The young man was born pale and thin, and he couldn't get white and fat in the Song family these days, holding a cake in his hand, seeing Shi Gui refusing, his face was red, so he had to give it to her: "I don't eat these sweets, you take them." ”

Shi Gui blinked, understood it, knew that this was his kindness, and gave him a blessing: "Young Master Xie Tang." The laughter group took it, and the young man smiled a little and nodded at her.

Shi Gui took the cake to the kitchen, the mother-in-law knew that she was to get the vegetables for Fanxing, and she was preparing wine and cutting meat, the new yellow rice was wrapped in a fried cake made of red dates, the duck was boiled and cut, the skin and flesh were crystal clear, and the crabs were also fat at this time, and a mother-in-law opened the urn and asked, "Fanxing girl may eat crabs in the past two days?"

This is to ask Shi Gui Fanxing if she has come to the moon, if she comes, she will also fry ginger brown sugar tea to eat, and compare it to the one sent to Zhile Zhai, everything is diligent and everything is appropriate.

The fragrant and tender crab was served in a celadon dish, and a pot of chrysanthemum wine was played, and the four-layer food box was full, and the sour jujube was pounded on the top: "This is the □□-soaked wine picked last year, and I will try it for the apricot girl." ”

While laughing and carrying the food box to the courtyard for Shi Gui, Shi Gui touched the money and came out, such a box is also a table, how do you know that Shi Gui also has it, the fresh whitebait is as white as jade, and the fresh water chestnut grass bridge water chestnut is neatly peeled and placed in the small plate: "This is for the girl as a snack." ”

Shi Gui didn't want to go to the kitchen to get this, so he pushed it back: "How can I take my aunt's things." "I can't prevaricate, but I accepted it in the end.

Fanxing asked for an errand first, seeing that Shi Gui nodded and beckoned her to enter the house, a pair of cups had already been placed on the table, and a thin silver-capped bottle with a beautiful neck was held in her hand: "You haven't eaten wine, drink some of this frost chrysanthemum dew, my wife gave it, I haven't tasted it this year." ”

poured a cup for Shi Gui, shared the duck, and fried cakes, Fanxing didn't talk much, Shi Gui also accompanied, both of them remembered their families, and they didn't have anything to say to each other, Shi Gui didn't say anything about his family, and Fanxing didn't remember where he was born, he only knew that he was sold, and it was also a one-way turn, and it was already good luck to fall into the Song family.

"When you have dinner, you will go to the courtyard to play under the Jiuhua Mountain. Fanxing knew that Shi Gui didn't have anything to say and didn't dare to leave the hospital at will: "Chunyan is too careful, you go to see your godmother at night." ”

Mrs. Zheng sent Chongyang cakes over two days ago, saying that she was going to celebrate the festival with her daughter, and the osmanthus grapes couldn't leave, so she didn't take them and sent them some cakes, even if it was a holiday.

Grape Ba had to go, stay in the courtyard to eat a lot of good things, to the festival to kowtow to the aunt and reward money, crisp should say, put some fragrant candy back to eat.

Shi Gui ate and took it, in the end, she didn't want to go, packed up her things, and worked for Fanxing, she didn't touch the needlework, she specialized in making accounts, she recognized more words than Chunyan, and a small abacus was touched, crackling and crackling.

As soon as Fanxing took out the account book, Shi Gui went out with interest, took some pastries and snacks, and brought the string of hawthorn and sour jujube cakes that Fanxing gave her to see the grapes.

Grapes are also guarding the courtyard, seeing her coming, the two sat down to make tea and eat snacks, and the other one is celebrating the festival, so I feel lonely, it turns out that a yard is lively and lively, and I know that I am a lonely goose when I arrive at the festival.

Grape was very interested: "Don't you know, my wife allowed my aunt's family to come to see her." "Aunt Qian's family is a small businessman, she runs a shop in Jinling City, and she wears silk and gold when she comes to the Song family.

Aunt Qian is not more than Ye's here, and after eating and drinking half of the grapes, she raised her face and said to Shi Gui: "I will raise the third class next month." "Grapes are also coarse, and the money has risen again when it is mentioned in the third class.

Shi Gui gave her a greeting, let her treat her as a host, the same is a rough envoy, Shi Gui is still wearing the old clothes given to her by light bamboo and stone chrysanthemum, the grapes have been changed into new ones, a coral red shirt, a blue and blue light pigmented flower skirt, red beads in the ears and eyes, a string of incense in her hands, even her hair is not a double girl, she has a small braid, and her face is also rubbed with rouge.

Shi Gui didn't know how to persuade her to be more restrained, and she wouldn't listen to it, but looking at the feelings in the past, he always had to say two sentences: "It turns out that the sisters around Aunt Qian are not pantothenic? ”

Grape stretched out his finger and nodded at her: "You are soft and cowardly, you can't be more motivated, squeeze down the light bamboo and stone chrysanthemum?" Shi Gui suspected that she had something, but it was not sure, only they sat here for a while, and the silver wisp stretched out her head several times, and the grape was about to say it again, and the silver wisp came out: "The master is coming at night, hurry up and prepare." ”

Shi Gui hurriedly gave the snacks to the grapes, out of the Yuancui Pavilion, all the way from the wood to the Lezhai, Shi Gui went to the house has been lit up, the little man guarding the door asked, Shi Gui replied that he came to send snacks to the young master.

Song Mian smiled slightly when he saw her, but he still had nowhere to put his hands and feet, where could he put the young master's score, Shi Gui sent the peeled water chestnuts to the small table: "Young master taste this, it's all fresh." ”

The young man didn't realize that she also deliberately ran this trip, knowing that it was a return gift for him, and the things were much better than the cake he gave, so he couldn't speak, and looked at the little girl wearing a goose yellow jacket and green cloth pants and walked out quickly, and the lonely girl shone a lamp on the pink and tender water chestnut, and took a bite of water and glutinous, chewed carefully before sitting in front of the desk again, took a pick and turned the lamp, spread out the book and read hard against the lamp.
