Shi Gui couldn't wait for Song Mian, he waited for Gao Jia first, Shi Gui also greeted him as usual, called the eldest brother of the Gao family, and then asked what he sent home.

Mrs. Liu's eyes swept back and forth on the two of them, thinking that she had eaten more salt and rice, and she couldn't push it anymore, even if Shi Gui didn't think about it, Gao Jia was not a hard-hearted man, and was about to shrink into the kitchen, when she heard Shi Gui call her: "Mother Liu, come quickly, move these to the kitchen, let the water chestnut pick a few good-looking, and put them up for the girl to smell and see." ”

Mrs. Liu's heart was speechless, with the wealth of the family, and she didn't take these as things, her mouth was full of answers, and she carried things in with a smile, because she didn't eat meat during the filial piety period, the Song family sent most of the fresh fruits, agate grape honey bowl covered persimmons, and a basket of new chestnuts, which were piled up, and Mrs. Liu and the water chestnut were carried in.

Mrs. Liu took advantage of Shi Gui's lack of points, first took a cloth bag, grabbed a handful of chestnuts and filled them with two large persimmons, and the water chestnut was about to call, so Mrs. Liu scratched her: "Send it to your brother and sister-in-law, your nephew must eat some good supplements in your sister-in-law's belly." ”

Water chestnut flattened her mouth: "This is the girl's, my mother is so greedy, Sister Shi Gui is not blind, she has just looked at it." He turned his back and refused to listen, and he really looked down on his mother's action of rubbing oil: "When the girl doesn't reward us, why should my mother be sneaky." ”

Mrs. Liu raised her hand and was about to fight, but as soon as she shrank back, she took a cloth bag, made a face, and went out the back door to send something to her brother and sister-in-law.

The things on the car were empty, Shi Gui counted the accounts and was about to go in, Gao Jia wiped the sweat on his face, took out a cloth bag from the car, and stammered: "This, for you." ”

Shi Gui didn't know why, raised his eyes and looked at him, Gao Jia blushed: "You, the ...... in your courtyard" Before the words were finished, Shi Gui laughed first, knowing that it must be the light bamboo Shi Ju who brought it to him, lifted a corner of the cloth bag, and sure enough, it was Shi Ju's needlework, and nodded at Gao Jia: "Thank you." ”

Gao Jia is a stammer, can't go into the yard as an errand, relying on his father's decency, has been following the errands, and the people he sees outside are all men, even if his father is a steward, he has to mock him behind his back, saying that his father and mother have pulled out all the dexterity, and he is clumsy.

Gao Jia has only one cousin by his side since he was a child, but his cousin doesn't have to open his mouth, his own family can go from dawn to dark, he rarely speaks and is also said by his cousin, if it weren't for this time his father handed over this errand to him, I'm afraid that he won't talk to the young girls again.

Shi Gui took the things, led him into the house, and came out with the food, Gao Jia was eating, and Shi Gui asked, "What's the matter at home?"

Gao Jiacai also wanted to praise her for boiling crab sauce well, pulling two mouthfuls of rice, but she was embarrassed to say it, and only then did she ask: "The second young master is in high school." ”

Shi Gui originally wanted to inquire about Song Mian's affairs, as long as he returned to Jinling, he would send a letter no matter what, and his face was happy: "It's also a happy event, but you're back?"

Gao Jia didn't think about it, and replied after a while: "I'm back, it's been half a month." Shi Gui counted the days and should be back, her birthday has passed for more than half a month, Song Mian didn't find Qiu Niang, why didn't she send a letter.

I was in a hurry, and I wanted to see what Shi Ju had brought her, maybe there was a letter from Song Mian in it, several of them knew Shi Gui's trust, and they kept waiting for Gao Jia to finish eating and then sent him out, how do you know that Gao Jia speaks slowly, eats slowly, and has to open his mouth a few times, and can't help but listen to him, his heart is like being fried in an oil pot, and he is beating so hard that his palms are sweating, and his forehead is about to smoke.

It was easy for Gao Jia to leave, Shi Gui breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went straight to the inner courtyard, shaking the cloth bag given by Shi Ju to the ground, Ye Wenxin watched her turn the bed into a mess, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Inside is Shi Ju a few congratulatory gifts to Shi Gui, a few square handkerchiefs, a dress, taking Shi Ju's own reluctant to make clothes, magenta fine sprinkled with golden peach blossom pattern of the lero, is her reward for Ye's filial piety, pressed in the box has been reluctant to do, Danzhu also laughed at her that she was afraid that this horse would be kept until marriage, but she didn't think that she made a skirt for Shi Gui.

Ye Wenxin praised it when he saw it: "This is sent by the sisters in your courtyard?"

"What's the matter?" Ye Wenxin became worried, and pulled Shi Gui's sleeve: "What's the matter, you tell me, let's think of a way together." ”

Shi Gui put down her skirt Luo Aya, rummaged for a long time, and didn't see a word, Shi Ju knew that she was most concerned about this matter, but whenever there was a little news, she would think of a way to send it, that is, Song Mian didn't go to them.

Ye Wenxin saw that Shi Gui's face was pale, reached out and hugged her, helped her sit on the edge of the bed, rubbed her back with one hand, and held her tightly with the other: "What the hell?"

Shi Gui reluctantly tugged at the corners of his mouth, wanting to pull out a smile: "I asked someone to go back to find the news of my parents, and I should have sent a letter, but I never came." ”

Ye Wenxin closed her mouth and didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he hooked her with his two hands: "Don't be anxious, the mountains and rivers are far away, maybe there is a delay on the road, that is, when you come back, there are always some miscellaneous things, let's just wait." ”

Shi Gui didn't think about it in her heart, Ye Wenxin comforted her like this, and she followed the snack: "Yes, whether the young master Tang is in the middle or not, the old lady and the teacher at the other end must have an explanation, if he wins, he has to invite a banquet, and those on the same list have to socialize, always ...... There's always some delay. ”

Ye Wenxin immediately nodded in agreement, nodded before he came back to his senses, Shi Gui actually asked Song Mian to inquire about the news, looked at her with his eyes, and stopped talking, and turned out things: "Look, they are thinking of you, how much effort does it take to do it so carefully." ”

Shi Ju gave her a skirt, Danzhu gave her a green pinched cardigan, Grape gave her a pair of silver bracelets, which were engraved with osmanthus patterns, and the three of them also worked together to make a pair of shoes, which were also green and embroidered with a few small yellow flowers underneath.

The nose is sore, the eyes are red, out for a long time, but I think of the grapes, the old year's birthday is still with them, the grapes light bamboo chrysanthemum is a bunch of things, red and white soft pomegranates, red gauze watermelon, black jade bead grapes, full of plates, and grapes made by themselves, pinched a sharp tip on the steamed bun, and the red is considered a longevity peach.

This year, I can no longer gather under the wisteria flower shelf to eat and clink glasses, Shi Gui thought for a while, leaning on Ye Wenxin, and then felt better: "My father and mother will definitely bring my younger brother to me." ”

Ye Wenxin shook her hand: "Naturally." ”

Gao Jia drove back, slowly rubbing and still wanted to say something, but when he turned around, Shi Gui was no longer by the door, and he was a little lost in his heart, so he went back with a drooping face, handed the letter in, and told the Ye family that everything on the head of the village was fine.

He couldn't enter Ye's yard, Chunyan and Xing also reached the age and did not come to the outer courtyard, Chunyan sent Shi Ju, Shi Ju waited on the second gate, saw Gao Jia, and took two steps up: "Gao family's eldest brother ......"

I just wanted to ask if I had given something, but Jin Li came up later, and when I heard this sentence, my face darkened, and I pulled my cousin Gaojia and my cousin short, and I couldn't stop squeaking like a magpie.

Shi Ju simply waited under the porch, afraid of asking something, so that Jinli would know, according to her temperament, she had to shout about it, and finally avoided Jinli and handed it to Gao Jia, and I didn't know if Shi Gui received it.

Jin Li talked to Gao Jia while looking at the oblique stone chrysanthemum, and she couldn't wait to smack her in her heart, scolding her for being shameless, and even called the eldest brother of the Gao family, seeing that she didn't leave, she reflexively stabbed her: "What are you still doing while sitting, what else do you and my cousin have to say?"

Gao Jia knew that he was rude, and his face flushed, he was already shy, the meaning in these words was not good, he and Shi Ju really had no friendship, they had met twice, and they were carried by her to send things to the other garden, and there was nothing else to say, and it fell into Jinli's mouth, and it became two something.

Shi Ju didn't scare her at all, her fingertips tightened slightly, her face was as usual, and she smiled and said: "Sister Chunyan sent me on an errand, if you have urgent matters, you will finish talking first, and when I ask what I should ask, I have to go in and reply." ”

Jin Li's face turned red, but Gao Jia pulled her and bluffed: "Don't mess around!" He stammered on weekdays, but this was said smoothly, Jin Li became more and more angry, and his eyes were red: "I'll tell Aunt Sù to go." ”

Saying that, he stomped his feet and ran away, ran through a corridor, slowed down his pace and looked back, but no one came to chase him, Gao Jia was still with Shi Ju, his heart became more and more panicked, his nose wrinkled and cried, he really went to Gao Shengjia to complain.

Shi Ju hurriedly asked him: "Does she have something?" The important thing is Shi Gui, the light bamboo grape is still as if she was punished, and the grape also said that he asked for a request for the eldest young master, only Shi Ju guessed in his heart, except for Gao Jia, there was no one to say.

Gao Jia only wanted to pay for it, Shi Ju waved his hand: "It's okay, she has always looked good?"

Gao Jia really didn't see anything from Shi Gui's face, but Shi Ju knew that she still had something on her mind, but she hadn't taken the opportunity to find Song Mian, so she couldn't help frowning and sighing for Shi Gui.

The two of them went back and forth, and unconsciously said a lot of things, each with their own thoughts, and went to work on an errand again, Shi Ju went back to tell Sù Chunyan Grange that everything was in order, Chunyan nodded, saw that her face was not visible, and nodded: "You go." "This girl is indeed right, she can bring it up and take charge of herself.

Song Mian had a banquet on three days and a banquet on the fifth day, ate a concubine, saw everything he had never seen before, clinked glasses and changed lamps, and recognized many people behind Song Jingtang, he was young and famous, although he was an orphan without father and mother, but he was a relative of the old lady Song, and there were more people than Song Jingtang asked.

Song Mian listened to the letter, he was speechless for a long time, this time he no longer hesitated, avoided Qingyu, and went out of the city to the Song family's garden.
