Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Long Talk
Unable to withstand the soft grinding and hard bubbles, A-Yao was defeated by Pei Shuo's beauty again, nodded and promised to stay in the Pei family's courtyard to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with Pei Shuo in the past few days. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"But I'm going to go back and talk to Mr. Mochizuki, so that she won't be worried, and I'll go back to dinner with her at noon, and come back to you in the evening." ”
Boss Pei Shuo was unhappy and pouted: "I'll let Honeysuckle send some moon cakes over, just explain, why go back in person." ”
"Mr. Mochizuki must be worried that he doesn't know that I'm not going back. Yao said.
Pei Shuo reluctantly agreed, but he must not give in during the meal time, and must let Ah Yao's two Mid-Autumn Festival meals be eaten in Pei's mansion.
"Either I'll go back at noon and accompany you at night, or I'll accompany you at noon and I'll go back at night, you choose. ”
"There are celebrations in Jiangliu County around the Mid-Autumn Festival, I plan to call you to go together, there are a lot of delicious and fun over there......"
"Really?"
When the beauty is the head, and there is fun, Ah Yao agreed in a daze like a chicken pecking rice.
Back at Mochizuki's house, she explained to Mochizuki, Mochizuki glanced at Pei Shuo, waved her hand to have fun, and let the bird's nest send the two away, she bit the handkerchief and said, "I'll just say, apprentices are like meat buns beating dogs." ”
There is no return.
Bird's nest silently completes the second half of the sentence.
"Girl, your metaphor is really interesting, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, why don't we add a few lanterns in the courtyard to meet the occasion, I see that the ingots sold on the street are doing well, and there are more lamps every year......"
Mochizuki was still thinking about the layout of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Pei Shuo was also interested in discussing it with A-Yao, and finally said that he would buy lanterns first, hang them in the courtyard and under the corridor, and paste the lantern riddles.
"The osmanthus in the Sanqiu Guizi Garden is growing just right, and at noon hit the osmanthus and asked Aunt Huan to make osmanthus candy, and at night it was simply where to do the lantern riddle. The more Pei Shuo thought about it, the more he felt good, and invited Honeysuckle to order: "Honeysuckle, you ask people to buy lanterns, and buy whatever you like." It doesn't matter how much you buy, there is a place to hang in the other courtyard. ”
"Thank you, young master!"
Ah Yao thought of doing a handicraft to meet the occasion, she had done it in her previous life, and she still had to try it in this life.
"What are you thinking?" snickered. ”
She was thinking about things, Pei Shuo was looking at her, and a word floated through her mind, looking forward to the brilliance, A-Yao's eyes were very smart,
When she turned, she was full of energy, and she must have thought of fun and interesting things, and she smiled when she looked at her.
"Don't tell you, I'm tired, go back to my room and rest, don't disturb me. Ah Yao put her hands behind her back, checked every step she took, and went back happily.
The Lotus Courtyard has a new look, A-Yao stood at the door and opened her mouth, the room is still the same room, but it feels different.
Gao Ji offered bergamot citrus, into the house smelled bursts of fruity fragrance, to the side of the bed, set up an extra painting of the green landscape of the bed screen, the curtain behind the bed screen also changed a little, really like smoke of light yarn replaced by satin. Under the west window, on the piano brick, there is a bag of yaoqin.
"It's changed a lot. She ran in, opened the bed screen to look carefully, and then got into the bed, and there were hollow incense balls hanging in the four corners of the curtain, and the sweet fragrance escaped from the hollow incense balls, which smelled good and made people sleepy.
She rubbed her eyes, waited for her to wipe her hands and wash her face, and then changed her clothes and went to the bed to take a nap.
Shaocui Shengxiang looked around for a moment, and she pulled Shengxiang to the other side: "You take care of the girl here, I'll go and talk to Bai Yun's girl about the rules." ”
Sheng Xiang gave her an idea: "We are the people of the eldest young master, it is easy to leave a handle if we make a rash move, just leave it to Mama Xu, the maids who are new to the other courtyard have to be trained by her, Bai Yun came in and became a second-class maid, and she is foreign, and she doesn't understand the rules at all, so it is most suitable to hand it over to her." I remember, Mama Xu likes 'Dongting Early Red', didn't the young master divide a few of us before, I still have a few here, you take it. ”
"Dongting Red" is a famous product in citrus, produced in Dongting East and West Mountain, which is divided into "early red" and "material red", "early red" has a small yield, when it is ripe, especially in the sunshine, it is more like a tree on fire, red and gorgeous, less juice and sweet taste.
Shake Cui is not polite to Shengxiang.
The two of them made up five "Dongting Early Red" mandarins, and the colorful yarns were woven into a net bag and packed for Shaocui to take away.
Ah Yao slept until she woke up naturally, pushed open the bed screen, and the light shining into the room didn't seem to change much, and the fragrance was on the table
Talking about the movement, she put down the things in her hand and greeted her, while dressing Ah Yao: "Slept enough?"
"Well, Sister Shengxiang, I want bamboo strips. ”
Thanks to A-Yao's return, Pei Shuo saw that everything was pleasing to the eye, and when he heard that A-Yao was taking a nap, he thought about it, and first finished writing the strategy poem arranged by Mr. in the grass hall.
After the draft was completed, Yu found halfway through the writing that the shadow of the shadow on his hand obscured most of the area on the rice paper, and the tulle of the window lattice penetrated the orange afterglow, and it turned out that it was already dusk before he knew it.
"Look at me, I've forgotten all about time. ”
But he was proud of his thoughts, put down his pen, and walked towards the lotus courtyard.
Pei Xingzhi went out to visit the division commander early in the morning before leaving, and went home away from the sunset, but he didn't expect to hear an unpleasant news from the little girl: "Jiang Yao is back again?"
It's so decent, how did it come back again.
Pei Xingzhi's face was cloudy, he pursed his lips, and asked where the meal was served, and the little man said that the eldest young master let him eat alone in the room.
"So I still don't like Jiang Yao. I have worked hard to get to this point, how can I easily let you be ruined. He whispered, turned back to the little servant and said, "Let's go, let's go to the lotus house and eat rice." ”
Urging Hospital.
It was completely dark, and the moon was struggling toward the disk.
In the room, Ah Yao swept left and right, sighing in her heart, men and women are seven years old at different seats, is it really okay for you two brothers to ignore it again and again?
However, no matter who looks at it, he doesn't think that Ayao is over seven years old, Pei Xingzhi doesn't care, Pei Shuo doesn't say it, he already treats her as a personal property in his heart, so naturally he doesn't have this level of exquisiteness.
On the left is Pei Shuo, with a black face and a new moon on his forehead, there will be a ready-made Bao Gong, on the contrary, on his right, Pei Xingzhi, who raised his eyebrows and provoked Pei Shuo from time to time.
Bear children must have the consciousness of bear children, and they will definitely be beaten after provocation.
"Can you start the meal?" Ah Yao interrupted their affectionate look, the host couldn't afford chopsticks, and it was not good for her to eat first as a guest.
"Eat, eat, Xiao Yao'er eat more, see how thin you are. Pei Xingzhi used chopsticks to diligently put vegetables into her bowl.
"......" Ah Yao's goosebumps rose, and she hurriedly moved the bowl, but Pei Shuo, who was eating, caught the bowl with chopsticks and piled them up. "No need, thank you, you can eat with chopsticks. ”
What the hell are these two brothers doing.
She shrunk into a quail and guarded her bowl, for fear that one of them would put a chopstick in her bowl again.
Pei Xingzhi didn't know what the purpose was, but obviously, he successfully provoked Pei Shuo's anger, and Pei Shuo also learned from him to put vegetables in her bowl, the difference is that some of the dishes Pei Xingzhi sandwiched she didn't like to eat, and the dishes that Pei Shuo gave her were all dishes she liked to eat.
It's better for Pei Shuo.
As they were about to finish eating, a woman's cry came from outside, and the three of them put down the bowl together.
Shaocui had already walked out and drank, "What are you doing?"
The two maids stopped a little maid with a cloak, the light of the lantern hit her face, and Shao Cui could see clearly that it was Bai Yun.
"Miss Bai Yun, you are ......"
"I want to see my young master. Bai Yuntong's eyes were red.
"Unfortunately, the two young masters are dining, you are noisy, you don't understand this rule?"
Bai Yun raised her head, "I'm the second young master's maid, I don't need you to care, let go, I want to go in to see the second young master." ”
Pei Xingzhi put down the chopsticks, the chopsticks and the porcelain bowl made a crisp sound, A-Yao and Pei Shuo looked at him together, Pei Xingzhi didn't see any shame on his face, "Lose your company." ”
In the courtyard, Bai Yun saw Pei Xingzhi and burst into tears: "Second young master, they bullied me." ”
Pei Xingzhi glanced at it, "Who is responsible for disciplining the maid, take it back, send it over after the training is done, what kind of system will it be!"
"Second Young Master......" Bai Yun was really stunned, her eyes widened, and her tears stopped rolling in fright.
The rich mother-in-law who got out of the crowd and saluted Pei Xingzhi: "The old body is Mama Xu, responsible for the etiquette of the maid who has just entered the courtyard, Miss Bai Yun has just entered the mansion, and her personality is inevitably stubborn, which alarmed the two young masters, and the cheap hooves are not ready to apologize to the second young master and the eldest young master and the guest inside?"
Bai Yun hasn't come back to her senses yet, obviously Pei Xingzhi was very good to her before, this Mama Xu didn't know where she came from, grabbed her and called her training etiquette, and actually tossed her desperately, and finally ran out, and the second young master's attitude changed 180 degrees.
Seeing that she didn't apologize, Mama Xu twisted the soft flesh on her arm.
"Ahh
Pei Xingzhi covered his ears, "It's so noisy." ”
Pei Xingzhi's words could still be heard in the pain, Bai Yun immediately stopped howling, choked and held the place where her arm was pinched, she couldn't lose Pei Xingzhi's support, those girls in the courtyard who tended to be inflammatory, and Jiang Yao, were waiting to see her jokes.
Endure.
You have to endure it.
She wiped away her tears, apologized to Pei Xingzhi and the people inside, and lowered her eyebrows and said to Mama Xu: "Mama, Yun'er is ignorant and has caused you trouble." ”
Mama Xu seemed to be smiling, and there was still a little smug between her eyebrows, "It's good to know, don't go back with me." ”
"Yes. Second young master, Yun'er retired. ”
Bai Yun followed Mama Xu and walked obediently, Pei Xingzhi rubbed her chin, she could bend and stretch, this girl could cultivate one or two.
When he turned around, he found that the table had been cleaned up.
Pei Shuo seemed to understand his inner thoughts: "We have all eaten, you haven't come back yet, and the food is cold, so you make the decision to let the maid pack up and send it to the kitchen, and you still want to eat to make the kitchen hot again." ”
"Okay, big brother. Are you making lanterns?"
But no, the table is full of smooth and burr-free bamboo strips, as well as boiled glutinous rice pulp, rice paper that has been cut a few times, tassels, looking at the outline of A-Yao's tie-up, where can I guess what they are going to do.
Pei Shuo responded: "Yes, Xingzhi, do you want to make lanterns together?"
He still looked at the weaving in Ah Yao's hands, lowered his head to get it, he was always embarrassed, he didn't do it right, and after a few more looks, he found that she had been tied up like the outer outline of the lantern of the rice ball.
"A-Yao, slow down. ”
"Don't worry, I haven't made a lantern for a long time, and I don't remember the specific steps, make one first, and if it is done, I will teach you. As she spoke, she didn't stop with her hands, tied the outline, and had to paste it.
"Hehe, big brother, you forgot, I'll leave tomorrow and spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my parents. He deliberately sprinkled salt and poked a knife in Pei Shuo's heart, knowing that he couldn't go back, but he wanted to say so.
It's a pity that he performed in vain-
"Your hands are all poked, the next work, you said I paste, let's not do this lantern after we finish it, anyway, Honeysuckle bought a lot, let's see one and throw one. ”
"What a waste, how beautiful it looks when it hangs. ”
"Okay, I'll listen to you. ”
"After doing this, I will make you a paper lantern, the paper lantern will not use bamboo strips, the method is also very simple, when the time comes, you mention one, I mention one, this lantern will be hung. ”
Pei Shuo and Ah Yao, you say a word, the two of them know that Pei Xing is air, if there is no one else, naturally, he didn't hear what he said.
Just as he wanted to reiterate, the elusive Pei Bu stood behind him and reminded: "Second Shao, it's late at night, you should go back and rest." ”
"Okay, big brother, I'll go back first, and you can rest early. ”
Pei Shuo didn't raise his head, and continued to ask A-Yao what he was doing.
After the others left, Ah Yao Yuguang raised his head and poked Pei Shuo with his elbow: "People are leaving, don't pretend, I know you heard what he said just now, now you can tell me what's going on, you are angry with me because of this?"
In her personal experience, people who have a full stomach encounter setbacks or problems when they encounter setbacks or problems, and they are less angry than people who are hungry, and their mood is relatively optimistic.
She sat upright, looking like she was going to have a long talk with Pei Shuo, and of course, before listening to the story, she diligently poured tea for Pei Shuo to moisten her throat.
"As he said, he went back to the capital for the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I continued to stay in the other courtyard, and I didn't have to go back. ”
"You don't have to go back, what do you mean, your father won't let you go back?" Ah Yao asked, "The story doesn't have a beginning and no end, you tell me about it, how uncomfortable it is to hold it alone, and it will be much more comfortable to say it." ”
"But doesn't the one who listens become the uncomfortable one?" he asked rhetorically.
"This ......" Ah Yao touched her nose, "Oops, you don't care about this." ”
Pei Shuo was silent for a long time, she began to doze off, and then she heard a deep voice talking, she quickly pinched her thigh, cheered up and listened.
The young man has not changed his voice, no matter how low it is, there is a vigorous and upward tone in it, but this will remind him of the time with his mother, dyed with a bit of sadness, his mother died of illness and he kept filial piety for three years, and the three years were like vicissitudes.
He was the last to know about his father's succession.
