"Miss, Miss Nine is here. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Qiu Ju is outside.

Bai Qiyu said "um" and finished writing the words he was writing, then put down the brush in his hand and said, "Xiao Jiu." ”

Bai Jiuxiang glanced at the book on the table, and said unexpectedly, "Seventh sister, you actually like to write books?"

"It's just idle and has nothing to do, casually practice to pass the time. ”

Bai Qiyu cleaned his hands, and Qiushui cleaned up the table and served refreshments.

Bai Jiuxiang hugged the stove and sat down on the kang, "It's such beautiful snow outside, why doesn't Seventh Sister go out to play?"

"I went out to play for a while when I first got down, and there was already snow at this time, by the way, I made a new Changming incense, and I ordered it at the end of the New Year's dinner, so you can take some back and light it in the house at night." ”

Bai Jiuxiang took the long small box and said flatly, "Seventh Sister and Xin'er's sister-in-law come and go with each other, I'm afraid they have forgotten me, and Xin'er won't come to play with me......"

"It's all the daughter's house, how can it be so convenient to go out of the house, didn't I come here once in half a month. ”

"The fifth sister said that you are going to the capital after the New Year, and there will be no one to play with me at that time. ”

Bai Qiyu rubbed her head, "It's not that you won't come back, what do you want?" ”

"What's so funny, Seventh Sister just remember me......"

"Don't worry, whoever forgets no one will forget you, let's go, it's time to go to my mother. ”

At the beginning of Shen, I had to go to Lanjing Garden to greet Bai Yuntang and Mrs. Bai, and then go to the ancestral hall to worship my ancestors, of course, girls can't go, but in the Bai family, because there is no son, so, only Bai Yuntang can enter the ancestral hall, and the concubines and concubines are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and they can't participate in the sacrifice.

Bai Qiyu doesn't know what other families are like, but everyone like Baifu who has only one man, such a rule seems very weird, of course, this is not what Bai Qiyu should care about.

Bai Jiuxiang took Bai Qiyu's hand and went to the Orchid Garden together.

The lanterns of the house are colorful, and even the originally bare branches are tied with many colorful silk flowers, a lively scene, looking at the meaning of the New Year.

After the maid, when the two entered the house, Mrs. Bai was dressing up, wearing a brocade red and silver silk embroidered peony flower gilt gilt gown, Wen Hui deftly combed her peony bun with both hands, and took the hairpin of the gold carved phoenix ruby and inserted it, and the spontaneous dignified and noble atmosphere made Bai Qiyu also admire.

After asking for peace, he approached and said, "Mother's makeup today is really exquisite, otherwise, how about I add plum blossom makeup to my mother? ”

Madame Bai had long been accustomed to Bai Qiyu's initiative, especially in terms of makeup, and she also trusted her vision very much, so she nodded with a smile, "This is a new method you came up with again?"

Wen Hui stepped aside, and Bai Qiyu took the gold-painted rouge box on the table and said with a smile, "Isn't there an allusion to the plum makeup, and my daughter is also learning and selling now." ”

Mrs. Bai naturally didn't know the allusion to Luomei's makeup, so she just said that she read it in a book, so she didn't ask much, and closed her eyes and raised her forehead slightly.

Bai Qiyu took a thin red pen dipped in vermilion rouge and gently depicted it between Mrs. Bai's eyebrows, raised the pen and fell, drawing slowly and slowly, after a while, Bai Qiyu took the pen and said with a smile, "Mother, how about it?"

Madame Bai opened her eyes and looked in the mirror, the three petals were clustered together, which was very eye-catching, and she smiled happily, "It seems to be a suitable painting method for a young girl." ”

"Where, it's very appropriate for my mother to describe this, this kind of makeup is both dignified and chic, very suitable for big occasions, today is the New Year's Day, naturally just right!"

Mrs. Bai smiled casually, and Bai Jiuxiang also said, "Mother is so beautiful like this! Seventh sister, I want to paint too." ”

Madame Bai patted her on the head, "You'll be funny." ”

Bai Jiuxiang hugged Mrs. Bai's arm and coquettishly, "Mother, I also want to paint, you can ask Seventh Sister to draw one for me." ”

This kind of Bai Jiuxiang is not something that Bai Qiyu can parry, so he had to look at Mrs. Bai, and Mrs. Bai smiled, "The children are from all families, just draw an auspicious mole and be a little boy by Guanyin's side." ”

Bai Jiuxiang happily raised her little face and let Bai Qiyu draw her a small vermilion dot, but she also happily looked left and right in the mirror.

was joking, Bai Shihua and Bai Baozhu also came, and then Bai Wutong also entered the house, and each invited An to see the ceremony and laugh a few words, and Mrs. Bai asked the maid to call Bai Yuntang.

For this family, Bai Qiyu has never had a sense of belonging, not only because she is not the real Bai Qiyu, but also because the people in this family, the relationship and atmosphere in this family, these undoubtedly do not make her feel that this Baifu is a miscellaneous courtyard, but it seems that there are many families, each of them, guarding one side, the same is true of the young ladies, even the parents Bai Yuntang and Mrs. Bai......

Bai Yuntang, who was sitting high on the main seat, was wearing a royal blue robe embroidered with gold filigree core moire, which added a solemn luxury than usual, and Bai Qiyu also took a closer look and found that he was still a little similar to this cheap father, especially the full forehead and the high nose bridge, which could be regarded as inheriting some of his advantages.

On the two sides of the lower head sat Aunt Chang and Aunt Yang, Aunt Wu and Aunt Lan. Because it is the New Year's Festival, they are all different from the usual flowers, and they are all extravagant appearances.

According to the etiquette, the children have to bow to the elders before the sacrifice, Bai Qiyu doesn't understand this, but it doesn't prevent her from learning and selling, and followed Bai Shihua and a few people to complete this small ceremony with a clear eye.

Immediately, under the leadership of Bai Yuntang, a group of people went to the ancestral hall, of course, the female dependents were not allowed to enter, only Bai Yuntang was alone in the ancestral hall to worship, and the female dependents went to the main hall of the dinner to wait.

Bai Qiyu, who spent the New Year in this place for the first time, changed from the initial freshness to a deep loss, and he always looked silent when Bai Jiuxiang held hands.

finally got through to the dinner, Bai Yuntang gave a speech as usual, and everyone began to start.

The four aunts sat at the bottom, and above them were the six young ladies, and then the Baiyuntang couple who were in the main seat, with the principle of eating without saying anything, after drinking the pepper and cypress wine one by one, a sumptuous New Year's banquet began in silence and ended in silence......

Then it was the New Year's Eve, Bai Yuntang went to the study, and Mrs. Bai set up a card table and played finch cards with a few aunts.

Bai Qiyu looked boredly at Bai Shihua and the others who were playing with lanterns together, and couldn't help but sigh long in his heart, is this the New Year......?

Bai Qiyu walked to the corridor, listening to the laughter behind her, looking at the red lanterns gently swaying in the night wind, her heart was not as resentful and self-pitying as before, this strange and familiar festival made her homesick and missed her relatives even more...... I can't help but think of the sentence "living in two places, the heart is in one place", in the end, there is less sadness and more blessing......

There is no moon in the cold night, but at this time, I wish the people I love and miss are safe and happy......

The incense of Changming in the main hall is lingering, but it has been burning for two hours, and the mellow smell of ironing has seeped into the night and floated around, Bai Qiyu held the stove and walked along the garden road to Yitingxuan, and Qiushui also walked slowly by her side.

"Qiushui, is it the same in the past festivals?" Bai Qiyu said suddenly.

Qiushui replied, "It's not all, in the past, when the eldest lady, the second lady, and the third lady were not out of the cabinet, the house was much more lively...... The slave and maid didn't know very well, and when the slave and maid entered the mansion, the eldest lady and the second lady had already left the cabinet......"

The big red lantern on the corridor, coupled with the silence at this time, is not grandiose and festive, but it makes Bai Qiyu feel desolate, and there is a strange feeling in his heart for no reason, he can't tell the truth, but he is like a fish in his throat, unspeakably uncomfortable, Bai Qiyu sped up his pace and walked forward irritably, and Qiushui followed quickly.

When Bai Qiyu crossed the shore of the lake, he hesitated for a moment for some reason, raised his feet and stepped on, and went to the Liangyue Pavilion in the center of the lake.

Qiushui was surprised, "Miss, it's morning frost at this time, it's cold......"

Bai Qiyu ignored it, standing in the Liangyue Pavilion, looking at the railing, the inky lake reflected the red light, beautiful and quiet, but it was a little deeper than the usual lake light.

This prosperous mansion was completely wrapped in the enchanting night at this time, and it was completely impossible to see those open and secret battles, those honey-bellied swords, and those ugly true faces......

Bai Qiyu looked at the lake and found that a place on the other side of the lake was different from the brilliant lights in other places, there was no star light in that area, it was all pitch black, and he couldn't help but be surprised, "Qiushui, there, what is the place?"

Qiushui followed her gaze and frowned slightly, "That's the South Garden, an abandoned garden that has been sealed. ”

"When was it sealed?" Bai Qiyu wondered.

"I don't know exactly when the slave maid was, but it's been at least ten years, and the lady ordered it to be sealed, and no one is allowed to approach. It's desolate now. ”

Qiushui looked at the darkness, remembered the rumors between the subordinates, suddenly felt creepy, and stammered, "Little Miss...... We reply ...... Let's go back, here, it's so cold here......"

Bai Qiyu glanced at Qiushui strangely, the hot hand stove was obviously still in her arms, but seeing her frightened expression, he nodded and said, "Then let's go." ”

Then he glanced back at the dark South Garden, and then returned to Yiting Xuan with Qiushui.

Qiu Ju carried a lantern at the gate of the courtyard to greet her, and after entering the door, it was locked.

Bai Qiyu entered the room, took off the cloak and handed it to Qiu Ling, and then went to the inner room...... Qiu Ju then brought over the hot rice balls.

"Miss, you must be hungry, Gu's mother has been hot, just wait for Miss to come back." ”

"That's it, you can eat a little to fill your stomach. ”

"Miss, eat it while it's hot, the slaves and maids have all eaten it. Qiu Ju smiled.

Bai Qiyu nodded, "Then bring a bowl of Qiushui." ”

Qiu Ju went out in response.

Bai Qiyu summoned Qiushui again, "Do you know why Nanyuan was sealed?"

Qiu Ling and Qiu Shui looked at each other, but neither spoke.

"But what's inconvenient to say?" Bai Qiyu wondered.

Qiushui hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, Miss, it's just these things...... The slaves and maids don't know much, and the old people in the house know, and what the slaves and maids hear is not necessarily true......"

Qiu Ling also said, "Miss, the slave maid has only heard about it......

“...... The South Park was sealed because Aunt Xia in the house committed suicide by jumping into the well...... That well is in the South Park where Aunt Xia lives......"
