I realized that I had done something bad and didn't dare to look at Wei Huan, so I pushed open the window and pretended to be looking outside. Wei Huan didn't move for a long time. We sat quietly to the sound of wheels, not speaking to each other. The car turned the road and slowed down into the alley, and as if she remembered something, she came to me and rummaged through the box at hand. I heard the voice, turned around curiously, pretended to touch her casually, and naturally put my hand on her arm, and asked, "Looking for what?"

Wei Huan didn't answer, only found a silk flower from the box, and came over to put a hairpin on my head, it was a light purple peony, not as expensive as common in the palace, because it was purple, but it was not cold at all. I strained myself and let her put the flower on my head, and waited for her to leave for a long time before I asked her, "What... "Does she like me? Or doesn't she like me? Why do you suddenly have to do such an intimate gesture? I don't have a big problem with my outfit today?" I hate not to look twice before going out. Maybe it's because she messed up her hair during the fight, so she pretended to be a hairpin for me, but in fact, she cut my hair for me? But usually she is directly for me, she often serves in close quarters, and the reasoning shouldn't be so restrained, just pull it together for me?

Wei Huan bent down and stood and glanced at me, and said, "Coming to visit people, although it is not good to dress red, it is too plain and unlucky after all, and it is much better to wear a flower." ”

I knew what was going on, but I was a little disappointed, so after thinking about it, I smiled at her and said, "You are also dressed plainly, and you also wear one." Without waiting for her to have a chance to refuse, she directly grabbed a shallow crimson peony from the box, and pressed her to the seat with one hand: "You sit down, I'll put it on you." ”

She resisted a little and complied, sat upright, hung her head slightly, pulled her hair together, and exposed the side of the right ear, I saw that one of her ears was delicate and small, like a jade carving, and couldn't help but pluck it, she suddenly even turned her earlobes red, raised her head to look at me, and lowered her head and said: "It's almost there, don't just care about playing tricks on people." ”

I said, "It's not a joke, it's that I see that you have pierced ears, why don't you wear jewelry?"

She said, "I can't get used to that." ”

I sighed, thinking about how to give her a pair of earrings, my hand trembling to her head to arrange flowers, inserted a few times before entering, and looked at it several times, tuned back and forth, but found that no matter where the flowers were, they were very suitable for her, she bowed her head impatiently, urging me: "Okay?"

I said, "Okay." ”

She took out the mirror from the box again, looked at it for a while, frowned, and said, "Is it crooked?"

I looked at it again and found that it was indeed crooked, and said, "It's crooked, but it's pretty good." I was afraid that she would be unhappy, so I wanted to reach out to help her again, but she took the mirror and said with a smile: "The lady thinks it looks good, so that's it." Just then the car stopped, and we went down together.

Cui Mingde's father had already taken her to stand at the door to greet us, I saw her wearing a light scarlet, pleated skirt full of embroidered peach blossoms, knowing that the Cui family lady was fine, so he smiled at her, Cui Mingde and I met the ceremony, greetings and then retired, only a few of our little ladies are there, I am not so restrained, holding Cui Mingde and laughing: "Erniang, long time no see." ”

Cui Mingde smiled at me, and said generously: "Long time no see, Erniang is okay?" and looked at Wei Huan again: "Wei Siniang is okay?"

I had a good impression of her a little more, with Cui Mingde in one hand and Wei Huan in the other, I went in from the door, asked a few words about the lady of the Cui family, and said: "I don't know if it's inconvenient to meet Mrs. ”

Cui Mingde said: "Mother's body is much better, it's okay." "Led us through the main hall and towards a courtyard behind, I wondered, "Why don't you stay in front?"

Cui Mingde said: "This is the eldest father's house, and the main hall is reserved for the eldest father and eldest mother to live. ”

I know the rules of the clan, the main hall is empty for the patriarch, follow Cui Mingde around to the back, and from a distance, I saw Mrs. Cui neatly dressed and many servants and maids standing outside the courtyard, bluffed, and said: "On such a hot day, Mrs. is not well, don't come out, if it is hot, it is my sin." "I was busy asking the maid to help Mrs. Cui in, but she insisted on saluting me, and after seeing each other, she was carried in by the maid.

There are already tea, wine and fruit spots inside, and there are a few people who fan the wind with big fans, which is much more comfortable than the cold people in the palace who want to wear jackets.

Cui Mingde and her mother are a little similar, both are extremely thin, extremely white figures, Mrs. Cui at a glance knows that she is not a smiling person, words and deeds are very upright, people are sick, and in the inner house, but they do not want to relax in the slightest, please me to take a seat, I invited a few times, before sitting down next to me, Cui Mingde stood straight next to her mother, the mother and daughter even the smile on their faces seemed to be squeezed out at an angle, looking friendly and distant.

I haven't seen my classmates for a long time, I have a stomach to say, but I was looked at by Mrs. Cui like this, but I couldn't say a word, so I had to ask a few serious words about the condition, and asked what medicine to take, where to test, whether there is anything that needs help, and ordered someone to send a gift list - I was going to come to the door as a classmate and confidant, and the gifts prepared were all daily things, and I was a little empty at this time, afraid that Mrs. Cui would dislike the gift badly, but she politely took it. Thank you, sit for a while, say that it is uncomfortable, confess to me, and order Cui Mingde to entertain me to play in the garden, I wish she was like this, got up and left, was glanced at by Wei Huan, only to slow down, hypocritically said a few words, Mrs. Cui sent me out of the door slowly, to the garden, unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, afraid that Cui Mingde laughed, hurriedly looked back at her, Cui Mingde as if he didn't see it, holding a feather fan in his hand and slowly fanning the wind, introduced to me: "Although this pavilion is not high, the flower appreciation is good, and it is very cool on it, Erniang, If Siniang is interested, you can follow me to take a look. ”

Wei Huan and I followed her up from the rockery, and sure enough, it was cool and breezy and we sat very comfortably. I saw that there was a piano stand in this pavilion and asked her, "Erniang often plays the piano here?"

Cui Mingde said: "It's just done occasionally." Cui Mingde invited the two of us to sit next to him and play lightly, but listening to the sound of the piano is clear, there seems to be the sound of flowing water, but I don't know what the song is. I looked at Wei Huan, Wei Huan moved his head to me, leaned into my ear and said, "It's "Welcome Music", which is often played at banquets outside." ”

I smiled and said, "This song is very good, why don't you play it in the palace?"

Wei Huan glanced at me with a smile and said, "There are only servants in the palace, how can there be guests." But I saw Cui Mingde on the other side looking up at us intentionally or unintentionally, I thought she thought she thought we were noisy, and she was busy listening to the piano, but I saw that Cui Mingde was still glancing at this side, and that look was not like her usual, when I looked back, I saw Dugu Shao striding towards this with a light purple skirt, a few steps to the top, flicked the skirt, and gave it to us: "Erniang, Siniang." He bowed his hand to Cui Mingde again: "Cui Er." ”

Cui Mingde was clearly still looking at her, but he ignored it, and went to play the piano intently, Dugu Shao didn't see outside, sat down by himself, and smiled at me: "I just saw the carriage and horses outside the door, and I wondered if Erniang was here, but I didn't expect it to be true." It's been months since we last said goodbye, and Erniang is okay lately, how about we go horseback riding outside the city together?"

I like her informality, and I also bowed back, and said with a smile: "Since Sixteen Niang said so, I will go back and wait for your words." I should have come to visit the Cui family lady a long time ago, but it was really cumbersome for me to go out once, for fear of alarming the Cui family, but it was not beautiful, so I came at this time. Seeing that the waiters did not hand her tea, he pushed his own tea over: "I haven't drunk it yet, you can use it first." ”

Dugu Shao glanced at Cui Mingde with a smile, at this time she had finished playing the song, got up, sat beside me, and quietly pushed the tea in front of me again. Her waiter brought a bowl of freshly brewed tea to Dugu Shao at this time, Dugu Shao bypassed Cui Mingde, picked up my tea bowl, drank it all, and said with a smile when he put it down: "It's very hot this day, borrow a bowl of herbal tea from Erniang and drink it, Erniang is not strange." ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay." As soon as Dugu Shao said it, he was a little thirsty and wanted to drink tea, but his bowl that was cold had already asked Dugu Shao to drink, so he didn't stretch out his hand.

Wei Huan gently poked my arm from behind, I looked back, but saw her push her tea up a little, and quietly changed my tea in front of herself, I saw her like this, but reluctant to drink this tea, reached out and took a piece of iced cold melon to eat - cold melon is the watermelon of my previous life, because of the cold, people called it cold melon, and now it is also a rare thing, it is in Cui's house, and it is also Mrs. Cui specially asked someone to get it, so there is this small plate, which has been placed for a long time, Cui Mingde, Dugu Shao and Wei Huan refused to move, I had to take a piece first, but they didn't move after eating, when I persuaded them, Dugu Shao said it was too sweet, Cui Mingde said he didn't love it, or Wei Huan was forced by me to stuff a piece in his hand, ate it in small bites, and said softly: "It's very sweet." ”

I think back to what it was like when the cold melons were divided in the palace last year, but I can't remember anything, but Wei Huan definitely didn't, after all, she even made a jacket in November, so when I thought about it, I felt heavy in my heart, the sweet cold melon felt tasteless, I took a sip of tea, Dugu Shao asked me: "Erniang will go back to the palace later, or go out for a walk? But did you go to Tianjin Bridge? There are a few good wine shops there." Cui Er's mouth is so picky, and he has praised the sentence 'clear', Erniang must try it. ”

Cui Mingde slowly turned his head and looked at her, Dugu Shao looked back at her with a smile, picked up the tea bowl with his hand, drank most of the warm tea, shook his head and said: "It's really hot this day, it's hard for you to wear so much, how can you stand it?"

I said, "We were going to go there, but Sixteen Niang said so, so it's better to go together." You don't need to drink, just go shopping together. Erniang, what do you think?"

Cui Mingde said: "My mother is not feeling well, so I won't go." ”

Dugu Shao said: "Erniang is difficult to come out, Cui Er, why are you twisting and pinching, your Cui family is so hospitable?"

Cui Mingde's face darkened, and he turned his head and said, "Shut up." Although she deliberately lowered her voice, Wei Huan and I both heard it, the two subconsciously glanced at each other, I have never seen any companion except Wei Huan have such a face, slightly worried asked Wei Huan with his eyes, Wei Huan is eyes are smiling, squeezing my eyes, and said with a smile: "It is difficult for the princess to get out of the palace, Erniang will accompany her out for a walk, I see that Cui Niangzi's face is very good now, Erniang will go out for a while, it must be fine." ”

How did I forget, Wei Huan doesn't seem to like Cui Mingde very much all along, Dugu Shao annoyed her, Wei Huan is too late to be happy, how can he be calm?

Dugu Shao saw Wei Huan open his mouth, and became more and more interested, pulling Cui Mingde's sleeve and said with a smile: "See, the princess also invites you, who has been reading love for many years, and will not accompany you to go around?" ”

Wei Huan stabbed me in the back again, it was very rare for her to ask me for something, I couldn't refuse, so I had to smile and say: "Erniang go together, just go for a while, presumably Ling Zun and Ling Ci will not blame." ”

Cui Mingde smiled and said: "Since it is an invitation from the princess, there is no reason to go away." Then he got up and commanded the chariots and horses, and beckoned us to come down. Dugu Shao was in the front, and when he stepped out of the pavilion first, Cui Mingde tilted his head slightly as if he didn't see her, and waited for Wei Huan and I to come out, and then followed us and walked out slowly. 166 Reading Network
