It was still early on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it was pitch black. [ads:This site has a new URL,Shorthand method:,.] All the people were moving.

The servants were busy tidying up the reception, and the ground was spotlessly cleaned. The verandah is filled with flowers of all colors, and the fragrance is overflowing.

The hosts were busy dressing up, especially the hostesses, each wearing gold and silver, with flying skirts, as if they wanted to be more delicate than flowers.

"Miss, are you wearing this?" Lixia brought in four sets of new clothes for Ying Qi early in the morning, and then the first thing she chose was a bright red peony skirt.

"This one is like a blessing doll. Xueyun said from the side.

"No, this one is too bright. Today is the protagonist of the eldest aunt's side, wearing a lighter outfit. Ying Qi immediately ruled out the dress.

She rummaged through several sets of skirts and chose a pleated skirt in lake blue. "Let's do this. Neither too light nor too glamorous. Today I happened to go to Jingxiu Lake, and it was also accompanied by scenery. ”

Lixia took the pleated skirt and put it on for Yingqi. Then she brought her head and face, and Ying Qi chose the set of Dongzhu, the white Dongzhu was crystal clear, and it was matched with a clear blue tone.

"I don't want a necklace. Just wear a collar today. Ying Qi remembered that Xiaobao might come, so it was better to only wear a jade pendant. She wears it inside on weekdays, and because she wears other jewelry, she basically can't see that she still has a green jade pendant with a collar.

After everything was packed, Ying Qi asked Lixia to pack up the embroidery for her eldest aunt and walked towards the old lady's courtyard.

By the time they arrived, several cousins and cousins had already arrived, and after greeting each other, they waited for a while, except for the eldest aunt and Ge Fuhe.

Geffoh is busy directing the overall situation, and the protagonist has long been dismissed by the old lady.

"After breakfast, go and entertain your friends. Then you can go directly to Jingxiu Lake. At noon, we will pay homage to the eldest lady for her birthday. "The old lady is wearing a bright red golden peony cheongsam today, and she looks very rich and compelling.

"Yes, Ancestor. Everyone happily agreed, and it seemed that they had invited their fox friends and girlfriends.

At that time, the outside of the house began to be lively, and people with excellent connections had already begun to come to the door.

"Lord Guanglu and his wife are here!"

"The Admiral has arrived!"

"The Senator and his wife are here!"

"Lord Squire is here with his son!"

"Mrs. Shangshu has arrived with her daughter!"

"The general's wife has arrived with her daughter!"

Some of the more distinguished guests don't come until after noon. Like a royal palace or something.

"Sister Qi, let's go over together later, okay?" Wu Yajieyu stepped forward and took Ying Qi's hand.

"Okay. Ying Qi knew that it must be Wu Ya Jieyu who was worried about her alone, and she was not familiar with everyone.

The two returned to Biqiang Garden together.

The two were talking for a while when a little maid came in. "Second Miss, Miss Zhou is here. ”

"Sister Lu Yao is here, let's go over quickly. Wu Yajieyu immediately got up. After a pause, he turned back to Ying Qi and explained, "Zhou Luyao's grandfather is Lord Zhou Pei, and her father Zhou Jiandi only has a daughter like her, so she is very favored, and she goes in and out of the minister's house on weekdays. ”

Zhou Peigong, Ying Qi was stunned for a moment, why did she suddenly hear such a famous name.

Zhou Peigong, Kangxi's important adviser, official to the Taoist platform, and the governor of Shengjing, was very favored by Kangxi. After his death, his son had also been promoted to the rank of servant.

As soon as she finished walking through the verandah of Biqiang Garden, a girl with a colorful peacock skirt had already walked over surrounded by a group of maids.

"Sister Yu, I'm not invited. "A soft, crunchy sound, like the chirping of a thrush.

"Sister Yao is a distinguished guest, so I can't invite you. There is a loss of distance, and there is a loss of distance. Wu Ya Jieyu stepped forward quickly.

"Sister Yu teased me again. Zhou Luyao gently took Wu Yajieyu's hand.

"Sister Yao, let me introduce you, this is my cousin, Sister Qi, who is five years old this year. Wu Ya Jieyu introduced Ying Qi to Zhou Luyao.

"That must be smaller than me. I'll call Sister Qi too. Sister Qi, you can just call me Sister Yao. ”

"Sister Yao. Ying Qi shouted as if she were kind.

"Come, call me sister, I have to give a meeting gift anyway. Zhou Luyao beckoned behind her, and a maidservant walked up with a silver plate in her hand.

Zhou Luyao took a bracelet of amber gold beads from it and handed it to Ying Qi.

"Sister Yao, how dare you do this. Ying Qi hurriedly refused.

"Since you call me sister, don't be so outside. Come, take it, I'm afraid you won't like it. Zhou Luyao stuffed it directly into her hand.

"Then, thank you, Sister Yao. Ying Qi took it. Then Xueyun stepped forward, and Yingqi handed it to her.

So the three of them walked while talking, and entered the Biqiang Garden.

It was close to noon, and a maid came to inform the three of them that they had gone to Jingxiu Lake for dinner.

Surrounded by a group of maids, everyone came to Jingxiu Lake. The feast was set, and everyone was seated.

The normal birthday salute does not start until the unitary hour, but in the afternoon the troupe will start singing.

After finishing the meal, everyone moved to the stage next to them.

"I'm not interested in that. What about you?" Zhou Luyao said hello to her mother, and then returned to them.

"Then what do you want to play?" It seems that Wu Yajieyu is very accommodating to her.

"Why don't we go fishing? I remember your brother has a fishing rod. Zhou Luyao's eyes were shining, as if she remembered the past.

"Last time, you dropped your second brother's fishing rod into the lake, and this time you want to play again?" Wu Yajieyu had a headache.

"Oh, you just said that Sister Qi wants to play. What's so good about this singing? Sister Qi, do you like to listen to operas?" Zhou Luyao blinked and looked at Ying Qi.

"Generally, you can listen to it, or you can't listen to it. It's okay to accompany Sister Yao to go fishing. I haven't fished yet. Ying Qi was very modest, Xue Yun thought to herself, Miss, don't talk about fishing, it's no problem to catch fish.

"Look, Sister Qi agreed. Go, go, go. Wu Ya Jieyu nodded, beckoned a little maid, and arranged to go to the second young master Wu Ya Dachun to borrow a fishing rod.

The three of them came to the Jinjin Pond next to Jingxiu Lake. The Golden Brocade Pond draws water from Jingxiu Lake, but a small pond is opened separately, and many koi fish are raised in it. Occasionally, a bush or two of blue lotus dotted with it.

When the three of them arrived, the maid had already prepared the fish food.

"Sister Qi, let's go feed them first and bring them over. Zhou Luyao took Ying Qi's hand and came to the pool.

She took the small dish of fish food, scooped a spoonful of fish food with a white porcelain soup spoon, and with a wave of her hand, it spilled into the pool.

A flock of golden koi immediately swarmed forward and competed for fish food.

"Here you come. Zhou Luyao handed the spoon to Ying Qi.

Ying Qi shrugged, took the spoon indifferently, and fed some fish food to the koi. After all, she was used to seeing it in her previous life, so there was nothing surprising about it. But here, it's the first time I've seen it. After all, she basically stayed in her yard except for greeting and studying.

I used to think that the ladies in ancient times slept until they woke up naturally, and they could play as much as they wanted. Catching butterflies, enjoying flowers, flying kites and so on. In fact, this is not the case at all, and the time is arranged slowly every day, and there is not much leisure time at all. It is only at night when I go back to my yard that I have time to rest.

After a while, three fishing rods arrived.

"Come on, this is fun. Zhou Luyao recommended it to Yingqi.

Ying Qi took a fishing rod, and a little maid came to her to carefully pull the fishing line away, and then put the fish food on the hook.

"Okay, throw it away!" Zhou Luyao waved lightly and threw the fishing line into the fish pond. Then Ying Qi and Wu Ya Jieyu also threw the fishing line into the fish pond.

"Quiet, we can't talk anymore. The crowd fell silent.

Looking at the fishing line in the fish pond, everyone was attentive.

"Eat, eat, eat. Suddenly, Yingqi's fishing line moved. Zhou Luyao found out for the first time. Ying Qi's hands trembled, it was not good for her to catch fish before Zhou Luyao.

With this move, the fish naturally ran away.

"Oops, what a pity. Sister Qi, when the fish is biting the fish food, you can't move, as soon as it moves, it will run away. It has to wait for a little more bite and swallow all the food before it can catch it. Zhou Luyao hurriedly educated Yingqi.

"Well, no wonder it ran away. I'll pay attention next time. Ying Qi looked at Zhou Luyao innocently, pouting, and showing pity.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll be able to catch it in a while. Oops, mine took the bait. Zhou Luyao was comforting Ying Qi, and suddenly found that her fishing rod was sinking, and she immediately lifted the fishing rod. Sure enough, I easily caught a small brocade fish.

"Miss, you are so amazing!" Zhou Luyao's maids praised her for the first time.

"Sister Yao, I can't see it, you've become powerful. Wu Yajieyu also praised.

"Sister Yao is amazing!" Ying Qi also echoed.

"Of course, I'll go back and practice. Just to shock you today. Zhou Luyao said with a smile.

"It's a matter of luck. Let's compare. Wu Yajieyu pretended to be unconvinced and said.

"Compare is compare. Who is afraid of whom. Zhou Luyao directly despised her.

"Hehe!" Ying Qi also nodded in a lively manner. The three of them began to fish in earnest.
