"Girl—"

The sound of stepping on the stagnant water gradually sounded in his ears, Cui Zhiwan couldn't help hiding the apricot blossoms in the palm of his hand, and turned around with Xie Yun, only to see the green mane holding an umbrella in one hand, and running over with an umbrella in the other hand with a smile, and as soon as he entered the pavilion, he quickly saluted, and then handed the bamboo and green silk umbrella in his left hand to Xie Yun's hand.

"Mr. Xie. ”

Xie Yun took it with a smile, and the green beard immediately turned around and walked towards Cui Zhiwan, and then urged: "Girl, let's go quickly, the main hall has already set up a meal, and the old man and wife are waiting." ”

Cui Zhiwan nodded when he heard this, and turned past the green beard to look at Xie Yun behind him and said, "Master Xie, please." ”

Xie Yun stepped forward in response, and the two walked out of the pavilion together, and the drizzle hit the umbrella and made a sound of "Xi Li, Li, Li-", and Cui Zhiwan could also feel that although Xie Yun in front of him was walking in front, he was always walking slowly, taking care of them behind him, thinking of this, she couldn't help but raise her head slightly, looking at the gentle and clear side face, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but have a little inexplicable smile.

At night, the rain outside the window seemed to be heavier, and the window "crackled-" sounded, and the banana leaves in front of the court were also bent over by the rain, and shook gently with the sound of the wind. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the green beard turned to look at his own girl, but saw that his girl was already out of her mind, and her delicate figure was wearing a layer of jade-colored bedclothes, and a faint green calyx around the neckline added a bit of tranquility to the girl. At this moment, a candle flame on the side of the desk swayed slightly with the wind, making layers of overlapping lamp shadows, and fell softly on the girl's cheeks, the girl held her cheeks in one hand, and held a book in the other, and her beautiful eyes looked at the book fixedly, but she was motionless, only with a gentle smile on her lips.

Surprised, the green man deliberately tiptoed forward, and when he looked down, he saw a pressed flat apricot blossom lying quietly on the book, as red as a beautiful face.

"Girl?"

The sound in his ears made Cui Zhiwan move slightly, his hand couldn't help shaking, the apricot blossom almost fell to the ground, raised his head, but saw the green mane's ignorant face staring at him, and said with great curiosity: "Girl, the slave maid still thinks you are reading some good story, what are you staring at this apricot blossom?"

Hearing this, Cui Zhiwan's face couldn't help but feel hot, raised his hand to close the scroll, and then said unhurriedly: "I'm thinking, tomorrow I will make this apricot blossom into an apricot blossom note." ”

Saying that, Cui Zhiwan was also interested, and turned to the green beard seriously: "Tomorrow, you and I will mash out the pulp and pick some apricot blossoms." ”

Hearing this, the green beard didn't ask any more questions, and immediately responded with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, the slave and maid remember." ”

At this moment, he heard the soft curtain beating, and Yuan, who was dressed in an amber gown, holding a round bun, and simple and simple ornaments, walked in with a smile.

"Say you are so happy, you can hear the laughter of the green beard outside the curtain. ”

Seeing this, Cui Zhiwan hurriedly put down the book, stood up, and bowed.

"Mother. ”

When Yuan called, the green beard stood up and personally stepped forward to help Yuan sit opposite the girl, and under Yuan's signal, Cui Zhiwan sat back again.

"The girl said that she would go with the slave to pick some apricot blossoms tomorrow to make apricot blossom notes. ”

Yuan Shi was slightly surprised when he heard this, glanced at the rain outside the window and said inexplicably: "It's raining outside, do you still want to go out to pick flowers?" Don't get wet, let's wait for the weather to be better before going." ”

Cui Zhiwan smiled when he heard the words and said: "Ah Wan is also interested, what my mother said, Ah Wan remembers." ”

Yuan Shi looked at the obedient girl in front of him and nodded with satisfaction, then looked at the green beard standing on the side and smiled gently: "Just now Fengchun, a few of their little girls still want to play with you, you can go now, you don't need to stand here." ”

The green mustache was originally young and active, but when she heard this, she immediately responded, looking at the figure of the little girl disappearing at the curtain, Cui Zhiwan knew that her mother had something to say to herself, so she didn't ask much, just waited silently.

The candle flame in the house shook slightly, quiet without a sound, Yuan quietly looked at the young girl in front of her, at this moment she suddenly realized that her own Ah Wan is really old, and now at this age, they are reluctant to stay, and they can't stay anymore.

"Ah Wan. ”

Listening to his mother's gentle call to himself, Cui Zhiwan's eyes moved, and he turned to Yuan's eyes, but he saw that Yuan's lips had a little smile, and he waited a little, but then he opened his mouth to make the girl's cheeks red.

"What do you think, how is Young Master Xie Yun?"

The moment he blurted out his words, Yuan Shi watched carefully, and did not let go of the girl's slightest move, only to see the girl's hand on her lap pinched slightly, grabbed the skirt, and her eyes flashed with a smart smile, but she lowered her eyes evadly, and the corners of her mouth moved, as if she had been thinking about it for a long time before she gently overflowed a sentence.

"My daughter thinks that Mr. Xie Yun is very good. ”

A "very good", which contains too many thoughts of the daughter's family, Yuan has already heard it clearly, and it is also clear to see, so he reached out and covered the back of the girl's hand, and said with a little more emotion and appreciation in his words: "This Xie Yungongzi's mother has also seen it a few times, just looking at it, I feel that it is a rare man, and now he has gone to your father's yamen to serve, that is, he is as strict as your father, and he is full of praise, such an aspiring man, now it is difficult to find." ”

Hearing Yuan's words, the girl was silent, but she gradually understood what her mother meant, and her heart was both happy and nervous, Yuan raised her smiling eyes slightly, took all this into her eyes, and then slowly said: "Do you know that in a few days, the wife of the Xie family in Chen County, who is Xie Yun's mother, Mrs. Yang, will enter Beijing." ”

Hearing this, the girl bowed her head slightly and replied, "Ah Wan has heard of it." ”

Yuan nodded with a smile, and said with a meaning: "Now that Xie Yun is in his prime and his age is right, Mrs. Yang must have come to marry this only son." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan saw that the girl pursed her lips and was silent, and finally said loudly: "What do I mean with your father, when the time comes, I want to ask the most famous Cheng Niang in Jingling to go to Xie Mansion for us to talk to the matchmaker." ”

Hearing the word "matchmaker", the girl's eyes moved slightly, and Yuan Shi did not hesitate to say when she saw this: "But this marriage is a big deal, your father and I will naturally not be completely in charge, and I want to hear what you mean, if you think it is good, my mother will invite the lady to come tomorrow, if it is not good, I will not force it, this man in Jingling, let's look at it again." ”

Speaking of this, Yuan looked at his daughter with a smile, only to see the girl hesitantly pinching her skirt, perceiving Yuan's rather meaningful gaze, and finally made up her mind, raised her head generously, and said without dodging: "Ah Wan, but listen to my father and mother." ”

"Good, good. ”

Yuan laughed out loud, and then stroked his daughter's delicate hand and said: "So your father and I can rest assured, that Cheng Niangzi is an excellent matchmaker, as long as these eight characters are combined, everything will be decided." ”

Cui Zhiwan couldn't help but bow his head slightly when he heard this, and a hint of blush appeared on his cheeks and said, "What my mother said is too early." ”

Seeing this, Yuan naturally understood what the girl was worried about, but he smiled and comforted: "Our Ah Wan is also an excellent lady in the capital, even today Xie Yun came to the mansion to see the words on the plaque in our mansion, and also praised it as the hand of a famous artist, so I am afraid that it will not be too early for this matter." ”

Hearing her mother's laughter, the smile on Cui Zhiwan's lips became warmer, although she had the reserve of her daughter's family, she couldn't help but look forward to this family affair in her heart.
