Just after noon, Grandma Qin's most intimate maid Xia Solstice went to Xiaozhuyuan in person and told Bai Jiuniang and Qixia that Shen Shizi took them to buy flower notes for Grandma. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bai Jiuniang thanked Xia Solstice and sent her out of the small bamboo courtyard, and when she returned, she saw Qixia standing in the patio, bending over, looking intently at the bluestone ground under her feet.

Bai Jiuniang followed her gaze, and the black-pressed ants lined up and meandered forward.

"The ants are moving, I'm afraid it's going to rain tomorrow." Bai Jiuniang said with a smile.

"If you can't go into the house to take shelter from the rain, where are they going? Don't you all have to get rainy? ”

Qixia was still bent over, looking at the tireless little things on the ground.

Bai Jiuniang sighed in her heart, this Qixia's gestures are beautiful and generous, even the movement of bending over is just right, except for the eldest grandmother, Bai Jiuniang has never seen a woman with such a pleasing demeanor, even Chang Da Grandma Zhuang and her own fifth lady are a few points inferior.

She is a woman in the rivers and lakes, but she can't be tough in the face of Qixia, even she didn't notice it, and she was gentler than usual when she spoke to Qixia: "Girl, the ant camp is just to live a smooth and warm life, although it will rain everywhere, but the terrain is a little higher, and it can always be less drenched than elsewhere, if you are lucky, find the cracks in the stones and tiles, maybe you can avoid a wind and rain." Alas, if you don't go any further, how do you know if there is a better place ahead? ”

Bai Jiuniang seemed to be talking to Qixia, and it seemed to be talking to herself.

Back then, she was forced to have nowhere to live by her step-nephew, but the elders of the clan did not help because she was a woman, at that time she thought about dying, but in the end she still came out of the river and took refuge in the Qin family, speaking of which, she is the same as these little ants.

Qixia finally raised her head and looked at Bai Jiuniang in front of her, Bai Jiuniang's posture was like a pine, her eyes were blazing, and there was a rare heroic spirit among women between her eyebrows.

The corners of Qixia's mouth were slightly raised, and a gentle smile appeared on her lips: "Have Lao Jiuniang accompany me to buy flower notes for my grandmother." ”

Bai Jiuniang nodded yes, looked her up and down, and said with a little hesitation: "Girl, go dress up, I'll wait in the yard." ”

Qixia shook her head, and the smile on her lips became brighter: "No need, that's fine." ”

Bai Jiuniang looked at her suspiciously, Qixia was wearing the clothes of a first-class maid in Mingyuantang, although the material was good, but at a glance, she knew that it was the dress of a slave maid, but the two silver hairpins on the double flat bun were finely made, which was a trick that had just emerged in the capital. The eldest grandmother is very good to the people around her, especially generous to the people around her, before she got married, she gave the bridal maids a new face, and Chang Gui's daughter-in-law and Bai Jiuniang are also everyone's share.

Although Qixia was dressed neatly, it was much worse than the last time she went out with Shen Shizi.

That time, Qixia dressed up in front of the rhombic glasses for most of the hour, and her hair was combed and scattered, as if she was never satisfied.

Like last time, the Qin family's mule cart followed the carriage of the Marquis of Xiaoyong's mansion, exited Jiuzhi Hutong, and drove all the way to Shupu Street.

Qixia sat in the car, suddenly lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the rows of buildings on the side of the road, the bustling crowd, she muttered: "It turns out that there are such lively places in the capital, I didn't pay attention to it before." ”

In fact, last time, they also took this path.

Different moods and different scenery to see.

She turned around and asked Bai Jiuniang: "When I was still in Luofu, I heard the maids say that the eldest grandmother has been to many places, did Jiuniang go with her?" ”

Bai Jiuniang said with a smile: "I don't know, I haven't come yet, it's the summer solstice girl who went out with my grandmother, my mother's house is a dart, I have also been to some places, but most of the famous temples and ancient temples that my grandmother has been to, famous mountains and rivers, I have not been to most of them, even if I go, it is a cow chewing peonies, and I can't see the elegance." Not to mention a rough person like me, among the women of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty, I am afraid that only the wife of the in-law family can have such an experience and insight as a grandmother. ”

A trace of loneliness flashed in Qixia's eyes, and she lowered her eyelids: "When I was a child, my mother took me from my hometown to the capital, I remember walking a lot of roads, my mother said that the capital is the richest place in the world, I look forward to arriving early every day, because when I get to the capital, I can wear new clothes, the clothes are sewn a long time ago, and I can only wear them when I go to see the nobles, but after arriving in the capital, I found that the cage containing the new clothes is gone, and my mother said that it may have been stolen......"

"Later, my father died, and I went home from the capital to keep filial piety, and I also walked a lot, but this time, I didn't feel that the way out was far away, because he was with me, and he said that he would get married after the filial piety period, but ......"

Her voice grew quieter and quieter, until finally as thin as a gnat.

It turned out to be the same, when she was a child, the noble person in her mother's mouth was the old lady of the Marquis of Xiaoyong's mansion, no matter how she hoped and thought, after all, she still couldn't put on new clothes and walked into the Marquis of Xiaoyong's mansion.

And when she grew up, she still didn't have the blessing to wear the red wedding dress that Shen Yan promised her.

Just like the new clothes when I was a child, I didn't have anything to do with her after all.

Her wedding dress had already been made, and she asked someone from the Shangyi Bureau to sew it carefully, and before she returned to Luoyang to keep filial piety, she left the wedding dress in the Hou Mansion, and she was convinced that Shen Yan would take the wedding dress to Luoyang to marry her.

The mule cart slowly stopped, and Bai Jiuniang helped Qixia and walked into the back hall of the flower shop.

The young man in the brocade robe and jade belt, beautiful and incomparable, stood in the middle of the room, looking at her with joy.

Shen Yan waved her hand, a purse was thrown over, Bai Jiuniang caught it quietly, she bent her knees and thanked her, and retreated silently.

The wooden door closed silently, Qixia subconsciously turned around, looked at the slowly closed wooden door, and when she turned her head again, her body had fallen into a familiar embrace.

"Xiaoya, do you miss me these days?" Before Shen Yan's words fell, the red lips had already fallen on Qixia's face.

Qixia stretched out her hand to push him away a little and asked, "Lord Shizi, have your family affairs been decided?" ”

Shen Yan didn't expect Qixia to push him away, he frowned, and said impatiently: "Why are you mentioning this, it's really a bad scenery." ”

Seeing him frowning, Qixia slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the frowning hill between his eyebrows, this familiar and gentle action made the little annoyance in Shen Yan's heart disappear.

"Although my grandmother and father don't look down on Zhao Ning, they can't do anything about me, don't worry, within a month, they will definitely agree. Zhao Qingyi's temperament is like a little sheep, and when I look at her, she is scared and overwhelmed. ”
