In the garden to the east of the old mansion of Xie Fu, the young willows that have just sprouted by the lake are swaying in the breeze, and the apricot petals are falling in clusters, and the spring color of the garden suddenly seems intense, as if they want to poke out of the wall.

However, these are far from the most beautiful scenery of this spring afternoon in Xie Mansion.

The crisp tapping sound and sweet laughter perfectly blended in the spring breeze, and the obscure eyes of several elderly ladies sitting in the pavilion drinking tea seemed to reveal a bit of bright color, and the ladies and young grandmothers who were waiting on the side couldn't help but look towards the place where the flowers were blooming the most.

More than a dozen cardamom girls are walking among the flowers, their thin spring shirts lining their graceful figures, and their slender waists seem to be dancing in the breeze. The red is charming, the green is smart, the yellow is delicate, and there is a touch of rain over the azure elegant......

The embroidered shoes with jade soles stepped on the path paved with bluestone slabs, and the small and broken tapping sound emitted a unique rhythm, which was completely in line with the rhythm of spring, and clicked on the tip of the hearts of spring appreciators.

Early this morning, the old ladies of the Xie family's houses brought their most outstanding daughters-in-law, granddaughters-in-law, and granddaughters to the old mansion to greet the two old ladies. It's a pity that Doudou's aunt and grandmother Li sent someone to spread the word that there was a bit of an urgent matter for the time being, and they couldn't come to the old mansion until the afternoon, and all the excitement was borne by the old lady and Doudou's grandfather and grandson.

It was easy to get to the afternoon, and the ladies and grandmothers dispersed to deal with the housework, leaving only the old lady and the little girl to enjoy the flowers and visit the garden.

Although Doudou can't say that he knows Xie Jiao very well, for now, Xie Jiao's lively and hearty temperament is an "outlier" among the girls in Xie Mansion, and the two can talk quite well.

Seeing that the girls in front of her were also talking together, Xie Jiao deliberately pulled Doudou to the back of the team, leaned into her ear and whispered, "Guess why they all look a little wilted?"

Hearing her say this, Doudou carefully looked at the dozen or so cousins who walked in front, and sure enough, although they all had a smile on their faces, they were somewhat perfunctory, including the gentle cousin Yan, whose beautiful eyes also frequently looked in the direction of the garden gate.

Doudou chuckled and said, "Could it be that the person they want to see the most hasn't arrived yet." ”

Xie Jiao gently turned Doudou's waist with her elbow, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that I am straightforward and fast-talking, and you are not too much! They are all waiting for the Fu family's cousin Yun, if he doesn't come, won't they clean up so neatly today!"

Burst...... Doudou couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Xie Jiao a few times with slanted eyes, which means that you are also dressed up neatly, but for whom?

"Hey...... If I come out unkempt, they won't be able to keep it all and say that I deliberately made it eye-catching to attract Cousin Yun's attention, it's so boring!" Xie Jiao glared at Doudou.

Xie Jiao is a girl in the long house and the third room, and her grandfather is the cousin of the old lady. Her grandfather died early, her father was a county magistrate in a remote place, and she lived in the old mansion of Xie Mansion with her mother, so the eldest old lady and the Hu family mentioned that they wanted to marry their granddaughter Xu to Fu Shaoyun, and they only considered their own granddaughter Xie Yan.

"So that cousin Yun should be very talented?" Doudou actually wanted to say that Fu Shaoyun must be extraordinarily good-looking, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, the biggest possibility of being infatuated with a boy is that he has first-class skin, and as for talent, family background or something, it is secondary.

Sure enough, Xie Jiao said in a smaller voice: "I have never seen a boy who looks better than Cousin Yun! It's just picturesque......" Seeing Doudou's eyes full of banter, she hurriedly added: "Of course, the talent is also extremely high, you don't know, he just turned twelve years old when he was the first of the Intermediate Court trial two years ago, and it is said that his attainments in poetry are also very good." ”

I had heard others say that the eldest grandson of my aunt's grandmother was a showman at the age of twelve, and it turned out that he was still the head of the case. In this way, Doudou curled his lips and said, "No wonder they are so enthusiastic." ”

"If only like this, they wouldn't be enough, and Cousin Yun's family background is also very good. Xie Jiao suddenly remembered that the cousin Yuan in front of her had a good family background, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's nothing compared to your Yuan Mansion." ”

She looks like a well-informed person, which reminds Doudou of the eloquent Cousin Wan in the Zheng Mansion, it seems that the Xie family's Cousin Jiao is not weaker than her, but Cousin Jiao's words are by no means as annoying as Cousin Wan.

"Could it be that his mother's family is also from the Hou Mansion?" Doudou didn't know much about the Fu Mansion, only knew that Fu Shaoyun's father was the same as the Changsha Mansion, and as for the mother family, he didn't know at all.

"Speaking of this, it's lively......" Xie Jiaozheng said happily, but the girls in front of her suddenly stopped moving, and the two had to shut up and stop.

"Cousin Yun is here......" I don't know who couldn't help but call out softly, the girls' breathing seemed to be stagnant, but their hearts beat sharply faster, and several of them even trembled faintly.

Doudou's eyes looked at the gate of the garden through this group of graceful girls, and saw seven or eight teenagers walking over there, all of them tall and handsome, although she didn't know all of them, she could recognize who was the cousin Fu at a glance.

The beautiful and narrow eyes, the gaze is as clear as water, and it is obviously still a slightly childish young face, but the shallow smile makes people unable to figure it out. said that he looked good, but people ignored how delicate his facial features were for no reason, and they all attracted all their attention by the fluttering of the green shirt in the wind.

It is not touched by the fireworks in the world, just like a fairy falling into the dust.

"What's the matter, I'm not talking too much!" Seeing that Doudou seemed to be stunned for a moment, Xie Jiao whispered proudly.

"You look good, but I haven't seen you stunned?" Doudou now felt that he had underestimated this cousin before, which was completely different from the appearance of other girls.

"Shaoyun has seen all cousins. Without waiting for Xie Jiao to speak again, a clear and warm voice came like a spring breeze, making the stunned girls seem to wake up from a dream, and blessed themselves in the direction of the boys, and said in unison like a warbler: "Cousin is fine." ”

Even the voice seems to have a fairy spirit, and the fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy Doudou has seen a lot, most of them are a male duck, not to mention how ugly it is, but this cousin of the Fu family is simply from head to toe, how is this practiced, it is really not easy!

Doudou accidentally deserted again, and the girls were all short, and she stood in a daze, obviously taller.

Seeing that Cousin Yuan was about to make a foreign appearance, Xie Jiao pulled her arm in a hurry.

The second girl of Yuan, who was "strong in martial arts", fell like this......
