Zhuo Yijia stood on the tree and looked at the noble girls coming and going in the east chamber, looking at the faces of each girl seriously, searching for memories in her mind. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

After looking at it for a long time, I saw a few familiar faces. Many girls Zhuo Yijia didn't know, and those were often summoned by themselves in their previous lives. Zhuo Yijia in this life has been in the side courtyard all his life, and few of his sisters can recognize him. The faces I recognize now are also the last time I saw them in the palace, and they were still milky, but now they are slim.

Looking at the people coming and going below, Zhuo Yijia's eyes were stunned, and his eyes fell on the figure of the general who got off the soft sedan outside the east wing.

The lake-blue makeup dress swayed gently with the steps of the sunset that had not yet set. Zhuo Yijia watched Lin Yuqi get off the soft sedan chair, all the way through the pond with lotus flowers, and walked into the east wing.

Lin Yuqi walked into the east wing, and the maid who followed behind listened to the red silk salute, and followed Lin Yuqi step by step.

Xia Hanpei sat in the east chamber and did not greet guests at the door, to be exact, it should be today, she has not welcomed any guests.

Lin Yuqi glanced at the two little maids standing at the door of the room, and under the leadership of the Xia family's guide maid in front, she walked straight to the room, and smiled at Xia Hanpei, who was sitting upright: "Miss Xia, congratulations on your sixteenth birthday, this is the congratulatory gift I brought, and I hope to accept it." Saying that, Lin Yuqi glanced at the little maid behind her.

The little maid handed over the red silk box she was holding in her hand, Xia Hanpei just put down the teacup in her hand, raised her eyelids and glanced at Lin Yuqi, nodded, and quickly looked away.

Looking at Xia Hanpei's indifference, Lin Yuqi pursed her lips indifferently. Lin Yuqi, her father and Xia Chengwen are all official positions of Zheng Sanpin, and Xia Hanpei's attitude did not make Lin Yuqi embarrassed that other noble daughters were left out in the cold. No one has to hold anyone.

Presenting the gift, Lin Yuqi found an inconspicuous place and sat down by herself. Look left and right. She wasn't going to come today, but what she said to Zhuo Si that day made her very curious, curious about what would happen today.

Sitting on the chair, Lin Yuqi looked around, her eyes rolling, for fear of letting go of any crucial small detail.

The girl on the side sat upright, looking at Lin Yuqi who kept looking around as soon as she came in, and followed Lin Yuqi with some curiosity.

"What are you looking at?" the girl asked curiously, and followed Lin Yuqi to look at the courtyard outside the house.

Lin Yuqi was stunned when she heard this, turned her head to look at the girl beside her, and when she saw it clearly, she smiled: "It's nothing, I've never been to Xia Shilang's house, and I'm a little curious about the scenery here." ”

"Speaking of which, I've never been here. The girl followed Lin Yuqi and smiled.

The hot afternoon made Lin Yuqi sit and began to heat up after a moment, the ice basin in the center of the hall was a little far away from Lin Yuqi's corner, sitting near the door, the open door came in with heat, Lin Yuqi couldn't say a few words to the girl next to her, she was thirsty, and took a cup of tea on the table to take a sip.

As soon as she took it, Lin Yuqi was stunned, looked at the blue and white porcelain quilt in her hand and frowned, thought about it, and put it down again. Forget it, stay thirsty, who knows what will happen today, it's always not a good thing.

Lin Yuqi pinched the gauze on the neckline and trembled, and the wind stirred up made her chest feel a little cool. It's gone again in a flash.

"Why don't you drink water?" The girl next to her kept looking at Lin Yuqi and watched her movements.

Lin Yuqi turned her head and looked at Xue Rulan on the side, who had been staring at her without moving?

"Ahem, I'm not used to drinking this tea. As she spoke, Lin Yuqi pointed to the teacup on the table.

"Are there any people who are not used to drinking tea? Xue Rulan said softly, her face was surprised, and then she picked up her cup of tea and took a sip: "Xia Shilang's pre-rain Longjing is not bad." ”

Lin Yuqi smiled and didn't respond, and sat quietly on the side without speaking.

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the setting sun dyes the flowers and plants of the summer mansion, and even the roof tiles shine in the setting sunset.

When it was almost time for the main banquet, a maid in the courtyard came to report, and slowly moved to the courtyard with a group of nobles in the east wing. When they arrived at the courtyard, the guests arrived. Most of the officials came from the outer courtyard, and there were one or two men who accompanied the elders of the family. The maid took Xia Hanpei and his party to the side gate of the compound and entered.

The guests in the courtyard were chatting energetically, and when they heard the voices of people outside the courtyard, coupled with the laughter of the girls mixed with it from time to time, the people in the courtyard also knew that it was the eldest lady of the Xia family who came to congratulate the nobles who came over.

The conversation in the courtyard gradually became quieter, and after a while, it fell silent, leaving only the women in the cubicle laughing softly.

Lin Yuqi followed a group of people into the right wing room from the side door, the right wing room for the female dependents is very large, surrounded by four paintings of Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, the large one occupies the general wall, and there is a shelf next to the window, the shelf is full of porcelain antiques, and there is a vase depicting the picture of the lady.

The three or four large tables in the center of the right wing room are not too crowded, but there is more than enough space to go back and forth. The right wing room is connected to the lobby in the middle, and at this time, there are two foldable large screens in the middle, separating the men in the lobby from the ladies in the right wing.

Xia Hanpei led a group of noble ladies to sit down in turn, glancing at the lobby across the screen from time to time.

Xia Hanpei turned to look at the nobles who came in together and had almost arranged it, smiled gently at the women, and said, "You use it here first, I'll clean my hands and come back soon." After speaking, the ladies who did not wait to sit down answered, turned around and went out to the side door where they had just entered.

As soon as Xia Hanpei went out, the atmosphere in the right wing room suddenly softened, and the nobles around him chatted.

Lin Yuqi, who had been paying attention to Xia Hanpei, walked out on Xia Hanpei's front foot, and followed quietly with her back foot. Lin Yuqi sat on the table by the window, the farthest away from the table where Xia Hanpei was sitting, and the two people who were so far away left one after another in the warm voice, and no one noticed.

It's just that Xue Rulan, who was sitting next to Lin Yuqi, watched Lin Yuqi make a biased back, lowered her head thoughtfully.

Xia Hanpei walked out of the side door, turned around, and walked to the back of the house in the pick-up compound. Go around the right wing and walk to the back of the lobby. Xia Hanpei turned his head to look around, and said to the two maids who followed behind him, "Show me well." ”

With that, he turned around and poked a hole in the window paper at the back of the lobby. I got closer, looked at the conversation inside, swept over, and my eyes froze and lit up. And sure enough, he came.
