There was a burst of voices walking, Bai Jiushen lifted the curtain and went out, and saw the old lady Gongsun (for the Penglai snake queen) who had not been seen for a long time, and a slender young man stood next to him, and the old lady Zang said with rare affection: "I can be regarded as looking forward to you, please sit down." ”

The old lady is still the same, with a ruddy and chubby face, gray hair neatly pulled up, after a while of greetings between the two sides, they called the younger generation to salute, Ah San and Bai Jiushen first kowtowed to the old lady Gongsun, and then Gongsun Xun saluted the old lady Zang and the Liu family.

Liu pulled Gongsun Xun to look left and right, and praised: "Sure enough, he is a talented brother, and the old lady is full of praise when she returns to Qingqiu." As she spoke, she gently asked Gongsun Xun how old he was, what books he read, and what he liked to eat, and the old lady couldn't help but interrupt and said with a smile: "Okay! Let the child sit down, are you asking people or forcing debts!"

Everyone in the room laughed, Ah San stepped forward and grabbed Liu, turned around and smiled: "The old lady is not strange, my mother likes it." The old lady shook her head, and when she saw Bai Jiushen in a blink of an eye, she smiled: "After a year, the nine girls have grown taller." The old lady smiled and said, "This child only grows but doesn't have long eyes, so he knows that he is naughty." ”

Ah San's face was shining, and he sneered: "Grandmother, look at you, you have to be humble, and you can't bury the ninth sister like this, my sister is filial and sensible." ”

Liu also joked: "This is the truth, among my daughters, there are only nine girls who are the most lovely." ”

Such a strong compliment, Bai Jiushen was a little dumbfounded, and there was a strangeness in her heart, she looked at Gongsun Xun sitting opposite, only to see that his face was crimson, his eyes were dodgy, and when he looked over, he looked away like a rabbit.

Bai Jiushen's heart was ringing with alarm bells, she looked at the five old and small women present, and secretly wondered: Is there anything they know, but she doesn't know?

Everyone talked for a while, and the old lady Zang pointed to Ah San and said with a smile: "My eldest granddaughter brought a few horses of thick velvet material, I look good, I want to send you some, why don't you come into the house and take a look, which one do you like?"

Old Madam Gongsun's wrinkled eyes smiled like a flower, a little naughty, and pretended to say: "Since it was sent by my daughter-in-law, it is better to ask her to accompany me to take a look." ”

"Go together, go together. The old lady Zang was full of smiles, Ah San seemed to be blushing, but she also stood up quickly, and followed the two old ladies to the back room, and the maid who came with her followed with a chubby suitcase.

These words were like a code, and Bai Jiushen secretly said in his heart: As for it.

This look can't come out, leaving the absent-minded Liu family to talk to Gongsun Xun without a match, after a cup of tea, Liu has asked Gongsun Xun for the third time, "Lingtang is good", she really couldn't help it, and smiled unnaturally: "I'll also go inside to take a look." ”

Then only Bai Jiushen and Gongsun Xun were left, the two of them sat opposite each other, one held a tea bowl and carefully looked at the pattern on the head, and the other looked to the ground, as if a begonia flower had grown on the stall;

There was silence in the room, only the charcoal fire in the seven-story lotus platform brass stove in the middle was heard, or Gongsun Xun couldn't help it, coughed lightly twice, and said, "Why haven't you finished reading this material yet?"

Bai Jiushen also replied in a similar way: "There must be too much material." ”

"No matter how much material there is, it's time to read it. Gongsun Xun was a little uneasy.

"It must be too good material. "Bai Jiushen is very calm.

After being silent for a while, the two glanced at each other, and they both laughed, Gongsun Xun's handsome eyes were as bright as a spring lakeside, and the people watching were warm.

"Why bother?

Gongsun Xun smiled at the corner of his mouth: "There have always been people who hide illness and avoid medical treatment, not to mention women, the word 'evil disease' is the most hurtful, and your eldest sister is also helpless." ”

Bai Jiushen looked at him quietly and said, "Do you also think it is not easy for women?"

Gongsun Xun's eyebrows and eyes were warm, like a hot spring, and he said seriously: "If my grandmother was born a man, her swordsmanship would definitely be known to the world, but it is a pity that she can only take care of housework in the boudoir, and she will always teach me this unsuccessful grandson." ”

Bai Jiushen smiled: "No, how can it not be a weapon, I heard that you have been promoted to an immortal." ”

Gongsun Xun was amused in his heart, glanced at Bai Jiushen's reddened and somewhat abnormal cheeks, and thought about it, so he put on a straight face and said: "Since Meng False's praise is in the next instrument, I have to say a word in the next." ”

"Speak. Bai Jiushen didn't care.

"Don't drink cold wine, especially before bedtime. ”

"Uh-" Bai Jiushen reflexively covered his mouth, with a kind of annoyance that was pierced on the spot, and said vaguely, "You-" was about to deny, but when he saw Gongsun Xun looking at himself with a smile and a determined look, he recognized it and said angrily, "You can also see this?!"

Gongsun Xun pretended to sigh: "No way, who told me to be so successful." ”

Bai Jiushen held the red sleeve and muffled softly, almost smiling and bending over.

Xun looked at Bai Jiushen opposite, bent the corners of his mouth, revealing two cute little white teeth, embarrassed and embarrassed, and his green eyebrows were reflected on the white and almost transparent skin, which was as good as peacock blue.

His heart was hot, so he lowered his head and did not dare to look at it again.

At the beginning of February, the spring is cold, the branches and leaves draw out the tender new green, Bai Jiushen is in a good mood, determined to write two big characters to welcome the spring, and then spread out the idle winter table, called the old Bao'er carefully grinding an inkstone, just picked up the pen and wrote a sentence 'three or two peach blossoms outside the bamboo', Ah Ba came to the door, Bai Jiushen hurriedly put down the pen, smiled and welcomed the door.

After greetings, Ah Bayi raised his eyes and saw a layer of snow-white rice paper on the table with yellow rosewood carved begonia inlaid with marble, and the ink had not dried, so he smiled and said, "I've worked hard to disturb my sister." Bai Jiushen smiled: "It's just written that it's stubborn, how can it be considered hard work." ”

Ah Ba walked to the front of the case, picked up the paper to look at it, and said critically: "You dare to write a pen like this?!"

Bai Jiushen was criticized for splitting his head, and said: "I can still see people in Xiaokai, and I still copied scriptures and practiced it." ”

Ah Ba glanced at Bai Jiushen contemptuously, without saying a word, he picked up the pen and slammed a few times, and continued to write a sentence 'Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet', which was really full and round, much stronger than Bai Jiushen's words, but ...... Although she couldn't write, she could see that these words were still worse than the old lady.

Of course, Bai Jiushen still applauded loudly and praised hard, Ah Ba looked at his words, and was quite proud, so he continued to write, just finished writing the last word, and gave the word 'time' a thick point, Ah Qi also came, and when she saw that Ah Ba was also there, she frowned, and said, "Why are you also here?"

Bai Jiushen didn't have time to praise Ah Ba's last stroke, so he stepped forward to welcome Ah Qi into the house, and the spring cherry blossoms who lifted the curtain over there were already used to it, so they went to make tea without waiting for instructions.

Ah Ba put down the pen, turned out from behind the table, and said with a smile: "If you come, I won't come?"

Bai Jiushen hurriedly played a round and joked to himself: "The main thing is that I have a good place here, the tea is good, the snacks are good, and the main house is especially good." ”

Ah Qi and Ah Baqi took a bite of her.

Location: Cho Yu Temple

I don't know when the three sisters often gather in the Yu Palace.

In fact, to really say it, Ah Qi's Narcissus Pavilion is the most comfortable and luxurious, but every time Ah Ba goes in, he has to laugh at the 'vulgar and rustic', and Ah Ba's mountain and moon residence is the most elegant and pleasant, full of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Ah Qi has to provoke a 'fake pedant' when he goes in, so often without saying a word, war will break out;

Ah Qi went around to the table and went to see the big characters, although she couldn't comment on the quality of the words, but she also had to say a few words: "Why don't you use swallow notes? This time for the New Year, didn't my uncle send a lot?" Bai Jiushen held his hand, afraid and said: "How expensive is that, you don't need to practice ordinary calligraphy." ”

Ah Ba Leng snorted: "Writing looks at the penmanship, even the Ming poems are only written on ordinary paper, but they have also been passed down through the ages, is it for that paper?"

Bai Jiushen hurriedly interjected: "What the two sisters said is right, but my penmanship is worthy of this ordinary rice paper, and my sisters want to come to me to write, please bring your own good paper." ”

She is not afraid of their quarrels, but the best battlefield is not to be the Yudian, the last time they were angry, Ah Ba casually smashed a cloisonné enamel incense box, Ah Qiyi waved off three pastel bean green glazed Shih Tzu cups, and it was not good to claim, Bai Jiushen was distressed.

Yinli came up with a tea tray, followed by Chun Ying who was carrying a basket box of dim sum, Bai Jiushen hurriedly pulled the two of them to sit at the table, and said with a smile: "This is a new bean paste dim sum made yesterday, I came from the old lady, sisters try it." ”

Ah Qi commented on the tea a few more words as usual, and Ah Ba also picked a few words of dim sum as usual, which calmed the atmosphere.

After a few words, he talked about yesterday's visitor, Ah Qi said: "Jiang Niang said, the old lady is quite knowledgeable, and she came to catch up with the old lady, so she didn't ask us to go to visit." ”

Ah Baswen flicked the lid of the tea bowl and said with a smile: "I heard that His Royal Highness came with him......"

Ah Qi snorted and interrupted her: "Eighth sister, don't you want to be watery Yang Hua, what's the matter?, you seduced Ao Xue and wanted to seduce Gongsun Xun?" Ah Ba wanted to refute a few words, but she was more weak-minded, so she ignored Ah Qi, only glanced at Bai Jiushen, and smiled meaningfully: "But...... Fortunately, the door is clean and the population is simple. ”

Bai Jiushen lowered his head to drink tea, and did not speak, Ah Qi didn't know the inside story, so he changed the topic by himself: "In the next few days, I may go to a temple in the human world to incense, what can the ninth sister think about what to wear? ”

Bai Jiushen smiled and said, "Well, I'll wear that pair of lotus silver silk with jade inlay." Ah Qi wrinkled his nose and said in disgust: "Although we are from the demon world, but it is too shabby, can't you give our patriarch a long face?

Bai Jiushen didn't care, put down the tea bowl, and said with a serious face: "Let's go to play, you wear so much gold and go to go, long face?

Ah Qi glared and said: "Who dares to rob? After boring for many days, I want to have a good time, and I have to wear Jiang Niang's golden hairpin and pearl chain." "The show off is beyond words.

"My God, you can open a jewelry shop with this body, Sister Seventh is fine, spare your poor neck!" Bai Jiushen complained, Ah Qi reached out to twist her face, and Bai Jiushen hurriedly hid.

Seeing the two of them laughing together, Ah Ba felt a little left out, so he said coldly: "You guys are still so happy." ”

Ah Qi immediately turned around and retorted: "The old lady said, the human world is mixed, if you rush to the incense in the first month, you can't take care of it properly, don't lead to some stories when the time comes!

Ah Ba chuckled and said: "Sister has watched too much drama, so worried, most of the famous families go to the New Year, even if we don't watch it strictly, they will also be on guard, what is there to be afraid of? The old lady is also careful, she is getting old." ”

Bai Jiushen was very uncomfortable when he heard this, and frowned and said: "Is there no prodigal son in the famous and wealthy family? There was a little coldness in his voice.

Ah Basheng choked, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What do you mean by sister?"

Bai Jiushen smiled and said, "What did my sister say?"

Ah Ba glared at him angrily, Bai Jiushen did not back down, Ah Qi was very excited, but unfortunately the two only looked at each other for a while, Bai Jiushen put aside his eyes, smiled gently, and said: "What my sister means is that the elders are always more thoughtful than we think, and we are obedient to the juniors." ”

Ah Ba sat down angrily, Ah Qi was still not happy, and was about to add two handfuls of firewood, when suddenly the curtain opened, and a clever and delicate little girl got in, it was Xue'er and Xiqiao beside Ah Qi, she respectfully blessed a few girls, and then smiled at Ah Qi and said, "Seven Emperor Ji, the fox queen asked you to go." ”

Ah Qi slapped his face in surprise and exclaimed softly: "Ah, I forgot again!" Jiang Niang asked me to help her read some account books. He also deliberately looked at the two, not without pride, "Eighth sister and ninth sister, I'll go first." With that, he hurried away.

After the people walked away, Ah Bacai slapped the table heavily and said hatefully: "Look at her arrogant appearance!

Bai Jiushen picked up the tea bowl again, blew it gently, and said: "Yang Niang taught the fourth sister poetry and songs, Li Niang taught the fifth sister to set up accounts, and I followed Zang to learn some swordsmanship, isn't this very good." ”

Ah Ba looked at Bai Jiushen, only to feel a fist hit the cotton, holding his breath in his stomach, and said, "Hmph, it's really not easy for a girl's family." ”
