Regarding the matter of mountaineering, Yuchai and Caiyue were both in high spirits, and they were about to change into light clothes in a hurry, but they were finally splashed with a basin of cold water by their male master.

"You all rest on the Zhuangzi, and I will go with your second young grandmother. If you really want to go, you will have half a day off tomorrow and play by yourself. ”

Caiyue and Yuchai glanced at each other, bowed their heads together for the last time, and smiled with their lips pursed.

Shi Lingfeng didn't care, and sat outside waiting for Ning Yun. Because he was going to go on a mountain trip, he first changed into a black suit. Ning Yun is naturally no exception, she can't wait to change the pleated skirt she wears on weekdays into convenient pants, but after thinking about it, she still didn't do it after all, because women in this era are extremely indecent to wear pants, and they will be said to be frivolous. If she really did this, I am afraid that no one but herself would be able to accept it.

However, even so, Ning Yun still played a clever trick. She asked Cui's mother to find a skirt with a slightly smaller swing, and then slightly changed it to make a hakama. It's a hakama, but after you put it on, you can't see it without looking closely. Not only that, but after walking a few steps, I saw that the skirt was swinging from side to side like a wave, and with the original water wave pattern, it was even better than the original. In this way, there is no embarrassment of wearing pants, and the procrastination and inconvenience of skirts are avoided. Wearing this new "invention", Ning Yun put on a pair of white boots on her feet, and chose a narrow sleeved and concise oblique short jacket, with green flowers on a white background, which was very refreshing.

Ning Yun also took off the original jingling earrings, bracelets and headdresses on her body, and only used a pure white plain hosta to pull a bun high. On the ears, there is a pair of round cloves of the same material, there are no superfluous pendants, but they are small and exquisite, which makes Ning Yun's little face more delicate and good-looking.

Shi Lingfeng saw Ning Yun walking out like this at first glance, and she didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at her with a pair of eyes.

Yuchai, who has always been rarely mouthy, couldn't help but interject at this time: "Young grandma dresses up like this, it's really good-looking." Caiyue also responded again and again.

Ning Yun pursed her lips and smiled at Shi Lingfeng: "Let's go, we won't be able to come back before dark." After speaking, she brought up the straw basket she asked Cui's mother to borrow from Aunt Zheng.

"What are you doing here?" Shi Lingfeng stared at the thing in her hand and asked her with a smile.

"There must be ripe fruit or wild vegetables on the mountain at this time, I picked them, and I just came back to make dinner."

Ning Yun looked natural, but Caiyue and Yuchai were frightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to snatch the small basket in Ning Yun's hand, and said, "No, no, how can you let the young grandmother do this!" If the young grandmother wants to eat, we will go to the mountains tomorrow and pick it up. ”

Ning Yun didn't follow: "It's interesting to pick it yourself, what's the fun of sitting and waiting to eat?" Not only do I have to pick it myself, but I also have to pick it up myself, and I will make it for you to eat at night! And, what are you worried about? Even if I didn't have you, wouldn't I still have a hard labor by my side! As he spoke, he patted Shi Lingfeng on the shoulder very unceremoniously.

She was small, and when she stood up straight, she only reached Shi Lingfeng's shoulder. is such a height difference, Ning Yun also raised his arm to pat his shoulder, which caused everyone present to laugh.

Yuchai and Caiyue glanced at each other again: if this kind of action and demeanor had been placed before, they would definitely feel that the sun was about to come out in the west. But during this time, they all saw the changes in their masters, from the initial rejection of people thousands of miles away, to the current occasional appearance of a little woman. Their two slaves and maidservants also rejoiced. The master is really much happier than before. That's a lot of fun. Even with Second Master Feng, it seems that he has changed. I used to laugh, but I always felt that my smile was different from my current smile. What's different, but I can't say it, in short, it's better than before.

The smile on Shi Lingfeng's face did not decrease, he raised his hand, and patted the top of Ning Yun's head, and his voice was also gentle: "Okay, follow Madame's orders." After speaking, he held Ning Yun's hand tightly, and the two of them walked towards Baitou Mountain in the direction of each other.

That pair of backs, from a distance, is really a beautiful pair!

Yuchai and Caiyue looked at the backs of the male and female protagonists in the distance, and their faces were full of admiration. Cui's mother walked out of the back room, put down the sewing box for Ning Yun to repair clothes, and also praised: "Our second master and second young grandmother are really dragons and phoenixes among people." Turning to look at the expressions on the faces of the two of them, he lowered his voice a little and asked, "Are you envious?" ”

At this moment, Yuchai and Caiyue reacted twice. Yuchai immediately understood the meaning of Cui's mother's words, restrained her expression, and responded in a low voice: "Seeing that the second master and the second young grandmother are so good, I am happy for them in my heart." I don't ask for anything else, I just want to have someone who treats me as sincerely as the second grandfather treats the second young grandmother in the future, and the two of them live a peaceful and quiet life together, and they will be content. ”

Cui's mother showed an approving look and nodded. Turned to look at Saizuki.

Compared with Yuchai, Caiyue's brain didn't turn so fast, and she still looked at the backs of Ning Yun and Shi Lingfeng infatuatedly, and muttered: "Hey, how can you not be envious, I'm envious to death." ”

Cui's mother made a little stern face, and said to Caiyue: "Are you envious of the second young grandmother and the second master Feng's deep affection?" Or are you just envious of the second young grandmother? ”

Caiyue turned back a little puzzled: "Isn't this all the same?"

Cui's mother looked at her for a long time without speaking, and Caiyue suddenly came to her senses, and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Mother Cui, you have wronged me." That's not what I meant! Besides, even if I have the guts, I don't have that face when I stand in front of the second young grandmother! What kind of character is the second young grandmother, not to mention good-looking, knowledgeable and smart. I can't wait to be a man, so that I can marry a daughter-in-law like the second young grandmother, and it hurts to hold it in the palm of my hand! How do I ...... How dare you have that kind of thought! Mother Cui, you are really ......"

Because she was in a hurry to explain, Caiyue's face turned red.

Cui's mother sighed at this time, and her tone softened a lot: "Don't blame my wife for being nosy. I really can't bear to do something that you have done impulsively and regretted for most of your life. If this is changed to another master, I don't have much of this mouth. But who are the second master and the second young grandmother? They are different from other masters! My wife has been in this deep mansion compound for half her life, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of things and all kinds of people. That's why I want to persuade you...... Hey, it's good that both of you are good, you understand, and you don't need me to talk about it anymore. ”

Yuchai and Caiyue have been getting along with Cui's mother very well these days, and they know that Cui's mother's words today are thinking about their future, so they are very grateful in their hearts.

"Mom, don't worry, Yuchai will never marry for the rest of her life, and she won't think about taking that path."

Caiyue also nodded: "Me too." I'm the same as Sister Yuchai, I just want someone who treats me sincerely, and I'm content. ”

Cui's mother had a kind face, took the hands of the two of them like her own daughter, and said, "The second young grandmother must know better than me. In the future, as long as you say a word, she will definitely not be reluctant to let you go out and get married. Yuchai is a steady one, and I'm not worried about her suffering. It's you," Cui's mother turned to face Caiyue, and said in a tone of hatred: "Honestly, what kind of cousin in your family is looking for you again!"

When Caiyue heard this, her face turned red all of a sudden, and she lowered her head for a long time before she squeezed out a few words: "He...... His original wife was gone last year, like ...... It seems to have this meaning. The head of the family, that ...... It seems to mean the same thing. ”

Yuchai and her sisters, hearing her say this, were startled, and hurriedly said: "But the one who quit you when I knew that you married into the Shi family with your master?" ”

Caiyue nodded. After a while, seeing that Cui's mother and Yuchai's faces were not good, he hurriedly explained: "I can't blame him for what happened back then." He is a few years older than me, and I lost my promise to be brought by my master, and he can't afford to wait, and he deserves it. ”

Yuchai was not happy, and said angrily: "He has no wife, so he thinks of you again." When I quit your family, did you remember your difficulties? Quitting our daughter is what a slap in the face!"

Cui's mother didn't tone well: "Then what do you mean?" Is it that you can't let him go? ”

Caiyue immediately had a tangled look on her face, and she was simply not shy, she sat down and sighed, "Hey." I know that you are good to me, and I will not hide it from you. It's not that I can't let him go, but I do think about other reasons. Over the years, the family has been worried about my relatives, but because of his withdrawal from my relatives back then, and the fact that I am the second young grandmother's wedding girl, there are constant rumors outside, and no one dares to go to my house to propose marriage. Although the young grandmother had already given me grace and said that I would be allowed to leave the house if there was a suitable person in the family, until now at this age, I have not met a suitable one; Moreover, over the years, he has done some small business outside, but it has also improved a little, and his family said that I should not be able to endure hardships when I get married. So ......"

"So you're not guilty of the past, and you're going to be someone's steproom?"

"No, no." Caiyue waved her hand again and again and explained: "Because of the first thing, my family just persuaded me, but they didn't force me, they just said that it depends on my own meaning." I...... Aren't I thinking about it! He also went to my house to look for me a few times, but I still haven't made up my mind to see him! It was just a few letters from him. ”

"You get the idea!" Cui's mother was relieved and asked again, "Does the young grandmother know?"

Caiyue shook her head, looking very distressed: "No, I didn't even tell you, how dare I tell my master!" I have been trembling when I received his letter in the past few days. Fortunately, I have been in the mansion, and he has no chance to see me, otherwise, I am really afraid that he will come to the historian's house to find me and cause me a private confession. I heard from my family that he waited outside the gate of Shi's house for several days to see me and beg me for forgiveness. Fortunately, I have been in the house, so I didn't have a chance to meet him. "The maid of the Shi family, without the permission of the master, is not allowed to have contact with people outside, especially men, otherwise it will be a violation of family rules.

Cui's mother and Yuchai glanced at each other, and they both saw worry in each other's eyes.

"Now, we are not the Shi family's mansion in the capital. If he ......"

When Caiyue heard this, her little face turned pale with fright, and she exclaimed:

"Ah, oh......"
