The days passed quickly, and half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Qiu Ci still walks around during the day and goes out to practice at night, her body recovers very well, and she is no longer the small body that she used to fall ill at every turn.

As Qingming approached, a light rain began to fall in the capital.

The light rain was heavy, but sticky, with the warm smell of spring.

It's not easy to go out in such weather, and it's not very convenient to walk even in the house, and Qiu Ci is trapped in Dingxie Pavilion, which is a bit boring.

Qinglan and Ping'er were doing embroidery work in the house, Qiu Ci watched them thread the needle and thread, and watched one pretty flower after another appear in their hands, and couldn't help but admire, "The hands are so skillful." ”

Qiu Ci doesn't know how to do embroidery, they all know this.

When she was seven years old, she broke her head and became a fool, and for more than two years, she was always stupid, let alone embroidered with needle and thread.

Later, she got better, and she was not interested in the affairs of these little daughters' families, and Mei and the old lady did not propose to let her learn, so she was even more lazy to learn.

"What do you like, Miss? The slave embroidered a small purse for you? Qinglan said tentatively, "But the slave doesn't embroider well, so I'm afraid that the young lady will dislike it." ”

Qiu Ci smiled, pointing to the little magpie she had just embroidered, the bird was lifelike, vivid, as if it was about to burst into the sky, "Isn't this also bad?" How do you call the embroidery girl in the embroidery workshop to live? ”

Qinglan was shy and silent, Qiu Ci knew that she was thin-skinned and couldn't stand praise.

"As long as you embroider it, I like it." Qiu Ji said with a smile again.

Ping'er was dissatisfied, "Don't you like the lady I embroidered?" ”

"I like it all." Autumn words are funny.

Ping'er just gave up.

The drizzle outside the window fell on the ginkgo trees, and the rustling of the leaves was pleasant to listen to.

"Miss, why don't you read today?" Ping'er asked.

Qiu Ci is boring, she has finished the only book in Ding Xie Pavilion, and when she heard Ping'er ask like this, she suddenly remembered that such a big Anping Hou Mansion should have a library pavilion, right?

"Is there a library in the house?" She asked.

Ping'er nodded, "Yes, is Miss going?" ”

Naturally, she was going to go, and she was idle anyway, so it was better to go to the library to pass the time.

"Check it out." Qiu Ji said, standing up and preparing to go out.

"Wait, Miss, slave go get an umbrella." Ping'er hurriedly got up and hurriedly took an umbrella and followed behind Qiu Ci.

Qinglan was a little puzzled, Miss had never been to school, although she had followed Mrs. before, and she knew some words, but she had never seen her read?

In ancient times, a woman's lack of talent was virtue, and the girls of large families were all literate, so Mrs. never forced it, and the lady did not know many words.

Now that the young lady said that she was going to read a book, Qinglan was a little puzzled.

Probably because the young lady was bored alone and wanted to go out for a walk.

When he came to the library pavilion, Qiu Ci found that the library pavilion of the Hou Mansion was not ordinarily large.

Although the Hou Mansion is divided into two mansions, the East and the West, but this library pavilion was built as early as the beginning of the establishment of the mansion, Qiu Ci's grandfather, the great-grandfather are all book lovers, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a collection of thousands of volumes.

At first glance, there are more than a dozen rows of tall bookshelves, each of which is divided into three tiers and filled with a variety of books.

There are also signs on the shelves with the classification of the books.

Autumn words looked at the past row by row.

The library is very clean, it is cleaned every day, and the shelves are spotless.

"Third sister."

Qiu Zhi's slender fingers swept over the books, and suddenly she heard someone calling her.

She looked up and saw He Lingmo standing in front of another row of bookshelves.

He Lingmo is He Changwen's second son, the second son of Dongfu, only one year older than Qiu Ci, and he also played with her when he was a child.

It's just that later Qiu Ci was stupid, and the two didn't communicate again.

Qiu Ci nodded slightly, "Second cousin." ”

He Lingmo turned the bookshelf and strode over, with surprise in his eyes, "Third sister, it's really you." ”

The house said that the third sister was fine, but he had never seen her.

He knew that a smart and clever child like the third sister would definitely not break his brain.

He Lingmo is very happy, he has liked Qiu Ci since he was a child, and he likes this sister.

"It's me." Qiu Ci said with a smile, "Is the second cousin also looking for books?" ”

He Lingmo held a copy of "Pangong Travels" in his hand, and after listening to Qiu Ci's words, he subconsciously wanted to cover up the book in his hand.

If you don't read the Four Books or the Five Classics, you actually read a travelogue, and if He Changwen knows about it, you will have to be scolded again.

scolded him for not wanting to make progress, and only thinking about playing all day long.

He Lingmo didn't want people to see it.

"I'm just looking at it." He Lingmo smiled to hide his embarrassment, and then said quickly, "Third sister, are you looking for any books?" I can help you. ”

"No need, I'll just take a look." She said, as if she didn't see He Lingmo's dodge, "Second cousin, go get busy, don't worry about me." ”

As she spoke, she pulled a book from the shelf and looked down at it.

Seeing that she really started reading, He Lingmo didn't bother anymore, turned to another row of bookshelves, and put the travelogue in his hand back in its place.

He couldn't take these books back and read them, so he could only hide here and read them secretly.

If he takes it back and is discovered, not only will his father scold him, but even his eldest brother will talk about him, saying that he has done something unrealistic, and it is better to flip through "Spring and Autumn" and "Zuo Chuan" again when he has time.

But those books are really boring.

He Lingmo shook his head secretly.

It was quiet in the library, Ping'er sat on the side and took a nap, occasionally hearing the rustle of flipping books and the friction of the girl's skirt swinging as she walked.

Qiu Ci picked out a few books and walked to the door to register.

The Hou Mansion sent two small guards to take turns guarding the library pavilion, and if someone borrowed a book, it was enough to register.

When He Lingmo looked up, there was no trace of Qiu Ci.

………………………………

The rain has stopped, but the road is still a little slippery.

Ping'er hugged a stack of books and followed behind Qiu Ci, chattering and complaining, "Miss, this book is so heavy......"

"Why don't I get it?" Qiu Ji said.

Ping'er refused to let go, "No, no, no, how can I let Miss take it, if I am seen by Qinglan, I have to say that I am not big or small......"

Qiu Ci smiled, how afraid of Qinglan this girl is.

Hancui Pavilion.

He Qiuxue was grooming in the mirror, and a maid came to report.

"The third lady just came out of the library pavilion, and she borrowed a large stack of books." The maid said with her head down.

He Qiuxue's eyes flashed, "Oh, she really borrowed the book?" ”

"Yes, the book is held by Ping'er." The maid replied.

He Qiuxue still looked in the mirror, the girl in the mirror had white and tender skin, eyebrows like mountains, because she was still young, the baby fat on her face had not yet faded, which made her calm and a touch of delicate loveliness.

The girl in the mirror suddenly smiled, and said without turning her head, "Go and sue Miss Sù Five, just say that I asked her to go to the blue water pool to watch the fish." ”

The blue water pool, in the middle of the library pavilion and the Ding Xie Pavilion, is also the only way to go back and forth between the two places.

The maid bowed her head.

"Go and sue Miss Sù again, and Madame will look for her." He Qiuxue continued to command.
