"Sister, sister."

Early in the morning, Li Chunxing rushed into the backyard, regardless of whether Li Luan'er got up or not, pushed the door and went in.

Li Luan'er had just washed up and was grooming in the mirror, when she saw Li Chun smiling suddenly, she saw that Li Chun had pot ashes on his face, a tender face was black and gray, and the straw stick in his hair was even more funny.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Li Luan'er got up and took Wen Pazi to help Li Chun wipe his face, and asked Ruizhu to comb his hair.

Li Chun had a smile on his face, and the two dimples of the smile were deep, and he was even more cute: "My sister is going to entertain guests today?" I woke up early in the morning and made a lot of snacks, and my sister took them to someone's dinner. ”

"Okay." Li Luan'er nodded with a smile, and said to Li Chun: "Our family now has a cook, and my brother should be interested in cooking, and he can't stay in the kitchen every day." ”

"Listen to my sister." Li Chun was an obedient and well-behaved boy and nodded solemnly.

"Brother made good snacks, I'll ask someone to go to the kitchen to get some to prepare in a while, okay, brother hurry up and wash your face and comb your hair, and change these clothes, let's have breakfast together in a while." Li Luan'er coaxed Li Chun to send him away, hurriedly combed his hair, evened his face, and picked out a powder blue gauze skirt to change into, then Shi Shiran got up and asked someone to prepare breakfast in the hall.

After breakfast, he sent Ma Fang to take Li Chun out to play, and Ma Xiaoya came to say that the mother and daughter of the Gu family had come.

Li Luan'er and Mrs. Jin hurriedly greeted the second gate, but saw that the mother and daughter of the Gu family each brought a little girl, dressed very plainly, and walked over slowly with a smile on their faces.

Mrs. Jin pulled Mrs. Gu and said with a smile: "It's very time for us to visit your house, where did you think you would send a greeting post first." ”

Mrs. Gu pursed her lips and smiled for a while before she said, "In the future, we will all be neighbors, and we should interact with each other, so what will happen to whoever visits first and then visits." ”

Li Luan'er pulled Aunt Gu and asked with a smile: "My name is Luan'er, what is your name?" ”

Gu Xin lowered his head and smiled: "I have a single name, and my sister will call me Xin'er." ”

"Then you're welcome, Xin'er." Li Luan'er shouted with a smile, and looked at Mrs. Gu again: "The sun is really good today, and the pomegranate flowers in the backyard are also blooming, why don't we go to the backyard and enjoy the flowers while eating tea, I don't know what Mrs. thinks?" ”

Mrs. Gu praised: "This is a good idea, just in time for this good weather, if it is inevitable to be depressed in the house, it is better to take a break in the garden." ”

Gu Xin also said: "We just moved here, and we didn't take care of the garden, just to look at my sister's garden, we also did it." ”

Talking, a few people went straight to the back garden along the cobblestone path, Li Luan'er bought the first house is the gatehouse and the residence of the next person, and there is a cross-courtyard is a place to raise horses and feed livestock, the second is Li Chun's house, the second into is very spacious, although there is no cross-courtyard, but, there are five left and right wings, plus the courtyard is also planted with various colors of flowers and trees, and one side dug a pond to raise fish, look also elegant.

The third entry is the residence of the woman in the inner house, and now Li Luaner and Mrs. Jin live with a few girls, this house is smaller, but there is a west cross courtyard, the courtyard imitates the Jiangnan garden to make a garden, during which there is no shortage of rockeries and flowing water, pavilions and pavilions.

In the third courtyard, you will see the small five main rooms, plus three east wings, there should be a hugging building behind, but it is not clear to see, the courtyard is also very clean, there are several large tanks on both sides of the road filled with water, raising a full tank of water lilies, a grape trellis is set up in the east courtyard, the grape leaves of the full rack have been climbed, it looks very quiet, and the stone table and stone chair are placed under the shelf, it is a leisure place.

In the west courtyard, some fresh side vegetables are planted in the courtyard, which is different from the large families who plant many precious flowers, which makes this yard more idyllic.

"Your vegetables are neatly planted." Mrs. Gu looked as she walked: "These cucumbers are all blooming, and you will have to give me a taste of the small cucumbers in a few days." ”

"Nature." Mrs. Jin pointed to the little cabbage that had only grown on the ground: "This is just right to eat now, it is very tender, and there is no need to fry it. ”

"I'm going to have a taste for a while." Gu Xin looked yearning: "According to me, you don't need to pay so much attention to this cooking, it is steamed, boiled and fried, and the original flavor of the dish is lost, just like Mrs. said, a cover of boiling water, mixed with oil and salt, it is delicious." ”

"You're a eater." Mrs. Jin looked at Gu Xin with a smile: "Not only do you eat, but you can also dress up, look at the clothes you are wearing today, they are really tight." ”

"It's true." Li Luan'er also laughed and said: "I should also study hard with Sister Xin'er, otherwise I will be able to get out of the unkempt in the future." ”

Everyone laughed while passing a moon arch on the west wall, as soon as they passed this door, they felt a burst of coolness, and the cool breeze was blowing, and they saw several stout ancient trees planted in the courtyard, and there were several begonias and several peony flowers that had been defeated, and on the other side, sure enough, the pomegranate flowers were red and gorgeous, so that people liked it when they saw it.

Li Luan'er led the way, and the group crossed a small artificial lake and rested in a small pavilion built of thatched pomegranate flowers.

Ma Xiaoya took the two girls forward and put all kinds of refreshments on the table, Li Luan'er introduced with a smile: "We haven't been to the south either, and we don't know what the taste of Jiangnan is, so we can only make some pastries from the north, Mrs. and Sister Xin and try it." ”

She pointed to the petal-shaped dim sum in a thin white porcelain plate and said, "These are all made by my brother, I eat them well, this is called jujube flowers." ”

He also pointed to a few other pastries: "This is peach cake, this is chicken fat cake, this is butterfly roll, this is small oil cake." ”

Mrs. Gu tasted it: "It's rare, this dim sum is exquisitely made, and the taste is so good, Da Lang is a careful and ingenious person." ”

Li Luan'er pursed her lips and smiled: "My brother can't study, and he is too honest, I don't know what to ask him to do, fortunately, he still has this good craft, and the pastries and meals he makes taste good." ”

Gu Xin also tasted a few small dim sums, and praised them again and again: "We haven't eaten such good dim sum in the south, Brother Li is really good at craftsmanship." ”

Mrs. Jin said while making a sencha: "Xin'er is willing to eat, take more back when you leave, if Brother Chun knows that someone loves his food, I don't know what it will be like to be happy." ”

"You're welcome." Gu Xin is already coquettish, and he really likes these snacks, so naturally he doesn't shirk it.

Mrs. Gu also smiled and nodded, but she was thinking about what to give in return in the future.

A few people chatted while drinking tea, and after talking for a while, Li Luan'er took Gu Xin to the pond to pick some acacia flowers and play with strings, while Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Gu sat together and laughed.

Li Luan'er strung a bunch of acacia flowers, picked a pomegranate flower and put it on Gu Xin's side and said with a smile: "I'm wearing a blue dress today, it's not suitable to wear such a bright flower, but Sister Xin's pink is a good match." ”

Gu Xin took a picture of the water by the pool, and straightened the flower: "I think my sister is worthy of the hibiscus flower, it just so happens that some are planted in my backyard, and when the flowers bloom, I will invite my sister to come over to play." ”

"That's excellent." Li Luan'er clapped her hands and smiled, picked up a small pebble and threw it into the pond: "My sister's family was originally in Jiangnan, and her roots are also in Jiangnan, and the house in this capital has been idle for many years, why do you want to move to the capital now?" ”

Speaking of this, Gu Xin was a little embarrassed, lowered his head and frowned and thought for a while before whispering: "I only told my sister, my sister should not spread it." ”

Li Luan'er nodded: "Naturally, I won't go out and talk nonsense." ”

"Since I was a child, my father gave me a marriage, I was going to get married when I became an adult, how do I know that my father went early, our family has to keep filial piety, and I have waited until now, now I am a year older, my mother and brother are very anxious, plus the business in the south is a little unsmooth, my brother brought our family to the capital, one is to make some way, and second, there is also the meaning of calling me to marry in the capital."

As soon as Gu Xin finished saying this, Li Luan'er nodded to show that she understood: "So that's the case, which family are you engaged to?" I don't know. ”

"My sister should know, everyone in the capital probably knows his family, but his family is big, and he hasn't been in touch for so many years, and I don't know if this marriage can be done." As he spoke, Gu Xin had worry on his face: "My mother also talked about it before, but I only said that when my father died, his family didn't send anyone to take a look, or he disliked our family." ”

"How so." Li Luan'er comforted Gu Xin with gentle words: "Xin'er's sister looks so good, and there are thousands of family wealth in the family, who dares to dislike it." ”

"Alas!" Gu Xin sighed, and there was a taste of sorrow at the beginning of his youth: "No matter how rich he is, he is just a businessman, but his family is the family of Zaifu, my sister should know something, and the one who is engaged to me is the gentleman's family." ”

"His house?" Li Luan'er was taken aback and blurted out: "That's really hard to say." ”

Gu Xin was even more startled: "How can my sister say this?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." Li Luan'er smiled and mixed up: "I just heard you say that I haven't been in contact for so many years, I'm afraid that the relationship between the two families has faded, and besides, in the end, it's the Xianggong family, I'm afraid it's ...... Forget it, let's not talk about that. ”

Gu Xin saw that Li Luan'er wanted to speak and stopped, so she knew that there must be an accident, but Li Luan'er didn't say anything, and she couldn't ask about it, so she could only suppress her doubts in her heart, bow her head and play with the flowers in her hand silently, and then asked, "How did my sister's family move to the capital?" ”

Li Luan'er smiled, pulled Gu Xin to get up, moved to the willow tree on the side, folded a few willow branches and said while weaving a flower basket: "For my sister-in-law, the official family ascended the throne and accepted my sister-in-law into the palace as a concubine. ”

"Then congratulations to my sister." Gu Xin laughed when he heard this: "Sister Ling is afraid that she has an outstanding appearance, otherwise how can the official family look at it, now that the official harem is empty, even the queen has never entered the palace, and Ling Mei is afraid that she will be the first one as soon as she enters the palace." ”

"I really didn't think about that." Li Luan'er shook her head: "I didn't plan to call her into the palace, I just wanted to find her a family with no worries about food and clothing, and she could live in peace. ”

Gu Xin listened with envy on his face: "My sister's family relationship is really good, Ling Mei is really blessed, with a sister like you who loves people." ”RS
