The whole day of the second day, Zijuan and Snow Goose kept looking forward to it, but the tooth woman did not come, and on the third day, she waited for another day, but the woman still did not come. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info coincided with Aunt Ye's brother who didn't know where to get the news, and asked someone to bring a letter to let her go home for a few days, but Aunt Ye had no choice but to talk to Daiyu.

She said: "In the early years, because of family difficulties, I was sold to be a girl and an aunt. Lucky to meet the master, they found out and kept writing letters to ask for money, saying that it was for their parents. Now that the two old men have long passed away, and they have cut off correspondence for many years, I don't know what the reason is this time? ”

Daiyu smiled and comforted her: "It's always good to have a brother here, so my aunt can go back and have a look." It's the winter solstice again, so it's time to add soil to pay tribute. ”

Aunt Ye wiped her tears, answered, and turned back to pack her things. A few silver hairpins were kept for gifting, some old clothes that were not worn very well, a few changes of clothes and supplies, and two boxes of vegetarian powder. Daiyu asked Zijuan to bring Aunt Ye a few horses of Su Jin, as well as ten silver tickets of twenty taels and one taels, a total of two hundred taels of silver; Two strings of loose money, a dozen taels of broken silver were kept for spending on the road, and he ordered the kitchen to make tea and fruit snacks, keep them for eating on the road, and go to select people as guards.

Aunt Ye was originally sad, seeing that Daiyu was busy commanding, she suddenly burst into tears and laughed, and hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't be busy, it's not far from here, and you will be there in a carriage for half a day." ”

It turned out that Aunt Ye was from Suzhou, and her mother's home was on the edge of Taihu Lake not far from here. Daiyu said: "If you can't finish eating on the road, it's good to take it back and scatter people." ”

Zijuan immediately took out a string of money from the box and asked Song'er to take the money to buy some snacks and snacks on the street. What jujube paste sesame cake, sesame halva, lard hibiscus crisp, pine nut yellow thousand cake, rose white sesame halva, Taibai La cake, mint cake, red bean cake, sock bottom cake, Ruyi crisp, Songhua dumplings, Song'er bought a pack of various colors, and let the guy from the pastry shop follow behind and send it over.

Aunt Ye just smiled, looking at the purple juan and snow geese, you and I cleaned up, Daiyu sat on a high-legged chair by the window, and she was also smiling and watching them toss. Aunt Ye smiled and said, "Zijuan and Snow Goose, you two girls, do you dare to go to the countryside with me?" ”

Xue Yan smiled and said: "What don't you dare, the place where my aunt grew up is not a tiger's den, what are we afraid of!" I just don't know what fun places to go in Aunt Ye's hometown? ”

Aunt Ye said: "What fun can there be, that is, fishing in all seasons, picking lotus pods and water chestnuts in summer, what is there to be fun?" There is only one piece, when it comes to the end of the year, there is a large piece of plum blossoms blooming at the foot of the mountain on the edge of the lake, the snow is white and fragrant, and the locals call it Xiangxue Sea. At this time, the Panxiang Temple of the Xuan Tomb on the peninsula by the lake is full of pilgrims, and it is very lively. Unfortunately, now is not the time. ”

Daiyu listened to the "Xuan Tomb Panxiang Temple", and was a little puzzled, as if she had heard it somewhere. So he asked Aunt Ye: "According to Aunt Ye, it can be seen that this temple must be a big temple, but what kind of monks live in?" ”

Aunt Ye replied: "The old nun in the temple heard that praying for children is very spiritual, and it is only lively once a year when the plum blossoms bloom. The land in the temple was rented to nearby fishermen to plant, and some plum preserves and plum wine were made and sold in the shop. I also ate it when I was a child, but it was sweet and sour, nothing special. ”

"According to me, my aunt brought back some of these things, so bring some of the fruit preserves and fruit wine from the temple back to us to taste." Snow Goose said. Aunt Ye responded with a smile. Outside, the housekeeper's second son, Lin Chengcheng, set up a carriage, and two other guards escorted him along the way. Aunt Ye took her little girl and got into the carriage, Zijuan and Xueyan helped her put everything on the carriage and put it in place, and Aunt Ye told her to take care of Daiyu carefully several times before reluctantly putting down the curtain. Snow Goose and Zijuan stood at the door and watched for a moment before turning back to the house.

As soon as Aunt Ye left with a few people, there were fewer people in the courtyard, and Daiyu told Song'er to close the gate. Who knew that after noon, someone came to knock on the door again. Shan'er, who was guarding the door with Song'er, opened the door and saw that it was a forty or fifty-year-old woman with a snow-white lead powder face and a red jacket and green pants. I saw that the woman had two clusters of red and bright rouge on her cheeks, and she had a big mouth of blood, a bright red silk flower on her head, and her body was exceptionally fat. It was Qian Yapo who came over with the embroiderer.

Shan'er used to guard the door in Yangzhou, where had she seen such a person, she wrinkled her nose at the moment and asked, "What are you doing?" Qian Yapo hurriedly said: "The house said two days ago that he wanted to embroider the girl, and he had already asked another little brother to hand over the embroidery to live in, and now he has brought people." As he spoke, he gave way to the side and let the people behind him come.

Shan'er leaned her neck, and then she saw that the person she brought was dressed in a different way, with a white-washed cyan jacket on her upper body, and a Hunan skirt, the same white-washed hair; He was very thin, his hair was tied in a wooden hairpin, he was wrapped in a small cloth in his hand, and his exposed hands were red from the cold.

Shan'er said "wait", but still closed the door, went back to the yard to ask Xue Yan, Xue Yan said: "I originally said that I would send someone in a day or two, Miss and Sister Zijuan have been waiting for three days, let her come in." Shan'er got the answer, so she went outside the gate to spread the word: "Come in!" ”

Qian Yapo answered, her face was full of laughter, and she hurriedly raised her legs and was about to go to the door. It happened that Song'er came over from the foyer and said, "Just let the embroidery girl in, you can wait outside!" Qian Yapo's face was full of ridicule, so she had to retreat, and said with a smile: "Yan Niang go in, whether it is successful or not, I will wait for the letter outside." Yanniang nodded, and Song'er led the way to the yard.

When I entered the courtyard, I saw that the decorations were plain: autumn fragrance, bamboo green, moon white, blue after rain, and there was no bright color in the usual home. After passing through a large shadow wall and a porch, you will come to the inner courtyard. Seeing that Song'er was in front of her, Zijuan led a woman she had never seen before, and hurriedly said to Daiyu and Xue Yan: "It's here!" ”

Daiyu put the book aside, and the snow geese stopped teasing the parrot in the cage under the porch. Song'er led Yanniang to the door of the inner courtyard, and the little girl Pei'er said, "Come with me!" "Led Yan Niang to the main hall.

Pei'er lifted the curtain, a warm air came with a light floral fragrance, Yan Niang lowered her head and stepped into the threshold, holding the package in her hand, nervous and at a loss. Listen to the little girl who led the way: "This is our master, the eldest lady of the former Yangzhou Salt Patrol Imperial History Mansion." She dared to raise her head. I saw a teenage girl sitting on the chair next to the desk on the east side, wearing a pearl-colored jacket with a stone blue skirt, a pair of plain brocade shoes decorated with a few pink pearls the size of a fingernail, and a snow fox fur wrapped outside, which looked a little weak. Next to him were two girls, one about fifteen or sixteen years old, wearing an aqua blue jacket and skirt; The other girl, about twelve or thirteen years old, wore a bea-green skirt, and was looking at her curiously.
