Chapter 12: Turning the Face

Before I entered the door, there was a 'rustling' sound, which sounded weird!

Miss Ji Qi looked at Ji Qianxia out of the corner of her eye, peeking at her reaction. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Ji Qianxia listened to the rustling sound, listened to the taste of mulberry leaves, argued, and then recalled the daily life of modern life, and there was an answer in the paste.

The room has no partitions and is large and bright. One wall is lined with bookshelves filled with old or half-used books.

There was a small piano on the desk by the window, and a small green incense burner.

Local round tables filled with seasonal fruits and delicate pastries. The scent of books and flowers filled the house.

Looking at this furnishing style, Miss Ji Qi still has a bit of aesthetic taste. I don't know if she decorated it.

"Fourth sister, look." Ji Yincao had already picked up a flat round bamboo plate on the table as if he was offering a treasure, and beckoned with a cheerful smile: "Look, the babies are fat and white, right?" ”

Ji Qianxia took a closer look.

Sure enough, it's silkworms. It is the time to eat mulberry leaves to eat fat and white, there are always a dozen, sticking to the green mulberry leaves, and the color lining is quite eye-catching.

There is no scream in the accident to scare the white face, only a calm look like looking at ordinary things. Miss Ji Qi's smiling face retracted.

Ji Qianxia 'groaned' in her heart, bit her tongue lightly, and remembered Yi Ying's words, the fourth lady was afraid of insects. Silkworms are insects too! It's still greasy......

"Oops!" Ji Qianxia raised his hand after realizing it, pretending to be afraid.

And her raised hand hit the bottom of the flat round bamboo plate, and without any suspense, she buckled it towards Miss Ji Qi's face.

"Ahh This turn Miss Ji screamed in shock.

The mothers-in-law and girls at the bottom hurriedly took away the silkworm plate. There are a few white fat silkworms that are still tenaciously sticking to Miss Ji Qi's eyebrows, nose and upper lip.

"Ahhh Miss Ji trembled and jumped and screamed.

It's one thing to raise silkworms, but it's another thing for silkworms to climb on their faces!

Taking advantage of the chaos in the house, Ji Qianxia hid out of the door and stood under the porch to breathe and look at the layout of the garden.

The garden is not large, but the flowers and trees are well arranged, small and delicate. Adapt to the living of the little girl's family.

"Miss ......," said in a low voice, "Miss Seven doesn't really like silkworm farming. ”

"Oh?" Ji Qianxia didn't understand it yet, and frowned: "Then why did she raise it?" Suddenly woke up: she was raised to scare her to play!

Yi Ying secretly glanced into the room and said in a low voice, "It's the slave who was negligent." A few days ago, I vaguely heard my mother-in-law say that Miss Seven was raising silkworms and playing, just because she was a child, but I didn't expect ......"

Unexpectedly, she wanted to invite Ji Qianxia to admire.

Ji Qianxia couldn't hide it anymore, and asked directly: "How afraid of insects used to be?" ”

Yi Ying glanced at each other, hid the doubts in their hearts, and replied truthfully: "If you scream and run wildly, you will faint if you are heavy." ”

So serious? So afraid of bugs? Ji Qianxia put away her surprise, turned her head to look at Miss Ji Qi, who was crying and crying in the room, who was helped out by the girl, and smiled without smiling: "Seventh sister, are you okay?" ”

"You, did you do it on purpose?" Miss Ji Qi didn't achieve her goal and turned her face on the spot.

"What the seventh sister said, I don't understand." Ji Qianxia spread his hands and said innocently: "Didn't the seventh sister kindly invite me to eat and have fun?" What did I deliberately do? ”

Miss Ji Qi's face became more round with anger, and she stomped her feet: "You deliberately lifted the silkworm plate in my face." I told Daddy to go. ”

"Hehe, Seventh Sister, you really know how to spew blood. Didn't you see that I was scared by you and accidentally touched the silkworm plate? Ji Qianxia stopped in front of her with an arrow, stared condescendingly, and said with a cold face: "Okay, let's go and confront each other." Who in this house doesn't know that I'm afraid of insects, not only do you not avoid the point, but lead me to see the silkworm baby, what is the intention? ”

Miss Ji Qi is only an eight-year-old baby. Although she is usually cunning and cunning, she stared at her with such an elongated face, and she didn't dare to meet her eyes.

"You, you nonsense! I, I'm kind! Just go. Who does Daddy believe? Miss Ji Qi's heart was weak.

Ji Qianxia lifted the hem of her skirt and walked out of the courtyard as soon as she turned her head.

"Hey......" Miss Ji Qi didn't expect her to be so decisive. For a while, it was messed up.

If she really wants to sue and confront her on the spot, she is the one who is at fault. However, she did not suffer. She is the youngest, and Bao Guogong loves her again, at most she can't do it.

Thinking of this, Miss Ji Qi gritted her teeth and followed.

Ji Qianxia didn't want to expand such a trivial matter, he just wanted to find an opportunity to meet his titular father, Baoguo Gongji Zhixun.

Bao Guogong is not at home.

It lasted until the evening, and Bao Guogong came back drunk.

I only washed my face in the Cun'an Pavilion where Mrs. Di lived, briefly explained the matter of the festival of tomorrow, and went to the house of the Hua family with his feet.

In the evening, the Bai family did not come, and Ji Qianxia's 'three questions' did not come to fruition. She's not in a hurry either, take her time.

……

On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Baoguo Mansion hangs calamus wormwood, wears incense bags, prepares sacrifices to ancestors, prepares realgar wine, eats five poison cakes, salted eggs and all kinds of zongzi. The Son of Heaven in the capital also enjoyed with the people, driving a small dragon boat to swim in the Honghe River that runs through the north and south. It attracted the people to compete for it.

Relatives and friends also gave each other summer clothes. Mrs. Di was busy flying up early in the morning, preparing summer clothes and gifts for her parents' house, and several more iron-clad families also had to put the gifts in place.

And in the suburbs of Honghe, there is also a lively and celebratory dragon boat race.

Just after the hour, the Baoguo Mansion was ready to set off for Katsuzenji Temple.

Mrs. Ji was quiet and sick, so she naturally stayed. Bao Guogong wanted to watch the dragon boat race, and handed it over to the eldest son and the second son to take the family to protect his wife and a group of girls to go out.

The Xie family in the second master's mansion took Ji Yirong and her cousins to Shengshan Temple to play.

In this way, the eight young ladies of the Baoguo Gongji Mansion, led by Mrs. Di, rushed to Katsuzenji Temple in a carriage.

Ji Qianxia was very excited, like a bird in a cage being released to breathe, sitting in the carriage, quietly lifting the bamboo curtain by the window to peek at the street scenery.

Sitting with her was Ji Yirong, shaking a round fan in her hand, naturally resting on the armrest of the seat cushion, and laughing at her: "Look at your happiness, I don't know that you think you are a hillbilly who just entered the city?" ”

Ji Qianxia smiled silently.

If you don't look at it, you don't know it, but the flow of people on the street is very amazing. I feel that people from all over the capital are pouring out to play collectively.

The sound of selling and acrobatics is not mentioned, and a bunch of chasing and slapping children have the word king painted on their foreheads, their hands tied with colorful silk, and they run through with a smile in tiger skin shoes. The stalls are going to be set up on the main road. There are those who sell wormwood, those who sell fragrant purses, those who sell fragrant dumplings, and those who sell all kinds of seasonal fruits and flowers. In short, the bustling and busy level is not inferior to that of a modern metropolis.

Because today there are not only royal ships swimming in the city, but also dragon boat races in the suburbs, so there are many people who go out of the city. Cause a certain amount of traffic jams.

The convoy of the Baoguo Mansion finally squeezed out of the city gate, and who knew that there were many good men and women who went to Shengshan Temple to worship the Buddha and worship the holy monks. The carriage could not be driven at a high speed, so it could only slowly blend in with the believers.
