After serving Shi Yuan to eat, Brother Ying and Ruyan took leave and said that they would go to the laundry room to see their sister. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Ruyan nodded, "It's a holiday, the family should be together, just right, I have a small purse here, embroidered a few days ago, I dislike the color is too bright, I can't bring it, you take it by the way, give it to your sister to play, she is a child, she should like fresh color things." As he spoke, he took out a small purse with willow buds and green cloud brocade in the cabinet, pinched the peach-colored teeth, and embroidered a tender yellow narcissus on it, and the embroidery was delicate and lovely.
Brother Ying looked at it in his hand for a long time, although it was not a precious thing, but a stitch and a thread, all hand-embroidered, the effort can be imagined, "Sister, she used it there as a child, and it was ruined for her, so my sister kept it for other sisters." ”
Ruyan smiled, "Take it, my craftsmanship is not comparable to Ruyan and Fengxi, but I can handle it anyway, if even you dislike it, I can't say it." ”
Brother Ying thanked and thanked him again and again, and put it away.
Coming out of Songbai Hall, Brother Ying turned around and went to Longxiang Garden, and came to the house where he used to live, and happened to be there, and when he saw Brother Ying coming in, he hurriedly jumped down from the bed, "I'm waiting for you." ”
Brother Ying smiled, "Wait for me, how did you know I was coming?" ”
Wu'er smiled so much that Mimi's eyes widened, "Before lunch, Sister Xiangyue asked me to leave a single mooncake for you, saying that you want to give it away, and tell me to be ready to wait for you to come." As he spoke, he pulled out a boxy package from under the bed table, "No, it's all ready for you." I'll give you one more, and I can't eat my own portion, so I'll give it all to you. ”
"That's not good, your family has a large population, you want to ask someone to send it to your home, why did you give it to me, I just have a sister, how big her belly is, she can eat these, hurry up, take out your share." As he spoke, he hurriedly unwrapped the package.
Wu'er grabbed her hand, "Sister, don't be busy, I can't send it out now, the gate and the second gate are sealed." As he spoke, he glanced out and whispered, "Sister doesn't know yet, there is a big incident in the backyard, the girl in the eldest lady's house drugged Aunt Qiu Zhen, and almost didn't die, even the general was angry, saying that the eldest lady was not strict in governing the family." The eldest lady can't do it, this morning in front of the owners of the house, personally interrogated the girl, unexpectedly, the girl actually pushed the matter to the young grandmother, and did death and life, crying and making a fuss, the eldest lady had no choice, and finally locked up in the firewood room, I don't know what happened to this matter. It was just one morning, in An Rong Hall, and the sky was overturned. Now there are people watching the gate and the second gate, a person is not allowed to enter and exit, and if he takes it, he will be judged as a thief, at this time, who dares to send things outside. ”
Brother Ying asked curiously, "What do you say, why is it involved in the young grandmother?" "The daughter-in-law can actually participate in the affairs of the public house, this is ...... Lenovo is too bad.
Wu'er hesitated, "I also heard that this is not accurate." ”
Seeing her embarrassed look, Brother Ying also wanted to ask her more, so he quickly changed the topic, "Ignore her, it has nothing to do with us." I'm going to the laundry in a moment, you go for a walk, it's just not much fun there. ”
When Wu'er heard this, she smiled again, "Go and go, I hold back in the yard all day, it's so boring, I went to the laundry room last time to see Xiaoque, and the two of us said it was good." I just miss her, if you don't say it, I'll go see her too. ”
Wu'er hugged the burden and came out of Longxiang Garden with Brother Ying. In normal times, you can see the girls in the houses dressed up everywhere in the garden, but there is no one quietly all the way today. On the way, I just bumped into a few housekeeper mothers with serious faces, and both of them cleverly avoided and walked over.
When I arrived at the laundry room, it was no different from when Brother Ying left a month ago, the yard was full of clothes to dry, and five or six women were washing the curtains in the house. Aunt Zhuang is directing the two little girls to carry the bucket.
I didn't see the birds.
Brother Ying took Wu'er and went directly to Aunt Zhuang, "Auntie, I'm here." ”
"Yo," Aunt Zhuang was overjoyed when she saw Brother Ying, and hurriedly wiped her hands on the placket of her clothes, and came over to hold Brother Ying, "Good boy, why are you here at this time, I also told Xiaoque yesterday that I might be able to come out after the festival, why do I have time today?" ”
"My sister in the yard gave me half a day off and brought me some mooncakes made in the big kitchen. This is the five children in our yard, who came to play with the little finch, where is the little finch? ”
Wu'er obediently saluted Aunt Zhuang, "Aunt Zhuang is good." ”
"Ouch, this kid is really good, I wasn't there the last time you came, and Xiaoque told me about you." He turned back to look at Brother Ying, "I haven't seen you for more than a month, and you are also out of breath, looking at the flesh on your face, and you look taller." ”
"Auntie, I've only been there for a month, how can I grow so fast, it can really scare people - it's true that I have grown meat. Where is the little finch? ”
"Ouch, look at my age, I'm talking nonsense, the little bird is in that courtyard, she doesn't have to guard the stove to boil water, the white lady has arranged a good job for her, I'll take you over."
In a yard next to the laundry room, the little finch was watering a large field of blooming purple roses in a garden with a kettle. A few young people chatted while taking a white jade pestle and tinkering with something in the stone mortar.
When Xiaoque saw Brother Ying coming in, she hurriedly put down the kettle, flew to Brother Ying's side like a bird, and hugged her at once, "Sister, I miss you so much, why did you come." As he spoke, his eyes turned red, "I dream of you every day, I dream that you are gone, and tell me that I will be fine alone, and I don't want me anymore." ”
Brother Ying asked her to say, and she couldn't help but have a sour nose and hot eyes, "Dreams are all reversed, didn't I come to see you, you see, Wu'er and I also brought you delicious food, how did I tell you before, don't cry." As he spoke, he glanced in the direction of the little ones, who were also looking this way, wondering what was going on.
Wu'er came from behind, "Xiaoque, didn't see what happened to me, the last time I came, my sister was long and my sister was short, and when I had my own sister, I forgot my godsister." It's a shame that I came to see you. ”
Xiaoque hurriedly let go of Brother Ying and came over to take her hand, "Sister Wu'er, I was wrong. ”
"Kidding you. We brought you mooncakes, made in the big kitchen, and the ones sold on the street can't be compared. Aunt Zhuang also tasted it. Wu'er said, put the package on the stone table in the courtyard, opened the package, there was a wooden food box inside, uncovered the lid, and it was full of all kinds of moon cakes, as delicate as pastries, not big, almost the size of a mouthful, round and square, rich aroma, all of a sudden. Even Brother Ying couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "It's so fragrant." ”
A few little ones over there also stretched out their heads to look this way, they were all eleven or twelve-year-old children, and they had no resistance to delicious things.
"Who are they?" Brother Ying asked the little finch in a low voice.
Xiaoque has one in his left hand and one in his right hand, and one is still stuffed in his mouth, "The white lady wants to make rouge, let them help." Summoned from outside the second gate. ”
Brother Ying beckoned to them, "You guys also rest for a while, come over and eat mooncakes." ”
At first, they looked at each other, no one moved, Aunt Zhuang pulled over a child, forced him to give him a piece, he tasted it, nodded, "Well, it's delicious, you guys come to eat too." ”
The other children slowly came over, and one of them took a piece and ate it happily.
"You eat slowly, I'll go out and stew you a good pot of tea." Aunt Zhuang turned around and went out first.
Brother Ying found a stone pier to sit down, pulled the little bird to talk, and asked her how she was doing these days and whether the white lady had bullied her.
Xiao Que was happy to eat, and said with a smile, "Haven't you seen my sister, she has been kind to me recently, and arranged a light thing for me to do, water these flowers every day, and then pick the petals down, and give them a few mortars to grind into a pulp, so that they can make rouge." Wait until the fall, and then arrange other jobs for me. ”
Brother Ying noticed that the little bird looked much better than before, and the smoky clothes had also changed, and he was wearing a coarse cloth clothes, but he was a lot cleaner, and he looked a little fatter, not the same as before.
"After a while, you can pack a few pieces of the remaining moon cakes and send them to her, so that she will not embarrass you. Sister, I can't take care of you for the time being, and when I have a good opportunity in the future, my sister will definitely let you live a good life and not be angry here. ”
"Sister, it's fine now, I just miss you." As he spoke, the little finch had red circles again.
Seeing Xiao Que like this, Brother Ying was also anxious, "Xiao Finch, bear with me a little longer, and wait for me to find a way to let our sisters be in one place." ”
"Sister, don't worry about me, I'll be here well, they said that the hearts of the people inside are broken, you have to be careful." Xiaoque didn't forget to fill his mouth with something, and at the same time, he was still worried about Brother Ying.
The two sisters were talking here, Aunt Zhuang came back with a teapot, beckoned Wu'er and the children to drink tea, Aunt Zhuang poured tea and brought it to them, "If you have anything to say slowly, come over and drink tea first." ”
Wu'er is chatting with the little ones, the little ones are all children, sometimes spread a message or something, and often go to the backyard, seeing that the girls in each room are not very restrained, Wu'er is also a joker, a few people are eating and talking happily.
Wu'er also beckoned the two sisters to come over and listen to the story.
"What's new? I'll listen to it too. After Aunt Zhuang sat down, she asked a child with slender eyebrows and eyes.
The child took a sip of tea, pretended to be old, and said calmly, "This is not a joke, my cousin, who has followed the second young master to the army, he told me, saying that in the north of our Great Zhou Kingdom, there is an ice and snow plain, where there is heavy snow all year round, and the glaciers are frozen all year round, only a group of savages live there, eating raw meat, drinking blood, ice and snow, no clothes or cold, skin is rough like iron sheets, and when a war starts, the sword does not enter the ......"
Wu'er couldn't help but interject, "Isn't that a monster?" ”
"It's almost, you think about it, that layer of skin is exposed and frozen all day long, it has long been the same as a stone, they look at the Central Plains region well, the four seasons are distinct, they would have wanted to invade the Central Plains, if it weren't for the Tiger Head General defending on the side of Broken World, they would have fought a long time ago. But now there is news that some of them have put on their clothes and secretly lurked in the Central Plains, and when the opportunity arises, they will unite with other barbarians and join forces with the outside to invade the Central Plains in one fell swoop......"
"So what do we do?"
