At seven o'clock in the evening, dinner was prepared in the kitchen, and the old mother brought it back. The pen %fun %www.biquge.info because I think about the tiring day, the girl's stomach is weak, so the dishes are mainly vegetarian and relatively light, among which the winter melon and barley pork rib soup is especially suitable for love.

After Huizhen finished dinner in the main room, he went back to the east chamber where he lived. Aizhen had no intention of reviewing her homework, so she flipped out a magazine and leaned it on the Luohan bed, the lights were on in the room, and she casually flipped through the interesting articles in it to pass the time.

After reading it for a long time, I finally felt bored, so I put down the magazine, put on my coat and walked out of the house.

The heavy rain extinguished a lot of the initial heat and cooled it outside at night.

She walked to the window of the east wing and saw Hui Zhen sitting at the desk, reciting an English dictionary with her eyes closed, looking very serious, so she didn't bother her, but walked out of the courtyard.

With the heart of walking, Aizhen vaguely remembered where the west gate of the big garden of the Xiang Mansion was, so he walked there slowly.

Just when Fang walked out of the corridor in front of the courtyard gate, the two maids who patrolled the courtyard saw her. The maid wanted to accompany Ai Zhen, but she refused.

Ai Zhen took advantage of this and asked them for a flashlight.

Although there are lamps under the eaves of the house, the yellow and clear clouds in the dark are actually limited, so there is no need to worry about not being able to see the road.

Disappointingly, when she searched for the gate of the garden, she saw that it had been closed with a brass lock.

Looking around, she couldn't see anyone, she tried to reach out and push the door, but was surprised to find that it could be pushed open. It turned out that the lock was only hung on the door, and it was not actually locked.

Ai Zhen shook the flashlight, and there was no light in the garden, but the light outside the wall could be cast in, so she was not afraid.

Walking on the path, the fragrance of plants and flowers enters the nose, and sometimes a breeze blows, which makes people feel refreshed.

Before she knew it, she was about to stop and turned back, but suddenly saw a girl dressed as a girl. She almost doubted that she was dazzled, but she looked at it again, but it was not a girl with braids sitting on a rockery with her knees crossed.

In the dead of night, Ai Zhen almost thought that she had encountered some scene in a strange novel, but when the girl raised her head and looked at her in surprise, she finally remembered that she seemed to have seen this girl's face today.

The girl stood up in a daze, first subconsciously glanced behind her hurriedly, and then stepped forward and begged her: "Third Miss, my mother is watching the garden, I secretly came here tonight to relax, and I begged Third Miss to be merciful, don't tell others." ”

Ai Zhen nodded, and from the girl's movement of turning back, she noticed a strange sound behind her, it was the sound of the branches rubbing, and the girl's panting.

She wondered in her heart, could someone be climbing a tree?

"You little girl, sneaky, scared me."

She fixed her gaze on the girl's face, intending to see what was going on.

didn't wait for the girl to reply, but a low-pitched shout came from the direction that the girl cared about: "Narcissus, Narcissus, come and pick up the fruit!" ”

This sentence immediately dispelled the question of love.

Narcissus must be the name of this girl, she is helping the fruit thief Wangfeng.

Aizhen became more curious, so she pulled out her feet and walked in that direction, Narcissus was anxious when she saw this, and she didn't dare to stop her, so she could only follow her and begged: "Good miss, we are just greedy, please be pitiful and pitiful, don't tell others." ”

Narcissus is usually clever, and can see that this third lady who has returned from Shanghai has a modern life, and has received a new education, and it is said that she is still studying in a school run by the Christian church, so she must not be harsh on these handmaidens, so she has some expectations in her heart.

As she pleaded, Ai Zhen walked over in a few steps, and found that there were two old plum trees planted there, and a girl was climbing on the tree to pick plums, and there were several in her clothes.

Hearing the sound of talking and footsteps, the girl turned her head and realized that she had been caught, and was stunned on the spot.

At first glance, she felt that the girl who picked the fruit was familiar, and after looking at it twice, Ai Zhen realized that this girl was the one who sent a message to her and Hui Zhen to meet Guan Wu's family.

Narcissus hurriedly called: "Cinnamon, don't hurry down yet!" ”

Cinnamon is nimble, holding the placket of the plum in one hand, hanging on the thick branch next to it with the other hand, and jumping down from the tree with a slanted kick of the foot. When he arrived in front of Aizhen, he made a blessing and couldn't speak.

Ai Zhen smiled: "You are here in the middle of the night, if it is not me who bumps into you tonight, but someone else, then I don't know if you will be punished." ”

Narcissus turned the cinnamon with her elbow and thanked her: "Thank you, Miss San, you are really a bodhisattva, you are compassionate, and you will definitely be blessed and live a long life in the future!" Seeing that the third lady was not angry in her words, Narcissus was secretly happy in her heart, but she was really nervous, and she couldn't think of any beautiful words for a while, so she had to temporarily snatch two sentences from her stomach.

"Thank you, Miss Three." Yu Gui took a turn and immediately echoed that she was obviously not as good as Narcissus, showing her simplicity and simplicity.

Aijin was amused by Narcissus's words and said, "You are going to praise me to heaven." ”

Yu Gui was still holding a bag of plums, as if she had suddenly woken up, and said to her, "Miss, you take one and taste it, this plum is the top and the first to ripen, and we have never eaten it before." ”

Ai Zhen reached out and took one, but when she held it in her hand, she didn't know how to put it down. "This ...... How do you eat this? ”

"Like this." Yu Gui picked up a plum, wiped it on her sleeve, and brought it to her mouth, and bit it down.

Although the plum is already red, it is precocious, so the flesh is still very crisp, and the sound is appetizing.

Narcissus saw that Cinnamon actually ate it first in front of the young lady, so he pushed her, "Why is it so unruly, the first one has to be left for the third lady, don't you know." While smiling at Aizhen, "Third Miss, don't worry about it, this girl is from the countryside, and there are no rules." ”

"Don't worry." She also learned from the cinnamon, rubbed the plum carefully on the sleeve, and took a bite, and suddenly her back teeth were so sore that she was about to fall out. It can be chewed in the mouth, sour and sweet. Especially the plum skin, when she used to eat apricot plums, the servants would peel the skin first, this time even the belt meat, eating this is not fully ripe plums, it feels better than the ones she has ever eaten, there is a different taste.

Seeing that Yugui finished eating the plums in two bites, Aizhen greeted Narcissus: "You can eat it too, don't be restrained, I look like a person with a bad temper, not to mention that this is the fruit you picked, and I am the one who eats it." ”

Narcissus hesitated: "Then, then I'll eat it, thank you Miss San." ”

Yu Guiyuan only picked three plums, and Ai Zhen and each of them shared one by one, which happened to be divided equally. After a while, several people had solved all the plums in their hands, and Narcissus spread out his hands diligently, and said, "Miss, you put the kernel in my hand, and I will throw it out later, in case it is thrown out in the garden, it will not be good." ”

"Plum kernels are not so easy, and they don't sprout so quickly." Cinnamon Road.

Narcissus glanced at her, "As long as you know more, it's okay." ”

Ai Zhen said: "How old are you all this year? Where to be on an errand? ”

Narcissus smiled and said: "Back to the third miss, I am fourteen this year, because my mother is a cook, I do chores on the stove." ”

"I'm thirteen years old, I don't have any serious errands, I just follow my aunt." Cinnamon Road.

Narcissus quickly explained: "Her aunt is Mother Xu next to the old lady, have you already seen it, Miss?" ”

After a few people finished eating the fruit, Aizhen had no intention of reproaching them, and Narcissus and Cinnamon did not dare to say that they would pick it again, so they ran away with her. When they left the garden, they parted.

When Aizhen returned to the main room, she saw Huizhen waiting in the house, and when she entered the door, she covered her mouth and yawned, got up, and asked curiously: "Third sister, I came to look for you just now, but I didn't see anyone, and after waiting for a quarter of an hour, the old mother said that you went to the garden." ”

"I just saw that you memorized words seriously, so I didn't say a word to you." Aizhen smiled, "Look at you are sleepy, ask the old mothers to carry the bathtub and wash up quickly." ”

Hui Zhen said: "You don't need to say it, I already ordered them." ”

She sat down and only listened to Hui Zhen ask: "Third sister, why did you say that Cousin Cheng Qian of the fifth cousin's family today is so interesting, and when he says a word, his face will turn red." ”

"I think people are born like that, and such an honest person also has his benefits." She said, "But the fifth cousin came to visit us today as soon as we came back, so I was too anxious, and in terms of etiquette, it was not very appropriate." ”

"I also think," Hui Zhen smiled, "but I heard that the Guan family's factory was not in a good situation some time ago, is there such a thing?" ”

Ai Zhen said: "I didn't hear the fourth cousin of the Guan family mention it, who did you listen to?" I remember that when she wasn't on summer vacation, she seemed to go to Fei Juanjuan's brother's party, she used to be very annoying to that person, and she didn't like to deal with him. The Fei Juan in her mouth is her classmate, and her family is also a businessman with rich assets. Her parents only have two children, her and her brother, so they are especially fond of their children.

Hui Zhen said: "Don't care who you listen to, in short, that's it!" Fei Juan and his brother are full of infatuation, whether the fourth cousin agrees to fall in love with the same family or not, and he can't get up or down. Our fourth cousin of the Guan family is the same as her mother, and she has the best chances. ”

Guan Si's cousin, who is studying in Shanghai, was born by the second wife of the Guan family, and the second Mrs. Guan is a shrewd person, and she was most keen to go to Mrs. Xiang's side to have fun in the past.

"Ignore her. Fei Juan had a fight with her last week, and Guan Si's cousin taught me to ask Juan out for dinner. I didn't agree, she was not happy at the time, and she said a few cold words to me. "Love the truth.

The old mother had already carried the utensils and bathtub into the room, and said to Huizhen: "Fourth Miss, the water has also been carried into your house." ”

Hui Zhen said: "Third sister, I'll go back, you go to bed early." ”

After taking a good bath, Aizhen lay down on the bed and opened the magazine that she hadn't finished reading at night, but before she read a few pages, she closed her eyelids in a daze.

The old lady saw through the curtain that she was asleep, so she went into the house lightly and turned out the light.
