Twenty-fifth

Early the next morning, Cai Wei got up and went to see Yizhi first, and saw that she had two clumps of blue under her eyes, which showed that she hadn't slept well last night. couldn't help but say, "When did my sister go to bed last night?" If my grandmother saw it, she would have asked. ”

Yizhi smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, I'll cover it up with more powder." While pouring some incense powder from the powder box and rubbing it under her eyes, she asked her, "It seems that my sister never uses these things?" ”

Cai Wei shook the bamboo fan lightly and smiled: "I never like to use these powders and rouge, I always feel weird, I only use some facial grease and lipstick to moisten it in winter." ”

Yizhi glanced at her face and said with a smile: "Look at your little face, your skin is really like coagulated fat, β–‘β–‘ and moist, where do you still use those things, but it is dirty." ”

Cai Wei put a hairpin on her hairpin, and said with a smile: "I'll tell Sister SΓΉ a set of recuperation methods when I go back, and I will ensure that you are the same as me." ”

It turned out that since the death of her brother and mother, her father began to read medical books, and both father and daughter lived and ate according to the health regimen of the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", but it was a pity that her father was too hard and strained too much when he was an official before. In fact, the most important thing in this set of recuperation methods is the way of eating, and now she lives in this house, and naturally she can no longer do the same diet as when she was at home, so her complexion is not as good as when she was in Meizhou.

Yizhi put on makeup for a while, and the two went to the room to ask Mrs. Tai for peace, Mrs. Luo saw Yizhi's hand and had to ask a few words, Yizhi only said that she was accidentally cut by scissors when she was a female celebrity, which provoked the old lady to count her down for a long time.

Cai Wei was listening, and suddenly she was a little envious of Yizhi in her heart, because she knew that if her hand was scratched, her grandmother would only ask at most, so that she would not keep chattering like this.

After the two of them had eaten with the old lady, they saw the brothers and sisters Yicheng and Yifen coming out from behind and also came to greet the lady.

Zhao Yixuan kowtowed on the ground, and after getting up, he didn't need Mrs. Tai to greet him, so he came to Mrs. Tai's side, and said with a smile: "Grandmother slept well last night, and my grandson dreamed of my grandmother last night. ”

The words made the corners of Mrs. Tai's mouth curl high, and she knocked on his forehead, "What an old child, like a gluttonous cat, I only think about eating in my dreams!" He pulled him into his arms and asked him about his homework.

Cai Wei looked at this grandson and Le Tu on the side, and said secretly in her heart: "I didn't expect this cousin to please my grandmother so much?" If it is said that because he is a brother, his sister seems to have won a little like his grandmother, so it can be seen that they are not only the children of the second uncle. I don't know how Aunt Hu gave birth to them, but the two brothers and sisters are like smeared honey with a small mouth, and they are the best at saying some pleasing things. ”

At one time, several other young masters and young ladies also came to the room to say goodbye, but the second girl Yifang was sick and did not come, Mrs. Tai asked them a few words at random, and sent several brothers to study in the school.

As soon as Yihui came in, Yifen came to her and called her sister, either asking her how well she slept yesterday, or praising her for her good looks today, and wanted to talk to her. Yi Hui dealt with a few words, and then said to Yi Zhi: "Why did the eldest sister's hand hurt?" Seeing that Yizhi looked a little haggard, there was a hint of melancholy between her eyebrows, as if she had something on her mind, so she wanted to pull her out to relax, so she said: "It rained all night yesterday, and the sun didn't come out this time, so let's go to the garden to see the lotus flowers while it's cool, okay?" ”

Yizhi was still in the mood to see any lotus flowers at this time, so he shook his head, "I didn't sleep well last night, I want to go back and crook for a while, you guys go." ”

I don't want Yifen to be busy and said, "Is it okay for me to accompany the third sister?" Without waiting for Yihui to answer her, she ran to Mrs. Tai's side and said with a smile: "Grandmother, the third sister wants to take me to the garden to see the lotus flowers, and I have never been to the garden of our house!" The granddaughter chose the most beautiful flowers and picked them back to honor her grandmother. ”

Mrs. Tai glanced at Yi Hui, nodded slightly and smiled: "Sisters should be so harmonious, you can go!" ”

Mrs. Tai's words, Yi Hui couldn't refuse, she didn't want to stay with this half-sister longer, but she didn't dare to disobey her grandmother's wishes, so she had to look at Cai Wei, "Sister Wei will go with you, right?" ”

Cai Wei wanted to go back to accompany Yizhi, but when she saw her hand over such a help-like look, pitiful, it was really refusal, and she knew why she wanted to call herself, so she smiled and nodded.

Here, Yifen has also greeted Yifei, these young ladies in the family, the fourth girl Zhao Yifen likes to get close to the most, in addition to her sister-in-law, there are Zhao Yifei, the fifth girl who is the same as her.

Yifei is also happy to have such a cousin in front of her. When this cousin didn't come, there were so many sisters in the house, and she was the only one who was a concubine, and she didn't know how much darkness she suffered, but now she can be regarded as a sister with a lower status than her.

So the four sisters each took a maid to the lotus pond in the back garden, and walked along the winding covered bridge to a small pavilion in the pool, and the cool breeze blew on the water, which was very pleasant.

The lotus flowers in the pond are very dense, even the sides of the covered bridge and the pavilion are crowded with lotus leaves one by one, a few girls chatting, while looking at the lotus flowers in the pond, all want to choose a branch to pick back and insert it in the bottle to enjoy.

Yi Fei saw Cai Wei slowly walking towards the twist and turn of a covered bridge, and saw that a pink lotus flower was blooming just right, so she hurriedly followed, and cut off the flower with bamboo scissors before Cai Wei, grabbed it in her hand, and smiled proudly at Cai Wei.

It turns out that this Yifei has been angry with her cousin for a long time, firstly, because Cai Wei was too preferential in the year she lived in this mansion before, and the old ladies and ladies in the mansion were all like her treasures, and she couldn't be spoiled, wasn't it because she had a father who was a big official?

Now that her official father has died, she has become a defector who has no relatives or support, and her own father is a super-grade earl, which makes her feel relieved when she thinks about it. Every time I see Zhou Caiwei, I always want to suppress her verbally to show her pride, but the girl has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, so that she can't get half a bargain.

What makes Yifei even more jealous is that although she is a concubine, if she is just beautiful, she is the best born among these sisters, but every time she comes to Zhou Caiwei, she can always feel ashamed of herself, a few years ago, and a few years later.

Obviously she is not a stunning beauty, she talks and laughs, there is another kind of beauty between her movements and demeanors, although it is difficult to describe, she knows that such a beauty is what she does not have, and I am afraid she will not have it in this life, so she looks at Zhou Caiwei even more unpleasantly in her heart.

Cai Wei didn't know these careful thoughts in her heart, her mind was not on this, she was still thinking about Yizhi, but she walked to a cluster of lotus leaves at random, stretched out her hand casually, and saw a pair of hands suddenly grab in front of her, "click", cut off the flower, and then heard Yifei say slightly provocatively: "Although my sister also took a fancy to this flower, but I got it first, my sister won't blame me, right?" ”

For such a trivial matter, Cai Wei naturally didn't bother to bother with her, and was about to say a random word and walk away, when her heart suddenly moved, and she smiled: "Whoever picks this flower first, naturally this flower is his, how can I blame my sister?" ”

When she said this, she walked away a few steps and whispered to Gan Tang, who came with her: "Go and invite Sister Zhi over, just say that I have thought of a good way, and then tell Xiangcheng to let her take a step behind and invite the fourth wife to come over." ”

Yifei snatched the lotus flower that Cai Wei liked, and was complacent in her heart, and chose left and right for a while, and saw that another white lotus not far away was also very beautiful, so she wanted to pick it back and put it in the room for her aunt, but she was about to cut the flower first, but she was robbed and cut the flower away first.

Annoyed that Yifei looked up, and suddenly became even more angry, it turned out that it was none other than Zhou Caiwei, who had just been pressed down by her, and this girl smiled and returned her previous sentence as it was, "Although my sister also took a fancy to this flower, but I got it first, my sister won't blame me, right?" ”

Can this be endured?!

Previously, Yifei was the most unhappy in this mansion because her father, and she was the only young lady who came out, although she had no status in the Bofu, but in the courtyard of their four rooms, it was a powerful one, and even the fourth wife had to let her five points, and her brother and her brother had always been arrogant and arrogant. Now she is even more proud of being the daughter of an earl, and she doesn't even pay attention to the sisters in the family, let alone a helpless orphan girl like Zhou Caiwei.

At that moment, Yifei said with an angry face: "Who said I don't blame me?" I want to blame you, Sister Zhou loves her sisters like this, and she bullies the small like this and robs me of my flowers? ”

But seeing Zhou Caiwei playing with the white lotus in her hand, she smiled and said: "It turns out that my sister also knows that I am older than you and you are younger, so can't my sister forget the story of 'Kong Rong makes pears'?" I had already given one branch to my sister before, and this branch should be regarded as my sister's return to my cousin! ”

These words fell into Yi Fei's ears, and she almost didn't blow up her lungs, she hated this cousin the most for looking noble all day. Especially this time, her father, mother and brothers are all dead, and she is left alone to run over, not only did she cower and panic, she picked up her tail and behaved, but she was still the same as before, still calm and leisurely, which made her angry. What should this look like for an orphan girl under the fence, could it be that she is still a daughter?

This Zhao Yifei is just an eleven-year-old girl this year, and she is usually raised in front of Aunt Liu, so it is inevitable that she will lose her rules and upbringing in some places. Therefore, she was angry, and the words she said were very unscrupulous, regardless of etiquette, "I just called you cousin to promote you, my father is now a super earl, I am the daughter of an earl, you are a young lady from a few official families?" It's just a poor relative who has fled to me helplessly, and now he points to my father to eat, but he is full of my sister in front of me, and he dares to rob my things? Why don't you give me back that flower, or I'll let my father drive you out and see where you're going?" ”

"Shut up!" I heard an angry reprimand, but it was Yizhi who rushed over, and I heard her sister-in-law say such extremely rude words, "Since you are the daughter of the super uncle's mansion, your words and deeds should also have the appearance of everyone's daughter, which famous lady would say such rude words to her relatives?" Why don't you give your cousin a sin soon? ”

At this time, Yi Hui and Yi Fen, who were staying in the pavilion, seemed to be a little wrong, and they also walked over from the pavilion, and before they got closer, they heard Yi Fei shouting sharply: "Let me give her a sin and dream?" Big sister's heart is too unreasonable, even if you and I are not born by a mother, I am also your own sister, why doesn't my sister help her sister but turns her elbow outward and speaks to outsiders? ”

Because Yizhi was raised in front of the old lady, Yifei had never dared to offend her before, but now, after the old lady was sick for such a time, she saw that it was not a problem, and the father who loved her the most was the head of the house. Facing her sister again, Yi Fei's courage became stronger, and she directly yelled at her with a red face and a thick neck.

Seeing her arrogant like this, Yizhi was also angry, "Cousin Wei is my aunt's daughter, and they are all close relatives of the family, how can she be said to be an outsider?" ”

Yifei sneered: "Her surname is Zhou and not Zhao, why is she not an outsider?" What's more, she's not a good one, the big sister said I don't look like a famous lady, is she just that? Which famous lady of this family actually went to the outside of the city to meet a foreign man privately, and she was not afraid of spreading it out, which would bring the good reputation of our sisters! ”

Yizhi was so angry that her voice trembled a little, "How can you say this from a girl's family?" ”

Yifei's head was raised, "Since she has done it, why can't I say it?" Obviously, she wanted to have a private meeting with a foreign man, but she didn't remember that her father accompanied her out of the city to see off those two people under such a big day, but went to the old lady to sue her father, causing her father to be punished and locked up in the house for several days and not allowed to go out. She cheated her father like this, this is what my sister calls a close relative? ”

Seeing that the more Yi Fei said, the more outrageous it became, and then saw Cai Wei standing on the side, her face was pale with anger, Yi Zhi couldn't help but say angrily: "You still don't stop talking!" ”

"Why do you tell me to shut up, and I'll stop talking? You don't want me to say, I want to say, see what you can do to me? If you have the ability, you can go to the old lady and sue me again, will you go? Hum! Now that the father in this house says that it counts, even if you go to find the old lady, it's useless! ”

Cai Wei suddenly interjected: "Sister Fei's words are not right, isn't Sister Zhi the daughter of the fourth uncle, and she is both the daughter and the eldest daughter, if today's incident is in front of the fourth uncle, when it comes to who is who is wrong, the uncle will definitely make the decision for Sister Zhi!" ”

The words "sister-in-law" and "elder" in Cai Wei's words happened to poke Yifei's sore spot, and she was even more annoyed and angry: "No matter how long she is, what's the use of not being favored by her father, otherwise why would her father be willing to promise her such a family affair and give her a cripple." Ha, speaking of which, I still want to thank my eldest sister, if it weren't for the light of your good family, I wouldn't have become the daughter of a super earl? ”

"You β€”β€”!" Yizhi was so angry that she couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped her with a slap.

Yifei seemed to be stunned by this slap, she has been growing up since she was a child, and she is also loved by her father and mother, and she has been pampered all the way up, where has she ever been beaten by a finger? It took a long time to come back to his senses, and he screamed, and was about to pounce on Yizhi.

The maid Camellia who came with Yizhi hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and Cai Wei hurriedly asked Gan Tang to help.

I didn't want these two maids to stop Yifei, but another white figure rushed forward, raised his hand and pushed Yizhi to the ground, shouting: "I asked you to bully my sister, have you asked the master about me?" ”
