Eighty-ninth
Yi Hui's wedding date is set for the third day of November, Cai Wei has been friends with Yi Hui since she came, but Mrs. Tai did not ask her, she also wanted to come to Yi Hui more to have a look, not only to help her sort out some things for marriage, but also to get together more.
Once the sisters get married and get married, it won't be so easy to imagine sitting and laughing like they are now. Just like Yizhi, since marrying the eldest son of Zuo Xiang, she has only returned to Anyuanbo's Mansion three or four times in the past two or three years, and since the last time she met in Li Shilang's mansion in a hurry, she has never seen her again, and I don't know when she will be able to return to the capital again.
When Yi Hui comes out of the pavilion again, there will be one less good sister who can talk to her in this uncle's mansion, although Cai Wei is very reluctant, but she also looks forward to Yi Hui marrying in Xing'an Bofu and living with her cousin and Meimei.
Seeing that Yi Hui's wedding date was approaching, Cai Wei came to the courtyard of the second room every day after noon to help Yi Hui pack up and store her things, so that she could free up time to learn from the second wife some housekeeping skills that she would need to use as a housewife in the future.
Yihui has always remembered Yifen's love for saving her in the past three years, so she also dragged her to the second wife to be taught together, and the second wife didn't care, and explained to the two sisters every day.
In the blink of an eye, it was the second day of the first month of November, and after noon, the sky was gloomy and it was raining heavily. Cai Wei thought that Yihui would leave the pavilion the next day, so she ignored the heavy rain, put on the rain hat cloak and still came to the second courtyard.
When they arrived in Yihui's room, they saw that Yifen was also there, and her two sisters were sitting on the kang and talking affectionately, so they walked over and sat on the embroidered pier on the side, and said with a smile: "Don't you two have to follow the second uncle to learn the way of housekeeping today?" ”
Yifen replied for her sister: "Mother said that my sister will sit in a sedan chair tomorrow, and I won't study today, so let my sister relax for a day, and then enjoy the leisurely days of being a girl. ”
Yi Hui was so ashamed that she hurriedly covered her mouth, "What have you eaten today?" Why are you talking so much so fast! ”
Yifen said with a smile while hiding: "Cousin Zhou is not an outsider, it's nothing for her to hear it, seeing that my sister is about to marry into Xing'an Bofu, when my sister goes, I can't play with my sister like this!" ”
Yi Hui was suddenly saddened by her words, "Sister, don't worry, I didn't promise you earlier, I will often take you to the Bofu to live for a few days, and Sister Caiwei, when the time comes, I will take you over together, and we will still laugh and have fun in this mansion!" ”
Cai Wei looked at the smile on Yifen's face that couldn't be hidden, and couldn't help laughing: "Fourth sister, don't you have any happy things, why are you so full of spring breeze and happy smiles every day these days?" What if people who don't know see this, they think that the fourth sister is the bride? ”
Yi Hui also nodded and said, "That's it, my sister has really looked very happy these days, could it be that my aunt has already picked someone for you?" ”
Yifen touched her face and sneered: "Sister, don't make fun of me, aren't I happy for my sister?" My sister is about to marry my childhood sweetheart's cousin of the Lu family, and when I think that my sister is about to be overjoyed and marry into such a good family, I am overjoyed for my sister! ”
The three of them laughed for a while, and then saw Yihui's eldest maid Xia Lan come in with a large carved tray and said: "Third girl, your Wugui Bazhen soup is ready, this is what I watched Aunt Wang boil in the kitchen, this should be drunk before the meal, you can drink it while it's hot!" ”
It turned out that the second wife knew that all kinds of cumbersome etiquette on the day of marriage was extremely tiring, and those days after the marriage were also extremely tiring, worried about her daughter's body and afraid that she would not be able to bear it.
There was a plain three-color lid cup in the tray, and two small covered cups painted with gold and color, but it was the red date and white fungus lotus seed soup prepared for Cai Wei and Yifen, she thanked the two of them, took it, and drank it slowly.
Yi Hui waved her hand, "Let's put it first, the dim sum made by the fourth sister herself before was too delicious, I ate a few more pieces, this will be a little solid in my stomach, I can't drink this thing, let's wait and talk!" ”
Yifen saw that her sister didn't touch the bowl of Wugui Bazhen soup, so she also put down the small cover cup in her hand, came up and pulled her and said: "We have just eaten dim sum and have been nesting on this kang, no wonder my sister feels that her stomach is real, since my sister doesn't want to eat it this time, it's good to let it cool again, this soup is really a little hot!" Why don't I accompany my sister to walk around outside, although it's raining outside, it's okay for us to only walk around under the porch. ”
Yi Hui got up with a smile, straightened her dress, and asked Cai Wei, "Sister Wei, do you want to go out with us to enjoy the rain?" ”
Cai Wei was hesitating, and when she saw that Xia Lan asked Xia He to wait for Yi Hui to go out, she stayed in the house, so she also smiled and nodded, and walked out of the house with Yi Hui and the two sisters, walking slowly under the porch.
I saw Yifen pulling Yi Hui to the edge of the steps, raised her hand and pointed at the rain and said, "Why is it still raining so heavily this time, if it goes down like this again, what will Sister Ming'er do if she sits in a sedan chair?" ”
The edge of the steps had already been splashed wet by the rain, and Yifen landed on it, and his feet were cold and slippery, "Oops! As soon as she fell, she fell backwards, Yihui hurriedly pulled her, and she was also carried backwards, Yihui's maid Xia He couldn't help her, so she heard the sound of "plop" twice, and both of her sisters slipped and fell to the ground.
Cai Wei hurriedly brought Xiangcheng up to help the two of them up, and asked them where they were hurt, but fortunately it was winter at this time, and everyone was wearing heavy clothes, and the two of them just had some water stains on their dresses and stained their dresses, but they didn't hurt anything.
Yifen didn't care about her own dress, while helping Yihui tidy up her dress, she cried and said: "It's all my fault, it's me who pulled my sister out, and I was careless, so tired that my sister also fell together, fortunately, my sister didn't hurt anywhere, if there is a flash mistake tomorrow's happy event, I, I really can't atone for my sins a hundred times!" ”
Cai Wei frowned when she heard this, and then found that when they came out, Yifen's maid Si'er came out with them, how did Yihui and Yifen fall together, I saw Xia He busy coming up to help Yihui, but she didn't see the shadow of the four, at this time, she didn't stay by her own girl's side to wait, but where did she go?
"Since my sister is fine, let's go back to the house and change my clothes first, right?" Cai Wei said.
A few people were slowly walking into the house, when they saw Xia Lan running out of it and shouting, "Girl, girl, are you okay?" But where did it fall? ”
Yi Hui hurriedly explained a few more words to her, and when she saw that Yi Hui really didn't fall anywhere, Xia Lan put her mind at ease, helped her to walk into the house, and said to Xia He: "I'm just not around the girl for a while, you let the girl fall, how did you wait by the girl's side, Ming'er is the girl's happy day, if this hurts somewhere, how can you live?" ”
When Yifen heard Xia Lan say this, she suddenly glanced at Yi Hui with anxiety, Yi Hui hurriedly gave her a reassuring look, and stopped Xia Lan and said: "This is my own carelessness, what do you blame her for, why don't you go and find me a dress to come out, so that I can change it!" ”
Xia Lan saw Yi Hui instructing her, so she turned around and went to the house first, and saw Si'er standing by the door, opening a curtain for her, Cai Wei saw that her heart moved, and she also walked quickly to the house, and asked Xia Lan: "Aren't you guarding in the house, why did you run out?" ”
"I first heard the fourth girl calling, and I didn't take it to heart, but the girl who followed the fourth girl ran in and said that our third girl also fell, let me go out and have a look." Xia Lan opened the wardrobe to look for clothes, and said strangely: "What is the cousin asking for?" ”
"It's nothing, just ask!" Cai Wei dealt with it casually, but looked at the three bowls of lids on the tables, the two gold-painted lids belonged to her and Yifen, and they were still there as they were when they went out. The other plain three-color lid cup was Yi Hui's Wugui Bazhen Soup, but Cai Wei remembered that when they went out, the spoon in the lid cup was facing the incense burner on the table, but why did the spoon turn in the direction now and face the window?
Cai Wei was thinking here, Yi Hui and Yi Fen had already come in, Yi Hui saw that Yi Fen didn't change her clothes, but first surrounded her to help her change her clothes, so she said: "Sister doesn't need to help me here, there are Xia Lan and they are waiting, your clothes are also dirty, go back and change and come back!" ”
Yifen said: "It's okay, it's all my fault, my sister is so tired that I fell, and my sister asked me to serve you this time, which can be regarded as atonement!" I insisted on helping Yihui change her clothes, and when Yihui urged her to go back to change her clothes, she said: "Sister, wait until I drink this white fungus lotus seed soup before going, we have been delayed for so long, this soup is no longer hot, if I wait for me to change my clothes and come back, I am afraid that it will cool down again." Sister also hurriedly drank the cup of Wugui Bazhen soup, this is what Sister Xia Lan saw boiled with her own eyes! It's not good to drink when it's cold! ”
She said while personally handing the plain three-color lid cup to Yi Hui, but Yi Hui still had a difficult face, "But I still don't want to drink it much at this time." ”
Yifen suddenly regretted that she had persuaded her to eat too much snack, so she pestered her and said: "Good sister, but it's just such a small cup of tonic soup, you can drink it quickly, if you don't drink it, I won't go back to change my clothes!" ”
Cai Wei saw that Yifen was not in a hurry to let Yihui drink this Wugui Bazhen soup before, and she didn't even bother to change her clothes......
Although I would rather think too much about myself, there are still some things that I have to guard against, and at such an important time, I can't be too cautious!
Cai Wei smiled and said: "Since the third sister doesn't want to drink this soup so much, why don't I drink it for my sister, I will see you drinking this Wugui Bazhen soup when I come back, but I don't know what it tastes like, let me taste it?" As soon as he walked forward, he wanted to take the plain three-color lid cup in Yi Hui's hand.
Yifen hurriedly stopped her outstretched hand, "Cousin Zhou, this Wugui Bagui soup was specially stewed for the third sister by Mrs. Wang, so that she can replenish her body, I don't allow others to rob her!" ”
He said to Yihui again: "Sister, this is a piece of my mother's heart, you are going to leave the cabinet tomorrow, and your mother ordered someone to stew this bowl of soup for you, you should drink it!" She went to Xing'an Bo Mansion today to see your new house, and before she went out, she asked me to stare at you and drink this tonic soup! ”
Yihui heard her say this, and thought of her mother's kindness to herself, so she picked up the spoon and stirred it a few times.
Seeing Yifen so eager, Cai Wei became more suspicious in her heart, but Yifen brought out the second wife's motherly heart, and she couldn't say anything for a while, and before she could come up with another idea, she saw that Yihui had already sent a spoonful to her mouth.
A flash of ecstasy flashed in Yifen's eyes, although it flashed, but it did not escape Cai Wei's eyes, her heart suddenly sank, but she just persuaded her sister to drink the soup, and she would never show such an ecstatic look, Yifen's expression, it was like what she had planned was finally completed?
In that soup, I'm afraid it's a little unclean, and Yi Hui must not be allowed to drink it again.
Cai Wei had made up her mind, and was about to take a step forward and simply hit the lid cup to the ground, but Yihui suddenly turned her head and spit out all the soup she had just drunk in her mouth to the tea Meng on the side.
