Sister Yan said, Yibi stretched out her hand to grab the second sister, looked up and down, and said to the eldest sister with a smile: "I am taller, and I am thinner, and I am not as talkative and noisy as before." I still remember that we were playing together at the beginning, and the second sister always had endless words, and the noisy people had a headache. It's quieter now. ”

Before a word fell, the eldest sister also smiled and said: "My sister doesn't know, although the second sister doesn't talk much, she has more ideas than others." Even her mother would listen to her. I'm a few years older, but I'm not as good as I. ”

After that, after the mother and daughter returned to the Chen family, how the second sister copied the scriptures before the Buddha, how to read and read, and how the Chen family invited the female gentleman to tell her in detail. Sister Yan listened carefully, and looked at the second sister in surprise, because she said, "Sure enough, it's a big girl." ”

The second sister stood aside, silently watching a twelve- or thirteen-year-old little girl with a little baby fat on her face pulling another little girl who was only eight years old after the turn of the year, and seriously discussing another four-year-old little girl, "Sure enough, she has become a big girl", I just feel how funny this scene is.

Not only the second sister, but even the eldest girl Bixi, who had just been serving tea and dinner in the upper room, invaded and was sent out by the Chen family to look for someone, couldn't help but laugh and said: "Miss Zhang is good, the eldest cousin is good, the second cousin is good, Mrs. Gu saw that the three girls hadn't come yet, so she was in a hurry, so she asked the slave and maid to come out to look for someone." Just say that it's cold outside, and the girls will go back after a short walk, don't stand in the snow for a long time. If the wind is blowing carefully, it should be hungry and noisy again. ”

When the eldest sister heard this, she smiled and said, "This is very true." When I talked to Sister Yan, I didn't feel anything, but I felt that the wind was soaking in the cold. In that case, let's go back? ”

While he was talking, he only heard the sonorous sound of gongs and drums coming from the small stage in the main courtyard of the upper room. The eldest sister's eyes lit up, and she smiled: "I've started singing." I heard that this group of small operas sings very well. Let's go and see. ”

Sister Yan'er nodded and smiled, and the second sister asked with a smile: "I don't know what kind of drama was ordered in front of me?" ”

Bixi replied: "The old lady ordered a play "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and Mrs. Zhang ordered a play "The Story of Jing Hai", the old lady, the old man and the old man of the Zhang family did not order a play, but only said that the old lady and the wife of the Zhang family ordered it very well. “

The second sister listened to it once, turned around and smiled at Sister Yan'er and said, "I remember that Sister Yan loves to listen to "The Legend of the West Chamber" and "Dream in the Garden". ”

When Sister Yan'er heard this, she also smiled and said, "I still remember that my second sister doesn't like to listen to dramas." Just say that those who sing and babble are not understood, and they feel that they are boring. ”

When the second sister heard this, she thought of a joke in the future life, and blurted out: "But isn't it." 'Babbling' for a long time without a 'two' word, I'm in a hurry to die, what's so good. ”

Everyone had never heard such a narrow word, and when they heard the second sister's joke at first glance, they didn't react at first, and when they thought about it, they didn't feel the flowers and branches trembling with laughter. Even the maids and ladies who followed behind them couldn't help laughing.

After laughing once, the eldest sister stretched out her slender jade finger and poked the second sister's cheek, and said with a smile: "The second sister doesn't like to listen to dramas, but now I think the play book is more interesting!" ”

Sister Yan gossiped with the eldest sister just now, and she also knew about Mr. Wu's deeds. It's just that this is a private matter of the Chen Mansion, so it's not good to say much, so I have to laugh it off.

The three of them laughed and went back to the upper room. A little girl had already erected a large screen with a carved base to paint landscape paintings in the local area, and the adults were chatting and listening to the play in the main hall. Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhang, Feng and Chen's seats—but there are foreign guests today, but Feng does not sit down, but only stands aside and waits, letting the tea cloth dishes; Old lady Chen, Chen Jue, Chen Ju and the father and son of the Zhang family sat again across the screen; The remaining four girls were seated. It was just after Mrs. Chen's seat. At this moment, only Chen Wan was sitting alone at the table.

Mrs. Chen was red from the cold when she saw the little faces of the three girls, but she was still smiling, and she was unconsciously happy to hold the eldest sister with one hand and the second sister with the other, and asked with a smile: "What did you all say outside, you were so happy to laugh, even we heard it inside, and it made us happy to say it quickly." ”

Hearing Mrs. Chen's question, the eldest sister didn't wait for others to speak, so she smiled and told the second sister Fang Cai'er the words of Kun Yi's joke and singing. Before a word fell, everyone in the hall couldn't hold back and laughed. Chen Jue said: "Sure enough, although the second sister doesn't talk much, she is the most clever. Listen to it, just now she joked about Kun Yi's singing, although it was a joke, but after a closer look, it didn't mean that. ”

When Chen heard this, he smiled and said, "Brother, don't praise her." She is becoming more and more indulgent, and even her relatives and elders will make fun of her in the future. ”

After that, he beckoned the three girls and sat down on the three empty chairs at Chen Wan's table. Chen Wan looked at the three eldest sisters who had not yet faded from the cold wind on their bodies, wrinkled her nose and snorted, lowered her voice and said to the eldest sister: "Okay, I don't forget you if I have any delicious and fun things on weekdays, you just went out to joke but didn't take me, leaving me alone here and waiting in vain." It can be seen that with Sister Zhang, I forgot to kiss my sister, I really hurt you in vain. ”

When the eldest sister heard this, she hurriedly smiled and hugged Chen Wan's neck, and the monkey apologized for Chen Wan's body: "Good sister, we just ate too much tea, and we will come when we go out for a walk." I thought it was cold outside, so I didn't call my sister. I didn't think about it properly, so my sister spared me. ”

Chen Wan tugged at the corners of her mouth, turned her body slightly, and ignored the eldest sister.

The second sister thought about it and knew that a little girl of this age was the most slender and sensitive. What's more, Chen Wanping is really good to them, this little girl is jealous, what should I coax. also smiled on the side: "I know that Sister Wan is the best for us on weekdays, how can she be willing to be seriously angry with us." ”

Chen Wan glanced at the second sister with a smile and said, "It can be seen that you are also a conscience, so I know that I love you." In that case, tell me two jokes—they must be more laughable than what you just said, and I won't be annoyed. ”

When the second sister heard this, she said in her mouth: "This is going to kill me." ”

After that, he pondered for a while, silently added some words to a few jokes that he had heard in later generations, and said: "Let's just say that a man drove an ox cart to the market to sell vegetables, but he didn't want to bump into an old man halfway. This person was so frightened that he didn't know what to do, but there were more and more people watching the excitement around. This person thought about it, suddenly knelt down and hugged the old man, and said with tears in his eyes, "Dad, don't be afraid, my son will go to Lang Zhong here." With that, the man got up and ran away with the ox cart. The old man could only struggle to get up and shout at the man, 'I hit Lao Tzu and still want to run, come back to Lao Tzu'. When the onlookers saw it, they could only sigh and say, 'The son is really filial'. ”

Chen Wan listened to the second sister's words, and she was already lying on the table and laughing. Unexpectedly, his arm touched the tea cup on the table, and the tea cup fell to the ground and shattered in half, and the tea leaves splashed the cotton silk skirt that Chen Wan and her eldest sister were newly wearing.

Everyone in the hall looked up, but they were startled, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" Chen Wan rubbed her intestines on one wall, and intermittently said the second sister's words. When everyone saw this scene, they felt angry and funny, and hurriedly ordered the maid who was waiting on the side to take the two sisters down to change their clothes. Chen pointed at the second sister and scolded with a smile: "It's all your fault." I don't see you talk a lot on weekdays, but now people are crazy. ”

The second sister looked at Chen with an innocent face, although she knew that the laughter of this person was low, but she didn't expect it to be so low. It's a shame that she still hid the hilarious ones and didn't say anything, if she really said a few, I'm afraid it wouldn't be a tea stained dress at this time.

Old Mrs. Chen was beside her, watching Feng Zhang Luo and the little girl clean up the broken tea cup remnants, and said to Chen with a smile: "Don't talk about her." I usually think it's not good that the second sister is too silent. It's not like what should be said to be a fuss at this age. I think there is an acquaintance here, so she is more lively than first, which is a good thing. If you talk about her, it's not good to be frightened again. ”

After that, he smiled at the Zhang family again: "It's just that you can laugh." ”

Zhang Yun hurriedly smiled and said, "Where is the old lady?" It's very common for children to play around and laugh. It's just that our family is scarce, and we can't be so lively on weekdays. Today, at the old lady's place, I enjoyed it once. ”

Mrs. Chen smiled when she heard this, because she said, "Since you are an in-law, you should move around more." If you don't give up, you will come and go often on weekdays, and it will save my little daughter that there is no one to talk to at home. ”

Zhang Yun and his wife laughed at themselves. While talking, Chen Wan and the eldest sister changed their clothes again, and their faces were still crimson, as if they had been coated with rouge. Bowing her head to greet the elders, and sitting down in front of the table, Zhang Yan took Chen Wan's hand and said with a smile: "I am also at home alone on weekdays, lonely, and there is no one to talk to. When I saw my sister today, I felt like I was old at first sight. I just want to have a sister like that. ”

Chen Wan first returned the eldest sister and the second sister to the back of her mind when she saw Zhang Yan, and after listening to Zhang Yan's words, she remembered the identity of her master's family, but she was embarrassed. Hurriedly smiled and held Zhang Yan's hand, because he said, "I also want to have such a gentle and peugeot sister." If my sister doesn't give up, I'll be the same as the eldest sister and the second sister, and I'll call you Sister Yan, okay? ”

Zhang Yan smiled at herself, still holding Chen Wan's hand and said, "Then I will call you Sister Wan." ”

The second sister saw that the two little girls were still sour and vinegar, but this time the sister and sister were very affectionate, and shook their heads funny. Chen Wan's eyes were sharp, and she looked at the movements of the second sister and said, "Sister Yan, look, the second sister is laughing at us." You're still laughing, and you've recruited it. See how I spare you. ”

As he spoke, he took two mouthfuls of his two hands, and scratched the two ribs in the armpit of the second sister's arm. The second sister was small and light, one dodged and avoided it, and hurriedly pointed to the other two seats and said: "Sister Wan is lighter, and she will drop the cup and plate again after a while, but she will cry to death." ”

The elders in the hall obviously saw it, but they still didn't see it, and only smiled and listened to the play. Chen Hua quietly smiled at Zhang Hua and said, "Look at them, they're really lively." ”

Zhang Hua looked at the local landscape painting screen without saying a word, as if he could see the people behind him through the screen.
