CHAPTER XXXIX
Wisteria was specially ordered by the old man to prepare the story told at the autumn banquet in the house, and it didn't take a pillar of incense to make the whole Graceland know. Because Wisteria has always been close to the rough mother-in-law and the little girl who has not entered the yard, she is surrounded by everyone when she comes out of the main house, and you are congratulating her with every word, and you can see that you are really happy for her. Wisteria smiled at the corners of his mouth, thanked them, and promised that if he won a reward at the autumn banquet, he would treat them to a good meal.
Back in the West Chamber, Qiu Xiang walked over with the extremely reluctant watercress and grabbed Wisteria's arm with a smile and said, "Sister, this is really good, I will say that you are a blessed one." ”
Wisteria took out her arm by pinning her hair behind her ear, and said to Qiu Xiang with a smile, "Isn't it, now that I think about it, I want to thank me for making a fool of myself last time, otherwise the second miss wouldn't want me to help her win back face at the autumn banquet, right?" ”
Qiu Xiang's empty hand was put down for a while, and her unnatural expression flashed, "It's really! Congratulations sister! I told Shui Cress that after all, the three of us came together, which is also a happy event for the three of us, and it would be good for us to spend money to add food for my sister tonight. ”
Wisteria looked at the watercress with a face and was eager to gasp with her ears, and said with a light smile: "Sister Lao Qiuxiang and Sister Watercress, but the old lady told me to prepare seriously, so I didn't dare to slack off for a moment, and I understood the intentions of the two sisters." Then he turned and went back to his house.
Joke, if I let you add food tonight to celebrate, I dare to guarantee that this backyard will know in less than half an hour, and then the reputation of being arrogant and pretending to be cautious will spread. Okay, you're a Qiu Xiang, I thought that even if you can't be a friend, don't become an enemy, it's best to take what you need when you have nothing to do, and now you're targeting everywhere, so don't blame me for being polite.
Shui Qin angrily shook the curtain of the door and entered the house, "It's all you, you have nothing to say and what, look at her arrogant appearance, I sue you, just this time, next time you want to please you and go, Hugh has to pull me." ”
"Good sister, isn't this also good for you? Last time, you were reprimanded for talking about her, so you got closer to her, so that Mother Liu could see that you weren't actually targeting her. ”
"You know what, I just hate her, I'll just say what's wrong with her? Hmph, really annoying guy, if it weren't for her, I would have let Mother Liu stand in the yard for half an hour, losing such a big face, you wait, I will have to settle this account sooner or later. ”
Qiu Xiang saw that Shui Qin's face was flushed, so she no longer set up a fire, but sat opposite her, and said softly, "Are you willing to do this?" If it's not for you, why wouldn't I? ”
"Why are you pulling it for me?" Shui Cress looked puzzled.
"Hey, didn't you say last time you and Sister Shuangqiao thought that you could go to the garden to wait for the autumn banquet? You also know that according to her ability, you can't arrange both of us out, there are always people in this courtyard to watch, and the tea and food in the big kitchen always have to be watched by our third-class people in each courtyard. So it's unthinkable to be by the side of the second lady, and the chance of being arranged to be in the garden and our turn is very small. I thought I'd see if I could get through Wisteria, even if she needed a girl to accompany her when she was telling stories. Hey, it seems that this can't be delivered. Qiu Xiang finished speaking with an embarrassed look.
"Good sister, it's still good to you, think of me in everything. Well, what should I do, even if I told her, she wouldn't help. ”
"I'm thinking about it, let's see if Sister Shuangqiao can win the service in the garden for both of us, if there is only one, then ...... Then let you go, and you can come back and tell me about the appearance and clothing of those nobles. ”
"That's not good, if you want to go and go together, I'll go to find my aunt in the evening, and ask her to tell Mama Wang that we will serve directly, so that Mother Liu will agree."
Shui Xiang said as she hugged Qiu Xiang's shoulder, good sister, good sister kept screaming, and the corner of Qiu Xiang's mouth showed a smug smile.
Although he didn't have to be an errand, Wisteria got up on time every day and went to continue telling stories to the second lady first. The Journey to the West has been finished, and Xie Fang has not urged her to tell new stories in the past few days, but just asked her every day if she wanted to think about the story to be told at the autumn banquet, and told her over and over again that it must be novel, which they had never heard.
In the afternoon, as usual, I still have to go to Canglang Garden to teach Brother Yue'er. On this day, Wisteria walked a little earlier and turned the road to Songhe Garden. Because of Brother Yue'er's business, she was rewarded, and Mother Liu took the opportunity to intercede with the second lady and lifted Zirui's grounding. Although the ban was lifted, Zirui couldn't wait to go out, and all the errands in her hands were handed over to Jiao Hong, and she got married in less than two months, so she quietly packed up her things in the house, embroidered the dowry, and just waited for it to be released ten days in advance, and went directly to her cousin's shop as an errand.
Wisteria went to see Zirui and knew that he was able to show his face at the autumn banquet this time, all thanks to the help of Winter Pattern, and he thought that he would take care of himself on Winter Pattern in Zhuangzi, so he went to take a look today.
Wisteria walks a sandwich road from Graceland to Songhe Garden, generally people figure out that the distance here is close and convenient to go, this time it is just after noon, the autumn sun is still very full, shining on the top of the head makes people a little unable to open their eyes. Wisteria holds a few pieces of paper in her hand, on which are the patterns she drew for the winter pattern from Wakaka, she can't embroider herself, but she is very good at drawing patterns with the skills of stick figure drawing. Thinking that he couldn't go empty-handed, he picked a few pictures of Ruoxiang and drew a few patterns from the outside.
Wisteria walked in a hurry, and hurried towards the sunshine with his head down, and just turned a bunch of lilac trees beside the road, he collided with a person on the opposite side. Wisteria only felt that this collision was more solid, and his nose hurt.
Wisteria raised his head angrily, and just wanted to blame him, but saw a tall figure standing in front of him. It's not the mother-in-law in the yard, it's a young man.
He stood in front of Wisteria with the light on his back, and the dazzling light made her unable to see the appearance of the person in front of her, but he was tall and burly. Wearing a blue-black gown, a handful of black hair tied to the top of his head with a wooden hairpin. Wisteria has never known what to do, how did the backyard of the Zhongguo Mansion enter the foreign man, because the male owner of the Guogong Mansion Wisteria has seen it, and it doesn't match any of them.
The man bent down and picked up the pattern that had just fallen from the impact, took it in his hand and looked at it, flashing a hint of approval.
"Did you hit somewhere?" The man looked at the little girl in front of him who was only up to his chest, and saw that the dressing should be a subordinate in the house.
"I only paid attention to watching the nest of birds, but accidentally bumped into it, give you a gift" The man's voice is very good, a bit like Wisteria's Chinese teacher when he went to college, and more like the voice of the dubbing host of a CCTV popular science program.
Wisteria's face turned red, and he raised his head and waved his hand at the man, "No, no, I didn't pay attention." This time he looked up, because the sunlight was staggered, and after seeing the person's appearance clearly, Wisteria froze in place.
How is it possible, this person looks exactly the same as the senior she had a crush on in her previous life, no, it should be said that there is more calmness. With a tall nose, a handsome face, long eyelashes casting a thin shadow under the eyes, slightly white skin, and a pair of sad black eyes were quietly looking at her.
Wisteria's mouth became dry for a while, and he didn't say a word for a long time with his mouth open. The man looked at the little girl in front of him with a blank look, and he only felt funny. handed over the paper in his hand,
"Look at it, is there any less?"
Wisteria took the paper and ran forward, but because the speed was too fast and he didn't look up, he accidentally bumped into a wooden stake, stood still, rubbed his head, didn't know what to mumble, but slowed down and walked forward.
The man watched her walk away, and laughed unconsciously, he was not a flood beast, how could he be scared like this. I looked up at the bird's nest on the old elm tree again, and I remembered that I had climbed this tree back then, and time passed so fast.
