Chapter Eighty-Five: Greetings

It rained dripping in the early morning, and Muxi Garden was shrouded in rain and mist in the morning light. Bao Die got up early, took the mirror, looked carefully, and smiled on her face.

Last night, she didn't apply medicine leaves to her face, and the rash on her face disappeared a lot this morning. For days, she didn't dare to see people, let alone look in the mirror, even if she touched her face with her hand, her heart would tremble.

The anxiety in Baodie's heart was swept away, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. Tell Jiu'er to get up and go to boil water together and wait for Luo Yan to get up and clean her face.

Jiu'er responded, but there was no movement, and Baodie went out without waiting for her. It happened that Qi Feng came out of Zhu Mama's house, and Bao Die looked at Qi Feng strangely. Qi Feng looked like he was hangover and didn't wake up, and smiled awkwardly, "Sister Baodie is really early, no wonder the third grandmother wants to transfer you to Muxi Garden on an errand, it's much more diligent than us slaves." ”

"Look at what you said, apparently you got up earlier than I did, and you were dressed so neatly from head to toe!" Bao Die looked at the eight-character silver-inlaid jade ring ribbon on Qi Feng's body, hanging between the two silver threads, standing in the rain and mist, lining Qi Feng with an extraordinary temperament.

Baodie remembered this jade ring ribbon, Qi Feng once said that this was her mother's dowry, although it was not worth a few dollars, she was reluctant to bring it. Isn't that weird today? What a good day?

Qi Feng didn't know what to say for a while, and Zhu Mama came out of the door, "Qi Feng, what are you still doing in a daze, go back to Mrs., I'll go over in a while." ”

Qi Feng answered, lowered his head and walked past Baodie, and walked quickly towards Mrs. Jiang's courtyard. The smell of wine dyed on Qi Feng's body did not dissipate overnight, wafting into Bao Die's snort. Bao Die turned to look at Qi Feng's back, and saw that there were some fine grass clippings on her primrose-colored lantern gauze skirt.

It's strange, could it be that this girl rolled the haystack last night? Bao Die glanced at Zhu Mama again, and Zhu Mama smiled at her and went back to the house. Bao Die was suspicious for a while, and said that Mu Xiyuan had few people and few things, and it was the most quiet place in the Rong Mansion, but now it really doesn't happen!

When Luo Yan and Rong Xi got up, Baodie and Jiu'er had already packed up. Wait for them to clean their faces and eat......

Qi Feng returned to the house and closed the door, her heart was pounding, but fortunately Baodie didn't ask in detail. Last night, Mama Zhu pulled her up, and Qi Feng, who got her into the house, can't remember clearly.

All she remembered was in a daze. I heard Zhu Mama sighing. “…… Restless girl, what trouble is she provoking? Let's do our part...... master's business."

What do you mean by doing your job? Slaves shouldn't have a good future? Qi Feng moved the corners of his mouth, feeling aggrieved. I blamed Mama Zhu for helping her master speak, and after so many years of errand in the same hospital, Mama Zhu didn't help her think about it. Could it be that Mama Zhu couldn't see her Qifeng's thoughts......

Qi Feng changed into a cyan shirt. Carefully put away the cherry sarong skirt. After sitting in the house for a while, he opened the door and went out of Mrs. Jiang's house.

Luo Yan took Rong Yu into the door to greet Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang's smile was rarely bright, and she hurriedly asked them to sit down, and called Jin Yuan to make tea, Qi Feng stopped Jin Yuan, "Let me come, I'm used to it." ”

Jin Yuan's chubby little face bloomed, "Sister Qifeng is so good." "After she was transferred to Mrs. Jiang's house, Qi Feng rushed to do everything with her. used to accompany Rong Xi to run around the world, but now he is suddenly idle and doesn't know what to do.

Rong Xi looked at the rain outside the window from time to time, and Mrs. Jiang knew that he wanted to go out to play.

"Last time, Xi'er went out and got covered in mud, and with you by my side for the past two days, I let go of my heart." Mrs. Jiang looked at Luo Yan.

"My daughter-in-law was negligent a few days ago, and I asked my mother-in-law to punish her. In the future, I will ensure that **** will accompany Xianggong and not let outsiders bully him. Luo Yan said and smiled at Mrs. Jiang.

"What do you punish by your own family......" The smile in Mrs. Jiang's eyes deepened.

Qi Feng came in with tea, and when she heard Mrs. Jiang and Luo Yan talking, she stumbled under her feet and almost fell over the tea bowl. Luo Yan and Mrs. Jiang looked at Qi Feng together. Qi Feng steadied his footsteps and said curtly: "I'm afraid that the rain outside won't stop for a while and a half, and it's better for the slave to see that the third master still stays in the garden to play." ”

Mrs. Jiang hummed and nodded. "Try not to go out of the house, I heard that Yangzhou City is very chaotic these days."

Luo Yan responded, chatted with Mrs. Jiang for a while, and then got up and retired. Mrs. Jiang suddenly remembered something, and asked Luo Yan and Rong Xi to go to the old lady to ask for peace, although the old lady kept saying. Don't let the children run around and ask for trouble, but the old people still like to be lively after all......

The rain was still falling unhurriedly. Rong Xi held the umbrella, Luo Yan held his arm and often went to Cuiyuan, Rong Xi asked curiously, "Where is the lady going?" ”

"Didn't your mother say that we should go and say hello to the old lady?"

Rong Xi couldn't stand still, pouted, and said, "It's not fun to ask An!" Just now he kept looking outside, thinking about whether to go to the long street to watch people play chess. Now that he heard that he was going to ask the old lady to say goodbye, how could he have any thoughts.

In his impression, greeting the elders is a solemn occasion during the New Year's Festival, with cumbersome clothing and complicated etiquette.

"Well, just go for a while!"

Rong Xi stood on the bluestone road and didn't leave, looking at Luo Yan, his eyes were full of pleading. Luo Yan had no choice but to continue to coax him. Jiu'er held an umbrella and snickered behind Luo Yan, and when the little maids who came and went saw them, they couldn't get around and approached to say hello, and some snickered and avoided them from afar.

Luo Yan felt hot on her face, and sweat oozed from her forehead. "Xianggong is obedient, good! Or I'm going to get angry......"

"The lady is not angry, the lady has to laugh."

"Then come back with me, let's make a swing when we come back, okay?"

Rong Xi's eyes lit up, "The lady doesn't lie?" I'm going to make a swing......" Rong Xi smiled happily, and Luo Yan breathed a sigh of relief. Turned back to Jiu'er and said, "You still snicker, and you don't help me......"

Jiu'er said mischievously: "This slave can't help, but the slave believes that the third master will definitely listen to the young lady!" ”

"Listen to the lady, you must listen to the lady!" Rong Xi repeated with a smile.

It happened that Jin Hai led two little maids to pass by and came over to greet Luo Yan and Rong Xi. "The third master and the third grandmother are they going to Cuiyuan?"

Luo Yan nodded and looked at the rectangular wooden box held by the little maid behind Jin Hai.

Jin Hai said with a smile: "The second lady asked the slave maid to send these clothes to the dove building, they are all clothes that were picked out from the library just now and made for the third lady before......"

Jiu'er curiously stretched her neck to look at the large rectangular wooden box, Luo Yan glanced at her, Jiu'er understood, and glanced back embarrassedly.

"The clothes of the third lady are all very good-looking. Go ahead! ”

Jin Hai hummed and led the little maid to hurry to the dove tower.

Jiu'er asked puzzledly, "Isn't the third lady doing her filial piety for her husband's family, and can't she wear gorgeous clothes?" ”

"Of course it's not for Rong Liniang!" Luo Yan looked at Jin Hai's back thoughtfully.

At this time, the treasure chest came out of Cuiyuan, and when she saw Luo Yan and Rong Xi, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "The slave maid said, there must be a happy event today, the old lady shouted early in the morning to gather the girls for dinner, and it happened that the fourth grandmother and the fourth master should also come back at noon today......"
