Chapter 4 Swing
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, as soon as it was dark, Luo Chan got up early, freshened up, and waited for her wife to ask her to choose clothes.
But the sun was three poles, and he didn't wait for the maid's report. My worried heart didn't settle, so I took a copy of the Tang Dynasty's "The Analects of Women" and sat in front of the window, reading it without looking at it, but listening carefully to the movement in the courtyard with both ears.
“…… What does the second lady want to do with this? ”
Qing'er's voice came, and Luo Chan got up and leaned out of the window to look.
I saw two little guys holding a bundle of ropes with three fingers thick, walking in the direction of Jiyuan.
Fu'er led the way in front, and when she saw Qing'er asking, she said, "The second lady wants to make a swing, and there are a few logs left when the garden is built......
In the end, it's a little girl, and she knows how to play all day long! It's a pity that my father built a Ji Garden for her, which is really a waste of good things. Those family heirloom ornaments, she doesn't know how to cherish them.
Luo Chan sighed in her heart. He sat down again, thinking about what style of clothes would bring out his beauty.
At this time, I heard See'er say to Liu'er outside the door that Mrs. asked the eldest lady to choose clothes and materials.
She immediately threw away the book in her hand, walked quickly into the mirror in the inner room, took a look, combed her sideburns with a grate, straightened her hairpin, smiled at the mirror, and then turned around and went out satisfied.
When he arrived at the door, he suddenly remembered something, turned back to the house, opened the cage, took out a piece of concubine-colored feather yarn, and then smiled and went out happily.
In the evening, the glow reflected the clouds on the horizon like thin waves gilded with gold edges.
Ji Yuan laughed and laughed.
“…… I can't help it! The paint hasn't dried yet. ”
"Wait, wait, I'll go get the cushions!"
The woman trotted all the way and was busy going into the house to get the mat.
Jiu'er tugged at Luo Yan's sleeve and didn't let her grab the swing frame with the new paint that hadn't dried.
Luo Yan giggled and spun around the swing frame, and Jiu'er was pulled by her and staggered......
The pear blossoms were infected by this laughter, and they also came to join in the fun, and they fell one after another, filling the sky. The vermilion swing frame is particularly eye-catching and gorgeous in the frost and snow.
Luo Chan watched from afar and couldn't help pouting.
In the afternoon at Zhouji Silk Village, she chose a few very expensive clothes and materials according to her temperament. Mrs. Luo was neither too expensive nor too much, and paid the money happily. I also instructed Mama Cao, who went with me, to do it carefully, the piping of the piping, and the don't save the silk beads, although it is fashionable to do it.
Luo Chan listened with joy in her heart. After Mrs. Luo and Mama Cao finished speaking, she took out the crimson feather yarn material, saying that she wanted to make a lace shawl.
Mama Cao took the feather yarn, her eyes lit up, and she kept rubbing it with her hands.
Madame Luo glanced at the material, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.
Luo Chan hurriedly said that it was given by her sister yesterday, and she liked it very much.
Mrs. Luo said that if she liked it, she asked Mama Cao to pay attention to it when cutting, this material is expensive, and it can't be scraped or scratched.
Mama Cao said yes, as if holding a baby, she cautiously returned to the embroidery workshop.
Luo Chan is happy, she has never been so happy for so many years, and for the first time she has the pleasure of being a young lady.
When I returned home, my heart was full of expectations, and I couldn't wait to put on new clothes tomorrow, so that I could carry it to Rong's house, and see Rong Jue as soon as possible.
She picked up the needle and thread and tried to continue embroidering the sachet, but the needle and thread stopped in mid-air, but she didn't want to move a stitch. There was nowhere to stop a heart, and after settling down, I called Liu'er.
"You go and see what the second lady is doing? Do you have any gifts to bring to the Rong family? ”
Liu Er answered and went out. After a while, I came back and said that the second lady's yard had set up a vermilion swing. asked Jiu'er, saying that the second lady only felt happier yesterday, and she didn't prepare any gifts to go to Rong's house.
She neither makes clothes nor prepares gifts. Could it be that she was wearing her old shirt and looking at her aunt and grandmother empty-handed?
Luo Chan simply put down the needle and thread and paced to Ji Garden alone.
Seeing this cheerful scene from afar, Luo Chan couldn't help but suspect that Luo Yan had recently fallen ill and had a bad brain.
Luo Yan loves to read and write, occasionally playing the piano and painting. It's either a sad spring, or a sad autumn. I especially like to light a stove of incense in the bright afternoon, fiddle with black and white chess pieces, and study the puzzle according to the chess game.
Luo Yan was four years old and seven-year-old Luo Chan studied at the same time, but she learned better and faster than Luo Chan everywhere. Luo Chan often works hard behind her back, but she is still as smart as Luo Yan.
Looking at it now, Luo Yan doesn't like to read, and she doesn't have any elegance, she fights with the maid, where is there still a little bit of the demeanor of a boudoir lady!
Luo Chan was smart, but she couldn't think of a reason.
saw that Luo Yan was already sitting on the cushion of the swing board and clutched the rope tightly. Jiu'er pushed her behind, wearing a moon-white skirt, and with her cheers, two embroidered shoes embroidered with butterflies and peonies flickered.
Unorthodox!
Luo Chan sighed secretly in her heart, and suddenly smiled again, with a look of relief on her face. Returning briskly to his room, his heart gradually swelled with tenderness. I picked up the plain satin sachet and picked up the needle and thread and embroidered it carefully.
Besides, Luo Yan couldn't feel comfortable sitting on the swing, so Jiu'er stopped, and she supported the ground with her feet to stop the swing.
The woman thought she was going to rest, so she went over to help her.
But she smiled mischievously and asked the girl to take the cushion away. A pair of embroidered shoes stood on the swing board, two white and smooth little hands held the rope, and shouted, "Jiu'er, be taller, don't stop!" ”
The girl's face turned pale with fright, and she shouted: "I can't help it, I can't help it!" Come down, Miss let the slave maid's life be lost......"
Yu'er's voice was crying, Jiu'er quickly stopped her hand, and stood there in a panic shouting: "Stop, stop, the slave doesn't dare to be leisurely!" ”
Luo Yan took advantage of the strength under her feet, raised her knees, and exerted herself forward and backward, and the swing threw an arc in the air.
Looking at the sunset on the horizon, she closed her eyes intoxicated, the wind blew in her ears, and the frightened sounds of Fu'er and Jiu'er hit her eardrums.
Fu'er and Jiu'er finally worked together to stop Luo Yan's swing, and the two of them half-pulled and half-dragged Luo Yan off the swing.
The girl kept patting her chest, "Miss doesn't want the slave to live, the illness is just right, and it's scary like this!" As he spoke, his eyes turned red.
"It's just a swing, take a look at the heights that can't be touched, the scenery is really different, and you two will also go down tomorrow." Luo Yan patted her sleeve and entered the house with a smile.
peach and plum are in the spring darkness,
Who's on the swing, laughing and whispering.
A thousand hearts,
There is no place in the world.
Luo Yan took off her sweaty gown and said casually.
A lot of heart...... I can't help but feel a little sentimental.
Scenes from the past floated in front of her eyes like a marquee. In this life, we should never see each other, but my daughter's family is from her parents, and the Rong family seems to have to go.
