After the three of them left, Zou Yichen remembered the paper kite he was still holding in his hand when he fell.

"Where is that paper kite now?"

Zhining said: "That day, the second lady happened to come to see Miss, and when she saw that Miss was not there, she asked the slave maid to find Miss. The slave maid found that the young lady fell to the ground and the blood was not stopping, so she hurriedly hugged the young lady back, and the second lady saw that the young lady was holding the paper kite in her hand and couldn't take it away, so she ripped off the paper kite in a fit of anger and let the slave and maid burn it. ”

"Burned?"

"No, the slave maid thought that the young lady was holding the paper kite tightly, and she must be very concerned about it, so she secretly hid it."

"It's rare that you're so thoughtful, if only your mother were so thoughtful. You take it over and I want to see it."

Zou Yichen was holding a paper kite in her hand, but the paper kite had a broken wing, and she touched the broken skeleton.

Zi Nan: "This paper kite is no longer usable, and the ornamental pattern is very beautiful!" ”

"Who says it can't be used?" Zou Yichen said with a smile. "I'm going to make it work, and I'm going to make it fly."

Zhining and Zinan were puzzled.

Zou Yichen instructed the two maids: "You will know later, Zinan, you go to find some bamboo first, and then find a short knife." Zhining, you go to the study to get a few pieces of paper, and then go get some paste. ”

After a while, Zou Yichen split the bamboo into bamboo strips and folded them into a new skeleton. Carefully tear the paper of the old paper kite along the gaps, spread it under the new bamboo skeleton, and paste it with paste.

"Miss, how can you be a paper kite?" Zhining was surprised and delighted.

Zou Yichen said with a smile: "What I just said, I want to make it not only usable, but also flying." Then, meaningfully, he added, "I remember not liking paper kites, but when I first picked them up, I felt very happy, like something I had liked for a long time." Zou Yichen put down the paper kite and joked: "I unconsciously remembered the method of making paper kites." ”

"The young lady once told the slave that she didn't think it was exciting enough to release the paper kite, so she didn't want to participate in the paper kite competition." Zinan said truthfully. "It turns out that Miss likes paper kites very much, so we can participate in the paper kite competition."

"It's also strange, I really felt disgusted before." Zou Yichen couldn't help but smile when he remembered that he was in love with paper kites now. "As for the paper kite competition, I haven't thought about it yet. Although the back room and horses of the Hou Mansion are really attractive, my mother also told me not to provoke Sister Meichen. ”

"Miss still has time to decide, but I don't know if I can get through the big lady."

"I'll find a way for my mother to convince my aunt." Zou Yichen said.

A few days later, Lan was in the room to read the accounts, and Mama Zhou stepped forward with tea and snacks.

"Is there any news about the situation that asked you to investigate?" Lan put down the account and asked Mama Zhou.

"Madam, Mademoiselle has not caused trouble, but lately, this ...... Something is a little strange? So far, the slave and maid have not figured it out, and I don't know if to talk about it or not? Mama Zhou hesitated.

"Oh, tell me about it."

She put down the tea and snacks and said, "Recently, Madame didn't let the slave maid go to the pharmacy to catch some fat sea, who knew that she met Miss's maid there, Zhining." At first, the slave maid didn't feel that anything was inappropriate, but she told the doctor that the prescription needed to be modified for a few flavors, and the slave and maid became alert. After she left, the slave maid asked the doctor to see what was wrong with her changing these herbs, but the doctor actually praised her, saying that these herbs were really wonderful. One more point is not too much, one point less is not too much. ”

"And such a thing?"

"Madam, this is not the strangest, the strangest thing is that the slave maid learned that a few days ago, the decoction for Mrs. to cure allergies was not prescribed by the doctor, but by the doctor who Zhining took the prescription and went directly to him. The doctor had seen these prescriptions, and even said that this prescription was a rare and good prescription, so he wanted to visit the elder who prescribed the medicine. You see. As he spoke, he handed over the transcription.

"Oh?" Lan Shi took the prescription in surprise, looked at it and said: "I don't know medical skills, but this prescription does treat my allergy to this flower and herb. Then you look to see who did it. ”

Lan pinned the recipe into his sleeve, and then said: "By the way, in a few days, it will be the day of the flower feast and the paper kite competition, Yichen has been shouting for a long time, looking forward to this day coming sooner." The more she looked forward to going, the more scared I became. I've been thinking about it for the past few days, how can I keep her out of any trouble that day, and I have to go after thinking about it. ”

When Mama Zhou heard that the Lan family was going, she said with a smile on her face. "If Madame can accompany Miss, Miss knows how happy she will be."

On the day of the cherry blossom feast.

Lan was just about to change clothes in the room, and Mama Zhou knocked on the door with Lan's mother's letter.

"Madame, my mother's letter."

When Lan heard that it was his mother's letter, he hurriedly opened the door, couldn't wait to open the letter, looked at it twice, and showed a trace of displeasure after a while.

Without waiting for Mama Zhou to ask, Lan said: "My brother is coming to Shengjing to open a store, he has set off from his hometown ten days ago, and he should arrive in Shengjing today, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to the flower viewing banquet and the paper kite competition." What can I do? Thinking of his daughter Zou Yichen, the Lan family was inevitably a little worried.

"Mother? Mother? Zou Yichen came to his mother's room with a paper kite and probed his brain to find his mother.

"Miss, Madame has gone to find the eldest lady." Mama Zhou replied.

It turned out that after thinking about it, Lan felt that he didn't go to this naughty Yichen, but there would be no one to take care of him, and if he was on a business trip and he was not there, the eldest master would definitely blame him. Thinking that Zou Yichen would be afraid of the eldest lady no matter how much he messed around, he got up and went to the eldest lady's house.

The eldest lady Wang is Zou Lanming's wife, Zhou Lanming is the eldest son of the Zou family, and the other brothers of the Zou family are naturally afraid of him. Many major matters are decided by him, and the affairs of his family naturally fall on the Wang family.

"Then I'll wait for her here." Zou Yichen spoke softly, slowly sat on the chair, and waited for his mother.

"Then sister, the little girl will leave it to you." As he spoke, Lan took out some naked silver and handed it to the eldest lady Wang.

"How embarrassing is this, I shouldn't have taken this naked silver, it's my duty to take care of these children." With that, he still shoved the bare silver into his sleeve.

"Then there's Sister Lao." With that, Lan saluted, didn't stay long, and returned to his residence.

"Yichen, get up quickly, and go to the Hou Mansion with the eldest lady in a while." Before the words fell, Lan pulled up his daughter who was sitting in the chair.

"Mother, I ......"

"You go back, take your two maids, and quickly go to find the eldest lady, mother is going to the inn, so I won't accompany you." Lan interrupted his daughter's words and didn't give Zou Yichen the slightest chance to speak.

On one side of the carriage sat the eldest lady Wang and her heirs, and Wang glanced at Zou Yichen on the other side, and a sense of disgust suddenly arose, and said; "Your mother gave you to me, and she forced you to me with a few taels of naked silver, and it seems that in the eyes of your mother, you are worth these few taels of silver. As for your mother, she smells of copper, and she is too unaware of her well-known. ”

Zou Yichen was a little annoyed and angry when he heard this, but for some reason, this expression was fleeting, and he smiled slightly and quipped: "What do I know about adults." Besides, how can you know how my mother treated me, and you are not a roundworm in my mother's belly. ”

Wang listened to Zou Yichen's eloquence so cleverly, he didn't know how to answer, he wanted to use this to stimulate this girl, so that he could find some excuses to drive her home, save it as an eyesore, this is good, stealing chickens is not a loss of rice, and his face is red and white.
