Chapter 34: Under the Sunset

The three maids Huancui, Liuzhu and Qinfei were all renamed exquisitely. Coupled with Xingyu, there is water in the names of the four people, and Linglong smiled and said that he would not be afraid of drought in the future.

These three bowls of water used to be burned in the fire room, and they were not ugly, but they were smoky and unkempt over the years, and their necks were swarthy like charcoal.

Xingyu held them down, rubbed and rubbed them with fragrant pancreas, and washed them fragrantly, which restored their original color.

The fourth lady, Linlang, asked the personal maid to find a few clothes, and Linlang Xu Xu sewed new ones for them when she returned home, and asked them to take out the clothes first and change them into three bowls of water. These clothes are new, and at first glance, they are newly made by the maids and are reluctant to wear.

The three bowls of water changed their clothes, and they were all little girls like flowers, but they were a little restrained.

"This is like the appearance of the waiting lady, and it is worthy of the new name that your young lady changed to you." Linlang not only inherited Nie's bright appearance, but also had Nie's cheerful personality.

Linglong is very close to this cousin, and she likes her cousin's temperament. She smiled: "Thank you Fourth Sister, I am still thinking about where to find clothes for them, Fourth Sister has done me a great favor." ”

Linlang also smiled: "Where can you be so polite, I have taken a fancy to your purse, if you really want to thank me, embroider a purse for me." ”

Linglong grinned: "What is a purse, if the fourth sister doesn't dislike it, I will embroider a screen for you as a dowry." ”

Linlang's eyes lit up, she had long been in love with the exquisite embroidery skills, although the little cousin was only twelve years old, it was a little difficult for her to embroider the screen, but Linlang was not born to be a polite person of her mother-in-law, and said honestly and politely: "That dare to be kind, I don't like flowers, birds, fish and insects, you embroider me with eight Bogu fans, and I will put it in the study." ”

Linglong smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll start embroidering tomorrow to ensure that I won't delay the fourth sister's dowry." ”

When it came to getting married, Linlang Xing's face was slightly red, and when she saw Linglong picking up the needlework in her hand again, she pulled her up: "Great scenery, don't hide in the house all day long to do needlework, be careful to get your eyes spent, let's go out for a walk." ”

Linglong glanced at the sky, it was almost evening, she remembered that her mother didn't want to go far, so she said: "It's almost dinner, let's go to this neighborhood first, and let's go far away tomorrow morning while it's cool." ”

Linlang had long been thinking about the beautiful scenery outside, and before Linglong finished speaking, she pulled her and walked out.

When Jin Shun's daughter-in-law heard that the two young ladies were going out, she asked the two daughters-in-law who had come before to go with her, so as not to get lost.

Jin Shun's daughter-in-law is a safe worker, and when she heard that the fourth lady was waiting to be married, she picked these two Quanhe people to call the young ladies. One of these two people is from Wang Er's family, and the other is Gui's sister-in-law, they are both born to a family, and the whole family is working in the Jin family.

There is a sheep intestine path behind Zhuangzi, winding upward, on both sides of the path are clusters of mountain rhododendrons, red and gorgeous, and it is just right at this time.

The two daughters-in-law are in the mountains all the year round, and their foot strength is very good, but a few young maids are left behind. Linlang and Linglong are the age of fun, leaving these people behind, the two trotted up the hill, Linglong's steps were light, but Linlang was already panting.

Linglong didn't go any further, she stood halfway up the hill and looked around. At this time, the golden wuxi sinks, and the red clouds reflect the red sky. Clusters of rhododendrons swaying in the breeze, with some layers of red waves, and the clouds in the sky reflect each other, standing here, only feel the clouds steaming, the sky and the ground are a piece of golden red.

The two daughters-in-law and a few maids also came up, and the second daughter-in-law pointed to a fruit tree not far away and said: "The fruit trees there are all from the Jin family, and it is still a little early at this time, and it is best to wait until autumn, there are hawthorns, walnuts, persimmons and jujube trees." ”

Linglong looked at the forest not far away and asked, "Is there prey in that forest?" ”

On the way here, she listened to her second cousin Jin Zihuan talk about hunting with her fifth brother, and Linglong was itchy to hear it, and she also wanted to try her skills.

Wang's second daughter-in-law said: "There are too many people coming and going here, wild things don't come here, but there are mushrooms in the forest after the rain, use this fresh mushroom to cook soup and stew, the taste is delicious, hunting to go to the back of the mountain, you can hunt all kinds of game after the fog pavilion, the second master and the fifth master also hunted a big wild boar in the spring." ”

Hearing that there was no game here, Linglong was a little disappointed, but when she heard the wild boar, her spirit immediately came.

"Wild boar? There are wild boars here, huh? ”

Wang's second daughter-in-law smiled: "Yes, the second master is the most sympathetic to us, and he also gave the wild boar gall to my family's mouth in exchange for ten taels of silver." ”

Wild boar gall can be used as medicine, and the farmers in the mountains are regarded as treasures.

Linglong was about to ask again, but saw several horses coming out of the forest one after the other.

I couldn't see it clearly from a distance, but when I got a little closer, Linglong recognized the young man who was walking in front and riding a white horse on the road!

The young man was covered with black gold-rimmed arrow sleeves, and the afterglow of the setting sun fell on his body, like a gold edge, which was dazzling. Several young men in strong suits followed him not far away, all carrying bows and arrows.

The boy's face was the exact opposite of the warm afterglow, and it seemed to be a little impatient.

Looking at their dress, it was obvious that they had also come to hunt in the woods, but they didn't expect that there was no prey in the woods, so they could only return empty-handed, no wonder the young man was unhappy.

The place where Linglong and the others stood was a fork in the road, and several horses came towards them, thinking that they were going to turn from here to the fog pavilion on the other side of the mountain.

Wang's second daughter-in-law and Gui's sister-in-law saw that there were men, and hurriedly protected the two young ladies to the side, blocking in front of them, lest they be seen by these men who don't know their origin and cause trouble.

Linglong is curious, she likes to look at bronzed-skinned teenagers, and it would be better if this teenager wasn't so cold and arrogant.

It's just that she hasn't grown up yet, she's short, and she's blocked by two tall and sturdy mothers-in-law, and she can't see it if she wants to.

But listening to Linlang on the side, he snickered: "I thought he didn't come to Xiling, but I didn't expect to meet him here again." ”

Linglong squeezed her eyes at her, learned the tone of her second cousin, and whispered: "Fourth sister, you are engaged, you can't look around, let Li Erlang know, I will go to find someone to fight hard." ”

Linlang's face turned red, and she took a sip, but said: "You are not allowed to look at it, don't forget that you are also engaged, let Xu Erye know, and go to someone to work hard." ”

Linglong was stunned, it turned out that in the eyes of others, she was also a betrothed person.

Is that Xu Tingshen?

Since Jin Yuan made such a fuss at the dragon boat meeting, Linglong intuitively has nothing to do with Xu Tingshen, and now listening to Linlang, she realized that no matter what the Song family and Jin Yuan think, and no matter what her brother Jin Zifeng did in the middle, it is an indisputable fact that she and Xu Tingshen have been engaged since childhood.

It stands to reason that the Xu family has seen it, and then it is time to formally invite someone to come to the door to propose marriage, but the Xu family has not moved.

Linglong thought, maybe because of the dragon boat meeting, the Xu family didn't want their son to marry any of the young ladies of the Jin family, so this family affair would be stopped.

Thinking of this, Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, she was only twelve years old, she still had a lot of things to do, and it was better to marry later, later.
