As soon as it enters May, there are more tourists in the western suburbs of the capital. www.biquge.info Although it is not the season for nasturtiums to bloom at this time, the green waves of the pond are rolling, a few buds emerging from the green waves, and the fragrance of lotus leaves can be smelled everywhere, all of which make people linger.

Entering June, it is the time when the lotus flower is the most lush and the lotus fragrance is the most beautiful, but the tourists are not there. Because, several noble families living here are coming to escape the summer again, and idle people can no longer enter this realm at will. The subordinates of several Zhuangzi also began to get busy, preparing to welcome the arrival of the master.

The first to come here were the old marquis Qian and his wife Wu from the Mei Courtyard. At the beginning of the year, Qian Sangui, the former township Marquis, had passed the title to his son Qian Manjiang and began to enjoy the blessings of the Qing Dynasty.

The second group to come here were Zhu Suji, the prince of Yonghe and the princess Qian Yijing of Taoyuan. The peach courtyard was the dowry of the aunt and grandmother of the Qian family, and was later given to Princess Yonghe. Princess Yonghe married in February this year, and she was more than three months pregnant at this time. Because the capital was too hot, he came to the countryside to escape the summer, and Yonghe, who loved his wife, also came.

Prince Yonghe responded to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but he would not go to the yamen every day, but mainly wrote a book at home, the tentative title of which was "Travels to the West".

The third group to come here were Liang Laoguo and Pan Juma, Liang Lao Guogong lived in the Liang family's orchid courtyard, and Pan Juma lived in his own bamboo courtyard.

Two years ago, Pan Juma built a yard a few hundred meters away from the east of the Orchid Courtyard, and there was still an artificial lake full of golden lotus root in the yard, and hundreds of green bamboos were planted around the lake, so it was named Bamboo Courtyard.

Mrs. Liang also wanted to come with the old man to escape the summer, but she was still indispensable in the house. Although the Cui family is capable, due to the identity of the daughter of the criminal minister, many things still require the old lady to come forward in person.

The fourth group of people who came here arrived at the Orchid Courtyard at the end of noon on the 16th. Qian Yixiu led Liang Sicheng, Liang Sixin, and Liang Sisi to get out of the carriage, because Liang Laoguo was just taking a lunch break, a few people didn't bother him, first went back to the courtyard to take a bath, and then ate in the upper room.

This small courtyard is called Lancao Garden, which is the courtyard where Liang Jinzhao and Qian Yixiu's family came to live here. The courtyard is not large, only three upper rooms, and three east and west wings. Qian Yixiu and his family live in the upper room, the two sons live in the east chamber, and Sisi lives in the west chamber.

It is true that the countryside is cooler than the city, and even on the hottest day, there is still a gentle breeze with a faint smell of flowers in the wind. Even the birds in the trees seem to chirp more clearly than the birds in the city.

As soon as they came here, Qian Yixiu, who was still dizzy, sobered up, and the three children were even more energetic, and they were discussing going out to play while eating.

Because Brother Monkey's family didn't pick them up at the first time, they guessed that they must have gone into the mountains to play, which was a pity. If they are there, they can also go to the shallow places in the mountains to play.

The two boys Qian Yixiu will not be restrained, she has always felt that the boy should be free-range. They have been restrained in the mansion, and it is difficult to come out and let them go.

But she didn't want Sisi to go out now, it was too hot, afraid that she would suffer from heat stroke, and she was afraid of tanning her.

So he persuaded, "Si Si obediently, when the sun goes down or the sun is not too strong in the morning, my mother will go for a walk by the pond with you." Now that the sun is too big, it's not beautiful for girls to tan. ”

Sisi's small mouth curled, tangled to death. I don't want to get a tan, but I also want to follow my brother to play outside.

As they were talking, the next person came to report that the prince and princess of Yonghe, as well as the old marquis of Qian, had come to the Lan Courtyard and were talking in the hall of the outer courtyard.

Xinxin smiled, "Grandpa is an anxious child, and my aunt and uncle-in-law can't wait." ”

Several people hurriedly finished their meals and went to the outer courtyard.

When they came to the hall of the outer courtyard, Liang Lao Guogong was also there, and he was accompanying the three noble grandfathers, Zhu Suji, and Qian Yijing to drink tea and talk.

Although Zhu Suji is the prince, he regards himself as a junior in the Qian family and the Liang family, and resolutely does not sit on the throne. At this time, he sat on the circle chair on the left, smiling and greeting Qian Yixiu and a few others. And on the upper seat, sat Liang Laoguo and Qian Sangui.

Qian Yixiu and a few people went to meet the two old people. After that, Qian Yixiu sat next to Qian Yijing, and the calm Chengcheng sat next to Zhu Suji. Sisi ran to be coquettish with Liang Laoguogong, and Xinxin ran to rely on Qian Sangui.

Qian Yixiu smiled and said to Qian Sangui, "Grandpa, you can't walk well, you should wait for us in the Mei Courtyard to greet you." ”

The third noble grandfather is fifty-nine years old this year, and his body is quite tough, but he is very old-looking. Compared with Liang Laoguogong, who is eight years older than him, he looks much older, like someone's big brother. Compared with Pan Fuma, who is the same age as him, it is even more amazing, like someone's uncle.

Qian Sangui looked at their mothers dotingly, and said with a smile, "I want you to be tight, I can't wait to see Xiu'er and my great-grandson." ”

Influenced by Pan Yue at the beginning, the Qian family expressed their family affection more bluntly. Liang Laoguo has been getting along with them for so many years, and he is still a little unaccustomed to it. Seeing Qian Sangui's style, he quickly picked up the teacup and took two sips to clear his throat.

Qian Yijing asked, "Sister, didn't you say that the three princesses were going to come to the countryside to play, why didn't they come with you?" ”

At this time, Qian Yijing was already a little nostalgic, wearing a sky blue embroidered green calyx plum pattern engraved silk short dress, and a light blue sprinkled cloud satin pleated long skirt. The previous little melon seed face has become a goose egg face, and there is a double chin. At this time, she is less beautiful and dusty when she was a girl, and more happy and charming as a mother.

Qian Yixiu smiled, "They have to come a few days late." Then he whispered, "I heard that he was coming to escape the heat, and they will come with him." ”

Liang Laoguo pointed to his head with his index finger and exclaimed, "Is that one?" ”

Qian Yixiu nodded.

Qian Sangui sighed, "No wonder people have come and gone in the Chrysanthemum Courtyard these days, but it turns out that the one is coming, and it is indeed necessary to take precautions." ”

Xinxin still didn't quite understand why her mother didn't wait for the three princess sisters, and said reluctantly, "Sister Ai cried when she heard that we didn't wait for her. ”

Qian Yijing smiled and teased him, "I know that I love my sister at a young age, and I am not ashamed." ”

Xinxin blushed, and said with a cocked mouth, "Auntie is bad at learning, how can you say that about juniors." I'm talking about Sister Ai, not 'loving sister'. ”

Everyone laughed.

Qian Sangui said disapprovingly to Qian Yijing, "You are an aunt, don't wait to joke with your nephew like this." ”

As he was talking, Pan Pony came.

Grandpa Pan was wearing a silver-white embroidered brocade wide-sleeved robe, even though his hair was gray, he still had a gorgeous temperament like a middle-aged fairy. Since this year, the Pan family, which has been dormant for more than ten years, has officially appeared. The leader is the grandson of the head of the Pan family, nineteen-year-old Pan Zhanjie, Brother Jie. He took the first place in this year's Spring Examination, and was named the champion by the emperor in the palace examination, and he has entered the Hanlin Academy.

Qian Yixiu and a few children got up and saluted Pan Fuma. Zhu Suji and Chengcheng moved their seats, and he sat in Zhu Suji's seat before. Sisi saw the beautiful grandfather coming, and ran to lean on his arms again.

Pan Juma likes Sisi very much, and thinks she is like the moon more than thirty years ago. Seeing Sisi so close to him, the smile in his eyes deepened.

After a few people talked for a while, Chengcheng and Xinxin got up and said that they were going to play outside.

Qian Yixiu nodded in agreement and told them not to go far. He turned around and asked his mother-in-law to go outside and order, and a few more little girls followed the young master. Nothing will happen here, but just in case.

Chengcheng and Xinxin are nine years old this year, and have been coming here for a while almost every year since the age of three, not only are they very familiar with the terrain here, but they also have a good time with a few country boys here.

Of the six children, four were the children of the Zhuangzi people, and two were the children of the lotus root farmers.

Sisi saw that her brother was going out to play, and she looked at her mother with red eyes, and she wanted to go too.

Chengcheng and Xinxin couldn't see their sister sad the most, so they begged Qian Yixiu, "Mother, we won't take my sister to play under the sun, we will play in the peach forest." ”

Qian Yixiu was also reluctant to be sad for her daughter, but seeing that the sun was too big outside, she still didn't agree.

Seeing Sisi's tears, Pan Juma smiled, "Let's go, grandpa will teach you to draw Danqing." ”

Sisi likes to paint, and when she heard it, she burst into tears and laughed, and took her grandfather to the orchid garden.

Chengcheng and Xinxin saw that their sister was no longer on the road, so they walked out.

When the six boys heard that Young Master Cheng and Young Master Xin were coming, they had already invited them to come to the door of the Orchid Courtyard. They were waiting under a huge old locust tree, when they saw six little maids and two beautiful young masters wearing cloud white soft silk embroidered robes and combing through the gate.

Of these two little masters, the tall and strong one is the eldest young master Liang Sicheng, and the thin and extremely handsome one is the second young master Liang Sixin.

A few children ran over and said, "The kid has seen the eldest young master, the second young master." "There are a few bird's nests at the foot of the mountain, and we are not willing to dig them up, so we are waiting for the two young masters to come." ”

Chengcheng and Xinxin smiled and asked the little guy to reward them with a purse, and then ran to the west together.

Qian Yixiu sent someone to the Mei Courtyard to invite the Wu family, and everyone would have dinner in the Orchid Courtyard.

Before the meal, Chengcheng and Xinxin ran back dirty, and they came back with Brother Monkey's family and Dog's family. Under the leadership of Brother Monkey, the animal house went to the mountains for two days.

Jumping and Xiaoxiao are still in the Guiyuan Garden in Huaxi Village, where people have written that they are so old that they have lost only two teeth, but their spirits are still good, and they will walk around the Guiyuan twice a day.

Lightning, silver wind, joy, and laughter have also entered old age. Perhaps due to the fact that they have eaten the double-headed golden oolong, although they are not as agile as they were when they were young, they can still run and move, and they are much healthier than dogs of the same age.

Tuan Tuan ate the grass by the nest again, and gave birth to a little with Yuanyuan, named Xiaoshan. Xiaoshan has the same ability as his ancestor Dashan, and found a black wolfdog from outside to go home, and the wolfdog named it Black Wolf. The two dogs were given such names in honor of the mountain and the white wolf.

So, now there are eight members of the dog house. Coupled with Brother Monkey's family of four, the animal family has a total of twelve members, and it is still a huge family.

Qian Yixiu is not sure how old the red flame monkey can live, but he thinks that Brother Monkey and Sister Monkey should still be in the prime of life. Brother Monkey's family will not have such a short life span as the dog family. This realization made Qian Yixiu, Zhu Sujin, and Zhu Suji extremely happy.

Qian Yixiu and the others greeted the animal house with a smile. The animal house had already washed their bodies in the stream outside, and Qian Yixiu asked the two little brothers to go to the orchid garden to bathe.

Because Brother Monkey's family came back, Qian Yixiu handed over the clam shell necklace to Zhu Suji when people were not paying attention. They have already made a good excuse, and tomorrow they will let the pearl baby and the squirrel baby come out to get along with others openly.

After the meal, everyone talked for a while, and then they went back to their respective homes, the dog family went back to the chrysanthemum courtyard, and the monkey brother family followed Zhu Suji to the peach courtyard. Tomorrow, Zhu Suji will lead Brother Monkey's family to Baoguo Temple.

Sisi came to the countryside and didn't go out yet, so Qian Yixiu led the children to go around the lotus pond near the Orchid Courtyard. By the way, I sent Grandpa Pan, Grandpa Sangui, and Grandma Wu home.

The next night, several families gathered in the Plum Courtyard for dinner.

Before dinner, Zhu Suji, who went to Daci Temple to visit Master Hongzhi, and Brother Monkey's family returned. He also brought a little guest with a little squirrel in his hand.

This little boy was only a little more than a year old, wearing a red embroidered belly pocket and red open crotch shorts, with a tile head, and he was chubby, round, white and beautiful.

Especially the expectant mother Qian Yijing, her eyes were round, and she exclaimed, "Oh, my God, so cute, so handsome." ”

Sisi also stepped forward and pulled him rarely, saying, "Which family's little brother is so beautiful." And this little squirrel, so cute. ”

Chengcheng and Sisi also ran to the child, but the child was not afraid at all, and looked at them with round eyes.

Zhu Suji said with a smile, "He is a child that Master Hongzhi picked up in the mountains a few days ago, and he doesn't know where his home is, he only knows that his name is Zhuwa." I saw that he was really cute, so I took him to live with him for a few days, and then returned it to them when his family found him. ”

Zhuwa grinned, and the neat millet teeth in her mouth were like small white pearls. He smiled, "Uncle Zhu, your family is so nice, so hospitable. "The voice is glutinous, and the age of the mouth is clear.

This made Wu and Qian Yijing exclaim incredulously, "God, such a young child can speak." ”

Zhuwa smiled, "I'm not young, I'm almost two years old." It's just that he's a little short, giving people an illusion. ”

This made the crowd laugh again.

Then Zhu Suji led Zhuwa to introduce them one by one, this is Grandpa Liang, Grandpa Pan, Grandpa Qian, Grandma Qian, Aunt Zhu, Aunt Liang......

Zhuwa was very obedient and shouted people one by one, but she didn't call Qian Yixiu Liang's aunt, and tilted her head to look at her and said, "You are not like my aunt, like my mother, I want to call you mother." Mother-"

Before Qian Yixiu could speak, Sisi pulled Qian Yixiu and said urgently, "Mother, Brother Zhuwa called your mother to kiss, quickly agree." ”

Chengcheng and Xinxin also said urgently, "Mother, quickly agree, we want him to be our younger brother." ”

Seeing that Qian Yixiu didn't agree immediately, a layer of mist welled up in her big eyes, and her little nose sucked in and said, "Don't you think I'm not cute?" Don't you want to be my mother? ”

Qian Yixiu hurriedly picked him up, kissed his little face and smiled, "You are so cute, of course I want to be your mother." ”
