After a pillar of incense, Ruya touched her bulging belly and said with a wry smile: "It's all my sister's fault that this thing is so delicious, and I unconsciously supported it." ”

Yan Xiaoyue wiped the corners of her mouth, got up and said with a smile: "Okay, it's all my sister's fault, that sister will make amends for you, and accompany you to the garden to eat." ”

Ruya stood up and smiled, "Sister Xiaoyue is the best." ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled, and walked in the direction of Ruya's Jinyuan.

"This brocade garden is also very beautiful, sister, you are really amazing, there are so many gardens."

Yan Xiaoyue smiled at Ruya's childish words, "If Ruya likes it, then take a good look, in fact, this garden is good or not, it's like that after watching it for a long time." ”

"No wonder my sister doesn't go to live in the county lord's mansion with such a beautiful county, it's used to it."

Yan Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment and explained: "It's not, this Jinyuan here is my sister's home, no matter how good the county lord's mansion is, it is too remote after all, and it is not convenient to live there, at most, it is to wait for the weather to ......heat up."

Before Yan Xiaoyue could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Ruya's exclamation, "Sister, is this the hundred-year-old ginkgo in your house?" It's so beautiful! I didn't believe it when Sister Siyao talked about it yesterday, where would there be a century-old tree. ”

Yan Xiaoyue looked at Ruya and ran towards the tall and thick ginkgo tree with an excited face. At this time, the ginkgo biloba has unfolded green buds, and a lush tender green looks vibrant, which is particularly eye-catching.

Ruya turned her back to Yan Xiaoyue, excitedly hugged the trunk of the ginkgo tree, her eyes were full of tears, her hands clasped the trunk vigorously, and she kept taking deep breaths. In the place where everyone could not see, Ruya cut her little finger with her fingernails. A drop of bright red blood dripped on the ground and disappeared in an instant, and Yan Xiaoyue, who was standing against the wind behind her, did not notice it at all.

Ruya walked over, with an excited look on her face, "Sister, this tree is so big, thicker than my waist." I can't hold my hands even when I reach out. It turns out that the hundred-year-old trees are all like this. ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled bitterly, looking at this ginkgo tree with a complicated expression, and after moving to Jinyuan. She began to avoid this ginkgo tree intentionally or unintentionally, even the ginkgo on the side of the upper courtyard, the old lady didn't let people take special care of it, but I heard Bi'er and them say that it also grew very luxuriant.

Ruya didn't care about Yan Xiaoyue's expression. continued: "Sister, I heard that there is a century-old ginkgo tree in your house. Is it the same as this one, can you take Ruya to see it? Ruya is leaving tomorrow, and I can show off to my family when I return to my hometown, I have seen such rare things in the imperial city. ”

Yan Xiaoyue cleaned up her mood. Thinking that maybe the Jiang family was too nervous about this, and they hadn't seen anything unusual in a few years, didn't they?

"The other tree is over there in the upper courtyard, and it's still some distance from here." After seeing the dejected look on Ruya's face. He said, "Then let's go over there." ”

Ruya immediately jumped up and smiled: "Sister Xiaoyue, you are really good. ”

Yan Xiaoyue reached out and helped her. "You're naughty. Let's go, then. ”

When she saw another ginkgo tree in the upper courtyard, Ruya still had a close contact with the big tree very enthusiastically, and her smile was like a flower, as dazzling as the sun in the sky.

"Alright, the sun is getting bigger, let's go back."

Ruya approached Yan Xiaoyue warmly, looking extremely happy, "Sister Xiaoyue, thank you." ”

Yan Xiaoyue led the way back, "Look at you are really childlike, and the two trees are so happy for you." ”

Ruya turned her head and looked at the tall ginkgo tree feverishly, lowered her eyes to look for the one on the ground, and followed with a smile after seeing the flash of red.

Back at Yanyue Residence, Ruya took out a small box, "Sister Yue, thank you really today, thank you for being so good to me, I don't have anything else to give you when I leave the house, this is a little gadget I made myself, I hope my sister can like it." ”

Yan Xiaoyue smiled: "Didn't you say it, you don't need to be so polite with your sister." ”

Ruya stuffed the box into Yan Xiaoyue's hand, "Sister doesn't accept it, she looks down on Ruya." ”

No, Yan Xiaoyue had to take it, and was about to open it, but Ruya hurriedly stopped her: "Don't, can my sister wait until the evening to open it and see it, I'll ......"

Yan Xiaoyue raised her eyes and saw Ruya's cramped appearance, so she put away the box and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll open it at night." ”

Ruya blushed and smiled happily, "Then, Sister Yue, I'll go back first, I'll go to Lingnan with Mu Gongzi tomorrow, and I won't come to say goodbye to you at that time." ”

Yan Xiaoyue glanced at Bi'er and took a package from Bi'er, "Ruya, my sister also has something else to give you, the two sets of dresses and a little jewelry here, you can take it and keep a thought, and you will often write to me when you go home in the future, do you know?" ”

Ruya nodded vigorously, "Sister Yue, then I'll go back first, I haven't packed my things yet." ”

After sending Ruya out of the house, Bi'er smiled on the side: "This Ruya girl is really big-hearted, and she is not reluctant to be sad when she wants to leave, and the slave is very happy to look at her." ”

Yan Xiaoyue was taking a step, she felt a little weird, but she couldn't tell where it was strange for a while, Jing Bi'er said casually, it was really accurate, according to Ruya's intention for Mu Zigui, let her leave the imperial city, she should have thousands of reluctance, why did she smile so happily today, without a little reluctance?

Yan Xiaoyue, who couldn't figure it out, finally had to attribute this to Ruya's homesickness.

I went back to Yanyueju, called hot water to soak in a comfortable bath, and then washed away the fatigue brought out by visiting the garden, put on a loose skirt of regular clothes, made of Yuehua brocade, and only embroidered the peony pattern on the collar and cuffs.

"Master, I put the box given by Miss Ruya into the inner room. Do you think it's time to pass the meal? I'm afraid the second girl is coming over in the afternoon. ”

Yan Xiaoyue nodded, took a nap after eating, then got up to clean up, put on a pomegranate red wagging fairy dress, sat on the couch in the outer room and read a book, and without turning two pages, Bi'er led someone in.

"Sister-in-law is so blessed, but my sister has been running around for a day, but the heat is bad for me."

Hearing the voice, Yan Xiaoyue put down the book in her hand and said to Zhu Er: "Go and bring the prepared juice over to quench the thirst of a few girls and the second young lady." ”

Facing Jiang Siyao, he asked, "Why did you come at this time?" ”

Si Yao sat on the brocade on the side, "I spent the morning in Yufu, I didn't even squint after lunch, and I went to my grandmother's place to sit for a while, and then I came over." ”

After speaking, he saw the glass cup held by Zhu Er, which was full of green and fruity juice, and said with a smile: "It's still the best place for sister-in-law, it's better to drink a glass of juice on such a hot day." (To be continued.) )
