On the nineteenth day of the lunar month, it was rare to let go of the sun in the morning, and as soon as the hour passed, there was a half-round tomorrow on the edge of the sky that showed its head shyly, and it fell with a sprinkle of snow, from goose feathers and heavy snow to fine snowflakes like plum petals.

Mother Wang came out of the warm pavilion, looked at the sky and was very happy, and even said: "Good omen, good omen, the sun has not come out for a few days, today is really rare." ”

Xingzhao took the hand of lotus Rong, crossed the threshold, held the doorrail, and looked back and swept them one by one, several large black lacquer cages neatly placed in the warm pavilion, the pomegranate red ruyi knot hanging in front of the bed tent that had not had time to be collected, the lush holly tree growing in the corner of the wall, and the playthings of the hours in the compartment, and a few wooden dolls of the Tang Dynasty with vivid expressions.

Xingzhao looked up at Lianyu and laughed, from waking up to now, things have finally changed qualitatively, and the trajectory is slowly changing.

As soon as Lianyu lowered her chin, she saw that the little lady's black eyes were full of joy and expectation, just like the jasper beads washed by the rain wiper in the midsummer day, and the corners of her mouth were bent from the heart.

Lian Rong stood between the two of them on one side, squatted down and said with a smile: "Let's go quickly, it's not good to delay the auspicious time." ”

Shuntian Zhenren counted the time to hang nanmu and set off firecrackers, and after letting go of firecrackers, each family and room came to greet the host's house.

Xingzhao smiled, walked through the verandah, and saw that Mrs. Tai was wearing a dark crimson seven-treasure pattern Hangzhou silk gown, with dark green rabbit down on her forehead, and was being helped by Zhang's mother to walk out happily, Mrs. Tai said that she was going to hang up Nanmu Town House for Xingzhao in person.

Xingzhao hurriedly stepped forward to help, and Mrs. Tai made a sedan chair and went to Xiaoyuan one after the other, followed by a line of servants who carried boxes and cages, or carried burdens, and four little girls in their early teens, all wearing autumn-colored jackets, followed with their heads down. These are the four new second-class maids, Xingzhao's eyes fell on one of the little ladies with big eyes and a straight nose - her brother was a little maid by He Yan's side, although he was not an important position, but he did not leave He Yan every day.

Mrs. Tai can control the stewardship around He Yan, she doesn't have this ability, so she can only start from people who don't bother her.

There are about 80 acres of land in Lin'an Hou Mansion, Mrs. Tai likes to be clean, Rongshou Hall and Ancestral Hall are in the northernmost end, the main courtyard is in the middle of the whole house, and there are east and west courtyards. The second room lives in the east cross courtyard, and now no one lives in the west cross courtyard.

After nine miles of Changting and Bibo Lake, you will arrive at the main courtyard.

Xingzhao's small garden is called Huaishan Garden, in the northeast corner of the main courtyard, it was originally He Yan's sister, Mrs. He's eldest daughter He Liu's residence, a total of five upper rooms, three side rooms, and a small garden with a delicate and chic fence.

At that time, the eldest lady was already waiting at the door, Xingzhao went down first, and saw his mother wearing a bright peach swastika with a smile to carry the lady, so he obediently followed behind, listening to the words in front of him as he walked.

“… I have prepared five large strings of firecrackers, and I don't know if there are enough to put them... At noon, the kitchen specially renovated a table of seats, and invited all the children in the house, the children are getting older, and it is a time to get together... Let's eat in the main courtyard, and prepare your favorite stewed eight treasures"

Mrs. Tai listened to it again and again, and she didn't want to find fault with her daughter-in-law at this time, since she learned about He Yan and Yingyi, she was much more tolerant of her eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing that this Huaishan Garden was brand new, and the leaves were not stained with last night's snow grains, my heart evoked the thoughts of my daughter who was married far away, and said: "Okay, let's go hang Nanmu and light firecrackers!" ”

It was Mrs. Tai who pinched the line and lit the fire, the tongue of fire wrapped around the twine, and the firecrackers exploded with a "crackle", and the eldest lady leaned over and said happily with Xingzhao: "Your father promised to go down to the palace earlier, just to come to sit in the house for you." ”

Sitting in the house is also the custom of the Great Zhou, and letting the male elders take a town in the junior room, which is the same as hanging Nanmu and lighting firecrackers.

When Xingzhao heard this, his smile stiffened, but he quickly reacted, laughed loudly, and promised repeatedly: "Okay!" After lunch, I'll go and prepare the dragon well for my father! ”

The news of the house extending in all directions spread very quickly, and after the firecrackers were lit, the second lady came over with Xingming, and after Xingzhao saluted, a bag was stuffed in her arms, and the second lady Liu Ye bent her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Congratulations on the joy of moving!" Our four girls have grown up and are also divided, so take Xingming around and do a good job of the friendship of the landlord! ”

After Xingzhao covered his mouth and thanked him, the second lady pestered the eldest lady and the eldest lady to go to the main courtyard to roast the fire, so that the juniors could be their own. Xingzhao took Xingming into the main room, which was dyed with light and elegant jasmine, and on several tables there were jasper red agate droplets in the original lady's room, the blue bricks were shining, and the red snail carbon was stacked in the dragon, a warm one.

Xingming hasn't seen him for a few days, his face has lost a lot of weight, although he is smiling, he can find that he is smiling very reluctantly, Xingzhao was surprised, isn't it because of the Huang family, he sat down with her and said: "How can a wipe of the forehead be tired like this?" I can't do it in the past few days, so can't my grandmother wipe her forehead belt yet? ”

Xingming lowered his head, but when he looked up again, his eyes were full of tears, and he shook his head and said: "I know that today is your good day, I shouldn't have said this, but I thought about it and thought, I really don't know who to talk to"

Xingzhao sat closer, looked at the room and saw that it was either her henchman or Xingming's closet, then shook her hand and said, "Or is it because of the Huang family?" ”

This time it was Xingming's turn to be shocked: "How do you know!?" ”

Xingzhao was stunned, it stands to reason that she really shouldn't know. Everything has gone smoothly in the past few days, but her vigilance has weakened, she regrets it in her heart, smacks her lips, and perfunctory: "At the church meeting, Huang Sanniang quarreled with us, and the second aunt taught you a lesson." ”

When Xingming heard this, he hung his head a little lonely and said, "It's not this thing."

Before the words were finished, someone came into the house with a curtain, and it was the two brothers Xingjing and Xingshi.

"Ahh Xingjing is anxious and has the heart of a young man, a few big strides in, threw the burden to Lianrong, and said in a hoarse voice with an expectant face: "I found a tube of Bai Yuxiao for you!" Let's see if you like it or not! ”

He was only five years old when he was walking, and his eldest brother who was leading him in front of him walked fast, but he couldn't keep up, so he stopped weakly first, said goodbye to his sisters and brothers, and said, "My aunt embroidered a handkerchief for my fourth sister."

Xingzhao took it, patted Xing with a smile, and looked at the handkerchief, which was embroidered with a passion flower pattern, with bright colors and fine workmanship, and said, "It's so beautiful!" Brother Shi, remember to thank my aunt for me! He turned his head again, got up with a smile and greeted Xingjing: "I like it!" The things that my brother sent, I like them all! ”

"You know how to perfunctory me. Even Brother Shi'er's handkerchief has been read, but my Bai Yuxiao has not looked at it, it can be seen that you are a person who likes the new and hates the old," Xingjing said with some grievances.

Everyone laughed when they heard it, Xingzhao's heart was like breaking the ice, and he lived another life, seeing that it was Xingjing's straightforward temperament, Xingming's bright and cheerful, and his courtesy and gentleness.

Why, in the heart of the arrogant and conceited self in the previous life, Xingjing was impulsive and stupid, Xingming was mean and stupid, and when he acted, he was cowering and weak?

Perhaps sometimes only by changing oneself can one change the world.

While talking in the wing, a maid wearing ten kinds of brocade jacket and cotton jacket came in with a curtain and saluted, and said, "The sixth girl was caught in the cold the day before yesterday, so it is inconvenient to come. Slaves and maidservants were sent to deliver congratulatory gifts. Bian took out a purse from his sleeve and took it up.

Xingzhao smiled and asked Lianyu to accept it, and took care of her a few more words, so that Xingxiao could rest by herself.

He Xingxiao's absence did not bring regret and regret, the four children sat together, had lunch lively, and reluctantly said goodbye when Xingjing and Xingshi, and the two Xiaolangjun still had school to go to school in the afternoon. The second lady also sent someone to pick up Xingming, but the two sisters didn't have time to say what they wanted to say, and the comfort that Xingzhao held back in his heart could only turn into a warm handshake, into a warm word, and said in Xingming's ear: "Don't worry, everything must be considered in the long run." ”

Xingming looked at each other in amazement, his eyes widened, and he wanted to say something but was urged by Liu's mother to leave, but he looked back three times in one step.

Mrs. Tai looked at Xingzhao after lunch, and saw that there was nothing lacking in the room, so she instructed endlessly, "Don't take care of Wan's family, someone will clean her up." "If you don't have anything to say, if your mother doesn't want something, come to your grandmother." "After a while, your father will come to sit in the house for you, and you have to calm down, don't talk about it. ", "If the girl is disobedient, she will send it out, don't be wronged. ”

Xingzhao only nestled in the cushioned dough and nodded, a little wanted to cry, but he also knew that he couldn't arouse Mrs. Tai's deeper thoughts: "I know, I know." Don't nag about it. I'm going to say hello to you every day. My father is also my father no matter what, and Xingzhao understands it in his heart. ”

Mrs. Tai nodded reluctantly, and her temperament was fierce and arrogant. But now I have become more and more calm and understand that children have grown up in all kinds of hardships. She hesitated, is it really good to let the little lady face her affectionate father and weak mother alone?

Mrs. Tai frowned and raised her head, but saw the scenery and calm atmosphere between Xingzhao's eyebrows, and put her heart down again. This whole thing is like a whetstone, facing suffering and turmoil head-on, stronger than anything else. Left and right, she has to stop her, what waves can Ying Yi make. After thinking about it, he took the people and left.

At the end of the song, people dispersed, and the peace and tranquility were finally restored in Huaishan Garden, and in the winter in the afternoon, there was a wind to come.

Xingzhao sat cross-legged on the kang, lit another stick of jasmine, and painted red according to Yan Zhenqing's post, while waiting for He Yan to come and sit in the house. I waited for the afternoon nap, and I didn't wait for He Yan to come, but I waited for the white steward, who was the first person next to He Yan, and I only heard him bow down and apologize: "Master Hou really can't go back to the house early today, and he can't push it off if he waits for a banquet in the letter at night." The little one is here to congratulate the four girls on the joy of Qiao Ju! You love jade. Hou Ye specially instructed Lao Wang Ji to send you a white jade inlaid with night pearl flower wall palace lamp, do you like it? ”

Xingzhao sneered in his heart, knowing that He Yan's love was the moon in the water and the flower in the mirror, and he still had expectations.

His face was not obvious, he turned his face up, and said in a childish voice: "It's not in the way, grandmother has already lit firecrackers, and the evil is suppressed!" Remember to tell Daddy not to drink too much. ”

The white steward bowed and saluted again, and then wiped his forehead and went out, but he thought that sitting in the house was what his father should do, and the Hou Ye obviously agreed, but he pushed it for the sake of the appointment, and he didn't know whose appointment he went. But he knew that it was definitely not a banquet in the letter, and the concubine died in the letter, how could he have this thought!

After the white steward left, Lianyu came in with a cup of hawthorn water, and she also knew that He Yan would not come today, so she took out the purse she had just received, and deliberately made Xingzhao happy: "This is the first time that the six girls have given gifts to the girls, girl, take a look, what's inside?" ”

Xingzhao took the purse and opened it, but his face froze.

Inside is the church meeting, Ying Yi gave Xingxiao and Xingzhao one each, the red gold inlaid bluestone bracelet.
