Pei's eyes, which were already smiling, suddenly warmed up a little, and said softly: "Chen'er, my mother is a little lazy in the morning, it's no big deal, don't worry." ”

Xu Chen's beautiful eyes were really relieved, but they were shy like a child who was guessing what was going on, and blushed slightly and talked to her beside Pei Shi for a while, so that he could leave on time, so as not to delay the time of the old lady Xu Rong.

After Pei's eyes saw Xu Chen's figure out of sight, he turned his head and instructed Liu Yue: "Liu Yue, you go to the kitchen in a while, and the few supplementary meals made at lunch don't need to be sent to Yingqiang Courtyard, Chen'er went out with his father to visit, and he will send them over when he comes back in the evening." ”

"Yes."

Liu Yue responded happily and went to the big kitchen in person.

Liu Yin and Liu Wu glanced at each other, looking at Pei Shi, who was in a happy mood again, and the two of them also laughed.

"What's the matter with your second sister?"

Qilin Fang, Xufu.

The big house and the second room of the Xu family are the only heirs of the Xu family left in the imperial capital, and the two rooms are also the descendants of the Xu family, and the relationship has always been very good, but why the mansions of the two rooms were not built together, it is unknown to outsiders.

It is well known that the heirs of the Xu family in Jiangzuo are difficult, but the second room is a little better than the big house, and the old lady in the second room, Xu Luo, the servant of the door, and his wife Zheng have three sons, and the eldest son Xu Mao; Xu Ning, the second son; Young son Xu Heng.

And Xu Mingcheng is the daughter of the second master of the Xu family.

"You ask me, who am I going to ask?"

At this time, in Xu Mingcheng's Qingzhu Courtyard, Xu Yourong, who couldn't withstand Xu Mingming's entanglement, and finally followed her to Qilin Fang, looked at her speechlessly.

And what Xu Yourong said was also the truth, not to mention that Xu Mingcheng was curious about Xu Youshan, the second girl of the Xu family's big house, who suddenly appeared. Even Xu Yourong is a monk who is the second eldest monk, and she has never heard that her eldest uncle has a daughter who raises his body in Zhuangzi.

Besides...... "I don't know how she came out, but she's not very likable." Xu Yourong said angrily.

"Why?"

Xu Mingcheng became more and more curious.

"No, I just don't like her anyway."

Xu Yourong remembered what happened in Qinhuatang this morning, and was a little impatient: "Don't talk about her, otherwise I'll go back." ”

Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng have always been good, and Xu Mingcheng certainly knows her temperament.

As soon as his clear eyes rolled, Xu Mingcheng suddenly said, "Okay, don't talk about her." Tomorrow my grandmother is going to visit my uncle and grandmother, and it just happens that the school is closed, and I have to go with me, so I will tell you in advance now, you don't know where to go tomorrow. ”

Xu Yourong is lively by nature, has many friends, has a wide range of contacts, and her status is noble, and she belongs to the most popular type of person, so as long as there is Xiu Mu, she is usually invited to go out to play, and she can't be found at all.

"yes, I see."

Xu Yourong replied nonchalantly.

And early the next morning, there was a gray carriage at the back gate of Xu's Mansion in Dongyang Lane, and soon after driving to a Zhuangzi of Xu's house on the outskirts of Dijing, a black Gaihua car of Su Jiang Fengyue also drove out of the noble and magnificent gate of Xu's Mansion in Qilinfang, passing through the dense and huge acacia tree in front of the house, and walking slowly towards Dongyang Lane.

Xufu

Zheng Yan Pavilion

It was dark and dark, and there was not a single star in the sky tonight. Xu Youshan was already lying in front of the window, once again enjoying the most depressing scenery before dawn.

Pedal...

The sound of going upstairs, which seemed to be a little cautious, suddenly resounded in this too quiet moment.

Xu Youshan didn't turn her head.

"Second Miss, you're awake."

Chu Dai, who just went downstairs to tell the little maids on duty today that they had to start boiling water, was startled by the girl in the inner room who let her long hair blow up indiscriminately.

"Hmm."

Xu Youshan responded a little perfunctorily.

Chu Dai saw her like this, knowing that she was in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to speak anymore, and wanted to quit to guard, but Xu Youshan spoke again.

"Chu Dai, how old are you this year?"

Stunned, Chu Dai hurriedly replied: "Miss Hui, the slave maid is twelve years old this year. ”

Chu Dai is only twelve years old this year, only two years older than Xu Youshan, she is not worthy of such a big girl at her age, but ......

When Xu Youshan first returned home, she gave Pei Shi the impression that she was unconscious, and the strange atmosphere between her and the Wu couple made Pei frown again. So after she settled in the Zhengyan Pavilion, in addition to sending a group of servants to serve here, Pei's didn't want to interfere more with the candidates for the two first-class big girls around her, so she asked Xu Youshan to choose by herself.

Xu Youshan also had a plan in her heart, although she said a few words, she still vaguely expressed that she wanted a little girl who was about the same age as herself, and frequently glanced at the little maid who led the way for her that day.

Pei Shi didn't say much, and directly pointed out Chu Dai to her immediately.

"Twelve..."

Xu Youshan didn't know Chu Dai's specific age until now, and muttered, but Chu Dai didn't dare to quit anymore, so she stood quietly aside and accompanied Xu Youshan.

Time was quiet again.

Xu Youshan's eyes, which were slightly swollen due to lack of sleep, lit up little by little as she watched the morning light light light up.

"Chu Dai, go get ready, I'm going to freshen up."

"Yes, miss."

Chu Dai gently exited the inner room, went downstairs, and went outside to greet the maids and ladies to send water, champas, gargles, etc., and waited for Xu Youshan to freshen up and clean her face, and then served her to drink vegetarian porridge When Wu Lin came back.

Raising his hand, let all the maids and daughters in the room retreat, including Chu Dai and Xu Youshan quietly looked at Wu Lin who was kneeling on the ground in front of him.

Outside the window, in a tall and dense peach blossom tree, sunlight passed through and fell mottled on her.

Xu Youshan looked away. "Go outside and keep watch, and the eldest sister will come back to inform me after she goes to the early autumn hall."

"Yes."

Wu Lin shook, a little stunned after listening to Xu Youshan's words, but the old wound on his body that had been aching faintly suddenly stopped hurting, got up and bent over and retreated.

The beginning of autumn, the end of the year.

Pei Shi woke up in Liu Yue's light call, freshened up and changed clothes, and put on hairpins. In the end, he wore a peacock pattern satin jacket, a bamboo leaf green and gold silk trimmed Baxiang skirt, and a red gold dotted emerald Ruyi silk pinned to the waist.

On the head, at the insistence of Pei's family, only a not complicated cloud high mustache was coiled, and a set of silk inlaid with three-color gems was placed on the head.

On the ears, there is a pair of jade pendant earrings the size of rice grains.

On his hand, he only carried a red gold southern pearl jade bracelet and a ring of mutton fat jade jacquard.

After everything was prepared, finally, under the extremely satisfied eyes of the three of Liu Yue, Pei Shi was a little funny and was hugged by them to the outer room, and when he first used some pastries to pad his stomach, he said outside the door:

"Madam, the eldest lady and the second master are here."
