One morning and one noon, Xu Youshan nested in the warehouse of Bowei Houyun, choosing congratulatory gifts for Xu Mingwen, and after she finally stopped satisfied, she instructed the helpless Wu Lin and Liu's mother to pack all the congratulatory gifts they selected, and then sent them all to Qilinfang.

Qilin Fang, Xufu.

Lian and Yan looked at the car of congratulatory gifts just sent from the Beiding Wangfu and the Chu Wangfu, they were really a little speechless, and at this time in the Qiaosu Courtyard, Xu Mingwu, who was embroidering mandarin ducks and tiles, had also heard the news, and the embroidery needle in her hand was stunned, and she said with a smile: "Ink painting, I will repair two letters in a while, and you personally send them to the eldest sister and Sister Shan, if the two of them are allowed to make such a fuss, it is estimated that my mother and eldest aunt should come to me to 'talk'." ”

"Yes, miss." The ink painting also laughed after hearing the words, but who called the four girls in their family have a good relationship, when the eldest lady was the first to get married, the other three young ladies were still waiting for the boudoir, so it was not so exaggerated when adding makeup, but at that time, he also gave his favorite jewelry and brocade, almost all of which were given to the eldest lady as a wedding gift.

And when Miss Shan'er got married, the congratulatory gift sent by the eldest lady at that time was many times more than that sent by Miss Rong and her young lady, which also caused the two at that time to laugh and ridicule the eldest lady, saying that she was not responding to people, this was to show off her private property and be scary, but if she gave it like this, then when the remaining three people all got married, shouldn't she be bankrupt?

When the eldest lady heard this, she smiled indifferently and said that if I used up my private property for you. I don't feel distressed, but when the second lady finally gets married, not only the eldest lady is like this, but it seems that a treasure will fall from the sky. Don't add makeup to the second miss with money, even Miss Shan's second miss is like this, this can't help but make people sigh, these four girls of the Xu family, the relationship is really not ordinary!

The ink painting sighed, and he was ready to help Xu Mingwen sharpen the ink and prepare the ink treasure. But at this moment, the little maids' voices sounded outside the door: "Third lady." "Yan is here?

Xu Mingwen hurriedly got up and walked to the door to greet Yan. But after Yan saw her, he immediately said with some tears and laughter: "Ming'er, you quickly send someone to talk to Sister Xian'er and Sister Shan'er." They can't give any more gifts. Even your grandmother spoke, isn't that nonsense? It seems that Xu Mingcheng and Xu Youshan sent too many congratulatory gifts, so many that even Mrs. Zheng spoke.

Xu Mingwen replied with a smile: "Mother, don't you say that I am also about to repair a book for the eldest sister and Sister Shan, and if they give gifts like this, it is estimated that not only will my grandmother be angry, but even Sister Rong will be mad." ”

"Sister Rong? How to say. Yan took Xu Ming's hand and walked to the big kang in the second room and sat down. Asked with some confusion.

"Mother, you want to. Originally, among the four of us, Sister Rong and I were not married, but now even I am going to leave the cabinet, so isn't Sister Rong the only one left to stay in the boudoir? Compared to the eldest sister and Sister Shan, who have already married, Sister Rong has no dowry that can be her own decision, so seeing the eldest sister and Sister Shan add makeup to me like this, isn't this stimulating Sister Rong. ”

Xu Mingwen couldn't hold back a smile and said, and Yan also shook his head and said with a smile after hearing it: "The four of you, it's true, but this is also rare, the relationship between brothers and sisters in a big family, there are few things like the four of you, not to mention the big room and the second room, it's really rare." ”

Yes, Xu Mingwen also sighed, Sister Rong didn't say it first, in fact, at the beginning, who of them would have thought that they could be so intimate with Sister Shan? At the beginning, the skinny, weak, black and small little black charcoal-like little girl, when she first saw it, she really couldn't like it, and even hated it, how could she like such a submissive person?

But it was such a person who didn't like it at the time, but he suddenly came out and was told that he was the daughter of the Jiangzuo Xu family like them, how did the three of them digest it? So at the beginning, they really stumbled Sister Shan'er openly and secretly.

But what I didn't expect in the end was that it was such a submissive and annoying little girl, in the Cangrong Pavilion that year, but she would stand up so bravely, and stand in front of Xu Yourong and Xu Mingcheng with her, such a little black charcoal no matter how they looked at it and didn't like it, the little black charcoal they had bullied a lot openly and secretly, but at that dangerous moment that day, they actually stood up like that, which shocked the three of them.

And it was also from that time that the three of them began to get closer to Sister Shan little by little, slowly and unconsciously approaching Sister Shan'er, integrating her into their own lives, no matter where they go, they must take her with them, no matter what is delicious and fun, they must leave a copy for her. And she, unconsciously, has really become the eldest of the four, the most beloved younger sister.

Xu Mingwen remembered those things a few years ago in a trance, although in fact, this is not a long time, but for some reason, when she thinks about it at this time, she really sighs that she has been in a trance.

Outside, the sun is just right, it is rare to have sunny weather in winter, although the temperature of the sun is not very warm, but it falls in Xu Ming's eyes, but it still feels warm to the body and mind, so that there is a slow warmth in the bottom of the heart, slowly flowing through.

……

……

In the winter solstice, it was originally customary to eat dumplings, but Xu Youshan wanted to eat Jinman carp today, so under Wu Lin's good words, Xu Youshan agreed, so it would be the same half. And this afternoon in the clouds after Bowei, it is also very lively, the servants are all colorful, and the lanterns of different shapes are hung up, and the corners of the corridor under the eaves are all happy.

Xu Youshan stood under the corridor, looking at the clouds behind Bo Wei as the sky darkened, but it lit up with a lot of colors, and her mood was also very good, not to mention that with the marriage of Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen as her companion, Xu Youshan's mood was simply not good.

And Xu Youshan's smiling eyes all the time also made Wu Lin and Liu's mother, who have always been worried today. A little bit of heart, but even if Xu Youshan's smile has never left that childish little face, Wu Lin and Liu's mother have always had a heart. After all, they have been following Xu Youshan for a long time, especially Wu Lin's family, and they are not like Chu Dai and Yue Dai, who have not had much experience in the world.

Wu Lin and Liu's mother have already read many winds and waves, so compared to Chu Dai and Yue Dai, they will not think that Xu Youshan is smiling like this, it is no problem. On the contrary, all day today, Wu Lin and Liu's mother were highly focused on Xu Youshan. I'm afraid of a little negligence.

"Oh, Yuedai is moving so slowly today, Mother Wu, go take a look." Xu Youshan can smell the abnormal fragrance from a distance now, but she hasn't seen Chu Dai bring the dishes for a long time. And she was already croaking with hunger. Therefore, when Wu Lin and Liu's mother were secretly paying close attention to Xu Youshan, Xu Youshan suddenly said to Wu Lin.

"Yes, Princess." Wu Lin paused for a moment, and then complied, but before she left, she glanced at Liu's mother in tacit understanding.

And after Wu Lin left, Xu Youshan still smiled and looked at the maids and mothers-in-law in the yard. Hang up those lanterns one by one, and laugh twice on the way. The atmosphere in the whole Bowei Houyun is really good, and it has not been affected by the recent rumors in the mansion.

But the most important thing, of course, is Xu Youshan's attitude, Xu Youshan is immovable in these rumors, anyway, the person who chews the root of the tongue can only be silent in front of her, so Xu Youshan really doesn't care, as usual is to eat and drink Lazar in the clouds after Bowei, bask in the sun in the courtyard when the weather is good, and shrink back to read a book in the house in April when the weather is bad, if the snow falls, then Xu Youshan will sometimes go to the window to enjoy the snow.

Because of Xu Youshan's usual attitude, there is no abnormality in the entire Bowei Houyun, although Xie Jing has recently started to go to Ramie Zhai and Luohuaxuan again, breaking the situation that some time ago only spent the night in Bowei Houyun, in the eyes of others, it is the situation of favoring Xu Youshan, so there are rumors in the house that Xu Youshan has fallen out of favor and offended Xie Jing.

But this is actually nothing, because Xie Jing didn't favor Xu Youshan at the beginning, at best, it was an exchange of interests between them, a fake marriage that risked the world's disapproval, some time ago Xie Jing only spent the night in Bowei Houyun, just because when he returned to Beijing from Fanyang, the wound he was attacked did not heal, in order not to recruit truth, he would only spend the night in Powei Houyun, after all, Zhou Huidi, who knew that Xie Jing was attacked, pretended to be confused, so Xie Jing himself pretended not to have this matter, So of course, it's not good for others to know about Xie Jing's injury.

And this other person includes Wang Nishang, Leng Xinyun, and Zhao Mama, but Xu Youshan is not included in this other person, and Xu Youshan really doesn't know whether to thank Xie Jing for his trust. But for all this, Xu Youshan didn't know why, but if he didn't say it, then she didn't ask, just tried her best to cooperate.

And now that Xie Jing's injury is healed, he doesn't have to continue to spend the night in Powei Houyun, shouldn't it be taken for granted? So how could there be anything out of favor, Xie Jing never spoiled Xu Youshan at all, where did this "loss" come from?

Xu Youshan smiled, a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips, and Mother Liu looked at Xu Youshan like this, but she only sighed long in her heart, but she still stood silently behind Xu Youshan, silent.

"Alright, alright, princess, the dumplings are ready." And just when Mother Liu was sighing in her heart, Chu Dai's carefree voice came from afar, making the corners of Xu Youshan's mouth deeper, and when she lifted the corner of her skirt, she hurriedly ran over, making Mother Liu cry and laugh and hurriedly stop Xu Youshan in the back.

"Princess, Chu Dai will bring it over, so you don't have to go over." A dignified princess of Chu, who was lured by a few plates of dumplings, did not hesitate to greet her in person, if this was known to others, I don't know how many versions of the rumors would be made up and spread everywhere, Mother Liu is really helpless and funny sometimes for this young lady in her own house, and she doesn't know how to prevent her unexpected and amazing moves.

"Ouch, Mother Liu, it's okay, isn't this in the clouds behind Bowei." Xu Youshan said unhappily.

"Okay, okay, princess, look, Chu Dai is here, hurry up, go back to the house and sit down." It's served. Mother Liu shook her head with a smile, and helped Xu Youshan into the house.

At this time, under the leadership of Chu Dai, there were also several little maids carrying food boxes. Walking over quickly, it seems that Wu Lin went to the small kitchen and said that Xu Youshan was already hungry, so Chu Dai and the others came quickly and did not dare to delay. And with the opening of the food box, the plate of dumplings with crystal crust really made Xu Youshan, who didn't want to eat dumplings very much, move her index finger at this time. But it seems that there is still a lack of it.

Xu Youshan took the elephant chopsticks handed by Chu Dai and asked her, "Hey, Chu Dai." What about the golden carp? Haven't you done it yet? ”

Chu Dai brought out all the dumplings, and then put a few dishes on the table and replied: "Yes, Yue Dai said, Jin Manyu has to be slowly stewed over low heat in the end to taste." Let you eat the dumplings first. But ......" Chu Dai paused here before continuing: "But Princess, you really don't wait for the prince to come back, when you sent someone to ask before, didn't the prince say that he might not be able to come back for dinner." ”

Today is the winter solstice solar term, no matter whether it is according to the situation or the reason, Xie Jing should have come to Bo Wei Houyun and dine with Xu Youshan. But at noon, Xu Youshan sent someone to inquire about the empty mountain residence as usual. When Xie Jing didn't leave the house, Xie Jing replied that he had something to go out today, and he didn't know if he could come back for dinner, so Chu Dai asked so.

But just after Chu Dai finished asking, Mother Liu, who was behind Xu Youshan, immediately raised her eyes and glared at Chu Dai, which made Chu Dai startled, and when she was about to secretly wonder if she had said something wrong, Xu Youshan was busy eating dumplings, but her slurred voice had already sounded: "No, no, when I sent someone to ask the prince yesterday, didn't the prince also say that he was not sure, but then he ran to Luohuaxuan, which made me hungry for a long time, so I don't have to wait today, if the prince really comes back after a while, isn't there still Ramie Zhai and Luohuaxuan." ”

Xu Youshan said carelessly, Chu Dai nodded in understanding after hearing it, but Mother Liu frowned slightly, but then Mother Liu immediately pulled Xu Youshan in shock, and then saluted in the direction of the gate: "See the prince." ”

Xu Youshan was stunned, a dumpling was still in her mouth and she didn't swallow it, but with that cold voice: "Get up." After the sound, Xu Youshan also hurriedly got up, saluted Xie Jingfu, squeezed out a big smile and said: "Lord Wang, you are back, I thought Lord Wang, you were busy today, so I didn't dare to disturb you." ”

"Yes, but why don't I think so?" Xie Jing stepped into the house, the agarwood behind him stretched out his hand, and immediately took off the lilac lotus blue and white mink cloak on Xie Jing's body gently, and handed it to the little maid waiting next to him, while Xie Jing slowly and slowly approached Xu Youshan, stopped in front of her slightly lowered little head, and after lightly glancing at the dumplings and side dishes on the table that had been devoured by her, she smiled slightly indifferently: "I see that the princess is very happy to eat." ”

"Ugh." Xu Youshan choked for a moment, but immediately smiled and said: "No, no, I've been waiting for you, but I saw that the hour was not early, so I guessed that you must be entangled in business, so I didn't dare to disturb you." ”

Xu Youshan's words were extremely sincere, but Xie Jing still said lukewarmly "oh", and then stopped talking, which made Xu Youshan really speechless, you said that I waited for you for so long last night, and finally you sent someone to say that you went to Luohuaxuan, okay, I won't wait for you today, you are unhappy again, why are you so difficult to get along with? Xu Youshan rolled her eyes in her heart.

And Xie Jing didn't pay attention to Xu Youshan anymore, just sat in the middle position that Xu Youshan had just now, and then glanced at Xu Youshan, Xu Youshan hurriedly sat down on a chair next to her, one position apart, and then glanced at Mother Liu and Chu Dai, and asked them to quickly take down the dumplings and side dishes on the table that she had gobbled up before, and serve them again.

Mother Liu and Chu Dai understood, so under Xie Jing's slightly lowered long eyelashes, after a lot of chaos in the room, a table full of dishes was finally laid out again, and the one in the middle was the plate of golden carp that Xu Youshan wanted to eat the most, so Xu Youshan sighed in her heart at the plate of golden carp.

But sighing and sighing, when Xie Jing began to move the chopsticks, Xu Youshan also moved the chopsticks, but when Xie Jing and Agarwood were present, Xu Youshan was of course extremely gentle with the chopsticks, and because of the rule of eating and sleeping, it was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling on the ground. At this time, Xu Youshan had only one thought in her heart, she must ask Yuedai to make her a supper at night.

"Agarwood, you all go out." And just when Xu Youshan was concentrating on what to eat for supper, Xie Jing suddenly made a sound, startling her, and also startling Liu's mother and Agarwood, why did Xie Jing suddenly go out with them? This really puzzled Mother Liu and Agarwood, especially Agarwood, but in Xie Jing's eyes, everyone immediately bowed and retreated, and they didn't dare to delay for a moment, including Agarwood.

So in an instant, only Xie Jing and Xu Youshan were left in the huge room, and Xu Youshan suddenly felt that this house was so empty and scary? Bowing her head, Xu Youshan hurriedly pretended to eat vegetables, she didn't dare to look at Xie Jing at all, and hoped that he would still eat quietly, and after eating, it was best to go to Ramie Zhai, or Luohuaxuan or something, anyway, it was best to leave.

But just when Xu Youshan was praying silently, the thing that did not fulfill people's wishes still happened, and with a loud voice, Xie Jing put down the elephant chopstick, and his cold voice sounded faintly: "You have been very strange recently." ”

This is not a question sentence, it is an affirmative sentence, Xu Youshan's hand shaking the bowl, and then replied with a grinning voice: "Where is this prince, how can I be very strange, isn't it just the same as before, but recently because my eldest sister was sick, and the marriage suddenly set by my sister-in-law, I have indeed been a little busy during this time, maybe it is because of this, so the prince said this......"

Xu Youshan's words at the beginning were full of anger, but at the end, they gradually lowered, because Xie Jing looked at her, those beautiful and narrow eyes were so sharp after not smiling, as if they could pierce people's hearts and see the most real mood inside, which made Xu Youshan very disliked, very disliked, so in the end, Xu Youshan suddenly didn't want to say it.

"What, don't talk about it?" Seeing that Xu Youshan was silent, Xie Jing asked indifferently.

"Well, I don't want to say it." Xu Youshan replied weakly.

And Xie Jing looked at Xu Youshan, but Xu Youshan turned her head and looked at the flower window that had never been hidden, the heavy snow that suddenly came quietly was flying one after another, and there were one or two snowflakes that flew in along the flower window, and flew towards her gently, but before she could fly to her side, she finally fell to the ground weakly, and within an instant, it was melted into the city by the floor of the burning dragon.

The room was so quiet that Xie Jing stopped talking, and Xu Youshan naturally didn't say anything, so in the huge room, Xu Youshan could only hear her own breathing a little, and the whistling wind and snow outside the house, but when Xu Youshan was in a daze, there was a sound of porcelain touching next to her, Xu Youshan was slightly stunned, and then turned her head to see Xie Jing actually started to eat again, and no longer paid attention to her.

So Xu Youshan suddenly felt that this scene was a little funny, so she also followed Xie Jing to re-lift the dishes and chopsticks and start eating, and this meal, they ate very silently, although they used to eat together in the past, they have never been silent between them, after all, the rule of eating without saying a word, except for Zhou Huidi, when he broke it, it was called domineering, and when the rest of the people broke it, it was called rudeness, so even in the days when Xie Jing was injured and only stayed in the clouds after Bowei, when they ate together, it was so quiet.

Meal, eating not fast or slow, after Xu Youshan accompanied Xie Jing for a while, Xie Jing was ready to leave, Xu Youshan also immediately got up to send off, the current situation Xu Youshan is eager for Xie Jing to leave quickly, but Xu Youshan got up too quickly, actually stepped on the corner of her skirt, her feet slipped, and she was about to make a close contact with the earth, Xu Youshan herself was ready to fall hard, but the pain in the premonition did not come, and what came was actually a touch that made her a little familiar - Xie Jing's arms? (To be continued.) )
