Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Summer Solstice
A large basket of lychees was swallowed without a moment.
And "full of wine and food", after being satisfied, Xu Yourong wiped his hands and asked Wan'er: "The person who came to deliver lychees, did you say where they were sent to Beijing?" ”
The quality is very good!
"Miss Hui's words, no." Wan'er said, "Why don't you go and ask now?" ”
"No, it's not a big deal."
After Xu Yourong finished speaking, Wan'er and the little maids packed up and cleaned up their things, and then bowed and retreated. As soon as they retreated, Xu Yourong turned his head and said to Xu Youshan and the others: "Let's go to the Autumn Pavilion to say goodbye to my mother." ”
“……”
“……”
"Co-author, you're going to ask yourself!!"

Xu Mansion, Early Autumn Hall.
"Did you send it?"
The sun on the summer solstice is irritating, and although there are several large pots of ice in the house, some people still find it useless.
"I sent it, but Madam, would you like to drink some more water, or eat some more food to cool off?" Liu Yue looked at Pei's wilting appearance and said distressedly.
"No, I'm fine, I'll be fine in a few days." The hottest time of the year is the hardest time for her, not tolerant of heat, not tolerant of heat.
In the courtyard of the early autumn pavilion, the spring flowers are withering and the summer flowers are blooming, and this kind of beautiful time when the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming is a little blurry in Pei's eyes - sweaty
"Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss, Miss."
But the sudden sound of saying goodbye outside the house made Pei Shi suddenly smile, and the droplets of the red gold butterfly on his forehead suddenly lit up.
"Mother." Where there is Xu Yourong, when they entered the early autumn pavilion, Xu Youshan and the three of them all turned into little tails and followed her without waiting for a report, and went directly into the house.
"Auntie." After entering the house, the remaining three people also saluted Pei's.
"Come and sit down, why are you here again on this hot day?" It hasn't been long since they came to the Autumn Pavilion to greet Pei's family.
Obviously, they also knew that it wouldn't be long before they came again, so Xu Youshan and the three of them all looked at someone very tacitly, and someone replied very calmly and generously: "Mother, didn't you send someone to send a basket of lychees just now, and we said that we would come over to thank you." ”
Belch......... Xu Youshan and the three tried their best to resist the urge to roll their eyes.
But Pei Shi directly didn't give Xu Yourong a smile and said, "Come less, you're here to ask about lychees." ”
"Mother, how can you say that...... Then this lychee was sent by which of our Zhuangzi. "Gotta get them to send it again.
"Look at your gluttony," Pei smiled and poked Xu Yourong's forehead, "It's not from our Zhuangzi, it's from your uncle and grandmother." ”
"Auntie?" Xu Yourong's eyes lit up and said, "Mother, I remember that you didn't ask Sister Liu Ru to send the two cigarette yarn Mulan brocades that were just sent in to the palace last night, so why don't the four of us send them in person." "By the way" to inquire about the orchard.
But after Xu Yourong finished speaking, Pei's didn't say anything, Xu Youshan and the three of them grinned, when did they say they were going? - On this hot day, they are tired of moving more.
"We don't ...... Hmm...... "But Xu Mingcheng just wanted to express his wishes appropriately, but he was attacked by Xu Yourong in the next second, and quickly said to Pei's family: "Mother, okay." ”
"Okay, okay, let you go, let you go, let go of Sister Huan'er." Pei Shi patted Xu Yourong's hand that was holding Xu Mingxi.
"Mother, you're the best, then we'll go."
After a gust of wind, there was no one to be seen, and of course the remaining three people were also swept away.
"This wild girl." Pei Shi looked at the bead curtain that was still shaking with a smile, and suddenly felt an appetite, "Liu Yue, go and ask the kitchen to boil a pot of bayberry soup and chill it, and wait for these girls to come back, so that they can quench their thirst." ”
"Yes, ma'am." Liu Yue and Liu Ru looked at each other and smiled.

The corner gate of Xufu opened at the end of noon, and a carriage with a pearl and a phoenix drove to the Beiding Wangfu surrounded by guards.
And when this carriage drove to the Beiding Palace, there was a sisterly "friendly" exchange in the carriage, "Xu Yourong, you are too much, how can you make your own decisions?" Xu Mingcheng said angrily, but the image of her being softened by the heat and falling on the soft couch in the car reduced her anger a little.
"I'm doing this for your own good, otherwise if this Zhuangzi can really get it from my uncle and grandmother in a while, I won't give you anything inside." As long as Xu Yourong thought of the sweetness of the lychee just now, he was about to drool again.
"Eldest sister, you really like lychees." Xu Youshan estimated that in addition to Nie Suhyun, this lychee should be Xu Yourong's favorite thing.
"That's, you don't know what Sister Rong did for Lychee, ...... at the beginning?"
The road to Beiding Wangfu is not close, and this road is not enough Xu Mingwen finished talking to Xu Youshan, Xu Yourong did those "earth-shattering" big things for lychee, because Xu Mingwen's words have not been finished, Beiding Wangfu has arrived.
"Get out of the car." Xu Yourong was the first to get out of the carriage energetically.
And the remaining three, one by one, was weak, and in the end, Xu Mingcheng almost half-relied on the servant. After the four of them got off the carriage, they changed into a soft sedan chair and walked towards the main house of the palace to meet the Rui family.
Rui's had already received a post from Pei's in advance yesterday, saying that he would let people send things to the palace today, so Rui's ordered them to go down early in the morning and let people receive the people sent by Pei's to send things, but how did they know that it would be the four girls of the Xu family who came to send things.
"Auntie and uncle aren't there?"
"Back to your words, yes, the princess went to Nanhua Temple early this morning to worship the Buddha."
"Well, did your grandmother say when she would be back?"
"I didn't say it, but in the past, it was later."
Xu Yourong was unhappy now, but there was no way to do it, "That's really not a coincidence, Mother Shi, these are two cigarette yarn Mulan brocade, my mother asked me to send them to my ancestor and my uncle and grandmother, now I can only trouble Mother Shi, you take it first, and when your uncle and grandmother come back later, Mother Shi, you will hand it over to your uncle and grandmother." ”
"The old slave knows." Mother Shi replied respectfully.
Since Rui is not here, Xu Yourong's "big plan" will naturally be in vain, but if they are discouraged, the four of them still have to hurry to the west bank of Shiji to greet the old princess.
