Xianglan returned to Luo Xuewu, stood at the gate and poked her head in, and saw that the hall was quiet, and a low voice came from the bedroom. Mrs. Liu stood under a bush of plantains and beckoned to her. Xianglan ran over, and Mrs. Liu said to the house: "I was still beating the dog just now, and then the Qi girl in the big house sent a little girl to send a post, it seems that Ming'er and a Qi girl are going to have a tea party, and invite Luo Xuewu, the dominatrix, to go." As soon as the little girl was gone, the dominatrix stopped, opened the suitcase again, and began to pick out the clothes. ”

Xianglan nodded. Cao Lihuan loves to be in the limelight, and she will not let go of such an opportunity to climb with Miss Lin Fu. At this time, Hui'er called Xianglan's name in the window and asked her to go over and change the clothes that Cao Lihuan would wear tomorrow. Xianglan cleaned up her mood and went back to modify Cao Lihuan's clothes, not mentioning it for the time being.

Let's say that on the second day, Cao Lihuan got up early in the morning and thought about dressing up, and puffed up Xing'er to take the lead among the sisters, and when she had breakfast, she cleaned up inside and out. Xianglan was secretly happy in her heart, on such an occasion, Cao Lihuan would inevitably take Hui'er there, and when their master and servant left, Huairui couldn't stay in the room, so she designated to sneak out to play with her good sisters. A few days ago, she asked Mrs. Liu to buy paper, brushes, ink rouge and other things, and when she was the only one left in Luo Xuewu, she could take them out to paint.

Sure enough, Cao Lihuan was newly decorated, holding the small fan and Hui'er and shaking them away. After a while, Huairui also ran away and saw no one, Xianglan spread out the pen and paper, calmed down, closed her eyes and meditated for a long time, only then did she draw a peach blossom, just about to paint the birds and butterflies next to the peach blossoms, a little girl who had not left her head came in and said: "Miss Huan asked my sister to take the box of yarn flowers in the drawer of her dressing table." ”

Xianglan listened to the pen and ink on the table in a hurry, went to the dressing table and opened the drawer, saw a black lacquered wooden box painted with gold and phoenix, opened it, and sure enough, there were five flowers inside, although it was the color of the folk workshop, but the workmanship was exquisite, and the silk yarn was the best material.

Because Luo Xuewu was out of time for a while, Xianglan called Mrs. Liu from the teahouse to watch the door, carrying the box of flowers, and followed the little girl. Lin Dongqi lives in Huifengzhai, this area is planted with peaches, apricots, pomegranates, pears, cinnamon and other colorful trees, there are scenery to enjoy all year round, there is a pond not far ahead, the craggy rockery standing by the pond is connected with the rocks on the shore, the scenery is very different.

Xianglan head to the garden this place, can't help but secretly admire, suddenly saw the girl led her to the cave of the rockery, to drill the cave, the eyes suddenly opened, on both sides is the hand verandah, along the verandah straight down, is the Hui Feng Zhai's three main rooms and four hugging buildings, the window green tile, the beautiful wood verdant, elegant very.

Xianglan praised it in her heart, and followed the little girl to the door, and a girl wearing a brown tooth-pinching vest opened the curtain and said, "Miss Huan, the things have been delivered." ”

Xianglan lowered her head slightly, her eyes didn't dare to glance, only listening to the sound of talking and laughing from the banquet of the guests, Cao Lihuan was talking: "...... The last time I went to Xianni Zhai, I spent fifty taels of silver to buy a cloak and a jacket, at this price, or the shopkeeper said that I was a regular customer to be cheap. I spent more than 200 taels of silver in Xianni Zhai......"

Xianglan heard that Cao Lihuan was swinging wide again, pursed her lips, and walked in with low eyebrows. There were six young ladies sitting in the room, and Cao Lihuan was sitting at the table of the Eight Immortals drinking tea, when she saw Xianglan coming in, her face sank, and she said, "Why are you here?" What about Huairui? ”

Xianglan said: "Huairui was not in the house, so I came, and asked Liu's mother to look at the door when I left." As he spoke, he handed over the box of flowers.

Cao Lihuan thought that she had just supported Hui'er to deliver something to Zhao Yuechan, and there was no one around to use it at the moment, so she said to Xianglan: "You wait and then leave." I took the box and opened it and took out one, gesturing and smiling: "This is what I just said, my brother entrusted someone to bring back the palace flowers from Beijing, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs ordered me to buy them, and my brother entrusted someone to leave me a box, which is all fashionable money." Come, pick one and wear it. As he spoke, he handed the box of ** flowers to Lin Dongqi. Lin Dongqi is neither old nor young, but because she is the only concubine of the Qin family, Cao Lihuan has the heart to meet her, so she deliberately let her choose first.

Lin Dongqi looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with a beautiful appearance, a pair of phoenix eyes slightly raised, a bee waist and a back, describing the demeanor and Qin's draft, revealing a shrewd and capable body, wearing a white satin jacket and silk skirt in a regular manner, no jewelry except for a silver hairpin on his head, wearing a pair of silver bracelets engraved with Fu Lu Shou ornaments on his wrists, lined with Hao wrists like snow, holding a cup of tea and smiling at Cao Lihuan: "Since it is such a good flower, my sister will keep it and wear it, I have it." ”

Cao Lihuan smiled amiably and ironingly: "Why is my sister so polite, there are four branches in the box, and one of you is just right to choose one." Sister, what do you think of this branch in my hand? The stamens on the top are still strung with pearls the size of a grain of rice. ”

Lin Dongqi was about to excuse himself, so he heard a soft voice next to him say: "This is someone's heart, the big and small sisters here, specially let the second sister pick first, you, don't spoil the good intentions of others." Xianglan sent the box and retreated to the corner, heard the words and followed the sound to look, only to see a thirteen-year-old girl sitting next to the kang table, melon seed face, thin eyebrows, a little cherry mouth, looking sick, but delicate and pitiful, extremely beautiful, with a pigment silver on his head, wearing a white peony jacquard quilt, and a white cotton silk skirt, which is more conspicuous than Lin Dongqi's dress.

Xianglan thought secretly: "Tinglan said that Lin Dongjun, the eldest daughter of the big house, has been married, and there is a third daughter named Lin Dongxiu, so I think it is her." is a beauty, but her words are mean, and she will fall into Cao Lihuan's face in public. ”

As soon as Cao Lihuan heard this, her face really changed, and she wanted to have a seizure but was hindered by the identity of the other party, so she endured it, pretended not to hear, and beckoned the other girls and said, "Come, Sister Aya is also picky." ”

Xianglan's eyes looked over and saw a girl sitting on the other side of the kang table, snorting melon seeds with disdain, looking at Lin Dongqi of the same age, thick eyebrows and big eyes, Qiong nose and sandalwood mouth, born handsome and handsome, only one bun on the top of her head, the rest of it was braided into a braid, decorated with a little pearl on her head, a brocade white jacket skirt on her body, embroidered with delicate white flowers, a silver collar around her neck, adorned with a piece of warm white jade, is the daughter of the second room, Lin Dongyan, the third lady of the Lin family; There is also a girl sitting on Lin Dongqi's left, looking at the thirteen-year-old, goose egg face, snow skin and cream, willow eyebrows, gentle and introverted, wearing a half-new cloud goose pattern brocade wide snow green neckline and long gown, under a dark green skirt, wearing two or three kinds of gold on her head, not feeling luxurious, but very rich and noble. Xianglan didn't know which family she was, and when she saw that she was beautiful, she couldn't help but look twice. In fact, this girl is Song Ke's sister Song Tanchai, who came to the Lin Mansion as a guest.

Cao Lihuan asked a few little sisters to pick flowers, Lin Dongya had a holiday with Cao Lihuan, and they didn't pay attention to it; Song Tanchai has an introverted temperament, she doesn't like to socialize with people very much, and she is meticulous, she glanced at the box and thought to herself: "There are only four flowers in the box, it should be one branch for each of the Lin sisters, and the girl Huan will keep one more branch for herself, and I won't have my share, so why should I rush to pick one branch and grab other people's flowers to wear?" It's also boring. So he smiled slightly and didn't move.

Cao Lihuan shouted a few times and didn't move, her face was a little unbearable, and said: "This flower is really the best, I heard that it takes a day of hard work for a good craftsman to make this branch, and the ladies in the palace can afford to wear it, and I can't buy it if I want to buy it outside, this box of flowers, my brother spent a full twenty taels of silver......"

"The lady in the palace doesn't wear this flower and doesn't hit the royal face, good cousin, you just put it away." Lin Dongya's face was full of ridicule, spit out the skin of melon seeds and said, "Which of the flowers in the palace dares to be named?" On the back of your flower is clearly written the merchant's name 'Ming Ji', and I have seen it. The flowers made by an unknown small workshop dare to ask your brother for twenty taels of silver, alas, you can know that you have been deceived. ”

Lin Dongxiu smiled lightly, revealing a pair of dimples on his lips, but covered his mouth slightly with a handkerchief, and said: "That's it, there are several famous jewelry makers in the capital, Yongji, Wanbaolou, and Yuan Fufang, but I have never heard of it called 'Mingji'." We all have flowers, last time I went back to the palace to reward two boxes, each sister can share five branches, during the New Year, my mother also sent someone to send someone to the third sister, I don't know if I received it? ”

Lin Dongya said with a smile: "Naturally, I received it, as well as clothes and jewelry, my aunt is careful, and I can't forget any good thing." When I opened the box, I knew that the flowers were in the palace, and they were exquisite, and no matter how good the business was done, it was not as decent as the royal family. ”

Every time these two people say a word, Cao Lihuan's face darkens, she is ambitious, and she always wants to climb up and embark on the path of the elite, not only can not make people look down on herself, but also strive to be the first in everything. When I arrived at this tea party, I naturally wanted to show off that I was a young lady who had eaten and seen insight, but no one bought it. She kindly took out her treasured flowers to please her, but she made a fuss. Lin Dong Ayahara had a holiday with her, but Lin Dongxiu also ridiculed her and slapped her face in public!

Cao Lihuan has a charcoal temper, her face is flushed, and she is about to have a seizure immediately. Lin Dongqi said with a smile: "This flower is very good, but right now, in my great-grandmother's filial piety, I can't wear red or purple, and Sister Huan is kind to us." Besides, Sister Huan is about to leave the cabinet, so these beautiful flowers should be kept and worn by herself. ”

Lin Dongxiu saw that Lin Dongqi was going to ring the steps for Cao Li, snorted, but turned his head to talk to Song Tanchai, and said with a pleasant face: "Sister Tanchai, if you want to talk about novel and beautiful palace flowers, I have a few branches there, which I can't wear in my great-grandmother's filial piety, and it will fall into ashes if you put it in vain. ”

Song Tanchai said with a smile: "Sister Su's kindness should not be shirked, but I don't like to wear any flowers and powder, so my sister keeps it for herself." ”

Lin Dongxiu said affectionately: "What are you polite to me?" If you don't like it, keep it, there will always be a time to wear it. ”

Lin Dongya immediately rushed and said: "I also have flowers there, piled yarn, silk, satin, the stamens are inlaid with agate crystals, beautiful and tight, made by the most famous master in Jinling, Sister Tanchai also took it to wear, I will let the rhino send it to you when I turn around." ”

These words hooked Cao Lihuan's temperament even more, and she secretly hated: "I am the serious relative of the Lin family, Miss Cousin, Song Tanchai is a fart!" It's just the daughter of the sister of the second wife, and she is also a poor family, looking at the poor and sour clothes, the material is good, who knows how long she has been wearing it. Lin Dongjun and Lin Dongya, the two hateful ones, are obviously trying to squeeze me out of the little frozen rats who deliberately praised the Song family! I was angry, and I also had a gun and a stick on my mouth: "Sister Tanchai is so blessed, the two sisters are competing to give you flowers, what else do you refuse, how can I be unpopular like me, I am in a hurry to send it to others, and people still dislike it." You don't want to come for nothing, but let people call you a fool. ”

Lin Dongyan immediately said: "We are happy to send us, what does it have to do with you?" Or hurry up and take care of your flowers and your things, don't look back and call a thief, slap me again, my body is delicate, and the wild crazy wild man can beat people, but I can't help punching and kicking. ”

Lin Dongxiu seemed to be taken aback, and covered her mouth with a handkerchief: "Sister Aya was beaten?" My sister is such a precious person, even the second aunt is reluctant to flick a finger, how can she still be beaten by others? ”

Lin Dongya sneered: "How many fights have we had since we called, and the old lady's face dare not give ......"

"Fourth sister." Lin Dongqi suddenly opened his mouth and slammed his mouth on the ground, "The pearl on your braid has fallen." ”

Lin Dongya looked at the ground, and sure enough, there was a round pearl lying on the ground, so she touched her braid, and said indifferently: "Just go back and let the girls pick it up." ”

Lin Dongqi's eldest maid Tasha picked up the beads with great eyes, and put them back in her purse for Lin Dongya with her own hands. Lin Dongqi said angrily: "The fourth sister's problem of losing everything has not been corrected. ”

Lin Dongya said with a smile: "There is only one bead horizontally and vertically, and if you lose it, you will lose it, and it doesn't matter." ”

Lin Dongxiu said: "Phew, that is, you, don't feel sorry if you lose such a big pearl." ”

"I'll take these beads off my hair and give each of us sisters a hairpin." Lin Dongya smiled while drinking tea, looked at Song Tanchai and said, "I also have a share of Tanchai's sister." ”

The implication is that there is no Cao Lihuan. Xianglan shook her head secretly, thinking that this cousin was also thick-skinned, and the ladies of the Lin family were obviously very unwilling to see her, but she was not here to spend it. I also sighed that Cao Lihuan's fake Miss Everybody is different from the real Miss. How did Cao Lihuan boast about the flowers in her hands - "The stamens on the top are still strung with pearls the size of rice grains." But a pearl the size of a grain of rice is triumphant, Lin Dongya's fingernail-sized pearl is lost, and she doesn't care if she loses it, and she has to give her sister a pearl hairpin, and she will make a judgment at once, and the girl is afraid that she can't help it.

Sure enough, Cao Lihuan was furious, stood up with a "pout", stared at her eyes and said loudly: "You, you deceive people too much!" What does it mean to run me over and over again! ”

Lin Dongqi hurriedly got up, walked to Cao Lihuan's side and pulled her arm, smiled and persuaded: "What's the matter, Sister Huan, don't be angry, don't be angry, then they are playing with you, don't take it to heart." ”

Lin Dongyan said in a tone of voice: "Ouch, what's wrong?" Are you going to hit someone again? ”

At this time, I only heard someone outside: "You guys are so lively, who is going to beat someone?" ”
