Xu Qiyao paused and said, "The second sister said before that she was going to Yuwang's Mansion to accompany the county lord to study, so she didn't plan to go to the poetry meeting. That's why I didn't mention it to you. However, the Frost Mercy County Lord is twelve years old this year, and the Yang Mansion should have invited her as well. ”

Xu Qiyun smiled proudly on the side: "It's not that you won't let the fifth sister go, it's just that you are too young to recognize a few words, where can you compose poems." This post is not available to everyone, even my fourth sister, who is only a month younger than me, is not. ”

Xu Qiyu naturally couldn't receive the post, not to mention that her father was a concubine, even Xu Qiyu's expression at the eldest princess's flower appreciation banquet before had already subtracted points in the hearts of the wives. Which little lady is good, which little lady is not good, these news spread the fastest in the family of the noble family in Beijing, and it is impossible for the general's mansion not to know at all.

Xu Qiyao glared at Xu Qiyun, and then said to Xu Qirong with a smile: "I don't know what jewelry the second sister wears." ”

If you want to know what jewelry Xu Qijin is wearing, you can just ask in Fenghe Courtyard next door, so why come to Fenghua Courtyard to ask her! Xu Qirong suddenly realized in his heart, this is to come to Fenghua Courtyard to rub things!

Xu Qirong couldn't get it, so he just smiled stupidly: "Didn't my sister say nowhere to go!" Since the county is going to go, my sister doesn't have to go to Yuwang's Mansion, just enough to play with me! ”

Xu Qiyao glanced at Xu Qirong with disgust, and looked serious: "Are you stupid!" The second sister is now the eldest daughter of a lost mother, and it will be difficult to say goodbye in the future. There is such a good opportunity as the poetry meeting, the second sister has a good show of her talent and virtuous virtue, so that the wives of each family have a number in their hearts, where do you have to worry about the future! ”

Xu Qiyao saw that Xu Qirong was listening carefully, and continued: "The fourth aunt is gone, and the fourth uncle doesn't care about this, so I have to think more about your sisters as a big sister." ”

Xu Qirong sneered in her heart, her sister is now the county lord's companion, and she is close to the county lord, so she is worried about the relationship between Yuwang Mansion and the eldest princess's mansion, and her sister is so good, it is very easy to marry a good family!

Besides, her sister is also the granddaughter of Princess Pingtai! Although Princess Pingtai is a princess of the previous dynasty, she is also related to the current royal family!

Seeing that Xu Qirong didn't speak, Xu Qiyao was stunned for a moment, she thought that her words were seamless, shouldn't the fifth sister be grateful?

Xu Qirong saw that Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun looked surprised, only to realize that his reaction didn't seem to be quite right, and he hurriedly said excitedly: "Big sister said this very well, my sister is reluctant to go, so I have to help persuade the big sister." ”

Xu Qiyao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "In front of the second sister, I can't say this, you are sisters, you go and persuade, the second sister is allowed to listen!" I don't know what jewelry the second sister will wear when the time comes, my third sister and I don't have the right jewelry, and the beads that people made a few days ago haven't had time to inlay the beads! I couldn't find the right beads for a while. So I want to ask the second sister if she has other jewelry, or if she is sent in the middle of the public. ”

Xu Qiyun hurriedly answered: "I heard that the fifth sister brought beaded jewelry back from Yangzhou to the second sister, and the second sister may not use the silk flowers issued by the public." ”

Xu Qiyao glanced at Xu Qiyun worriedly: "Then what should I do?" The bead flower we ordered should be inlaid with eighteen beads, and the materials found by the jewelry master are not good for our own beads! Unfortunately, I don't have that many sizes in my house. ”

With this singing and harmony, Xu Qirong basically understood what their idea was.

Sure enough, I heard Xu Qiyun speak: "Hey, I heard that the fifth sister brought back two boxes of malachite beads of the same size from Yangzhou City, one box was given to the second sister, and the other box was kept by herself." Fifth sister, you are young and don't need these jewelry, so you will lend the malachite beads to your sister, and you will pay you back a lot in the future, okay? ”

Xu Qiyao's face was overjoyed, and she also looked at Xu Qirong expectantly.

Xu Qirong sneered in her heart, she thought that they were just the idea of hitting that box of pearls, but she didn't expect the idea to hit the malachite beads!

In fact, the little lady makes bead flowers, generally using white or pink pearls, or white jade beads, topaz beads and the like. Malachite beads are opaque dark green and have a strip-like pattern of color shades, which are generally used to perforate necklaces or bracelets, or inlaid on hairpins.

When making necklaces and bracelets, the little lady can still wear one, which can be inlaid on the hairpin step, which is more suitable for women in their twenties.

Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun are missing beads to make beads, but they just took this opportunity to talk to her about the expensive ones!

Xu Qiyao asked Xu Qirong with a smile: "Fifth sister won't be unwilling, right?" Being a sister is not something that you want for nothing, and if you get a better one in the future, it will naturally be left to you with the fifth sister. ”

Xu Qirong looked helpless and said, "It's not that my sister is stingy, it's just that Mother Liu and Yu Qiu are in charge of things!" ”

Among the big girls in Fenghua Courtyard, Yu Qiu is the most powerful! Although Yu Xia is now more embarrassed in front of Xu Qirong, her temperament is there, and Yu Qiu is still in charge of many things!

Saying that, Xu Qirong said to Biyu, who was serving the tea: "Go and find your sister Yuqiu." ”

Jasper was clever and hurriedly agreed.

Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun didn't know much about the affairs of Fenghua Courtyard, and when they saw that Xu Qirong asked the maid to find Yu Qiu, they felt that this matter had been very successful. There was a genuine smile on his face.

Xu Qiyao slowly took the remaining half of the tea, and he didn't dislike the cold tea at all. Xu Qiyun couldn't hold his breath and couldn't stop looking outside.

Xu Qirong was very calm, and said to Xu Qiyao with a smile: "Does the eldest sister like this Biluochun?" ”

Xu Qiyao looked at the already empty cup, can she say she doesn't like it! So I nodded honestly.

The smile on Xu Qirong's face became even bigger, and he beckoned to Yun'er, who was standing at the door, and said, "Go and ask your sister Yu Xia, where did she collect those one or two Biluochun?" I soaked it twice, wrapped the rest, and brought it back to the eldest lady to drink. ”

One or two Biluochun? Don't we have a pound or two of Biluochun!

Yun'er is a clever person, but she didn't show any doubts in her heart, and immediately agreed to Xu Qirong's instructions, and ran to find Yu Xia to pack a couple of Biluochun.

Although Xu Qiyao is too little, but people said that the total number of people was just like that, and it was all given to her, and it was hard to say anything, so she smiled and said: "The fifth sister has given it to me, what do you drink?" ”

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Big sister cares about me, am I not even willing to give such an idea of tea to my big sister?" Besides, the big sister understands tea, and this Biluochun is better for the big sister. The tea was obtained from Yuwang's Mansion, and I can be regarded as borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. ”

Yun'er ran fast, Biyu and Yu Qiu hadn't come back yet, she came back with the wrapped tea first. She is a thoughtful person, and specially reminded Yu Xia to make some wrinkles in the new kraft paper, which looks like it has been opened and wrapped.

Xu Qiyao was in a good mood, and she didn't shirk it, so she let the maid who followed her pick it up.

Xu Qirong glanced at Xu Qiyun again, and said with a smile: "You can't favor one over the other, third sister, a few days ago, my father found me a handkerchief embroidered with silk thread woven from kingfisher feathers, which is embroidered with a brocade rooster to report the dawn, it looks good, so give it to the third sister!" ”

Yun'er was very eye-catching, and quickly took the handkerchief.

Xu Qiyun saw that Xu Qiyao had accepted the tea, and that the handkerchief was indeed gratifying, so he accepted it with joy on his face.

Seeing that they had collected all their things, Xu Qirong was also very happy.

At this time, Yu Qiu and Biyu were late.

Yu Qiu had already heard Biyu tell the ins and outs of the matter, and as soon as he came in, he greeted the three masters with a straight face. Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun were happy in their hearts, and they didn't care, but they were a little surprised when they saw Yu Qiu coming empty-handed.

In front of Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun, Xu Qirong told Yu Qiu about the matter again, and then said to Yu Qiu: "What about the beads you manage?" ”

Yu Qiu glanced at Xu Qirong and said honestly: "Before, the second lady said that our girl was young, and she was afraid that those of us who were slaves would ignore the girl's things, so she mentioned this matter to the fourth master. The fourth master instructed the servant to make a list of all the valuable things in our girl's name and handed them over to Gao Bo to manage. If you want to take malachite beads, I am afraid that Gao Bo will agree. ”

Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun are also a little afraid of Uncle Gao, Yu Qiu said it reasonably, and the two of them couldn't say that Yu Qiu was lying, so they had to be displeased, and said: "The fifth sister is the master, Uncle Gao is the slave of the Pingqiu Courtyard, how can the slave of the Pingqiu Courtyard still be in charge of the master of the Fenghua Courtyard?" There is no such reason in the entire Xijing City! ”

Xu Qirong mended the knife on the side: "I think so too, but my father asked Uncle Gao to take care of it, and Uncle Gao is so scary, I don't dare to come with him!" ”

Yu Qiu testified to Xu Qirong: "A few days ago, our girl got an interesting piece of pine stone from the county lord, and wanted to take a good inkstone as a return gift, but Gao Bo was unwilling. He said that the human relations between the little ladies do not need such valuable things, and said that it is a good inkstone, it is best to keep it, and in the future, there will be a brother in Pingqiu Courtyard, and it will be used by the brother! ”

Xu Qiyun stood up suddenly: "This Uncle Gao is also too deceitful, fifth sister, you didn't sue him in front of the fourth uncle?" ”

Xu Qirong sighed: "Daddy also said that I was too big-handed." Big sister, third sister, I asked Yu Qiu to find Gao Bo, if he agrees, it's fine, if he doesn't agree, I have no choice. You should know that I, as a younger sister, have all the good things to think about my sisters, and it's not that I'm stingy. ”

Xu Qiyao and Xu Qiyun touched the Biluochun and handkerchief they had just gotten, and their faces turned green with anger. I was afraid that this matter would reach the ears of Master Xu Si, so that Master Xu Si felt that they only knew how to ask for things with their sister as sisters, but they still didn't let Xu Qirong call Uncle Gao.
