The grape trellis is covered with dense green branches and leaves, under the lush leaves, a puff of grapes hangs all over the shelf, between the blue clouds, most of the grapes are not yet ripe, Zhang Shunjia looked at these grapes quite melancholy, picked out the ripe hand-cut basket, she wanted to go over to see the second miss.

Zhang Shun's family ordered people to prepare the car, with four daughters-in-law who followed the car, she is the prince's housekeeper, low-key although low-key, there should be pomp and circumstance, to the door of the Yingguo Mansion, Yutan received the news and greeted early, Zhang Shun's family curtsy to say hello, Yutan helped her up and smiled, "Why did the distinguished guest come suddenly?" ”

Zhang Shunjia said with a smile, "The second lady made fun of the slave." ”

Zhang Shun's family does not call his aunt and grandmother, but also no longer calls himself the slave and maid of the Li family, does not call Mrs. Fang Shao, only calls the second lady, what is valued is the old friendship, there is no contact for three months, the two of them are reserved and refuse to move around lightly, they are very cautious people, they have to avoid suspicion at sensitive moments, and their eyes are a little sour when they look at each other and smile.

Yutan looked at Zhang Shun's family quietly, and saw Zhang Shun's family wearing a new lily shirt, a green satin pinched tooth vest, a pleated skirt with elastic ink, embroidered auspicious cloud patterns on the skirt cuffs, only a small jade plug the size of a grain of rice on his ears, and a pair of gold bracelets on his wrist.

Zhang Shun's family is a proper person, and Yutan nodded secretly when he saw her style.

The four were dressed like the Che daughter-in-law and Zhang Shun's family, looking decent and clean, and they all came over often to pass the word, and the four young daughters-in-law also bowed, Zhang Shunjia smiled, "The slave maid should have come over to say goodbye, the prince came back yesterday." Seeing that the grapes in the yard were ripe, he ordered the slave maid to send some to Mrs. Fang and the second lady to try them, which was also the prince's intention. ”

Yutan smiled, "My mother-in-law happens to be free, and my sister-in-law comes with me." ”

Yutan smiled and took Zhang Shun's hand, giving enough decency, Zhang Shun's family is a slave. That's also the prince's slave. The status is different, Yutan also has to be respected, and Zhang Shun's family is a little step back. The demeanor is neither humble nor arrogant, and there is a degree of advance and retreat.

A sense of familiarity returned.

The Zheng family and the Yao family received the gate of the main courtyard and gave them enough dignity, and Zhang Shun's family stepped forward to give a salute. Zheng helped her up with his own hands, exchanged a few words of greetings and entered the hall. The Zheng family invited Zhang Shun's family to sit in the main seat, and Zhang Shun's family was willing, "Madame really killed the slave maid, Madame is the first-class lady of the imperial court." The slave and maid are just lowly slaves and maids, and the opportunity to talk to the lady is the grace of the prince. ”

So they sat down as guests and hosts. Zhang Shunjia sat leaning over.

Zheng smiled and socialized with her, but they didn't know each other well. After saying a few words about the weather, the Zheng family was out of words, the fourth lady Yao wanted to flatter, and her eyes slipped up and down, Zhang Shun's body really couldn't find anything to praise, Yao smiled, "Mrs. is worthy of serving by the prince's side, look at the grandeur of this body is really generous." ”

Zhang Shunjia said with a smile, "The slave maid is fortunate to serve the prince, and he is no longer an errand boy by the prince's side, and the slave and maid can't see the prince." ”

Yutan hurriedly smiled and said, "The prince is a nostalgic person, I went back yesterday and saw that the grapes in the yard were about to ripen, so I asked people to send some over, and I also asked my mother-in-law to try it, a little bit of the prince's heart." ”

Zheng knew that Zhang Shun's family had something to say to his daughter-in-law, so he smiled, "The prince's mind, each courtyard will be divided, Li's family, you accompany Zhang Shun's family to drink tea, and set up a meal in Biyuexuan for a while, so that your fourth aunt Zhang Luo is ready." ”

Yutan stood up with a smile, and walked towards Yinqiu Garden with Zhang Shun's family, surrounded by a bunch of maids and daughters-in-law behind him, and saw the bamboos outside the courtyard becoming more and more verdant from afar, Brother Jin and Brother Min pretended to play on the edge of the bamboo forest, and saw Zhang Shun's family from a distance, Brother Jin stretched his neck and looked back, he didn't see Brother Shen, and his brother refused to come again.

Brother Jin suddenly got angry and shook a bamboo rod vigorously.

Zhang Shun's family saw it clearly, and stepped forward with a smile and curtsied, "The slave maid asked the second son and the third son to say goodbye, I haven't seen them for a few days, and the two sons have grown taller again." ”

Brother Jin stopped shaking and looked at her blankly, and suddenly asked, "My brother is not coming back?" ”

Brother Jin cried after saying this, he was very aggrieved, he sobbed loudly while crying, Brother Min endured it first, seeing that Brother Jin was crying loudly, he also wiped his eyes and cried, Yutan was really helpless with his hand on his forehead, and it was not good to scold Zhang Shunjia in front of him.

Zhang Shunjia said with a smile, "The prince's status is noble, the two sons and the prince have a brotherly fate, and the blessings are not shallow, the prince always remembers in his heart, and orders the slave maid to come to see the son, and tells the two sons to study hard." ”

The second sister also said this, and Zhang Shun's family said it differently.

Brother Jin was still struggling with the question of his brother not coming back, so he heard Brother Min say, "My third brother and I will study hard, listen to the prince's words, and not embarrass the prince." ”

Yutan was full of taste, and smiled and asked Zhang Shunjia to come in and speak.

It was the little maid who came to pour the tea, poured the tea and withdrew.

Zhang Shun's family knew that the three of them were married, "The prince went back once yesterday, and he went back with a team of people, and he drove back to the palace in less than a quarter of an hour, and the slave and maid looked at the prince and lost some weight, and the prince told the slave and maid to do a few things, so that the slave and maid restrained their subordinates, and also asked the slave and maid to take time to see Mrs. Lu, and the slave and maid did not go out in these three months, I don't know what happened to Mrs. Lu." ”

Yutan slowly wiped the tea soup, "Mrs. Lu is still living in seclusion as before, she is four months pregnant. ”

Zhang Shunjia smiled, "Amitabha, this is really good news." ”

Yutan was noncommittal when she heard this, and saw that Brother Jin probed his brain and wanted to come in, this kid is really unruly, Zhang Shunjia saw it at a glance, and was afraid that Yutan's face would not be able to get up, so she smiled, "The third son is just here, please come in, the second son is still outside?" There are also four and five young ladies invited, and the prince has calligraphy and painting. ”

Yutan had to ask people to go, but it didn't take much effort for Yufang and Yuqin to come hand in hand.

Zhang Shun's family looked carefully, and saw that the fifth lady's whereabouts were becoming more and more beautiful, the light blue silk robe, and only a ribbon was tied on the head.

Yuqin just nodded, Yufang glanced at her sister and said hello with a smile.

Zhang Shunjia took out five scrolls, handed them to the second lady with a smile, Yutan was about to kneel, Zhang Shunjia was busy holding on, and said with a smile, "The prince said, the slave and maid came over only to talk about family affection." ”

Yutan is not good to insist anymore, take it and open the scroll, I saw a horse, stepping on a pool of clear water, the head is raised high, shaking the mane, it seems to be a long roar, the four hooves are eager to run, Yutan unconsciously looked at it, she has seen a lot of ancient and modern famous paintings, she has never seen such a style of horses, the posture is wonderful, lifelike, the inscription is a five-word quatrain, "Spring rain runs Yutan, the spring splashes flowers, the dragon dives into the water deep, the emerald green without a trace." ”

Brother Jin had already shouted on the side, "The painting is a big horse, the second sister, and the elder brother is painting a big horse." ”

Yutan glanced at him with disgust, "It's His Royal Highness the Prince, Brother Jin'er, you remember." ”

Brother Jin sighed sullenly, Yutan ordered the maid to carefully pin on the screen, looked at the painting and pondered, opened another scroll, and saw a craggy mountain stone, a tree of apricot blossoms, a piece of grass, a few black rabbits, flower rabbits leisurely eating grass, a poem in the blank space, "In the sound of the rain, the evening window is transparent, and the grass is sad, why bother to be idle." ”

Brother Jin pointed to the rabbit and said, "This is the rabbit raised by my brother." ”

Brother Min glanced at Zhang Shun's family cautiously and quietly reminded him, "It was raised by the prince." ”

Yufang looked at the inscription poem with a word Fang, and knew that this painting was given to her, the poem implied consolation, Yufang liked it very much, smiled and bent the corners of her mouth, Yutan looked at Yufang and smiled slightly, Yufang was much more cheerful than before, and ordered the maid not to look at the screen once, and saw that Yuqin was a little wandering in the world, not looking at the two paintings on the screen, but just in that trance.

Yutan opened a scroll again, in the painting, a white cat looked at the hydrangea in front of him, stretched out a snow-white cat's paws, and a yellow cat put his paws on the white cat, looking back at the white cat, this painting is very good-looking, the cat's fluff is realistic, and the blank space is also inscribed with a poem, "The natural spirit is in the dust, the soft language is like a fairy, the jade girl is lying in her arms, two silver whiskers and old steel needles, making flowers flutter butterflies are clever and pleasant, obsessed with fish fragrance is always ecstasy, and occasionally the rats dare to enter the eyes, stand up and raise their eyebrows and sword in front." ”

Yuqin looked at this painting, and didn't know what was going on, his face suddenly became hot, and he hurriedly lowered his head, and heard Brother Jin shouting in his ear, "My brother drew cats, and my brother drew two kittens." Then he said, "The prince is drawing a cat." ”

Brother Jin was suddenly very smart, "The fifth sister is like a cat, my brother said." ”

Yu Qin was so angry that he blushed and glared at him, "Brother Jin, you dare to talk nonsense again." ”

Brother Jin didn't understand why the fifth sister was angry, Yutan sighed in his heart, opened a scroll again, and Brother Jin shouted first, "Little squirrel, it's a little squirrel." ”

Painting a slanted pine branch hung all over the pine tower, is a small squirrel with a big tail on the pine branch holding the pine cone, the small eyes are round, the inscription poem, "like a mouse but exquisite, the tail is big and fluffy, often hold the pine nut and smile, sit and watch the sunset wind." ”

The last painting is a half-shaded moon with branches, a donkey rolling on the ground, a little boy standing next to the donkey with a double ring, the boy only shows his back, and inscribes a poem, "A round of bright moon shines in the sky, the boy goes to pee in the middle of the night, does not know the true face of the donkey mountain, and the dried fruit candied fruit comes as a meal." ”

Brother Jin just shouted the little donkey, Brother Min covered his mouth and laughed, Brother Jin was stunned for a while, he also understood that his brother was making fun of him, Brother Jin cried as soon as he wow, this cry was simply earth-shattering.

Yutan couldn't help but laugh and hurriedly took Brother Jin in his arms and coaxed him, Brother Jin was crying and choking, "I didn't say that I didn't know the true face of Donkey Mountain for a long time, I had already changed, and my brother didn't know." ”

Yuqin bent the corners of his mouth and wanted to laugh, Brother Shen wrote a crude and good poem, and saw the two kittens on the painting at a glance, the kittens in the painting were vivid, and the kittens' paws seemed to scratch in their hearts. (To be continued) R466
