Chapter 249: The Peacock Flies Southeast

PS: Nanzhu has really come out, the heroine is really not so easy to marry, and the book is really not finished...... The tsundere peacock wishes everyone a happy chopping day! Xiao Hui has already cried and fainted in front of the shopping cart!

Xu Qirong turned his head and saw the Gu family maid guarding the door coming forward, hurriedly suppressed his laughter, turned his head to the Gu family maid and said, "We are the girls of the Xu family on Wanqi Street, and I am Xu Fifteen." ”

The maid of the Gu family smiled and blessed, and said to the three of them: "Our lady specially told the maid to wait for the girl here!" A few days ago, the fourth young master of my family got a few peacocks from Hengzhou and raised them in the garden, and the poetry meeting was held there, and Mrs. was feeding them there with the ladies! ”

Xu Qirong nodded and said with a smile: "It's rare to see a peacock in this Xijing City. ”

I understand in my heart, I am afraid that this time Mrs. Gu sent her a post because she wanted to see her for her fourth son. Otherwise, the maid would not have mentioned the matter of the fourth young master of the Gu family to her at such a time.

Xu Qiyu quietly pulled Xu Qirong's sleeve and whispered, "Fifteenth sister, what do peacocks eat?" ”

Xu Qirong didn't know, pondered for a while, and guessed: "Peacocks are birds, and birds eat insects, right......?"

"Hey, it's disgusting!" Xu Qiyu was disgusted for a moment, and then asked, "Fifteenth sister has seen a peacock?" ”

Xu Qirong shook his head.

Then Xu Qiqi said curiously: "How does the fifteenth sister know that the peacock is a bird?" ”

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "The peacock flies southeast, wandering for five miles." What is it that can fly, not a bird? ”

Xu Qiyu suddenly realized. Then he looked at Xu Qirong with admiration, and said: "No wonder my uncle and grandmother asked me to take a good look at the fifteenth sister, the poems that the fifteenth sister reads are so powerful." It's better than what my husband taught me, and he hasn't taught me a poem with a bird's name in it! The fifteenth sister is good-looking and can recite poetry, but I'm afraid everyone will rush to grab it back! ”

Xu Qirong choked, quite crying and laughing.

Xu Qixuan heard it next to him, turned his head and teased Xu Qixuan: "Why didn't Mr. teach you verses containing bird names?" Two yellow orioles are singing green willows, and a line of egrets is in the sky. Inside, orioles, egrets. Aren't they all bird names? ”

Xu Qixuan pursed her lips, looked at Xu Qixuan like a fool, and snorted coldly: "Sister Twelve is so stupid. How can birds like orioles and egrets be compared to peacocks! ”

As soon as Xu Qiyu's words fell, he heard a laugh from the side, but it was a man's voice. Xu Qirong and Xu Qixuan were both taken aback. Hurriedly turned his head to look. Then they saw a man in a yellow-green robe with an emerald coat on the outside bowing to them.

Xu Qirong and Xu Qixuan hurriedly pulled Xu Qixuan to bless, which was regarded as a return gift, and then looked at the Gu family maid who led the way with a puzzled expression.

The maid of the Gu family hurriedly explained: "In today's poetry meeting, our wife not only invited the young ladies of each family, but also invited the young masters of various families. Miss Xu, please rest assured, Mrs. has placed a screen in the courtyard as a barrier, and it will not surprise the young ladies. ”

Xu Qirong breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded to her in understanding.

It seems that today is not only to see her, but also to provide an opportunity for unmarried men and women in the capital to get to know each other.

Xu Qiyu was still thinking about the peacock: "Sister maid." Is the peacock on the side of the screen or on the side of the screen? ”

The Gu maid smiled and said: "The peacock is placed in the garden at will, if it wants to come to the screen, it can come to the screen, and if it wants to come to the screen, it can go to the screen." However, there are young ladies who look as good-looking as you, Miss, and the peacock will definitely not go to the screen. ”

When Xu Qiyu heard this, his eyes lit up, and then he raised his head and said proudly: "With my fifteenth sister here, the peacock may have to quarrel with us to go home in the end!" ”

Fortunately, Xu Qiyu is young, otherwise people still think how arrogant their Xu family girls are!

When he arrived at the garden, although Xu Qixuan was worried about playing with the peacock, he was still sensible in the end, and followed Xu Qirong and Xu Qixuan to salute Mrs. Gu's family.

Mrs. Gu is a very gentle person, and when Xu Qirong saw her, she was holding a little lady's hand and saying something. When I saw Xu Qirong, I immediately smiled, and greeted him in three steps and two steps, and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for many years, but I didn't expect you to look so good now." When I first saw it, I thought, if only I had a daughter as well-behaved as you, my son and daughter are all demon kings of the world. ”

Xu Qirong pursed her lips, Mrs. Gu was mentioning the flower and fruit competition on the Qixi Festival that year, at that time, Mrs. Gu was the judge, and she was the little lady who participated in the competition. Hearing this, I actually noticed her at that time.

Xu Qirong said with a smile: "Thank you Madame for your concern, Qirong also thinks about when he can say hello to Madame!" Miss Gu's hairpin is very well written, how can it be the demon king of the mixed world, Miss Gu is the demon king of the mixed world, not to mention her appearance. Then he introduced Xu Qixuan and Xu Qixuan to Mrs. Gu: "This is my twelfth sister Sister Xuan, and her father is the fifteenth master of the Xu family." This is my twenty-first sister Sister Xu, and her father is the ninth master of the Xu family. ”

"They're all good boys!" Because Xu Qixuan and Xu Qixuan had just arrived in Xijing City, this was the first time they had come out to attend someone else's party, so Mrs. Gu praised the two of them, and asked the maid to fetch two beaded flowers for them to play with.

Xu Qixuan is fourteen years old this year, and she still gets the same pearl flowers as Xu Qixuan, and it is obvious that Mrs. Gu does not particularly like her.

Mrs. Gu smiled and said to Xu Qirong: "There are a lot of people here, you little ladies love to make friends of the same age, my old wife will not leave you to chat with me, I will let our sister Ming accompany you to see the peacock." As he spoke, he turned to the maid and said, "What about the eldest lady?" Let her come over and take the ladies of the Xu family to play together. ”

The maid smiled and said, "The eldest lady has already handed over the maid before, saying that if the lady asks about her, she will tell the lady, and she will come over when she goes to the boudoir to change her clothes." ”

Mrs. Gu was surprised: "What kind of clothes did she change at this time?" ”

The maid pursed her lips, looking embarrassed, and refused to say anything.

Mrs. Gu said to Xu Qirong: "I'll take you to see the peacock, the peacock was specially brought back by Shiro." Let the subordinates feed the coat and shine brightly, but it can be soothed. The people in the house love to tease it when they have nothing to do. ”

Xu Qirong and the others nodded in agreement.

Xu Qixuan asked Mrs. Gu with a worried face: "The peacock is just placed in the yard, won't it fly away?" ”

Mrs. Gu saw that her little face was wrinkled. I thought it was a little funny and asked, "Who told you that peacocks will fly away?" ”

Xu Qixuan said: "The fifteenth sister told me that 'the peacock flies southeast and wanders for five miles', and the peacock will naturally fly!" ”

Mrs. Gu laughed when she heard this, and said, "Our peacocks are fat, but they can't fly!" Then he turned his head to Xu Qirong and said, "People tell me that Sister Jin is very knowledgeable and can be the companion of the frost county lord." I met you once a few years ago and thought you were good. Now it seems that I am still very accurate in seeing people. ”

Xu Qirong pursed his lips: "Daddy likes to go home to collect books." My sister and I just read some of them, but they are not very knowledgeable, but people say that they read thousands of books and taste all kinds of life, and see more. There is always some truth to be understood. ”

Mrs. Gu nodded: "I didn't expect you to understand this at a young age." As he spoke, he came to the place surrounded by many little ladies. Sure enough, there was a peacock standing in the middle with its head held high, looking very proud.

Xu Qixuan sighed: "It's really fat!" ”

The peacock, who was surrounded by everyone and admired, suddenly heard Xu Qiyu's words, stumbled under his feet, and almost fell.

Xu Qiyu's eyes widened: "I'm so fat that I can't walk!" ”

When the peacock heard this, he immediately became angry, and immediately blinked his small eyes and looked in the direction of Xu Qiyu. I wanted to determine who was humiliating it, and I couldn't understand who said it after watching it for a long time. Suddenly, he trotted towards this side, and then stretched his neck to peck at Xu Qirong's feet.

Xu Qirong didn't understand how the peacock counted things on her head, in this case, it was not good to drive the peacock, and it was not easy to run away, no matter what she did, it was a loss of dignity.

Qiu Nong didn't frown, and stood in front of Xu Qirong by himself, protecting his own girl behind him. The peacock saw that Xu Qirong was blocked, and he was not attached to her, so he turned his head to peck Xu Qiyu again, and Xu Qixuan turned pale with fright. Jiujiu was very smart, busy learning Qiu Nong's appearance, and blocked in front of Xu Qixuan.

Mrs. Gu just talked to Xu Qirong for a few words, and she was quite satisfied with Xu Qirong in her heart, so naturally she would not let them make a fool of herself, seeing that Xu Qixuan's personal maid Cardamom also stepped forward to block in front of her own girl, she didn't care about the peacock's gold, so she hurriedly said to the maid: "Quickly let Gu Xiao's family come over and catch this peacock in the cage, don't hurt everyone." ”

The maid trotted for a while, and then saw a woman hurrying over with a cage and locking the peacock, who was a little stunned.

As soon as the peacock was closed, I saw a little girl in peacock green clothes rushing over, and ran to Mrs. Gu with a pout: "Mother, why did you lock up the peacock!" ”

"It pecks." Then he frowned, "Why did you change into such a dress?" ”

This dress was made for his daughter on a whim by Master Gu last year, because the color was too old-fashioned and not suitable for eleven or twelve-year-old girls, so she never wore it. Mrs. Gu didn't understand how her daughter turned it out and put it on an occasion like today.

Miss Gu smirked and refused to speak.

Mrs. Gu looked sternly at the round-faced maid standing behind Miss Gu.

The round-faced maid explained with a bitter face: "This peacock has been annoyed by everyone for the past two days, and she refused to open the screen just now, so Miss asked me to help her find this dress." ”

Mrs. Gu frowned and ordered, "Isn't this nonsense!" Go and change it back. He added, "In exchange, I came to see the sisters and sisters of the Xu family, and see how knowledgeable people are, you should study hard." ”

Miss Gu stuck out her tongue and smiled at Xu Qirong and the others, before she said to Mrs. Gu: "Anyway, the peacock was locked up by you, so change it." ”

Then he took the round-faced maid and walked away.

Xu Qirong reacted at this time, this Miss Gu was wearing peacock green because she wanted to pretend to be a peacock's companion to tease her to open the screen!

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt like something was being stuffed in my hand. Xu Qirong thought it was Xu Qiyun's prank, and when he turned his head, he saw that it was an acquaintance. It's just that it's Yujie or Bingqing, and it's hard to tell. (To be continued......)
