There were a few peacock calls in the courtyard in the afternoon, Xie Roushu only felt that the paper in front of her made her dizzy, and she couldn't help but put down the pen heavily, which alarmed the others in the room.

"What are you doing?" Xie Rouqing glared at her and said.

Xie Rouhui and Xie Yao, who were looking at the dinner list sent from the kitchen, also looked at it.

"If you don't want to help, don't write it." Xie Yao said, "No one is forcing you." ”

Although they are not yet old enough to learn to be the head of the house, when it comes to the girls' own parties, the family more or less lets them arrange it themselves.

Xie Roushu really didn't want to do it, but she also knew that if she really didn't do it, she would be stupid, how many sisters in the family were waiting to come over to help.

"No, it's not." Xie Roushu rolled her eyes and stretched out her hand to point outside, "The peacock is noisy." ”

As if to confirm her words, the peacock in the courtyard cried a few times again.

"Listen to you." Xie Roushu hurriedly shouted.

"Make fewer excuses." Xie Rouqing said in a rough voice.

Xie Rouhui smiled.

"The fourth sister is still young, and many of the brothers and sisters in the family have not recognized it, so it is difficult for her to rank her seats." She said, stretching out her hand, "Let me come, although I can't write, just let the girls write." ”

Xie Roushu clapped her hands happily.

"Megumi is the best." She shouted, standing up, "I'll bring you tea and water." ”

The girls in the room laughed.

"Then we're just decorations." They laughed.

Xie Yao stopped laughing.

"But speaking of which, it's better to send this peacock out first." She said, "You're recuperating from your injuries now, you need to rest well, it's a bit of a quarrel here." ”

"No, you don't." Xie Rouhui smiled and shook her head.

"Listen to me this time." Xie Yao pressed her arm, with a little undoubtedness, and looked at the girls, "I want to send the peacock to the garden to raise first, and then pick it up when Huihui is ready, do you want to go and talk to the eldest lady?" ”

A girl smiled and saluted.

"We were negligent." She said, "You don't need to ask the eldest lady for this kind of thing, we can make the decision, and I will arrange it." ”

The courtyard soon became quiet after a while, and Xie Roushu, who was lying by the window, took a deep breath.

"It's much more refreshing." She said, "It should have been like this a long time ago, you were generous before, and the girls connived at it, and used Jiajia like this." ”

"Alright, you're the smartest, come and pour tea." Xie Rouqing said.

Xie Roushu smiled and responded, the girls also smiled and said they didn't dare, the room was full of laughter and laughter, but there were two girls in the yard who were embarrassed.

"These are all made by the second miss?" One girl asked, looking at the four lanterns that the other girl was carrying.

"yes, I don't know if I should hang it up or not." The girl whispered.

These are two lotus lanterns and two wishful lanterns, which are given to the old lady, the old lady, the eldest lady, the eldest lady, and the eldest lady, but the one broke when it was used to hit the eldest lady in the morning.

The two girls finally hesitated to ask Xie Rouhui for instructions, and looking at the lanterns they brought in, the people in the room were a little surprised.

These four lamps are exquisitely made, and they are not worse than those bought outside, so the girl has really made them in such a short time? And do it so well.

"Buy it." Xie Roushu snorted and muttered.

"Don't send it yet." Xie Yao said.

"But that's Jiajia's heart." Xie Rouhui said.

"Since it's a heart, you can send it whenever you want." Xie Yao said with a smile, "Now the old lady and the eldest lady are angry, but it's not good to send them over, stay for a few days." ”

Xie Rouhui nodded.

"Put it away first." She said to the girls.

When the lanterns were first on, the garden of the Xie family was full of lanterns, there were painting boats in the water, and there was a stage on the shore.

Among them, in addition to the three ladies of the Xie family who replaced Xie Rouhui as the host, the most eye-catching is Shao Mingqing.

Shao Mingqing sat on the painting boat, surrounded by several teenagers of the same age, and countless people cast their eyes everywhere he passed, pointing at him clearly and secretly.

Shao Mingqing was neither panicked nor uneasy, and admired the lanterns with the people around him with a smile.

"Cousin Shao can write poetry?" Someone asked.

At this time, the ship has spread out pen and ink for everyone to recite poems and paint.

Shao Mingqing took a glass of wine from the girl's hand, and when he heard the question, he turned his head with a wine glass.

"Oh, I don't know how to compose poetry." He said with a slight smile.

When he said this, the painting boat was passing by the glazed lighthouse in the lake, because the people who came were all young men and women, in order to avoid someone drinking too much frivolously, the wine offered at the lantern festival was fruit wine, and a transparent crystal cup was used.

“… Nothing will be enough. Someone couldn't help but mutter.

Xie Roushu on the other painting boat was also stunned, although she has not yet reached the age of the first love, but her love for beauty is regardless of age.

"Call my cousin over, call my cousin." She hurriedly urged Xie Rouqing to shout.

Xie Rouqing glared at her, but still waved over there as she said, and the painting boat leaned over.

Shao Mingqing took the pulp handed by the boat lady and jumped over, and the painting boat swayed and caused the little girls to shout, but there was no reproach when he looked at Shao Mingqing's gaze.

"Where did you eat the table? Why didn't I see you on the other side of the stage? Xie Rouqing asked.

"I ate with them by the bridge." Shao Mingqing said with a smile and greeted Xie Yao and Xie Rouqing one by one.

"Cousin, cousin, my lanterns are beautiful, right?" Xie Roushu asked hurriedly.

Shao Mingqing nodded.

"It lives up to its name." He said.

"Then thank me, if it weren't for me, you..." Xie Roushu said with a little smugness, and was pushed away by Xie Rouqing before she finished speaking.

"What's your business?" Xie Rouqing said in a rough voice.

"That's the way I came up with it." Xie Roushu said unconvinced.

Shao Mingqing laughed and saluted them.

"Thank you sisters for your concern." He said.

Xie Roushu happily accepted the salute, but she didn't forget to say a word.

"The most thankful thing is the eldest lady."

"It's just a pity that the eldest lady can't watch the lantern festival that she is planning with all her heart." Xie Yao said.

"It's pathetic." Xie Roushu nodded.

Shao Mingqing also nodded.

"yes, that's pathetic." He said, looking up at the bright lights and flowers around him.

At night, the ancestral hall was quieter and gloomy, and the lamps hanging under the porch were dim, but this silence did not last long, and was soon broken by the sound of footsteps.

"Second Miss, Second Miss, you can see the lantern festival in the garden from the west." Jiang Ling said happily at the crack in the door.

"Is it good-looking?" Xie Roujia asked hurriedly.

"Beautiful!" Jiang Ling waved her hand and said, regardless of Xie Roujia's inability to see her gesture, "It's like rolling a plate of pearls, it's beautiful." ”

"I don't know where my lamp is hanging." Xie Roujia said with a bit of longing, and asked hurriedly when she thought of something, "Did you send the lantern riddle I wrote?" ”

Jiang Ling nodded and handed it out.

"I don't know if anyone guessed." Xie Roujia said with a smile.

"Shall I sneak in and see?" Jiang Ling said.

Xie Roujia hurriedly called out to her.

"There's no rush for this, just ask later." She said, thinking about it, "Why don't you secretly go and see Sister Konoha Muxiang, they could have gone to see the Lantern Festival, but they were beaten and punished, you go and tell them what the Lantern Festival looks like, so that they will be happy." ”

Jiangling was a little reluctant.

"I still want to tell Miss about you, Miss you can't see it, and you still think about them." She said.

"My sister can't see it." Xie Roujia said, thinking that her sister was locked in the house because of her injury, she couldn't help sighing, "I don't have the heart to look at it." ”

After that, he urged Jiang Ling to go and see Konoha and them, and Jiang Ling answered.

The sound of footsteps dissipated, the ancestral hall was quiet, Xie Roujia slowly walked back to the main hall, looked at the dense tablet under the ever-bright lamp and knelt down.

Jiang Ling said that her mother asked Shao Mingqing to stay.

Shao Mingqing still began to step into their house, and he is getting closer and closer to the things in his dream, so next year, my sister will ......

Xie Roujia shivered and looked at the tablet.

No, no, never.

She knelt down and pressed her head against the cold ground, knocking it again and again.

Ancestors bless, ancestors bless sister, bless sister.

The lanterns of the Xie family were removed, and the lanterns in Pengshui City were also removed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival passed like this, and the holiday of the children of the Xie family was over.

Seeing Xie Rouhui coming over, the girls under the corridor gave salutes one after another.

"The eldest lady is here." They said busily to the inside.

Xie Rouhui walked into the room and saw that Mrs. Xie had already sat down at the dinner table.

"Didn't cry or make a fuss?" She was saying.

Master Xie rolled up his sleeves and nodded.

"These three days are in the ancestral hall, kneeling for half a day, and writing for half a day." He said, "Jiang Ling is in the ancestral hall, although he also talks occasionally, and asks how Huihui's injuries are and how the girls' injuries are, but other than that, he didn't say anything else. ”

Mrs. Xie picked up the chopsticks and flicked the dishes in front of her.

"Mother, I'll just say, Jiajia knows it's wrong." Xie Rouhui hurriedly said, "Let Jiajia come out, she was also frightened." ”

Mrs. Xie pondered for a moment.

"How about letting her move out?" She said.

Master Xie and Xie Rouhui were startled.

"Ayuan! Then how do you let Jiajia gain a foothold at home! Master Xie frowned and said.

It is appropriate to injure my sister and be locked up in the ancestral hall, but if she is kicked out of the house, the meaning is different.

"Mother, don't." Xie Rouhui immediately knelt down and pleaded with tears in her eyes.

"I mean let her stop living with Megumi." Mrs. Xie said, looking at the father and daughter with a little smile, "What do you think, how can I drive her out." ”

Master Xie and Xie Rouhui breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, Jiajia has been with me since she was a child, is she used to living by herself?" Xie Rouhui said with a little worry, "It's better to separate after a while." ”

Mrs. Xie shook her head.

"There are some things she has to get used to, and she can't wait any longer." She said.
