The warm pavilion of the Song Mansion is a high pavilion, which leads to the earth dragon, and the windows are built on all sides, and they are inlaid with glazed glass.

At this time, in the warm pavilion, there is little tea fragrance, delicate snacks are placed on the table, and the pestles are covered with thick seat cushions, and the sitting is soft and warm.

Under the pavilion, a small piece of plum is planted, the plum branches are stained with snow, the plum blossoms bloom proudly on the branches, and the cold plum fragrance hits the tip of the nose.

In the little plum forest, Su Xiao and Song Ying each held a small flower basket and picked up petals under the tree.

Su Liu was happy to see that Su Xiao had her best friend and friend, although Song Ying was delicate and brutal, she was pure and kind-hearted, and Su Xiao was good friends with her, both good and bad. "Ying'er, come up and have a hot tea, it's freezing carefully." Cao Qing'er leaned out half of her body and shouted.

Su Liu glanced at her, and only felt that this Cao Qing'er was too deliberate, deliberately pleasing Song Ying, but Song Ying ignored her, which was a little interesting. "I'm not cold." Song Ying replied impatiently, and even pulled Su to trot away. "She's your cousin, don't you like her?" Su Xiao picked up the tender plum petals that fell on the snow and put them in the bamboo basket, and said, "I think she treats you very well." "Cut!" Song Ying snorted lightly and said, "She flattered me just to marry my second brother." "Huh?" Su Xiao looked at her, married to Song Sanye?

(Note: Song Fei ranks third in the Hou Mansion, but in Song Ying's heart, he is the second brother) "Otherwise, when I see my second brother, I can't wait to stick to my second brother." Song Ying pouted and said, "I'm used to pretending, if my mother didn't say that she was pitiful, I wouldn't want to be good with her." ”

Su Xiao glanced at her, frowned, and said, "Then Mrs. Song wants to beg her to be the daughter-in-law of Song Sanye?" "I don't know, and my mother didn't tell me, hey, what are you asking for?" Do you want to be my second sister-in-law too? Song Ying stared at her. Phew! Su Xiao snorted twice and said, "How is this possible?" "Yo, my second brother is not worthy of you anymore?" Song Ying puffed out her cheeks, and her eyes were round. "It's that I'm not worthy of him, right?" Su Xiao saw that she was coming to Miss Temper, rolled her eyes, and said, "I think Song Sanye and Sister Mingzhu are in love." "The merchant girl?" Song Ying glanced back at the pavilion and said, "Beauty is beauty, and it is still pleasing to the eye, but it's a pity that her background is a little worse." ”

Su Xiao's face darkened, and he said, "What's wrong with the merchant girl?" Sister Mingzhu is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also knowledgeable, which is much better than some people, at least better than your cousin. You look down on her as a merchant's daughter, then I grew up in the country, and it's even more vulgar. ”

Seeing that Su was angry, Song Ying pursed her lips and said, "I didn't say anything about her." "In short, I think Song Sanye and Sister Mingzhu are a pair of immortals made in heaven." Su Xiao dropped a sentence and ran away. "Hey, what are you running, stand for me." Song Ying saw Su Xiaoer running away without saying a word, so angry that she threw the basket, stomped her feet, and saw that Su Xiaoer didn't hear it, bit her lip, and chased after her.

The two little maids who were waiting on the side glanced at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

In the warm pavilion, Su Liu and the three of them talked with each other, Cao Qing'er intentionally or unintentionally revealed that she and Song Fei were close, watching Cao Mingzhu's gorgeous face become whiter and whiter, and her eyes were more proud. "Don't look at my second cousin so mild-mannered, in fact, he was the most mischievous when he was a child, I remember one time, he put a worm on my shoulder, and I was so scared that I cried, and I tried my best to coax me well." "Another time, we played hide and seek, and ended up hiding in the dark room and fell asleep, it was autumn at that time, and the weather was very cold, and I almost didn't frighten my cousin, my body is thin, and it was the problem that fell at that time."

Bala Bala Bala.

Su Liu yawned boredly, and said to Cao Mingzhu: "Sister, I think this plum blossoms are very good, why don't we go down and fold two of them and send them to Mrs. Song?" ”

Cao Mingzhu was stunned: "Isn't this okay?" But seeing Su Liu winking at her, he said clearly: "This warm pavilion is boring after sitting for a long time, and it's not bad to go down for a walk." ”

Cao Qing'er was talking energetically, but unexpectedly, Su Liu broke up like this, so she also stood up and said, "I'll accompany my two younger sisters." "Miss Cao, your body is thin, it's better not to get cold, we'll come back when we break it." Su Liu hurriedly stopped, and then took Cao Mingzhu's hand and walked down quickly.

Cao Qing'er saw that the two of them really left her behind, and couldn't help biting her lip.

Under the plum, Cao Mingzhu pulled down a plum, leaned up, and sniffed the cold plum fragrance. "I have no intention of fighting for spring, I am jealous of the group, and I am scattered into mud and dust, only the fragrance is the same." Su Liu twisted a plum branch and chanted a plum song, and said, "Sister, you are upset. ”

Cao Mingzhu turned around and showed a wry smile: "You also saw it, Mrs. Song, she doesn't particularly like me, that Qing'er girl, she has been close to him since she was a child, I ...... it" "Song Fei, this person, is not so bad that someone who is obviously happy will push you to his mother." I think Na Qing'er is just adding to your blockage, if you are serious, you will lose. Su Liu said lightly.

What does Cao Qing'er mean when she says those words, no one is a fool, she knows this when she hears it, it is nothing more than telling Cao Mingzhu that she and Song Fei are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, and both families have the intention of getting married.

Cao Mingzhu pursed her lips and said, "But you also saw it, Mrs. Song, she ......" "I still say the same thing, everything depends on Song Fei." Su Liu held her hand and said, "And I don't think the Song family is necessarily satisfied with Cao Qing'er." "How?" "Other people don't know, she knows Song Ying's reaction alone, she doesn't like Cao Qing'er." Su Liu snorted, and did not say that when Cao Mingzhu first came out, when Cao Mingzhu regarded himself as the master, the disdain flashed in Gao's eyes.

Cao Mingzhu listened, and her gray eyes finally regained some of their brilliance. "You're right, self-confidence is the most beautiful, be right, don't care too much about Mrs. Song will always see your goodness." Su Liu said with a smile.

Cao Mingzhu nodded and took a deep breath, she should believe in Song Fei, she has to work hard herself.

It didn't take long to visit the garden, so Mrs. Song sent someone to invite a few people back to eat, and it was not until the next morning that Su Liu and them were sent away.

Mrs. Song was crooked on the couch, with a flowery blanket around her waist, and a little maid at her feet held a beauty mallet to help her beat her legs, half-closed her eyes, and she didn't know whether she was really sleeping or fake sleeping.

The sound of footsteps came, and she opened her eyes slightly, but it was Gao who came in, and Mrs. Song beckoned her with a smile. "All gone?" "Hmm." Gao took the little girl's beauty mallet and helped Gao beat his legs. "Ancestor, why do you want to do this? Rest, you've worked hard all day, don't get tired. Mrs. Song glanced at Mama Tang on the side, who immediately took over Gao's beauty gavel.

Gao didn't squirm, she also felt a little tired, so she sat aside. "What do you think?"

Gao blinked, and knew that Mrs. Song was asking Su Liu. "I don't look at Miss Su like a child in the countryside, this kind of bearing is more than the concubines of our family. That Su Xiao fell into the eyes of our Ying'er, I heard that the two had a little dispute in the plum blossom forest, and Ying'er gave in. Gao said with a smile. And what's going on? Mrs. Song was interested, and her body lifted slightly.

Gao nodded, and said the matter reported by the maid succinctly, Mrs. Song smiled: "Then these two girls are really in love, Ying'er's temperament, and someone really wants to treat her, this is thirteen, and it is not possible to be ignorant." "Hengzhu has a mother and a few brothers to support her." Gao pursed his lips and smiled.

Mrs. Song also showed a smile and said: "This woman, that is, she is the most comfortable when she is a girl, and it is different when she marries, she is the governor, and I am more relieved, that Su Xiao is also an age, so she is more sensible." "Mother, this can't be compared at all, Su Xiao and they grew up in bitter water, and our Ying'er grew up in a honeypot, and they all say that the children of poor families are in charge early, and they can't compare." Gao is obviously unhappy with his sister-in-law. "Don't get used to her, you still have to learn what you should learn." Mrs. Song patted her hand and asked, "What about Cao Mingzhu?" ”

Gao glanced at Mrs. Song and said, "Speaking of which, Miss Cao is also bad at her body, although this behavior and etiquette cannot be compared with our family, it is not bad." Doesn't it mean that she is a talented girl, I heard that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are good. "That's just for fun, but it's a pity that there is no elder in the family to teach." Mrs. Song touched her fingertips and said, "Go and bring the embroidery screen sent by Miss Cao to me to take a look." ”

Mama Tang naturally knew that she was calling her, so she stopped and went to get it, and Gao said: "Mother, I heard that this huge house of the Cao family is also the home of Miss Cao." "Oh?" Mrs. Song raised her eyebrows and said, "She still has this ability?" "No, Cuihuan and the girls heard from talking to those maids, saying that Miss Cao started to run the house at the age of ten, which is really amazing!"

Mrs. Song sighed, was silent for a moment, and said, "It is said that a motherless child is a grass, and this is also forced out, and it is difficult for her." ”

Mama Tang quickly brought the embroidery sent by Cao Mingzhu, asked the little maid to help open it, and exclaimed: "Ah, it's a double-sided embroidery." ”

Mrs. Song sat up straight, took it and looked at it repeatedly, nodding while watching: "A good embroidery job can be embroidered on both sides." ”

Gao Shi also sighed, and said: "Mother, this embroidery work is really good, look at this butterfly, it is the same as the real one, and it is placed in the room, just like looking at the flowers in the garden." ”

Mrs. Song also smiled and nodded, Cao Mingzhu sent a hundred flowers double embroidered screen, the color matching is uniform and realistic, and the butterflies flying on the flowers are all the same as the real thing, lifelike. "Go, take it to the Splendid Workshop and inlay it." Mrs. Song commanded.

Gao Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in his heart, Second Uncle, I can help you so much, it depends on you whether you succeed or not.
