123 Gathering
It was like flashing with big eyes, and he smiled mischievously: "We picked the peach blossom branches and came back, do you look good?" It was the third sister of the Yang family who picked it up for me, the fourth sister gave me a purse, and the fifth sister gave me a balm made by herself. As he spoke, he ran over and pulled Yang Lan's sleeve with one hand, and dragged a peach blossom branch in the other.
Yang Lan was a little at a loss for a while, she didn't have time to prepare any gifts, and she really couldn't take it out at once, so she was stunned on the spot, her face was a little red, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Rong Yi seemed to see it, and did not help, but persuaded with righteous words: "Sister, don't be rude, let's come in a hurry, your sister Jing'an doesn't know that we are coming, I didn't prepare a gift, don't make trouble!" ”
After speaking, he flew a glance and signaled, I really think about you, help persuade me, don't thank me too much!
Like a flattened mouth with grievances, tears instantly filled his eyes, and his wet eyes looked at Yang Lan with watery eyes, and he didn't speak, he didn't let go, he was so deadlocked.
Yang Lan glared at Rong Yi angrily, are you here to relieve me? It's clearly a fire, okay? It's too lacking in virtue, you wait, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years!
At the moment, he took out a handkerchief in his sleeve and handed it over, embarrassed and honest: "Your brother is really right, I came in a hurry and really didn't prepare a gift, this handkerchief was embroidered by myself, it was the first work I was learning to embroider on both sides, I kept it for myself as a souvenir, if my sister doesn't dislike my embroidery rough, just take it to play!" ”
It was as if he had snatched it all at once, and he held it in his hand and looked at it carefully, this was a very simple handkerchief. It is muslin. It can be clearly seen that it is for hand practice. A corner of the handkerchief is embroidered with a somewhat decadent and dilapidated temple, there is a little monk outside the temple who is drawing water by the well, a pair of goshawks fly in the blue sky, wings spread, head high, it seems to be leading the neck high, the goshawk happens to fly over the temple, the little monk looks up. With the hands folded, the pattern is simple but thought-provoking.
As if there was surprise in his eyes, "Beautiful!" What a meaningful picture, Sister Xie Lu, I like this handkerchief so much, I asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye, I saw the double-sided screen in the Queen Mother's Palace, I am rare enough! I can also have a handkerchief today, and I finally got my wish! ”
Mrs. An Ninghou smiled and teased her daughter, "Your child is really not big or small." How can anyone go up to the pole and ask for a gift! Is! ”
Yang Lan smiled, "Don't mind, madam." I like my sister's temperament very much, but it's a pity that I don't have a sister, otherwise I can live the addiction of being a sister! ”
Everyone immediately laughed, Rong Yi looked at Yang Lan with a smile on his face, his starry eyes flashed with a bright light, and his right hand was twisted around his waist with a jade buckle, and he didn't say a word.
Mama Lin walked in, saluted first, and then said with a straight look: "The old lady asked me to ask, I have to go back early in the afternoon, otherwise it will be too late." ”
After hearing this, Yang Lan saluted Mrs. An Ninghou, and said apologetically: "Madam, please redeem Jing'an's rudeness, my grandmother urged me, we have to rush back to Zhuangzi!" Jing'an retired first! ”
Mrs. An Ninghou nodded with satisfaction, "Good boy, I've delayed you for a long time, you can go!" ”
Yang Lan touched her little face, left the wing room after the ceremony, and went to the front to look for the third sister, because there was a foreign man in the house, the third girl asked Mama Lin, and then took the two younger sisters to find the old lady, and did not come in.
Yang Lan was walking on the road, still wondering what Mrs. An Ninghou meant by coming to her today, could it be just to leak the news to herself? This is also different, but the strange thing is that why does she think that Madame's attitude seems to be very affectionate? Did you miss something?
It's really unruly for Rong Yi to run in today, but why should he be like this? It is said that the people of Anning Houfu are also the daughters of famous families, and they have received a good upbringing and decent rules since they were young, and they will not do these unruly things for no reason.
Fortunately, Mrs. and Wanru are here, and it's not too polite, otherwise I wouldn't be able to speak clearly, it's really strange! Go back and ask Steward Yang, but what news is not available in the palace? Is there something wrong in the palace? Do you want to slowly re-enter the palace?
With a stomach full of questions back to Zhuangzi, and when I arrived at Zhuangzi, it was close to the afternoon, after dinner, the old lady asked Xu's mother to accompany her alone, and the two of them soaked in the hot spring pool, talking about their hearts, and Xu's mother slept with the old lady that night.
Early the next morning, the third girl rushed in, and when she saw that Yang Lan was still sleeping, she couldn't help but go over and open the curtain, pinching her nose, and secretly sneering.
Suddenly pinched her nose and couldn't breathe, Yang Lan opened her eyes in a daze, frowned and complained: "Third sister, why did you come so early!" He yawned as he spoke, obviously not waking up.
"You lazy girl, why are you still sleeping! You forgot that the county lord of Mingyu is coming today! Let's find something to prepare! The three girls giggled and scratched Yang Lan's armpits.
"Huh! Ok ok! Get up! Yang Lan reluctantly got up from the bed.
The third girl smiled proudly, and rushed out of the hall again, looking for the fourth and fifth girls, and tossing them.
After washing, Yang Lan sat in front of the dressing mirror in a daze and took a nap, Bi Qing stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Miss, if you want to see a guest today, what are the bright spots you want to wear?" ”
As he spoke, he raised the two sets of clothes in his hand and showed them to Yang Lan.
Yang Lan glanced at it and pointed to a set of bright red embroidered eight balls of satin round neck placket and tooth white embroidered red plum silk moon skirt, "That's it, the top is covered with Qianxue yarn." ”
"How about adding an extra piece of pink cicada-wing veil?" Bi Qing saw Yang Lan's dispensable appearance, so she decided.
Yang Lan was wearing bright red clothes, covered with a snow veil that was a little hazy, and an extra shawl was added to her wrist, which looked a little more ethereal, and the red color made her look more and more bright and dignified, highlighting the noble bearing, and the soft moonflower skirt was shining with luster when she walked, and the breath of bright youth came to her face.
She raised her hand and stroked the white hosta on her head, and nodded slightly, "Let's go!" ”
Biyun and Biqing followed behind together, walking towards the peony garden, and the old lady seemed to be in very good spirits today. The complexion is also much brighter. There was a relaxed look of relief in the center of his eyebrows.
"Grandmother. You look so good today! Yang Lan saw it when she entered the door, and stepped forward to laugh with the old lady with a smile.
"Huh! You look good today, girls should wear it like this, it's called beautiful and tender! Are you ready for today's guests? The old lady asked with concern.
"It's all ready, it's all prepared by the third sister, the fourth sister and the fifth sister, and the sisters have done a good job, much better than me. I've been compared! Yang Lan deliberately approached the old lady to be coquettish.
The old lady smiled happily and patted her back gently to reassure, "Good boy, grandmother doesn't like you, our Lan'er is the best!" They like to toss and let them get it, let's just be lazy and pick up ready-made! After that, Yang Lan squeezed her eyes.
"Hee-hee! Yes, yes, we don't tell the third sister! Yang Lan covered her mouth and snickered.
It just so happened that at this time, the third girl, the fourth girl, and the fifth girl also came in to say goodbye, and the third girl vaguely seemed to hear herself, and asked curiously, "What are you talking about me?" I hear you! ”
The old lady was happy and didn't speak. Watching his granddaughters fight with a smile, his eyes were full of love.
Yang Lan's neck was stalked. "I don't have anything for you, I'll say that the third sister did a good job of organizing the banquet this time, and grandmother still praised you, what do you think I'm talking about? Hum! The heart of a villain! After speaking, he twisted his neck unhappily and didn't look at her.
The third girl looked at the old lady suspiciously, and the old lady nodded with a smile, but did not speak.
Okay! Mistaken! The third girl leaned over embarrassedly, hugged Yang Lan's waist, and apologized with a smile on her face, "Okay!" It's my sister who misunderstood you! I'm sorry for you! Don't be angry with me, you can hang the oil bottle when you pout, don't pout, it's not good-looking! ”
The third girl hugged and coaxed, and it took a long time for Yang Lan to smile, and it was not good to watch the fourth and fifth girls happy.
Every time the third girl suffers, she doesn't have a long memory, she wants to tease the sixth sister, but she is disgraced if she doesn't return, the third sister is still happy, these two people are really interesting!
The girl made a fuss for a while, and the old lady looked at the girl who was as bright as a flower, and felt as if she was young in her heart.
After a while, Biyun replied, "Old lady, the guests have arrived, and Sister-in-law Zhang has already welcomed everyone into the door!" ”
Yang Lan jumped up with a grunt and shouted, "Why didn't you remind me earlier!" Quick, follow me to greet the guests, it's not good to go late, let Mingyu's girl grab my handle, and laugh at me for a year! As he spoke, he stroked the hosta on his head, stood up and trotted out quickly.
"Slow down, who can't grab you? Don't fall, look at the mess elsewhere! The old lady was in the back.
The third girl waved her hand impatiently, "Zhilu said!" ”
The old lady pouted and muttered, "These children, none of them are stable, and they can make me feel at ease for a long time!" ”
Mother Xu brought her a cup of astragalus wolfberry and red date tea, and praised with a smile: "If you want to say that several girls are good, not to mention that the county lord is full of plans for the sisters, and helps the sisters openly and secretly, that is, the three girls are also sensible and take care of the younger sisters, last night I went to the girl's yard to deliver things, and saw the three girls quietly copying Buddhist scriptures, I asked her that she said to the eldest uncle and second brother to copy, pray for them, why don't they bleed hard for us in front!" What is it if I copy a little Buddhist scripture!
Listen, old lady, the child is sensible! What could be better than that? Not only the three girls are copying, but the four girls and the five girls and the county lord have not communicated with anyone, but they are all secretly copying Buddhist scriptures quietly in the house, I am really happy in my heart! Sisters know how to help each other and be considerate, what a good thing! The fifth girl said that if I copy some Buddhist scriptures, my sister can write less, and I see that the sixth sister copies it every day! It's a stack of paper, and my sisters help me a lot on weekdays, and I can do a limited amount of work, but I can still do a little bit.
Old lady, if you want me to say, this trip to Zhuangzi is the right one, you see that your face is much better than when you came, your face is full of red light, you can eat more than at home, there is still to play every day, and there are places to go around, how good it is! Don't you just ask for peace and joy in your life! Mother Xu couldn't help choking up when she said that she was the worst, their master and servant have suffered all their lives! It's finally a good day today, how wonderful!
The old lady's expression is gentle, she sighs deeply, with a peaceful and quiet smile in her eyes, without the sharpness and meanness of the past, now she looks more and more loving and gentle, approachable, people can't help but feel close, although a little soft and kind, inevitably a little soft, but she is a lovely and kind old lady, who can give her grievances!
"What you said is very true, these children are all good, and Mama teaches them well! I've figured it out, the master is right! Fate is extinguished, flowers bloom and disappear, our fate is over, it's time to let go, the debt of the previous life has been paid, the love of this life has been repaid, I come cleanly, leave without regrets, I can finally live for myself for a few days! ”
Mother Xu blinked, relieved and a little embarrassed in her heart, more did cry with joy, the room was silent for a while, and the rest was the memories and perceptions of life! (To be continued......)
