The third day of the fourth month

The sun had risen to the horizon early, radiating a warm glow. The spring breeze blows out the tender green branches of the trees; The grass was blown green all over the ground; Blows out a colorful world.

In the courtyard of the Su family, the cooking smoke has long stopped, and the maids and mothers-in-law have begun to get busy, cleaning the room and washing clothes.

On the second floor of Qingfeng Pavilion, Youlan looked at the dishes on the table, and then looked at the promise who was lying on the bed and fell asleep, and sat on the stool helplessly.

"Oops! The cousin didn't get up again? When has this been? ”

Youlan turned around when she heard the sound, and looked at Mama Qiu walking out of the staircase and screen, and asked helplessly.

Youlan nodded, and then heard Mama Qiu say angrily: "No, I can't let my cousin be like this." Since I came back last month, I have been drinking every day, sleeping after drinking, and not even eating. It's been more than a month, and I haven't been out of Qingfeng Pavilion. ”

Mama Qiu walked to the side of the bed as she spoke, shook her promise and shouted: "Girl, it's time to get up, it's over, Mama Ji sat on the four happy balls today, you get up and taste it." ”

Youlan saw that Mama Qiu couldn't wake up and promised, and also helped to call: "Girl, girl, Madame asked you to go and ask for peace." ”

Xu Promise opened his eyes, glanced at Youlan with squinted eyes, and asked in disbelief: "It's really fake, didn't I ask you to tell your aunt that I was infected with the cold?" ”

"Oops! Girl, you asked the old slave to say this a month ago. Mama Qiu hurriedly explained.

"Really? I remember, don't you? Xu Promise lowered his head in confusion and pondered, and said.

"Oops! Girl, get up! You haven't been to greet your wife for more than a month. Mama Qiu said with a promise.

"Got it, got it, I can't go!" As he spoke, he lifted the quilt covering his body and stood up slowly.

"Girl, what kind of dress do you want to wear today?" Youlan saw that Xu Promise got out of bed and asked happily.

"Find any of them!" Promise replied casually.

Youlan answered, and in the closet, she took out a pale pink embroidered brocade robe, walked to Xu Promise, and put it on her body for Promise.

The promise of getting dressed turned around, and said with some disgust: "Why did you get me this big-sleeved shirt, this dress is a bit heavy and inconvenient." ”

"Girl, this is just spring, and everyone likes to wear this." Youlan helped stroke her clothes again and explained.

"Really? This is not as good as a small jacket and skirt in winter, and it is not as light and large-sleeved as a shirt in summer. Xu Promise looked down at his clothes and argued.

After the promise was finished, he didn't hear Youlan's voice, looked up at Youlan, and found that Youlan was bowing her head in frustration.

Xu Promise hurriedly comforted: "Oops! I'm talking to you about it, I love wearing this. Hey! ”

After Xu Yue saw Youlan laughing, he walked to the dresser, washed his face, and said to Mama Qiu: "Mama, you don't need to wear your sideburns today, just put it on." ”

"Girl, isn't there something wrong with this!." Mama Qiu responded with a comb.

"It's okay, if others ask, they will say that I have a headache and that I am not well." Xu Yu looked at Mama Qiu in the mirror and said casually.

"Yes, girl." Mama Qiu answered, and her hands had already begun to comb her hair for the promise.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Xu Yu walked out of Qingfeng Pavilion in a pink coat with the support of Youlan, and was slightly pale because his face was not covered with makeup.

But after a while, the two masters and servants came to Mrs. Su's courtyard, and after the maid outside the door gave a respect, Xu Yue led Youlan in.

Xu Promise walked into the house and saw that Mrs. Su was teasing her younger son. Su Ningyu's laughing voice was like a silver bell, and the corners of Xu Nuo's mouth involuntarily curled.

"Auntie, Nuo'er greets Auntie." Promise said with a smile and a salute.

"Hey! Hurry up, hurry up, you can be a coincidence today, your sisters are going to Qujiangchi to play today, I see that your body is also well, why don't you follow! Mrs. Su said with a smile.

"Auntie, I..." promised to whisper, feeling someone pushing her behind her, she turned her head to look at Youlan, looking at Youlan's expectant eyes.

Xu Yu stood up and bowed, and continued: "Auntie, I will go back and pack up, and I will come to meet the two sisters. ”

Xu Yue looked at Mrs. Su and nodded to her, led Youlan out of the house, and came to Mrs. Su's courtyard.

Xu Promise stopped, looked back at Youlan and asked, "You pushed me just now, don't you, you also want to go out to play?" ”

"It's not a girl, I see that Mrs. Su has said it, and you haven't been out for a long time, so I want you to answer Mrs. Su."

Xu Yu glanced at it helplessly, lowered his head again, and turned around and walked towards Qingfeng Pavilion.

Xu Yu came to the door of Qingfeng Pavilion, pushed open the door of the house, and shouted upstairs: "Mama, you help me go to the kitchen to get some pastries, and help me get a pot of wine." ”

Mama Qiu was cleaning the room upstairs, and when she heard the voice of promise, she hurriedly walked down and asked in surprise, "Girl, do you want to drink today?" ”

"No, the two sisters are going to play, and my aunt asked me to go with them, and I am afraid that I will starve myself." Xu Hehe replied with a smile.

"Yes, the old slave will go." Mama Qiu put down the feather duster in her hand, turned around and left.

Xu Yu looked at Mama Qiu who walked out of the door, and said with some anxiety: "Mama, don't forget to help me get the pot of wine, if you don't help me get it, I will take it myself like last time, it's a big deal to be told by the people for a few days." ”

Xu Yue looked at Mama Qiu and sighed at her, smiled bitterly, turned around and walked to the small couch and sat down.

After a while, Mama Qiu returned to Qingfeng Pavilion with a food box, promised to open the food box and looked at it, smiled at Mama Qiu with satisfaction, and ordered Youlan to carry the food box, and the master and servant hurried to meet the Su family sisters.

When the three sisters came to the gate of the house, Suki disliked the smell of alcohol on Xu Yue, so she called another carriage and let Xu Xu sit alone, and Xu Xu got into a carriage without care.

It took about a quarter of an hour for the carriage to slow down, and in a few moments it stopped.

After the coachman called, he promised to order Youlan to carry the food box, and the master and servant slowly got out of the carriage.

Xu Promise, who was standing by the carriage, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and there was still some cool air, and muttered in his mouth: "It's better to be outside!" ”

Youlan put the food box on the ground, held the hat in her hand and said to the promise: "Girl, bring the hat on!" ”

Xu Yue glanced back at Youlan, and then looked at the two sisters of the Su family who were wearing hats in front of them, and said with some annoyance: "No." ”

"Girl, this, this is not going to work." Youlan hurriedly caught up with the promise who left.

"You listen to me! Listen to them! Xu Yue glanced back at Youlan and asked casually.

Youlan lowered her head and whispered back, "Slave, listen to the girl." ”

"That's it, go get the food box, let's go." Xu Promise looked at Youlan and said with a smile.

Youlan responded, turned around and carried the food box, and hurriedly caught up, following the promise behind the two sisters of the Su family, and quietly followed behind the promise.

But after a while, the three sisters came to the pool, promised to look at the Qujiang Pond, which was about the same size as the lake, and muttered: "You are obviously a lake, but you take the name of Jiangchi, you can bend and stretch!" ”

"Sister, hurry up, you see that the pavilion is almost occupied." Su Qi pulled Su Rou and said.

Hearing this, Xu Yu also followed quickly, looking at the several pavilions in front of him, there were several girls sitting in them.

Xu Yu didn't walk a few steps behind the Su family sisters, and when he saw them coming in front of them, Wang Zhi'er's maid gave Su Rou a salute, pointed to the pavilion in front of her, said a few words, and then led the three of them to look ahead.

Xu Yu looked at the Qujiang Pond, which was full of pavilions, and the maid led them through a pavilion, and before they reached the second pavilion, they heard the laughter of the sisters of the Wang family.

"Sister, you're here, we've been waiting for a long time." Wang Zhi'er came out of the pavilion and said.

Standing behind them, Xu Yue saw Su Qi look back at her, Xu Yue smiled awkwardly, and said, "It's all mine, I'm late today, and I hope that a few sisters and sisters will forgive." ”

"Oops! Say anything unforgiving, come in! Wang Zhi'er said to Xu Promise with a smile, and pulled Su Rou into the pavilion.

"Promise, didn't you hear that you were going home? Why do you have time today? Chen Jing, who was sitting in the pavilion, got up and said in response to the promise.

"I've been in poor health these days, and I'm still recuperating at my uncle's house!" Xu Promise said with a smile.

"Huh! I really dare to say that we didn't see each other that day, Aunt Su took you to Uncle Guo's mansion. Wang Ling'er lowered her head and twisted her embroidered handkerchief and said in a low voice.

After Wang Ling'er finished speaking, there was no sound in the pavilion in an instant, and everyone glanced at Wang Ling'er and then looked at the promise.

Just when everyone didn't know what to say, they heard Wang Yi'er pull Su Rou and say, "Sister, I see that you brought two food boxes, I don't know what delicious food my sister brought." ”

"Oh! If my sister hadn't asked, I would have forgotten. Su Rou turned around and took the food box from the maid's hand, put it on the table in the middle of the pavilion, opened the food box and said, "It's some pastries made in the kitchen this morning, I want to bring them to the sisters to taste." ”

Chen Jing looked at the food box in Su Rou's hand as everyone looked at it, she smiled and asked Xu Promise, "Xu Promise, that food box is what you brought!" ”

"Bring it, I'll see what you've brought." Chen Jing nodded at the promise, and said with a smile.

promised to see Youlan put the food box on the stone table, and hurriedly said, "I didn't bring anything, it's similar to my cousin's." ”

As she spoke, everyone looked at her with a look of contempt for her, and she took a deep breath helplessly, turned to look at Youlan, and raised her head slightly.

Youlan saw Xu Promise and raised her head, took a few steps forward with the food box, and gently placed the food box on the stone table.

Everyone still surrounded Su Rou and asked Su Rou for pastries, but Chen Jing was the only one waiting for Youlan to open the food box.
