It was already early hour, the sky was still gloomy, and from time to time there were showers of drizzle, and the spring breeze was blowing, and the temperature seemed to be a few degrees colder.

In the uncle's mansion, Mama Ni led four maids with clothes and jewelry to walk in the corridor to Qiruyuan.

After a while, Mama Ni and her party came to the door of the promised courtyard, knocked a few times, and Youlan came out and opened the door.

Mama Ni was led into the house by Youlan, but found that there was no promise, and glanced at the inner room, only to find that the promise was still lying on the bed and sleeping!

Youlan hurriedly walked in front of Xu Promise, shook Xu Promise and shouted, "Girl, girl, Mama Ni is here." ”

"Huh? What's up! Xu Promise rolled over and whispered with his eyes closed.

Ni Mama heard that Xu Yu hadn't gotten up yet, and walked to the side of Xu Xu's bed with a cold face, Youlan felt that Ni Mama was coming over, and flashed to make way for Ni Mama.

"Girl, get up quickly! Madame held a poetry banquet today, and people began to come to the house. Mama Ni bent down and whispered.

"Got it." Xu Promise raised his eyes and glanced at Mama Ni as he spoke, then closed his eyes and turned over.

"Girl, this is the clothes and jewelry that Madame has prepared for you, and please tidy yourself up and go to the front hall." Mama Ni looked at Xu Xu, who was lying on the bed with her eyes closed, pointed to the things that the maid was holding behind her, and said coldly.

"Oops! I know. Xu Promise lifted the quilt with some annoyance, covered himself in the quilt, and shouted loudly.

Mama Ni ignored her when she saw the promise, and she was annoyed, so after giving the promise a blank look, she motioned to the maid to put the things on the table, and then led the people away.

"Are you gone?" Xu Promise was stunned in the quilt for a while, couldn't hear a sound outside, lifted the quilt and asked.

"Oops! I'm scared to death, if she can smell my wine, my aunt will have to tell my father. Xu Yu patted his chest, gasped, and said to Youlan.

"Girl, get up! I've got all the food. Youlan walked up to Promise and said, helped Promise get up, and put on his shoes for Promise.

After promising to put on his shoes, he hurriedly walked to the table and looked at the things sent by Mama Ni, and did not forget to look at them, and found that the clothes and jewelry sent were of the highest quality, Mu Guang nodded approvingly.

"Girl, put it on." Youlan looked at Xu Yu and touched his clothes and proposed.

"Okay, come and help me." Xu promised to smile happily at Youlan.

Youlan walked up to Xu Promise, picked up the clothes on the table and on the plate, one by one, and put them on Promise, and after putting them on, she straightened the placket for Promise.

Xu Yu looked at the pink brocade clothes on his body, and after turning around a few times, he asked Xiang Youlan, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"It's good-looking, the girl looks good in everything." Youlan looked at Xu Promise and said with a smile, then turned around and picked up the jewelry on the table, and said to Xu Promise: "Girl, comb your hair!" You see, these hairpins are very good-looking. ”

Xu Promise smiled and nodded, walked over to the dresser, sat down, picked up the comb himself, and combed himself with a simple hairstyle.

Youlan took the plate where the jewelry was placed, walked up to Xu Promise and asked, "Girl, let's see which one you bring." ”

Xu Yu turned his head to stare at the jewelry Youlan was holding, pointed to a pair of peach blossoms and shook it to Youlan and said, "Just bring this pair!" ”

"Girl, you're going to take this pair?" Youlan asked suspiciously.

"Well, I don't know how long I'm going to stay for a while, and I'll be very tired if I stay too long." Xu Promise picked up the pair of peach blossoms, put them on the table in front of him, and tried to bring them on his head one by one.

"Girl, put on some makeup!" Youlan changed the plate of rouge gouache, walked over to Xu Promise and asked.

Xu Yue looked up at the window, the gloomy sky, thinking that he was outside, it suddenly rained heavily, and the makeup on his face was not spent, thinking about Xu Yue, he shook his head, and said to Youlan: "No makeup, if it rains heavily today, it will take on makeup." ”

After a while, Xu Promise sat in front of the dresser, looked at his combed sideburns with satisfaction, got up and walked to the table and sat down, Youlan handed Promise chopsticks, and then sat down next to Promise.

Xu Yue looked at the dishes on the table, touched Youlan with his arm, turned his head to Youlan and said, "What about the wine I drank last night?" Help me get it out, I'm having a drink. ”

"Girl, you're going to the antechamber in a moment, to meet Madame." Youlan reminded in surprise.

"Oops! I know, I'll rinse my mouth a few more times in a while, go quickly. Xu Promise pushed Youlan and said.

Youlan looked at Xu Promise with a reluctant face, slowly got up, walked to the back room, took out the wine from under the bed, walked to Xu Promise, put it in front of Xu Promise, and sat down with a bitter face.

"Girl, drink slowly, you can't drink too much, I'll go after eating and wash your clothes." Youlan poured good wine for the promise and said solemnly.

Xu Promise nodded seriously, picked up the wine poured by Youlan, took a small sip with a bitter face, put down the wine glass, and began to eat.

After promising to drink the first glass of wine, Youlan, who was just about to pour and finish eating, hurriedly pressed the promise's hand and said: "Girl, you can only drink this cup, not anymore, and the lady will order someone to call after a while." ”

Xu Yu looked up at Youlan, nodded solemnly, watched Youlan reluctantly let go, smiled and poured another glass.

Half a quarter of an hour later, after Youlan finished washing her clothes, she saw Xu Promise lying on the bed and falling asleep, frightened and hurried, walked to Promise and shook Promise.

"What! If my aunt ordered someone to call me. Xu Promise was startled, looked at Youlan and asked.

"No, I saw the girl sleeping in bed, and I thought you were drunk again!" Youlan lowered her head and explained.

"Hey! The sun is out there. Xu Promise looked at the sunlight coming in through the window and said in surprise.

"Well, when I was washing my clothes, I came out." Youlan nodded and said.

"Go and bring me some water." Xu Promise got up and pushed Youlan as he spoke, and the two walked out of the house.

Youlan fetched water, put it on the steps, promised to bend down and pick up the well water and rinse her mouth, washed her face again, took the face towel that Youlan took in the house, and wiped her face.

Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside, and a little maid walked in, and said to Xu Shili, "Girl, Madame has called you to the front hall." ”

"Let's go!" Xu promised to hand the face towel to Youlan and said to the little girl.

Youlan hurriedly put the face towel into the house, and when she came out, she saw Xu Promise waiting for her outside the courtyard gate, hurriedly quickened her pace, and walked over. Seeing Youlan close the courtyard door and follow her, she promised to continue to follow, and the little maid went to the front hall.

After a while, the two of them were led into the hall by the little maid, and the promise who had just stepped into the hall looked at the courtyard specially used for banquets, which was already full of girls and women, and the sound of laughter and slapstick was endless, just like the flowers in the courtyard, all bloomed overnight, attracting a hundred birds to contend.

Xu Yu continued to follow the little maid, and when he entered the main hall, he saw Mrs. Ru sitting at the top, Mrs. Wang sitting next to Mrs. Ru, the three daughters-in-law of Mrs. Wang sitting below, and the beautiful woman who interjected last time sat on the other side.

As soon as Xu Yue walked in, he attracted everyone's Mu Guang, and everyone stopped talking, and the busy maid also stopped what she was doing.

"Wei'er, I've seen my mother, I've seen all the ladies." Following behind Xu Promise, the eldest grandson who walked in said with a dignified manner.

Just as he was about to give a salute, he turned around and saw that the eldest grandson was dressed in goose-yellow clothes, light makeup, and only a pair of golden steps in his hair, walked in front of her, stood beside her, and smiled at her.

"No'er, I've seen Aunt Ru, I've seen all the ladies." Xu Yu smiled back at Changsun Wei, turned his head and said to everyone, thinking that everyone was looking at Changsun Wei just now, and then pursed his mouth.

The woman who walked in behind the two of them, hearing their address to Mrs. Ru, discussed their identities suspiciously.

awoman: "Ah! How do you call Mrs. Guo's aunt? ”

bWoman: "I don't know." ”

cWoman: "Hehe! You don't know! This pink dress is the original daughter of Uncle Guo, so she is called her aunt! ”

bWoman: "Ah! Didn't you say that there was only a girl in Uncle Guo's mansion? ”

Woman: "There was a maiden, and the goose-yellow dress was the one she had given birth to as a concubine before." ”

aWoman: "We don't know, how do you know?" ”

Woman: "I have four maids in my house, who used to belong to my uncle's house, and when they spoke, I listened to a few words. ”

aWoman: "How do I see that her girl is about the same age as the girl she was married to?" ”

Woman C: "No, it seems that the girl in the original match is a little smaller." ”

The woman lowered her voice again and said: "She is the personal maid of the original match, and after the original partner got married, she climbed into Uncle Guo's bed, because she gave birth to a girl, and she was born earlier than the original match, and Uncle Guo never said it outside because of his face." ”

Xu Yu got up and heard someone whispering, and after glancing, he found that the main hall was full of people at this time, the maid was supporting the girl, and the mother-in-law was supporting the woman, standing crowded at the door of the main hall.

Xu Yu looked around and found that Mrs. Su, the two sisters of the Su family and Chen Jing, as well as several girls from the Wang family, were standing on the side, and then walked over and saluted Mrs. Su: "Nuo'er, I have seen my aunt and a few sisters. ”

Mrs. Ru looked at her daughter, looked at everyone's reactions, got up and walked down with a smile, walked to the eldest grandson and took her hand, and was about to pull the hand of the promise, but found that the promise didn't look at her, and walked to Mrs. Su's side.

Mrs. Ru was still smiling and looking at the promise, but she cursed the promise a few times in her heart, and pulled the eldest grandson to walk to the promise, and heard Mrs. Su say to the promise: "Hurry up!" ”

Mrs. Su looked at Mrs. Ru and walked towards her with a smile, and hurriedly smiled: "No'er, get up quickly!" Your mother has come looking for you. ”

"Oops! Sister Su came, but she didn't come to me to say a word. Mrs. Ru walked up to Mrs. Su and said.

"I just came here, and I wanted to talk to my sister! No'er, this girl has come over. Mrs. Su explained with a smile.

Mrs. Ru smiled, looked at the women who were whispering in the main hall, and shouted, "All of you sit, quickly move the stools for the ladies." ”

The maids moved the stools one by one, so everyone sat on both sides, and the whisperers all stopped talking, and quietly watched Mrs. Ru take the hand of the eldest grandson Wei and Xu Yu, and walked to the middle, facing them.
