The sixteenth day of the first month

The sun shines on the earth, sparkling and shining. The breeze caresses the earth, and the smoke curls up.

In Tongren Alley, three carriages are lined up head to tail, outside a pair of black ink wooden doors, and the wooden doors are open from the inside to the inside.

After a while, a group of maids, maids, and mothers-in-law swam out of the door, and Mrs. Su, who was walking in the middle, walked out wearing a green plum jacket, a green pomegranate skirt, and green silk embroidered shoes.

"Mama Wang, have you called your cousin?" Mrs. Su asked Mama Wang beside her.

"Madam, do you want to take her with you when you visit relatives today?" Mama Wang asked in some surprise.

"Lan'er, you go to Qingfeng Pavilion and invite your cousin." Mrs. Su turned around and said calmly to Lan'er, who was following her, and then changed her words and said to Mama Wang: "Su Lang, when I went to the morning court, I said that I would take her with me, for fear that she would be bored at home alone." ”

As soon as Mrs. Su's words fell, she heard Su Qi behind her ask, "Mother, do you really want to take her today?" ”

Mrs. Su stood at the door, turned to look at Su Qi who came to her side, and said gently: "Your father asked me to take her, and a woman must marry with her husband, you know!" And we're probably going to have to spend a day there, and it's not appropriate to leave her at home. ”

"Oh!" Suki bowed her head in response, thinking with some worry what if she knew what we were doing.

Mrs. Su saw that Su Qi was a little lost, so she said again: "What about women! In this life, I will be my father at home, and I will be my husband after I get married. And ah! Marriage of this woman is like a second reincarnation, the mother will choose a good son-in-law to marry you, and you will never be wronged in this life. As he spoke, he raised his hand and gently touched Suki's head.

"Mother has worked hard." Su Rou stood aside, and said with a little teary in her eyes.

"Oops! You child, your mother did everything you should do, who let you be my children! Hehe! Mrs. Su said with a smile, and as soon as she finished speaking, she saw Lan'er walking on the side.

"Madam, my cousin is here." Lan'er walked up to Mrs. Su and said.

Mrs. Su turned around and saw Lan'er followed by the two masters and servants of the promise, looking at the promise today, it seemed that the promise was carefully dressed today, with her hair and temples neat, two tasseled silver hairpins inserted on it, her face was lightly made up with peach blossoms, and she was wearing a red brocade flower jacket with a white brocade pomegranate skirt, and a white velvet cloak behind her.

"Auntie, Nuo'er is late."

"Oh! It's okay, it's not too early, let's go! Mrs. Su heard the words of the promise and hurriedly responded.

Xu Promise nodded, followed Su Rou and Su Qi on the horse, and sat in the carriage, Youlan said to Xu Promise who was sitting: "Girl, what you are wearing today is all worn by the second girl, madam, I saw you just now, and I was shocked by your clothes." Although I haven't seen the second girl wear it, I think the second girl is definitely not as beautiful as the girl wears. ”

"Shhh, be quiet, although there are only two of us in this car, but you have to be careful, don't be listened to by someone with a heart, and cause trouble." Promise said persuasively.

"Yes, girl." Youlan nodded obediently in response and sat quietly.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the carriage stood still, and Youlan got out of the carriage first, stood beside the carriage, and raised his hand to hold the promise of coming out. After promising to get out of the carriage, she helped untie the cloak and put it back into the carriage.

"Girl, let's go!" Youlan reminded.

Xu Yu nodded, walked to Mrs. Su and stood behind, watched Mrs. Su tidy up, took Su Ningyu from the nurse, and tidied up his clothes.

The maid who came out of Wang's house to greet people respectfully walked to Mrs. Su's side and invited Mrs. Su into the house. Mrs. Su hugged Su Ningyu, Su Rou and Su Qi followed behind her, and promised to follow into the Wang family in the end.

After a while, Xu Yu followed Mrs. Su and was led to Mrs. Wang's courtyard.

"Old lady, the eldest girl is back." The little maid who led the way lifted the curtain and said inside.

"Quick, come in, oops! My little grandson is freezing! Before he entered the house, he heard Mrs. Wang make a fuss.

Xu Yu followed Su Qi into the house, but he didn't dare to look up, standing behind Su Qi to give a salute, and first heard Mrs. Su say: "Mother is fine, the three sisters-in-law are fine, and my sister is well." ”

Then I heard the two sisters Su Rou call together: "Granddaughter, please grandmother Wan'an." Niece, please aunt and uncle, please be safe. ”

"Hey! Get up! Hurry up! Come here, let me see, my little good grandson, oh! Old Madam Wang said softly.

"Hurry up!" Several elders echoed.

Xu Yu got up in response, raised his eyes and saw Mrs. Wang teasing Su Ningyu with a smile, Xu Yu turned his head to look to the right, but he didn't see the girls of the Wang family.

At this time, I heard the eldest lady say: "A few of them have gone to the plum garden, you should also go over!" ”

"Yes, thank you, auntie. Grandmother, let's go down first. ”

"Yes! Go for it! The eldest lady smiled and nodded, and the old lady Wang said with a smile.

After the two sisters Su Rou finished speaking, they heard that Mrs. Wang agreed, so they retreated lightly, promised to follow behind them, and retreated silently.

After a while, Xu Yu and Su Rou sisters entered the Mei Courtyard, and saw that they were all sitting in the pavilion, talking about something, and they both leaned back and laughed.

"Oops! Don't laugh, don't laugh, Sister Su is here. Wang Ling'er was sitting in the pavilion, facing the gate of the courtyard, and when she looked up and saw the three of them walking over, she hurriedly stopped laughing and said to a few people beside her.

"Huh! Sister Sue, come on. Wang Yi'er turned around and greeted Su Rou affectionately and said.

"Sisters, what do you say? I laughed so happily, and I said that my sister was also happy. Su Rou walked over and said jokingly.

"Promise to come here, sit here!" Chen Jing got up to meet the promise and pulled her to sit down beside her.

"Oops! It's not Ling'er's nonsense. Wang Yi'er pulled Su Rou to sit down, glanced at Wang Ling'er, and said angrily.

"Sister, this is funny and complaining! Ha ha! Su Qi smiled and walked over to Wang Ling'er and sat down and said.

"Yes! Others get cheap and sell well! Wang Ling'er glanced at Wang Yi'er and said aggrievedly.

"Look at you, but I said a word about you, and I was wronged." Wang Yi'er said with a smile Wang Ling'er.

Xu Yu sat in the pavilion, listened to them laughing, and smiled, feeling a little bored, remembering that he hadn't carefully looked at the plum blossoms, so he turned his head to look at the plum blossom forest outside the pavilion.

Plum blossoms flutter all over the ground, and green buds sprout branches.

"What are you looking at?" Chen Jing looked at Xu Yue and looked back, she also turned her head to look, didn't find anything, and asked curiously.

"Oh! I look at the plum blossoms outside the pavilion, they are all falling, hey! Somewhat bleak. Xu Promise looked back and smiled and explained.

"Yes! It's all falling, and the weather is slowly getting warmer. Chen Jing looked at the plum blossoms outside the pavilion and said with some joy.

"This plum blossom, the flowers have been blooming and falling like this, the eldest grandson girl is really sentimental!" Wang Ling'er continued their words and said.

Wang Ling'er lowered her head when she saw Xu Promise, glanced at her with a cold snort, and said, "Also, the eldest grandson girl has been taught by Mr. Zhuo, but she is different from us!" ”

"Sister, okay, she didn't say anything when she promised." Chen Jing got up and interrupted Wang Ling'er and said.

"Humph! Now pretend to be a good person, you ......"

"Sister, what are you talking about!" Before Wang Ling'er finished speaking, Chen Jing hurriedly interrupted.

"What's wrong with you, you're arguing while you're talking." Wang Yi'er got up, pulled Chen Jing, and said about the two of them with a smile.

"That's it, we're all sisters, don't take it seriously when we talk and laugh!" Wang Zhi'er got up and said comforting them.

"Sister, it's my sister I'm not sensible, and I hope my sister will forgive." After Chen Jing calmed down, she hurriedly walked to Wang Ling'er's side and apologized with tears in her eyes.

"Chen Jing, you ......" promised to be at a loss by Chen Jing's actions, and the words came to his lips and held back, saying in his heart What's wrong with her, she and Wang Ling'er used to be needle-to-needle with Mai Mang, but now what's wrong, sensible, and know that sisterhood is deep.

"Ling'er, Sister Chen has apologized, don't be angry." Wang Yi'er shook Wang Ling'er and begged pitifully.

"Poof, I'm just joking around with you, haha! I'm all scared! Wang Linger couldn't hold back her laughter and explained.

"Good! You bad girl. Wang Yi'er said angrily, raising her hand to hit Wang Ling'er, Wang Ling'er quickly retreated from her and ran out quickly.

"Okay, your sister Ling'er has always been like this, don't take it to heart." Wang Zhi'er walked up to Chen Jing and comforted.

Xu Yue looked at Chen Jing and smiled bitterly, walked up to her, pulled her to sit down, and comforted: "Why are you so afraid of her!" Did she hold on to you? ”

"No, no, what do I do!" Chen Jing hurriedly replied.

"That's fine, I'm afraid of what she will do, if she can play together, just stay together, if she can't, just stay away." Promise patted her hand, she said.

"Eun!" Chen Jing pursed her lips and smiled, and responded.

"Haha! Come and hit me! Why are you so stupid! ”

When Xu Yu looked up, he saw Wang Ling'er and Wang Yi'er chasing and fighting in the plum forest. Su Rou and the others stood in the pavilion and looked at the two of them with a smile.

After a while, from the courtyard gate, two little maids came over, carrying food boxes, walked into the pavilion slowly, and saluted to several girls: "Girl, the old lady ordered the slave maid to send some hot water snacks, and said that the girls should not freeze, and go back to the house after a long time!" ”

They put the food box aside, and slowly brought out the refreshments in the food box the same way, and placed them on the stone table in the middle of the pavilion.

They were followed by a small servant, wrapped their hands in cotton cloth, and holding a charcoal brazier in their hands, which was gently placed in the pavilion.
