Chen Yun was noncommittal and followed them out of the verandah. Passing through the courtyard gate, there is an east-west corridor about five feet wide. Walk along the west to the end of the Yongdao, and it is a north-south Yongdao again. There is a four-corner pavilion on the east side of the road, dozens of hydrangeas are planted around the pavilion, all of them are wrapped in silver, and the real works cannot be seen; To the west is a sea of plums. At this time, red plum and white snow, the glass world.

Shen Fu saw that the plum blossoms were flourishing, and Ling Han was alone, so he couldn't help liking it in his heart, and climbed a few branches to play, and the rest of the people also imitated it.

Walking and playing like this, I passed through two moon gates, and finally saw a small courtyard.

Everyone laughed and leaned over, and as soon as their front feet crossed the threshold, they found that most of the snow in the courtyard had been swept away, and there were a few little girls playing around the snowdrifts.

Seeing that people were coming, the little girl threw away the snow ball that had just been kneaded in her hand. Those who have eyes hurriedly run in to pass through; The one who had no eyes was still standing in place.

In the house, Shen Xueqing was sitting under the window and meditating, when she suddenly heard that the girl had come back to the sisters in a group, she couldn't help but rejoice in her heart, and stood up from the chaise longituna, and then ordered Fu Huan: "Please come in!" While smiling again, he instructed Furong and Furui: "You two go and bring the begonia cake and plum blossom cake, and prepare a few bowls of milk tea!" ”

Hibiscus, Hibiscus, and Fuhuan took the order and left.

When there was no one in front of her, Shen Xueqing suddenly found that it was boring to sit alone on the couch, so she spread her vision and carefully looked at her boudoir.

As far as the eye can see, there are all familiar furnishings, only the red wedding dress neatly stacked on the red carved lacquered kang table is more dazzling.

"It smells so good! It's vaguely the fragrance of plum blossoms! ”

Shen Xueqing came to her senses, and when she saw Shen Fu walking in, she got down from the beauty couch with a smile, and while greeting everyone, she complained at the same time: "A few of you are here when you come, why bother to bring him again, it has defiled our fat powder pile!" ”

When everyone heard this, they all took out silk handkerchiefs to cover their mouths and smiled, but Shen Fu couldn't wipe it off his face, walked to Shen Xueqing's side with a drooping face, and said aggrievedly: "Sister Qing used to be so approachable, but now she has learned to be bitter and mean, and she said such hurtful words!" ”

Shen Xueqing bowed slightly, while leading others into the seat, she said to Shen Fu: "Yes, this tree is afraid of hurting its skin, and people are afraid of being sad, now, my words are mean and hurt your heart, you had better stay away from me, and don't come to Qiwu Courtyard in the future, I, get rid of your troubles, and be happy and quiet!" ”

As soon as Shen Xueqing finished speaking, she immediately spun lightly like a butterfly, and sat down next to the Huanghuali carved Eight Immortals table.

Shen Fu saw that she gave an eviction order, and made up his mind not to let her succeed, but when he looked back, the sisters in the family not only ignored him, but also didn't even leave him a seat, so he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, walked a few steps with his cheeks puffed, and sat on the painted and gold-painted flower chaise longue under the window in a daze.

Chen Yun took pity on Shen Fu's encounter, and said while sending a sympathetic look: "Let's just leave him over there, maybe it's not big, right?" ”

Shen Xueru's ears were pointed, first her eyes were sharp, and then she stared straight at Chen Yun, who was full of anxiety, and sneered: "Sister Yun, this is reluctant!" ”

Chen Yun's face turned red with shame, and he hurriedly turned away from the noodles and ignored everyone.

Shen Xueqing was used to seeing the world, although she felt funny, but she only laughed at it, but Shen Xueru didn't give up, and tried to laugh at Chen Yun.

Shen Xueqing really couldn't look past it, so she pointed at Shen Xueru and said: "You, you, you have sharp teeth and sharp mouths, sharp mouths and thin tongues, I don't know who will be able to subdue you in the future?" ”

Shen Xueru was still young, and she had never dared to think about it before, but now after listening to her cousin's words, although she felt a little ashamed, that bit of shame was like the thin ice in the sunny day, as long as she poked it gently, the ice melted immediately.

"I haven't thought about this, but I've read a lot of dramas, and I often see the stories of beautiful people in dramas..... I mean, if that person was as gentle and personable as jade, I might really fall in love at first sight! ”

Shen Xueqing couldn't wait to listen, and took the lead in laughing: "Look at you like this, the blue sky is white, and you are not ashamed!" ”

Shen Xueru put her hand on her cheeks, turned her dark eyes and looked left and right, and saw that Shen Xueyuan, Chen Yun, and Chen Qiang were also holding back their laughter, and instantly said with relief: "Laugh, laugh, anyway, what I said is nothing, even if you laugh out of anger, I don't care about you!" ”

Shen Xueyuan Suosuo laughed for a moment, and suddenly remembered the purpose of this trip, so he turned his eyes, turned around and looked at Shen Xueqing, who looked pleasant, and asked, "Eldest sister, you came back in a hurry just now, but to change the size of the neckline of the wedding dress?" ”

Shen Xueqing shifted her gaze, stared at her half-sister tightly, and said with a smile: "I also mentioned it casually in front of my wife last night, but you are a careful person, and you actually took it to heart!" ”

Shen Xueyuan listened, smiled lightly and lowered his head.

Shen Xueru has always been casual, and seeing that the atmosphere was a little gloomy, she smiled and said: "Sister Qing is afraid that she doesn't know, Sister Yun is the best at female popularity, if you don't believe it, you might as well let her try her hand at it!" ”

Chen Yun couldn't stand people's admiration the most, and hurriedly said modestly: "Sister, don't listen to Xueru's nonsense, my sister only understands a little, and she can't talk about being good at two words!" ”

Shen Xueqing knew that this was an ornament, and she also smiled: "The humble bamboo has a bowed head leaf, and the proud bone plum has no back-facing flowers!" Although we are different clans and different clans, but you come to our house every other year, we have seen several times back and forth, we are already familiar, this love is as deep as their own sisters, my sister does not have to be too modest, competing to be that humble bamboo! ”

Chen Yun felt that this was very kind, so she looked at Shen Xueqing with a smile, and then silently lowered her head and narrowed her horizon.

Shen Xueqing raised her eyes, and when she saw Chen Yun's restrained behavior, she simply stood up from the red sandalwood round stool, then went up to hold Chen Yun's slender hand, and said with a smile: "I'm having a headache here, sister, don't be polite, come with me to take a look!" ”

Chen Yun answered softly and followed Shen Xueqing to the couch.

Shen Xueyuan, Shen Xueru, and Chen Qiang glanced at each other, hurriedly sorted out their clothes, and followed without leaving an inch.

Shen Fuzheng was bored, and suddenly saw all the sisters rushing towards him, although he was pleasantly surprised, but because he still hated them for ignoring him just now, he moved in his heart and picked up the red wedding dress in his hand.

After a careful look, Shen Fupin said: "The embroidery is good, but the embroidery is ugly!" ”

Shen Xueqing deliberately looked at him with disgust, and said, "If you are too idle, please go to someone else's place to play with bones, I am riddled with trivial matters here, and you are not welcome at all!" As he spoke, he snatched the wedding dress back, and then welcomed Chen Yun to sit on the other side of the couch.

Shen Fu saw that his cousin was treating him slowly, and he suddenly became angry. But before he could wait for the opportunity to attack, he was ridiculed by Shen Xueru first.

"Brother, you are a young man, what are you mixing in our fat powder pile all day long? If you're really idle, go back to your study and play with the pen! It's cold today, maybe your brain is excited, and you can write and think, and then make many good articles one after another! Shen Xueru smiled proudly, "Now that Daddy hasn't come back from outside, you can save slowly, and in the future, you can deal with Daddy's sudden examination!" ”

Shen Fu didn't listen, so he was so angry that he immediately stood up, stared at Shen Xueru for a long time with angry round eyes, and then left Qiwu Courtyard angrily.

Shen Xueru saw her brother leaving in a bad mood, she was not afraid in her heart, and turned her head and sat down on the couch leisurely.

Shen Xueyuan walked slowly, just walked to the couch, and saw that Shen Xueru had no scheming as always, and did everything she wanted to do for others, so she couldn't help but remind: "You, you are also thirteen years old, why hasn't this mind grown yet?" ”

Shen Xueru disagreed: "People respect me for a foot, I respect people!" My brother is usually crazy, does he tease me less? ”

"Brother Fu's madness is Brother Fu's business, but why don't you open which pot and which pot you mention?" Shen Xueyuan bowed slightly, and sat down beside Shen Xueru with her dress straightened, "Brother Fu is very playful, and the most taboo thing is that the third master asks him about his academic homework, you are her own sister, not to mention coaxing him to be happy, why do you come to remind him every once in a while, so that he can't sleep well?" ”

Shen Xueru saw that Shen Xueyuan, who usually didn't say anything, was also helping her brother, so she couldn't help but pout, and sighed: "Hey, my brother is really blessed with a good life, not only the ancestors and my mother are hurting, but also Sister Yun is protecting her all the time, and now there is an extra you out of thin air!" ”

"I think it's okay, Sister Ming'er Qing got married, I'm the only one in this family who can't get used to seeing my brother, but I'm really alone!"

Shen Xueru couldn't help but mourn when she thought of this.

Chen Yun was instructing Shen Xueyuan on the other side of embroidery, and vaguely heard the conversation between the two, so he paused a few times in his hand and glanced at Shen Xueru frequently.

Shen Xueqing found that Chen Yun no longer spoke and advised, and raised her head curiously to take a look, but saw Chen Yun staring directly at the two opposite, so she smiled comfortably and said: "Brother Fu is not stupid, but he doesn't want to pay attention, if he gets the hang of it one day, he may not be able to become successful!" ”

Shen Xueru pursed her lips, shook her head and said: "You are just like the old ancestor, you will only spoil him, but I get along with him day and night, what is he like, can I be a sister better than you?" He is a mud bodhisattva who can't be lifted, a rush grass that can't be straightened, and a whole mediocre talent! ”

When Chen Yun heard this, she was not very happy after all, so she was silent, lowered her head again and sewed the neckline of the wedding dress for Shen Xueqing.

Shen Xueqing has a scheming, although she sees it in her eyes, she is not good at interfering, she can only listen to it without hearing it, while observing Chen Yun's stitching, she asked: "My sister has fine stitches, will it not be breathable?" ”

Chen Yun smiled indifferently: "No, although the stitches are dense, the neckline has been opened, and it can be regarded as making up for it!" ”

Shen Xueqing nodded yes and came closer to take a closer look.

Shen Xueyuan and Chen Qiang saw that the two of them were next to each other, and couldn't help but come over to watch.

Poor Shen Xueru sat alone on the couch, looking at her nose and her nose, but she didn't know why she wasn't welcomed.

It was easy to throw away the idle time, and soon it was close to noon, and everyone was thinking about going back, so they said goodbye to Shen Xueqing one after another.

Hand in hand out of the Qiwu courtyard, just see the sky is clear and snowy, boxwood green willow is wrapped in silver, pine ancient cypress Qiongzhi jade leaves, the white scenery is bright.

Shen Xueru thought that the snow light was too bright, and her eyes were not very adaptable, so she rubbed her eyes very carefully, turned her head to Shen Xueyuan, Chen Yun, and Chen Qiang, who were silent, and said straight to the point: "Just now, the maid came to report that the meal had been prepared over there in the Green Bamboo Courtyard, and I wanted to go back in a hurry and say goodbye first!" ”
