At present, the old lady is being served by two personal girls, Xin'er and Sheng'er, to eat.

Her granddaughter, He Ying, was sitting next to her, chatting with her.

He Ying is the youngest daughter of the old lady's only beloved daughter, Lu Pinyue. She was dressed in a pink dress, her skin was white and beautiful, and her hair bun was full of gold, silver and jade jewelry, but it set off her powdered face more and more white.

Now that the old lady has spoken, the girl Sheng'er left the old lady and went to the swing, and before the person approached, she said to Lu Yuanqing from a distance: "Fourth girl, the old lady told you to enter the house." ”

"Here we are."

After the person arrived in the house, the old lady put down the jujube cake in her hand and said, "What were you laughing at just now?" Is there anything that deserves to be so happy for you to say it and make everyone laugh. ”

"Hmm...... I didn't laugh either, I just saw the jasmine under the west wall blooming again, and it was about to bloom for the second time, so I couldn't stop talking. ”

She wouldn't tell the truth to the old lady, after all, there would be no story to read after telling the truth.

Especially in front of so many people, you can't talk nonsense.

The old lady didn't believe her, and asked, "Where did you go just now?" ”

"Just now? I went to my third brother just now. Go see his thrush. Lu Yuanqing fiddled with a wisp of green silk hanging from his shoulder and said.

"Come on, you can eat another jujube cake. You see you're as thin as a stick. The old lady said and handed over a piece of jujube cake.

"Grandmother, I can't eat any more." She shook her head, a look of rejection.

"If you don't eat fat, people will treat you as a girl when you go out. You see, which girl in our family is not more like a lady than you. ”

Xin'er snickered behind the old lady's back. The old lady was telling the truth. At present, the four young girls in this room, except for Lu Yuanqing, are all white and beautiful. Naturally, the most beautiful is the cousin He Ying. But she and Sheng'er, if they wore the clothes of the fourth girl and went out, they would definitely be more like Miss than the fourth girl.

Sheng'er didn't laugh, and retorted to the old lady: "Old lady, don't laugh, although the fourth girl has lost a little weight, her aura is always much stronger than ours......"

"You can really talk, this reward you!" Lu Yuanqing took the jujube cake from the old lady's hand and immediately handed it to Sheng'er.

Sheng'er smiled and took the jujube cake, chewed it and swallowed it slowly. Although she had eaten it just now, and she was not hungry now, she had to eat whatever the girl rewarded.

At this moment, He Ying, who had been talking not much on the side, said to the old lady, "Grandmother, I'll go to the courtyard for a walk." ”

"Go ahead." The old lady looked at her lovingly and replied.

Lu Yuanqing looked at He Ying's back, with a hint of imperceptible schadenfreude on her face.

Her cousin's thoughts about her third brother, she could see it clearly.

He Ying came to the courtyard, stood at the bend of the cloister in the courtyard and looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard for a while, then walked out of the old lady's courtyard gate and walked towards Lu Shikang's courtyard.

When I got there, I saw him playing chess with Wu Shan in the corridor in the courtyard.

On the side stood Zhou Da, Wednesday and Qi Fang.

When Wu Shan was waiting for Lu Shikang to fall into the army, he saw He Ying coming over, and hurriedly stood up and said, "Third son, let's wait and go down." I'll go back to my room and drink some water. ”

Zhou Da Wednesday and Qi Fang also said: "Let's go drink saliva too." They also followed Wu Shan's gaze just now and saw He Ying coming.

Lu Shikang was fixing his eyes on the chessboard, figuring out where the chess pieces in his hand should be the most appropriate, and when he raised his eyes again, he found that Wu Shan on the opposite side of the chessboard was gone, and then looked around at Zhou Da on the side, Wednesday and Qi Fang were also gone.

"Where has this person gone?"

A delicate voice came from behind him, "They were all scared away by me." Cousin, do you think I'm so scary? He laughed as he spoke.

"You don't embroider and practice in your yard, why do you have time to come to me?" He glanced up at her slightly, then looked down at the board again.

"I came to see my cousin's thrush, Yuanqing said that she came just now, and when she went back, she couldn't stop smiling, I thought there must be something fun here......"

"Go and see. The thrush was in the cage hanging from that tree. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a weeping willow tree by the cloister in the courtyard.

He Ying looked at Lu Shikang's finger and saw the thrush birdcage hanging from the weeping willow tree.

She approached the birdcage and looked at the thrush, looking east and west, and she couldn't see anything funny about it.

Today, my cousin Lu Yuanqing has been smirking since she came back from here, if it has nothing to do with the thrush here, is it really just because of what jasmine she just said is going to bloom for the second time?

It doesn't matter, though, she's not here for the thrush.

"Cousin, look at this thrush, it seems to like me very much......"

"Oh. Seriously? His eyes were on the board, not paying attention to what she was saying.

"Of course, if you come and see, it's staring at me......"

"Well, you just let it stare at it......"

"Come and see, it won't stare at me later."

"Then let it not star, you still want to control a bird?" His eyes never took off the chessboard.

"I just wanted you to come and see how it stares at me......"

"It's going to stare at you the way it sits at you."

He Ying fell silent.

In the inner room, several small servants were crowded by the window in the room, looking out.

Wu Shan shook his head helplessly and said, "The fish just don't take the bait." ”

Wednesday blinked his eyes and said, "Do you think that the third son of our family doesn't know what the cousin girl thinks about him?" ”

Zhou Da glanced at his third brother: "What you know, he won't know?" Do you think you're smarter than him or what? ”

"Then why can't he be nice to his cousin? He can like so many girls, why should he shy away from her? ”

Wu Shan pondered for a moment and said, "That's because he wants to throw away other girls, how can he throw this away?" For a girl who is not really satisfied, he can't throw it when the time comes, so he naturally won't touch it. ”

Wednesday said: "Why can't you throw it away?" Can she still tie our third son? ”

Zhou Da, who felt that Wu Shan's analysis just now was very reasonable, rolled his eyes even whiter at his third brother at this time: "Can you tell me how to throw it?" As long as she cries, makes trouble, and hangs herself in front of the old lady and the master, our third son has to marry if she marries, and if she doesn't marry, she has to marry her! She knew that the peach blossoms outside the third prince were constantly going up, so she didn't plan to do this? ”

Wu Shan nodded in agreement with Zhou Dadao: "I feel the same way." You can't underestimate this girl, she has a deep heart. She has her own home and doesn't stay here, she always lives here, and she originally planned not to let go of our third son. After provoking her, it will be difficult for the third son to get out again. If you really mess with her, let's not talk about peach blossoms in the future, and don't even think about picking osmanthus again. ”

As they spoke, they paid attention to the scene in the courtyard outside. The third prince here never took his eyes off the chessboard from beginning to end, as if he was all on the chessboard and had no time to care. The cousin over there, He Ying, looked at the thrush fluttering in the cage with a lonely face.

Soon, she was tired of seeing the thrush, turned to Lu Shikang and said, "I'm back, I'll come back to you to see it later." ”

"If you like it, take it with you." He said that he had helped Wu Shan play a chess piece.

"No, I don't know how to raise it. If you die, you're going to blame me again......"

Lu Shikang didn't answer her, but took another step on his side.

When He Ying passed him through the cage, it was as if he didn't see it.

After He Ying's figure disappeared from the courtyard gate, Lu Shikang took his eyes off the chessboard.

"Let everyone come out for me." He shouted into the room.
