What he often can't ask for is miserable for Wang Xi.

Wang Xi's voice is crisp and tactful, her father often praises her voice like a "lark", when she was young, in order to let her say a few more words, her father teased her less, she also relied on her good voice, often to her grandfather, grandmother, and even uncles and grandmothers to read Buddhist scriptures, which is considered filial piety in front of the elders.

So when Mrs. Tai asked her to read the Buddhist scriptures, she happily went.

Who knew that Mrs. Tai was different from her grandmothers.

After Mrs. Tai took her into the Buddhist hall, she asked Mama Shi to bring her a copy of the "Diamond Sutra", and then pointed to a page at random and asked her to start reading. Mrs. Tai leaned on the big kang near the window, closed her eyes and played with the eighteen Buddha beads of small leaf sandalwood in her hand, until Wang Xi read more than 20 pages of scriptures in a row, Mrs. Tai opened her eyes and said to her with a smile: "Okay, let's read here today!" ”

When she read the Buddhist scriptures to her grandmother in Shuzhong, a bunch of maids and women around her served tea and fanned without saying, whenever she finished reading a paragraph, her grandmother would be distressed and painful to let her rest for a while, and would personally feed her honey water to drink, ask her if she was tired, praise her for reading well, either reward her with gold and silver jewelry, or reward her with antique pieces, and the most unfortunate also have a snack. It would be even more so if she was reading Buddhist scriptures to the other elders in the family, because in addition to the elders who would reward her with good things, her grandfather and grandmother would reward her again.

When I arrived at Mrs. Tai's place, I only rewarded her with a cup of tea, and it was still Mrs. Tai's favorite old gentleman's eyebrows.

The faint taste of tea made Wang Xi sigh secretly.

Mrs. Tai asked her to read the Buddhist scriptures, does this like her? Or punish her?

If there is such a good thing in the future, she will still push it to Chang Ning.

Wang Xi glanced up at the funnel that recorded the hours in the small Buddha hall.

It's almost time, usually at this time, Mrs. Hou will come to discuss the housework with Mrs. Tai, she should be able to get out soon!

Wang Xi's mood finally improved a little, and she thought that she was now going to come to greet Mrs. Tai every morning, and to accompany Mrs. Tai to dine in the evening, and the only time she could be free was in the afternoon, so she had to find a way not to let Mrs. Tai occupy her in the afternoon.

She's always been quick-witted, and she has ideas when she comes up with them.

Wang Xi put down the teacup and said to Mrs. Tai with a smile: "It's about to be the Buddha Bathing Festival, I'll copy a few pages of scriptures for you to provide for the Bodhisattva!" ”

Anyway, Mrs. Tai doesn't know her handwriting, so she can ask Baizhu to help when the time comes.

Mrs. Tai forgot about the Buddha Bathing Festival, and when she heard the words, she suddenly felt that Wang Xi was not only lively and cute, but also remembered all kinds of festivals, and properly arranged human relations, which was a housewife. ”

Wang Xi's eyes were sparkling with a smile, and she could already imagine the comfort of lying on the chaise longue next to the bamboo curtain in the hot noon without going out.

Mrs. Tai told her about the young lady of the Shi family: "Her maiden name is a 'pearl' character, one year older than you, your cousin of the Shi family has six sons, only this one daughter, who was pampered and grew up, although her temperament is a little pampered, her character is not bad, if she offends you in any way, you will look at your grandmother's face, don't worry about her generally, come and tell me, I will punish her." ”

Wang Xi listened disapprovingly.

Mrs. Tai, is she afraid that they will fight?

But who isn't a coquette?

It's just that I don't know what kind of pampering method this Miss Shi is, no one has come yet, Chang Ning is excited as if she has a helper, and Mrs. Tai began to warn her in advance?

Wang Xi was eager to try and wanted to meet this Miss Shi.

She said, "When will Miss Shi return to the capital?" Are we going to greet them? What does she like? I'll have someone prepare a gift for her. ”

Seeing her innocent appearance, Mrs. Tai felt that Wang Xi was broad-minded, like her second daughter, and she was even more happy when she saw Wang Xi, and said: "She said that she has already set off, and she will definitely arrive before the Dragon Boat Festival." As for what kind of greeting gift, this child is very sensible like you, and she will like whatever you give. ”

Is it really the same as her?

She's a very vindictive person.

When she was a child, once her fourth aunt went back to her parents' house, and brought heavy gifts to her second brother and her, but only brought a set of four treasures of the study to her eldest brother, she went to her grandfather and grandmother to complain, and the fourth aunt was severely disciplined, and never dared to snub her eldest brother from then on.

If Miss Shi is like her, wouldn't she also be a grudge?

Wang Xi pouted in his heart, and Mrs. Hou came over.

Seeing her in the Buddha Hall, I wanted to speak and stopped.

Wang Xi got up to say goodbye and returned to Qingxue Garden with a pout.

Red Silk was holding her clairing mirror and was looking forward to her return.

When he saw her, he trotted over, pulled her and ran to the backyard: "Quick, quick, quick, that person is dancing the sword again, he appeared not long after the young lady left, and now I should be able to see a tail." ”

Wang Xi became excited when he heard this, and trotted all the way with the red silk to the warm pavilion on the rockery.

Unfortunately, she was still a step late.

In the yard next door, there were only fallen leaves all over the ground.

"How so?!" Red Silk was so anxious that she stomped her feet.

Wang Xi knew that he was late to come back.

She asked Hongxi, "When did that person appear?" How long has the sword been dancing? ”

Red Silk replied carefully: "Mao Zheng came out from left and right, and danced for about an hour. ”

"Finally a normal person." Wang Xi was very disappointed, and couldn't help but complain, "Who will want to be ugly?" You see the sword dance next door, and it only starts at the end of the day. However, he got up so late, he definitely didn't have to go to the morning court. I wonder if I can find a way to ask who this person is? ”

She sent someone to inquire about the eldest princess's mansion, and if someone finds out, she won't be killed, right?

Wang Xi thought about the feasibility of this matter.

The partial red silk was still there echoing Wang Xi: "The eldest princess's mansion can't you skip eating without buying vegetables, right?" We can ask who is in Dongshi to deliver food to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and when the time comes, we can definitely ask who that person is. ”

Mama Wang saw that Wang Xi was very moved, and wanted to persuade Wang Xi to say a few words, but was dragged by Bai Guo.

She whispered to Mama Wang: "You can go with the eldest lady!" The eldest lady can be wronged today. I helped Mrs. Tai read the Buddhist scriptures for a long time, and I didn't even drink a cup of honey water. At this point, he blamed himself again, "I was also careless, thinking that it was Mrs. Tai's Buddha Hall, and there were some eyeless people in the other people's rooms, and there should be no foolish people around Mrs. Tai's side to serve closely, so I didn't follow in." Who knows......"

"You don't blame you for that." Mama Wang was able to hold a mosquito between her eyebrows, and said, "What is the plan of the eldest lady, I will ask clearly, I can't drag it like this anymore." But it's not good to really send someone to the eldest princess's mansion to inquire about these things, the big shopkeeper over there, let Wang Xi run again, if the eldest lady really sends someone to inquire about the eldest princess's mansion, let him delay it first. ”

Bai Guo responded "yes" in a low voice, Hongsu and Wang Xi were already discussing how to greet Mrs. Tai tomorrow: "Go early and return early, she wants to keep me again, no matter what it is, I will push Chang Ning out, I can't see the beginning, and I won't see the end." However, this is not a long-term solution after all, and we still have to find a way to avoid a good morning every few days. ”

Hongsilk nodded again and again, and said: "I don't know when the big shopkeeper will be able to find us a clairvoyant mirror like the uncle, I always feel that this is still not very clear." ”

"That's it!" Wang Xi and Hongsilk found a common topic and said, "Is there someone who serves around that person?" How many are there? Did they live around there or did they just choose that bamboo forest morning exercise? ”

"I don't know!" Red Silk said in disbelief, "He came out of the bamboo forest, and he didn't see anyone serving. ”

Another day of nothing.

Wang Xi sighed and instructed Hongxi: "You continue to stare to see if he will dance the sword at other times." ”

Hongsilk asked her to show her: "Can I go to the willow shade garden and keep an eye on it?" It's close to the Eldest Princess's Mansion. ”

"Go ahead!" Wang Xi felt that the new clairvoyant mirror might be as far away as Mama Wang said, and if she wanted to know that person's movements, she still had to think of other ways.

Red Silk gladly responded.

Mama Wang accompanied Wang Xi to change her clothes, and took the opportunity of the little maids to send her snacks to ask her about her plans: "The three new cooks are a trivial matter, but the kitchen may be a little insufficient." If you are going to marry in Beijing, it is better to buy a house nearby and come to greet Mrs. Tai every once in a while. ”

Wang Xi sat beside the mirror and thought about it, and said, "It's good to buy a house." But I won't marry in Beijing, where to buy this house, if no one lives in it, whether it's good to rent it, and whether it's good to get rid of it when you don't want it, these are not too late for the big shopkeeper to inquire and make a decision. ”

This is the first time Wang Xi has made it clear that she will not stay in Beijing.

Mama Wang and the others were relieved when they heard this, and Mama Wang smiled even more: "Don't worry, Miss, I'll handle all of this, and I'll definitely go clean." ”

Don't offend the Hou Mansion.

Wang Xi nodded casually.

In the afternoon, she recruited Baizhu to help her copy Buddhist scriptures: "Use the pavilion body, in case Mrs. Tai asks me to copy things for her one day, so as not to be exposed." ”

Baizhu pursed his lips and smiled.

Wang Xi sat next to her and played with her big orange cat bay leaf.

Xiangye nestled in her arms and made a "gurgling" sound comfortably.

The little maid Anan probed her brain outside the curtain.

Wang Xi smiled and beckoned to her: "What's wrong?" ”

Anan ran in with a smile and said in a low voice, "Miss, there is a quarrel over there in Xingyuan." ”

The third room lives in the apricot orchard.

Wang Xi stroked the cat's hand.

Xiangye opened her eyes and let out a dissatisfied "cooing" sound.

Wang Xi hurriedly helped Xiangye stroke a few more times.

Xiangye closed her eyes again in satisfaction.

Anan smiled: "Isn't Chang Sanye's yard not enough to live in?" The second wife went to find the third wife, and the third wife promised to let go of the south room of the apricot garden. It's just that in this way, Chang Baye has no place to live, so the third lady discussed with Mrs. Hou whether she could let the fourth lady live in Chunyin Garden. Mrs. Hou said that Mrs. Tai was going to let Miss Shi live in Chunyin Garden. Asked if the fourth lady could live in the willow shade garden. Although it is a little far from the main courtyard, it is not far from the Spring Yin Garden, and when Miss Shi moves in, it is good to have a companion.

"The third lady went back and told the fourth lady, and the fourth lady made a fuss."
