Yu Wenyan quietly put the mulberry paper bag into his arms, and then looked at Shi Jinxiu: "Is there anything important that you went to look for me that day?" ”

"Huh? Nope! Shi Jinxiu was stunned for a moment, and then remembered what he had done last time he went to the Zhenfu Division, "By the way, where is my sachet?" ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand: "Didn't you say that if you have a new one, you will return the old one to me?" ”

Yu Wenyan smiled and took out something from his arms and put it in Shi Jinxiu's hand.

Shi Jinxiu only felt a burst of warmth in his palm, and when he looked down, he found that what he gave him was not the old sachet, but a mutton fat jade carved into a butterfly.

She looked at Yu Wenyan in puzzlement.

didn't think that Yu Wenyan avoided her eyes: "I lost that sachet, this should be paid to you!" ”

Shi Jinxiu pulled the corners of her mouth.

If you lose it, you lose it, and the sachet she made is not worth a few dollars, but this piece of mutton fat jade is of the highest grade at first glance, how dare she accept it at will.

And she still has the Xuantie Order that Yu Wenyan gave her before, and she has never found a chance to return it to him.

"Your Excellency...... I can't take this...... I still have your Xuantie Order......" Shi Jinxiu wanted to return the mutton fat jade.

"Keep that piece of my black iron for you to keep! You run around the capital all day long, carrying it with you just in case. Yu Wenyan said lightly, "Also, how is the house you bought in Bluestone Lane before?" ”

Okay, why did he ask about this?

Shi Jinxiu muttered in her heart.

"I just went to see the house with my dad today, and I plan to take advantage of the good weather to renovate the main courtyard." Shi Jinxiu felt that there was nothing to hide in this matter, so he told Yu Wenyan the truth.

Yu Wenyan nodded, and then took a sip of tea.

"If you're not in a hurry to use that house, don't touch it yet!" He returned to his usual serious look, "And the land outside the Yongsheng Gate, don't interfere with your family." ”

Shi Jinxiu thought of the words he had heard at the noodle stall during the day.

"I can't control the other people." She couldn't help but mutter.

"Then leave them alone!" I didn't think that Yu Wenyan would laugh with her.

Yu Wenyan didn't stay for long, and when he finished drinking the cup of tea in his hand, he got up to say goodbye.

Shi Jinxiu followed and sent out the door, but found that Du Juan was sitting side by side with Dark Cloud under the porch, saying something happily.

Seeing Yu Wenyan coming out of the house, she also stood up in a hurry, but she didn't know what to say.

Yu Wenyan didn't want to embarrass her, and after a glance, he left with the dark cloud.

On the second day, Shi Jinxiu, who was asleep, was woken up by a cry like killing a pig.

"What's going on?" She sat up in a daze.

Hearing the sound, the cuckoo pushed the door into the house, and then couldn't hide his excitement and said, "Girl, Cuiyun was sent out of the house by the third wife!" ”

"Huh?" Shi Jinxiu, who hadn't woken up yet, looked at her half-squinting.

"The third lady found that Cuiyun's hands and feet were not clean, and stole a lot of her fat powder and jewelry, so she wanted to expel people from the house......" Du Juan said softly, for fear that someone would hear and say that she was playing with right and wrong.

Shi Jinxiu suddenly came to his senses.

Hum! What kind of hands and feet are not clean, it is also thanks to her third aunt to come up with such a reason.

If it was said that Cuiyun was driven out of the house because she climbed into bed, Mrs. Shi would probably come out to be this peacemaker and ask to keep Cuiyun.

Now that Cuiyun's hands and feet are not clean, this is a matter of conduct.

No one will say a good word for a person of bad character.

In this way, if you want to kill or chop, it all depends on the preferences of the third aunt.

As for those who have been expelled from the Lord's house for stealing, no one will dare to use her again.

In other words, Cuiyun, who was expelled from the Marquis of Changxing's mansion, is over in this life.

But Shi Jinxiu didn't pity her at all.

After all, she wanted to harm the cuckoo like this yesterday.

"We don't care about her!" Shi Jinxiu smiled with Du Juan, "It's Tanabata in two days, let's also put a big bowl filled with water in the atrium and throw needles and beg!" ”

There are many girls in the Changxing Hou Mansion, and in previous years, as soon as the Qixi Festival arrives, the eldest lady Li who presides over the feeding will put incense in the courtyard for melons and fruits.

But because the people in the house have been intentionally or unintentionally crowding out the people in the four rooms, Shi Jinxiu has never begged for coincidence since he was a child.

This year, she doesn't want to be crowded with the other people at the head of the house, but plans to play her own by herself.

As soon as the cuckoo heard this, he became interested: "It's not okay to cast needles alone, let's prepare the offering table, insert flowers, and put on the offerings...... It's just that there are few people in our courtyard, so I'm afraid it's not lively enough. “

"How so!" Shi Jinxiu disagreed, "There are you and me in our courtyard, my mother and sister Yan, Yulan and Chen's mother, why is it not lively?" ”

Hearing Shi Jinxiu say this, Du Juan's interest rose again, she first served Shi Jinxiu to get up, and then followed Shi Jinxiu to the main house.

In the main room, Jane was combing her hair.

She kept yawning, and she was obviously awakened by Cuiyun's noise.

As soon as Shi Gang saw Shi Jinxiu coming, he took out a drawing that was made overnight, and told her where to lay what bricks, where to draw what patterns, and where to carve what flowers.

Shi Jinxiu was very embarrassed when she saw it.

As soon as she thought of what Yu Wenyan confessed last night, she had to say to her father: "I thought about it last night, my mother still has a big belly here, and it is not suitable to start construction, why don't we wait?" ”

It is said that if a woman in the family is pregnant, she should not build a large number of buildings, so as not to alarm the fetal god and slip the fetus.

Although the house they planned to renovate was in the bluestone lane of the outer city, Shi Gang was also a little worried when he heard Shi Jinxiu say this.

"Since that's the case...... Then let's take it slowly......" Shi Gang rolled up the drawing, "just take advantage of these days for me to think carefully and refine the drawing." ”

Shi Jinxiu smiled and nodded, and then got tired of her mother's side, and told her about Qixi begging.

Because Jane's is pregnant, almost all the big and small things in the yard are arranged by Shi Jinxiu, so when she heard Shi Jinxiu say this, she did not object.

After breakfast, Shi Jinxiu happily went with the cuckoo to prepare the items for Qixi Festival.

Looking at such a spirited daughter, Jane began to regret that she had been detaining Shi Jinxiu in the early years, which almost made her as timid and afraid as herself.

Seeing that her sister was in full swing in the atrium, Shi Yan shouted for help, and Chen's mother watched the girls busy coming in and out, and also specially helped make some pastry and fruits.

The whole courtyard was full of life, and the atmosphere of the festival was blowing in the face.

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, after lunch, Shi Jinxiu invited the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in the Lixiang Courtyard to come and beg for tricks.

The so-called needle throwing is to sprinkle a needle on the water surface to see whose needle floats more, and whose needle floating on the water has a beautiful pattern, who will beg for a coincidence.

A group of people coaxed Jane to come first.

Jane couldn't resist everyone, so she grabbed a handful of needles and threw them into the bowl of the sea, some of the needles floated and some of the needles sank, and some of the needles floating on the water were gathering, some were scattered, and gradually a pattern was put together......

"It's a cockscomb, it's a cockscomb!" When Magnolia saw it, she laughed.

Everyone was eager to try it.

laughed and laughed all afternoon, and in the evening, after worshipping the seventh sister, everyone competed to thread the needle on the moon.

Naturally, everyone can't compare to Magnolia, who has been helping Jane's thread thread thread before, so that she has won the first prize.

Jane smiled and took off the ring from her hand and gave it to Magnolia, and everyone kept playing until the third watch was gone.
