"Ziying, since you know that your father has always criticized you, why do you insist on bothering?" Xu Xianglin stopped her and said curiously, "In case you are caught by your father, you don't know what he will do to your detriment." ”

Feng Ziying thought about Xu Zhao's abnormal tone just now, and muttered in her heart, but then her face was full of joy, and she responded: "I'm not afraid of shadows, and I'm not going to do anything hurtful, I don't think my uncle will be able to catch any tricks this time, hey, you don't have to worry." ”

Feng Ziying smiled at him as she spoke, Xu Xianglin stared at her eyes stunned, her slightly frowning brows, and she couldn't help but sneer, her smile was like a slight ripple, dissipating all the worries in his heart.

Xu Xianglin, who was full of poetry and books, and danced and wrote, was speechless at the moment, he was really talented and unbeatable in the Nine Heavens, which was a beautiful woman with a smile.

"Well, fortunately, my father asked me to accompany you, and you can just play by yourself." Xu Xianglin smiled lovingly, and before Feng Ziying could finish listening to him, she hurried towards her house. Sure enough, no matter how big the Xu Mansion is, it is difficult to hold her unrestrained free mind.

Feng Ziying's legs and feet were inconvenient, so Xu Xianglin instructed Sanjiu to prepare a sedan chair privately and leave the house with him tomorrow.

Feng Ziying went back to the room and picked out clothes, and after a while, she walked into the dormitory alone, and cleared her voice: "Uncle, uncle?" The hall was empty, and after a while, Ruolan greeted her from the side hall, "Oh, it turned out to be Sister A, I thought it was a lark calling from somewhere." "Come closer.

"How can there be such a poor-mouthed sister as you~" Feng Ziying turned her face a little shy, Ruolan hid her face and snickered, and then became serious again, "Why is Sister here today, what is the matter with Mrs.?" Feng Ziying turned his face and smiled: "The master agreed that Xu Gongzi and I would go out to play tomorrow, these days I am in a daze at the book every day, and I don't even hear a bird's call, which really suffocates me." ”

"Oh, my sister doesn't dislike my son-in-law for being a boring nerd, and I don't know where to fly for a long time~" Ruolan, a girl who is quiet on weekdays, is clever and tight-tongued in front of Feng Ziying, and she will come as soon as she opens her mouth.

"I'm talking nonsense again... That's it, can Madame be in the side hall? She glanced at the side hall, Ruolan lowered her head, slightly worried, "Madame went out the day before yesterday, and when she came back, she felt dizzy, couldn't breathe, and couldn't stand steadily..."

"Have you ever called a doctor?"

"I went to the doctor yesterday, and the doctor said that my wife is fine, and she can recover after a few days of rest."

Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, she was busy trying to go in and have a look, but she didn't take two steps and stopped, and said to herself: "Forget it, don't disturb Madame's rest." "Turn around and go out.

"It turned out to be Mrs. Feng, I said that Ruolan, this girl has not seen anyone for a long time, I don't know what is the important thing for the lady to come?" Liu's forehead was wrapped in a bundle cloth, his face was pale, and he looked like he was suffering from some serious illness at a glance.

"The little girl didn't know that her wife was sick, so she took the liberty to disturb her, and asked her not to blame her." Feng Ziying hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Madame should recuperate more." ”

"The old body is a lot older, this body is not as tough as before, and now it is the middle of winter, it is normal to have a small illness and a small disaster, there is no big problem." Liu Shi coughed a few times dryly, and smiled tightly, "If the lady has something to say, what is there to be embarrassed about." ”

Feng Ziying wanted to speak and stopped, she looked at Liu, and then at Ruolan, I didn't know whether to open her mouth, Ruolan saw how embarrassed she was, so she said: "Sister, just say something, Madam is magnanimous, and she will definitely help you if she can do it." ”

"Madam, I don't know if I can let Ruolan accompany me out of the house tomorrow." Feng Ziying informed the Liu family of what happened, and although the Liu family did not change color when she heard it, there was a trace of uneasiness in her words, and she immediately agreed and ordered Ruolan to go with her tomorrow.

In the early months of winter, every other day, the wind destroys the alleys, the snow presses the city, and the black wounds seem to be immersed in the vastness of the world, the city is white, and the tile is cold.

It was the second month of midwinter, Qiong Ying ignored the call of the three winters, pretended to drown in a hundred feet of sky, the wind and snow disappeared, and it seemed that she no longer loved the black roof tile hall, nearly a month, the warm sun was shining, the ice and snow melted, leaving only a little residual snow, hidden in the dark place of the deep alley, and the zero crack at the foot of the wall.

On the second day, the weather was sunny and refreshing, and the winter sun was still the same, but after all, it was the cold winter season, and the damp and cold air was still unabated, Feng Ziying got up early to make up, her smile was like a flower, and her eyes were full of excitement and expectation, she was really bored these days in Xu's mansion.

Packed up, a few people took advantage of the morning to go out of the house, four slaves carried the sedan chair and followed behind, Feng Ziying asked Xu Xianglin why the sedan chair was empty, he lied that it was specially prepared for himself, Ruolan saw through her son-in-law's mind at a glance, hid her face and snickered silently, Sanjiu tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to restrain a little.

"Sister, this time I am lucky to have fun, do you want to visit the downtown Shiqiao, or do you want to buy some gouache rouge, hairpins and hairpins?" Ruolan smiled sweetly, Mother Xu instructed her to bring enough money yesterday in case of emergency, if Feng Ziying saw any object ornaments, she would buy them.

"Sister, just take a walk and take a look, didn't Mrs. send you to add a lot of household items to my room a while ago, and even the rouge is almost out of place." Feng Ziying shirked and said that she didn't want to break the bank and buy anything.

"Sister is beautiful, I don't think that rouge will come in handy!" If you want to say that Ruolan is a woman, her speech is not only funny, but also very pleasing.

"You, you, don't make fun of me..."

The rules of the Xu Mansion are very strict, Ruolan is cautious in her words and deeds on weekdays, and how dare she joke with Feng Ziying in private, taking advantage of this opportunity, her words overflowed, and she wished to say it in the dark.

"Childe, Yuanchen (that is, the Spring Festival) is approaching, I heard that the West Street is very lively!" Sanjiu was so excited, the more he talked, the more excited he became, and he almost jumped up.

"Oh? Oh, don't you say I forgot, the first day of the next month is the day of the New Year. Xu Xianglin was stunned for a moment, then thought about it for a while, and suddenly sighed.

"Childe only cares about reading every day, so it's no wonder that he doesn't forget this festive day." Ruolan always has endless words, but whenever others speak, she can always hold on to the words.

"Xiang Lin, since there are many pedestrians on West Street, you might as well go and join in the fun." Feng Ziying said and pulled his arm, Xu Xianglin smiled: "It's rare to go out, you can go wherever you want, the huge black wound is enough for you to go shopping for a while." A few people talked and laughed, and after a while, they walked leisurely to the entrance of West Street, to say that this West Street, it is really a different scene.

The teahouse wine shop Fengyue Building, the Di shop is mixed with the Tianxiang Pavilion, the total is born, the forest is a group, the travelers are endlessly like ants, the noisy ups and downs are like birds, stepping on the threshold wood, helping the ink to help the door, the people in the door are difficult to get out, and the guests outside the door are difficult to enter. Long stalls and streets, do not distinguish where the east and west are far, people flow shuttlely, regardless of the north and south where the guests are, pause but do not stop, look at the drooping yellow hair, talk and laugh, enjoy the good days, even if the three winters are closed to the eight wilderness, which can be a spring to call nine Xinjiang.

Feng Ziying was stunned to see such a prosperous and lively West Street, she couldn't help but sigh with joy, the pear vortex was a little red, her eyebrows fell slightly, she couldn't wait to approach a stall, full of hairpins and bracelets, reflecting the sunshine and shining hair, Ruolan followed closely behind, seeing that she loved it so much, she picked a pink dazzling hairpin and inserted it in her bun, and then she was about to find out the baht money, Feng Ziying saw this and took off the hairpin, put Ruolan's arm, and stuffed the money bag back.

"Sister, if you like this hairpin, buy it, why do you shirk it so much!" Ruolan pouted, not understanding why she was like this. "Ruolan, don't say more." Xu Xianglin gave her a look, and then took Feng Ziying's arm and went elsewhere to watch and play.

It was noon, and the bustling West Street was full of people, the shouts of the stall owners, the calls of the noodle shop guys, and the chatting and laughter of the idlers in the tea hall, one after another, chaos in the streets and alleys.

Sanjiu traveled back and forth to West Street for a long time, either to buy a household in the house, or to be ordered to run errands, he seemed to be used to everything here, if it weren't for the fact that Yuanchen was approaching, he would not propose to come here to hang out, and at this time he followed a few people's butts for several hours, very tired, and said: "Childe, there is a tavern in front, how about we go in and rest for a while?" Xu Xianglin saw that the sun was rising, and after walking for so many hours, it was time to rest, so he ordered Sanjiu to lead the way and entered the tavern together.

This tavern is called Xizi Tavern, located in the most prosperous area of West Street, the shopkeeper is a woman, about 30 years old, born enchanting and colorful, charming charm, idle and wild guests, literati and scholars, all the people who come to eat and drink, all praise its appearance Saibi Shih, praise its talent is unsurpassed, the tavern is therefore named Xizi Tavern, the people only know its surname Liu, but no one knows its name, so it is called Liu Niang.

On weekdays, there is an endless stream of idle guests who come here to drink and recreation, the business of the tavern is booming, and now it is close to the good day of the first day, the drinkers are even full, everyone knows that Liu Niang is good at singing and dancing, everyone talks about it and laughs and coaxes, Liu Niang can't shirk it, so she takes advantage of the good day to sing and dance in the hall, the tavern instantly makes a lot of noise, everyone sees the wine leaking the corners of the mouth, and the lamp is broken all over the ground.

"Three taels of baht, twenty taels of singing and dancing, a total of twenty-three taels." After singing and dancing, the red sleeves fell, Ye Mei spread, Liu Niang retreated to the counter, there was no sound in the hall, after a while, all the drinkers came back to their senses, while asking the wine, while praising Liu Niang's song and dance, the tavern was noisy and lively for a while.

Everyone saw Liu Niang's slender waist in their eyes, and they only heard Liu Niang's chanting and sheng song in their ears, where did they notice that Xu Xianglin and their party entered the tavern, and after three or two turbid wines, only the drinkers found them.

"Oh, isn't this Xu Gongzi!" A man in a sable coat held a wine jug in one hand, drank a glass of warm wine, and approached with a grin, this loud shout suddenly caused all the drinkers to tilt their heads.
