Ruolan squatted next to a large wooden basin, holding a small shovel looking for something in the basin, and kept churning with a shovel, looking a little eager.

There is a large half pot of sand in the pot, which Ruohong asked the orange pomegranate to get from the outside for Ruolan to play with.

Ruolan has something to play, so she won't stick to her.

Ruohong squatted down and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"My little mouse is gone." Ruolan raised her little face and looked at Ruohong anxiously,

Ruohong knew that the little mouse she was talking about was a little mouse carved from jadeite, because Ruolan was a rat, so Ruoxue found someone to carve one for her when she was very young.

"Where did you put it?"

"That's it...... It's on the edge of this pot. ”

"Is it inside the basin or outside the basin?"

"Inside." Ruolan said, stretching out her finger and pointing to the left side of the basin, and pointing to the right side uncertainly, "I forgot ......"

"How can you find it in such a mess! Come, let's pour out the earth and find it. ”

Ruolan let out an "oh" and began to dig out the sand little by little with a shovel, and poured it on the green brick ground at her feet.

Dan Tang, who was sitting on the little vulture embroidering a handkerchief, put the needle and thread and handkerchief on a small vulture next to him, and also came over to squat down and said with a smile: "Fifth Miss, don't worry, if you can't lose it, it will definitely not make a hole and run away." ”

"Uh-huh......"

Ruohong took the small rake and also pulled in the soil, and before long, she found the little mouse rolling in the dirt under the soil.

The little mouse is not big, less than an inch, and it is difficult to find it buried in the soil.

Ruohong held it in her hand for Ruolan to see, and a little mouse covered with dirt lay on her hand, "What is this?" ”

"Found it!" Ruolan cheered.

Ruohong took it to the door, and then the rain on the eaves washed the little mouse clean, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains on it before handing it to Ruolan.

Ruolan stretched out two little hands full of dirt, looked at them, didn't pick up the jade mouse, followed Ruohong's appearance, reached out and washed her hands with the rain on the eaves, and turned around and shouted that Xiao Tao wanted a veil.

Dan Tang took out the handkerchief and wiped the rain off Ruolan's hands.

Xiao Tao was not in this room, she was taken to play checkers in the opposite room by Ruo Fei.

Xiao Tao heard Ruolan call her, and ran over from the opposite room without an umbrella, "What is the matter with the young lady calling the slave?" She said.

"It's okay, Dan Tangerine has already wiped me clean."

Xiao Tao looked at the dantang standing on the side, feeling as if she was useless, and felt a little lost in her heart, she would not be greedy for fun in the future, and she must stay by Miss's side to do things.

At this time, the door of the small courtyard was slammed, and a crisp and beautiful voice came in, "Is anyone home?" ”

"Who?" Dan asked aloud, grabbed his umbrella and turned to go out.

"Is Miss Mei at home?"

The voice asked again.

Ruohong and Ruolan stood at the door of the house with one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, wondering who was raining, could it be the master in the Fahua Nunnery?

Dan Tang took the umbrella and walked out, opened the door, and saw a girl she didn't know, wearing an emerald dress, holding an umbrella in one hand, holding a rectangular box between her elbows, and her other hand was raised to tap the door twice.

"Who are you?"

Qingzhu withdrew his hand and hugged the box in his arms, "My name is Qingzhu, isn't your eldest lady here?" The old lady of our family asked me to bring something to your little lady. She said.

"Sister Qingzhu,......" Ruolan ran out across the threshold, ran to Dan Tangerine's umbrella and stood next to her, looked up at the box in Qingzhu's arms, and said, "My eldest sister has gone home, not here." Is that for me? ”

Qingzhu bent down a little and said, "Yes." ”

"Ruolan, please invite the guests in."

When Ruolan heard Ruohong's words, she stretched out her hand to pull Qingzhu, "Sister Qingzhu, come in." She said.

Qingzhu was dragged into the yard by Ruolan, Dan Tang took two steps to the side, and held the umbrella on Ruolan's head, and Qingzhu also tilted the umbrella to Ruolan's side to block the misty drizzle falling from the sky.

Ruohong retreated into the house and let Qingzhu come in, and Xiao Tao stood aside a little, waiting for Ruolan to come in.

Qingzhu went to the door to let Ruolan into the house first, she handed the umbrella to Xiao Tao before stepping in, Xiao Tao took the umbrella and closed it, shook off the rainwater on it and stood at the door.

Later, Dan Tang closed the courtyard door before turning around and entering the house.

Ruolan ran to Ruohong's side when she entered the house, and said with a smile: "This is my third sister, my eldest sister has gone home." ”

Qingzhu entered the house and listened to Ruolan introduce Ruohong as her third sister, and she was busy blessing Ruohong, before she said: "Our old lady hasn't seen the little lady for a few days, thinking that she won't be able to come out to play these days, so I asked people to go back to the house and get this for the little lady to play." As she spoke, she opened half of the box she was holding and squatted down for Ruolan to see.

Ruolan took a closer look and saw that the box was lined with ochre-red Su brocade, and there were twelve porcelain dolls from official kilns in a row on it, including white and chubby boys and well-behaved little girls.

Each porcelain doll is three inches high, each porcelain doll has its own demeanor, some bow hands, some are blessed, some fan, some dance, the shape is realistic and very pleasing.

"It's so cute!" Ruolan's eyes flashed with little stars, she took one in one hand and turned left and right to look at it, and then looked at the inside of the box, eager to grow a few more hands and hold them all in her hands.

Ruohong also bent down to look, and reached out to take a porcelain doll of a female baby, "This is small, it looks better than Da Afu, and it is not too bulky to play." She said.

"What the third lady said is that because of this, the official kiln was made to play with the children in the families of the dignitaries." Qingzhu said with a smile, and looked at Ruohong with appreciation, this third lady is very transparent! You can see the trick at a glance.

Ruofei heard someone calling the door, and she was going to come out to see who was coming, but there were still a few moves to finish, and when she finished the last move, she asked Caidie to tidy up her clothes, bun and hairpin on her head, and then took the umbrella, and Shi Shiran walked over.

Ruofei handed the umbrella in her hand to Caidie behind her, walked into the house over the six-inch-high threshold, and asked, "Who is here?" ”

Qingzhu was beside the table, fiddling with a few porcelain dolls with Ruolan, and when she heard someone talking, she turned around and saw that there was another little girl, older than Ruolan, with an appearance of eight or nine years old.

Ruolan heard Ruofei speak, and said without looking back: "This is my fifth sister, who always doesn't play with me." ”

Qingzhu squatted slightly and said, "Hello Fifth Miss!" The maid is Qingzhu, and she was ordered by my old lady to deliver something to Miss Six. ”

Ruofei looked at Qingzhu, a very good-looking woman, seventeen or eighteen years old, still combing her double buns, she was a maid who had not left the pavilion, "I heard the eldest sister talk about it, how is your old lady?" The eldest sister originally said that she would take us over to see the old lady, but there were some things in our house, and she went back to deal with them, so she didn't bother to take us there. She said.

Ruofei walked closer to see what Ruolan was playing with, she also picked up a porcelain doll to look at, put it down and picked up another one to see.

"Thank you, Miss Five, for thinking about it, our old lady is fine." Qingzhu looked at Ruofei and said with a smile, this little girl is a clever girl, and she said so much in one breath.

She looked at Ruohong who was sitting at the table again, this was a person who understood in her heart, Qingzhu smiled and said, "I'll be out for a while, I should go back too." ”
