Chapter 8 Li Su's family has a daughter

The green calyx put the string of pearls on Li Jinshu's neck and compared: "Miss, you have to prepare well this time, you didn't care every time in the past, but this year you have already reached the end of the day, and you are going to start saying that people are married, this banquet is the best opportunity to show your demeanor, you grasp it, and there will be more people who say kiss." This string of pearls is just right to wear at a banquet, so if you pack up and dress up, it will definitely attract attention. ”

After listening to her, Li Jinshu looked at the string of pearls and raised his eyebrows: "Green calyx, you go and find a few peacock feathers, and weave the pearls and flower feathers into a necklace." ”

Green Calyx imagined the appearance of the necklace after weaving it and said: "Miss, it will indeed look good after weaving it like this, but the color is too bright and eye-catching, and it must be matched with extremely gorgeous clothes to look good. ”

Li Jinshu said: "It's okay, you follow what I said, find a craftsman, and just compile it like this." ”

After speaking, she touched her gurgling stomach and said, "Green calyx, there is nothing to eat, this banquet, what I drank the most was the water in the pool where the silver arowana swam was!" ”

Green Calyx smiled: "I've been preparing it for a long time, I'm afraid that Miss won't eat well at the banquet, and it's been warm on the fire, so I'll bring it." ”

The vines on the wall silently grew new leaves, and two months of life were spent in the grass and warblers.

Seeing that the annual Tangram Festival is imminent, the ladies of the Li family were arranged by the elders in their respective rooms to take a large number of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting courses, and they were locked in the room every day to work hard.

From time to time in the middle of the night, a few piano sounds can be heard. The garden, which I often play and enjoy on weekdays, was empty for a while. Occasionally, on the way to greet the old lady, they also quickened their pace, and after a few casual words, they hurriedly walked away and hurried back to complete the day's work.

At this time, Li Jinshu, who was the most leisurely, sat under the tree, drinking the newly brewed flower tea from the green calyx, eating the peach blossom cake that he had just bought from the dining house, and urging the equally idle Li Jinyu: "Hurry, run!" The wind is coming, run faster, put it higher, run! ”

A kite in the shape of an airplane floats in the air, climbing higher and higher with the wind until it hangs high in the air, flying quietly.

Eight-year-old Li Fatdun stretched out the back of his fleshy hand, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, his fat little face was flushed with tiredness, his mouth was also panting, but the corners of his mouth rose happily, and his eyes looked at Li Jinshu, full of praise.

A hand that got his wish reached over and touched the top of Li Jinyu's head, and said in a nice voice in front of him: "Awesome!" ”

Li Jinyu smiled, took away a cup of flower tea on the table, wiped the corners of her mouth, and reached out to pick up a piece of pastry.

Before he could stuff it into his mouth, he was blocked by a hand, Li Jinshu took off the pastry in his hand, broke off half of it and stuffed it into his mouth and said: "This pastry is too high in sugar, you can eat half of it, if you are hungry, eat some small pastries from the green calyx." ”

Green Calyx handed over a pastry box, which was neatly placed with beautiful pastry cakes: "Little master eat this, these are all made by Miss herself, Miss said that they are all sugar-free and oil-free, which is more beneficial to your physical growth." ”

"My sister made it herself?" After hearing this, Li Jinyu snatched the pastry box and hugged it in her arms, stuffed a large mouthful of pastries, and ate it like a hamster with her mouth puffed up.

Li Jinshu picked up the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth: "Eat slowly, don't eat too much, although it is sugar-free and oil-free, it is still quite high in calories, it will be lunch time in a while, it is better to eat some vegetables and meals for your body." ”

She asked, "What dishes did you eat recently, but you ate them according to the recipe I gave you?" ”

Li Jinyu nodded: "Yes, I follow what my sister said, eat more vegetables and vegetarian meat, and eat less fatty white meat." ”

Li Fatun stretched out his hand and pinched his arm, and said with some concern: "But sister, Qiu Ye said that if I don't eat more white meat, I won't grow strong, and I will be thin and small in the future, and I can't protect my sister, I found that my arms have been thinner recently than before, and my stomach is also deflated, if this continues, will I not grow taller, so how can I protect my sister." ”

Green Calyx made another cup of flower tea and handed it to Li Jinyu: "Little young master, you are the younger brother of Miss, why bother to listen to what the autumn leaves say, Miss will do whatever the young master says, and he will definitely grow into a handsome and dashing man in the future." ”

Li Jinshu said softly to Li Jinyu: "What the green calyx said is right, you don't have to care about what Qiu Ye said, eating too much white meat can only be too fat, you are now the time to grow your body, you need all kinds of balanced nutrition, dietary grain fiber is good for the body, if you are obese, it will lead to a variety of drawbacks." The real strength is not the heaviness of the body, but the strength of the body, and the growth is not fat, but muscles. You see that those people who are strong in martial arts who can lift thousands of catties in their hands are not fat and round, but on the contrary, they have well-proportioned, slender and fit. ”

Li Jinyu nodded as if she didn't understand: "My sister understands a lot, these are what the medical books say, although Yu'er doesn't understand some words, but Yu'er understands what her sister means, and when Yu'er grows up, she will also be a person with strong martial arts, and no one can bully her sister." ”

Li Jinshu flicked his forehead and said: "Go and pack up and go to the school, the homework taught by the master must be studied hard, don't forget to do the exercises I teach you every morning, find a day with good weather in a few days, let's go to a temple fair to play." ”

Li Jinyu responded happily and ran away in a hurry.

Lu Cao looked at Li Jinyu's figure running away and said: "Miss, the slave maid has more words, and the slave maid feels that Qiu Ye's mind is not pure, and it is not suitable to serve the little master closely, so it is better for the young lady to tell the old lady and change the person." ”

Li Jinshu asked rhetorically: "Will the old lady take care of it?" ”

Green Calyx sighed and said, "Yes, the old lady will probably not care, and will only tell the second lady to let her deal with it." But Miss, why is the second room in charge of our long room now, even if the second lady is now in charge of the house, but the maids in each room are all managed by each room, why doesn't the old lady give you the management of the long house? ”

Li Jinshu casually poured the leftover flower tea on the ground, poured himself a cup of new tea, and watched the spilled tea seep into the soil and disappear, leaving only a few tea leaves on the ground.

"In their eyes, I will get married in a few years, just like this spilled water, I am no longer a member of the Li family, and I can no longer benefit the Li family, why care about my feelings, it is better to hold the power of the family in my hands, and when Jinyu grows up in the future, she can also let them pinch it flat."

Lu Calyx said on the side: "Miss, since you see it so clearly, you should know that if you can marry well, you can make the little master's life in the mansion better." ”

Li Jinshu was noncommittal.

Green Calyx said: "Don't say anything else, just say that the tangram festival in front of you, you have to prepare well, you see the eldest lady, the third lady and the fourth lady, practice hard in the room every day, the second lady found a famous calligraphy master to teach the eldest lady to practice calligraphy, the third lady found a piano music master to teach the fourth lady to practice, and even the third lady has been doing poems and singing music songs in the courtyard from time to time these days. ”

"But you, every day, you either come to play with the little master, or sleep in the room, where is there a moment to prepare a banquet talent. There are only a few days left until the Tangram Festival, so hurry up and choose one, practice more and prepare more. ”

Li Jinshu asked: "The pearl string last time, can it be woven properly?" ”

Green Calyx nodded: "It's right, the slave is looking for the master with the best craftsmanship, and it is really beautiful after making it up, and the slave will take it for the young lady to try it on." ”

Li Jin said: "No need, you just put it away first." ”

As the day of the Tangram Festival approached, the ladies seemed to be preparing to participate in the big exam, and everyone checked the prepared clothes and clothes over and over again, for fear that there would be a business trip at that time.

In the courtyard of the second lady of the Li family, under the urging of the green calyx many times, Li Jinshu finally put on the clothes prepared for the banquet, combed the bun facing the sky, inserted the golden step, put on the string of flowers and pearls, and walked around in the courtyard to practice the etiquette of the palace.

The green calyx master is really looking for a good one, the white and translucent pearls with dazzling flower feathers, showing nobility and elegance, shining in the sun.

The maids in the courtyard are talking and admiring, this chain is so beautiful, it will definitely overwhelm the crowd.

Even Li Jinyu, who came to find Li Jinshu, saw it and praised it again and again.

Li Jinyu stayed for dinner at noon, Li Jinshu took him and a few maids in the green calyx to play eagles and catch chickens in the courtyard, Li Jinyu stood at the end, running back and forth with the shaking of the team, giggling, sometimes being caught by the eagle and dexterously dodging.

Li Jinshu looked at Li Jinyu's thinner and thinner figure with satisfaction in the past few days.

"Second sister, it's so lively here!" Li Jinyao walked in from outside, "Second sister, I'm looking for you to have something to discuss." ”

Li Jinshu smiled at the corner of his mouth and beckoned: "Okay, then let's come into the house." ”

Before she could sit down, Li Jinyao spoke impatiently: "I heard that the second sister has woven the beads from Sufu last time into a necklace, which is very beautiful, and my sister is very curious and wants to come and take a look." ”

Li Jinshu summoned the green calyx, took the flower feather pearl chain, and showed it in front of Li Jinyao's eyes.

Li Jinyao stared at the necklace in the box in front of her, and couldn't help but reach out and stroke it slowly, the beads were evenly rounded, and the flower feathers were exquisite and smooth, not only looking beautiful, but also feeling very good.

Li Jinyao's eyes lit up, and she reluctantly removed her hand and raised her head: "Second sister, this chain is really good-looking, lend it to me." ”

Before Li Jinshu could speak, the green calyx standing next to him grabbed the box and closed it, hugged it in his arms and said: "Fourth Miss, this is specially prepared by our Miss for the Tangram Festival, if you like it, after going to the palace for a banquet, come and borrow it from Miss." ”

Li Jinyao didn't care about the scramble of the green calyx, leaned back in the chair, crossed her legs, and said happily: "The second sister is going to be talked about, where do you still need to bother with the Tangram Festival." ”

The green calyx was surprised: "What? Our young lady is going to be said to be someone else? ”
