Duanmuxian casually greeted the head of the East Factory, said some polite words such as "where" and "false praise", and then arched his hand and said: "The old man still has something to do, so I will leave first." ”

The foreman of the East Factory also smiled and arched his hand, and at this time, the little chamberlain also came back with the hen, put a bolt on one of its chicken paws, and threw it into the carriage.

In the carriage, the three men and the chicken looked at each other, and the poor hen shrank into the corner of the carriage under the burning gaze of everyone, pretending not to exist.

The little chamberlain drove the carriage and turned around in the direction of Quanyu Street, and could hear the endless chatter in Duanmuxian's carriage, saying that "the son of a thousand daughters can't sit in the hall, and the son of a hundred gold doesn't ride a balance", "a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall".

It was a quote from the scriptures, a quotation from the side, and he talked all the way, and he didn't dare to say a word when he heard Duanmufei, and then he realized that the eldest brother was like his grandfather.

Duanmu Fei quietly exchanged a tacit look with Han Xing, and the cousins both stared down at the tip of their shoes very cowardly, looking very well-behaved.

After a stick of incense, the carriage returned to Duanmu's house, Duanmu Xian and Duanmu Scarlet got off the carriage in turn, Duanmu Xian did not forget to tell Han Xing: "Han Xing, don't mess around anymore, hurry back to the palace, don't go anywhere else!" ”

As he spoke, he also threw a warning look at the little chamberlain who was pulling the cart.

Han Xing was also afraid that Duanmu Xian would go to Duanmu Guifei to complain, so she might not be able to go out of the palace to play, so she could only respond sullenly.

The carriage drove out of Duanmu Mansion again with the "clucking" and fluttering sound of the hen, heading towards the palace.

Duanmu Fei showed a flattering smile at Duanmu Xian, and was about to return to Zhanqing Courtyard, when he heard Duanmu Xian drop three words: "Follow me." ”

Duanmufei could only obediently follow with his tail between his legs, and when Duanmuxuan was called to the outer study, Duanmufei was still drooping his head, sitting by the window like a poor little milk cat.

Duanmu Jun listened to Duanmu Xian at this time, and then he knew that his sister secretly followed Han Xing out of the door to play, and the two girls were also planning to go out of the city to go out, who wanted to meet Nanhuai spies at the city gate......

Duanmujun was shocked when she heard this, if it weren't for Duanmuxian's presence, she would have rushed forward to check her sister from head to toe.

After Duanmu Xian said a lot of tea, he felt a little dry mouth, and after drinking most of the tea, he gave the final punishment-

Grounded!

This is the first time Duanmufei has been punished and grounded in Zhanqing Courtyard, she is empty-minded, and she does not dare to object, so she obediently accepted the punishment and retired with Duanmujun.

After the sisters left, Duanmuxian's outer study suddenly seemed empty, and after the initial excitement and worry, Duanmuxian began to gradually calm down.

Thinking back to what he had just said to Duanmu Fei, he couldn't help but start introspecting again. The fourth girl is only eleven years old, which is the age of playfulness, in fact, it is just to go out and go green, no, and make another meritorious service...... Will you be too fierce to the four girls, in case you scare the four girls......

The more Duanmu Xian thought about it, the more he felt that he had scolded a little too much just now...... Ahem, he has to find a way to coax the four girls, lest she be afraid of seeing her grandfather in the future and dare not get close to her.

Duanmuxian thought as he rummaged through the study.

Last time, the four girls seemed to have taken a fancy to a bloodstone.

Last time, I asked myself for some Chengxintang paper.

Or send the four girls this imperial gift of Rui Yan and Bisong Yanmo, she will definitely like it.

"Someone!" Duanmu Xian raised his voice and called, and the big maid serving in the study hurried over to stand by.

……

So, as soon as Duanmu Jun and Duanmu Fei returned to Zhanqing Courtyard on the front foot, Duanmu Xian's big maid on the back foot arrived, and sent Rui Yan and Bisong Smoke and Ink from the Imperial Gift.

However, this time, even these things couldn't make Duanmu scarf.

Duanmujun looked at his sister's wilting appearance, he was very distressed, and took her little hand and comforted her softly: "Zhenzhen, there has been chaos outside recently, and I don't know how many Nanhuai spies are lurking inside and outside the capital...... Grandfather's tone was a little harsh, but that's for your own good. ”

Duanmu Jun said and secretly rejoiced that this time his grandfather had a black face, and he could now play a white face.

"Quack!"

The little starling outside the window heard the movement and knew that the two of them were back, flapping his wings and flying down from the branches in the courtyard, and flew straight to the small square table between the two, flapping his wings and jumping his feet, trying to attract the attention of the two masters.

Duanmujun felt that the little starling had come at the right time, picked it up and handed it to his sister, and coaxed his sister softly:

"Zhenzhen, it's good to be at home, Xiaohachi and Tuanzi can play with you!"

"Didn't you say that you were going to copy the Buddhist scriptures for Mrs. Chu before the Buddha Bathing Festival? It's only a month, and you can copy a little bit every day. ”

"By the way, Zhenzhen, how is your piano made?"

Duanmu racked his brains and tried to find something for his sister to do, but in short, the grounding was not negotiable.

From this day on, Duanmufei was locked up in the Zhanqing Courtyard every day and stayed at home.

On the first day of the grounding, Duanmu Fei drew three or four galloping horse drawings in one go.

On the second day of the grounding, Duanmu Fei copied the scriptures for a day, plus the previous copying, and half of the "Amitabha Sutra" had been copied.

On the third day of the grounding, Duanmu Fei played several games of chess with himself in the morning.

In the afternoon, Duanmu Fei counted her fingers boringly, today is already the seventh day of the new year, and it is the third day that she has been grounded!

Her fingers touched the little fox sleeping in the nest for a while, and her eyes stared blankly at the grass and trees outside the window......

It's a good spring.

What else can you do?!

"......

Outside the window, a gentle breeze blew through the dense plane trees, swaying as if in response to something.

Duanmu Fei suddenly noticed that the little fox that was curled up into a white hairball under her finger moved, raised her head suddenly, and opened a pair of ice blue eyes.

"Tuanzi ......" Duanmu Fei's voice did not fall, and she saw a black shadow flash in front of her, and when she raised her head again, she saw a blue lotus-colored figure standing outside the window and smiling at her.

"Quack!"

The little starling, who was playing by himself in the rear, screamed as if he had seen a ghost, flapped his wings and flew out of the inner room.

Although Duanmu Fei was also taken aback by Feng Yan's sudden appearance, compared to the little starling, she felt that her performance was much calmer.

The little fox glanced at Feng Yan outside the window, then lazily retracted it again, and calmly closed his eyes to recuperate.

"Feng Gongzi." Duanmu Fei consciously and calmly showed a polite smile to Feng Yan, which could be regarded as saying hello.

Feng Yan stretched out his hand and casually propped himself up on the window sill, and then he climbed through the window as light as a swallow, and almost in the next moment, he had already sat down on the circle chair next to Duanmu Fei.

That swaggering appearance for some reason made Duanmu Fei suddenly think of the white cat Snowball, when she was in the Xuanguo Mansion before, Xueqiu came to her, and she never walked through the main gate, did not take the right path, and loved to climb over the wall, climb the tree, and walk through the window.

Thinking of Snowball, the smile on Duanmu Fei's little face spread to the bottom of his eyes, and his eyes softened a lot.

Feng Yan looked at Duanmu's smiling little face, and felt that Zhen Zhen was smiling at herself, and couldn't help but be infected with a smile, just looking at her, and forgot to speak.

The croaking of the little starling gradually faded away, and the room was quiet, and the little fox curled up in a ball opened its eyes again, looked at the two "giggled" humans strangely, and continued to close its eyes.

Duanmu Fei was waiting for Feng Yan to express his intentions, but seeing that he had not spoken, he had to ask tentatively: "Feng Gongzi, what is the matter with you coming?" ”

Of course, Feng Yan didn't have anything to do, he just came to Duanmu's house to see her.

However, the "excuse" he had already thought of in advance.

He cleared his throat and said casually: "Fourth girl Duanmu, I have already given the new fire gun drawings to the craftsman, and it should be made within half a month." When the time comes, how about I ask you to come and test the fire gun again? ”

Feng Yan took the opportunity to make the next invitation, and his handsome face was full of expectations.

"So fast?" Duanmu blurted out, instinctively wanting to accept the invitation of Xia Fengyan, but when the words came to her mouth, she thought of something and swallowed the words back.

Duanmu Fei's whole person was sluggish, and his shoulders collapsed.

"I can't go." She shook her head and said pitifully, "I haven't been able to go out recently, on the fifth day of the new year, my cousin Hanxing and I went out of the city to go out, and we happened to be caught by my grandfather...... For the past two days, my grandfather and sister have banned my feet. ”

Seeing her wilting like a boring little milk cat, Feng Yan only wanted to take her out to play now, and was worried that if she was caught again, the crime would be increased.

Feng Yan thought about it and jumped up without warning, but before Duanmu Fei could react, he saw that he had already turned over and walked out of the window.

"Wait a minute."

After Feng Yan left this sentence, without waiting for Duanmu Fei to speak, he quickly climbed to the courtyard wall by a thick plane tree, but after only three breaths, the green lotus-colored robe had disappeared from Duanmu Fei's field of vision.

If it weren't for the black feather that the little starling was scared off just now and lying quietly on the bluestone slab floor that was as bright as a mirror, Duanmu Fei almost suspected that everything just now was a dream.

Duanmu Fei thought about it, stretched out his finger and poked the little fox's soft abdomen, the little fox opened his eyes "impatiently", and curled up in a ball again in a different position, only this time, with his back to Duanmu Fei, with a small appearance of "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you".

Your own dumplings are so cute! Duanmu looked at the little fox with a stupid gaze, and the inner room was quiet again......

Drowsiness seemed to be contagious, and gradually, Duanmu Fei also felt a little sleepy, and yawned lazily. She was hesitating to take a nap when the little fox's ears moved and she looked up again.

This time, Duanmu Fei vaguely guessed something, and sure enough, she heard the plane tree in front of her make a thudding sound, and the next moment, the young man in the blue lotus-colored robe appeared in front of her again, with two more small things in his hand.

Two slender bamboo sticks are connected to each other by a thin rope, and there is also a spinning top-like thing.

Duanmu blinked and said, "This is an empty bamboo?" ”

She's never played with empty bamboo, and she'd happened to see children outside playing with this before...... Seems to be a lot of fun!

Duanmu Fei was suddenly a little eager to try.

The corners of Feng Yan's lips hooked, and he smiled: "You watch first, I'll teach you to play." ”

Feng Yan grabbed the two bamboo sticks with both hands, and somehow shook the rope, and the top-shaped empty bamboo was thrown away, higher than his head, and the empty bamboo rotated in mid-air, whistled at the same time, and then fell again, landing steadily on the thin rope, and then rolled down the rope, and flew up again......

Even the little fox who was sleeping was attracted by the whistle of the empty bamboo, crawled out of the nest, and obediently squatted on the table to look at Feng Yan and the empty bamboo in his hand.

Between the rope and the bamboo stick, the small hollow bamboo sometimes leaps, sometimes falls, sometimes glides, sometimes flips...... is as flexible as a part of Feng Yan, allowing him to manipulate as he pleases, and it also attracts the eyes of Duanmu Fei and the little fox to chase after the empty bamboo, left and right, up and down, and it is dizzying to watch.

After playing with half a cup of tea, the empty bamboo fell steadily into Feng Yan's right palm.

"Feng Gongzi, you are really amazing!" Duanmu Fei praised without hesitation, applauded him excitedly, and the little fox squatting on the table also shook his fluffy tail on the side, as if he was echoing something.

Feng Yanwan smiled, as if he had received a great compliment, and his phoenix eyes were as bright as thousands of stars in the night sky.
