44 Mourning on the 10th day1
Gu Shi wondered, what's the matter with my cousin? I used to find some famous ladies for the third child, Gu Qiu, but my cousin didn't agree. Why did you decide such a small little girl, her eyes are clear, revealing a sense of wit.
Although it looks good, the age difference is too big.
Mrs. Chen glanced at her daughter behind her with some pity, and there was one less candidate.
"My son, this is a Peugeot. No wonder my picky brother and sister-in-law can take a fancy to it and set a marriage for you. If I didn't know, I wouldn't have seen it, but if I saw it today, I had to give a greeting gift. As she spoke, Mrs. Chen took off a well-watered bracelet from her wrist and handed it to the pigtails.
On this trip, the pigtails were very fruitful, and I received two bracelets and two pairs of heads. Xu Ying touched her light and also accepted a jade bracelet.
When the two returned to Rixiangyuan, the sky was already full of stars. Suddenly, a meteor crossed the sky, Xu Ying just glanced at it, and said casually, "There will be a funeral in this mansion in ten days." β
Pigtails looked at her in shock, "When did you have this ability?" β
Gu Qiu and Zhao Hongfei were not far away, and they also heard the conversation between the two of them. If it's someone else, that's it. But she is the daughter of Xu Shensuan, and she may not get some inheritance from her father.
Xu Ying said very casually: "What the photo book says, do you want it, I still have a few more books in my baggage." β
The pigtails hurriedly shook his head, "Don't, don't, it's to see those, my brother said that it's a knowledge that cuts off children and grandchildren, don't let me see more." β
"Bah, what nonsense. Where will the children be cut off, it's just that those who leak the secret of heaven will be punished. If you can see the heavens clearly and act accordingly, where will there be retribution. β
Zhao Hongfei said: "However, the book also says that the avenue is fifty, and the sky is forty-nine." The one who is missing is man-made. β
Xu Ying nodded, "Yes, no matter how good the fortune teller is, no matter how accurate the calculation is." It may also be because of the actions of some people that the entire horoscope has been changed. β
Zhao Hongfei said: "Therefore, I agree with two sentences, my life is up to me, and good and evil will be rewarded in the end." β
With his horns puffed out, he said, "You two don't talk about this." Mingzhu'er, I took a lot of food from the inner courtyard today, why don't we eat together. β
Early the next morning, Gu Ruizhu sent someone to come to Lixiang Courtyard to find Xu Ying and pigtails to play in the inner courtyard. There were more people who came this time, the three young ladies in Zhao Guogong's mansion, as well as Lin Ranqiu, Xu Ying, pigtails, and Chen Qiwu, the daughter of Mrs. Chen.
Even Zhao Jia, who has always loved to play with her sisters, also took leave from the school to come to see the new sisters and sisters.
The three young ladies of Zhao Guogong's Mansion sat together, Zhao Jia and Lin Ranqiu together, and Chen Qiwu, Xu Ying, and pigtails shared a table. Gu and Mrs. Chen sat in the main hall, watching the dance below.
Lin Ranqiu looked at Zhao Jia and said, "You should be careful, if you let your uncle know that you are so unprofessional, you actually skipped the school and came here to eat." Maybe I'm going to be scolded again, so don't let people save me when the time comes. β
"Good sister, I watched Zhao Hongfei from Lixiang Academy not go to the school to study before, but studied by himself. My father always asked me to see him more and learn more. So, I also learned from him and went to study in my own room. β
Lin Ranqiu smiled helplessly, but with some joy, "You will find excuses, so let's leave it like this for the time being." β
Zhao Jia talked here for a while, then pointed to Xu Ying and the three of them, and asked, "It's only been a few days, and three younger sisters have come to the courtyard." I don't even know each other, tell me about it. β
Lin Ranqiu poked him with his finger, lost the smile just now, stretched his face, and began to introduce, "That's Sister Chen Qiwu, the daughter of Aunt Chen, who is fourteen years old this year." The girl in pink in the middle is called Xu Ying, the small character Mingzhuer, and she is the fiancΓ©e of the uncle of the Zhao family in Lixiangyuan.
The smaller one next to her is the fiancΓ©e of the third son of the Gu family in Jinling. β
"It's Gu Qiu's cousin's fiancΓ©e, why does she look younger than me." Zhao Jia looked at the pigtails carefully, was surprised, and said, "Do you know where her home is and which mansion's daughter is?" β
Lin Ranqiu shook his head, "I haven't heard of this." β
"Didn't Sister-in-law Jin ask too?"
Lin Ranqiu said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Jin has something to do today, so she didn't come over. Why do you just ask Sister-in-law Jin if she asks if you ask it, but you don't ask others. Don't you think that others can't ask? β
"My sister is not annoyed, I just know that sister-in-law Jin has always been able to speak well and be the most inquisitive. Up and down the house, as well as relatives near and far outside the house, there is no one she doesn't know and doesn't care. β
Lin Ranqiu said: "Isn't it, Sister-in-law Jin knows, but she hides it for fear of being discussed?" After all, this bride is too young. β
Zhao Jia looked at her, and the more she looked at her, the more beautiful she looked, and she was even more beautiful than a few days ago.
Lin Ranqiu was a little ashamed by him, and quickly turned around, "What are you looking at, I've seen it several times a day, what's there to see?" β
"When I go to the clan school these days, I see less." When Zhao Jia said this, he took Lin Ranqiu's hand, left his seat, bypassed the musician and the dancing girl, and ran to Xu Ying and them.
"I may go to the clan study more in the future, and I'm worried that you will be bored alone. It just so happens that there are people in the yard again, meet in the past, and have fun in one place in the future, and you will not be so lonely. β
Lin Ranqiu glared at him, "When are you lonely, you are talking nonsense again." β
Zhao Jia knew that she was just talking about it, and her heart was soft, so she didn't argue with her, and generously admitted, "It's me who is nonsense, it's me who is nonsense." β
Although Zhao Jia is a boy, he grew up in a pile of girls. The girl's rouge gouache, incense stove, and coat and hat rings are all understood, even more proficient than Xu Ying and pigtails.
Because of these as common topics, several people chatted happily, and they couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of fruit wine.
When the banquet was dismissed, Xu Ying and the pigtailed faces were both red and fluttering, as delicate and lovely as the peach blossoms in March.
When the two were helped to Lixiangyuan by the girl, Zhao Hongfei and Gu Qiu were chatting with a man in Tsing Yi.
"Brother Zhao, we're back."
Zhao Hongfei stood up from the gazebo and walked towards them, looking at the appearance of the two, he knew that the two of them were having a good time and drinking.
"Mingzhu'er, ...... in the inner courtyard today"
Before he finished asking, he saw Xu Ying in front of him looking straight at the man in green clothes, with an extremely terrifying expression on his face, as if he was greatly frightened......
