Chapter 37: Just Touching the Fish and Digging the Bird's Eggs

Sima Qu drank the last mouthful of soup, grabbed Zhong Xiaoniang's jade hand and said, "You put your heart back in your stomach, I can't be bitter for my children anymore." At the beginning, your parents didn't hurt and didn't let you bring anything to marry, I'm afraid that you won't be able to prepare any decent dowry for your daughter-in-law. When my sister-in-law gets married, I will prepare a double dowry for her, so that she will marry in a beautiful manner, and she will not lose her dignity in her mother-in-law's house. ”

Zhong Xiaoniang has always been "understanding" and "obedient" in front of Sima Qu, but Sima Qu still saw the slightest displeasure on her face, so she said some reassuring words and gave Zhong Xiaoniang a reassurance.

Zhong Xiaoniang was a little moved, and said with a smile: "Thank you husband for your love for your sister-in-law!" The fourth sister saw that she was about to give birth, and there was a lot of inconvenience in her movements, a few days ago I invited the Taoist to come over to open the altar for her husband to pray for blessings, and the four sisters said that they were not good at doing so and did not come. If the husband is free, he will go to listen to the snow pavilion and sit more, so that the fourth sister will be happy in her heart, and she will be in a good mood for the child in her womb. ”

Sima Qu's recognition of Zhong Xiaoniang's face jumped, and he nodded: "It's still Jia Yun thoughtful, there are beautiful wives and concubines in the family, what more can the husband ask for." It's not early, I really have to go to the Yali, Yunshu will go back to the house in the evening. ”

With that, he picked up the square towel on the table to wipe the scraps from the corners of his mouth, got up and walked towards the door.

Zhong Xiaoniang got up and sent him out of the door, watched him walk through the corridor, and waited for his figure to disappear at the end of the corridor before turning back into the house and continuing to have breakfast.

After the heavy snowfall, the weather clears up, and the sun at this time seems particularly friendly.

When Sima Daiyuan saw Sima Qu going out, she hurriedly took the chicken feather shuttlecock, pulled a group of maids in the house, and kicked the shuttlecock in the courtyard.

The shuttlecock was like a jumping little squirrel, jumping happily on Sima Dai's feet, and the maids next to her were responsible for counting for her.

She was like a fluttering butterfly, smiling and kicking.

Who knew that the strength on her feet was too strong, and the shuttlecock flew up the branches, and the snowflakes on the branches fell down. Sima Daiyuan screamed and hugged her head to dodge, but she couldn't avoid it, and her head and body were still sprinkled with snowflakes.

Seeing this, Jade hurriedly stepped forward to pat the snowflakes on Sima Daiyuan's head and shoulders, and said urgently: "Girl, are you okay?" ”

Sima Daiyuan looked at the snowflakes on her body, and then at the snowflakes falling from the branches, smiled even more wantonly, pushed away the jade and said, "Oops! I'm fine, that's the fun! Come on, let's go on, who hasn't kicked it? ”

Several maids standing in the courtyard were all depressed, and no one said a word.

Sima Daiyuan looked at the reactions of these maids, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she asked, "Why don't you say anything?" Let you kick the shuttlecock with me for a while, what are you doing with a straight face? ”

Jade replied: "Big girl, you are so skilled, the slaves and maids are not your opponents, even if you compare a hundred or a thousand times, the slaves and maids can only be defeated by your subordinates." The slaves and maids are so little bit of moonsilver, but half of them are lost to you, so you feel sorry for the slaves and maids, okay? ”

Hearing this, Sima Daiyuan turned her gaze to the broken silver and copper plate on the stone table next to her. Walking to the stone table, with a smug face, he picked up the broken silver on the plate and tossed it in his hand.

After a moment, she smiled and said, "You guys! It's really not fun, and you can't have fun just kicking a shuttlecock. Look at your faces, drooping, ugly to death. Isn't it just a few pieces of silver? As for this? Give it back to you. ”

Sima Daiyuan took the plate and distributed the broken silver in the plate to the maids one by one. The maids were grateful, and they all nodded their heads in thanks.

She returned all the silver to the maids, handed the empty plate to Jade, clapped her hands, and looked at the shuttlecock hanging on the branch with a thoughtful look.

She frowned and sighed, "Hey! It's really uncomfortable to be alone. Jade, take the shuttlecock off for this girl, and this girl is going to Lichun Pavilion to find an opponent. ”

"Yes!" Jade arrived, found a branch in the courtyard and picked off the shuttlecock hanging on the branch.

She took the shuttlecock and said to the maid behind her: "What should you do, Jade, go, accompany this girl to Lichun Pavilion." ”

She's really like a rabbit bouncing around, full of energy up and down. and her identity as the daughter of Yin of Luoyang Mansion, it is really unworthy, unworthy.

At this time, Zhong Xiaoniang and Wen's mother rushed over, and when they saw that Sima Daiwei was in a hurry to go out, Zhong Xiaoniang shouted: "Stop, where are you going crazy?" Didn't you go back to the house and learn calligraphy? This is the word you learned? ”

When the maids saw Zhong Xiaoniang coming, they all saluted together.

Sima Daiyuan heard the sound, stopped, frowned slightly, her face was full of reluctance, she sighed heavily, turned her head and said impatiently: "Auntie, where am I crazy, don't you just kick a shuttlecock!" What's more, it's in your own yard, and it's not going outside to show your face. Besides, I still kick while my father is away. ”

"What are you doing this year? Thinking that you are still in the age of dying, why don't you go down to the river to fish and go up to the trees to dig birds' eggs? ”

"I'd like to go, will you let me?" Sima Daiyuan went back casually.

Zhong Xiaoniang was so angry that she was speechless when she pointed at Sima Daiyuan.

"Auntie, don't get angry at every turn, anger will grow old quickly, and you don't want to become an old lady so quickly, right? In order for you to continue to be beautiful, I won't stay in Liuying Pavilion to make you angry, I'll go to Lichun Pavilion to find my second sister to kill time. Sima Daiyuan said, turned around and continued to walk in the direction of Lichun Pavilion.

Zhong Xiaoniang roared loudly, "You stop for me, don't go." ”

Sima Daiyuan stopped again, and before she could refute, she was preempted by Su Xiaoniang, who happened to be passing by.

Su Xiaoniang said in a strange manner: "Second sister, what are you doing here?" Why are you yelling at Dai Dai so much? ”

Zhong Xiaoniang said coldly: "If the third sister is bored, she can go to cockfighting and raise dogs, there is no need to stretch her hand to Liuying Pavilion, right?" I have disciplined my own daughter, what have you done? ”

Zhong Xiaoniang has to deal with Su Xiaoniang, so naturally she doesn't have the heart to care about Sima Daiyi anymore. Sima Daiyuan snickered proudly and dragged the jade away quickly.

Su Xiaoniang said with a smile: "Look at what the second sister said, no matter what this Dai Dai says, she will call me an aunt, I still feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart." When the second sister said this, she was born. ”

"Mother Wen, I have a headache, help me go back to the house and rest! Outside, it was either the barking of wild dogs, or the sound of self-righteous sparrows, which disturbed me to hear. Zhong Xiaoniang was in a bad mood, she was worried about Sima Dai's marriage, and she was not even in the mood to quarrel with Su Xiaoniang.

She stretched out her jade fingers and rubbed her temples, pretending to be sickly, and put her other hand on the wrist that Mother Wen had stretched out to support, and turned to walk towards her room.
