Huai Sleeve was puzzled and asked: "Why do you make new clothes if you don't have a festival?" I can't wear so many clothes......"

Zhu Hetana smiled: "In a few days, I will take you out of the house, but in fact, it is not for this, I will also make clothes for you." "

"Out of the house? What to do? Huai Sleeve asked.

Zhu Hetana did not hide it, and said: "In a few days, it will be the birthday of Lord Ming Fujin, our mansion and the mansion over there have always been good friends, I went to pay my birthday and wanted to take you with me." "

Huai Sleeve was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Which Ming adult?" "

"Which other Ming adult? It's who lives in Shichahai, which one in the Ming Mansion! Jukhtana smiled and asked the maid to try on the clothes with her sleeves as she spoke.

He let others fiddle with his sleeves in a daze, but his mind was full of thoughts about whether he would see Nalan Rongruo that day.

Zhu Hetana saw that she looked stunned, thinking that she was nervous, and explained with a smile: "Don't think about it so much, although Ming Xiang is prominent in the official residence of the court, but the Fujin people of his family are extremely kind, and they often have contacts with our house. "

As she spoke, Zhu Hetana saw that her sleeves had been changed into a side-breasted slanted flag suit with a coupling color, and she looked up and down carefully, and couldn't help nodding her head again and again, with joy in her eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the birthday of Mingzhu Fujin has arrived, early in the morning, the small servants in the house set up several trailers, and followed Zhu Hetana on the first eight treasures and silk brocade car, several maids each held the birthday gift, got on the green silk set behind, and the attendant Goshha hugged and went to Shichahai.

It was the first time for Huai Sleeve to go out with the second sister, and when he saw this battle, it was really good. Zhu Hetana is dressed in a gorgeous red auspicious dress today, with a phoenix hairpin made of red gold in the middle of the head of the big winged flag on her head, trembling slightly, looking graceful and luxurious.

He wore a jade flag suit made that day, with two pretty heads, and a new style of delicate pink silk palace flower on the side, and a bird's-beaked hosta was still inserted next to his sideburns.

After a short time, the carriage and horse traveled to the shore of Shichahai, the mansion of the Ming Minister. A small servant had already handed over the name card to enter, and the chief housekeeper of the Ming Mansion personally greeted her and led the two sisters to the main hall.

There are a lot of female relatives who come to worship birthday today, the Ming Mansion is extremely lively, when the arms hold Zhu Hetana's arm and walk to the main hall, I see that there are many officials Fu Jin eating tea and chatting in the hall, and a woman with a kind face sits in the middle, looking at the dress, it should be today's birthday star, the blessing of Lord Mingzhu.

When Jukhtana stepped on the threshold of the main hall, the woman hurriedly came out from within, and said with a smile: "It really annoys me that you have come in person." With that, he hurriedly ordered the maid to serve tea, took Zhu Hetana's hand, and sat down beside the soft step where she was sitting.

Zhu Hetana sat down with her sleeves, and greeted several other Fujin and all the female relatives one by one, those officials and female dependents saw Zhu Hetana need to get up and salute, it turned out that Zhu Hetana was already the royal seal, leading the royal family, and the identity of others was naturally different.

Mingzhu Fujin treated Zhu Hetana very kindly, and when he saw that Huai Sleeve was dressed elegantly, he had already guessed her identity, and after looking up and down, he asked Zhu Hetana with a smile: "This is Fu Jin's sister, Huai Sleeve Gege from the north of Xinjiang, right?" "

Zhu Hetana nodded and smiled: "It's the sister." "

Mingzhu Fujin took his hand in his arms, looked at it carefully for a moment, and couldn't help but sigh and admire: "I just said that your sister is in the capital Fujin, and her conduct is top-notch, but I didn't expect this girl to be a figure carved by Baoyu, which can make us sigh more and more that people are old and yellow, and they can't look at it!" "

Huai Sleeve was blushing from the words, but still retreated back to her sister's side, and the women continued to laugh and gossip, and Huai Sleeve was bored listening to it, and couldn't help but lean out of the window to look out.

Mingzhu Fujin saw her thoughts and said with a smile: "If we women talk about it, she young girls don't like it, so it's better to go shopping." I also have a garden in the backyard, although it is not as beautiful as your house, but it is also a bit of fun. After that, he called the maid to come in and lead the way, and Zhu Hetana said a few more words, and Huai Sleeve went out of the main hall and went to the back garden.

This Ming Mansion is much bigger than the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, turn a few moon gates, pass through the corridor, and bypass two hanging flower doors, only to see carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and squatting beasts, the pane carving is exquisite, it is like a pavilion in the painting, looking at the sleeves, and thinking in my heart: It seems that the emperor really values this pearl Zaifu, and the mansion given to him is so luxurious!

The maid led the sleeves straight into the back garden, only to step into the garden, only to feel the green shade of the ground, green cover the sky, the eyes full of verdant make people look at the mood is very cool, is scattered at will, suddenly see a piece of flat lake blue lotus in front of you, far away can not see the edge, the sleeve favorite lotus, see this scene, can't help but run to the front, sigh: "What a beautiful lotus!" "

The maid followed closely and said with a smile: "This Houhai lotus in our house can be regarded as a unique in our capital, and even the Long Live Lord praised it, saying that only the Chengde Palace can be compared." "

Standing on a curved bridge of white marble, he was in a very good mood, and when he heard the maid say this, he asked, "Long live the lord often come to your house?" "

When the maid heard Huai Sleeve ask, she lowered her eyebrows and replied, "The slave doesn't dare to say this. "

Seeing her nervous face, Huai Sleeve knew that she was afraid of committing a taboo, so it was not difficult for her to raise her eyes and continue to enjoy the scenery.

Suddenly, there was an exquisite pavilion not far away, and there was a pavilion near the water next to it, so she ran over there, and the maid saw that the sleeve was going to the pavilion, and was about to speak, but the person with the sleeve had run away, and the maid had no choice but to follow closely.

Before going to the water pavilion, the sleeve smelled the elegant sandalwood smell, raised his eyes to look at the plaque of the lintel, only to see the three words "Qixia Pavilion", which is the penmanship of Chu Henan (note).

Seeing that the door of the wooden pavilion was open, and it was very quiet inside, he was about to step inside, when he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ear: "No trespassing!" "

Huai Sleeve hurriedly took a few steps back in fright, and looked around, but there was no one in sight. Just as he was about to take a step, suddenly a figure fell from the sky and stood in front of him.

Huai Sleeve was bluffed, took a few steps back, and looked carefully, the person who came was Nalan Rongruo, only to see him with a gloomy face, and his eyes were coldly looking at Huai Sleeve.

"Greetings to the young master!" The maid who followed her sleeves bowed to Rong Ruo.

Rong Ruo said coldly: "You stand down!" "

The maid stole a glance at her sleeve and quietly retreated. On the breezy shore of the back sea, only Rong Ruo and Huai Sleeve stand opposite each other.

"You, why are you looking at me like that?" Huai Sleeve was almost frozen by his cold breath, and he couldn't help but speak first.

"You don't know how to be polite, you trespass into other people's private houses, and you still have a good word!" Rong Ruo rebuked in a cold tone.

"You make it clear, who broke into your private house, obviously it was your mother who asked your maid to bring me here, you saw it yourself just now, why should you accuse me?" Huai cuffed in his mouth, but in his heart, he didn't know why he suddenly spoke so coldly, not as gentle and elegant as when he saw Zifeng Lou that day.

Rong Ruo stretched out his hand and pointed to the Linshui Pavilion, and said angrily: "Is this place also brought to you by others?" I can clearly see that it is you who trespass and quibble! "

Huai Sleeve glanced at the pavilion and refuted: "There is no notice posted in front of this door, how do I know if I can go in, I just thought it was a cool water pavilion, you are unreasonable!" "

Rong Ruo turned his face sideways and said, "Now that you know, don't go quickly!" "
