The girl who was playing the swing under the lilac tree came in, and Mrs. He asked her to salute the palm beads.

The girl stepped forward to salute Zhangzhu, and Zhangzhu hurriedly returned the salute, but she didn't know what to call it.

Second Mrs. He asked Fang Chen, who was holding the pearl, again before she smiled and said, "Then I should call Sister Fu." ”

The palm beads were called by Sister He. The young lady of the He family is named Shuanghua, she is delicate and elegant, and she loves to laugh very much, and she is a very sweet sister.

Because of Zhangzhu's sudden visit, the He family didn't have time to prepare a house for her alone, so the second wife asked Zhangzhu to temporarily live in Shuanghua's yard, anyway, the courtyard where Shuanghua lived was not small, and he happened to have a companion.

Shuanghua is lively, and a self-cooked, and after a while, she got acquainted with Zhangzhu, she took Zhangzhu's arm back to her room, and asked Zhangzhu along the way: "Where are you from?" ”

"I'm from Yang County."

"Yang County? Where is Yangyang? "Shuanghua has never been out of Beijing in his life, and he doesn't know anything about the outside world.

Zhangzhu had no choice but to explain: "A small county town below Shoufeng Mansion. ”

When Shuanghua heard this, he smiled: "Shoufeng Mansion I know, that is the territory of the Ten Kings' Mansion, and Brother Jinshi once said that he would take me to Shoufeng to have a look." It's a pity that after so many years, he never took me there, and I have been waiting for him, and he probably forgot about it. ”

Zhangzhu took advantage of the situation and asked, "What is the relationship between your He family and the Ten Kings' Mansion?" ”

Shuanghua replied with a smile: "How can our family climb the feudal palace, but Brother Jinshi and my father are very familiar with each other, and my mother said that our He family has received his favor. ”

"I see."

Zhangzhu Xindao doesn't seem to be a relative, just an ordinary friend, since it's just a friend, she can't stay here for a long time, and she has to find a way to move out in a few days.

Zhangzhu pondered in his heart and followed Shuanghua to this side of the yard, where a large green broad-leaved plantain was planted, and the sun shone on the banana leaves a little dazzling.

Shuanghua instructed the maid to prepare the futon and the like, she saw that Zhangzhu was just a simple coarse cloth burden, but she was afraid that there were only two changes of clothes in the baggage, so she said to Zhangzhu: "My fourth sister got married a few years ago, and the He family is the only one left with me who has not yet married a daughter. Fortunately, Sister Fu came, and we were also companions. ”

Shuanghua's boudoir is no different from other boudoir women, it is clean and tidy. There is a picture of a red plum on the wall, and the palm beads have taken a few more looks, Shuanghua smiled and said: "This is still the winter before last when the sisters enjoyed the plum together, my cousin Cai painted it herself, and I liked it and she gave it to me." Sister Fu, what do you think? ”

Zhangzhu nodded and praised: "Naturally, it is excellent." ”

Shuanghua smiled again and said: "Cousin Cai is good at Danqing, and her flowers, birds, fish and insects are especially unique. Sister Fu, why do you say that they are also a pair of hands, why can't I learn her skills? ”

Seeing Shuanghua's words, Zhangzhu couldn't help but comfort her: "Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, why do you need to compare them together?" I can't draw, I can't write poetry, it's not the same. ”

Shuanghua smiled and said: "Sister Fu is very right, it can be seen that there is no need to compare with others, it is enough to see your strengths and weaknesses." ”

Shuanghua loves to talk very much, and asked Zhangzhu about Yuan Zhen's situation, and inquired about Yuan Zhen's body carefully.

"I'm still recuperating, and things seem to be getting better."

When Shuanghua heard this, he hurriedly closed his eyes, folded his hands and chanted: "Amitabha, I hope everything is all right." ”

"He hasn't been to the capital for almost three years, so I want to see him again." Shuanghua's face couldn't help but feel a little lonely.

The palm beads were really seen on the side, as long as she talked about Yuanzhen, Shuanghua would be particularly focused, looking at the look of the girl in front of her, she suddenly remembered Ruolan, Shuanghua and Ruolan both had a crush on Chu Yuanzhen. She has arrived in the capital, but she doesn't know where Ruolan is.

The He family was really hospitable, and the wives hurriedly ordered the kitchen to prepare good dishes to entertain Zhangzhu, who finally tasted the taste of hometown after a few years, and his heart was both warm and a little sour.

However, Zhangzhu always felt that she had seen Mrs. He Er when she was still Xie Ruoyi, but she couldn't remember who this person was, and then she finally asked Shuanghua before going to bed.

"Where is the second wife's maiden home?"

Shuanghua smiled and said: "My grandfather's family is Huilongcai's family. ”

"Is your mother's surname Cai?"

"Yes, Sister Fu is coming to the capital for the first time, and she is definitely not familiar with this side." Shuanghua said and enthusiastically introduced to Zhangzhu: "Huilong is a county not too far from the capital, my maternal grandfather raised four children, I have an uncle, two aunts, and my mother is the second. My uncle is now a bachelor in the Mandarin Palace. ”

A bachelor with the surname Cai? Zhangzhu still didn't have much impression, Shuanghua continued: "I like to go to my uncle's house to play, grandma loves me the most, even my aunt treats me very well, but my favorite is Cousin Cai." But later, Cousin Cai married into the Xun family, and she didn't come and go as much as before, and she hadn't come to see me for a few days. ”

Zhangzhu didn't particularly care about Shuanghua's words, until she heard the words "Xun family", these two words were particularly harsh to her, because as far as she knew, the most famous Xun family in the capital was the Xun Shao family, so she couldn't help but ask: "Xun family?" This surname is rare. However, I heard that the commander of the Pacification Division seems to be this surname, but is it a family? ”

That Shuanghua replied with a smile: "Sister Fu guessed, my cousin-in-law is the commander of the Zhenfu Division." ”

Palm Zhu's body trembled, and for a brief moment, a blank appeared in his mind, but soon, this situation did not last long. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, this world is so small.

Zhangzhu was worried that Shuanghua would be suspicious and it was not easy to inquire carefully, so he just asked lightly: "I heard that Lord Xun is young and promising, saying that he has already climbed to a high position when he is only twenty, and he has already become married, but I don't know what year he became a parent?" ”

Shuanghua did not doubt the palm beads, and there was one thing to say: "My cousin married my cousin-in-law on the twenty-second day of the eighth year." ”

Yuanjia eight years of wax month? It's only been a month since she died, and he turned around and married someone else?

Zhangzhu didn't ask any more, she and Shuanghua were lying back to back, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. The person who once picked the magnolia for her was in love with her, when did he change his heart? Perhaps for Fu Zhangzhu, the answer will never be found, Xun Shao is no longer her fiancé, but her enemy. Since the day he broke into the general's mansion with his subordinates, there was no more love between them, only hatred.
