The corners of Yun Kang's eyes moved suddenly, and he bothered his waist fiercely, pretending to be sleepy. Gently put your hand on the back of your hand and rub it over and over again, as if to calm your inner restlessness.

Taichangqing Mansion and Qin Guogong Mansion are brothers-in-law, Ankang's mother, Da Xiao, is the sister-in-law of Qin Luoxue's stepmother Xiao Xiao, and Qin Luoxue and Ankang are nominal cousins.

Xiao Xiao married into the Qin Guogong Mansion after Qin Luoxue's biological mother died of illness, Qin Luoxue was raised under her knees since she was a child, although she was not related, but the mother-son relationship is very deep, Xiao Xiao's has not come out for many years, Qin Guogong does not take concubines, and the six daughters in the family have all been out of the cabinet, only Qin Luoxue has a son, which is really loved by the whole family. The heirs of the Ouyang family are not luxuriant, but there are five sons and two daughters. The eldest son Ouyang Zhan was released as an official, not leaving Jiankang, the second son Ouyang Che died early, and the remaining one is the third son Ouyang Yuan, who just turned nine years old this year. Ankang is the only daughter of Da Xiao's family and the only daughter in the family, different from Yunkang's birth status, as a concubine, she has been cared for in every way since she was a child. And she is very lucky, not only has a noble background, but also gave birth to a beautiful skin, she was stared at by the nobles in Beijing at a young age, waiting for her to grow up, to be able to pick out the best match among the young talents.

Yun Kang understands that in fact, the Ouyang family intends to be close to the Qin State Mansion, even if he has not released the news to the outside world, but seeing the frequent contacts between the two families, he can see one or two eyebrows.

Yun Kang laughed, and only replied after a long time: "The little grandfather is actually quite good, and he is ...... with the second sister."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" An Kang got up, his little face flushed, he looked around shyly, and only then did he shyly say after confirming that there was no one in the room: "How old are you to be able to see this, what a mismatch." I'm not ashamed! ”

Yun Kang hesitated, stared at her for a moment, and said with a smile: "I haven't finished speaking, how can the second sister know what I said next?"

Ankang became more and more ashamed, stomped his feet, and said with his eyes open and hateful: "I don't tell you anymore, you always divert my words." After saying that, he left in a hurry, fleeing like a thief.

Yun Kang watched her figure disappear into the hallway, retracting his gaze, his eyes that were still bright suddenly darkened. got up and took back the porcelain cat doll, looked at it in a daze, and didn't look up after a few soft calls.

"Miss, what's wrong with you?"

A sigh that only the flickering candle knows.

"Zhanlu, please bring me that little box of pear blossom wood."

"Yes." Without hesitation, she quickly took the box back, and Yun Kang took it, as if he had made up his mind to open it.

Zhan Lu consciously took a few steps back, but still couldn't help but be curious, squinting at the objects in the box that Yun Kang regarded as treasures. The pumpkin-sized box didn't hold much, but it was still a little empty, except for a packet of unidentified objects wrapped in straw paper, and nothing else.

Zhan Lu straightened her eyes with some disappointment, and said bluntly: "I thought that my young lady finally opened her mind, knew how to take care of some money, and accumulated a dowry, and wanted to see a box full of good treasures hidden by you, but who knew that her neck was stretched, and I didn't see anything good."

Yun Kang was astringent and didn't say a word.

Zhan Lu hated that iron could not become steel and said: "Miss, I didn't say you. You have such a cold temperament and have no quarrel with the world, you really can't do it. Even if you don't look at the present, think about the long term. After a few years, you will reach the age when you reach the age of kissing, and then there will be a place to use silver, even if you go to your husband's house, you should have money to eat. ”

Yun Kang knew her good intentions, and he didn't reply. Staring at the box on the table, he slowly took out the half bag of things from it.

Zhan Lu got closer to see that it was half a bag of sugar lotus seeds that had become moldy for unknown years.

Zhan Lu frowned: "It's all moldy"

The candy paper has turned yellow and blackened, and the moldy lotus seeds are mixed with the sugar coating of the diluted pulp, giving off a pungent smell. Yun Kang fumbled with the candy paper and muttered to himself: "I haven't eaten this sugar lotus seed for many years, I don't know what it tastes like now."

When Zhan Lu heard her talk about it, she thought she was greedy, and hurriedly said, "If Miss wants to eat, I'll go to the street tomorrow morning to buy it."

Yun Kang smiled faintly and said, "I can't buy it, I can't buy it anymore."

After the words fell, he put the thing back in the box, and held the white porcelain jade cat to see it, and after thinking about it again and again, he finally put it in the box, and then closed it calmly, and it was too late to stop it.

Zhan Lu knew that she couldn't persuade her, and she was anxious, and finally her young lady was able to open up, and when she saw the little grandfather showing her goodwill, she dissipated clean in a blink of an eye, frowned and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what are you doing, the little grandfather specially sent a birthday gift, why is it locked up before it is hot?" Aren't you very happy to receive it earlier, and you played for a long time, and the second lady said that the kung fu of the conversation changed your mind, miss, what do you think. ”

Yun Kang looked at Zhan Lu, his expression was soft, and the words were clear: "Some thoughts, sooner or later, it will be broken."

……

……

In the blink of an eye, another year will pass, and the winter in Nanzhan is not cold, and there is still no snow.

Time flies, and winter goes to spring in a hurry.

The hairpin festival on the tenth day of the first month of March in Nanzhan generally begins to prepare on the seventh day of the first month of March. This is the busiest time of the year for my daughter's family, which is comparable to the end of the year.

On the day of the hairpin festival, the daughters who are about to leave the pavilion or are about to meet are all dressed up, appliqué yellow to the mirror, dotted lips, and painted eyebrows. After getting the permission, they went to the Yunhu River to fold peach blossoms, went to worship the god of flowers under the peach blossom tree, and prayed for personal marriage.

On this day, the unmarried man has a flower mask in his hand, and the girl who has a sweetheart will fold a bunch of bifurcated peach blossoms to give to her sweetheart, and the man will understand the other party's mind when he gets the flower, and if he is intended, he will give the mask in his hand to the woman, if he is unintentional, he will not return the flower directly, but will always hold the flower in his hand, and seek the right time to throw the flower away.

If a woman can't wait for a mask, she knows she's hopeless.

The hairpin festival is not only a grand day for folk women, but also for the ladies in the palace, and they also take this day very seriously. The palace ladies set up offering tables in the place where peach blossoms were planted in the palace, and sincerely prayed to the god of flowers. The royal ladies and eunuchs with a wide range of activities can go to the Yunhu River to fold peach blossoms.

With the approach of the hairpin festival, Zhanhua Palace gradually became lively, and the flowers were busy for a few days, just responsible for the collection and selection of gifts, as well as the occasions I had to attend on the day of the festival, and the logistics of cleaning up the yard after the festival...... No matter how big or small, she has to plan it one by one.

On the ninth day of the first month of March, after all the ceremonies were over, I went to the palace as usual to greet the Southern Emperor. Nandi is a kind person, not like my ordinary emperor, unsmiling, majestic and terrifying. Although he loves the wind and the moon, and is a little old and disrespectful, there is no shortage of easy-going and kind old men.

With Yu Gui's company, Duobu stayed in Zhanhua Palace to help Hua Fu, and did not go out with me.

When he arrived at the Qingle Palace, Nandi sat on top of the chief and drank tea, which he could see at a glance. Concubine Tao was also there, but Concubine Xian still didn't appear, so she went to prepare for the Hairpin Festival. Tingsheng and Bai Zhaoyi sat down, their faces gentle and calm.

Tingsheng looked at me and smiled, and I looked at her and smiled, she didn't remember who I was, but I remembered her. Now that we meet again, Pingduan has a feeling that something is wrong.

During the banquet, Nandi said a lot of words, all of which were daily greetings. To be honest, I didn't understand it too much, he used words and words, and he spoke in chapters, as if he was endorsing, saying something that made people think hard, I really couldn't understand it with my cultural heritage, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, I had to smile and nod.

Nandi may also see that I heard it like a cloud, and said with a loving smile: "Your knowledge, where does it seem that Hao Fuzi taught it, and I went to Shangshuyuan for two years, but I didn't see any results." I'm afraid I'm scolding you, so you nodded and said yes in a daze. Don't say it's a student of Hao Fuzi when you go out, he doesn't feel ashamed, I feel embarrassed. ”

I pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Hao Fuzi has already said a lot about me on weekdays, and now you are coming to me again." I've tried really hard, Your Majesty, but I just can't understand it. Besides, Your Majesty, you love me so much, so you won't really scold me, even if you scold, that's also for my good, picking up good words and scolding me. ”

Without waiting for Nandi to speak, I began to pat myself again.

Although I don't know how to learn, and the elegance I can speak is limited, but among the few idioms I master, I also pick up the good ones to learn. After the bombardment of these sweet words, the old man of Nandi was coaxed to a red face, and he became more and more loving. Nandi patted my hand again and again, and said with a smile: "You girl, you haven't learned the others, but it's a set of things to please me."

Nandi laughed, stroked his beard and was pleased, stared at Sheng, listened to Sheng, and smiled, but bowed his head.

Tao Guifei had a cold face, as if she was about to say something, and I suddenly felt uneasy. An Ping tugged at my sleeve and said to me secretly: If you shoot well, you can always make people smile.

I would care, winked at her, and then quickly turned to Tao Guifei and smiled: "Guifei Niangniang, I haven't seen you for a few days, you are becoming more and more beautiful." How can this be born? I feigned distress.

Yu Guiyi stumbled, almost lost his temper and fell out of his seat, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said softly: "If you praise people, you can't be tactful, be smart."

Am I not right?

But I see that Tao Guifei obviously eats my set very much. As soon as I had finished complimenting, she hurriedly asked, "What does the princess mean by this?"

I smiled sweetly and said, "I'm with you, obviously I'm a junior, but where do you look like an elder, it's clearly a sister." In this way, you are young, but you can make me look old. Tao Guifei was stunned at first, and suddenly burst into laughter, but Tingsheng, who was watching the excitement on the side, couldn't hold back her laughter, and shivered very implicitly, Bai Zhaoyi couldn't hold back in the end, and laughed, this smile didn't matter, but it startled Tao Guifei beside her, and Tao Guifei instantly had a cold face.

In my memory, although Bai Zhaoyi is said to be weak in front of people, she always gives me the feeling of being cold, ice and snow beauty, I rarely see her laughing, and over time, I thought she couldn't laugh. I heard that this Bai Zhaoyi is the treasure forest of the former prince Bailifu, and after the failure of the Bailifu Palace, for some reason, it was included in the harem by the Southern Emperor.

I don't know if this is true, if this is the case, then the Southern Emperor is too disregardful, too much.

Tsk, what a fat and thin emperor.
