Chapter Twenty-Seven: There Are Two Little Beans at Home
Li Dynasty Tongzhou Yifu.
"Yi Huanhuan! If you don't come down yet...... I'll just tell my sister! A little red-faced boy in the garden said to the little girl who was climbing up the branches, and his face was so red that he wished he could go up and get the man down.
The little girl who had climbed half along the branch was a little hesitant when she heard this, and looked at the shuttlecock hanging on the branch in front of her that was about to arrive very unwillingly, and her little face was full of dissatisfaction: "Yi Lele!" What are you going to do but sue! Didn't my sister let you paint red in the study? If you sneak out, I'll sue my sister too! ”
Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, this afternoon Yi Huanhuan was learning to kick the shuttlecock in the garden, and he didn't want to play too much and kicked the shuttlecock into a shuttlecock snatch, Yi Huanhuan's big girl Licorice threw the shuttlecock to the tree. After that, Licorice went to find someone to help pick up the shuttlecock, Yi Huanhuan waited impatiently and climbed the tree by himself, and as soon as he was halfway up, he was bumped into by Yi Lele, who sneaked out of the study by avoiding the little girl. Yi Lele was frightened when he saw that Yi Huanhuan was about to climb onto the branch.
Yi Le rolled his eyes with a grunt, and finally pretended to compromise and said: "Nacheng, then I won't sue, and you can't sue either!" We're even! The childish man pretended to be a "then spare you" expression.
"What's the complaint?" Yi Xiangxiang was wearing a long green dress, and the cuffs were embroidered with silk threads of the same color with a few lotus patterns; With a wine golden yellow and white jade bracelet on his wrist, crystal clear with a quiet charm, a little sprinkled golden yellow adds a bit of squeamishness, making it more luxurious; Her long jet-black hair was only pulled up with a plum hairpin, and she looked very lazy.
Yi Xiangxiang suddenly appeared behind Yi Lele, startling him with a spirit, and then Yi Lele rushed over and hugged Yi Xiangxiang, and was about to be coquettish.
Yi Xiangxiang tore her younger brother away and said, "This trick is useless to me!" You think I'm your mother? Hum! I didn't practice my words well, so I actually ran to the garden to play, and I wrote five more pages later! ”
"Ahh Sister! "Yi Lele shouted! is like Yi Xiangxiang, who was forced to practice calligraphy by Yi Luochuan back then, which makes the latter feel very fulfilled, and it is still a good taste to be a sister! Yi Xiangxiang thought so.
Yi Xiangxiang led Yi Lele to the tree, she looked up at the little girl carved on it, even if she was still a child, she could see the future style. This is from the same mother's womb, how can the gene mutate like this? Fortunately, although his appearance was ordinary in the ancient times when there were many beauties, it was good that he was not ugly, otherwise if this brother, sister and younger brother were much better looking than themselves, it would really make people jealous!
Huan Huan Le, the pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, is the younger sister and younger brother of Yi Xiangxiang's mother, and now the ninth lady and tenth son of the Yi family.
Yi Xiangxiang looked at the uninhabited garden a little annoyed, if something really happened, it would be okay! It seems that his mother has not punished the servants in the house for a long time, but they have all been derelict in their duties.
"Huanhuan, if you don't come down again, I'll let someone carry you to the branch! Then you're going to be watching the moon in this garden tonight! Yi Xiangxiang threatened.
Yi Huanhuan was really stunned when she saw her sister, it is said that since she was born, she and Yi Lele have been favored in every way in this family, and even her brother Yi Luochuan, who has always been one-sided, is obedient to the two of them, but her sister Yi Xiangxiang is a master who does not eat firewood, rice, oil and salt, which makes them very helpless.
It's not that Yi Xiangxiang is bad for them, but it's too good for them! Fine silk and satin, fine snacks to eat, and a lot of chic doll objects, which were piled up in their house as if they didn't need money! So, firstly, they eat people with soft mouths and short hands, and secondly, Yi Xiangxiang can see in a second that they pretend to be coquettish and escape punishment every time, so the two sisters and brothers listen to their sister Yi Xiangxiang the most! Seeing this, the Lin family handed over the growth and education of his children to Yi Xiangxiang. Since then, Yi Xiangxiang has started the days of singing and fighting with Huan Xile and the two little beans!
"Sister, I'...... I can't get down! Yi Huanhuan hugged the trunk of the tree and said to Yi Xiangxiang under the tree aggrievedly, the latter naturally knew that this girl was pretending to be pitiful, but he was also afraid that she would really accidentally fall down; She looked at the four places and saw that there was no one around, and a black figure broke out in the air and hugged Yi Huanhuan down steadily, and took the shuttlecock and handed it to Yi Xiangxiang, and then turned around and disappeared.
Before Yi Huanhuan could react, she stood on the cobblestone path in the garden, she hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her sister's sleeve and asked, "Sister, sister, who took me to fly just now!" ”
"That's my sister's friend. Don't change the subject! I confiscated this shuttlecock today, and I'll pay you back when you know it's wrong! Yi Xiangxiang told her sister not to change the topic, but she not only changed the topic, but also lied.
Yi Huanhuan's number of segments was naturally not as good as Yi Xiangxiang's, and her eyes suddenly turned to the shuttlecock: "Sister, I know it's wrong now!" Give it back to me! As he spoke, he jumped up and took the shuttlecock.
Yi Xiangxiang was a little blinded, she didn't expect Yi Huanhuan to admit her mistake so simply, but since she put out her sister's money, she naturally couldn't say that she would let it go, so she said: "If you rob it again, you can't kick the shuttlecock in the future!" ”
Yi Huanhuan compromised: "Okay, that sister will help me keep it first." Sister, what are we going to eat tonight? I want to stay in your Yongle Residence today! ”
Yi Xiangxiang listened to her sister's words, and no matter how she listened to it, she felt that her concubine was going to be honored by the emperor. She looked at Yi Huanhuan and said, "Okay, but you can't kick the quilt!" Lele also went with his sister, there were vinegar balls for today's dinner, I called Leqi to send someone to pack it in the joy building, but it was delicious! ”
Le Qi is now the lady in charge next to Yi Xiangxiang, after Yi Xiangxiang asked Le Qi about the meaning of Le Qi three years ago, she probed Zhou Jiaotou's tone again, and then asked the Lin family to come forward to match Le Qi to Zhou Jiaotou, the head of the Yifu guard. Although Zhou Jiaotou is older, he is extremely stable in doing things for others, and Yi Xiangxiang is also trustworthy in his character, so he is willing to give him the big girl. And this marriage is not Yi Xiangxiang pulling the red line, because Leqi has already secretly promised Zhou Jiaotou, and Zhou Jiaotou himself is also interested in Leqi, but the latter has not dared to show his heart because the other party is a powerful big girl next to Miss Eight.
In fact, if it is placed in an ordinary person's mansion, the chief of the guard takes a fancy to the maid who can ask for marriage, which is not a high climb. However, because of Yi Xiangxiang's relationship, Zhou Jiaotou did not ask for marriage early. Moreover, he also has a lot of respect for Leqi, and he doesn't want to mention it abruptly, so as not to make Leqi a bad person.
Yi Xiangxiang naturally saw the signs, she first tested the head of the next week, and felt that she was indeed worthy of her eldest girl, which fulfilled them. Yi Xiangxiang put the two of them into the deed, and also gave them a small courtyard not far from Yi Mansion; At that time, Leqi was frightened, thinking that his own lady didn't want her anymore. Until Yi Xiangxiang explained that they could still work for Yifu, Zhou Jiaotou was also the chief of the guard of Yifu, and Leqi could be her housekeeper in Yongleju, and the deed and yard were given so that they could have a home, and they could also have their own choices in the future, and the point was that their descendants would no longer need to be slaves, so they could also study and take exams and achieve their own careers.
If the domestic slaves of the Li Dynasty did not let go of the deed, they were slaves for generations, even if they were newborns, as long as their parents were slaves, they were born slaves. Yi Xiangxiang considered that Leqi had served her for so long, how could she thank Leqi for her dedication.
Not only Yi Xiangxiang is grateful, but Le Qi and Zhou Jiaotou are also grateful. The head of the Zhou sect is named Zhou Heng, who was originally a lone swordsman on the rivers and lakes, and was rescued by Yi Xihu after suffering, and he voluntarily sold himself into the Yi Mansion in order to repay his kindness. originally thought that this life would be like this, but I never thought that I could marry a lady and settle down in a circle, which can be regarded as a surprise in life.
Le Qi now helps Yi Xiangxiang manage the affairs of the courtyard, which is no different from the past, except for the people in Yongleju, everyone else calls her Zhou Niangzi.
Yi Xiangxiang led her younger brothers and sisters to Yongle Ju, Le Qi looked at Yi Huanhuan's clothes were dirty, and hurriedly taught Licorice who had just come back and said, "Why are you on an errand?" My lady's clothes are dirty, so I didn't hurry up to get a change of clothes? Why are you still stunned? Hurry up and get it! Licorice praised again and again, and rushed out of Yongle House.
"Don't be angry! Zhou Niangzi, I want to be jealous of the balls! Yi Huanhuan said with his chubby hand covering Le Qi's face.
"Okay, good, slave, let someone go and get you vinegar balls." Leqi said happily.
Of course Leqi is happy, when the Yi family ushered in this pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, Leqi is definitely the happiest one among the maids! Thinking that she has served Miss Eight Yi Xiangxiang all these years, she has no sense of accomplishment. Yi Xiangxiang is smart and sensible and doesn't like to move, so there is no use for music. But this Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele are different, although they are also very smart, they are also smart children! It's cute and smart, and it's very likable.
Yi Xiangxiang didn't care what Le Qi thought, she kicked her shoes and stepped barefoot on the mat made of white fox fur, and then turned around and lay down on her red sandalwood carved beauty couch, and then said: "One person writes five big characters, otherwise don't want to be jealous!" ”
So when dusk was approaching, two wails came from Yongle Ju! Joy and joy almost burst into tears, and they were angry in their hearts that they had been on the thief ship!
As soon as Yi Luochuan walked into Yongle Residence, he heard Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele's wailing, he guessed that it must be his sister Yi Xiangxiang who sharpened these two little ones, thinking that she was still a child back then, but now she is a big sister, Yi Luochuan couldn't help but sigh that time flies.
After Yi Luochuan walked into the house of Yongle Ju, he saw Yi Xiangxiang, who had kicked her shoes, lying on the beauty floor, and a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with peony uppers were scattered outside the white fox fur mat. Yi Luochuan shook his head in his heart! He said twice that he couldn't be so extravagant, but Yi Xiangxiang just didn't change his life! Let's just say that the white fox fur, even the hairpin family in Kyoto is only willing to use it as a cloak or scarf, and his sister is good, so she directly used it to make a blanket to pad her feet.
Yi Xiangxiang saw Yi Luochuan at a glance, hurriedly got up and put on her shoes and said, "Why is my brother here?" As she spoke, she motioned to Shumei to quickly fold the white fox carpet. It can't be blamed on Yi Xiangxiang, she loves these plush things in modern times, and naturally she can't change that habit when she gets here. However, Yi Xiangxiang later happened to see Orion hunting foxes, and the miserable sound and pitiful appearance of the little animal made her feel guilty for a while, so she never used fox supplies again. And since then, she has hyped up the slogan "No Sale, No Harm", which has received a lot of enthusiastic approval. Of course, that's another story.
"Well, come and see if you're in trouble!" Yi Luochuan sat down on the mahogany lion pattern armchair as he spoke, and Shumei hurriedly served a cup of fine Tieguanyin.
Yi Xiangxiang doesn't like to comb her hair, she feels uncomfortable pulling her scalp, she even pulled the hairpin in her hair after returning to her yard, and her black hair hung down her shoulders at this time. I saw her smiling and pulling her hair casually, and said to Yi Luochuan: "Brother, where are you talking!" Sister, I'm very conscientious in taking my younger siblings, my brother is so hard to take the exam, you should rest for two more days! You can rest assured, joy and joy are taught by me, and I guarantee that it is not bad. ”
Tongzhou, as one of the provincial capitals, also held a township test a few days ago, and Yi Luochuan was helped back to Chuanhe Courtyard as soon as he got off the examination room, and a trip was three days. At this time, he rested enough, and then appeared in Yongle Ju.
Yi Luochuan looked up at Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele, who were sitting side by side in front of the rosewood Bogu scroll bookcase, both of them wrinkled their bitter little faces, looking like they were begging their brother to save them. Yi Luochuan got up and walked over to see what they wrote, which was indeed better than Yi Xiangxiang's dog gnawing chicken feet at the beginning, and couldn't help but nodded.
Yi Huanhuan was clever, and when he saw Yi Luochuan coming over, he quickly put down his pen, went around the bookcase, hugged Yi Luochuan's thigh, and said, "Brother, I haven't seen you for a few days, but I miss you!" ”
Yi Luochuan picked up Yi Huanhuan and pinched her little face with a smile: "Huanhuan is good, when my brother is free in two days, I will take you out of the house to visit the lake!" "Yi Luochuan is very doting, Yi Huanhuan is something that the whole house knows; There is no way, when he doted on Yi Xiangxiang back then, although the latter would also be coquettish, but most of them were pretending to be clever, and now Yi Huanhuan completely filled his "dissatisfaction" with his sister Yi Xiangxiang back then.
Yi Xiangxiang couldn't help but roll her eyes, Yi Huanhuan is obviously flattering, right? Only one page of these five pages of big characters was written, and the punishment was not over yet, so he was rewarded for swimming in the lake, which made Yi Xiangxiang how to educate children in the future! However, before Yi Xiangxiang finished complaining, she saw that Yi Lele also put down her pen and went around and pounced on Yi Luochuan and said, "Brother, I also want to go to the lake!" I'm going to go to the lake too! ”
"Okay, good, all go, all go!" Yi Luochuan happily agreed.
Seeing this, Yi Xiangxiang next to her secretly made up her mind that she must find an excuse to prevent these two little children from leaving the house and swimming in the lake.
After making a fuss, Yi Luochuan also stayed in Yongle Ju to eat, after the meal, the four brothers and sisters walked hand in hand to the garden to eat, Leqi lit the lanterns in the water pavilion very emotionally, and the four brothers and sisters put the lanterns in the small lake.
Yifu's mansion in Tongzhou is also a big mansion left by the previous dynasty, and there is also a small lake in Yifu that is as big as the mansion in Centennial County, but this lake is no longer called Luoxia Lake, because Mrs. Yi is afraid that Yi Ruonan will give a dejected name again, so she preemptively chose the name of this lake.
Mrs. Yi's naming method is still as willful and random as when Mrs. Yi named her son Yi Xihu, because this lake resembles a crescent moon, so Mrs. Yi named it Crescent Lake! It is said that when the Lin family walked to the crescent moon lake when they visited the garden, they suddenly had a feeling of labor pain, and they were carried into the delivery room by the maid and gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses! And Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Yi are worthy of being an old couple for decades, and the same aesthetic name makes people disagree! At that time, the two elders and one wanted to call the girl Yi Crescent and the boy Yi Lakeside, but they were vetoed by Yi Xiangxiang, which gave rise to the names Yi Huanhuan and Yi Lele. Later, after the Huan Huanle sisters and brothers knew about the name, they were very grateful to their sister Yi Xiangxiang!
"You have to write a wish for this lantern! You two still don't recognize a word, call out to good sister, I'll help you write your wishes! Yi Xiangxiang said happily.
Yi Luochuan smiled: "How can you be a sister like this!" ”
"Brother, you don't understand, do you? I'm teaching them how to achieve their goals in the easiest way possible, it's a kind of training! "Yi Xiangxiang is very complacent.
"You're leading them badly and teaching them to use flattery to achieve their own goals!" Yi Luochuan said and gave Yi Xiangxiang a chestnut.
"How can it be as serious as my brother said!" Yi Xiangxiang rubbed her head and refused to admit it, but she knew that she would never win a debate with her brother, a person who was chewing words and writing strategies every day, so she could only beg for mercy and said: "I'll help write it!" Come, what is Huanhuan's wish? ”
Yi Huanhuan's child grabbed his pigtail and said, "I want to learn martial arts in the future!" Then you can fly around, rob the rich and help the poor! ”
Yi Luochuan and Yi Xiangxiang laughed when they heard Yi Huanhuan's fairy tales, this was obviously wanting to fly around, but they also had to rob the rich and help the poor. Yi Xiangxiang coughed a few times secretly, in line with the spirit of not being able to break the child's fantasy, she wrote such a heroic wish in the lantern very responsibly, or it is more appropriate to say that the ideal is more appropriate.
Yi Xiangxiang gave Yi Huanhuan the written lantern, and told her to put it together when everyone's writing was finished, so Yi Huanhuan obediently held her own lantern, very religious.
"Then what is the wish of our Lele children?" Yi Xiangxiang turned around and asked Yi Lele.
Yi Lele children said seriously: "I want to be a big official when I grow up!" Solve unjust, false and wrongful cases, and sweep away corrupt officials and corrupt officials! "There are loud words in the immature children's voices.
Yi Xiangxiang really wants to complain about her younger brothers and sisters, please, do you really know the difference between wishes and ideals? I thought that I was going to give the two little beans a literacy sweep another day! And she really wants to tell Yi Lele's children that their family is not hereditary, and being an official is to take an exam, so he can't afford to hang a bookbag, so it's better to be exempt! Forget it, illusions can't be easily broken, because that's at least a small faith.
Yi Luochuan's lamp wish is to wish the elders to be healthy, the younger brothers and sisters to be safe and happy, and the hope that they can show their ambitions in high school in the future, and they have always written a lot, which is not at all like his taciturn temperament, so that Yi Xiangxiang secretly slandered himself that people who talk less can write essays well.
Over there, Yi Luochuan is sprinkled, but the lantern of Yi Xiangxiang here only has the words "May family and friends be healthy", and in recent years, she has become more and more desireless; No, it should be said that since she made a lot of money in business with Moxi, she has become more and more unwanted. Now she wants money, money, and people, and she is no longer the little girl who was helpless about anything. Yi Xiangxiang ticked out the last word "Kang" and smiled with satisfaction.
The garden was very lively, not only did the four masters write the lamp, but they also asked the maids and servants who followed them to write their own wishes, and those who couldn't write were written by Yi Luochuan and Yi Xiangxiang. At first, everyone was a little restrained, embarrassed to say what they wanted; It wasn't until a second-class maid who was almost old enough to be matched said "I hope to be matched with a wishful husband", and everyone completely let go; Yi Xiangxiang even helped write a lantern wish for a child, which really made her cry and laugh a little.
It wasn't until everyone had finished writing their wishes that the lantern was put down by the lake, and the four brothers and sisters of the Yi family stood side by side, watching the lantern slowly drift away with the wind.
