After bringing out the three flavors, let Su Rou choose a few, Su Xue looked at Su Rou with a smile, "What about the three flavors, let you be the first to choose." ”

Su Rou swallowed her saliva, this one likes it, and that one she loves, but she doesn't know which one she wants, and finally begged Su Xue and Su Yi, and raised two fingers, "Can you change two spoons?" ”

Poria looked at it and smiled, Su Xue couldn't help Su Rou, "Okay, it's up to you." ”

Bai Shao beckoned the maid to take the ice cream to Shou'an Courtyard, and gave the old lady a taste, the old lady was old, and she didn't dare to give more, so she used a set of exquisite blue and white porcelain tea cups and gave her six flavors, each with only two spoons, the old lady was still unsatisfied, and it was not good to be greedy in front of the juniors, didn't this set a bad example?

Mrs. Li was amazed, "The princess of the county is ingenious, she has never even heard of this kind of food, and she can't wait to roll her tongue together." ”

Bai Shao's face was blushing when she was praised, "The slave maid is clumsy, these are all taught by the princess of the county, and they will be learned several times." ”

A flash of amazement flashed in Mrs. Li's eyes, and she couldn't find the words to praise that it was too late.

Zhiwan asked how much Bai Peony had made, Bai Peony said a lot, and Zhiwan smiled, "Use ice cubes to calm it, and let Mrs. Li bring some back for Master Li and Master Li to taste." ”

Mrs. Li hurriedly thanked her.

Yesterday, the girl of the Su family and the girl of the Zhao family made a fuss on the street, and swept a street of rouge jewelry, today it is still the streets and alleys of Yongzhou, the jokes and chatters of the restaurant inn, and the young master of the Li family walked with a broken leg, walked like flying, and a kind of boiling food, and knew that the reputation in Yongzhou was dry, and the door of the Su family was surrounded by people.

There are those who want to see the true face of the princess of Yuejun, there are those who want to seek medical advice, and those filial sons who want to satisfy their father's hunger and beg for food, clamoring to see Zhizhi, the cry of grabbing the sky and the earth, the people who are shocked are dizzy, and they ordered the door of the Su family to be closed.

Who expected the door to close. Old lady Su rode back.

Looking at the crowd of people, Old Lady Su's entourage, Manager Su, said, "The princess of the county has a great reputation, and these people are not here for a request. It's admiring here, I'm afraid I can't go through the door, old lady, let's go through the small door, right? ”

The old lady hasn't walked through the small door for many years, this time, she is willing, but the door is blocked, after all, it is a troublesome thing, you can't ask Zhiwan to come out to check people's pulses, so many people. Don't you have to be tired?

I didn't know how to do it well, so when I entered the small door, I saw a green cloth boy running up with a bright smile, and the old lady looked. I was curious, "Is there a happy event in the house?" ”

The little girl's name is Su Bao, the son of Su Chief, who often shows his face in front of the old lady, listens to the old lady's question, and is busy pouring beans for what happened in the house today, and the old lady laughs when he hears it.

There is such a kind granddaughter. He was happy in his heart, "Su Bao, you go and get some beef jerky, go to the door and divide some by yourself, so that they all disperse." ”

Su Bao looked at the old lady with some embarrassment, "It's already been blasted." There are too many people coming, and they can't leave at all. ”

Manager Su looked at the old lady, it is a good thing to divide beef jerky, I am afraid that there will be more people at that time, and I am afraid that I will not even be able to leave the small door at that time. Or send someone to tell the prefect and let the officials come and disperse them.

The prefect of Yongzhou is also an interesting person, not waiting for the Su family to send someone to go, he sent a servant to relieve the siege early, the governor of Su invited him into the house, he was stunned that he did not enter, it is a good thing to invite flattery, but I am afraid that the horse's fart will be slapped on the horse's hooves, and the merit will become a fault, then the gain outweighs the loss, in the officialdom, sometimes it needs to be high-profile, sometimes it needs to be low-key, he can do the position of the prefect, and he is naturally a master.

Manager Su came back to tell the old lady, and the old lady stroked her beard and said with a smile, "Send ten catties of beef jerky to the prefect, and it should be a thank you gift." ”

Peony Garden.

Zhiwan is lazily lying on the rosewood soft couch, Bai Peony uses a beauty to beat Zhiwan's legs, bamboo incense and cypress incense surround the small cradle, humming a small tune for Chen'er Si'er.

Incense curls in the copper furnace of four-horned birds and beasts, and occasionally the wind blows in, and the gauze tent shakes gently.

Suddenly, the bead curtain shook slightly, Poria entered the house slowly, and asked Bai Shao with his eyes, did he fall asleep at night, Bai Shao shook his head, Poria Cocos's footsteps suddenly became heavy, and stepped forward and said, "Princess Jun, Brother Leng Shi is back from errands, and there is a family in the small courtyard around the two shops that is not sold." ”

Zhiwan opened his eyes, with a hint of sleepiness in his eyes, Bai Shao couldn't help but ask, "Can't even Brother Leng Shi buy it?" What kind of family is that? ”

Poria twisted the handkerchief and said, "It's not a big family, there are two ancestors and grandchildren living in that small courtyard, and they depend on each other for their lives, and they don't sell the shop because they are afraid that after selling the shop, their sons who are out of the army will not be able to find them when they come back, no matter how much silver they give, they will not sell it." ”

Zhiwan took a sip of tea, heard the words, and asked, "How long has her son been in the army?" ”

"It's been five years."

"Haven't heard from you since?"

"In the first two years, there are two letters sent back every year, and there has been no news in the last three years, and I don't know if I am dead or alive, so poor grandparents and grandchildren, forcibly buying a house, Brother Leng Shi said that he can't do it."

Poria pursed her lips, she felt a little sad when she heard this kind of thing, and if she wanted her to do it, she couldn't do it, but Brother Leng Shi was a secret guard, his face was expressionless, and he couldn't harden his heart, and begged her to come to the princess of the county to give an idea.

Such a pair of grandchildren is not something that can be impressed with money, but the shop has a fixed location, and if you change places, you have to make a big detour.

It seems that he can only help the grandson find the son who joined the army, there has been no news for five years, and ten of them have died on the battlefield, but why has no one informed them?

This matter is under the control of the local prefect, Zhiwan asked Leng Shi to go to the prefect to ask, who wanted to ask the news of the return made Zhiwan cry and laugh, she never thought that she would meet the military version of Chen Shimei.

When the prefect is appointed, he must first find out who is from the place under his jurisdiction, so as to take care of his father and brothers.

Sun Zhengqi, named Sun Dagou before joining the army, because the name is unsightly, but he is warlike, he has to take a fancy to Shangfeng, and helped change his name, this matter is spread in the army, Yongzhou Yamen also has records, Sun Zhengqi rose all the way, after entering Beijing, it was even more impressive to General Cheng, this General Cheng has a daughter under his knees, because the maid was not well taken care of when he was young, he fell and injured his head, and he was a little stupid. This Sun Zhengqi did what he liked, and he was liked by the idiot and became General Cheng's son-in-law.

The prefect knew about this, and he knew that Sun Zhengqi wanted to cling to the powerful. Falsely claiming that his parents died early and that he had no wife and no children.

Zhiwan was speechless, and Poria couldn't help but scold, "It's really a wolf-hearted thing, in order to cling to the powerful, even the old mother at home dares to curse, and she still misses her son, afraid that he won't find his way home, and as a result, people don't have a home at all!" ”

Bai Peony and Bai Xiang are also indignant, such unfilial sons should be beaten to death. In order to set an example, but as a result, people rely on the power of their father-in-law, step by step, if such a person masters the military power, sooner or later it will be a rebellious end. Even the kindness of his adoptive parents can be forgotten, what benevolence and morality do he have in his heart?

After Poria finished speaking, she looked at Zhiwan and said, "Then General Cheng is a party member of King Xiang, or a confidant general, Brother Leng Shi asked if he could poke this matter out and give King Xiang a blow?" ”

Zhiwan raised his eyebrows. The prefect of Yongzhou revealed such a big secret to her, it was a sincere refuge, and she accepted this favor, "Escort the two ancestors and grandsons into Beijing, and be sure to recognize General Sun." ”

A good night's sleep.

In the early morning of the next day, I was dressed up again in the evening. The sky blue skirt is embroidered with a few orchids, and only two white magnolia hairpins are worn on the head, which is elegant and quiet.

Compared with the innocent who knows the night, Su Xue. Su Yu and a few others dressed up, wearing red and green, pretty and feminine, which made people's eyes shine.

The old lady knew that they were going to participate in the poetry meeting of the lake, and the weather was hot, so she told and told several people, especially Zhiwan, who had a special identity, and was afraid that something would go wrong, Mrs. Su smiled when she saw it, "Old lady, you can rest assured, I have already instructed Mr. Su to order the largest boat mill, and the oars are all dressed as secret guards, which can ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

Zhiwan was embarrassed to hear it, because he walked with Su Xiangxing, was assassinated, and was poisoned, which made the Su family uneasy, in fact, it doesn't need to be so exaggerated, but being so concerned about it, Zhiwan's heart is warm.

After leaving the gate of Sufu, getting into the carriage, he headed towards Xianhe Lake.

Xianhe Lake, the lake is rippling, the water is full of colors, and the white cranes on the lake flap their wings and fly in shock.

Seven or eight boat mills swim on the surface of the lake, the painting boats are exquisite, the carved railings are made of jade, the corners of the boats are hung with bells, the breeze blows, the bells are ringing, crisp and pleasant, as if they are composing music.

In the middle of Xianhe Lake, there is a beautiful octagonal pavilion, and the pavilion is surrounded by cranes, and people can be seen walking around.

Su Rou pointed to the pavilion and showed it to Zhiwan, "Cousin, the poetry meeting is held in that pavilion, not only the ladies of the family, but also the young masters and talents of the family." ”

Zhiwan was surprised when she heard this, and Poria couldn't help but be curious, and asked, "How can men and women at the same table at the same age at the same age hold a poetry meeting in the same pavilion?" ”

Su Yi smiled, "This is unique to Yongzhou, different from other places, in fact, in the pavilion, in addition to the ladies and talented young masters, there are also Yongzhou noble ladies, they have nothing to do, they like to be a matchmaker with others, so the Crane Pavilion is also called the Marriage Pavilion." ”

Poria glanced at the Immortal Crane Pavilion a few times, "Is that if you have been married, you can't participate if you have been engaged?" ”

Su Xue shook her head and smiled, "Although the Immortal Crane Pavilion has such a marriage pavilion, there is no rule that those who marry cannot come, cousin, didn't you notice that my makeup is a little different today?" ”

Zhiwan looked at Su Xue twice, and then looked at Su Yi and Su Rou, to be honest, she didn't find anything special, so she saw Su Xue stroked her hair bun, and her white jade fingers swept over a peach blossom hairpin, "In Yongzhou, only the ladies who are married can wear a peach blossom hairpin, if which young master loves which girl, he will give her a peach blossom hairpin, which is counted as a token of kinship." ”

Yongzhou is different from Kyoto, in Kyoto, the girl who is married can not easily participate in the banquet, unlike Yongzhou, even if the lady is married, or the marriage is imminent, you can also come out to play, but you have to wear a peach hairpin, so as to tell others that she has a famous flower, so as to break the thoughts of others.

Poria exclaimed, "What if the princess of the county doesn't wear a peach hairpin?" ”

You don't need to wear a peach hairpin if you have been married, Su Xue blinked her eyes, held Zhiwan's arm, and said with a narrow smile, "My cousin is dressed up like this, except for those who have seen my cousin, no one knows my cousin, even if anyone takes a fancy to my cousin and wants to propose marriage, they will come to the Su family to ask first." ”

Su Yi and Su Rou also covered their mouths and smiled, "My cousin is delicate, has a gentle temperament, and speaks with a smile, which is most liked by those noble ladies, if you collect a bunch of peach blossom hairpins for a while, I don't know if the cousin-in-law of the prince of the county knows about it, will he overturn the vinegar jar?" ”

Poria said seriously, "It's best to hide it, you don't know how much vinegar the county prince is, and even eat the vinegar of the little prince, if someone really dares to send it, I don't think the Crane Pavilion can be saved." ”

Waiting for Su Xue, Su Yi and Su Rou to open their eyes. Poria couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said, "What I said is true." ”

Zhiwan's face was full of black lines, and Bai Shao shook her shoulders and pushed Poria for a moment. whispered, "You don't want to die, there are a lot of secret guards around, what if you leak your mouth in front of the prince of the county, what will you do?" ”

Poria's back was cold, and she looked around, only caring about talking, forgetting the secret guard, and being a little afraid, after all, jealousy is not a nice word. "I didn't say anything, whoever dares to send the princess of the county hairpin, I will chop off his hands for the princess of the county."

Poria said with a straight back, and it was extremely loud, making everyone laugh and bend over. Su Rou's cheeks hurt even more with laughter, "Why is the maid next to my cousin so funny, I want to change it with you, or can you change Sister Poria to me?" ”

Poria was both proud and worried when she heard this, so she hid behind Zhiwan and muttered. "It's not good, it's not good, I'm not covering my mouth, it's not fun at all."

Zhiwan stroked his forehead, "My maid is a little bit and has self-knowledge." I know that I am not good, since I know it, then I have to reflect on it, and I will stand on the shore for a while to reflect. ”

Poria's eyes were as wide as copper bells, and she looked like she wanted to bite her tongue. looked at Zhiwan with a bitter face, and begged for mercy, "Princess Jun, can the slave and maid go back and reflect again, the slave and maid promise not to say a word." ”

"Really don't say a word?"

"Really."

"Really?" Su Xue asked with a smile.

"Really."

"Really?" Su Yi asked with a smile.

"Really."

"Really?" Su Rou asked with a smile, and squeezed her eyebrows at Poria Cocos.

Poria was a little confused, why did she take turns to ask her, seeing Bai Shao shaking her shoulders and laughing, Poria suddenly realized, covered her mouth, and nodded violently.

Poria looked aggrieved, bit her lip, and joined forces to bully her, which was too unkind.

The maid came over and said, "The shipyard is ready, and you can get on board." ”

A few people walked towards the shipyard, stepped on the pedals and boarded the boat, and the boat sailed into the distance.

The poetry meeting of the lake, first of all, is to visit the lake, after visiting the lake and mountains, then go to the pavilion to rest, compare poetry and literature, and compare talents and arts.

When the boat was far away, I heard a melodious flute coming, which was long and pleasant, and Su Xue and Su Yi ran to the boat to look into the distance, and pulled Zhiwan together.

Zhiwan looked at it and wondered, "Who played the flute, and you are so excited?" ”

"The future second brother-in-law blew it, he must know that the second sister is on the boat," Su Rou chuckled, with a look of envy, "I don't know when someone will play a tune for me?" ”

Su Xue blushed and wanted to go back to the shipyard to rest, but Su Xue didn't let her, "Second sister, you are too unkind, why do you want to have a song?" Take the piano. ”

The maid moved the piano, Su Xue was pressed and sat down, who wanted to touch the strings with her slender jade fingers, and the sound of the piano came from a distance.

Su Yi was stunned, looking for prestige, his brows were tightened, and he said angrily with anger in his eyes, "It's the Zheng family's shipyard, it must be Xiao Yu'er and Qin!" ”

Su Xue's face was not worried, and she asked the maid to take the piano down, and when she heard Su Yi speak, she could vaguely guess three points, her rival in love, "Giving in will only make people look down on you, you should suppress her piano sound." ”

Su Xue glanced at Zhiwan, put her hand on the strings, and gently plucked it, and the sound of the piano spread.

Poria asked the maid who was the girl who played the piano, and she had already thrown her promise not to say a word out of the clouds.

Xiao Yuer, is Li Sixun's cousin, she likes Li Sixun very much, she is not less stubborn, her mother is the sister of Master Li, she wants to kiss and kiss, that is, the Li family and the Su family are married, she did not give up, and she also wanted to be a flat wife with Li Sixun, the Su sisters were angry when they saw her, half a year ago, Li Sixun's leg was broken, she ignored it, they met several times, sneering and ironic, Xiao Yuer said that she would marry no one with a crippled leg, but I didn't expect that Li Sixun's leg could only walk yesterday, and she was entangled again today, and she had seen shameless, I've never seen her like this.

Su Xue was calm, Li Sixun's flute sound was just in harmony, but it was getting farther and farther away from Xiao Yuer's piano sound, listening carefully, you will find that her piano sound lost its calmness, and finally stopped abruptly, it should be that the strings were broken.

The piano is broken, and the love is broken.

I hope she won't be entangled again, otherwise she will be asking for her own hardship.

Li Sixun was in the shipyard, and Su Ang was also there, standing by the side of the boat, and said with some surprise, "The second sister has a gentle temperament and never competes with others, but today she is competing with Miss Xiao." It's weird. ”

Li Sixun also wondered, but his mood was never better, and when he found out that it was Xiao Yuer and Qin, he didn't want to play anymore. It's just that it's rude like this, so I just put up with it, I didn't expect Su Xue to be with his flute, among the three sounds, he found the feeling of harmony with the piano, which made him feel comfortable.

There were also four young masters on the shipyard, congratulating him, with a look of envy, "Congratulations to Brother Li for finding a good wife." Since then, the husband sings and the wife follows, and the piano is harmonious. ”

Xiao Yu'er was so angry that she blew her lungs, and directly threw the broken string piano into the lake, causing countless ripples.

On the bow of the boat, Su Rou pointed to the Gu family's shipyard. "The Gu family is also here, Miss An must also be here, I don't know if the eldest brother is, will she be with the piano?"

Su Yu shook his head, "Although the second young master of the Xinguo Mansion is not a good match, he is also married in the end, but not everyone is as shameless as Xiao Yu'er." I don't know what to do, but she doesn't get along with Qin, how do you know that she also has feelings for her eldest brother? ”

Su Yi was in trouble, looked at Zhiwan, Zhiwan thought for two seconds, and said with a smile. "Why don't you send a hosta for your eldest brother to test it later?"

Su Rou clapped her hands in agreement, and Su Yi glanced at her, "It's a good idea, but it's so easy to send, there must be a maid next to her." If you want outsiders to see it, you can't laugh at the Su family? ”

This can't be guarded against, Zhiwan smiled when he heard this, "I'll go and talk for my cousin in a while." ”

Su Xue disagreed, if outsiders knew that the princess of the dignified county went to send hostas for others, it would damage the reputation of the girl, but Zhiwan decided.

The leads the phoenix, and the jade flute conveys affection.

Su Ang played the flute, An Tianran did not have a qin, but another young master and the qin, put it here, no one felt anything, if it was changed to modern, it would only feel passionate.

After playing around the lake for nearly half an hour, I saw a boat approaching the Xianhe Pavilion, and the Su family's boat workshop also slowly approached the pavilion.

Originally, swimming in the lake was an interesting thing, but it was repeatedly provoked, and the anger of the Su family also rose, and the Zheng family actually grabbed the position of the boat with the Su family, and the two boats almost collided.

When she got off the boat, Xiao Yuer was arrogant again, deliberately pretending to be stubborn, and wanted to push Su Xue into the lake, but unfortunately the trick was seen through by Zhiwan and pulled Su Xue along, Xiao Yuer's center of gravity was unstable all of a sudden, and she fell into the lake.

Su Xue's white face turned white, her teeth were clenched, and tears broke out from her eyes, Zhiwan patted her shoulder, looked at Xiao Yuer in the lake with a smile, and said with a smile, "It's still Miss Xiao who knows how to play, the weather is hot, and the water is hot to dispel the heat." ”

Xiao Yuer struggled in the water, she fell into the lake by herself, stealing chickens and rice, making people laugh, she wanted to wait for the maid to save her, but the maid just didn't come, she was being stopped by the Su family's maid hiding left and right, and she was scared at the moment, shouting for help at the top of her voice.

The Su family is not a hard-hearted person, if something really happens, the Su family will not be able to explain, so they turned their heads and ignored her, and stepped into the pavilion.

The pavilion is divided into two floors, the lower floor is for the young masters and girls to play, the second floor is for the ladies to drink tea and amusement, the pavilion is hollowed out in the middle, and the second floor can have an unobstructed view of the situation on the first floor.

The pavilion, carved finely, birds, beasts and flowers, lifelike, the veil dances lightly, incense bursts, melons, fruits, pastries and teas are readily available.

Poria feels a little familiar when she goes in, this decoration doesn't look like a hibiscus banquet, put it in one place, and take it yourself if you like to eat.

Su Yi smiled when he heard this, "In the past, the poetry meeting of the lake was not like this, such decorations came from Kyoto, it was very good, it would not be wasteful, and many noble families set up banquets like this." ”

Poria was stunned, "Of course, this idea was still thought up by the princess of the county, and even the emperor praised it." ”

Su Xue looked at Zhiwan, a little speechless, she just felt that Zhiwan was a mystery, as if there was nothing she wouldn't have, there was not much difference in age, but she felt that she was tens of thousands of miles behind, if she was born in Su Mansion, she would definitely have low self-esteem and be ashamed of herself.

I sandwiched the pastries and fruits and went to find a seat, so I talked in a whisper, and a lady came over and asked Su Xue, "This girl looks at her eyes, she has never seen her before, who is in the house?" ”

Su Xue got up and returned the half-salute, and said with a smile, "This is my cousin, who came to my house as a guest before, and participated in the Lake Poetry Club for the first time." ”

and introduced to Zhiwan, "This is the girl of Zhoufu, Zhou Xi." ”

Zhou Xi gave Zhiwan a salute, Zhiwan got up and returned a half-salute, Zhou Xi sat down, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't your cousin of the princess of the county come to participate in the poetry meeting of the lake?" ”
