CHAPTER XVII

The corners of Mingshu's mouth twitched, and she had nothing to say.

Gu Huali straightened up again and said, "How are you doing lately?" ”

The little girl used to be bright and charming, but now it is obviously mixed with ashes, and the more she deliberately hides it, the more pitiful she looks.

Mingshu didn't know that she looked so bad, but she was very lively and cheerful when she could make fun of Gu Huali's facial paralysis.

just blinked and said simply: "Very good." He paused deliberately, as if he thought about it, "Well, it's just that people dislike him as a stinky chess basket, and people hate dogs...... Approximately is not good. ”

This made Gu Huali silent.

Mingshu didn't know why, so she subconsciously yawned, and the night was a little deep.

"I'll see you in a few days."

Mingshu also consciously knew that he was putting on a show, not embarrassing the Gu family, and not letting him derelict himself, so she nodded indifferently.

As soon as I turned my head, I forgot about it.

The little girl brought a glass lantern to Mingshu and sent Mingshu back. The glass lantern lit up, and she became more and more sleepy under the light.

I went back and freshened up casually, and I fell into the bed.

When Mingshu woke up on the second day, the first frame in her mind was Gu Huali asking her-What are you doing today?

She was a little embarrassed and didn't ask him why he would save her.

Even, just in time.

When her parents died in front of her eyes and their lives hung by a thread, Gu Huali suddenly appeared to save her. If it was one step earlier, wouldn't Daddy and Auntie be fine.

It's like waiting......

Mingshu stopped herself from thinking about it anymore, and beckoned the maid to wait for her to get up.

Today, there are several ladies who hold a flower court party together. Obviously, there is still a long time to go to the Flower Dynasty Festival, and I don't know why it is called the Flower Dynasty Festival. But Mingshu doesn't care, the ladies in the boudoir have a lot of weird banquets.

Today's is just a small collection in my own house.

The maid picked out a red jacquard silk gown for Mingshu, and put on a purple skirt, and the rouge on her face was thick and heavy.

Mingshu felt that she was a big red flower that was trampled on the ground after the wind and rain and couldn't get up.

"Rouge is still gone, I don't have the habit of rubbing rouge." Mingshu felt that the two of them were really miserable, but she couldn't ignore them, so she could only put on a straight face to reduce her sense of funny.

The little maid who had been taught by Mingshu timidly glanced at the maid who was grooming Mingshu.

"Today, the little ladies hold an elegant gathering, and the cousin should be more solemn." The maid holding the comb smiled slightly.

But Mingshu still thinks she is like a muddy red flower.

"My grandmother said that to be well-dressed and to walk in a proper manner is to be dignified." Mingshu also smiled slightly, "I haven't heard that it must be solemn to be exaggerated." ”

The maid was uncomfortable with Mingshu's laughter, and finally didn't dare to say anything.

The subordinates of the Li family seem to be well-behaved, but they don't have any rules for her, Mingshu thought lazily.

I don't know why.

Mingshu changed into a daylily-colored cross-collared shirt, with a dark cross-collar skirt with hidden pleats underneath, which looked like a small yellow flower with a water spirit, and then slowly went out.

The place is the small flower hall in the garden, and the rest of the ladies have arrived, and at this time they are talking together in twos and threes.

When Mingshu walked over, the second lady, Li Shuangjia, smiled at her and beckoned, "Ling Ling come and sit." "She felt a little guilty and embarrassed about what happened last time.

Mingshu saw Li Shuangyan sitting next to the second lady, so she politely refused.

She was too lazy to look at her.

There happened to be a chessboard on the side, and Mingshu simply played chess for herself to save her boredom.

"Ling Ling is playing chess again!" I don't know who shouted ridiculously, and a group of little girls chattered around, like a pile of little sparrows.

It's just that there is no good word -

"You are self-aware, and you will not come to harm us."

"Go and go, how diligent Ling Ling is, maybe it will be good to practice for a few more years."

"Your signal makes this stinky chess basket a masterβ€”"

The little girls all covered their veils and laughed.

Mingshu kept a straight face and didn't know what to say.

The fourth lady, who likes to crush Mingshu in chess on weekdays, walked out, patted Mingshu on the shoulder, and her cunning and treacherous eyes rolled: "How boring it is to play chess alone, I'll play with you." ”

"Okay."

Anyway, I'm used to being crushed, and I really don't feel anything.

At most, it's just a different way to be crushed, and it's really more fun than playing alone.

But after a game of chess, Mingshu felt that something was wrong, and cold sweat was already oozing from the corners of Li Siniang's forehead on the opposite side.

After a while, Li Siniang threw away the flag in her hand and shouted, "No more, no down," and couldn't help but sneer: "Ling Ling, you must be hiding a traitor in your belly, Taoguang has been obscure for so long and is finally willing to show his hand!" ”

Mingshu was also surprised, she was only crushed by Li Siniang before, but today she ate her chess to death.

"Isn't it that I can't look at you anymore, and I deliberately show my hand to frustrate your sharpness." Mingshu also joked.

Xin was very surprised, but he had improved so much after playing chess with Gu Huali for one night.

Thinking about it this way, Ming Shu admired Gu Huali a little.

After playing and playing for a while, the eldest and youngest wife of the Li family, Xing Shi, came over, she is the eldest sister-in-law, and it is best to preside over the elegant gathering between her little ladies.

As soon as Xing came in, he was satisfied with a group of bright little ladies, who smiled before saying anything, and said, "My mother-in-law said that I just sent a batch of fresh fruits from Zhuangzi, so I picked some good ones and brought them over." The little lady eats more fruits, which is the most able to raise people. ”

The mother-in-law behind him quickly arranged the fruit plate in her hand, and then retreated.

Ming Shu only smiled slightly and thanked everyone together.

Xing also sat next to the second lady, Li Shuangjia, and said with a smile: "I'm not as talented as Sister Jia'er, I only arranged the venue for you, how you want to play, it's up to you." I'm just going to watch you guys and don't overdo it. ”

Li Shuangjia also raised a few sentences of the Xing family.

Mingshu doesn't remember how the little lady's elegant gathering was going to play, and she has forgotten how she lived when she was a child in her previous life. Later, he conscientiously avoided the eyes of others, for fear of being ridiculed for his old and faded clothes and clogs that were about to fall off.

Like a mouse that can't see the light of day, he is frightened and timid.

It was as if the sky above us was forever dark and oppressive. But only in this way can we squeeze out a little sense of security.

Mingshu was a little distracted, and was pushed by Li Siniang, and heard Li Siniang leaning into her ear and asking carefully: "Lingling, is the Yaji in your family also a talent competition?" ”

She racked her brains and thought about it for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Girls can go to the plum garden to fry snow and make tea, and then serve it with their own roasted leg of mutton, sprinkle it with cumin, and cut it with a knife to eat." ”

In his previous life, Gu Mingchu played like this with a group of sisters, and Mingshu was naturally sent away by the second aunt, but he was ridiculed by Gu Mingchu so much that he wanted to get into the mud, and the last person trembled and went to collect the fine snow on the plum rui for them.
