Chapter 13: Wan Ting

got up early on the second day, Shi Boyuan's youngest daughter Wanting came to Wanying's bedside and clamored for Wanying to play with her, but Wanying had no choice but to get up, who made her Wanying's sister, a sister who was closer than her own sister.

After washing, Wan Ting was already impatient, took out her own pink silk embroidery bag, opened the tether with both hands, grabbed the bottom of the bag and poured it, a few delicate small scented bags and a few red and green inlaid treasure rings fell on Wan Ying's bed, puffing out her pink little face, and said in her mouth: "Sister Wan Ying, this is the sachet that the embroidery lady taught me to embroider these days, this is the petals of the peony flower in the spring, this is the petals of the Kowloon golden osmanthus, and the petals of the chrysanthemum are Anxiang chrysanthemums, this ......"

Wan Ting treasured them one by one, and Wan Ying saw that one of the sachets was embroidered with a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water, so she secretly smiled and said, "Good sister, this mandarin duck playing in the water is embroidered by you?" ”

"Well, yes. Yes, the embroiderer also said that I could embroider like this when I first learned it, which is excellent. Wanting said with an ignorant look.

Wanying originally wanted to taunt her, but seeing that she was only ten years old this year, she looked immature, and she didn't necessarily know what a mandarin duck playing in the water was, so she gave up.

"Sister Wanying, these sachets are all given to you, and these rings are my father's appreciation for seeing my handwriting." Wanting has been close to Wanying since she was a child, and if she has any fun and fresh things, she will leave them to Wanying, and Wanying will receive any rare objects for her.

"I'll keep this sachet, and keep these rings for you to wear later." Wan Ying said as she picked out a green sachet embroidered with orchid flowers on it.

"I don't like these Raushs, so I'd better wear them with my sister." As she spoke, Wanting got up and walked to the piano and sat down, stroking her hands on the piano, and a string of piano sounds like flowing water flowed out. "Sister Wanying, can we play chess?" She turned her head and said.

"Girls, why do you like chess, is it okay to play Go?" Wanying asked her.

"That Go is only black and white, I feel dizzy when I see it, it is not as good as chess, galloping on the field, strategizing, even if it is fighting, it is also happy." She said to Wanying with a smile.

"Our division family actually has a division Mulan, Shi Guiying, is it difficult for you to be the female general." Wanying hid her face and laughed.

"Sister Xiuxiao, what can I do not be a female general, I want to be a female general when I grow up to show you." Wanting was childish but very serious, seeing her sister laughing at herself, she pouted and said angrily.

Seeing this, Wanying knew that this little girl was angry, and couldn't help but stop laughing.

On both sides of Chu Han, there was a local formation, and at first Wan Ying intended to let her, but after a few moves, Wan Ying knew that she had underestimated this sister, and her defense was solid, and her attack was fierce step by step. After a game of chess, Wanying won extremely hard.

After a while, a maid went upstairs and invited the two of them to the Zhengxing Hall outside, where today's family banquet was set up. Wan Ying and Wan Ting joined hands before they went downstairs and went out of the second gate, and in front of the stone road facing the second gate was Zhengxing Hall.

Zhengxingtang was originally the most spacious place in the teacher's mansion, with five main buildings in the upper room, three side rooms on the east and west sides, leaving an empty courtyard in front, not planting a single grass and a tree, and the bare bluestone slab floor tile yard was very boring, so Wanying didn't like this place very much on weekdays. Entering the courtyard from the small ear gate on the side of the west wing, I saw that a stage had been set up in the courtyard today, and the agitators had already taken their seats and were just waiting for the gong to start.

A row of red lacquer carved doors and windows in the main hall are all open. Slipping through the front eaves, a row of reed mats was set up horizontally to block the sun. Entering the hall, I saw that the screens and partitions on weekdays had been removed, and the entire five main rooms were connected into one room, and the five eight-immortal tables were lined up in turn. There are icebergs on several high tables, which are exceptionally cool.

Wanying's eyes slipped around, her father, uncle, uncle, brother and several male guests of the family sat in the main seat, and the female dependents sat up freely. I don't think about it, I am sitting with Sister Wanting.

Before the banquet began, Wanying saw a housekeeper's mother handing her father today's play card, and she couldn't hear what the master said, but she saw him point a few times on the play card, and the woman in charge withdrew.

After three rounds of drinking, the drama is also in full swing, Sister Wanting naturally likes lively and interesting dramas like "Havoc in Heaven", but Wanying is obsessed with listening to "Drunk and Hitting the Golden Branch". The tone is abrupt, the height is appropriate, the words are round, the aftersound is around, and the three days are endless.

When I was young, the kitchen sent a few birthday desserts, which were nothing more than a few plates of fancy snacks, but it happened that they took the trouble to take the name "Flowers bloom rich peony cake, dragon and phoenix are auspicious sesame crisp, pine crane prolongs the year jade roll, and Fushou Shuangquan Ruyi bag." "The master listened to the subordinates one by one, and his heart was really useful, and he was rewarded one after another. Next to him, he sandwiched a small Ruyi bag and put it on a porcelain plate in front of the teacher, who picked it up, tasted it, and was amazed. Seeing this, everyone tried one after another.

Wanying took a sip, the fragrance of osmanthus mixed with honey, rapping and ringing teeth, very tasty. I thought: the kitchen is really a bit of a hard work inside. He deserves his father's reward.

My thoughts were immersed in the Ruyi bun, and I suddenly heard Aunt Gao at the second table say: "Speaking of this Ruyi bun, a few days ago, I saw Mama Zhang hurriedly sent a plate of milk sweet cake to the third lady. It turned out that I was too old and confused, and I didn't know that there was such a rare snack in our aunt's meal, and I had seen it a few times when I was serving in the old lady's house before, and I thought to myself: If there is, my wife should have it, why did Aunt Lin pass over my wife and be the same as the old lady. ”
