Make up for yesterday's update, first, repair at night~~~

——*——*——

When they arrived in the back garden, Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Shangguan were talking in the flower hall, leaving the ladies of each family to talk, and the other girls let Mrs. Hua send them to enjoy the flowers. Qing Dai watched everyone disperse, her heart was itchy, she had to let me go out and have a look, but the old lady didn't speak, she didn't make her own opinions, so she had to hang obediently behind the old lady of Shangguan to make a little tail.

"Look, I'm an old fool who forgot that our Dai girl came to Mingyu Courtyard for the first time, and she hasn't visited it yet. Wait, Grandmother will point you to the right person to go shopping with you. Someone, go and invite the twelve girls. Mrs. Hua remembered first, afraid that Qingdai people would be active and would feel bored if they followed, so she pointed to a girl from her family to accompany Qingdai.

Not long after, a girl dressed in a water-pigmented flower dress came up, "To the second grandmother, ladies please be safe!" ”

"This is my fifth uncle's little granddaughter, named Hua Kite, who is the twelfth of their sisters, one year younger than your Qingqiang. Let her accompany Sister Dai to walk around, and we will talk together. Old Madam Hua beckoned the girl to approach, "Little Twelve, take good care of your sister Shangguan, if you need anything, just tell Mama Qi." ”

"Yes, Second Grandmother." Hua Kite promised.

"It's fine." The old lady turned to Qingdai and said, "Remember what your grandmother said to you yesterday, follow the twelve girls to play, grandmother will accompany your grandmother Hua to go elsewhere." ”

"Granddaughter's province." Qingdai blessed her body and went to the garden to play with Hua Kite.

"The third girl is here for the first time?" Hua Kite was born delicately, with two shallow pear vortices at the corners of her mouth when she smiled, and her voice was sweet, gentle and soft, which was easy to make people feel close.

"Well, it's the first time." Qing Dai also smiled and replied, "Sister Kite just calls me Qing Dai." ”

The two politely chatted politely, Hua Yuan was surprised that Qing Dai spoke modestly and politely at a young age, and secretly sighed that Shangguan's family tutor was good, and Qing Dai pretended to be obedient and good, but also had a sense of closeness to a gentle and patient little girl like Hua Yuan.

The back garden is very large, and the two of them have not met other girls after two moments. After crossing a small stone bridge, Hua Kite and Qing Dai stopped at the edge of a willow forest, Hua Kite asked Qing Dai: "After walking for so long, my sister is also tired, right?" It's almost time to start the show. There is a pavilion in this forest, if you and I go to rest, I will call two soft sedan chairs to come and take us to the music pavilion. ”

"Just according to what Sister Kite said."

Hua Kite instructed Mama to look for someone, and led Qingdai to the forest. After walking more than ten meters away, there was a burst of laughter in front of me, and it seemed to be mixed with a male voice. Hua Yuan frowned, in the past, only three or four of them sisters accompanied Mrs. Laohou, there were not many people who knew that there was a pavilion here, but today there are people here, and I don't know which sister of the family is it?

"Sister, there's someone in front." Qingdai looked at Hua Kite and asked.

Hua Yuan came back to her senses, "On weekdays, few people come here, maybe my sisters are here." Hui'er, go ahead and see, who's in the pavilion? "There are a lot of people in the garden today, so it's better to be careful.

After a while, Hui'er returned.

Hua Yuan asked in a low voice, "Who is in the pavilion?" Hui'er's cheeks were flushed, and she leaned over to Hua Kite's side and whispered a few words in her ear. Hua Yuan's face changed greatly, and the corners of her mouth twitched, "It's really Seventh Brother?" ”

Hui'er nodded, her face turned a little redder, "There is also the eleventh young master who is also ......"

"Brother Eleven is becoming more and more unconscious, how can he be mixed with Brother Seven? I want to let the old ......" Hua Yuan suddenly realized that Qing Dai was by her side, and she was busy suppressing her anger, but fortunately she didn't rush over just now, otherwise the Hua family's face would be embarrassed. Secretly relieved, Hua Yuan smiled and said: "In the pavilion, my eighth sister took the girls of the Liu family and the Wang family to eat tea, and the position was a little crowded. There is still a good place to go west here, why don't you take you over to see it? ”

Qing Dai had already realized that there was something unspeakable in the pavilion, and nodded immediately: "Okay, that sister and I will go over and have a look." ”

Hua Yuan was about to let Qing Dai take two steps ahead, so she could tell the maid to secretly make people disperse in the pavilion, and she didn't want four or five people to come out of the forest. The leader was a young man in an ochre shirt, around seventeen years old, and as soon as he appeared, he stopped the two of them, "Twelfth sister, where are you going?" ”

Hua Yuan's body stiffened, and she held Qing Dai's hand tightly, Qing Dai hummed lightly, she realized that she was out of shape, and hurriedly let go and saluted the visitor, "Seventh brother, eleventh brother, the second grandmother asked the little sister to accompany the third girl of the official family to visit the garden." ”

"This is the third girl of the Shangguan family?" The other was dressed in a cyan robe with a rhino belt around his waist, and the boy who was about twelve or thirteen years old looked at Qingdai who was standing behind Hua Kite, and asked casually.

Hua Kite bowed her head and introduced the two to Qing Dai. The one who spoke in front of his head was Hua Shaokang, the grandson of the third brother of Lao Zhongyihou, and the grandson of the Hua family had a tooth order of seven, and the one wearing Tsing Yi was Hua Shaoyu, Hua Yuan's own brother, who was ranked eleventh in the family.

The Hua family has lived in Tsinghua Town for generations, and the family lineage is huge. In the Hua family, the descendants are in the same lineage, and the sons and nephews of each family are ranked in order of teeth. The old Zhongyi Marquis is a descendant of the lineage, the second among the brothers, because the eldest brother died early when he was young, and finally he inherited the title. The fourth child also died young, leaving only one daughter, who married to Guangyuan Mansion in his early years, and there is no one in the fourth family anymore. In addition, the third and fifth children also passed away two years ago, and the elders of the lineage are only Mrs. Hua. The three old ladies and the fifth old ladies have been living in Wuzhou, and now the patriarch of the Hua family is Hua Shaokang's father, the eldest son of the third old lady of the Hua family.

Qingdai greeted the two, and Shaokang and Shaoyu returned the gift.

Hua Kite looked around, but she didn't see any trace of anyone else, she was beating a drum in her heart, and she obviously heard a woman's voice, why didn't she see anyone at this time?

"Brother Eleven, isn't Brother Nine with you? The second grandmother was just looking for him. ”

"Huh? Brother Jiu was not with me, something happened to the Le Pavilion in front of the head, and Brother Jiu went first, for fear of delaying the second grandmother and their listening to the play. Shao Yu laughed and snorted, "The two of us were about to go to say goodbye to the second grandmother, and someone from the Le Pavilion just came to say that the play had started, so we were going over there." Why don't you sister go with us? ”

Hua Yuan was secretly annoyed that his brother didn't know the etiquette, and he didn't see the girls from other families present, how could he be on the same road, his face sank, "Shangguan girl is young and can't walk a long way, I just ordered someone to call two soft sedan chairs, and I will arrive in a while, so I won't go on the same road with my brothers." The brothers still took the first step, don't delay the time to say goodbye to the second grandmother. ”

As he was talking, the soft sedan car arrived. Hua Yuan sent Qingdai to the sedan chair first, turned around and made a straight face, and reprimanded his brother in a low voice: "This is the back house, there are many guests today, there are many people, and the brothers should act in a measured manner, so as not to be disciplined by the elders after going back." After speaking, he glanced at Liu Lin and didn't turn back to the sedan chair.

"You, twelve dead girls, how can you speak?" Shao Kang looked like he was pulling his sleeves and wanted to hit someone, Shao Yu hurriedly hugged him from behind, covered his mouth and said, "Seventh brother, don't, don't, don't be impatient!" annoyed the girl, maybe go to the second grandmother to complain. I know my sister's temper, and her people must have not seen it clearly just now, and thought that the two of us were ...... That's a kind reminder. It doesn't matter if the two of us are together at this time, as long as she doesn't tell your father and my father to know! ”

Shao Kang snorted coldly and complained: "It's all Lao Jiu's fault, isn't it just to show him a daughter-in-law, what is he hiding from when he is so good?" If I hadn't decided to marry earlier, I wish I had gone to greet my grandmother earlier. Look at him making himself a ......."

The more Shao Yu heard him talk, the more he didn't have a score, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he hurriedly interrupted Shao Kang's words, "My seventh brother, you don't say a word, let the ninth brother, the living Hades listen, the two of us don't have to lose our skin?!" ”

Shao Kang looked around, reached out and touched his neck, and swallowed his saliva, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about it, let's hurry up to Lege, just now that person suddenly ran over and pulled Lao Jiu away, don't make trouble later." ”

"Yes, yes, let's go!"

……

When Qing Dai and Hua Kite arrived at the music pavilion, the play had already started. After saluting the old lady, Hua Yuan took Qingdai and sat down in the place where the girls of the next family were sitting. As soon as she sat down, Hua Kite was pulled by several girls to ask questions.

"Twelve girls, did you meet the ninth young master in the garden just now?"

“……”

"Twelfth girl, what does the Ninth Young Master look like?"

“……”

"Twelfth girl, I heard that the Ninth Young Master is good at music and rhythm, and he plays a good flute, have you ever heard of it?"

“……”

"Twelve Girls......

Qing Dai watched Hua Kite surrounded by people, at first she was full of smiles, but later, the pear vortex at the corner of her lips gradually disappeared, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly, this good-tempered twelve girls were surrounded by a group of, but it was enough for her to be annoying.

"Don't surround Sister Kite, if you want to ask about the Ninth Young Master, ask me directly." Just when Hua Kite was overwhelmed, Shi Shiran, a girl dressed in a water-red butterfly love flower silk gown and a moon-white eight-piece Hunan skirt, walked over.

The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old, her skin was as white as snow, the willow leaves were thin and her eyebrows were like a painting, her peach blossom eyes were charming, her onion nose was onion, her cherry mouth was soft, her waist was soft, she walked like a weak willow in the wind, and she was a delicate and lovely child, and she was also an outstanding figure among the girls.

"Second Miss Liu, when did you come?" Hua Yuan bowed her head to say hello, but her face was faint.

When Miss Liu approached, someone asked her to sit down, "As soon as I arrived, I went to greet the old lady, and when I saw my sister here, I came over." The two exchanged a few words, although they were not very warm, but outsiders knew at a glance that the two were old acquaintances.

Qing Dai squinted her eyes and looked at the new gossip girl with interest, the sooner she felt, the more familiar she felt, until Hua Yuan called her surname, Qing Dai realized, could this and her aunt be relatives?

"Second Miss Liu lives in Yuhang, when have you seen the Ninth Young Master?" The round-faced girl next to her began to sour.

"Oh, who did I say? It turned out to be the four girls in Lord Qi's mansion. The second girl Liu took the handkerchief to hide her face and smiled, "The fourth girl lives in Wuzhou, so naturally she doesn't know that the ninth young master has been studying in Donglin Academy all year round. ”
