After sending Bi Luo out, Liucui returned to the main courtyard, and when he turned a corner under the verandah, someone called from behind: "Liucui, Sister Mei is in the house?" Liucui looked back and saw that it was the fourth girl, Jinhua, who was leading the maid to come here, and greeted her with a smile. It turned out that there were still a lot of untouched wine and food left in the noon banquet, and when the afternoon sun was just right, the girls played chess in Lu Xuexuan.

When I arrived at the Green Jiaoxuan, I saw that the brocade eyebrows were rising, the milky white satin fur was on her knees, and the purple velvet jacket was still covered in the morning.

When Jinhua saw it at the door, she immediately clapped her hands and jumped: "Sister Mei is so beautiful!" Everyone says that the third sister in our house is the most beautiful, and there used to be a sister Nuo who was more noble than her, in my opinion, now Sister Mei has seen her better! ”

Jin Meiyuan didn't know that someone came in, but she was startled when she yelled, "It turned out to be Sister Hua, come in." Jinhua lifted her skirt, jumped to the front of the couch, put her hands on her knees, stared at her with big eyes, bent down to look at her face for a long time, and said, "Sister Mei's face is really like a boiled egg that has been peeled off." Jin Mei was a little embarrassed to be praised, so he pulled her to sit down and dressed her. Jinhua said: "Sister Mei, it's sunny outside, let's go to Lu Xuexuan to play, my sisters are there!" ”

Mochizuki brought two bowls of lotus seed soup, and Jin Mei asked her when Biluo would come out of the house, because Jinhua was in a hurry, so she took two bites of the bowl and dressed up.

The sisters talked all the way to Lu Xuexuan, and sure enough, they saw the girls wearing red and green in the garden. In addition, these days have been sunny and windless, which has made the girls who have been cats in the embroidery building for a winter as bright and active as a group of colorful butterflies.

Jinhua led Jinmei to the chess game, and Jinfang was playing against Aunt Qi. Aunt Qi is the eldest aunt of the third master, she was originally the maid of the third wife, and then she became a roommate, and after giving birth to the sixth young master, she is now promoted to an aunt. Aunt Qi is twenty-five or sixteen years old, with a slightly plump figure, wearing a stone blue tuanhua skirt, a white silk embroidered with five-petal plum is casually sandwiched in the placket, holding a black chess piece in her left hand, frowning slightly and thinking about the whereabouts.

The maid ring yellow warbler in Jinfang's room was embroidering needlework beside her, and Jin Mei looked at it for a while, and then went to see the yellow warbler. She embroidered a sachet and the pattern of two lotus flowers, which seemed to be carefully embroidered, and even the edge of the lotus leaf was carefully traced with blue azure thread. Jin Meiyin said with a smile: "Look at you are so careful, this 'lotus pengduozi', the eldest sister is about to get married, and she must take you by her side and be a person in the house." ”

The crowd laughed. Huang Ying's face turned red and said, "My cousin is so bad, she makes fun of slaves and maids like this." ”

Liucui helped beside her: "Where is the cousin bad?" In the spring of the old year, didn't you keep saying that you were going to follow your girl? How can this be ashamed again! ”

Huang Ying got up and beat her, and her mouth was still unforgiving. Jin Mei looked at the two and smiled, and inadvertently turned her eyes to Jinfang in the game, but when she saw that she had escaped from the prestige, her eyes were full of melancholy, and she didn't look like a bride before she got married.

Jin Mei was puzzled, but Aunt Qi, who was holding the sunspot, suddenly high-fived and laughed: "Look, let me turn defeat into victory!" For this dinner tonight, I'm going to Linglong Garden to eat! Jinfang had no choice but to give up, deliberately looked at everyone, and said in a slow tone: "It's really a master who can't be provoked, and such a good chess game has also made her win!" I just ate the birthday wine that the old lady gave to her wife this day, and she came to knock on us again in the evening, can you tell me, will this person be good to provoke in the future? ”

Everyone knew what it meant, and they all laughed. Aunt Qi didn't care, she pulled out the silk and said generously: "The old lady gives our wife wine, that's our wife's blessing, let's just follow a little light!" In the end, the private dishes made by the eldest girl are very rare, and I have to eat them today! ”

Jinfang stood up and pointed at her and smiled: "Listen, where is this posture of my aunt, it is clearly a debt collector!" ”

The girls and girls all laughed so hard that they couldn't hold back their momentum, and listened to Aunt Qi say: "If you don't owe me a chess debt, I won't beg for your food!" You are a big sister, in front of so many sisters, it's not easy to pay the bill. Jinfang also laughed when she heard this, and sighed: "That's it, I really met the evil star of fate today." ”

There was a joke here, but I heard someone not far away interjecting: "Big sister wants to have a treat, why don't you just invite Aunt Qi?" Everyone hurriedly turned around, but saw the third girl, Jinyu, standing there, and she was not seen for a while, and she had changed into a narrow jacket with dark flowers and a pomegranate skirt. Jin Mei looked at her twice, and slowly took her gaze back. Jinhua Xiaonizi said: "The third sister also wants to go?" ”

Jinyu said with a smile: "In the spring, the eldest sister is going to get married, I heard that the Liu family attaches great importance to this marriage, and the sister is the main mother after the door, and the scenery is glorious, so she refuses to cook anymore." We want to taste her cooking anymore, but we can't. It's better to take the opportunity to invite my aunt and reward us with dinner, which can be regarded as hurting our sisters. You say don't you? ”

Jinfang's face gradually darkened, but everyone smiled and said, "What the third girl said is exact!" Huang Ying looked at her girl's face, collected the needle and thread, and smiled when she came to her: "The third girl's words are also very true, but our girl is always uncomfortable these days, so she can't do any work." If the girl doesn't dislike it, then the slave and maid will cook it, how about it for you? ”

Jinyu glanced at her and said with a smile: "Do you think you can compare to your girls?" ”

Huang Ying pursed her lower lip and snorted: "The slave is cheap, and it can't be compared with our girl, but cooking is the work of the cook's people, and if you want our girl to do it, shouldn't the third girl also be our girl a cook?" The eldest girl is willing to treat her, but it is a bet made with her aunt before playing chess, and the third girl insists on doing so, isn't it embarrassing for the eldest girl, but also for us as maids? ”

Jinyu's face turned blue and white, and she reprimanded: "Articulate! The eldest sister Su Ri treated her subordinates leniently, is it actually to indulge in such a frivolous and cheap slave? Rushing into the master like this, I want to go back to my wife, and call her mother to drag her back! ”

"Girl, spare your life!"

Huang Ying fell to his knees with a thud, crying and begging for mercy. Jinfang hurriedly persuaded the two: "Third sister, don't worry, it turns out that I am not strict in discipline, and I don't know how to measure myself." This girl has been with me for several years, and she is usually a person who advances and retreats. I was afraid that I drank two more glasses of wine, so I made a mistake. If you go back to your wife because of these little things, will you not hurt her? - Huang Ying, don't you pay compensation to the three girls, right? ”

Huang Ying knelt on the ground and looked at Jinfang and cried, Jinfang repeatedly made her eyes, she kowtowed to Jinyu: "Ask the third girl to spare the slave and maid this time, and I won't dare to do it again in the future." ”

Jinyu snorted coldly and said, "I don't dare to offend you, you get up quickly!" When the time comes, they say that I am relying on the power to bully each other, will I not be wronged? ”

The yellow warbler fell to the ground and cried incessantly. Jinfang also couldn't persuade him, and he had no idea for a while.

"It's too much!" Jinhua stomped her feet, and was about to rush out to hug the grievances, but Jinmei hurriedly pulled her secretly and quietly pointed to the opposite side.
