Chapter 169: The Spring of the Fifteenth Year of Shun'an
The spring of the fifteenth year of Thuan An has come.
This year is more than usual. The weather was much colder, it was still snowing a month ago, and half a month ago I still had to wear cotton clothes, but suddenly a warm wind blew, and the sky and the earth seemed to change color, the grass was green, the flowers were blooming, the branches grew new branches and leaves, the sun came out from behind the thick clouds, emitting a warm and dazzling light, and the new thin spring clothes on the girls' bodies announced that spring was finally long overdue.
This is Chunying's fifth year after crossing into this world. In less than two months, she will be sixteen years old. Although her appearance is still too immature, in the eyes of everyone around her, she is already a slim girl. Sometimes, when she looks at herself in the bronze mirror, she is still quite satisfied, her facial features are not amazing, but she is also delicate and lovely, with two thin eyebrows and bright eyes. The bridge of the nose is straight, and the lip color is naturally red, which is more youthful than before the crossing.
Because of the lack of pollution and chemicals in ancient times, her skin is good, there are no acne, and there are no blackheads, but she is not white and delicate; The hair is dark and dense, but it is slightly too soft and shiny. She has the heart to do a little care for herself, but she is troubled by the fact that raw materials are not easy to obtain, and her personal freedom is limited, so she can only use a few basic care products that the ancient maids loved to use: eggs, head oil, duck egg powder, and cucumbers from the kitchen.
Fortunately, she usually attaches great importance to sports, and she has to ask for some errands to run errands all over the house, so her figure is more slender than others, and her waist is more straight. She didn't notice the gazes thrown at her by others, but simply thought: Good health is the capital of **!
Chunying put up the pergola in her hand, looked at the sunshine in the sky, and felt that the degree of sunshine was not too bad, so she didn't need to look back to take an extra umbrella, so she took the fan in her hand, greeted the breeze, and walked towards the garden.
She first reached the foot of the hill and found that Miss Biao and the others had left the flower garden there. Hurriedly grabbed a passing maid ring and asked, only to know where they went, hurriedly turned to the direction of the small lake, and after a long distance, he had heard bursts of laughter like silver bells.
The second lady Yijun stepped on the swing, kept calling the girls to push up, and as the swing swayed back and forth, her primrose-green embroidered skirt fluttered in the wind, reflecting the begonia red gauze shirt, like a flower butterfly. Huo Yi kept smiling and looking at it at the bottom, but the third young lady next to her, Xijun, turned pale. After a while, Yijun's maids were worried that she was physically exhausted, so they persuaded her to reluctantly slow down and slowly get off the swing.
Yijun took the silk handkerchief from Cuiyu's hand and exhaled: "It's so happy! It's fun! Do you want to try my cousin and third sister? ”
Huo Yi smiled and shook his head: "My dress today is not very suitable, let's talk about it later, this autumn jade has been built, you can play it whenever you want." ”
Yijun saw that she was only wearing homely clothes today, only her hair was combed in a chic style, which seemed to be not very stable. didn't force it, and instead stared at his sister Xijun: "You go up and try?" Seeing Xijun shaking her head, she frowned: "Cousin, I just won't try it today, and I'll play it next time, you don't even have the courage to try?!" She pointed around, "You see how thick the grass is on the ground?!" This swing is sturdy, I've been swinging for so long, and besides, we still have so many people, is it possible that we will still fall you?! ”
Xijun just shook his head blindly, tears were about to come out, Yijun simply hated iron and steel: "What are you crying for?!" If you don't want to, you won't want to, so can you say no?! When others see it, they think I'm bullying you! Huo Yi held back a smile and persuaded softly: "Second sister, third sister is just shy, you have always known everything, why bother her?" ”
Yijun hurriedly said: "Cousin, how did I not know that she was shy?" But she's too shy! I'm her sister, not a tiger, I won't eat her, but she doesn't even dare to speak out loud in front of me, and when she goes outside, won't she lose the face of our family?! He scolded Xijun again: "You are this coward!" I don't have the bearing of a young lady at all, no wonder even the girl has to bully you! ”
Xijun lowered her head with a pale face, her maid couldn't look at it, and stood up and said: "Second Miss, what you said is unfair, our young lady has always respected her sisters, so she didn't dare to bump into you, and even my wife said that our young lady understands etiquette!" Besides, we are loyal to our young lady. When did the bullying hit her?! You can't talk nonsense and let your wife know and punish us. ”
Yijun sneered and wanted to open his mouth to dismiss it, Huo Yi saw that it was not good, and gave Jing Shi who was sitting in the pavilion a look, and Jing came over with a smile and said: "Okay, everyone has been playing for half a day, and they should be tired, so go to the pavilion and sit and rest." Second sister, you are sweating just now, let's go back and change your clothes, otherwise you will have a headache when you turn back. ”
Yijun's attention was diverted: "I'm having fun, what are you going to do when you go back?" I didn't sweat much, and I'm in good health! ”
Jing didn't persuade much, only pulled her with one hand, and Xijun with the other, and walked into the pavilion, Huo Yi slowly followed, and when he arrived in the pavilion, he sat down on the stone chair next to the table.
Chunying had been waiting on the side for a long time, and when she saw this, she hurriedly walked over and handed over the fan: "Miss, your fan." Huo Yi took it with a smile and lightly fanned it again. Chunying retreated in understanding.
Unexpectedly, when Yijun saw Chunying, he pulled her with a smile and said, "You girl, why don't you come to my yard to play?" What kind of flower and fruit tea you made a few days ago tastes excellent, I was about to ask you to brew it for me a few more times! Chunying was stunned, and her eyes couldn't help but glance at Huo Yi's side.
Because Huo Yi and her cousins often come and go, the maids of several people have long been acquainted, but Chunying always remembers that the second miss is the second young master's sibling, and she has some pimples in her heart, so she just maintains the courtesy on her face. I didn't walk around her in private, and as soon as I heard Yijun say this, I subconsciously wanted to know what Huo Yi meant, and I wouldn't go unless the latter agreed to her.
Where does Yijun know so much about it? I just thought that Chunying was worried about the current master, so she pouted: "You are still from our family, why did you turn your arms out?" Could it be that I want to eat your pot of tea, and you still refuse to agree?! ”
Jing smiled: "What are you talking about, girl?" Hurry up and compensate your cousin! Chunying is her maid, if you want to ask someone to do the work, you have to ask the master first, right? Chunying is still polite as a girl, why are you a young lady reckless? ”
Yijun lowered his head a little embarrassed, and Huo Yi smiled: "It's okay, the second sister is just straightforward." He said to Yijun again: "I, this girl, was originally from your family, you want to call her, you should be, but I still want her to do things, I can't cheapen you for nothing." The eldest cousin is here to set up a chess game, we will borrow her chess for a game, if you win, I will lend Chunying to you for a day, if I win......"
"Then the copy of the three unique monuments I got before will belong to you!"
"Good!" Huo Yi agreed, "Chunying, clean up the chessboard!" ”
Chunying pressed the emotions in her heart and smiled and bowed: "Yes." Then he sorted out the chess pieces on the stone table and placed them in front of the two of them.
Yijun guessed first, Huo Yi smiled, and picked two sunspots unhurriedly, and the result was that Yijun took the white first. Yijun put on the offensive at the beginning, and the momentum was fierce. Huo Yi responded calmly, and the momentum was slightly inferior at the beginning, but it slowly turned into an advantage, and unconsciously, the big dragon that had besieged Yijun. Yijun blindly attacked, and when he found that he had fallen into the trap, he was a little scrambling, and finally found that he could not save the overall situation no matter what. I had to throw the chess pieces in my hand back into the can, and shouted in frustration: "I lost!" ”
Huo Yi smiled and said "Concession", signaled Chunying to pack up the chess pieces, and then said generously: "I also love to eat that flower and fruit tea, and I am thinking of asking Chunying to cook it again when she is free, I wonder if the eldest cousin, second sister, and third sister are interested in coming to taste it?" ”
Yijun gritted his teeth again, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I really can't help you!" Then he pushed his sister: "Did you hear that?" My cousin invited us to be a guest! ”
Xijun seemed to have just woken up from his contemplation and was startled: "Huh? Ah, yes! Thank you cousin. ”
Yijun frowned: "What are you doing in a daze?!" How many times have I told you? Listen to people! ”
Xijun shrunk his neck and whispered, "Yes, second sister......"
Yijun's eyes looked like they were about to hit someone, Jing was busy pulling her, Huo Yi was smiling on the side, and suddenly saw a young woman walking over, wearing a red gown, but it was the second young master's weaving painting.
Weaving walked to the pavilion and looked at the pavilion timidly, hesitating to know whether to speak or not. Huo Yi glanced at Chunying, then lowered her eyes, and Chunying had to remind Yijun instead of her: "Second Miss, it seems that someone is looking for you." ”
Yijun turned his head to look, frowned and asked, "Why are you?" What's the matter?! ”
Weaving came forward in surprise and said, "Second Miss, my aunt asked you to go, she said...... She said...... "Glancing timidly at Jing," she said, "She said she had something important to discuss with you." ”
Yijun waved his hand impatiently: "Didn't you see that I was busy?!" I'll talk about it when I get back! He ignored her, and just tugged at Chunying's sleeve: "The tea to be brewed this time, the recipe is different from the last time, okay?" You said there are many recipes. ”
Chunying replied with a smile: "Okay, what does the second lady want to drink?" It's just that there are not many fruits in this season, and many teas can't be made. ”
They were talking about Huaguo tea here with great interest, but the other end of the painting was so anxious that they couldn't help but call again: "Second Miss......"
"What are you still doing here? Say something! ”
"What is my aunt going to say...... It's ......" Weaving Hua peeked at the others again, gritting his teeth, "It's the second young master!" Just now, the Hou Ye discussed with his wife that he wanted to bring the second young master back! My aunt specially invites you to discuss this matter! ”
Yijun stood up suddenly, and after the surprise, he was a little dazed. Since the second brother failed the imperial examination that year, he gradually lost the favor of his grandmother and father, and later caused all kinds of incidents one after another, and also engaged a high-climbing marriage, but it didn't take long for him to be sent to the grange outside the city for a rumor that he didn't know whether it was true or not. She was sad at first, after all, this was her own brother, and he had always loved her, but after a long time, she had almost forgotten about him, and now, could he finally come back? Will it just stay for a few days, or will it stay forever?
Thinking of this, she was not in the mood to play anymore, so she hurriedly confessed to her sister-in-law and sisters, and left with the weaving painting. Leaving Jing, Huo Yi and others in the same place, they had their own thoughts in their hearts.
Chun Ying frowned secretly, it had only been three years of quiet days, and the second young master was coming back again?。.。
