CHAPTER XVIII

In my memory, Baifu has never been so busy as it is now.

In addition to running to Mama Li, Mrs. Mu is also busy with the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival. The affairs of the Bai Mansion are also controlled by her personally.

As the first lady of the White Mansion, no matter what the situation, Mrs. Mu is also a soldier who will block the water and cover the earth, and manage the mansion properly inside and out.

The people in the house are also busy with their feet not touching the ground, and they are bouncing like springs all day long.

Baifu is different from other mansions, except for family members and some maidservants, few people usually come to visit the door, which seems a little deserted.

After all, the military aircraft are heavy, and they are afraid of trouble, and military secrets are afraid that they will be leaked at all, in case there is something missing, and they can't afford to wait

Second, the government is heavily guarded, and anyone who enters and leaves the house must be strictly inspected, even if they are their own people, they are all the same people, and they are all on official business.

For this reason, I slept very soundly every night, and never worried that a thief would come and steal the two taels of silver in my pocket.

Although I have been here for a long time, I also know that there are many people to avoid suspicion, and I try not to ask what should be asked and what should not be asked.

Even if there is something I can't figure out, I like to squat in front of the dog hole and touch my head and figure it out, more things are better than less things, I still know this.

In the past, Xuan Shi asked me why I always like to squat in front of the dog hole, because the door is heavily guarded and it is inconvenient to go out, and I want to sneak out to play with the help of this dog hole, and said that I originally had this hobby and liked to drill dog holes.

My angry teeth rattled, and I really wanted to hang this little Tai Sui and beat him violently.

I also blame me for spoiling him too much on weekdays, in order to shorten the distance between each other, I don't hesitate to put down my body and call him a brother, and I am used to him as neither big nor small, and I have no respect for my superiors.

Later, I thought about it carefully, the dog cave is really not good, there is a bad style, the next time it will be changed next to the pigsty, after all, Xuanxuan, this little Tai Sui is not afraid of anything, just afraid of pigs.

Very good.

But where is the mystery now? I heard Mrs. Mu say that during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xuan Xuan came back, and I have been looking forward to this day.

I hurriedly ate a few pieces of pastry, and when I saw Ai'er coming in with mushroom porridge, I quickly snatched it from her hand and put a spoonful to eat, but it was so hot that I tore a mouth.

Ai'er watched anxiously and smiled from the sidelines, "Sir, slow down, slow down, and whatever." She fanned me with a fan and ate it, and it was all over in a while.

I picked up a thin shirt and walked out, and Ai'er asked me, "Sir, where are you in a hurry to go this early in the morning?"

I winked at Ai'er and smiled weirdly, "I'll go to the lover."

Ai'er shrank her neck in fright.

From a distance, I saw Bai Qingrui standing at the gate, and she smiled smartly when she saw me coming.

Walking to the door, I glanced at Azu, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, and I asked Azu, "What about Rourou".

Azu pouted at me, and when I looked back, I saw Rourou standing in the courtyard looking at me.

I waved to her, and I ran up to me and asked me "sir."

I said, "Are you on duty today, if you don't have a shift, hang out with us."

Rourou hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, wait for me to change my clothes."

Our three delicate women talked and laughed all the way, attracting many passers-by.

Not far away, I saw a pawnshop selling rouge gouache, and I said to Bai Qingrui and Rouju, "Let's go, go in and have a look."

I went in with my front foot, and she followed with her with my back foot.

Bai Qingrui couldn't move her steps happily when she saw the rouge gouache, but she looked at the jewelry in the store with a disdainful look, and then twisted her head to the side to look at the pedestrians on the street.

The counter in the store is full of jewelry, a dazzling array of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple.

I scanned the entire shop and finally landed on a bronze mirror.

The two fish embroidered on the bronze mirror are alive and well, and when you look at it from a distance, there is a feeling of being eager to try and swim.

In particular, the four big characters in the mirror are very suitable for the situation, "a hundred years of good fit".

Just in handy.

Bai Qingrui chose a box of rouge made of petals, half pink, half purple.

Continuing to wander around, every place that sells rouge gouache or brightly colored silk shops, Bai Qingrui has to go in to take a look and touch it.

Rourou and I couldn't do anything about her, so we could only follow her and be led around by her.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a gong, like a street performer.

Bai Qingrui hurriedly ran to see the excitement, I gave Rourou a look, and hurriedly followed.

squeezed in desperately, and finally squeezed to the front.

But the man in the center of the field had a long sword in his hand, and he put it in his mouth on his back.

The crowd of onlookers behind him exclaimed in fright, and everyone held their breath, staring at the young man without blinking.

I saw that the sword body was getting shorter and shorter, and it was getting shorter and shorter, and finally I couldn't even see the hilt of the sword.

The man opened his mouth, but it was empty.

Wonderful, a burst of crackling applause, everyone was happy to watch, and threw copper coins into the dustpan.

Rourou threw a roll of her eyes over, and said "carving insect skills" in her mouth.

I also echoed her and said "carving insect skills".

Bai Qingrui blinked and asked us, "What's the matter, Mr. Su is not interested".

I smiled dryly at her, "No, it's wonderful."

It took a lot of effort to squeeze out of the crowd, and was about to go in the other direction, when several oncoming men blocked the way.

One of the men looked at Bai Qingrui, pulled her into his arms, and said, "Good Peugeot girl, go, go and play with your master."

I slapped the man's arm, and the man grabbed my wrist with a backhand, and I couldn't move.

Seeing this, Rourou came up and slapped the left and right fists in the man's face.

The man wanted to fight back, but Rourou punched again, causing the man to scream in pain.

I secretly cheered for Rourou in my heart, and it was not a loss that I learned boxing from Azu.

Seeing this, the two men in the back hurriedly came over to help, one pulling Rourou's left hand and the other pulling his right hand.

You can't move, you can only kick with your feet.

Even though she learned some horsemanship, swordsmanship, and archery skills in Baifu, and learned fist and foot kung fu from Azu, she couldn't resist the strength of the two sturdy men.

The man in front of him was about to hook Bai Qingrui's chin with his fingers.

I heard someone scolding behind him, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, I dare to make a mistake, don't you want this dog's life?"

When I looked back, I saw that it was Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng, two brothers, and my heart suddenly jumped with joy.

The man in front of him said contemptuously, "These two, you are late, these three girls have already belonged to our brothers, and I hope that the two of you will be convenient."

Bai Xiaoqiu's temper came up, rushed forward and twisted the man's arm, and then kicked the man's leg, the man knelt on one knee on the ground, and shouted "Master, spare your life".

Bai Qingrui hurriedly ran over and stood beside Bai Yan Leng, chattering, "Fourth uncle and fifth uncle, they bullied me."

Bai Yan smiled faintly at her and said, "Now you can go and take revenge."

Bai Qingrui took a few steps forward, slapped the man in the face twice, and then raised his foot and stepped on it hard.

Bai Xiaoqiu and Bai Yanleng made a special trip to buy a birthday gift for Mama Li.

Seeing that the two of them were empty-handed, I was happy and led them to a shop that sold birthday gifts.

I picked out a whole piece of cloth, and there was an old birthday star holding a peach with a deer and flying bats on it. The meaning of the homonym "Lu" is "Lu"; Bat homonym "Fu", meaning happiness is always accompanied, and the word "耄" in the picture is the meaning of longevity, and the peony flower is a symbol of wealth.

When I handed this longevity gift to Bai Yanleng, he smiled and said, "Those who know me should be Feifeiye."

I smiled back at him.

Even if I didn't raise my head, at this time, I could feel that Bai Xiaoqiu was looking at me.

Quietly walked to the pawnshop next door and carefully selected a pillow, not the usual hard and cold pillow, but fluffy and soft, very comfortable to the touch.

I think that Mama Li has been lying in bed for a long time, only one skin is left, and her hands and feet are cold, maybe she wants to lie down more comfortably, and hopes that Bai Xiaoqiu can be as intimate as her own son.

When I hugged the pillow to Bai Xiaoqiu, several people were stunned.

Bai Xiaoqiu didn't have any opinions, and said softly, "Thank you."

Bai Yan on the side pursed his lips coldly, and suddenly coquettishly said to me, "Feifei, you are so eccentric."

I was silent, just a faint smile. I thought to myself, the smartest person in the world is none other than Bai Yan Leng.

I looked at it, felt that the time was almost up, and pulled Bai Qingrui and Rourou forward.

Bai Yan coldly called me, "Feifei, aren't you going back home with us?" ”

I said, "I have an important thing to do today, Nineteen Shao, do you want to come together?"

This is a large inn with three floors, each floor is hung with red lanterns, and red auspicious flowers are all over the inn.

There were twenty seats in the inn, and the seats were full. The delicacies on the table are delicious, and the osmanthus wine is fragrant.

A couple of newcomers stood in the middle of the Jian Terrace and saw me coming. The bride hurriedly caught up, threw her hands on my arms, and said earnestly, "Thank you Miss Su for all this for me, the girl's great kindness and virtue will never be forgotten by my Zheng family." After finishing the word, I wanted to shed tears.

I held the bride's hand tightly and said excitedly, "Don't thank me, you deserve it."

The bridegroom led us to a room on the second floor, where we were already stocked with delicious food and drink.

The bride and bride toasted me three glasses of wine, and I returned the salute.

Then he saluted a room full of people.

Immediately afterward, I heard the sound of firecrackers and the sonorous and lively gongs and drums, and I hurriedly leaned on the window and looked down.

I saw a long brocade dragon dancing on the field outside the inn, which led to the jubilation of the audience.

The lion dance girl wears a gorgeous dragon costume, dances the long dragon, shuttles forward, and soars into the sky, not a real dragon is better than a real dragon. The superb technical performance won unanimous applause inside and outside the venue.

The gong is getting tighter and tighter, the drum is beating more and more densely, the people are getting more and more dangerous, the lion is jumping higher and higher, and the people's cries are undulating with the performance.

In the end, the lion came out of the hole, to the ready to go, and then to the sky, the double lion grabbed the ball, and returned with a full load.

When I was leaving, I showed the bride the bronze mirror that I had prepared in advance when no one was looking. The bride shook my hand, and I held her hand, looking at each other and smiling.
