Yi Yi looked at the sensitive Uncle Feng, his back was a little familiar but he had never seen it, the snow on the plum blossoms on the branches was blown by the wind and fell, Yi Yi reached out to pick it up, and whispered in his mouth, "What does the snow look like?" ”

"Fourth Miss, who does you think is appropriate for Mrs. Xie, her brother and daughter?" Uncle Feng Xu heard her words and laughed loudly.

"The difference between sprinkling salt and air can be imitated, but if the catkins are raised by the wind. There is no way to argue with each other, but I prefer to sprinkle salt in the air. Yi's voice was faint, and she couldn't hear the emotion.

"Lao Er thought the latter sentence was softer." Uncle Feng shook his head, the smile on his face did not decrease in the slightest, and he stopped what he was doing and looked at Yi's lips, "One is artificial, and the other conforms to natural changes, what does Miss Fourth think?" ”

"The former sentence focuses on 'sprinkling', and the latter sentence focuses on 'cause', but they all describe the scene of the sudden snow in Russia, so I say that each has its own merits." Yi hooked his lips and smiled lightly, looking at Uncle Fu's face full of furrows with soft eyes.

Uncle Feng laughed when he heard this, the color of satisfaction in his eyes became stronger, he stretched out his finger and pointed to the plum blossom on Yi's lips, and pointed to the camellia beside him, and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, this plum blossom is different from the camellia?" ”

"Aoxue Hanmei blooms alone, and only Yiren comes to step on incense. I know that the cold plum is through the bones, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. The ancients often lamented that plum blossoms stood proudly in the wind and snow, which attracted the children of today's families. But few people know that 'the old leaves are cold and strong, and the scarlet is a little bit in the snow', and 'the early spring branches are alone, and the plum fights the wind and snow.'" 'The camellia. ”

"Which one do the four ladies prefer?" Uncle Feng nodded and asked.

"Hanmei is only seen in winter, and camellia extends from winter to spring." Yi Yi reached out and picked up the plum petals that fell on his shoulder, walked to the camellia and put it next to one of the red camellias, and smiled and whispered, "Speaking of which, I like camellia more." ”

Uncle Feng continued to prune the branches of the camellia, and his voice was quite old, "When I saw you in the backyard orchard that day, I knew that you were not in the pool." It's just that all things are mutually reinforcing, and the extremes of things must be reversed, and the moon will be lost. ”

"Although things must be opposed, can they be extremely Tailai. There is no way for good or evil, but people call themselves. ”

"It's the little old man who is stupid," Uncle Feng replied with a smile.

Yi Yan stopped talking, turned around and went into the house, Uncle Feng didn't leave her, Yi Yan stood at the door and paused for a while and muttered, "The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow." ”

"Fourth Miss, is she impatient to be bothered by Uncle Feng?" Aunt Guan asked when she saw her enter the door.

Yi lip closed the door and walked to the back room, even though there was an air conditioner, he still felt that it was a little cold today, "Uncle Feng is very knowledgeable. "Lip to the point.

"Twenty years forward, Uncle Feng is a famous Confucian." Aunt Guan explained with a smile.

"Uncle Feng is quite unique in his insights, and he can afford the word Hongru." Yi Yi walked in and answered, keeping her eyes on the red silk thread in Aunt Guan's hand, "What is Aunt Guan going to do?" ”

"It's not about to be the New Year, and I'm thinking of making up a few auspicious ruyi knots, and when the time comes, there will be festivity inside and out."

"That's a good job." Yi Yan sat on the single sofa, reached out and picked up the red rope on the coffee table and asked, "I can learn this, and I can also make a few in the future for the Chinese New Year, but Aunt Guan can teach me." ”

"Miss Fourth wants to learn from me, where dare not teach, there are not many people who like to play with these old-fashioned things these days."

"Maybe I'm an old-school guy." Yi Yan slowly wrapped her lips like Aunt Guan and replied casually.

The first Yi lip did not do well, and even a little discouraged and wanted to give up, but when she caught a glimpse of the concerned smile in Aunt Guan's eyes, she seemed to feel inappropriate, and she picked it up and restarted it, and asked Aunt Guan if she forgot the steps, and Aunt Guan happily taught her by hand.

"Isn't Aunt Qu coming back today?" Yi asked casually, but her eyes were fixed on the knot in her hand, and she looked quite serious.

"I guess I'll have to wait a few days, I heard that the little old lady has a bad appetite, so she asked Aunt Qu to cook medicinal food."

Yi lip paused in his hand and then continued the movement in his hand, when he first came, he asked Aunt Qu how many years she hadn't been back, Aunt Qu had been back for eight years, but now why was she called over three times and twice, and it took four or five days to stay at a time, did the Yi family's old house hear any rumors?

Dinka came down the stairs, holding a large cardboard box in his hand, and smiled at them grimly.

"What are you doing here?" Yi asked curiously.

"Fourth Miss, the storage room hasn't been cleaned up for a year, I'll deal with those things I don't want," Dinka said and put the box on the ground and complained to Aunt Guan, "I said Aunt Guan, I have time to clean up the storage room too, it's all dust." ”

"As far as you're hypocritical, I'll let someone help clean it up in a hurry, okay?" Aunt Guan glanced at Dingka with disgust.

"Then thank you Aunt Guan for her great kindness," Dinka said, picked up the cardboard box and walked out, and soon disappeared.

Aunt Guan looked at the figure of Dinka running out, smiled and shook her head, "This Dinka is the same as a child, and the three young people don't dislike it, if other rich families don't know that the skin will be drawn off two layers." ”

"Dinka doesn't look like he's in his twenties, why do you just do some odd jobs in Qi Longcang?"

"Dinka was picked up by Sanshao eight years ago, and now he is helping in the Royal Restaurant, living in the backyard, and when he is not working, he comes back to help us work, which is a good child."

Yi Yi nodded silently.

Aunt Guan tied a knot, raised her head and glanced at Yi Li, and then smiled, "Aunt Qu also told us before that you don't like to talk and don't like to be close, so let's not disturb you." ”

"It's true that I don't like to be close, but it's not good to say that I don't like to talk." Yi Yi raised her head and looked at Aunt Guan seriously, "When you are in a good mood, it is inevitable that you will say a few more words." ”

Aunt Guan looked at Yi's lips with a smile, and deliberately asked tentatively, "Is the fourth young lady in a good mood today?" ”

"Hmm......" Yi lip thought for a while before smiling lightly, "It's not bad, Aunt Guan, do you think I'm making it up?" As he spoke, he handed the half-finished auspicious wishful knot in his hand to Aunt Guan.

After reading it, Aunt Guan repeatedly praised her for being smart, ingenious, and a rare studious person.

Yi Yan took the half-finished knot and continued to weave down, "Aunt Guan, how many people are there in Qi Longcang?" ”

"You want to say that there are not many people now, and you want to say that there are many people in the New Year."

"Why?" Yi was puzzled.

"Usually, Aunt Qu and I, Uncle Fu and Uncle Feng take care of the inside and outside, and there are four old guys who work in the backyard who are over forty-five years old, and this young one comes back to help occasionally. But the Chinese New Year is different, during the New Year, such as Xiuwen, Chengyuan, and Li Zhun will come, and occasionally Jiang Yu and Han Huo will also come. ”

"Oh." Yi Li replied and didn't ask anything more, what Uncle Feng said just now is extremely right, everything must be reversed. If it weren't for that, Aunt Qu wouldn't be wary of her now, there was a gap between the two, Yi Rong had a simple temperament, and she would say what she asked, but Aunt Qu and Aunt Guan are different, people who have lived for half a life are always more thorough, and her third brother will not put some people who have no eyesight in front of her.

Aunt Guan is not a chatterbox, but she knows how to behave in the world, she knows what to say, what to say, what not to say, when to say what to say, and how to answer what questions are also very ingenious, neither refuting the interest of the questioner nor putting herself in an embarrassing situation, it seems that Aunt Qu alone is not Qi Longcang's façade, if you want to talk about it, I am afraid that Uncle Feng and Uncle Fu, together with a few people who have not seen in the backyard, are probably also human spirits in the years.

Lip began to have some doubts about what she had done and how things were going, and although she expected them to be promoted, how smoothly they happened made her vaguely uneasy.

At noon, Yi Yi didn't eat and went out to Qi Longcang, and Qiao Yuan, who was supposed to go to Qi Longcang to make up for her, didn't go to Qi Longcang, and the two found a relatively remote café to find a secluded corner.

There was a stack of books and two cups of coffee on the table, Qiao Yuan looked around and didn't find that the acquaintance was a little cramped and uneasy, looking at the light and breezy lips opposite.

Yi glanced at Qiao Yuan, took in the panic on her face, and sneered, "What, are you afraid?" ”

Qiao Yuan's face was even more panicked, his hands were cramped and uneasy together, his eyes seemed to be a little eager and a little panicked, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look directly at Yi Li's eyes, seeing Yi Li's face with ridicule, and his eyes were full of coldness, Qiao Yuan didn't dare to speak, for fear of saying too many mistakes, especially in front of Yi Li, who was quietly watched by Yi Li, and felt that she was seen clearly by her from the inside out.

"I haven't said anything, you're afraid of being like this, if you settle the account later, do you have to faint directly?" Yi raised his eyebrows, his tone was light, he looked down at his hand, looked over and over again, ignoring the panic on Qiao Yuan's face, and asked with a smile, "Do you think my hands look good?" As he spoke, he stretched out his left hand in front of Qiao Yuan.

"Good...... It looks good" Qiao Yuan was startled, looked at Yi's hand, swallowed his saliva and said.

"And do you think this knife looks good?" Yi Yan said, and with his right hand, he took out a delicate knife from his pocket and placed it on the table, but it was only twenty centimeters long, and the silver shell was delicately carved with lines that looked like scorpions and centipedes.

Qiao Yuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were frightened, and his body had begun to tremble.

"I ask you, is this knife pretty?" Yi asked faintly, with a harmless smile on his face.

"You...... You...... What are you doing? Qiao Yuan's current mood can no longer be described as afraid, she doesn't know why she chose the two-sided knife approach in the first place, and now she understands what Yi Yan warned her at the beginning, she thought it was a joke, but now it seems that she is naïve.

Yi lip withdrew his hand, reached out and picked up the knife on the table and pulled it out, after the blade was illuminated by the light in the room, when Yi lip rotated the blade, a cold light flashed and shook Qiao Yuan's eyes, Yi lip slowly elaborated, "I have fought with these hands, written, climbed over the fence and climbed over the tree, but" Yi lip said this, raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Yuan, with a weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and his voice was much lighter, "I just haven't killed anyone." ”
