The garden has been prepared with all the things to beg for it.

Under the moonlight, a sour branch wooden table was placed, on which tea, wine, fruits, five sons (longan, red dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, melon seeds) and other offerings were placed; There are also a few flowers, bunched red paper, inserted in a bottle, a small incense burner in front of the flowers, and three bowls of water that will be dried in the afternoon.

The three of them were served by maids to clean their hands, burn incense, and each of them picked up a needle and carefully placed it in their own bowls full of water.

Jiying's needle shadow is like a hibiscus flower, which is said to be skillful, Tang Wan's needle shadow is as thick as a hammer, thin as silk, straight as wax, it is clumsy, Baozhi's embroidery needle did not float, but sank into the water, there is no needle shadow.

Baozhi was stunned for a moment, her needle had not floated in the past few years.

Tang Wan looked at Baozhi stunned and relieved: "I think it's better to sink, I floated in vain, and I ended up with a clumsy word." ”

Ji Ying was also busy haha: "It's just a matter of begging for a lottery, Bao'er doesn't have to be sad, who said that if you ask for a coincidence, it must be a coincidence." ”

"That's right, I'm clumsy, am I clumsy?" Tang Wan praised.

Baozhi pursed his lips and smiled: "I'm not sad, of course you're not clumsy, you're the most ingenious person I've ever met." ”

"Okay, you, I coaxed you kindly, but you made fun of me, see that I don't clean you up." Tang Wan caught Baozhi scratching her, and the two giggled and twisted.

Ji Ying covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled, and asked the maid to bring the picked impatiens to wipe her nails, and Baozhi Aimei also came over to let Du Ruo help wipe them, Tang Wan didn't like these, so she sat on the small embroidery pier on the side and ate her beloved crispy walnuts while listening to them talk.

"I'll send some food to Xingchen later, she's sorry for herself."

Xingchen was grounded, sitting alone in the courtyard looking at the moon in a daze.

The door of the "buckle" courtyard was knocked gently.

Xingchen looked back and saw that it was the long-bodied cousin Tingjun.

"Why did my cousin come to the inner courtyard so late?" Xingchen lowered his head and felt a little uncomfortable.

Tingjun was a little embarrassed to be asked, his face was slightly red, and he scratched his head: "I heard that you were grounded by your grandmother, today is the Begging Festival, come and see you." ”

Xingchen raised his head in some surprise: "Come and see me?" ”

Tingjun stammered: "That, that, I'm a little abrupt." I'm sorry. ”

Xingchen saw that Cousin Tingjun wanted to leave, and hurriedly said, "Since you're here, let's sit here for a while." ”

"Okay."

Tingjun stretched out his hand and handed over the things he had been holding in his hand: "The fragrant cake I made by Baozhi before, you can take it to lavender." ”

Xingchen looked at the big hand stretched out in front of him and was stunned, before Baozhi said that Cousin Tingjun's begging for her was to make fragrant cakes for her.

took the fragrant cake and thanked Cousin Tingjun.

"Cousin, do you want to climb a tree?" When she was a child, she often climbed trees like a boy at home, and she liked it when she went to her grandfather's house.

Tingjun smiled and pulled up the stars and jumped on the branch flexibly: "No need to compare." ”

The two sat side by side on the tree: "Cousin, do you know the story of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl?" ”

Tingjun pondered for a moment: "I know, when I was a child, my grandmother would often tell us. Pointing to the sky: "That is Altair, look at Vega in the distance." ”

"In the middle is the Tianhe." Xingchen looked down Tingjun's hand.

"You say they're so far apart that they can really see each other every year?" The stars looked at the sky.

"Yes, my grandmother said that as long as your heart is in one place, no matter how far away, you are not afraid." Tingjun said solemnly.

"Riverside Vega, Riverside Morning Glory. I didn't have to cross the shallow, and I looked at each other relatively far away. The verse came softly from the mouth of the stars.

"I think it's a year of begging and being clever in the world, but there are many tricks in the world. That's right. Tingjun laughed.

Xingchen also chuckled: "There are so many stars today, it seems that the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd are in a good mood to meet." ”

"Where does this start?" Tingjun was puzzled.

"My grandmother said that if it rains on this day, it proves that the Weaver Girl is crying. It seems that you didn't pay attention to your grandmother's story. Xingchen said, "I often lose my temper and bully Baozhi, do you think I am annoying too?" ”

Tingjun said: "People always have to grow up, and you will always get married one day in the future." ”

"I sometimes feel that I am too willful, but I can't control my temper, and I always reflect on myself after losing my temper." Facing Tingjun Xingchen, he unconsciously said what was in his heart.

"When I was at home, my parents, brothers and sisters spoiled me, and the maids didn't dare to mess with me, and when I arrived at my grandmother's house, my sisters were more beautiful than me, and after Baozhi arrived, everyone said that she was beautiful and well-behaved and sensible, and the girls were better looking than me, and I wanted to bully when I saw Baozhi." Xiang Tingjun slowly said his thoughts.

"Your beauty is different from theirs." Tingjun was silent for a long time and said what was in his heart.

Xingchen looked at Tingjun with a pair of shiny Danfeng eyes: "I ...... me too Is it beautiful? ”

Tingjun nodded: "In my opinion, it is beautiful." ”

If she could, the stars in the future hoped that time could stay at that moment, when she and her cousin could lean against the tree and look at the starry sky, they could speak freely, and they could entrust their hearts...

After that, Xingchen was ungrounded, and there was no trouble in the treasure hunt.

The whole person is indescribably brilliant, and Bao Zhi and Ji Ying are also brothers, friends and brothers, although sometimes the temper is still uncontrollable, but it is much better than in the past.

Baozhi quietly mentioned to Zhao that Xingchen suddenly changed his temperament, whether he was sick. was teased by the Zhao family, "Silly boy, your sister Xingchen has grown up." ”

Well, it's because she's worrying too much.

"Found?" Sun crackled into the ledger and made calculations.

Sun Youjia leaned over and whispered: "The reason should be that the eldest young master gave Miss Bao more food, and Miss Xingchen was not happy." ”

Sun frowned: "The eldest aunt just mentioned that she and Brother Jun were married, so she couldn't sit still?" It's going to be like this at a young age. ”

"The little maid who came also said that the eldest young master was a treasure girl who met alone." Sun Youjia added.

Sun snorted: "Brother Jun, this stupid child, let these girls in the house calculate and turn around." ”

Sun Youjia was a little hesitant, and his eyes flickered a little: "Madam, there is another thing I don't know whether to talk about or not." ”

Say. Just say it. Sun was a little annoyed.

"On the night of the begging festival the day before yesterday, a maid saw the eldest young master enter the inner courtyard." Sun Youjia's voice was like a mosquito, and he said vaguely.

Sun raised his head, his eyes widened angrily, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you go?" ”

Sun You's family knows the seriousness of this matter, men and women are seven years old, the eldest young master has already moved to live in the outer courtyard, not to mention that the inner courtyard is now living in Miss Cousin, Sun You's family stumbled and said: "I only know that when I entered the inner courtyard, the eldest young master practiced martial arts quickly, and the maid didn't keep up." ”

"What about Songmo, the little guy next to him doesn't know? Tie it up, ask! Sun said angrily.

"Mrs. can't help it, if it is tied up, it will make everyone know, this is not suitable for publicity." Sun Youjia swallowed and persuaded.

Sun Shi calmed down and thought about it for a while: "I've been watching me these days, don't make any trouble, and he will come back and let Songmo come over in a while." ”

Sun You's family responded quietly and retreated.

In the past few days, Baozhi has been idle and thinks about the three princes mentioned by Tang Wan that day, in his previous life, he was discovered by the prince to plot rebellion, implicating his brother and uncle, as well as the letter sent by Chu Yao, Baozhi always felt that there was a looming line, she seemed to be able to see but not touch.
