Ma Fu, early in the morning, the servants performed their duties in an orderly manner under the sloppy arrangement, and the pavilions and courtyards were all cleaned, and compared with the past, they looked spotless.

Tang Haitang helped Qian Yingying and Xiaocui move from the second courtyard to the third courtyard where she lived, and in the wing room to the west, the three girls and Ma Furong lived in this courtyard.

Ma Furong didn't leave the house early this morning, and the busy servants outside were all lightly cleaning the last yard, and no one dared to make a loud noise. The entire Sanjin courtyard seemed to be uninhabited, so quiet that even the buzzing of small flying insects could be heard.

Qian Yingying, Tang Haitang, and Xiaocui sat around the newly arranged house for her, looking out of the courtyard through the open window, she had been quietly looking at the middle of the courtyard for a while, feeling bored, and suddenly sighed: "Hey! I don't know when this Miss Ma will be able to return to the capital? ”

When Ma Furong came last night, the yard seemed to be quite lively, but there was no longer the freedom and joy of the three sisters. Now everyone in this courtyard is cautious, for fear of making a little noise and disturbing Ma Furong's rest.

Qian Yingying even restrained her noisy personality in the past, she thought that she was not afraid of Ma Furong, but she didn't want to make trouble for Tang Haitang because she annoyed Ma Furong, after all, Ma Furong was Ma Xiaotian's sister, and Ma Xiaotian married Tang Haitang in the future, and Ma Furong was Tang Haitang's sister-in-law, so she couldn't let Tang Haitang make things difficult.

She couldn't get used to seeing Ma Furong coming, so she put on the style of the Ma family's housewife. Ma Xiaotian has no parents alive, and there are no other elders or daughters-in-law in the family to take care of the house for him, so the housekeeper matter was handed over to his sister, yesterday I saw Ma Furong's style and style of doing things, Qian Yingying couldn't help but worry about Tang Haitang marrying into the Ma family, if Tang Haitang married into the Ma family in the future, this Ma Furong is not easy to get along with.

Ma Furong's appearance and dress give people the feeling that she is a weak and beautiful girl, but her style of doing things is completely a scheming and means woman. Although she has no social experience, Qian Yingying can still feel that such a woman is not easy to get along with.

"This is someone's home, and it has nothing to do with us how long she likes to live." Tang Haitang stuffed a washed white apricot into Qian Yingying's mouth, and said with a smile: "We are also borrowed here, and we are guests of the Ma family, it's hard to say that the owner is not, remember, don't say that in the future!" ”

Qian Yingying's mouth was stuffed with an apricot, her mouth was occupied, and she couldn't say anything if she wanted to speak, so she had to nod her head knowingly to understand it, so she didn't say anything.

Xiaocui sat on the side, holding an embroidered round brace in her hand, embroidering a handkerchief, looking up at what Qian Yingying was eating, speechless, hesitant, feeling funny, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering without speaking.

The three of them sat around the round table in Qian Yingying's house, drinking tea and chatting. When Ma Furong didn't come, they were all enjoying the flowers and frolicking in the pavilion of the second courtyard, and today they felt that there were suddenly a lot of unknown servants outside, and they felt that they had swept Yaxing to enjoy the flowers, and there was no Yaxing in the past, so they simply hid in Qian Yingying's room to drink tea and chat.

"Tu, tu, tu" three knocks sounded on the door, and Ma Sloppy said softly outside: "Miss Qian, your father and senior brother have arrived, I have prepared a banquet in the flower hall, please come over and dine together." ”

Qian Yingying had just finished eating the white apricots in her mouth, and when she heard Ma Huo say that her father and Zhuo Songbai had arrived at Ma's house, she hurriedly spit out the apricot kernels in her mouth, and happily ran to open the door: "Ma Huo, do you mean that my father is here?" ”

When Qian Yingying heard that her father had arrived suddenly, she was in good spirits on a happy occasion, and she ran happily to open the door for Ma Sloppy without the decadence she just said. Opened the door while speaking, and was standing in front of the door waiting with a sloppy smile, Qian Yingying opened the door, and he happened to see Tang Haitang and Xiaocui sitting at the round table facing the door, and nodded and said, "Yes, Qian Ye and Young Master Zhuo have arrived." ”

Then he nodded respectfully at Tang Haitang and asked, "Miss Tang is also here, then I don't need to run errands to inform you, you can go to the flower hall to eat." ”

Tang Haitang politely thanked him for his thoughtful arrangement, and asked him again: "Is your young lady up?" Do you want to invite her out to dinner? ”

"Miss hasn't woken up yet, but Miss explained in the morning, she wants to rest today, Master Qian, they arrived, let me arrange for Miss Qian's father and daughter to reunite first, and then she will arrange a banquet for Master Qian in the evening." Ma Hao answered Tang Haitang's question and told them about Ma Furong's arrangement.

"Okay, then thank you for your thoughtful arrangement." Qian Yingying felt very good when she heard this arrangement, she didn't want to see Ma Furong, her father came, and it was just right not to see her, so she didn't have to spoil the atmosphere. She thanked Tang Haitang for her sloppyness, and then turned back to Tang Haitang and Xiaocui and said, "You two also hurry up, I'll go first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for the two to answer, they ran out of the room first and headed in the direction of the flower hall.

Seeing Qian Yingying running away in a hurry, Ma Hu hurriedly said goodbye to Tang Haitang and followed him to the flower hall, where he had to keep an eye on the meal in front of him.

Seeing the two of them leave one after the other, Tang Haitang also said to Xiao Cui: "Let's go, let's go over quickly." ”

Xiaocui put down the embroidery in her hand and looked at Tang Haitang embarrassedly: "Miss, this is Yingying's family, I still don't go." ”

"Are you going to belittle yourself again?" Tang Haitang knew what Xiaocui meant, she felt that she was Tang Haitang's maid, and she was afraid that she was not suitable to attend the banquet on this occasion.

"It's all said, you are my sister, don't pay so much attention to it, don't belittle yourself in the future. Let's go. ”

Xiaocui nodded embarrassedly, Tang Haitang now treats herself as a relative, and she is very grateful in her heart. And Tang Haitang often told her that people are born equal, so she shouldn't always be a young lady and can't let go. Go out and see the world more, women don't have to be husbands and children at home, they can also do what they like.

Xiaocui said that she likes embroidery, Tang Haitang encouraged her to do more embroidery if she has nothing to do, one can kill the boring days now, and the other is to accumulate her own skills and works, and if she has money and opportunities in the future, she will open an embroidery workshop and let Xiaocui run it herself.

These days, every day Qian Yingying pulls Tang Haitang to play the piano and paint, and Xiaocui is on the side, carefully embroidering her works.

Qian Yingying trotted all the way to the flower hall, and when she saw Qian Kun from afar, she excitedly ignored the etiquette, and shouted happily: "Dad!" Father! ”
