"Hmm." After a while, Su Zicheng actually agreed, Shui Yan was a little nervous, he just said casually, he didn't plan that he would really go.

"Leaving now?" The god of Shui Yan passed away in an instant, and while answering with a smile, he quickly turned his mind: "Since you went, let's stay overnight, tomorrow morning to see the cold orchid in the morning light, the cold orchid between the cliffs and cliffs reflects the morning sun, the best demeanor at that time, not to be missed!" Going to Cuiwei Villa? Shui Yan looked at Su Zicheng, who was touching Wu Lanye with his fingers, as if he was a little distracted, and his heart moved slightly: "Cuiwei Beizhuang has the best view of Hanlan, but no one has lived in that place for many years, and I am afraid that things will not be appropriate, or I will not go to Yunzhan Courtyard?" It is close to Cuiwei Farewell Village, and it is convenient to see Hanlan in the past, that is, it is very close to the fourth uncle's courtyard, but there are only a few sisters and little five in the courtyard of the fourth uncle's house, and it will not be too noisy, you see? ”

"Well, let's live in Yunzhan Courtyard." Su Zicheng withdrew his hand, turned around and instructed Dongping: "Just ride over and stay for one night." Dongping bowed and agreed, dropped his hand and withdrew, handed the word to Shui Yan's little servant, and asked people to go to the backyard to get Su Zicheng's clothes and utensils, half an hour later, Su Zicheng and Shui Yan got on the horse at the gate of Liang Wang's Mansion and went to Xuefeng Mountain to enjoy the orchids.

Li Xiaoqi and others' car walked for two or three hours without hurry, the car stopped, Li Xiaoqi helped Danyue's hand to get out of the car, looked up at the beautiful scenery of Xuefeng Mountain in front of him, this Xuefeng Mountain is a little east in the north of Kaiping Mansion, the mountain is not high, but it is steep and beautiful, the trees are luxuriant and flowery, there are many waterfalls, it is the best place to escape the summer heat around Kaiping Mansion, and the snow is in winter, there are not many other courtyards on this mountain, and there are only dozens of them, but the seats are simple or exquisite, hidden in the mountain scenery and trees, and can build another courtyard on this mountain, They are all famous families in this Beiping country.

At the foot of the mountain, there are three green bamboo small bright sedan chairs parked, and the two housekeepers discussed a few words anxiously, and one of them beckoned to a mother-in-law to go over and explain a few words, and the mother-in-law hurriedly rushed up the mountain.

Li Xiaoqi sighed, beckoned to the housekeeper, and said with a smile: "The scenery on this mountain is really good, it makes people reluctant to leave, your courtyard is not far from here?" ”

"Back to the fifth master, say that it is not far away, and it is not close to say that it is not close, according to the footsteps of these sedan chair women, it will take half an hour." The housekeeper replied with a smile, Li Xiaoqi exhaled happily with a happy face, her voice was slightly raised, and she said with excitement and excitement: "Then I won't sit in a sedan chair, I'm going to go up!" I came out to see the scenery, and I want to enjoy the beautiful scenery of this snowy peak mountain! ”

The housekeeper looked at Li Xiaoqi gratefully, and when she was hesitating, Li Xiaoqi had already jumped next to Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Sun, and said with a smile on her face: "I want to climb the mountain by myself, this mountain, this scenery and this road, it is interesting to walk up slowly by yourself, you go first." ”

"I'll be with you! I haven't walked the mountain road for a long time, and this mountain view is much stronger than our Bijia Mountain! It's so pretty! Mrs. Sun turned her head to look around with great interest, Mrs. Fan embarrassedly glanced at the Yueting who didn't look at everyone at all, and said with a smile: "What should I do if I can't walk halfway up!" ”

"That's fine!" Li Xiaoqi turned his head to look at the housekeeper and said with a smile: "Annoying Mama Lao will let someone pick us up after she arrives in the other courtyard, if you really can't walk, you can carry me up!" ”

"Yes!" The housekeeper replied with a relaxed face and a smile on her face, Mrs. Fan took the moon pavilion on the bright sedan chair, the sedan chair was lifted, and it didn't take long to turn around the mountain road and not see, the housekeeper was leading in front, and the two mothers-in-law carried the top sedan chair, followed by Li Xiaoqi and Mrs. Sun, and the group stopped and walked, and Li Xiaoqi and Mrs. Sun were talking and laughing, looking at the scenery all the way.

After walking for more than half an hour, the two mothers-in-law on the mountain led the top bamboo sedan chair and picked it up all the way, Li Xiaoqi exhaled a few breaths, turned his head to look at Mrs. Sun and asked, "Are you tired?" ”

"Don't be tired, what is this little road, how far is this!" Mrs. Sun was in high spirits, she had been trapped in the square patio of the Fan family in Kaiping Mansion for these days, and when she saw the mountain, she was in a flying mood and was excited, Li Xiaoqi stood still on a smooth stone step, put down her skirt, turned around and looked around, and said with a smile: "I knew that I would climb the mountain, so I didn't wear this skirt and this shoe, your feet don't hurt?" Mrs. Sun lifted her skirt and looked at it, nodded and smiled: "When you say that, it really hurts, forget it, don't climb, take a sedan chair." ”

The two got on the sedan chair, and the housekeeper personally stepped forward to roll up the bamboo curtains on both sides of Li Xiaoyi's sedan chair, and said with a smile: "Let them walk slowly, the fifth master sits in the sedan chair and has a good look at the scenery." ”

After walking for half an hour, among the tall trees in front, there was a green tile powder wall, the housekeeper took a few steps forward, walked to Li Xiaoyi's sedan chair, and enthusiastically introduced: "There are four courtyards in this place, the one in the middle of the mountain is on our uncle's house, the one on the far right, the one shrouded in clouds and mist, is on the second master's house, these two places, the larger one is on the third master's house, the other courtyard on our house is the smallest, and the most inside, don't laugh at the fifth master!" Li Xiaoqi followed the guidance of the housekeeper and looked at several other courtyards, a total of four, these four should be the descendants of the Shui family.

The sedan chair soon entered the moss-covered gate, which was covered with ancient vines, and seemed to be old and abnormal, and turned the shadow wall made of flower walls, and the water lotus was standing in front of a moon gate that seemed to be naturally generated by ancient vines, waiting for them.

Li Xiaoqi got off the sedan chair, stepped forward to greet Mrs. Sun, and said with a smile: "It's me who is willful, and I have a lot of trouble with the seventh lady." ”

"The fifth master will see the outside world when he says so, his own sisters, how can there be any trouble?!" Shuilian responded with a warm smile, and at the same time let Li Xiaoqi and Mrs. Sun go inside, Li Xiaoqi and Mrs. Sun, who was restrained again, walked side by side, turned her head to look at Shuilian, and said with a smile: "Call me Xiaowu, I'll do five." ”

"Well, you're welcome! I'm eighteen years old, and I'm definitely older than my fifth sister. Shui Lian replied happily, and Li Xiaoqi nodded with a smile: "My sister is one year older than me." The two of them gossiped all the way, turned a few corners, went up a few steps, and arrived in front of a flower hall, a girl had already reported, Shui Tong had already greeted the door of the flower hall, and Mrs. Fan and Yueting also followed behind to welcome out.

Li Xiaoqi looked at Shui Tong carefully, the last time I saw her, she had been sitting, this standing tall figure, but too thin, a plain white linen dress was very wide, the clothes were rolled up, and the workmanship was exquisite, compared with the last time in prison, the gray in the face was gone, but the silence was still there, although the corners of the mouth were smiling, but the smile was lifeless, the mountain wind blew the dress, the skirt was flying, and it seemed that people were lonely to death. Li Xiaoqi took a slight breath, hurriedly smiled, took a few steps forward and bent his knees, Shui Tong had already meticulously bent his knees to the end, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly turned his head to look at Shui Lian, Shui Lian took two steps over to help Shui Tong, and said with a smile: "Little Fifth Sister is not an outsider, Sister Tong doesn't have to be polite to her!" ”

Shui Tong smiled silently: "The fifth master is in my great grace." The voice was slow and slow, Li Xiaoqi listened sadly, Shui Lian didn't seem to hear Shui Tong's words, and enthusiastically introduced Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun looked at Shui Tong sympathetically, and greeted her with restraint and respect, and a few people let go and entered the flower hall.

The flower hall is open on all sides, facing the courtyard on both sides, and the other two windows are inlaid with transparent crystal glaze, facing the cliffs outside, it seems to be a place to enjoy the scenery, the windows next to the crystal glaze are wide open, but the room is unusually warm, the light moon and the begonia are waiting for Li Xiaoqi and Mrs. Sun to go to the cloak, Shuilian said with a smile: "This place is the best place to see the mountain view, the first grandfather loved this place in winter, he is cold legs, so he even hollowed out the fire channel at the bottom of this flower hall, it is not cold at this time, I will let people burn the earth fire dragon, The wall of fire and the kang were not burned, otherwise it would have been too hot. ”

Li Xiaoqi walked to the glass window, looked out, more than a zhang away from this flower hall, it is the end of the cliff, there is a half-person-high stone fence on the side, and all kinds of late-blooming chrysanthemums are placed in the stone fence, Li Xiaoqi looked at it for a while, retreated and sat on the kang, took the cup and drank tea, Fan Da Niang was talking to Shui Tong, Shui Lian and Sun Da Niang didn't know what to talk about, Yue Ting sat next to Fan Da Niang, carefully looked at the furnishings in the flower hall. Li Xiaoqi was about to turn back to enjoy her scenery, and the girl at the door respectfully reported: "Grandma, Seventh Girl, Young Master Ming is here." ”

Shui Tong straightened up all of a sudden, Shui Lian jumped off the kang briskly, the door curtain was lifted, and a thirty-in-one, neat daughter-in-law came in with a three or four-year-old boy, the little boy was thin, but his face was fine, the group was in the nurse's arms, timidly looking at the stranger in the house, this is Shui Tong's son, and Chen Zhongliang's sister-in-law Chen Mingshen.

"Ah Ming, come, Aunt Seven." Shuilian greeted him and raised his hand, Ah Ming had a shy smile on his face, turned around and pounced on Shuilian, and turned his head from Shuilian's arms to look at his mother Shuitong, stretched out his hand at Shuitong, Shuilian grabbed his hand back, hugged him and walked to Li Xiaoqi first, pointed at Li Xiaoqi and said with a smile: "This fifth aunt of the Li family loves our Ah Ming the most, is it okay for Ah Ming to kowtow to the fifth aunt?" Without waiting for Shuilian to put down Ah Ming, Li Xiaoqi had already jumped up, neatly grabbed Shuilian and Ah Ming, and did not reach out to hug him, only took Ah Ming's hand, and praised with a smile: "Ah Ming is so cute!" How old are you? ”

"Four." Ah Ming's hand was held in Li Xiaoyi's hand, and the two big black and white eyes flashed to look at Li Xiaoyi, and after a pause, he replied in a thin voice, Li Xiaoqi took the cloth cow with exquisite workmanship and two pieces of ink jade embedded in the eyes from Haitang, held it up in front of Ah Ming and said with a smile: "Who belongs to the cow?" ”

"Me!" Ah Ming stretched out his hand and grabbed the smiling cloth cow, flipped over and looked around, Shui Tong had already stood behind Shui Lian and Ah Ming, and bent his knees to thank him: "The fifth master bothered." ”

Shuilian hugged Ah Ming and turned to Mrs. Sun, Mrs. Sun smiled and took out a small red gold longevity lock plate that had been prepared a long time ago, the nurse hurriedly stepped forward to take it, Mrs. Fan also gave a meeting gift, Yueting sleeve out of a brand-new purse, opened and took out a bright red gold bracelet, twisted the knot, and put it on Ah Ming's hand with a smile. Li Xiaoqi drank tea, watched Yueting put on Ah Ming's golden hand, turned his head and glanced at Mrs. Fan, and sighed secretly, this meeting gift was prepared properly, it seems that it was not a temporary idea, it was afraid that she would not let Yueting come over, so she did it first? Or •••••• must be thinking too much, thinking too much about everything, go back and find an opportunity to talk to her.
