Xiu'er has time, I don't believe it, my cousin-in-law can avoid her for a lifetime, she comes over every day, and sooner or later there is a time for her to catch her, so she made up her mind to come over every day, so for three days in a row, she came to the East Chambers in the afternoon to toss her cousin-in-law, and her cousin-in-law meekly accompanied her cousin at night to watch them play chess and chat.

The cousin-in-law watched the chess for three days in a row, and Xiu'er found that the cousin's eyes that occasionally looked at her cousin-in-law in the past two days were full of softness, and there was no longer the coldness of the lunch, which made Xiu'er secretly frightened, there was one thing that Xiu'er had to admit in her heart, that is, her cousin's flower and moon appearance, she couldn't compare, although her cousin-in-law did not have her exquisite figure, but after all, her cousin-in-law was two years younger than her.

As soon as she entered the Xiao Mansion, she heard that her cousin and her cousin-in-law were incompatible, and her cousin-in-law had been cold in the East Chamber since she entered the door.

No, she must not let her cousin-in-law sit next to her cousin like this and play chess and chat with them, not to mention whether her cousin-in-law is in the way here, from her heart alone, she must not let her cousin have a good impression of her cousin-in-law, even the slightest bit will cast a shadow in her and her cousin's future married life, she must not let such a thing happen.

figured out this section, in the following days, Zhang Xiu never dared to go to the East Chamber to provoke her cousin, but continued to be powerful in Xiao Xiang's courtyard, but shifted her eyes to her aunt, she will be the housewife in this courtyard sooner or later, she must let these aunts be the head of her house, Xiu'er is very smart, she knows that she can't set up five enemies at the same time, she must pull a few cages first, her cousin favors Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang, these two people are her biggest hidden danger, unite the eldest aunt, the second aunt and Hongyu to deal with them, for her, is the best choice, made up my mind, for a while, Xiu'er sang the Three Kingdoms in the backyard of the second master, tossed Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li, as if forgetting that there was a housewife in the front yard.

Xiu'er didn't provoke her cousin-in-law, it's not that she really forgot, and it's not that she gave up, it's just that she hasn't come up with a good idea, she's not in a hurry, she has time to think slowly. She Xiu'er never knew how to write the word "give up", she must drive her cousin out of the Xiao Mansion before her cousin's eyes notice her cousin's beauty.

Xiu'er doesn't provoke the East Chamber, Mengxi has lived a peaceful life again, in addition to accompanying the old lady to relieve her boredom these days, she spends most of her time in the East Chamber, living in a simple house, Ren Erye's backyard is surging, she only laughs and watches the flowers bloom and fall in front of the court.

In a blink of an eye, it was the Tangram Festival, Mengxi got up early, asked the old lady to say goodbye, and returned to Xiaoxiang Courtyard, only to see Hongyu and the four aunts already waiting outside the hall.

After the second grandmother sat down, several people stepped forward to ask for peace together, and stood on both sides, Mengxi looked left and right, and said:

"Today is the Tangram Festival, and it's rare for us women to have a festival, don't stand still, all of you, Hongzhu, show a few aunts and Hongyu to sit."

When several aunts heard this, they were stunned for a moment, raised their eyes to see the face of the second grandmother, they really let them sit, and humbly gave in, and then sat down, and when the aunt sat down, Mengxi looked at the eldest aunt and asked:

"What are the rules in this courtyard for the Tangram Festival in previous years?"

"Back to the second grandmother, there is no rule, the old lady wants to set up a family banquet at night, because it is a woman's festival, so even the aunt is invited, the second master did not set up another banquet in the courtyard, but the maids and mothers-in-law in each room are happy, and they gather some parts to celebrate."

Mengxi listened, and sighed secretly, there are too few entertainment activities in this ancient world, and even if there are, they are all for men, no wonder the women in this backyard are idle and panicked, fighting every day, if they are like women in the 21st century, working from 9 to 5 every day, they are still squeezed by the boss at every turn, and they work overtime until zero morning, they probably don't have the energy to fight, right? This not only reminded her of the poker in her previous life, but it was better to let the next person do it, on a big festival, teach a few aunts to play, and be lively and lively together, counting, just four aunts, enough for a table.

Thinking of this, he looked up and just wanted to tell Hongzhu to prepare, but in a blink of an eye, he met the eager eyes of Aunt Li and Aunt Zhang, with a look of longing, and his heart was shocked, these two people have suffered a lot from Xiu'er these days, what do you mean by looking at her like this? Want to carry her out to make cannonballs again? The words that came to the mouth changed vividly:

"In this case, let's come according to the rules of previous years, it's just that it's rare for our women's festivals, don't lose yourself too much, your aunts like music and harmony, just make a fuss in your own yard, don't talk about so many rules, our women's life, it's not easy, I have instructed the kitchen to make some begging fruits, and after a while, they will be dispersed and distributed to each courtyard to take back"

After Mengxi finished speaking, she remembered the matter of drying clothes on the Tangram Festival, and just wanted to open her mouth to tell her aunt, but she saw Aunt Li say:

"Second grandmother, a few days ago, the second master rewarded the best cloud brocade in each courtyard, the concubine saw such a good material, and only worthy of the identity of the second grandmother to wear, the concubine was dressed to be ruined, so she was greedy for a few black, and sewed it out before the Tangram Festival, filial piety to the second grandmother, the second grandmother looked at whether it was suitable, the concubine was clumsy, and the second grandmother smiled."

Aunt Li said while signaling Bai Ju presented the tow tray in her hand, Zhiqiu hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and presented it to the second grandmother, Mengxi reached out and lifted the square scarf on the tow plate, took out the clothes, and shook it open, it was a lotus green cloud brocade dress, the collar, sleeves, and hem were carefully embroidered with broken leaf patterns, echoing the elegant lily on the chest, and it was a thought at a glance, Mengxi not only secretly praised this Aunt Li's female red, and said casually:

"Aunt Li's good craftsmanship is really rare, it's hard for you to have this filial piety"

While speaking, he signaled that Zhichun had harvested, and just wanted to say something, but he saw Aunt Zhang step forward and give a pair of hollow silver hairpins inlaid with pearls, which were also worth some silver at a glance.

Mengxi looked at the two aunts puzzled, the sun not only came out in the west, but it actually rained red.

Anyway, it was always the hearts of the two aunts, Mengxi told Zhichun to come forward and accept it, and ordered Zhiqiu to reward the two.

The eldest aunt and the second aunt were a little uncomfortable, they didn't expect to give the main mother a gift during the holiday, and it was too late to make up for it, sitting there, neither advancing nor retreating, squeaking for a long time, their faces were also red, Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li looked at the two with a smile.

Mengxi glanced at it, and then told each courtyard to take out the clothes to dry, and then chatted with a few aunts about some customs and anecdotes of the Tangram Festival, just after talking for a while, I saw the three young ladies dressed neatly and walked in, Mengxi saw it, and told the aunts to step back and let them go back to the courtyard to prepare for the evening family banquet.
