Chapter 278: Visiting the Garden (I)

Xu Lingyi woke up suddenly, and there was no one in her arms.

He couldn't help but shout "Eleven Niang" in surprise, and his hand touched the futon on the side.

It's cold!

It was a little late yesterday, and I felt it vividly, and I was ready to squint for a while to get up and help her clean up...... Who knows that when you wake up, you don't see anyone.

Thinking about it, there was a crisp voice outside the tent to answer him: "Master Hou is awake!" ”

Eleven Niang walked in in a moon-white silk shirt and sand-green gown, still holding his dirty clothes in her hands.

I overslept......

Xu Lingyi was stunned. Then make a casual look: "What time is it?" ”

"It's been three quarters!" Eleven Niang smiled, "Today is Brother Jie's birthday, I invite everyone to come over and eat a bowl of longevity noodles together." Hou Ye, hurry up! As he spoke, he put the dirty clothes on the small pestle beside him, and asked the little maid to fetch water to come in and let him freshen up.

And Xu Lingyi saw that she was smiling and radiant, and there was no displeasure, and her heart was slightly settled, and she was served and dressed by Eleven Niang.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the faint pink mark on her collar. Thinking of last night's incident, his heart fluttered, and he whispered, "You're okay!" ”

Eleven Niang glanced at Xu Lingyi and lowered her head to dress him. But he didn't feel that his face was like the morning glow.

Xu Lingyi was in a good mood. Just as I was about to tease her, a little maid came in to make the bed.

He was busy with a straight face, got dressed, and went to the clean room.

When I came out, I saw Xu Sijie sitting in the middle of the big kang table near the window in the inner room, and there was a red background and black enamel sunflower box in front of him, which contained noodles, and put meat balls, fish, mushrooms, winter bamboo shoots and other cheeks, as well as a small longevity character carved with carrots.

Brother Zhen sat on the right side of the kang table; Sister Zhen and Aunt Wen, Xu Siyu and Aunt Qin sat on the Taishi chair by the kang on the left and right, and the same noodles were also placed on the coffee table, but they were served in a big red sea bowl.

Eleven Niang welcomed Xu Lingyi to the left side of the kang table and sat down, sat beside him, and Lu Yun gave the two of them a note.

She smiled and raised the chopstick: "Today is our brother's birthday, and we all follow his joy and eat a bowl of longevity noodles." ”

Xu Lingyi looked at the smiling faces in the room, very happy, picked up the chopsticks and picked a mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

That's when everyone started to move.

The noodles were very shaky, the noodles were delicious, and he ate them in three or two clicks.

Looking at Xu Sijie again, he was eating noodles with his head hulala. Sensing that Xu Lingyi was looking at him, he looked up and smiled, with a drop of noodle soup on his chin.

Xu Lingyi looked at it and sighed in her heart, took a handkerchief and wiped his mouth: "Don't worry, eat slowly!" ”

He looked at Brother Zhen again.

He was taking small bites of noodles and looked very gentle.

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly with satisfaction. Look at Xu Siyu.

His back was straight, and his expression looked a little serious. The noodles have been eaten and they are eating the noodles.

Looking at Sister Zhen again, she took the noodles with a spoon and brought them to her mouth, showing a little elegance in her delicate air.

Xu Lingyi nodded slightly, and asked Sister Xin'er: "...... Send someone to inquire. What happened to you? ”

"I sent someone to inquire early in the morning." Eleven Niang said with a smile, "After taking Liu Yizheng's medicine and burning the yellow table, Sister Xin stopped in the middle of the night." I slept until dawn all night. I started feeding in the morning. It's just that the spirit is still a little weak, and it's no big deal. ”

"That's good!"

Eleven Niang talked about Wu Niang's child: "...... Tomorrow is the third wash. I'm afraid I'll have to take the time to go. ”

"Oh! Zichun is a father! Xu Lingyi smiled when she heard this, "I should go there." When the time comes, you just have to tell your mother. ”

That's all it can be!

Eleven Niang nodded, the two of them gossiped a few more words, and seeing that everyone had finished eating, they took the children to Mrs. Tai's.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Tai still remembered that today was Xu Sijie's birthday, and gave Xu Sijie two small champion silver bills as birthday gifts, and said: "Get a champion ingot, take a champion Lang!" ”

After the children finished greeting them, the second lady, Xu Lingkuan, the fifth lady and Sister Xin came.

The corners of the fifth lady's eyes were slightly red, and the others looked as usual.

After greeting An, the second lady smiled and said: "I'm alone in Shaohua Courtyard, let Sister Xin be a companion for me!" Then he looked at Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady with a smile, "You can watch the play with peace of mind." ”

Xu Lingkuan and the fifth lady looked at Mrs. Tai.

Mrs. Tai smiled: "Okay! It's all right. ”

Eleven Niang stood aside with a smile, knowing that they were afraid that the child would be frightened again, so they had already discussed it. She talked about Wu Niang Tianzi.

"Gave birth to a big fat boy!" Mrs. Tai smiled when she heard this, "You go, you go." Here I am. He took the fifth lady's hand again, "And your fifth brother and sister." It's a frolicking thing, and it's not good to delay the serious thing! He asked Eleven Niang with great interest, "I remember that your fourth sister is the one who married Tanhualang, and it seems that she gave birth to two sons, right?" ”

Eleven Niang smiled and nodded: "The fourth sister gave birth to two sons!" ”

Mrs. Tai smiled and nodded. A little maid came to say that Mrs. Huang had arrived. Eleven Niang stepped back first and received guests in the flower hall.

Sister Hui came today, but Lin Da*'s grandmother didn't come.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ If my mother wants to entertain guests, let me come and say hello to my aunt. She greeted Eleven Niang.

Eleven Niang smiled and led her to Sister Zhen'er.

Sister Hui and Sister Fang are not only familiar with each other, but also good. When I saw her, I complained: "I won't open until next year, and I'll come to Yanjing at this time." I don't know if I'm here to play, or if I can't do martial arts, I have to go in advance. I was annoyed when I saw it, and I followed my grandmother with a dead face. If I knew you were here, I should have come yesterday. ”

Sister Fang covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this: "Men and women don't kiss." Can they still show themselves in front of you? What's so annoying about you? ”

One sentence made Sister Hui'er blush.

Sister Zhen hurriedly helped the round field: "Are we still sitting in the flower hall today and basking in the sun?" ”

"I don't bask in the sun." Sister Hui immediately said, "I want you to dry it." I'm going fishing. ”

Sister Fang followed Sister Hui: "Then let's go fishing today!" As he spoke, he looked at Sister Xian.

Sister Xian nodded.

When Sister Fang saw it, she called out to her mother, who came over: "Go and help us get fishing gear." ”

The serving mother went away.

Miss Li looked very uncomfortable and said loudly, "I'm going to go rowing." ”

Sister Fang didn't look at her, and directly instructed her mother beside her: "Take the eldest lady of the Li family to go rowing." ”

Miss Li was so angry that her lips trembled.

Twelve Niang hurriedly smiled and pulled her: "I also want to go boating, let's go together!" ”

Miss Li's face turned slightly pale.

Sister Fang glanced at Twelve Niang.

Sister Zhen stepped forward excitedly and squeezed Twelve Niang's hands.

Aunt Wen, who was a little worried that Sister Zhen would not be able to arrange it, breathed a sigh of relief, and arranged for her mother-in-law to help Miss Li and Twelve Niang arrange boats and paddling mothers, and on the other hand, she asked people to bring a brocade and put it on the side of the Taishi next to the Biyi River, and sent a mother-in-law who was good at fishing to serve on the side, helping to sprinkle fish food on the lake and load bait.

Sister Zhen personally took the ten brocade boxes and gave them to Miss Li and Twelve Niang: "While watching the scenery, eat the fruit." ”

Miss Li opened the box and saw the honey plums inside, and became happy: "I like to eat it the most!" ”

"If you like it!" Sister Zhen nodded to Twelve Niang and motioned for her to take care of her more.

Twelve Niang smiled at her and said that she would help her greet this guest.

Sister Fang, who was sitting on the Taishi chair and knocking melon seeds, looked at it and "snorted" gently: "I don't know where it came from, I don't know what to say, and I don't act like anything." Her mother also praised her for her gentleness and grace all day long. It's a laughing death. ”

"You're so restrained!" Sister Hui said, "Don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha." This is a guest at Sister Zhen'er's house. ”

Sister Fang didn't make a sound.

Sister Xian'er and Sister Hui discussed Eleven Niang: "...... Today's sand-green dress, embroidered with deep and shallow twisted flowers of the same colorβ€”I think she's pretty good at dressing up. ”

Sister Hui smiled and said, "The last time I came, she wore a dark jacket embroidered with pink plum blossoms...... Oops, it's beautiful. ”

"It's really fake!" Sister Fang came over, "I have always felt that dark Chu color can only be used as uppers, no, to make shoes, people have to wear them after sixty." ”

"Really." Sister Hui hurriedly said, "It's a home-style jacket, and I wear a pink skirt underneath, which is beautiful." As she was talking, she saw Sister Zhen coming, she raised her chin towards Sister Zhen, "I don't believe it, ask Sister Zhen." ”

"What do you want me to do?" Sister Zhen instructed the maid to put the carved red lacquer nine food boxes beside them, "There are preserved apples with honey in it, you can taste it." ”

"We were about to talk about your mother's dress." Sister Fang smiled and told her everything she had just discussed.

Sister Zhen laughed: "My mother's needlework is good. I once went to ask her to ......" At this point, she changed the subject with a slightly suffocated expression, "She always tells me how to dress. ”

Sister Fang is a shrewd person, and pulled the half of Sister Zhen'er's hidden sentence: "Tell me quickly, what happened?" ”

Sister Zhen only pursed her lips and smiled.

Sister Fang went over to scratch her.

Sister Zhen smiled all the way and hid in the octagonal warm pavilion next to her, and Sister Fang still didn't let go.

Sister Hui also wanted to know, helping Sister Fang, the three of them laughed.

Sister Xian looked at her mouth and smiled, but it was not easy to pass - she was engaged.

Aunt Wen looked at it but smiled slightly bitterly.

"The two young ladies are playing around with the eldest lady?" Qiu Hong was afraid that she would be too careful, so she hurriedly said, "Intimacy is like this!" ”

"I still want you to teach!" Aunt Wen sighed, but let out a long sigh.

Qiu Hong looked at Aunt Wen with blank eyes.

Aunt Wen looked amused and said, "I mean, I made so much money, and I don't see anyone say anything good about me." With just a few clothes, she makes people rare. The tone was very abrupt.

Qiuhong couldn't answer this question, and looked at the three little girls who were laughing in the warm pavilion.

Sister Zhen over there didn't beg for mercy, panting and said: "Sister Fang bullies people, she only knows how to ask me, why don't you ask Sister Hui why she hid in our house?" ”

Sister Fang was stunned when she heard this, and then smiled: "You have to ask both things!" Ask yours first, then her! ”

Sister Zhen didn't follow: "Sister Hui said it, I'll say it!" ”

"What are you doing with me?" Sister Hui'er was so red that she could drip blood, and she looked suspicious.
