Chapter 18: Xuan V
As for Xia Ruixi's kung fu that dozed off and was not discovered, he has been honed for more than ten years in his reading career, and he has practiced perfectly. I think back then, she could sit in the first row of seats and doze off without being noticed by the teacher. She whispered a few words to Wan'er and Chun'er, and the two girls, one on the left and one on the right, were like two Dharma protectors guarding her, she leaned on the back of the chair, sat up straight, and began to sleep. If she hadn't been observing from a close distance, anyone who saw her would have been fascinated by the drama.
But she forgot one thing, this was not a quiet class, but a noisy stage. When she was sleepy and getting better, a loud gong sounded on the stage, which frightened her and almost fell off the chair. Fortunately, Chun'er was quick to see her, quickly supported her, and whispered, "Miss, something has been dropped, the slave maid will help you pick it up?" How can you do it yourself? ”
When the people around heard it, they didn't care, and a humiliating storm was covered up by the smart Chun'er. As for Wan'er, Ou Sishao, who was facing over there, was a nymphomaniac, and she didn't pay attention to what happened to Xia Ruixi here. Hearing what Chun'er said, he hurriedly said, "What did you drop?" What fell out? Slave and maid to find? ”
Xia Ruixi glared at her and scolded in a low voice: "If you are so unruly, don't come out with me in the future." ”
A big girl came over and said with a smile: "Second Cousin, my sixth lady invited you to play with her?" ”
Wan'er was busy making meritorious contributions: "This is Xianglian next to Miss Six, Miss Sixwatch is the one who wore pink clothes just now, your sixth cousin." ”
Xianglian said: "My fifth young master has just returned from a trip to Tokyo, and he has brought a lot of strange things, and he is the closest to our sixth young lady and has given a lot. Miss Six said, please Miss Second Watch go over and pick a few. ”
Xia Ruixi was sitting impatiently, responded with a smile, asked Chun'er to say to Mrs. Xia, and followed Xianglian. Xianglian took Xia Ruixi's master and servant through a quiet path, and arrived at a delicate courtyard, where a delicate woman in a pink dress stood at the door with a little girl looking at Xia Ruixi and smiling, it was one of the young ladies of the Xuan family that Xia Ruixi had seen during the day.
Xia Ruixi felt strange, during the day, this Xuan Liu didn't necessarily have much affection for her? On the contrary, he is more affectionate to Xia Ruibei. Why didn't you call Xia Ruibei when you picked something, but only called her alone? It's really weird, could it be that everyone has been pursuing different practices these days?
Xuan Liu smiled: "The second sister has really forgotten the past? You used to love to come to play with me, but now you can't remember who I am. I saw it in the daytime, and it was also faint, so that my sister and I were not sad. ”
Xia Ruixi sneered: "Sixth sister spared me, I didn't mean to." I look at you and feel closer than others, but I can't remember it, there are many people and many things, and I am embarrassed to ask. When I was sick, I didn't see you, so you can't blame me. ”
Xuan Liu pinched her cheek: "Sharp teeth." Did you really forget? From birth to now, I can count the chances of going out on ten fingers. Blame me for not going to see you? Do you think that everyone is as easy to talk as your father and mother, and you are running around, and they are reluctant to talk about you? ”
Xia Ruixi also knew that the Xuan family was not as good as the Xia family, Uncle Xuan was old-fashioned and pedantic, and Aunt Xuan strictly followed the principle of husband as wife, and it was a great deal for the women of the Xuan family to go out. She silently recited Amitabha Buddha in her heart, fortunately, God has eyes and didn't let her wear it to this family, otherwise she would not have to suffocate to death.
The girl spread out a table of delicate gadgets, including fan pendants, sachets, dice playing games, hourglasses, beautiful sewing boxes, candlesticks, and chic four treasures of the study, all of which are made of enamel, crystal and other materials that are rare on the market in Xijing, and the style is also very unique.
Xuan Liudao: "It's all brought back from Tokyo by the fifth brother, it's close to the East China Sea, and the things made are not the same as ours, but they are also exquisite." He specifically told me to let you choose two. You choose, right? Xia Ruixi was instantly fascinated by the crystal hourglass, the hourglass, usually used as an ornament in modern times, Xia Ruixi is the most familiar with it, and he has some intimacy when he looks at it. What's more, this hourglass is so beautiful, the white crystal shines in the candlelight, and the colorful sand inside is like a dream.
Xuan Liu followed her gaze, smiled slightly, reached out and took the hourglass and handed it to her: "Do you still like it?" ”
Xia Ruixi shook his head with satisfaction: "That's enough, thank you, Sixth Sister." ”
Xuan Liu smiled and said, "Fifth brother guessed right, sure enough, you only love this." The seven-colored sand in this is innate, and the things in it are the most expensive. ”
Xia Ruixi said embarrassedly: "Sixth sister, you helped me thank the fifth brother." ”
Xuan Liudao: "Tell him yourself." ”
Xia Ruixi smiled embarrassedly, how did she know who Xuan Wu was?
Xuan Liu frowned: "You girl, could it be that you even forgot the fifth brother?" ”
Xia Ruixi lowered his head, "When I first woke up, even my parents forgot. ”
Xuanliu touched her head and sighed: "Poor girl, fortunately, she just forgot, not stupid." The fifth brother and you and I were the best when we were young, so you don't have to forget it. ”
Xia Ruixi nodded.
The little girl came in and said, "The fifth young master is here." ”
Then the young man who had helped Xia Ruixi before walked in with a smile, "Forget it, Sixth Sister, why do you embarrass her?" Since forgetting is forgetting, where is there still selectivity? It can be seen that he listened to their words just now.
Xia Ruixi stepped forward and said generously: "Thank you, fifth brother." The faces of Xuan Wu and Xuan Liu are about fifty percent similar, and the relationship between the two is so close, Xia Ruixi estimated that the two were only born to the same mother.
Xuan Wu smiled: "You must have wondered before, who am I, right?" The candlelight shone on his delicate face, and his smile became more and more warm as jade. Xia Ruixi thought, no wonder people say that looking at men under the lamp, this was originally only six points of beauty, but it all showed eight points of hazy beauty.
Xia Ruixi smiled: "It's quite strange, but I think that since I can enter the inner courtyard, it is naturally my own family." It's just that he didn't dare to shout, and the fifth brother smiled. ”
Xuan Liuyi clapped his hands: "I have the best dragon well here and the snow water that was swept down from the plum blossoms a few days ago, and it is rare to come here, so I will cook tea and entertain you." As she spoke, she was about to go outside, but Xia Ruixi grabbed her: "Where is the sixth sister going?" ”
Xuan Liu said: "I went outside to cook tea, the little girl was clumsy, afraid of dropping my tea set." ”
Xia Ruixi said: "I'll go with you." "She didn't have the courage to be alone with this fifth cousin, judging from the fact that Xuan Liu dared to help Xuan Wu lead her here from the front, the children of the Xuan family are not as pedantic and rigid as they seem, but they are all like ghosts, although they are relatives, they also have to pay attention to the defense of men and women.
Xuan Liu glanced at Xuan Wu when he heard this, and said with a smile: "It's gray and cold, what are you going to do?" Just talk to the fifth brother here for a while, and wait for tea. The fifth brother knows a lot of interesting things, I guarantee you haven't heard of it. ”
Xia Ruixi secretly thought, I know a lot of interesting things, and I can guarantee that you have never, absolutely never heard of it. The hand is still holding Xuan Liu: "I want to learn to cook tea with you, my mother in the province often scolds me for not understanding elegance." ”
How could her dodge escape the eyes of others, Xuan Wu smiled slightly: "Since the second sister is interested, let's go together." ”
Xianglian said with a smile: "There is a small pavilion on the Taihu Lake stone in the Hanlian Garden, which can probably accommodate three or four people, and it is the highest, you can hear the sound of the stage in front of you, and you can see it more clearly, the young master and the young ladies might as well go there to cook tea and play tricks, isn't it better?" ”
Xia Ruixi thought, in the cold weather, what's so fun about a broken pavilion that is ventilated on all sides? If you want to freeze it into a popsicle, you can go, but there is a lack of interest.
Xuan Wu is good at observing words and feelings, just one glance at her, he knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile: "Since it is so fun, Xianglian took two people to hang up the four sides of the thick tweed first, brought a few braziers into it to heat up, and then burned the small red clay stove, and then prepared other things and then called us." Hurry up, don't wait for us to go, it's already over. ”
Xia Ruixi understood as soon as he heard it, people said it so carefully, I am afraid that they deliberately explained it to her, a soil leopard, this Xuan Wu should be really careful, and couldn't help but look at him and smile slightly. Xuan Wu saw her looking at him and smiling, and her eyes lit up a little. He also called the servant next to him to go to his yard to get the deer breast and other meat ingredients he had prepared, and said, "We have also cooked tea, and we are idle when we are idle, so it is better to bake something more to eat." I was going to go out with a few friends tomorrow to roast and eat this deer breast, but let's try it tonight. ”
Playing barbecue? How did the ancients play barbecue, Xia Ruixi has not seen it, not to mention that it is said to be a delicious roasted deer breast? couldn't help but be eager to try, but he said hypocritically: "Since the fifth brother is prepared for a friend, we will eat it, what will you take tomorrow?" Not quite right? ”
Xuanliu pushed her: "You will eat it if you give it to you, what he will do tomorrow is his business." You don't want to eat, I still want to eat, don't spoil the fun! ”
Xuan Wu hooked the corners of his mouth: "As long as the second sister is happy, what is a few pieces of deer breast!" ”
What does that mean? Xia Ruixi's heart jumped, and he glanced at him uncertainly, just in front of Shangxuan Wu's bright eyes, and the temptation of deer breast and barbecue was not so great for a while, so he had to laugh dryly: "Fifth brother is really friendly, and he is so good to his sisters." It's better to be happy alone, it's better to have fun with everyone, why don't you call the other sisters over and play together? ”
Xuan Wu lowered his eyes, "It's not that I'm reluctant, it's just that the location is too small and there are too many people, but I lost the original fun." If the second sister likes to be lively, the weather will be warm another day, and my mother, let's hold a poetry meeting in the courtyard, and you can do whatever you want when the time comes. ”
"Your mother?" Xia Ruixi really doesn't know who gave birth to these two, but listening to this tone, their mother is in charge.
Xuan Liu laughed wildly without image: "You're confused again, right?" Our mother is your aunt and uncle. She snorted coldly, "Those sluts also want to run rampant in this courtyard? Dream on. ”
Xuan Wu glanced at her coldly, and Xuan Liu pouted: "Xixi is not an outsider, where did I say something wrong?" It was meant to be! Didn't you yourself say that you would never take a concubine in the future? Look at what those vixens have made this house look like, smoky and smoky. My father only knows how to marry into the door, but he doesn't have the ability to manage it well, and he is not my mother when he is tired and tired! My aunt is still capable, and I will learn from her in the future. ”
Xia Ruixi wiped a cold sweat, his feelings are born in the main room, no wonder he is so bold and has so many ways to play. However, Xuan Wu can have this idea, the young man's consciousness is quite high, if he wants to rest in modern times, she must pat him on the shoulder and praise him twice, but this is in ancient times, she just has the heart of a thief and the courage of a thief. She didn't want to listen to Uncle Xuan's family affairs, so she interrupted: "It's time to get it done, right?" Going? ”
Xuan Wu couldn't help but be a little disappointed when he saw that Xia Ruixi didn't react to his words of not accepting a concubine. Isn't the greatest hope of many women in life to meet a husband who is consistent and does not take concubines? Why didn't Xia Er react?

Embarrassed, I didn't know that I was on the new signing recommendation list today, so I changed today's volume in advance last night. Who knows that the recommendation period can't be interrupted, and now I have to make up for it...... Everyone raised their noble hands and collected the tiles, O(∩_∩)O~
