In previous years, the lanterns of the Shangyuan Festival were hung in the Begonia Courtyard, and now for Guo Yao, the old lady specially ordered the lantern venue to be set up near the floating Champs in the back garden. Ice @ Fire! Chinese. After the luncheon, Yu personally led Guo Yao to Wutong Courtyard to rest, and pointed out two experienced maids to wait beside him. Because he was worried about Yuhua, he didn't know what to do, and hurried to the long room.

Halfway through, Zi Yan greeted her: "The third girl has already gone back to the room and lay down." ”

Yu was still anxious: "Have you ever cried?" ”

Zi Yan's expression was gloomy: "Don't hide it from Mrs., cry until you are tired." The girl has never suffered any grievances when she grows so big, and the slave and maid are ...... when they look at this."

When Yu saw this, his heart hurt as if it was clenched. Tingyu and Tingfang are just that, there are two sons in the long house, and they are all descendants, and no one dares to protect them. Yuhua is different, as the saying goes, her daughter is her mother's intimate little padded jacket, she went through a lot of hardships to give birth to such a baby daughter, it is rare that she actually has extraordinary intelligence and cleverness, and she loves her like an eyeball on weekdays, and now let Yanhua be bullied by the one who does not grow, where can I swallow this breath?

When he sank his face and said, "Go to the fourth room!" And they went round about to the west.

But it happened that after Nie returned to the room, he also learned about this from the maid's mouth, and when he heard that Yuhua had been offended, he was scared like something, pointed at Yanhua and scolded for a long time, and hurriedly went out to the long room to compensate for it. Before he left the courtyard gate, he collided with Yu and his party under the eaves.

"Sister-in-law, where are you going?"

Nie Shi saw that Yu's face was not good, and his heart was even more flustered, and the smile on his face was like squeezing out of his teeth.

Yu Shi split his head and said: "You raised a good daughter!" "But he was going to walk into the courtyard again. Nie Shi saw her posture, she actually wanted to ask Yan Hua for her guilt, and she was afraid that her daughter would suffer, so she wanted to kneel down when her knees were weak, but fortunately, she held on to the courtyard wall with her hand: "Sister-in-law forgive your sins!" Yan'er didn't know how to bump into the third girl, it was her fault, I will compensate for her! She's a little child, and I'm a mother who doesn't discipline her......"

After talking about it for a long time, Yu didn't pay attention to it at all, and put her aside and wanted to enter the house.

Yan Hua also looked in the window when he heard the movement, and Yu saw it, so he reprimanded: "Look at it!" Come out! ”

Yan Hua couldn't avoid it, so he had to rub out of the house. The Tongfang who lived in the backyard wanted to come out to see the excitement, but stepped to the door of the backyard with his front foot, and when he saw this battle, he hurriedly retracted his foot.

Yan Hua came to him, glanced down at Nie Shi, bit his lower lip and saluted Yu. When Yu saw her, he remembered Yuhua's aggrieved appearance, and he was so angry that he raised his hand and slapped her: "Who did you listen to and say that we are going to send Yu'er to the palace?!" Yan Hua covered her face and held back a pool of tears, but she didn't have the courage to talk back, and suddenly the pestle was like a stake.

Nie Shi hurriedly dragged her to her knees, and also reprimanded: "The eldest aunt asked you, who told you blindly, say it quickly!" He kept glancing at her, intent on leading away the trouble. The fact that Yuhua Shuhua wants to enter the palace is like a mirror in everyone's hearts, but it is a sin to say it, after all, it has become a joke when it spreads, it seems that the Yu family is going to make a fuss about this this time.

Yan Hua was stunned for a long time and said: "I, I just didn't hear it, there are many people coming and going in the house, and I can't see who it is......"

Nie Shi hurriedly said: "You kid, how can you talk nonsense if you don't see clearly?" Why don't you hurry up and compensate the eldest aunt! Yan Hua kowtowed to the Yu family to compensate him. Seeing that Yu's face was still cold, Nie Shi smiled again: "Sister-in-law, just calm your anger, Yan'er is disobedient, I will definitely teach you well when I go back." Just now, my mother's brother sent someone to deliver a letter, and I have something to find my sister-in-law. ”

Yu's slap at Yanhua's slap she also looked worried, they are all mothers, no one is weaker than anyone else, not to mention that there is a matter of conscription rations, at this time, the four rooms of the long house can be regarded as a grasshopper on a line, and she Yu wants to stand up for her daughter, and she can't give them four rooms without any face.

The Yu family originally wanted to use Yan Hua to relieve his anger, but when he heard Nie mention this, he also knew that she was waking her up, and sneered at the moment: "Your grain collection is your business, I didn't participate!" Don't forget that our eldest master is still a grain envoy, if you want to threaten me with this, tomorrow ** will be ready to give your brother a prison meal! ”

But in the end, it was no longer light, and it was past her and went directly into the house, which can be regarded as stepping down.

Zi Yan returned to the long room and told Fang Cai about it, Yuhua sat up from the bed and said angrily: "Just a slap counts? It's too cheap for her! ”

"Isn't it? The slave maid also felt that the eldest lady was too much to give face to the fourth lady. Zi Yan pulled her handkerchief, looked at Yu Hua's face for a long time, and tried to say: "If the girl feels angry and wants to do something, Zi Yan is willing to listen to the girl's orders!" ”

Yuhua turned his head to look at her, groaned for a moment, and sneered.

Liang saw Shuhua sitting in front of the dressing table, and couldn't help but come in and say, "Are you still worried about that incident during the day?" ”

Shuhua shook her head and sighed leisurely.

Liang rarely sees his daughter like this. So he said, "Why is that?" ”

Shuhua looked at her own shadow in the mirror and said, "Is it really that good to enter the palace?" ”

Liang was stunned, "Of course it's good to enter the palace!" As a mother, you are one person under ten thousand people, don't say that if you are a prince in your life, you will sit firmly in the country in this life, just say that food and clothing are beyond our reach. ”

Shuhua snorted and laughed: "Sitting firmly? There are so many little princes in the palace, are all their mothers sitting firmly? Since you can sit firmly in the country, you should fight for the future for your son, why did the prince become the prince and still fight to the death with King Qing? And the one who is high above the Phoenix Palace, why is there always only one woman? ”

Liang was speechless. She really can't catch up with her daughter's thinking, but she knows one thing deeply: "In short, if Yuhua wants to enter the palace, you have to enter the palace, and you can't be compared!" If Yu Yatou enters the palace and becomes a mother, then after the old lady and the old lady pass away, not to mention all the family property of the entire He Mansion, at least most of it will fall into the hands of Changfang! What will my mother give you as a dowry?! - Shu'er! She got up and sat down across from her, looking at the face she had single-handedly created, "You have to think about your brother." ”

Shuhua's heart was a little blocked. Twisted his head, "Okay, mother, I know." ”

Liuli had a stuffy nose when she took a nap, and Rui'er was worried that she had a cold, so she persuaded: "It's better not to go at night, anyway, I don't care if you go or not, just call yourself sick and rest in the house." ”

Liuli sighed and said, "If I can not go, I don't want to go." The third girl has suffered such a big grievance, how can she not make up for it? I'm glad to avoid this water. But at such times, it would be a sin for me to be absent. ”

Rui'er was silent. He said: "This is strange again, how do you know that the third girl has to make up for it tonight?" Besides, didn't the eldest lady still break into the fourth room and beat the fifth girl? This matter is quite big, and the three girls should be relieved. ”

Liuli shook her head, covered her nose with a silk and blew her nose gently.

Liuli pinched the hour and Rui'er to the main courtyard. Because it was a dinner party, the old and young masters all returned home, so they still set up upper and lower stairs in the Begonia Courtyard. The ladies upstairs were still seated in their seats, and Yuhua and Shuhua both looked calm, as if they had not encountered anything unpleasant during the day. Yan Hua closed his mouth rarely, and he didn't dare to raise his head when he saw Yuhua.

Min Hua and the others were even more silent, and Huanhua wanted to say something, but he was also slapped on the back of his hand by Liuli.

After eating silently, Min Hua got up first and went to Aunt Su's place. Then Shuhua Zhenhua also got up and went to the flower hall next door to have tea. Liuli had nowhere to go, so she leaned on the railing and looked at the layers of eaves in the distance. After a while, there was movement in the house, and it turned out that the old lady and others had also dispersed, and were preparing to go to the garden to enjoy the lanterns in a soft chariot.

Huanhua ran over, pulled up Liuli and went downstairs.

When I arrived at the Floating Champs, the plum grove in front of the Water Pavilion was dotted with stars, all of which were hung with all kinds of lanterns, and thirty or forty large lanterns were added, which illuminated most of the circle brightly. The lanterns made by the girls are placed in front of all the lanterns, and at the foreground are of course the works of four girls who have already studied with their teachers.

Eight lanterns passed in a flash, and they were really beautiful. Yuhua is a pair of dragon and phoenix lanterns, the dragon scales are made of thin jade pieces that are opened, and the brocade feathers on the phoenix's head are glued with real brocade feathers. Shuhua is a pair of crane lamps, the crane's eyes are decorated with amethyst, all of them are independent on one foot, and they can stand up alone when placed on the ground. Yan Hua is a pair of eight-treasure lotus lamps, because the material is made of Qian feather yarn, so it is more beautiful than the pair made of laurel begonias, but this person is really always unexpected, she actually tied a real magpie in each of the two lamps, so the whole sea of lights is mixed with the wailing sound of magpies from time to time.

Huanhua is a pair of butterfly lamps, made of colored silk and tassels, very exquisite.

Look at the four pairs of lanterns tied by the concubines a little later, it is obviously much weaker, Min Hua is a pair of pagoda lamps, although the materials are also very particular, but because of the clumsy shape, lost the score. Zhenhua is the plum blossom palace lamp, the material is average, thanks to the palace lamp shape atmosphere. Su Hua's hands are inseparable from eating, and it is a longevity peach lamp, two round. Finally, there are the glazed carp lamps, the kind that can be bought with two copper plates on the street.

Eight pairs of lanterns were written on each lantern riddle, and the girls and young masters watched and guessed all the way, very excited.

A lavender cage was installed in the water pavilion, the old lady was sitting in the house, Yu and others accompanied Guo Yao all the way over, and when they arrived at the lantern place, Yu stopped intentionally, "These are the lamps made by the girls, can the gentleman get by?" ”

Guo Yao grabbed the lamp foot, looked at the handwriting on it with a smile, and said, "Very good." "I didn't even say anything in particular. Yu suppressed his disappointment,
