Qi Niang and the fifth lady discussed and discussed, and finally set the location in Sister Zhen'er's Lijingxuan.

The flowers and trees there are not very remote, and they are not very noisy, and it is indeed a good place. Although the two of them are elders, they are both lively people, and it is just right to play with Sister Zhen.

Eleven Niang smiled and helped them prepare the things for the day's worship.

Sister Zhen followed Qi Niang and the fifth lady, and went to the conservatory to choose flowers for a while, and went to the second lady to choose incense, so that the fourth mother personally came to the house to pick up Qi Niang.

“…… I don't have a score when I play, and when I show my face, I disappear. She sat on the Taishi chair in front of Mrs. Tai's kang, smiling reservedly and gently, "I only understand when I see a lively scene here." ”

"She loves it here, and it's too late for me to be happy." Mrs. Tai saw that Siniang was demure and had the style of everyone, and felt that the daughters of the Luo family were very good, "You don't have to worry, just let her play with me for a few days." ”

Siniang didn't really want to pull Qi Niang back. Even if she pulls it back, she still has to sneak out. It's just that I'm afraid that Mrs. Tai will think that Qi Niang has no rules, so she took this trip.

After a few polite words, Mrs. Tai brought tea and let the young people play by themselves.

Eleventh Niang invited Siniang to sit down in her room, and Qi Niang and Fifth Lady, who heard the news, arrived.

Siniang saw that there were still two grasses on the hem of Qiniang's skirt, and she didn't know where to start.

Qi Niang took her sister's hand and coquettishly said: "If there is a big yard, but Zhu Anping and I will be suffocated to death." ”

The fifth lady also said on the side: "Fourth sister, we just happen to be companions together." ”

Siniang is not an unreasonable person, she told her a few words, and did not mention letting her go back.

Qi Niang and the fifth lady both showed a cheerful smile, like a girl in the boudoir, where is there still a little bit of calmness for ** motherhood, but it is more in line with the age of the two.

Siniang stayed at Luo's house for lunch and was going back. Eleven Niang knew that she was going back to take medicine, so she sent her to the Hanging Flower Gate. Siniang didn't rush to get into the carriage.

"Stay here for a few days, and you can persuade her to go back!" She whispered, "She came out this time, and she was angry with her mother-in-law. ”

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

She has never had the opportunity to talk to Qi Niang alone.

Siniang nodded slightly: "No matter what, after all, it's her mother-in-law, and she always has to go down to someone's house." ”

"I see." Eleven Niang said, "I'll persuade her to go back in two days." ”

Siniang sighed softly and got into the carriage.

Qi Niang has been avoiding Eleven Niang, Eleven Niang also feels that this kind of thing is in a hurry, rather than letting Qi Niang go back with resentment, it is better to let her scatter her mind and change her mood. instructed Song's mother to arrange for the kitchen to make the Qixi Festival, and asked Amber to go to the treasury to pick a square table with black lacquer and plum blossom patterns for them to worship, and chose a blue and white seawater pattern plate to hold offerings, and a cloisonné enamel gold three-legged tripod for incense. On the morning of the sixth day of the seventh month, he ordered someone to move to Lijingxuan. In the evening, when I came back from dinner at Mrs. Tai's, I could see a large bowl of water with water everywhere under the eaves, which was used for throwing needles at noon on the Qixi Festival tomorrow.

"Which one is yours?" Xu Lingyi thought of the scene when she was at Mrs. Tai's just now.

The Qixi Festival has not yet passed, and Xu Lingkuan and Qi Niang have already begun to think about how to celebrate the Midyear Festival. But I didn't see any movement from Eleven Niang.

"I'm not ready yet!"

Not really interested in that.

The water was exposed in the atrium for one night, and a small embroidery needle was lost, because of the density, most of them would float on the water.

Xu Lingyi didn't ask any more questions, and entered the house with Eleven Niang.

After greeting Mrs. Tai early the next morning, she resigned from Qi Niang, Mrs. Five, Mrs. II and others, who had a cheerful conversation with Mrs. Tai, and went back to the main hall first.

The mothers of several housekeepers were already standing under the eaves.

said the business first, and then Eleven Niang smiled and told Amber to get the Qiaoguo box: "...... Two boxes per person is a small meaning. Celebrate the holidays for everyone. He added, "Two tables of banquets were set up behind Dianchun Hall, and Mother Song was happy with everyone." ”

The mothers got up one after another to say thanks, and their faces were already showing happy smiles, and the atmosphere of the festival was coming.

Eleven Niang smiled and went to Mrs. Tai's for lunch.

Along the way, I saw maids and mothers-in-law drying their hair in the sun from time to time.

Back in the house, in addition to Amber, who went to accompany the housekeeper's mother to dinner, Zhu Xiang, Green Cloud, Red Embroidery, Yan Rong and others all gathered around to throw needles.

Seeing Eleven Niang coming in, everyone immediately dispersed.

"Whose needle sank? Whose needle is floating? Eleven Niang asked with a disapproving smile.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the little maid who usually had little contact with Eleven Niang said with a smile: "Sister Zhuxiang and Sister Yanrong are sinking, and Sister Luyun and Sister Hongxiu are floating." ”

"Oh!" Eleven Niang smiled, "What did you see?" ”

The little maid smiled and said, "Sister Luyun's is like a lotus, and Sister Hongxiu's is like a dog's tail flower." ”

Hongxiu's face turned red when she listened: "Madame, don't listen to her nonsense, where I look like a dogtail horse flower, it is clearly an impatiens." She didn't understand and talked nonsense. ”

Everyone laughed.

The lively atmosphere is always infectious. At this moment, Eleven Niang regretted a little, and should also put a bowl of water to try whether her needle was floating on the surface of the water or sinking at the bottom of the bowl. However, this is also a common problem of modern people, who have long lost their passion for traditional festivals.

She entered the house with a smile, lest she be restrained by the presence of everyone.

After taking a nap, the little maids were still immersed in the joy of throwing needles, and the atmosphere in the room became cheerful.

Eleven Niang embroidered flowers, looked at the time was not early, freshened up, and prepared to go to Mrs. Tai.

There are little servants in the outer courtyard who ask to see them.

"Madam, Master Hou said that I will go shopping on West Street with Fifth Master and Master Zhu, so I don't have to wait for them to eat."

Eleven Niang nodded and went to Mrs. Tai.

"They play theirs, we play ours." Mrs. Tai didn't care when she heard this, and talked about the second lady and Sister Zhen'er throwing needles at noon: "Yi is really sinking, and Sister Zhen'er is floating." It's like a step, and it's very beautiful. It's a pity you're not there. ”

As he was talking, the fifth lady and the seventh lady came in hand in arm. The topic turned to the scene of throwing needles in the fifth lady's house, and did not stop until the little maid came in to set the meal.

A few people hastily ate dinner and went to Lijingxuan.

At night, the night breeze is blowing, the moon hangs in the west, the lights are brilliant, bright like a galaxy, the sky and the earth are intertwined, a prosperous scene of a peaceful and prosperous world.

Everyone ate melons and fruits, told some jokes, and at noon they threaded the needle to the moon, but let Eleven Niang get the first.

Mrs. Tai took off the red gold skein bracelet on her hand and put it on her: "This is the jackpot." ”

The fifth lady and the seventh lady shouted "eccentricity" on the side, and the lady was so anguilliated by the two that she couldn't help it, so she smiled and took off the two gold rings on Du's mother's hand: "I'll pick two in my mirror later." Then he handed it to the fifth lady and the seventh mother, and then he was born.

Du's mother also made fun: "Then it's up to me." ”

"Take your pick, take your pick!"

provoked the laughter of the whole yard, and it didn't disperse until the ugly beginning.

Xu Lingyi also just came back.

handed her a small square wooden box painted with red lacquer and gold.

"What is it?" Eleven Niang wanted to open the box, but was stopped by Xu Lingyi: "Let's take a look tomorrow." Then he put the box on the kang table next to the big kang in the window.

Probably some gadget bought on West Main Street.

Although Shi Niang was curious, she still accompanied him to play with the spear, and opened the box early the next morning.

Inside was a spider with a web in it.

Eleven Niang was very surprised.

Xu Lingyi was being served and dressed by the little maid, and asked her casually: "Is the Xizi net dense?" ”

Spiders are commonly known as Kiko.

The corners of Yiniang's mouth were raised into a pleasant arc, "This year, there are many coincidences." ”

Xu Lingyi nodded disappreciatively and said, "I'll go to Shun Wangfu with Zhu Anping later, I'm afraid I'll come back a little late, you don't have to wait for me." ”

Why did you suddenly think of taking Zhu Anping to visit King Shun?

Eleven Niang was a little surprised.

Xu Lingyi said simply: "The Queen Mother fainted again last night. I'll set up a line for Zhu Anping and King Shun, and if there is anything in the future, everyone can also take care of each other. ”

"Don't you dislike the people in your family doing business with the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Eleven Niang couldn't help but say.

"I don't like to eat in the bowl and look at the pot." Xu Lingyi said with feeling, "In life, you can't eat three meals or sleep three feet." Remember the truth that when the water is full, it overflows. ”

Eleven Niang's jaw head and sent Xu Lingyi out.

I thought I wanted to talk to Qi Niang.

Who knows, without waiting for her to find it, Qi Niang took the initiative to come to the door.

"Eleventh sister, don't worry." She said calmly, "My mother-in-law scolds Huai at home every day for the fact that I don't have children." I have no children, and I have taken one. If I dare to do unfilial deeds again, even if Zhu Anping protects me, the spittle of the world will drown me. I came to Yanjing to visit relatives, and I will be allowed to return before August 15. ”

Eleven Niang smiled: "I'm worried about you in vain." ”

Qi Niang glared at her: "Although you have been like an old woman since you were a child, I am a sister after all, and I know no less than you." ”

Eleven Niang sounded a little ridiculous.

Qi Niang scolded her: "I want to go with the fifth lady to put the river lantern on the Midyear Festival." When the time comes, you can help talk in front of Mrs. Tai! ”

Eleven Niang deliberately entangled with her: "Why do you want me to help you speak?" Why don't you help me talk and ask me to go with me to put the river lanterns? ”

Qi Niang smiled wryly: "You went, who helped bring Sister Xin'er?" ”

I want to help take care of the children by myself!

Eleven Niang couldn't cry or laugh. said deliberately: "Sister Xin is the treasure in the palm of the fifth brother and sister, the flesh of my heart, if there is a mistake, I can't afford it." No way! ”

"Ouch," Qi Niang also knew that her request was a bit excessive, but when she thought of it, she didn't know if there would be such an opportunity in the future, so she could only beg Eleven Niang with a dead face: "So no one in Danyang can rest assured, only worry about you!" ”

Eleven Niang was stunned: "Danyang asked you to say it?" ”

"It's not!" Qi Niang was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile, "After all, it's July and a half." She was afraid that Sister Xin would be afraid to be alone at home. Don't want to go...... I said, please help take care of Sister Xin'er. She didn't insist. As he spoke, his tone was half forced and half coquettish, "Can't you just look at my face?" ”
