Zhuo Zhaocui was anxious to worship under Cui Nanfeng's door, and hurriedly explained the situation of Chang Zhao's family to Zhuo Zhaojie, and the next day, he went to visit the big house to visit the patient, and since the third day, he was led by You Fei to meet a few relatives, and on the fifth day, You Ruoheng personally took and packed his luggage to Huaixing Academy.

On this day, You Ruoheng and Zhuo Zhaocui just left on the front foot, and You Can on the back foot pulled Zhuo Zhaojie to Ban's side, and proposed to go to the Bai family to accompany Bai Zihua: "The fourth cousin is worried now, when I came back, I promised her to accompany her a few days earlier, how can people be untrustworthy?" Grandmother said yes! Shoji also goes! ”

Ban said with a smile: "Ordinary cousin, one is common to fight Xiaoxiao, and the other is from afar, and it is so obvious that Peter is so important, I can't stand it and want to give in for Chao Cuidao." ”

"Grandmother!" You Can saw that Ban was making fun of himself, and the maids and maids nearby all covered their sleeves and snickered, their faces turned red, and said, "Cousin Zhuo came to Jiangnan to study and improve, not to visit the mountains and rivers, even if it is, cousin also has his own brothers to accompany him!" What's more, this time I'm going to accompany my cousin, and what is going on with my cousin? My grandmother will bully me! ”

Ban Shi saw that she was going to be annoyed, so he said: "You can go, ask your four sisters if they are going, the child embroiders flowers and grass in the room all day, although Shuxian is too quiet, even a few little ladies can't recognize it, take this opportunity, if she is willing to go out, you sisters can also have a care." ”

You Can heard that she was approved, and said with great joy: "Let's go and ask the fourth sister!" ”

On the way, she said to Zhuo Zhaojie: "I bet that the fourth sister will not go!" ”

"I'm not betting with you." Zhuo Zhaojie pouted and said, "The quietness of the fourth cousin is well-known in Hefu. ”

Although both of them were sure that You Ling would not go out, since Ban said it, they still went to the third room in the end. Unfortunately, when the two of them arrived near the third room, they heard the scolding of the third lady and the crying of the woman......

"Or, let's ask the fourth cousin again tomorrow?" Zhuo Zhaojie was a little afraid of seeing the third lady because of Zhuo Zhaocui's matter, and just caught up with the third lady in the concubine, and she didn't want to go in more and more, You Can also knew that it was not appropriate to come forward at this time, but she was worried about Bai Zijing, and she didn't want to delay for another day, so she said to Lizhi: "You go in and ask!" ”

Lychee was full of embarrassment, and said: "The maid is not afraid of making the third lady angry, but the fourth lady has always been polite, since it is the old lady who speaks, but it is the maid who asks, this is ......"

The two cousins glanced at each other, and they both had a headache - Lychee was right, You Ling was extremely polite, she had always been polite to others, and if others perfunctory her, she would not follow.

You Can weighed for a moment, and in the end he wanted to go to the Bai family, he had the upper hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go!" ”

Zhuo Zhaojie hurriedly said: "You know my ......"

"Can you bear to ask me to go over alone and listen to the third aunt's sour words?" You Can pulled her and refused to let go, the two were deadlocked for a moment, Zhuo Zhaojie had to agree, so they went over together and knocked on the door of the third room, the door was originally hidden, and the third lady inside was scolding vigorously, and no one answered after knocking a few times, You Can was anxious, so he simply pushed it away by himself, and went in and said, "Third aunt!" ”

The third lady turned her head and saw that it was her niece and niece who came in together, so she stopped scolding the concubine and said, "Yo, why did you come here today?" ”

You Can smiled and said, "Let's come to see the fourth sister." ”

"That's what the old lady meant, right?" The third lady said in a non-yin and non-yang manner, "Usually although you are close in age, you have never been able to play with her, no wonder, her stuffy gourd sex. Son, I feel depressed when I look at it, it's common for you to dislike her, although she is a little stuffy, it's not that she doesn't care, but what if her life is not good and she doesn't hurt people! ”

As he spoke, he swept Zhuo Zhaojie and hummed, "Zhaojie, did you say it?" ”

As soon as Zhuo Zhaojie heard this, she knew that the third lady was angry and partial, and it was naturally strange to speak, she pursed her lips and said, "The third aunt said that she laughed, if the fourth cousin didn't attract pain, how could my grandmother ask us to come to find her?" It can be seen that at least her grandmother loves her. ”

The third lady choked, and at this time, the concubine under the steps was tortured because she had just been tortured, and she was in pain, so she couldn't hold back and whimpered a few times, which attracted her attention, and then shouted: "Stop and do what?" Fight me to the death! ”

After the bamboo whip was picked up again, the third lady asked them again: "What did the old lady make you do to find Lingniang?" ”

"This month, my cousin went out of the cabinet and wanted to invite a few more sisters to accompany her, originally we were afraid of disturbing the fourth sister, but my grandmother said that it is now spring, maybe the fourth sister likes to go out." You Can said busily.

The third lady snorted: "She's weird that she will go out!" At a young age, he is lifeless all day long! So saying, "Go ahead." ”

You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie thanked him, and then quietly went up to the cloister and went to You Ling's house, when they passed near the concubine, the two couldn't help but glance at it, but they saw that it was You Zhen's favorite concubine, who only entered the door in October last year, called Cuiqiao, and now was pressed on the bluestone in the court by several rough servants, and her clothes had already been broken in a few places, and her body was covered with blood - I don't know how to provoke the third lady.

However, You Zhen has always liked this Cui Qiao very much, today he went out to meet friends, and when he came back to see it, he had to argue with the third lady again, and the excitement in the third room was so constant......

The four ambassador women who served in the spirit house were starting with the word He, followed by He Blue, He Qing, He Hong, and He Orange.

You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie just walked near the spirit house, and it happened that He Lan came out with something in his hand, saw it in the corridor, and hurriedly said: "Sanniang and Qiniang are here?" ”

You Lingzi also heard it, and after a while, I saw her neatly dressed, her hair combed neatly, and she went down the corridor to greet her in a regular manner - You Lingsheng was like You Zhen, with beautiful eyebrows and black hair, she was a pretty little beauty, but her face was usually serious, although it was often ridiculous to look serious at her age, but she didn't have the vitality that a twelve-year-old girl should have, just a very bland greeting: "Third sister, seventh cousin." ”

You Can's temperament is not similar to her, so she is not verbose at the moment, and said bluntly: "Zhaojie and I plan to go to the Bai family to accompany the fourth lady who is about to leave the pavilion of the Bai family, even if it is my cousin, she also wants to invite you to go, not to mention that grandmother said that it is spring now, and you have not been going out, I am afraid that you will be bored, so I asked us to ask you, can you go?" ”

Sure enough, even if You Can mentioned Bai Zihua and Ban's family, You Ling refused without blinking an eye: "I have a picture of crossing the mountains in summer, and I have only embroidered half of it, and it is the time to be inseparable, grandmother and the lady of the Bai family are kind, but I can't bear it, and the two sisters of Lao will go on this trip." ”

You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie knew that she would definitely not go, but they couldn't just ask, so Zhuo Zhaojie persuaded: "The fourth cousin always embroiders in the house like this, and she has to look carefully, so it's better to go out and relax quickly." ”

"Cousin Xie Qi cares, but I only grow up with embroidery flowers, and I am afraid that I will be uncertain when I go out." You Ling said dryly.

Seeing this situation, the two of them didn't say much, and said, "Then let's go first, and come back with you to bring your favorite pastries and preserves." ”

You Ling thanked him again, but suddenly thought of something, and said: "Two sisters, stay here, I remember that I have cherries sent by the Lian family here, I'm afraid that my mother is busy today, and I can't send them everywhere." ”

"Since we have it later, why bother to eat your share here?" You Can was in a hurry to go to the Bai family, so he didn't have the heart to taste any cherries, so he immediately refused.

You Ling said: "You came here in person to ask me if I would go to the Bai family, how could I leave without drinking a cup of tea?" Where is this hospitality? Why don't you come in and have some tea, eat some cherries, and then go? ”

You Can had a headache for a while, but he also knew that You Ling was the most particular about these etiquettes, and he couldn't hold her in the end, so he had to take off the clogs with Zhuo Zhaojie and go in, and sure enough, he saw that in the side room, separated by a pair of water spirit curtains, it was an embroidery frame about two feet wide, and there seemed to be traces of mountains and rivers on it.

Now that he has entered, You Can has the leisure to ask a few words: "But the summer mountain crossing picture of the phase?" ”

"Exactly." You Ling commanded He Lan and He Hong to make tea with cherries, and said, "It's the one that congratulates my grandfather on his fiftieth birthday, I borrowed it from my grandfather two days ago, and I want to embroider one according to it." ”

"The fourth cousin's embroidery skills are getting more and more exquisite." Zhuo Zhaojie went over to lift the curtain and looked at it, and when he came back, he exclaimed, "It's so vivid!" ”

Although You Ling loves embroidery very much, he didn't have any joy when he heard this praise, and said lightly: "If the seventh cousin likes it, I will give it to you after embroidery." ”

Although You Ling because she likes embroidery, she has done a lot of things for the top and bottom of the family, but they are all small pieces, and now this mountain picture should be the largest one she embroidered, not to mention the exquisite embroidery skills, that is, the embroidery skills are mediocre, just such a large one, it is not easy, Zhuo Zhaojie thought that even if she was not to honor her elders, she should always put it in her own room, and she was a little flattered when she heard this: "Really? ”

"Nature is true." Seeing that she looked surprised, happy and embarrassed, You Ling finally showed a slight smile, "I just embroidered and played with nothing, and I didn't plan to do anything with it, Seventh Cousin likes it, so I just took it." ”

Zhuo Zhaojie was very pleased, and felt that it was a little plain to benefit her, and there was nothing in return, so after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I can't take yours for nothing - I have a pair of jasper earrings there, and I will send them to you later." ”

You Ling didn't shirk and said, "Okay." ”

You Can drank tea and ate cherries at this time, and felt that You Ling's interest in hospitality should be enough, so he got up and said, "We have to go to the Bai family today, we have to go back to clean up, the earrings, wait for my cousin to come back from the Bai family and send them to you, right?" ”

"There's no hurry." You Ling said, and asked someone to fill a small bag of cherries, and asked them to take them away, the two of them couldn't accept it, and she sent it to the door, You Can heard that the third lady in front of her was still cooking that cuiqiao, her eyes rolled, and she said to You Ling: "Fourth sister, you ask someone to accompany us to the back door, and then go to the front through the alley, and the third aunt in front is busy, so we won't bother." ”

You Ling looked at the place where the voice came from, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Just ask He Lan to accompany you." ”

On the way, You Can had to ask a few words to He Lan: "What's going on with Cuiqiao?" ”

"Isn't it because Lian Jia sent cherries today?" He Lan said, "Because I am afraid that it will be too late to be sunburned and not fresh, so it was sent early in the morning, and the lord of Lang has not left yet, and when I saw it, I asked Mrs. to leave more for Cui Qiao, saying that Cui Qiao was still thinking about eating cherries two days ago, and Mrs. said, this is sent by her mother's family, and it should be distributed to each room, what is a concubine bought in for ten taels of silver, and it is also worthy of being a serious relative?" Lord Lang was unhappy, so he scolded Mrs. a few words, and insisted on taking a basket into it and giving it to Cui Qiao - just now, someone happened to come to look for Lord Lang, Lord Lang went out, and Mrs. took people to Cui Qiao's room, splashed the basket of cherries on the ground and trampled on them, and dragged Cui Qiao to the court to move the family law. ”

"Hey, this emerald will cause trouble." You Can frowned, "What does it matter to her about the cherries sent by the third aunt's house?" ”

"Actually, Lord Lang prefers her, and he doesn't give her less private money in private, and even the maid hears it, saying that Cuiqiao often sends people out to buy this and that, but can't buy cherries? It is clear that he knows that the Lian family has a cherry grove, and every year this will always send some, deliberately instigating! "He Lan is the maid of You Ling, naturally speaking to the third lady, knowing that You Can and Zhuo Zhaojie are the juniors, but they are both favored by the Ban family, so she naturally wants to explain to the third lady in front of them, "The two people in the big room have caused Ah Gong and the old lady to lose a lot in front of the Jiang family, and the maid is not at ease when he sees this Cui Qiao!" ”

You Can was not fooled, and said with a smile: "We juniors can't control these juniors, so we can only listen to them." ”
