Chapter Twenty-Six: Feng Qiwu

When Shaohua came back from Xiyuan, her mind was always muddy, and when she thought of Yan Kaizhi wanting Princess Shang, she didn't even have the mood to cry, and the whole person was empty.

The maid who followed her was a little frightened, thinking that she was unwell, for fear that she would faint halfway. Fortunately, I saw Youhan from a distance, and my heart was also anxious, and after passing the knot, I immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly saluted Youhan.

"Fifth lady, what's wrong with you?" Since being reprimanded by Wanhua, Chuhe and Youhan have become cautious and cautious in doing things. After calling a few times, seeing that she didn't respond, Youhan couldn't help but get nervous, "Five ladies, five ladies?!" ”

"Five ladies!" Hanzhang ran over anxiously all the way.

Shaohua was startled by her breathless appearance, and hurriedly came back to her senses, "What's the matter, you ran so fast." Because of eavesdropping on the Ling family's conversation, Shaohua was a few steps behind Wanhua and them, and when she left Xiyuan, the two girls had already left.

Hanzhang said nervously: "Fifth lady, go back to Biwuxuan and have a look, just now the third lady and the seventh lady quarreled, and the third lady was so angry that she ran back to the house and didn't let us in." ”

Wanhua thinks about her identity and doesn't know as much as Jinhua, so when she saw Wanhua for the first time and was annoyed by Jinhua, they were also scared.

Shaohua immediately woke up and hurriedly asked Hanzhang to lead the way. Thinking of Jinhua's performance just now, I understand why Wanhua is angry, but she is so angry that she can't even get close to the big girl, I'm afraid that Jinhua said something that hits Wanhua's heartache.

I didn't care about the image, lifted my skirt, and trotted all the way. In the past few days, I have been diligently practicing shuttlecock kicking and doing sports, and obviously I can't even catch up with Hanzhang when I run. When they arrived, Shuyu was also standing at the door with a worried face. Shaohua nodded at them and told them to stay at the door and walk in by themselves. As soon as she entered the inner room, she saw Wanhua crying softly on the pillow, she walked over cautiously and accidentally touched the table, which attracted Wanhua's attention.

Wanhua didn't even look at it, and cried: "Didn't you hear it when you went out?" ”

"Third sister, can't I come in too?" Shaohua was frightened by her crying, and walked over to see that Wanhua had red eyes from crying and her hair was messy. "The third sister just said that I am not sensible, how can I drive the maid out of the door, if you are tired of crying, who will help you twist the handkerchief and hand the water."

Only then did Wanhua find out that it was Shaohua who came in, and when she saw her sitting over, she was so angry that she rushed over and twisted Shaohua, "Don't talk about the maid, when Qi Niang scolded me just now, why didn't you come out to help." Shaohua was dumbfounded by the question, and just said, "I'm lost...... What did Qi Niang scold you, how could she, how dare she? "As far as Jinhua's performance in the past two days is concerned, he has always taken the initiative to show favor to them, and there is no reason to quarrel with Wanhua.

"How dare she! You didn't hear how ugly she was. Wanhua's eyes were full of red silk, Shaohua couldn't bear to look at it, and got up and poured her a glass of water. I'm curious about how ugly it sounds. Wanhua held the cup, looked at Shaohua's casual appearance and twisted a wet handkerchief to let her wipe her face, lowered her head, moved her lips, and said aggrievedly: "She said that I will lean on wherever I have benefits, and I will be proud to climb up to the county lord's mother." Also said...... She also said that I have good means, look at what she said! How ugly! Also, just now she stole the limelight from you, as if she was uneducated, she wanted to flatter the old lady of the domain, and she didn't know what the county lord's mother would think of me when she went back. ”

Shaohua was stunned for a moment, would Jinhua say such an excessive thing? It can be seen that Wanhua has been crying so much, Shaohua can't refute her words, but Jinhua just can't wait to show off in front of the guests, which is really rude.

"What does the third sister think the county lord will think of you?" When I heard it, I realized that Wanhua was just worried that she would be disgusted by the county lord.

"How can you see it! Qi Niang is so rude, the county lord will definitely think that I am the same as Qi Niang. As she spoke, her eyes turned red again.

Shaohua sighed, held her hand and said, "Has the county lord ever disliked my sister?" Wanhua thought for a moment and shook her head, "That sister thinks she is the same as Qi Niang?" Wanhua immediately retorted: "How is it possible! I am the eldest daughter of a serious concubine, and I was raised by poetry and books, how can I be the same as her. ”

"That's it, the county lord is not a fool, just now she still cares for you. If you turn your face to your sister because Qi Niang is rude for a while, then your sister will not have a good life in the future, so why bother! Shaohua said with relief.

"Really? But ......" Wanhua was a little hesitant, she obviously saw the disgusted eyes of the county lord Yinghua towards Jinhua, wouldn't it really affect her.

Shaohua also wanted to comfort her a few words, and Shuyu came in and said that the maids in Yansui Courtyard had come to invite them over for a small gathering.

"Is Qi Niang going too?" Wanhua asked.

"I heard that I haven't been able to get together since I moved to a new house, so I think so." Shuyu said cautiously.

When Wanhua heard this, her face immediately changed, "I'm not going!" ”

Shuyu was stunned for a moment, and asked Shaohua for help with his eyes. Shaohua sighed secretly, nodded, and said to Wanhua: "Sister, why should you have trouble with Qi Niang, it was Sister Yan Sui who invited us, and it was not Qi Niang." Seeing that she was about to refute, she said, "You are so angry, wouldn't it be happier to let Qi Niang know." Sister Yan Sui may think that her sister can't get along with her, which will damage your eldest daughter's demeanor. ”

Sure enough, hearing Shaohua say this, Wanhua was a little moved. Because she always can't surpass Jinhua in her mouth, Wanhua has always regarded herself as the eldest daughter and disdains to quarrel with Jinhua.

"If my sister is annoyed with Qi Niang, I have my own way to relieve your anger." Shaohua smiled slyly, which made Wanhua stunned. She pushed Wanhua to Shuyu, asked her to make up for Wanhua's makeup, and called Youhan, "Go, tell Aunt Zhang in the kitchen, pick up the biggest and fattest big and send it, hurry!" ”

Although Wanhua was puzzled, seeing that Shaohua was confident, he had no choice but to wait and see.

When Wanhua finished grooming, Youhan was already leading a big male rooster, and Wanhua was startled as soon as she went out. Shaohua didn't take it seriously, didn't explain, and accompanied Wanhua towards Yansui courtyard with a smile.

Sitting in the Yansui house, Jinhua, who was bored, heard Shaohua's footsteps from a distance, and stood up unconsciously. Just now when she went back, Aunt Su was counted, saying that she was ignorant and had wasted so many days of hard work.

But she just couldn't get angry!

When Yichen came, the Ling family blindly wanted to leave Yichen to their two daughters, and now that they have climbed to the county lord of Yinghua, they want to send Shaohua to Gaomen. Although no one grabbed her of the status of the Liu family's in-laws, Jinhua was displeased when she thought that she was always one step behind them and picked up what they didn't want. couldn't help but say a few words to Wanhua, but Wanhua ran away with red eyes, but when she went back, she was scolded.

When Yan Sui asked people to call her, she was a hundred unwilling in her heart, she was at fault first, but she couldn't pull her face to apologize, and she didn't know how Wanhua and the others would deal with her.

It was rare for Yan Sui to hold her hand and chat, but Jinhua was so restless that her eyes couldn't help but look out.

As a result, before the people arrived, Youhan led the big rooster and entered the door, which frightened the maids and gave way to the rooster. However, the big rooster did not take the usual path, swaying left and right, striding majestically and proudly, and striding and trotting in a hurry. Tired of Youhan, he chased after him, making the maids cover their mouths and chuckle. Suddenly, the rooster ran violently and broke the straw rope in Youhan's hand, Youhan screamed in surprise, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up.

The rooster ran away at once, so anxious that Youhan was sweating profusely, and hurriedly called the maid next to him to help catch it. For a while, a chicken hunting contest began, and three or four girls in dresses surrounded a big with high toes. Youhan and Shuyu couldn't catch it, so the two collided together and fell to the ground. Yan Sui saw that there was so much excitement outside the door, and she was also curious to come out.

Jinhua followed behind Yan Sui, and when he saw the rooster, his whole face changed, he instantly turned white, his lips trembled, and he retreated to the door in fright.

Seeing the Shaohua sisters coming in together, and seeing the maids in a yard running with the rooster, I couldn't help but hold my stomach and laugh. "Third sister, fifth sister, what are you doing, the maids all over the yard are running after the rooster."

Shaohua stepped forward with a smile: "Sister Yansui, this is a congratulatory gift for you." ”

"What kind of congratulatory gift is this?" Yan Sui laughed so much that tears came out, and asked with the corners of her eyes tucked.

"Yan Niangzi, this, this is not a rooster." Youhan finally caught the rooster with the joint efforts of everyone, sweating profusely, and her little face was flushed with exhaustion. When Yan Sui heard this, he smiled curiously: "It's not a rooster, what is it, is it a hen." Yan Sui looked at the rooster in Youhan's arms, the crown of his head was huge and red, no matter how he looked at it, it was majestic and powerful.

Shaohua replied with a smile: "Of course it's not a hen, this is the most suitable gift for Sister Yan Sui." For a while, except for Wanhua pursing her lips and smiling, everyone else opened their eyes wide, looking at the rooster in Youhan's arms, and they couldn't tell that this chicken had anything to do with Houli. Shaohua nodded at Wanhua and said, "Don't question it, what I said is true, and there are three meanings." ”

"Which three layers." Yan Sui asked.

"First, the chicken is the phoenix, as the old saying goes, 'the phoenix does not inhabit the sycamore', we live in Biwuxuan, isn't it the habitat of the phoenix. Second, the homonym of chicken is auspicious, symbolizing prosperity, wealth and auspiciousness. Shaohua said, not too dirty, took the rooster from Youhan's hand, and stepped into the hall. Mother You followed, frowning a little, and it was hard to say anything, so she could only follow in.

Yan Sui couldn't help but laugh happily when she heard Shaohua's words, "What about this third meaning?" ”

"This third layer!" As soon as Shaohua walked into the hall, Jinhua stepped back tremblingly, she took one step, and Jinhua took two steps back. "It is said that in ancient times, the chicken was the incarnation of the Chongming bird, and the Chongming bird was a holy object to ward off evil spirits and pray for blessings, so this third layer is the meaning of the town house and the evil spirit."

"Hehe, fifth sister, you are so interesting, where did you hear these ancients, I also believed the first two. What about this last one......" Yan Sui looked at the rooster in Shaohua's hand with round eyes and struggled to break free, but she hadn't finished her words, and she didn't know if the rooster was too strong or Shaohua's strength was too small. The rooster, which was finally caught, jumped down from Shaohua's hand and ran in the direction of Jinhua.

Jinhua was already trembling with fear when she saw the rooster appear in the morning, and when she saw the majestic rooster rushing towards her, she screamed all the way without image at all, and ran all the way out.
