The sky gradually became overcast, and it seemed that it was going to rain again, so Qi Gongzi proposed to go back first. When he arrived at the door of the camp tent, Qi Gongzi ordered a soldier to send Xiao Tao back. Xiao Tao asked, "Young Master Qi, when will I send you the cloak?" ”

Qi Gongzi turned his head and said gently: "The afternoon after tomorrow, I'm here." ”

Xiao Tao's heart fluttered with joy and nodded heavily. He's here, he's here. Xiao Tao went back, and he was giggling the whole time, and he even woke up with a smile in his sachet in his dream.

Early the next morning, Xiao Tao was still dreaming and giggling, so she was rubbed up by Ruosu, saying that the eldest lady was looking for her. Xiao Tao hurriedly changed her clothes and ran over.

At this hour, the eldest lady had just gotten up, but today she had already freshened up and sat on a chair in the guest hall. The expression is also serious. Xiao Tao's heart couldn't help but pound, and she raised her eyes to look at Yun Niang, and she also had a straight face. Xiao Tao was puzzled, Yun Niang had already spoken: "Kneel!" ”

Xiao Tao's heart trembled, what happened? Could it be that the eldest lady found the cloak, or did she find her identical sachet? She's hiding it all well. But seeing the serious expressions of the eldest lady and Yun Niang, she knelt down busily. But he still raised his eyes and secretly looked at the eldest lady.

Yun Niang laughed out loud. The eldest lady also raised her lips and smiled softly: "Don't scare her." She's obviously timid. ”

Seeing that they were all laughing, Xiao Tao was even more inexplicable, but she finally knew that it was not her own mistake, so she relieved her breath and sat on the ground: "What's the matter, it's so scary." ”

"Stupid girl, what day is it?" Yun Niang asked her with a smile.

"What day?" Xiao Tao folded her fingers and calculated, today is not a holiday. Whose birthday is it? Xiao Tao didn't think about it for a long time, whose ---- suddenly flashed in his mind, today is his fifteenth birthday. The boss who didn't feel his mouth open: "My? ”

Yun Niang pursed her lips and nodded: "Our young lady is extremely benevolent, and you will be blessed if you follow." Miss will give you a reward on the birthday of these of us, not to mention that you are still a big day. ”

The fifteenth birthday is the first important day in a woman's life, and from this day, she will officially grow up. If there are conditions at home, a "and basket" gift will be held. After this day, the hair can be curled up with a hairpin and ready to be married. When Xiao Tao Niang was alive, she always thought that if she could live to that day, she would have no regrets when she saw Xiao Tao grow up. But in the end, it still didn't make it to this day. After her mother went, Xiao Tao was in a daze and forgot her birthday. But the eldest lady even knew. Xiao Tao didn't know what to say for a while.

The eldest lady smiled slightly: "It's not that bothering. I will keep a book of all of you's birthdays here, and you will know it every day. On a big day, you should naturally have a good time. ”

Yun Niang said to Xiao Tao: "Don't hurry up and thank Miss Xie." And the first item of the ceremony, it is time to meet the elders of the family, let's count the eldest lady here. ”

Xiao Tao did not hesitate, knelt down and kowtowed to the eldest lady three times. Yun Niang smiled: "It's really a solid eye." As he spoke, the maid brought a tray, inside which was a light pink skirt and a pine-colored gown.

The eldest lady said: "If you want to make a formal ceremony, you still need a piece of clothing." It's just that now it's isolated on the outskirts of the city, and everything is simple because of ugliness. This garment was originally mine, but it was made a little small, and I haven't worn it yet. I'll give it to you. ”

Xiao Tao didn't know what to say, she didn't know how big the gift was. The girls in Yunwan Village just had a good meal on this day and boiled two red eggs. Such clothes were luxurious enough for her, and Xiao Tao bowed to the eldest lady three more times, unable to speak.
