birthday

Rong Ruo and I didn't speak along the way, I really didn't know what to say, I peeked at Rong Ruo, my face was calm and I didn't know what I was thinking, when I was about to get to my residence, Rong Ruo suddenly stopped and caused me to almost hit him, he looked at me and said, "Qingqiu, what's wrong with you?" Can I help you? I said: "It's nothing, maybe it's the original Gu who drank some wine, and remembered his life experience", Rong Ruo said: "Qingqiu, don't think too much, I'll help you check your life experience", how can I tell Rong Ruo, I'm not a person of this era! Rong Ruo saw that I didn't speak and said: "Okay Qingqiu, don't think about anything, stay here with peace of mind", I said: "Well, thank you Rong Ruo".

The next day, I got up early in the morning, freshened up and came to the front yard, Aunt Yin was checking the things to bring back, Qingtong and the other two little guys were loading the car in Zhangluo, I couldn't help but stand next to me and watch, after a while, Rong Ruo and Mr. Gu also came out, I stepped forward and asked, "Bring all the things!" Don't leave anything behind", Mr. Gu said: "I don't have anything, just a few clothes, I can't leave anything", Rong Ruo also said: "I don't have anything to leave behind", "Have you all had breakfast?" , Bihe stepped forward and replied: "The young master and Mr. have eaten, my mother said that it would be better to eat something in the cold, it can keep out the cold, and the meal is ready in the morning", I saw Bihe come out of the house and still hold some books in her hand, "Young master, this is the book you asked me to take", Bihe walked to Rong Ruo's side and said, Rong Ruo said: "Well, take it to Qingtong!" Bihe went by himself, Aunt Yin came over and said, "Young Master, everything is ready", Rong Ruo turned to Mr. Gu and said, "Then, sir, let's go!"

The group walked outside the gate, two carriages stopped outside the door, I bowed deeply to Mr. Gu and said: "Mr. Qingqiu Xie teaches, Mr. take care", Mr. Gu looked at me deeply and said: "Qingqiu girl, you also take care", said and got into the carriage, I said to Rong Ruo: "You are also Rong Ruo, don't be too tired", Rong Ruo nodded and said to me: "Don't think too much, do you know?" , I nodded and agreed, Rong Ruo also got into the carriage, the little girl closed the door and drove away, and Aunt Bihe Yin and I didn't enter the courtyard gate together until the carriage disappeared and was out of sight.

In a blink of an eye, the days have passed to the wax moon, Rong Ruo has also walked for more than ten days, the sky is getting colder and colder, Bihe also moved over to live with me, every day is not embroidery or reading, although the days are simple but also fulfilling, this afternoon, I am reading Bihe picked up the curtain and said: "Sister, you are reading again, is it not possible to be a female gentleman", I smiled and said: "Am I not bored? Why did you go this morning, I didn't see you after lunch", "I helped my mother prepare things, and it will be Laba Festival in two days", "Yes! It's so fast, do you need to do anything? I'll help too", "No need sister, it's all ready, but don't you prepare a gift when the young master's birthday is coming?" Hearing Bihe say this, I couldn't help asking, "Is Rong Ruo's birthday coming?" When? Bihe replied: "Twelve, six more days", "Oh! I know", said and looked at the book in his hand again, but thought about what gift Rong Ruo should prepare for his birthday? But I can't see it anymore.

Lying in bed at night, thinking about what gift to give Rong Ruo, alas! What should I give? Gold, silver, jewelry, he certainly doesn't want to say that I don't have it, send purses, sachets and the like, although I will also do it, but these seem to be used by men and women in ancient times, and it is not good to send these, otherwise it is not good to embroider a painting, which can not only represent the mind but also not cause misunderstanding, and the mind has been decided to fall asleep with peace of mind.

I got up in the morning and prepared the things I needed, a piece of fine brocade, a color silk thread and an embroidery frame, in Bihe's puzzled eyes began, because the time is very tight, these two days I am in addition to eating and sleeping are basically embroidering, Bihe came in with a tray, saw that I was still embroidering and said: "Sister, don't be too tired, embroider after eating!" Saying that, I put down the tray in my hand, and I looked at the food that Bihe put down and had Laba porridge before I remembered today's Laba Festival, and said to Bihe: "Today is Laba Festival!" I forgot, I'm really hungry, I ate! As he spoke, he put down the needle and thread in his hand and began to eat.

A bowl of laba porridge and a plate of side dishes, this porridge is really rich! There are japonica rice, millet, red beans, sweet potatoes, red dates, longan and several kinds of candied fruit that I can't call, after drinking a big bowl of porridge, and before the embroidery frame, Bihe is looking at my embroidered painting: "Sister, you embroider really well, all kinds of stitches will be learned", looked at it for a while and said: "Sister, what are you embroidering!" "Keep it secret for the time being, you won't know when I finish embroidering", "Okay! Sister, I won't bother you, I'll send the bowl over, don't be too tired! "Got it, little girl, go ahead! "Because the time is a little tight, I chose to embroider cross-stitch and changed some stitches on it, but Rong Ruo doesn't know when it will come, but I don't know if I can send it to the capital, alas! No matter what, embroider it first.

Today is the twelfth day of the lunar month, Rong Ruo's birthday, looking at the embroidered painting must not be able to send it today, Bihe looked at my embroidered painting and said: "Sister embroidered really well, the young master will definitely like it", I lay on the table lazily asked: "Is it?" Seeing my depressed appearance, Bihe comforted me and said, "Sister, when the young master comes, you can send it again!" , looked at it for a while and sighed: "Alas! The house must be very lively now," he said.

The sky outside is gloomy, it seems that there will be a heavy snowfall, sure enough, after lunch, the sky will snow, just sparse and sparse, the bigger and bigger it is not in the evening is already goose feather heavy snow, stay in the room for an afternoon and Bihe learn to cut paper, I really can't sit still put down the scissors and walked out, this moment the snow on the ground has been a thin layer, the snow is dense and can't see the sky, the eyes are full of snowflakes, Bihe came out of the room and took an umbrella in his hand and said: "Sister, I'll go to the front yard to get something, Don't go over with such a heavy snowfall, I'll bring the rice", I nodded, "Okay! You be careful" said Bihe took the umbrella and left, I looked at the snow under the corridor for a while and felt a little cold and went into the house, and cut the paper for a while, the sky gradually darkened, Bihe brought dinner, after the meal, Bihe said that Aunt Yin was looking for her to have something to ask her to go over, I told her to sleep with Aunt Yin at night when the road was slippery in the dark! Don't run back and forth anymore, Bihe promised.

I picked off the candles, then took the book and sat under the lamp to read, it was about the tea ceremony, I was looking at it vigorously, there was a knock on the door, I complained in my heart, Bihe this girl said that she didn't have to come, I put down the book and got up to open the door and said, "Didn't you say that you live there?" Why are you back again", when I opened the door, Rong Ruo was standing outside the door covered in snow, I couldn't help but froze for a while, came back to my senses and hurriedly let Rong Ruo into the house, he took off his hat, I took it and hung it up, and helped him take off his cloak and shake the snow on it and asked: "Why are you here on this snowy day, is there something wrong?" , how can the house let you out", Rong Ruo sat down and looked at me and smiled: "It's nothing, I just want to come and have a look", I poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to him: "It's cold!" Warm up your hands" "Where's Qingtong?" Why didn't you see him, Aunt Yin, do they know that you are coming? I asked while adding charcoal to the stove, Rong Ruo took a sip of tea and replied: "Qingtong didn't follow, I came alone", I came to the table and sat down after adding charcoal and said: "Why are you here alone, the sky is not good, in case it ......", I took a sip of my heart and said: "Phew, bah, bah, there will be something going on there" Alas! I asked Rong Ruodao, "Have you eaten?" Without waiting for Rong Ruo to answer, I got up and said, "Surely not?" I'll do it for you, you wait here, I'll come when I go", Rong Ruo called out to me: "Qingqiu, wait, I'll go with you".

To get to the kitchen, from here I have to pass through a garden, I hold an umbrella and carry a wind lamp to walk in front Rong Ruo in the back, to the kitchen I hold the lamp, Rong Ruo found a stool to sit down, I look at the kitchen has what, nothing ready-made or freshly made! I found flour and good noodles, rolled out some noodles, led the fire, boiled water, lay down two poached eggs, cooked noodles, sprinkled leeks and poured green onion oil, a bowl of longevity noodles came out of the pot, brought it to Rong Ruo, put it on the table and said, "Eat it while it's hot!" Isn't it your birthday today? I made you longevity noodles", Rong Ruo took a quick bite and said! "It's delicious, but how do you know it's my birthday?" "Bihe told me, I also have a gift for you!" Here you go in a moment".

After Rong Ruo finished eating and I cleaned up, we went back to my residence together, I took out the embroidered painting and handed it to Rong Ruo and said: "This is my own embroidery, give you a birthday gift, don't dislike ugliness!" Rong Ruo took it, opened it, looked at it for a while, and said:

"A red, a green, a pair of pretty, a smile, a spring tide,

A butterfly, a bee, a water, a flower, a leaf, a pool.

Did you do it? I smiled and said: "No, I borrow someone else's", thinking that Rong Ruo's temperament is as noble as a lotus, and he likes lotus flowers, so he embroidered the lotus flower and wanted to match "out of the mud instead of dyeing, turbidity and clear lotus and not dying", suddenly remembered that I saw this poem in modern times and felt very lively and changed it again, "Thank you, Qingqiu, I like it very much", "You like it", I said, Rong Ruo looked at me and said: "Actually, I came to tell you one thing", what is so important, let Rong Ruo come in the snow, I couldn't help but wonder: "What's the matter?" ","Qingqiu, I... I, I like you", Rong Ruo whispered, his face turned red after speaking, I couldn't help but freeze in place, I heard it wrong! How could it be that Rong Ruo would like me? I asked again, "What did you say?" At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Bihe asked, "Sister, have you slept?" I came back to my senses and hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, and saw Bihe, Aunt Yin and Qingtong were standing outside the door, and hurriedly said: "Come in, it's cold outside", I let them all come in, Qingtong was dressed in snow, it seems that he was chasing all the way, he took off his coat and saw Rong Ruo kneeling down and said: "Young Master, you are really here, but you are scared to death Qingtong", Bihe, Aunt Yin also came to salute, Rong Ruo let them all get up and said: "It's nothing, go back to rest!" Then he said to me, "Rest early, too." Qingqiu", said and took the painting and led Qingtong's head forward, Bihe hurriedly handed Qingtong an umbrella, after their master and servant left, I avoided Aunt Yin's inquiring gaze and said: Aunt Yin, Qingtong probably hasn't eaten yet! Aunt Yin looked at me and didn't ask anything after all: "Bihe, stay with the girl!" I'll go make some food for the young master, and you guys should go to bed early! As he spoke, he turned around and left.!
