When we came to the entrance of my small courtyard and alley, Yin De stopped the carriage, and I jumped down from the carriage neatly and said to Yin De:

"You wait here for me for a while", he said and entered the alley, came to the door of the small courtyard and opened the door to enter. Came to my room to find out the men's clothes to change into, untied the bun and braided it into a hat and put on a hat, then wrapped the women's clothes I changed into and walked out, locked the door and came to the entrance of the alley.

"Why didn't my sister just come out in men's clothes?" I got into the carriage and pointed to the costume on my body and said:

"What if I don't sneak away and get discovered?" Yin De said clearly:

"That's what my sister said," and then asked:

"Sister, where are we going?" I thought for a moment and said:

"Let's go to the new store first!" My small courtyard is not too far from the new store, Yin De drove the car not much older: it will be there in a while, I got out of the car Yin De said:

"Sister, I'll leave first if there's nothing to do, there are too many people here I'm afraid someone will recognize me", I nodded and said:

"Okay, you can go back! I'll go back by myself later", watching Yin De drive the carriage away, I only entered the store, because there were not many guests before the meal, everyone saw that I came in and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello, Liu Cunfu came over and smiled:

"Why is Childe free to come here today, and the shopkeeper is busy in the back? The little one is going to invite him over? I said:

"No need to please, I'll go to the back to find him" I walked through the lobby to the backyard but didn't look for Mr. Zhao, but went straight to the office for us, when Xiaolan went out in the morning, I asked her to send a letter to Rong Ruo and asked him to come here to find me in the afternoon, I entered the house Rong Ruo was already there, he saw that it was me who came in, put down the teacup in his hand and called softly:

"Qingqiu", I came to him and smiled:

"Have you waited a long time?" He shook his head and said:

"No", he looked me up and down and said distressedly:

"You've lost weight", I laughed:

"It's better to look thinner and wear clothes", he smiled and picked up a silk scroll from the table and said:

"The day after tomorrow is your birthday, this is for you", I took it and put it flat on the table to open it, it is a portrait, the woman in the painting is smiling and smiling, staring at a red plum in the snow, seeing that this woman's face is clearly me, I rolled up the scroll with a red face and carefully put it away:

"Thank you". I didn't tell Rong Ruo about my possible entry into the palace, I think he should know that I was going to participate in the draft, we didn't want to open this layer of window paper, I asked some about Rong Ruo's recent situation, and suddenly Rong Ruo asked me:

"Qingqiu, if I have nothing and am not the son of Nalan, are you still willing to go to the end of the world with me?" I was stunned for a moment and smiled:

"Of course", looking at Rong Ruo's overflowing smile, I smiled:

"Don't you know that when I was Miss Curb Mansion, I was just as good as I was? What I care about is that your person is not your identity", the time of getting together always passes quickly, I have to leave quickly, Rong Ruo sent me back with his own carriage, I sat on the car and took out the women's clothes I was wrapping, Rong Ruo saw me untie my braids and blushed and said:

"I'll sit outside", said and went out to sit outside with Qingtong who was driving the car, I changed my clothes and arrived at the back door of the house after a while, I got out of the car and said goodbye to Rong Ruo, and then sneaked in quietly with the men's clothes I took off.

The next day, please ask Anshi Fujin to tell me that I invited the troupe to come, the stage was set up in the garden, let me have breakfast and go over with Eniang, I thanked and then went to Eniang, Eniang looked very good, after breakfast at Eniang, they went to the garden together, the stage was set up on the edge of the pond, there were little girls and old mothers in the garden in the arrangement of tables, chairs and benches, tea and fruit snacks, although it was summer at this time, it was not too hot, the tables were placed in the shade under the trees, not long after a while, Fujin came over with a few Shu Fujin, Eniang and I stepped forward and sat down separately, and a little girl came over with a play, and Fu Jin said with a smile:

"Today is Youning's birthday, let her order first!" I hurriedly got up and said:

"Fujin and you are all Youning's elders, although today is Youning's birthday, but Youning doesn't dare to cross in front of the elders, let's order Fujin first!" , Fu Jin smiled and took over the play and ordered a play "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" and a "True and False Monkey King", I thought that in the modern "Journey to the West" I never get tired of laughing, we are the same!

Eniang and Shu Fujin both ordered the play, I am not very familiar with the play, when the play was handed to me, I had to order a play randomly.

The gongs and drums on the stage are noisy, and when the actors appeared, I found out that they were all children, I looked at the little actors who worked the stage and felt a little sad, it was the age of love and care of their parents but suffered so much for their livelihood, I know that the ancient opera is pitiful and belongs to the lower nine streams, and the practice is also very bitter, Fujin They are all watching the play with relish, I quietly instructed Bihe to send some fruit and snacks to those children to eat, I like it because I think the opera is very good, but I don't understand much, But this must be for my birthday, I am embarrassed to leave, finally managed to finish a few plays, Fu Jin let people scatter the reward money, reward melons and fruits snacks to them, we also have old mothers here for new tea, brought new melons and fruits, I used some slightly, the sky is getting hotter, Fu Jin said:

"Let's rest, everybody! I'm also tired", said and got up and was helped by Akush Mama to go, and after Fujin left, the Fujin people also left, and I said to Eniang:

"E-Niang, let's rest too!" , Eniang held my hand and smiled:

"Ning'er, let's rest too! Some of the trouble in the past two days! I smiled and nodded and sent Eniang away, only Bihe, Xiaolan was left around, because Xiaolan deliberately didn't go to the store for my birthday, Xiaolan said:

"Miss, let's go back too! Just now, the eldest young master, the second young master, and the third young lady all gave gifts! I laughed and said:

"Alright! Let's go back too! "The eldest brother sent a pair of crystal clear jade bracelets, the second brother gave me a Xiangfei bamboo fan and a pair of fan pendants, Tara sent her own embroidery, two handkerchiefs embroidered with rich begonias, a few Shu Fujin also sent embroidery, beads and the like, Fujin sent a complete set of gold head and face hand ornaments, Eniang also gave me a set of hand ornaments that she was married to, I asked Bihe to put things away, I was about to rest, Bihe and Xiaolan came over and smiled:

"On my sister's birthday, we don't have anything to take, so let's kowtow to my sister!" , said that both knelt down and kowtowed, I didn't pull it, I said:

"Xiaolan, take some silver to Mama Liu in the kitchen, then she will buy us a table tomorrow night, and we will close the door and have fun."
