July 15, the autumn of the gang.

Popularly known as "Halloween".

The pomp and circumstance of Halloween is almost parallel to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the so-called "sharing sorrow and joy", and seeing different things the same. It's just that there is a saying that when there are many days of joy and sadness, there is a saying that there are three days of happy events and five days and seven days, and one day of sad events is enough. Halloween's pomp and circumstance is on this day.

It was early in the morning, and the sky was cloudy, dim, and drizzling. In late summer and early autumn, there is very little rain in the morning, let alone on the 15th of July, which has rarely been seen in previous years.

When the light was faint, the housekeeper led the fourth son to Shouzhongju and reported to the old lady, about to receive the order of the second master Zhuang Lu to report today's affairs. Because the night before Yu Qi lived in Shouzhong to eat, the old lady told her about today's pomp and etiquette, which is roughly divided into three worships in the morning, noon and evening.

In the morning, the "fairy please" is set in Maozheng, and the family and others arrange the affairs to be placed, and the sedan chair is used for tea, and all of them should be full. The masters who are more diligent should begin to support the people when they are ugly; If you're lazy, get up and get dressed up, it's time to prepare. It's all a rough timing.

The housekeeper came to live in the middle of the life about the beginning of the hour, and the change of the bell outside was only finished, and when he left, he may not be at the second quarter of the hour. Yu Qi woke up early. I had a conflict with Zisu the first day, and because of Zhuang Yu's matter, I thought that Zisu ignored herself, but at that moment, Zisu rubbed her eyes to wake her up.

Zi Su said: "You are different from people, when are you still tired of sleeping?" Even if it's different from usual, you don't have to dress up so much, so you can go over early, so that the old lady has nothing to say to you. ”

Yu Qi has woken up, but he is tired of being in bed, thinking about the three meditations today, watching people come and go, mostly boring, and then sitting hard all day long, when there is no rest, now, I want to lie down for a while, comfortable and comfortable.

Zi Su is concerned, it can be seen that she has a knife mouth and a tofu heart, which is the outside and soft on the inside.

Yu Qi got up lazily, regretting it inexplicably, rushing so early, so unenergetic, and stuffy.

When he got up, he asked, "Is it going to rain?" ”

Zisu didn't reply to her, and went outside to bring the nun's robes, clothes and hats and other items. After waiting for Yu Qi to finish grooming and dressing neatly, it really started to rain outside.

Yu Qi sighed: "If the weather is cooler, I still think that I am passing Qingming." Who would have thought it was autumn! ”

Zisu said coldly: "It's still early in autumn!" The Mid-Autumn Festival has not arrived, how to call it autumn. Girl, you think a lot, and you are sad and sad, I see that you are like this, most of you regret it! Who told you to take over the work of a nun, a good girl should not be, but a nun. ”

Because the sky was not bright, Zisu lit a lantern and asked Yu Qi if he would go over this time or wait for a while. Yu Qi looked at his dress and thought it was funny, saying that if he passed like this, would it scare people. After all, the man has stepped out of the door.

When I got outside, I saw that the rain was not big, and it was not small, so I simply said that I didn't need an umbrella and walked to the gate of the yard. When I arrived at the door, I happened to see the housekeeper and Si'er running out of Shouzhongju.

At this time, the rain in the sky was slightly heavier.

Zisu complained: "I said you wouldn't take the umbrella." You have a hat, I don't. ”

After that, Zisu handed the lamp to Yu Li, and she went to the mirror flower Xie Li House to look for an umbrella.

Zisu came out with an umbrella, but he was no longer in sight, and when he walked out, he heard laughter from the porch of Shouzhongju. Zisu thought to herself, she might go first.

Zisu was a little annoyed, and slowly came to Shouzhong with an umbrella. Approaching the porch, I heard a few girls chattering, standing there talking, and looking inside. Some of them saw Zisu coming with an umbrella, greeted him, and turned their heads to look.

Those girls beckoned to Zisu, Zisu went up.

When they came to them, they said, "I thought you were like Miss Qi!" Why aren't you dressed like a girl? ”

Zisu said angrily: "Your father is dead, and your mother is going to follow?" I wish everyone in the world was dead, or would I wish I had to be a sister-in-law? You like to be a sister-in-law so much, hurry up with our girl, why bother to pull me along! ”

Where have the girls eaten Zisu so ruthlessly, they were a little scared, so they dispersed and stopped caring about her.

Seeing the girls leaving in a huff, Zisu put down the umbrella and listened to the sound inside. I only heard the old lady saying something "oops", and occasionally heard the voices of Yu Qi, Zhuang Yu, Grandma and others.

It turned out that when Zisu went to get the umbrella, Yu Qi stood outside the gate of Jinghua Xie Courtyard, waiting for her to come out together. Who would have thought that Zi Su had just left, and a group of people suddenly came in outside, as if they had made an appointment, a group of people were carrying lanterns and hurrying to walk. At first glance, it was from the east, north, west, and south. Pudu followed.

A group of people wearing nun robes, all gathered in front of Pudu, and the daily attire of the girls and wives in the house was clearly distinguished. Naturally, Yu Qi's dress was also eye-catching, and there were lights to respond, and those people saw her quickly. The rest of the people didn't say anything, Xianglian and Zhuang Yu came to say hello. So, Yu Qi followed him to Shouzhongju.

Right now, Zisu put his umbrella on the side of the pillar under the porch, shook the rain on the hem of his skirt, rubbed the soles of his shoes, tiptoed into the door, and walked lightly inside. When I entered the room, I saw a room of light, bright lamps, brilliant pearl hairpins, and bright eyes in the gray nuns.

Zisu saw Yu Qi at a glance.

Yu Qi stood beside Pudu, and looked closely, these nuns were people from the four mansions! Dongfu sent Zhuang Yu, Jingmo, Lu Xi, Hong'er, Lingli, and Taoqin; Beifu sent Fei Jiu, Ma Dajiao, sour plum, chili pepper, and Yuyuan; Xifu sent Xianglian, gold paper, and jade screen; Nanfu pointed to Pudu and Xiang'er.

Seventeen people.

Yu Qi and Zhuang Yu were there, very provocative. Just looking at Yu Qi, after all, she is a girl from outside, she can't say anything, why did this Zhuang Yu suddenly follow and be a sister-in-law?

Zisu was a little surprised.

Everyone said that Zhuang Yu was doing something about her sister-in-law, but no one noticed that Zisu came in.

At that moment, the old lady said: "Yesterday I heard that the wives in the four mansions did not allow the girls to play with them, I thought, I don't care about the people in the four mansions, so I can go casually." In our Zhongfu alone, there is Miss Qi who dedicates this heart, and I am very happy to see it. Who would have thought that the four girls would be silent, contrary to her wife's wishes, and they would follow. As he spoke, he looked deeply at the Qin clan sitting below.

Bottom, why not just the Qin family? The wives and aunts of the four mansions are here, and the little aunt and Aunt Nazha, who have disappeared for a few months, are also here, along with Yi Linglong, who is not afraid of heaven and earth!

It's really complete.

Everyone laughed when they heard the old lady say this.

Zhuang Hu, who was standing in front of the girls, replied for the Qin family with a smile: "The old lady still said it, we don't know." Everyone knows the fourth sister, who usually doesn't like to talk and laugh, but who knows that she has the courage to make her own decisions. Mrs. naturally didn't dare to blame her, she offered her kindness to the old lady with all her heart, so that she could bear the burden with Sister Qi and not be alone. The affection of our group of sisters is not as good as the two of them. ”

Zhuang Hu said, looking back and forth at Zhuang Yu and Yu Qi.

Yu Qi also glanced at Zhuang Yu and admired it very much. How long has it been, Zhuang Yu is still so cold to herself, I really don't know where I offended her; She wasn't like this before, and she gave herself an elm hairpin. Where did that Zhuang Yu go?

The old lady said: "This year is different from previous years, you have changed this clothes, and the good it has brought to the old Zhuang Mansion, the wife of the old Zhuang Mansion, the old men have remembered it." I said, don't be angry with them. What was wrong in the past, all the pen was written off. Pray for all the best and safety for all. ”

Everyone said yes and agreed.

Just in time, a girl from outside came and said, "The old man is here." ”

Shaoqing, Zhuang Xi took the lead, Zhuang Lu, Zhuang Qin, and Zhuang Yao entered in plain clothes, rushed into the hall, and knelt down in unison to greet the old lady. Say it's the hour again, and ask the old lady to move.

The old lady nodded, and with a heavy "um", she was helped up by Zhu'er and Mei'er. At this time, the family was silent and followed the old lady out. When they arrived outside the hospital, the girls had already prepared umbrellas and distributed them to the people in various provinces.

When it was in Zisu's hands, Zisu shook his head and said that he had brought it, and he was busy looking for the umbrella he brought, found the umbrella, and flashed back to Yu Qi's side.

Out of the gate of Zhongfu, I opened my eyes and saw a lantern fire outside, a row of sedan chairs that stretched without a tail, the sedan chair drivers were waiting early, all wearing robes and hats, very neat. Seeing this, Yu Qi and Zisu were amazed and sighed, not to mention other pomp, such pomp is rare!

Seeing the old lady come out, the big sedan chair at the head knocked on the door, wanting to be respectful. The four old men took the hands of Zhu'er and Mei'er to help the old lady, and before they could step towards the sedan chair, they suddenly saw Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Xu, two brothers, running in the rain from the front.

Zhuang Pu bowed and reported: "Go back to the old lady, old man, the high horse in front of you is well driven." ”

The old man didn't reply, and still helped the old lady into the sedan chair. Half of the old lady's body entered the sedan chair, stopped, turned her head and said, "The old man doesn't have to serve me, let's go and get on the horse first!" Don't miss the hour. Others, according to the previous years' sitting, the girl will sit in a sedan chair with me! ”

The old man withdrew his hand and came back, and Zhu'er and Mei'er went to pick it up. At that moment, the old lady entered the sedan chair, and the old man went forward with Zhuang Pu and Zhuang Xu.

Later, the wives and girls traveled in turn in the order of the house, walked to their respective sedan chairs, and entered by the handrails of the subordinates. Yu Qi was a little embarrassed, thinking that the old lady would look different like this, so he walked to the old lady's sedan chair and said softly: "Old lady, it's not appropriate for me to sit with you in this dress." I want to sit with my four sisters. ”

The old lady frowned, and soon, Shu unfolded, and said with a smile: "That's it, please break the invitation, but don't you cut off my invitation?" Then there you go! ”

Walking away from the old lady, Yu Qi quickly caught up with Zhuang Yu, and when he followed, he happened to see Jing Mo helping Zhuang Yu to get into the sedan chair.

Yu Qi smiled coldly at Zhuang Yu and said, "Sister Yu, I told the old lady that I wanted to sit with you." You don't mind, do you? ”

When Zhuang Yu heard this, he turned around and said, "Sister, please." ”

Yu Qi excused himself: "You first." ”

Zhuang Yu was originally going to be polite, but there was a complaint in the sedan chair behind him. I only heard the little aunt say: "When is it, the old man is in a hurry, and the girl pushes three and four, and does not pinch and calculate, nor does she look at whether the rain in the sky is big or small." ”

Hearing this, Yu Qi hurriedly went to help Zhuang Yu and entered the car door.

Entering the sedan chair, Yu Qi smiled at Zhuang Yu very embarrassedly, wanting to say something, but before he could speak, he heard a series of calls outside: "Get up the sedan chair"

When the sedan car got up, there was another series of calls: "Go to the ancestral house!" ”

The sedan body tilted back and forth a few times and got up. Yu Qi didn't adapt for a while, there was a breath hanging in his chest, he couldn't go up and down, and he was very uncomfortable.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yu said, "Sister, don't panic, it's like this when you get on the sedan chair, it's good to be dizzy for a while." ”

Yu Qi nodded, smiled gratefully, and said, "Said that you are going to the old mansion and are you going out of the gate?" ”

Zhuang Yu lifted the sedan curtain and glanced out, then put it down again, and said, "Yes!" In the old house in the south of the city, the old lady used to go to worship the Buddha. My sister came this year, and she shouldn't know. However, we will find out in a moment. It's basically the same as in our house, but it takes a while to sit in a sedan chair. It's just the right time to get over there! ”

The old mansion in the south of the city that Zhuang Yu said is where Zhuang Yu asked Bichi to live. How could Yu Qi know about that place?
