It was already the time to light the lights from the Red Mansion to the mirror and return to the mirror, and although it was nearly evening, the rain did not stop.

Before coming back, Cao asked Yuyuan to send an umbrella to Zhefanggui, and when the umbrella arrived, they rushed to ask for their favorite color umbrella. The girls in Zhuangfu are the most active, and they all have their favorite ones. Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother did not fight. Jinshu has won three, obviously, the other two are for Yu Qi and the eldest grandmother.

When Jinshu handed the umbrella to Yu Qi, she said: "Last year I came, once it rained, I didn't fight for it, and finally I got a rotten umbrella behind me, which couldn't cover people. It's obviously good to take it, but in the end, there are eyes everywhere, heavy rain outside, and heavy rain inside. I asked for these two for you. Seeing that you are motionless, you still think that others are bullying you! According to their rules, it's not rude for me to rush it. You don't have to laugh at me. ”

When the girls heard it, they just laughed, and no one said that the brocade book was not, but it was more fun. Happy everyone.

Yuyuan, who came to deliver the umbrella, said to everyone: "Because it is late, my wife said that I would like to ask Miss Jinshu to stay in our house, and the school office will be opened tomorrow, and the girl will study and play with the girls." The wife said that if the girls from the other provinces did not go back, they would all stay in the north to eat, but first I would like to ask the girls and the gentlemen what they meant. ”

There are two groups of people involved in this.

The first batch is the brocade book, she came for a day, and now it is raining and at night, Cao treats her as a guest and wants to stay with her. Now, when Jinshu heard about it, he said, "Even if I don't go back, I have to send someone to say it." Besides, I asked my brother to pick me up. I'm afraid I'm waiting outside! ”

Zhuang Pu said: "What's there, I'll let someone tell your brother, just say that you stay and play with my sisters." ”

At that time, Zhuang Yu, Zhuang Ying, and Zhuang Yu all came to hold Jinshu, showing that they didn't want her to leave.

Jin Shu said: "I am also willing." Then let's talk to my brother! It rained so hard that I rarely ran back and forth. I have to come tomorrow, so I'll stay. ”

Zhuang Pu responded, urging Zhuang Ying to go out with him. Fortunately, Yuyuan said that the uncle of Zhang's Mansion had already come, and the second wife sent someone to reply to him and sent him away.

When Zhuang Xuan heard this arrangement, she muttered and complained about her mother, and said, "Mrs. is really, you can't prepare people in advance." What if something happens to the brocade book and you want to go back? I don't understand any human feelings. ”

Jin Shule said: "As far as you know best, the people we have here belong to you who are big shots." ”

It caused everyone to laugh a few times.

The second group is whether the girls from the east, west and south provinces stay in the north to eat. Hearing Yuyuan say that his wife stayed, several people looked at each other slightly, but they didn't speak.

After they all went to Cao's place to salute, Zhuang Pu took the lead and said to Cao's: "Madam, I can't stay here for dinner, I have to play with them for a day, and I have to be busy with me at this time." ”

Cao Shi was surprised: "Just that the food in your Xifu is the food of the heavenly immortals?" Mine will not enter into your mouth? It's so late, what are you going to do? ”

Zhuang Pu grabbed Cao's arm, like a son to a mother, and said coquettishly: "Mrs! The second sister and the third sister are in trouble, so I am not allowed to have something? ”

With these words, Ming Peng said to the Cao family, you have two girls and three girls, and I am also like your own child, how can you treat it fairly? When Cao Shi heard this, it didn't matter if she didn't understand, she liked Zhuang Pu's dear love very much, so she patted the back of his hand again and again, and said, "Son, then you can eat a bowl of soup and then go, okay?" ”

Zhuang Pu reluctantly said: "Okay, good! Then I'll accompany my wife to eat a bowl of soup! ”

Because Zhuang Pu said to stay and eat a bowl of soup, the rest of the people were not good, so they all said that they would follow the second brother to rub a bowl of soup with his wife. Cao didn't say anything else, but only ordered someone to bring the food, and the soup was thicker.

Zhuang Pu finished the soup in three or two bites, wiped his mouth and took the umbrella, and really left; When Zhuang Jue saw his brother leaving, he also hurriedly said goodbye, and the girls after him saluted again and again, and withdrew from Beifu one after another.

Zhuang Xuan was not worried about tomorrow's affairs, so he hurried to catch up with everyone and said to them: "Remember to come early tomorrow morning, according to the time when the old lady wakes up in the morning, those who have books will bring the books you like, and if you don't have a few here, take them at will, just don't be late." ”

Everyone giggled, and they should say they knew.

In the end, Jinshu didn't stay in Beifu, she told the Cao family that she had to go to the third wife of Xifu to ask for peace, and to ask the old lady to go to peace. Cao's is not easy to keep, so it's up to her.

Out of Beifu, Zhuang Yu and his grandmother went back to Dongfu without mentioning it.

Zhuang Pu slipped away quickly and disappeared for a long time. Leaving Zhuang Jue to lead Zhuang Yu, Yu Qi, Jinshu, Zhuang Jue and Zhuang Ying sisters. Before they got to the trail, the mother-in-law of Nanfu came, saying that the six girls and the seven girls hadn't returned yet, and the aunt was trying to come and pick them up, so she sent them. At that moment, the mother-in-law took the sixth and seventh girls away.

For the rest, Zhuang Jue said to the remaining people: "It's all gone." Facing Yu Qi, he said, "Sister, why don't you go to our house too!" Sister Jin is also going over! Besides, a mouthful of soup in Beifu may not be able to fill the stomach, so let's eat another meal when we go back. ”

Yu Qi said: "The old lady is at home alone, it's too late this time, you can go!" I'll go back to accompany the old lady. ”

A few people understood what this meant, and they were not reluctant.

But Jinshu was a little hesitant. Zhuang Yu grabbed her and said, "Sister Jin, let's go!" ”

Jinshu has a very close relationship with Zhuang Pu, and she is worried that her stay in Xifu will provoke gossip, so she hesitates and wants to return to Yu Qi to thank her.

Zhuang Yu didn't understand, and blindly urged her to go.

At that time, Yu Qi had already taken the umbrella first. In desperation, Jinshu could only return to Xifu with Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Jue. Neither is it mentioned.

Yu Qi went all the way back to Zhongfu.

Sanxi followed left and right and said, "Girl, Miss Jin doesn't want to go to Xifu, why don't you help pull and pull?" ”

Yu Qi said: "What am I pulling? We can't pull it ourselves, how can we pull her? You are also confused, isn't the old lady arranging it like this, just to avoid the eyes and ears of idlers? ”

Sanxi exclaimed: "Oops, I'm confused!" ”

Entering the gate of Zhongfu, under the porch, lights are lit everywhere, and the light is like being immersed in a Western glass bottle, dusk and moist.

Yu Qi walked to Shouzhongju first, probably wanting to go to the old lady to say goodbye and inform him of what happened in Beifu today. When they walked to the porch outside Shouzhongju, Zhu'er and Mei'er came out of it and bumped into each other.

Mei'er nodded slightly to Yu Qi and left.

Zhu'er greeted Yu Qi with a smile: "The girl is back?" Did your wife keep her food? ”

Yu Qi said: "I stayed, ate a few bites, and thought that the old lady was at home alone, so I came back." ”

After listening to this, Zhu'er beckoned the busy little girl to come out, and ordered: "Go and heat up the food left, and bring the mirror flowers to the girl to eat." ”

Yu Qi was slightly stunned, and there was something wrong in his heart.

Zhu'er saw that Yu Qi's face was a little discouraged, so she explained: "The old lady has a meal today, and I ordered the kitchen to make it for the girl alone. At this time, the old lady's homework is not finished yet, and she is still over there! I thought the girl had eaten in Beifu. Because the people in the first north mansion went back and forth, saying that the wife kept food. Oh, look at me, I'm so careless right now. ”

Yu Qi thanked him with a smile and said, "There is Sister Lao." He was about to withdraw, and after walking down the stairs for a few steps, he turned back and asked Zhu'er, "The old lady is reciting scriptures to Master today?" ”

Zhu'er smiled and nodded, not answering yes and not answering no.

Yu Qi also nodded, and then resolutely set off and returned to Jinghuaxie.

The next morning, the rain stopped, the sky was bright, and the sky was blue.

At the request of the Red Mansion to fold Fanggui, Yu Qi got up early to make up, and asked Zisu and Sanxi to wrap the scroll, wrap it in wax paper, and then put it in the box, saying that it was to be carried over. When she appeared on the scene, Yu Qi also asked Zisu's opinion and asked her if she would like to study in the Red Mansion together? Zisu said categorically: "Don't go!" ”

Yu Qi was no longer invited, and appeared with Sanxi to Hua Xie, and when she was discharged from the hospital, she sent Sanxi to bring things outside the door of the house and let her wait for her under the locust tree.

Yu Qi's mind was to go and say hello to the old lady.

After watching Sanxi go out, Yu Qi came to live in Shouzhong. Standing at the door outside the Shouzhong Residence Hall, watching the girls go in and out, serving tea and pouring water, I knew that the old lady had woken up, had used morning tea, and was going to do other things. On weekdays, at this time, Yu Qi wants to come for breakfast. Now it's different, the old lady didn't entertain her on weekdays, which shows that the old lady is very attentive to the Buddha.

Seeing the girls coming in and out, Yu Qi grabbed one at random and asked, "The old lady has eaten?" ”

The girl replied: "Eat." Our girl said that the breakfast prepared for the girl would be delivered later. ”

Yu Qi was about to say that he didn't have to wait, when he saw Zhu'er coming out of it, and beckoned the girl and said, "Hurry up, the ash foam of the incense burner has not fallen, and I am getting more and more lazy." Because he saw Yu Qi standing at the door, he changed his smile and said, "Girl is early." ”

Yu Qi replied.

Zhu'er said: "Have you served breakfast to the girl?" ”

Yu Qi said: "No need. The second wife and the second sister said that they would go to study early in the morning, and they should eat it and use it to fold Fanggui. ”

Zhu'er was surprised and said, "Heh, they can listen to it." But it doesn't matter, if someone is in your house, you will take it too! ”

As he spoke, Zhu'er smiled faintly.

Yu Qi said: "The old lady is going to do her homework again?" ”

Zhu'er said: "I did it last night until the next night, and I went again before dawn today." I just rested for a while, and I felt hungry, no, I just finished serving! ”

Yu Qi wanted to say that he wanted to go in and say goodbye, but at this moment, it was hard to say. only said: "Then please tell the old lady that I have been here." Say hello to her. ”

Zhu'er said: "The girl has a heart, and the old lady knows it." ”

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and in the blink of an eye, a girl came running.

Look at that girl, I know that she is from Dongfu.

I saw that the girl was panting constantly, and said, "Sister, the little aunt still can't give birth." The lady said if she wanted to ask the old lady to come and have a look. ”

Zhu'er gave Yu Qi a little look and asked her to wait, only to see her say to the girl: "Confused, the old lady can give birth in the past?" Didn't you ask the midwife to come last night? It is said that he is also a veteran, why can't he take it? ”

The girl said: "I don't know, my aunt said, there is no old lady to take care of her, I am afraid that the master in the stomach will not come out." ”

Zhu'er chirped: "Nonsense! The old lady wants to see the Buddha, and she is not afraid of collision? ”

The girl is in trouble.

Zhu'er thought for half a minute and said, "You go back first, and ask the eldest girl to find a doctor." Besides, go and talk to the second wife. There is a second wife, are you afraid that you won't be able to give birth? The old lady went over, and she only tried to make her old man worry. Go ahead! ”

The girl nodded and hurried away.

After hearing this, Yu Qi said worriedly: "Sister, the aunt of Dongfu is about to give birth?" ”

Zhu'er said: "After you went back last night, Dongfu came to report on the heel, and it was a night of trouble, and it hasn't been born yet." ”

Yu Qi didn't want to inquire about anything more, nodded and saluted, and withdrew from Shouzhongju. Waiting under the locust tree outside the Zhongfu, Sanxi greeted anxiously and said, "See the old lady?" ”

Yu Qi shook his head and said, "I didn't see it." ”

Sanxi said: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Yu Qi said: "It's none of our business. The little aunt of Dongfu is about to give birth. ”

Sanxi was slightly startled, and said as he walked: "Then today, the four girls have to come?" ”

Because the biological mother of the fourth girl, Zhuang Yu, is a little aunt, and her mother wants to give birth, how can she still be in the mood to come to the Red Mansion to study at Fanggui? That's exactly what happened.

Yu Qi shook his head.

At this moment, the master and servant had already entered the Beifu Trail. When I arrived at the gate of Beifu, I saw a group of people standing under the door from a distance, chattering about something.

Sanxi glanced at her girl worriedly and said, "Girl, I don't know what happened. You see. ”

Yu Qi slowed down slightly.
