When he arrived outside the "Qin Garden", where the trees were standing, Huiyuan noticed that there was a house in front of him, so he went to hold Zhuang Qi and signaled. Zhuang Qi realized that he was in a mess and wanted to leave, but suddenly heard Zhuang Hu's voice floating.

Zhuang Qi and Huiyuan hurriedly hid behind the trunk of the tree, and they didn't dare to come out.

How did the two of them know that Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu were here to see Bichi, and at this moment, they were about to leave after the visit, and Bichi was sent out of the door.

Zhuang Hu said: "As I said, although you are walking around in the backyard, go ahead." You don't have to send it, it's hot outside, go back! ”

Bi Chi was obedient, stopped, and said, "Girl, walk slowly." ”

Out of the yard and under the roots of the trees, Zhuang Yu asked Zhuang Hu suspiciously: "Big sister, why don't you just tell her that the big brother is locked up?" A good blow hit her, and she couldn't be better. ”

Zhuang Hu said: "It's not good to surprise her, anyway, the big brother will be released today." I'll go over and tell my big brother the same later. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "I don't know if this method is used at the top." ”

The two walked away while talking, Zhuang Qi dared to come out from behind the tree, and from a distance, seeing the backs of Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu walking away, he suddenly had doubts in his heart.

Huiyuan was afraid of causing trouble, so she reminded: "Girl, let's go too." ”

Yu Qi didn't leave, but had the courage to walk outside the gate of "Qinyuan", slowly walked into the yard, and stopped to look at the yard, which was old. When he was about to turn around and leave, suddenly there was a sound of the piano inside, followed by a low and sad lingering song.

Yu Qi was attracted and stopped.

When I was engaging, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Bichi's voice came from inside the room: "Oops! ”

The girl Dan exclaimed in surprise again: "Mrs., your fingers are bleeding." ”

The sound stopped, Dan Xin ran out of the house, went to the well to fetch water, and was about to bring it back, only to find two people standing in the yard.

Danxin returned a salute to Zhuang Qi and Hui Yuan, took the water in, and then intermittently whispered that the people inside were talking and discussing.

Huiyuan anxiously urged Zhuang Qi to say, "Girl, let's go." ”

Yu Qi understood and walked out, and at this time, Bi Chi opened the curtain and came out. Hearing the sound of the door curtain, Zhuang Qi turned his head to look.

Only then did Zhuang Qi see a flower-like figure coming, it was not Bichi.

Thinking in his heart, this person must be from Zhuangfu, Zhuang Qi leaned down and said a thousand blessings. Bichi also returned the favor. Seeing Bichi's fingers bleeding again, Zhuang Qi took the initiative to step forward and said, "My sister's wound is bleeding, it is appropriate to wash it and apply medicine." ”

Bi Chi felt the pain in his fingers, and said to Dan Xin, who was on the side, "Let's see if there is any medicine." ”

Dan Xin turned and went. Bi Chi hugged and said to Zhuang Qi with gratitude: "I don't know what to call it, Sister Xie cares." ”

Huiyuan smiled: "We are from Xifu." This is Miss Qi. ”

At this time, Dan Xin came out unsuccessfully looking for medicine, and replied: "Look, there is no medicine." ”

Zhuang Qi signaled to Huiyuan and said, "You go back and bring the imperial gold creation ointment." ”

Huiyuan was quite worried and wanted to leave with Zhuang Qi. Zhuang Qi didn't want to go, so he went up the steps. There was no way, so Huiyuan could only turn around and leave to get the medicine.

Zhuang Qi took Bichi's hand and said distressedly: "I'll wrap it for you when you get inside." ”

In this way, Zhuang Qi entered the house, helped Bichi wipe the wound with a handkerchief, and asked Dan Xin to wipe it with clean water. After finishing, Zhuang Qi said: "Only when the blood runs out will there be no bruising, and there will be no wounds when new meat grows later." The blood is left in it, and the lump will not go away in the future, and it will be so dark that a black blood tumor is not good-looking. ”

Bi Chi let Dan have tea in his heart, and said gratefully: "My sister knows a lot." ”

Zhuang Qi smiled: "I'm just getting better." ”

Bi Chi was surprised, looked at Zhuang Qi's place, became more and more detailed, and smiled and said, "Where is my sister injured?" ”

Yu Qi said: "It's no big deal. I accidentally fell and bled from a knock. It's fine when the pain is over. He added: "The song my sister played just now is very good." But Liu Zhi's "Yancheng Shuhuai" in the Yuan Dynasty? ”

Bi Chi was shy and said, "My sister praised it falsely." ”

Yu Qi said: "Yunshan has intentions, Xuanshang has no plan, and the west wind blows off the tears of fame." Come and go, and then don't mention it! Qingshan is drunk as much as possible, and the gains and losses are all physical. Yes, he is in his life; Lost, let's die. Although it is about the man's regret, the woman sings it even more desolately. Looking at the furnishings around, it was appropriate for the situation, thinking that this woman must have been snubbed by the lords in the house, so Huaichun complained about her distress, and then said: "Also, I am happy in my heart, what I sing and play, it doesn't mean that." ”

Bi Chi smiled: "It's just to relieve boredom." ”

Zhuang Qi remembered to ask the other party's name, so he said: "My name is Zhuang Qi, please ask my sister's name." ”

Bi Chi hesitated, remembering that day when she overheard Zhuang Yu making fun of her name, she was stunned for a while, and she didn't dare to speak.

Yu Qi asked again: "Sister......"

Bi Chi slurred, "Uh...... Called the ring ...... Bichi. ”

Yu Qi said strangely: "Huanbi Pond? Is there a surname ring in the world? And he said, "It doesn't matter what your last name is." The name is poetic. The blue waves are rippling, beautiful! Who is not a person in the pool? ”

I want to laugh somewhat, and I often come into contact with radical people in the south, and some of them can speak his Chinese, and there is a Western language in which "Bichi" scolds people. At the moment, she didn't laugh, pretending not to know what it meant.

Bi Chi got Zhuang Qi to agree, and he showed that he liked it very much in his heart, and praised her again and again: "My sister is knowledgeable, just a name." ”

Yu Qi didn't shirk either, and said: "From the feeling, my sister's name is good." Throughout the ages, literati and, which do not pay attention to the word artistic conception. The name of my sister is the most artistic conception. Jade to jade, Yaozhong pool, rich and auspicious. ”

As he spoke, Huiyuan was panting and came with medicine. Taking the medicine in Huiyuan's hand, Zhuang Qi handed it to Bichi.

Zhuang Qi said: "This is the old lady's reward for me, I haven't used it up, you keep it and wipe it, once in the morning and once in the evening." ”

Bi Chi thanked: "Sister Xie." ”

Yu Qi said: "I came in because I was attracted by the sound of your piano." Sister, don't blame. I wanted to say that I didn't want anyone to know that she had been here, but I couldn't say it.

Bichi said: "If my sister likes it, come often." I don't go out either. ”

Yu Qi replied politely: "Okay! Your place is superb, clean. It's just that I'm curious, no one lived here, my sister ......"

Zhuang Qi is just speculating, one is that the Zhuang family knows about it, and the other is that this garden is secluded and old.

Bi Chi hooked his head and didn't answer.

Yu Qi saw that Bi Chi didn't like to talk about these words, so he got up and said goodbye: "I'll be here for a while, and I'll go back." I'll come back another day. ”

Bichi didn't stay, sent out the door, turned around and went into the house, and cried lowly. Zhuang Qi and Huiyuan never heard this, because the two had gone away.

Turning out of "Qinyuan", Zhuang Qi said what he had just doubted to Huiyuan.

Huiyuan only said: "The girls who are close know it, where is the turn of the girls who are not close?" Maybe it's a relative in the house. ”

Zhuang Qi thinks about it, and that's the reason.

Zhuang Qi said: "I don't look like it, if it is a relative in the house, it also has an identity, and there is more than one entourage girl." You see, the land is old, and it is far away, if your relatives come, put it here? ”

Hui Yuan said: "It may be a housekeeper relative." ”

Zhuang Qi smiled and said, "What does this have to do with us." However, this sister is a kind person. ”

Huiyuan said: "I can see that she also likes to talk to girls. Just ......"

Yu Qi stood still, looked at Huiyuan's worried look, and asked, "Just what?" ”

Huiyuan looked around and whispered, "Girl, don't you pay attention, I just came, and I saw the eldest girl and the fifth girl outside the courtyard." ”

Zhuang Qi came to his senses: "Yes! If it is said that it is the person of the big sister's mother-in-law's family, it may not be. ”

Huiyuan bowed her head at the root of Yu Qi's ears and said, "Girl, do you remember the back of the rockery a few days ago?" ”

Yu Qi remembered the scene on the edge of the rockery that day, overhearing Zhuang Hu and Zhuang Yu discussing, and suddenly froze.

Yu Qi looked back at "Qinyuan" again, and felt a lot of pity in his heart, and said to Huiyuan in horror: "Don't talk nonsense......"

Huiyuan nodded, held Zhuang Qi's hand tightly, and the two walked back to Jinghuaxie quickly.

When it came to the mirror, the silence was unusual.

Zhuang Qi and Hui Yuan tiptoed close to the door, saw Zhuang Yu teasing the parrot by the window, Su Yuan sat at the table, holding a ruler to measure the bracelet, and abandoned several sketches on the ground and on the table. Sanxi stood on the side with the tea, staring at Su Yuan to do things. The people inside didn't find Zhuang Qi back.

Zhuang Qi grabbed Huiyuan and signaled to withdraw.

When he went outside, he said, "It's hot, go to Xifu, there is more shade over there." ”

When she arrived in Xifu, Zhuang Qi wondered if she should go to say hello to the county lord, and after hesitating, she saw Cao's girl Guiyuan coming out of the corridor of Xifu Garden, and it was too late for her to hide anymore.

I saw Guiyuan salute Zhuang Qi and said, "Girl." The ladies and girls are inside. ”

Zhuang Qi reluctantly squeezed out a smile to deal with it, and Guiyuan got it.

At this time, if you want to leave, you are afraid of losing your etiquette, so you have to walk towards Xifu Garden. Passing through the path, I saw a heart lake pavilion in the distance, and there was a table of eight immortals in the pavilion, where the eldest wife Qin, the second wife Cao, the third wife, Aunt Xi, Xianfeng, the little aunt and several mothers-in-law and children sat together and chatted. The fourth girl, Zhuang Yu, and the third girl, Zhuang Ying, set up a table in the middle of the corridor to play chess, and the second girl, Zhuang Ying, held a fan and lay on the railing, smiling at the sixth girl, Zhuang Jue, who was stupid and stroking the pole to fish.

In the pavilion, between the concubines, they were chattering.

Qin said: "I heard that the concubine in the palace survived, and the old lady heard that she was busy entering the palace to take a look." I haven't returned at this hour, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother's grace has stayed overnight. ”

Cao said: "It's okay to go and get lucky, come back and sprinkle it on the uncle, maybe it's good." ”

Aunt Yu pushed Cao's down, joked, and didn't say anything.

The county lord said: "The old lady has served the queen mother and the saint, so naturally she can't compare with others." ”

Cao said: "If you want me to say, the old lady has gone to see the concubine in the palace." ”

Aunt Xi echoed: "The palace is a granddaughter and a mother, so naturally I want to see it." ”

The county lord said: "Look at what you said, it seems to be a market in the palace and outside, you can enter if you want, and you can see if you want." Without the summons from the palace, it can't be. ”

Cao said: "Maybe our old lady is different from others. "Caused everyone to laugh for a while.

Cao's words changed, and he mentioned again: "Then again, what's going on in my aunt's house, the old lady can't come to her birthday, and she won't come during the Dragon Boat Festival. ”

Qin said: "It's not like that, as soon as the eldest lord heard me say a word to my aunt, he became angry." Before the old man left, I also mentioned it, and he said that the old man's family had returned to the south. I don't know if Eli Lilly should answer the door, Mrs. Gu didn't do this before. ”

Because the county lord knew what was inside, when he heard this, he only laughed and didn't say anything.

Cao's mouth was unforgiving, and he said: "The small gateway to the capital from the south has narrow knowledge. My aunt has been gone for a long time, and her heart has narrowed. It's a pity that the old lady loves her. If my second and third girls were like her aunt in the future, I would beat them out with a stick and say that they would never come back. ”

These words came to Zhuang Qi in twos and threes, but she didn't make a sound, and her face was a little unbearable. His eyes were red and tears were pouring down. If it weren't for Zhuang Xuan's call, she would have shed tears there.

Zhuang Qian walked over with a fan, grabbed Zhuang Qi's hand, and said, "Sister, what's wrong?" When it came, it was silent. ”

Zhuang Qi blinked, didn't wipe away his tears, and said with a smile: "Watching my sister and sister have fun, I can't bear to disturb." I thought that the sixth sister had caught a fish, but her eyes were staring for a long time, and the insects flew in and didn't know it. ”

The two laughed. Zhuang Ying and Zhuang Yu heard the sound, put down the chess pieces, and surrounded them.

Zhuang Ying said: "How early and late is my sister coming?" ”

Zhuang Qi said: "I just came." ”

Zhuang Yu stood and said to Zhuang Qi shyly: "Does my sister know how to play chess?" ”

How could Zhuang Qi not? When her father was alive, she taught her calligraphy and painting, her mother paid more attention to cultural accomplishment, and her mother taught her two ways of piano and chess. At this moment, he became humble and said, "If you are not proficient, you can move a little simply." Seeing that the fourth sister is calm, she has to teach me in the future, so that I can play with you. ”

Zhuang Qi covered his mouth and smiled, and said, "You sister Qi listens to all directions, looks around, and sees everything. This side said to watch us fish, and the other side said to watch the fourth sister play chess calmly. ”

Zhuang Qi was punctured and blushed.

Zhuang Yu doesn't like to talk much, and when he saw Zhuang Qi's predicament, he said: "You can see and listen to it, and you are close to it." ”

Zhuang Qi said shyly: "It's weirdly hot, come and take a walk, but it's a shame to sweep your interest." ”

The sisters were talking and laughing, and the wives in the pavilion all turned their heads to look.

The county lord said: "The girl is here." ”

Zhuang Qi hurriedly lost his manners, said goodbye to the sisters, and moved to the wives to say hello.

The Cao clan didn't care, and rushed to the Qin clan's side and laughed and said, "Who am I talking about, the disaster star is coming." ”

Qin said: "Leave some virtue, the third wife is here, so unobstructed." It's from the third wife's house. ”。

Aunt Xi added: "The second wife is not wrong, I don't know if the wives heard it, there are rumors outside that our girl is not coming in the right way and is harming ......the Zhuang Mansion."

The corners of Cao's mouth twitched a few times, but he was speechless. When the county lord heard this, his face was a little unbearable, and he coughed a few times, and Aunt Xi stopped laughing.

Zhuang Qi greeted him, and everyone responded politely.

Qin said politely: "It's hot, the girl's body is not all good, isn't it good to be in the house?" ”

Yu Qi said: "It's cooler to walk, and when you see the wives here, go back and forth." ”

Aunt Mi smiled and said to everyone: "Most girls are polite, no wonder the old lady loves her." ”

The county lord said: "Play more with the sisters, it's not good to be bored alone." ”

Zhuang Qi said: "Mrs. Xie cares about reminding. ”

After talking for a while, Cao took the lead to leave, and said, "It's very hot, I'm back." ”

Cao got up, and Aunt Xi also stood up.

Qin Shi stopped: "Just talk for a while, what are you doing so quickly?" ”

Cao said: "On such a hot day, if there is a fire in the backyard, if you don't go back to take a look, you don't know if you burn your body." Doesn't my wife also want to go back and see my uncle? ”

The Qin family seemed to have been poked by something, the corners of his mouth couldn't move, and he glanced at the county lord in a daze, and the county lord lowered his eyebrows, pretending not to hear.

Cao walked to the cloister and said to Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying: "The second girl and the third girl also went back to change their clothes, and they were as dirty as the girls in the small portal." ”

Zhuang Qi and Zhuang Ying heard Cao's words, came over and bowed to the wives, and followed Cao's away.

At the end of Zhuang Ying, she took Zhuang Qi's hand and said goodbye: "My sister will also come to our Beifu for a walk, you don't come to our side." ”

Zhuang Qi knew that he was not welcomed, and after all, he couldn't figure out where to offend the Cao family, so he thought in his heart that he would stay and do things, and he couldn't break his feet for these family things, so he tried every possible way to get close to the Cao family.

Although Cao and Aunt Xi had left, Zhuang Qi still returned the salute to them.

Qin felt bored, and said to the county lord: "This second wife is very boring! I'm gone too. He picked up a paper bag from the table and said, "Mrs. Xie San, we have to be grateful to you in this life, and we have to be grateful to you in the next life." ”

The county lord said politely: "Mrs. doesn't have to be so polite in return, the family is flesh and blood, and then you will see the outside." ”

Qin Shi gave her little aunt in the house a look, and the two of them stood up together and left. When he walked up to Zhuang Yu, Qin said: "The fourth girl has nothing to do, stay with the third wife, Aunt Feng and Aunt Yi talk to Miss Qi." ”

Zhuang Yu responded.

Everyone walked away, Fengxian and Aunt Yi took Zhuang Qi's hand and let them sit, but Zhuang Qi didn't dare.

The county lord gestured again: "Sit down." ”

Yu Qi sat down in embarrassment.

The aunt said: "The girl is still used to it these days? There were many people in the day, and I didn't ask. ”

Zhuang Qi said gratefully: "Aunt Xie, get used to it." ”

Aunt Yu said: "Don't treat this place as something else, the third wife always mentions you, just like the five girls in the house, you are all the meat of her heart." After saying this, he turned to Fengxian to take a look, Fengxian is the biological mother of the fifth girl, Zhuang Yu, and is the county lord and Zhuang Qinfang.

The county lord smiled: "The old lady loves you, and you should also take a look at the old lady." ”

Yu Qi replied, "Go." ”

The county lord knew the details, pretended not to know and asked about the others, and said lightly: "After entering the mansion for so many days, do you miss your former home?" ”

Zhuang Qi lowered his head and burst into tears.

The county lord said again: "There are many people in the house, and there are more sisters in everything." I know you're a good boy, and you know how to do that. ”

Zhuang Qi's nose was sour, and he almost wanted to cry, but he couldn't help it, put away his tears and said, "Mrs., don't the eldest wife and the second wife like me very much?" ”

The county lord glanced at Zhuang Yu next to him and said with a smile: "Where is it." The wives have something to do, how can they say that they don't like you? It's hearty. ”

Zhuang Qi felt speechless, turned his head to look at Zhuang Yu, and smiled, that Zhuang Yu was the daughter of Dongfu, and this should not be asked in front of her.

The county lord said again: "You can eat here in the evening!" The four girls are also together. ”

Zhuang Yu replied nonoristically: "Madam, I'll go back to eat." ”

The county lord said: "Then I won't keep you." ”

Zhuang Yu seemed to understand what he meant, blushed, bowed on his knees, and said, "Then I'll go back first." ”

The county lord didn't look at her, but said, "Go!" ”

When Zhuang Yu was leaving, he said to Yu Qi: "Thank you, sister, for the handkerchief." ”

Yu Qi said: "If my sister likes it, I still have it." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "I also embroidered one, and I will ask my sister for advice and advice another day." ”

After Zhuang Yu left, Aunt Yu led Zhuang Ying back to Nanfu.

For the rest, the county lord and the phoenix were beside him.

The county lord looked at the lotus flowers outside the pavilion, and said to himself: "There are many rules in the house, there are many people, and the mouth is also mixed. There are some words that you listen to, and those who don't listen don't have to go to your heart. ”

Yu Qi knew that this was for her to hear, even if the county lord didn't look at her.

The county lord said: "Now the mansion is not as good as the old lady in charge of the house. Do you know what I mean? He turned his head to look at Zhuang Qi, showing a slightly moved expression, and said quite seriously: "Don't worry, you will understand later." ”

sat down, and it was nearly evening, and Zhuang Qi didn't return to the mirror. Naturally, Zhuang Qi didn't understand that the Qin family and the Cao family still had some words outside, if it wasn't for the county lord to keep her, she would definitely hear them talking about something.
