Spring is the season that women are most looking forward to. Only when spring comes, women have the opportunity to take off their annoying and bloated winter clothes, change into spring clothes, and show off their God-given, charming and graceful figures.

The original function of clothes was just to keep warm from the cold, and when the people's wisdom gradually opened, there was another function to cover their shame.

With the evolution of civilization, clothing and etiquette gradually became a sign that defined people's status.

And for women, the most important change is that clothes have become a medium to attract the opposite sex.

Women are the ones who please themselves, and without the attention of men, I am afraid that any woman will have no intention of putting on makeup, let alone a variety of trendy clothing styles.

Without the attention of men, all the makeup of women is no longer necessary, even if they are unkempt, wrapped in animal skins in winter, naked in spring and summer, no one feels that there is anything wrong.

Therefore, spring is another new life for women, just like a cocoon chrysalis that has been dormant for a winter, and in spring it can break out of the cocoon into a butterfly and wave its beautiful wings freely.

Holding back for a winter, she was confined to the house again in the spring, although her husband was not at home, but Gao Qiuniang's heart also sprouted with all things in spring, she also wanted to let go of herself and show her beautiful figure in the spring.

March is the season of going green, Gao Qiuniang remembered the scene of going green with her father and brother in the Gao family manor at the foot of Zhongnan Mountain when she was a child, the blue sky, the boundless fields, the rape flowers, and the golden yellow of the land. Under the smiling gaze of her father, she and her brother ran wildly on the grass and released paper kites together.

After marrying into the eldest grandson's mansion, there is no such scene, whenever I think of the husband and wife who are thousands of miles apart all the year round, and the Hongshu is sent far away, Gao Qiuniang can't help but have a trace of resentment, and I don't know how much spring I have lived up to with Changsun Sheng?

Guanyin is already full moon, and Gao Qiuniang, who has finished confinement, feels that she has been sloppy and has no human appearance.

Bathing and changing clothes, washing off the grease and dirt, Gao Qiuniang felt relaxed all over her body.

She had had enough of being stuck in the house, and she returned to a new self, Gao Qiuniang wanted to take advantage of the weather to go out for a walk.

Gao Qiuniang glanced at Yuhan, who was doing needlework, and said, "I can also go out for a walk now, you go and invite the lady to come and have a total of where you can play." ”

Yuhan put down the work in her hand and said with a smile: "The master mother can go out and walk around, but it is estimated that she can't follow your temperament, if you want to leave the house, the lady will not agree, I will go and invite her to see what she has to say." ”

After Zhen came, Gao Qiuniang told her what she thought, and sure enough, Yuhan said it.

Zhen did not agree to go out of the house to play, she explained: "My mother has just finished confinement, her body has not fully recovered, and it is windy outside, and if she can't take care of it at all, she may feel a cold." If you have a headache and brain fever, you have to be locked up in the house for a while. It's better to wait for a while, when your body is well, and then go to the temple to offer incense or go to the manor to relax. ”

Gao Qiuniang couldn't refute this reason.

Then Zhen said: "Mother is a woman ordered by the court, and she goes out to enslave and guard a large group. In addition, those who go out with you must also bring maids and servants, dozens of people up and down. Now there are a lot of things in the capital, and those who don't have good intentions will be troublesome if they gossip. ”

This article was also reasoned by her, and Gao Qiuniang had to listen to her dissuasion.

Gao Qiuniang said whimfully: "What are you going to do, Da Lang Niang?" ”

Zhen said: "In a few days, the school hall will be closed, the fourth uncle and Ah Hong don't have to go to school, you might as well call a few daughters-in-law to take the children to the garden to play together, and they will definitely have fun." ”

Maybe this is the best arrangement, Gao Qiuniang nodded in agreement, and said: "Just prepare according to what you said, you and the steward of the inner courtyard will explain it separately in the past few days, and I will see Erlang Niangzi and Sanlang Niangzi to say hello to them in the evening, and the time will be placed on the tenth day of the first month." ”

On the morning of the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, just after breakfast, the children all came to the upper compound, cheering and chatting non-stop.

The children of wealthy families have nurses and maidservants waiting for them. Ten children, each serving with at least three people, adds up to forty. In addition, with Gao Qiuniang and the three ladies waiting, the courtyard is full of people, so it's not lively.

Gao Qiuniang finished cleaning up, went out of the upper room, and led her head out of the back door of the upper courtyard into the garden.

Ding Niangzi hugged Guanyin, followed by two seven or eight years old maids, these two maids were selected by Gao Qiuniang for Guanyin, they looked smart and clever, one is called Fengshu, and the other is called chess.

A group of people along the middle of the garden bluestone paved road, to Chengxin Lake turned right, through Hanmo Zhai, and then through Xiushui Pavilion, Chengxin Lake north is a rockery, right is a bamboo forest.

The north side of the rockery is a square, ten zhang square, this place was originally the place where Changsun Sheng practiced martial arts. When Changsun Sheng is not at home, Chang Wuyi often comes here.

To the north of the martial arts training ground are three tall halls, which are the Perak Hall.

An awning was set up in front of the Perak Hall, and a few cases and couches were placed under the shed, and melons, fruits, and snacks were placed on several cases.

Gao Qiuniang and Zhen sat under the shed, and told the people not to let Xiao Langjun and the girls knock and touch, and let the children play separately.

It was the first time for several children to see Guanyin, and they were very curious, so they came up to see what this little aunt looked like.

Several people surrounded Ding Niangzi, the older ones lowered their heads to take a closer look, and the younger ones got through the cracks and competed to see first.

The eldest grandson gradually picked up the small quilt and looked at it, and saw that Guanyin was sleeping with her eyes closed and her mouth tight, and asked, "Is this the little aunt?" Why is it so small? What should I call her? ”

Na Luo grabbed Bai and said, "Are you stupid? Called Little Auntie. What is the name of the little aunt if she doesn't call the little aunt? ”

The eldest grandson gradually argued: "My aunts are all older than us, how can I call my aunt so young?" ”

Na Luo said: "It's small, that's why it's called little aunt." ”

Na Luo himself couldn't explain why he was called Little Aunt, and everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw the two children arguing.

At this time, the eldest Sun Zhan spoke: "My aunt is going to give out New Year's money, and the eldest aunt and second aunt have sent it. ”

Na Luo sarcastically said: "Are you ashamed? I know that I want to press the New Year's money. Next year, you kowtow to your little aunt, and your little aunt will also give you New Year's money. ”

Eldest Sun Zhan said: "She is so young, how can she be rich?" ”

Na Luo said: "My little aunt has no money, Grandma will give it to her, don't forget to kowtow when the time comes." ”

Eldest Sun Zhan seemed to be confused by money, and said with a straight chest: "As long as you give New Year's money, you will knock." ”

At this time, everyone couldn't help it anymore and burst into laughter.

Seeing that a few little guys were fighting endlessly, Kushi came out to smash the field and said, "Little aunt has seen it all, stop talking about it, let's go play." Don't wake up my little aunt for a while. ”

Hearing Ku's words, the children dispersed and went to play with their own playmates.

The two of them, Changsun Hong and Changsun Wuji, played Go together, and Praruo watched the game from the sidelines.

Nara and Kaba are the same age, and they play a girl's game of kicking shuttlecock.

The eldest grandson Zhan and the eldest grandson gradually played the boys' game and rode horses to fight.

Two men held a bamboo branch in their left hand and rode under their crotch as a war horse, and in their right hand a bamboo stick as a sword. While dragging a bamboo branch to run, hit the opponent with a bamboo stick, and the opponent also blocked with a bamboo stick while running.

The two sides went back and forth to kill each other in the dark, and they were very happy. The two of them ran back and forth on the martial arts training ground for I don't know how many times, and they didn't tell the winner, and they were so tired that they were sweating.

The little fat man, Sun Qing, saw that the two of them were having a good time, and he thought he was a man, so he begged the two brothers to join the battle as well.

Changsun Zhan disdained Changsun Qing's request and said, "No, you are too young, I will cut you off the horse with one sword." ”

Seeing that his son was unwilling to play with the eldest grandson, Ku Shi was afraid that he would be snubbed and make the Helan clan unhappy, so he came out to play a round and said: "Ah Zhan, you are a brother, you should let a brother, the three of you play together." ”

The eldest grandson Zhan said: "As an elder brother, you should let your younger brother, but on the battlefield is a fight of life and death, how can you let it?" ”

When Ku Shi saw that his son recognized the dead reason, he knew that it was not easy to make sense, so he said to the eldest grandson Qing: "Ah Qing, let's not play war with them." Go, I'll lead you and Garo to the meadow to catch butterflies. ”

The eldest grandson Qing was very happy when he heard that he was going to catch butterflies, so he ran to Kushi, grabbed Jia Luo and staggered towards the west side of the rockery.

Kushi said, "Don't rush, slow down. ”

Several handmaidens hurriedly stepped forward to take care of them.

Among the few people seated, Gao Qiuniang was dignified, Zhen was calm, Ku was straightforward, and Helan was arrogant.

Helan thinks that the eldest grandson Wuxian is the son-in-law, and the eldest grandson Qing is the son-in-law-grandson of the son-in-law. So I never looked at the other children in my eyes, and even a little contemptuous.

Now that these lowly breeds are unwilling to play with their sons, Helan is a little indignant in his heart. But because Gao Qiuniang was present, she didn't dare to have a seizure. Seeing that Kushi took the initiative to come out to play the round, he followed her.

Besides, in the past month, there is one thing she has been feeling weak. It's about her carrying the eldest grandson Wuxian behind her back to find Concubine Sun and Concubine Tian.

Originally, Helan wanted the two stable women to do something when Gao Qiuniang was about to give birth, but the eldest lady seemed to be alert, and she actually brought two people and invited Doctor Wu.

How much does the eldest lady and Gao Qiuniang know about the inside story, and the Helan family has no bottom in their hearts. And she is a woman who does not feed in the palm of her hand, and it is not easy to deal with Concubine Sun and Concubine Tian, I am really afraid that one day they will expose this matter, so I am always uneasy in my heart, and my usual arrogance has also been reduced a lot.

The children were playing and making noise, and after a while someone came running over to drink water and eat, and several young women were paying attention to the children, while there was a sentence, not a word of words, and the topic was inseparable from the children.

The two children who were playing chess over there were really like things, one board at a glance, and the situation on both sides entered a stalemate, which was equivalent to hand-to-hand combat. Changsun Hong is recruiting a son, Changsun Wuji has a son, Changsun Hong blocks it, and Changsun Wuji's sunspot always has only one breath left.

Praruo, who was watching chess next to him, looked at his little uncle, and saw the eldest grandson Wuji retreating step by step, and the eldest grandson Hong pressing step by step, Praruo was very anxious, so he wanted to play chess. She thinks that the more children the little uncle plays like this, the greater the loss, so it is better to abandon the child and vote for it.

The eldest grandson Hong was afraid that Praruo's words would ruin his own affairs, so he looked at Praruo and said: "Watching chess is not a true gentleman." ”

If she catches Prajna in one sentence, she can't say more.

The eldest grandson Wuji responded calmly, he had already seen that Bai Zi did not respond to the chess route, so he would breathe a sigh of relief when he went down to the side, so he said: "He can't kill me, and when I breathe a sigh of relief, I will give him a 'double food', kill him and lose his armor." ”

The eldest grandson Hong listened to what the eldest grandson Wuji said, frowned and calculated again, as the little uncle said, he regretted that he was negligent, and he actually fell into the way of the little uncle, and he no longer cared about chasing and intercepting, and hurriedly saved himself.

The eldest grandson Wuji had a smug smile on his face.

Zhen, who was sitting not far away, heard the conversation between the three children, turned his eyes away, and looked at the chessboard, the situation was indeed unfavorable to Changsun Hong, the eldest grandson Wuji, the four-year-old Changsun Hong, saw that he was about to lose, and she couldn't help but secretly praise this uncle for his intelligence.

At noon, the kitchen brought lunch, and everyone used it in the open air, and a few young people were tired of playing, or lying on their mother's lap, or taking a nap by the nurse.

The older children didn't seem to know that they were tired, so they played games such as hide and seek, skipping rope, and eagle catching chickens.

It wasn't until Shen Shi that dozens of people hugged the small ones, pulled the big ones, and made a fuss back to the inner courtyard.
