Rain turns sunny.

In the courtyard, small puddles of rainwater accumulate here and there on the ground, reflecting the orange and red fiery clouds in the sky.

Look down from above.

This open space made up of puddles of water is like a piece of sky, like a mirror.

There is a beauty of silence.

This scene was quickly broken.

A puddle of water that reflects the burning clouds in the sky, splashing in all directions, is the same in another.

The puddles in the open space of the courtyard were broken and splashed one after another.

The pace is extremely fast.

On closer inspection, they turned out to be being crushed by two slender, fair-skinned bare feet.

The muddy water mixed with sand and gravel inevitably splashed on, and the hem of the skirt was being pulled up by two bare fingers above the bare feet.

There was a peach-colored shadow running in the courtyard with many puddles.

Breaking the tranquility.

"Miss, you're... Why, why did you come barefoot? Be careful not to catch a cold......"

Caishou, who was gossiping and chatting with other maids in the yard, looked back stunned.

Her little face was full of surprise, looking at the pretty little girl in the pink skirt in front of her who was panting and bending over to pant.

However, it was a palm that was eagerly popped out of the ribbon, and the forearm trembled in front of her eyes.

"Bring it!" The tone was indescribable, with a little tremolo.

I don't know if it's because I just ran all the way downstairs from upstairs, and I grabbed the hem of my skirt and ran barefoot into the yard with some intense and laborious work.

Caishou and the maid of Mei Yingzhai behind him were surprised to see that the fair face of the young lady who had always been cold and elegant was a little bloody, and the color of the wet pink skirt cloth was similar, which coupled with a few strands of black hair scattered next to the nose, added a bit of beautiful charm.

It's been a long time since I've seen my own lady in such a hurry.

In other words, is this really the young lady who was still reading elegantly and indifferently under the eaves just now? Isn't it going to be dropped?

Caishou and the maid of Mei Yingzhai behind him looked at each other, and some maids couldn't help rubbing their eyes with their fingers, mistakenly thinking that they were dazzled.

"What... What to take? Caishou's little face was puzzled.

Su Bao'er didn't pay attention to the frequent sideways glances of the maids around her, and the pair of bright starry eyes under her beautiful thin eyebrows stared at the little maid with a bun face without blinking.

"Gifts, his gifts, were you picked up, I searched for a long time, but I didn't find it, where did you put it? It's clearly written on the fold! ”

opened her mouth and crackled a lot of words, she asked quickly, and Caishou and the maids behind her were stunned.

Caishou suddenly shrank her head, as if she was reacting to something.

She quietly looked at her companions on the left and right, and stopped talking, "Miss, there are many people......

"Bring it!" The palm stretched out in front of the colorful ribbon was not returned at all, and it fell on deaf ears.

Caishou glanced at the young lady's serious face, and the little hand behind her back twisted out a round fan, and stuffed it into Su Bao'er's hand timidly.

I saw that this fan was painted with a cool spring picture of the court ladies.

The originally confused little eyes of Mei Yingzhai and the maids immediately turned into strange eyes.

"Also, miss, the slave knows next time, I won't take you......" Caishou whispered.

"......" Su Bao'er.

She took a deep breath, stuffed the fan that seemed to be a spring palace picture back into the palm of her hand, bypassed the little girl's body as if she was standing up, and snatched a narrow wooden box from the small hand behind her back.

Su Bao'er opened the wooden box in public, glanced down, her palm paused for a moment, and then she took out a roll of mulberry paper and handed it back.

The fair-skinned ankles were stained with muddy water, and they didn't care at all.

The pink shadow came and went in a hurry.

Caishou was stunned, stood in place for a while, turned her face and sent the maids away, she was a little stunned and chased after the fan and the empty wooden box.

"Miss, be careful of catching a cold......

Caishou followed the back of the young lady all the way back to the study on the third floor of Meiyingzhai.

Along the way, her eyes were confused, and she had never seen her own young lady so out of shape when she had been following her for the longest time.

It stands to reason that this situation will only occur in dreams.

As soon as Caishou entered the study, she saw that many lone books had fallen at the foot of the bookshelf, and there were many precious ink treasures and gold and jade bookmarks that the young lady had liked before, lying quietly on the soft carpet......

The neat bookshelves and attics that she had arranged not long ago were all messed up, like a thief.

However, in the chaotic house at this moment, there was only a peach-colored shadow standing quietly, and the shadow seemed to be indifferent to the messy and chaotic scenes on the ground around her, and turned a blind eye.

"Miss, this is ......"

Caishou snorted and whispered to his own young lady.

Su Bao'er stood in the center of the study and ignored it.

The entire study is full of priceless gold and stone solitary books and precious ink treasures, but her eyes are only attracted by one thing at this moment.

A mediocre piece of mulberry paper.

On the spread paper was the handwriting of a young county magistrate.

"When you return, will the countryside be ruined?

"Both self-conscious and self-serving, melancholy and sad?

"Realize that the past is not admonished, and those who know the future can be traced...... It's not far away, I feel that today is and yesterday is not ......"

In the open space in the center of the house, Su Bao'er was alone, and the afterglow of dusk outside the window shone obliquely into the room, stretching her low-headed shadow with her hands spread out on the paper for a long time.

It seemed to be windy, the shadows swayed slightly, and there was a slight murmur wafting:

"This is a return to the past...... It's Tao Yuanming's return...... Isn't it lost for a hundred years, how can he have ...... Also gave it to me... As a birthday gift...... Wait, that proverb! ”

Su Bao'er lowered her head and muttered to herself, her body suddenly froze.

"The hidden dragon is in the abyss...... Rising from the moon...... He was an official in this county and resigned...... Write the resignation of the official retirement...... The bright moon will be given to me......

"Write the resignation of the official retirement? Write the resignation of the official retirement! That's right, it's written! It doesn't have to be done by him, but it can also be written out of Tao Yuanming's resignation and then transferred on his behalf! ”

Su Bao'er's originally stiff body suddenly spun lightly and violently in place for a circle and a half, and this momentary sudden stop and turn made others worry about whether it would flash to the waist.

It's just that this little girl with plum blossom makeup has obviously learned to dance, and is even very proficient, and Yingying's waist is extremely flexible.

Inside the house, Su Bao'er's pink skirt was flying wantonly, and the position after she stopped was facing the colorful ribbon at the door.

"Yes, all right."

Su Bao'er's apricot eyes widened, as if she was staring at the colorful ribbon, and suddenly realized, her pink lips murmured:

"Now it's just ...... Only Mingyue didn't give me a gift, and besides, he will resign in the future, but why did he resign?

"Ouyang Lianghan, you, you are the noble person I am destined to meet, and you want to share hardships and ...... People who are rich and noble. ”

Su Bao'er bit her lip and stared at the resignation on the paper, and raised her hand to knead her slightly hot and flushed right cheek.

Thinking day and night, looking for a long time.

The crowd looked for him thousands of times, and suddenly looked back, but the person suddenly realized in the dim light, which made Su Bao'er, who had always been calm, still a little dizzy in his thoughts.

It's no wonder that she's not calm enough, this kind of experience like fate and fate is coming, and it is extremely difficult for anyone to restrain their impulsive emotions.

Not to mention, smart is smart, Su Bao'er is only a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl after all......

"Is it common in adversity and prosperity, and what is the meaning of sharing in adversity and prosperity......

"Wait, there's Mingyue...... Moon...... How can this be explained? Ouyang Lianghan, can't you pick a round of the bright moon in the sky and give it to me......"

Su Bao'er wandered in place, and the mulberry paper with Ouyang Rong's handwriting was subconsciously pressed in front of her chest by this pretty little girl, and the goose egg powder face that had not lost much flush was slightly frowned, as if she was happy and worried.

"Miss, what's right, what noble?"

Caishou entered the room and asked curiously while picking up the lone book on the ground.

Just now, my own lady was nervously pacing and muttering for a while.

Except for the first few words, she pricked up her ears and heard it a little more clearly, and the murmur behind her, Caishou only heard some words intermittently.

It aroused the curiosity of the girl like a cat more and more.

Su Bao'er glared at the little maid with a bun face.

"Nothing...... You girl almost ruined my big thing just now, what are you taking indiscriminately? ”

Caishou shrunk his shoulders, but he still pouted and argued:

"Didn't Miss ask me to take two...... Hmm, miss, do you mean that this birthday gift given to you by Ouyang Gongzi is very important to you? ”

Su Bao'er didn't bother to pay attention to her, pursed her lips and said nothing.

"Where's the bright moon......"

She stopped wandering to herself, stepped forward, looked down and carefully read the gift twice, and then turned around and rummaged through the pile of gifts for her birthday.

After a while, Su Bao'er found a few huge pearls and gems in several exquisite and luxurious gift boxes, and also found a pair of famous calligraphy and paintings with a lot of stamps painted with the bright moon on the sea.

However, she threw it on the carpet casually.

He didn't send it.

Su Bao'er only felt tasteless.

"You only gave me a copy of "Words for Returning", and didn't give me anything else, is it to give me a separate gift?"

In the messy study, there are girls who still don't give up and bury their heads in searching.

"Hmm, miss, don't throw it away, what are you looking for?"

Caishou followed behind Su Bao'er's buttocks, the latter threw something, she picked it up and wiped it, cleaned up something, and the old wronged maid.

Su Bao'er didn't answer, stepping on the soft carpet with her bare feet, and her wet skirt dragged the floor.

seemed to be in a daze, and she was muttering to herself in her heart: "People who share hardships and prosperity together...... What is the sharing of hardship and prosperity...... Corporal Lixian, allow him to be a high-ranking official, and give him glory and wealth? ”

At this moment, Su Bao'er passed by an inconspicuous paper basket by the bookshelf.

"Bang dang", dragging the skirt with an inverted paper basket.

Su Bao'er tilted her head casually, and the afterglow suddenly swept to the paper basket that fell to the ground, and there was a striking red.

A bamboo skewer wrapped in red paper.

It's a marriage sign.

Su Bao'er paused slowly, standing in place, her white cheeks, which had faded from some excitement and flushing, suddenly flushed.

This time...... It's a little different from what seems to be red.
