Chapter 4: Reunion

On the same rainy night, the feast bell stood by the window with Guan Gui, carrying a lantern to see the three or five peach trees outside the window.

In June, the peach trees are full of fruit. Guan Gui smiled and said: "When tomorrow is good, I'll pick a few and come back to eat, I look sweet and sweet, and I don't know if it's sweet or not." ”

Mother Xu glared at her, "You know how to eat!" Don't come and clean up the bed yet! ”

Guan Gui secretly stuck out his tongue and was about to go to the bedside, but he heard the girl whisper a poem: Lanxi has three days of peach blossom rain, and the carp comes to the beach in the middle of the night.

Guan Gui has grown up so big with the girl, and he also knows a few words, and said with a smile: "The fruits are ripe, where there is peach blossom rain, where there is fat carp, the carp is not delicious." ”

The feast bell smiled. She smiled a little faintly depressed, and her two thin eyebrows shrouded the moonlight, so that Guan Gui still stopped and praised under the angry eyes of Mother Xu, "Girl, you are so good, no wonder people say that beauty is more beautiful under the moon." ”

Mother Xu was so angry that she scolded: "No big, no small, no respect, no humility!" Come and make the bed, or watch your head! ”

Guan Gui hurriedly carried his head over, "You cut it, you cut it-"

Mother Xu rolled her eyes, "Roll on." ”

A room full of commotion. The feast bell laughed along, and with a smile he remembered his husband again. She blamed herself.

When the husband taught her the poem "Peach blossom rain in Lanxi for three days, and the carp came to the beach in the middle of the night", he said that he would take her to see the peach blossom rain and catch carp to eat, and she nodded happily.

But when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, Mr. said that he was sick, it was cold outside, and he couldn't go out of the yard, so let her go and see it herself.

Now that I think about it, I should go. Otherwise, before Mr. died, even if he saw the peach blossom rain on the painting, he could be regarded as having seen it.

She closed the window with tears, and didn't dare to show her tears to Mother Xu, otherwise she would be nagged again, so she simply held the candlelight to look at the bookshelves in the house. The shelves were empty, just waiting for her to put her books.

This was specially purchased for her by her aunt. My aunt really understands her. She loves elegant scenery with peach trees outside her window. I like to read, and there are big bookshelves in the house.

Now they're all satisfied.

Guan Gui also felt that Duchess Ning Guo was really good. She touched her hand on the bed, and said happily: "Girl, this quilt is so slippery, so beautiful, it must be very valuable." ”

Mother Xu also touched it, smiled from ear to ear, and said to the feast bell: "I think Mrs. Lai is really good to you." That's what makes everything right. ”

What she was most worried about was that Duchess Ning Guo would not get along well, and Feast Bell would be bullied. Now that I know that I am a very good person, I am finally relieved.

- So she is only worried about the girl's future husband's family. She began to worry again, "Hey, I don't know if I can meet my future uncle." If only we could see each other. ”

Feast Bell was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Aunt will definitely take me to meet her." ”

Although there is a difference between men and women, it doesn't hurt if there are elders.

Mother Xu: "That's good, otherwise I won't feel at ease in my heart." ”

Then he urged: "Hurry up and go to sleep, you have to get up early tomorrow." ”

Guan Gui winked at the feast bell and complained, "She's so long-winded!" ”

Mother Xu glared at her and went back to the room, letting Guan Gui sleep with the feast bell.

When I woke up the next day, the rain had stopped. The rules of the Ningguo Mansion are strict, and they have their own morning and dusk provinces, and they have to go to see the old lady in the morning. So the feast bell followed her aunt and the second young lady, and the five girls to Kangshoutang together.

Ning Guogong and the second young master are going to the court, the third young master is still recuperating, and the fourth young master is going to study, and they are not used.

The feast bell found that the people who came to greet him were all women.

Greetings, the old lady didn't say much, just let them sit down and go back.

The bell of the feast rose again with the crowd and walked out.

The Li family handed her over to the fifth girlβ€”she was going to take care of the affairs of the house with the second young lady. Only then did Feast Bell know that her aunt and the second young lady were very busy. They had to go and lecture the servants, and they had to reconcile the books and pay homage to the other people.

The five girls are used to this. She was a shy woman, and returned to her lodgings with the feast bell. And then they quickly played together - they both loved to read, no matter how many books they said, they could pick up a sentence or two.

The bookish feast bell finally found a girl who likes the same as herself, and she is really grateful. The fifth girl was also very excited by her excitement, and immediately shared her collection of solitary books and miscellaneous books, and generously said that she could borrow her back to read.

Feast Bell was a little ashamed: "My husband also left me books, many of which are unique books, but I can't lend them to you." You can only go inside my house and see it. ”

Guan Gui listened on the side, very anxious - the girl was fine with everything else, but she was stubborn as soon as she arrived at the book. Isn't it offensive to speak like this?

hurriedly added, "Don't be surprised by the fifth girl, my girl's husband has just passed away, and she cherishes these books very much." ”

The fifth girl is also a book lover, and she understands this feeling very well, "Okay, I'll go to your house and look at it, it won't be broken." ”

Feast Bell was ashamed and happy, "The books are all in the cage, I want to put some on the bookshelf today, and when I finish it, I will ask you to pick it up." ”

The fifth girl said: "I'm idle and fine, why don't I go to the whole book with you?" ”

The two of them became one person, rejoicing, kissing honey, and going out hand in hand.

Mother Xu sighed: The friendship of the little girl's family is so fast.

The yards where the two lived were not far apart, but they had to pass through a small garden. At this time, the sun was already shining, and the fifth girl took the feast bell to the water pavilion on the left side of the small garden, "This sun is the most poisonous, don't sunburn your face." ”

They took a detour to the water pavilion, and just a few steps away, the fifth girl stopped with the feast bell, and looked sideways towards the small garden, "It's my third brother." ”

She wondered, "Isn't he sick?" How in the garden. ”

Feast Bell followed her gaze curiously, just in time to see the third cousin standing on the cobblestone path not far away. However, because there are flowers and trees in the middle of the road, you can only see that he has a long posture, a handsome face on the side, fair skin, and a young man's immaturity, but his face is not clear to see.

As if sensing her gaze, he also looked at it from afar.

One of the two stood under the waterside corridor, and the other stood on the path surrounded by flowers across the pool, and they looked at each other like this. Then, Ning Shuo's eyes were fixed on her body and did not move away for a long time.

The fifth girl hurriedly stepped forward to block the feast bell, and the expression of looking at her brother was also a little strange - the third brother knew how to be polite and polite, how could he be so presumptuous when he saw the cousin of the Sheng family for the first time.

Although she had known her cousin for a short time, she loved her very much, and she didn't want her to misunderstand that her family had no rules. Just as he was about to turn around and explain a few words to her, he saw her looking up at the third brother in a daze.

The fifth girl was worried: Isn't my cousin stupid?

The feast bell is not stupid. She just felt ...... I felt that this cousin's eyes were very familiar.

As for why it was familiar, she racked her brains but couldn't remember.

I can only salute first, bow my head, and bend down, "Cousin is fine." ”
