Chapter XXXVII
Mama Qi asked in disbelief, "Girl, do you really know, aren't you kidding?" ”
"I'm not kidding, but you sit here for a while, have some tea, and I'll send you there later." Zhao Wangshu did not directly say the address, but planned to wait for Zhao Jiahua to come and ask her what she meant.
If Zhao Jiahua is unwilling to take them back, she will take in the pair of master and servant, anyway, the store needs people.
Mama Qi hurriedly saluted and said, "Thank you, girl, thank you." ”
The girl smiled too, "Thank you." ”
"Hostess, serve them a pot of hot tea and two plates of snacks."
"Okay, okay."
After a while, Zhao Yuzhen came with Zhao Yuying and Zhao Yuxiu, and the last one to arrive was Zhao Jiahua, who was visibly happy.
"Sister Hua, is this picking up gold?" Zhao Wangshu asked with a playful smile.
"I didn't pick up gold, but I was happier than picking up gold." Zhao Jiahua held his face with both hands and giggled.
Zhao Wangshu asked curiously, "What's the matter?" Can you tell us? ”
"Hee-hee-hee." Zhao Jiahua laughed wildly, but obviously didn't plan to share, Zhao Wangshu didn't ask again.
Zhao Wangshu pulled her to the side and told her the identity of the pair of master and servant.
"Sister Shu, thank you for keeping them, I'll take them back first." Zhao Jiahua went over to explain his identity to the pair of master and servant.
When I returned to the mansion, I went to see Mrs. Zhao first, and after listening to her lecture, I went back to the courtyard to rest.
In the evening, the girls were going to go to the room to accompany Mrs. Zhao to dinner, but when they didn't see Zhao Jiahua, Zhao Wangshu said, "Go and call Miss Hua." ”
"Miss Hua hasn't come back yet." The servant girl replied.
The next day, when they were practicing, Mrs. Zhao came in with Zhao Jiahua and the girl she had seen yesterday.
"Sir, this is a relative's child, and I will follow the girls in class in the future." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile.
"Go and sit down in the empty seat over there." Mr. refers to the position left behind after Zhao Yuzhen left.
During the break, Zhao Jiahua introduced to everyone, "This is my cousin Liu Shuqing, oops, Sister Qing, my cousin's name is similar to you." ”
Zhao Shuqing smiled, "Cousin Liu is good." ”
"Hello." Liu Shuqing whispered.
After figuring out Zhao Wangshu's identity, Liu Shuqing said solemnly: "Sister Shu, thank you for your help yesterday." ”
"Don't care." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.
With Liu Shuqing, it doesn't have much impact on life, she relies on Zhao Jiahua very much, and everything else is fine.
In a blink of an eye, on the third day of the third month of March, Zhao Wangshu went out to go to Yao Shanyu's appointment, and she had just left.
Mrs. Zhao said to the other girls: "Today is Daughter's Day, you all go out to play, don't be stuck at home all day." ”
She asked the girls to follow Zhao Wangshu and go to the Spring Fun Garden.
In Daliang, both the Shangsi Festival and the Qixi Festival are Daughter's Day, and both pray to the gods to bless them with intelligence, dexterity, marriage, and happiness.
The difference is the god of the sacrifice, the place of the sacrifice, the method of the sacrifice, and so on.
The most important thing is that the Tanabata Festival is a gathering of women, while the Shangsi Festival is a gathering of men and women, so the Shangsi Festival is also a different kind of Valentine's Day.
"The Book of Poetry, Zheng Feng, Qin Wei" Zeng Yun: "Qin and Wei, see it clearly." Scholars and women, Yin Qiying. The woman said, 'Guanhu?' The priest said, 'Yes. 'And looking?' Outside of Wei, Xun is happy and happy. Weishi and the woman, Yi Qi will sneer and give them a spoonful of medicine. ”
Spring Joy Garden is in the east of the city, divided into two courtyards, and the east courtyard is divided into ten small courtyards for visitors to rest and eat.
The west courtyard is centered on the lotus pond, surrounded by rockeries, pavilions, water pavilions, flowers and trees, and three curved canals have also been built.
One meanders along the pink wall, one winds through the peach forest, and one surrounds the statue of the Flying Goddess.
Yao Shanyu's yard is called Hefeng Courtyard, and when Zhao Wangshu arrived, in addition to the Yao brothers and sisters who were the masters, Chen Xiao, Gao Zhi, Lin Qianyi, and a strange boy.
"This is Miss Zhao, this is Qianyi's cousin Sun Li." Yao Shanyu only said Zhao Wangshu's surname, and as for Lin Qianyi telling him Zhao Wangshu's name afterwards, that was another matter.
"Hello Miss Zhao." Sun Li's eyes were full of amazement, he thought that his cousin was beautiful enough, but he didn't expect this Zhao girl to be more beautiful, and her temperament was also dusty, like a fairy descending to earth.
It's a pity that he is too young, otherwise, he would have begged his mother to come to the door for him.
"Hello Sun Gongzi." Zhao Wangshu bowed slightly and returned the salute, and walked to Yao Shanyu and sat down.
After a while, Qin Youzi, who was dressed up, came, and then Lu Wenqiu and Fang Jingshu came together.
When Zhu Siyun finally arrived, she saw that Zhao Wangshu was also there, and a contemptuous smile was hooked on the corner of her mouth, and she knew that she would not let go of the opportunity to cling to the powerful, even if she was kind enough to persuade her, she would not listen.
"Okay, the people are here, let's go to the waterside to worship Gao Mou first." Yao Shanyu said.
The god of Gaomou is in charge of marriage and childbearing, unmarried men and women, sacrificing Gaomou and praying for a good family, and married sacrificing Gaomou only to ask for children.
An open area by the water's edge has been set up with incense tables for livestock, dried meat, pastries, and other items.
The subordinate handed over the lighted incense to the people, held the lit incense in his hand, and bowed to the three times.
"Licheng!" Yao Zhen said loudly.
Everyone responded in unison: "Licheng!" ”
Just when Zhao Wangshu went to the peach forest after following Yao Shan's sacrifice, the other girls of the Zhao family arrived at the Spring Joy Garden, and Mrs. Zhao did not book a yard for them, so they could only go to the West Garden to play.
Zhao Shuqing had a plan, quietly fell last, and ran to ask the steward of Chunxiao Garden, "Which yard is the county lord of Yixing in?" ”
The steward looked her up and down, "You are not a guest invited by the county lord, and you can't go to the county lord's courtyard." ”
Zhao Shuqing couldn't help but be timid after hearing this, she was not a person who was good at lying, and she had the courage to come and ask questions.
As soon as the steward said this, she immediately lost confidence, although she really wanted to see Chen Xiao, but she didn't dare to say more.
She hurriedly walked to chase the sister in front of her, not noticing the strange eyes of the maidservants next to her.
When she caught up with her sisters, she heard Zhao Yuxiu say: "Let's go to the peach blossom forest, the peach blossoms will bloom and fall into flowers, it must be very beautiful." ”
"Let's go to the Peach Blossom Forest first, and then go to see the Flying Goddess." Zhao Yuyan, as the biggest girl present, took the idea.
Zhao Shuqing's mood was like a hazy sky, and she had completely lost her interest in playing, and followed behind everyone dejectedly, until she heard Zhao Yuying shouting: "Sister Shu." Then he suddenly looked up.
Through the crowd, she saw the man who made her think about it, he was wearing a blue dark brocade robe, a jade belt around his waist, and his posture was long, straight as a pine.
The peach forest behind him is like a character in a painting. Zhao Shuqing's dim eyes instantly brightened, and his heart was filled with incomparable satisfaction and joy.
"Chen Gongzi, I finally saw you." She muttered so quietly that even those closest to her could hear her.
