Red Mansion Huacai

Chapter 302 Pink Girl
After listening to Sister Feng's words, all the golden hairpins laughed, and Xiangyun said: "Although this sentence is rough, but the bottom is not visible, this is exactly the way to write poetry. Not only is it good, but it also leaves a lot of ground for future generations." This is the first sentence, let’s write it down so we can continue it later.”

Pian Baochai said at this time: "Girl Yun is so happy. We can go there in a while, but you're afraid you won't be able to go."

Xiangyun blinked, suddenly enlightened, and immediately pursed his lips. Now that I'm in my boudoir, it's hard to go to my husband's house, so why don't I just go?
Seeing the gloomy look on Xiangyun's face, the third girl Tanchun said: "We can be guests now, but in the future, Girl Yun will always live next door. What does it matter if we miss her once or twice?"

Xiangyun immediately blushed when he was teased, and he and Tanchun had a lot of trouble before giving up.

There was a lot of noise, and when Sister Feng saw that she was sleepy, Daiyu smiled and said, "Sister Feng is burning up right now, and she is most afraid of noise. I think we should break up."

At that moment, all the gold hairpins came out of Sister Feng's Children's Courtyard and entered the Grand View Garden to dress up. Since the second girl was still in the east courtyard during the Spring Festival, Tanchun and Xing Xiuyan walked together.

Tanchun was thoughtful and took a sneak peek, and saw that Xing Xiuyan had changed into a silver rat skin cloak, but there were no other embellishments on her body. After crossing the Fengyao Bridge, I asked him, "Sister Xing, do you still need to change clothes after the party?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and shook his head.

Tanchun said, "How about coming to my Qiu Shuang Zhai? I'm worried about what to wear tomorrow."

"Okay." Xing Xiuyan agreed and followed Tanchun to Qiushuangzhai.

Baochai said: "I'm going to my mother's house. You go back and ask the girl to bring the pawn ticket. I'll take it out quietly and give it to you quietly at night. It's better to wear it sooner or later, otherwise the fan will cause a big problem. But I don't know. Where is it?"

"Shut up!"

Zhuan'er said worriedly: "Usually, when Sister Siqi is around, she would say harsh words, but she never cares about what the girl uses. Now that Sister Siqi has left, all those maids and mothers-in-law have become debt collectors." After a pause, he then said: "Sister, Uncle Li owes us a favor. Why doesn't sister go and beg Uncle Li?"

When Sister Feng was in charge of the house, since she was not short of money and did not need to put money outside, she always put it out at the beginning of the month. When Mrs. Wang was in charge of the house, the money was put out for other purposes, sometimes until the middle of the month, sometimes until the end of the month. By the end of the month.

Xiuyan smiled and said, "Since sister said so, I'll just go back and pick them."

Zhuan'er refused to give up and pulled Xing Xiuyan to the bedside and said, "No, I see Uncle Li is very serious when he speaks. If you ask me, my sister should be in constant contact with Uncle Li. It's not good to visit him every time." As soon as he came, his sister hid behind him. It was clear that he owed her something, so why did it look like her sister owed him something?
I think that Uncle Li is also a womanizer. Yesterday I saw that Xiangling and Qingwen before were all of first-class color. Maybe Uncle Li will——"

Seeing Xing Xiuyan come back and Liang'er get up to do some work, Zhuan'er pulled Xing Xiuyan and said, "Sister, just now that naughty old lady was going to say weird things again, and inside and out she asked the girl to buy wine and meat!"

The elder sister thought that the second elder sister was also an honest person and didn't pay much attention. Even though she didn't say anything when I gave her something, which one of her mothers and girls was easy to do, and which one was not sharp-tongued?
Although I was in that room, I didn't dare to do anything to them. After three or five days, I had to spend some money to buy them drinks and snacks. Therefore, two taels of silver in January were not enough, and now another one tael was lost. A while ago, I quietly pawned my cotton clothes for a few ounces of money. "

Xing Xiuyan said: "Although I am poor, I don't cling to power. When your upper lip touches your lower lip, you call me a snobbery."

Baochai took a quick look and saw that although Xing Xiuyan was wearing a coat on the outside, it was just a jacket on the inside, so he frowned and asked, "It's getting colder today, why are you still wearing a jacket?"

Zhuan'er didn't ask why and just answered in a muffled voice. He immediately picked up a box of cakes, hid the pawn tickets, and then got up and left Zhujin Tower.

Xiuyan hurriedly agreed and then asked, "Where is sister going at this time?"

Baochai nodded and smiled: "She sees that everyone has one, but you are the only one who doesn't. She is afraid that people will laugh at her, so she gives you one. This is her cleverness and meticulousness. But there is one more thing you should know: these decorations are from the original As a young lady from a high-ranking official and wealthy family, do you think I have such gorgeous makeup from head to toe? However, seven or eight years ago, I was also like this, but now I can't compare to it, so I should save myself. Don’t worry. We can’t compare with them now. We have to stick to reality and not compare with them.”

Xing Xiuyan said seriously: "It's just a little food, how can it be considered a favor? And I also exchanged it with things before. Uncle Li just said it casually, but you took it seriously."

When the cold wind blew outside, Zhuan'er couldn't help but shiver. Seeing that most of the maids coming and going were wearing pearl wool (lamb skin), some of the older maids were wearing rat skin, and she was the only one wearing a cotton coat, Zhuan'er couldn't help but feel angry. I couldn't help but secretly think to myself, my sister wants to lose face and doesn't want to go to Uncle Li, and a little girl like me has no face, so she might as well go and beg Uncle Li, maybe she'll have a good life in the future?
But Baochai came to the small courtyard from the northeast. When he entered, he saw Aunt Xue frowning and distressed.

How could Xing Xiuyan not know that Tanchun was taking the opportunity to give her a cosmetic item? She felt grateful in her heart, and after a quick scan, she saw that there were only a few pastries left in the pastry box.

When Xiuyan entered the Zhujin Tower, she saw the little maids Zhuan'er and Liang'er looking sad and worried together. Zhuan'er came from Suzhou with Xing Xiuyan, but Liang'er was sent by Jia Mu when she saw that she only had a maidservant.

After asking, I found out that the young couple had a big quarrel again because of Xue Pan's business affairs. Aunt Xue wandered around and talked for a long time before trying to persuade her to stop.

Xiuyan's face turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head and agreed. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly. At this time, marriage was about being from the same family. Her family was just a small family, so where could she find a suitable marriage partner?
I couldn't help but think of Li Weijian, who lived next to me in Suzhou, and then shook my head secretly. Nowadays, people are regarded as first-class uncles, and it is not good for the daughters of powerful people to be concubines for others. How can I, a small and humble family like myself, get up? I'm afraid everything that happened that day was just teasing, right?
Baochai then pointed to a jade pendant on her skirt and asked, "Who gave this to you?"

Zhuan'er suddenly had a smug expression on his face and pursed his lips as he said, "If you don't want to say it, don't say it."

As expected, Tanchun chose a few clothes and asked Xing Xiuyan to help her choose. This jade pendant matches your clothes perfectly, I think it’s better to give it to you.”

Xiuyan came to her senses and said hurriedly: "This is from the third sister."

Xing Xiuyan quickly stood up and refused, and Tanchun said: "It's not a good thing, so why should Sister Xing refuse?"

Xing Xiuyan smiled and said: "I made some plum blossom cakes and crabapple cakes in private, and I will send them to my third sister later for her to try."

The two met halfway and crossed the Fengyao Bridge together and stopped to talk.

After saying that, Tanchun tied it up again, pulled it to the mirror and said, "Look, it looks better now."

Xing Xiuyan gritted his teeth and said, "Just go to the street and buy some later. I don't need Second Sister's."

Baochai smiled and said, "What a coincidence!" He couldn't help but secretly think to himself that Xing Xiuyan had a gentle and steady temperament, knew how to deal with the world, and was calm and natural. It's a pity that his family background was a bit humble, and his brother Xue Pan had married Xia Jingui early, otherwise he would have been A good sister-in-law. Then I thought about it, now that Xue Biao has become an official along with Jian's fourth brother, there is no doubt that he will have a bright future in the future.

Xing Xiuyan sighed and said, "Is there anything else to say?"

Moreover, he almost fell out with his mother last time, so why not bring the two of them together, firstly as a favor, and secondly as a way to relax with the second wife?
Thinking about this, Baochai became more and more convinced that this was a great idea.

When Xiuyan heard about it, she knew that it was her family's capital. She blushed, smiled, and then they walked away.

Although she is older than Tanchun, because of her background, all the girls in the garden call her sister.

When Mom and I discuss it again, if someone bullies you, just be patient and don't make yourself sick from the torture. It's better to just give them the one tael of silver tomorrow and rest easy. You don’t have to give those people free food in the future. If they stab them and ask them to stab them, you can’t stand it, so just walk away by yourself. If there's anything wrong, don't be so petty and childish, just come to me. It's just that you're afraid of people gossiping, so just send the little girl to talk to me quietly. "

Zhuan'er shook his head and said, "The mother-in-law only said that the second girl has a lot of makeup and powder, so it's not easy to use too much."

Xiuyan said: "It's called 'Heng Shudian', and it's from Gulou West Street."

After hearing this, Baochai couldn't help but feel pity, and sighed with a frown: "It's not a good idea anyway... According to me, you have reached your age now, so it is better to find a husband as soon as possible.

Xiuyan said: "It's irrelevant. Because my aunt sent me a message saying that I can't use two taels of silver a month. She asked me to save one tael and give it to my parents. What should I use? Anyway, there are things belonging to my second sister that can hold some. I used it as soon as I took it.

Baochai smiled quickly and said, "You've heard too much about it. She gave it to you out of kindness. If you don't admire it, she won't be suspicious. I just mentioned it accidentally. I'll find out later."

When Xiuyan was asked, he lowered his head and did not answer. Baochai knew there was a reason, so he smiled and asked, "Didn't you just let go of last month's money?"

Zhuan'er looks solemn on the face, but disapproving in his heart. Aloof? What's the use of being noble? Don’t you still need firewood, rice, oil and salt to live your life? If you don’t believe me, look at this garden. Without money, who can take a good look at the two masters and servants?
Seeing that Zhuan'er didn't listen, Xing Xiuyan sighed: "Well, that doesn't make sense to you. You can pick up some plum blossom cakes and crabapple cakes later, and give a box to the third sister; then find the pawn tickets and give them to Sister Bao." ”

Tan Chun also smiled and agreed, and the two talked for a while before Xing Xiuyan left. When I came out of Qiushuangzhai, I bumped into Baochai who was going to Aunt Xue.

At this time, Aunt Xue also realized that Xia Jingui, the daughter-in-law here, was not a worry-free person. However, the deal is already done, and now Xia Jingui's dowry has been misappropriated. There is a saying that eating people is short-tongued and being soft-handed, so Aunt Xue can only feel wronged by Xue Pan and always talks in favor of Xia Jingui.

At the moment, Aunt Xue was criticizing her a lot, but Sister Bao just listened quietly and did not make any comments. I couldn't help but secretly think that maybe only a sister-in-law like this could control her brother, otherwise she would have committed some heinous crime outside!
After uncovering this matter, the mother and daughter were planning to pack their bags for Xue Pan. After some calculations, the 14th was a good day. It only lasted two days, and I had to make time to say goodbye to everyone, so it was a bit urgent to pack up.

Halfway through the tidying up, Baochai told Aunt Xue what she thought.

Aunt Xue felt extremely disgusted with the second roommate, and was a little unhappy when she heard this: "The second roommate is living the life of the second roommate, so why should we meddle in others' affairs?"

Sister Bao was tired and couldn't help but persuade her: "Mom, what are you talking about? I can't write two characters of "Xue" in one stroke. My second wife is doing well, and I can support my brother even if I don't have time in the future. I think Brother Tao is already here. He is a seventh-grade governor. How old is he? In a few years, he will have another meritorious service and he will be promoted. "

Aunt Xue was even more disgusted when she heard this. If Xue Biao could become an official, wouldn't he rely on sending Baoqin to Brother Jian to be a child? If she had looked at Brother Jian that day, she would have thought that her Baochai would have become the royal wife... That would be an extraordinary decree! I have visited the four famous families in Jinling several times, and only the old lady and Aunt Wang can compare with them.

If this is indeed the case, it is impossible for my stupid son to be an official!
Now it's too late to say anything——

Baochai thought Aunt Xue was still upset, so she tried to persuade her a few more times, and Aunt Xue sighed, "That's all, what you said makes sense."

Aunt Xue thought that Xing Xiuyan was elegant and steady, and her family was poor. She was a daughter with hairpins and skirts. It's more than enough to match Xue Biao. I guess it's just a mention, but Xue Biao has no objection.

He also thought about the quarrel between his sister, Mrs. Wang, and the old lady, and was afraid that the old lady might not be willing to listen to what Mrs. Wang said. After thinking about it, he said: "I will go find Sister Feng later and ask her what she is thinking."

Sister Bao thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate. For a while, she had no choice but to remain silent. When Baochai returned to Hengwuyuan, Aunt Xue came to Sister Feng's children's courtyard.

When I got inside, I asked Sister Feng about her condition. After sitting down for a long time, I brought up the topic. Sister Feng had been feeling groggy all day, and now she was slightly energetic, but she kept thinking about her madness last night, so how could she be willing to put in the effort for such trivial matters?
He also thought that brothers Xing Xiuyan and Jian were old acquaintances, so it was hard to say that the bison who loved to chew peonies had any covetous intentions. What if she steps in to help bridge the gap and is annoyed by Brother Jian in the future?
So Sister Feng sighed and said, "Auntie knows that our wife is a little left-leaning. Auntie might as well ask Brother Tada about this first, and then we can talk about it."

Aunt Xue heard Sister Feng's excuse and said immediately: "Xiuyan has such a good temperament, what can Xue Biao be dissatisfied about? And this important matter of marriage depends on the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words, he is now If my mother is not here, what if my aunt becomes the master?"

Sister Feng then smiled and said, "It's hard to say. Today is different from the past. Yesterday, I heard from Brother Jian that Brother Tao had made great achievements again, and even Da Situ favored him. Auntie had better ask Brother Tao before talking about it." "

"Is there such a thing?" Aunt Xue was surprised and sour in her heart. She talked to Sister Feng for a while before getting up and returning.

When I got to the small courtyard in the northeast, the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became, so I simply found a boy and sent him to look for Xue Biao to question him tomorrow.

............................................................

Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Near noon, Zicuckoo returned with a frown and a food box.

Xue Yan had just served Dai Yu and dressed up. Dai Yu looked in the mirror, turned around and asked with a smile: "Who offended you again?"

Zijuan didn't say anything, put the food box on the table, took out a bowl of porridge, frowned and said, "Young lady, let's take a look for yourself."

Daiyu glanced at it, and then frowned. Xue Yan on the other side said: "What we sent is a fine Yanzhan, how come it is so messed up when it is made?"

Since Baochai sent the bird's nest last time, Daiyu visited the imperial doctor again. The imperial doctor Wang really agreed with what Baochai said, made some additions and changes, and decided to have bird's nest, white fungus, lily, and japonica rice porridge every noon.

Daiyu ate it for a while and felt her lungs were refreshed, so she had to eat it every day. Because of this, Daiyu slightly changed her mind towards Sister Bao - finally she had no intention of harming her this time.

Seeing that Zicuckoo remained silent, Xue Yan asked again: "Then what did Sister-in-law Liu say? You don't get much money from girls on weekdays? Why bother trying to trick people with bad stuff?"

Zicuckoo said: "There were so many people just now, Sister-in-law Liu couldn't speak well, she just kept winking at me. I came out of the kitchen on the front foot, and Sister-in-law Zhou went on the back foot." Sister-in-law Zhou belongs to Zhou Rui's family, and she belongs to Mrs. Wang. Accompanying room. Normally, this never happened when Sister Feng was the housekeeper, but now that Mrs. Wang was the housekeeper, the situation suddenly changed. You don't know who is causing trouble here.

Xue Yan was very angry when she heard this, and cursed: "I'm afraid that the one who follows the trend of others will harm people without any orders from above. I'll go find her to reason with you!"

Daiyu hurriedly stopped Xueyan and said, "What's the use of saying it? Now that I'm living under someone else's roof, even if I don't have this time, am I still going to have to look at people's looks to live my life?"

It's not just a day or two that Mrs. Wang hates her. Now Daiyu is used to it, but she is very puzzled. She has been far away from Baoyu in the past two years. Why does Mrs. Wang want to target her?

Then I thought about what my father said before he died, and suddenly I felt a little bit confused. I was afraid...it was the money that caused the problem.

Xue Yan was very angry, and Zicuckoo murmured: "I just want to go to the uncle's house in the afternoon. I will take some time to talk to Qingwen and Xiang Ling to see what Fourth Master Jian has in mind."

Daiyu said hurriedly: "It's better not to say anything. There is a wall between him and he can't find the strength even if he wants to. And it's hard for him to stand out if his name is not justified. In this case, it's better not to worry him. "

Zijuan and Xueyan shook their heads together, and the latter said: "It concerns the girl's body, how can I hide something like this? It's hard for a girl to talk, so I'll go find the Fourth Master to talk."

Zicuckoo also sighed and said: "It's a pity that the girl is still young, otherwise in the twelfth lunar month, in addition to the clothes (the previous article is wrong), the first lunar month would be just the right time."

Daiyu smiled and said: "How can anyone be so anxious to get married as soon as they get married? It sounds like I'm afraid that I won't be able to get married."

Although Daiyu didn't seem to care, Zijuan and Xueyan didn't know that the girl was just enjoying herself in misery.

Daiyu spent a little time at noon. After noon, Baochai, Xiuyan, Tanchun, and Xichun came to call her, and Daiyu followed the others to Huifang Garden.

When they arrived at Qinfang Pavilion, they saw Ping'er waiting alone. Baochai asked, and Ping'er smiled and said, "I want the girls to know. The old lady is afraid that the girls will be left unattended. Huizi was ill again, so he had to send me to join in the fun."

When Tanchun heard this, he smiled and said, "Miss Ping'er came just in time. I was worried that my sister-in-law, Xiangyun, and Sister Feng would not be able to go. Without them, there would be less fun. There is no need for Miss Ping to compose a couplet today, but This gag is unavoidable."

Ping'er immediately laughed and said: "Look what the third girl said, I am not as capable as our grandma. I used to pretend to be Maitreya Buddha and never opened my mouth. Everyone who looked at me laughed."

Everyone burst into laughter and immediately headed towards the East Point Gate. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived on the corridor near Huocui Temple, he bumped into Baoyu.

Baoyu and Xiren came quickly and asked with a smile: "What are you going to do?"

When Daiyu saw Baoyu, she hid behind Baochai. Baochai felt strange in her heart, thinking that Daiyu was really avoiding Baoyu. Could it be that she was really destined to Fourth Brother Jian? It doesn't seem right, Xiangyun has already made a small bet, and there are rumors that the two girls may be married to each other. Sister Bao can't think of how Daiyu can marry her.

Then I thought again, could it be that Lin Yansi found another marriage for him before he died? I'm afraid that's the only way Daiyu will adhere to the etiquette of waiting in a boudoir, right?
At this time, I heard Tan Chun say: "Second Brother Bao, there was a message from next door, inviting us to the poetry party."

When Baoyu heard this, he immediately jumped for joy, clapped his hands and jumped and said: "Here, the wind and snow have just passed. I just climbed up and looked far away, and saw that the red plum blossoms in Huifang Garden were also blooming. It was a good time to hold a poetry meeting. Like this How can elegant things be done without me? Just wait for me and I will come after I change my clothes."

As he spoke, he started to leave excitedly. The attacker quickly grabbed his sleeve: "Second Master!"

"What's wrong?" Baoyu asked puzzledly: "I just went shopping with Miaoyu, and these clothes are stained by a lot of snow. Can I change them?"

Xi Xin said, "You were rude to Fu Qiufang before, and then you were scolded by Li Wen and Li Qihao. How can you still have the dignity to go to someone else's home now?" Besides, they didn’t send you an invitation.

Whether it was nice to say this or not, Xiren could only look at Baochai for help.

Baochai wanted to persuade him, but this time Baoyu only cared about being alone with Miaoyu, and went to look for him by himself, only saying a few words every time and avoiding him. Now if I try to persuade him again, I'm afraid it will make Baoyu feel disgusted again. Considering this, Sister Bao did not speak.

She didn't speak, so naturally Daiyu wouldn't speak either. Xing Xiuyan and Baoyu didn't know each other well, and Xichun was still young, so she didn't speak either and froze there for a while, letting Baoyu and Xiren make trouble.

Tan Chun couldn't stand it anymore, so he sighed and said, "Brother Bao, did you get the invitation?"

"What invitation?"

Tanchun said: "It's a post from Aunt Fu."

Baoyu was startled when he heard this, and then he remembered the past. Thinking that Fu Qiufang didn't understand good people, Baoyu suddenly lost interest, frowned and rolled his sleeves and said: "How can she come up with any good poems if she is so clinging to power? Come on, it doesn't matter if you can learn this poem or not!" "

After saying that, he walked away with his hands behind his back. The attacker hurriedly bowed down to a few people and started chasing after them, fearing that this ancestor would cause some trouble again.

Daiyu, Baochai, Xiuyan, Tanchun and Xichun looked at each other and were speechless. Even the youngest Xichun could see that something was wrong with Baoyu. Even though Baoyu is not young now, he doesn't know when he will understand a little bit about the ways of the world.

Daiyu, in particular, looked at Baochai with eyes full of sympathy and a bit of luck. If Li Weijian hadn't appeared and looked at the people around her, I'm afraid only Baoyu would know her thoughts best. However, Baoyu is unreliable. If you really fall in love with this person, you will have to swallow a lot of bitterness and grievances in the future.

Baochai smiled bitterly and said: "Let's hurry up, so as not to waste time." At this time, Baochai was already desperate for Baoyu. She felt that this person could not be supported by mud. If there were other opportunities, why would she bother Guarding this puddle of mud?
The five girls and their maids had just passed the east corner gate when they were greeted by Xiangling. They talked and laughed before heading to a dining hall in the east.

When Tanchun took a look around, he saw red plums scattered everywhere and dotted with white snow. It was indeed extremely quiet. I couldn't help but ask: "Xiang Ling, when will there be an additional dining hall here?"

Xiangling smiled and said: "I started it when I was renovating the house earlier. That place was originally a flower garden. The fourth master saw that it was a bit wasteful, and thought that the women in the family had no place to write or draw, so he simply started a garden. Zhai... Oh, even the fourth master came up with the name himself, and even asked Mr. Yan Ge to inscribe it on the plaque."

Now that they were getting closer, Tanchun looked carefully and saw the three gilded characters "Consciousness Zhai" written on the plaque.

Baochai raised his eyes and looked at it and said, "Consciousness Zhai, what's the reason for this?"

At this time, Li Wen, Li Qi, Bao Qin and Fu Qiufang came to greet them from inside. Fu Qiufang smiled and said: "I want Miss Bao to know that the master said that I will stay here with the sisters to study and paint, but I also want to feel the world." You know, you can’t read and write calligraphy and painting in vain.”

When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but nod her head, "I feel how the world can be known and felt." This was exactly what Daiyu was thinking, and she thought: If the fourth brother Jian didn't have such talent, how could he say such a thing? Words come?

Daiyu was embarrassed to speak, but she still had a smile on her face. Baochai and Xing Xiuyan only gave two compliments, but Tanchun and Xichun praised him without any hesitation.

Especially Xichun, who entered the inner circle and said: "I have been learning to paint these days, but I can't get the right way to paint. Previously, I thought I was just a beginner and didn't have a master to teach me. Now after listening to Jian Si By saying this, I realize that my painting only has its form, but not its spirit."

Baoqin came over and said with a smile: "So, what the fourth brother said can be regarded as a wake-up call for the dreamer?"

Xichun smiled and said, "Isn't that right?" Then he frowned and said, "It's a pity that we don't have enough drawing paper and paint, so we have to ask Sister Feng for it."

Just as Baoqin was about to speak, Baochai said, "What's the point? Feng Yatou is ill now, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for Fourth Sister to ask for it. I seem to have some left over there. I'll clean it up later and send it to you." "

Xichun suddenly became happy: "Sister Bao, it's a deal. If you don't give it to me, you will have to send someone to get it."

At this time, Tanchun pestered Fu Qiufang and said, "Sister Fu, what is the question today and what rhyme is it?"

Fu Qiufang said: "The theme is the four nights of snow, moon, wind and rain, limited to the four rhymes of cold, sky, hero and sound."

Tanchun took a long breath and said, "This is quite broad."

Bao Qin turned around and said with a smile: "You don't know, we discussed it for a long time yesterday before we decided on it. It must be both interesting and out of the ordinary."

After the words fell, Xiang Ling continued with a grimace: "You guys are interesting and unconventional. Unfortunately, I have just started. I spent the whole night thinking about it but I couldn't come up with anything."

Everyone laughed, Tan Chun pulled Xiang Ling and said: "What are you afraid of? I can't do it. Isn't there still a master?"

Daiyu was slightly surprised, but then she also smiled and said: "No, no, it's up to you to lead the master to practice. Xiangling left as a disciple yesterday, so how can you come to me for help again?"

Xiangling suddenly became anxious. She left Tanchun and came over to grab Daiyu and said, "Good girl, if you don't save me, I will show up."

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's all just for fun. Good and bad guys all follow their own minds, so why should you be so timid?"

Xing Xiuyan said from the side: "Don't be afraid of Xiangling. I haven't read much, so I just happen to be here with you."

Xiangling then frowned and came over, pulled Xing Xiuyan and said: "You can see people's hearts in times of crisis. I feel sorry for me. I ran back to Miss Lin every three to five days, but now she has abandoned me."

Everyone laughed again, and then they all sat down around the small red clay stove. Fu Qiufang also had someone give them warmed daughter's red wine, fruits, and pastries. There was laughter and laughter from time to time. After a few glasses of wine, the girls felt less restrained and more carefree than in the past.

Zicuckoo was standing by. Seeing that there was nothing going on here, her mind turned around. She went over and whispered to Daiyu, just saying that she was going to relieve herself. After returning, she walked out of the consciousness room.

Zicuckoo walked south along the corridor, hoping to bump into Qingwen. As a result, after walking for a while, she bumped into Xiu Ying carrying a food box.

The two bumped into each other, Zijuan asked, and Xiu Ying said with a smile: "Fourth Master is afraid that Miss Yun will be bored, isn't that--" She lifted the food box in her hand and said, "-Let the kitchen cut it He bought a piece of venison and asked me to send it to Miss Yun to roast."

Zijuan smiled and praised: "Fourth Master is so thoughtful, he even thought of this."

Xiu Ying smiled and said, "More than that? We've even prepared the charcoal and grates for barbecue. I won't say any more, I have to send them over quickly."

Zijuan asked hurriedly: "Have you seen Qingwen?"

Xiu Ying paused and said, "Fourth Master is currently ill, and Qingwen is taking care of him in the east courtyard right now."

After dropping her mouth, Xiu Ying happily skipped to the Grand View Garden without noticing the helplessness on Zicuckoo's face.

The silly girl Xiu Ying carried the food box all the way to De Yihong Courtyard. When she entered the door, she shouted: "Miss Yun, look what I brought?"

Xiangyun was holding his chin in the room and was bored. After hearing this, he hurriedly came out to observe. When Xiuying opened the food box, Xiangyun became happy after just one glance: "Where did you get the venison? Don't tell me, I'm really excited now." Just think about this."

Xiu Ying hurriedly lowered her voice and said: "Fourth Master specially sent this to me because he was afraid that the girl would be bored."

Xiangyun blinked and immediately became nervous, saying, "Actually, I have nothing to do with him. I don't need him to be like this all the time... That's right. Is fourth brother Jian feeling better?"
