in spring

Chapter 166 The Spring of the 15th Year of Shun'an
The spring of the 15th year of Shun'an has come.

Compared with previous years, the weather this year is much colder. It was still snowing a month ago, and half a month ago, I still had to wear cotton clothes, but suddenly a warm wind blew, and the sky and the earth seemed to change colors. The grass turned green, and the flowers turned green. The trees bloomed, the branches grew new leaves, the sun came out from behind the thick clouds, and gave off a warm and dazzling light. The girls wore new thin spring clothes, announcing that spring had finally arrived.

This is the fifth year since Chunying traveled to this world.In less than two months, her body will be sixteen years old.Although she looks immature, in the eyes of everyone around her, she is already a slim young girl.Sometimes, when she looks at herself in the bronze mirror, she is quite satisfied. Her facial features are not stunning, but they are also delicate and pleasant. She has two curved eyebrows, bright eyes, a straight nose bridge, and natural red lips, which are more natural than those in time-traveling. The former is more youthful.

Due to the lack of pollution and chemicals in ancient times, her skin is of good quality, with no acne or blackheads, but it is not fair and delicate; her hair is black and dense, but it is not smooth enough.She intends to do a little care for herself, but she is troubled by the difficulty of obtaining raw materials and limited personal freedom. She lives under the eyes of others all the time, and can only use a few basic care products that ancient maids loved: eggs, hair oil , duck egg powder, plus cucumbers from the small kitchen.

Fortunately, she usually attaches great importance to sports, and she has to ask for errands to run errands around the mansion when she has nothing to do, so her figure is slim and fit, and compared with other people, she looks taller and straighter.She didn't notice the gazes cast on her by others, but simply thought: Good health is the capital of the revolution!

Chunying set up a pergola with her hands, looked at the sun in the sky, and felt that the degree of sun exposure was not too severe, so she shouldn't have to turn around to take an extra umbrella, so she took the fan in her hand and walked towards the garden against the breeze.

She first arrived at the foot of the hill, and found that Miss Biao and the others had left the flower garden there. She hurriedly grabbed a passing maid and asked them. Then she found out where they were, and hurriedly turned to the direction of the small lake. After a long distance, she heard There were bursts of laughter like silver bells.

The second young lady, Yijun, stepped on the swing and kept telling the maids to push her up. As the swing swayed back and forth, her primrose green embroidered skirt fluttered in the wind, against the begonia red gauze shirt, as if Like a butterfly.Huo Yi kept laughing and watching from the bottom, but the third young lady Xi Jun next to her turned pale.After a while, Yijun's maids were worried about her lack of energy and tried to persuade her, so she reluctantly slowed down and slowly got off the swing.

Yijun took the silk handkerchief from Cuiyu, and exhaled: "It's really fun! It's really fun! Cousin and third sister, do you want to try it?"

Huo Yi smiled and shook her head: "My clothes are not suitable today, let's talk about it later, anyway, this autumn jade has already been built, so I can come to play whenever I want."

Yijun saw that she was only wearing homely clothes today, only her hair was combed in a unique style, it seemed that she was not very stable, and she did not force her, so she turned to her younger sister Xijun: "You go up and try?" Xijun shook his head , she frowned: "Cousin just didn't try it today, she will play it next time, you don't even have the guts to try it?!" She pointed around: "Look at how thick the grass is on the ground? ! This swing is strong, I have been swinging it for so long and it is firm, and we still have so many people, so it is possible that it will fall on you?!"

Xijun just shook his head blindly, tears were about to come out, Yijun simply hated iron and steel: "Why are you crying?! If you don't agree, you won't, why don't you just say it?! When others see it, they think I'm bullying you That!" Huo Yi held back her smile, and persuaded softly: "Second sister, third sister is just shy, you know it all, why make things difficult for her?"

Yijun said anxiously: "Cousin, why didn't I know that she was shy? But she was too shy! I am her elder sister, not a tiger, who would not eat her, but she couldn't even speak loudly in front of me." Don’t dare, if you go outside, wouldn’t it disgrace our family?!” He scolded Xijun again: “You are such a coward! You don’t have the air of a lady at all, no wonder even the girls want to bully you head!"

Xijun lowered her head with a pale face, her maid, Yue Ya'er, couldn't stand it, she stood up and said, "Second Miss, what you said is unfair, our lady has always respected her sisters, so I dare not confront you. You, even the wife said that our lady is polite! Besides, we are loyal to the lady, when did we bully her?! You can’t talk nonsense, let the wife know and punish us.”

Yijun sneered and wanted to refute it, Huo Yi saw that it was not good, and gave Jing Shi who was sitting in the pavilion a wink, Jing Shi came over with a smile and said: "Okay, everyone should be tired after playing for half a day. Come on, go sit and rest in the pavilion. Second sister, you were sweating just now, you better go back and change your clothes, or you will have a headache again later."

Yijun's attention was diverted: "I'm having fun, what are you going to do when you go back? I didn't sweat much, and besides, I'm in good health!"

Mrs. Jing didn't persuade her much, she just took her with one hand and Xi Jun with the other, and walked into the pavilion, Huo Yi followed slowly, and when she reached the pavilion, she sat down on the stone chair by the table.

Chunying had been waiting at the side for a long time, and when she saw this, she hurriedly walked over with light steps, and presented her with a fan: "Miss, your fan." Huo Yi took it with a smile, and gently slapped it again, Chunying retreated understandingly. .

Unexpectedly, when Yijun saw Chunying, he grabbed her with a smile and said, "You girl, why don't you come to play in my courtyard? The flower and fruit tea you made a few days ago tasted very good. I was just about to ask you to cook it for me a few more times!" Chunying was stunned for a while, and couldn't help but glance towards Huo Yi.

Because Huo Yi and her cousins ​​often come and go, the maids of several of them have long been familiar with each other, but Chunying always remembers that the second young lady is the second young master's compatriot sister, and she feels a little uncomfortable, so she just maintains her superficial courtesy, privately. She didn't move towards her very much, once she heard what Yi Jun said, she subconsciously wanted to know what Huo Yi meant, and she would only go if the latter agreed.

How did Yijun know all these inside stories?Thinking that Chunying was worried about her current master, she curled her lips: "You are still from our family, why did you turn your arms out? Could it be that I want to eat a pot of tea from you, but you still refuse to agree?! "

Jing said with a smile: "What are you talking about, girl? Quickly apologize to your cousin! Chunying is her servant girl, if you want to ask someone to do work, you have to ask the master first? Chunying is a girl who is polite, Why are you a young lady so reckless?"

Yijun lowered his head in embarrassment, Huo Yi smiled and said: "It's okay, the second sister is just outspoken and quick-hearted." Then he said to Yijun: "I am a girl from your family, you have to order me around." She should be, but I still want her to do things, so I can't take advantage of you. Just now, my cousin is here to set up the chess record, and we will borrow her chess to play a game. If you win, I will lend you Chunying. One day, if I win..."

"Then the copy of the Sanjue Stele I got earlier will be yours!"

"Okay!" Huo Yi agreed straight away, "Chunying, clean up the chessboard!"

Chunying suppressed the emotions in her heart, smiled and said, "Yes." Then she arranged the chess pieces and chess jars on the stone table and placed them in front of the two of them.

Yijun guessed first, Huo Yi smiled, and picked two sunspots calmly, and it turned out that Yijun held the white and went first.Yijun put on an offensive from the very beginning, with a fierce momentum.Huo Yi responded calmly. At first, his momentum was slightly weaker, but it slowly turned into an advantage. Before he knew it, he had surrounded Yijun's dragon.Yijun kept on attacking fiercely, and when he found that he had fallen into a trap, he was a little flustered and overwhelmed, and finally found that he could not save the overall situation anyway, so he had to throw the chess pieces back into the pot and shouted discouragedly: "I lost!"

Huo Yi smiled and said "Concession", motioned Chunying to pack up the chess pieces, and then said generously: "I also like to eat that flower and fruit tea, and I was thinking of asking Chunying to cook it again when I was free. , Third sister, are you interested in coming to taste it?"

Yijun gritted his teeth again, and said with a smile: "Cousin, I really can't do anything about you!" Then he pushed his sister: "Did you hear? Cousin invited us to visit!"

Xijun seemed to have just woken up from contemplation, and was startled: "Huh? Ah, yes! Thank you cousin."

Yijun frowned: "What are you in a daze for?! How many times have I told you? You must listen carefully!"

Xi Jun shrank her neck and said softly, "Yes, Second Sister..."

Yijun's eyes looked like she was about to hit someone, Jing rushed to pull her away, Huo Yi was smiling at the side, and suddenly saw a young woman walking over, wearing a red trousers, she was the second young master's roommate Woven painting.

Zhihua walked to the pavilion and looked around the pavilion timidly, hesitating whether to speak or not.Huo Yi glanced at Chunying, then lowered her eyes, Chunying had to remind Yijun instead of her: "Second Miss, it seems that someone is looking for you."

Yijun turned his head to look, frowned and asked, "Why are you? What's the matter?!"

Zhi Hua came forward to salute in surprise: "Second miss, my aunt told you to go, she said... she said..." She took a timid glance at Mrs. Jing, "She said she has something important to discuss with you. "

Yijun waved his hand impatiently: "Didn't you see that I'm busy?! I have something to say when I get back!" She ignored her and just tugged at Chunying's sleeve: "The tea I'm going to make this time, Fang Zi It’s different from last time, okay? You said there are many recipes.”

Chunying smiled and replied: "Okay, what kind of tea does Second Miss want to drink? It's just that there are not many fruits in this season, and many teas can't be made."

They chatted enthusiastically about flower and fruit tea here, but they were so anxious on the other side of the weaving painting that they couldn't help calling: "Second Miss..."

"What are you still doing here? Just say something!"

"What my aunt wants to say is... yes..." Zhihua peeked at the others again, and gritted her teeth, "It's the second young master! Just now Master Hou discussed with his wife to bring the second young master back! Auntie specially invites you to discuss it this matter!"

Yijun stood up abruptly, after being pleasantly surprised, he was a little dazed.Since the second brother failed the imperial examination that year, he gradually lost the favor of his grandmother and father. Later, he caused various troubles one after another, and even engaged in a high-profile marriage. But not long after, because of an unknown rumor, He was sent to a farm outside the city, except when his aunt died and rushed back to attend the funeral, he was always outside.She was very sad at first, after all, this is her own brother, and he has always loved her, but after a long time, she has almost forgotten him, now, can he finally come back?Is it just for a few days, or stay forever?
Thinking of this, she was not in the mood to play anymore, and hurriedly apologized to her sister-in-law and sisters, and left with the weaving painting.Leaving Jing Shi, Huo Yi and the others in place, they each had their own thoughts.

Chunying frowned secretly, after only three years of quiet life, the second young master is coming back again?
