[Red House] Flowers are good jade circles

Mother Yan didn't need to say anything, she just had to tell a little bit about what happened at home after Mrs. Zhang went back, and the three girls already understood.

Third Miss was inexplicably surprised, "She's too..." Even if the sister-in-law's hand stretched too far, it's still a family, isn't this kind of revenge too much?

Fourth Miss was completely stunned, and at the same time, she also had the idea of ​​retreating. Even if she really succeeded, so what, such a frightening old lady, how could she have any good fruit to eat.

Only Qi Yuniang was quite calm, and she just laughed it off when she knew it, and asked the third and fourth misses to take a high look.It seems that apart from her looks, she still has merits.

Back in her own room, the servant girl looked at Qi Yuniang worriedly, "Miss, what should I do?" Did she really return without success?The young miss is different from the third and fourth misses, the Qi family is not her home, so if she goes back like this, will she have a good end in the future?

"What can we do, the prince never returns to the palace at all, even if he comes back once in a while, the prince Fujin also guards tightly, there is no chance, so what can we do by all means?" Qi Yuniang smiled wryly, without a chance to use it, she So what if they are good at singing, reciting, composing and playing.

"But..." After seeing the wealth and honor of the palace, the servant girl was already a little bit reluctant to leave, and when she heard that the young lady had no other options, her disappointment was beyond words.

"How long can we stay?" Qi Yuniang's voice was very soft, but the maid answered quickly, "Ten days later there will be a flower banquet hosted by Wulan Gege, and I will go back home after that."

They came to play with Wulan Gege, so naturally they had to attend the flower banquet organized by Wulan Gege, and after attending, they would return home. No matter what outsiders thought, they couldn't fault it.Third Miss and Fourth Miss are not engaged yet, Madam Qi will definitely not fold them in.

"Ten days..." Qi Yuniang murmured, her time was indeed running out.

Ulan Gege is already 12 years old, she is a big girl, and Zhao Jia intends to train her to build her own social circle.And she is the eldest lady of someone of the same age and similar family background.

"They don't mean anything at all, but they're boring." Ulan was not interested, staring at her big wet and childish eyes, accusing these girls of her age that they were all unweaned dolls, as if she was already an adult .

"You've been in contact with them since you were a child. Who wouldn't want to grow up and understand things? It's not a good habit to look at others with prejudice. You don't have to look at them for three days, not to mention, How many years has it been?" Daiyu listened to her patiently, and persuaded her gently.

"Okay, I'll try my best." Ulan's original intention was that she didn't want to hold this flower feast at all, but when Zhao Jia opened her mouth, she didn't have the guts to say no, so she could only complain to Daiyu. Well, if she really asked her to give up her pick, she didn't dare.

"That's right, it's fun with the three cousins." Daiyu's body became more and more cumbersome, and she planned to send someone to add vegetables or send some rare flowers and plants to them at that time, and she didn't plan to come.

"Be good, don't make trouble with your sister-in-law. When you come out, I will play with you." Ulan said this to Daiyu's stomach. The little nephew has become an object of communication, and has to say a few words from time to time.

"Okay, I'll wait for you to play with her when the time comes. By the way, take the pair of birds back. The feathers on the body are already full. It's just a fresh look for my friends." The pair of birds mentioned by Daiyu It was Hongyun who brought her back from Zhuangzi. At that time, Ulan was looking forward to it, but Daiyu was afraid that she would not be able to support her, so she stayed.

Now that the bird has grown up, the little girl who raised the bird is also familiar with the bird's temperament, so it is appropriate to send it to her.

"I'll just take it to play for a few days, and when my little nephew comes out, I'll send it back for him to play with." Ulan hurriedly promised.

"It's enough for you to have this kind of heart." Daiyu smiled and asked the little bird-raising girl to bring the bird over, and followed Ulan Gege back.

Daiyu sighed comfortably, "Finally, I can live in Ontario for a few days."

"Stop talking." Bai Lu was packing her things, and upon hearing this, she couldn't help but reply.

Daiyu touched her chin in embarrassment, as if every time she said such words, she was greeted by another storm.

Bai Lu shrugged her shoulders with a smile, "Master's prophecy is too powerful, I don't dare to say it casually in the future."

"Don't talk, don't talk." Daiyu waved her hands again and again, her due date is next month, less than two months away, and she dare not have anything happen again.

Counting how many things happened during her pregnancy, she didn't want to be clean in the last two months.

On the day of Ulan's flower feast, the three cousins ​​all had presents, all of which were handkerchiefs embroidered by themselves or screen inserts.Most of the guests who came to the door were related to Ulan, either cousins ​​or cousins.There are also those who bring their own cousins ​​here again, and they are also relatives with other people, and they recognize each other again, which makes many people confused.

At the flower banquet, Daiyu asked Bailu to send four pots of bluegrass, and bought several tables of real flower banquets for them.

"It's really full of flowers. It really fulfilled the name of the flower banquet. I only ate fried osmanthus and drank jasmine. It turns out that there are so many kinds of flowers that can be eaten." For those who know a lot, they were a little shocked when they saw this table of cauliflower.

All kinds of dishes in the flower banquet are based on flowers, either made of real petals, or food made in the shape of flowers.It looks colorful and colorful, and it looks like a bunch of flowers, that is, it looks good and tastes better.

Ulan smiled from ear to ear. The sister-in-law said early in the morning that she would give her a surprise, and it turned out that it was a surprise.Immediately, the little chicken nodded like chopping rice, "Yes, yes, my sister-in-law prepared it, and even I kept it from myself. So there are so many kinds of flowers that can be eaten."

Qi Yuniang took a piece of magnolia flower into her mouth and said with a smile, "I have eaten this kind of cauliflower in a place called Dianchi before, but I didn't expect Jinling to have it."

"Dianchi, cousin Qi has been to such a far place." Ulan's eyes lit up. What she hated most in her life was that as a woman, she couldn't roam around like a man.Hearing that a woman had traveled far away, he immediately had a good impression of her.

"Yes, yes, I can't remember clearly what happened when I was a child." A trace of anxiety flashed across Qi Yuniang's eyes, and she managed to evade it.Only Miss San and Miss Si looked at each other and understood what was going on in their hearts.

But since the palace had no intention of exposing her identity, it became unnecessary.Speaking out would become a scandal for the Qi family, without any benefit.The two of them tacitly didn't bring it up again, they just took the food silently, envious of Wulan Gege's happy life in their hearts, that's all.

Qi Yuniang avoided Ulan Gege's questioning with the excuse of changing clothes.

"Huh." Qi Yuniang touched her ears, and the maid realized that one of her earrings was missing.

"It must have fallen on the table, I will look for the servant girl." The servant girl who was serving was from the palace, so she opened her mouth immediately.

"Thank you, sister. I'll go with our girl. If you find it, wait for us over there." The maid Qi Yuniang brought from home gave a blessing to the maid who was willing to go back to find the earrings. , separated halfway.

"I went for a walk in the garden, feeling bored. Go inside and find the best Wufu Luozi I played yesterday. Someone asked me just now. I'll give her one." Qi Yuniang sighed, the maid Knowing what she was thinking, when they returned to Qi's residence, they still didn't know what was waiting for them.

"Yes." The servant girl returned to the house obediently, going in the opposite direction to the garden.

Ulan Gege sent the big maid beside her to thank Daiyu, and she was talking vividly about how the ladies of each family praised and surprised her, which made Daiyu laugh.

"As long as they like it, it's just for fun, but it's rare in our place, and it's really not worth anything."

"It's this freshness that is rare. Our master said that after the banquet is over, I will come to thank you in person. This servant is just learning from you and letting you have fun." The little maid is very talkative, With a grinning appearance, she doesn't have the timidity of ordinary servants, but she is somewhat similar to Xingguo.

"Go back and serve her. Let her entertain the guests well. My family, I won't be able to thank you anytime soon." Daiyu asked Bailu to send her out, and leaned on the couch by herself, flipping through her dowry account book.Chen Xiang was on the side, talking carefully.

"You can't finish reading the account book in one day. Master, why don't you stop here now and read the rest tomorrow."

"You read a sentence slowly, you have read it for three days, and you have only read half of it, you guys." Daiyu knew that they couldn't hold back them, if she didn't listen, they would really dare not get up on their knees.

Chen Xiang collected the account books, and talked about Xingguo's marriage, "Mama Mei is very dedicated, she cleaned the house, and the gift boxes she bought are all prepared according to the rules."

Xingguo was released from good status, so Daiyu asked her to marry from her natal family, and she had already returned to her own home, which was arranged by Nanny Jin.However, Chen Xiang still has to go there every three to five days, to inquire about the progress, and also to see how the two parties are doing, so that he can reply to Daiyu.

"I'm afraid it's too late to break the furniture." Daiyu was a little worried.

"Nurse Jin has already prepared it. I went back and checked, and said that it will be ready in half a month." Chen Xiang explained in detail again, what materials are used for the furniture, and what flowers are carved.

He also said Xingguo, "Shut up at home to embroider wedding dresses, complaining to me that both fingers are going to be swollen."

"She embroidered a wedding dress, can she wear it?" Daiyu was also amused, that girl, she has never held a needle and thread in a serious way, so she must be a little better than herself.

"Anyway, Nanny Jin said that the materials are all high-quality, and it is impossible to buy her a second one." The implication is that you can wear it yourself if the embroidery is good or not, it depends.

"It's only Nanny Jin who can cure her, the wise daughter is Mo Ruomu." Daiyu laughed and listened, her head nodded, obviously tired.

Chen Xiang brought a pillow and put it behind her head, then covered her with a quilt, and told Xie Yi to stay in the room.

"Be gentle with your hands and feet, so you can't hear the sound when the master is sleeping."

"Yes." Sitting on the twig comfortably and orderly, even her breathing slowed down.Chen Xiang went outside and talked to Bai Lu, then prepared to go home.

"Sister Chen Xiang take a step back, the flower feast will be over in a while, Wulan Gege must be busy, the master may ask you to help me."

"Okay then, I'll go to the house to lean on. If the master wakes up, call me." Chen Xiang also has a bed in the yard, but he doesn't use it usually, and he feels sleepy now, so he and Bai Lu After confessing, he went into his room and lay down.

Daiyu sleeps in a daze, dreaming of the days when she was in the emergency room in her previous life, stepping on the hot wheel and wishing she could break it into eight pieces by herself.

"Nurse Dai, Nurse Dai, wake up, you can't sleep here."

Daiyu was furious, she was so busy that she fell asleep somewhere, did this person have eyes?

"I think it's better to stop barking and ask Fujin to deal with it. What if our master is gone?"

What Fujin, am I not a nurse?Daiyu didn't know where she was for a moment, and she was in a daze.

Reluctantly opening his eyes, he saw Bai Lu and Xie Yi standing in front of the bed, as if they had been a lifetime away.

"What's going on?" Daiyu quickly sat up after a shock came to her mind.

"Qi Yuniang is gone, Ulan Gege has sent people to search everywhere." Chen Xiang didn't wait for her to respond, and then said: "The servants decided on their own initiative, and asked the people in our courtyard to look for it too."

"Have you found it yet?" Daiyu stroked her forehead, Hongyun was not in the mansion, she was a living person, no matter how she ran, she would only be in the palace.

"No, Ulan Gege has already sent the guests off, but he still hasn't found anyone." Bai Lu answered.

The guests were all sent away. If there was anything, it was a housework behind closed doors. Daiyu was relieved. If Ulan made a big joke when entertaining guests for the first time, it would be remembered for a lifetime.

"Ulan Gege is here." Yulan from outside reported through the curtain.

"Please."

"Sister-in-law." Ulan rolled in like a wind, her eyes were red, and she felt wronged.

"Has anyone been found?" The hand supporting Bai Lu got off the ground, her belly changed every day, it was so big that she couldn't see her toes.

Chen Xiang squatted down to help her put on her shoes, "Don't worry, she is a living person, and she is also a cousin who visits the house, nothing will happen to her."

"Have you ever asked anyone, and where did you see her last?" Daiyu asked Ulan.

"She sent the two girls away, saying that she was going to the garden for a while, and the servants in the garden did see her, but she said that in the blink of an eye, no one was seen."

Ulan bit her lower lip, and organized a flower banquet by herself, and provoked someone, why did Qi Yuniang insist on not seeing her at her flower banquet.She was very sure that Qi Yuniang did it on purpose, who knew what she was doing secretly.

"Send someone to deliver a lotus cake to each elder brother, and see where they are." A wonderful dessert at the flower feast is like a miniature lotus. Daiyu thought about it and prepared a lot , just to use it.

"Yes, servant girl, let someone go." Bai Lu ordered the matter.

There is something Ulan doesn't understand. As a relative of Fujin's natal family, Qi Yuniang is a cousin who comes to sit as guests. No matter whether she is a master or a servant, no one will be rude to her.Her disappearance can only be voluntary.

In the palace, the prince and the eldest son are both in the yamen. Besides them, there are three elder brothers in the palace.The youngest is 13 years old, not to mention for the time being, the second elder brother is sixteen, and the wedding date is scheduled for the beginning of next spring, and the third elder brother is fifteen, who are seeing each other and have not yet decided on a marriage.

In front of Ulan, everyone knew it in their hearts, but they dared not speak out.Just waiting for the little girl who delivered the food box to come back, the three of them stood in a row, and a round-faced Fuli said: "To the young mistress, to Gege, and the servant to send it to the second elder brother. He was reading a book and ate it at that time." One piece was said to be exquisite and delicious, and I gave it to the servants as a reward."

As he spoke, he passed his hands forward, holding a piece of broken silver in his hand.

"Keep it for yourself, what about you?" Chen Xiang helped Daiyu and asked another little girl.

"The slave girl went to the third elder brother's house, but she didn't see anyone. Cailan from the third elder brother's house accepted it, and even grabbed a handful of candy for the slave servant."

"The servant girl went to the fourth elder brother's house. He was studying, smiled when he saw the pastry, and even wrote a poem. Unfortunately, the servant girl is stupid and really can't learn it."

Daiyu glanced at the girl in the middle, Chen Xiang left the girl in the middle, and the person next to him replied.

"Where did you see Cailan, what was his expression at that time?" Chen Xiang continued to ask.

"Brother lives in the outer courtyard, and the slaves also go to the outer courtyard, but before entering the courtyard, they met Cai Lan at the door. He was very surprised when he saw the servants. When I told the purpose of my visit, he panicked. Said that the third elder brother was resting, and at the same time said that the third elder brother was not there, so he only asked me to leave my things, and did not let the servants go in."

The little girl curled her lips, thinking that Cailan was too incapable of being a human being, she was a maid in the young mistress's room, so she couldn't bear his cup of tea.

"Understood, you go down." Chen Xiang took a plate of cakes on the table, "Take and eat."

The little girl left, Chen Xiang and Bai Lu looked at each other, and were about to leave, but Ulan couldn't wait.

"I'll go and tell Fujin." The little girl's eyes seemed to have mist, and she was really wronged.Anyone who is used like this will probably have such an expression.On weekdays, how could Qi Yuniang have such an opportunity to go to the outer courtyard.

Isn't it because today, Ulan has guests, and the maid is too busy, so she has excuses and reasons to fish in troubled waters.

"This matter can only be handled by Fujin, you go." Daiyu sighed, she really couldn't get involved in this matter.

Ulan ran to see Zhao Jiashi weeping, startled Zhao Jiashi, and thought she was offended by some guest and felt wronged.

"Is it someone who offended you? If you don't like it, let's not associate with such a person in the future." For this daughter, Zhao Jia's can be said to be very tolerant, but she is not so kind to Hongyun.

"No, it's Qi Yuniang." Wulan was not willing to call her cousin, but she felt that her name was dirty from beginning to end.

My own mother-in-law came forward and explained carefully.

"It's gone, haven't you found it yet?" Zhao Jia's face darkened, obviously thinking of something with them.

"It seems that someone, I seem to have seen, finally went to the front yard." The mother-in-law didn't dare to speak out, and gave a general direction vaguely.

"Mother Yan, take someone to take a look." Zhao Jia's hands were trembling slightly, what is this, what is this.
