Seventeen years after Chenghui, on a winter afternoon, Cui Yi dragged his tired body and sat under the acacia tree.
When I came out with my cape in hand, I saw her bathed in sunlight, her eyes lightly closed.
These days, I know that the girl is afraid that the limit is coming, she is getting more and more sleepy, and the time to wake up is getting less and less.
With the effort of taking a cloak herself, she could fall asleep under the tree.
I walked over gently, trying to wake her up. But after a few calls, she didn't respond.
The conjecture in my heart suddenly surged up, and I couldn't help but panic.
At this moment, the door that had not been opened for two years was violently slammed open.
Dust rose, mixed with daylight, and a man came toward me in the backlight.
I saw him walk slower and slower, heavier and heavier toward the girl.
But a distance of dozens of steps, that is their life.
But ah, no one can gently call me to write a face, call him a Lang Jun'an.
My girl, in the seventeenth winter of Chenghui, slept forever.
——
In order to subsidize my family, I was taken to Cui Mansion by the tooth wife in order to subsidize my family, hoping to be selected to be the sprinkler of the four girls.
The fourth girl's name is Cui Yi, the fourth line, the first three are brothers, but it is the big miss who is married.
It should be a trivial matter, but this lady of the house has to personally pass it, which shows how favored Cui Yi is.
After a few roundabouts, we saw the lady sitting in the middle of the pavilion.
She looked only in her early thirties, but she was born extremely beautiful, especially those eyes, autumn water contained emotion.
Madame put down the cup of tea, and Ma Ma stood beside her.
The pavilion was extremely quiet, and the five of us did not dare to speak out, for fear that the next person to be taken away by the dentist would be himself.
The wind passed, bringing a string of pleasant laughter.
I looked down and saw a pair of delicate embroidered shoes pass in front of my eyes.
"Slow down."
I heard Madame's voice ring softly.
Mamma asked us to look up, it was the first time I saw Cui Yi.
She nestled in Madame's arms and looked at me obediently with blinking eyes.
"Actually, the mother can be the master, and the kites believe in the mother."" The girl said playfully in madame's arms.
The lady shook her head, and the girl could only go outside the pavilion and pick it herself.
My appearance was not blinding, but the girl was the first of the five to notice me.
"What's your name?" The girl asked.
"Spring buds." I replied.
"Mother, just her, let her choose another person."
Unexpectedly, the girl left me.
I chose Erni, who was from the same country as me.
The girl said that after the two of us changed our names to Writing Face and Freehand.
Writing face, I read my new name, it is really good, the girl looks very kind.
Madame remembered my situation with the freehand family and asked us to advance half a year's silver money.
In the next half a month, Grandma explained to the two of us in detail the rules of the Cui Mansion and the girl's preferences.
When Madame was satisfied, she sent us to the girl's side.
The girl's yard is on the west side of Cui Province, where there is a lake of red lotuses and acacia trees in the garden.
I and Shuyi and the original two sprinklers took on all the rough work in the girl's yard, but the treatment of the four of us was still very good, and the girl would not make unreasonable trouble, and never took us angry.
I think that such a day is very good, and it is also good to stay in Cui Province.
Until the fifth girl Cui Ying accidentally scratched the girl.
That afternoon, I brought tea to serve, and I saw the five girls holding the girl and playing crazy. I put tea and snacks on the table, and as soon as I was about to go out, I heard an exclamation.
Looking up, the girl did not know when she knocked down the soft bed, and when the green bottle behind the soft bed was crumbling, I rushed to protect the girl under me.
The green bottle smashed on me, there were fragments splashing, and there was a faint blood oozing from the girl's arm.
Seeing this situation, the stunned five girls also returned to their senses and quickly held the girl's hand.
At this time, unfortunately, Huai Ning and Huai Sang, the two big men, returned together. They saw the blood on the girl's arm and rushed to the doctor.
When madame came with the doctor, the five girls stood in the corner, and the whole person trembled.
When I came back with the doctor after taking the medicine, the girl's room was eerily quiet.
I thought that the fifth girl would be severely punished by the lady, but I did not think that when I came back, I saw the girl and the fifth girl fall to the ground together.
Madame raised an eyebrow, somewhat sad.
"You are both sins that God has given me..."
"Stop, one person copied the house rules ten times, and I'll check them in half a month."
Madame said helplessly and then left.
When I talked to Shuyi about the daytime situation in the evening, she was as surprised as I was.
I heard that outside the fat house, the care of the master mother for the concubine's children is a world of difference. I didn't expect that in this Cui Mansion, the girl who was born out of the house and the girl who came out of the house got along so well.
Mo Hu, who was also a wine sweeper, heard the doubts of the two of us on the side, and pursed his lips and smiled, "This is not all, the girl and the fifth girl were born in one year, and the lady and Aunt Qin raised the two together."
I was even more shocked by the freehand.
I think there is a reason why Cui Fu has been based in this Qinghe County for a hundred years.
The next day, Madame called me away.
It was said that the girl would take me to her side and take care of her with Huai Sang Huaining's two sisters.
I was a little confused, thinking that this news was a bit fake, but when I looked at my wife's reward for my clothes, I realized that it was true.
Looking back, my mouth cracked with laughter.
The girl's personal maid, the silver money has risen four times, and the work that Ah Niang gets will no longer have to work so hard.
Grandpa's legs also have a way, and the younger sister can also go to the academy.
The autumn of the third year of Chenghui was the happiest time of my life.
There were two masters invited by the Cui government to teach the gongzi girl.
Fuzi Jushan teaches the classics Mingxian and Yun kefuzi teaches the girls to cook.
The fourth girl Cui Ying has always disliked Yun Kefuzi's class, she would rather be punished than try, but the fifth girl Cui Ying is just the opposite.
So between the two of them, everyone who can help will cover up.
Madame often looked at the two girls, and her face hated iron not steel.
The winter of the three years of Chenghui came quickly.
The five girls were caught in the wind and cold without noticing, and the lady had to stop her schoolwork.
But it was bitter to the girl, and without the help of the five girls, her embroidery could not be taken out at all.
I only have some basic stitching to patch up, and embroidery can't help.
Huai Ning Huai Sang's two sisters helped the lady supervise the girl's hard work, and she would not help.
The hand was hu, and the girl's fingers were swollen and faded, disappeared and swollen.
I was in a hurry and useless, so I could only help the girl take some medicine.
The girl is soft in nature, but the things that are identified will go all the way to the end.
After three days of fighting embroidery, the girl happily took her fruits to Madame's yard.
I followed behind, unable to bear to say that the girl's embroidered magpie resembled a duck.
"Writing faces, do you think your mother will like it?" The girl asked me.
I was silent.
"How ugly is that?" She turned her head to look at me.
Those eyes looked at me, and I couldn't bear her being deceived.
"Not ugly, the magpie charm of the girl embroidery fits." I replied.
The girl's face was bitter, and her eyes were full of confusion.
"I embroidered a bird..."
I looked at the rounded pearl-like "bird" on it and couldn't say anything.
The girl went to madame's yard with a bitter face and saw that madame was preparing quilts and clothes.
Among the two masters, The Jushan master was invited by The Duke of Cui for the three princes, and his reputation was the greatest, and every year there would be a family nobleman who would send the post of study to the palace.
After receiving it, Master Jushan will choose some sisters-in-law to see, and if it is written to fit the eye edge, it will be left behind, and if it is not compatible, it will be lost. Then Cui Gong took it to his wife to make proper arrangements.
The students will be here in the spring of the next year, and madame has begun to prepare.
In the end, the girl did not show the embroidery to the lady.
However, I was attracted by the list of students who will come to the university to study in the coming year.
"Brother Jin Xing is coming?!" The girl asked in surprise with the list, and the lady smiled and nodded.
"Mother-in-law, where are you arranging his house?"
"Canglan Pavilion."
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Madame put down the list and smiled and scraped the girl's nose.
"Not far away, Jin Xing came this time, and he also brought someone, and the Canglan Pavilion was also what he asked for."
"I brought someone...I don't know if I know...""
The girl muttered, reading herself to herself, and Madame smiled dotingly.
After having dinner with madame, the girl went back to her yard, and Sister Huaisang checked the materials for madame in the front yard, and had just returned from a busy schedule.
"Don't be gluttonous, this pastry is naughty, be careful of bellyaches."
The girl could only put down the osmanthus cake to her mouth.
"Girl don't annoy me, the last post sent by the master is named Chen Junxie, and 70% of it is a Langhua girl."
"Huai Ning, is this true?" The girl asked, pulling on her sleeve incredulously.
Sister Huai Ning smiled and nodded.
Because Prince Jin Xing and The Girl Langhua were going to come to the Cui Mansion to study in the spring of the next year, the girl was happy for several months.
The winter of chenghui's three years passed in the girl's expectation.
At the beginning of the fourth year of Chenghui, Cui Fu had prepared everything and waited for the students to come.
The girl pulled her finger and counted why the Langhua girl had not yet arrived.
I advised her not to be in a hurry, but she was not in a hurry, but she went around the house in circles.
Sister Huai Ning laughed and quipped that I said too much.
After a while, Sister Huaisang hurried in and pointed outside.
The girl immediately understood and ran out at once.
I followed behind, lifted the curtain, and saw a blue-clad Langhua girl standing in the courtyard.
Unlike the girl's beautiful and flamboyant beauty, Xie Langhua is gentle and gentle.
She stood there, a smile on the corner of her lips, gentle to the bottom of the heart.
"Iris, the rest of the year can be safe?"
"Alang, Ann Ann, I'm all safe."
The girl ran over and hugged her, burying her head in her arms
When she came to Qinghe County this time, she only brought a maid, Zhao Xiaoruo.
Seeing the two girls hugging each other, she handed the box she was carrying in her hand to Huai Ning's sister.
Don't think about it, it should be the girl's favorite cloud puff pastry.
I heard Sister Huai Sang say that this kind of pastry can only be made with ingredients from Chen County.
The girl loves to eat, but she only loves to eat the cloud puff pastry brought by the Xie family.
The spring chill was not heavy, and Huai Ning's sister was still afraid that the two girls were cold, so she hurriedly beckoned them both into the house.
After all, the five girls have a wind chill in winter, and it will be better to raise them in January.
The girl has been pestering people, telling interesting things that have happened since the last separation.
Xiao Ruo was worried about Xie Langhua, after all, she had driven the road for five days, afraid that her body would not be able to support her, and she would take people away after dinner.
The girl didn't want to give up, but she also knew that Xie Langhua was really tired.
When she went to bed at night, the smile on the corner of the girl's mouth did not stop.
"Write Your Face, tomorrow you must remember to get up early, Brother Jin Xing is coming."
I nodded after taking her missing arm out of the quilt.
Jin Xing, full name Zhou Jin Xing.
Originally, the Surname of Zhou was common, but his mother's surname was Shen, and his wife was a sister of a mother.
Today, shengshang's surname is Zhou, twenty-five years old, but the crown prince has ascended the throne thirteen or fourteen years ago, and in gratitude for the grace of the former emperor and the former empress, he has made the only son of the former emperor the prince, and that person is Zhou Jinxing.
Four years have passed, and the present saint has not yet been born childless.
Sister Huaisang told me that when Prince Jinxing was a child, Emperor Xian raised him in Cui Province for a period of time.
At that time, the girl was even more naughty than she is now, and it was not an exaggeration to say that she had made the whole Cui Mansion jump.
After Zhou Jinxing came, the girl loved to stick to him and make trouble with him.
But no matter how the girl makes trouble, he is not angry, and he will also reason with the girl.
Where could the girl of the Chaos Demon King listen to it, but Madame Nai pressed it, so that she didn't make a bigger movement
The girl also did not remember revenge, and then preferred to stick to him.
Thinking of the little girl's bitter face, listening to Jin Xinggongzi chanting to her reasoning, I couldn't help but laugh.
Freehand stared at me, a look of inexplicable.
After serving the girls closely, I still shared a room with the three of them.
They think I'm not very smart, and I can obviously ask for a separate one, but I squeeze with them.
I also don't explain, one person, where there are four people lively and warm.
I reached out and hugged the free speech, saying that I would go to bed quickly and get up early tomorrow.
She hated that my hands and feet were cold, and did not want me to touch, so she changed places with Mo Le beside her, and did not want to wake up Mo Lake.
The little girl couldn't sleep, she was gentle and gentle on weekdays, and when she woke her up, it was a stove.
I retracted my hand peacefully, buried my head in the quilt, and loaded it with quail.
After a while, the voices of Mo Le and freehand begging for forgiveness came.
I laughed and didn't dare to make a sound, afraid that the next one would be me.
Tomorrow I'm going to ask the girl to get up early, well, to go to bed.
In the spring, everything is revived, and the acacia trees in the girls' courtyard grow very well and lushly.
I got up and put on my clothes and went to the girl's room.
After standing outside the screen for a while, I let the chill on my body dissipate before I entered the inner room.
The girl slept soundly, and the night that Huai Ning's sister had kept vigil last night was now in the small ear room.
Unexpectedly, Sister Huaisang also came.
She motioned for me to call the girl, and she took Sister Huai ning back to sleep.
I nodded and looked at the lump on the bed.
The two sisters pitied me for being young and did not let me keep vigil, but they did not know that the girl's sleeping position was so bold.
On the bed, the quilt and pillow deviated from where they had been last night, and in between, the girl fell asleep on all fours
No wonder Huai Ning's sister slept so deeply, and she got up this night to give the girl an unknown number of times to retrieve the quilt.
I reached out and patted the girl, who hadn't woken up yet, and opened her eyes to look at me in a daze.
Her eyes were like a lady's.
It's just that the lady is the affectionate eyes after the precipitation of the years, and the girl is the affectionate eyes with her own flamboyance.
In her eyes, she could see the warm sun, the flower buds and the creek.
Now she had just woken up, leaning against me in a blink of an eye, letting me dress her.
I got up early today, and I added an extra coat to her.
The girl has a white complexion, which is very suitable for red.
The red coat and her smile warmed the hearts of people.
After the cleansing, the girl was much more awake, and I pressed her to the dresser, just as Sister Huaisang returned.
The girl's makeup has always been her responsibility, a pair of skillful hands, natural.
Seeing me on the sidelines with interest, he smiled and said that he would teach me later.
After dressing up, Mo Le had already set the breakfast.
Or get up early, the girl has not had an appetite, and has not eaten a few bites.
The color of the sky had not yet faded, and the three of us followed the girl to Madame's yard.
Grandma took us inside and saw Cui Gong and His Wife having breakfast.
As soon as the girl saw Cui Gong, she drilled into his arms, hugged Cui Gong and said:
"Daddy Ann."
Cui Gong picked up the girl, swept it up, and said, "The kites have grown fat, Madame Gongfang."
Madame looked at Cui Gong with disgust, then ignored him and ate herself.
The girl was not happy to hear this, and pulled on Cui Gong's sleeve to come down.
Cui Gong saw that his wife and daughter did not want to pay attention to themselves, and touched their noses in embarrassment.
Prince Jin Xing will arrive around midnight today.
Madame was also up early in the morning and was waiting for him.
Mamma had just finished packing up her meals, and Cui Gong's little chess tea said that Gongzi had arrived.
We were busy following the girl to the front yard.
At this time, the dawn came, and the clouds in the sky tore through the dark clouds and wine under the sky.
After a few loops, I saw a man standing in the backlight.
The posture was straight, like pine like bamboo, and when I heard the sound, I turned around, and I was stunned by Yu Rongtao, I had never seen such a good-looking person.
The girl was also stunned for a moment, and then looked behind him.
Jin Xing Gongzi stood up.
If this person is a jade-faced Lang Jun, then Zhou Jinxing is Wenrun Puyu, and the shallow smile makes people feel like a spring breeze.
When the girl saw Jin Xinggongzi, she just cried sweetly and did not pounce on it.
Sister Huaisang was relieved to see me, and somewhat amusedly pulled on my shirt.
The girl lives wantonly, but the rules and etiquette that should be understood are the same, except for embroidery and cooking.
After Prince Jin Xing returned to the girl, he went forward and folded his hands to greet Madame and Cui Gong.
Cui Gong tried to avoid it, but was pulled by the lady.
"Zhen Zhen, this is the prince."
"So what, he was my nephew first."
But......
"You can afford it."
Cui Gong was born to receive this gift from Zhou Jinxing.
"Junior Zhou Jinxing, with your friend Rong to see your aunt and uncle."
The jade-faced Lang Jun also came up from behind him to meet him.
"Fu Zhizhou, a fool, greeted the elders in the family on behalf of him, and was fortunate to see him."
"All right, all good, Ling Zun Ke'an?" Cui Gong asked.
"Father is the same, I wonder when you will play chess with him again."
"Haha, this old man, still remember that I defeated him half the time."
……
Fu Xiaolangjun and Cui Gong said back and forth, or Madame couldn't look at it anymore, and warned her out loud before giving up.
Madame asked Xiao Wei to send the luggage of the two princes to the Canglan Pavilion, and then took the girl back to the inner courtyard.
Zhou Jinxing entered the inner courtyard an hour later.
Madame let people make some cakes he liked early, and the tea leaves on the preparation were also Junshan Yinhao
The girl sat practicing, but she was absent-minded.
I couldn't read, and Sister Huaining taught me some common ones after she knew.
The girl bumped into me once and pulled me and said she would teach me later.
I looked at the paper "Bright eyes, Jing Fu Chengquan", well, I can't understand.
When Prince Jin Xing came in, he didn't alarm the girl, and he wouldn't let us do it.
The three of us could only watch him gently standing behind the girl.
When he saw the words written on the paper, he smiled softly.
The girl was startled at once, and reflexively wanted to stand up.
Sister Huai Ning shook her head, the girl was scared out by Yun Kefuzi.
In the master's class, the girl loves to wander.
Usually the master does not care, but if the time is long, the master will take the ring ruler and pat the girl's shoulder.
The number of times, the girl's reaction was practiced by herself.
Jin Xinggong pressed the girl's shoulder and signaled that he did not have to stand up.
The girl looked back, knowing that it was him, and violently rubbed the paper into a small white face and climbed red.
"When my brother comes, he doesn't make a sound, so he knows to scare me."
"Wronged, I've been here for a while, but you didn't pay attention."
"The eight words written by the kite, but the description of Ah Ji?"
"Ah Ji?" The girl wondered.
"Fu Zhizhou, who came with me, sent his name, and everyone around him called Ah Ji." Zhou Jinxing explained
"I see that he is older than brother A, so call him, can he wish?"
Zhou Jinxing smiled lightly and took the brush and lightly hit the girl's head.
"My young master is his father, and we have known each other since childhood, regardless of age."
"No matter how old you are, you are older."
"Iris, just two years old."
"Two years old is also older, ahem~
Girls rarely have such a brute entanglement, I am afraid that I have a vendetta.
Just as the lady heard the sound from the inner chamber, the girl was able to give up.
When Madame saw Jin Xinggongzi, she couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Ah Jin, let your aunt take a good look."
Madame pulled the boy and looked up and down to confirm that he was a complete person.
The girl did not make a sound at this time, and looked at the lady and the son.
"Be well, just say goodbye to you."
"Aunt Mo is sad, there is a saint in the palace, and the nephew has nothing to worry about, and everything is fine."
He said as he took the handkerchief handed to him by Huai Ning's sister and wiped his tears for his wife.
"The Saint has no heirs so far, and in the past two years, I am afraid that you will be sad."
"There was a lot of rumor in the palace, and the saint ignored it, and the aunt was at ease."
"At this time, how could the Holy Father allow you to leave the palace and stay for a few more years?"
"The Holy Father consulted with the Taifu. It is said that I need to see the people's livelihood and observe the people's feelings myself in order to know how to be a qualified prince."
"As it was, the saint bothered."
After madame finished speaking, she pulled Zhou Jinxing to sit in a chair.
Madame was surprised to see that the girl was sullen and did not speak.
"My aunt didn't know that Iris had made great progress in practicing words."
Madame was puzzled, she had only checked the girl's homework two days ago, and felt that her words had not changed.
The girl blushed and did not speak.
"This is?"
"The iris learned 'Roselle Endowment', which is a charm of its own."
Madame instantly understood, smiled and nodded at the girl, and said, "Iris should not remember, you saw Ah Ji when you were five years old."
The girl picked up her eyes and said, "I don't remember."
"You, you, when I was a child, there was a leather monkey." That time I went to the banquet, do you remember that uncle Yan Sheng did not give up?"
The girl thought about it carefully, as if she remembered a good-looking uncle in her memory.
"Yes, I remember that the first time Iris saw Ah Ji, she said that she would take someone home." Prince Jin Xing playfully opened his mouth to echo the lady.
The girl's face became even redder.
"Speaking of which, I don't blame you. In all these years, your uncle Yansheng has not come back to Qinghe County, and it is normal that he does not remember."
Fu Yansheng, the prince of The Young Fu, fu Xiaolangjun's father, was known as the Jade Face Tanhualang when he was young.
Madame and the girl and The Prince of Jinxing were talking about themselves, and unconsciously it was time for lunch.
Gongzi politely refused his wife's invitation to stay for dinner, saying that he was not at ease with Fu Xiaolangjun.
Before he came to the inner courtyard, Cui Gong pulled Fu Xiaolangjun to the study to practice chess.
As we all know, Cui Gong is good at chess, and when he meets people who understand chess, he loves to pull people to compete, and never let people go regardless of victory or defeat.
Fu Xiaolangjun was now afraid that he would not be able to get out.
With the gift that Prince JinXing gave to the girl, I walked quickly and went to the courtyard first.
Before I got to the door, I saw Shu Yi looking out in front of the door, looking like he should be looking for a girl.
She saw me and pulled me aside and asked, "What about the girl?"
"How about lunch in Madame's yard?" Is there an emergency?"
"Aunt Qin is here, and she's in the girl's room."
I was stunned for a moment before I remembered who Aunt Qin was.
I have been in Cui Mansion for more than half a year, and I have never seen this aunt.
"Did your aunt say anything?"
Yi Yi shook her head, and I signaled her not to worry, so I put the girl's things to Sister Huaisang before going to the girl's house.
Lifting the curtain with the tassels, I saw a charming woman sitting at a table.
Before Mamma sent us to the girl's yard, she mentioned this aunt a little.
The aunt's surname was Qin, her name was Tinglan, and she entered the house the year before the girl was born, and gave birth to five girls the following year.
Logically, no matter how generous the wife is, when she is pregnant with a child, the husband will have a grudge when she welcomes the new person into the house.
But when Madame Qin learned that Aunt Qin had entered the palace and was pregnant with the fifth girl, she paid attention to and cared for everything, and there was no contradiction for so many years.
Aunt Qin also saw me, and I went forward to salute, and she dragged my hand and said no.
"You're just writing faces, the warbler mentioned you."
"It is a blessing to have the fifth girl to be worried about it."
I wasn't sure what Aunt Qin had for coming to the girl.
However, Huai Ning's sister and Mo Hu accompanied the girl to the lady's place, Huai Sang's sister went out to visit her relatives, and Mo Le did not see anyone, leaving me and Shu Yi, but we both didn't know anything.
Or seeing my embarrassment, Aunt Qin pursed her lips and smiled.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here for you, there's a little thing."
"Auntie, please speak."
She was silent and took out a shirt from the stool next to her.
I looked at each other incomprehensibly, this is to give the girl clothes?
I took the shirt, the material is ordinary cotton yarn, but the embroidery on it is very exquisite.
"It's not for the kites, it's for you." Last time the warbler ran into trouble and injured her sister, fortunately you protected the kite."
"This is the duty of writing faces, and I can't bear the thanks of my aunt."
Aunt Qin pulled me up, touched my head, and said, "Good boy, you are not much older than them, this is my little heart, take it."
After she finished speaking, she didn't care if I accepted it or not, and left.
I looked up, tearfully looking in the direction she was leaving.
I know that I am thinking of my aunt.
When we were not yet in Cui Mansion, she liked to come to my house to rub rice, and every time Ah Niang said that she was not allowed to come next time, she would touch our heads and say that she would eat more.
In addition to Ah Niang, Aunt Qin was the second person to make clothes for me, although it was to thank me for protecting the girl.
Speaking of the autumn equinox next year, we have been in the house for two years, and we can go out to visit our relatives like Sister Huaisang.
I wiped my tears and said yes, we will go back together next year.
