After listening to this long speech, I was at a loss, and Mu Mu agreed, "Oh." Mrs. Xu sighed and said, "Are you two lucky people? What happened in the past is long gone. Now There are so many flowers in this mansion, what are you worried about?" After finishing speaking, he asked me: "Do you still drink tea? It's cold, and your body is weak, so you can't drink cold tea."

I put the tea cup in my hand on the tea tray and stopped drinking.As a result, with a sound of Ding Ling, she accidentally broke the remaining teacup.Mrs. Xu recited the Buddha's voice, and said: "You two sisters are really good today. It's a pity that Mr. Lin sent someone to send this good thing. It took only one day to break one, and this broke another one. " Xu Xu said, tidying up for a long time before going down.I stood upstairs, dazed for a long time, thinking about the "past events" again and again.Although it was something that had nothing to do with me, I couldn't help feeling sad.

At the moment when thoughts surged, for some reason, my head also started to hurt.Thinking of the feeling of being overwhelmed by pain at the banquet, he quickly walked down the wall and went back to his room to sit.The pain never came.I stood up again and walked around the room a few times.Unconsciously, it occurred to Mrs. Xu that there were many books in Xiaohonglou that Mrs. Xu said before.However, the place is empty anyway, and there is nothing there.It's quite boring.

When I remembered, I had a few idle books with me.I checked it out for a while, and sat on the swing shelf in the sun in the yard, basking in the sun, while flipping through it.Just when I was reading "Reading Tao books leisurely, watching and combing hair under the crystal curtain", a crisp bird song passed by my ears.Looking up, a parrot with red crown and blue body stopped on the tree, bouncing and shining among the branches.When I lowered my head to read the book again, the breeze turned over, and the sentence "Once the sea was too difficult to be water, except Wushan is not a cloud" just came into view.What a "Once Upon a Time" sent by Dongfeng!

Unlimited thoughts suddenly poured down like heavy rain.I secretly thought about the words of Mrs. Xu's "whether to marry or not": After all, what happened to the changing hands of the country, what happened to the soldiers coming to the city, everything is too far away from me.Since the young Son of Heaven came to the throne, the Central Plains has already been cleared, and the world is settled.Although Kunming is special, there is no doubt that the Qing regime is still impregnable.

Besides, even if this is not the case, what does the country's affairs have to do with me, a weak woman?Only the matter of getting married should really be my own concern.But then again, is it really useful for me to care about myself?

Thinking, sighing, the third day passed like this.

On the fourth day, I was fine all morning and afternoon.Pearl is going out to learn opera.I followed her out to the yard, ready to play on the swing alone.The two sisters just went out, a girl saw us, gave a salute, came over and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, are the two sisters Miss Jin and Miss Gu?"

This girl is day and night.

—Her story is much more exciting than mine.But she was still young at this time, so let's save the story for later.As for the moment when we met for the first time next to the crabapple tree and under the swing, her wonderful life hadn't started yet, and those embarrassing stories hadn't happened yet.

She came to me just to do something that is very common for a little girl.

"Good afternoon, sister. I'm a girl from Mr. Wei's family, and I'm here to deliver things to my sisters." While speaking, she presented a black lacquered mother-of-pearl box, opened it, and inside was a pair of hairpins inlaid with precious beads.Zhao Xi said, "Although this thing is worthless, it is different from other hairpins. At night, it can emit light, which is nice to see."

Since it was given by Mr. Wei, it doesn't matter whether it's worth money or not, it's meaningless.I settled my heart, and only took things lightly.Pearl, on the other hand, smiled happily.Zhao Xi thought I was not rare, and said: "The two girls are really blessed! There are only four hairpins in total. The head of the hairpin is inlaid with Yelai Mingyue beads, one is orange and red, and it is now worn in four grids, and the other is blue and green. I don’t know Mr. Wei. I gave it to someone, and the remaining pink and blue are here." I had no choice but to calm down and replied calmly: "Girl, come and help us see, who should wear which one? "Looking at it day and night: "Sister Gu should use pink, and Sister Jin should use sky blue."

We put them on as promised.

Because today is the first day of rehearsal for the Puli troupe at Lie Cui Xuan.In order not to delay, Pearl received the gift and hurried to leave soon.I was the only one left chatting with Zhaoxi in the yard.

Seeing that there was no one around in the morning and evening, he secretly smiled and said, "Sister, I have something for you here."

After speaking, he took out a book from his body.Ask her how she knew I could read.Zhao Xi smiled and said: "My sister didn't pay attention. That day when the men were drinking upstairs, I also came with Mr. Wei. It was among the little girls who brought tea and water."

"Oh," I said, "I thought they were all from Mr. Lin's family." The scene at that time flashed before my eyes, but it didn't match up.I don't remember saying that I have read or not read.Pearl played with her braids and said with a smile: "Is my sister also literate and good at writing?"

I smiled and waved my hands, and said: "The word Wuwenengmo is used wrongly. Besides, I am not such a person." Chaoxi also smiled and said: "Oh, my sister is bullying me and I can't speak. Let's not care about that, I just ask Sister, do you like reading?" I nodded.Zhao Xi said: "That's right. Although I didn't talk to my sister that day, I felt that my sister had a fresh air of a scholar." After speaking, she laughed again, "I don't know what the girl likes to read, so I read it randomly. I got it from the study. If you don’t like it, don’t blame the girl.”

It turned out that what she gave me was not the kind of book engraved in the workshop, but a handwritten version in lower script.Busy reading readers know that this is a newly published book that is kept secret.I don't feel overjoyed.Zhao Xi smiled and said: "Miss, this is not right, you have accepted such a valuable hairpin, you are so calm, and you have this book, but you are very happy."

Only then did I realize my negligence, and thank Mr. Wei for the reward.I was only halfway through the conversation, but when I saw a red seal on the book that said "the landlord's collection of ten thousand volumes", I immediately forgot about the hairpin.

"Did you take this book from Mr. Wei's study room?"

Seeing Pearl nodding, he unconsciously said, "Mr. Wei's alias is quite impressive." Hearing this, Zhao Xi was confused, "What alias?" I pointed it out to her and said, "The building is ten thousand volumes. Lou, you are the owner of Wan Juan, isn’t he majestic?” Zhaoxi came to have a look, shook his head and smiled: “Of course you are majestic. The girl admitted it wrong. The landlord of Wan Juan is our lord.” “Our lord, Lovely books. There are 20 volumes in the upstairs of the ten thousand volumes. There are also a collection of classics and history, ancient and modern novels, legendary scripts, and so on. The prince said again that books must be read by living people. Make the best use of everything, so when I saw people reading, I was very happy and opened the Wanjuan Building for everyone to read. Therefore, the men in the mansion did not buy books, and when they wanted to read any books, they borrowed them from the Wanjuan Building. "

I was fascinated by what I heard, and said unconsciously, "Oh, if only I could go upstairs and read a book, that would be great."

Ben was just sighing casually, unexpectedly he immediately said: "This is easy to handle. Does the girl have a dental card?" I touched my body unconsciously, Pearl saw it and said, "If you want to read, you can go with the dental card." I Surprised: Can women go too?This is something I have never heard of or seen. "

Looking down at the book in his hand, "Lord Wanjuan", what an open-minded and interesting person he must be!For a while, he frowned again, thinking that the king of Yunnan was really a person who couldn't describe it in words.Zhaoxi said: "The girl laughs for a while, sighs for a while, is she thinking about Mr. Wei?" I was so shocked that I almost dropped the book in my hand, and said: "Look at you, what are you doing to make me happy for no reason!" The smile grew stronger, "Sure enough, why is my sister blushing? I'll go back and tell Mr. Wei!" I was immediately embarrassed, "If you tell me, I won't live."

Seeing me like this day and night, I became more and more overjoyed: "I'm going to see how embarrassing my sister will be!"
