Watching Zhi Niang playing with the puppy for a while, Wei Shi started to talk about serious things with Wang Heng. "It will be your grandmother's birthday in more than ten days. Can't you make it through that day?"

Wei's mother, Princess Dachang, is also the aunt of the imperial concubine, and naturally Wang Heng's grandmother. It is only natural for the grandson to celebrate the grandmother's birthday.

"Naturally, the day will pass." Wang Heng shifted his gaze to Wei Shi, and immediately looked humble and polite again.

"Cousin, this year's grandmother's birthday, what good things did you give her?" Zhi Niang was also drawn to her attention, and asked innocently.

Facing his aunt and cousin, Wang Heng didn't mean to hide anything, so he revealed the Gu generously, "A group of merchants from the Western Regions came to the capital a few days ago, and they brought a lot of good goods. Someone told me that they bought There is a pair of birthday peaches carved from Kunlun jade, which are moist and flawless, and I spent a lot of effort to find them, thinking that when I give them to my grandmother, she will definitely like them."

Wei Shi smiled with satisfaction, "It's your heart."

"Is there any other good things in the caravan in the Western Regions?" Following Zhi Niang's question, Wang Heng patiently introduced the caravan to his cousin in detail, "I heard that they still have a A batch of Western flower water..."

***

The three people in the Xici room talked for more than half an hour, and Animian sat dryly in the Xili room for more than half an hour-this process was not so pleasant, especially when the surroundings were as dry as hers. The three sitting there were not at all unhappy.On the contrary, they all seemed to be enjoying themselves, as if sitting here and listening to Wei Shi, Wang Heng, and Zhi Niang chatting - even if they couldn't even see Wang Heng's face, it was still a lot of fun.

Hui Niang recalled it carefully, why didn't she find out in her last life that her sisters, no matter how old or young, had little love for Wang Heng?Forget about the eldest sister and wife, at the age of fourteen or five, they have reached the age of first love, and it is rare to see a handsome and handsome young man in the inner courtyard on weekdays. Wang Heng...does have the capital to arouse reverie.But fifth sister Yinniang—if she remembers correctly, she is only nine years old this year—she is not yet ten years old, when she is supposed to be innocent, how come she looks shy and timid?

After finally waiting for Wang Heng to leave, Du Zhong went into Xilijian and took the girls out. The little white dog in Zhi Niang's arms naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.As soon as Lingniang was out of Xili Room, relying on her good relationship with Zhiniang on weekdays, she approached with a flattering smile, "Fourth sister, this puppy is really cute!"

"It's called Yuqiuer." Zhi Niang said proudly, and generously sent Yuqiuer forward, allowing Lingniang to touch its head, "Be gentle, don't scare Yuqiuer up .”

Yin Niang, who was usually quiet and reticent, boldly moved over. She was very envious that her own sister was allowed to pet the puppy—she also wanted to touch the puppy's head with her own hands, but she was afraid of Zhi mother. "Fourth sister, can you touch it for me too?" She asked in a whisper.

"Okay." Zhi Niang usually looks down on this youngest sister, but today she is very generous - Yin Niang is famous for her needlework, she has already thought about it, and when she comes back, she will ask Yin Niang to give Yu Qiuer Making a quilt must be more delicate than the maids in her room.

Unexpectedly, she also got the "pardon", Yin Niang boldly touched the little white dog's head, "It's so soft." She admired, "The puppy born from the big yellow dog at Aunt Guo's house in the kitchen last year , it’s so soft to the touch.”

What this sentence said... Aniang could tell that something was wrong.She secretly sighed: I really misunderstood Yinniang just now, as the fifth younger sister, she should just like puppies very much, and she probably has no other thoughts about Wang Heng.

How can the dog my cousin gave me be compared with the native dog in the kitchen servant's house?A look of displeasure instantly appeared on Zhi Niang's face, she suddenly withdrew her arms and held Yu Qiu'er tightly in her arms, her tone became cold, "There are so many people around, Yu Qiu'er should be scared. "

Wei Shi glanced at his daughter indifferently, but did not reprimand her.After a while, I sent my daughters away, "Although I don't have to go to school today, I can't delay my homework. I have been playing with me for half a day, and it's time to go back to embroider and write. Also, in more than ten days It's your grandmother's birthday, you should prepare some affordable birthday gifts, and the most important thing is to put your heart into it..." He added what he hadn't finished before.

Obviously sitting quietly for half a day...

But now, Hui Niang didn't have the courage to say it directly, seeing that Wei Shi didn't seem to have anything else to say, she quietly pulled Lavniang's clothes, and the two sisters left Wei Shi's room together.Going back from Wei's yard to the old lady's yard, no matter whether you go through the front door or the back door, you have to take a short detour. The two sisters chose the front door to walk out of Wei's yard, and walked back through the small garden of Shangshu Mansion.

Fu Niang seemed to be still immersed in the little reverie about Wang Heng just now. On the way, Animian spoke to her a few times, but she ignored her. In the middle, I simply admired the scenery in the small garden.

In the small garden of Shangshu Mansion, there is a small peach grove—it is said to be a peach grove, but it is actually a small area clustered by seven or eight peach trees. The end of February is the season when peach blossoms are about to bloom. There are several peach blossoms hanging on the brown branches. Buds waiting to be released.As soon as the two sisters reached the edge of the peach forest, the wife's footsteps slowed down, and after a while, she gradually stopped, staring blankly at a budding flower on the branch.

The two sisters walked more than half of the way together, and after a short walk, they arrived at the old lady's yard. It's not good for Huiniang to leave her here and go back by herself—this is too obvious!She barely suppressed her annoyance, turned her head to look at Fu Niang and reminded her softly, "Sister, we are just ahead."

No, Fu Niang didn't intend to move at all, and after a while she let out a faint sigh.

This sigh seemed to be worth a thousand words, and it directly revealed what was on Funiang's mind. Huiniang could hear it clearly, but she didn't know what to say to comfort her sister.I'm just rejoicing from the bottom of my heart: Fortunately, when the two of them went to pay respects to the Wei family, they didn't bring maids with them. At that time, the maids and nurses beside Lingniang, Zhiniang, and Yinniang were all brought there, and now naturally they all stayed in Wei's yard. , Funiang's heartfelt sigh was not afraid of being spied on by other servants.

Fortunately, after letting out a sigh, Funiang seemed to have had enough venting in her emotions. She didn't linger here any longer, but put on a smile, and went back to the old lady holding hands and kissing Animian yard.

The two sisters parted ways at the entrance of the hall, Fu Niang walked west along the Chaoshou veranda to her small courtyard, and Hui Niang walked east to the East Wing.

"Young lady is back." As soon as she entered the door of the East Wing, Ban Xia immediately greeted her, "Your servant is thinking about it, why haven't you come back after going out for half a day?"

Wei Niang was startled, and asked casually, "Grandma is looking for me?"

Ban Xia smiled and shook her head, Hui Niang saw the pure concern in her eyes and warmth in her heart, she blinked, and replied lightly: "It's my wife's temporary visitor, it's inconvenient for us to come out , I just sat in the back room for a while, and waited for the guests to leave before I took my leave and came back." Although the words were not straightforward, they also vaguely expressed the meaning of "Don't worry, Wei Shi didn't deliberately embarrass me".

"The old lady just sent some fresh fruits to the girl." Some words were inconvenient to explain, and Ban Xia didn't intend to continue, so she naturally changed the topic, "It's the newly delivered apricots and plums."

These fruit snacks have been eaten by Wei's just now—they hid in Xili's room, so naturally they couldn't really sit still all the time, and the maids also gave some snacks to relieve boredom, but everyone was worried about their image. Willing to eat more.Anise had fewer worries than her sisters, so she ate a lot intermittently because she was bored.Seeing these fruits now, I don't want to eat any more.

"I'm going to my grandmother's house for lunch later, so I don't want to eat too much of these fruits now, let's put them on the table first." She ordered casually, and called Ban Xia again, "Come here, I have something I wanted to ask you."

Huiniang didn't enter the bedroom, but led Banxia into the room directly opposite the bedroom. That room was arranged as Huiniang's study and embroidery room. Sometimes, I will sit in it and do some needlework.The doors of the two rooms are facing each other, and when the door is not closed during the day, there is only a small outer room and a bead curtain between them, so Auntie can hear her shouts from the bedroom, which is very convenient.

"What is the girl's order?"

Animian sat in front of the embroidery frame, and stretched out her hand to flick the several colors of silk thread placed on the embroidery frame, "Today my wife said that next month is the eldest princess' birthday, let us all prepare some small gifts, which don't need to be expensive, The most important thing is to put your heart into it." Hui Niang had a half-smile on her face, and her tone was slightly sarcastic, "However, you can't be rude in front of others, you have to show it."

These few demands of Wei's are obviously to make things difficult for Hui Niang, but the embarrassment is just right, so that Hui Niang has no way to complain about her meanness.In fact, Hui Niang's husband in her previous life was also the grandson of the Eldest Princess. She had known about the preferences of the Eldest Princess, but she couldn't recall it—only that she seemed to prefer brighter colors. .What's more, even if she could remember the preferences of the eldest princess, she would have no money, let alone a way to buy those expensive gifts.

Ban Xia immediately showed a dazed expression, she raised her eyes, and waited intently for what Aninian said next.

"Sister Banxia also knows that I grew up in the Northwest, and I am not familiar with the preferences of the eldest princess. It is always right to think of sending some small pieces of embroidery, but after thinking about it, I don't know the current situation in the capital. What kind of fabrics and patterns are fashionable, I am afraid that the things I give away will lose face to my wife..." If Wei Shi is not satisfied with the things he gives away, it will give Wei Shi a chance to make trouble for himself.Before she finds a chance to change her destiny, Hui Niang still wants to live a good life, but she is not interested or in the mood to deal with Wei's constant troubles.
