[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Yan'er had been ill on and off for more than a month before he finally recovered. Jia Min was so happy that he went to pray to the gods and worship Buddha, and went to Liangguang Temple to donate lamp oil, saying that it was to accumulate blessings for Yan'er.

Yanyu knelt on the futon, and when she looked up, she saw the benevolent Buddha slightly bowing his head and looking down at all living beings.

"Sister." Yan'er rubbed against Yanyu's side and called softly.

"Yan'er." Yanyu hugged Yan'er and talked to him in a low voice. When Daiyu came in, she happened to see them talking next to each other, so she smiled and said, "Now Yan'er is getting closer to my sister."

Yan'er immediately burst into joy when she heard Daiyu's voice: "Second sister!"

Daiyu sat down beside Yanyu as before, and said with a smile, "Yan'er looks much better now."

Yan'er nodded obediently: "Second sister, don't worry, Yan'er doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore; from now on, Yan'er will definitely listen to her mother and sister, and don't let mother and sister worry." Yan'er said very seriously, looking young and mature I don't know who I learned from.

Yanyu caressed him affectionately, but her expression was thoughtful.

During the years when Lin Ruhai served as the inspector of salt in Yangzhou, he also had a slight friendship with Zhen Shiyin.

After a few days, Mrs. Zhen, Fengshi, brought her daughter Yinglian over for a walk. Jia Min went into the house to talk with Fengshi, and asked Yanyu and Daiyu to play with Yinglian.

Yinglian is a little older, her young age has already seen her good looks in the future.

Daiyu has always liked Yinglian, so she dragged her to see her younger brother when they met and said happily: "Sister Yinglian, my younger brother is very obedient, if you touch him, he will be obedient and not noisy. "Yanyu followed a step behind, and just heard her sister's words, she couldn't help but chuckled; her younger sister's tone of offering treasures, as if Yan'er was a rare treasure she had hidden, and now that Yinglian came over, she couldn't wait to share it with her little sister with.

Thinking of Daiyu's love for Yan'er the most, Yanyu understood.

"I've seen your little brother!" Yinglian laughed. "Back then, Brother Yan was still a baby, and he was held in the arms of the nanny. Everyone laughed when he saw it."

Hearing Yinglian talk about her baby brother's situation when she was a baby, Daiyu covered her lips and smiled happily: "That's not true! My Yan'er laughs when she sees everyone, and she likes to follow me and my sister the most!"

While talking, turning the corner from the veranda, I saw Yan'er playing with a pottery ring ball in the yard. The pottery ring ball was filled with fine stones, and it made a rustling sound when shaken.

Looking up and seeing her sister coming, Yan'er was so happy that she put down Tao Xiangqiu and got up and ran over. The wet nurse hurriedly followed behind: "Brother Yan, hurry up, don't fall!"

It was the first time Yan'er saw Yinglian, and she was very curious about this beautiful young lady, so Daiyu pulled him and said, "Yan'er, this is Sister Yinglian, I told you before!"

"Sister Yinglian!" Although Yan You was a little dazed, she obediently called out.

"Sister Yan, sister Yu, your younger brother is so kind!" Yinglian looked at Yan'er and said to their sisters enviously.

After a little thought, Yinglian took off the jade pendant she was wearing and put it on Yan'er, smiling: "Take it as a gift from me to Brother Yan."

Yan'er took the jade pendant and obediently thanked Yinglian.

Yanyu also smiled and said, "Sister Yinglian has met Yan'er before, so why are you talking about meeting ceremony now?"

Ying Lian turned her head annoyed: "Take it as if I like Brother Yan. Brother Yan is loved by others, and I really like him very much!"

Yanyu chuckled; she knew why her younger sister and Yinglian got together, they even spoke in such a similar tone.

Because Yan'er is a boy, and now there are outsiders here, Yan'er can't play with his sisters, so the wet nurse carries Yan'er down.

Entering the room and sitting down at the flower round table, Yubai hurriedly poured tea for the girls, and Daiyu asked Yinglian what she did at home.

"Just reading a few books." Yinglian smiled and said softly, "My father taught me to read a few words, or embroidered flowers and tasted tea with my mother."

"I heard that Master Zhen's knowledge is also very good!" Yanyu heard what she said, and then answered.

Ying Lian nodded with a smile: "Daddy has nothing to do at home, so he taught me to read and write."

Yanyu nodded secretly, probably fathers like to teach their children to read, and Lin Ruhai often guided their sisters when they were young.

Yinglian showed Daiyu the sachet she usually embroidered. She heard that Daiyu had learned embroidery skills from Miss Jiang, and she admired Miss Jiang's reputation, so she asked Daiyu for advice.

Qingxiu embroidery is Miss Jiang's unique skill. Although it is well-known, few people can understand its true skill; the only disciple under Mrs. Jiang's sect is Xue Luo, and she has only got some inheritance from Mrs. Jiang, and nothing else is mentioned. .Like Yanyu, Daiyu and the rest of the female students who studied with Mrs. Jiang in the Southern Academy, although they only had a few pointers from Mrs. Jiang, they were already very good—except Yanyu, who consciously studied art. It's embarrassing to Mr.

Daiyu took the sachet and looked at the patterned totem, the simple lotus with lotus pattern, Daiyu thought for a while before talking with Yinglian.

Yanyu couldn't quite understand what they were talking about, so she sat down behind the piano case and fiddled with a few tunes.

Daiyu and Yinglian had a very happy chat, from needlework and embroidery skills to poetry and poetry; usually, they both have a quiet and gentle temperament, but they didn't expect to be able to talk so much after opening the chatter.

After a while, Yiyue came in and said: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss, Miss Zhen, the wife has set up dinner, I'm calling you over."

A few of them got up, chatted and laughed, went to the main room, said goodbye to Jia Min and Feng Shi, and then sat down at the bottom.

Jia Min also liked Yinglian very much, and asked Yinglian carefully what she was doing at home. Hearing that she was learning to write, she asked Jiang Bi to fetch a set of Liu Yan for Yinglian.

"My sister is about the same age as my two children, and they play well together, but they are reserved in front of us." Jia Min couldn't help chuckling when she saw Yinglian's timid appearance sitting beside Feng.

"This child is quite used to it at home. The master loves her, so he raised her like a brother; I was afraid of raising a wild temper, so I was only detained for a few days." Feng looked at her daughter with a gentle smile.

"My two sons are also like this!" Jia Min smiled lovingly.

Yanyu and Daiyu were sitting next to each other and talking softly, and sometimes exchanged eyebrows with Yinglian who was sitting across from her, which made Feng also laugh: "Looking at the two girls, Zhong Lingyuxiu, if my sister can look a little like her , I am very happy.”

Jia Min saw the movements of the girls just now, and only smiled lightly: "It's fate for the girls to play together. Yu'er is also learning poetry and books, so they can talk together."

Jiang Bi came in with her maid and set the meal, and then Jia Min brought Feng and a few children over.

After dinner, Jia Min still let them go to play by themselves. She and Feng Shi were talking in the room, and it was not until late in the evening that Feng Shi took Yinglian to leave and go back.

Later, the Feng family brought Yinglian to the mansion to play, Daiyu was very happy, and loved to discuss poetry and books with Yinglian, and even took Yinglian to read history.

Ying Lian looked a little hesitant: "My father doesn't let me read history books."

"It's good to read history wisely." Daiyu said disapprovingly.

Yanyu understood.

Even many girls from prominent families can't read a few words, let alone such romantic and elegant things as reciting poems and writing Fu.It has always been said that the masterpieces of historians are read by Erlang, for the purpose of becoming famous in the future; as for the daughter of the boudoir, even if she can read and write, it is just a romantic affair, and it is just for the fun of the boudoir.

Seeing them talking together, Yanyu played the piano behind the case as before.

"Sister Yu, Sister Yan also plays the piano well!" Yinglian pulled Daiyu and bit her ear.

Daiyu smiled and dyed her brows: "My elder sister is the best at playing the piano."

Yinglian's eyes sparkled: "What about you?"

"I am not as good as my sister." Daiyu said with a smile.

"Sister Yan is very calm and mature, just like a big sister." Yinglian smiled with two small dimples on her cheeks, her sweet appearance was very lovable.

Yanyu could hear the two of them muttering, she still had a smile on her face, she pointed to the sound of the zither.

It's just that Daiyu and Yinglian have only played together five or six times. Watching Yan'er rest in Yangzhou for more than a month after recovering from illness, Jia Min also took a few children to Beijing.

Before leaving, the Xu family's aunt came to invite the two sisters to go to the house to play. Jia Min thought that it would be difficult to meet again in the future, so he asked Qian Guanshi and his wife to escort Yanyu and Daiyu to Xu's primary school. After staying for a few days, I also bid farewell to the Xu family.

Yu Ming is wearing a light green dress, which fits very well with the blue beige, but looks even more elegant.

Seeing their sisters, Yu Ming's eyes were red, he turned his body and wiped his tears with a silk handkerchief before coming forward: "Yan'er, Yu'er."

Together they went to the main room to greet Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li, and after talking with them for a while, Mrs. Xu ordered the old woman to tidy up the side room for Cousin, and to get closer to Miss Wu so that They talk together.

Yu Ming's expression was melancholy, and only when he heard his grandmother say this did he show a little joy: "Thank you grandma, thank you mother."

Mrs. Xu looked over at Yu Ming, and couldn't help frowning: "Miss Ming is also dressed more plainly." Then she ordered Mrs. Li, "Go get some bolts of satin and cut some new clothes for Miss Ming. You are young. The little girl is at the age when she is full of flowers, so she should dress more delicately."

Yu Ming's expression did not change, he still thanked Mrs. Xu.

Knowing that there was no meeting for many years at this time, Yu Ming dragged their sisters and talked a lot, and when Jia Min sent someone to pick up their sisters, Yu Ming still reluctantly dragged them to tell them : "When you go to Kyoto, remember to write to me from time to time."

Yanyu responded well: "Sister Ming, don't worry."

"Take care!" Yu Ming's lips twitched slightly, he hesitated before saying in a low voice.

"Thank you sister Ming, I will." The two sisters agreed.
