[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Princess Changqing's daughter-in-law Mrs. Qin is a well-known benevolent person in the capital, and she looks kind and kind.

Now Princess Changqing is out of business, and Madam Qin is in charge of everything in the house; the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Dong, also follows Madam Qin to help take care of her, and the girls are arranged to have a banquet in the flower room. Greet all the ladies and wives.

Mrs. Qin's maiden name is Zhang, and she is the little aunt of sisters Yingping and Shengping.

"Sister Min." Madam Qin smiled when she saw Jia Min, and warmly put her arm on Jia Min and called her in, "My mother-in-law heard that you are here, let me wait for you to take you to see her!"

Jia Min smiled and said: "Princess Lao Chang remembers it, but it is really my fault."

Mrs. Qin dragged Jia Min into the house, and sisters Yanyu and Daiyu went to play with the girls in the flower room.

Xue Luo, who had just taken off his clothes, was also at the banquet, talking with Jiang Shi; although he was still dressed in green and blue clothes, he was not as cold as before, and seemed to be a little warmer.

But when Sheng Ping saw their sisters, she stood up and happily said to them, "Sister Yan, Sister Yu."

"Sister Sheng Ping." Calling Sheng Ping in a low voice, Yanyu raised her eyes and saw Xue Luo looking back at them. Her eyes were dark, like a bottomless cold pool engulfing them.

She still remembered that Xue Luo was sitting under the pavilion and blowing the willows, the willows were exhausted and the willows were scattered.

Xue Luo evoked a weird smile: "Sister Lin, goodbye to school, long time no see."

Apparently Xue Luo didn't want to mention the fact that she and Yanyu met behind Qingping Temple, and Yanyu knew what she meant.

After Xue Luo got rid of her clothes, her eldest sister, Concubine Zhao, was worrying about her younger sister's marriage, so the Li family came to propose marriage; the fourth wife of Li led the red line, and asked Mrs. Jiang to be the big matchmaker to propose marriage to Xue Luo for the third son of the Li family.

The marriage between the Li family and the Xue family is scheduled to begin in the spring of next year, and now Xue Luo is a daughter waiting to be married.

What I know is that Mrs. Jiang accepted Xue Luo as an inner disciple, so she wanted to marry Xue Luo in as the daughter-in-law of the Li family; My younger sister climbed into in-laws with the emperor's relatives.

Daiyu didn't know what happened before, when she saw Xue Luo, she just smiled and said, "Sister Luo, are you there?"

"Sister Lin J, come and sit down!" Xue Luo smiled, and pulled Daiyu to sit between her and Jiang Shi.

Yanyu and Sheng Ping sat down on the other side to talk, and Sheng Ping chattered to Yanyu: "I wanted to bring my Xiaoqi here, but my mother refused, saying that Xiaoqi is still young, and I will wait for you to come." She can only come out to play when she grows up."

Listening to Sheng Ping's three words of never leaving her sister, Yanyu couldn't help but feel bright: "When I was young, my Yu'er was also covered with ice and snow. I was really afraid that Yu'er would be kidnapped by someone, but it made me worry."

Sheng Ping felt weird when she heard her words, and looked back at Daiyu who was talking to Xue Luo and Jiang Shi, she was very confused: "I remember that you and sister Yu are twin sisters, they should be the same age." Listen With Yanyu's tone, it seems that she is three or five years older than Daiyu.

Yanyu smiled lightly and said, "Maybe I remember things earlier."

Sheng Ping looked back at her sister Yingping, obviously Yingping heard what they said, but raised her eyebrows and said indifferently: "Even if I remember things late, I still remember your stupid things in the past."

"My sister always loves to mock me." Sheng Ping pouted angrily.

"You have brothers and sisters, which is the greatest blessing." Yanyu told her sternly, "I still want to have a good sister who loves me!"

While they were talking, they overheard the girl sitting by the glazed flower stand asking Qi Tong: "Why haven't I seen Ning An recently? Do you know why?"

Qi Tong sighed: "A few days ago I went to Duke Li's mansion, and my aunt said that Ning An was ill."

Seeing that the girl is dressed luxuriously and wears a purple gold hairpin crown on her temples, she should be Yimeng, the princess of Nan'an.

Hearing that Liu Ning'an was ill, the girls all looked over and listened carefully, but Qi Tong didn't speak anymore.

"After all, I haven't seen Ning An for a long time. Do you know what kind of illness I have? Is it still serious?" Jiang Shi asked.

"I haven't seen Ning An either. I only heard from my aunt that she was caught in the cold spring." Qi Tong didn't seem to want to say much, so he simply said.

Yanyu recalled what Liu Ning'an said, it seems that the situation in Li Guogong's mansion is not good now, but it is because of the family ugliness that it must not be publicized, so it has been covered and has not been spread out.

She also acted as if she didn't know anything, and made a worried expression: "I saw Sister Ning An at the spring banquet and she was fine."

Sheng Ping shook her feather fan lightly, and sighed, "This year's weather is not good. It's cold again after spring, which is different from previous years." After a pause, she moved closer to Yanyu, covered her face with her feather fan, and said in a low voice, " I heard that the two begonias in front of Qingping Temple are blooming. My mother said that if flowers bloom against the clock, there must be demons. This spring, my mother went to Fu’an Temple in the south of the city to pray for blessings.”

If it is said to bloom against the clock, Yanyu guessed that the begonia fairy in Baihua Division had taken a nap and had no intention of delaying the blooming of begonias from last autumn until this spring.

However, everyone in the world firmly believes in the saying that "when flowers bloom against the times, there must be monsters", and she is not easy to win the hearts of the world.

But Yingping glanced lightly at Shengping and coughed lightly: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Sheng Ping immediately put down her feather fan and sat upright, her eyes flickering with panic.

The other girls were talking to each other, apparently no one noticed what they were saying.

At this moment, seeing Mrs. Qin coming in with the help of Princess Changqing, the girls quickly stood up and saluted Princess Changqing.

Princess Nan'an was familiar with Princess Changqing, so she smiled lightly and said, "Princess Chang! My concubine asked me to say hello to Princess Changqing on her behalf."

Concubine Nan'an was originally the princess of the Jiang family, and later she was given a marriage to the late Nan'an County King, so she should be the niece of Princess Changqing.

Seeing Princess Nan'an, Princess Changqing smiled kindly and touched her hand: "Yimeng'er! What is your mother and concubine doing at the mansion? She can always find excuses not to visit me."

Princess Nan'an hurriedly laughed and said, "The eldest princess has wronged my mother and concubine! It's just that for some reason, the imperial concubine in the palace suddenly called my mother, concubine and sister-in-law into the palace to talk. This is really helpless."

Princess Changqing's expression did not change, she still smiled and pulled Princess Nan'an to sit down on the red sandalwood chair supported by Mrs. Qin, and said to the girls in the room: "Don't hold back here, everyone sit down !"

The girls thanked Princess Changqing before they sat down as usual.

"This is the child of Miss Min's family!" Princess Chang Qing asked gently after scanning it over.

The eyes in the room suddenly fell on their sisters, and Yanyu Daiyu hurriedly got up and saluted the eldest princess Changqing again: "my little girl pays homage to the eldest princess."

Princess Changqing's expression became more and more amiable: "Sit down. I'm always casual, and you don't have to be polite here." Looking at their sisters, Princess Changqing laughed again, "I used to hear The old lady of the Rongguo Mansion mentioned that Miss Min got two girls, but you had never met them in Yangzhou before. Seeing you now, Miss Tong Min really looks alike." Then she turned to Mrs. Qin and said, "It can be seen that Mr. Shi has not Coax me."

When she first saw Princess Changqing, she was praised so much. Sisters Yanyu and Daiyu bowed their heads shyly. Mrs. Qin answered Princess Changqing's words: "In the future, my sister will often come to play. The princess sees you young girls. , can be very happy."

The eldest princess of Changqing, Xu Shi, really liked all the girls, so she asked the sisters of the Zhang family and the others, but when she saw Xue Luo, she beckoned her to her side: "Luoer, come to me. I haven't seen you in many years." It's your turn, and you're all grown up now."

"Auntie." Xue Luo came to Princess Changqing and called out in a low voice.

Princess Changqing took off the wishful beads on her neck and put them on for Xue Luo: "I heard from your sister-in-law that you are betrothed to the Li family's child. This wishful bead was given to me by Empress An when I came out. Put it on, and now it will add makeup for you."

Xue Luo always seemed to be wrapped in a cold shell, and the cold wishful beads hung around her neck, which tore a few cracks from her cold shell: "Aunt Xie."

Her face was always covered with the indelible ice of ten thousand years, and only a little bit of sadness flashed just now.

A banquet was set up in the front hall, and the girls' seats were seated close to the waterside pavilion, and it happened that Yanyu's seat was next to Xue Luo's.

The wine cup is filled with clear water, exuding a faint fragrance of green plums; Xue Luo picked up the wine cup to sip carefully, and then heard Yanyu's voice: "Sister Luo's green embroidery is still so superb."

The silk handkerchief embroidered with two willow leaves was blown to the ground by the wind. Xue Luo turned around and picked up the handkerchief after hearing the words: "Thank you sister Yan for reminding me."

"Sister Luo smells like snow." Yanyu looked at Xue Luo and said with a light smile, as if she was just talking casually.

"Huh?" Xue Luo was surprised, and Yanyu continued: "Who knows if the willows were broken last night and the willows were scattered?"

The wine cup in Xue Luo's hand trembled slightly, and half of it had spilled onto the dress.

Yanyu looked surprised, Xue Luo got up: "I didn't intend to get wet, sister Yan, would you like to accompany me to the dressing room to change clothes?"

"But it's disrespectful." Yan Yu also stood up and followed Xue Luo.

The two walked side by side on the carved veranda, and the laughter gradually faded under the pavilion, before Xue Luo slowed down: "Sister Yan, do you have anything to say to me? Now only you know and I know, but it's okay to say."

Yan Yu secretly sighed that Xue Luo was really smart, she turned her head and said softly: "The world says that women should live in the backyard, and the etiquette is strict. I am afraid that I will hurt my mother and sister, so I dare not speak nonsense."

"Last night, when the willows were folded late at night, who knew that the willows were scattered? Now when you come to fold the willows, the willows will fly down and fill the city with smoke." Xue Luo's eyes burned, "How do you know this sentence?"

"A strange man passed by once, and he told me this poem." Yanyu's tone was sincere, but she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart; since Xue Luo wanted to recite this Yangliu ballad, she was willing to continue this topic with her. "The strange man said that he once saw a couple put paper kites on the willow embankment, and they sang this willow ballad."

These things were told by Mu Yun.

The Ballad of Yangliu was written by Princess Heqing to her son-in-law Xue Song.Princess Heqing and Xue Song love each other. They once placed paper kites on the willow embankment, and Xue Song played the willow ballad to the princess.

Such half-truths and half-false words are enough to make Xue Luo suspicious.

Sure enough, seeing Xue Luo's eyes become erratic, he pondered for a long time before asking: "That strange man, what else did he say?"

Yan Yu breathed a sigh of relief: "The green chrysanthemums behind Qingping Temple are blooming."

Xue Luo's expression changed drastically, as if he couldn't believe it.
