[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Sun Xujian, Xu's parent, married a daughter of the Yu family in Suzhou. Because Lin Ruhai was busy with government affairs, Jia Min was asked to take the child to Xu's house to drink his nephew's wedding wine.

Mrs. Xu and her daughter-in-law were all beaming, and Yu Ming was dressed brightly and delicately; the newly cut silver-red pomegranate gauze dress looked slim, and she followed her mother demurely, showing everyone's demeanor with a smile and a frown.

Waiting for the door boy to report, the wedding party has arrived.

The guests went out with the host's house, and saw Xi Niang helping the bride off the sedan chair, and the groom's official Xu Jian, who was dressed in a wedding robe, held the bride's hand and came in to meet his parents and elders.Mr. Xu and Mrs. Li sat in the wedding hall of the main house, and the ceremonial officer sang lyrics. After the worship, the bride led the bride into the new house, and Xu Jian was dragged by relatives and friends to drink congratulatory wine.

The male guests had a banquet outside the courtyard, while the female guests accompanied Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Li to talk and drink.

Girls of Yanyu and Daiyu's age were arranged at the next table, accompanied by Yu Ming who was learning how to be a housekeeper from his mother.

Xu Yuming became more and more calm, his gradually growing face faded from childishness, and he sat among a group of girls of the same age and talked freely.When Mrs. Xu was an official butcher in Beijing, Xu Yuming was also a noble daughter who grew up surrounded by stars. It was not until Mrs. Xu returned home three years ago that she returned to Yangzhou.

Li's natal sister-in-law brought her eldest daughter Li Wen to congratulate her. Li Wen is one year older than Yanyu and Daiyu. She is a very shy and quiet girl. She sits next to Yu Ming and listens to their conversations. Two sentences.Yu Ming introduced them to each other, and Li Wencai looked at Yanyu and Daiyu curiously: "I heard that twin sisters look exactly alike, but the sisters of the Lin family don't look alike."

"Bingdi lotus are all similar, let alone a beautiful little girl." Yu Mingyan smiled.

"I also have five or six sisters in my family, but I have never had a girl as beautiful as the sister of the Lin family." Li Wen frowned and smiled beautifully.

Daiyu's fair cheeks were flushed, but Yanyu smiled and said, "Sister Wen's eldest sister is also the eldest sister-in-law of my maternal ancestor's family. My mother said that the eldest sister-in-law is gentle and virtuous, and she is the best woman in the world."

Li Wen also bowed his head with a smile.

The maid served ice bowls for the girls to cool off from the summer heat. The ice bowls topped with red bayberry juice were sour and sweet, and sprinkled with crisp dried fruits. The girls loved it.

Yuanyao saw Xu Jian being staggered towards the new house supported by two brothers, Yu Ming covered his lips and smiled lightly, and sighed regretfully: "The brothers and sisters-in-law have all gone to the new house to see the new sister-in-law, but unfortunately we can't go there."

Yanyu said caringly: "When you become an aunt in the future, there is nothing wrong with it."

Yu Ming was ashamed and annoyed, so he reached out to tap Yanyu's forehead: "You little girl! Don't talk nonsense!"

Daiyu and Li Wen also covered their lips and smiled lightly when they heard this, but accidentally knocked down the ice bowl on the table in front of them, and the ice water melted with red bayberry juice sprinkled on Yanyu and Daiyu's dresses, creating a bright color.

Yu Ming exclaimed in a low voice, and hurriedly asked the maid to take the sisters to change clothes.

Clean dresses are placed on the table, and the serving maids are only waiting outside the screen.

Yanyu was about to take off her clothes, but suddenly she smelled a faint smell of blood, and she became alert; following the strange smell, she was surprised to find a person hidden under the pear cloth.He curled up and hid under the case, and the smell of blood became stronger, but he was dressed in black but no wound could be seen.

Yanyu took two steps back in shock, and the maid who was waiting outside seemed to hear something strange and asked, "Sister Yan? Sister Yan?"

"I'm fine!" Yanyu hastily put down the pear cloth, raised her voice to respond, and lifted up the pear cloth to have a look.

The man curled up under the table seemed to hear the movement and slightly opened his eyes to look at Yanyu, moved the corners of his lips with difficulty, but lowered his eyelids again.

It really was him!Yanyu recognized his face, he had the same face as Tianxuan Xingjun.

After hesitating for a moment, Yanyu lowered her voice and said, "Who are you? Why are you here?"

The man didn't speak, then he heard a small voice from outside again, it should be that someone came to this side and asked: "Has my sister changed her clothes?" It was Daiyu's voice.

Yanyu frowned and glanced at the soaked skirt before responding: "Yu'er, you go to elder sister Ming first, I'll change my clothes before going over."

Apparently Daiyu was slightly puzzled for a moment, then agreed.

Hearing the footsteps outside gradually receding, Yanyu returned to the corner of the rolled up pear cloth, narrowed her eyes and looked at the man, and finally made up her mind.

Immortals all pay attention to fate; no matter what kind of relationship he has with Lord Tianxuan Xing, they are considered destined to meet here in the human world.

The thin spiritual power was condensed in her palm, and Yanyu slowly transmitted the spiritual power into his body.

Mu Yun was already dizzy, and only felt that he was wrapped in a cloud, and the severe pain gradually disappeared; when he opened his eyes again, he saw the girl with a stern look standing in front of him: "Today is the Xu family's great joy. On that day, you should leave as soon as possible!"

"Thank you Miss Lin." Mu Yun stood up staggeringly, only to see that his black robe was wet with blood.

Yanyu frowned invisibly, how did he know that she was the Lin family's daughter?Then remembering that this person seemed to be acquainted with her father and Mr. Zhao, he was slightly relieved.

Pushing open the window and door of the inner room, there was no one outside the corridor, and Mu Yun jumped out of the window and disappeared into the dusk.

After carefully closing the screen window, Yanyu changed out of the dress that was soaked in the ice water of sour plums, and put on a clean skirt to go out.

Going along the long corridor towards the main room, Daiyu and Li Wen were sitting by the waterside talking, Yu Ming smiled lightly when he saw Yanyu and stood up: "Sister Yan, why have you been here for so long?"

Yanyu smiled casually: "The wind outside is too strong, it messed up the clothes, so I delayed for a while."

"A group of officers and soldiers came just now, saying that our house is hiding fugitives, and they were finally sent away." Yu Ming sighed, and said that it was a good day for the eldest brother, but the celebration was ruined by bad luck.

"A fugitive?" Yanyu was stunned for a moment before pretending to be surprised, "I heard that bandits have made trouble recently, and now they are fugitives again, isn't it very dangerous?"

Yu Ming stirred the lily horseshoe soup in front of her thoughtfully, then shook his head: "I don't know about that."

Thinking of the seriously injured man she met just now, Yanyu became more and more suspicious, there must be something to do with it.

Daiyu and Li Wen took some jujube paste to feed the fish, and the beautiful koi gathered under the pavilion to grab food, and it was shining golden everywhere.

Li Wen teased the fish and said, "Go and take my mother and I to live with my uncle. There is a pond near my uncle's house. My sisters and I like to go fishing. The fish is so big and fat that it can be cooked in the kitchen." Soup. But neither mother nor aunt allowed us to go fishing by the pond.”

"Is that fish delicious?" Daiyu asked Li Wen, blinking her eyes.

"My cousin took me and my sister to grill the fish. I have never eaten such a delicious fish." Li Wen said happily, and took some jujube paste and sprinkled it into the water pavilion. Shuihua, "It's a pity that this koi can't be grilled. If there is a chance to take you to grill fish in the future, it will be a special taste."

After Li Wen got acquainted with them, he also revealed his lively nature, and it was also good to play with Daiyu.

Yan Yu and Yu Ming sat in the pavilion talking and laughing, and in the evening the maid served a soup of red dates and lotus seeds with rock sugar, eating the soup to soak up the happiness of the new couple.

Mrs. Xu left Yanyu and Daiyu to live in the mansion, and arranged for them to live in Yu Ming's yard; Yu Ming was always detained by Li's side to learn how to be a housekeeper, and now several cousins ​​live in the mansion. Only then was he allowed to come out to play with his cousins.

The Xu family's old house is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful mountains and clear waters. In summer, it is shrouded in light mist and looks like a fairyland.

"Sister Yan, look at that star!" Yu Ming leaned on the corridor and looked towards the night, pointing to the twinkling stars and said to Yan Yu, "When I was in Kyoto, I also liked to sit by the window and look at the stars. See that star." Listening to Yu Ming's tone, it seemed to be full of loss.

Yanyu also followed her gaze, and frowned thoughtfully, before she asked, "It is said that Yangzhou is a rich and noble place in the world, so how can the capital be a prosperous place?"

Yu Ming just smiled when he heard it: "I still remember the Qixi Festival four years ago, my mother took me to the gate tower to watch the lanterns, and suddenly the city was full of fireworks, like stars scattered all over the sky, it was really beautiful in the world." She turned her head and looked at Yanyu , but his eyes became serious and determined, "If you go to the capital one day, you can go to the north gate of the city to watch the Qixi Lantern Festival, or your life will be wasted."

Hearing what Yu Ming said, Yanyu became interested, but only said: "That's all for the future!"

Even if Yanyu is the Crimson Pearl Fairy who has lived for thousands of years, she still can't see through the girl sitting in front of her now.Xu Yuming has a lively and cheerful personality, just like her sister in Lihen Tiantian has the same temperament; however, Xu Yuming occasionally shows a preoccupied appearance, as if he has gone through vicissitudes, and behind that vaguely wry smile is endless sadness.

"Sister Ming, can you tell me more about what's going on in the capital?" Yanyu asked softly, pretending to be curious.

"There will be a chance in the future!" Yu Ming's expression gradually froze on his face, and it took a long time before he slowly started a gentle chuckle.

Daiyu and Li Wen were playing with the fish in the waterside pavilion, and came to look for Yu Ming and Yanyu after they finished feeding the fish with jujube paste.Yu Ming suppressed his melancholy, and said to them with a smile like a young lady: "You two sisters, come and have some soup! This red date and lotus seed soup is stewed with brown sugar, and my mother said it is most suitable for girls. "

Daiyu took a sip of the soup before nodding with a smile: "Sweet, the soup here is delicious too."

Li Wen was holding the ebony bowl, and the rich aroma of the soup hit her face. She bent her eyebrows and smiled and said, "My mother doesn't let me eat sweet ones, and even only allows me to eat a few candied lotus seeds in New Year's Eve."

Yu Ming raised his eyebrows, and stretched out his hand to snatch the jujube and lotus seed soup: "Then don't eat it, or my aunt will blame me."

"I've finished eating." Li Wen showed Yu Ming the ebony bowl with a bright smile, "It's fine if sister Ming doesn't tell mother." After thinking about it, he took off the sachet and gave it to Yan Yu and Dai Yu, "This is my The embroidered sachet will be given to the sister of the Lin family as a meeting gift."

The ziluo sachet is exquisitely embroidered. The sachet contains realgar, mugwort and atractylodes powder, which has a faint mint fragrance. Wearing it on the body in summer can repel insects and calm the mind.Li Wen's mother, Jiang's family, developed the blue-and-white embroidery that is now popular in Kyoto. She also inherited her mother's embroidery skills and has superb embroidery skills.

Yanyu and Daiyu thanked Li Wen, and Yu Ming stopped her: "Sister Wen can't treat one more than another."

Li Wen looked resentful: "Sister Ming doesn't like the silk handkerchief I gave you?"

Yu Mingming smiled softly: "Sister Wen's embroidery is exquisite, and I can't put it down; if you can guide us, maybe we can be one ten thousandth as good as you."
