[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

The next day, I went to the main courtyard to say hello to my mother. Jia Min was sitting on the Kang and listening to Yan'er studying; but when Yan'er saw the two sisters coming over, his eyes lit up immediately, and Jia Min knocked his hand with a fan: "Study hard!" " He called Jiang Bi over, "Come over and watch Brother Yan, let him finish reciting the sixth chapter of "The Analects of Confucius."

Jiang Bi followed Jia Min, and she was also literate. After listening to Jia Min's order, she came over with a smile: "Madam, don't worry."

Yan'er pursed her lips reluctantly, but had no choice but to shrink back and pick up the book to read. Yanyu and Daiyu both turned their backs and covered their lips and smiled lightly.

Jia Min and their sisters sat down in the front room and asked what their sisters were doing recently.

"I learned how to make embroidery from my mother." Daiyu's cheeks became slightly dizzy for no reason, and her voice became lower and lower.

Yanyu was embarrassed to say that she had nothing to do, so she just echoed Daiyu's words: "Yu'er embroiders are getting better and better. A while ago, Yuer embroidered a silk handkerchief for me, and I carry it with me every day." Said Then he took out the silk handkerchief and showed it to Jia Min.

Jia Min smiled and nodded: "Yu'er has worked hard! Yan'er, look at your sister."

Daiyu spoke for her sister: "That's why my sister drew red for me. Mother, my sister's paintings are getting better and better! My sister drew a lot of paintings for me, and I hung all of my sister's paintings in the room; In the future, when my sister becomes a famous master, these paintings will be handed down from generation to generation."

Hearing what she said, Jia Min couldn't help chuckling, but Yan Yu smiled happily: "You have a good idea."

Jia Min stroked the meticulously embroidered silk handkerchief, and then remembered the news from Jinling, and told her daughter: "There is news from the Li family in Jinling that the fourth master of the Li family is gone. It's just that it's a national funeral now, and we can't leave Beijing, so we just leave the capital." Let Guanshi Feng and Feng Yi's family go to Jinling to deliver the sacrifice."

The fourth master of the Li family is Mrs. Jiang's husband.Miss Jiang is pitiful, she is a widow at such a young age.

Suddenly hearing such bad news, the two sisters were a little surprised: "I have never heard of anything wrong with Mr. Li Si before, why did such a thing happen suddenly?"

"It's just that people have misfortunes and blessings." Jia Min sighed.

During the national mourning period, in order to avoid further accidents, the female family members of officials and eunuchs seldom leave the house, and they are also afraid of being violated by the officials.

Usually, Yanyu and Daiyu came to the main courtyard to greet their mother, had dinner with their mother and younger brother in the main courtyard, and then went back to the courtyard to play chess and embroider.

Coming out of the main courtyard and passing by the Ivy Flower Corridor, Yanyu raised her eyes subconsciously to look at the sky, feeling a little inexplicable and uneasy.

"Sister, I heard from Ye Zi that there were flying stars last night?" Daiyu asked her in a low voice while holding Yanyu's arm.

"I saw it too." Yanyu said with a certain sullenness.

"It is said in the book that when the flying stars appear, the Sirius moves, and the disaster of war begins." Daiyu hesitated for a while before she spoke again, "It is said in the courtyard that there will be war again. Throughout the ages, whenever flying stars appear, it is always accompanied by wars." .”

Yanyu has a different opinion: "It is true that the flying star has started a war. But why sometimes there is a war when the flying star does not appear?"

Daiyu tried hard to think back, but finally shook her head: "Could it be a coincidence?" Turning her head to meet her sister's smiling eyes, Daiyu suddenly felt a slight movement in her heart, a strange assumption formed in her heart, and she heard Yanyu lower her voice. He raised his voice and said: "At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a demon fox crying at night, Da Chuxing, and King Chen Sheng. Guess which one is more reliable, the demon fox or the flying star?"

"The theory of the demon fox is weird, but the flying star really appeared." Daiyu was faintly excited, and she already had an answer, "If someone believes in the theory of the demon fox, and believes that Chen She is going to revive the Chu Kingdom and become the king of Chu, who would believe that?" The number of people who caused the war disaster in Feixing should be even more numerous."

Flying stars appeared, and war broke out; no one knows when such rumors began to spread, but it has been deeply believed for thousands of years.

When the flying star appeared, people's hearts were shaken, so those guys who were ready to move thought it was God's will, so they raised their troops; since then, people have believed in the omen of the war disaster from the flying star, and since then, more fools who believe in the destiny have followed.

In fact, a certain Xingjun in Xingjun's mansion dozed off unintentionally, and the spiritual power of his fingertips turned into sparks, and it became the image of a flying star.

Only this time it seemed unusual.

Yanyu was clearly preoccupied, and went to her Nanjia Courtyard with Daiyu, and only came back to her senses when she smelled the faint fragrance of tea. Daiyu had already poured a cup of tea for her: "The cloud and mist boiled this morning , keep Yiqing warm."

"The tea has a strong fragrance, I like it very much." Yanyu said out of habit.

"You are too perfunctory! Just say that!" Daiyu knew her sister's nature well, and pouted when she heard her words.

Yanyu was really amused by Daiyu, and deliberately said solemnly: "I always tell the truth."

Daiyu pretended to ignore her, just picked up the embroidery frame on the table and embroidered two stitches, then put down her restraint and asked Yanyu: "Mother wants to add two more nuns to our courtyard, what's the matter?" What kind of regulations? It turns out that there are two foster nuns in the courtyard, and it is enough according to the rules."

"It's probably about time, and my mother is also in a hurry." Yanyu said something strange, lowering her eyelids.

After the national funeral, their sisters and Jiji will also be there. After the Jiji ceremony, Shi Jin and Daiyu will get married.

Normally, if she heard about her marriage in front of Jia Min, Daiyu would avoid it, but she was not too reserved in front of Yanyu: "But, sister, isn't your marriage still settled?"

Yanyu didn't raise her eyes, she was just playing with the emerald jade bracelet on her wrist, as if she was seriously looking at the bluish and white marks in the emerald jade bracelet.

"Sister!" Daiyu pulled Yanyu to get her attention, "Don't pretend you didn't hear! After all, mother is not here."

"Children's marriage is the fate of parents. Presumably, parents have already made arrangements, so it's not something we should worry about." Although Yanyu said this, she was worried in every possible way.

Mu Yun said that there would be no mistakes, but after thinking about it, she was still worried.

According to the rules of the world, a daughter must marry someone when she reaches the age.

After understanding this cognition, Yanyu is ready, ready to go to the countryside to follow the orders of her parents to marry a suitable person, and to be a good wife and mother who follows the rules.

She is different from Daiyu, Daiyu drank Mengpo soup and came down from the samsara dish in a serious manner, and when she returned to Lihentian, it was just a dream in thousands of years for everything in this life.But she came here with memories, these are the decades she has lived in the tens of thousands of years of practice, even if she takes off her physical body and returns to the fairy body in the future, the impact of this life on her is real.

But now, she happened to meet Tianxuan Xingjun who had a similar encounter with her, and it happened that Mu Lan had the same idea and purpose as her, so it would save a lot of unnecessary trouble, so why not do it.

When thinking of Mu Yun, the corners of Yanyu's lips raised slightly.

But seeing Daiyu was very anxious: "Sister, you must not be worried?"

Yanyu didn't understand: "What are you worried about? Parents will never pick someone who looks crooked."

Daiyu murmured to herself, "That's true."

"Have you ever met cousin Jin?" Yanyu poked her deliberately and asked with a smirk.

"No!" Daiyu immediately turned her back, Yanyu couldn't help but chuckle: "But how did I hear—" Yanyu purposely drew her tone long, seeing her sister pouted angrily, and said, "I I heard from Sister Xichun that Sister Yun from the Shi Family secretly slipped a painting for you, which is said to be the portrait of Cousin Jin?"

When this matter was mentioned, Daiyu was so angry that she ran into the room to show Yanyu the painting: "I really don't know who painted that painting, but it really surprised me."

Carefully unfolding the scroll, there is a young man in the painting; but the painter's workmanship is already evident, the face of the person in the painting really only has the simplest facial features, probably even Yan'er can draw it.

Yan Yu repeatedly said that she was guilty: "Drawing a good person like this will really anger the patriarch." Don't say that she has seen Shi Jin before, even if she hasn't seen it, she won't believe the evil of this painting.

"That's not the reason!" Daiyu echoed her sister's words.

"It's your rules." Yanyu teased her younger sister, "In the past, cousin Jin sent younger sister Yun to grandma's house several times. If I were you, I couldn't help being curious."

Daiyu then laughed: "Then it's better to have another chance in the future. My sister will help me to see what Cousin Jin looks like? As long as he is healthy and tidy, I have nothing more to ask for."

"You're such a wonderful joke!" Yanyu smiled and pretended to pat her with a fan, "Big Cousin Jin is a Tanhua Lang handpicked by the former emperor. Not only must he be knowledgeable, but he must also be the best looking Yes, it takes a lot of attention to be worthy of being a Tanhua Lang; um—just like our father."

"That's my mother's good fortune!" Daiyu smiled.

"Yu'er will be very lucky in that day." Yan Yu was not stingy about it.

Daiyu turned her head angrily, and continued to pick up the embroidery frame to embroider the orchid with only four petals.

In the afternoon, Yanyu went back to the courtyard and was about to take a nap when she saw Jin Qing hurriedly took off her cloth shoes and walked to the corridor. Girl, my wife sent two more nuns to our yard, saying that they were to be nuns for the girl. So Mammy Liu ordered a room in the back to be tidied up for the two nuns to live in temporarily. lived with us."

Nursing mothers have always been strict, and young maids like Jin Qing and the others are not seen playing around, so all the little maids are avoiding nurturing nuns; but now Liu mammy is letting nuns live in the back room , so that they can't avoid it even if they want to look up and look down.

Yanyu also frowned slightly.

I thought my mother was just going to send nuns to Yu'er's courtyard, but I didn't expect to put two nuns to Moyi courtyard even after the rain and dew covered the ground; It's not easy to get involved in the national funeral, just as Mu Yun said, after the national funeral is the time for Xiaoding.

It's just that the Erlang who both parents like is Mu Ran?After all, she had no idea.
