[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

The dealer's flower banquet is the same as usual, the flower hall is filled with the fragrance brought from the greenhouse, and the fruit wine is more fragrant than flowers and plants.

Grandma Zhuang Qi, the youngest daughter-in-law of Zhuang Shishi, is leading a group of girls to talk. She is younger than the sisters-in-law and speaks wittily. The girls like to surround her.Grandma Zhuang walked into the room with the Lin sisters on her arms, and said to them with a smile: "My seventh siblings are smart and well-behaved, but mothers and aunts like them the most."

Because Mr. Zhuang Qi had been studying abroad, Grandmother Zhuang Qi also accompanied him, so this was the first time that the sisters of the Lin family met the seventh cousin of the Zhuang family.

Seventh Grandma has a beautiful face and a beautiful face, every frown and smile has her own charm, and she advances and retreats gracefully. This kind of woman has always been the most likable.

"Sister-in-law, you are here!" Grandma Zhuang Qi turned around and smiled when she saw them, "These are the two younger sisters from my aunt's family, right? They are really iconic girls."

Yanyu smiled rather than: "Qi Cousin looks very kind, maybe we are still old friends in a dream." Daiyu also nodded in response to her sister's words.

Grandma Zhuang Qi was taken aback when she heard the words, then covered her lips and smiled and said, "Maybe this is the fate between me and my sister Lin."

When a group of people entered the room, the flowers were in full bloom and fragrant; after they were seated, the maids brought fruit wine and enjoyed themselves for a while.

The Zhang family sisters, Liu Ning'an, Xiangyun and others who were usually close to Yanyu and Daiyu were arranged to sit opposite each other. Yanyu and Daiyu were talking in a low voice next to each other. Ma Linfei at the table held up a wine cup and congratulated them from afar.

Although Shan Guogong's mansion was married to the Zhen family, it was not implicated after the defeat of the Zhen family.Zhen Yan has been married to Shan Guo's stallion Ma Sanye for many years, and now she has both children. Even now that the Zhen family is in decline, she still works hard as her Ma Sanye's grandma.

Ma Linfei has already made an engagement with her cousin, Qi Tong's elder brother Qi Erye, and the date of the wedding is just two days before Yanyu leaves the cabinet.

Seeing Ma Linfei raising his glass, Yanyu and Daiyu also raised their glasses to Ma Linfei.

"I haven't seen the two younger sisters for a long time." Ma Linfei smiled, probably because of drinking two cups of sake, his cheeks were stained with a few streaks of blush, as if he had rubbed a little rouge.

"Sister Lin Fei is a busy person, so it doesn't look like we have nothing to do at home." Daiyu said with a smile.

Ma Linfei drank another half of the glass of wine, and looked at it as if she was using it to relieve her sorrow; the big maids waiting behind her all stepped forward to persuade her in a low voice, and ordered to serve sour plum soup in front of Ma Linfei. fruit wine.

The fruit wine is sweet and not easy to be intoxicated.

It's just that Ma Linfei seemed to have a lot of depression in his heart, and he tried to hide the depression in his heart with the faint feeling of alcohol.

"Sister Lin Fei, don't drink too much! It's not good for your health." Daiyu said to her in a warm voice.

Ma Linfei held the celadon bowl of sour plum soup in both hands and drank with his head down. He lowered his eyes and nodded when he heard her say, "Thank you."

Over there, Grandma Zhuang was talking with the grandma of the Xu family, Yushi, and Grandma Zhuang Qi came over to chat with them, for fear that the reception at the flower banquet might not be well received.

Seeing Grandma Zhuang Qi whispering something to Ma Linfei in a soft voice, Yanyu leaned into Daiyu's ear and whispered, "I'm afraid there is another reason for seeing Miss Lin Fei like this."

Daiyu nodded: "Sister Lin Fei seemed to want to say something just now."

Originally, Ma Linfei's situation looked very bad, but there have been a lot of unforeseen events in recent days, but it is not sure what it is.

If we talk about the flower banquet of the Zhuang family, it still has the meaning of a Hongmen banquet.

Yanyu raised her head inadvertently, and carefully looked at Grandma Zhuang Qi's smiling side face, a strange feeling spread from her heart.

"Yu'er, have we met the seventh cousin of the Zhuang family before?" Yanyu asked in a low voice.

"In the past, cousin Zhuang Qi was studying abroad, and he never met sister-in-law Qi!" Daiyu was sure that she had never met Grandma Zhuang Qi, but she didn't know why her sister suddenly asked about it.

"I think sister-in-law Qi is very familiar, she seems to look like someone we know." Yanyu muttered.

Only then did Daiyu carefully pick up Grandma Zhuang Qi in large quantities, and Grandma Zhuang Qi also realized something and turned her head, Daiyu quickly straightened her body and pretended to be nonchalant.

Grandma Zhuang Qi called her mother-in-law to the kitchen to bring up all kinds of cakes prepared early in the morning, the most of which were flower cakes; The layers of the cake are yellow and white, and there is a layer of candied sweet-scented osmanthus sprinkled on top, which is very suitable for this flower feast.

"I just brewed rose dew this spring, girls, do you want to try something new?" Grandma Zhuang Qi said with a smile, and ordered the rose dew to be served to all the girls to taste.

Xiangyun was amazed when he tasted it carefully: "This rose dew is really unique!"

Grandma Zhuang Qi smiled: "If Sister Yun likes it, I will specially save a jar for you when you spend next year."

"In this case, I have to thank my sister-in-law Seven in advance." Xiangyun happily agreed.

Yanyu also took a sip of the rose dew, and the rich rose fragrance spread from the tip of her tongue, as if she had been bathed in a sea of ​​roses, the only fragrance left in the world.

In fact, she doesn't like this kind of rose fragrance, which is offensive. It seems that the fragrance of roses is kept indefinitely just to captivate the eyes at this moment.

She suddenly thought of Yu Mingniang's rose dew, the light and gentle fragrance seemed to still exist between her lips and teeth.

However, she still laughed with her as usual, and she heard Grandma Zhuang walking behind Grandma Zhuang Qi with a smile and jokingly saying: "She can't bear to be praised! If you praise her again, she will be happy to get her mother." Come forward to invite credit."

"Sister-in-law! How can I be so narrow-minded." Grandma Zhuang Qi said angrily and annoyed.

Everyone laughed, and Grandma Zhuang Qi just sipped and laughed without saying a word.

Ma Linfei lowered his head and drank the sour plum soup with tears in his eyes, and seemed out of tune with the laughter; Qi Tong seemed to have noticed the strangeness here, and lifted a corner of his skirt to go around the wine table to Ma Linfei, but accidentally brushed his sleeve The sour plum soup on the table, the light brown soup immediately stained Qi Tongyuebai's clothes.

Ma Linfei let out a cry of surprise, and Qi Tong turned around and whispered to Grandma Zhuang, "I accidentally got wet, so I'll go change and come back."

Grandma Zhuang asked the big maid beside her to lead Qi Tong to the dressing room, and Qi Tong pulled Ma Linfei: "Will you come with me?"

Ma Linfei half covered his face and got up silently and followed Qi Tong out.

Grandma Zhuang Qi heard the movement here and looked around for a while before returning to the seat with Grandma Zhuang.

"Sister——" Daiyu called Yanyu, Yanyu was still a little dazed and didn't come back to her senses, she looked at her sister after a moment of daze: "Huh? What's wrong?"

Daiyu sighed: "Sister, what are you thinking about? You are so preoccupied, I thought you were drunk just now."

Yanyu couldn't laugh or cry: "What nonsense are you talking about!"

Only then did Daiyu signal her to look behind with her eyes, and then she said with high spirits: "Sister Lin Fei is not in a good marriage? When I went out with Sister Qi Tong just now, I seemed to see tears in her eyes."

"But her marriage with Second Master Qi is scheduled for the beginning of April." Yan Yu frowned as if thinking.

"Sister Lin Fei and Second Master Qi are childhood sweethearts, and Sister Lin Fei always wears a green bamboo sachet; I heard that Sister Ning An said that it was given to her by Second Master Qi when he was accepting the levy. Sister Lin Fei likes it very much. Daiyu bit her ear with her sister, and she was very interested in talking about Ma Linfei and Second Master Qi, "But just now I really saw that Lin Fei didn't bring that green bamboo sachet."

Yan Yu listened with great interest: "Why is Ning An still talking to you like this?"

According to this, not to mention that Ma Linfei dared to directly wear the token of love between her and the second master Qi, it can be seen that Ma Linfei has deep affection for her cousin; but now Ma Linfei is uncharacteristically not Bringing the green bamboo sachet with him is very likely to be related to Qi Erye.

"The matter between Sister Lin Fei and Second Master Qi is not a secret in the capital. Everyone knows that Sister Lin Fei has deep affection for Second Master Qi." Daiyu didn't take it seriously at all.

While they were talking, Ma Linfei and Qi Tong left and returned.Ma Linfei's expression was still lonely and gloomy, and when he returned to his seat, he just lowered his head and stared at the glass of wine on the table in a daze; Qi Tong, who was chatting and laughing with the left and right before, was also frowning, as if he was very worried about something .

After all, it's someone else's business, Yanyu and Daiyu just pretend they don't know about it.

After the banquet, the group went to the greenhouse to enjoy the flowers, and the sisters of the Lin family deliberately stayed behind to talk to Liu Ning'an.

Liu Ning'an waved his feather fan casually, like an unfathomable expert.

"Lin Fei is going to marry, maybe she is attached to her parents." Liu Ning'an covered her face with her fan and said in a low voice.

Suddenly, Sheng Ping in front of her was amazed as if she had discovered something strange, and everyone gathered around to look at each other, and they all chattered, "It's actually twin twin flowers, it's an auspicious sign!"

It is really a rare sight for two peonies, one red and one white, to stand next to each other.

However, Liu Ning'an's face suddenly changed, and he retreated from the crowd before talking to Daiyu in a low voice: "Flowers have no two colors, and a country has no two masters, I'm afraid it's a disaster rather than a blessing."

As soon as this remark came out, even the omen of auspiciousness became an ominous flower.

Bingdi flowers are originally auspicious, but this flower has two colors, so people have to make a big fuss about it.

"A flower has no two colors, and a country has no two masters?" Yan Yu whispered, staring at the flower.

Even in Baihua Division, she had never seen double-colored flowers, which was even more inconceivable than the begonias blooming against the clock outside Qingping Temple, and she couldn't explain where the evil spirit was responsible for the double-colored flowers.

But it's just a mere flower, can it really have such power?Wouldn't it be as vain as the flying star rumors?

But I don't know who said something, the girl from the Lin family is not twins, so she turned around and called Sister Yanyu and Daiyu.

The two red and white peonies are swaying in the wind, the red peony is extremely gorgeous like vermilion, and the white peony is pure and flawless like an untouched fairy from the world; the two flowers complement each other, but there is an indescribable weirdness.

Yanyu cheered up and said with a smile: "I and Yu'er are both daughters, how can I be compatible with that white peony?"

Grandma Zhuang laughed lightly when she heard this: "Red and white peonies, that means good things come in pairs."

Yanyu lowered her eyes and said nothing, the wind seemed to blow some fragrance of flowers, which seemed to be intoxicating.
