The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

Walking to the pier in front, I saw a dozen colorful oil paper boats on the bay. The water vapor was dense, and the peach blossoms on both sides of the river fell to the river. With the colorful oil paper boats, it was a colorful picture scroll. Looking at the embankment while enjoying the fun, while chatting about homework.

I only heard Xiangling's crisp voice coming from the front: "Girl, look at how beautiful this oiled paper umbrella is!"

I saw that Xiangling was turning an oiled paper umbrella with slender orchid leaves in his hand, with a smile on his face, like a real child.

Aunt Xue frowned when she saw this and said angrily, "This child is about to get married, and he's not yet in shape, so how can we make friends!"

Baochai said loudly: "Mom, just let her play. She is so heartless and heartless, so she will save a lot of trouble. This is also her blessing!"

Xiangling seemed to have heard Baochai's words, turned her head and smiled sweetly, at that moment, Xiuyan seemed to see an angel, her smile was so innocent, as pure and flawless as a newborn baby.

Such a pure and kind girl, why did she follow such a bad man who didn't know how to cherish?Xiuyan couldn't figure it out.

When she came to the stall selling oil-paper umbrellas, Baochai opened a beautiful umbrella and smiled at Xiuyan, "What do you think of this one?" Xiuyan smiled lightly and shook her head.

Baochai put it aside, and opened another pair of Wenxiuyan painted with gold and phoenix. Xiuyan still shook her head and said, "Sister, I think this is very good! It matches you very well!"

Xiuyan raised her head and opened an oil-paper umbrella full of birds and phoenixes, and faced the sky. The light of that day shone through the colorful oil-paper umbrella and sprinkled on Xiuyan's fair face, adding brilliance and printing Shining in her eye pool like autumn water.

Xue Biao was stunned, his eyes were blurred, and the corners of his mouth could not help but rise, revealing a row of bright teeth, which was a bit silly and a bit dull.

Aunt Xue saw it in her eyes and felt pain in her heart. This child is so real, even if she likes it, she just exists in her heart silently.

Baochai took it in his hand, raised his head, turned around to the sky, and praised: "It's really good! It's Miss Xing who has a good eye!"

Xiuyan said modestly: "I just happened to see it!"

"Hey, there are lots of painted lotuses here!" Xiangling Qingcui's voice came.

"Show me!" He Xiang snatched it with quick eyes and quick hands, opened it to the sky, nodded and praised, "Well, this is very beautiful, just what I want!"

Xiangling pouted and muttered in a low voice: "Obviously I saw it first!"

Seeing this, Baochai poked Xiangling's forehead with her round fingers and said, "There are a lot of them here, but you're so petty that people laugh at you!"

Xiangling flattened her mouth and lowered her head like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Seeing her like this, Xiuyan and Baochai embraced each other, laughing nonstop.

Xiangling looked up and saw that they were smiling happily, she also smiled, and then rushed to pick up an umbrella.

"This is really a child! Fortunately, she is in a family like ours. If she goes to those princely houses with her simple temperament, she still doesn't know how to survive?" Baochai said with emotion.

"Hey, there's still a handful of water chestnut flowers!" He Xiang shouted.

"Where, where, show me!" Xiangling's crisp voice was full of eagerness.

"It's not that, you were arguing with me just now, it's not, it's ready-made waiting for you!" There was a trace of sarcasm in He Xiang's clear tone.

"I was wrong, give it to me!" Xiangling begged like a child.

"Call me sister, and I'll give it to you!" He Xiang pushed forward.

Xiangling didn't say a word, she really called Sister Hexiang!

The two of them each picked out a favorite oil-paper umbrella, opened it, and walked side by side on the street. Their height and figure were very similar, just like a pair of sisters.

Aunt Xue picked out a handful of old Lamei.

Only Xiuyan didn't like it very much. Just as he was about to grab a random one, the old umbrella seller took one out from under the booth and said: "I think the girl is fresh and refined, with a touch of otherworldly spirit between her eyebrows and eyes. I think this Match the lily of the valley to your temperament, look at the inscription on it, don't compete with the world, but enjoy the fragrance, it's a girl!"

Xue Biao said: "Old man, since there are good ones, why hide them!"

"It's not a good thing either, just because the little girl loves Lily so much, the little old man put this one away, and plans to take it home and keep it for the little girl!"

"Then I am not loved by others! Old man, you should take it back!" Xiuyan returned the umbrella to the old man, and the old man who sold the umbrella said with a smile: "Girl, take it. If my daughter needs me, I will come back next time." Just go and approve it!"

Since the old man said so, Xiuyan could only accept it happily.

They each bought their favorite umbrellas, and a group of beauties holding flower umbrellas walking on the embankment full of peach blossoms was another beautiful scenery, which attracted passers-by to look back frequently.

Aunt Xue persuaded: "Girls, let's go back, this is too ostentatious!"

"Mom, what are you afraid of? The daughters of our merchants have their own pride, and they can't compare to those boudoir ladies who don't leave the door!" Xue Biao said loudly.

Aunt Xue frowned: "Why are you so confused, kid? Even if your sister is a merchant girl, but your sister Xing is not!"

"Sister Xing is not that coquettish and pretentious ordinary daughter, she won't mind!"

Xue Biao's words were so confident that Xiuyan had to look at him with admiration. In the past, he only knew that he had a round waist and a broad back. soulmate.

Xiuyan's scrutiny made Xue Biao's face turn red. He wanted to bow his head, but he was afraid that Xiuyan would laugh at him, so he could only force himself to ask, "Why is the girl looking at me like this!"

Xiuyan tilted her head and asked, "What did you call me at first, sister?" There was a questioning tone in her tone.

Seeing Xiuyan questioning him, Xue Biao immediately panicked: "I made a slip of the tongue just now, please forgive me, miss!"

Seeing his flustered look, Xiuyan immediately explained: "Brother Xue, don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to blame you, I just wanted to say, I like it very much when you call me Sister Xing, I remember that Second Lord Bao also called me that way in the garden. mine!"

When Xue Biao saw Xiuyan mentioning Second Master Bao, he thought she was still missing him, and a trace of melancholy flashed in his heart. After adjusting his mood, he said again: "Since the girl likes it, it's good to call you Sister Xing from now on!"

"En!" Xiuyan readily agreed.

Along the way, they bought a lot of gadgets. Xue Biao couldn't hold them by himself, and the girls also helped each other.

They decided to send Xiuyan and the others back first. Xiuyan opened the courtyard door, and Aunt Xue praised: "Wow, from the outside, I thought it was a seven-row independent house, but when I opened it, I found out that it was connected. There are ten rows of houses in this house." Our house is big, Miss Xing, how much do you pay for it! I think you had a hard time living in that garden, but when you leave this garden, you will be out of luck!"

Xiuyan wants to say that this house is not hers, but she is afraid that Aunt Xue will ask the bottom line, and she will not be able to explain it on the spot. Since she has already told Sister Bao, Sister Bao will explain it to Aunt Xue after she returns, and she will not bother now. She just smiled and didn't answer.

Xue Biao was also quite surprised when he saw such a big house. Originally, he thought he was worthy of her, but now he felt ashamed.

When Xiangling saw her, her almond eyes widened. She felt as if she had seen Daguanyuan again, the one that brought her fond memories.

Baochai was not only surprised when she saw it, but more of a scrutiny, thinking to herself, Li Mu is just a high-ranking member of the court, with no achievements, how could there be such a big mansion, and the government of Rongning and Ningxia is nothing more than that ah!

Xiuyan was extremely uncomfortable being stared at by Baochai, but in fact she never doubted Brother Mu, thinking about how much money he would have to be greedy to buy such a big house, she was afraid.

But her intuition told her that Brother Mu must not be a corrupt official, she believed him, and she didn't know how he got this house, maybe it wasn't Brother Mu's house at all, maybe it was the house of some prince or nobleman, Maybe they committed a crime, maybe the whole family died, and the house was vacant.

After thinking about it wildly and unconstrainedly, she just didn't want to believe that Brother Mu was a corrupt official.

Baochai saw that Xiuyan was frightened, so she patted her on the shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, our merchants will not hold hands with court matters!"

Although Sister Bao said so, Xiuyan was still a little scared, she shouldn't have brought them here, her stupidity might kill Brother Mu.

She felt that she should tell Brother Mu about this as soon as possible, so after they left, she wrote a letter and passed the news to him by carrier pigeon.

In Li Mu's reply letter, the word "no problem" was clearly written.

Since Brother Mu said it's okay, then it must be okay, Xiuyan took a reassurance.
