Chapter 4 Reunion

On the same rainy night, Yan Yanling and Guan Gui stood by the window, holding a lantern to look at the three or five peach trees outside the window.

In June, the peach trees are full of fruit.Guan Gui smiled and said, "When the weather clears tomorrow, I'll pick some and eat them. They look sweet, but I don't know if they're sweet or not."

Mother Xu glared at her, "I know how to eat! Why don't you come over and make the bed!"

Guan Gui stuck out his tongue secretly, and was about to go to the bed, but he heard the girl read a poem in a low voice: Lanxi has three days of peach blossom rain, and carp come to the beach in the middle of the night.

At any rate, Guan Gui grew up with the girl and could read a few words. He smiled and said, "The fruit is ripe. Wherever there is peach blossom rain, there is fat carp. Carp is not delicious."

Feast Bell smiled.She smiled a little melancholy, her slender eyebrows were full of moonlight, and Guan Gui stopped to praise Xu's mother's angry eyes, "Miss, you are so kind, no wonder people say you can see it under the moon." Beauty, beauty is even more beautiful."

Xu's mother was really angry and cursed: "Neither big nor small, neither respectful nor humble! Come quickly and make the bed, or watch out for your head!"

Guan Gui quickly walked over with his head in his hands, "You chop, you chop—"

Mother Xu rolled her eyes, "Scroll."

The house was full of uproar.Sheng Yanling laughed and thought of Mr.She blames herself.

When the husband taught her the poem "Three days of peach blossom rain in Lanxi, carp come to the beach in the middle of the night", he said that he would take her to see the peach blossom rain and catch carp to eat, and she nodded happily.

But when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, the husband said that he was sick, it was cold outside, and he couldn’t go out of the yard, so she asked her to see it by herself. I didn't listen to my husband's words, so I didn't go.

Now that I think about it, I should go.Otherwise, before Mr. passed away, even the Peach Blossom Rain seen in the painting can be regarded as seen.

She closed the window with tears in her eyes, not daring to show her tears to Mother Xu, otherwise she would be nagged again, so she simply held up the candle lamp to look at the bookshelves in the house.The bookshelf is empty, just waiting for her to put the book.

This was specially prepared for her by my aunt.Aunt really understands her.She likes some elegant scenery, there are peach trees outside the window.I like to read books, there are big bookshelves in the house.

All are satisfied now.

Guan Gui also thought Mrs. Ning Guo was really kind.She touched the bed with her hand, and said happily: "Girl, this quilt is really smooth and beautiful, it must be very precious."

Mother Xu also went to touch it, smiling from ear to ear, and said to Sheng Yanling: "I think my aunt really treats you well. This is the only way to be considerate in everything."

What she is most worried about is that Mrs. Ning Guo is not easy to get along with, and Sheng Yanling will be bullied.Now that I know that it is really an excellent person, I am finally relieved.

——So her old man is only worried about the girl's future husband's family.She began to worry again, "Hey, I don't know if I can see my future uncle. It would be great if I could."

Sheng Yanling was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Auntie will definitely take me to see her."

Although men and women are different, it doesn't matter if there are elders around.

Mother Xu: "That's good, otherwise I won't feel at ease."

Then he urged: "Go to bed quickly, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Guan Gui winked at Yan Yanling and complained, "She's really long-winded!"

Xu's mother gave her a glare and went back to the guest room, letting Guan Gui to sleep with Sheng Yanling.

When I woke up the next day, the rain had stopped.The rules of Ningguo Duke's Mansion are strict, and they have their own morning and evening schedules, and they have to visit the old lady in the morning.So Sheng Yanling followed her aunt, the second young lady, and the fifth girl to Kangshoutang.

Ning Guogong and the second young master are going to court, the third young master is still recuperating, and the fourth young master is going to study, so it is not used.

Sheng Yanling found out that all the people who came to pay their respects were women.

After inviting Ann, the old lady didn't talk much, she just let them sit for a while and then went back.

Shengyan Bell stood up and walked out with everyone.

Mrs. Li handed her over to Miss Wu—she was going to take care of the household affairs with Mrs. Second Young Madam.Only then did Sheng Yanling realize that her aunt and second young lady were very busy.They hold hands in their palms, and they have to lecture the servants, reconcile the account books, and salute to other people.

Five girls are used to these things.She was a shy person, and returned to her residence with a feast bell.Then they played together very quickly - they both like reading very much, no matter how complicated or detailed the book they are talking about, they can pick up a sentence or two.

Sheng Yanling, who is addicted to books, finally found a girl she likes as much as herself, and she was so grateful.The fifth girl was also very excited by her excitement, and immediately shared the lonely and miscellaneous books in her collection, and generously said that she could borrow them back to read.

Sheng Yanling was a little ashamed: "My husband also left me books, many of which are orphans, but I can't lend them to you. You can only go to my room to read."

Guan Gui was listening, very anxious—the girl was fine with everything else, but she was stubborn when she got to the book.Isn't it offending people to speak like this?

He quickly added, "Fifth Miss, don't be surprised, my girl's husband just passed away, so she cherishes these books very much."

Miss Wu is also a book lover, so she understands this feeling very well, "Okay, I'll go and read it in your room, it won't be damaged."

Sheng Yanling was ashamed and happy, "The books are all in the box. I'm going to put some on the bookshelf today. After I organize them, I invite you to pick them out."

The fifth girl said: "I'm free and I have nothing to do, why don't I go and finish the book with you?"

The two became one person, happily, kissing each other, and going out hand in hand.

Xu's mother clicked her tongue: The friendship between the little girl's family is so fast.

The yards where the two lived were not too far apart, but they had to pass through a small garden.At this time, the sun was already shining, and the fifth girl took the feast bell and walked to the water pavilion on the left side of the small garden, "The sun is the most poisonous, don't burn your face."

They took a detour to the waterside pavilion, and after walking a few steps, the fifth girl pulled the feast bell and stopped, turned sideways and looked towards the small garden, "It's my third brother."

She asked suspiciously, "Isn't he sick? Why is he in the garden?"

Sheng Yanling followed her gaze curiously, just in time to see the third cousin standing on the cobbled path not far away.However, because there are balustrade flowers and trees in the middle of the road, he can only see his tall and slender figure, his profile is handsome, and his skin is fair, with the immatureness of a young man, but his face cannot be seen clearly.

As if feeling her gaze, he also looked over from afar.

One of the two stood under the waterside corridor, and the other stood across the pool on the path surrounded by flowers, and they just looked at each other.Then, Ning Shuo's eyes fixed on her and did not move away for a long time.

The fifth girl hurriedly stepped forward to block the feast bell, and looked at her elder brother with a strange expression - the third elder brother knew etiquette, how could he be so presumptuous when he saw the cousin of the Sheng family for the first time.

Although she had known her cousin not long ago, she liked her very much, and she didn't want her to misunderstand that her family had no rules.Just about to turn around and explain a few words to her, she saw her looking up at third brother in a daze.

The fifth girl was very worried: Could it be that the cousin was frightened and stupid?
Sheng Yanling was not frightened.She just felt... that this cousin's eyes were very familiar.

As for why it was familiar, she racked her brains but couldn't remember.

He could only salute first, bowed his head, and bowed Yingying, "Cousin is well."
