6.6 Princess Yongchang: Were you not ashamed to see them in the past?
The fireworks all over the sky lit up most of the capital. Although the deafening sound made many people angry, they had to admit that at this time, these things should be there. Without them, it always feels like something is missing; it has been hung up. In the courtyard with the plaque of "Zhou Mansion", all the family members were also wearing new clothes and new hats, smiling happily.

"Master, please have some!" Qingwen smiled and put the incense stick as thick as her little finger into Zhou Yang's hand. "With so many fireworks in the house, we can't just let the slaves light them all by themselves, right? The other sisters are all lazy, right?" Playing cards is just about making up poems, even the two sisters from the Zhao family don't care."

"Didn't you say you want to have a good time?" Zhou Yang took the incense and lit two fireworks with a smile, then called the healthy woman standing nearby and said, "Find a few people to light them, before Haishi tonight Don’t stop, you can come back and go!”

"Yes, sir!" The strong woman's eyes lit up and she immediately ran out to gather people.

"Master!" Qingwen immediately pouted and stared at someone dissatisfied.

"Why, isn't your biggest dream when you were a child, one is to eat a full meal, and the other is to set off fireworks happily. Now that both of them have been realized, how can there be so many opinions?" Zhou Yang gently He patted the girl on the head, hugged her and said affectionately as he walked, "Today is a good day, the young master allows you to give some advice, let's talk."

"I always feel that I no longer have the same mood as when I was in the tavern." Qingwen's faint words made Zhou Yang feel dumbfounded. "Now there are many sisters in the house, and it is also lively on weekdays. But I don't know why, and I always miss the past." During the days when I was waiting in the tavern, now I even want to wait on the young master every day, but I can’t do it anymore.”

"You." Zhou Yang laughed dumbly and hugged the girl who he had just turned into a little woman two days ago. He understood that she was worrying about gains and losses, "I have a lot of thoughts. There are so many people in the family, I can't pamper him every day. I'll take you alone, right? Today we're going to Baochai's side, how about the young master asking you to tag along too?"

"Don't!" But I didn't want Qingwen's cheeks to blush instantly, her little head shaking like a rattle, "In Aunt Xue's day, the young master will definitely be called a shameless person. Really, young master, how can you be so cruel? If in the future Even the servants don’t know what to call the young master or the young miss.”

"Little Hoof, I didn't see you being embarrassed when I asked you to follow Shuying." Zhou Yang gave the girl two PP's with some embarrassment, "Let's go, everyone will disperse after the reunion dinner. Kai went off to do his own business, and we came out to set off fireworks, so we don’t know what they were doing.”

"At that time, Aunt Xue was not here. A slave is just to serve others. It's different who you serve." Qingwen muttered again, and then she was intimidated by someone's slap and did not dare to mention it again. "I just heard that Miss Yun took Ke Qing. My sister and Aunt Jia went to play cards. In fact, Aunt Jia originally wanted to join in a poem with Aunt Xue and Aunt Xing, but she was forced to go there by Miss Yun."

"This girl." Zhou Yang couldn't help laughing, and pulled Qingwen and said, "Let them fight happily, let's go see Baochai and Xiuyan, by the way, there should be Qin girl among them, right? I I remember that she also liked to write poems, and she even wrote "Ten Nostalgic Poems" based on her experiences when she was running around with Uncle Xue, but it's a pity that I don't understand these things."

"If Miss Qin listens to you talking about her poems like this, let's see if she will cause trouble while you - hee hee." Qingwen said, holding back her laughter, "She is really a girl who hasn't even been to the girl's house yet. There is no taboo at all. I dare to wander around any girl’s aunt’s yard, and I’ve bumped into her several times.”

"Okay!" Someone helplessly patted his maid, and he was even more helpless towards Xue Baoqin. This girl is just like Qingwen said, she has no taboos at all, even if someone pulls her to do it a few times. It doesn't matter if they are sparring each other. The most annoying thing is that she also likes to make trouble when someone is in a mood. The situation was very embarrassing at one time. "Let's go see if they have any new masterpieces."

The "work area" of the three female literary youths is in the inner garden greenhouse. Zhou Yang spent a lot of time before getting back a few pots of orchids grown in the greenhouse from the palace. The girls were all excited to have flowers to see in winter. It was so bad that Shi Xiangyun originally wanted to play cards next to the flower pot, but was driven to the Xue family garden by the young literary people.

"Brother Zhou!" Seeing the two people entering the door, Xue Baochai stood up to greet them with a smile. Xing Xiuyan naturally followed. Only Xue Baoqin rolled his eyes at someone and continued to write and draw with a brush. On a specially brought table, There were already piles of paper with writing on them, which were obviously the work of three people.

"Sister Bao!" There were no outsiders anyway. Zhou Yang went up and hugged her gently, glanced at the two pots of orchids and smiled deliberately, "I don't understand your ways, but I know that the more people there are, the more lively this kind of thing will be. Why are there only three of you?"

"Also, we had discussed it during the day and we all played together. It was the set of ivory dominoes you brought back from the palace as a tribute that attracted Sister Yun, and she took away the second sister. , now it’s okay, what’s the point of three people joining a poem together?” No need to ask, it must be Xue Baoqin who has such a big opinion.

"Hmph, Miss Qin is too embarrassed. Originally, the young master took it back and kept it in the inner courtyard. You insisted on taking it apart and trying it, which aroused Miss Yun's interest. As a result, you guys fought all afternoon and almost lost your food. I don't want to eat, and now the three of them haven't stopped, and you think they can't come to join the poem." Before Zhou Yang could say anything, Qingwen turned back dissatisfied.

"I'm sorry, why are you so embarrassed?" "

"I..." Qingwen looked at her young master with a teasing face first, then gritted her teeth and said, "I won't go, I still have to serve the young master."

"Hush -" Xue Baoqin curled her lips disdainfully, "It seems to be Sister Bao tonight, right? Are you shameless and want to get together again? I'm afraid there is no chance. Anyway, there must be two people at night. You come over too much. "Damn it, what nonsense are you talking about!" Before Qingwen could say anything this time, Xue Baochai, who was already extremely embarrassed and angry, rushed over and pressed her down on the carpet, tickling and rubbing her face. After a while of greeting her, Said, "Let's see if you still dare to talk nonsense!"

"The two of you are not finished yet." Zhou Yang couldn't laugh or cry, went up to pull the two girls up, took Xue Baochai aside and said with a smile, "They're all from my own family, so what's there to be embarrassed about? Anyway, this girl has a thick skin , I have dealt with her so many times these days, but I still haven’t seen her become honest, so you just give in."

"Brother Zhou!" Xue Baochai put her head against Ai Lang's chest and held her in his arms without saying anything. However, Xue Baoqin didn't mean to be honest. She jumped to the other side of Zhou Yang with a smile, biting Ai Lang's ear and murmured for a while. She didn't know what to say specifically. People know that, but just look at someone's slowly rippling smile, and Xue Baochai's performance of struggling several times to come out but being suppressed, and you know that there are no good words.

"Sister Bao, after all, we have plenty of time tomorrow, why don't we get together again." By the way, there is also Xing Xiuyan who has been silent. She is not far away. She was originally flipping through the works of several people, but before Xue Baoqin finished speaking His cheeks were already red, he lowered his head and said goodbye in a low voice before running out of the room.

"Brother Zhou, you can't be like this," Xue Baochai said urgently.

"Good sister, let's talk later." Zhou Yang did not agree. He picked up Xue Baochai and ran straight to the back house, ignoring her hard beatings, leaving a certain evil-minded girl covering her mouth and snickering.

"Miss Qin, what did you just say to the young master?" Qingwen asked blankly.

"Didn't you pay attention during the reunion dinner? My aunt said hello and went to the backyard. I just told Brother Zhou." Xue Baoqin said with a smile, "Sister Bao can't run away anyway, so I won't bother you this time." Sister Yun and the others are playing cards; the second sister usually goes back to sleep before Haishi, and there are four of us."

"Hehe, Sister Qin is still smart!" Qingwen's eyes lit up, she picked up Xue Baoqin and went straight to the Xue family garden, never mentioning that she wanted to serve someone, "Let's go over quickly, anyway, Aunt Jia doesn't like it at all. We’re playing cards, why not let her rest early.”

Princess Yongchang’s private residence.

"Bing'er, what do you think he is doing now?" Guo Rong leaned on the recliner in boredom and asked the equally bored commander of the guards at the side.

"If the princess wants to, why don't you go and see for yourself?" Dongfang Bing said nonchalantly, "You even just finished the reunion dinner in the palace and then came back. My subordinates don't believe that you really are what the Queen said. So, come back and rest when you are tired."

"Damn girl, since you followed him, you have become more and more disrespectful." Princess Yongchang raised her slender feet angrily and kicked the guard commander "hardly", "Okay, I originally wanted to The only reason I wanted to go and see him was that there should be a bunch of people in his yard now, right? If I get close to him again, wouldn’t it look like "

"It's very shameless." Dongfang Bing stabbed a certain princess on the heart.

"Damn hoof, let's see if I can spare you!" Princess Yongchang was so blocked that she almost shut herself down. Just when she was about to get up, she saw a huge firework exploded in the distance, and the four characters "Everything goes well" appeared in mid-air. Then there were words such as "family happiness", "more than enough every year" and so on. He said with some surprise, "Isn't that side the direction of the palace?"

"I remember Ziyang mentioned that the fireworks he prepared this time are the same as the tributes sent to the palace by Xue Zihao, except they are much smaller and have different colors and words. That side happens to be the direction of Zhou Mansion." Dongfang Bing looked over from a distance and said in a complicated tone, "Princess, are we really not going there anymore?"

"Don't you feel ashamed to see them in the past?" Princess Yongchang snorted before asking, "What time is it?"

"Hai hour is right." Dongfang Bing sighed softly, "Zi Yang said that the Zhou family's fireworks..."

"Only until Haishi." Princess Yongchang also had a complicated expression and said softly after a while, "Fifty years of Longwu - have passed!"
