Volume VI

6.10 Li Wan: Only then do you know what is shameful or not?

The seventh day of the first lunar month is the Vulcan Festival.

"I've met the second sister." In the inner garden greenhouse, Xichun ran to Yingchun and sat down next to her. She "complained" with a smile, "You really don't care whether your sisters live or die if you live a good life. You don't want to do it for so long. Come pick us up and have a refreshing day. Even Sister Lin is here and you don’t want to think about it."

"You girl, you're just lazy, why are you trying to criticize me?" Lin Daiyu, who was flipping through her storybook, interrupted angrily, "If you have something to do, just discuss it among yourselves, and don't involve me as an outsider. Anyway, you guys have the final say in this courtyard, I just came here after taking Sister Bao’s post.”

"Hehe, are you ashamed to say this to Sister Lin?" Tan Chun jumped to her side with a smile and snatched the storybook out of her hand, "Do you really not know who Sister Bao is now? Besides, what you picked up is Why did the Xue family's post end up in the Zhou family's yard? Brother Zhou is not at home today, and I don't know who to show it to."

"Damn hoof, let's see if I don't tear your mouth apart!" Lin Daiyu blushed immediately and hurriedly came up to hammer her. The two sisters were fighting and laughing, "If I spare you, I might as well die!"

"You guys are always so noisy. What do you mean by the Chinese New Year?" Yingchun reluctantly put down the chess game in her hands and looked at Tanchun, Xichun and Lin Daiyu who were making a fuss, and cheering on, Shi Xiangyun, who also used Taipingquan from time to time, said, "The sisters in the family finally take the opportunity to get together, but you insist on making a scene."

"It's true that the second sister doesn't go back to see you during the Chinese New Year." Tan Chun, who had a messy hair, ran to Yingchun with a pout and said helplessly, "Everyone knows that you are currently on an errand for His Highness Yongchang. The salary is too much to use up, and Brother Zhou is taking care of me. There are so many things to eat and play in the yard, why don’t you bring some for us!"

"You girls, now that you are in the yard, how many things do you see?" Yingchun smiled and touched her sister's head, "Besides, is there still a shortage of food for you in the house over there? Even if it is slightly insufficient, Zhou Big brother is giving you a 'monthly payment'."

"Pfft—" Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun laughed at Yingchun's words, and now it was Tanchun's and Xichun's turn to blush.

"Sister Yun is holding it too!" Xichun complained dissatisfiedly.

"I stayed here even during the New Year." Shi Xiangyun's cheeks turned red, and then he retorted unceremoniously, "They all get the same money, why didn't I see you guys coming?"

But she didn't expect her words to matter. Tanchun and Xichun looked at each other and showed helpless expressions almost at the same time. Shi Xiangyun himself reacted as soon as he finished speaking, and walked over to the two girls with an apologetic look and hugged them.

"Second sister—" Tanchun ran to Yingchun pitifully, but only made his second sister look embarrassed; on the other hand, Xichun's expression kept changing, obviously thinking of something.

"Third and fourth sisters, although the mansion is not as good as before, it is unlikely that the three of us will come to the Zhou Mansion together," Yingchun said helplessly, "Fourth sisters are okay, but Brother Qiang in Dongfu doesn't dare to refuse. The third sister is not easy to deal with. Whether it is the second uncle or the ancestor, I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to live up to her reputation. What’s more, even the eldest sister-in-law is now——"

All the girls present blushed. They were all related to the Jia family, and they didn't know what was going on there. No matter how the Jia family fell, it was still the residence of the Duke. Now that Jia Lian had been promoted and returned to Beijing, there were quite a few The meaning of "Zhongxing" is to let the three springs - well, the four springs go to the Zhou Mansion, which is really difficult to arrange.

"This bad guy spends all day flirting with one another and hooking up with that one, and he doesn't even think about what the family has become." Shi Xiangyun stomped his feet angrily, and complained helplessly, "Nowadays when the whole family gathers together, there is no room for them to sit at the same table. Well, there are still not all people here, if we add in the people who didn’t come from outside.”

"Sister Yun is so angry, why don't you come?" Lin Daiyu teased with a smile.

"I've seen so much vast sky all day long, who would want to go back to that small courtyard with high walls?" Shi Xiangyun said quietly, making the girls fall silent. She also didn't forget to tease Lin Daiyu, "Sister Lin also said that I , It’s not like you don’t know what the historian is like now, I’m just here to ‘pay off the debt’, but you don’t know why you, the eldest lady of a dignified scholar, have to hang out with concubines like us?”

"Sister Yun!" Yingchun glared at Shi Xiangyun, and quickly came over to hug Lin Daiyu, because she had lowered her head and couldn't help crying.

"Sister Lin, I'm not." Shi Xiangyun also realized that he had spoken harshly and quickly came up to apologize.

"Ever since dad was promoted and returned to Beijing, people have been visiting us all the time." Lin Daiyu said quietly as Yingchun helped wipe away her tears, "But as long as you listen to those so-called 'young talents', even dad can hardly recognize them. "Excuse me, although I haven't met any of them, I have heard my father complain a few times. Not to mention their abilities, they have quite bad tempers."

"Brother Zhou," Yingchun said after hesitating, "He is a good one, but there is only one. I have also met His Highness Yongjing, and he can indeed accommodate others, but my sister is different from us. Uncle Lin can never stand our Brother Zhou has yet to explain his identity, and I don’t know what you should do here." "Okay, Sister Lin, don’t worry, you don’t know what he is thinking, so where can you let people go?" Lin Daiyu started to start again. Turning into a bag of tears, Shi Xiangyun simply laughed at himself, "Look, I live here without a name or status. Just like Sister Bao, I still have no status."

"Pfft -" Lin Daiyu couldn't help but blush, and hit Shi Xiangyun with a smile, "How can you arrange people like this? Don't forget that you, a girl from the Shi family, why can you live here for so many days? Is it because of Sister Bao's name? I'm just not sensible, and I know that Brother Zhou is taking care of someone. If Sister Bao really decides on her name, how can she be so comfortable? "

"You guys have been talking about Sister Tianbao for a long time, but you haven't even gone to see her." Seeing the haze dissipated, Xichun smiled and became the "evil person", "Why don't we go to Aunt Xue's place together and say sorry, this time Zhou The eldest brother took the eldest brother of the Xue family to the military camp again, which is indeed inappropriate. As the saying goes, 'it's not a year until fifteen years', how can someone start working before the year is over?"

"You better not go?" Shi Xiangyun blushed and whispered, "Brother Zhou was not here last night."

"Brother Zhou, it's true. How can it be like this?" Xichun complained shyly, but did not dare to tell the whole story.

"Well, Brother Zhou himself was not idle today. He took the two sisters from the Zhao family to the camp at dawn, saying that he wanted to strengthen training." Yingchun blushed and pulled away the topic, "This time you He came here with his sister-in-law, and what the family calls it is the Fire God Festival. Whether it is for young women to avoid the fire, or for girls to watch the fire, he made all the arrangements before leaving."

"Second sister, we really can go to the street." All the girls' eyes lit up.

"Let's talk first. No matter what the reason is, no one is allowed to get out of the car. The market will be very crowded today and no cars are allowed in." Yingchun looked at them sternly and said, "If you really like something, you have to go home." The female guard went over to buy it, you can only watch the excitement and buy some small things, and you must not lose your identity."

"Then" Tanchun rolled his eyes and asked cautiously, "Is it okay if I ask the servant to go over and take a look? After following me for so many years, you still don't know what I like?"

"It's up to you." Yingchun saw that the girls' eyes were all bright, and she didn't dare to offend the public again, so she nodded, "I just agreed in advance that at least two female guards will follow you, otherwise I won't have the guts to let him go."

All the girls nodded in unison.

At the same time, Xue Family Garden.

"Auntie, don't worry too much. Ziyang has always been reliable and will never wrong Brother Pan." Li Wan persuaded, but his expression showed no sympathy at all. He had not forgotten to drop a domino. , "Besides, there are soldiers everywhere in the camp. Who doesn't know the relationship between the two of them and can they hurt him?"

"It's easy for you to say." Wang Shuying followed with a helpless expression, "I'm not afraid that he will be hurt by others. Two days ago, Pan'er just went to a restaurant for a meal, and when he came back, he was killed by that cruel and short-lived person. Hold on, I won't show mercy at all with a spanking. Now I'm going to the camp before I can recover. When will I be able to recover from my injuries?"

"Madam, why should you think too much, Uncle Zhou can still wrong Uncle Xue?" Qin Keqing smiled gently and also followed the card, "Now, in just two or three years, Uncle Xue has been brought up from the fifth level. Being an official will only get better in the future, if it wasn't for being suppressed by Uncle Zhou, where would such a good thing happen?"

"You guys, just protect him." Wang Shuying "hatefully" picked up the dominoes that Qin Keqing had just dropped, and showed them all in her hand, "Give me some money!"

"Isn't Madam worried about Uncle Pan?" Xing Xiuyan, who had not yet had his turn to deal the cards in this round, was stunned for a moment and put down the dominoes stupidly.

"Hmph!" Li Wan picked up a broken piece of silver and threw it into Wang Shuying's pile of silver. He said angrily, "She has been following her for so long without even speaking to Sister Bao. Do you really think she is sad? She was so cruel last night. I stayed here in the yard all night, but I didn't see her face turned red as if she had put on rouge, how could she be so sad?"

"Sister-in-law!" Xue Baochai, who had been serving tea and water behind Wang Shuying, had blushing cheeks. She picked up a domino and threw it at Li Wan. "This is what you can say. Spread the word and shame you on the two sisters who came with you." !”

"I'm a burnt paper, so why should I be ashamed? If I come to this house, I've already been humiliated." Li Wan picked up the dominoes he just smashed indifferently, threw them into the pile and continued shuffling. Pai said, "One day, I see you two have a happy event, and then you will know what is shameful or not."

"Pfft..." Qin Keqing couldn't help laughing, but felt it was inappropriate, so she quickly covered her mouth and lowered her head. The little widow holds down "beat".
