Chapter 5 Dragon Boat Festival

After May, the weather rushed to get hot day by day. The three Shen sisters are still new filial piety. Every day, except for going to Xuanxi Hall to greet Mrs. Ye, there is almost no "Linlang Pavilion".

Three days left is the Dragon Boat Festival. Early this morning, Shen Xuanji just cleaned his face and was facing the bronze mirror. A lotus-blue figure was faintly reflected in the mirror and called timidly, "Sister."

"It's coral!" Shen Xuanji turned around and waved to her over, "Why did you get up so early? Can you sleep well at night?

Shen Coral nodded. She is 12 years old this year, only one year younger than Shen Yuluo, but she is more than half a head lower, and her body is also thin. She walks like a weak willow, which has a unique charm.

Her biological mother, Aunt Ding, was originally Mrs. Shen's dowry maid. After giving birth, she had been in a sick bed and died after half a year.

Shen Coral grew up with Mrs. Shen, but the more she grew up, the more she had the character of her biological mother.

"Sister Juqing was very safe and slept well at night." Shen Coral was afraid that the eldest sister was more than her parents and always spoke respectfully in front of her. Shen Xuanji persuaded her many times, and she agreed as usual.

"It's still early. The old lady hasn't got up yet. If you are hungry, let Chunjiao take some snacks to eat first." Shen Xuanji didn't care, so he wanted to raise his voice and order Chun Zhuo.

"No need, sister!" Shen Coral quickly waved his hand, "I'm here to tell my sister that I've been really depressed in the room these days. Can you...can you..."

"Do you want to go out for a walk?" Shen Xuanji asked with a smile.

"Hmm." Shen Coral blushed and said, "It's still early. I'm sure no one will see it."

Shen Xuanji laughed, "It's not a shady thing. Why are you afraid that people will see it?" She turned around and looked in the mirror, put a silky on the hairpin, and said, "It's just that the plain clothes are not familiar with this yard, so you can take Juqing and come back early. Don't miss to greet the old lady."

"Yes!" Shen Coral smiled and swirled out like a swallow. Shen Xuanji looked at her funny and turned his face to ask Lan Qing, who had been standing beside her, "Did I restrain her more tightly?"

"The three girls are young and love to play."

Shen Xuanji smiled at her. He was worthy of being the person adjusted by the old lady. She spoke in a very measured way. In comparison, the spring, who grew up with herself, seemed straightforward and meticulous. She looked back at Chunchuo and looked at herself with a pair of innocent eyes, and her heart softened. Although she was naive and simple, she was not as loyal to herself as others.

Shen Coral followed her eldest sister's words and took Juqing out of the "Linlang Pavilion".

Ju Qingyuan is also a second-class maid of Mrs. Ye. She is slightly younger than Mei Qing beside Yulang, about the same age as Lan Qing, and one or two years older than Zhu Qing in front of her.

Mrs. Ye also took a lot of effort to choose these four maids to serve the Shen family. In the four, Mei Qing is stable, Lan Qing is careful, Zhu Qing is lively and refreshing, but Ju Qing is the most clever one.

"Three girls, it's early now. If there is no one in the garden, why don't we go there?"

Shen Coral thought for a moment, as if there was nothing wrong, so she nodded.

The two walked all the way to the garden. In the early summer morning, they saw the prosperity and smoke, and the dew were clear. The air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. Shen Coral only felt that his spirits were refreshed. These days, most of his sadness and depression seemed to have dissipated, and his beautiful face was also slightly. Laugh.

"In fact, the three girls are young, and it's time to grow up. It's also good for the body to relax." Juqing smiled, and Shen Coral nodded, "Sister Juqing said it."

The two walked all the way and talked about a few words. The more they walked into the depths of the garden, the more they felt that the scenery was beautiful, the fragrance of flowers and plants was fragrant, and the sun did not rise in the morning. The weather was not hot, but they felt very comfortable.

Suddenly, he heard someone laughing. Shen Coral was stunned and stopped, "Sister Juqing, someone is here. Let's go back."

Before the words fell, the laughing man had heard the movement here. He saw a maid in yellow armor turn around the rockery, saw Shen Coral, and smiled and said, "Good morning, Miss Shen San. It's our grandmother to disperse with her uncle."

Shen Coral recognized that she was Pinyue in the room of Wei Jue, the eldest son of Duke An, and also a big maid with a head. She was slightly sideways and received a half gift. She also said, "Sister Pinyue, since you are walking with your cousin, I won't disturb you..."

Pinyue was slightly stunned and looked at Ju Qing with a smile. Juqing blushed and was reasonable. Shen Coral should go and say hello to his wife. She was really shy.

"It's all a family, and my sister is too polite." The woman spoke very gently and pleasantly. A twenty-five-year-old man and woman helped each other around the rockery. The woman was wearing a mint green light yarn forgings, under a golden moon skirt of the same color, a white jade Pisces skirt around her waist, and a dark green silk with a Japanese bun, a goose mouth hairpin and a pair of crystals. The tassel of beads. Her face is as big as the moon, her skin is white and bright, and her bright eyes are bent, and she smiles like two small crescent moons.

Weifu big ~ milk ~ milk Ye Dongyu, the legitimate daughter of the loyal and brave Houfu, the daughter of Mrs. Ye's own nephew and grandson, and Wei Jue have been married for seven years. She has always been deeply in love with the crucian carp and is very enviable.

"Big cousin, big cousin." Shen Coral was ashamed again, lowered his head and saluted, and did not dare to look at her.

"You must be too much like a broken settler to scare your sister." Wei Jue smiled and said that he was wearing a green silk robe and dressed as homely as his wife. He was as straight as bamboo and his eyebrows were handsome, but his face was slightly white, which seemed to be a deficiency, which made people regretful.

Ye Dongyu gave him a white look and took Shen Coral's hand and asked for warmth. Wei Jue stood beside her, with a smile on the corners of her mouth, as if listening to her say that some parents' shortcomings are also a great enjoyment.

Pinyue was used to seeing it, but she felt nothing. Juqing quietly covered her mouth and smiled.

While talking, suddenly a breeze blew. Wei Jue coughed twice. Ye Dongyu immediately looked at her husband nervously as if facing a great enemy.

"Where is it so delicate?" Although Wei Jue smiled, she refused and hurriedly passed by Shen Coral. The couple took Pinyue along the garden path.

"Big cousin and sister-in-law are very good." Shen Coral stood in place, thoughtfully.

On the right day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Mo Han, another big maid beside Mrs. Ye, came early in the morning. When Shen Xuanji saw her, he couldn't help secretly admiring Mrs. Ye's means of cultivating her servants. Qingying and Mohan, just like Chunlan Qiuhui, each of them was good at winning the field: Qingying was beautiful and steady in action. There is a faint majesty in her temper and peace, and the servants are convinced of her. Even Mrs. Ye sometimes loses her temper, and only she dares to persuade her. Mo Han is much more beautiful than Qingyan. She does a good job of needles and thread in one hand, and is the most straightforward temper. Mrs. Ye is naturally arrogant for her, unlike ordinary maids. He kowtowed, but valued her.

"The old lady said that the banquet was placed in her old man's room. However, there are no outsiders at the family banquet, and there is no big meal. Girls don't have to worry about breaking the rules.

Since he said this, Shen Xuanji did not dare to refuse and personally came to Xuanxi Hall with Yingluo and Coral.

As soon as he stepped into the hanging flower door, he saw Yulang like a respless pony, shouting "Sister!" and plunged his head into Shen Xuanji's arms.

Weifu has never had such a small child for many years, and it looks fresh up and down. He is born with a cute and well-behaved appearance. He has a good temper. His small mouth can speak or be angry. Everyone is smiling. Therefore, not only Mrs. Ye, but also the servants and maids of Xuanxi Hall like him. He ate well and slept well with Mrs. Ye. It was only a month, and it really weighed a lot. Shen Xuanji was hit by him and almost couldn't stand still.

Shen Xuanji squatted down and picked him up. He stretched out his hand to pinch his fat face. Coral followed behind and covered his lips and smiled. Mrs. Ye sat in the room and looked at this scene. It was very warm, but her eyes were slightly red.

Entering the room, Shen Xuanji looked around for a week and saw Mrs. Ye sitting at the highest place. An Guogong Wei Han and his wife Yao were sitting on the chair below. The Shen sisters quickly met them with courtesy.

Wei Han is gentle and indifferent. He has always felt sorry for these nieces, and the smile on Yao's face is a little meaningful.

Shen Xuanji had to pretend not to see it. As soon as he raised his eyes, he saw a woman standing behind Yao, looking at no more than 30 people, wearing a pink-purple satin long coat, which was as bright as water and bright. It was Wei Han's only concubine, called Aunt Chun.

This Aunt Chun also has some history. She was originally a palace servant who served the virtuous concubine. After the death of the virtuous concubine, she was released from the palace when she reached an old age. However, she was accepted as a concubine by Wei Han. Although she was born in the palace, she has a good appearance and is more like the Duke's wife than the Yao family. Wei Han also looked up at her and had a son and a daughter with her. She is beautiful and has children. It is rare that she never spoils and is proud. She set rules in front of Yao every day, which makes her unable to say a word.

How dare Shen Xuanji look down on such a able woman? Seeing her smiling softly at herself, she also smiled, and nodded slightly as a courtesy.

For a while, Wei Jue and his wife came, and the third master Wei Jie and the second girl Wei Xi from Aunt Chun also arrived, but did not see Yao's direct son, the second master Wei Jie.

Wei Han's face is a little bad.

Yao's family filled the house. Wei Han's wife Bai died in childbirth when she gave birth to Wei Jue. Wei Jue has been weak since childhood, but she is extremely smart. She has quite a lot of ability to speak at a glance. Compared with him, Wei Wei seems to be mediocre.

But Wei Ji is the future Duke of Anguo. Shen Xuanji thought that Yao knew this that he spoiled him so much, and Wei Ji also knew this, so he was fearless.

Wei was still a teenager who did not have a weak crown. He wore a bamboo leaf green robe and tied his hair with a green jade crown. He smiled gently and smiled gently. He worshipped the Shen family's sister group and was very polite.

Wei Xi is even more interesting. The An Guogong Mansion was already prosperous and declining. Wei Jia joined the army with her father and guarded the border all year round. This time, she sent Shen's sister and brother back to Qiongjiang, and she got up early the next morning and returned. Under such circumstances, Wei Xi is a beloved one. Although she is a common daughter, she is more delicate than the daughter of others.

She inherited her biological mother's good appearance and acted generously, which quite made Mrs. Ye laugh.

After another half a moment, Wei Wei came late and was naturally scolded by his father. Although he responded, he was a little disapproving.

The servants set up the screen in the hall. Wei Han sat outside with his three sons, and Mrs. Ye and the women sat inside, which was also very happy.

In addition to Yao's eyes, she looked at the faces of the Shen sisters from time to time. Shen Xuanji and Yingluo were fine, and Coral was almost cried by her.

What is she looking at?
