Chapter 38 Outing

After the Waking of Insects, the temperature rose day by day. Mr. Liu taught the young masters to read and write as usual. The ninth sister studied according to the courses arranged by the teacher every day, but the sixth sister did not come to trouble her, but every time she met, she could not suffer a lot of white eyes. Generally speaking, life is good, but Xun Xiuniang of Jinxiu Pavilion has never come for some reason.

In March, the spring was warm and flowers bloomed, and the second wife's rare words made all the women of Xue's family go out for an outing. The sixth sister and the tenth brother are the happiest. As usual, the women of Xue's family do not leave the house. Although there are even women in this era who show up and do business, Xue's family is an official eunuch family, and the tutoring of women is even stricter. What's more, I went out for spring in the warm sunshine of this March.

Sister Jiu just smiled faintly when she heard this exciting news. She was really happy. She came to Chang'an for a few months, but she didn't know what it was like outside. Although she couldn't wander on the street, at least she could still go out to play.

The fourth sister came to discuss with the ninth sister on the first day what to bring out, and said which dress to wear. The ninth sister nodded and asked the fourth sister to help her choose clothes. She asked the painting screen to take out a lot of clothes from the wardrobe to choose. The fourth sister looked at the clothes in a cabinet and couldn't help but be jealous. She happily picked up a pink coat and looked at a light blue shoulder. She liked it very much.

"If only I had so many good clothes all year round. Look, it's still new." The fourth sister took the clothes to the ninth sister.

"They were all brought from Zhejiang, but I didn't expect that my grandmother and second aunt had already prepared a lot of clothes for me, and these were not worn."

The fourth sister's eyes lit up and said shyly, "I really envy you."

"If the fourth sister likes it, just choose a few."

"But--" The fourth sister is still a little hesitant.

"We are all sisters, what's the point between you and me?" The ninth sister turned to the painting screen and said, "Help the fourth sister wrap up the clothes."

The fourth sister finally smiled happily and helped the ninth sister choose a goose-yellow shoulder and a dark gold embroidered skirt on her lower body, which was a good match.

Sister Yao's mother prepared all the necessary things, and let Yao's mother make some more exquisite snacks, and also made the painting screen and brocade well prepared for a long time.

In fact, the ninth sister is also a little excited.

"Sister Jiu, do you want to go to my place to play? I have something for you." The fourth sister mysteriously came to the ninth sister's ear.

"Fourth sister, it's getting late today. If you want to send something to the ninth sister, just bring it tomorrow." Yao's mother looked at the fourth sister with a smile.

"But I don't know whether Sister Jiu likes it or not. If she doesn't like it, I will change it to something else." The fourth sister's mouth turned over quickly and was a little anxious.

"As long as it is given by the fourth sister, Jiu'er likes it." Sister Jiu's shallow path.

"But you gave me clothes today. I can't help but give them to you. No, you go back with me!" The fourth sister became more and more anxious.

The ninth sister raised her eyebrows and still had a smile on her face. She looked at Yao's mother and said slowly, "I'll just go with you. I really want to see what good things the fourth sister wants to give to Jiu'er."

"Mom Yao, come with me!"

"Ninth sister, you'd better let the painting screen or Jinxiu accompany you. Do you have to let Mother Yao hold on in this room?" The fourth sister quickly interrupted and suddenly found that she was speechy and closed her mouth.

The ninth sister looked at the fourth sister for a while, and the fourth sister became more and more guilty, and quickly opened her eyes.

Sister Jiu said with a smile, "Yes, Yao's mother knows what I need. The painting screen is always irritable."

She pulled up the fourth sister, stood up, and told Yao's mother, "Mother Yao, I'm sorry to bother you in the room."

"I know that I will discuss with Feng's mother and Jinxiu." Yao's mother's face was kind and a little respectful.

The ninth sister narrowed her eyes into a gap and looked at the fourth sister who was talking to herself, but thought about what the fourth sister asked her to do, or what her second aunt asked her to do!

The ninth sister is very strange to Xue's house. Except for the main courtyard, the old lady's small courtyard in the south and Jingxian's study, she is very familiar with other places. She doesn't even know where Aunt Zhou and the fifth sister live.

"Although our Xue Mansion is not big, the scenery is good." The fourth sister said, "Look at the rockery over there. I heard that it was built when my grandmother was 40th birthday, but now my grandmother doesn't come here often."

The place where the second aunt and fourth sister live is Fanghua Garden. They entered the courtyard from the second entrance, went straight in, passed through the pavilion and water pavilion, passed the third courtyard where the third room lived, and walked back a few corridors before reaching the fourth courtyard. Fanghua Garden is an affiliated courtyard in the fourth courtyard. Speaking of Xue's house, the house is wide enough that every aunt can be divided into a yard. It is twice as big as the ordinary farmyard.

"From our Fanghua Garden, it is the bamboo branch garden of Aunt Zhou and the fifth sister. If you want to see Aunt Zhou, you can take a path from here." The fourth sister pointed out a one-meter-wide path for the ninth sister.

Sister Ninth nodded.

Before entering Fanghua Garden, a maid came forward and blessed the ninth sister and the fourth sister, "Ninth sister, good luck, fourth sister."

"Why do you have time to come to Fanghua Garden? Please come in. My second aunt would be happy if she knew you were coming. Cai Wei led the way in front of her, but her mouth was very sweet. She almost saw a package in the painting screen, and said, "Sister painting screen, let me get these things!"

"Sister Caiwei, don't need--" the picture screen thanked.

"Sister Caiwei, this is the dress given to me by Sister Jiu. Please help me take it. Sister Huaping is tired along the way." The fourth sister shouted sweetly.

"Your second aunt just asked you to take Guiqiu, but you ran away after lunch. How dare you say it!" Cai Wei seemed to be complaining.

The fourth sister spit out her tongue and whispered, "I didn't know that the ninth sister would give me such beautiful clothes--"

"Sister Jiu is here. Come in and sit down. Guiqiu, tea!" Before the fourth sister's voice fell, the second aunt's voice had come. She went out to greet the ninth sister in person.

Looking at such a big battle, Sister Jiu just entered the room with a shallow smile.

The second aunt greeted the ninth sister to sit down and put on the big red robe again. Seeing the package in Cai Wei's hand asking with her eyes, she straightened up and sat next to the ninth sister.

"The fourth sister is a naughty person, you have to help."

As soon as the ninth sister sat down, the second aunt said this. She raised her eyebrows gently, and again, she heard it once in the mouth of the third sister, and the second aunt also said it once. Don't you know that she is younger than the fourth sister?

As if she sensed the ninth sister's uncomfortableness, the second aunt glanced at the fourth sister awkwardly. The fourth sister sat obediently, her eyes drooping slightly, and she seemed to be obedient. The second aunt was very sorry. If the fourth sister was raised in the main room, she didn't have to worry so much. I hate that the sixth sister for being one step ahead of the fourth sister.

The second aunt's heart was blocked, and the center of her eyes moved back to the ninth sister, but the ninth sister was like an old monk with a faint smile on her face. The second aunt sighed again. If the fourth sister was raised in the main room, she would definitely be more like the ninth sister.

"A few days ago, I heard from the fourth sister that you like to eat molasses. I really can't resist the fourth sister, so I made some, but the child was afraid that you wouldn't like the taste, so he didn't take it to the private school." The second aunt waved, and Caiwei brought a plate of brown candy.

The ninth sister thanked the second aunt and took a piece and put it in her mouth. The smile on the second aunt's face was even worse, and she said how the fourth sister wanted to make friends with her. She also saw that the fourth sister became more and more shy. The second aunt gave her a small silver bracelet and a small silver bracelet to the fourth sister. Although it was not valuable, it showed that the second aunt and the fourth sister wanted to make friends with her. The ninth sister also accepted it silently.

"I don't know if Sister Jiu is ready to go out for spring this time?"

The ninth sister looked abrupt, and the gossip almost dozed her off, but the second aunt suddenly asked this must be unusual, but she pretended to be ignorant and said, "The fourth sister just helped me choose a dress and asked Yao's mother to prepare some. There should be nothing special to prepare."

The second aunt's face is always soft, "Have you heard that in addition to the young ladies and young men will go out this time, we aunts will also follow? Aunt Zhou will also go. I see that Aunt Zhou is very close to her second wife these days."

"Hmm?" She doesn't know this.

The second aunt knew that the ninth sister was really pretending to be stupid, but fortunately she had a reaction. She remembered what the fourth sister told her last time, and coupled with the ninth sister's current reaction, I'm afraid it was not as good as she guessed.

"You and Aunt Zhou haven't seen each other for a long time. At least she is your mother. I heard that the eldest brother took her as his wife when she was alive.

"Hmm!" There was a sound in the ninth sister's nose.

"Well, I'm far away from where other aunts live. I'm only next to Aunt Zhou. These days, I occasionally visit them. That fifth sister is really pitiful."

The ninth sister was silent and didn't understand what her second aunt was going to say. Maybe she knew that she just didn't like anyone to beat around her.

The second aunt frowned when she saw that the ninth sister did not respond, so she asked Cai Wei to leave with the fourth sister.

Then he said lightly, "Ninth sister, although we are not familiar with each other, you and the fourth sister are so good, and I will definitely be on your side."

The ninth sister is dumb. When will she make good with the fourth sister, but she is not going to interrupt her second aunt.
