At the beginning of summer, catkins are flying and flowers are flying, and the warm wind is blowing.
The young lady of the Liu family, He Mudan, was sitting on the porch, squinting her charming phoenix eyes, filling sunflower seeds with a slender silver spoon, and teasing the green parrot on the shelf to flick and talk.
Whenever Dansui said: "Peony is the cutest." She would reward it with a sunflower seed, and said in a gentle tone: "Duisui is so smart." She skillfully spit out the melon seed shell, swallowed the kernels, and peeled them with her paws. He picked up the horizontal bar under his feet, took two steps sideways, and said proudly: "Dui Dui is so smart."
Peony laughed out loud: "Yes, Dui Dui is really smart."
"Young Madam, it's time for you to take a nap."
A man in pink A maid with a green half-arm, a silver-red high-waisted skirt, a round face and big eyes walked over, grinning and making a face at Shuandui, pretending to hit it.
Already more than ten years old, the imprisoned Danidai was not afraid at all, and screamed in a strange voice: "Dead lotus!"That tone was similar to that of Yutong, the other maid next to Mudan, who was soft and soft, and she had to turn a few times. The voices are exactly the same.
It's just paired with Dandui's weird accent, it's funny no matter how you listen to it.Yuhe did not laugh loudly as usual, but quietly glanced at Mudan.
Mudan stood up with no expression on her face, handed the silver spoon in her hand to Shu'er, the little maid standing beside her, stroked her eight-piece pomegranate red skirt, turned and walked inside.Yuhe glared at Dansui and cursed in a low voice: "Stupid bird! Don't imitate that shameless Yutong in the future. Otherwise, I won't give you rice to eat!"
Regardless of whether Dansui understood or not, he lifted up his skirt and quickly He chased after Mudan in the direction he left."Young Madam..." As soon as Yu He shouted, he was frightened by the tall figure at the end of the corridor and shut up.
She stood up as fast as she could, put her hands against her legs, and shouted loudly in a voice that Peony could definitely hear: "Young Master!"Liu Chang dusted off the exquisitely crafted dark purple round collar. Jinpao said a faint "hmm", raised his head with his hands behind his back, and walked slowly to Mudan's room.
Yu He quickly stepped forward, opened the exquisite Xiang Fei bamboo curtain, and invited the male host to enter.
Liu Chang glanced around the quiet room with a pair of slightly sinister eyes and said, "Young Madam, are you taking a nap again?"Yu He diligently served the tea, nodded and bowed, and said with a hint of flattery: "Yes, Young Madam, get up in the morning. , I feel a little dizzy." As he spoke, he peeked at Liu Chang's expression.
Liu Chang's thick and straight eyebrows raised slightly, "Have you invited a doctor?"
It was probably because his temper was unusually good today, and Yu He was a little uneasy.
"Young Madam said it's an old problem. Just lie down for a while. There's no need to trouble the doctor."Liu Chang didn't comment and suddenly walked in: "Get out of here."
Yu He trembled in fright when he saw his movements. The smile on his face became more and more flattering.
"Master, my servant will open the curtain for you."
Liu Chang glanced at her coldly, and said firmly from his thin lips: "Get down!"
The smile on Yu He's face suddenly disappeared, and he backed away with his head lowered. .
Liu Chang stood outside the curtain, looking through the crystal curtain at the large rosewood bed.Twelve silver flat-top flower and bird screens were wide open. The cherry-colored tent hanging from the tent frame was already half-worn. The gold-inlaid phoenix-head tent hooks shimmered in it. The pink brocade quilt was spread neatly, and no one was seen sleeping. on top.
Liu Chang frowned and cast his gaze on the beautiful couch by the window, shrouded in the spring sunshine.
As expected, she saw a pomegranate red dress hanging down from the couch, touching the ground gracefully.
Peony was leaning on the couch, covering her face with a plain white fan to block the sunlight.
