"These are a few girls in the family chatting and joking with the old lady." Mrs. Yi smiled and explained, so as not to misunderstand that the Yi family had no rules.

Ji Yun smiled indifferently and said, "The old man likes his children and grandchildren to talk and laugh around his knees. My old lady is the same."

Jiang Yi and Mrs. Yi accompanied Ji Yun into the room. Song Ruoxi and his three sisters followed side by side. When they entered the door, they saw an old lady wearing a mysterious embroidered flower bun tilted on a three-sided jade-inlaid screen couch. Four girls in red and green were sitting on the round pier beside them.

"Sister Song, you are here!" Although Jiang Wei talked to Old Mrs. Yi, he kept looking out the door with the corner of his eyes. When he saw Song Ruoxi coming in, he stood up and greeted him.

The one wearing red clothes was Yi Youzhen, the one wearing blue clothes was Yi Youxian, the other wearing blue clothes was Yi Youxian, the other wearing green clothes was Yi Youde, the third girl in the second house. After seeing Mrs. Yi and others entering the door, the three stood up one after another.

Song Ruoxi raised his lips and smiled slightly at Jiang Wei.

Ji Yun ignored the affairs of her younger daughters and smiled and saluted Old Mrs. Yi, "Good old lady."

"Madam Song, don't be too polite." Old Mrs. Yi had not waited for Ji Yun to carry the ceremony, but she had already stood up and reached out to stop her. Although she was older, she had no imperial decree. The ancestors of the Yi family had a first-rank official position in the previous dynasty, but after the establishment of the Fujian Kingdom, no one in the Yi family had served as an official. It had been four generations since Master Yi's generation. Song Sui was a fifth-rank official, and Ji Yun was a fifth-rank pleasant person, more noble than her, the identity of the old man Bai Ding. It was already very surprising that Ji Yun could salute her. This Mrs. Song was not proud of her official position, but was willing to respect the elderly and was worthy of making friends.

The Yi family was not an official in the court, and relying on the rent of the Yushan Mountain in Xinping County and the rent of thousands of acres of fertile land and the rent of more than a dozen shops in several towns, they could also have food and clothing and long-lasting wealth. However, after all, from the noble family of officials to the noble family of officials, it was a leisurely farming family. Master Yi intended to let his two sons enter the court to become officials and restore their family status. However, he was also as noble as scholars, and most of them were literati and poets, and he was unwilling to take the initiative to make friends with officials. This time, because of Xiao Ze Xiao Wei's affairs, he was related to the prefect. Behind the prefect, there were two families of Song Ji, which helped the two sons to become officials in the future. What satisfied the Yi family the most was that this was not an active relationship, but to express gratitude.

Jiang Wei had already taken Song Ruoxi's hand and dragged her to the old lady Yi, and said with a smile: "Grandma, this is Sister Song that Xiaowei has told you. Look, is she much more beautiful than Xiaowei?"

"Old lady is good, old lady is lucky." Song Ruoxi's hand was held by Jiang Wei, and it was difficult to stop and salute, so he had to bow slightly to express his intentions.

Old Mrs. Yi was still blinded. She had long seen three girls with beautiful eyes coming in with the three ladies. The three girls had the same hairpin, rings, skirts and jackets, and even the same hair buns were tied. But what she saw at a glance was Song Ruoxi, not only because her appearance was the best among the three sisters, but also because her temperament was extraordinary. Even though she wore a peony representing wealth, she was still elegant like a quiet orchid outside the world.

"Miss Song is indeed much more beautiful than you." Old Mrs. Yi nodded with a smile.

Ji Yun smiled modestly and said, "The old lady is so loving, my Xier is not as good as Miss Jiang."

Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan came up to greet Mrs. Yi. The three girls from the Yi family gave gifts to Ji Yun. Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Yi met with the three sisters of the Song family for the first time. They gave gifts and were packed in mahogany jade boxes. Their appearance was the same, and they could not tell who was thick and who was thin.

Ji Yun also gave the Yi sisters and Jiang Wei a gift, which was also in a carved mahogany box. The seven girls greeted each other again. After a complicated politeness, they left the seat and the maid served hot tea.

Song Ruoxi relaxed his breath, lowered his eyelids slightly, and held the cup to drink tea, with an elegant posture. Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan performed well, holding the tea cup with their left hand, gently holding the tea cover with their right hand, and slightly raised the tail finger.

Mrs. Yi and Mrs. Yi saw it with a faint smile on their lips. I heard that the second girl of the Song family had just returned from the temple, but she saw that she was sitting and walking, but she was not like a person who had lived outside for a long time. Although the other two were born in vain and behaved gracefully and generously. This shows that the Song family's boudoir education is indeed extraordinary. Even if the girl is like this, the young master's upbringing must be better. The Yi family should have a good relationship with such a family.

The two families are not familiar with each other, and it is difficult to talk about the common sense, but after a few words about the girls' dress and education experience, how many children are at home, I talked about the scenery near Guangling Mansion. The girls sat quietly, with decent smiles on their lips.

"If we say what we are, don't be here, go to the garden!" Old Mrs. Yi chuckled.

Yi Youzhen agreed and led the other six people out to the garden. The garden was very exquisite and unique, with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions, towers, rockery, and the colorful chrysanthemums blooming, which complemented the blooming yellow sunflowers.

There is a small wooden square pavilion in the rockery. The pavilion is equipped with hot tea and snacks. Yi Youzhen invites everyone to sit down and drink tea, and everyone can enjoy the garden view from a high place.

"Big sister, with such a beautiful scene, why not ask someone to play a few sets of songs?" Jiang Wei said with a smile.

"Only my sister's proposal is very good. Sister Yu never thought that it was really rude." Yi Youzhen smiled at Song Ruoxi's sister apologetically, and called the maids who were serving her around her to come here to play a few sets of songs.

"Remember, just the Xiaoqin is good." Jiang Wei, a handsome man, added from the back.

"Slowly, older sister, it's better to do it ourselves instead of listening to them. Grandfather often says that it's great joy to entertain yourself." Yi Youde turned his head and looked at the three sisters of the Song family, "I don't know what instruments the three Song girls are good at?"

"My second sister plays the guzheng, and the third sister plays the pipa." Song Ruojuan took the lead without waiting for Song Ruoxi to answer.

Song Ruochi frowned slightly and looked at Song Ruoxi. Seeing that she did not show any unhappy expression, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Yi Youde clapped his hands and said happily: "It's great, the eldest sister and Wei sister play the piano, the second sister play the zither, Miss Song San plays the pipa, Miss Song Er plays the guzheng, I play the hole flute, Miss Song Si, what do you know?"

"I am like my third sister, and I can play the pipa." Song Ruojuan smiled and bent her eyes. Thinking of Aunt Xu's words, it is impossible to point at her wife to help find an excellent family in the family. She has to plan more things. Today, it is rare to visit the Yi family. Along the way, the Yi family has a very good family background. If they can get their likes, her marriage will be settled.

"Three sisters, Miss Song and the others are here to visit, so you must not be rude." Yi Youxian disagreed with looking at Yi Youde. After pretending to behave for a while, his true colors were revealed. It was so anxious.

"What's the matter? We are all about the same age. Isn't it better to talk about vain and play with fun like those old-fashioned people?" Yi Youde curled his lips in a pampering way.

"Miss Yi San said very well, just be as easy as you want." Song Ruojuan said with a smile.

"Okay, don't call me Miss Yi San, I will be eleven in March next year. How old are you?" Yi Youde took her hand and asked friendly.

"I'll be twelve in February next year."

"Then I call you sister Juan'er, call me sister De'er!"

"Okay, sister De'er."

Jiang Wei smiled and said, "You sisters call me, so we just sort of age. If you don't call me, it seems like we're not going to be a girl."

Yi Youzhen and Song Ruoxi looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes, following these small meanings. Rowed the ages, Yi Youzhen and Song Ruoxi were born six days earlier than Song Ruoxi. Yi Youxian and Song Ruochi were the same year and had three months apart in birthdays. Jiang Wei and Song Ruojuan were the same year and had one month apart in birthdays, and Yi Youde was the youngest.

After the sisters called it, Yi Youzhen asked the maid to get a few sets of musical instruments they often used, as Yi Youde said, entertaining themselves. They had fun in this room, while the two young masters of the Yi family and Jiang accompanied Song Huai into the garden.

Hearing the music, Yi Xiaoqi smiled and said, "This must be the sisters having fun in the garden."

The four of them walked along the road and saw a few girls sitting in the rockery pavilion from afar, dressed in red and green, and separated by far. Although it was difficult to see clearly, they were surrounded by pearls and green flowers, which was pleasing to the eye.

"Brother, why don't we go over and see what they are doing?" Yi Xiaoqi suggested when he was young and playful.

Yi Xiaoxiu, the eldest son of the Yi family, is a scheming and cautious person. Thinking that Song Huai is a man of a man, it is inconvenient to meet his sister. Besides, the sister is in the pavilion, and the Song family girl must be there. They are also men of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of a man of

"Brother, even if you have a good family, you are the brother and sister of Shi, so there are so many taboos. Brother Huai, cousin, are you right about what I said?" Yi Xiaoqi knew his elder brother's temperament very well. After a change of mind, he came up with this statement, and forced Song Huai and Jiang to cooperate with him.

Song Huai was stunned and laughed in silence.

Jiang Ze clenched his fist in front of his mouth, coughed lightly, and said, "We did not meet them deliberately, but just met them in the garden. If we don't go to the greeting, we will seem too petty and unrestrained."

"My cousin is right. He is too petty and too ignorant to adapt." Yi Xiaoqi nodded heavily and said seriously.

Yi Xiaoxiu looked at Yi Xiaoqi helplessly, and his second brother had to be polished.

"Brother Yi, I came to visit the mansion. I didn't expect to meet a girl from the mansion in the garden. I should come forward to pay tribute to you." Song Huai was worried that Song Ruoxi would be bullied and wanted to see his sister.

One to three, Yi Xiaoxiu could only go to the pavilion to greet the girls. The maids saw four people coming and reported to the girls who had fun in the pavilion: "Girl, eldest, second, cousin, and another young master came here."

Yi Youzhen and Yi Youxian have finished playing, and now Song Ruochi is playing the pipa. When he heard the report, he stopped.

The leading man was wearing a royal blue dark flower brocade robe, with brocade ribbons tied around his waist, with a handsome appearance and a strong bookish look on his eyebrows.

The young man walking side by side with Song Huai had a slightly darker complexion and a somewhat similar appearance to Mrs. Yi. His facial features were upright, and he wore a round necklace embroidered on white background, which was a head taller than Song Huai and looked more powerful.

At the end was Jiang Ze. He was the most outstanding among the four. He was wearing a sky blue flower-spreaded round necklace and a green jade Pisces pendant hung around his waist. When Song Ruojuan saw the light in his eyes, he was moved and couldn't help but secretly praised, "What a beautiful young man."

The three sisters of the Yi family were also looking at Song Huai. They saw him wearing a snow-green embroidered colorful round-collar robe, with a dignified look and a radiant look, with a majestic aura that the two brothers did not have. As expected, he was a descendant of an official and was different from ordinary people.

Everyone was going to give some greetings again. The three sisters of Yi and Jiang Wei all received the salutes to Song Huai in a regular manner, "The little girl has met Mr. Song."

Song Huai bowed and returned the favor one by one, calling himself Xiaoke and calling the other party a girl.

Song Ruoxi and Song Ruochi went up to salute Yi brothers and Jiang Ze respectively, calling themselves a little girl and calling each other a young man.

"Ruojuan has seen three young men." Song Ruojuan raised his head slightly, smiled at Jiang Ze, his eyes flowing, with a hint of charming charm.

Song Ruoxi, Song Huai and Song Ruochi frowned at the same time, claiming that they were already rude in their name, and looked up at Jiang Ze laughing, which made them even more frivolous. They just were guest at other people's houses in front of everyone, so they couldn't scold her, so they had to pretend not to care and turn their heads away.

Jiang Ze's expression did not change and he returned the courtesy indifferently, "Xiaoke sees Miss Song, Miss Song is polite."

The pavilion was too narrow, and the four young men did not enter and stood outside the pavilion. Yi Xiaoqi looked at the vertical pipa placing the pavilion and asked with a smile: "'The Wu Si Shu Tong Zhang Gaoqiu, the empty mountains are condensed and clouds are not flowing.' I wonder who can play this pipa, and can you play a song, so that I can feel what it means to 'The cold light melts in front of the twelve doors, and the twenty-three silks move the purple emperor.' How?"

"My second sister can play." Song Ruojuan jumped out again.

Song Ruochi's heart trembled slightly and he looked at Song Huai. He saw a flash of anger in his eyes and complained secretly, "What's wrong with the fourth sister today?" He made mistakes again and again.

Song Ruoxi didn't think deeper this time. He wanted to play the guzheng when he brought it, but there were only four more listeners. He smiled calmly and sat down in front of the guzheng. A song "Qingyin Water Tune" slowly flowed out from his fingertips.

As the music was like seeing the water birds roaming at night on the beach, by the pond, the night was hazy. In an instant, the clouds were pushed away by the wind, and under the moonlight, the flowers were swaying and shadowing. The layers of curtains covered the lights. It was late at night, and the wind was still blowing; in the early morning, the fallen flowers were colorful, and the fragrance of flowers was filled with the scenery. People walked in the scenery, gradually moving away, and the music slowly disappeared.

Song Ruoxi has not played the guzheng for several days after returning. Song Ruojuan thought she had lived in the temple for a long time and had never played it. Her skills were already unfamiliar and would definitely be ugly today, but she did not expect that she played so melodiously that it made people forget their worries and immersed in it.

At the end of the song, Song Ruoxi stood up, owed her body, and said modestly: "The little girl is ugly."

"Miss Song Er is so modest. This song is so good-played! I have never heard such a beautiful music before." Yi Xiaoqi praised.

Jiang Ze praised: "This song should only be found in heaven, and it is rare to hear it on earth."

Song Huai raised his lips slightly, with a deep smile in his eyes. His praise and honor were naturally unparalleled people in the world, and no one could compare to them.

Yi Youde pounced on him and hugged Song Ruoxi's arm, and said coquettishly: "Sister Xi'er, can you teach me how to play the guzheng?"

Song Ruoxi was startled by her sudden actions, looked down at her pink little face, very cute, and replied with a smile: "Okay."

"Thank you, Sister Xier, Sister Xier is so nice." Yi Youde said sweetly.

"Miss Song Er, don't look at the third sister who looks well-behaved now. In fact, her personality is the most tricky and weird. Don't be deceived by her. She will give you a headache at that time." Yi Xiaoqi kindly reminded Song Ruoxi.

"Second brother, you hate it! Whoever says that about your sister." Yi Youde yelled unhappy and stomped his feet.

Yi Xiaoqi rolled his eyes to her, "What I'm talking about is the facts, so that the second girl will not be fooled by you, and will be unable to escape, and will complain."

"You..." Yi Youde had no choice but to turn his head and explain to Song Ruoxi, "Sister Xi'er, you listen to his nonsense. I'm very obedient, I must listen to you."

Song Ruoxi chuckled and comforted Yi Youde, who was about to be furious, "I won't listen to him. I know, you are very obedient, you will listen to me."

Yi Youde was satisfied and turned around and smiled at Yi Xiaoqi in demonstration. Yi Xiaoqi grimaced her. Yi Xiaoxiu felt a headache. With a guest, his second and third sisters didn't know how to restrain themselves and were still making trouble. It was so rude and too rude!

Song Ruojuan intended to attract Jiang Ze's attention, so he picked up the pipa and played "Thinking of Spring" with a ding-dong dong. When spring comes, the stream rises, and the man sways by the door of the boat. I lifted my skirt and got off the dressing table, and came to visit each other secretly. The boat was empty and melancholy. When did I have a red lotus? When did I have a wave of flowers? I have a blind date and depend on each other without any barriers.

When Song Ruojuan heard this song pop up, Song Huai was so angry that he almost vomited blood. The Song family's face was thrown away. Song Ruoxi touched his forehead and expressed his admiration to men in public when he met for the first time. I really don't know if he should admire Song Ruojuan's boldness or despise her for having no brains; Song Ruochi looked at Song Ruojuan with the eyes of a madman.

The five brothers and sisters of the Yi family looked stiff and didn't know what to say.

The Jiang brothers and sisters looked at each other. Song Ruoxi was elegant and refined, Song Huai was steady and generous, and the other girl Song was also respectful. Why was this girl Song so unscrupulous?

Fortunately, this speechless and embarrassing scene was resolved by the maid who came to invite them back to the hall for lunch. Everyone left the pavilion and went down the rockery, the man went left and the woman went right.

Song Ruojuan was still embarrassed and kept looking back. Song Ruochi was so angry that she pulled her arm hard, lowered her voice, and gritted her teeth and asked, "Fourth Sister, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Don't worry about it." Song Ruojuan shook her hand away and looked at Jiang Ze who was leaving with his eyebrows slightly frowned. Why didn't he look back and look at her?
