"Grandma, I'll leave first, and I'll talk to you tomorrow."

The red sun is about to set off, and Chen Qingqing accompanied her grandmother to play the last game of chess, stretching her waist while feeling sweet and authentic.

Song said no, and instructed his granddaughter: "Even if you are in your own house, you must bring a maid around you wherever you go, otherwise what if you fall on the road?"

Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm not Wang Ge'er, I'm still falling when I'm so old."

Song snorted: "You talk too much."

Chen Qingqing hugged her grandmother coquettishly and left now.

Chen's house is a house specially granted by Emperor Qingde, the queen of Chenqu. It has a quiet landscape. In midsummer, no matter where you go, you will see strange flowers and stones. The sun is softer. Unfortunately, Chen Qingqing is not interested in enjoying the scenery at this moment. He walked all the way to the corner of the path leading to the third bedroom. Chen Qingqing hid behind a piece of green bamboo and waited for Li Zhi nervously.

She asked Li Zhi to bring pastry over. In order not to let his parents handle the food box for the pastry, Chen Qingqing must meet Li Zhi by chance again.

I just don’t know if Li Zhi will be obedient.

Chen Qingqing held the veil and stared at the main road diagonally opposite. The back of her hand suddenly itched. When Chen Qingqing looked down, she saw a flower mosquito lying on the back of her hand!

Chen Qingqing quickly grabbed the handkerchief and took pictures!

The mosquito died, leaving a little blood on the back of her fair hands, and soon a bag was raised where she was bitten.

What made Chen Qingqing even more angry was that new mosquitoes kept flying around!

On one side were the embroidered shoes that fell into the hands of the man outside, and on the other side were the buzzing mosquitoes. Chen Qingqing weighed and then chose the former. But in order not to be bitten by mosquitoes, Chen Qingqing retracted her neck into the collar, then hid one hand in her sleeve, and the other hand fanned around the cheeks on both sides at any time to prevent the mosquitoes from landing.

After waiting for about two quarters of an hour, Chen Qingqing saw her father coming back, and only followed her father's Changsui Agui.

Chen Qingqing thought about it, and when her father entered the yard, she hurriedly ran out so that she would not continue to feed the mosquitoes. Li Zhi might have come later, so she would stay by her father and meet Li Zhi with her father, and then directly take away the not-so-prime apology cake prepared by Li Zhi for her.

"Dad, I came back very early today."

As soon as Chen Tingwen entered the main hall, he heard his daughter's sweet voice. He smiled and turned around. Just as he was about to talk to his daughter, he saw two bamboo leaves sticking to the top of his daughter's head.

"How did you do it?" Chen Tingwen asked strangely.

Chen Qingqing touched her head and lied to the point of lying: "I saw a bunch of flowers behind the bamboo on the road, so I leaned over and took a look. Oh, I didn't expect there were many mosquitoes there, look..."

As he said that, Chen Qingqing raised her hand and showed two big red envelopes on her back.

Chen Tingwen felt distressed and hurriedly asked Agui to find an itch-relieving plaster.

After a while, Chen Qingqing washed her hands and applied medicine, and then stayed in the front yard.

After a while, it was time to have supper. Chen, Chen Su and Chen Wang also came to the front yard.

Chen Qingqing's heart gradually sank. Sure enough, until the gatekeeper got locked up, Chen Qingqing didn't wait for Li Zhi.

"Bastard, scoundrel..."

Before going to bed, Chen Qingqing rubbed the mosquito bag on the back of her hand and cursed with gritting her teeth.

Li Zhi did not show up in the next few days.

Chen Qingqing waited for three consecutive days and gave up. She just waited for one day to meet and asked Li Zhi clearly. For the rest of the time, Chen Qingqing kept thinking about what birthday gift to give to the queen. Everyone knows that the queen loves orchids. Shen Jiarong embroidered the screen of the molan table, and Shen Jiayi embroidered an orchid picture with her own hand. Chen Qingqing felt that she had to prepare a gift that had nothing to do with orchids, otherwise the queen would be fucked if she received so many orchids.

"Mom, do you have any special preferences for aunt?" Chen Qingqing asked with her chin. There were only five days left before the end of the month, and her gift was still not visible. Chen Qingqing was a little anxious.

Chen shook his head and sighed: "Your father, the four brothers and sisters, the one who lives the most like your grandfather is the Empress. Can you tell me what your grandfather likes?"

Chen Qingqing had nothing to say.

Chen gave his daughter an idea: "Embroidering a square orchid and veil, it is simple and can show filial piety."

Chen Qingqing bit her lip and compromised, "Then embroider the veil first, and then talk about other gifts."

After packing up the embroidery needlework, Chen Qingqing went to her grandmother to embroider, which also meant to spend time with the old man.

Song sat next to his granddaughter. Seeing that his little granddaughter's stitches were fine and the orchids were also vivid and elegant, he nodded and praised: "We Qingqing is not only beautiful, but also have a good girl. I don't know which man you want to get a discount in the future."

Chen Qingqing lowered her head and snorted: "My grandmother hoped that I would get married soon as soon as she returned to Beijing. Are you tired of me?"

Song smiled and hugged his granddaughter and kissed her granddaughter's head.

The grandparents and grandsons were tired of it for a while, and Chen Qingqing looked at the needle and thread in her hand, but was still dissatisfied: "Fifth sister, sixth sister gave all needle and thread. I'll give you a handkerchief, it would be strange if my aunt likes it."

Looking at the worried look of his granddaughter, Song asked tentatively: "Qingqing cares about the Empress's opinion of you?"

Chen Qingqing was stunned. Thinking of the queen's aunt being Du, she was afraid that her grandmother would misunderstand. Chen Qingqing hurriedly said, "No, grandmother, I think I've just returned to the capital. I didn't give gifts for my aunt's birthday before. If I don't spend more time this time, what should I do if my aunt has a grudge? Although we can't deliberately please, we can't make things difficult for others. Do you think?"

The little girl thought clearly, and Song said with relief: "This is the reason, Qingqing has grown up."

Chen Qingqing smiled.

Two sparrows flew out of the window and stopped on the eaves and chirping. When Song heard this, he suddenly remembered something: "If you want to tell me what I really like, I remember that when she was a child, she raised a yellow oriole. Later, the bird died of illness. The nun was sad for a long time. Now she is in the palace, because of the word "无" and acts a lot, Qingqing will give a yellow oriole."

Yellow oriole?

Chen Qingqing thought this gift was good. The yellow oriole was both beautiful and pleasant, and was most suitable for fun.

Thinking of doing it, Chen Qingqing immediately went to find Chen Su and asked her brother to accompany her to the bird shop to pick up gifts.

Chen Su always responded to his sister's request. After knowing her mother, Chen Qingqing changed into men's clothes, and the brother and sister set off.

Bainiao Pavilion is the largest bird shop in the capital. Rich families who like to raise birds will come here to choose their favorite birds.

Chen Qingqing was visiting this kind of shop for the first time. After her brother walked in, her eyes were not enough. She saw that the first floor was covered with bird cages of large and small, with snow-white pigeons all over the body, fists-sized cardinals, parrots with bright feathers, and parrots were divided into several types.

"Are the two young men here to stroll around, or do you have any birds you want to buy?" The shopkeeper came up with a smile.

Chen Su replied to her sister: "Is there a yellow oriole?"

The shop guy nodded immediately: "Yes, right here, please follow me for two."

The first floor is very spacious, with two rows of bonsai dividing the pavement into three pieces, and birds such as yellow orioles, larks and other birds are on the east side.

There were seven yellow orioles in the shop, and Chen Qingqing picked out the one with the most beautiful feathers.

"You two will check out now, or will you continue to stroll?" the shop guy asked considerately.

Chen Su looked at his sister.

It is rare for Chen Qingqing to leave the door again, so of course she wants to take a while.

Chen Su understood and asked the shopkeeper to take care of the yellow oriole first. He walked around with his sister, and followed a young man who could help them explain various birds at any time.

The first floor is mostly common birds. The brother and sister finished their shopping quickly and their eyes drifted to the second floor. Chen Qingqing asked the young man: "What kind of birds are there?"

The young man said, "The second floor is full of ferocious birds, such as goshawks, eagles, vultures, swallows and falcons. Do you want to go and see them?"

When Chen Qingqing heard the word "evil bird", she immediately lost interest. She was about to pull her brother to check the bill, but suddenly a clear voice came from behind the railing on the second floor, which was a clear voice that made her disgusted: "Mr. Chen, long time no see."

Chen Su looked up and saw Li Zhi standing behind the railing, looking down at them from a high position. The powerful Pingxi Hou wore a round-necked robe with dark cloud patterns on white background. His phoenix eyes were smiling and handsome, and his face was gentle and elegant. He looked even more and more unlike a businessman or military general.

"So it's the marquis." Chen Su bowed high.

Li Zhi glanced at the little girl who kept her head down and invited with a smile: "I am picking eagles. Are you interested in going upstairs to watch?"

Chen Su knew that his sister was afraid of the ferocious birds, so he directly declined: "We appreciate the beauty of the marquis..."

However, before he finished speaking, Chen Qingqing interrupted him and whispered: "Brother, I want to go and have a look."

Chen Su was surprised and looked at his sister and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Chen Qingqing said coquettishly: "I'm a little scared, but it's definitely okay if I have my brother with me."

She is not interested in the ferocious birds, but she must settle the score with Li Zhi!

Chen Su is not such a foolish person. Thinking of the outstanding appearance and noble identity of the Pingxi Hou upstairs, and his sister is at the age of falling in love, Chen Su couldn't help but feel sank. If his sister wanted to deliberately approach Li Zhi and violate the upbringing of a lady, then as a brother, he must stop him.

"It's almost noon. Let's go home first. I'll come with you next time." Chen Su said authentically without any discussion.

The brother looked serious and Chen Qingqing was shocked.

At the same time, Chen Su spoke again and politely rejected Li Zhi.

Li Zhi smiled and said warmly: "Since you have something to do, I won't force you to keep it anymore, I won't send it far away."

He nodded in a stern way, and took his sister's arm toward the counter.

Chen Qingqing was unwilling to give up. After walking two steps, she looked up at the second floor.

Li Zhi had been waiting for her, and when he met the little girl's vicious eyes, Li Zhi changed to a bitter smile, as if he was unable to speak.

Chen Qingqing didn't believe him! Why, the dignified Pingxi Hou had the time to pick birds, but he didn't have the time to fulfill his promise to return her embroidered shoes?

After a while of anger, Chen Qingqing pouted unconsciously.

When Chen Su met, he misunderstood that his sister was angry because she couldn't approach Li Zhi, and her mood became even more complicated.

After the bill was settled, the brother and sister walked out with their own worries. When they were about to step out of the Hundred Bird Pavilion, a young man chased after him and said to the two of them in a box that was a foot long: "The rules of the shop are that any distinguished guests who visit the shop for the first time will present a phoenix wood carving. The wood carving is made of ordinary materials and express their feelings. I hope the two young men will not dislike it."

After saying that, the young man opened the box and exposed a phoenix ornament of a yellow flower pear inside.

Chen Su was a little surprised. The phoenix ornaments were exquisitely carved and could be sold for some price. I thought that Bainiao Pavilion was rich and powerful, so I used this method to attract repeat customers?

"Thank you."

Chen Su took the box and immediately handed it to his sister.

Chen Qingqing's angry brother cut off her chance to question Li Zhi. He was about to be angry, but suddenly saw the young man beside him wink at her.

Chen Qingqing thought of Li Zhi.
