Xu Yu gradually recovered from his health and could sit up and talk to his sisters. He would occasionally go out for a walk and would not be short of people to accompany him every day, which would be fun.

When he was alone, he looked in the mirror and found that his whole body had been reduced a lot, his eyebrows and eyes were almost the same as Zhu Mingzhi's frown, and he looked pitiful. Not only did he pity himself, but he felt that his father, elders and people around him were all implicated, and he could not eat well and could not sleep well. Since then, he has paid special attention to his physical health and his outlook on life has become more mature.

Every day, I either play chess with Lanxiang or write poems with Zhu Mingzhi. I was in a good mood. After a few days, I suddenly recovered and began to encourage everyone to come here again.

Seeing that he was already very happy, Mu Lanxiang summoned his sisters to discuss it. Zhu Mingzhi and others moved into Yisouyuan one after another. It happened that these days was the birthdays of Zhu Ruizhu, Xu Yunning and Xiao Binglan, and they had a fight for several consecutive days.

In Yisou Garden, since the girls moved in, they felt that flowers, willows and willows are affectionate, and the mountains and rivers are full of colors. It is truly a mansion that is not deep, and is a spirit that is spiritual. No matter how beautiful it is, it is a dead thing.

At the end of August, Xu Ye came back from another place. Lianyi and Ye Qin were very happy. They checked the things that her husband brought back and sent them to each room.

The only gifts for Mu Lanxiang and Zhu Mingzhi were given to Xixiangxuan in person. As soon as they entered the door, they saw the girls sitting together digging watermelons to make lanterns.

Lianyi walked over and said, "Are you all done when you are full? This watermelon lantern has to be dug out many patterns. With your skills, you can't finish it today, and it will be broken tomorrow."

"It's okay to have an ice cellar." Mu Lanxiang waved to her and pointed at her watermelon skin, "Sister-in-law, come and comment to see who's finely carved."

Lianyi looked down and saw that the orchid was carved with the four characters "Eight Immortals' Arched Longevity" in the detailed script of the Buddhist scriptures, corresponding to the eight pictures of the Eight Immortals; Zhu Mingzhi was a pattern of the four gentlemen of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, and carved out four double-hook seal characters "Full Moon and Life". The two women's watermelon lanterns were very exquisite, obviously they used big thoughts and praised them at the moment.

Let’s look at Xu Yu’s other words, which are the scattered flowers of the mandarin ducks playing with lotus, while the purses are four mortal landscapes, and Zhu Ruizhu is a hydrangea with two lions. Riliyi smiled and said, “We all used good ideas. In terms of conception, it’s better to be the sister Lanxiang, or to be meticulous or the sister Mingzhi is the best.”

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are prejudice. I'm not done yet. You can see it again after you're done, so you can't help but see your eyes."

"You're already petty in your mind."

"Then forget it."

Xu Yu put down the knife, turned around and saw a large satin box on the ground, and asked, "What is it inside?"

Ye Qin said, "Your brother is back, it's what you want."

"That's great, I'm thinking." Xu Yu jumped up and urged everyone to take the watermelon lantern away quickly, and urged Chunyan and Qingyun to wipe the table. Everyone was amused when he saw his anxious look.

In a blink of an eye, the table was packed. Everyone surrounded him and saw him. Xu Yu reached out and opened the bag. It was a large peony flower with the best silk and embroidered with flat gold thread.

"Okay!" Xu Yu opened it and saw that the satin was dazzling and was not an ordinary product, and hurriedly asked, "Who is this for you?"

Ye Qin said, "Your brother dare not favor one and the other. As such, one piece per person is the same. One more piece per person in the East Mansion."

"Why?" Xu Yu asked.

Ye Qin said, "Don't you know? Last month, Uncle Wu made a marriage for Lier. Master Shi's sister Ling is going to be hired in the blink of an eye."

Xu Yu suddenly said, "I heard about it when I was sick. Xu Yi got married so quickly? It's incredible. I forgot about these things because of carelessness. It's because of my brother and sister-in-law. Are these gifts given to us?"

Xu Li is Xu Hai's eldest son, not the biological son of Zhong Kegu and Wu Yechun. His biological mother died of prematureness and almost never came here. However, he was favored by his eldest wife Wang in the eldest house. After all, he was the first male. At that time, the master was a famous scholar in Jinling. It was not too early for Xu Li to get married at the age of sixteen.

Lianyi smiled and said, "Don't worry about us. Shouldn't we keep one? There are more than a dozen of these bags, everyone in the garden has a share, and there is one to give to Mr. Lu."

Xu Yu hurriedly asked, "I was about to ask my sister-in-law, but I heard that Mr. Lu and Miss were invited to live here. Mr. Lu agreed. Why didn't he come after a month? Are you still living on the boat? Don't let Master Lu get rid of the heat."

"Even if the heat is bad, I won't do your business." Lianyi smiled, "I said I've done it, but later you got sick and the whole family seemed nervous. Master Lu said it was inconvenient to come. After returning to the master, he had already rented a house outside. Most of the women always came to pay their respects to his wife."

Mu Lanxiang asked, "Does sister-in-law know what name the lady calls?"

"I don't know this." Lianyi said again: "I just heard that I am not young, I am very good-looking, and I can still make trouble."

Xu Yu said proudly: "That's because you don't pay attention. I know her name is Soqin."

Zhu Mingzhi, who was on the other side, then chuckled: "You like to ask about these things. Do you have someone in your heart? Unfortunately, they don't know you yet."

"I don't care that she knows." Xu Yu said while measuring silk.

At this time, the little magpie beside Lianyi came in and said, "The eldest young master asked grandma to go back, something is wrong."

"Okay!" Lianyi agreed and ordered the things in the satin box to be taken out. One of the packages was opened, which was ten pairs of black silk cloaks and ten sets of satin jackets. Zhu Ruoyu said in a panic: "What do you want this?"

Mu Lanxiang smiled and said, "Nothing is what I want, this is what Yuer wants to respect his wife."

"I thought you were going to wear a cloak now, so why did you make a move?" After Zhu Ruoyu said, everyone laughed.

Ye Qin opened other packages one after another, including exquisite tent edges and bed curtains, eight sets of flowered chair cushions, two large boxes of shaved nan fragrant powder and some high-quality donkey-hide gelatin, peach and apricot and other dried fruits. They were asked Chunyan and other maids to collect them in.

The girls thanked each other collectively, Lianyi and Ye Qin sat for a while and went back together.

Forbidden City, Cining Palace.

Xiao said to Empress Dowager Zhang: "It's true that enemies are not gathering. These days when Yu'er was recuperating, Lanxiang and Mingzhi were inseparable from the side. Needless to say, Yu'er and Lanxiang were in love since childhood, Mingzhi and his love were also divided into this area. The three children could not break it up."

Empress Dowager Zhang sighed. She died of illness before she left the house. She really couldn't bear Zhu Mingzhi's other bad luck. As long as Deqing survived, she wouldn't mind that the two girls and the one husband would marry together.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at Mrs. Mu and Aunt Xiao and said, "But two sisters, who are the older and who are the younger?"

Aunt Xiao hurriedly said, "Empress Dowager, we Xiangyao has a good temper since we were young, so she can match everyone no matter who we are. Besides, I feel so distressed when I look at her. It is probably because the two sisters were destined to have a fate in their previous lives, so I just want their sisters to be together. What is a big and a small!"

Empress Dowager Zhang nodded frequently and sighed: "Well said that it is rare for the lady to be so considerate and considerate. Alas! This is your mother who has fulfilled our mothers."

In Yangzhou City, Liu Yun said to Lu Xiong: "I gave 50 taels of silver for free the day before yesterday, but there was no effect at all. Obviously, the silver was spent in vain, which was really not worth it."

"Brother is good. He's just too impatient." Lu Xiong smiled and said, "You have to simmer this kind of thing slowly. As long as she collects my money, it's already two parts and can't think of me. I want her to come up obediently, of course I have to go through some trouble."

At that moment, Wang De took a few pieces of silk, went to the street market to match the four-color water gift, and arrived at the Shen family. He said to Shen: "My master was in Suzhou a few days ago and disturbed Mr. Shen several times. The young master originally planned to wait for Mr. Shen to set off, and prepared a gift to send him. Unexpectedly, he came to Yangzhou first, so he sent me to send the gifts over, so he hoped that his wife would accept it with a smile."

As he said that, Wang De put everything on the table, with a dazzling array of things.

Wu quickly said, "Your young master brought back a message. I haven't thanked me personally yet. How could I accept your mercy again? I dare not accept it. The housekeeper asked you to take the things back and greet you on behalf of him. The woman will not thank you."

"Madam, please spare me." Wang De smiled bitterly, "When I came, the young master repeatedly told me that if you don't accept gifts, I won't let me go back to see him. Besides, I have bought all the things and cannot be returned. You, please take it as pity for me."

"No, no." Wu said this. In fact, most women's families are greedy for small gains. They think that they have a good intention. If they insist on not accepting it, wouldn't they annoyed their friends for their husbands? And seeing that these things are valuable, they became even more moved. They changed their words without realizing it: "Oh! Thanks to your young master's reward, and with a strong refusal, it seems that my family is ungrateful. I feel ashamed of accepting it. Let's just repay it again next day."

"That's right." Wang De smiled and said, "If the family doesn't speak two families, I'll help the wife take it in."

On the Liu family, Lu Xiongxi, who received the letter, said, "I'm sure." Then he said to Liu Yun proudly: "How? I'm not afraid that she is smart. As long as she is a woman, she will be obsessed with my Tao."

Liu Yun couldn't help but look at him with admiration. Lu Xiong had no wisdom and no lack of cleverness, but he just didn't know what the ending would be.

On the Shen family, Wu took the gift from someone else and said to his daughter: "How can our family accept it for free with the so many politenesses of the surname Lu? But your father is not at home and I don't know when he will come back. Once Mr. Lu returns to Suzhou, it will be too rude. I thought it would be better to prepare a banquet. Anyway, I am almost forty years old, so it's nothing to see him."

Shen Langu said disagree: "It should be a gift, but it is difficult to invite him to the house. Mr. Lu, who is opposite, is a young man, mother. It is better to send the banquet to you, everyone can be content."

Wu nodded and said goodbye. The next day, he invited his neighbor to the restaurant to book a banquet and sent it directly. Lu Xiong did not refuse when he saw it, and accepted it with a smile.

Liu Yun, who was watching, said, "Li is back and will never owe anyone favors from now on. What do you say?"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiong smiled and said, "This game has been six points. Come on, let's drink and you will be done soon."

Liu Yun was stunned by it, thought for a while and suddenly realized it, shouting: "I understand, you kid didn't plan to steal someone secretly, but wanted to marry him openly? Yes, right?"

Lu Xiong laughed: "That's right! This is called an open plot. I think I suffered many losses in small plots and I almost couldn't make it up for my whole life. I had already learned my lesson. When that beauty came in obediently, wouldn't it be up to our brothers to benefit at will?"
