Besides, Li Wan, when he was picking things for Daiyu to inlay jewelry that day, he was afraid that they would not let go of their minds, so before leaving, another person gave a palm-sized velvet box, which was full of scattered stones, and told the girl They play with it.Mammy Yan and Nanny Chang saw that she was giving away the blood-ruby emerald and gold crystals as if they were stones, and wanted to say a few words, thinking about Li Wan's temper, they decided to give up.The selected things were taken to the goldsmith's and sent back, and Li Wan sent someone to the girls.This end just sent people away, when the back foot Yingchun brought Xichun to the door.

After bumping into each other, Yingchun smiled and said, "We came from Baoxia at the back, Biyue and the others must have passed by from the front, just happened to be staggered." The nannie mother of the heart, left the embroidered orange to serve, and hurried back to wait for the pick-up.Thanks to her quick steps, when they arrived at the house, Biyue was looking for them, and Yingchun's mother was laughing and talking, her hands were open to take the box in Biyue's hand.

Biyue Suyun was not very well-informed with a few news, and she also knew about the matter of the nanny pawning the girl's things, whether she was giving or not at the moment, when she was embarrassed, she was relieved when she saw Siqi coming.Siqi stepped forward to take the box, and said with a smile, "Our girl is at Grandma's place. I was afraid that you might miss out, so I hurried back." The smile disappeared in an instant, and he left with his head lowered and his mouth curled resentfully.

Biyue saw that she had gone out but did not leave the house, so she reached out her hand to give Siqi a wink, and Siqi smiled and said: "Miss went to the grandma's place, and she will have to sit for a while, this new style of jewelry, the things on it are still It was all selected by the girls that day, so I might as well take it back and let the girls quickly see if it is true. The fourth girl is also at the grandma's place."

Bi Yue smiled and nodded and said, "The fourth young lady simply entrusted you to take it back. I'll go and see Suyun, she's gone to look for Miss Lin." Si Qi smiled and took the other box and went to Li Wan's place. go.Nanny Yingchun originally planned to go ahead to serve Yingchun after Siqi put things away, but there was no one in the room, so if she had this free time, she might be able to grab the first move.Unexpectedly, Siqi would act like this, so he spat a few times in anger.

When Siqi came back again, he saw Yingchun Xichun joking with Li Wan, so he smiled and offered the box and said, "Biyue is in our room, just caught up with me, and I heard that the fourth girl is here too. Simply ask me to bring the fourth girl's as well." Yingchun frowned and said, "Why did my sister-in-law send someone to send it to us, but you brought it back, isn't it a waste of time?"

Siqi curled his lips and said: "I happened to catch up, so I showed it to the girls quickly, but it was the same trick as I said last time. Besides, if I didn't catch up, it would be a waste of time. The girl's nanny is planning to Ask Biyue to give her the box, and Biyue can't move forward or retreat holding the box, luckily I'm here." After hearing this, Yingchun didn't make a sound.Seeing his girl like this, Siqi felt more and more aggrieved.

Li Wan smoothed things over and said, "Stop gossiping, open it quickly and show it to the girls." Si Qi followed into the painting, and then stepped forward to open the box.To welcome the spring are a pair of red-treasure red gold lantern earrings, a pair of eight-treasure pendant beaded butterfly hairpins, a bamboo necklace inlaid with treasures, and two pairs of shrimp whiskers.Xichun has two necklaces inlaid with precious gems, one with unicorns making trouble at the sea, and the other with monkeys stealing peaches, with different designs. The former is inlaid with emeralds, and the latter is inlaid with tourmalines; The small beads used in the bead ring bracelet are three rows in a row, with vermilion gemstones in the middle.

Several people looked at it carefully and were full of praise, Xichun said: "Sister-in-law, why is the same red treasure, this one is so bright." Li Wan laughed and said: "The stone has a different light and color, and another one has a different carving skill. Look at this. The red treasure inlaid on it is round, and you two have many facets, that one is round, and yours is dazzling." Xichun took it in his hand and compared it carefully, then smiled and said: " Sure enough, each has its own advantages.”

Yingchun also took a look, but she didn't seem to care. She hesitated a little before asking Li Wan, "Sister-in-law, last time we left... the gems that sister-in-law gave us, are there any more?" A piece of pink spar the size of a bird's egg came out, Li Wan smiled from the bottom of his heart, and said: "This is not a good thing, the color is not uniform, and the texture is also muddy. You like this?" Yingchun chuckled and lowered her head. not talking.Li Wan smiled and said to Siqi and the others: "We are going to talk, you should disperse too, there will be something good for you later." are all out.

Only then did Li Wan knock on Yingchun, and said: "It's not easy to talk about it!" Yingchun smiled shyly: "I don't mean to avoid people, but these words, to others, it seems like I am crazy. , only my sister-in-law doesn’t laugh at me.” Xichun listened from the side and said, “Second Sister, what are you talking about about formations? Tell me, I won’t laugh at you either.”

Li Wan looked at the two of them, and Xichun picked up a honey plum to eat, and said to herself, "I didn't laugh at you before. It's just that I don't quite understand what you said. Now that I've read some books, I feel that What you said also makes sense, 'God's power is beyond the reach of the eyes', indeed there is."

Li Wan recalled that Xichun had read some books on talismans before, and couldn't help but rubbed his forehead. After this, the land in Jia's mansion would almost become a dojo, with formations and talismans.The smile on Yingchun's face deepened a bit, and he said: "Last time, I told my sister-in-law that formations are divided into death, change, and birth. It can be used as long as the formation is not broken. The expulsion is different. After the formation is set up, it needs to be driven by objects. If the drive is lost, it will be a pile of dead objects, which is useless. Take the wind wheel as an example, the small ones are shaken by people, and the big ones are driven by waterwheels, both of which are driven by the original intention.

It's just that there are mysteries in this formation, and one of them is driven by spar.It's just that I have never seen the spirit stone and spirit crystal mentioned above, nor have I seen it mentioned in other books.This time I got these crystals from my sister-in-law, and I tried to make a filigree trap, but it really worked! "Speaking of this, Yingchun's voice began to tremble slightly, "No matter how you fly, the little bird can't fly within that square inch, it's really...unbelievable. Before Li Wan had time to speak, Na Xichun's eyes widened and she approached Yingchun and said anxiously, "Second sister, you only talk about such a fun thing now!"Come on, come on, show me around.If you make a few more for me, I won't need the Laoshizi birdcage, how interesting! Li Wan hurriedly separated the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, my ancestors!"Ouch! Then he said to Xichun: "Don't yell, keep your voice down, be careful that your second sister is caught as a goblin." "

Xichun grinned and let go of her hands, but she couldn't sit down, she just stood there and twisted and twisted.Li Wan didn't care about her, and asked Yingchun first, "What kind of cloth do you use?" Yingchun was taken aback, but she didn't dare to lie to Li Wan, and said in a low voice: "I used some silver needles, and... there are still a few Blood..."

Li Wan hurriedly stepped forward to hold her hand and saw that both ring fingertips were pricked by needles. He said angrily, "Are you so confused? Is this thing so important? It's so important that you can hurt yourself casually? "Yingchun hesitated, Xichun hurriedly took two steps back, waved his hands and said: "Ah, second sister, then I don't want your ghost formation, what is this formation, are you writing a blood book?"

Seeing Li Wan's anger, Yingchun hurriedly said: "There is not much blood. There are a few things that can be used, such as Shenmo, the juice of plants and trees that I have never heard of, and the blood or marrow of animals. Where can I find it?" Go to those things! Fortunately, this formation method can be replaced by the brains and blood of the people who set up the formation, but I can only lay out a very small area when I use it. At most, it can trap a embroidered eye. That's it."

Seeing her saying this, Li Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. That formation used all the hard work and effort of the people who set up the formation. Maybe it was a desperate posture. It would be good for her to become a trapped bird, and she had to be the most weak and gentle Que'er was able to survive.Then he asked her: "Did you make a mistake? Listen to what you said earlier, you are so breathless, everything in the world is at your fingertips, why is there such a flea-sized formation for people to toss around?"

Yingchun smiled wryly and said: "The formation is not small. It is said in the book that the formation of slender kites can defend against enemies from ten directions, and you can fight thousands of masters in the formation without using a single soldier..." Xichun said clearly : "That's right, it must be that our house is not big enough, and there are thousands of masters, so we have to try it in the garden at the back... No, how can Second Sister have so much blood!"

Li Wan hurriedly yelled at her: "Come on, come on, stop for me, eat whatever you like, and I'll talk to your second sister, don't interrupt me, it's useless to say something." Xichun Not angry, smiled and said: "Success, wait until I think of something useful."

Li Wan asked Yingchun, "Then how did it become such a thing in your hands?" Yingchun said helplessly, "I can't make up the whole array, let alone the ink, I can't make up even the silver needles." I have read and tried again and again, but there is only one sentence in the book, "Intent to the front of the battle". I really don't know how to focus on the front of the battle, and "complete the battle with one mind"..." Xichun couldn't help but said: "Complete the work In one battle."

Yingchun shook his head: "It's not that word, it's the formation of the formation, the meaning of the meaning." But Li Wan heard the previous sentence, "The meaning is in the realm first?" Yingchun shook his head again: "The meaning is in the formation, the formation of the formation " But Li Wan was touched by his own thought, "Intention first..." It seems that there is something that is difficult to comprehend for a while, so he has to hide this taste in his heart first, thinking that he will take care of it when he enters the Pearl Realm at night experience.

Xichun was also thinking hard on the sidelines, Yingchun still said to herself: "I really don't understand this. Naturally, there is a sequence in the formation. How can there be an intention to form the formation? Naturally, the formation will only appear after the formation is completed. Poetry and painting can only be obtained when there is poetry and painting." I really can't comprehend this mentality." Before Li Wan opened his mouth, Xichun seemed to have gained something, and said: "Second sister's words are absurd. What does it mean to have painting to have meaning? Poetry and painting can only be done with poetry and painting. People who read poems and appreciate paintings, for those who paint, they naturally intend to paint first, so don’t you know it well? If there is nothing in the chest, is it possible that someone’s painting is still a stroke of imagination? That’s not enough It's a painting."

Both Yingchun and Li Wan listened, and Xichun said again: "For a while, let's compare it with paintings. If I want to paint, I will naturally write after I have some experience with the meaning of the painting. Although my painting is written with one stroke, then The layout of the painting has long been in my mind. And the painting from the beginning to the end, naturally followed my only idea. It is unreasonable to draw a plum blossom. It is noble and clean in the first two strokes, and it is scattered and desolate in the first two strokes. Anyway, there is only one painting Artistic conception, there is no such thing as desolate, prosperous, indifferent and rich."

After speaking, Gu himself went on to choose candied fruit to eat.Both Yingchun and Li Wan listened. Seeing that they hadn't answered for a long time, Xichun looked up and saw that they were both contemplating themselves, so she clapped her hands and said, "Come back to your senses! If I say it's useless, you will look down on me. Let me say a few words that are useful, but you are ignoring me again, girls and grandmas who are so hard to serve!" Li Wan smiled and said: "Why did I ignore you, I really want to thank you very much, what you said, I'm afraid your second elder sister has realized something, even I seem to have gained something." Xichun laughed and said, "Aren't you going to say I'm useless this time?"

Li Wan said with a smile: "How dare you? Listening to the fourth girl's words is better than studying for ten years." she.After a long time, Yingchun sighed and said: "So that's how it is." Then he smiled wryly, "This way, it's even more difficult to learn. There is a way to learn more than poetry. Limited to the realm, it is so easy to get the formation." Li Wan also nodded secretly.

Several people were chatting mysteriously to each other, Suyun Biyue came back with something, Li Wan's mind was distracted at this time, and she couldn't care about other people, but the nun beside him could tell at a glance that Suyun Biyue had something on her mind.Nanny Chang's eyes flashed, and she found an excuse to call Suyun and Biyue outside.

In the evening, when everything was settled, Jia Lan went out with Mr. Zhu that day and did not return, so Li Wan took everyone to talk and wait for him in the east room.As soon as she had a sip of tea, she saw Nanny Chang and Nanny Yan looked at each other, and Nanny Yan said, "I have something to tell grandma. Although it has nothing to do with us, it's better to let me know."

Li Wan asked what it was, and Nanny Chang said: "Grandma just asked Biyue and Suyun to send things to the girls. It happened that the third girl, Miss Bao, and the second master Bao were with Miss Lin, and the two girls were sent by grandma." The jewelry I bought was all right, thanks to grandma. The things were sent by Suyun. Biyue arrived a little later, and was waiting for Suyun in the outhouse talking to a few girls and the eldest girl of Master Bao.

With a sharp nose, Biyue noticed that the Xiren next to Master Bao had a very familiar scent, like the scent of flower and fruit soap cakes that grandma had given her before.There were only a few pieces of soap cakes in total, Suyun and Biyue got more, Primrose and Qingyu only got one piece.Before, Biyue and Suyun gave a piece of peach blossoms to Miss Ping who was next to Second Mistress.

This is the peach blossom fragrance that Biyue smelled from Xiren today.Biyue was still a little puzzled, and when Suyun came out, she specially dragged Suyun to talk to Xiren, Suyun also smelled it. "

When Li Wan heard this, he nodded and said, "If you still like the soap cake, I'll ask someone to bring it to you. According to what you said, it was Ping'er who gave the soap cake to Xiren. They have always been good friends." Yes, this is also common." Yan Momo said from the side: "Grandma, do you still remember that I said earlier that these soap cakes have different aromas when used by different people?" Li Wan said: "There is such a saying, but it's not so evil , not to the point where each person has a different taste. It’s just that girls and daughters-in-law use different things, and brothers and sisters use things differently.”

Yan Momo then nodded her head and said: "That's it. Biyue said... Although the smell is like the smell of peach blossom soap, but... it's different from what they use." Li Wan Dazed, he said again: "Could it be just that the smell is close? After all, things with peach blossom fragrance are not uncommon, especially girls' rouge and gouache. ?”

Yan Momo pursed her lips and said: "It's not easy for us to ask Miss Ping if she gave the soap cake to others, but...just now...just now Miss Ping happened to bring something, and Biyue took peach blossom soap to clean it for her. Wash your hands, Miss Ping's peach blossom soap tastes the same as Xiren's." Li Wan said oh, the nuns and Suyun Biyue all looked at Li Wan, and Li Wan lowered his head and began to drink tea.
