    Early in the morning of the 28th, Hua Xi had a meal, took a walk in the courtyard, and came back to shower and change clothes.

    Cuiming spent a long time choosing, but couldn't agree with her, and finally chose a light green crepe piping tapestry jacket, paired with a white bottom embroidered Begonia Lake silk skirt with a large hem, Hua Xi nodded.  After changing into clothes, Cuiming tied a lavender belt around her waist, with a white satin double-butterfly sachet on it. As she moved the sachet gently with her steps, the butterflies seemed to come alive.

    After changing it, Hua Xi looked up and down, feeling refreshed, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Don't make your hair too complicated. It was pulled up to the top and tied into a bun. The root of the bun was tied with a lavender ribbon."  Fix it, and fasten a half-palm-sized silver begonia inlaid with tourmaline on the side."

    Cuiming stood behind Hua Xi with a comb in her hand and said, "Girl, I know you don't like bright colors, but these clothes are plain enough. After all, the old lady is celebrating her birthday, so your hair accessories can't be so careless anymore."

    "My clothes are simple and my hair accessories are too complicated, which makes me top-heavy. It's better to be more refreshing and neat like this. How about adding two silver leaf hairpins"

    Cuiming couldn't resist Hua Xi, so she had to follow her instructions and do her Uighur bun.

    After packing up, Huaxi took the birthday gift to Hexiangyuan.

    When Huaxi arrived, the old lady had already stood up, and the housekeeper was holding a gift list and singing to her in the hall.

    Before Hua Xi went in, she was talking to Cha Xiang at the door, and heard the butler inside read: " Director Han of the Ministry of Rites, a sandalwood Guanyin statue; Wu Yi, the governor of Luzhou, a pair of mutton-fat jade Ruyi;"

    "Wait a minute, bring me the gift list."

    Because Yun Yi and Chen Hongfei were engaged, although there was no birthday banquet organized this time, gifts from various families arrived early.  The gift list in the butler's hand was more than ten pages, and the old lady couldn't bear to listen. When the butler mentioned Cheng Chong's predecessor Wu Yi, she came over to take a look, and then handed it back to the butler, so that he didn't need to.  Read it again and file it in the warehouse.

    Hua Xi entered after the housekeeper retired.

    "Why are you here so early in the morning?" Mrs. Xiao was in a good mood, with a smile in her eyes.

    Huaxi responded with a smile: "Today is your birthday, and there will be people staying in this room for a while. Huaxi came in advance to greet you and then went back. Come back during the birthday banquet in the evening."

    Hua Xi handed the slippers and incense to Cha Xiang and asked her to present it to Mrs. Xiao.

    "Old madam, please don't blame me for being clumsy. I padded the soles of those two pairs of satin embroidered slippers with rabbit down. They are not suitable for now, but they are warm enough to wear indoors in the winter. The other two have a light lavender scent and are suitable."  For use in the summer.”

    Mrs. Xiao stroked the upper of the shoe, nodded and said, "You are such a careful kid. Look at how these shoes are made. The flowers are beautiful and the stitching is fine. They feel comfortable even when you look at them."

    Huaxi replied with a smile: "As long as you like it."

    Mrs. Xiao asked the tea aroma to be put away, and then said: "My old lady is celebrating her birthday, so don't be bored in your yard. Sit and talk with me. We can't invite the opera troupe to sing today. The Marquis asked the housekeeper to find someone.  We have two storytellers and two singers waiting at the Binhu Building. When your little sisters arrive, we can go over and have a look. We will have lunch at the Binhu Building."

    Huaxi really didn’t want to join in the fun today, but Mrs. Xiao had already spoken. She couldn’t help but refute Mrs. Xiao’s face, so she could only nod in agreement. She was thinking about going to the Binhu Tower to find an opportunity to return to Qixia Garden.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? As Mrs. Xiao chatters here and there, the wives, grandmothers, and aunts of each house come over one after another to pay their respects.  Hua Xi hurriedly got up and made room for the ladies, and moved to the edge to stand.

    Suddenly, the main hall of Hexiang Courtyard seemed a little crowded, and the chatter was all about auspicious words and congratulations. Mrs. Xiao made a few jokes with everyone with a smile on her face.  The eldest lady was busy with the birthday banquet. She sat down for a while and then left. Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Feng both followed their mother-in-law to help.  Mrs. Xiao then sent away the aunts in each room, leaving Aunt Li, the second lady and the third lady to talk.

    Just as the aunts left, Yun Lin and Yun Xin arrived.

    Yunlin wore a pink and white Hangzhou jacket, with a moon-white skirt trailing to the floor. The skirt was embroidered with a circle of pink peach blossoms. She had a high bun with three jade peach hairpins inserted diagonally on the left and right.  Because of the talent show, Yunlin lost a lot of weight, her chin became sharper, her originally bright eyes were a little more misty, and her pitiful and delicate appearance was somewhat similar to Yunxin.

    Yunxin is wearing a sapphire blue dress with white magnolia embroidered on the front. She has a plain white belt tied around her waist, and a green palace ribbon embellished with a white lotus jade pendant tied around her waist to hold it down. The blue ribbon is drawn up and her hair is twisted into a peony bun.  , with five sapphire-embedded hostas pinned to the front, the whole person does not look as ill as in the past, but more elegant and refined.

    The two of them saluted the old lady and said hello, Yunlin sat next to Mrs. Xiao and saidAs a perfect person, how can I do everything?  I can't say anything, so you insist on pulling me down"

    While we were talking, Cuiming outside the door came to tell us that Mu Xiuyuan was looking for Huaxi with a book by his side.

    Mu Xiuyuan is surrounded by servants who serve as bookkeepers and chess players, and maids who serve as painters and harp players.

    Hua Xi frowned, reasoning that Mu Xiuyuan should accompany Prince Cheng and others at this moment, why did he send a servant to look for him?

    Yun Yi was also puzzled, "I'm here to look for you. Most of the nobles have something to ask you, so go and have a look."

    Hua Xi nodded and followed Cui Ming outside.

    The waiter was sweating profusely from running around. When he saw Huaxi coming out, he hurriedly went up and said, "Miss Huaxi, Prince Cheng wants to ask the girl about some perfumes. The third master asked me to come and look for the girl."

    Hua Xi asked: "Where are the Marquis and the other masters? Are they all in one place?"

    "The Marquis, the eldest son, and the second master accompanied Prince Ping and Prince Ouyang to Binhu Tower to listen to music, and the third master accompanied Prince Cheng at Huayu Pavilion."

    Huayu Pavilion is located between Binhu Tower and Lanyue Tower, not too far from the place where Yunlin's sedan broke down just now.

    Hua Xi asked in confusion: "Why didn't Third Brother and Prince Cheng go to Binhu Tower?"

    The servant replied: "Prince Ping and Prince Ouyang went there in a sedan chair. Prince Cheng said that the scenery in our mansion was beautiful and he wanted to take a walk, so the third master and young master Biao accompanied him in the garden. When they arrived near the Huayu Pavilion, they heard that  He said that the sixth girl's sedan chair was broken, so Master Biao asked him to go over and have a look. Prince Cheng said he was afraid of bumping into the girl, so Third Master accompanied him to Huayuting. Then Prince Cheng asked about the birthday gift given to Prince Ping in the palace last time.  The third master asked if the incense in it was made by you. The third master said yes. The prince then said that he had a problem and wanted to ask the girl for advice. The third master then sent his servant to look for you."

    The king of the county invites you, so it’s hard to refuse.

    Hua Xi could only nod and said: "Then go ahead. Don't keep the prince waiting. It would be inappropriate to turn back and delay the nobleman's meal."

    "That's right, please, girl!"

    With Shishu leading the way, Huaxi asked Cuiming to say hello to Yunyi and catch up. He followed Shishu to Huayu Pavilion first.

    Within a moment, Cui Ming caught up from behind and pulled Hua Xi's sleeve.

    Hua Xi paused, turned around and asked, "What's the matter? But what else does Fourth Sister have to say?"

    Cuiming whispered: "Girl, when I just chased you, I saw Hongliu over there I seem to be holding the white jade incense burner that the fourth girl gave you last time"

    Red willow?  Huaxi sneered in her heart, would she really find time to cause trouble?  I won’t be able to keep her here after today!

    Hua Xi’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, and Cui Ming was startled, “Girl, what are you doing…”

    Hua Xi said coldly: "Nothing! Go catch Hongliu now, no matter what she wants to do, I will stop her! Even if you drag her, you have to drag her back to Qixia Garden and let Chunying and Muxi watch her.  You tell her, if she doesn't want to be beaten to death with a stick, just go back to the garden. Don't think that she is from Mother Wang. The old lady doesn't dare to do anything to her or cause trouble, and neither does Mother Wang.  I can’t save her!”

    Cuiming was frightened by Huaxi's harsh tone, and looked at Huaxi in horror with her eyes wide open.

    Hua Xi knew that her tone was harsh and sighed, "If you don't want to be implicated by her, come back to me now. By the time she causes trouble, it will be too late There's nothing you can do about it! What do you think?  Would a nobleman care about the life of a maid"

    Cuiming took a breath of air and nodded hastily, "I, I'll go right now!"

    Huaxi was irritated. She originally thought that Hongliu was planning Yunyi's dowry, but she didn't expect that she would jump out today What was she going to do with the white jade incense burner?

    Seeing that Huaxi and Cuiming didn't come up, Shishu stopped in front.  Hua Xi glanced at Shishu, suppressed her uneasiness, and followed him.

    When Huaxi arrived at Huayuting, the people left behind told him that Prince Ping was going to visit the garden. Crown Prince Ouyang sent someone to invite Prince Cheng to Binhu Tower.

    Hearing the news, Huaxi breathed a sigh of relief, sent the servant to Mu Xiu, and walked back to Lan Yue Tower.

    Going west from Binhu Tower, passing by Huayu Pavilion and then to Lanyue Tower, there are several good scenery along this line. Huaxi thought that Prince Ping and others were going to visit the garden, so she did not return from the original road and prepared to go north through the quiet and deserted area.  From Shutong Garden, go back to the Moon Tower in the west.

    There is no courtyard wall in Shutong Garden. It is surrounded by a large sycamore forest. There is a rockery group in the center, surrounded by a pond. There is a pavilion in the pond. The two sides are connected by the Jiuqu Bridge in front and back. After passing through the pavilion in the pond to the north bank, you can  There is a road that goes around the Moon Tower.

    A man in Huaxi walked through the sycamore forest and walked to the pond. Suddenly he heard the sweet fragrance of apricot blossoms.  The woman in purple lowered her head to play the piano, and behind that person stood a man in purple shirt, listening to the piano.

    Hua Xi secretly screamed in his heart that it was bad and hurriedly retreated behind the rockery. Unexpectedly, he didn't take two steps back and hit a wall of flesh behind him.  Huaxi was so frightened that she was about to scream, but someone hugged her with one hand from behind and covered her mouth with the other. With a slight movement, she was pulled into the rockery.
