"Return to the wife, it's almost the end of Mao." The maid reported.

"It's already so late." Ji Yun took the silk handkerchief handed by her maid and walked out the door. Song Sui shook the paper fan and followed behind.

The four concubines waited for Song Ruoxi to approach and bowed and said, "I have seen the second girl, and the second girl is very blessed."

"Four concubines, I have a blessing." Song Ruoxi nodded slightly, as if he had returned the gift. These were all what An Yu taught her before, but now they all came in handy.

"I would like to pay tribute to the second girl, please come in." Rong Qiao said while saluting Song Ruoxi.

Song Ruoxi raised his legs into the room, saw Ji Yun and Song Sui, and bowed, "Daughter greets my father, I wish my mother good luck, my mother good luck."

Ji Yun stepped forward and helped her up, "My son, why did you come here so early?"

"Xi'er is here to pay tribute to her father and mother."

"My daughter is filial." Ji Yun said happily.

"I wish you a blessing to the master and a blessing to the wife. I wish you a blessing to the master and a blessing to the wife." The four concubines walked in and saluted.

Ji Yun hugged Song Ruoxi and sat on the couch. Song Sui sat opposite them, and the four concubines retreated to the side and stood.

"Dad, don't you go to the yamen today?" Song Ruoxi asked.

Song Sui's lips bent slightly and said, "Dad is going to leave today, so I won't go to the yamen."

While speaking, Song Huai, Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan came to pay their respects one after another, but Song Ruohu did not appear again. Ji Yun didn't care and said, "Let's pass on the meal!"

The breakfast at the Song family was porridge and buns, and the buns were divided into meat filling and vegetarian stuffing. Song Ruoxi habitually picked up vegetarian stuffing buns. Ji Yun felt heartbroken when she looked at them. Her baby daughter never ate vegetarian stuffing buns before, but she was forced to eat vegetarian stuffing for so many years. Her round little face was thinner like melon seeds. "Xi'er, don't eat vegetarian stuffing buns, eat more meat filling buns."

Song Ruoxi was stunned for a moment and replied with a smile: "Okay."

Seeing that Song Ruoxi had eaten meat buns, Ji Yun said again: "Xi'er, after breakfast, you go back to your room to sleep."

“I’m not sleepy.”

"You get up so early in the morning, how could you not be sleepy?" Ji Yun didn't believe her.

"Mom, I'm getting up late today. I get up at the temple every day and go out to climb the mountain."

"Climbing the mountain?" Ji Yun frowned, "What are you doing for climbing the mountain? Did you fall and touch it?"

Song Ruoxi explained: "Mom, climbing a mountain can breathe fresh air, exercise, and be in good health, so people will not get sick easily."

Song Sui suddenly realized, "This must be the way to maintain health for the gods."

"That's right, Shen Ni is over 80 years old and is in such good health." Ji Yun believed it.

"Xi'er, Daddy, I'm going to take you to climb a mountain today, okay?" Since climbing can exercise, Song Sui wanted to take advantage of his time today to climb and take his daughter with him, and also show his kind side of the father.

"Okay!" Of course Song Ruoxi is willing to go out to play.

"Master, you can't be so partial to take Xi'er alone. If you want to go out to climb the mountain, just bring Huai'er, Chi'er and Juan'er together. There are more people and it's more lively." Ji Yun showed her love for her concubine's daughter as her legitimate mother. As for the eldest girl Song Ruohu, she didn't mention a single word.

"Okay, go together." Song Sui wanted to be a kind father today and agreed.

"Thank you, my father, thank you, my mother." Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan quickly stood up to thank you. The eldest sister foolishly angered the wife, and they benefited from it. The wife took the initiative to ask her father to take them out.

Aunt Liu hesitated for a moment and decided to fight for Song Ruohu. She stepped forward and said, "Master, don't you bring the eldest girl with you?"

"Mrs. Liu, the eldest girl is sick. The doctor said she should rest in the room. She went out to bask in the sun and blew the wind. What if the condition worsened?" Ji Yun asked with sufficient reason without waiting for Song Sui to speak.

Aunt Liu opened her mouth, but was speechless.

Aunt Xu and Mei showed gloating smiles on their faces. A stupid woman, you must be caught by the wife! Now the big girl will be "raised" in the house for a long time.

"When Hu'er is sick, he will have a good rest at home and go there again if he has the chance." Song Sui finished drinking the porridge, put down his chopsticks, and took the mouthwash brought by his maid.

Seeing that his father had finished breakfast, Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan did not dare to delay and quickly swallowed the bun in their mouths.

Song Sui took three daughters and one son out and went to Xiaoyi Mountain outside the city. The father and son rode horses, each of the three daughters brought a maid, six of them were in a carriage, and six servants followed behind them. Not long after they left, a guest came to the door. No one else came, and it was Xiao Ze's parents.

The big red gold-painted greetings were sent in in beech boxes. After Ji Yun read the visitings, although she did not know Jiang Yuanli, she sent someone to invite guests into the hall to serve tea, while sending someone to recover Song Sui.

When Song Sui heard that a guest was visiting, he had to return to meet the guests.

Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan finally went out, even if they couldn't go hiking outside the city, they would be strolling on the street. The two exchanged their eyes, and Song Ruochi came to Song Ruoxi, "Second sister, you just came back, why not let your sister accompany you to play on the street and buy something by the way!"

"Okay." Song Ruoxi also wanted to go shopping, so she didn't mind letting them use her as an excuse.

"Father, the second sister wants Juan'er to accompany her to the shop on the street to buy something." Song Ruojuan lifted the curtains and said softly.

"What do Xi'er wants to buy? Daddy asked me to buy it for you."

Song Ruoxi blinked, "Dad, Xi'er has been staying in the temple and hasn't been on the street for a long time."

When Song Sui heard this, his heart softened and said, "You go on a walk on the street and buy whatever you want, but don't go home too late to avoid your mother's worry."

"I understand, dad." Song Ruoxi smiled and bent his eyes and replied obediently.

"Huai'er, take good care of your sisters." Song Sui told Song Huai and asked the coachman to turn his horse's head and walk back.

"Sister, where do you want to go first? Rouge Shop, Silver House, or Study Shop?" Song Huai asked standing by the car window.

"Where do you want to go?" Song Ruoxi turned his head and asked the two concubines.

Song Ruochi's answer was: "I'll listen to my second sister."

Song Ruojuan's answer was: "I want to go to Yinlou."

The two of them spoke different answers in unison.

"Huai'er, go to Yinlou." Song Ruoxi adopted Song Ruojuan's opinion.

"Go to Jincui Tower." Song Huai turned over his horse and accompanied him to the largest silver building in Guangling Mansion by his carriage.

"Second sister, there is a pastry shop near Jincui Building. It is decorated very elegantly and you can sit in it and drink tea and listen to music." Song Ruochi introduced to Song Ruoxi calmly.

"After going to Jincui Building, we will go there to sit and drink tea and listen to music." Song Ruoxi smiled. Since she was as Song Ruojuan's intention, of course she had to meet the needs of Song Ruochi, which was not biased.

A hint of joy flashed in Song Ruochi's eyes. The second sister was much easier-minded than before.

"Second sister, there is a silk shop opposite Jincui Building. I heard that a lot of new fabrics have been imported. Can we buy a few pieces of cloth and make new clothes?" Song Ruojuan came to Song Ruoxi and said intimately.

Song Ruoxi glanced at her and smiled and said, "We originally planned to go out to climb the mountain, but we didn't bring too much silver on our body. Let's go and see it next time."

"Oh." Song Ruojuan was a little disappointed, and then retreated to her original place and sat down.

A sneer flashed across Song Ruochi's lips.

Jincui Building is located in the most lively East Third Street in Guangling Mansion. He walked all the way, and there were endless hawking sounds. Although Song Ruoxi wanted to lift the curtains and see the street view, he saw Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan sitting upright, without looking at him, as if he didn't hear the sound outside at all, so he had to endure it.

The carriage stopped and stopped, but did not stop at the main entrance of Jincui Building, but turned into the alley on the side and stopped at the side door.

"Sister, we're here." Song Huai got off the horse and walked to the car.

The three maids took out the curtains and put them on the three girls and got out of the car one by one. Someone was waiting at the side door of Jincui Building. When they saw a guest coming to the door, they greeted him and greeted him, "You are here, Mr. Song!"

"The second sister of the Japanese young master is here to choose a few pieces of delicate gold ornaments and jade, and ask your shopkeeper to come and serve him." Song Huai's tone was a little arrogant.

Song Ruoxi's eyes turned slightly. Song Huai gave her the feeling that she always liked to be quarrel and quarrel, and she was not a serious little brat. But after these two days, she knew clearly that he was scheming, scheming, and cunning that was not his age. Even in front of Song Sui, he was wearing a mask, respectful and without saying a word.

"Second Young Master, please sit in the Yashi with the three girls for a while. The younger one will go and notify the shopkeeper to come." The man asked a maid to lead the way and sent them to the Yashi.

The backyard of Jincui Building is very spacious, with a round pond dug in the middle, but the lotus leaves in the pond are already broken. If summer comes, you will definitely be able to see a pool of blooming lotus flowers, and there are ten elegant rooms built around the pond.

Jincui Building has a good business, and there are people passing by several elegant rooms.

"What's going on?" Song Huai asked in a deep voice unhappily.

The maid looked at Song Huai quickly, hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth, and brought everyone into the innermost elegant room.

When Song Ruoxi opened the door, he saw the picture hanging on the wall, the huge rocks in the pine forest, and the figure sitting on the huge rocks. Why did he look so familiar?

"Sister, what's wrong?" Song Huai asked in confusion when he saw her standing by the door and not going in.

"Ah, nothing." Song Ruoxi withdrew his gaze and walked in. The decoration inside was very simple, with six chairs and a round table. There was an incense burner on the small table in the corner of the wall. The fragrance of laurel was burning in the stove, which was faint. It made me feel happy when I smelled it. The wooden window opened half a fan, and a blooming wooden lotus leaned against the window frame.

The four of them sat down, and the maid served tea.

"Oh, it's the best Mingxiang." Song Ruochi smelled it and said happily.

Song Ruojuan raised her eyebrows disdainfully and said, "Sister Three, haven't you ever had good tea. Do you need to make such a fuss?"

Song Ruochi's face was slightly red and she lowered her head to taste tea.

The shopkeeper of Jincui Building had arrived and came in and bowed to Song Huai. "The second young master is here, and the young man is in trouble to welcome him. I will forgive him for his crimes."

"Shopkeeper Shang, don't say anything if you forgive me. My second sister wants to pick a few pieces of gold ornaments and jade that she likes, bring the good things in your store, and let my sister pick them up, don't hide them." Song Huai said with a smile.

"Second Young Master, I have always been sincere to you, so I dare to hide it." Shangshang turned around and took two five-layer carriages from Xiao Er who was following him and placed them on the table. "There are all new gold jewelry and excellent jadeware in it."

"Shopkeeper, who painted this painting?" Song Ruoxi couldn't help but ask.

"If you want to go back to the girl, this painting was painted by the young master of the young master of the young master of the family." Shang Jianguan said with a smile.

"What's the surname of your boss?" Song Ruoxi asked afterwards.

Song Ruochi and Song Ruojuan both sneered contemptuously. They lived in the temple for a long time and did not understand the worldly affairs. They didn't even know etiquette and shame. They actually asked the young master's surname in public.

"Sister, if you don't sell this painting, don't inquire." Song Huai hurriedly helped his sister cover it up.

Song Ruoxi realized that she had asked the wrong thing, but now she could only make mistakes, "But I like the artistic conception of this painting, I want to buy it."

"Sister, let's go to the calligraphy and painting business later. If you choose the painting you like, buy a few more. This is Jincuilou. People sell gold ornaments and jade artifacts, but they don't sell paintings."
