Chapter 457 Twins
Whether it is the original site or the newly planned location, Yucun is square and square, and even the small alleys are not crooked.
Exiting the food shopping street is the main road of the village. You have to walk along this road for a while, then turn left into an alley. When you reach the end of the alley and turn right, you will see the gate of Xie Zhuoyi's house. .
A few people chatted and laughed along the way, especially the twins, who talked as closely as the three of them.
The two children are wearing the same improved version of Hanfu today. They have a lotus pink stand-up collared double-breasted jacket. There is a circle of white rabbit fur from the collar to the front, hem and cuffs. The lower body is a strip of lotus root pink. The horse-faced skirt has gradient colors from bright red to bright red. The pattern is of apricot blossoms and spring rain. The birds on the branches are bordered with gold thread. When walking, the hem of the skirt sways, as if you can see flowers blooming and hear birds singing. It is very spiritual.
Not only do the twins look and dress exactly the same, they even have the same high ponytails, and their voices, postures and expressions are also almost the same. Seeing them standing together, it's as if one of them is projected by an invisible mirror.
The twins' clothes are this year's new winter clothes from Chunjian Studio, and were designed by Wenxi himself. When she was in the fruit shop, she caught the twins running past and recognized them immediately.
After learning that it was the two children Xu Qingsong was talking about, Wenxi not only wanted to help Liu Wangxue as a favor, but also really felt that the clothes they wore were particularly beautiful, so he took the initiative to chat with the twins. Got Hanfu.
Due to the influence of Wen Xi and her own need to write scripts, Liu Wangxue knew a lot about Hanfu. Unexpectedly, the twins also had rich knowledge in this area, so the four of them fell in Behind the team, there is a small world of its own.
If the twins' previous love for Liu Wangxue was because of Xu Qingsong, then now it comes from the bottom of their hearts. The conversation was so lively that they almost regarded Liu Wangxue and Wenxi as confidants.
Wenxi remembered that there would be a new model in the studio in the next few days. It was also a Spring Festival model specially designed by her. The pattern was based on next year's zodiac sign. The inner style was the same as what the twins were wearing now, except that it added a quilted jumpsuit. hat cape. The quantity of this model is not large and it is only sold online. At the end of last month, the online store opened the third wave of pre-sales, and it was sold out in seconds.
"In two days, I will give each of you a suit, which you can save for the Spring Festival." Wenxi said to the twins, briefly introducing the suit, and saying, "It's just right for girls of your age. "It looks really good on me."
The twins were suddenly startled, looked at each other, and paused in their movements of scooping up ice cream.
Liu Wangxue also realized that when Xu Qingsong told everyone about twins on the way here, he did not tell everyone that they were twins. When he introduced them to everyone at the fruit shop, he just said Whose name was said. She thought that he must have done it on purpose and couldn't help but laugh.
When the twins saw Liu Wangxue's expression, they immediately understood. The two of them have accepted being mistaken for each other well since childhood, and they often deliberately switch identities and pretend to be each other to play pranks. Although one of them is a boy and the other is a girl, relatives and friends cannot tell them apart. The two of them dressed up today not only because they really liked them, but also because they wanted to deliberately confuse their eyes and test whether their brother, whom they had not seen for a long time, could recognize them.
The result was a big disappointment. Xu Qingsong didn’t even need to observe carefully. He called “Beibei” and “Kangkang” accurately.
Now that they can play games again, the twins reacted quickly and did not let Wenxi notice. Kangkang said: "Sister, can you not get the female version? Can you give us a set of men's version? "
The second half of this sentence was heard by Xu Qingsong, who was talking to Du Yunkai in front. He turned back and said in a serious tone: "Kangkang."
When he turned around, Du Yunkai. , Tao Huayu and Li Yu also looked back.
Liu Wangxue trailed half a step behind Wen Xi, smiled and gestured to Xu Qingsong, making a "shh" motion, indicating that he should stop talking.
Beibei on the side also blinked at him, and then said to Wenxi: "Yes, sister, we want to try men's clothing."
The eyebrow lawsuit between them only happened in an instant, Wenxi I was a little stunned by Kangkang's words just now. I didn't see it at all. Then I thought about it, it's just about wearing clothes. Men's and women's, whatever you like.
Wen Xi smiled and waved to Xu Qingsong to express that she didn't mind. She really wanted to give it as a gift. She looked at the twins again and said, "Well, you two also have a bit of heroism in your eyebrows and facial contours. Put on a little makeup and dress it up, and it will look good in men's clothes. I happen to have new men's clothes there, and I will send them to you another day."
The twins suddenly laughed together: "Sister, we are actually men. My child."
Wenxi was really surprised this time. Not only her, but also Du Yunkai, Tao Huayu and Li Yu in front looked back again: "What?"
Then I went to see Xu Qingsong and thought, aren't these two pretty little girls? It turned out to be a boy?
Xu Qingsong deliberately didn’t mention it. He guessed that the twins might play an identity swap game again this time, and thought that everyone would be able to tell the difference when they met. However, he didn’t expect that Kangkang and his sister They were all wearing women's clothes, so they simply didn't say anything and waited to see what they were going to do.
The result is this? Xu Qingsong sighed in his heart, could it be that he has grown up and become sensible and started to restrain himself?
When he met everyone's looks, he had no choice but to say "Stop making trouble" to the twins, and then explained: "Dragon and Phoenix twins, Kangkang is a boy and Beibei is a girl."
The twins were unhappy because he directly revealed the secret.
Everyone thought it was amazing. I had never seen identical twins of the same gender who looked so alike. They were actually twins.
Tao Huayu said on the side: "I can't tell the difference at all."
Du Yunkai nodded in agreement.
Li Yu turned to look at the two of them and said to himself, they are obviously easy to recognize. He remembered it after Xu Qingsong introduced him, but he didn't expect that Kangkang was actually a boy.
After several people were surprised, they looked at the twins carefully and asked a few questions in an attempt to distinguish them, but in vain.
While continuing to walk forward, Wenxi saw that the twins were concentrating on eating ice cream and fruit slices without saying anything, thinking that they were still in a mood. She couldn't recognize who was who, so she patted them both on the shoulders: "Don't be unhappy, my sister will give you two sets for each of you. There are both men's and women's styles. Wear whichever one you want, okay?" ?”
The twins laughed again when they heard this. In fact, the ice cream in the bowl was almost melting, and they wanted to finish it quickly. The ice cream and yogurt were successfully fused together to wrap the fruit particles, and the two of them held the spoons and stirred in sync: "Sister, you don't have to spend money, we are joking."
Liu Wangxue just watched The glance at Wenxi means that if you meet someone who likes Hanfu for the first time, he will refuse your generous offer. She deliberately asked the twins: "You really don't want it?"
The twins shook their heads.
Liu Wangxue's expression and tone were immediately full of regret: "It's a pity. I don't know who was talking just now. My favorite brand now is Chunjian."
She raised her hand and pinched Beibei's cuffs, pretending to look at the clothes: "Do you know who the designer of your clothes is?"
She let go of Beibei's cuffs and pointed. Pointing to Wenxi: "It's her."
The twins' eyes widened together, their expressions and movements synchronized. They forgot to eat the fruit that was brought to their mouths. They held up the spoons and opened their mouths slightly to look at Liu Wangxue. Looked at Wenxi again: "Really?"
It only took a little more than a year for the twins to fall in love with Hanfu, and it was also because of the game "The Twenty-One Cases of Zhaozhao". At first, I went there to support my brother, but after playing, I became a true fan. The two have also cosplayed with the main characters in several cases, especially the male and female protagonists in the case of "The Ghost Boat". The videos and photos released at the end of March at the beginning of the year not only received a lot of praise in the circle, but also attracted a lot of attention. Out of the circle.
Although the twins are only in the third year of high school at a young age, they are already two-dimensional old people. However, they have always only focused on their own preferences and never messed around. Because being in a mixed circle will inevitably expose you to chaos, which can really affect your mood.
After falling in love with Hanfu, the twins started looking for relevant information to study and research on their own. They have a separate "workshop" at home in Beijing, which they usually use to make some COS costumes and props, but now they also have Hanfu-related materials. For example, the costumes for "Ghost Boat", ranging from clothes to a red hairpin, were all made by the two of them themselves.
After all, the clothes used for COS are not suitable for daily wear, and the amount of work to make a set of clothes is really too big. The twins are currently students. Although Xie Zhuoyi and Xi Muya support them preferences, that is also on the premise that academic performance is guaranteed. Therefore, Hanfu twins are bought for daily wear.
It took the twins a long time to choose the brand "Chunjian". Chunjian has not yet opened an offline store in Beijing. At first, they shopped online with the mentality of giving it a try. After receiving a set of spring clothes, I jumped right into it and never looked at other brands again.
Similar to playing cosplay, the twins only pay attention to the clothes themselves and pay no attention to things in the Hanfu circle. They are never interested in fashion news and gossip news. Therefore, they had no idea that the founder and designer of Chunjian was Wenxi, let alone that she was a good friend of their sister-in-law!
Xu Qingsong naturally wouldn't tell them this for no reason, but he still said that Liu Wangxue was the screenwriter of the game.
The spoons held by the twins fell back into the bowl. One hugged Liu Wangxue and the other hugged Wenxi. They asked in succession: "Really? Really?"
The first four people The man who was chatting looked back again: "What's wrong?"
Xu Qingsong Guess: "Are you coaxing the children?"
Liu Wangxue and Wenxi raised their hands to touch the twins' heads, and said with a smile, "It's true."
The twins let go of them, They turned around and hugged each other, jumped twice slightly, screamed at the top of their lungs, and laughed again.
After laughing, they asked Wenxi together: "Sister, can we ask you for advice?"
Beibei: "We plan to release another COS set after the year."
Kangkang: " But there are still several problems that cannot be solved when making clothes.”
Beibei: “I don’t know if it’s a cutting problem or a routing problem, but I can’t achieve the effect in the picture.”
Kangkang: “We tried many ways, but it just didn’t work. Know what the problem is.”
"Yes, no problem." Wenxi took out his mobile phone and agreed happily, "Add a friend to facilitate communication?"
"Okay!" The twins and Wenxi added friends, then turned to Liu Wangxue Made a friend request. Liu Wangxue took her mobile phone and asked them to scan the QR code. Wenxi took this opportunity to ask them again: "Do you really don't want the clothes?"
The twins still shook their heads: "Sister, We like your design and will support it with practical actions."
What a cute couple, Wenxi thought to herself, giving Liu Wangxue a look, then she would not "force others to do anything".
Liu Wangxue understood that Wenxi wanted to give herself a favor and wanted to get acquainted with Xu Qingsong's relatives as soon as possible.
Liu Wangxue himself is very open-minded about this kind of thing.
She also recently learned that the "family" behind Xu Qingsong is really big. However, judging from the people she has come into contact with so far, the relationship is not complicated, and what she heard from him before is that the family members get along very harmoniously and friendly.
In fact, she has already considered it. Based on her previous knowledge, in a large family, there will be more or less conflicts or disharmony between members. If it was the same here, she felt that it would be good if she could be polite everywhere and not be polite. This would not change in any way because of Xu Qingsong.
The first time Liu Wangxue saw the twins today, she liked them very much. The two particularly lively children were just like the birds on their skirts, chattering happily and lively.
Liu Wangxue felt that since they had met each other, they must prepare gifts for the two children during the Spring Festival. After they scanned the QR code and became friends, she sent a message to Wenxi: [Help me choose a few sets of Hanfu from your place, and I’ll give them to them during the Spring Festival]
Wenxi’s mobile phone Before she had time to put it in her bag, she heard the "ding dong" message prompt. She opened it and smiled. She looked at Liu Wangxue with a bit of ridicule, winked at her again, and replied. "OK".
Everyone chatted while walking, and it seemed that it didn’t take long before the destination was reached.
After turning right at the end of the alley, the first thing you see is a white courtyard wall more than two meters high. In the center of the wall is a double courtyard door, which looks like it should be made of solid wood. A brick gate tower is built above the door frame, and the eaves on both sides protrude outward, covered with black tiles, forming a sharp color contrast with the white walls. There is also a brick-carved flower-leaf window embedded on both sides of the courtyard door.
Xie Zhuoyi’s small courtyard with two entrances was rebuilt by his grandfather on the original site. The old man has not liked the spatial pattern of traditional Huizhou architecture since he was a child. He feels that the lighting is not good, and the house is dark at noon on a sunny day, let alone in the evening or on rainy days. It is impossible to see without lighting the lamp. But at that time, the old man had no say. He wanted to change it, but he couldn't implement it.
Later, the government returned the houses. At that time, the protection of traditional buildings was not as vigorously advocated as now. The old man had become the head of the family. No one dared to disobey him, so he hired a master to redesign it. After getting approval from the village, It was all pushed to reconstruction.
The appearance and decoration of the courtyard still retain the artistic style of Huizhou architecture, but the layout is a fusion of the northern courtyard style. The front courtyard and inner courtyard have been landscaped, and the side rooms on both sides have been removed and replaced with hand-held verandahs, which connect from the doorway along the courtyard wall to the front hall at the first entrance and the two-story small building used for living at the second entrance.
In order to live comfortably, the old man kept the rooms above and below the small building relatively large. Even the bathroom was very spacious, and a relatively modern bathroom had been installed at that time. Many years later, Xie Zhuoyi My father renovated it again.
Everyone was standing at the entrance of the Xie family's courtyard. Liu Wangxue raised his head and looked at the gatehouse: "Picture of a Hundred Sons?" He also remembered what Xu Qingsong said, the young master's uncle's family has never been crowded, and almost all the people in it have been replaced. Each generation is a single biography, so this "Hundred Sons Picture" should be the vision of the older generation of the Xie family.
The courtyard door was not bolted, and the twins opened it with their hands, one on the left and the other on the right. They ran in first, shouting to their grandparents and mother: "Brother and sister-in-law are here - ”
Liu Wangxue and the others followed Xu Qingsong in. What caught their eyes was the landscaping of the rockery lotus pond in the front courtyard, but now they could only see a few dead lotus plants. A wooden arch bridge was built over the lotus pond. When you cross the bridge, you can see several koi carp swimming slowly.
After the bridge, there is a road paved with bluestones, which extends to the front hall. The layout of the front hall is divided into three parts. In the middle is the hall for entertaining guests, on the left is the kitchen, and on the right is a tea room. The furniture in the hall is also a combination of modern and traditional. The spacious and comfortable sofa can seat seven or eight people without feeling crowded. There is a dining table in the area near the kitchen, where the family usually eats.
As soon as everyone walked across the small bridge, Xi Muya and the Xie family came out to welcome them. After a while of introduction and greetings, they led everyone to sit in the hall. The twins had already moved a few chairs from the dining table to the sofa. Next, everyone was served hot tea, fruits and snacks.
After sitting and chatting for a while, grandma looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It was almost twelve o'clock, and said, "Why don't you eat? The children should be hungry too."
The twins were eating lotus cakes. They nodded fiercely when they heard this: "Hungry! They are already hungry!"
"Okay, let's eat!" Grandpa stood up from the sofa, his face full of joy, "Today, old man, I also showed my hands and gave you a taste."
Everyone also stood up and said they were going to wash their hands to help. The twins chased after their grandpa, spewing rainbow farts one after another as if they were free, praising the old man so much that he was shaking his head as he walked.
“These two kids,” grandma watched with great joy from behind, “started to praise them even before they even got it into their mouths. If after tasting it, they think it’s not as delicious as their dad’s cooking, I’ll give them a try. How will it end?"
Xi Muyaxu supported the old lady: "Mom, look at what you said. Yes, Zhuo Yi’s skill in beating children was also taught by his father.”
Grandma is very fair and impartial, and is not biased at all. She patted Xi Muya’s hand and said quietly: “If he taught me, then. He is better than his master, and the old man cannot compare with him.”
This was not easy for Xi Muya to answer, so he had to smile.
Everyone helped together, and within two minutes all the dishes were served, filling the table, but Grandpa did not do it all alone.
The old couple were very happy when they heard that the younger generation was coming back. They went out to buy groceries early this morning. However, grandpa only cooked five dishes in total, two of Xie Ji's old signature dishes, two of the twins' favorites, and one of Liu Wangxue's favorites that Xi Muya asked Xu Qingsong in advance.
Grandpa is getting older. If he had been allowed to sit out the whole morning when he was young, he would have been able to do it, but now he can't. He must be very tired from cooking meals for more than ten people. Grandma doesn't know how to cook, so she can't help him. In her words, she's already married to a cook, so there's no reason for her to learn to cook. The same goes for Xi Muya, who has never touched Yang Chun Shui since she was a child. Therefore, apart from these five items, the others were all sent by phone to Xie Ji.
Usually, the couple is here. If they want to eat at home, grandpa will cook. If they don’t want to eat at home, the couple will take a walk and go to Xieji to eat. After dinner, grandpa went to drink tea and play chess with some old friends. Grandma went to chat with the old sisters to develop their interests and hobbies. The life was enjoyable.
At the dinner table, Xi Muya was worried that Liu Wangxue would be cautious, so she always took care of her, looking at the dishes that she could not reach, and using a male spoon and chopsticks to help her pick them up.
When Xu Qingsong saw it, he deliberately said: "Auntie, you are trying to steal my rights."
Everyone laughed when he said this. Liu Wangxue was stunned for a moment, and then the hand under the table patted Xu Qingsong's thigh, signaling him to be careful when speaking in front of his elders.
After laughing, the feeling of not being familiar with each other seemed to disappear all of a sudden.
Xi Muya not only took care of Liu Wangxue, but also took care of her and Xu Qingsong's friends. She would say something from time to time and never let there be even a second of silence at the dinner table. But with the twins here, she didn't have to worry.
The youngest one, named Li Yu, she had already heard from Xie Zhuoyi, was majoring in landscape architecture at Wannan University of Architecture and Architecture and would graduate next year. Xie Zhuoyi wanted Beibei to communicate more with him and learn more about the major, because Beibei also planned to apply for this major.
The first time Xi Muya saw Li Yu, she thought that Xie Zhuoyi really wasn't exaggerating. If she hadn't already known, she would have really thought that Li Yu was as big as her twins. She felt that this child looked like the kind of well-behaved kid who would make people like him at first sight, unlike the twins who made a fuss all the time.
Towards the end of a lively lunch, Xie Zhuoyi’s video call came over. He wanted to care about how the meal went. The main reason was that his master, Xu Qingsong’s grandfather, was there. Urging him.
After hanging up the phone, everyone was full and helped clear the table. Xie Zhuoyi installed a dishwasher in the kitchen, packed up the kitchen waste, put all the dishes and chopsticks in it, and left it alone.
Everyone originally wanted to visit the yard of the junior uncle's house. Li Yu wanted to do it even more, so he secretly asked Xu Qingsong if it was possible. Then these words were heard by the twins with good ears. When they were eating, they sat next to Li Yu. They thought they were already familiar with the cute brother Xiaoyu, so they pulled him with great enthusiasm and led him. Let's go visit together.
After looking around the front and inner courtyards upstairs and downstairs, Xi Muya had already made tea in the tea room, prepared some snacks, dried fruits, snacks and fruits, and asked them to come over and rest.
At this time, the old couple had changed their clothes and seemed to be preparing to go out. Xi Muya went up to them and asked.
Grandpa said: "I'm going out to play chess with some old guys."
Grandma patted Xi Muya's hand and whispered: "We two old guys are here, we're afraid of them The young man can't let go, so I'll go out to find some old sisters to practice flower arranging. You can take care of me here."
"Okay, don't worry," Xi Muya said, sending the old couple off. door.
The twins returned to the front hall with everyone. When they saw Xi Muya coming from the courtyard gate, they asked, "Grandpa and grandma are out?"
"Well, one is going to play chess and the other is arranging flowers." Xi Muya Ya smiled and said to everyone, "Let's go to the teahouse and sit for a while. It's still some time before the lantern festival in the evening. Sit and drink tea and chat."
Everyone went in and sat down, Xu Qingsong was all I felt a little nostalgic and said to Liu Wangxue: "It's been a long time since I had tea in your small courtyard. When will the next time be?"
Tao Huayu and the others immediately asked: " That’s right, it’s been at least three months, right? When will we have a tea party next time?”
Liu Wangxue said, “It can be done at any time after you send the furniture over and put it in place. The sun room is now available. We have moved to the second floor. It will be very comfortable to hide in there when the weather is nice.”
Li Yu was very happy; "That's great!" The winter vacation was coming soon, and he was going to Du Yunkai's studio part-time, so that he could go there at any time.
Xi Muya asked Liu Wangxue: "Do you also like to drink tea?"
The twins were also curious about Liu Wangxue's small courtyard. They had heard Xu Qingsong say it Once again, I took the opportunity to ask all the questions I was curious about.
Everyone just chatted like this until the sun set in the west. The twins looked at the sky outside and urged: "It's almost time. The lantern festival is about to start. Let's go!"
