Aunt Ying began to teach He Linwan the qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, needle and female red, probably because she had heard that He Linwan was not interested in these things before, and Aunt Ying started teaching from the basics in the same way.

After a period of observation, He Linwan had to admit that Aunt Ying was a very good teacher, her knowledge was absolutely outstanding in the public of women, and it was rare that she had an excellent temper and good patience. He Linwan sometimes deliberately pretended that she couldn't learn anything on some issues, and she would not be angry, and still calmly inspired and guided step by step.

Aunt Ying is a gentleman specially invited by Mrs. Cheng Enbo, she has no master-servant relationship with the He family but an employment relationship, her identity is special in the West Courtyard, but she gets along well with the mother-in-law and maid in the courtyard, but she never interferes in the affairs of the inner courtyard, every day except for Professor He Linwan, she takes the dumb sister to read and practice calligraphy in her room, and occasionally helps the maids and women in the house to write letters, and her temperament is peaceful and humble. After a long time, even Wei's likes to call Aunt Ying over to chat and drink tea from time to time.

In the afternoon of this day, Wei took a pair of children to enjoy the shade in the shade of the tree in the courtyard, and also called Aunt Ying together.

Aunt Ying told Wei's mother and daughter some of what she saw and heard in her early years, Aunt Ying has never been married, she has traveled many places, and it can be seen from her words and deeds that she is a woman with rich experience, so many times even He Linwan likes to listen to her.

Xiaohuzi sat on the stone bench and concentrated on peeling the lotus pod, he liked to be self-reliant, and was unwilling to let the maids do it for him, and worked hard for a long time, and the small wooden bowl at hand was already piled with a small half bowl of white flowers. Xiaohuzi eats lotus seeds differently from ordinary children, he likes to swallow the lotus seed core together, but fortunately, the lotus seed core is to go to the fire, and Wei's will let him go, but he is only allowed to eat a small bowl every day.

A lotus seed in Xiaohuzi's hand didn't hold it steadily and rolled under the stone table. He wanted to jump off the stool to pick it up, but he didn't want to be dumb at this time when he happened to bring a pot of tea to pour tea, but he didn't expect Xiaohuzi to make a sudden move, and was bumped by Xiaohuzi, and saw that the tea was about to be poured on Xiaohuzi's shoulder.

He Lin was startled when she saw it late, but it was too late for her and Xiaohuzi to be rescued across a stone table, and the dumb girl was shocked and immediately hugged the teapot with both hands and quickly turned her back to block the hot tea that spilled with her whole body.

The dumb girl's body trembled. but no sound was made. Only then did everyone remember that she couldn't speak, so naturally she couldn't exhale pain.

Wei exclaimed, "Where is the burn?"

He Linwan got up and walked over, and when he saw that Xiaohuzi was not hot, he said that he pushed it to Chunxiao to lead. She stepped forward to check on the mute girl's injuries.

The dumb girl held back her tears and waved her hand at He Linwan, who saw that her palms were red and the clothes on her chest were wet, but fortunately because of the heat. Neither Weisnor nor she was used to drinking hot tea, so the tea was not as hot as when it was first boiled.

Aunt Ying also came over to take a look. He looked up and said to Wei and He Linwan: "It's okay, there are no blisters, I'll take her back to rub the medicine, and it will be fine in two days." ”

Wei didn't care: "I have a good burn cream there." Thrush took her to the house."

The thrush didn't wait for Wei to finish speaking, and hurriedly came over and pulled the dumb girl to the main room, and the dumb girl didn't struggle when she saw Aunt Ying nodded.

Wei Shi looked at the back of the dumb girl and then at the little tiger, and sighed.

Xiaohuzi knew that he was in trouble. Standing there a little overwhelmed, Wei beckoned him to come over and touch his head to comfort him. put the bowl of lotus seeds in Xiaohuzi's hand.

Wei said to Aunt Ying, "How long has the dumb girl been with Mr."

Aunt Ying said: "It's been six years. When I first met her, she was only as big as a little tiger, and she was led by Ya Po, and I originally wanted to buy an older maid, but I didn't expect to buy her back. ”

Wei sighed: "Sir is kind-hearted. ”

Aunt Ying shook her head: "Although she is young, she is well-behaved and sensible, when she is a little older, she rushes to help me work, and when she is older, she will do all the big and small work in the family, and even the cooking is better than the average cook, she can withstand several maids, no one believes that she is only eleven years old this year." ”

The dumb girl's appearance can only be regarded as delicate, and she is not tall, she quietly follows behind Aunt Ying on weekdays, and when Aunt Ying came to teach He Lin, she obediently stood outside and guarded, and when Aunt Ying went back to her house to read, she followed her to do some needlework. She is very diligent and always helps the sisters in the yard to work, so the maids in Wei's room like her very much, and they will leave her a copy of what to eat, and Wei will pity her for being a mute, and will also reward her with some food and clothes, shoes and socks.

However, when I heard Aunt Ying say that the dumb girl was so sensible and capable, Wei was still a little surprised, and felt a little more pity for her.

He Linwan asked, "The dumb girl won't talk until she talks to her husband?"

Aunt Ying bowed: "Yes, I took her to see a doctor, and the doctor said that she was born and can't be cured." ”

At this time, someone was probing his brain outside the courtyard, and He Linwan asked Chunxiao to go over and take a look.

After a while, Chunxiao came back with a letter and said to He Linwan: "The girl of the Zhao family just asked someone to bring it to the girl." ”

He Linwan took the letter and looked at it, but it was not Zhao Qingqing's handwriting, and she immediately understood. Seeing that Wei and Ying Gu both looked at her, He Lin handed the letter to Chunxiao without changing his face: "You put it away first, I'll see it later." ”

Aunt Ying asked, "This Miss Zhao is the young owner of the cyclamen that Mrs. mentioned before?" The Wei family chatted with Aunt Ying on weekdays and would also talk about some things about He Linwan, so Aunt Ying knew that there was a Yuan girl and a Zhao girl who were good friends with He Linwan.

Wei nodded: "Yes, although Miss Zhao is not very old, she is also capable, I heard that she is in charge of the Zhao family's account books." ”

At this time, the thrush came out with the mute girl, and the burned places of her were carefully covered with wound medicine.

Wei called her over to look at her injuries and asked her if she was in pain, and the dumb girl shook her head.

Wei said to Aunt Ying: "I'll send another maid to serve you for a few days, so that the dumb girl can recuperate." ”

When the dumb girl heard this, she immediately shook her head and gestured with her hand for a long time, but she gestured quickly and quickly, and Wei didn't understand.

Aunt Ying said on the side: "She said that her injuries are not serious, there are only some small jobs in the house, and she is capable." Let her go, this girl is afraid that others will rob her of her errand. ”

Seeing that the dumb sister insisted, Wei had no choice but to give up.

At this time, Xiaohuzi climbed down the stool with his bowl of peeled lotus seeds, he walked to the dumb girl and handed her the bowl in his hand, the dumb girl was stunned, did not answer, Xiaohuzi impatiently stuffed the bowl into her hand, but seeing that she had ointment on her hand and seemed to be inconvenient to take things, he frowned and didn't know what to do, standing there looking like he wanted to lose his temper and didn't know who to address.

He Linwan walked over and touched Xiaohuzi's head: "Is Xiaohuzi going to give this bowl of lotus seeds to the dumb girl?"

Xiaohuzi glanced at her and then at the dumb girl, nodded, looking like you are so stupid, you can't see it.

He Linwan couldn't help but laugh, and asked him again: "Xiaohuzi, is this because he accidentally burned the dumb sister just now, so he apologized?"

Xiaohuzi gave He Linwan a back of his head, but after a while he nodded hesitantly, but he refused to turn his head back, and the little hand holding the bowl stubbornly refused to take it back.

He Linwan took his small bowl and said to the dumb girl, "In that case, you can take it, okay?"

The dumb girl looked at the bowl of finely peeled lotus seeds in He Linwan's hand, and looked at Aunt Ying a little confused.

Aunt Ying smiled, "What do you see me doing? I can't help you." ”

Wei also watched with a smile and did not interject.

Xiaohuzi secretly turned his head to look at the dumb girl, frowning, both puzzled and a little impatient, but he was patient and did not run away.

The dumb girl finally nodded embarrassedly and wanted to pick up the bowl in He Linwan's hand, He Linwan avoided it and handed the bowl to the thrush: "You have ointment on your hand, let the thrush help you take it back." ”

The thrush took it with a smile, and quipped: "The slaves and maids have served the little master for so long, and they have never begged for food from the little master, but you little girl has this blessing." ”

The shocked dumb girl immediately bowed to Xiaohuzi.

Mama Li scolded with a smile: "You are a dead girl! Look at your round face like a big meat bun, and you are still talking about eating and eating all day long! You even dare to worry about the young master's things!"

Thrush touched his face, was deeply shocked, and muttered in a low voice: "Where does it look like a meat bun!

It made everyone laugh.

Aunt Ying smiled: "It's not too early, my wife still has some things to deal with today, right? ”

Wei remembered that he did have some housework to arrange: "You don't say that I almost forgot." ”

He Linwan also wanted to go back to read the letter, so everyone dispersed, Wei went to Mingshan Hall, Aunt Ying took the dumb girl back to her house, and He Linwan went to her small study.

He Linwan opened the letter and looked at it, the handwriting on the letter was a featureless left-handed handwriting, He Linwan knew that the letter was really sent by Li Yu, and the content of the letter made the expression on He Linwan's face immediately become serious.

Li Yu said in the letter that there was already news of He Guanglie and Gongsun Xian, and that the two should still be alive, but they were seriously injured and recuperating in a hidden place.

Originally, they wanted to contact the outside world as soon as possible, but they soon found that there were several forces secretly searching for their traces, among these groups of people were the people of Daji who wanted to avenge the revenge of one arrow, and the others were Shandong and Jingcheng accents, and among these teams, it was not only those people in Daji who had murderous intentions towards them.

Because the injuries were serious and the situation outside was unknown, they hid in a place to recuperate. A few days ago, Gongsun Xian secretly sent a letter to his family, and Li Yu immediately got the news.
