Chapter 19: The Mystery of Ruiyu

In a blink of an eye, the fiery red maple leaves are falling, some are half buried in the soft soil, and some fall on the asphalt road to pave a natural leaf blanket, at this time it is no cooler than the summer, the condensation in the air makes Yan Jiujiu stagnate, she can't help but shiver, a touch of gloom wells up in her heart, and sighs slightly: "Probably this is scattered into mud, grinding into dust......

She smiled faintly, quite melancholy.

Chu Qing stood behind her, holding the coat with both hands, and saw the back of the shoulders in front of her, a little helpless: "Miss! The weather looks like this, put the coat on!

Chu Qing pouted, and the freckles on both sides of the handsome nose were very vivid and interesting.

"I'm not a wealthy ......" Yan Jiujiu seemed to be still immersed in a daze, and immediately realized that he had lost his words, turned around and smiled: "Father wants to say that you are indeed true, but what about me? I'm afraid I will be told by you!"

After that, she gently scratched Chu Qing's nose and smiled smartly.

Chu Qing rubbed his nose as if he had been exposed, and his fair skin showed a shallow mark of red powder, which disappeared in an instant.

"You girl, say okay...... It's really good, and everything is thorough, although I'm not used to having people around me, but the blonde maids were either dull and boring, or most of them were sneaky and slippery when I sent them to do loose things...... Alas!" she then smiled knowingly, "You! It's not good to say that it's very bad, twitter, I'm afraid that the sparrows in this manor are all raised by you!"

She pinched Chu Qing's cheek, but in exchange for Chu Qing's broken thoughts: "Miss, you actually dislike me for being verbose like a little old lady with bound feet...... But who am I looking so old for? You say you! You don't pay attention to what the old man tells you to tell me...... I can't get up to the top of my spirits!Hmph!"

After saying that, he looked at the sky angrily, but he didn't forget to put the coat in his hand lightly on Yan Jiujiu's heart.

Yan Jiujiu shook his head helplessly, and said with a secret smile in his heart: "This girl! I go with her all day long, but this shows that she is pure and kind-hearted, straightforward, and from the time when she usually takes care of things, it can be seen that she is delicate, agile and resolute, lively and lovely, but she does not overstep the distinction between master and servant, but she is born with a delicate heart." ”

Yan Jiujiu is a kind and benevolent woman, but she took over her mother's smart and clever son, and some of the truths are obvious to her when she thinks about them. Therefore, in her heart, she has long regarded Chu Qing as her sister.

Yan Jiujiu smiled, patted Chu Qing, and said, "You, stupid Nizi! In my heart, I have long regarded you as a sister of my compatriots......

Chu Qing knew that her young lady was a pure person, and she was also very good to herself, but she didn't expect her to let go of her identity, and a humble person like her called herself a sister, she was annoyed by her narrow-mindedness, and the young lady was so heartfelt and humble with her...... She didn't dare to think about it anymore, but she was afraid that she would be ashamed if she thought about one more word.

Her eyes moistened for some time, and her eyes flashed with flowing starlight: "Miss......"

She had mixed feelings, but she didn't know how to speak.

"Alright! Alright! If I had known that you liked to cry so much, I wouldn't have brought you back!" Yan Jiujiu nodded Chu Qing's tears with a handkerchief, and a warm smile welled up from his heart.

Chu Qing looked at the kind young lady in front of her, and secretly swore in her heart: "I must protect the young lady well!"

"Miss......" she was about to take an oath.

"Okay, don't send me any poisonous oaths to go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, I don't treat you as a sister just to let you die for me......" Yan Jiujiu was very helpless.

Chu Qing knew that there was still a little bit of arrogance in her heart.

Yan Jiujiu knew in her heart, she knew that this kind of thinking of superiority and inferiority since ancient times had been deeply rooted in people's hearts, and she couldn't be anxious for a while, and a gentle rose bloomed on her lips: "When I was in the East, my mother always liked to call me Jiu'er, you are commensurate with my sister, you can call me Jiu'er."

Chu Qing seemed a little narrow-minded, although the young lady rescued her from the black market and treated her so kindly, she should be respected in everything, but this maiden name had to be called by her father and mother's relatives, how could she talk lightly about how people could usurp the identity of the young lady.

She thought about it, annoyed by her hesitation, and very entangled.

"Alas!" Yan Jiujiu stroked the broken hair around Chu Qing's ears, and was distressed in his heart, "You can call me a nine girl......"

"Yes!" Chu Qing only felt that her whole body was relaxed, and she called softly: "Nine girls." ”

Yan Jiujiu's heart is like a mirror, Chu Qing is very sincere to herself, but she is helpless about this feudalism, and her voice can't help but feel a little distressed: "I guess it's dinner time, you go to the kitchen to see today's dishes......

Chu Qing retreated, but she knew in her heart that the young lady was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so she sent her to sort it out by herself, and she couldn't help but sigh again.

Then Yan Jiujiu left the garden and went to the study on the second floor.

She slowed her pace, her steps light, as silent as a cat, lest she might provoke the quiet that her uncle needed when he was busy with his business.

In front of the door of the study, she looked at the intricate patterns carved on the fine mahogany door, and the delicate luster seemed to be filled with her sweet smile.

She was about to knock on the door, but Mingyan's smile stopped abruptly, as if a familiar pathos came faintly through the crack in the door.

"Zhenzhen...... I've finally found my Peg...... You're over there, okay?"

Yan Jiujiu heard an inaudible sigh.

"Divide Ruiyu, from Jue from the knife...... How do you say I should say ...... to Peg?"

Yan Jiujiu seemed to hear a familiar word, and immediately couldn't help but look through the crack in the door......

The crack between the doors was very narrow, and she swayed to see her uncle sitting in front of the magnificent desk, unable to see clearly, and his words were sad. Suddenly, her gaze was firmly grasped by half of the jade pendant in Jin Jaexian's hand, and her heart was like a slight electric current, she frowned, Yan Jiujiu didn't like this feeling very much, she stood up, and thought, could it be that my uncle took my jade pendant? When she was about to take a closer look, she saw that the person in the room had stood up and walked towards the door.

She immediately quietly hid behind the marble pillar in the corner, with the sound of footsteps, Yan Jiujiu secretly counted the stairs, the footsteps faded away, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't understand how she was so nervous, she turned around and ran to her room......

She took out half of the jade pendant her mother gave her from under the pillow, but her uncle didn't take it?

She lowered her head sharply and looked at the jade pendant, suddenly, she vaguely remembered the half of the jade pendant she had just glimpsed, and the intricate and symmetrical patterns in her mind gradually became clear......

Yan Jiujiu felt uneasy, why was she uneasy? she asked herself.

Who is Zhenzhen, and who is Peg? How can my uncle have the other half of the jade pendant?

A thousand doubts welled up in her heart, her chest rose and fell violently, all the confusion squeezed her dizzy, she felt that she was close to that answer, but suddenly she felt a buzzing in her head, and her eyes went black......
