"Wait a minute. Yin Nuan suddenly reached out and grabbed her sleeve, her brows furrowed, "What's going on?"

"It doesn't matter. The water slave said, "The maid accidentally fell into the lake." ”

Yin Nuan didn't believe it, "A-Yuan is jumping around all day long, if it is still credible to say that she fell into the lake, how could you be careless, water slave?"

"Really. The water slave smiled, carefully pulled his sleeve out of his hand, and said, "Didn't it rain heavily last night? ”

"Is that really the case?" Yin Nuan thought about it, Yin Zhao's yard was still some distance from Yin Luo's yard, and it shouldn't be Yin Luo's reason. A little relieved, he said, "In that case, you should go in quickly and change your clothes, and be careful of the wind and cold, this weather is not as good as in the middle of summer." ”

"Okay, the servant will retire first!"

Yin Nuan sat on the rope bed in the main hall, looked at the scroll in his hand at will, and raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw the water slave walking around the screen, wearing a light gray placket jacket, a coarse cloth pleated skirt of the same color, a dark green bib around the waist, and the hair was simply treated, and she did not continue to drip water, and she was curled into a simple hanging bun.

It's a very simple dress, basically every maid in his yard is dressed like this, but Yin Nuan looked at the water slave who walked towards him, but he always had a feeling: she shouldn't be dressed like this, those clothes are not worthy of her.

"Water slave, come here. ”

The water slave walked over as she said, Yin Nuan took her hand, tried it and put it on her forehead, and asked:

"Do you feel cold?"

The water slave shook his head and let his movements supple, "Xie Wulangjun cares, the maid is fine." ”

"That's good. Yin Nuan asked her to sit down on the bed on the side, picked up the volume in her hand and handed it to her, "Shui Nu, look at it, is there a mistake in the annotation on this?"

The water slave looked through it and pointed to Yin Nuan and said, "Here, the source is wrong." ”

"Sure enough!" Yin Nuan said with a smile, "Since the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", I will pay attention to the fact that I have bought the wrong note when I read the book in the future, and I felt that this source was different from the version I had read before. ”

As he was talking, a servant girl came in and reported:

"Wulang-kun, Liuniang is here!"

"Sixth Niang?" Yin Nuan was a little surprised, not knowing what the Yuan clan, who had never set foot in the Shuyan Pavilion, would come here for, "Please let her in!"

"Yes. ”

The water slave put the book down, and rubbed the few strands of hair hanging from his temples with his index and middle fingers, speculating on the purpose of Yuan's sudden arrival.

After a while, Yuan led a servant girl in.

"Liuniang. Yin Nuan got up and said, "Please take a seat!"

"You're welcome, the concubine is sitting here. Yuan sat down on the Hu bed, his eyes swept over all the maidservants in the main hall one by one, and then turned back to Yin Nuan with some disappointment:

"Yin Nuan, are all the maidservants in your Tree Inkstone Pavilion here?"

"It's not. Yin Nuan said, "There are still some in the courtyard outside, and Liu Niang should have seen it just now." ”

Yuan Shi was even more disappointed when she heard this, and she had looked at the few people outside when she came in just now, but she didn't find the person she expected.

"Liuniang. Yin Nuan said slowly, "I don't know what happened to the maids in my courtyard, or did they inadvertently offend Liuniang?"

"Naturally not. Yuan shook his head and said, "Before, Lord Lang also instructed the concubine to let the concubine care about your brothers and sisters, and don't let your life be wronged." ”

The water slave stepped forward to serve hot tea, and his heart was quite uneasy, if he was still thinking that the arrival of the Yuan clan could have something to do with what happened before? Then now it is almost certain, just looking at the appearance of her as soon as she came in, she should not have seen clearly whether the person was herself or not at that time.

Sure enough, Yuan took the hot tea, took a sip and got up and said:

"The concubine saw that there was nothing wrong with you here, so she went back first. ”

Yin Nuan got up and sent it to the door: "Liuniang go slowly!"

Yuan Shi walked out of the courtyard, feeling a little annoyed: Did he hear it wrong, that person was not from Yin Nuan's courtyard?

"Wait a minute. Yuan hurriedly shouted to stop, pointed to the woman and asked the maidservant beside him, "Who is that person?"

The maid looked up and saw that it was a woman wearing a blue cross-collared skirt, and after thinking about it, she said to Yuan:

"The maid remembers, this seems to be the willow of the tree inkstone pavilion. ”

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. The maidservant said, "Although this Sister Rong Liu does not serve in the house of Gorou Jun, many people know her because she is extremely good at weaving and embroidering." ”

"That's it!" Yuan Shi looked up at Rong Liu in the distance again, and then turned around and said, "Let's go!"

When a few strong women heard this, they carried the soft sedan chair to another path.

The solemn hall was so empty that it made people's hearts palpitate, and the water slave stood at the door, and even the person sitting on the dragon chair with no end in sight.

"Father?" the water slave called out in surprise, this place was a place she had been familiar with for more than ten years, she raised her feet and wanted to walk towards the main hall, wanting to get close to the person on the dragon chair.

But she found herself blocked by something unknown, and no matter how much she lifted her foot or stretched out her hand, she could not get close to her father.

"Father, Father!" the water slave began to be frightened in his heart, and kept raising his hand to beat the invisible barrier in front of him. Although there was a voice in her heart telling her that she should not appear here, she should be working as a slave in the Yin family at this time.

"Junbi~" The person on the dragon chair suddenly raised his head and looked straight in the direction of the water slave, his voice seemed to have been soaked in old wine, and he was so hoarse that it made people feel frightened.

As the other party raised his head, the water slave clearly saw his appearance. "Father?" The water slave looked at it in disbelief, when did her father, who had always been tall and mighty, become such an old dragon clock? She rushed forward again and again, but it was not said that it had any effect, she obviously hit it so hard, but she couldn't even feel half of the pain on her body, and this feeling of powerlessness almost drove her crazy.

"Junbi, my child!" the people inside seemed to be distressed when they saw her like this, but the hand raised was as powerless as her.

"Your Majesty, it's time to go!" Suddenly, an elegant and familiar voice came into the ears of the two, and the water slave looked up in surprise, "Queen Mother?"

Queen Wang didn't seem to see her, but just looked at the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of her softly, and repeated the previous words:

"Your Majesty, it's time to go!"

"No!no!" the water slave suddenly panicked, "Queen Mother, what are you talking about, where are you going to take your father?"

"Junbi ----" The Ninety-Five Venerable on the dragon chair suddenly shed tears, and then his body began to disappear slowly, but for a moment, the father and mother in front of her just now were as if they had never appeared.

"Father, Mother!" The water slave only felt that her body was suddenly emptied, and she no longer had the strength to crash into the main hall just now, her whole body was trembling, and she suddenly woke up from her dream.
