"Okay, why did the second lady break her head?"

Feng Qi lowered his head and said: "The third lady was startled by a wild cat on the road, and the second lady knocked her head on a stone in order to save the third lady. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info left a lot of blood at that time, and he is still bedridden. ”

Qin Huaiyu frowned and said, "What is the eldest master busy with?"

"The emperor wants to sacrifice to the sky, and the eldest lord moved to the Ministry of Rites more than a month ago. ”

"What about the second master, not at home?"

"Something happened to Zhuangzi, and the second master went out half a month ago. ”

Qin Huaiyu was silent, she was over forty years old, but her skin was fair, her figure was slim, and she looked like she was in her thirties.

Feng Qi quietly raised his head to look at the legendary aunt of the Qin family, and was secretly impressed by Qin E's instructions to him before leaving. According to his father-in-law's wishes, let him directly tell his aunt and grandmother about the difficulties in the house and beg her to go back. But the eldest lady asked him not to ask or say, and only vaguely mentioned it, and one sentence by sentence, it was exactly the same as what his aunt and grandmother asked just now.

Feng Qi touched the letter he was carrying in his cuffs and made up his mind.

"Auntie, this time, the eldest lady asked me to bring you a letter. ”

"Miss?" Qin Yuhuan was slightly stunned, "The daughter of the Shen family of Dafang, called Yuan Niang?"

"Yes, after the death of the eldest lady last year, the eldest lady and the second lady were taken back to the house and now live in Lanwan Garden. ”

"Lan Wanyuan?" Qin Huaiyu said silently a few times, with a hint of mockery on his face. "Give me the letter. ”

Feng Qi hurriedly presented the letter, and saw Qin Huaiyu open the letter, slightly distracted by the dignified and beautiful hairpin flowers.

The letter was only one page, but Qin Huaiyu read it for a while. Feng Qi was secretly anxious in his heart, and suddenly heard Qin Huaiyu sigh and say, "I have been hiding and being free all these years, and now it is time to go back and take a look." ”

Feng Qi was pleasantly surprised in his heart, he was ready, even if he didn't leave to provoke his aunt and grandmother, he also wanted to invite people back, but he didn't expect to complete the task so easily.

"When is my aunt going to leave?"

Qin Yuhuan waved his hand and stood up from the chair, "Let's go back today." You go and arrange the thrush, half of the people will pack up and leave immediately, and the remaining half will take care of the aftermath and leave tomorrow. There are not many things to accompany you, this place is not far from the Qinfu road, just enough. ”

The thrush answered and went out, and in a moment everyone was busy.

An hour later, Qin Huaiyu was dressed in a hair coat and stood in front of the carriage supported by a thrush.

Qin Huaiyu looked at the neat convoy and smiled at Feng Qi: "Steward Feng is very well prepared." ”

"It's always good to be more prepared, doesn't my aunt want to go home for the New Year? ”

Qin Huaiyu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes." Holding the thrush's hand, he boarded the carriage. The rest of the people also followed and got into the carriage, Feng Qi let out a sigh of relief, turned over on the horse, and shouted: "Let's go!"

In winter, it gets dark early, and it is already twilight.

The snow was a little smaller than the day, and Qin E stood in front of the door and looked at the courtyard gate. During the day, Qin Yan and Nianxi were naughty, and they had to go to the yard to play in the snow, but the second grandmother refused to let them. She helped intercede and asked the two to go to a sheltered place to build a snowman, and the second grandmother reluctantly nodded in agreement.

Dongmei took Cui'er and Gray Wen to build a snowman with Qin Yan and Nianxi, the two groups of people you dismantled mine, I pushed yours down, fought and tossed for a long time, and piled two crooked snowmen under the wall.

The two snowmen have crooked noses and crooked eyes, and the younger one has a green veil on his body and a lantern, which looks as funny and funny as he wants. Qin E knew at a glance that it was a good thing that Qin Yan and Nian Xi had done, and couldn't help but purse her lips and smile.

"Miss. ”

Qin E turned around and saw Qiu Ju coming over with a hand stove. "On such a cold day, even if you are wearing Mao Dayu, you shouldn't be standing at the door like this, what should I do if I get frostbite?"

Qin E took the stove and held it in her arms, and the hot temperature made her sigh comfortably, "It's not so cold on a snowy day, but it's going to freeze when the snow stops, and I won't do it when you let me stand here." ”

Qiu Ju said with a smile: "The eldest lady is very happy today. ”

Qin E tilted her head to look at her: "Is there one?"

"Yes, I pursed my lips and smiled all afternoon, and the second lady also said that you are in a good mood. Qiu Ju nodded with a smile.

Qin E looked at Qiu Ju and saw that her white goose egg face was slightly red by the cold wind, and two strands of black and thick hair on her forehead jumped out mischievously, scurrying in front of her cheeks with the wind, and she reached out and pulled it back and hooked it behind her ear.

Qiu Ju was wearing a gray squirrel skin padded shoulder, which was the old clothes that the Shen family had given her in the past, and the gray hair around her was almost worn out, revealing a shabby. But Qin E knew that this was already Qiu Ju's best dress.

This dress is also the best one among the maids in Lanwanyuan, although Cui'er has Lao Tzu's mother's pain, but her family background is mediocre, but it is just a few taels of cotton in the cotton jacket.

This winter, everyone can not go out without going out, and even Cui'er, who loves to hang out the door, has reduced her movement. Because as soon as they go out, they will be laughed at, especially the people in Fangfeiyuan and Fuliuyuan, they must catch them and laugh endlessly.

Qin E's originally happy mood suddenly ached.

Her maids are all very good, but they can only suffer with her.

Qin E lowered her head and gently stroked the fur on her body, this was left to her by her mother, she was wearing a little big, the second mother and Qiu Ju tried to change it several times, but they couldn't make up their minds. Qin E knew that they were afraid that they would be smaller this year, and she would not be able to wear it when she grew taller next year.

Although they left Liaodong Mansion, their lives were not much better. She has money in her hands, but she can't explain where it came from, and she can't take it out and spend it. They still wear old clothes that have been changed and changed, and they only eat enough to eat.

"Qiu Ju, if you endure it a little longer, our life will definitely be better. ”

"Miss, why did you suddenly say that, the slaves don't feel hard to follow you. Qiu Ju wanted to say something more, but suddenly there was a sound in the distance, and the two couldn't help but stop and look, and saw a cluster of bright lights, heading towards the direction of the small mountain residence.

Qiu Ju said: "Coming in from outside so late, could it be that the master is back?"

Qin E didn't say anything, just looked in the direction of the small mountain house. After about half a cup of tea, the voices on the other side of the hill house became louder and louder, and more lights came on and moved towards them.

The others gathered when they heard the sound, Qin Yan took Qin E's arm, and looked at him on tiptoe.

With such a movement, they have already determined that it is not Qin Yun returning home. Gray Wen and Cui'er, who had gone out to listen to the news, ran in from the gate panting, and said urgently: "Miss, I heard that my aunt and grandmother, who have been living in the hot spring courtyard, have come back and are coming to our side." ”

"Grandma hasn't come back for many years, why did she suddenly come back today, and it's so late?" Dongmei shouted in surprise.

Qin Yan had other doubts: "Who is my aunt, why has she been living in another courtyard, and why is she coming to us?"

Qiu Ju explained softly: "My aunt is the old lady's sister-in-law, and she lives outside for some reasons, and the second lady wants to call her aunt and grandmother." She shouldn't have come to us, but back to her own courtyard, which is the Yunxi Pavilion to the west of us. ”

Qin Yan immediately remembered the yard she saw in the depths of the bamboo forest when she ran out to play with Nianxi. It is a more remote and pure place than Lan Wan Yuan, with white walls and black tiles, and there is a Fangxi passing in front of the door, which is very elegant.

While speaking, the lights were already approaching, and Qin E ordered: "Go and close the gate, don't go out of everyone, and don't climb the wall to see Nianxi." ”

Nian Xi looked at Qin E and blinked widely, obviously having this thought.

Qin E smiled and twisted her little nose, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

Everyone turned around and entered the house, Qiu Ju took a step behind and looked back at Yunxi Pavilion, and her two delicate eyebrows frowned slightly.

Dongmei closed the door and ran back and called her: "What are you still standing here, come into the house." ”

Qiu Ju loosened her brows and said with a smile: "Isn't this waiting for you." He turned around and closed the door, shut the snow and excitement out, and entered the house with Dongmei.
