The green bamboos outside the courtyard vary in thickness and length, but each one is slender and straight. The wind blew lightly and quietly, and the bamboo leaves trembled slightly, as if a beauty was whispering.
Fang's mother saw Yuxi standing in the backyard and looking at the bamboo for a long time, she really didn't know what the bamboo was so good about: "Girl, the wind is so strong, let's go inside!"
Yuxi turned his head and said, "If you don't enter the house, you will be bored in the house." Mom, it's time to cook, right?"
Fang's mother was a little helpless. After the girl recovered from her illness, when she saw her cooking, she stayed by her side to watch her cook, and she learned to cook. Fang's mother couldn't cry or laugh, what kind of cooking skills did the four-year-old child learn, but she couldn't resist Yuxi, and thought that learning cooking was also a good thing, so she didn't object.
After lunch, Fang's mother said to Yuxi: "Girl, Mrs. Cao, who delivered the food today, told me that we will be able to go back to the Rose Courtyard in about two days." "The Rose Courtyard is the courtyard where Yuxi lives.
Yuxi nodded, in her previous life, she also lived in Qingzhu Xiaozhu for more than a month, and she didn't move back to Qingzhu Xiaozhu until Yuchen's illness was cured.
Yuxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mother Fang, there is one thing I want to ask you, how did I get smallpox?"
Fang's mother asked strangely, "What's wrong?"
Yuxi said: "The third brother was infected by people outside, I have never been out of the inner courtyard, and I have never been in contact with the third brother, how can I have smallpox?" Although smallpox is terrible, as long as it does not come into contact with the pathogen, it will be fine. During this time, Yuxi thought about it for a while, how to think about it, how to think that there was something strange about her smallpox.
Fang's mother really didn't think about it, and her face changed greatly when she heard this: "Girl, does someone mean to harm you?" Thinking of the previous kitchen deduction, Fang's mother's heart was heavy.
Yuxi wasn't sure: "I don't know if someone really harms me, I just think it's too strange." ”
Mother Fang's eyes flashed with a touch of ruthlessness, and she said: "Don't worry, girl, if someone really blackens her heart and wants to hurt the girl, I will definitely want her to live rather than die." ”
Early the next morning, three people came to Qingzhu Xiaozhu. The leader is a beautiful woman wearing indigo and a duck egg face, followed by two rough envoys who are five big and three thick.
Yuxi only felt that the maid at the head was a little familiar, but he couldn't name it. Mother Fang exclaimed happily, "Mo Ju, are you here to pick up the girl and go back to the Rose Courtyard?"
Yuxi then remembered that Mo Ju was not the big girl next to her, she hadn't seen Mo Ju for more than ten years, and she had forgotten about it.
With tears in her eyes, Mo Ju gave Yuxi a salute and choked up: "Yes, it was the eldest lady who asked me to pick up the girl and go back to the Rose Courtyard." The girl was able to survive this catastrophe this time, and it was really blessed by the Bodhisattva. ”
Yuxi said indifferently: "This time I can survive the catastrophe because my mother is blessed by heaven!"
Mo Ju nodded again and again and said, "Yes, it must be Mrs. who blesses the girl in heaven." "This smallpox killed a lot of people, and all those who died were burned, and they couldn't even keep their bodies, for fear of leaving something behind. The girl was able to escape this catastrophe, and it was really blessed by God.
Yuxi's heart is relieved, he is finally leaving this place, and there is nothing to clean up, everything here has to be burned.
The green bamboo building is a little far from the Rose Courtyard. Yuxi was not in a hurry, and looked at the scenery on the road while walking. Since marrying into the Jiang family, she has only been back a few times, and the Yiqiē here is now a little strange to her.
When Mo Tao saw Yuxi, tears also fell from her eyes: "The girl is back." "Yuxi has a total of four big girls, namely Mo Ju, Mo Tao, Mo Yun, and Mo Xiang.
Fang's mother said: "If you have anything to say, go back to the house and talk about it." The sun is poisonous, but you can't bask the girl. After walking such a long way, the girl had fine sweat on her forehead.
Mo Tao lit the brazier at the door and said, "Girl, if you step over this brazier, you can remove all the bad luck on your body." ”
Yuxi didn't hesitate for a moment, took a step on his calf, stepped over the brazier and walked into the Rose Courtyard.
The Rose Courtyard is not large, facing two main rooms, with ear rooms on both sides of the main house, and east and west wings on both sides. The Rose Courtyard is relatively small compared to the other courtyards of the Guogong Mansion.
The reason why the Rose Courtyard got this name is because there is a rose on the wall on the right side of the courtyard, and now it is the season of roses, and the roses blooming on this wall are either purple red or jade white, which is very beautiful. And under the window, a few bushes of plantains are planted, and the fan-like banana leaves are stretched out, green like silk, reflecting a shade.
Entering the house, Yuxi swept his bedroom, which was very poorly furnished, and there was a six-poster bed against the wall. Opposite the bed are two sour wood chairs, next to which is a screen, behind which is a small clean room. In addition to the necessary furniture, there are no jade, gold, porcelain and other furnishings in the house. The simple house outside the house is elegant, but here she is the opposite.
Fang's mother came over and said, "Girl, take a bath!" After bathing and changing clothes, the changed clothes were taken and burned by the maid, which was also to infect others.
Mo Ju wiped Yuxi's hair with a dry towel and said softly, "The girl has suffered these days. ”
Yuxi glanced at Mo Ju, she had eaten and drunk spicy food every day for the past month, she had grown a lot of meat on her face, and her complexion was also very good. Mo Ju said that she had suffered, which was a bit of a shame. Yuxi said lightly: "If you don't die in a big disaster, there will be a blessing in the future." Because of her misgivings, she now doesn't trust the four maids. Speaking of which, she really failed completely in her previous life, and when she died, there was no one around her who could be trusted.
Mo Ju smiled and said, "Well, the girl will definitely be rich and wealthy in the future." ”
Yuxi asked, "What about Mo Yun and Mo Xiang?" There are only two of the four big girls left, and she doesn't know where the other two have gone.
Mo Ju didn't think much about it, and said: "Mo Yun's mother was sick a few days ago, and she didn't know that the girl would come back today, so she told the housekeeper's mother to take leave and go home to take care of her mother." Mo Xiang she ......" paused, Mo Ju still said: "Girl, Mo Xiang is gone." ”
Yuxi stiffened and asked, "Why is it gone?"
Mo Ju's hand paused, and then said softly: "Mo Xiang also has smallpox." "To put it simply, Moxiang was also infected with smallpox, and then died.
Yuxi's face was a little unsightly.
After drying her hair, Ok-hee sat down in front of the dresser. This dresser is made of wenge wood, and as far as Yuxi knows, the furniture used by the slightly faceless housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion is made of wenge wood. She used to be sad because of such a shabby arrangement, but now she doesn't care about these things anymore: "Pick me out a plain color dress." ”
Hua Tao divided Yuxi's hair into two strands, tied symmetrically into two large vertebrae, placed them on both sides of the top of the head, and drew a small lock of hair in the bun to make it hang down naturally.
Yuxi looked at himself in the bronze mirror, he was as thin as a bamboo pole at this time in his previous life, but now his face is very ruddy, and it is comfortable to look at.
After Mo Tao took two small boxes and opened them, Yuxi saw that half of the jewelry in the box was silver, and the rest were either gold or pearls, and there were no gems or diamonds. Yuxi said: "You don't need to wear jewelry. ”
Hua Tao vetoed Yuxi's mention and said, "Girl, let's wear two pieces of jewelry! "The old lady doesn't like her own girl, if she dresses like filial piety again, she will be scolded by the old lady.
Yuxi wanted to say that she didn't like to pull it, and she wasn't uncommon anyway, but she could only think about it in her heart: "Then what do you think is good to wear?"
Hua Tao picked out two blue beaded flowers from the jewelry box and put them on Yuxi, and asked, "Girl, what do you think of this?"
Yuxi is not interested, although he has been raising for a month, his complexion has improved a lot, but his body is too weak, and it will definitely take a while to fully recover. She can't see where she can go no matter how she dresses now: "It's almost done." ”
After combing her hair, Mo Ju came over with a set of aqua blue dresses. Yuxi shook his head and said, "Change the set." "It's always blue, and she doesn't like it anymore.
Dressed neatly, Yuxi took Mo Ju to the upper room. The upper room was also a little far from Yuxi's Rose Courtyard, and Yuxi still walked slowly, so that he could familiarize himself with the road here.
Entering the weeping flower gate, bypassing the rich peony interstitial screen in front of the door, walking through the hall, a bright and strict courtyard is presented in front of you. There are five upper rooms in the front, carved beams and painted buildings fly eaves and hanging corners, a good rich hall, and the wings between the verandahs on both sides are lined up.
A beautiful woman in purple clothes opened the door curtain and walked out of it, saw Yuxi and said with a smile: "Fourth girl, the old lady happened to rest, and when the old lady woke up, the slave and maid will tell you." ”
Yuxi didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction on his face, but said with a smile: "Trouble Sister Cuiyu." ”
Cuiyu was a little surprised, the four girls looked gloomy before, but this illness seems to have become smart: "The girl has tormented the slave maid, this is what the slave maid should do." ”
When Yuxi turned around and was about to leave, he saw Yuchen coming out of the house.
Yuchen was wearing a white gauze dress, covered with a crescent-white half of his arms, a snow-white moonflower skirt, fair and delicate skin, a delicate and small melon seed face, a pair of big watery eyes seemed to be able to drip water, although his face was pale and a little thin, but the corners of his eyebrows and eyes showed such a rare charm.
Seeing Yuchen, a complicated look flashed in Yuxi's eyes. Rao has lived a lifetime longer, and she still feels that God loves Yuchen too much. not only gave Yuchen the appearance of the country and the city, but also gave her extraordinary talent. Because of such a radiant sister, her pressure is not ordinary. Obviously, her appearance is not bad in all aspects, but in front of Yuchen, she can only be a foil forever, and she has no self-confidence and is particularly inferior.
Yuxi suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and shouted with a smile at Yuchen: "Third sister." "After living an extra life, Yuxi now sees it. Some things are predestined, envy and jealousy are useless, and inferiority is not needed. Because you are envious, jealous and even inferior, you are so bitter that you are only yourself, and you will not let the other party have the slightest damage.
Yuchen saw Yuxi and thought of his brother who died young, and felt a little sad. However, seeing Yuxi wearing a crescent white dress, he had two good feelings for Yuxi: "Grandmother didn't sleep well yesterday, and she will be sleeping back." Fourth sister, come and sit in my room!"
Yuxi was a little surprised, she didn't get this treatment in her previous life, but she still happily responded: "Okay." "The old lady loves Yuchen, and she has been by the old lady's side since Yuchen was born.
