After coming back from Xiuhe Garden, Qi Xiangsi, who was supposed to do something, was sitting in front of the window at this time flipping through the two books that Brother Rong gave her, and Jade came in and changed a cup of tea for her.

Qi Xiangsi turned a page in the house, looked at the illustrated content on the paper, and thought of the past time in Yongzhou.

Although Ah Ying is not very literate, she is eager to learn, and she will let her teach her to read and write every day when she has free time, and a vacant space in front of the two wooden branch houses is a good place for them to read and write.

It was the happiest time, in the spring and autumn, Ah Ying's health was good, and he would go to the field to dig some wild vegetables and come back, and when he was lucky, he bumped into a blind cat and rabbit, and caught up with several meals of meat.

At that time, no matter how bitter the days were, Ah Ying never mentioned that she wanted to return to Qi's house.

Qi Xiangsi came back to his senses, and couldn't help clenching his fists, if Ah Ying was still alive

Lilac's voice came from outside the house, and the next moment the door was pushed open, and Jade came in with Lilac, and the little girl was out of breath and ran a lot of way back.

Qi Xiangsi asked Yushi to hand her a cup of tea: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Lilac gasped, raised her hand and touched the sweat on her forehead: "Girl, Sister Yunxia has gone out of the house." ”

"Just Yunxia going out of the house alone?"

Lilac nodded: "Sister Yunxia and the mother-in-law who guarded the door in the front yard said that they would come back later, and if it was dark, let her open it for her from the back door." ”

Qi Xiangsi glanced out the window, it was evening, and it would be dark in another hour, and if he came back at night, he wouldn't be able to go too far, so this matter would be done in the city.

Qi Xiangsi asked Jade to give Lilac a few dollars, and instructed her, "You give this money to the mother-in-law who cares for the door, please remember it at night, and see when Yunxia comes back and what is different when she comes back." ”

"Hey."

Ding Xiang took the money and went out, Qi Xiangsi asked Lian Xin to go to the food box in the kitchen, and then called Jade in: "Jade, you have a familiar steward in the house." ”

"Steward Xiao Liu in the outer courtyard is familiar with me, and I also have an elder brother who works in Madame's Zhuangzi."

"My brother?"

Jade smiled: "The cousin of the family, it just so happens that Mrs. Zhuangzi is in that village, and my cousin has a lot of strength and works a lot, so when I was recruiting, I asked Chen's mother to help and let my cousin work in Mrs. Zhuangzi." ”

"That's going to be easy." Qi Xiangsi summed it up, and it was not as convenient to use the people in the house as it was to use the people outside the house, "Jade, I have something I want your cousin to help with." ”

In the middle of the night, it was quiet in the Qi Mansion, and there was a gentle knock on the door of the front yard in the middle of the hour, and the mother-in-law guarding the door woke up violently, raised her hand and wiped the corners of her mouth: "Who." ”

"Mrs. He, it's me, Yun Xia." There was a soft shout outside, and Mrs. He got up and picked up the bolt at the door, opened the door and looked at Yun Xia, her face was a little dissatisfied, "It's not that it's been an hour, it's almost an hour and a half." ”

Yun Xia walked in with Yelu, and stuffed a broken silver into Mrs. He's hand with a smile: "There was a delay on the road, and the night is cold, so I'll buy you some wine to drink." ”

Mrs. He saw that it was only two dollars of silver, and the corners of her mouth were deflated: "Miss Yunxia, this Aunt Lu is so powerful in front of the third master, you just give this point, I can't say it." ”

Yun Xia was angry, how much money did she pay for a month to watch the door here, and it was not enough to give her two dollars of silver, but she couldn't spend time here, Yun Xia touched another piece of silver and gave it to her, and Mrs. He was satisfied, and lightly paddled the mat, and glanced into her arms: "Miss Yunxia, then you can go." ”

Yun Xia didn't say much to her, and hurried towards the path of the inner courtyard.

Mrs. He reinserted the door, yawned, hid the silver in her arms, leaned against the corner of the wall and began to calculate that she could get some more from the little girl of Lilac tomorrow, and fell asleep beautifully.

This Yunxia walked the path quietly back to the inner courtyard, entered through the back door of Xiuhe Garden, and finally arrived outside the window behind the main house.

The room was dark, Yun Xia knocked on the window lightly a few times, and it didn't take long for the room to make a slight noise, and soon the window opened, and the maid inside handed over the stool, Yun Xia stepped under his feet and entered the house, and the light was lit in the house.

The mother-in-law who was guarding the door outside the house opened her eyes and looked inside the house, and when she heard Aunt Lu calling for someone to drink water, she closed her eyes with peace of mind.

On the side of the bed in the room, Yun Xia knelt on the ground and took out a cloth package from his arms.

"What is this?" Aunt Lu looked at the old cloth in the package and frowned, "It's not that you were asked to go to the Lu family's shop to find my eldest brother, has the letter been delivered to him?" ”

"It's for Shopkeeper Lu." Yun Xia carefully opened the package, and when the small clothes included in it were revealed, Aunt Lu's face changed greatly, and she couldn't bear it before she screamed, and her body involuntarily took a step back, "What is this!" ”

Yun Xia also saw it, and was stunned when she saw that there was an old little pocket clothes inside, and reached out to get it, but was stopped by Aunt Lu in a low voice: "What did my brother say?" ”

"After reading the letter, Shopkeeper Lu gave this to the slave maid." Yun Xia also didn't know the content of the letter, and the maid on the side had already picked up the small pocket, revealing a letter placed under the pocket.

Aunt Lu took the letter with a blue face and opened it, looking at it, her face changed drastically.

There was only one candle in the room, and the light of the fire illuminated half of Aunt Lu's face, and the remaining half was immersed in darkness, she crumpled the letter into a ball with trembling hands, and then looked at the little pocket, and a touch of fierceness flashed in her eyes.

"You go back, find a box, and lock this up first."

Yun Xia rewrapped the little clothes and left the house from the window, the maid quietly took the stool handed in, closed the window and was about to blow out the candles, Aunt Lu opened her mouth to stop her: "Light it." ”

After lying down, Aunt Lu couldn't sleep anymore, and all she thought about was the little pocket coat, which was worn on the child back then, and when she took it to bury it, in order not to let people find out about it, the eldest brother took the dress back.

Take it back, just take it back, burn it, and let it go for so many years, and let Yun Xia take it back for her to dispose of.

Aunt Lu was still uneasy about the matter on the letter, she was in a hurry to bury it back then, and she didn't remember where she was buried after six or seven years, and it would take a lot of time to find it.

It was enough for them to find it first, and let the dead girl say that she would find the bones first, and maybe she had some other tricks waiting for her, and she must not be allowed to find them first.

Although Aunt Lu knows that even if she finds it after so many years, it won't mean anything, but she is panicked in her heart, and she always feels that this matter is not over, and if she wants to strangle everything to the source, the safest thing is to let her not find it, as long as she can't find her, there will be nothing else from the beginning.

Aunt Lu couldn't sleep all night, and the next morning, when the house was lively, she asked Yun Xia to go out of the house under the pretext of buying rouge, Yirongxuan here, Qi Xiangxi went to Biqiu Courtyard to ask for peace.

Acacia went early, she was the only one at this time, sitting under Mrs. Qi and talking about leaving the house two days ago, smiling happily.

"In two days, I'll let Dr. Guan take a pulse check for you." Old Mrs. Qi saw that her face was good, and she was relieved a lot, the girl's family had to take care of her body for a few days, she had lost money in the past, and now she has raised it for a few years, and it will be fine when she gets married.

"Grandmother, I'm much better, I don't have to worry about Dr. Guan." Acacia talked about the interesting story in Jinqiao, and Mrs. Qi hadn't been out of the house for a long time, and she laughed when she said this.

Old Madam Qi asked her with a smile, "Yanlin also took you to Danfeng Garden." ”

"Yes, the third sister and the fifth sister went to Zhenshui Temple, I want to go another day and light a lamp for my aunt and sister." Qi Xiangsi suddenly retracted, his eyes flashed and he was a little overwhelmed.

The room was quiet for a moment, Old Madam Qi still looked so kind, and Mother Lin on the side understood, and smiled and ordered someone to bring the dim sum in: "This is a freshly made dim sum, the fifth girl should try it." ”

Qi Xiangsi pinched the cup and was a little nervous, Aunt Wei was not a taboo, but the child who died at birth was a taboo, and there was also a farce of robbing Aunt Lu's son and lying that he was born by herself, she brought it up like this, hoping that it would not backfire.

Qi Xiangsi's cautious appearance fell into the eyes of Old Madam Qi, and she sighed slightly: "You have a heart." ”

The hand holding the cup tightened, but Qi Xiangsi's heart relaxed, and the old lady was at least not disgusted.
