Chapter 112: The Muppets
The puppet sent by Wu Xi made Ah Yuan like it very much, and at that time, he bit on the rabbit's ear with a big bite, and refused to let it go.
Only Yulan looked at the puppet in a daze, with a solemn expression.
"What's wrong with this girl?" Bai Lu bumped Magnolia with her elbow and told her not to make such an expression in front of the guests.
"I think of Sister Xingguo's marriage, and I don't know what to send, and I'm a little worried." Yulan quickly changed her smile and pulled out a reason.
Bai Lu took it seriously, looking at the positive joy of the conversation between the master and Miss Wu, Ah Yuan also had an agarwood watch, and quietly stepped aside and said to Yulan: "I am ready to send a set of noodles with Freehand Blank, you came late, unlike us, I think it is enough to send a hairpin or bracelet." Apricot likes bright things, you just pick a fancy one. ”
"Thank you, Sister Bailu, for the mention." Yulan whispered thanks, and then looked at Ah Yuan sitting in the middle of a pile of puppets waving his hands happily, and her brows frowned unconsciously.
When Wu Xi went back, she excitedly went to find the girl who helped her do needlework, Ah Yuan was so happy, and the main credit was hers. If it weren't for her help, she would have been able to do it on her own.
"Is Miss looking for Sister Xiaoya? She had something at home, so she asked her aunt for leave and went home. The maid of Wu Xiwu answered.
"That's it, then when will she come back, remember to sue me, I didn't give her a reward." Wu Xi had a lot to say to her, but she didn't expect that the person was not there, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
"They are all maids in the house, and they live in the back, and the young lady wants to give a reward, and the slaves and maids go to find it. They happen to have something to do, and maybe they can use it. "Wuxi's maid and Xiaoya have a good relationship, and they volunteered.
"Yes, then you can run for me, and say I thank her." Wu Xi took out a purse, stuffed five taels of silver into it, and handed it to his maid.
The maid went for a long time and didn't come back, until the evening, when Wu Xi felt that something was wrong, and the maid came back to report the news, and looked strange.
"Miss, Sister Xiaoya didn't go back at all, and the people in their family said that they had committed something and were sent to the countryside more than ten days ago."
"What?" Wu Xi couldn't help but be stunned, ten days ago, wasn't it when Xiaoya came to help her? There was such a big thing in the family, and she didn't show the slightest. Moreover, isn't she a maid to use in front of her aunt? How much can the family do, it is worth sending the whole family to the countryside, but she missed one of them.
The strangest thing is that since Xiaoya's family has an accident and does not live in the back alley, why does her aunt say that Xiaoya has something at home, and she asked for leave to go home.
The most important thing is, what about Xiaoya, where is she?
"Did you take leave to go to the countryside to settle your family?" After the maid finished speaking, she didn't believe it, Xiaoya wanted to keep her errand, so she didn't dare to go to see them now, at most she asked someone to bring some silver. She is a slave herself, where would she not know the way of survival of a slave.
"Why is this happening?" Wu Xi couldn't figure it out even if he broke his head.
Therefore, Wu Xi decided not to want to, and went directly to ask her aunt where Xiaoya went.
Wu was stunned, he didn't expect his niece to come over and ask her, and said with a slight smile: "There are always dozens of maids and wives in my yard, who can remember a little maid, you came to ask me like this, I was really stunned." ”
"It's my niece's fault, and I ask my aunt to forgive me." Wu Xi heard the unhappiness in her aunt's tone, and quickly stopped.
"Our aunt and nephew, what can't be said, you kid, just be too careful. Don't forget, Wu Ya still lives in the front yard, and you can go and see him if you are fine. Doesn't he like to ride horses? The prince said to send him a horse, and you can also go and learn. Ulan Gege can ride a horse, and his daughter's family is not a bad thing to learn. ”
The topic turned to his younger brother, and Wu Xi naturally became more.
"I also learned a little bit when I was a child, but when I grew up, my mother refused to let me learn anymore." Wu Xi was a little moved, the palace was much looser than her own home, and she was envious in private when she saw how wanton Ulan Gege lived.
After a few more words of laughter, Wu Xi returned to his room, and his face suddenly fell. It's just a maid, even if she really commits something, just say a word, will she still ask? Why my aunt avoided this question completely, she couldn't figure it out.
"Miss, don't pursue this matter, let's ...... after all" The maid was with Wu Xi the whole process, and naturally knew that she was still worried about Xiaoya's affairs.
"After all, we're here to visit." How could Wu Xi not know. What to learn to ride a horse is just an excuse, although the family doesn't say it, she knows her aunt's plans.
Younger brother Wu Ya was born with a good skin, but at the age of fourteen, he was already a tall and handsome young man, and the Wu family was good-looking, but he was exceptionally good. It seems that all the essence of the Wu family is concentrated in him alone, and when he goes out to walk, no one can praise him.
Such a young man, as long as he appears in front of the girl, can chant poems against him, scientific research articles, and ride a horse-drawn bow with martial arts, and he is very skilled. Dare to ask how it is not lovely, which girl's heart has seen a wave of waves.
If Ulan has a heart, according to the prince's temperament of doting on his daughter so much, it is possible to really agree. As for the Zhaojia clan, Zuo Wulan is not her biological daughter, as long as the prince agrees, she should not object.
As an older sister, Wu Xi certainly felt that her younger brother was not bad, and she just didn't know what her family and aunt were thinking, so she let it be.
That night, Wu Xi had insomnia, and repeatedly recalled what Xiaoya had done when she was by her side helping to sew the dolls, and she was sure that these dolls were made in front of her, so she was a little relieved.
Hongyun came back at night and saw the half-bed puppet, and couldn't help laughing, "What's going on, I remember that you don't like to do needlework." ”
"The Wu family's cousin made a gift for Ah Yuan, and he was so beautiful that his nose was bubbling."
"Where's A-Yuan?"
"I'm so excited to play during the day, I'm already asleep now." Daiyu asked Agarwood to bring the child over and show it to Hongyun.
"Don't, just let him fall asleep, who will accompany him."
"Bai Lu and Agarwood took turns to accompany them, and the two nurses were also in the house." Daiyu thought it was funny when she mentioned these two nurses, she didn't say anything about the milk if she didn't eat it, and she didn't allow anyone to hug her. Up to now, the nurse has become a needleworkman, and she is locked in the house every day to make clothes and shoes for A-Yuan.
"Miss Wu has a heart, she is quite a rule." Hongyun frowned slightly when he heard Daiyu mention Miss Wu.
"What do you think, I think she's different from others." Daiyu glanced at him with disgust and nodded his forehead, "You, the Wu family is not a small family, she is Miss Yan, where can she not be self-respecting." ”
If the Wu family has the heart to give their daughter to Hongyun, it is by no means a concubine or a child who can be sent away, at least it is also a position of side Fujin or Shu Fujin. If there was anything unpleasant before, at most it would be carried in through the side door, and there would be no possibility of formal entry.
Unless Wu Xi is stupid, he will find his own opportunity, and in the end, the gains will definitely outweigh the losses.
As he spoke, Yulan came in and said, "Put away the puppet on the bed for the master." ”
"It's okay, you can take it."
Yulan took away the things, and Hongyun said thoughtfully: "That young master of the Wu family is really good, Ama likes him very much." ”
"It's no wonder that I like it, it's really spirited." Daiyu also met once in Zhaojia's house, a young man like a jade tree in Zhilan, who was not impressed by it.
"Spiritier than me." Hongyun circled her from behind and rubbed her face with his nose.
provoked Daiyu to giggle, "Even children's vinegar is eaten, what about the face, let me find it, I must be squatting somewhere to cry, saying that you don't want it anymore." ”
Hongyun laughed, "Touch it, it's here." ”
"Nonsense."
"How did the lady know I was going to mess around." Hongyun picked her up and blew out the lights by the way.
Yulan said goodbye to Freehand outside, "My stomach hurts a little, you help me for a while, I'll come later." ”
"Stomach ache is not a one-time thing, I'll change it with you." Freehand is a person who doesn't like to care, and when he heard the words, he changed classes with Yulan.
Yulan left with a thousand thanks, returned to the house, took out a puppet from the hem of her skirt, and without hesitation, she directly disemboweled it with scissors and cleaned it up.
Wu Xi went to the front yard the next day to see his younger brother Wu Ya, he couldn't wait to take his sister to see his horse, "Sister, look, it was given to me by the prince, isn't it very beautiful." ”
"A real miracle." Before Wu Xi left, he saw Ulan Gege coming to lead the horse in the stable.
"You ride a horse too, a piece." Ulan Gege greeted Wu Xi, and Wu Xi naturally introduced her and Wu Ya.
"I know, the fourth brother who came back to ride a horse sued me, he is your younger brother." Ulan Gege laughed heartily, jumped on his horse, and walked first.
Wu Xi secretly looked at his younger brother, Wu Ya didn't seem to have any special attachment to Ulan Gege, and his eyes were still glued to the horse.
It seems that my aunt is too confident in her brother's charm, and now that she is like this, I am afraid that she did not expect it. Wu Xi smiled lightly in her heart, she felt that her brother was good, and of course Wulan was also very good, but the two of them were not suitable at all. Now like this, each has no intention, but it is the best outcome.
"Sister, don't you have to go to see A-Yuan today?" Wu Ya also knew that his sister went to the grandmother's house every day, and she persuaded her at first, thinking that their sister and brother were here to sit as guests, and they were not poor relatives who came to fight the autumn breeze, so there was no need to be too stubborn.
It was Wu Xi who said that he really liked A-Yuan, and Wu Ya didn't persuade him.
"I'll go in a moment." Wu Xi knew that his younger brother wanted to run away and change his way to drive himself away, so he glanced at him, "Go play, I won't come to see you in the future." ”
"Miss Cousin is here." The maids in Daiyu's courtyard all recognized Wu Xi, and hurriedly saluted when they saw her coming.
"What's going on?" Wu Xi smelled the smell of medicine all over the yard, and his face changed.
"It's Brother Yuan, I started to have a fever last night, and I called the imperial doctor early in the morning, and I'm decocting medicine at this time. Such a bitter medicine, how could Brother Yuan be willing to drink it, crying so heartbreakingly, the master cried several times. The little girl also wiped her tears, with a look of concern.
"Ah, how can this be, I, I ......" Of course, Wu Xi didn't dare to mess up at this time, let the little girl say it for herself, and went back first.
"Miss, Miss......" Wu Xi walked all the way fast, and her maid couldn't catch up with her behind.
"Miss ......" Seeing that Miss was going to Wu's yard, the maid finally caught up and stopped in front of Miss, "No, Miss, that's Grandma, it's your own aunt." ”
"A-Yuan is innocent, no matter what, I must ask clearly." Wu Xi's tears flowed, and he stared at the maid, "You understand, I also understand, I must ask about this matter." ”
The maid gave way, Wu Xi pulled his legs and walked in, and the maid and the others in Wu's house all exited the house. Only their aunt and nephew were left in the house, and they closed the door and talked for most of the hour.
