After Xi Cui went back, the lights in the main room were still on, and when Qing'er saw Xi Cui, she hurriedly came over and said that Wang Shaoyan had looked for her a few times, and it should be Yun Ting who was looking for her. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

After Xi Cui entered, Yun Ting sat at the head of the bed with her body in her arms, and Wang Shaoyan sat on the embroidered pier next to the bed, holding a medicine bowl in her hand. It seems that Yun Ting refuses to drink the medicine obediently. Seeing Xi Cui come in, Wang Shaoyan stood up, and put the medicine bowl in the tray held by the girl next to him, with a look of anger, "Where did you go?" Your young lady looks like this, but you can't see anyone! Does this sound like a word? ”

Xi Cui saluted and didn't dare to reply, but walked up to Yun Ting respectfully, picked up the medicine bowl, and sat down against Yun Ting's body, "Miss, is it okay for Xi Cui to feed you the medicine?" Her voice is surprisingly gentle at the moment, obviously much smaller than Yun Ting, but at this moment, she is acting like a big sister who loves her sister and whispers to comfort her sick little sister.

Wang Shaoyan stood not far away, looking at the side faces of the two girls, one with beautiful eyebrows, a sickly face, and a helpless sadness in his eyes. A delicate and cute, smiling face, but her eyes flashed with distress and pity. And at this moment, he is like an irrelevant outsider, standing in the distance and unable to enter their world.

Yun Ting looked at the bowl in Xi Cui's hand, her brows tightened, and her eyes were blank, "Can you not drink it?" It's bitter. I don't sweat anymore, don't I need to take medicine, can't I have a good rest? ”

Xi Cui smiled, "Miss, have you already told your uncle these words?" How did my uncle answer you? ”

"He said no, he had to listen to the doctor." Yun Ting's fingers slid slightly, tracing the shape of her knees, and the smooth brocade liner was concave and floating under her hands, leaving no scratches behind her fingers.

"Still...... Miss knows that lying is not good. Xi Cui feigned anger, and said with a smile at the corner of her eyes, "Miss is an adult, just like my uncle." How can an adult be like a child and not drink medicine because he is afraid of bitterness? Don't you see that my uncle is drinking medicine every day? And we all saw that my uncle's health was getting better and better because he listened to the doctor and drank the medicine well, didn't he? ”

Yun Ting glared at Xi Cui with apricot eyes, "How do you know that's what Xianggong said?" Wasn't you there just now? ”

Xi Cui smiled and scooped a spoonful of soup medicine from the medicine bowl and handed it to Yun Ting's mouth, Yun Ting took a sip because she was surprised how Xi Cui knew that she was lying. After swallowing it, he couldn't stand the bitter taste, frowned, and opened his mouth and stuck out his tongue. Xi Cui looked at her like this, and suddenly her face was full of surprise, "Is it really that bitter?" Miss can't be a slave again, right? ”

"It's true, try it if you don't believe it!" Yun Ting pushed the medicine bowl away.

Xi Cui really took a sip, and then held it in his mouth for a long time, with a surprised expression, and after swallowing it, he would look ruthless, "Miss is talking nonsense, it's obviously sweet." Is it a spoon problem? You see, the slave and maid are not bitter at all when they drink it in a bowl, but it is very sweet. Miss also take a big bite to try! ”

In fact, it was a palm-sized bowl, and it was almost finished in one gulp. What's more, with Xi Cui's understanding of Yun Ting, this young lady's big mouth is not the delicate cherry mouth of ordinary ladies, it is a real big mouthful. Sure enough, Yun Ting picked up the bowl and put it to her mouth. Xi Cui hurriedly picked up the candied fruit on the plate held by the maid behind her, and when Yun Ting swallowed it in one gulp, she was about to accuse Xi Cui when a candied fruit was quickly put into her mouth. Yun Ting felt that something had entered her mouth, and smashed it twice, it was really sweet, and she actually laughed like this.

Only then did Xi Cui get up and put away the medicine bowl. Make the bed and lay Yun Ting's body flat, "Okay, Miss should have a good rest after drinking the medicine......"

These movements sat down, flowing smoothly and naturally, Wang Shaoyan and a few little maids standing beside them were dumbfounded, and several of them tried their best to make the eldest lady drink a sip of the medicine, and this one not only let her drink the medicine but also fell asleep with a smile......

Xi Cui settled down, Yun Ting watched a few maids go down with their things, and said to Wang Shaoyan, "The slave and maid retreat." ”

is a very normal sentence, but Wang Shaoyan doesn't sound very comfortable. There seems to be a faint smell of alienation in it, but when you think about it, it's not like that. By the time he thought about what he had or not, Xi Cui had already left the room and gently closed the door.

When I went out, I ran into Ximei, who had just returned. Xi Cui looked at Ximei, and there was no trace of panic on his face, it was really not simple, he could still keep his face and heart beating when he came back from a private meeting, if he hadn't heard those messy words with his own ears, Xi Cui really couldn't see anything wrong with this face.

Seeing that Xi Cui had been staring at herself, Ximei was not happy, "What are you doing looking at me like this?" I know it's time for me to be on duty today, and I'm not late, isn't that why I came? After speaking, he twisted his waist and went to the distance, leaving a fluttering sentence, "Go and change your clothes first, so as not to lose your manners in front of the master......"

Xi Cui gritted the root of his back teeth, but his face did not miss a trace of expression. Xindao, dare to be so arrogant when you do something wrong, do you really think that everyone else is dead? With your rhythm of death, your temperament of death, and such a mouth of death, do you still need me to do it if you want to die? Are you going to climb up the pole and die?

I couldn't sleep when I went back to my room and lay on the bed. Thinking of the things in Ximei's hand, Xi Cui's heart beat wildly. Mama Wu is not even coming to the Wang family now, does she also suspect that the news is known to Ximei? But she didn't tell herself anything, what did she do?

There was a sound of the door closing next door, it should be Ximei who went to watch the night. Xi Cui listened to her footsteps and walked away, waiting for a while before slowly getting up. Touched into Ximei's room again. Now she was familiar with the road, and reached directly into her futon, and after finding the box, quietly returned to her house.

Climb into bed, put down the bed tent, and light the lamp inside. First, I took out the bottle, opened it, and poured the contents into the palm of my hand, it was all white powder. It smelled nothing. Fortunately, Mrs. gave herself some pearl powder before, which was also white powder and had no taste, so Xi Cui said that all the medicinal powder in the bottle was poured into a small square box, and then filled it with pearl powder, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and then put it back into Ximei's box. Then took out the list and looked at it carefully, she hadn't even seen these people, although the shops behind had heard of it, but she didn't know that these were actually the properties of the Hou Mansion. No wonder Mrs. was so generous when she married Miss, she only knew that Mrs. was rich, but she didn't know that Mrs. was so rich!

This piece of paper must not fall into Liu Qian's hands. Since this is the case, then just like the medicine just now, do not change the soup and change the medicine. Bringing paper and pen, Xi Cui followed the paper and started it. Over the years, I have been forced by my wife to read and practice calligraphy with Miss, and I dare not say what I have to do, imitating Miss's handwriting to hand in homework for Miss, and she has done quite perfectly. Over time, she has achieved a little success in the ability to copy handwriting. So I made up a new list based on the handwriting on it. Afraid that Ximei had read the list so as not to arouse suspicion, she deliberately left the first and last names unchanged, but just changed the shop signs behind them. Blowing dry the ink, Xi Cui looked at it with satisfaction, and then folded it according to the original list, put it in the box, and quietly put it back in its place.

After everything is cleaned up, it's almost time to bring Yin. Xi Cui was very excited because he had done a big thing, so he simply didn't sleep, sat at the round table and read a book and waited for dawn.

Estimating that the hour was almost up, Xi Cui cleaned up himself before going to the main courtyard. Yun Ting had already gotten up, and when Xi Cui went in to serve, she found that her complexion was much better. Wang Shaoyan asked to follow his little servant to Liu's place, and when he passed the word, he said that Yun Ting was sick and would not go to ask for peace in the morning. Yesterday, the Liu family already knew about the doctor's entry into the house, although he didn't say anything, he felt uncomfortable.

Xi Cui patiently waited for them to finish breakfast and followed Wang Shaoyan into the study. She told her what happened to Heju yesterday, and then said her thoughts, which meant very simply, hoping that he could go to Liu's place in person. If nothing else, just to give Liu a signal. She said it very clearly, and Wang Shaoyan could understand it, but she always felt that Xi Cui's way of talking to herself was a little different, which felt very similar to the resignation last night, obviously alienated but not flawed.

"Xi Cui, you ......" Wang Shaoyan said to his lips, but he didn't know what to say. I vaguely felt that Xi Cui's change was related to his anger that night, but he didn't do anything wrong at that time.

Xi Cui looked at him expressionlessly, "Uncle, is there anything else?" ”

"Forget it, I'll go to Heju later, you can go down." Wang Shaoyan waved his hand. He felt that this was fine, Xi Cui didn't dare to act rashly anymore, he would discuss anything important with him, and it seemed that he was back in control of everything, but he always felt that something was missing in his heart.

Not long after Wang Shaoyan left, the old lady's mother Mu came over in person. It seems that Yun Ting's illness happened yesterday, and Ning Ju has received the news. Mother Mu brought some supplements for the old lady, and Xi Cui asked Mother Mu to bring back the gifts she had prepared for the old lady that day, and said a lot of good things before sending people away. The turmoil brought by this first invitation can be regarded as over.

Wang Shaoyan didn't come back alone.

Yun Ting was lying on the chaise longue eating grapes, gossiping with Xi Cui from time to time. Xi Cui sat on the side and read the book, and agreed casually, most of the answers were not asked, and the two of them could still look at each other like this.

Wang Shaoyan looked at the two men behind him, one was as dumbfounded as himself, and the other was accustomed to smiling.

The light at the door was blocked, Xi Cui squinted at the three long figures standing in front of him, and before he could see clearly, he heard Yun Ting's surprise cry, "Brother!" Brother, have you come to see Yun Ting? As he spoke, he jumped and pounced on a man with a tall and handsome posture, and the person who came was Xi Yunjian.

Wang Shaoyan stood at the front, dumbfounded at his wife, and standing on the other side was Nangong Yufeng, who made Xi Cui unconsciously have a headache when he thought about it.

Xi Cui hurriedly got up and saluted, and put away the things in front of him. I went out to prepare tea for a few people. Wang Shaoyan resisted the urge to take Yun Ting off Yun Jian's body, tried his best to maintain a warm smile, and gently pulled Yun Ting's arm, "Yun Ting, hurry up and let the eldest brother sit down and talk again." ”

Yun Ting held Yun Jian and didn't let go, shook her head and said, "No, I haven't seen my brother for a long time, let me hold it for a while...... Xi Cui must also miss his brother very much, and he will let Xi Cui hug him too! ”

Wang Shaoyan: "......"

Xi Yunjian: "......"

Nangong Yufeng: "......"

When Xi Cui came in with a teacup, Yun Ting took Yun Jian's hand and stood beside Yun Jian. Three men sat in two rows of chairs. On the left, Yun Jian was sitting alone, and Yun Ting was standing beside him. On the right, Wang Shaoyan and Nangong Yufeng sat without saying a word, looking at the pair of brothers and sisters opposite, you and I said some meaningless nonsense.

After the four teacups were placed, Xi Cui's hand was placed on Yun Ting's shoulder, and Yun Ting was gently taken to the seat next to Yun Jian. Then he stood beside him and didn't say a word.

Nangong Yufeng wanted not to pay attention to her, but his eyes did not obey, and he always looked at Xi Cui uncontrollably. Although Yun Jian was talking to Yun Ting, her eyes inadvertently swept over the top of Xi Cui's head, she didn't even wear the pearl hairpin, didn't she like it?

Xi Cui just stood honestly like this, but still noticed the strangeness of these two people, and began to drum in his heart. Nangong Yufeng, this guy doesn't have a good thing every time he comes, and this time I'm afraid there will be some moths again. And this Xi Yunjian, why didn't he realize that he still had the ability to attract bees and butterflies before, this one in front of him is still a superb overlord butterfly! Wang Shaoyan just warned himself some time ago to keep a low profile, didn't they come over at this time to make trouble for themselves?

"Oh, by the way, brother, has Mama Wu returned to the Hou Mansion? What's wrong with her, why is she going back? Yun Ting never saw Mama Wu and asked Xi Cui, Xi Cui only said that Mama Wu had returned to the Hou Mansion, and she didn't know the reason, but she didn't expect that Yun Jian would come over not long after she finished speaking, and Yun Ting asked directly before she forgot it.

"Mama Wu?" Yun Jian was puzzled after hearing this, and when he looked at Xi Cui, he received a look that was already familiar. So he smiled, "Oh, I met a few days ago, but I didn't have time to say hello." I've been very busy lately and rarely spend time in the house. After speaking, he put his right hand behind his back and gave Xi Cui a gesture. These are all things they often do in the Hou Mansion, they don't need words, they know each other at a glance.

Yun Ting sighed, this matter is over. Of course, Nangong Yufeng and Wang Shaoyan saw their interaction, but their attitudes towards this matter were different.

Wang Shaoyan was a little surprised, but more envious. He knew Yun Jian's thoughts about Xi Cui, but he didn't know what Xi Cui thought about him. Seeing such a close cooperation between the two today, I thought that this was the so-called heart-to-heart, and I felt a little uncomfortable when I thought that I was not as close to Yun Ting as Xi Cuilai. And then there is his treatment of Xi Cui, although he repeatedly reminded himself that Xi Cui is just a maid, but in his heart he always can't help but want to be close to him, not the kind of closeness between men and women, but more because of the envy of the relationship between her and Yun Ting.

Nangong Yufeng was even more strange, he found that a small flame had risen in his heart. Seeing Yun Jian laughing like Xi Cui, his heartbeat would increase inexplicably, and he would even clench his fists, eager to separate them between them. I don't know why, since he went back to the Wang family with Xi Cui last time, he always couldn't help but think of this little girl. Obviously not very beautiful, her temperament is not very good, and she is still a lowly maid, but she just wants to see her. This time, I heard Yun Jian say that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the third lady of the Wang family, and Mrs. Hou is not in good health and it is inconvenient to go out, so she asked herself to send gifts in advance, and take a look at Xi Yunting by the way. He knew that Yun Jian would definitely come over to see Xi Cui, so he followed without thinking about it, although he didn't have anything to say when he came.

Yun Jian took the gift prepared by his wife and handed it to Xi Cui. Xi Cui looked at it, it was a red glass head, very exquisite. Put it away carefully.

Wang Shaoyan said a few polite words, but turned the conversation to Nangong Yufeng's side, "Yufeng, you also have some friendship with my two sisters, why don't you even say anything?" ”

Nangong Yufeng said, "I've been busy lately, so how can I worry about your sister's birthday gift." Another look of course, "Besides, our friendship hasn't been around for a year or two, when did I give a gift to your sister?" Anyway, I don't send it every year, but this year, it seems abrupt to send it over. ”

Xi Cui couldn't help but laugh secretly, this person, many people don't blame people for not knowing such a truth. also used the usual unreasonableness as an excuse to make a raft, that is, in that kind of status, born in other people's families may not be how difficult it is to live.

Nangong Yufeng had been paying attention to Xi Cui's side, and when he saw that Xi Cui's face showed a little smile after he finished speaking, he knew that she was laughing at herself, and she was a little stunned for a while, and the roots of her ears turned red.

Wang Shaoyan was inevitably a little strange when he saw him like this for the first time, and asked, "Yufeng, are you ashamed of what you said?" I didn't know you were so self-aware after all these years of friendship! There was a burst of laughter.

Cloud Sword also laughed.

Xi Cui naturally smiled, but he smiled in his heart, but he couldn't see it on his face. She didn't want to be targeted by this prince of the prince at this time, and the lessons of the first few times had only passed for a long time.

Nangong Yufeng ignored him, but his eyes kept glancing at Xi Cui's side, he has always disliked doing things in secret, so naturally he was easily discovered by the two people around him.

Yun Jian's heart suddenly tightened, and a wave of uneasiness came to his heart.

And Wang Shaoyan is different. Yun Jian liked Xi Cui, which Mrs. Hou told him, and he didn't care at the time. But after getting along these days, he gradually discovered Xi Cui's goodness. It's nothing for a good girl to be liked, after all, Xi Yunjian is Xi Cui's old master. But if there is one more person to worry about, it will be different, no matter how Xi Cui is now, he is a person in his house, and it is uncomfortable for Nangong Yufeng to stare at it like this.

Xi Cui originally lowered his head and listened, but suddenly several people stopped making a sound, and couldn't help but look up, but what came into his eyes was a pair of scorching and glowing black eyes......
