The three of them easily appeased Julia and made her temporarily dismiss the idea of leaving, and the eighth elder brother ordered someone to send Julia a table of dishes, and then sent the ninth elder brother and them out of the house.

When the three of them got outside, Brother Jiu suddenly said, "Brother Starling, I think Julia has something to hide from us." ”

Eighth Elder Brother nodded: "I feel it, but we don't want to ask too much." ”

Brother Ten immediately said, "But Julia won't harm us." I'm sure of that! She wanted to leave, but she didn't want to bother us. ”

Brother Jiu nodded and said, "I know this." So even if she hides something from us, I'm afraid it's also her personal privacy, and it's inconvenient for her to mention it. Let's not inquire. ”

"Definitely. And we'll have to take care of her in the future. The eighth elder brother said, "We can't let her suffer in Daqing, we are the masters here, and we should do our best to be a landlord." ”

The ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother both nodded yes.

"It's just the same." Brother Jiu hesitated, "You really don't tell Fourth Brother about this?" ”

The eighth elder brother pondered for a long time before he said, "It's Julia who doesn't want to see him, and since she doesn't want to, we shouldn't have more mouths." ”

The tenth elder brother was a little anxious: "But starling, if you hide Julia in the mansion, the fourth brother will know sooner or later!" Hiding for a day or two can be done, for a long time, you can't hide it! ”

The eighth elder brother looked up and looked at the gate of the mansion.

"It's a day to be able to hide it." He said, "At least, Julia's mood has not adjusted yet, and she refuses to meet with the fourth brother." Let them meet in this way. I'm afraid it will make waves, you push her into a hurry, what if she runs away? Let's take a while, she'll get used to the environment here, and we'll make plans then. ”

That night, the eighth elder brother found two little girls for Julia and asked them to serve Julia's daily life, and Julia was busy saying that she didn't need to, she could do anything by herself.

"What do you mean by not being needed?" Eighth Elder Brother frowned and said, "Don't say you're so weak now. It's what you can jump and jump in the past. You can't do everything yourself. ”

In addition, the eighth elder brother also calculated that he had to find a slightly older and well-respected personal girl for Julia, so that she could help Julia adapt to life in the Qing Dynasty.

"There are a lot of things I can't teach you. It's better to let them teach you. He laughed. The rules are a bit cumbersome. But if you follow the rules, you will have an easier life after all. ”

Julia nodded: "I understand this." ”

The eighth elder brother looked at her for a moment, and then said, "You can relax." Anyway, in this house, I am the master. Even if you do something wrong or say something wrong, don't be afraid, I have already commanded them, and no one will dare to disrespect you. ”

Julia's eyes were slightly wet, and she lowered her head and said in a dumb voice: "Eighth master, don't worry, I won't do anything out of the ordinary." I fled here to take refuge, and I can't make trouble for you......"

Eighth Elder Brother Zhengse interrupted her: "Julia, don't say that. Outsiders call us Lord Belle or something, because they are confined to this time and space, and they can only see our external identity. You know best what kind of people we are. You came to live in Daqing, and there is one more companion, and we can't be happy anymore, how can we treat you with a hierarchical shelf? You really don't have to think like that, live here with peace of mind in the future, how you should live, how you still live, just as good as before. ”

Hearing his tone so sincere, Julia smiled and nodded in agreement.

Thinking of finding a personal big girl for Julia, Eighth Elder Brother felt that this matter had to be discussed with Ba Fujin.

So that night, he went to the house of the Beatitudes.

As soon as he saw him coming, Bafujin saluted him first: "Congratulations to Lord Belle, congratulations to Lord Belle." ”

The eighth elder brother looked surprised: "Where does the joy come from?" ”

"I heard that our family is going to have another Shu Fujin, isn't it?"

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "You, it's all screwed." ”

Beatitude Jin looked at him with wide eyes: "Isn't it? That Miss Wei, I heard that she waited outside the door for two or three days, it really made people cry! She traveled thousands of miles to find Lord Belle, hoping that Lord Belle could take her in with the old love, and finally was led into the house by the housekeeper Lao Su, and pretended to be a servant woman in a raccoon dress and washed her clothes for four or five days, and now she has finally met you......

"That's not the case." The eighth elder brother said unhappily, "You think about everything crookedly!" It's even more ...... than TVB In short, it's not what you think it is at all! ”

Bafujin seemed to be smiling: "Why should the master deny it?" Or do you think I'm a vinegar jar, and in the future, I will do things that can't tolerate her? ”

Although she was smiling, there was actually a thin layer of anger on her pretty face.

Eighth Elder Brother suddenly thought that this matter seemed to have to be explained to his wife, and at least part of the truth had to be told to her, he knew very well that Bafujin was not the kind of cowardly woman whose husband accepted many concubines with peace of mind, if she didn't tell the truth, she would probably make things difficult for Julia intentionally or unintentionally in the future.

Thinking of this, the eighth elder brother withdrew his subordinates and pulled the eight blessings to sit down.

"Zhen'er, she's not just here for me, she's here for a lot of people. But that's all she can find here. ”

When Bafujin heard it, he was inexplicable.

"Didn't you come to find you? So how did you get her into the house? And she is so easy to settle her, you are so busy during the day, the people in Hefu think that she is the outer room of Lord Belle! ”

The eighth elder brother raised his forehead and lamented: "It's really not like that, the reason is very complicated, think about it, if it's just my outer room, why am I in a hurry to find Lao Jiu and them?" Isn't that unreasonable? You just saw her waiting for me at the gate of the house, so did you see Lao Shi hugging her and crying? In terms of relationship, she is closer to her than me! ”

Ba Fu Jin sighed: "No wonder I saw Lao Shi coming out of the Moon Cave Gate, both eyes were red. ”

Eighth Elder Brother nodded and said, "This matter can't be publicized outside, once she comes...... She is still being hunted down, and secondly, the news spreads that she is involved with so many elder brothers, and they are also inconvenient with the old nine and ten, in case it reaches Huang Ama. That's worth it! So I thought about it, and I still felt that she should be quietly placed here. ”

When he said this, Bafujin finally removed the anger on his face.

"So, who is this girl?"

Thinking of explaining all kinds of reasons to his wife, the eighth elder brother felt that his head was big. He thought about it for a long time, and then said, "Let's put it this way." Julia ...... It's this Wei girl, she is kind to the old nine and ten, and also includes the fourth and thirteenth, for a few of them. She is a benefactor. There is a life-saving grace. ”

When Bafujin heard this, he was even more surprised!

"Although I didn't have such a close relationship with her, she helped me a lot." The eighth elder brother said, "This time she was in trouble. On the pavement. Flee here. A few of us can't die without help. ”

Bafujin's expression was hesitant and confused, she thought for a long time before she said: "I have never seen you do things like this. ”

Eighth Elder Brother laughed: "She didn't have high requirements. She is satisfied with having a place to live and being able to survive well. Zhen'er, in the future, there may be rumors outside......"

Ba Fu Jin smiled slightly: "So the master will run to me here first and give me peace of mind?" ”

The eighth elder brother had no choice but to smile and say: "No way, the Qing Dynasty is not as modern as ...... No better than outside. If you are suspicious, what are you going to do? ”

"But I don't understand, she's a single weak woman, what can she do to help you elder brothers? It is also said that there is a life-saving grace, where does this start? ”

Eighth Elder Brother just smiled bitterly, and he didn't know where to start, so he had to say: "These things, in the future, I will find a chance to tell you slowly." ”

It seems that his wife still has a pimple in her heart, and too, she suddenly left an unknown woman in the house, and anyone who looks at it will be suspicious. The eighth elder brother thought that if there was really a conflict in the future, then he would find a place outside to settle Julia.

After appeasing Bafujin, the eighth elder brother asked her if she had any trustworthy girls and sent one to Julia's side. Bafujin thought about it for a while, and said, "Since it was Kou Zhu who brought her into the mansion, let Kou Zhu serve by her side." ”

Coming out of the courtyard of the Eight Blessings, the Eighth Elder Brother thought about going over to see Julia's situation.

But as he walked, he stopped. Eventually, he retired his servants and sat down on the stone bench in the pavilion.

From this vantage point, he could see Julia's house, where the lights were still on, and busy figures were walking around under the lights.

For some reason, seeing this not-so-bright light source, the eighth elder brother felt a sense of peace of mind.

He didn't know why he did this: carrying Yinzhen behind his back and leaving Julia Qiang in his mansion - even if Julia refused to see Yinzhen, according to morality, he should have quietly informed Yinzhen.

But Eighth Brother just didn't want to do that.

Morality is no longer as binding on him as it was in the early years, and now, he just no longer deliberately goes against Yinzhen, that's all. In view of those things in the past, he still can't treat Yinzhen like the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother.

Anyway, Julia herself doesn't want to see the fourth, right? It wasn't his fault that he didn't stop her from seeing her. Eighth brother comforted himself, he and Julia were nothing originally, the old feud was gone, and now they were just friends, he just wanted to help her. He just couldn't help but want to leave Julia behind, just like the childish words that Lao Shi pulled Julia's sleeve during the day and said: Don't go, just stay here with me.

It turns out that what I want is nothing more than this, the eighth elder brother thought secretly, with a little guilt in his heart, but more than satisfied.

Because of Brother Ba's words, Bafujin thought about it for a night, and the next day he simply went to Julia's courtyard in person.

Julia was originally sitting under the window, following Zhu Zhu to learn how to adjust fat and powder, but when she saw Bafujin coming in, she panicked and quickly got up and saluted Bafujin.

Bafujin supported her with a smile on his face, and let her sit and talk.

"Lord Belle has already instructed that Miss Wei should be treated as the master and grandmother, and she must not be taken lightly." Bafujin said, "If there is anything lacking in food and housing, just tell me." ”

Julia smiled and said, "This is already very good, Fu Jin and Lord Baylor are too bothered. ”

Bafujin took a closer look at Julia, and was secretly a little surprised in his heart: this woman is only a middle-aged person, and she has a sickly face, yellow skin and thin muscles, I really don't know how she got involved with several princes and brothers.

She saw that Julia didn't have any jewelry around her, so she asked her personal girl to take a phoenix hairpin of her own and put it on Julia's head.

"It's not good to be too public, but it can't be too shabby." She said softly, "I haven't had time to prepare soft jewelry for Miss Wei right now, so I will wear this phoenix hairpin first, and then I will be ready." ”

Julia hurriedly thanked her, the phoenix hairpin was golden, and the hairpin head phoenix had a bright pearl in its mouth, which was not an ordinary ornament.

Bafujin said to Ko Zhu next to him: "A few days ago, the few horses sent by Jiangnan Weaving, you remember to remind me, and make a few clothes for Miss Wei in two days." ”

Julia panicked: "No need, Lord Belle has already sent a lot of clothes yesterday." ”

Bafujin smiled: "You don't know, this is the rule in this house, our lord doesn't like to be dusty, and Miss Wei has a noble status, and the clothes on her body can't be cleaner than the servants below." If I don't dress up the girl brightly, I will blame me. ”

Then, after a few more homely words, she got up and took her leave.

Bafujin returned to her house, she thought about it for a long time, and then asked someone to call Ko Zhu over.

"What do you think of that Miss Wei in the past few days?"

Kou Zhu heard the meaning of Fujin's words, so he said, "Go back to Fujin." Miss Wei is very responsible, and her temper is also very supple. Not the kind of person with a bad heart. ”

Beatitude Jin said thoughtfully: "Really? I originally thought what a beautiful beauty she was, so I made our master so attentive, but today I took a closer look, and I didn't think it was outstanding. ”

She remembered that she had just looked at Julia, and she felt that her facial features were a little different from those of the local women, and her contours were more profound, but when it came to pretty, she was not very pretty.

Ko Zhu laughed: "At first, the slave maid thought the same as Fu Jin, and the slave maid thought that she and Lord Belle were old acquaintances, but she used this roundabout method to sneak into the mansion, which made the slave and maid feel uncomfortable, and always felt that she had bad intentions. But after looking at it coldly in the past two days, it is not. As long as the master passes, Miss Wei is always very polite, and there is no trace of overstepping the boundaries in her speech and demeanor. ”

Ba Fu Jin nodded: "It seems that she and our master are really nothing." It's just that I don't quite understand, what is her identity? Why did we have a master and the ninth master to receive them so grandly? ”

Kou Zhu hesitated for a moment before saying, "The slave maid can't figure it out, this Wei girl is very strange." ”

When Bafujin heard this, he sat up straight and looked at her: "Strange? What's weird? ”

"It's not that the slave is wrong about her, it's just that ...... She didn't understand anything. ”

"Why don't you understand what to call?"

"Comb her hair, she looks like it's rare, and says, Oh, that's how it is! Asked her, didn't anyone comb her hair before? She said no, she was also messing around, and her hair was so short, she looked like she had been a sister-in-law, and she hadn't been vulgar for a long time. Rouge gouache, I don't know how to use it, I want to drink water, I don't know where the water is, I don't know how to call people, I can't wear clothes, I don't know which one to wear inside and which one to wear outside......"

Bafujin was moved to listen!

"Wouldn't you be a fool to say that!"

"But she's not stupid, she's obviously very smart, and she's quite good at talking...... Only occasionally, what is said is incomprehensible. ”

"What did she say?"

"She suddenly said last night, it turns out that you Qing Dynasty people live like this." Kou Zhu couldn't cry or laugh, "Fujin listen, is this still like words?" And she was literate, and she specifically asked the slave maid what the name was. He also asked, if there are any books to read, the slave maid said, does the girl want the four treasures of the study? She also said that she could not write, and said...... I haven't taken a brush. ”

Bafujin was puzzled when he heard it: "I haven't taken a pen, and I still want to read a book?" What is the rationale for this? ”

Kou Zhu shook his head: "The slave doesn't know. But apart from these places, the rest is good, nothing to fault with. ”

Bafujin thought for a long time, only to feel that this matter was inexplicable, and in the end, she had to say: "It seems that we have a god here." Well, since our lord wants to keep her, let's stay. (To be continued.) )
