Jin Ru and his brother sent Jin Yi back to Fu Jin Xuan.

"Sister Yi, I have already found the person you asked me to help you find in your letter......" Jin Ruming's face was a little solemn, which seemed a little out of place with her usual coquettishness, "After the death of my aunt, none of the people in Qingtong Yuan stayed in the house, and they were dismissed together. I inquired for a long time, and luckily, I found the eldest girl who was by my aunt's side. ”

"She was originally from Huai'an Mansion...... There is a grandmother in my house, and she is a fellow countryman, so I went to Huai'an to inquire, and I really found her...... After being taken back by his family nine years ago, he was assigned to a rich peasant family in the countryside to make a partial house, and gave birth to a daughter, which was extremely bad. I heard that the main room is very unkind to her, and beating, scolding, and starving are common......" Jinru said, her brows tightly locked.

Jin Xuan, who was still on the side, continued: "Now it has been picked up and placed in my house." When you're free in two days, let's go and see you there. ”

He stared at her, his eyes were clear and clear: "Jinyi, if you have any plans in your heart, you can tell me." ”

Jin Yi looked at the two of them with a smile and nodded, "I've been thinking about you all these years, and now that I'm all right, I'm relieved." You don't have to worry about my business, since I can come back, I naturally have an idea. ”

Jin Xuan saw that her expression was faintly tired, and knew that she didn't want to say more for a while, so he said: "You have worked hard for many days along the way, so take a good rest first." After a few days, I will go and ask the ancestor to take you to live in our house for a few days. Good no good? ”

Jin Yi chuckled and nodded in response.

Jinru was a little happier at this time, and said: "I live in Ruyiju in this house, and I will come to see you early in the morning." ”

Jin agreed. Jin Ru reluctantly followed Jin Xuan away.

The two walked all the way out.

"Do you feel that Jin Yi came back this time, as if she was a different person than before?" Jin Xuan stroked the fine snow droplets on his sister's shoulders, and it began to snow again, and his tone was a little lonely.

"I don't think so." Jinru looked at him with a little doubt, a little puzzled, "Sister Yi has been there for so many years, and she must have suffered a lot." I've been worried that she's not in good health, but when I saw her today, I saw that she looked pretty good. ”

……

In the main hall of Fu Jin Xuan, the charcoal pot in the corner of the wall is burning vigorously, and the room is warm. There is a small and delicate red sandalwood woven gold bat pattern screen at the door, and there are a pair of several cases on the east wall, and a wide-mouth green glazed plum bottle is offered in a few red plums. On the other case, there is a peacock blue glaze secretly engraved unicorn pattern three-legged tripod, with internal combustion Suhe incense and smoke curling.

Qin Jinyi sat on the big pit near the window, and gently put the tea cup in his hand on the lacquered kang table. His face was as calm as water, looking at the few people in front of him, Cai Jing and Qiaowei, two first-class maids, four second-class maids, as well as two grandmothers and little maids doing rough work, spoke in harmony:

"Cai Jingyuan is the person next to my grandmother, and in the future, I will be here for you, and you will have to worry more about everything. Qiaowei has followed me since she was a child, and now she is still doing my personal affairs. ”

looked at a few cases on the east wall, "In the future, you will take care of the bottles and incense in my house." ”

and explained some family matters, Cai Jing and the two grandmothers saw that she behaved decently, and everything was properly arranged, no different from the boudoirs of other noble families, and the contempt in their hearts before was much lighter, and they listened respectfully and dispersed.

In the inner room, only Jinyi and Qiaowei remained.

Jin Yi looked indoors, and the shelf bed of the moon cave carved in hazel wood was covered with a red silk and gold silk gauze tent. A jade-faced carved auspicious pattern screen is blocked in front, and in front of the window is a white jade inlaid with gold engraved peony pattern diamond mirror dressing table.

All kinds of furnishings, all of which are full of new colors, seem to indicate that her past qiē has been buried.

Qiao Wei spoke on the side: "In the past, Miss lived in this Fu Jin Xuan. At that time, the lady was still there, and the young lady's embroidery pavilion was fresh and elegant. …… It was only three months after the death of the lady, and the young lady was sent to Huayin Mountain by the Hou Ye...... Nowadays, these things are not the old things. ”

Jin Yi stared at her, her eyes were full of pity, her expression was not like a master and servant, but like a sister, she said softly: "Even if the thing is still there, it is no longer a person...... You are like sisters with her, and since you can get out of there alive for her, you naturally have to make a long-cherished wish for her...... I've been with you for eight years, and I've come to see you as my own sister. ”

Over the years, she has lived with her identity, and she has long regarded herself as her. Returning to her former residence, the qiē around her body seemed to gradually coincide in the bottom of her heart.

There was a hint of confusion in her clear purple eyes.

Qiao Wei's eyes were red, and she said softly, "Miss, don't worry!" ”

"Silly girl, what am I worried about you?" Qin Jinyi came back to her senses, a smile spread on her lips, her purple eyes were unusually bright, different from the polite and reserved smile in front of people today, at this moment her eyebrows and eyes were sparse, like a touch of red glow after the clouds and rain on the horizon, warming people's hearts.

"Miss, today Young Master Jinxuan talked about 'a night of wind and rain', but the little building boy came to the capital?"

Jin Yi frowned, "In the last letter, he promised me not to come to Jianye. ”

She sighed lightly: "There is no need for him here, there is Uncle Cheng." For more than a year, Uncle Cheng must have arranged Jianye here. In a few days, you will have a chance to meet him. ”

Qiao Wei nodded in response, and went out to order someone to prepare hot water.

Returning from Huayin Mountain, the carriage walked for five days, all the way. Jin Yi went to the clean room behind the room to bathe, and when she came out, she pulled up her black and shiny, waist-length wet hair, put on a rose red and gold double-layer long-tailed robe, and personally teased incense in front of the case.

In fact, life in Shangxiutang over the years has not been as difficult as outsiders imagined. Uncle Cheng is doing well in the hall, although his life is not good, but there is no difficulty in scolding and scolding.

As early as three years ago, she had studied the skills of weaving, planting, medicine and food. When her grandmother sent someone to pick her up, she was no longer in Shangxiutang, but in Shuzhong Meiju.

What she learned there was enough to make her reborn and determined, and she had the capital to control herself and even others in Jianye City in the future.

In the evening, dinner was brought from the kitchen. Several delicate dishes with a variety of side dishes. Jin Yi sent everyone out, leaving only Qiaowei. The two sat together in front of the desk, and ate together as they had in Shangxiu Hall in the past.

Qiao Wei took a closer look at all the dishes, and some of them even took them to smell them closely, and said, "In the future, I will also watch more about the things on the stove." ”

Jin Yi snorted and said softly: "Our foundation is still shallow now, and there are no available people in the house, so you have to do everything yourself, you have to work hard." ”

Qiao Wei smiled: "I'm not afraid. ”

After the meal, the little maid in Xu's room came and passed on the words of Qingrong Hou, saying, "Hou Ye is back." said that today's business is too busy, a little tired, please the second lady tomorrow morning to go to the study to say goodbye, today is gone. ”

Jin Yi got up and politely responded.

The little maid said again: "Madame, please Miss Qiaowei to go." Let's ask the second lady what is still lacking here. ”

Jin Yi glanced at Qiao Wei, Qiao Wei understood, agreed, and followed the little girl.

It took almost an hour to return. Qiao Wei entered the house and saw Jin Yi sitting at the kang table, bowing her head and reading quietly. Cai Jing quietly accompanied her.

When Jin Yi saw her, she didn't ask much, but said lightly: "It's time to rest." ”

Cai Jing helped Qiao Wei and waited for her to go into the inner room to rest. Qiao Wei stayed in the inner room to keep vigil.

After Caijing went out, Qiao Wei leaned on the side of the bed and told Jinyi what Qingronghou and his wife asked her, all the details.

It's nothing more than what I learned in Shang Xiutang, how to live in daily life. Qiao Wei also replied carefully, big and small, all of them were exhausted.

Jin Yi listened quietly, and said with a chuckle at the end: "Master Hou's official work is heavy, and he still has the energy to listen to you talk about Shang Xiutang's trivial matters, it's really embarrassing for him." ”
