The weather was unusual, and the early summer finally came to an end after a few days of heat, with a torrential rain pouring down without warning. Xia Xue'er stood in front of the window, looking at the rain feet falling in the courtyard and then bounced up, fine and dense, like a group of wonderful people dancing with the corners of their skirts, and like the dust scattered on the battlefield after a bomb fell, there was passion and fear.

There was a half-cut stump in the courtyard, which was split by a sword after she had been distracted by her practice a few months ago, and after that, everyone who had come to her yard persuaded her to cut it down, and plant a new shaded locust tree or an elegant begonia or something else, but she didn't let it, thinking that it was good, although it was a stump, but after all, she had an innocent time with the true owner of this body. It's not pathos, it's not kindness, it's just that I don't want to change her preferences at will! That's it, that's it.

After the rainy early spring, the skin of the stump was already covered with green moss, but in the unusually hot weather for several days, the green that had finally grown up was withered by the sun, and now it was good, and after the overnight rain, it began to turn green again, short, very full, very beautiful!

"Yesterday was fine, the sun was shining, but somehow it was cold like this all of a sudden!"

Dongmei muttered while taking a slightly thicker outer layer and gently draped it on Xia Xue'er. I don't know what's wrong with Miss, she never knows how to take care of her body, she has always been afraid of the cold, she only wears a thin middle coat and stands in front of this big open window! Not to mention, the front of this window is many times colder than in the house, and a cool breeze is blowing, as if it has returned to the cold winter wax moon!

"Thinking about the fact that yesterday I was still wearing a gauze skirt and an oil-paper umbrella, and today I have to put on a jacket and almost burn the stove, this god is really weird."

Qiu Ju entered the house with a basin of hot water, and happened to hear Dongmei's words, so she accosted: "This rain has been raining all night, and there is no momentum of going down until now, just like how many grievances God has to cry, the wind is also blowing strongly, when I passed by the garden earlier, I saw that many flowers and plants there were blown down by the west wind last night, which can be described as a mess." But the peony is very strange, it still blooms very well in such a big wind and rain, delicate, it seems that even the petals have not fallen! Isn't that strange, you say? ”

"Really? The spring flowers in this garden have withered a lot after that hot time, but this peony is proudly independent, thinking about previous years, it is really a little weird. ”

"Hey~ Why do I think the weather hasn't been normal since the beginning of summer last year?"

……

Xia Xue'er stood in front of the window with her hands folded, neither joining their discussion, nor moving a step, it seemed that even her breathing was depressed, and she instantly felt a sense of independence from the world, putting aside all the disturbances from the outside world, and living in her own inner world.

Unconsciously remembered what Cousin Wan said before: "Han Lian is noble, out of the mud but not stained; Autumn chrysanthemum is elegant, and it is better to hold the fragrance on the branches; The plum blossoms are tough, and they live in the ice and snow forest; The peony is captivating, and the morning glow is broken in a thousand beautiful ways...... And you are like all these flowers, noble, elegant, tenacious, and alluring, each of which can be said to be vividly reflected in your body, but it is easy to ignore the pebbles and weeds around you by holding your head high, and that is probably the culprit who eventually trips you. Therefore, I hope that you will have more of the enchantment of peach blossoms, the ruthlessness of irises, and the cruelty of mandalas. ”

At that time, Cousin Wan also looked at the bright peonies blooming in the garden and said, but at that time, she didn't understand what this meant, so she had the right to make a judgment and listen, but now she understands.

Although Cousin Wan has not been in the mansion for a long time, she is smart and has already seen all the complicated things in the deep water of the Xia Mansion thoroughly. She let herself have a little more enchantment of peach blossoms, the ruthlessness of iris and the cruelty of mandala, which is not only an expectation, but also refers to her attitude in dealing with Bai Yining's matter? Maybe she wanted to say it clearly at that time, but there were other hardships that were inconvenient to explain, thinking of her desire to speak and the entanglement in her eyes when she left, Xia Xueer suddenly had an epiphany.

With his own intelligence, it's not that he has no way to deal with Bai Yining, but he has always had something unbearable in his heart, so he wants to borrow Xia Qiaoyun's hand, right? If it weren't for Bai Yining hurting his mother, then I am afraid that he would not even be able to make the decision to borrow Xia Qiaoyun's hand, otherwise he would not tolerate her repeated provocations!

It's just that the sentence "It's easy to ignore the pebbles and weeds around you by just holding your head high, and that is probably the culprit that trips you in the end", does Cousin Wan still imply a deep meaning, is it implying something? Did she notice something again?

People around you...... People around you...... People around you...... Who is it referring to?

Is it Xia Qiaoyun or ...... Who else?

He turned around and took a closer look at the people around him. Dongmei is straightforward and simple, Qiu Ju is timid and introverted, Cuizhu is deep and intelligent, and pandan ...... By the way, what about pandan?

"Why don't you see Xianglan, what about her?"

"Oh, Sister Xianglan, she went out of the house early this morning, and she originally wanted to come over and ask Miss to say goodbye before going, but Miss was sleeping deeply, so she didn't dare to disturb. Let the slave maid talk to the young lady, and the result is ...... As a result, the slave forgot about it accidentally! ”

Xia Xue'er looked at Dongmei as she spoke, scratching her head while looking at herself with a flattering smile, sighed softly, and couldn't help but blame herself for being too careful. They are all people who have followed them since they were young, and their love is deeper than that of their sisters, and Xianglan is a person personally selected by Shizun, in order to protect her, how can she have different intentions?

Yes, you must have been overthinking!

Shaking his head and chuckling softly.

"Cher, Cher! Cher!! ......" There was a rapid shout from afar, which disturbed everyone in the house, and for a while, the originally quiet and peaceful listening to Yuxuan no longer existed, and the shouts and footsteps were mixed with the sound of the rain, but it was a little more noisy and a little more popular!

Who else dares to shout and tear their throats in this Hou Mansion today, and they are still calling the third lady's maiden name?

Except for the chic and cynical second young master, I'm afraid there is no one!

Xia Xue'er couldn't help but laugh when she heard this familiar voice. Since Cousin Wan lived in Tingyuxuan, the second brother rarely set foot in it, and after talking about it, it was even more to avoid Cousin Wan's questioning, and he disappeared for a few days, and as soon as Cousin Wan left, he shouted again, this news is really accurate!

Xiang Cuizhu glanced at him, and he was unhurriedly served by the girls to change clothes, wash, and put on makeup.
