Today is a rainy day, the rain is dripping, lingering, not small but not big, the weather in the south of the Yangtze River is like this, sometimes the sun is in the sky, sometimes it is rainy. Xia Xue'er first walked around the vast yard with an oil-paper umbrella, walking in the rain has a unique taste, and the fresh air awakens every cell in the body!

Then the rain was heavier, and then I went back to the porch. The maid at the door took the dripping umbrella, she stepped into the house, Dongmei untied her cloak stained with rain and dew, and Cuizhu took a dry handkerchief to dry the crystal raindrops dripping on the tips of her hair.

At this time, a maid at the door hurriedly came in and reported: "Miss, Mama Li asks to see you." ”

Xia Xue'er turned her head to look at the person who came, and ordered, "Please come in." ”

Mama Li is the housekeeper next to Mrs. Zhao, and her status in the Zhao Mansion is not much different from that of Mama Gui in the Anguo Marquis Mansion. She must have come in the rain at this time, there must be something important.

Just a few seconds after the words fell, an old woman over fifty years old came into the door, this is Mama Li. The maid opened the crystal curtain, and Mama Li carefully patted the raindrops on her dress before entering the room.

"Say hello to the eldest lady."

The subordinates here, in order to show respect for her, all call her "Miss", with her mother.

"Mama, please get up and speak."

As soon as Xia Xue'er spoke, Cuizhu hurriedly reached out and helped Mama Li, who was half-squatting. Qiu Ju moved a small stool, but Mama didn't sit down immediately, but shook her hand and said, "The old slave is wet, lest I stain the eldest lady's things!" ”

The stool was covered with a thick cushion and a piece of fox fur, which was very warm and comfortable.

"What is Mama talking about, if there is anything to sit down and talk about it first!"

"Hmm." Mama Li answered, then straightened her clothes and sat down next to the stool. Dongmei served tea, and she politely took it.

After Mama Li took a sip of hot tea to warm her body, she asked, "Mama came here in the rain, but what did grandmother command?" ”

"The old lady sent back a letter, and the old lady said that the eldest lady might be useful, so she asked the slave to send it to you."

Mama Li put down the teacup in her hand, rubbed her palms on her clothes again, and then took out a cloth bag from her arms and opened it layer by layer, revealing the envelope wrapped inside. With both hands, Cuizhu took it and handed it to Xia Xue'er. Xia Xue'er didn't open it to see, but put it on the pineapple wood table on the side.

"Grandmother is worried." Xia Xue'er smiled slightly after hearing this, and then asked, "Has my grandfather returned home?" ”

"There is no news of the return trip yet, the old lady said, it is estimated that it will be more than half a month."

Xia Xue'er sighed softly, and said with some regret: "In this way, I can only come back to see his old man when I have the opportunity in the future." ”

Mama Li also showed a sad look, lowered her head and did not speak.

After sending Mama Li away, Xia Xueer opened the letter on the table and saw that it was two land deeds and a shareholding letter for Dengxian Building. There were no surprises, no shocks, such a situation had long been expected by her.

Cuizhu looked at her young lady with a relaxed expression, and the corners of her mouth were smiling, so she asked curiously, "But it's done?" ”

Xia Xue'er put the title deed back in the envelope, and handed the envelope to Cuizhu, before saying, "Good life to take it." It's time to pack your bags and get ready to head home. ”

As soon as Cuizhu heard it, she knew that Miss was doing what she wanted, so she happily took the envelope and beckoned Qiu Ju to go down and pack her luggage.

After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn. The acacia and golden cinnamon in the courtyard have fallen a lot, crushed into the dust, and there is no glamour and brightness in the past, and there is really a bit of a dilapidated scene. The two maids took a long broom made of bamboo and were cleaning, and Xia Xue'er took the green bamboo to Zhao Wanqing's courtyard.

Zhao Wanqing's yard is not far from her, and she will come to eat with her on weekdays, because it is raining, the stone road is a little slippery, Xia Xueer has a sedan chair waiting there after she goes out, and the soles of the sedan chair are tied with non-slip reed grass, and the sedan chair is also stable.

Before Xia Xue'er arrived at the courtyard, a maid went in to report, and as soon as she entered the cave door, Zhao Wanqing greeted her, looking a little sad, presumably she already knew the news that Xia Xue'er was leaving.

took Xia Xue'er's hand directly, her eyes were red, and she didn't speak, but she felt a little "holding hands and looking at tears, but she was speechless and choked".

Xia Xue'er smiled slightly and teased: "What's wrong with Cousin Wan, her eyes are red like a little white rabbit!" ”

Seeing that Xia Xue'er also had a little red eyes, Zhao Wanqing reluctantly smiled and came out, and was reluctant to let go of her hand and pulled her into the house.

After the maid served the tea, they all withdrew from the room and waited, and the curtain was lowered, leaving room for her two sisters to talk about their hearts.

Xia Xue'er turned her head and saw the fan placed on the beauty's collapse, on which there were paintings and inscriptions painted by Murong Zetao, presumably the jade pendant was also hung by him. With a knowing smile, he looked at Zhao Wanqing and said, "Murong is a good person, you have to be good." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Wanqing snorted lightly in response, if there was no Xia Xue'er, she wouldn't be able to meet Murong, so how could she talk about the two of them? She is the bridge of their fate, but she herself is still alone.

"If you like it, you must grasp it, don't wait until you lose it to regret it, you are not a saint, don't wronged yourself!"

She is not her, she can't understand the helplessness of being the concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she can't understand the important role she plays in Vanity Fair, she is a woman, she only knows that the six princes have a heart for Xia Xue'er, but Xia Xue'er has no intention of the six princes, she and Su Qi should be together!

This farewell is not only what year and month can we meet, tears always can't help but burst out of my eyes.

"Isn't it the feast you said all over the world? Why doesn't it work when it comes to yourself? ”

Xia Xue'er pretended to smile easily, and patted her on the back to comfort: "Okay, it's not that we can't see each other, you can also go to the capital with Murong to see me, and I can also go south to Suzhou to see you, besides, I will definitely come when you get married!" ”

"You promise?" There was a nasal tone in his tone, but he stubbornly demanded a promise, as if it would come true.

Xia Xue'er stretched out her hand to straighten her shoulders, then raised her palm, raised three fingers, her face was serious, and her tone was extremely firm: "I promise!" ”

The world is the most bitter parting.
