On the first day of February, the cold wind did not abate at all.

Every ten days, Shen Youqing has to go back, she closes the Huarong Hall as usual, locks it, and when she turns around, she stays in the same place.

She looked at the two people five steps away, teenagers and girls with somewhat similar faces, their faces were full of joy, but for Shen Youqing, there was no joy at all.

There was not too much expression on her face, but she had been secretly crying for a long time in her heart, and in the end, she still took out the key, opened the lock, pushed the door in, and said, "Come in." ”

The girl and the boy outside the door immediately stepped in, and the girl first took a few breaths of the aroma in the air: "It's so fragrant." ”

"Miss, I've finally found you."

"You don't know, Chu Jiu and I have worked a lot of hard work to find you."

"How did you come up with the idea of coming here?"

“……”

Shen Youqing patiently listened to her say everything she wanted to say, and then instructed her to pour a cup of tea from Chu Jiu in her mouth, "Yuxi, drink some tea to moisten your mouth." ”

Yuxi took the tea and drank it directly, and it wasn't until Chu Jiu's eyes reminded her that she remembered the rules, straightened her waist, and solemnly saluted Shen Youqing: "The slave maid has seen the fourth lady." ”

"Get up."

Yuxi was stunned, and when she looked at Shen Youqing, her pupils dilated slightly, innocent, fearless and ignorant.

She probably felt that Shen Youqing was a little cold, but she thought that maybe it was just because she hadn't seen her for a long time.

Yuxi and Chu Jiu are twin brothers and sisters, and they are nine points similar in appearance, Yuxi is lively to the extreme, and Chu Jiu is wooden to the extreme; Since childhood, they have been with their mother and have stayed with their master, and after her mother died, they continued to stay by her master's side.

Their master is Shen Youqing's mother.

When Shen Youqing was ten years old, they followed Pei's back to their parents' house, and that time was also the first time Shen Youqing saw his biological mother after five years. When Pei returned to her husband's house, she did not bring Shen Youqing back, but left her with two small tails.

Since then, Shen Youqing has often received air greetings from his mother who is a flying pigeon or a messenger, and the content of the greeting is very simple, two words: accountability.

Shen Youqing didn't remember when she knew that the two people she was following were spies, but she remembered that she thought that they had said bad things to her mother, so that her mother didn't like her and threw her in the General's Mansion, so she beat them, although she was later scolded by her grandfather, but she was still very happy, and she had a sense of revenge, and after that, she drove Yuxi and Chu Jiu back.

In fact, Shen Youqing didn't want to be too cordial, mainly because of their identity, even if they followed her, they didn't really want her, so why should she care about friendship.

"Miss, when are we going to leave for the capital?"

Shen Youqing looked at her, smiling rather than smiling, "Don't call Fourth Miss anymore?" ”

Yuxi's breath was suffocated, but she didn't react to her own disrespectful words just now, but subconsciously bowed down: "The slave maid is the maid of the young lady, and you are naturally the eldest lady of the slave maid." ”

Chu Jiu was on the side, and he didn't speak, but when he saw that his sister was arrogant and provoked Miss, he couldn't help but worry, so he pleaded for her: "Yuxi is too upright to speak, please don't care about Miss." ”

I don't care, how could she care.

"It's a good thing to be upright, with such an upright jade by my side, it's too late for me to be happy." Shen Youqing pulled out a smile, bright and clean.

Yuxi stood behind her brother and patted her heart secretly, accompanying you like a tiger, this is not a beauty with Miss Shen Si......

"You want me to go back to the Shen family?"

Shen Youqing poured herself a glass of water and drank it slowly.

Chu Jiu said: "The old lady has a big birthday, and I also invite the fourth lady to go home, and the old lady is very concerned about the fourth lady." ”

Miss? If you're really worried, why wait until she's sixteen to let her go back......

"Don't pass on the news that I'm here, I'll go when I'm done with my business." Shen Youqing finished slandering, and said what he meant lightly, not allowing a trace of doubt, Yuxi looked over, and suddenly found that there seemed to be a little smile in those bright eyes.

Shen Youqing remembered his important matter, so he was about to go out, and the ninth day of the first year followed, Shen Youqing was a little unhappy, but he didn't have a seizure.

The broken temple is in Nanshan, and you need to take a long detour.

In order to stay away from that tail, she traveled very quickly, and arrived at Nanshan in less than half an hour.

"Fourth Miss, where are we going?"

"Nanshan." Shen Youqing replied succinctly, she was avoiding a chance to speak.

Chu Jiu no longer asked, his brother and sister had grown up with her since childhood, and they thought they knew her character, if she didn't take the initiative to speak, he would never hear the truth.

Shen Youqing did see the ruined temple, but the ruined temple was empty, and there was not even a trace of anyone living in it, it was full of dust and cobwebs, and even weeds stubbornly drilled out of the cracks in the stones, swaggering with the cold wind.

"Is there anyone living here?"

When Chu Jiu saw this dirty scene, he frowned, unconsciously covered his nose, and asked more.

Shen Youqing didn't answer, and walked in, although Chu Jiu was surprised, he immediately followed her pace, "What is Miss looking for?" ”

"My master."

"Master? When did the young lady worship the Master? ”

Shen Youqing glanced at him and didn't answer his question, but asked, "How does Madam treat you?" ”

"Madame treats us like a mountain." Chu Jiu answered truthfully, respectfully as if the master was by his side.

Shen Youqing smiled, kindness is like a mountain, very good, very good......

Walking out of the broken temple, Chu Jiu handed over a handkerchief, Shen Youqing glanced at him with some disgust, he carried a handkerchief with him like a girl since he was a child, and he still did this when he grew up, I really don't know if it was a problem or a good habit.

Despite the slander in her heart, she still took the handkerchief, wiped her hands, and when she returned the handkerchief, she said with a straight face: "Chu Jiu, how does Madame treat me?" ”

"Fourth Miss ......"

Chu Jiu didn't know what to say, when he and Yuxi were eleven years old, he followed his wife back to Pei's house, he had witnessed his wife's cold and indifferent to the fourth miss, and later received an order to follow the fourth miss, not to protect her and take care of her, but to send her news back to the capital from time to time.

He didn't dare to say good about such treatment.

Seeing that he was silent, Shen Youqing knew in his heart, and showed a smile: "Don't be embarrassed, go back." ”

Along the way, she didn't speak again until she returned to the shop.

Shen Youqing sat in front of the desk, re-lit the incense, poured himself a cup of tea and drank it slowly, and lost those complicated thoughts for the time being.

"Miss!"

Yuxi rushed in front of her, and her tone was not good.

Shen Youqing raised her eyes and continued to drink tea, but Yuxi put a hairpin in front of her, no, it should have been thrown in front of her eyes, she sneered, her maid actually dared to throw something at her......

"What is this?" Yuxi seemed to be angry, and her cheeks were flushed.

However, this anger seems to have no reason or qualification to be spread in front of her Shen Youqing.

Shen Youqing looked into her eyes, there was just pure anger in it, there was no concealment, in the face of such a little person whose mother was in front of her, Shen Youqing didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

"How can a young lady hide a man in the boudoir? Have you ignored the reputation of the Shen family? Yuxi's accusation of irregularity fell into Shen Youqing's ears, which was extremely ironic, and her hands clenched under the table unconsciously, forcing herself to focus on Yuxi's body.

"I don't care about the reputation of the Shen family, do I need you to interfere?"

Shen Youqing's face was expressionless, but her eyes were full of warnings, and her patience was limited.
