Youyi returned safely to see her grandmother and her injured cousin. In the evening, Mrs. Kim left her by her side for the night.

"Four girls, tell me the truth." The old lady is a shrewd person, so she naturally saw some clues, "Before, some officers and soldiers came to spread the word, saying that the water thieves had been corrected on the spot. But during the day, I clearly heard what Hao Xianfeng personally escorted to Beijing. What the hell is going on? ”

"I knew I couldn't hide anything from the old lady." Youyi leaned over with a smile, with a delicate and cute look.

The old lady stretched out her hand and pinched her face, and said with a deliberate tiger face: "You don't give me sloppy eyes, I haven't reached the deaf Cheng dù yet." ”

"The old lady forgives her sins, it's her granddaughter who lied. Just because I am afraid that the old lady will worry, I will not be able to stand it if I hurt my body too much. Youyi tried to make things as simple and light as possible, but she still shocked the old lady into a cold sweat.

"Born calves are not afraid of tigers! You have dealt with that water thief three times and twice, how can you not know that he has a cruel temperament and threatens to die in the blink of an eye? It seems that I am too indulgent to you on weekdays, so that you are too dependent on everything. In such a life-and-death matter, you dare to call the shots. You and my grandparents come to Huizhou to visit relatives, if you are often injured, you have another accident, how can I, an old woman, have the face to go back alone? You're trying to kill me! ”

The old lady's words were very serious, Youyi hurriedly knelt down, and then looked up with tears in her eyes, "The old lady's words killed her granddaughter!" It's the granddaughter who didn't think about it, and asked the old lady not to be angry, this way on the road was tiring, please let the granddaughter wait by her side, and when she returned to the capital, the granddaughter was willing to be punished! ”

"Fourth girl, old lady, this is also a deep responsibility of love." Mama Lu on the side glanced at the old lady and stepped forward to help her, "Do you know that the old lady didn't even close her eyes this night, and when she heard that the girl was okay but didn't see anyone, her heart was still unsteady." I only drank two mouthfuls of porridge this morning, and when I saw the girl return safely, I was considered to have eaten half a bowl of rice. ”

"My granddaughter knows it's wrong!" Youyi has lived two lifetimes, and for the first time, she feels the taste of being surrounded by family affection. It turns out that there are relatives who are worried about it, and there are relatives who love such warmth and happiness! She never believed that tears could change anything, but at this moment, tears poured out like a flood that burst the embankment.

"Good boy, don't cry, it breaks my heart." When the old lady saw her crying, she couldn't help but feel distressed, and held her in her arms and shouted obediently.

She saw Youyi crying fiercely, and turned her head to scold Mama Lu, "It's all you, an old woman, what nonsense to make the four girls sad." ”

"Yes, it's all the old slave's fault! One of your ancestors and grandchildren is a loving elder, and the other is a filial junior, but I, a peacemaker, am not a human being inside and out. The old slave has a memory, and next time the old lady beats the fourth girl, the old slave will not be stopped. I'm afraid that I will only be afraid of hitting the fourth girl, and it will hurt in the old lady's heart, and when the time comes, I will scold the slave and maid for being stupid and unable to figure out what the master thinks, and I don't know how to stop it. Alas, it's so hard to be a slave! ”

"Poof~" The old lady and Youyi couldn't help but laugh when they saw Mama Lu's serious appearance.

"Okay, okay, just laugh." Mama Lu also laughed, "The fourth girl just cried and couldn't sleep immediately, so it's good to sit down for a while." ”

The old lady nodded when she heard this, she had a deep relationship with Mama Lu's master and servant, and if other slaves and maids were to be so presumptuous, they would not dare to be so presumptuous.

"Four girls, why do you dare to stay as bait to lure the water thief to take the bait? Aren't you afraid that they won't be able to protect themselves and get hurt as a result? The old lady felt that her gentle-looking granddaughter seemed to be quite bold and had a big idea, I don't know if it was influenced by Wei Ru.

"The old lady doesn't know, that Hao Xianfeng is very good at martial arts, and I heard that taking the head of the bandit class in the chaotic army is like entering a no-man's land! Moreover, on that day by the river, the water thieves found that their granddaughter wanted to kill them. Unexpectedly, Hao Xianfeng had the ability to penetrate Yang in a thousand steps, and injured the water thief with one arrow, making him flee in a hurry. He wanted to send his granddaughter away, but she felt that the others might not be the opponents of the cunning water thief. If he took advantage of the chaos to jump into the river and abscond, and intercepted and killed him halfway, his granddaughter's life would not be guaranteed. In the case that the water thieves have not been caught, it is safest to stay by Hao Xianxian's side. Besides, the water thief was determined to kill me, and only I was there for him to put his life at risk. Do our best to catch the water thieves, so that we can go on the road with peace of mind. ”

The old lady nodded again and again, "Although the words are reasonable, they are too risky." The descendants of our Jin family are all hard bones, and it is a good thing not to be afraid of death, but we must die as we deserve. It's not worth your life for a filthy water thief! I have already told Hao Xianxian, so that he doesn't have to publicize this matter, just say that he caught the water thief on the river, and Chang Cun went to help and was injured. ”

"The old lady has walked more bridges than her granddaughter has walked, and it is up to the old lady to make her wish." That's exactly what Youyi meant, but the two of them focused on different things.

The old lady saw Youyi's obedient and well-behaved appearance, and her heart softened, "You are still a half-old child, and you don't know that people are sinister." If this matter spreads, although it will be beautiful now, it will be a hidden danger after all. In the future, when you get married, if someone with a heart wants to pour dirty water on you, they may start with this matter. A girl's house, alone on the island with a water thief, and a night with a group of big men, no matter how you say it, it's ugly! Maybe you can't understand it now, but you will naturally understand my painstaking efforts in the future. ”

"The granddaughter only does what the old lady tells her, and there is only benefit and no harm in keeping it!" Youyi smiled innocently.

The grandfather and grandson talked and laughed for a while, and then they laid out the futon and went to sleep.

Chang Cun's injuries were not serious, and Mrs. He sent someone to ask them to go back and stay for a while, but Mrs. Jin politely refused. Sooner or later, they will have to separate, why procrastinate, but make the wound of parting more and more serious.

They had only rested on the shore for a day, and then they set out in full gear. This time, the waterway was very smooth, and there were no other twists and turns along the way. After traveling for half a month, they changed to a carriage and bumped for more than ten days before they arrived outside the capital.

When I left, the cold wind was bleak, and I arrived

When I left, the cold wind was bleak, and there was a desolate scene everywhere, but now everything is recovering, and the flowers are red and willow green, full of life. Youyi saw familiar things, and she felt a sense of intimacy when she boarded. The eldest lady had already sent someone to greet them outside the city, and here she stepped forward to greet them, and there was a little pegasus back to say goodbye.

The person who came was Zhang Sheng's family, and his man was in charge of the rent of the Grange in spring and autumn, and he usually went out with the master without anything. She was in charge of the wives and ladies going out, and often walked outside.

Zhang Shengjia had a sweet mouth and was easy to speak, and he sat outside the old lady's car and kept talking all the way. She picked out some lively and interesting things and said that they made the old lady feel good.

"A few days ago, there were water thieves escorted into the capital, I don't know what to do?" Youyi couldn't help but ask.

"The fourth girl is talking about the water thief who was outwitted by the girl and Miss Wei Ru and escaped, right? On the third day of arriving in the capital, he beheaded the public in the vegetable market, and the people who watched the excitement were the three layers inside and the three layers outside. I heard that the water thief was eight feet tall, his waist was as thick as a leather tank, and his eyes were blood-red, and he couldn't sleep for three days when he looked at it. The two girls actually restrained such a monster, no wonder even the emperor rewarded them. The plaque of "women don't let the eyebrows" hang on our house, and my wife personally wipes it every day. ”

"Sister Wei Ru and I are just playing tricks, and in the end, the water thieves were caught by officers and soldiers." Youyi said tentatively.

"That's the case, but for the first time, it was indeed the credit of the two girls, but it was a pity that those officials were all idle and let him run away. In the end, the soldiers who have been training and fighting outside all the year round are powerful, and they have been escorted all the way into the capital, and nothing has happened. By the way, the slave also heard that it was Hao Shizi who came up this time. No, it's Hao Xianfeng now. Zhang Shengjia's eyebrows fluttered, and his face was full of expressions, which made people listen with relish, "Although he is not the prince of Pingnan Mansion now, this time he escorted the water thieves to the capital, and even the emperor summoned him to commend him." When the slave heard that the emperor allowed him to stay in the capital, he refused. King Pingnan saw that his son had earned face for himself, and he thought of going down to the court to bring back the father and son to reunite. can see that Hao Xianfeng was blindly reckless in front of the emperor, and he didn't know that the donkey went downhill, and left by himself in a fit of anger. At present, Hao Xianfeng is living outside the city with the officers and soldiers, and he heard that he is about to leave for home. ”

"But if there is something going on with the prince and the county lord of the capital city, it is always rumored outside that it is more lively and tortuous than the excerpts of the play. Everyone doesn't want to think about it, the emperor is a man of his word, and the northwest is such a bitter cold place, isn't Hao Gongzi's successive meritorious contributions just to return to the capital as soon as possible? I think there should be a discrepancy in the original situation of the matter, and it will be over after listening to the music, and it should not be taken seriously. The old lady smiled and said.

"It's still the old lady who is well-informed, and the slave maid only thinks this is the reason when she hears the old lady's words." Zhang Shengjia hurriedly flattered, "There was a new thing in the capital yesterday......

It's just a trivial matter, and Youyi is lazy to listen. It's just that she thinks that what Zhang Shengjia said may not be nonsense, with Hao Lianjue's temperament, he dares to refuse the emperor's proposal, let alone take into account his father's mood. If he really cared about the position of the prince, he would not have done anything with the prince for a few words that day, and beat the second prince very lightly. It's just that he let himself be reduced to the bitter cold land of the northwest border, what is it for? Youyi felt that the mystery on Hao Lianjue's body was getting older and older, and he was a strange guy who was confused.

The carriage soon arrived at the side gate of the Jin Mansion, and the housekeeper greeted him at the door, and when he arrived at the second gate, he saw the eldest lady with Aunt Li and all the brothers and sisters waiting there. When they saw the old lady, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Youyi saluted the eldest lady and others.

"It's all a family that doesn't have so much etiquette, let's go in and sit down and talk." The old lady gave an order, and everyone surrounded her and walked inside.

After entering the house and sitting down, the eldest lady personally served tea and came up, "The daughter-in-law heard that the old lady had a thrilling trip this time, and she was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body." Burn incense and pray in the small Buddha hall every day, hoping that the Buddha will bless you a lot. One is the manifestation of the Buddha, and the other is that the old lady is a blessed person, and now she is returning safely, and her daughter-in-law is going to kowtow to the small Buddha hall. Originally, the old man wanted to go outside the city to pick up the old lady in person, but the yamen suddenly had an urgent matter and had to rush over. Before leaving, the old man will definitely rush back and let the old lady rest first. ”

"It's really blessed by the Buddha." The old lady has always believed in Buddhism, and Wang's words are very flattering. She took the tea in Wang's hand, took a sip and felt that the temperature was just right, and the taste was also what she liked, and her eyes were a little more satisfied.

"Although Huizhou is good, although the eldest sister is like a mother, she is comfortable in her own home." The old lady nodded, "You take good care of the house, I just came in and saw that the courtyard was clean, and the people were not messed up at all, and they all looked very good." Seeing that you are so capable, I will rest assured that I will hand over all the family to you in the future. ”

Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then he said with a smile: "The old lady is not at home, I don't have a backbone, I'm afraid that something will go wrong." Now that the old lady is back, she still has to ask the old lady to take ideas on everything, and her daughter-in-law is also idle. ”

"Listen, she, who is a daughter-in-law, wants to be idle, but she arouses me, a mother-in-law." The old lady pointed at Wang and quipped, and everyone laughed.

This is the first time that the old lady has spoken to Wang like this, and her words are full of intimacy and trust. Seeing this, Youyi lowered her head and drank tea, with a shallow smile on the corner of her mouth. She knew that the second and third rooms of the Jin family would all move to the capital next year at the latest, and the old lady intended to buy the house next to the Jin Mansion, and the three rooms would live together lively. Besides, the three rooms have never been separated, but Master Jin is an official in the capital, so he lives separately, and the economic exchanges are still in the same public middle school. If the three rooms are settled in the capital, they naturally want to live together.

Listening to the meaning of the old lady's words, it seems that she wants the Wang family's housekeeper. Everyone in the room was not stupid, and they all understood the meaning of the old lady's words. The expressions of everyone at a moment can really be said to be very different, and it is wonderful!

The old lady left Wang to talk in the room, and let the others disperse. When Yuyi heard her grandmother's words, she was the first to come to Youyi and looked up and down, "

After a pause, "Fourth sister hurry up and follow me, the sisters have a stomach of questions to ask." It doesn't matter if you are tired from the journey, I have already instructed the girl to prepare thick pillows, sit or lie down, and you can sleep when you are really tired. ”

Hearing this, Youyi had to follow her, and the grandmother had already resigned from the top of the way. It turned out to be like a beauty who got the blue eyes of the queen mother in the re-election, and was named the fourth grade beauty at the slightest mention in front of the emperor. In terms of grade, it is even one level higher than Master Jin. At the moment, it is as if he lives alone in the courtyard in the east, with the eunuchs and grandmothers in the palace waiting, even Aunt Li has nothing to do and cannot meet each other. Just waiting for the auspicious day to arrive, the palace sent someone to take him into the palace.

Youyi was secretly surprised in her heart when she heard this, but she didn't expect that everyone had their own fate. Honest to a little dull as if actually voted for the queen mother's fate, Dayu is the state of etiquette, and the emperor today is the most filial piety, as long as he can hold the queen mother's big tree, although he can't pet the six palaces, he will not fall out of favor.

"The fourth sister went to Huizhou once, and there must be thrilling stories, tell us quickly." The sisters arrived at Yuyi's Spring Garden, and as soon as they sat down, Yunyi couldn't wait to ask.

Youyi was scared when she heard it, "It's really thrilling, but I was so scared that I couldn't possess my body, and I was in a daze at the time, and I couldn't think of the ins and outs of the matter afterwards." Let's talk about something funny, lest I have nightmares at night. ”

"The plaque of the woman who does not let the bearded eyebrows hang in the main hall, and with the protection of the dragon qi of the current saint, the ghost of the water thief does not dare to find the door! The heroic deeds of the fourth sister in Huizhou have spread all over the capital, and now the fourth sister is a role model in the boudoir. Yun Yi wanted to praise, but there was still a hint of imperceptible jealousy between her words.

Youyi's face turned pale with fright when she heard this, and Yuyi, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly said: "The third sister is going to talk nonsense, what should I do if I scare the fourth sister?" We don't care what the outside says, but our sisters are together all day long, don't you know what the fourth sister has the courage of? On this trip to Huizhou, the four sisters were blessed with a great life, with the care of the old lady and the support of nobles next to them, so that they could come back safely. No matter what the truth is, the emperor's plaque is hanging in the mansion, which is the glory of our Jin family! You are not allowed to say such things again, or I will show that my mother will punish you!" ”

After a few months, Yuyi's figure has completely grown, and the demeanor of the eldest sister has become more and more obvious. Looking at her teaching Yunyi, Youyi really found a little bit of what she looked like when she was a wife in Anfu.

Yun Yi was a little uncomfortable when she heard this, "Why does the big sister use his wife to scare people?" Our sisters are not outsiders, so we naturally speak casually. If you go outside, you won't be able to buy me as much money as you want!" ”

"If you know, it's good." Yuyi didn't say much, asked the girl to bring the pillow, and ordered someone to serve snacks and tea.

"These are the four sisters' favorite food, going to Huizhou these days is not as good as at home, and they will not be used to eating and living." She smiled dignified and loving, and looked at Youyi's eyes with a taste of pampering. If it weren't for Youyi, who had known her for two lifetimes, she might have thought that she was a considerate, kind and gentle sister.

Youyi thanked her, took it and ate it, and said while eating: "It's still good at home, or my sister knows that it hurts!" I've been out for a few months, how do I think my sister is beautiful again? ”

"You've just become a big girl." may be because of seasickness, Youyi didn't eat much, and the original bun face became a melon seed face, and the flesh on the face was missing, and the facial features became prominent. She has grown a little taller, and she has a vague girl's figure.

Among several aunts, Aunt Cui, who is Youyi's biological mother, is the most outstanding. Youyi ate too poorly in the Grange for a few years, and she didn't take much care of it, and when she first returned to Jinfu, she was not as good as the big girl in the house. After raising it for a while, it gradually became white and tender, and now it is even more thin and tender, like water tofu just out of the pot, and her facial features are more and more like Aunt Cui. In a few years, I don't know what kind of demeanor I want to have!
