Chapter 71 People go to high places

Xia He picked up Aunt Li's lost pearl hairpin and came over to return it. Don't look at her as just a little girl, but she is arrogant and always wants to fly on the branches to be the master. She only thinks about this one thing every day, and always wants to find an opportunity to get close to Brother Yu, but Brother Yu seems to be a piece of wood, and she doesn't understand the charm at all. Youyi moved to the East Cross Courtyard with her henchmen and threw her in the Winter Garden, and she became more and more difficult to settle down day and night. Could it be that he has been guarding this gloomy yard all the time, and when he is old, he will be released and let out with a little girl? She was really a little unwilling, feeling that she was wasting her beauty and scheming.

The emperor lived up to his painstaking efforts, early this morning, the girl from Qunfang Pavilion went to the Winter Garden, saying that Aunt Li lost the pearl hairpin here last night, and if any of them picked it up, they would send it over. The others listened to it and were okay, but she was particularly attentive and chased out to ask in detail.

When she heard that there seemed to be wild cats and strange bird calls last night, she couldn't help but feel moved. Since you moved away with a few people, the rest of the people have been on duty in shifts, and the main house and backyard have been idle, and it is inevitable that there will be wild cats, wild dogs and the like. There is also a bird's nest with two bowls of mouth hanging under the eaves of the backyard, and no one has to clean it up. Especially recently, there have been rumors of hauntings, and I don't dare to go to the backyard during the day. The people on duty at night also pushed back and forth, and several people lay together and couldn't sleep out of the house after dark.

She first searched carefully where Aunt Leigh passed, under the cracks in the walls, under the grass, and the rocks, and then went to the backyard, and finally carried the ladder and found it in the bird's nest, which must have been brought back by the early birds.

The hairpin was pure gold, with a petal-shaped front and a ruby in the middle, and a tassel hanging down from the tail, and a broken stone on the tassel. The sun shines brightly!

Aunt Li was not a serious master of the Jin Mansion, and now Xia He has no serious master to take care of her. If she had secretly left the pearl hairpin, and removed the jewels from it, and smashed the gold, it would have been possible to separate it little by little and toss it out for silver. But she actually sent it over, and this alone made Aunt Li feel a little more favorable.

Are you on an errand in Winter Garden? Aunt Leigh asked, looking up and down.

Well. Xia He nodded back, the slave maid is the son of the house in the house, and the parents are watching the old house in the south. My brother and sister-in-law were on an errand in the third room, and the slave and maid were alone here.

is still a child, Aunt Li laughed when she heard it. Although she lives very freely in the Golden Mansion, after all, she is not in her own home, so she still needs to have more eyes and ears. She knew that the second and third rooms would soon come to the capital, and if she couldn't do it for a while, she would have to live under the same roof. When there are more people, there will be more rights and wrongs, and she needs a family child like Xia He by her side, especially her old son and sister-in-law are in the south.

Aunt Li was talking to Xia He, and this kung fu brother Yu came in. He didn't look at Xia He much, just regarded it as an ordinary girl beside his mother. His mind is on books, and in his opinion, the girls all look similar, and it is not worth the effort to take a closer look.

Xia He caught a glimpse of him coming in, and lowered her head in a proper manner, and Aunt Li became more and more satisfied when she saw this. Brother Yu came over to say goodbye, and then went back to the room to study.

Aunt Li watched her son smile more and more lovingly, and hurriedly instructed the girl next to her to make a cup of ginseng tea.

Xia He heard it and hurriedly said: Young Master Cousin stays up late every day to study, so he should make up for his body. But the young master sits still for a few hours, and it is easy to accumulate food, and ginseng is a big tonic and hot thing, and if you use it too much, you will be impatient and impatient, and it is not suitable for reading.

Oops, how did I not think of this? The Feng family sent someone to send some ginseng over, and Aunt Li only thought that there were all good things for her son to eat, and she reminded her that she had waited beside the girl, and she thought that things were meticulous. After saying that, I told the girl to make ginseng tea for Brother Yu after breakfast.

You stay in the Winter Garden, do you hear or see anything? Aunt Leigh thought of what happened last night, and she still had some palpitations.

Xia He was clever and guessed that she was a little frightened, and replied with a smile: After all, there were dead people in the backyard, so the old lady was in a hurry to let the fourth girl move out. With fewer people living and more empty houses, it is natural that there will be wild cats and dogs. If we see it during the day, we will beat it and run away. But they slipped back at night and scurried around. There was also a nest under the eaves of the backyard, because there were a few new birds in it, so we didn't even poke it. But the bird's call was very strange, especially at night, it sounded a little creepy, like crying and laughing.

I see, Aunt Li felt much more down-to-earth when she heard this, and she felt that the whole person was relaxed. Wan Rou has been locked in the room for reflection, as if she is a non-verbal person, Aunt Li feels quite comfortable after chatting with her.

You stayed in the Winter Garden to watch the yard is wronged. Aunt Li did have some thoughts, so she got it to see it first, and if it was good, she would give it to Brother Yu.

Not aggrieved. The slave is clumsy and does not please the girl. If it is in front of the girl, I am afraid it will make the girl angry. It's better to watch from the yard, it's all work anyway!

Since you're working everywhere, do you want to change places? Aunt Li asked with a smile.

It's all at the command of my wife. She replied smartly. All the girls in the inner house are deployed by the Feng family, if Aunt Li really wants her, she just needs to talk to the Feng family.

Aunt Leigh nodded, and ordered someone to grab some snacks and candies for her to wrap back to eat. Seeing this, Xia He hurriedly thanked and retired, and walked out of Qunfang Pavilion with snacks and candies, and couldn't help but smile. It seems that Aunt Leigh has a very good impression of herself, and her words reveal the idea of wanting her to wait in the past.

The rest of the time is a wait, and try to be low-key, and low-key. It seems that Youyi didn't take her away at the beginning, but it was a good thing.

At this moment, Youyi is writing big characters, and since her body has improved, she has started to practice calligraphy every day again. The old lady praised her for her writing, and said that seeing words is like seeing people, and writing is the most grinding thing.

Dongxue saw her put down the pen, so she stepped forward and replied softly, talking about Xia He.

She's smart, but it's a pity...... Youyi wiped her hands and said, I originally thought of calling her over for a while, and it seemed that there was no need to bother.

Xia He is a child of the family, and it is naturally good if he can use it for himself. But she was impetuous and blindly wanted to climb the high branches, Youyi deliberately wanted to observe and test her for a while, and the slave and maid who could endure it were a great task. It seems that Xia He did not stand up to the test.

Forget it, there is no need to reply to Xia He's matter in the future, let her be. Youyi softly ordered to go down, and Dongxue nodded and went down.

Youyi looked at the time, got up and went inside. The old lady was about to sleep, and Mama Lu just wanted to spread the futon.

Let me do it anyway. Youyi smiled and walked over, and moved quickly. Since she moved here to live, she has to personally serve the old lady every day, and it is useless for the old lady to talk to Mama Lu a few times, and I saw that she worked quickly, and there were girls and mothers-in-law to help her with heavy work such as fetching water and washing, so she went.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled and said: The four girls are laid flat, I lie comfortably, and I sleep sweetly.

The old slave made the old lady's bed for half his life and didn't get such appreciation, which really made the old slave sad. Mama Lu was happy to see the old lady, and she was also playing on the side.

Mama Lu, don't be sad. Youyi listened and hurriedly said, you and the old lady have been in love for many years, and they have long been in touch. If you feel distressed, the old lady must also be uncomfortable, which is great.

The four girls looked at the honest and stupid, and only after getting along did they know that her mouth was the most clever. The words that make people happy are very common, but they make people feel comfortable listening to them. Before, Mama Lu felt that Yunyi was the most clever among the four sisters, but there was always something in her words that was bitter and sour, which made people not like it. The eldest girl speaks with a straight look, and she can't make mistakes, but it's a pity that she is too serious to be pity. The second girl embroidered the word "awl" and didn't make a sound, but she knew in her heart that she couldn't hate it, but she couldn't talk about liking it. It's these four girls, who are cute and cute, honest with a hint of naughtiness, and speak childishly without retreating, revealing a sense of wit, no wonder the old lady is happy.

The old lady took a sip of tea and said with a smile: And the most rare thing is that this girl is not clever with her mouth, her filial piety is in her heart. She's only been here for a few days, and I'm a little inseparable from her. I can't get off the chopsticks without her when I eat, and I feel like I'm missing something if I don't see anyone before I go to bed.

This is easy to do! I've been by the old lady's side all my life, and the old lady really cares for me anyway. Youyi threw herself into the old lady's arms and rubbed it, but she was ashamed of her behavior in her heart. It's been almost 70 years of being a human being and a ghost, and he still behaves like this.

Silly girl. The old lady gave birth to three sons, although she had a daughter, she was not her own, and it was impossible for a daughter-in-law to be spoiled under her knees like a daughter. Now Youyi is acting like this, which reminds her of motherhood in her heart.

She felt that Youyi's girl was really pitiful, and she couldn't be treated by her mother, so she was first sent to the Grange and almost died there, and then she was poisoned and almost became a sick seedling. Such a little villain, although he was born in a rich family, did not live a stable life for a few days. I'm eight years old, but I look like a five or six-year-old child. The body is not high, and the small arms are bones except for the skin, and the thinness makes people feel distressed. In the past few days, the old lady saw that she was quite able to eat, and her little face was bulging a lot, which showed that her nutrition could not keep up before.

Now I hear her say that the old lady really cares for me, and it is not difficult to hear the deep meaning. She said this unintentionally, and she didn't mean to complain, but the old lady understood that the Feng family looked loving and generous, but she was mean to her children.
