Chapter 88: Unraveling Huang Qiong

Early the next morning, Shen Yuxiao came out of Songhe Courtyard and went directly to Huang's house.

Old Madam Huang got Su's reply yesterday, and sent her personal maid Tieling Tiezhu to guard the door early in the morning, watching the Shen family's carriage coming, and hurriedly stepped forward to welcome Shen Yuxiao out.

"Miss Shen San, the old lady has been waiting in the flower hall for a long time, but I look forward to your coming." Tie Zhu said as he led Shen Yuxiao inside.

Shen Yuxiao just nodded and smiled, and didn't say much.

The Huang family is different from the Shen family in Kyoto, the Huang family is an official from the ancestors, and it was a general in the previous dynasty, so it is naturally deep-rooted, and the house is larger than the courtyard of the Shen family. It's just that the Huang family is thin, and the big house seems a little cold. General Huang has been guarding the border gates, and most of this house is kept by some family members to take care of it, and as soon as he comes in, he feels that he lacks some human flavor.

The flower hall of the Huang family is behind the hanging flower gate where the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard meet, and the site is naturally very large.

When Shen Yuxiao entered, Mrs. Huang was sitting in the flower hall drinking tea, and Mrs. Su was sitting aside. Seeing Shen Yuxiao coming, Mrs. Su immediately smiled and beckoned: "Xiao'er, I haven't seen you for so many days, but she is getting more and more beautiful." ”

Mrs. Su has always wanted Shen Yuxiao to be her daughter-in-law, so the more this aunt looks at her niece, the happier she becomes. is such a two-life person as Shen Yuxiao, and when Mrs. Su said this, she was still a little shy: "Xiao'er has seen her aunt and grandmother, and she has seen her aunt." ”

Old Madam Huang looked at Shen Yuxiao and was generous, and her demeanor revealed everyone's demeanor, so she naturally liked it very much. Thinking of Huang Qiong's appearance now, he really didn't have the heart to say more to her, so he spoke directly: "Qiong'er is in her room, Xiao'er go and see her." ”

Hearing this, Shen Yuxiao nodded: "Well, I haven't seen my cousin for a few days." Na Xiao'er retired first, and then came to talk to her aunt and grandmother after seeing her cousin. After saying that, Fu Shen followed Tiezhu towards the backyard.

On the way, Tiezhu looked at no one around, and told Shen Yuxiao about the day of the coup. This is actually instructed by Mrs. Huang, if Shen Yuxiao doesn't know anything, how can she persuade Huang Qiong.

"The maid who blocked the knife for Miss that day is called Bao. I have been with Miss for seven years. Although Miss Beijiang hadn't seen those sacrificed soldiers before, it was just that this time she was put on the neck with a knife and killed her most intimate maid, which was really scary. So please also ask Miss Shen San to admonish our young lady. She hadn't spoken in days. Tie Zhu said and gave Shen Yuxiao a big salute.

Shui Hua hurriedly blocked Tie Zhu knowingly: "Sister Tie Zhu, what are you talking about, our young lady and Miss Huang are cousins, so naturally you don't need to be like this when this kind of thing happens." Miss will definitely say it, then it depends on whether your young lady can listen to it. ”

Tie Zhu's face changed suddenly, and he stood up immediately. With a somewhat ugly face, he said: "It's the slave and maid who are abrupt, and Miss Shen San is going with the slave and maid." ”

What Tiezhu did just now was to put pressure on Shen Yuxiao and make Shen Yuxiao sure to persuade Huang Qiong. Originally, when she heard Su's words, Shen Yuxiao was going to come over to persuade Huang Qiong, but Tie Zhu's actions really made her unhappy, if it weren't for Huang Qiong's sake, she could have turned around and went back to her house directly.

Tie Zhu knew that his thoughts were directly seen through, so he didn't say much along the way, and took Shen Yuxiao all the way to the Qiongyu Pavilion where Huang Qiong lived.

Huang Qiong was sitting alone on the stone bench outside in a daze. The maids who were waiting stood beside each other with a look at each other, and no one spoke. It's not that they don't dare to talk to their young lady, but during this time, no matter what they say, Huang Qiong just didn't react at all.

Seeing Tie Zhu coming over with someone, only Ah Nuan, the maid who went to the Su family with Huang Qiong, recognized her, and saluted at the moment: "I've seen Miss Shen San." ”

Immediately, the maids in the courtyard also saluted. When Huang Qiong heard Ah Nuan's words, she turned her head and saw Shen Yuxiao, and her eyes were red at the moment.

Seeing this, what else does Ah Nuan not understand, Miss has something to say to Miss Cousin. then pulled Shui Hua to eat tea. Tie Zhu looked at Huang Qiong's reaction, and was also happy at the moment, and wanted to report to Mrs. Huang.

But after a while, there was no one else in the courtyard. Shen Yuxiao walked to the stone bench beside Huang Qiong and sat down. looked at Huang Qiong.

Huang Qiong is a lively and active girl, and she is full of vitality and liking from a distance. Now that I look a little haggard, Shen Yuxiao is also a little distressed when I see this: "Yesterday, my aunt and grandmother asked me to give me a post, and I thought my cousin invited me to come over to play." But I didn't think that it was my aunt and grandmother who came to me to talk, when they were separated at the Su family that day. My cousin said that she was going to give me a post, so I didn't have to go out. As a result, I went on for several days, and my eldest sister and fourth sister invited me to go out to play, but I couldn't bear it. In the end, it was my aunt's post, and I came with a shy face just to ask my cousin, but I forgot that I had promised me. ”

didn't think that Shen Yuxiao would say this, Huang Qiong suddenly became anxious: "I haven't forgotten, I asked my grandmother to post as soon as I came back, but my grandmother said that there have been a lot of things in the Shen family recently, and she said that you can't come out." I'll invite you over in a few days. ”

"Then it's all fine now, why haven't you invited me yet?" Shen Yuxiao asked.

Hearing this, Huang Qiong paused, then grabbed Shen Yuxiao's hand, lay on the stone table and sobbed. Her shoulders kept shaking, and it was clear that she had been holding back these tears for a long time.

Shen Yuxiao said this in order to lead Huang Qiong to speak, if she didn't open her mouth to herself, how could she persuade her. Seeing this, Shen Yuxiao patted her back and leaned against her ear and said softly: "Cousin, just cry if you want to, anyway, only I have to be seen by others." ”

After a sentence, Huang Qiong seemed to be unable to hold back any longer, and threw herself on Shen Yuxiao's body and cried. Tears wet Shen Yuxiao's clothes. Shen Yuxiao didn't care about this, Huang Qiong must have pretended to have a lot of things in her heart, so she would be so wronged. This cry comes out, and it's fine.

After crying for a long time, Huang Qiong also lost her strength before she stopped. Shen Yuxiao brushed away the tear-stained hair on her face, pointed to her clothes and said, "Cousin, it's okay to cry, but Xiao'er's clothes can't be worn, and my cousin hasn't found a new one to change into Xiao'er." And after sitting for so long, let alone snacks, even a cup of tea that I didn't eat, Xiao'er came over early in the morning, and now she is almost hungry with her chest against her back. ”

Huang Qiong found that half of Shen Yuxiao's clothes had already been stained by her own tears, and she said a little shyly: "I'll give you all the new clothes that my grandmother made the day before yesterday." After speaking, he took Shen Yuxiao's hand and walked towards the house.
