In the winter in the backyard of the Zhengyan Pavilion, several hundred-year-old apricot trees are violently pricked, the branches are bare, accompanied by purple flowers in one place, Xiao Suo and Prosperous complement each other, and the style is stunning.

Reflected in the eyes of Xu Youshan and Yuedai in the green jade pavilion among the thousands of flowers, it is even more magnificent.

And Xu Youshan stood in the pavilion for a long time.

The face was joyless and angry, and even the helplessness that Yue Dai could capture at the beginning was no longer visible.

Xu Youshan stood in the darker and darker skylight, blurring her figure more and more.

"Yuedai, you're eleven years old, aren't you?"

Yue Dai has been standing behind Xu Youshan and accompanying her. From the dawn of the day to the dimness, Yuedai stood there quietly, so that Xu Youshan could see and know the location.

"Miss Hui, yes, the slave is eleven years old this year."

Among the people who are on an errand in the Zhengyan Pavilion now, Yue Dai is the youngest, but even Yue Dai is one year older than Xu Youshan.

"And do you remember what your parents looked like?"

"I don't remember." Yue Dai paused for a long time and replied softly.

"It looks the same." Xu Youshan turned to look at Yue Dai, who was looking at her in surprise, "I don't remember what my parents looked like." ”

I really don't remember, whoever it is - no matter when...... Xu Youshan can't even remember.

Because they are always the same, they left her early, either voluntarily or helplessly.

But in the end, she has always been able to rely on only herself, even if her brain has never been smart, but in the struggle of life and death, she should understand, she understands "So, Yuedai, I have always felt that if you want to live well, you have always relied on yourself." ”

Fight for yourself, earn for yourself, win everything you want.

Therefore, she will not fall like this, if she does, she will also fall into the golden nest and silver nest; If she wants to fall, she must also fall in stability and wealth.

Never, in such a thorny path.

"Yuedai, let's go back, I'm so hungry, what do you want to eat today, say. Whatever you want. We are all about eating and drinking well today. ”

The sun had completely set on the other side of the mountain line, and the glow of the burning sky covered the girl's body, and Yue Dai looked at this back in a daze, and remembered it in her heart......

Zheng Yan Pavilion

The warm pavilion is now empty, and Wu Lin has already gone to the side courtyard to find Uncle Wu in a daze.

Xu Youshan saw Chu Dai as soon as she entered the house.

"Chu Dai, why did it take you so long to come back?"

Chu Dai's trip to Taixi Garden has been there for most of the hour!

"Miss, when I went to find the Ju steward and asked him to send someone to pick up your nurse brother in the Zhuangzi, the Ju steward agreed in one bite. After the slave and maid also went to the Zheng Yan Pavilion to turn around, but when passing through Shen Yu Zhai, but saw the servants in the courtyard in and out, their faces were very anxious, the slave and the maid looked wrong, and wanted to come back and talk to you, but when they went around the corner, they caught a glimpse of Sister Liuwu, and Sister Liuwu also saw the slave and maid, she actually ran over and caught the slave and the maid in the corner, and asked the slave and the maid to do a favor. Chu Dai, who ran back, said breathlessly.

Shen Palmetto Zhai is the closest courtyard to Taixi Garden, and on the way from Zhengyan Pavilion to Taixi Garden, you do have to pass through Shen Palmetto Zhai.

"What do you want you to help with?" Xu Youshan asked in a deep voice.

"Sister Liu Wu asked the slave maid to go to Weizhou Courtyard to inform the eldest lady, and asked the eldest lady to go to Qinhuatang to invite the old lady to come to Shen Yu Zhai." Chu Dai said.

Xu Youshan stood up suddenly, and Chu Dai and Yue Dai were stunned.

"And then?"

Chu Dai hurriedly said: "Later, the slave maid felt that the matter was serious, and Sister Liu Fu also pleaded not to delay, so the slave maid went to Weizhou Courtyard to find the eldest lady on her own initiative, and was dragged by the eldest lady to Qinhua Hall. Please forgive the second lady. ”

"Nope." Xu Youshan frowned, "Chu Dai, you did a good job this time." ”

What really happened in Shen Zhai? The eldest aunt was trapped inside, and she couldn't even get out of the catkins, and she was forced to hide in the corner of the wall and met Chu Dai, who happened to pass by, and pleaded like a life-saving straw?

Just after the light in Xu Youshan's eyes changed again and again, the little maid outside shouted, "Mother Liu is back." ”

"yes, it's back. I went to the kitchen and urged them to make the bird's nest winter bamboo shoots steamed brew that Miss wanted to eat today, but somehow, it was very slow today, and it was only now done. Liu's mother replied with a smile.

Xu Youshan gave Chu Dai a look, and Chu Dai immediately opened the curtain and went out, and after a while, Liu's mother walked in with a bad face.

"What's wrong?" Xu Youshan's voice was cool.

Mother Liu first looked at Yuedai on the side, and then she worded and replied: "Miss Hui, according to your instructions, the old slave first went to the big kitchen and said that you suddenly wanted to eat bird's nest and winter bamboo shoots steamed and brewed today, and the kitchen girls were troubled to change this dish." They agreed immediately at first, but then suddenly a little maid came in to deliver food, and after recruiting a few familiar cooks, they gathered around and whispered......"

After Liu's mother came out of the Zhengyan Pavilion, she walked to the big kitchen first, because Xu Youshan had told her to be cautious first, and Liu's mother wanted to go to the big kitchen first to find a reason.

But after arriving at the big kitchen, not long after, a maid who delivered food to the green silk courtyard came back, and mysteriously summoned a few familiar people to gather and talk.

"Guess what I heard in the Green Silk Courtyard?"

"Don't sell it, say it quickly."

"Aunt Gu, she is not in the Green Silk Courtyard, I heard the other maids chewing the root of their tongues there, saying that Aunt Gu went to Shen Yu Zhai."

"This is news, Shen Yuzhai usually can't go if he can't be summoned, is it possible that the eldest lady will go back?"

"I don't know about this, anyway, it's been a day of trouble today, isn't there still a few foremen blocking there at the second gate."

"That's right, I heard from a few mothers-in-law who came back from the front yard that those foremen were recruited by the lord and said that they wanted to build a house in the inner courtyard, but the eldest lady gave a death order at noon and did not allow those people to come in.

"According to what you say, Aunt Gu has gone to Shen Yu Zhai now, could it be that these people were recruited by the master to build a house for the Green Silk Courtyard?"

So what else will need to be built in the Green Silk Courtyard? Aunt Gu is just six months old

"This Aunt Gu is really favored."

"Not really."

Xu Xi wants to build a small kitchen for Aunt Gu, that is when Liu's mother accompanied Xu Youshan to the early autumn pavilion in the morning, she vaguely heard a rough idea from the dispute between the two people in the room, but now listen to the meaning of these people, Xu Xi recruited all the people at noon? That's too fast, isn't it?

And it's been a stalemate for an afternoon, why haven't they received any news from Zheng Yan Pavilion?

- It's too bad.
