Chapter Eighty-Seven: A Bright Moon
"Hmph, that's amazing." Xu Youshan leaned back to the window, looking at the pomegranate tree outside the window, which was almost taller than the Zhengyan Pavilion, and the tender green leaves that had been exposed at this time stretched in the evening breeze, not knowing what to think.
Xu Youshan didn't speak again for a while, and Wu Lin was silent, but after a long while, Wu Lin looked at the dark night outside the window, and said softly to Xu Youshan: "Miss, it's late at night now, why don't you go to bed." ”
After Wu Lin's mention, Xu Youshan looked up at the night sky with a bright moon, "It's so late, okay, let's go to bed." ”
The spring wind, even at night, has a trace of warmth, especially compared to the winter that has just passed, it is quite warm, and the Zheng Yan Pavilion in this gentle evening breeze, also gradually turned off the lights, silent in this huge night, and extended to the boundless night, seems to be integrated, silent in the dark, until the dawn of the next day, when the sun covers the earth again, everything is alive again.
In the morning of the Zheng Yan Pavilion, it is generally very quiet, although the people in the Zheng Yan Pavilion have just changed a group of blood, but now the Wu Lin family is no longer the same as before, and the training of newcomers is a quota. No, this batch of newcomers who have just been replaced by the Pei family into the Zheng Yan Pavilion, under the training of Wu Lin and Liu's mother, it has only been a few days, and the Zheng Yan Pavilion has been well organized.
And the most rare thing is that they can not commit Xu Youshan's taboo - they must not make any loud noise every morning.
Because every morning of Xu Youshan, she will have a heavy wake-up gas.
"Is Miss awake?"
"Sister Chu Dai. You're not...... Nonsense. ”
"Hey, you stinky girl, why is your mouth getting more and more unforgiving. See if I don't clean you up. ”
"Sister Chu Dai's subordinates are merciful, I don't dare to ...... anymore The gentleman doesn't move his hands! ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not a gentleman, I'm a little girl."
"Wow, help!!" As soon as spring arrived, Xu Youshan moved back to the second floor of the Zhengyan Pavilion, although the first floor was also very good. But for Xu Youshan, who is used to living on the second floor, it is better to live on the second floor of Zhengyan Pavilion. So as soon as the winter passed, Xu Youshan asked the Wu Lin clan to send someone to clean up the second floor. She moved the bedroom back to the second floor. Therefore, now outside the gate of the inner room on the second floor of the Zhengyan Pavilion, when Chu Dai came up to greet Xu Youshan, she and Yue Dai, who kept vigil for Xu Youshan last night, laughed together.
"It's just a little while, how can you two be fighting here. Isn't it that the usual young lady spoils you too much? You dare to be so presumptuous. ”
But just when Chu Dai and Yue Dai were in a mess, a low shout froze them both in place, and then immediately turned around with a solemn face, and sincerely admitted their mistakes to Wu Lin, the owner of the voice: "Mother Wu, we were wrong." After finishing speaking, the two also showed a pitiful expression while having a tacit understanding, in order to sympathize.
"You two." Wu Lin tapped the back of his head. He instructed, "Go down and get the hot water ready, and I'll go in and ask Miss." If the young lady is about to get up, you can bring hot water and towels. ”
"Yes, Mother Wu." Chu Dai and Yue Dai smiled and ran downstairs to prepare, without making a loud sound at all.
And looking at the figures of Chu Dai and Yue Dai leaving together, Wu Lin shook his head with a smile, then turned around and knocked lightly on the door before opening his lips and said, "Miss, are you awake?" ”
"Wake up, Mother Wu, come in."
"Yes, miss." Mother Wu gently pushed open the door, walked into the house, bypassed the large screen of entwined rhombic flowers embroidered with emerald blue bamboo leaves inlaid with dark red agate and black silver, stood in front of the Shu Jinyun mantle, and said to Xu Youshan: "Miss, it's the end of the hour, are you going to get up?" ”
"Let's get up, by the way, Mother Wu, you will personally go to the warehouse in a while to give the tattooed cloud jade I picked out yesterday, and let Uncle Wu give it to Wu Chou, in a few days, isn't it the day he gets married, this is a congratulatory gift I gave him." Xu Youshan remembered Wu Chou, who was hanging all day long, and shouted all day long that he was determined not to start a family before starting a business, and when he accidentally went to the temple fair some time ago to join in the fun, he had a small misunderstanding with the daughter of a cloth dealer Jia's family, although the misunderstanding was immediately clarified, but Wu Chou also didn't know this girl, and they actually looked at each other.
No, Wu Chou actually acted quickly and immediately killed other people's homes, and the dedication was outrageous, and in the end, the parents of the girl naturally couldn't bear Wu Chou's three-inch tongue, and it didn't take long to determine that Wu Chou was indeed on Duanju Street, and when he opened an inn that had developed very well, he didn't think long and agreed to Wu Chou's relationship with his daughter.
But in the final analysis, this matter can be decided so quickly, and the reason why the two elders learned that Wu Chou's parents were on an errand next to the young lady of the Xu family accounted for a fraction of the tenth, it was difficult to say too clearly.
Anyway, now, Wu Chou is holding the beauty, and the smile has not receded from his face all day long, not to mention, and from time to time Wu Chou actually laughed to the sky and roared, making others think he was crazy. And this also made Wu Lin, who had seen that Wu Chou's marriage had been decided, and a big stone fell to the ground in his heart, and now he was embarrassed to mention it in front of Xu Youshan...... It's a shame.
But Wu Lin didn't mention it, but Xu Youshan still remembered it, so recently, Xu Youshan was looking for a congratulatory gift for Wu Chou, it was not good to be too valuable, and it was not good to be light, so finally last night, Xu Youshan finally took a fancy to a pair of tattooed cloud jade, so now Xu Youshan hurriedly told Wu Lin about it, saving himself from forgetting it.
After all, Xu Youshan's wedding date with Xie Jing has also been in the past few days, and she herself has long been too busy to get dizzy.
"Miss, you've been busy enough lately, don't worry about Wu Chou's stinky boy." And when Wu Lin heard that Xu Youshan actually remembered Wu Chou's marriage, he couldn't say that he was not moved.
"Alright. Mother Wu, this is just a gesture and a congratulatory gift. It can also represent my heart for Wu Chou, and you can remember to let Uncle Wu send it after a while. Xu Youshan said with a smile.
"Yes, miss." Wu Lin bowed and replied.
After that, Chu Dai and Yuedai led a group of little maids, carrying hot water and scarves, and Xu Youshan changed into a red and white floral embroidered collared jacket with an apricot yellow satin base, and an embroidered hibiscus cotton silk phoenix dress. He went out and walked towards Weizhou Temple. And when Xu Youshan was about to arrive at Weizhou Courtyard, she saw Xu Yourong who was already waiting for her from a distance.
"Big sister." Xu Youshan called happily.
"Sister Shan." Xu Yourong saw Xu Youshan and immediately laughed. The bright eyes immediately narrowed like a crescent moon, and they were beautiful.
Every morning, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan are together, and because of this. Xu Youshan's every day is almost happy. And today, too, in the middle of Zhengyan Pavilion and Weizhou Courtyard, after Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan met, they went to Yingqiang Courtyard together to ask Pei for peace, and then after looking at Xu Chen's situation, they would go to Qinhua Hall with Pei to say goodbye to Mrs. Qi.
Recently, including Xu Youshan, after the Pei family greeted Mrs. Qi, Mrs. Qi would leave them to have breakfast in Qinhuatang. Although Xu Youshan was a little flattered and uncomfortable at first, she was appeased by Pei Shi and Xu Yourong. Now Xu Youshan has adapted a lot. Just like now, when she sat at the same table with Old Madam Qi for breakfast, Xu Youshan would not be so uncomfortable that she had no appetite at all.
"Grandmother, mother, let's go to Sheng Anxuan."
And after breakfast, Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan of course saluted and retired to Mrs. Qi and Pei's family, and then went to Sheng'an Xuan together, but after Xu Youshan and the two left, Mrs. Qi and Pei's suddenly fell silent.
Later, it was Pei Shi who spoke first: "Mother, Aunt Mo's matter ......"
"You don't care."
But before Pei's words could be finished, he was interrupted by Mrs. Qi, so Pei was speechless for a while, but he still said stubbornly: "Mother, Brother Yu is innocent." ”
"Isn't Brother Chen innocent?" Old Madam Qi looked at Pei Shi with hatred and said: "Yuan Mo is so ruthless, Brother Chen is the only concubine of the big house, she is going to cut off the lifeblood of our big house, Yuan Mo is so unscrupulous, but you are still interceding for her now, Yu Ning, how soft you have to be, Brother Chen is your child." ”
"Mother, of course Brother Chen is my child, at the beginning, I also wanted to crush Aunt Mo to ashes, but just because Brother Chen is my child, especially after this incident, I can better know that Sister Rong and their three children are irreplaceable in my heart, but Mother, the more this happens, the more I can understand why she did this." Pei Shi said sincerely word by word: "Mother, not to mention that Brother Xuan'er, this child, is really the most innocent one." ”
Pei's words, after listening to Mrs. Qi, she still glared at Pei with hatred, but she didn't say anything more, and Pei didn't dare to gain an inch, she just hoped that Mrs. Qi could open up again, at least not to make Brother Qi'er so sad in the future.
After all, Xu Sui is only a fifteen-year-old boy now, and his future days will be so, so long, Pei really doesn't want to let the rights and wrongs of adults give this child a scar that cannot be healed.

"Don't you think Brother Xue has been weird lately?"
"Of course I think so, if you want to say that the eldest sister was there some time ago, the eldest brother couldn't go to the Yingqiang Courtyard to visit the second brother, but now the eldest sister has been staying in the Yingqiang Courtyard from time to time, and she is no longer so resolute in resisting the eldest brother to visit the second brother. But during the time when the second brother's situation was improving, the eldest brother never came to the Shadow Qiang Courtyard once, how can you say that this is not surprising. ”
Sheng Anxuan, in the open house of the female school, Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen took advantage of the gap when Wen Ruyi did not come to get together, avoiding Xu Yourong and quietly biting her ears, but Xu Yourong on the other side did not come to repair Xu Youshan and the others at this time, but pretended not to see the two of them and looked at the book in their hands alone, which made Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen secretly relieved and continued to whisper.
"yes, I think it's weird, too." Xu Mingwen held her chin and groaned.
Xu Youshan nodded in agreement when she heard this, but immediately felt that something was wrong and asked, "Sister Wu, you have hardly come to Yingqiang Courtyard in the past few days, how do you know that the eldest brother didn't visit the second brother?" Xu Youshan looked at Xu Mingwen suspiciously.
"Uh......" Xu Ming's wife was speechless for a while, and then said hesitantly: "It's not that day, Zhai Dagongzi told me, Brother Chen asked Zhai Dagongzi, saying that he has been very busy with his homework in Taixue recently, and whether Brother Zhai has been left in Taixue, otherwise why didn't he see Brother Zhai." ”
It turned out that after Xu Yourong dragged Xu Youshan away that day, Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen had been relatively silent, but this embarrassing atmosphere was not easy for them to break, because Xu Youshan and the two ran away directly, but now the two of them are left to look at Xu Chen, who has fallen asleep, so how can they go?
Anyway, Xu Mingwen was embarrassed to leave Zhai Yu, a guest, here, and then slipped away by herself, so the stalemate came to the end, and it was Xu Mingwen who said awkwardly first, "The weather is very good", which made the two of them talk without focus.
"What?" But Xu Youshan was shocked when she heard this, and she didn't have time to pay attention to the conversation between Zhai Yu and Xu Mingwen, but hurriedly grabbed Xu Ming's hand and hurriedly asked: "Then how did Zhai Dagongzi answer the second brother, Zhai Dagongzi, he won't tell the second brother truthfully, right?" ”
"Of course not." Xu Mingwen hurriedly comforted Xu Youshan and said: "Brother Chen'er replied at that time, saying that there were indeed a few respected old gentlemen in Taixue who had come to teach recently, and the students did not dare to leave a step, so almost all the students in Taixue have not left Taixue recently. ”
Zhai Yu said this well, although he didn't mention Xu Xuan's name, but every word said that the students in Taixue stayed in Taixue, which made people ignore the two words "almost".
"That's good, that's good." And Xu Youshan said with a big sigh of relief at this time.
"But Brother Xue is really abnormal......"
"Mr. Wen has arrived."
Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen still wanted to discuss Xu Xuan's affairs in depth, but the inner door suddenly remembered the bright voice, and Wen Ruyi arrived. So Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen hurriedly sat down separately, and did not continue to discuss, but listened to Wen Ruyi and began to lecture seriously. (To be continued......)
