I only heard Qin Keji say: "You said that girl really went to the play?" ”

"The slave maid is absolutely not mistaken, the eldest lady went with a lot of maids." Listening to the voice is a maid.

Qin Keji snorted: "I said that I didn't block her when I went to Yuyuan, she could run fast, this time I will see where she is running!" ”

"Uncle Nineteen, why do you have to get along with her?" Even if you didn't listen to the voice, you knew that it was Qin Liyan, "That time, you took care of her affairs without asking, and in the end it ended up like that, and I didn't blame her for this matter." ”

Zhu Mingyu naturally couldn't wait for them to come over, everyone was facing each other, so he pulled the hibiscus and hibiscus to hide in the corridor next to him, squatted down under the cover of the low wall, and signaled the hibiscus not to make a sound.

Qin Keji paused and retorted, "Do you blame me that time? She is vicious and wants to kill the maid, I can't see it and stop it, that's a good thing to save people's lives! How dare she stone me! ”

"After all, you just can't swallow this breath, but didn't you kick her too, I think she hurts more than you."

"She deserves it!"

Qin Keji continued to persuade bitterly: "Even if it's her fault, you are an elder, just be generous and don't chase her anymore, and she is a girl, you don't like to run after her all day long, what's the point of passing it on?" ”

Qin Keji was even more impatient: "What benefits did she give you, speaking for her like this?" If you talk too much, I'll throw you out. ”

Qin Liyan ignored Qin Keji's threat, and almost hugged Qin Keji's thigh and begged him not to go: "Uncle Nineteen, listen to my advice, today is Old Lady Zhu's birthday, don't make any more trouble." ”

Qin Keji was said by Qin Keji to be big, and he walked faster, and he wanted to throw Qin Liyan away, so he didn't notice the people hiding in the corridor.

When their voices were getting farther and farther away, and they were sure that they had passed, Zhu Mingyu and Mu Hibiscus stood up.

"Miss, it's a good thing that we came out, otherwise he would have been caught, but it's not a way for him to always look for you like this." Hibiscus was worried.

Zhu Mingyu is optimistic: "After my grandmother's birthday, he can't continue to rely on it, anyway, it's not a few days, I'll just hide." ”

The snow was even bigger, and Mu Hibiscus helped Zhu Mingyu put on the hat on the cloak, and said angrily: "There is really a lot of snow this year, Miss, let's go quickly, I'm afraid the tea on the clothes will freeze." ”

Zhu Mingyu nodded, looked at the ground that had accumulated thick white snow again, and suddenly said, "Many people will freeze to death this year." She thought she had forgotten what her mother had left her at that intersection, she was only five years old at the time, but she already remembered, she told herself to buy bread, but she never came back, it was snowing that day, she also felt very cold, but she insisted on not falling asleep, and by the time she was found, she was too cold to stand up, but that experience made her no longer afraid of the cold.

Mu Hibiscus was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, last time I went down to Xuepuji Temple, I started to give porridge, and the lord also donated silver." ”

"Well, go back and donate one for me." Zhu Mingyu paused, and continued, "It's better to go by yourself." ”

"It's not impossible for Miss to go if she wants to, go back and talk to the old lady, it's just that it's freezing now."

The two walked towards Yuyuan while talking, but they didn't expect to meet a group of people again, who were brought by Chief Manager Lu. Lu Shan was brought back by the old lady when he was young, and he was not born to the Zhu family, but he was deeply appreciated by the old lady Zhu, and sat all the way from the old lady's house to the general manager, who was older than Mrs. Zhu, but no one knew how old he was, he was stocky, his hair was black, and he looked less than fifty.

Lu Shan also saw Zhu Yu: "Miss." ”

"Where are you going, Mr. Lu?"

Who could have brought him into the inner courtyard himself? Zhu Mingyu looked at the people who came with him, it was obvious that the protagonist was a woman in her thirties, her clothes were a little plain, and she only had a simple silver hairpin on her head, her appearance was beautiful, but with a messy sorrow, there were a few uneven folds between her eyebrows.

She was holding a little girl about ten years old in her right hand, dressed a little plain, wearing a white fur cloak, and her little face from the hat was red from the cold, and it could be seen that it was the woman's daughter, but after seeing Zhu Yu looking at herself, she glared at her and turned her head.

Zhu Mingyu was a little strange, when did she provoke her?

Seeing Zhu Mingyu's dazed face, Lu Shan explained understandingly: "The eldest lady should have seen it when she was a child, this is the eldest aunt and grandmother and Miss Cousin." ”

No wonder she looks a little familiar, it turns out to be like Mrs. Zhu. Mrs. Zhu has two daughters, the youngest daughter Zhu Chengxian married to Cangzhou, and there are more contacts, and this face should be married to Zhu Chengshu, the eldest aunt of the Confucian family in Jiangnan.

Zhu Mingyu suddenly said to Zhu Chengshu apologetically: "My niece hasn't seen her aunt for many years, and she didn't recognize it for a while, please forgive my aunt." He bowed deeply.

"Did you not recognize it, or did you deliberately turn a blind eye?" The little girl was still hostile to Zhu Mingyu.

Zhu Chengshu was not so reluctant, gently dragged the little girl, helped Zhu Mingyu up with a gentle smile, and said, "In a blink of an eye, Mingyu has grown into a big girl, I can't recognize it." Although he was smiling, Zhu Chengshu's eyes still had unsolvable sorrow.

Zhu Mingyu got up along her hand and saw that there were some unhealed scars on her exposed wrists, like recent burns that had not healed.

Zhu Chengshu pulled the reluctant Kong Jiayi and continued to Zhu Mingyu: "This is your cousin Jiayi. ”

"Cousin Jiayi." Zhu Mingyu really doesn't remember this cousin, even if there is a grudge, I'm afraid it was many years ago.

Kong Jiayi still kept a straight face, but she still shouted in front of Zhu Chengshu: "Big cousin." ”

Zhu Chengshu and the others had something to do, and Zhu Mingyu also wanted to go back quickly, so he didn't say anything more, and left after the etiquette was exhausted. Zhu Mingyu glanced back again, a little puzzled, although it was Mrs. Zhu's sixtieth birthday, it didn't look like they were just here to celebrate their birthday.

At this time, a figure passed by Zhu Mingyu, the pace was very fast, and there was a gust of cold wind, Zhu Mingyu didn't have time to see his face clearly when he saw him walk to Zhu Chengshu's side, and said something respectfully, Zhu Chengshu looked at him with some relief.

Not far away, Zhu Mingyu saw that it was a young man with a long body, a little thin, and about the same age as Zhu Mingchen, standing there like a pine.

It must be Zhu Chengshu's son, but Zhu Mingyu also had no impression of this cousin, so he didn't care about it, and left with hibiscus.

However, after she left, the young man looked at her back with deep and thoughtful eyes.
