The carved sandalwood bed, white jade pillows, embroidered with broken calendula tencel satin quilts, the blue bed curtain is tied with five bats silk, and two warm jade in the shape of lively rabbits hang on each side.

The screens, couches, incense burners, eight-treasure shelves, vases, etc. in the house are all expensive, and any thing taken out is enough for ordinary people to spend for several years. Even the blue water yarn that pastes the lampshade, a foot costs dozens of taels of silver, and it may not be able to be bought, and generally those who get this blue water yarn are all covered shirts used to make clothes, who is willing to take the paste lampshade!

Xu Qirong rubbed her forehead, which was still faintly painful, and hugged the quilt in a daze, she remembered that she had obviously fallen in the snow, and she didn't die with a knife, and she didn't know how many knives those men in black had made up. But now, she felt it carefully, except for her head and a little drowsy, there was nothing wrong with her whole body.

Xu Qirong pinched his little arms and legs under the quilt with his hand, and felt a little chill in his heart.

Where is this? Looking at the furnishings in this house, it is much better than the Xu family. Even the Dongyang Marquis Mansion is not as rich as this.

I used to hear that there was a master who could cast a spell to make people borrow a corpse to resurrect her soul, could it be that she borrowed a corpse from a little girl to resurrect her soul? However, even if there is such a master, why would she help such a notorious woman as her to borrow the corpse to resurrect her soul?

Xu Qirong shook his head.

Just thinking about it, I suddenly heard a woman outside who was a little anxious: "Yun'er, did Miss call me during the time I left just now?" Did Han's mother look for me? ”

Then a childish voice replied: "Sister Yu Qiu, I listened to your words and paid close attention, Miss didn't call anyone, and Mother Han didn't come over, Banxia just came to play with me, saying that Mother Han was called over by the old lady for questioning." ”

"That's fine, this peanut candy is for you to eat."

"Thank you, Sister Yuqiu!"

Then Xu Qirong heard the deliberately lightened footsteps coming into the house, and he panicked at first, and then thought, listening to the conversation just now, the woman should be a big maid or something, and thought that even if he borrowed the corpse to return his soul, a maid, even if he saw something, he didn't dare to say anything. So my heart was steady, and I simply sat quietly hugging the quilt.

As the crystal curtain in the inner room was lifted, Xu Qirong saw the person, who was dressed as an eleven or twelve-year-old maid. This maid's clothes and the beaded flowers on her head are somewhat similar to the first-class maids of the Xu Mansion.

The maid saw Xu Qirong sitting with the quilt in her arms, and hurriedly stepped forward, helping Xu Qirong tidy up the corners of the quilt, and said, "Miss, why don't you call someone when you wake up?" Does your head still hurt? Do you have a dry throat? Do you want to drink water? Listening to the voice, it was Yu Qiu, who had just asked the little maid outside.

Xu Qirong felt very uncomfortable in his throat at this time, and he didn't know how long he had been lying on the bed, and his voice was hoarse and harsh: "Bring tea." ”

Yu Qiu hurriedly took a soft pillow for Xu Qirong to lean on, then went to the table and brought a white jade bowl over, lifted the lid, Xu Qirong saw that the water in it was a little golden, it should be honey water or something, so Yu Qiu fed her to drink.

The taste is sweet and warm, and Yu Qiu didn't go out for a long time before thinking about it. After drinking most of the bowl, Xu Qirong shook his head and stopped drinking.

Yu Qiu put the bowl back on the table, then took a snow-white handkerchief to wipe the corners of Xu Qirong's mouth, and asked, "Miss, is there anything else uncomfortable?" If you are still uncomfortable, Dr. Qin is at Mrs. Dabiao's, so I can call over and take a look at the young lady. ”

After drinking the honey water, Xu Qirong felt that his brain didn't hurt anymore, so he said, "You wait for me to get up!" ”

Yu Qiu let out a "hitch", and quickly helped Xu Qirong get dressed. Xu Qirong stood up, his eyes saw a few stoves in the corner of the wall, and he couldn't help but be surprised, it seems that this family is very rich, why don't they even have a dragon in the earth? But his face was silent.

The clothes are well-made jackets and skirts, but the style and color are a bit old-fashioned, like the popular styles more than ten years ago. Yu Qiu combed Xu Qirong's bun head, and tied a white jade-colored hairband embroidered with folded branch flowers. While helping Xu Qirong dress and comb his hair, he babbled to Xu Qirong that he had just been called by the eldest cousin young master for questioning.

The little girl outside had already heard the movement inside and went to the kitchen to bring hot water.

Yu Qiu helped Xu Qirong clean his face, then dug up jasmine paste and smeared it on Xu Qirong's face, carefully wiping it evenly.

Xu Qirong ordered: "Take the diamond mirror to show me." ”

Yu Qiu smiled: "Miss, I'm afraid that Yu Qiu's combing skills are not as good as Yu Xia's!" He turned around and took a rhombus mirror to show Xu Qirong.

The girl in the mirror is pink and tender, her lips are red and her teeth are white, her big eyes like black grapes are dripping, and her milky white skirt is inlaid with a circle of snow-white rabbit hair, which makes the whole person even more pink and jade, and she can see that she is a beauty at a young age.

Xu Qirong was surprised, why did he look a little familiar?

Yu Qiu saw the little girl showing a puzzled look at the little girl in the mirror, so she smiled and said, "How is it?" The slave learned from Yu Xia for a long time some time ago, is the skill of combing her hair much better than before? ”

When Xu Qirong heard Yu Qiu's words, he nodded indiscriminately, and waved his hand to ask her to take the diamond mirror away.

How can it not be familiar, like that, exactly the same as Xu Qirong when he was a child! She also specially lifted the hair on her forehead, and the cinnabar mole the size of a grain of rice was there well.

Xu Qirong had a cinnabar mole on his forehead when he was a child, and when he was eight years old, he went to the White Horse Temple with his aunt Qiao's to offer incense, and the host of the White Horse Temple said that the red mole on the forehead was a thin life. Therefore, when Shangxiang came back, the eldest aunt found someone to help her light the cinnabar mole, leaving a light brown mark.

Where is this borrowing corpse to resurrect the soul! This body is clearly your own! It's just that the furnishings in this room are very unfamiliar, even Yu Qiu, a personal maid, she is very unfamiliar!

Yu Qiu was startled when she saw Xu Qirong's sad face, and hurriedly said, "Miss, is this thinking about the master?" After the New Year, when the weather is warm, the Xu family will send someone to pick us up! ”

Xu Qirong was surprised, but looked at Yu Qiu without saying anything. Seeing that Xu Qirong didn't speak, Yu Qiu thought that she didn't believe her words, so she hurriedly coaxed: "I didn't lie to you, the master explained before I came, and when the New Year was warm, if he hadn't written yet, the young lady would reply to Mrs. Shen and ask her to send someone to send us back." ”

Xu Qirong remembered that when he was six years old, because of the death of his biological mother, he was cold for three days, and he was sick all the time, and his grandmother in Yangzhou was also seriously ill because of the loss of his beloved daughter. Her father thought that Yangzhou was much warmer than the capital and more suitable for recuperation, so he sent her to the Shen family in Yangzhou, where she could not only recuperate, but also fulfill her filial piety for her mother.

It turned out that he was in the Shen family!

When I saw the stove in the corner of the wall and the plain color on my body, I had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

Xu Qirong couldn't remember anything when she was six years old, plus not long after she returned to the Xu family, the Shen family was defeated, and later her father married her stepfamily, and no one in the Xu family mentioned the Shen family in front of her, so she gradually forgot about the Shen family.

used to have conflicts with his stepmother Cheng, Xu Qirong always thought that if his grandfather's family was not a defeated merchant, who would dare to bully him! Although Cheng's mother's house is dilapidated, it is a scholarly home, where will the people in the house mention the Shen family.

Thinking of this, Xu Qirong asked Yu Qiu: "What time is it?" ”

Yu Qiu took out a gold-inlaid pocket watch from his arms and looked at it: "It's noon soon, why don't you go to Nanyun Courtyard first, talk with Mrs. Shen for a while, and have lunch." ”

Xu Qirong nodded, she just wanted to see her grandmother. Yu Qiu hurriedly found a white cloak to put on Xu Qirong, and then waited for Xu Qirong to put on clogs on the outside of his shoes: "It's raining a little outside, put on clogs and walk slowly, it's not easy to slip, and your shoes are clean." ”

After dressing Xu Qirong, Yu Qiucai said: "Miss, wait a minute, I will ask the little maid to call Mother Liu, Pearl and Jade, who are doing needlework." ”

Xu Qirong nodded and let Yu Qiu go.

But she was thinking in her heart, this Yu Qiu, Yu Xia, Yun'er, Pearl, Jade, Mother Han, Mother Liu, she had no impression in her mind. If they were sent by the Shen family to serve her, it would be normal to have no impression, but listening to Yu Qiu's attitude, at least she and Yu Xia were the maids of the Xu family.

The first-class maid who follows the young lady is generally very good with the young lady, why is she not impressed?

Although she can't remember what happened when she was a child, it is impossible for the people who follow her to completely forget it! And looking at Yu Qiu's actions, he should be safe, why hasn't he followed him all the time?

After a while, Mother Liu and Pearl Jade came, holding an umbrella and a hand stove, looking at their skillful appearance, they should be used to serving Xu Qirong.

It's just that Xu Qirong looked at their faces carefully, and none of them were impressed.

Mother Liu asked Xu Qirong with a smile: "Sister Rong, although it is not raining outside, it is windy, and my mother is holding you, is it okay to walk by yourself when you get to the porch?" ”

Xu Qirong's heart was shocked, nurse mother? She clearly remembered that her grandmother was Mother Chen!

Generally speaking, the wet nurse of a large family will always be by the side of the lady if she does not make a big mistake. If this Mother Liu is really her nursing mother, why is she not impressed at all?

Seeing that Xu Qirong didn't speak, Liu's mother thought she agreed, so she squatted down and hugged Xu Qirong, Yu Qiu followed behind to give them umbrellas, and Pearl Jade followed behind with hand stoves and other things to serve.

Liu's mother is a little fat, and in Xu Qirong's impression, no one has ever hugged herself like this. Now that she is held in her arms by Mother Liu, she has a sense of peace of mind, and the soaphorn incense on Mother Liu's clothes seems to be familiar.

So, what went wrong?
