A cold wind blew, the wilting leaves on the trees rattled, and the girl under the porch watched a group of people rush in through the door, one of them wrapped in a big red gold cloak, revealing only a pair of large bright eyes.

"Second Miss is here." The girls said in unison, some people greeted Shi Li, some people raised heavy curtains, and the courtyard was lively.

The room was as warm as spring, and Xie Roujia let go of the hand wrapped around the cloak, revealing the pink jacket and silver and white skirt inside.

"Has Mother eaten?" She asked.

Mrs. Xie put down the book in her hand.

"You woke up late again and didn't eat?" She said with a frown.

Before Xie Roujia could speak, Xie Rouhui beckoned to her.

"Mother has eaten it, but I haven't eaten it yet." She said, and asked Konoha to pass the rice.

Xie Roujia happily sat next to Xie Rouhui.

"You didn't get up early to practice dancing and not come to breakfast, but to wait for this lazy sleeper." Mrs. Xie said to Xie Rouhui.

"No, it's really a dance practice." Xie Rouhui smiled, "Didn't I practice?" The girls have seen it, but I didn't lie to my mother. ”

"Yes, Miss really practiced." Konoha laughed.

Mrs. Xie just smiled and didn't speak again, and the girls rushed in, and breakfast was obviously ready.

Xie Roujia sighed while picking up the chopsticks.

"It's so cold in winter, even colder than winter in the north." She said.

"Northside?" Xie Rouhui turned her head to look at her, "It's colder here than in the north?" ”

Xie Roujia nodded. Stop the chopsticks in your hand.

When she first married in Zhenbei Wangfu, it was winter, and she traveled a long distance and missed her homeland. Looking at the snow outside, I thought I would freeze to death as soon as I got out of the car. Unexpectedly, it was not as cold as she imagined, and she also grabbed a ball of snow with her own hands, compared to the biting river water, the condensed snow seemed to be a little warm in her hand.

Or maybe her people and hearts feel cold every year because they don't see the sky, so they have such an illusion.

"How do you know if it's cold in the north in winter?" Xie Rouhui's voice sounded in her ears, "You haven't been there again." ”

Xie Roujia came back to her senses and grinned.

"I listened to Uncle Five." She said.

Xie Rouhui sighed.

"It's better to listen to others than to see it yourself." "We'll see it for ourselves in the future," she said. ”

"Nope." Xie Roujia blurted out.

This suddenly raised voice made everyone stunned, and Mrs. Xie also frowned.

"I don't want to go out, I just want to stay at home. Not going anywhere. Xie Roujia hurriedly continued.

Xie Rouhui smiled.

"It's not right now." She laughed.

"I won't go out again." Xie Roujia said, "I will never leave my father and sister for the rest of my life." ”

Children love to say this kind of thing, Mrs. Xie shook her head.

"Eat, if you have anything to say, you will talk about it after eating." She said, tapping on the table.

Xie Roujia smiled at Xie Rouhui, stopped talking, and lowered her head to eat.

Because of the cold weather, the girls' class time was delayed a lot, and when Xie Rouhui and Xie Roujia came to the school hand in hand, there were already drums in the room.

Xie Roushu sat on the ground and pushed the small drum in front of her away, looking at her hands and sighing.

"It's all rough." She said, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Learn this to master the rhythm." Xie Yao said. Seeing Xie Rouhui and Xie Roujia who came in, they hurriedly waved their hands.

Both little girls looked at her, and one of them smiled at her, but did not come over.

Since Xie Roujia's drowning, Xie Rouhui has blamed herself for not accompanying Xie Roujia. So now, in addition to learning homework with the eldest lady, she is inseparable from Xie Roujia.

"Such a high pool." Xie Roushu said, stretching out her hand and gesturing. "I'm scared to death, it's really funny."

Xie Roujia's drowning has become a joke on Xie Roushu's lips all the time.

"I don't know what else she can do." She pouted.

The voice fell. A series of drums sounded in the school, and the rhythm was bright and powerful. Everyone looked at each other.

The girl sat on the ground and beat the small drum with a relaxed expression, because the room was warm, everyone was wearing only homely clothes, and in order to facilitate the drumming, the sleeves were tied up, revealing white jade arms.

The white arms, the black drum, and the red shirt form a bright picture in the eyes of everyone.

"Megumi is amazing." Xie Roushu muttered with a bit of envy.

But the drums were chaotic at this moment, and the house resounded with the sad sound of the girls.

"Sister, I still can't fight well here." Xie Roujia said with a smile and looked at Xie Rouhui on the side.

What the? Admit your mistake again?

Xie Roushu was stunned for a moment, her eyes shifted, and then she saw the exact same girl sitting on the other side.

Xie Rouhui smiled slightly, reached out and took Xie Roujia's small drum, and the light and smooth drum sound poured out.

"That's Megumi playing the drums, I said it didn't sound right." Xie Roushu said hurriedly.

Xie Yao didn't even look at her.

"Then you're mistaken." She said.

Xie Roushu blushed.

"Don't talk about the fourth sister, I admit my mistakes." Xie Rouqing walked over and sat down, looking at Xie Rouhui who was playing the drums over there, and her eyes finally fell on Xie Roujia.

She looked at Xie Roujia, and Xie Roujia's gaze was glued to Xie Rouhui, focused and serious, and seemed to be blind except for the qiē around her sister.

"It's getting brighter and brighter." Xie Rouqing said.

Xie Roushu nodded hurriedly.

"Yes, yes, Megumi is getting better and better." She said.

Xie Rouqing didn't speak, her eyes were still looking at Xie Roujia.

There was a chaotic sound of footsteps, and a dozen inferior girls came in with a few big drums, and the girls in the room suddenly became lively.

This is the big drum that will be used in the sacrifice, which is erected around the altar, except for Miss Xie on the altar. The girls who beat the drums are the most eye-catching.

Everyone got out of the way and watched the rough girls set up in the room. Xie Roushu took the opportunity to stand beside Xie Rouhui and talk to her flatteringly, and Xie Roujia walked away a few steps. Look at the drums.

The drum was not new, and the emblem of the Xie family was carved on it, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"Be careful, don't hit your feet." Someone said.

Xie Roujia took a step back and looked at the person talking beside her.

This is a fourteen or fifteen-year-old rough girl, seeing Xie Roujia looking over, she bowed her head and saluted.

"Second Miss." "The shelf hasn't been set up yet, it's not stable." ”

Xie Roujia sighed and stepped out of the way. I noticed something and looked at this girl.

"Can you recognize me as Second Miss?" She asked.

The sisters in the house who study together every day may not be able to recognize her at a glance, how can this rough girl who meets for the first time recognize her?

Or not the first time you've met?

Xie Roujia looked at this girl, and this girl also raised her head to look at her.

"Second Miss forgot about the slave." She said, and hurriedly lowered her head again, "The slave is Huaiye." ”

Sophora leaves!

Xie Roujia was stunned.

"You are Mother Yuan's daughter." She said, taking a step forward in surprise.

"Jiajia."

Xie Rouhui's voice came from behind her, and Xie Roujia hurriedly turned her head.

"Sister, it's Huaiye." She happily beckoned to Xie Rouhui.

Xie Rouhui was a little stunned.

"Who?" She asked, walking over with her feet up.

"It's Yuan's mother's daughter." Xie Roujia said.

Yuan's mother is Xie Rouhui's wet nurse. Because their sisters grew up together, Xie Roujia was also very close, but unfortunately Yuan's mother accidentally fell into the lake and drowned when Xie Rouhui was ten years old.

Xie Rouhui was also seriously ill because of this. Xie Roujia remembered that she had also cried for several days.

Xie Rouhui's footsteps paused, and then she sped up and walked over, looking at Huai Ye.

"Sophora leaves?" She said. A little surprised between his eyebrows, "Why are you here?" ”

Huaiye was originally also the girl next to Xie Rouhui. It's just because after Yuan's mother died, Xie Rouhui's feelings were unstable. Crying when she saw Huai Ye, Mrs. Xie had no choice but to send Huai Ye to another place, and it was almost two years in the blink of an eye, and she actually saw her here.

"yes, I thought my mother sent you out, but you're still at home." Xie Roujia said happily.

Huaiye was a little apprehensive at this time.

"The slave and maid are in the treasury, and there are not enough people this time, so I came to help." She said, "The slave is going out." ”

When she said that, she turned around and ran out.

Xie Roujia was stunned.

"Sophora leaves." She shouted to keep up.

The female gentleman who taught the drums came in at this time.

"All stand up, the three of them are drumming at the same time." The female gentleman said.

Xie Roujia had no choice but to stop and watch Huai Ye stumble out.

"She must be afraid that sister, you will be sad when you think of Mother Yuan." She said to Xie Rouhui.

Xie Rouhui squeezed out a smile.

"What did she say to you?" She asked.

"I didn't say anything." Xie Roujia said.

"Didn't you say anything?" Xie Rouhui asked again.

"No, she recognized me, greeted me, I didn't even recognize her, and then called you, sister." Xie Roujia said, "Sister, Huai Ye actually made a rough girl, or we will take her..."

Xie Rouhui took her hand and interrupted her.

"She recognizes you?" She asked, "Recognize what you?" ”

"It's nothing, it's just that she recognizes me as the second miss." Xie Roujia said with a smile and wanted to hold her sister's hand, but found that her sister had a lot of strength and didn't withdraw her hand.

"She...," Xie Rouhui said in surprise.

Before they could finish speaking, the gentleman over there beat the drum and interrupted them with a thud.

"It's class, don't talk." She shouted.

Xie Rouhui came back to her senses and hurriedly let go of Xie Roujia, and gave Mr. Chong an apologetic salute, and Xie Roujia was also busy standing up.

"It's always a drag on Megumi to be trained." Xie Roushu pursed her lips and muttered behind her.

……………………………………

In the somewhat depressed courtyard in winter, drums were constantly sounding.

"Miss." Jiang Ling poked his head in from outside the door, "The young master of the Shao family is here." ”

Xie Roujia sighed lazily, and her subordinates didn't stop.

"Let him in." She said.

Shao Mingqing walked in and saw that the girl was still sitting and playing drums, without raising her eyelids, and he didn't speak, and walked straight to the window.

"I ate some barbecue at my uncle's place, and when I was a little thirsty, I made some tea to relieve my greasy." He said.

The girl on the side responded that the first few times the young master instructed the girl in the house, the girls would take a look at Xie Roujia and wait for her instructions, but now everyone no longer looks at Xie Roujia, and Shi Li responded and left.

"Did Young Master Cousin come here yesterday?" Mu Xiang asked.

"No, it just arrived in the morning." Shao Mingqing said, sat down in front of a few cases, and pulled out a book casually.

Mu Xiang, who originally wanted to find something to say, was silent, and the girls came in with tea, and Mu Xiang personally poured tea for him and stepped aside.

Xie Roujia played the drums seriously in the room, and didn't seem to see any guests sitting at all, while the guests sat in front of a few desks, drinking tea and reading books, neither feeling left out nor disturbed by the drums.

It's hard to understand what they are.

Mu Xiang shook her head.

After a cup of tea, the two people in the house still didn't talk, and a girl ran in outside the door.

"The eldest lady is here."

Xie Roujia immediately put down the drum in his hand, and Shao Mingqing also put down the book in his hand and stood up.

"Then I'll take my leave." He said.

Xie Roujia sighed and happily greeted Xie Rouhui who walked into the door.

Seeing Shao Mingqing here, Xie Rouhui was a little surprised.

"My cousin is here." She said.

"Yes, running errands for my father." Shao Mingqing said with a smile and gave a salute to Xie Rouhui.

"It just so happens that we don't have classes today, so my cousin should stay and eat together." Xie Rouhui said with a smile.

Shao Mingqing gave a salute.

"Thank you, sister, it's just that it's time for me to say goodbye, and I'm going back today." He said.

Xie Rouhui nodded and smiled.

"Next time, then." She said.

Shao Mingqing said goodbye again and walked out, Xie Roujia stood under the porch with her pigtails hanging down, and saw Shao Mingqing turn around and smile at her and wave her hand.

Who wants to send you! Xie Roujia turned around and looked at Xie Rouhui.

"Sister, are you done with your mother? Tired or not? What do you want for dinner? She asked in a loud voice.

Xie Rouhui smiled and pulled down her braided hand.

"I'm still afraid that you'll be bored, so my cousin is here." She said.

I'm not bored when he's not there, but I can't say this, I want to comfort my sister and not let my sister worry about herself.

"Yes, I had a good time with my cousin, sister, don't worry about me." Xie Roujia said with a smile on her face.

Xie Rouhui stroked her shoulder.

"Jiajia." She grabbed Xie Roujia's hand, turned around and walked towards the house, and asked while thinking of something, "What did Huaiye tell you that day?"
