After a morning of shopping, Yu Xiaoxiu barely got used to the new clothes, and Yu Shu bought him a new set of pen inkstones, a movable disk that could be disassembled, an abacus, and a slingshot.

The two of them ate at noon in the Zuixian Building, picked a place on the first floor, sat down and Yu Shu called Xiao Er to order food, Yu Xiaoxiu carefully put the big bag in his hand on the table, sat obediently, his eyebrows and eyes were full of happiness, a little more childish than usual.

Xiao Er looked at him a few more times, and secretly muttered to himself that this was a pair of strong slaves and weak masters, and a small guy climbed on the young master's head.

Yu Xiaoxiu went to this kind of place for dinner for the first time, and he didn't dare to look at it in a restrained manner, until Xiao Er came to serve the food, he took the opportunity to look left and right twice, and whispered: "Sister, why do people look at the two of us very much?" ”

Yu Shu looked at Yu Xiaoxiu, who looked like the little master, and he wouldn't tell him the truth, stroked the neckline of the linen cloth, took a piece of duck leg with chopsticks and put it in his bowl, and said, "How can anyone look at us, eat quickly, don't you still want to go back to the Ji family to see Aunt Liu later?" ”

As a result, the two of them almost couldn't hold their belts after eating, Yu Shu called the guy to settle the account, ignored the strange eyes of the adjacent table, pulled Yu Xiaoxiu away, cut two catties of pork belly on the way, sent him to the back door of Ji's house, and straightened his belt:

"Go, greet Aunt Liu on my behalf, I'll wait for you here."

Yu Shu was a little shadow of the Ji family's back door, and the encounter that day when she was beaten and thrown out made her very cautious as soon as she encountered the Ji family's affairs, and even this back door was reluctant to sneak in.

"I'll be out in a moment." Yu Xiaoxiu carried the meat for fear of getting dirty with his new clothes, his hands were raised high, and he entered through the back door, and the nursing home guarding the door stared at their sisters and brothers, and turned his head to watch Yu Xiaoxiu go in and walk away, and then turned around, but there was another person.

Yu Shu squatted behind the elm tree on the opposite side of the road, yawned, took out three copper plates from his waist, shook them in the palm of his hand, blew them, threw them on the ground, looked at the two parallel and two reverse statues, raised his head and thought about Qing Zhengjiao's judgment, his eyelids jumped, he picked up the money, and lowered his head and took a sip:

"No, I'll ask about the way of wealth, you show a bullshit marriage."

Aunt Liu saw the brand-new Yu Xiaoxiu, which was naturally rare and tight, wiped her hands, circled around him with a sigh, reached out and touched the material of the clothes, and said in surprise: "Who bought the clothes for the young master?" ”

Yu Xiaoxiu looked at her head silently, embarrassed by her: "Sister." ”

Aunt Liu was stunned, "Where did Miss get the money?" ”

"She ———" Yu Xiaoxiu was just about to speak, and remembered that Yu Shu told him not to tell others about her work in the Taiheng Chamber of Commerce, so he held back and said in Yu Shu's tone: "Anyway, it's not stealing and robbing." ”

As he spoke, he handed a large piece of meat in his hand to Aunt Liu, and took out a few pieces of broken silver from his belt, "For you, my sister said that it was inconvenient for her to come in to see Aunt Liu, let you eat better, and you can take the money." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Liu's eyes were sour, and she choked up her voice: "It's hard for Miss to still think about the slave maid, but the slave and maid can't help at all, and I saw her being kicked out at the beginning." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu didn't coax people, he looked at her anxiously and wiped a few handfuls of tears, and finally took the meat money, "Little young master, wait, the slave maid took two pairs of insoles for the young lady in her spare time, her toes are soft, and she always grinds her feet when she wears shoes, so you bring it over." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu also knew about Yu Shu's little problem, nodded, and waited for her to go into the house to get it.

A little maid ran in at the gate of the courtyard, and saw Yu Xiaoxiu's back dressing, the young master of the family at that time, his steps slowed down, and he respectfully walked up with small broken steps to see which young master was saluting again, how did he want to go around to the side to take a look, and he was dazzled:

"Hey, Young Master Yuyu?"

Yu Xiaoxiu turned his head, and saw that it was Aunt Cui's maid Qiaosui, and said a faint "um", and she didn't want to see her, before Yu Shu was kicked out of the Ji family, it was she who tricked herself into Xiaoxi Pavilion and was locked up by his mother.

Qiao Sui covered her small mouth, looked Yu Xiaoxiu up and down, was surprised for a moment, and then remembered what was going on, and reached out to pull his sleeve: "Aunt is looking for you, come with me." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu frowned: "What are you looking for me to do?" He and his mother basically only saw him once a month at the fifteenth family feast, and the rest of the time, she rarely thought of him as a son.

Qiao Sui shook his head: "I don't know what to do, I'm in a hurry." ”

"Young master, my aunt is looking for you, you can pass," Aunt Liu came out of the house, holding a cloth bag in her hand.

Yu Xiaoxiu looked down at the clothes on his body, still hesitating, Na Qiaosui had already pulled him away impatiently, "Go quickly, my aunt is waiting, I should scold the slave when it's late." "Don't pull me, I'll go by myself," Yu Xiaoxiu shook her off, and the unpleasant pull stretched out of her wrinkled sleeves.

Aunt Cui sat on the couch with her legs bent, pinching a handkerchief in her hand, looking at the little son who looked like a different person opposite, grinding her lips, frowning, and said, "Where to change the new clothes." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu looked down at his toes, "My sister bought it." ”

"Your sister?" Aunt Cui's face was flat, "Where did she get the money to buy you clothes?" ”

Yu Xiaoxiu was silent, and subconsciously didn't want his mother to know too much about his sister, anyway, she didn't care about his sister, and she knew what to do so much.

"Why don't you speak?" Aunt Cui pulled off her handkerchief, and when she didn't see Yu Xiaoxiu open her mouth for a long time, she lost her patience, "Forget it, where does your sister live now, don't you know how to do it, now go out to find her and bring her to me." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu raised his head, his eyes were a little defensive, "What are you looking for her?" ”

Aunt Cui pursed her lips, thinking of something, she couldn't hide the joy in her eyes, and her voice was a few words higher: "Anyway, it's a good thing, you go and find her back." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu said: "Didn't the Ji family drive her away, you let her come back, if the third master knows about it————"

"Hehe, how about I know it?"

There was a low laugh from behind, Yu Xiaoxiu's cold hair exploded, and when he turned his head, he heard Aunt Cui shouting "Master" delicately, and his stepfather, who was slightly blessed, walked out of the room with a smile.

"Third Master."

Yu Xiaoxiu bowed down and moved two steps to the wall, he had an instinctive fear of Ji Xiaogu, and he didn't like it.

Ji Xiaogu looked at Yu Xiaoxiu, was held by Aunt Cui and sat down on the couch, and praised: "I changed my clothes, it seems to be a different person, I am very good to dress like this, and I am also in good spirits, Cuixin, I will send two good materials later, and make two more clothes for this child." ”

"Yes," Aunt Cui brought the tea to him, stood beside him, turned her head and whispered to Yu Xiaoxiu, "Thank you yet." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu reluctantly thanked him, not having the slightest joy when he put on the clothes that Yu Shu bought for him, the book said that he had nothing to do and was either a traitor or a thief, and the third master had always treated him coldly and turned a blind eye, and it must be no good thing to suddenly become kind to him today.

What kind of eyes is Ji Xiaogu, being a businessman is the best at observing words and feelings, and he can see this child's alienation from him at the moment, dislike flashed in his eyes, but he smiled mildly on his face:

"Does your sister live in someone else's house now?"

When Yu Xiaoxiu heard him ask about Yu Shu, he didn't want to answer, but his mother gave him a fierce look on the side, and couldn't tolerate his willfulness: "It's living in someone else's house." ”

"She's doing well, there's nothing wrong with her, right?" Ji Xiaogu sighed and regretted: "That day, the old lady was angry for a while, she hit her harder, and sent someone out to look for her afterwards, but she was not found. ”

Yu Xiaoxiu listened to his words suspiciously, why did they send someone out to take care of his sister? He looked up at Aunt Cui, and keenly noticed the discomfort on her face, and sneered in his heart knowing that Ji Xiaogu's words were bluffing him, if they really wanted to find his sister, why should they send someone out of Lu and ask her mother, when he was a three-year-old child?

"My sister is fine now, and there is nothing wrong with her body and bones."

"That's good." Ji Xiaogu nodded, took a sip of tea, and explained to Yu Xiaoxiu: "Now that the old lady's anger has disappeared, you go out to find your sister, bring her back, and tell her, the adults don't care about stealing fish, you are my children in the end, in the past, I was too busy to control it, and I ignored the two of you, I cleaned up a small courtyard for you in the South Cross Courtyard, and allocated a few people, and when your sister came back, you will move over." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu was half a late trip to react to what Ji Xiaogu was saying, and looked at him in surprise, Aunt Cui covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Ji Xiaogu: "Look at this child, he is stupid with joy." ”

"That's good." Ji Xiaogu nodded, took a sip of tea, and explained to Yu Xiaoxiu: "Now that the old lady's anger has disappeared, you go out to find your sister, bring her back, and tell her, the adults don't care about stealing fish, you are my children in the end, in the past, I was too busy to control it, and I ignored the two of you, I cleaned up a small courtyard for you in the South Cross Courtyard, and allocated a few people, and when your sister came back, you will move over." ”

Yu Xiaoxiu was half a late trip to react to what Ji Xiaogu was saying, and looked at him in surprise, Aunt Cui covered her mouth and smiled, and said to Ji Xiaogu: "Look at this child, he is stupid with joy." ”
