In December, it was snowy everywhere and the weather was freezing, Shu Yao sat by the window and embroidered the plum blossoms in the corner of the courtyard, and the little girl who had grown a lot was lazily lying at her feet, no matter how the fire jumping up and down was teasing or provoking beside her, she just didn't bother to pay attention to it with her eyes half-closed.

Mother Liu sat on the chair on the other side and made a female red, which was a cotton robe of Shuwen.

Mother Liu's needlework is very good, and now most of the clothes of Shuyao's three siblings are made by her, which is beautiful and comfortable. Liu's mother also likes to see the three of them wearing the robes she sewed and embroidered by herself, and she also likes to make the same series of clothes for the three of them, so that people can know that they are brothers, sisters and brothers.

Looking at the half-finished plum blossom snow picture on Shu Yao's embroidery, Liu's mother is very proud, her girl really has the talent to learn embroidery, at a young age, it took less than half a year, and she has embroidered quite well. Of course, what Liu's mother didn't know was that in order not to look too abrupt, Shuyao tried her best to embroider simpler pictures with fewer colors.

The eldest girl and the second girl came in with two bowls of red dates and ginger tea and put them on the small round table: "Girl, mother, drink some ginger tea to warm up." ”

Shu Yao put down the embroidery bandage and walked over: "I've been sitting and haven't moved, it's really cold!" Did the eldest brother and Wen'er send it there? Anyway, she also burned a good silver frost charcoal here to keep warm, and the Shujie brothers were reading and practicing calligraphy in the study, but there was no charcoal.

Shujie thinks that men should not be too pampered, and now Shuwen's body is also very good, and he has followed him to practice martial arts. Therefore, the Shujie brothers' house and study are not charcoal-burning, and they don't wear as many as Shuyao.

"Sent it, Aunt Mei brought it in." Erniu replied with a smile, soaked a handkerchief with hot water, wrung it out and wiped Shu Yao's hands. "We also have it, Aunt Mei cooked a big pot, and let Aunt Li and Sister-in-law Ajuan each send a big bowl."

Aunt Li lives next door, Sister-in-law Ajuan's house is directly opposite the door, what good things are cooked in their respective homes, they all want to send some to share and share, things are not expensive things, what is rare is that enthusiasm, this is also the difference between small households and large households in the market. Shu Yao in this world likes this kind of "market, cliché" warmth.

"It's so sweet!" Shu Yao took a sip, with a very happy expression on her little face, "You guys go drink it too, it's not good to taste when it's cold." ”

The eldest sister responded, in this family, they eat and drink the same as the master, and they can also learn to read and write with Shu Yao, learn embroidery, and the three little masters are all people without a shelf, Mother Liu and Aunt Mei are also kind and amiable, and their lives are very comfortable. The girl also allowed them to go back to Zhuangzi once every half a month to visit their father and brother. Father and mother always told them to keep their duties, to know how to cherish, to serve the young master and the girl well, and not to be light-hearted because the master treated them well.

Shu Yao drank ginger jujube tea, and just wanted to stand up and walk around and then continue embroidering, when the second girl came in in a hurry: "Girl, Mother Wu next to Mrs. Gu is here, it seems that Mrs. Gu is not good." ”

Shu Yao was surprised: "What's wrong with my aunt?" What about Mother Wu? Does the eldest brother know the truth? ”

Erniu hurriedly replied: "Aunt Mei took Mother Wu to the study to see the eldest young master, let me come over and tell the girl." ”

Shu Yao was in a hurry: "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." "Yesterday, their brother and sister were still discussing that they would go to Lucheng to visit their aunt when the snow stopped in the past few days, and calculated the time when their aunt was about to give birth. Could it be that my aunt still can't survive that catastrophe in this life? But the time hasn't come yet!

When I rushed to the door of the study, I heard Wu's mother's cry, Shu Yao was so anxious that she was about to cry, don't let anything happen! My aunt is the closest relative of the three of them in this world. As for the rest of the people in Xia Mansion, in the hearts of the three of Shu Yao, they are really not as good as ordinary clan relatives.

"Mother Wu, what's wrong with my aunt?" Shu Yao rushed into the study, and she didn't care about the rules such as "walking and talking softly".

Mother Wu hugged Shu Yao: "Cousin, woo woo, Mrs. she is not good, I want to see the last side of your three brothers and sisters." ”

"Oh no? What's wrong? Auntie, did she give birth to a baby? Shu Yao's tears fell. Over there, Shujie was already discussing with Mother Liu and Aunt Mei about going on the road to Lucheng. It was still snowing, but no matter what, they had to hurry to Lucheng to see Xia Ruoyun.

Mother Wu cried even more sadly: "Mrs. was hit by the eldest young master...... Born prematurely, it's a little young master...... Although the little young master was a little older, fortunately it was not too big, and he was born after tossing for a while...... Originally, everyone thought that there was nothing wrong, but who would have thought that his wife would suddenly bleed heavily, and finally stopped the bleeding...... Whining...... But Lang Zhong said that his wife was bleeding too much and suffered serious losses, and she couldn't last ten days and half a month...... Woowoo...... As soon as the wife woke up...... In addition to looking at the little master...... I said I wanted to see you at the end. ”

"Big young master? Why would the eldest young master bump into my aunt? Where are all the people waiting next to you? Shu Yao said angrily, she intuitively felt that there was something wrong here.

The wife in front of Master Zhang died in childbirth, and she swallowed her breath after struggling to give birth to a boy, the eldest young master Zhang Xu seems to be six or seven years old this year, and he has a good relationship with Xia Ruoyun. Xia Ruoyun, like Donnie Yen, is a kind stepmother, and she has always treated Brother Xu as her own since she entered the door.

Shu Yao remembered that Xia Ruoyun told Donnie Yen that Brother Xu was very sticky to her and listened to her very much, and his laughter made Master Zhang jealous. When Wu's mother came to see Shuyao a month ago, she also said that Brother Xu talked to the younger brother in his wife's belly every day.

Mother Wu choked up and said: "Mrs. was walking in the small garden, and the eldest young master was praised by Mr. in the school, and as soon as he came back, he ran all the way to tell his wife, but he was slipped and fell by the fried soybeans that were spilled in his purse, and hit his wife directly." The old man was furious and locked the eldest young master in a dark room, and the eldest young master was also frightened, and kept crying to see his wife and the little young master, saying that his purse was not broken. ”

Shu Yao intuitively felt that things were not so simple, Brother Xu was only six or seven years old, and he was close to Xia Ruoyun......

Shujie quickly made a decision, Mother Liu and Erniu followed their three siblings to Lucheng, and Aunt Mei took Da Niu and Xiu Tao to stay at home.

Because of the snow, the road on weekdays was less than three hours, and I hurried and walked for nearly six hours.

When Shu Yao and his entourage arrived at Zhang's house, it was already past the unitary hour, and it was already dark.

As soon as Mother Wu entered the inner courtyard, a little maid rushed over and cried loudly: "Mother Wu, you are back, Mrs., Mrs. is about to die, Lang Zhong will only shake his head and say that there is no way, and let us prepare for the future, and now we will rely on the ginseng given by Mrs. Uncle." ”

Shujie led his younger siblings one by one: "Quick, take us over to see my aunt." ”
