On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, following the customs, the guns were set off to go to the obscurity, the five poor were rushed, and after eating early, Yu Shu sat in the front living room and waited for the Ji family to come and pick him up.

Zhao Hui asked Shen's mother to take the salute she had packed up last night to the front, He Fangzhi didn't go out today, drinking the morning lamp, and Yu Shu was talking about some spring health methods, such as boiling plum tea, jasmine tea, light food, getting up early and rubbing ears at sunset, etc., Yu Xiaoxiu listened to it with relish next to him, Jinbao was lazily lying on Yu Shu's lap, she gently scratched her back, and shook a pair of small ears comfortably.

After sunrise, someone from the Ji family came, and a carriage rushed to the door of Zhao Hui's house, and there was a steward and a maid who came to pick up people, and when they arrived at the door, they didn't come in, but only let the little guy guarding the door go in to tell and call Yu Shu out.

Yu Shu saw that it was still early, and Xue Rui didn't come, so he asked the little girl to come out and say that she hadn't cleaned up yet, so she asked people to wait outside and was not invited in.

Zhao Hui asked her strangely, "Why don't you leave?"

Yu Shu said: "I mentioned it with Brother Cao yesterday, I was afraid that no one from the Ji family would pick it up today, so he said that he would let Lao Cui come, and wait, I will take Lao Cui's car."

When the steward outside the door heard that he had to wait, he complained a few words, and sat in the car with the maid to wait, obviously unhappy to take this errand.

When she arrived at the corner, Yu Shu heard the little girl at home running errands to tell her that the car was coming, so she didn't let her godmother and godfather go, Zhao Hui had to send it to the door, and Shen's mother helped carry a burden.

When I got to the door, I saw two carriages parked side by side, both of which were inconspicuous, but because of the people standing by the car, it was easy to distinguish, as soon as Lao Cui saw Yu Shu, he jumped off the front seat, grabbed the lasso with one hand, pulled the curtain with the other, and greeted with a smile:

"Girl, please get in the car, I met a married person on East Street, and it was too late to take a detour."

Yu Shu saw that Xue Rui was not sitting in the car, muttered in his heart, turned his head to the Ji family, and said, "I'll take this car and go, you guys will follow behind."

The people of the Ji family were still unwilling, and said: "The master ordered us to pick us up, but the girl still went with us, otherwise what if the road forks in the road, and I have to go back to find you?"

Yu Shu was lazy, instructed Shen's mother to put the two bags of luggage on Lao Cui's car, and then turned around and touched Zhao Hui's stomach to let her pay attention to the rest of the three meals, and patted Yu Xiaoxiu on the shoulder after the last time, and instructed:

"Listen to my godmother's words and go back to see your mother."

Yu Xiaoxiu nodded, looked at her with a blank eye, and Yu Shu almost couldn't bear to leave, and handed him a hot ball of Jinbao in his hand, who knew that the little guy hooked her sleeve with his paws, and he couldn't shake it off with a "chirp".

Yu Shu laughed at this little beast who was most afraid of her on weekdays, but today he pestered her, whether it understood it or not, and followed its fur: "I'm not going to a good place, you still live a good life here."

The people of the Ji family almost screamed when they saw that she had taken a mouse to play, and hid behind the steward with a frightened face.

Yu Xiaoxiu saw Jinbao hanging on his sleeve and was cheating, so he couldn't help but smile, so he proposed: "Sister, take it with you, you can also be a companion."

Yu Shu was worried that he couldn't pull off Jinbao, and when he heard him say this, his mind moved, and he smiled: "It's okay."

So he stuffed Jinbao into his sleeve, got into the car, waved at Zhao Hui and them, Lao Cui put down the curtain and urged the horse to go, and the people from the Ji family had to follow.

Lao Cui drove and ignored where the people of the Ji family went, blindly in front, crossed Qianyuan Street from the south of the city, stopped outside the Fang Gate, and asked Yu Shu to get out of the car.

The groom of the Ji family watched from afar, and was busy talking to the people in the car, and the steward probe came out to see, only to see Yu Shu change from one car to another, he had some insight, and recognized that the new Chinese car with Zhu Ding Fan Xuan was made by the court officials, and he was surprised and strange, urging the coachman to catch up, wanting to see who it was, but he couldn't get to him, and he was thrown away again.

Besides, Yu Shu changed cars halfway, and when he saw Xue Rui in the car, he looked at the brocade and jade crown on his body, his sideburns were meticulous, his shoulder buckles were brown fur, the placket was not messy, the collar was inlaid with silver buttons, the corners were spotless, and his waist was covered with a jade ring of brocade and a green ribbon and gold spikes, all from head to toe, he was dressed like a heroic nobleman, and he was even more particular about three points than usual, she guessed that he was trying to support himself in the scene, and couldn't help laughing:

"Big brother, you just don't wear it like this, just report your name, and people will know that you are the eldest young master of the Xue family, and you don't dare to slack off."

Her "big brother" shouted naturally, Xue Rui also smiled, glanced at her, and said: "This is my usual clothes, just because you are an unparticular girl, I can't see the good thing, I only keep everything simple when I interact with you, today is the fifth day of the New Year, and I am about to wear new clothes and hats to meet the festival, do you think everyone is like you and do not abide by habits?"

As he spoke, he swept over Yu Shu's clothes, but it was still the same skirt he saw two days ago, and it hadn't changed.

Hearing the ridicule in his words, Yu Shu said unhurriedly: "I was about to say that I would wait a few days to buy a suit, and I would wear more decently in the future."

Xue Rui saw that she had the heart to dress up, so he made a plan: "Why wait a few days, tomorrow you go to the Wangji Building, I will find two tailors to take the fabric and the album to measure your body, see what style you like, and make it together."

Yu Shu wanted to say that there was no need to bother, but as soon as he thought about it, he only made a brother and sister with him yesterday, and it would be boring to be hypocritical again, so he nodded and said "Okay", remembering that he would bring enough money when he went out tomorrow, lest he give her another pad.

At this time, Jinbao "chirped" twice, poked out of Yu Shu's cuffs, Xue Rui saw the little yellow hair, and was not surprised, he knew that their sister and brother had raised a small thing like a mouse, and heard Yu Xiaoxiu talk about the source, Xue Rui was in a rich family, and he had seen a lot of playthings since he was a child, and what flowers, birds, grass and carp were common, and even some people raised tigers and wolves in captivity, like rats, and looked at them cleanly, so he didn't make a fuss.

Yu Shu knew that Jinbao smelled the fragrance of a few plates of dim sum on the coffee table, and he was hungry, so he broke a little to feed it, and when he saw Xue Rui looking at it, he said:

"I took it to be a companion, and I couldn't sleep at night because I changed places."

Xue Rui reminded: "Beware of being scratched by cats."

Yu Shu poked Jinbao's head and warned it: "Don't hear me, don't run around, if you are caught by a cat, you will swallow you, and it will be too late to shout for help."

Xue Rui saw that she was reasoning with the mouse, but he just laughed and didn't say a word.

As he spoke, he arrived outside the gate of the Right Judgment Mansion, and the carriage that was chasing after him had long been thrown away.

Xue Rui didn't rush down, first asked the entourage outside the car to take the name card to the door and hand it over, asking to see Ji Huaishan in his name, without mentioning Yu Shu's matter, the post was written "Xue Rui, Shaoqing of Dali Temple".

Waiting for a cup of tea, a housekeeper came to the car to invite.

Yu Shu followed Xue Rui out of the car one after the other, and the entourage was holding her baggage behind, the housekeeper didn't recognize who Yu Shu was, and it was strange to see, but because he was afraid of Xue Rui's identity, he didn't want to ask.

"Xue Gongzi, please go this way." Listening to the title, you know that this housekeeper knows people, otherwise he should call "adult", not son, in the end, the Xue family is too prosperous in Anlingmen, and no one knows it.

When he entered someone else's garden, Xue Rui didn't see any restraint, but he was a little less kind and more arrogant from within, and occasionally stopped, pointed to the scenery in the garden, and talked to Yu Shu sideways:

"This right judgment house was built in the Baotai years, when the right judge of Si Tianjian was the late Mr. Zhou Yixing, Baotai was born in the early years of Dayan three lists of 100 yuan, and was famous for being good at feng shui, and now the east tomb of the imperial tomb was built by him at that time, you see the feng shui in this garden, it is also from his handwriting, and the next few right judges moved in, and they did not dare to change without authorization, it is not as good as knowing."

Yu Shu nodded, and suddenly asked curiously: "Then which one is the current right judge good at?"

Xue Rui didn't sneer at her loneliness, and replied: "Now the right judge is also a capable person from the three lists of 100 yuan in the past, and he is the best at looking at the stars, but it's a pity——"

He paused, and Yu Shu asked, "What's the pity?"

Xue Rui smiled and continued to walk forward with her: "It's a pity that Yunhua Yizi was alive back then, no matter what kind of genius and genius he was, he was the only one who was covered with the court, and the moon was shining and the stars were unknown."

Yu Shu heard the ridicule in his words, and also smiled, and followed, saying in his heart that Ji Huaishan is now complacent, but there were times when he was overwhelmed and couldn't raise his head.

The housekeeper who led the way listened to the two of them talking, and became more and more puzzled about Yu Shu's identity, and he didn't know why the eldest young master of the Xue family was visiting today.

But when the two of them were sent to the flower hall in the garden, there was already charcoal, and they were served refreshments and fruits, and the housekeeper said goodbye:

"Our adults will come back after changing their clothes, please wait for Xue Gongzi to drink tea."

On a free day, Ji Xingxuan was drawing a two-color nine-plum picture in the room, and the two maids were holding a pen and a handkerchief, waiting by their side, and the parrot on the windowsill suddenly called:

"Miss Auspicious"

Listening to the voice, someone outside announced: "Miss, my lord, let you clean up and meet guests in the garden."

Ji Xingxuan lifted the paintbrush, observed the plum blossom hue, and asked, "What kind of guest?"

"He said that he was the eldest son of the Xue Lao Shangshu family."

A little green juice dripping from the tip of the pen, blurring the color in the blank space, Ji Xingxuan stared at the broken picture, sighed lightly, lost his drawing, put the pen in the tray in the maid's hand, and said:

"Tell my grandfather that I'll go over later."

She cleaned her hands, let the maid comb her hairpin, changed her clothes, lightly powdered her, put on a veil, tied a short tweed cloak at the door, and went to the front yard.

In the atrium, I saw Ji Huaishan coming from the study, the two grandparents and grandchildren walked to the garden together, and the two maids beside them retreated, Ji Xingxuan asked:

"The son of the Xue family suddenly visited, what happened?"

Ji Huaishan put his hands behind his back and said slowly: "The post said that I want to ask the old man to occupy one thing for him, so I will let you come and listen to it."

Ji Xingxuan groaned: "I mentioned to you before, the county lord took me to the Dingbo Pavilion to meet the King of Xiang, and met Xue Gongzi with that Yu Shu, which shows that the two of them have a lot of friendship, you only met someone yesterday, let her enter the mansion today, and he came to visit today, it is a coincidence, you said that this Xue Gongzi will not come for others."

Ji Huaishan knew what she was referring to, frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "I guess he is not so reckless, and he will go and see him."
