Chapter 2 Brothers and Sisters

Yu Jing was helped out of the ancestral hall, the boy's body was not strong, and his height was lower than her, and he struggled slightly to support her who was about to faint from hunger, and his steps were a little staggering.

As soon as she went outside, Yu Jing confirmed that she had indeed come to ancient times, this building with carved beams and painted buildings, and the staggered arches of the building, she had only seen it in places of interest before, bathed in the halo of moonlight, it was so unrealistic, but it was real and visible.

Zhilu said that this boy was her predecessor's younger brother, and he couldn't help but see that something was wrong, Yu Jing didn't take the initiative to speak, and the boy was also silent.

Yu Jing didn't meet anyone on the way, and at first she didn't notice that the boy was taking her on a secluded path, until they walked more and more remotely, through the magnificent buildings, through the groves, and in front of a row of low old bungalows.

There were about four or five houses in this row, and in the courtyard there were two middle-aged women in old jackets and long skirts fetching water at a well.

"Alas, why didn't the little young master call the slave when he went to pick up the young lady, such a long way, the black light is blind, how is it good to stumble again, come, I will help the young lady, you go open the door."

Master? Miss? Although the people here had a little southern accent, it didn't prevent Yu Jing from listening to them, she looked up at the dilapidated house in front of her, and then thought about the exquisite buildings just now, she couldn't help but wonder, since she was a young master, how could she live in such a place where people obviously lived?

"Xie Lu, thank you, Aunt Liu."

The boy thanked him, and Yu Jing gave way to the woman while he ran forward and opened a room in the westernmost corner of the courtyard.

Replaced by an adult to support, Yu Qing finally didn't have to support half of her body to relieve the other party's burden, she was carried by Aunt Liu to the door, and relied on the moonlight outside the house to see that the boy skillfully led the fire and lit the oil lamp on the wooden table.

"Little master, I'll get you something to eat, you can quickly scoop up some water for the young lady to drink, this has been locked up for three days."

Aunt Liu will help Jing to lie down on the bed, and then hurriedly go out.

The boy poured a bowl of warm water and helped Yu Jing feed her to drink, and then fished out a wooden basin behind the door and went outside to fetch water.

Yu Jing really didn't have the strength to help, lying on the bed, looking at the room with a slanted gaze, less than ten square meters, the ground was rough, the furniture was only a set of tables and chairs at the door, and two old wooden cabinets by the wall, and then two narrow wooden beds.

Yu Jing, who is proficient in mathematics and physics, does not have much involvement in history and literature, and it is impossible to judge which dynasty she is in now based on what she has seen so far.

Where is this? Why is she locked up? Why is she a young lady living with a subordinate? What is her name now?

These are the things that Yu Jing needs to figure out urgently, turning her head, she looked at the child who was busy going in and out, and couldn't help but think of Xiao Lei again, did he know that something had happened to him, and his parents should hide it from him first when they received the news, right?

I hope they don't feel too sad and live well, so that she can feel at ease in another world.

"Little brother." Yu Jing shouted, she didn't know what to call her younger brother now, so she chose the most commonly used title.

The boy, who was putting the clothes dried in the yard back to the cupboard, turned his head, looked at her a little strangely, and then, as if thinking of something, turned his head back again, and said coldly:

"You just be honest for a few days, don't think about causing trouble again, although the fourth lady said that she went back to the capital yesterday, but the matter of you breaking her jade pendant, the old lady has not lost her anger now, and if you are criticized again, it will not be in the ancestral hall for a few days."

This child is not close to herself, Yu Jingxin said, but compared to this, what is even more incomprehensible to her is that the reason why her predecessor was locked up and died was simply because she broke a piece of jade pendant!

Who is Miss Four? Isn't her predecessor also a young lady?

"Come on, little master, come and eat, the slave has cooked noodles, and they are hot."

Aunt Liu walked into the house with two large bowls of hot noodles, put one bowl on the table, urged the boy to eat, brought the other bowl to the bedside, helped Yu Jing up, and sat on the edge of the bed to feed her.

A bowl of noodle soup, light soup, only a few vegetable leaves floating, Yu Jing was already overhungry and had no appetite, but she knew that her body couldn't stand it if she didn't eat anymore, so she obediently opened her mouth and was fed by her.

She was distracted to look at the boy, and saw him sitting at the table holding a large bowl of noodles, sucking and eating with relish, and the sweet and salty noodle soup in his mouth could not be tasted.

***

Yu Jing lay in bed for three days before recovering, the three days of eating and drinking were all taken care of by Aunt Liu, Yu Xiu had to go to the school in the morning and come back in the afternoon, unless there was something important, he basically wouldn't talk to her.

Thanks to Aunt Liu's enthusiasm and talkativeness, Yu Jing knocked on the side and asked some information that she wanted to know about Lu Dao, only to know why a young lady wanted to live with her subordinates.

Because she is not the young lady of this family at all, but the oil bottle that remarried with her mother with her younger brother, the family's surname is Ji, and the biological mother of their sister and brother is just a concubine in the courtyard of the third master, and she is not favored.

And the reason why she will be locked up in the inner wall of this ancestral hall is because she broke a piece of jade pendant of the fourth lady of the second master's family, the third master doesn't care about things at home, Aunt Cui is timid and afraid of causing trouble, and no one helps to intercede, so she was thrown into the ancestral hall by the old lady in anger and locked up for three days.

Listening to Aunt Liu's tone, Yu Jing knew how unliked she was in this family.

Aunt Cui only came to see her yesterday, and told her not to cause trouble again, without asking her body, she threw a few copper plates and sent her away, which was her own mother.

Yu Jing didn't say in her previous life that everyone loved flowers and flowers, but she was not bad and had a lot of friends, but now she became a drag oil bottle that her father didn't love her mother, and even her younger brother hated.

also changed to a decaying name - Yu Shu, the remainder, is the annoying part that can't be divisible, which makes her embarrassed to deal with numbers all day before.

After being depressed for an afternoon, Yu Jing accepted her fate, her name is now Yu Shu, she has a younger brother named Yu Xiu, and a mother who is indifferent to them as a concubine.

Thanks to her optimistic nature, she was able to accept such a reality in such a short period of time, otherwise she would not have been able to take on the burden of supporting the whole family by herself after her parents were laid off and her younger brother was disabled.

"Miss, you have to learn a lesson this time, don't make trouble again, wait until tomorrow to go to the private school, learn some proper skills from Mr., don't let the little master always be implicated by you."

This is the most common sentence that Aunt Liu has said these days, which made Yu Shu guess that she was an ignorant little girl before, and she really didn't know what Lu Dao had done to Yu Xiu, so that her only brother hated her like that, and she didn't want to say a word to her.

"Zhilu said, Aunt Liu." Yu Shu has heard Yu Xiu's accent when she speaks, and her throat is hoarse, so it is not a problem to barely imitate a tune, and if you don't pay special attention, you won't find that there is a problem with her accent.

The noon sun was very good, Aunt Liu was sitting in the yard choosing vegetables, Yu Jing moved a stool from the house, talked to her on the side, and wanted to take a hand, but she didn't allow it.

Aunt Liu came to the Ji family with Aunt Cui, and she was a miscellaneous person in this backyard, and she was the only one who insisted on calling Yu Shu and Miss Yu Xiu.

"The little master is back from school." Aunt Liu said hello in a loud voice, Yu Shu turned her head when she heard the sound, and saw Yu Xiu holding a gray cloth bag, bowing his head and entering the small courtyard that was not even equipped with a door.

Yu Shu is fifteen years old this year, her younger brother Yu Xiu is two years younger than her, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, it is the age of growing the body, he is shorter than her, with a thin figure, a soap towel wrapped on his head, and a gown that does not fit, he looks shabby.

This reminded Yu Shu of the pink silk skirt in the cabinet, when she was home alone these days, she rummaged through the room, and only found such a decent dress, and the others were some coarse old clothes.

The sisters and brothers are in the Ji family, except that they don't have to work to eat, and they can also go to the school to study, there is no significant difference between them and the subordinates, there are still a few subordinates living in this small courtyard, and when they see them, they either ignore them or call them by name.

"Aunt Liu." Yu Xiu said hello to Aunt Liu, only glanced at Yu Shu, and then bowed his head and went back to the house.

Yu Shu noticed that there was something unusual in his steps, so he said to Aunt Liu and followed Yu Xiu into the house.

"Minor repairs." Yu Shu screamed, Yu Xiu ignored her, and put the gray cloth bag for the book on the head of his bed.

Yu Shu was a little uncomfortable with this child's stone-like personality, and he didn't dare to show too close to him at once to provoke him to rebound, so he had to give up the plan to talk to him first, and while pouring him water to drink, he stared at his back and thought.

This careful look made her find the difference, the gown on Yu Xiu's body was changed in the morning, but it was crumpled at this time, and there was some dirt on the back, which seemed to be the shape of footprints, coupled with his slow steps, she couldn't help but associate her with being a good sister for more than 20 years-

The kid got into a fight.

She walked over quietly with the tea bowl, and when she looked closely, it was to verify her guess, no wonder Yu Xiu lowered his head when he came back, it turned out that he had a big blue on his forehead, the skin on his mouth was broken, and there was faint bloodshots.

Yu Shu's heart was on fire for a while, her temper was actually not good, in her last life, because of her poor family background, she didn't eat well, she didn't dress well, when she was in middle school, her younger brother Yu Lei was not less blinded, he was bullied at school, he was afraid that his parents would worry, and every time he was beaten, he was hidden from his family, and later she was found out by studying in high school, for a while, every day after school, she took her friends to follow Yu Lei to teach the group of stinky boys, and never let people bully her younger brother.

In her concept, as an older sister, she should take care of her younger brother and be beaten, which is absolutely not okay!

"I'm almost in good health, I'll go to school with you tomorrow." Yu Shu stuffed the tea bowl into Yu Xiu's hand, in order to leave some dignity for the child, pretended not to see the wound on his face, turned his head but gritted his teeth.

Yu Xiu looked at his sister's back who pretended to be okay after he was bullied for the first time, touched his swollen forehead, and his still immature face was first disappointed, and then replaced by self-deprecation.
