Xiyan cooked several dishes with his hands and feet, steaming, the color looked pleasing to see, and he was very appetizing at first glance, and when Xiyan cooked all the dishes and the rice was cooked, Yun Shan and Xiyan brought the fragrant meal to the house together, and these people ate this delicious meal happily in the warm room.

When everyone was full of food and drink, a few big men went to the courtyard of Yunshan's house, built a simple kitchen for her with bricks, and built a stove in the kitchen, they thought that there was no well in this yard, so they simply gritted their teeth and made a well, Gongsun Auntie went back to her vegetable field to pick up some soil, spread it for Yunshan's yard, and watered the soil thoroughly, sprinkled seeds, this afternoon's work made everyone exhausted, and walked back to Xiyan's house, the sky was already dark.

Everyone had dinner together again, no matter how much Xiyan persuaded him, he couldn't persuade Yun Shan to stay here for a few more days, Yun Shan insisted on going home to live, not wanting to disturb them anymore, and when everyone finished dinner, Yun Shan took out a tael of silver from the cloth bag in her arms and stuffed it to Yun Zhibai, "Mr. Yun, if you have bits and pieces at home, help me change them, each of you will take two and a half dollars, none of you should be polite to me, help me do so much work, this is all right, if you don't accept it, I will hold the child and stand at the door of your house." ”

Aunt Gongsun and the others saw that Yun Shan's attitude was extremely resolute, so they had to nod, Yun Zhibai turned around and went to the back room to exchange the silver, and handed it to Aunt Gongsun, Zhao Dalang, and Yang Sanlang two dollars each, two more money, Yun Zhibai stuffed it back to Yun Shan, "You are alone with the child, there will be more places to need silver taels in the future, take it yourself." Yun Shan accepted the silver in a daze with tears in her eyes, and the group went to their own homes, Xiyan asked Yun Zhibai to send Yun Shan back, and Aunt Gongsun said, "It's so late, Mr. Yun, you still have to go to class tomorrow, let's just send Yun Xiaoniang back by the way." ”

Yun Zhibai and Xiyan had no choice but to stand at the gate of the courtyard, watching them leave with horse lanterns, Yun Shan walked into her small courtyard, and waved her hand at Aunt Gongsun, who said to her, "Be careful with your children alone, lock the door at night." Yun Shan responded well, and when she saw that Aunt Gongsun and the others were far away, she went back to the house and turned on the ever-bright lamp and closed the door.

The bedding on the bed has been laid out by Aunt Gongsun, the room is bright, and the ground is clean, Yun Shan hugged Yun Zhiying to the bed, Yun Zhiying happily climbed on it, Yun Shan sat at the desk under the window, looking at herself in the rhombic bronze mirror, she had eaten well and slept well in the past two days, her face was not as pale and rough as before, but a little ruddy, looking at herself in the bronze mirror, Yun Shan thought of Master Qian again.

Yun Shan thought about it and couldn't help crying bitterly, Yun Zhiying saw her aunt crying, and hurriedly crawled over and slapped the desk with her little hand, Yun Shan saw the child like this, and quickly smiled, "Zhiying, Auntie is happy, not sad, don't be afraid." Yun Shan stopped crying, now she is not living alone, there is the only blood of the Qian family, Master Qian is dead, people cannot be resurrected after death, and she and Zhiying still have to live strongly, thinking that she wiped the tears on her face with a handkerchief, and also went to bed, lying in the warm quilt, she felt as happy as being reborn, and it was a good day in the future, at night, Yun Shan had a sweet dream, this was the only good dream Yun Shan had since a year, and woke up the next day, Yun Shan looked at the clean pillow, this night, She never woke up crying again.

Yun Shan saw that Zhiying was still asleep, she gently got up and came to the courtyard, yesterday came back in the dark, but did not take a closer look at the courtyard, now she saw that the courtyard actually hit a well, probably afraid that children would climb in, the well was also blocked by a fence, Mr. Yun They are really careful, the kitchen has been prepared, Yun Shan saw that a whole row on the east side of the courtyard was piled with mud, presumably it was Gongsun Aunt and they carried it, this is really like a home, Yun Shan looked up at the sky, and thought silently in her heart, God, you let me pick up a life, I want to take Zhiying to grow up, and as for revenge, let's talk about it later.

In General Mo's mansion, Ye Wanqiu watched Yan'er take the silver needle and carefully probed all the dishes, and saw that the silver needle had not changed color, so he gave it to Ye Wanqiu, Ye Wanqiu was very strange in his heart, how Yan'er has been so careful in doing things in recent days, this drug test has been measured in the back kitchen before, and he took it, why is it brought to the house now, and he has to test it again.

"Madam, you can have breakfast, the smoke has been tested again, it is safe, eat quickly, Madame, this is almost cold." Saying that, Yan'er brought breakfast to Mrs., Ye Wanqiu ate breakfast, thought for a long time and then opened her mouth, "Yan'er, is something happening in the General's Mansion, you have to tell me, don't hide it from me, I have seen you do everything carefully these days, what, are you afraid that someone will poison you?"

Yan'er heard Madame say this, and her heart went up, but she still pretended that nothing had happened, and said to Madame with a smile, "Madam, look at what you said, who ate the gall of the ambitious leopard and dared to come to the General's Mansion to poison it, this was caught by the general, but it is not a dead end." ”

"That's right, this general's mansion is so heavily guarded every day, who will get the bad guys in? But why does this breakfast have to be tested twice a day?" Ye Wanqiu finished eating breakfast, and the servants removed the breakfast, and still asked with some hesitation.

"Madam, don't get to the bottom of it, this is what the general means, the general is not for your safety, madam, everything the general does is for your good, Madame is happy every day, which is the best reward for the general." Yan'er picked up the young general and said to the suspicious lady, I hope the lady doesn't notice anything.

The night before yesterday, the general suddenly called her over, and asked her if she had found any suspicious people in recent days, Yan'er recalled it vigorously, but still didn't think of suspicious people, and the general didn't say anything else, but just told her to check Mrs.'s meals twice a day in the future, and check them once in the back kitchen after they were burned, and re-test them again before Mrs. entered, and only after they were correct could they give Mrs. food, she was a little maid, naturally she didn't dare to ask the reason, but when she saw the general's serious expression, there was still a faint worry in her heart, Could it be that there are bad people who want to murder Madame and Major General? Anyway, since then, Yan'er has been more vigilant in doing things.

She felt that there were many more guardians of Zhiqiu Courtyard than before, and Qinglong and Chihu often visited Zhiqiu Courtyard, even Xiao Xiazi, when she saw her go to the back kitchen, she didn't smile anymore, and she did her work seriously, with an unusually serious expression, which made her suddenly remember the last time she bumped into Xiao Xiazi, Chunchan, Qinglong and Chihu in the kitchen, sneaky looks, did the four of them know something? But no matter how she pressed Xiao Xiazi, Xiao Xiazi just didn't say anything, just said that Yan'er was suspicious, anyway, it was always good to tell her to be cautious.

Ye Wanqiu is not easy to ask the general, the general is very busy these days, I heard that the Turks are about to move, I am afraid that there will be a war, these days General Mo set off to the palace in the morning, and returned home after dark, Ye Wanqiu saw the general's tired appearance, and did not want to go to the bottom of the inquiry, so he could only press this suspicion in his heart, no matter what, everything the general did was for the safety of himself and Yao'er, and he listened to the general.

So she also held back the worries in her heart, everything was like normal life, and when she saw Yan'er and Huan'er inspecting the two of them while eating, she didn't ask too much, even if there was any danger, she didn't think anything happened, so that the general could rest easy.

The days passed day by day, and the young general grew up day by day, from being able to sit, crawl, and walk, to being able to talk, a small mouth, the leaves were green and yellow, the flowers bloomed and thanked, in a blink of an eye, eight years have passed.

Eight years later, Yan'er and Huan'er chased after the young general, shouting as they ran, "Young General, stop running, come back quickly." Yan'er patted his chest, since the young general learned to walk, he regarded walking as a run, and the smoke disappeared, and the servants and maids of the general's mansion often chased him forward and backward, and there were many rockeries in this Zhiqiu Courtyard, and he also liked to hide in the rockery, and every time he let the slaves and maids find it easy, and several times it also alarmed Mrs.

Mo Xingyao looked back at the panting smoke and Yan'er, and actually laughed, he stomped his little feet, grabbed his cheeks out, and made a grimace, "Come on, come on, come and catch me." Although Mo Xingyao is only eight years old, he is bold, he likes to run around, watching those adults chase him to find him anxiously, every time he is happy to play this game of hide and seek, because the general's mansion is too boring, heavily guarded, he wants to sneak out, every time he walks to the gate of Zhiqiu Courtyard, he is hugged back by those guards, and his mother is too, he takes him every day to enjoy the flowers and tease the birds, he is really disgusted with such days.

"Young General, don't run anymore, you see your stomach growling when you run, go back to the Autumn Courtyard to eat pastries, how many generals like to eat pastries in the kitchen today, there are potpourri cakes, osmanthus cakes, golden cakes, glutinous rice cakes, too many delicious things, and fresh mare's milk, it's delicious, Hui'er, let's go to Xiao Xiazi to eat and drink, I don't think the young general is hungry." Yan'er deliberately rubbed her stomach and said to Huan'er, and Huan'er also said loudly, "Okay, then let's go to the kitchen Xiao Xiazi to eat, I am really hungry, tired and thirsty after running like this, I really want to drink goat's milk, my throat is going to smoke." ”
