After Mingyun returned to Miaoyuan, he felt that the atmosphere in the courtyard was not right, and everyone was cautious, and they didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere. When she returned to the house, she sent someone out to inquire, but after a while, they returned.

Ah Wei listened to the reply at the door, and then went into the house and relayed it to Mingyun: "Master, just now the slave maid asked Ah Qing to ask a few words tentatively, and the people in the courtyard only said that the lady was in a bad mood and lost her temper. But as for why, they don't know. ”

Mingyun squatted in front of the rabbit nest, touched the white rabbit dumplings that were squatting in the nest and eating quietly, without raising his head, and said, "If you don't know, just don't worry." Nine out of ten days my mother was unhappy. Presumably, she hasn't been very willing to see me lately, so she guesses. ”

Ah Wei pursed her lips, hummed softly, and didn't speak again.

On the small table of the soft couch in the room is placed a small basket and a lacquered box, and in the basket is a pile of threads, and the box is full of colored beads. After the rabbit finished grazing, Mingyun sat on the couch with her white dumplings, picked out a red agate bead with her fingers in the bead box.

Mingyun asked Ah Wei: "Do you think this color is beautiful?" ”

Ah Wei said: "This is the red agate produced in Xirong, which is naturally beautiful." ”

Mingyun pinched the bead and turned it around at his fingertips, then threw it back and said, "The color is not correct enough, you go and pick it again." ”

"Isn't that right? The slave and maid look pretty beautiful. Awei said.

"You're going to pick and choose." Mingyun said.

Ah Wei laughed and said: "Master, you see the sky and let the slave and maid pick the beads, the slave and maid have to pick flowers in their eyes, it's just a tassel, wouldn't it be good to do it casually?" ”

Mingyun glanced at Ah Wei and said, "You talk a lot." ”

Ah Wei covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry about the master, the slave will go down and pick it now." ”

Not long after Ah Wei went down, Xian Yu Nu came over. When Xian Yu Nu entered the house, Mingyun was stumbling with a little chaotic color line in the room. She has never been good at making these careful things, and a pair of slender and dexterous hands are very clumsy at this time, and she can't get it right no matter how she does it over and over again.

Mingyun saw that Xian Yu Nu had come in, so he threw a bunch of knotted threads onto the small case, and held his head a little irritably.

Xianyu Nu brought a basket of plum blossom branches, she handed the flower branches to the little maid, and said, "I see that the plum blossoms are blooming well outside, so I will pick some for you to insert in the bottle." Well? What are you doing here? ”

Mingyun said: "Tie the knot." ”

"Robbery?" Xian Yu Nu said funny: "Your knot really looks like a robbery." What kind of tricks do you want to make? I'll help you, our Xianyu women are the best at weaving knots. ”

Mingyun's eyes lit up slightly: "That's good, then you teach me." ”

Xian Yu Nu also sat on the other side of the small case and asked, "Then what do you want to do?" ”

Mingyun said: "I want to be a sword spike." ”

Xian Yu Nu said: "That's easy to do, why don't you make an eight-treasure flower knot?" It's simple and good-looking. She picked out five threads from the basket of threads, tied a knot at the top, and asked Mingyun to pull one end and start braiding.

Mingyun saw Xian Yunu's hands quickly weaving and weaving, her eyes couldn't help but widen, and she said, "Is it so complicated?" What can I learn? ”

Xianyu Nu "Seeing that you are frowning and braiding ropes, you must also be giving it away, since you are giving it away, you still have to do it decently." The eight-treasure knot seems complicated, but it is not too difficult, and after understanding the rules, you can make it with your eyes closed. ”

Mingyun smiled awkwardly and said, "You can, but I can't." ”

Xian Yu Nu raised her eyes to look at Ming Yun and said with a smile: "You can." ”

After a while, Ah Wei came over with a box of freshly picked agate beads. She first gave Xian Yu Nu a salute, and then held the bead box in front of Mingyun's eyes and asked, "Master, how is this time?" I deliberately picked out the more precious blood agate. ”

Mingyun grabbed a few, looked at them in his palm, nodded, and said, "Well, it's okay." ”

Ah Wei said: "If the blood agate is still acceptable, the slave and maid can't find a better one, you can only go with your wife to ask for the key to the treasure house." ”

Mingyun knocked Ah Wei's head, glared at her, and said, "Mouthy." ”

Taking advantage of the winter sun, Xian Yu Nu began to teach Mingyun to weave flower ropes, she taught carefully, and slowly made it for Mingyun to see. It's just that Mingyun really doesn't have any talent, he's clumsy, and he's a mess of learning.

Half an hour later, Mingyun looked at the ugly half-finished product in his hand and threw it into the basket irritably.

Xian Yu Nu took it out of the basket, looked at it, and said with a smile: "It's really ugly, but it's good to do it for the first time." If you feel that the tassels are not tied evenly, then you can also make beads, which is easier. ”

Mingyun sighed, fell on the table, and muttered, "It's tedious, it's better to let Ah Wei do it." ”

Ah Wei knelt on the opposite side of the desk, and was placing a plate of preserved fruits, when she was suddenly named, raised her head, and said with a smile: "Master, if you let the slave and maid do it, the slave and maid will definitely obey the order." However, you promised others to do it yourself, is it a lack of sincerity to regret it halfway? ”

Mingyun was still lying on his stomach, picked up a small silver fork and inserted a piece of honey-stained preserved peach into his mouth, and said, "What sincerity do you want?" The things I make are so ugly that it will only be embarrassing to give them away. ”

Ah Wei said: "How come, it's important to focus on the mind." ”

Xian Yu Nu also nodded and said, "Yes, the things that are given away are important to the heart, and whether they look good or not is secondary." She asked for a multi-compartment small box with the little maid, picked up the two boxes of small beads on the table, and then sorted them out according to the color, size, and material, and put them in one compartment.

"These beads are used to wear beads, all with holes, I will help you get the beads right, and you can string them according to your own ideas in a while." Xianyu Nu said.

Mingyun was still lying on the small case, a little lazy and didn't want to move.

Xian Yu Nu persuaded: "Hurry, take it." As she spoke, she handed Mingyun a bead thread with a single end knotted.

Mingyun pursed her lips, finally got up with her elbows up, and pinched out a fiery red agate bead from the box.

The winter sun goes down early, and when it comes to the palm lamp, the bead string is just finished. Mingyun looked at the finished product in his hand and pouted dissatisfied.

Xianyu Nu smiled and said, "It's good." ”

Mingyun put away the tassels and said, "Thank you today, you helped me a lot." ”

"It's a distraction, but it's not worth the kindness you have to me. I sincerely thank you for the events of that day, if it weren't for you, they wouldn't even have a decent way to die, and they would have been eaten by vicious dogs a long time ago. It is you who have fulfilled their last dignity. Xian Yu Nu whispered under the lamp.

Mingyun didn't know what to say, and such a heavy conversation made her not know what to answer.

Xian Yu Nu only smiled and said, "You don't have to answer. I'm here to be nice to you, but I don't want to embarrass you. It's getting early today, so I'll go back. ”

"I'll send you." Mingyun got up and said.

Xian Yu Nu stopped her with a smile and said, "Don't send it, our identities are different, my identity is not worthy of your send, you can let the maid print me out." ”

Mingyun frowned and said, "But I don't care." ”

Xianyu Nu lowered her eyes and smiled shallowly, and said, "I don't care about that. If I hadn't had a little worry left in my heart, I would have died by now. It is a shame to be alive and to survive in the enemy's mansion as I am now. ”

Mingyun stroked Xian Yunu's hand and said, "Don't say that. ”

Xian Yu Nu touched the back of Mingyun's hand and said, "Sometimes, although people are alive, their hearts are dead. The soul is gone, and all that is alive is a pile of meat that can eat. I know that you will not stay long in the king's capital, and if you hear that I am dead one day when you are in Quwo, you should rejoice for me. That means I have no worries and peace to enjoy. ”

Xian Yu Nu saw that Mingyun frowned tightly, stretched out her index finger and pressed it to Mingyun's eyebrows, rubbed it gently, smoothed her eyebrows for her, and said, "Don't frown, it won't look good if you frown." You are the grandson and daughter of Jin Zun and Yu, and you should be happy every day. ”

Mingyun said: "It's hard to be happy every day." ”

Xianyu Nu nodded her forehead and said, "Then Bennu work hard, work hard and be happier." ”

Xian Yunu's fingertips are slender and slightly cool, and Mingyun's forehead is itchy.

Mingyun couldn't help blinking lightly, her eyelashes fluttering. She asked, "I heard that your current name, Shepper, is not your original name. ”

Xian Yu Nu nodded, "um", and said, "It's not true." My life has died with my heart, and using a new name can make me more comfortable. When others called me Shepper, I agreed, but I felt in my heart that it was not me. ”

Mingyun pursed her lips and asked, "So, what is your real name?" Can I know? ”

"If it's you, you can." Xian Yu Nu laughed, she used her fingertips to help Mingyun comb the broken hair in front of her forehead, then held Mingyun's hand, wrote her name on her palm with her fingers, and said, "My name is Hua Zhen." ”

Mingyun repeated: "Hua Zhen." ”

Xian Yu Nu responded with a smile and said, "If you call me, I will not be Xuepo, but Hua Zhen." ”

The lights were shadowy, and the flames jumped on the lampstand, and in the dim night, the blazing fire flickered, stretching the shadows of the two.

Hua Zhen let go of Mingyun's hand and said, "It's getting late, I really want to go back." I'm leaving. ”

Mingyun sighed slightly and said, "Then I really won't send you." ”

Hua Zhen said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you send it or not, just send it to your heart." I'm leaving. With that, Hua Ji put on his cloak and walked out of the house. When she walked to the door, she turned to Ming Yun and smiled again, and said, "Before the end of the year, if you don't return to Quwo, I will come to look for you more, as long as Ah Yun doesn't bother me." ”

"As long as it's Hua Zhen, I won't be bothered." Mingyun said.

Xian Yu's eyes lowered slightly, and said: "It's only you here, I can be myself for a while, and when I get out of this room, I will still be Xuepo." She gathered her cloak and turned around, "Let's go." With that, she pushed open the door and walked out.

It was already dark outside.

Mingyun stood at the door of the room, watching Hua Zhen's figure slowly walk in the corridor of the black hole, walking farther and farther until it was completely hidden in the darkness.
