048 Alert
Shen Changfeng took the little girl to copy the trail with ease, and after a while, he stunned her.
"Little brother, isn't the Qionghua Courtyard where the second lady lives also in the south? We've been walking for so long, why haven't we arrived yet? ”
Xie Jinci shook his dizzy head and asked about the doubts in his heart.
Shen Changfeng replied without being salty, pointing to the wall not far away, "See?" That's Qionghua-in. ”
Under the warm yellow lights, a corner of the delicate two-story pavilion can be seen, and the tall camphor branches and trees cross the white walls and green tiles, elegantly extending to the outside of the courtyard, casting a mottled shadow in the corner of the wall.
The little girl was thoughtful, and always felt that something was wrong.
It wasn't until the two of them approached the white wall that she suddenly realized, "Little brother, are we going the wrong way?" There's no gate here......"
"If there is no courtyard gate, isn't it Qionghua Courtyard?"
Shen Changfeng seriously pulled the crooked reasoning, glanced at the ignorant little girl beside him, and held back a smile, "What is my sister still stunned for?" Why don't you send the cat back? ”
Xie Jinci: "......"
So how is she going to send it? Penetrate through the walls?
"Tsk, I forgot, my sister is too short to reach the top of the wall."
The young man raised his eyebrows and stretched out a hand to the little girl, "Give it to me." ”
Xie Jinci was stunned, and he blankly freed out a hand and put it into the young man's palm.
The soft little hands are dyed with a little coolness because of the thin clothing, and the delicate fingertips are covered with a layer of coarse porridge as thin as cicada wings due to long-term washing and cooking.
Shen Changfeng narrowed his peach blossom eyes.
Somewhere in the bottom of his heart, there was a faint ripple that even he had not noticed.
He pretended that he didn't mean to have a cat, so he grabbed the little girl's hand and caught the white cat with his other hand.
Xie Jinci looked at the cat nervously, for fear that it would fall from a high place, and saw that it calmly maintained its balance, and meowed twice at himself, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Changfeng picked up a stone and threw it into the courtyard, and the sound was not loud or small, and it quickly attracted footsteps.
"Come on! Tangyuan is here! Second Miss's Persian cat has been found! ”
I heard a woman on the other side of the wall shouting loudly, and the miscellaneous footsteps immediately poured into one place.
Shen Changfeng led the little girl in the direction she was going to and fro, "After sending the cat, my sister should rest assured, right?" ”
Xie Jinci pouted dissatisfiedly, "What kind of cat, didn't you hear people call it tangyuan?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's a dumpling, it's not a cat. I just said it well, what is my sister doing so fiercely? I see, my sister is still angry with me, right? Tsk, that's stingy. ”
"Hmph, what do I have to be angry about? I don't care who the little brother cares about, I don't care! ”
"Listen to this tone, it's a little sour, if my sister continues to be sour, no one will take you to Chaoyu Courtyard."
"I, I don't say it...... Hum. ”
……
The night was thick, and the tall young man held a small group of people and stepped into Ling Heng Courtyard.
The sleeping Dabai heard the movement in the vestibule, twisted his chubby body and threw out, and before he could shout "rolling", he was looked back by Shen Changfeng with a look.
It drooped its neck aggrievedly and hid back in its bamboo cage.
Shen Changfeng kicked away the fan, put the little girl in his arms on the green bamboo bed, pulled the brocade quilt and covered her, and said with relief:
"It's finally stopped. I knew that my sister didn't eat soft and hard, so I should have chopped it back earlier, and I returned a cat in circles, phew, rice balls, what a waste of time. ”
When Xie Jinci woke up, his mind was in a fog, he was dizzy, and he didn't know the time.
The back of her neck ached, and it took her a lot of effort to sit up.
The room was silent.
She looked at the screen of Hanmei Lixue, but saw a light pink dress stacked next to the pillow.
Her dark and clear eyes lit up inch by inch, and she carefully picked up the dress and gently stretched it out.
The elegant color of the top, the neckline is inlaid with a circle of snow-white rabbit fur, and the pleated skirt is as white as fresh snow, and the blue line is outlined in it, which is a vivid pattern of butterflies playing with flowers.
It turned out to be the jacket skirt she fancied in Yinqing Broken Rain!
The little girl was surprised and delighted, holding the dress preciously, and the corners of her mouth curled and curved.
The dress appeared here, and it happened to be the one she liked, and it must have been secretly bought for her by the little brother.
The heart was full of joy, and soon a trace of resentment swept over it.
She didn't forget, the little brother said that he would take her to Chaoyu Courtyard, but somehow, she walked well, and suddenly it was dark in front of her, and she woke up to this scene, and her neck was still faintly painful.
The little brother broke his promise first, and after he knocked her out, even if he bought her a dress, she shouldn't forgive her!
There was a soft creak, and the fan was pushed away by a slender hand.
Shen Changfeng was wearing a newly bought azure jacket, his face was as white as paper, his lips were bloodless, he was lazily leaning on the door frame, and said with a smile:
"Since my sister is awake, I will quickly change into new clothes, come out to eat something to pad my stomach first, and there will be a family banquet in Wisteria Courtyard later, and you will have to boil it then."
Xie Jinci held his clothes, his round deer eyes glared at the young man, and before he could open his mouth to ask, he heard the guy say again: "It's the silver sprout porridge that Fugui specially bought from the Yuyu Pavilion, my sister should be faster." ”
Hearing that the porridge was bought by Fugui, the little girl was obviously excited.
Shen Changfeng knew what she wanted to ask, Yu Yumei raised his eyebrows, and turned around to leave her with a dashing back.
Xie Jinci puffed out his cheeks, jumped out of bed numbly, dressed and washed, quickly took care of himself, and hurried into the small kitchen.
In front of the square table, an elegant young man sat lazily, one leg unhonestly stepping on one end of the bench.
And the young man who was serving porridge for him and smiling honestly, who was it if he wasn't Fugui?
Xie Jinci's eyes flickered, and he rushed forward to look at Fugui, "Brother Fugui, you're fine, ...... last night"
"Sit down and eat porridge, and don't talk."
Uncle Shen interrupted her lightly.
The little girl pursed her lips and reluctantly sat across from the boy.
Fugui filled three bowls of porridge, sat down together very naturally, and said with a smile: "Ci'er, let's eat porridge first, last night's incident is not clear in one or two sentences, I'll explain it to you later!" You just need to know that we have a good master! You see, what master would be willing to eat at the same table as our subordinates? ”
He laughed so heartlessly, thinking that there was no accident when he came to cherish the cold.
Xie Jinci calmed down, eating porridge in small bites, and peeking at the young man opposite, full of doubts.
What is the little brother planning? Could it be that he didn't want to go to Chaoyu Courtyard last night, in fact, it wasn't because he didn't care about Fugui's life and death, but because he had already controlled everything?
Mrs. Guo sent Xihan to visit Chaoyuyuan, she was uneasy and kind, and the little brother came to help because she ...... Do you want to bite Mrs. Guo back?
The little girl's heavy thoughts were all written on her face.
Shen Changfeng raised an intriguing smile.
His little words, when he first entered the Shen Mansion, were as simple as a blank piece of paper, but now it has only been a month, and he has already learned to judge the situation.
It is a good thing to be smart, but if you don't learn to hide it, you are afraid that it will invite many disasters.
It's a real headache.
The flower hall of Wisteria Temple was carefully arranged early in the morning.
Impermeable bamboo curtains hang from the eaves on all sides, shielding from the cold, rows of low tables with pastries and hot tea, and a charcoal fire under a round table in the center of the room.
Just a little closer, it makes people feel warm.
Xie Jinci obediently followed behind Shen Changfeng, and as soon as he stepped on the stone steps outside the flower hall, he was grabbed by the mother-in-law who guarded the door.
"You girl who has no eyesight, it's all masters, can you go in? Honestly guarding the outside! ”
The woman's tone was not good, and with some force in her hands, she forced the little girl's white and tender ears to turn red.
Xie Jinci was so hurt that tears came out, and he hurriedly whispered: "Mom, let go!" I just don't go in! ”
Shen Changfeng heard the movement, his footsteps paused slightly, covered his lips and coughed lightly, and his face became even paler.
He smiled apologetically at his mother-in-law, and said softly: "It's all my fault, I didn't teach the rules of the people below, and I have to bother Mother Wang to control me more." ”
After speaking, he coughed twice, and his sick appearance looked as weak as he could.
Mother Wang's eyes showed contempt, she snorted tepidly, her head was raised, and she said in a strange manner:
"Where did the fourth son say, it really tormented the old woman and me, the left and right are just disciplining an ignorant little girl, where can I afford the child's trouble."
Shen Changfeng bowed slightly, lifted the heavy bamboo curtain, and slowly stepped into the flower hall.
Mother Wang spat in the direction he left, and rudely pulled Xie Jinci aside, "It's worthy of being a person who serves sick seedlings, I don't know any rules, I'll go to the back kitchen with me later, and I'll go back with a tank of water before I can go back!" ”
Xie Jinci was very aggrieved in his heart, and before he could say a few words, another voice suddenly sounded: "Mother Wang, when will it be your turn to take care of that little matter in the back kitchen?" ”
The little girl turned her head and saw that the oncoming mother-in-law was slightly strong, and it was Mother Wu, the housekeeper of the big house.
Her heart sank, and she hurriedly lowered her head and saluted.
"Ah, this is Mother Wu misunderstood me!"
Mother Wang glanced at Xie Jinci inexplicably, with a smile on her face, "It's this dead girl who doesn't understand the rules, I just want to teach her!" ”
"You don't have to teach."
Mother Wu approached her with a gloomy face, and lowered her voice: "This girl is now the eldest lady's person, if you dare to touch her, be careful of your skin!" ”
Mother Wang was so frightened that she shuddered, squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, hooked her waist and said to Xie Jinci: "Ouch, I didn't hurt you, did I?" It's all mother-in-law and my hands are heavy, don't take it to heart......"
Xie Jinci frowned and did not speak.
Wu's mother's words, although she deliberately lowered her voice, she still heard it clearly.
When did she become Mrs. Guo's person? Because of those two packets of powder?
The little girl thought for a while, and thought of the little brother's pretended illness today, and she couldn't help but understand in her heart.
The little brother pretended to be sick, in fact, to protect her!
If Mrs. Guo knew that she was not poisoned at all, the fate of Nan Rong and Nan Shuang might be her fate.
Thinking of this, she raised her head to look at Mother Wu's wrinkled face, and her clear deer eyes were dyed with a little disgust.
And when Mother Wu looked at her, she blinked her eyes quietly, and she suppressed those emotions that could not be shown.
She didn't know why she was so vigilant, probably she learned it from her little brother, right?
In Ling Heng Courtyard, the true temperament can be revealed at will, but in the Wisteria Courtyard, if you want to live in peace, you have to learn to disguise.
