In the distance, the top of the mountain is covered with snow, a round of sun is about to set, and the red glow in the west seems to wave a gorgeous scarf. Between the membranes, the peaks and the leaves of the trees all over the mountains are gilded with a golden yellow. The evening breeze blew, and the trees shook a dusk song. The scattered wooden houses are hidden in the colorful sunset, which is as delicate as a fairy tale and as beautiful as a dream.

Deep in the courtyard, on a small two-story building built against the mountain. A woman leaned lightly against the small window, looking at the sunset in the west.

"Miss, I'm back." Jin Ju pushed open the door of the boudoir and walked in.

Ma Xiuying slowly retracted her eyes, looked at Jin Ju who came in, and said faintly: "Look at your spring face full of affection, it's not Sichun." ”

Jin Ju lowered her head, blushed and said softly: "If there is anything, Miss will make fun of others; Besides, the young lady hasn't found Ruyi Langjun yet, how dare Jin Ju think nonsense"

Ma Xiuying chuckled and said, "It's strange to believe you, you have been with me for many years, how can you hide that little bit of caution from me." ”

Jin Ju lowered her head, and a pair of small hands twisted the corners of her clothes like a mosquito and said, "Miss, there are really no slaves." The voice was shy, aggrieved, and tears rolled in his eyes.

Ma Xiuying sighed and said, "Okay, Jin Ju, my sister is just joking with you; After I left my father, we relied on each other for our lives and sent people under the fence, but fortunately Uncle Guo took him in, so we have a stable life now. ”

Jin Ju saw that Ma Xiuying didn't misunderstand herself, and her heart rose.

Ma Xiuying took Jin Ju's hand and gently shook it: "We grew up together and shared weal and woe; In my heart, you are my own sister; You really have a pleasant person, my sister is happy. If you like which Lang Jun you like, don't hide it in your heart, say it and let my sister help you check it, don't let people deceive my sister Jin Ju. ”

"What does the young lady say, how can I have such a mind; When I was a child, I was in trouble, but if I didn't meet the young lady to take me in, Jin Ju had already starved to death in the wilderness and turned into a pile of white bones; Miss's great kindness is beyond repayment, Jin Ju will never marry in this life, and is willing to serve Miss for a lifetime. Jin Ju felt a deep sense of gratitude in her heart, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Ma Xiuying took Jin Ju's little hand and said angrily, "How many times have I told you before, call me sister in private; You can't remember, and you said that you would repay me, so you lied to me. ”

Jin Ju was excited by Ma Xiuying's words, and couldn't help but feel terrified, so she had to call her sister.

Ma Xiuying was happy and said: "You said what you said before, and my sister can remember it in my heart." Look at my sister's big feet, the man can see it. It is said that in the future, he will cut his hair as a nun and often accompany the green light; Or find someone who looks like a king and become that person's eighth wife; Would you like to follow along? ”

Jin Ju saw that Ma Xiuying said something interesting, and couldn't help but smile slightly with her lips open: "Whether the young lady is an eighth woman in the future, or a nun's little sister, she will follow her sister." I don't know which monk or king will be in the future. Wang Ba has this blessing, marrying a sinking fish and a goose like his sister, closing the moon and being ashamed of flowers, gentle and kind, and having both virtue and integrity, which is the blessing he has cultivated in his previous life. ”

Thinking of the scene of holding a king in his hand and young lady Feng Guanxia worshipping together, Jin Ju couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Ma Xiuying has been with her for many years, how can she hide what she thinks in her heart, and when she sees her expression, she can't help but say: "You damn girl, let you laugh at your sister; If you really marry Wang Ba, I will let you eat and sleep all day long and hold it. ”

Jin Ju took it seriously, her pretty face was bitter, her slightly pale face changed, and she muttered to herself: "If it is really what Miss said, she will not be disgusted to death, thinking of that scene, she couldn't help but shudder and said: "Sister, marriage is not a child's play, you have to think about it carefully; It's better to be a monk, at least you won't touch the cold shivering person, and the name is better. ”

Looking at Jin Ju's panicked appearance, Ma Xiuying felt happy for a while, and said with a smile: "Wang Ba is good, my sister will not look at its face when the time comes, and she will not be controlled by it, and she will be happy and free; You're miserable, call it a husband, it stretches its neck, touches it, and its neck retracts into its belly, that feeling, hehe."

Jin Ju couldn't help Ma Xiuying's teasing, and finally cried; That's really the end of the world, how can she live?

Ma Xiuying saw that Jin Ju was scared to cry by herself, and knew that it was a little too much, so she hurriedly straightened her face, gently patted Jin Ju's fragrant shoulder, and said softly: "Hey.. Don't cry, don't cry, look at you crying like a little cat, my sister is scaring you, if you want to marry, your sister has to be eye-catching, and she won't wronged you. If you are seen like this, you must not die of laughter. ”

Jin Ju wiped the faint tears from the corners of her eyes and grinned: "That's good, that's good, my sister is not an ordinary woman, how can anyone get married; My sister is making fun of my little sister again, except for my sister, who dares to get close to Xiulou here. ”

"yes!" As he spoke, a trace of sadness slowly crept up his face.

"Is my sister worried about my lord?" Jin Ju wiped the corners of his eyes and said.

Ma Xiuying nodded and said, "Uncle and the eldest young master have been out for more than ten days, and now there is no news; There is chaos outside, and I don't know what happened to them? ”

"Don't worry, Miss, the old man and the young master will go back to the house this time, and bring the old lady and the second lady to this courtyard, there are many guards, and they should be safe; Maybe there is something in the house that has been delayed. Jin Ju comforted.

Ma Xiuying got up and stomped a few steps, nodded and frowned: "I hope so!" ”

"But as soon as the second lady came, according to her small and jealous nature, we could bear it; Thinking of us like she used to do, I want to slap her stinky face, tear her stinky mouth, and kick her ass; But.. Hey, I'm afraid that such a quiet and peaceful day in this annex is coming to an end. Jin Ju gritted his teeth and said hatefully

Ma Xiuying sighed leisurely and said: "Uncle loves me very much, so he will share half of his love for her, and it is common to have resentment in my heart; Let her do a lot, we have always been led by our uncle to this family, and we have the grace of taking in and nurturing us. ”

"It's just that the young lady is too generous and kind, and the second young lady who is used to it is even more powerful in her eyes." The hateful Jin Ju took the tea on the table and drank it all, his mouth was cold, and he choked and coughed.

Ma Xiuying glanced at Jin Ju and said, "I don't care if I speak, I deserve to choke you to death." As she spoke, she got up and picked up the teapot on the charcoal stove and refilled a cup of hot tea: "Uncle moved his family to the other courtyard this time, thinking that the situation outside is becoming more and more chaotic and dangerous. ”

"Sister, rest assured, Jiren has his own natural appearance; A good man like my lord will have a safe journey. Jin Ju comforted.

Ma Xiuying nodded helplessly and said, "I hope so, I ask the Western Heavenly God Buddha to bless my uncle and his party to return safely." Saying that, the monk couldn't help but think of the intoxication of the firewood room and asked Jin Ju: "What happened to the little monk, do you find anything abnormal?" ”

"Miss knows about the previous situation" Jin Ju thought for a while and said, "The little monk should be fine, but he asked me about the names of the master and the young lady; He often talks nonsense, and occasionally his demeanor is very strange, especially during the period when he is in a coma, saying what company network management, what going home on a blind date, etc. ”

Ma Xiuying sat at the table, holding her cheek in her right hand and thinking slightly: "This person talks and behaves strangely, it seems that he must not be an ordinary person; If he is really victimized by the bandits, and he is in trouble here, when his injuries are healed, prepare some silver taels to send him down the mountain; Now in extraordinary times, lest Steward Jia and his uncle know that they have killed him in vain; If he is suspicious, he will naturally have no return. As she spoke, she looked at Jin Ju and said, "You should be more careful these days, and don't let him do anything that is not conducive to our safety." ”

Jin Ju straightened her full chest and said, "Sister don't worry, my little sister knows what to do." She thought for a while and said, "Sister, if he is not an ordinary person, have you ever thought about letting him stay and help the master do things?" ”

Ma Xiuying said: "I haven't thought about this, my uncle is now eager to recruit talents, and he invites eight heroes; The people he fancies are either literate and scheming, or they are wide and wide-bodied; Look at the white and pure life, the body is weak and can't help the wind; I don't know where he comes from, what is outstanding, and it should be difficult for my uncle to keep him. ”

Ma Xiuying suddenly looked at Jin Ju with strange eyes and said: "Are you used to seeing a coarse man, and you are reluctant to meet a handsome man, and you want to keep him before you say this; Honestly, yes and no? ”

Jin Ju said with a twist: "Sister came to make fun of me again, the monk only knows how to chant scriptures, and he knows the things of men and women; I went to the kitchen to see if the food was ready, and it was all starving to death. After saying that, she didn't care about Ma Xiuying, and hurriedly walked out.

Ma Xiuying looked at Jin Ju's departing figure, and an inexplicable sense of irritability surged in her heart.
