Chapter 27: Someone
In the spring, it is rainy in the mountains, and in the afternoon the sky is overcast, and there is a rumbling thunder from time to time.
The old lady of the Ye family has been rheumatism for many years, and she is most afraid of this kind of humid weather, and she can't drink medicine and sleep at dinner, she doesn't come, and the Ye family will not see the Yun family alone, so the dinner becomes a family banquet, which is much simpler.
Considering that the girls are all older, the six girls should avoid suspicion when they talk about marriage now.
In order to take care of the guests and not behave too small, the old lady ordered someone to borrow a fan screen to block between the two tables, Yun Zimo, Xie Zongren and the old lady sat at the main table, and Yun Xiu, Yun Yan, Yun Shu and Aunt Ding sat in the women's seat.
Aunt Ding used the excuse that the seventh girl was not in good health, and the two were absent, which caused the old lady to be dissatisfied.
"Serve." The old lady didn't have the patience to wait any longer, so she called out to Mother Fang.
Fang's mother went out with her hands and feet, and after a while, a few girls came in with a plate of vegetarian fish.
There are many rules in Yunfu, eating and sleeping silently, the old lady is in a bad mood and doesn't want to speak, the juniors at the two tables don't dare to make a sound, and a meal becomes extremely depressing.
After a room of people finished eating, they went back to the house, Yun Yan pulled Yun Xiu to walk at the back, deliberately pulled out a distance, and then whispered: "That Xie Gongzi just now, it seems that he has been looking at you through the screen." β
"Sixth sister," Yun Xiu interrupted softly, glancing at the old lady walking in front, and then said, "Grandmother doesn't like people behind her back, not to mention that the guests haven't left yet." β
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, and her whole face suddenly turned red, and her head was lowered.
Yun Xiu felt that the six girls were sometimes like a mallet, I don't know if the house had been neglected for a long time, or if she had been snubbed because she couldn't speak, she was not easy to say much at the moment, so she simply excused herself and parted ways with everyone.
"Girl, the words just now are going to reach Aunt Ding's ears, and I don't know what trouble is going to happen." Chun Tao turned around and saw that she was far away, and complained in a low voice.
"It's raining." Yun Xiu didn't want to continue the topic just now, reached out to the verandah, felt the cool and thin raindrops, calmed down the irritability, and turned his head and said, "I don't want to go back now, walk with me." β
Chun Tao took the order and raised the lantern to illuminate the square inch at his feet.
On a rainy day, it gets dark early, Daming Temple, located halfway up the mountain, is like a halo in the thick ink that can't be dissolved, Yun Xiu looked at the atrium for a while, and didn't see anything, but her heart was still not steady, and she felt that someone was staring at her.
"Girl, girl?" Chun Tao screamed twice before she came back to her senses.
"You don't have a good face." Chun Tao whispered, "Why don't you go back, it's getting cold outside." β
There was a chill in the air.
Yun Xiu took a deep breath, her internal organs seemed to be cool, and she was much more sober, she pointed to the rain shelter in the scripture building: "Go over there to rest, go back now, my grandmother will definitely call me over, I don't want to see Gongzi Xie." β
"Okay, okay." Chun Tao suddenly, the chick pecked the rice and nodded, holding up the lantern to light the road ahead, "Girl, be careful of your step." β
The rain shelter of the building, south-facing, "concave" shape, is a good place to watch the scenery, but at the moment, in addition to the papier-mΓ’chΓ© lanterns under the eaves, it is dark in the distance.
Yun Xiu stood under the porch to kill time, with nothing to do, staring at one place in a daze.
Chun Tao was accompanied, cold and sleepy, and when he yawned silently for the third time, he suddenly saw a dark shadow flashing silently on another terrace across a short corridor, and he was suddenly so frightened that he dozed off completely.
"Aunt, girl......" Chun Tao's voice trembled a little, and her hands and feet stiffly pulled Yun Xiu's sleeve, "Then, it's good over there, there seems to be someone." β
Yun Xiu looked over in response, not to mention people on the empty terrace, not even a living thing.
"Nobody, you're dazzled." She looked at Chun Tao, and before she could finish speaking, there was a rustling sound from the other terrace, and it sounded like someone was coming.
"Who!" Yun Xiu turned his head sharply.
