"It's coming, it's coming!" Chun Tao was busy opening the door, and he was relieved that Hou Ye was here.

The moment the door opened, she was stunned, and for a while she pulled the corners of her mouth, but she didn't want to laugh: "Xie, Xie Gongzi, how did you find here?" “

Then Chun Tao blocked the door, letting people in, not letting people in, and not letting people in, and the pestle being seen by other guests outside is not.

"Didn't the eighth girl ask me to come and say that she had something to say?" Xie Zongren looked at her strangely, "Otherwise, how can I find the girl's whereabouts?" “

Chun Tao seemed to hear the Arabian Nights, and her eyes widened: "When did the eighth girl ask you out?" “

Xie Zongren glanced into the house, but didn't see the person he was looking for, so he deliberately raised his voice, "If you don't believe it, you can find your girl to come out and confront you." “

This sound really alarmed the people in the house, Yun Xiu put down the teacup and asked who it was.

Xie Zongren immediately replied: "Eighth sister, it's me!" “

She heard the other party's voice and ordered Chun Tao without hesitation: "I don't see anyone today, send off guests." “

Chun Tao blessed with apologies: "Gongzi Xie has heard it, the girl doesn't see anyone, don't embarrass the slave." “

"Your girl is so big." When he was something, he came and went as soon as he was called, Xie Zongren smiled, "You tell the eighth girl, she won't see her today." I won't leave, she can't spend the night in the teahouse. “

"Gongzi Xie, you are a bully!" Chun Tao straightened her neck and looked out while arguing, and said in her heart for a while, Hou Ye is here, you feel good.

Xie Zongren seemed to see through her, "Who are you looking for?" Loyal Marquis? Waiting for him to save the eight girls, he died before he could kill this heart, and Zhongyi Hou and Yun Yushi went out together. “

Sure enough, Chun Tao was blown up and the truth was revealed: "Impossible!" You don't bluff me! How could Master Hou go out with the master, when I went out, I specially asked someone to go to the front yard to leave a message, Master Hou will definitely come to find the girl! “

"Why hasn't Master Hou shown up yet?" Xie Zongren stared at her with a smile, "This teahouse is only a stick of incense from Yunfu by car, and it is impossible to get ahead of the Hou Ye no matter what." “

"This, this??" Chun Tao was short of words for a while, and she didn't know what to say.

Xie Zongren disdained to have a lawsuit with a subordinate. "I'm not a rude person, tell the girl what I said, if the girl really doesn't see me, it's rude to ask her to say it herself, and hide from it."

As he spoke, he dusted off the fine folds on his shoulders and took a step back, looking like a gentleman and polite.

Chun Tao was in a dilemma for a while, she gritted her teeth, turned her head and went in to reply.

Yun Xiu didn't wait for her to speak, and said, "It's not that I didn't say it." “

Chun Tao was a little annoyed and scolded: "Girl, Gongzi Xie is really a good actor, standing outside with a human appearance, full of heresies, saying that you won't leave if you don't see him." Heng Vertical Girl will not spend the night in the teahouse. If the girl doesn't see her, tell him personally, otherwise it will be rude. “

People are smart people, but their brains are not used in the right way.

Yun Xiu sneered, got up and went to the door, "Gongzi Xie hasn't seen him for a few days, and he is good at messing around." “

In the face of sarcasm, Xie Zongren was not annoyed, and bowed his hand to her: "I don't need to use any means, I'm afraid it's difficult to see the eighth sister." “

"Since you see it, please go back," Yun Xiu said coldly, "Listening to books is to help fun, and taking the favor of others is not for a gentleman, Xie Gongzi is the most polite and shameful, and he should not be cheeky." “

"The eighth girl really has a sharp mouth," Xie Zongren is a scholar in the end, his face was blue and white for a while, "No wonder Brother Zimo is willing to bow down." “

Yun Xiu scoffed, "That's a third brother's joke, I can't count it." Gongzi Xie, are you still leaving? “

Seeing that he didn't give up, and seeing the taste of driving in person was even more uncomfortable, Xie Zongren blushed angrily, "I'll just rely on it, what can you do with me?!" “

Yun Xiu smiled indifferently: "If you want to rely on it, you can disturb me listening to the book, so I can only find the shopkeeper to ask my son to go out." “

Saying that, she said to Chun Tao: "Go to the shopkeeper, just say that there is a scoundrel who is harassing the guests, report to the official as soon as possible." “

"You!" Xie Zongren laughed angrily, "Okay, Eighth Girl, I'm a scoundrel, so what are you?" Zhongyihou is doing the same thing as me, but you can't bear to agree with him again and again, and you have a high and low face, can a girl be ashamed?! “

Before the words fell, Yun Xiu used ten percent of his strength, and a very loud slap made him tilt his head, and the corners of his mouth oozed blood.

"You hit me?" Xie Zongren's eyes were crimson, and he wiped his face viciously, "You beat me again?" “

Seeing that something was wrong, Chun Tao hurriedly stood between the two, turned her head and said, "Girl, you go first, the slave will send Gongzi Xie to the medicine." “

"You get out of here!" Xie Zongren suddenly looked like an angry lion, grabbed Chun Tao's shoulders and pushed hard.

The fence on the second floor was waist-high, and only a terrible scream was heard, and the figure of a girl fell down and smashed the wooden table in the lobby, causing an uproar among the audience on the first floor.

"Spring Peach! Spring peach! Yun Xiu pushed away the people in front of him and rushed down the stairs with her skirt.

Xie Zongren was also stupid, he was so angry that he didn't want to push people down.

"Let's go, get out of the way!" Yun Xiu pushed aside the onlookers, squeezed to the innermost, and saw a pool of blood slowly pouring out from under Chun Tao's body, and turned his head to the nearest person and said urgently, "Shopkeeper!" Call the shopkeeper! Help! “

She was desperate for help, not paying attention to the lively guests on the second floor.

"Yo, isn't that the eighth girl?" Ding Meisheng stood behind the crowd, stretched her neck to look down, and said to the mother-in-law next to her, "Quickly help the old lady out to take a look, don't be dazzled by my mistake." “

The mother-in-law answered and asked the old lady to come out.

Ding Meisheng hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "Mother, my daughter-in-law's eyes are not good, look at the girl downstairs, is it an eight girl?" “

The old lady is so familiar with Yun Xiu, not to mention looking at people, she can distinguish it by listening to the voice.

"What's going on?" The old man's eyes became shuddering, "Did you already calculate that the eight girls are here?" “

"Mother, you are angry." Ding Meisheng said boldly, "My daughter-in-law knows that she is the meat of your heart, how dare you have a trace of delusion, take someone back now, don't lose the face of Yunfu." “

The old lady snorted heavily, leaned on her crutches, and asked someone to help her back home.

??

It was getting late, the fire burned the clouds, burning half of the sky, and it was time to light up the clouds, and more than a dozen candlesticks in the Huishou Hall were lit to illuminate everyone in the house, but there was no sound.

Mother Fang came in with the curtain, walked around to the old lady, and said in a very low voice: "Gongzi Xie's mother Zhang is waiting in the flower hall, saying that she will make amends to you, her eyes are swollen from crying, and she begs the old lady to let her son live." “

The old lady closed her eyes expressionlessly, and the Canaan string in her hand crackled, "You go and see how the eighth girl is, and put it next to it first." “

Fang's mother sighed and stepped back lightly.

Chun Tao was carried back, and the Ye family doctor took the apprentice to rescue him in the house.

Yun Xiu sat under the porch. stared blankly at the ground, and didn't react until Fang's mother called her for the third time.

She smiled wryly: "Grandmother called you over, right?" “

Fang's mother nodded: "Girl, what is the old lady worried about you, the old slave asked the kitchen to cook some refreshing dishes, you pad first, don't starve yourself." “

Yun Xiu shook his head slowly: "I'm not hungry, Mother Lao bothered." “

Mother Fang looked at it and sighed: "Girl, what Rong Lao Nu said is unpleasant, no matter whether Chun Tao can survive tonight or not, you can't gamble with your body." The old lady has already sent someone to find the old man to come back to discuss countermeasures, and she will not let today's incident damage the girl's face. “

"Is it to damage my face, or are you afraid of damaging the Yun family's face?" Yun Xiu sneered and looked over, "The culprit is Xie Zongren, why don't you send him to the yamen?" Because Chun Tao didn't die? “

"Girl, you're confused." Fang's mother racked her brains to persuade, "The merits are straight, the old lady will not tolerate it if she finds out, and his mother Zhang also came, crying into tears, saying that she was willing to take the blame for her son, but the old lady did not agree." “

Yun Xiu knew the old lady's temper, and Mother Fang only said one thing: "What else does grandmother say." “

Fang's mother: "The old lady also said that the girl is a clever person, and now she has been wronged, so bear with it for the time being, the lord's side, the salt road knows that the six girls will get married next month, and this is a scandal, and the six girls will not be able to raise their heads for the rest of their lives when they go to the Ye family." “

After a pause, he said, "The old man's temper, you know, he is the head of the family, in case of indiscriminate punishment of the girl, the old lady is not easy to interfere." “

Yun Xiu didn't speak, Fang's mother was pitiful, and said something selfish: "Girl, the old lady has never seen any storms at this age, she just wants you to marry smoothly, don't live up to your expectations and hurt the old lady's heart." “

"I see." The voice did not fall. The doctor in the house opened the door and came out, her hands were covered with blood, and she didn't care about getting up and stepping forward, "How is Chun Tao, when will she recover?" “

"Girl, don't worry, the doctor is benevolent." The doctor shook his head with regret, and said to the other party's mother, "The rules of Jiu'an Hall, if the person is not saved, the medical fee will be waived, and the farewell will not be sent." “

The last sentence got into Yun Xiu's ears, as if someone had suddenly pinched his lungs, he couldn't catch his breath, and it was dark between his fingers, only to hear someone crying out in panic "girl".

I don't know if it's a sudden heartbreak, or a rush to be corrupted after holding back for too long, or a big realization that my mind is too transparent to withstand the hammer.

When Yun Xiu woke up, her heart was wooden, and she didn't even want to pay attention to the old lady calling her.

The doctor came back in to take the pulse and said that it was no longer a big deal.

The old lady was heartbroken, and stroked her hair over and over again, "My son, if you feel uncomfortable, you will cry, and it will be good to cry." “

"Grandmother. The granddaughter didn't want to cry and couldn't cry. Yun Xiu hoarsely voiced, "Xie Zongren killed the slave of Yunfu, he should have his life, he should have resisted his life, why didn't you send him to the yamen?" “

As she spoke, she slowly got up from the bed, frightening the old lady.

"My son, what are you going to do?" She pressed Yun Xiu's hand, and called Fang's mother again, "Is the eighth girl's medicine boiled, hurry up and send it!" “

Yun Xiu pulled out his hand and said indifferently, "Grandmother, I'm not sick, I don't drink medicine." “

Seeing that her expression was wrong, the old lady hugged her and cried, "Xiu'er, what's wrong with you?" What's wrong? Grandmother to death, grandmother to death! “

Fang's mother was also frightened, and persuaded her, "Eighth girl, people can't be resurrected after death, Chun Tao has asked her family to take her back for burial, and the account room will send another silver, so it is not in vain for her to have a fight with your master and servant." “

"It's rare that Fang's mother thinks it through." I don't know what Yun Xiu thinks, so she pushed the old lady away, lay down again, closed her eyes and said, "Grandmother, I'll sleep first, maybe Chun Tao won't find me in my dream for a while, and I should be in a hurry." “

After speaking, his breathing gradually stabilized, and a tear slipped silently from the corner of his eye.

When the rooster crows three times, the crab blue sky is cloudy, Yun Xiu opens his eyes, the room is surprisingly quiet, and the girl on duty at night is sleeping soundly.

She got up lightly, put on her skirt and kit coat, simply pulled up her bun, escaped from Huishoutang like a ghost, and then returned to her house along the familiar path of the wall, and after groping for a while, she went to the front yard like a ghost.

"Who!" The sudden noise in the courtyard alerted the entourage.

After a while, Ling Xiao opened the door vigilantly, smelling an extremely strong fragrance, and the attendant held the flower box that was broken in half, and said in a low voice: "The subordinates found this in the courtyard, and there is also a broken fat powder, which seems to have been thrown in from outside the wall." “

At first glance, it's the girl's thing.

Ling Xiao squinted slightly, asked where he found the incense powder, and the entourage pointed in the direction, he didn't say a word, ran in a few steps, kicked the wall, climbed over, and the figure immediately disappeared on the other side of the wall.

He had excellent eyesight, and soon spotted a petite figure in the verandah, and rushed over in three steps and two steps, blocking the other's path.

Yun Xiu saw the comer clearly, lowered his head, his eyebrows and eyes disappeared in the shadows, and he bent his knees and blessed.

Ling Xiao felt her strangeness, and said in a deep voice, "This will not sleep, throw things into my yard, it's not a small courage." “

Yun Xiu chuckled, "Master Hou himself said that he would not let trespass, and turned his head and asked Chun Tao to transfer the fat powder, in the end, he was reluctant to let the little girl go." “

She broke through this layer of paper without warning, and killed Ling Xiao by surprise, and even a little annoyed: "What are you crazy about?" “

"Master Hou," Yun Xiu seemed to not understand his anger, and took Zhongyi Hou's right hand and put it on his heart, and said softly, "I am going to do something big now, and when I come back, I will follow you, and this trip is not in vain." “

"What are you going to do?" Ling Xiao grabbed his slender wrist with his backhand, and his doubts became bigger and bigger.

"Shhh--" Yun Xiu's green and white index finger pressed his lips, "Master Hou, don't be so loud, I'll go back as soon as I go, and I will never break my promise to you." “

Ling Xiao frowned: "If you don't want to, I won't take advantage of others." “

"This time I volunteered," Yun Xiu still smiled, "Hou Ye don't worry, although I obey the rules everywhere, I am not a fool who follows the rules, in case something happens, Hou Ye remembers to save me." “

After speaking, she stood on tiptoe, approached Ling Xiao, and touched the corner of her stubble mouth with a little water, "Now I believe it?" “

At that moment, Ling Xiao's whole person froze in place, but his heart turned up layer after layer of terrifying waves, and when he reacted, the figure had already run away.

***

Yun Xiu is no stranger to the yamen, she slipped out of the side door, trotted all the way until dawn, and struck the "drum of injustice" with all her strength.

Not long after the chief officer woke up, he heard the sound of the drums, and his head was bigger, and he sent someone to see who was complaining, and his head was even bigger.

"The lower official doesn't know what to do, so he came to disturb Lord Yushi early in the morning," the chief official is not sitting or standing, but he only looked at the cloud cave, "Ling Yan is temporarily placed in the backyard of the yamen, and said, saying that there is a grievance to report, you see??"

What to see! Yun Zhidong couldn't wait to dig out the other party's eyeballs, but he didn't have a good air, "The little girl has caused trouble to the chief officer, and she will be sent back after a while." “

The chief officer nodded again and again: "It must be." “

When Yun Xiu was sent back, Fang's mother waited at the door of the Hanging Flower Gate, pacing back and forth, looking around from time to time, like an ant on a hot pot.

"Girl, you're back." She reminded in a low voice, "The old man is also in Huishoutang, the old lady said that no matter what the old man says, don't talk back, when the old man is angry, her old man will be angry for the girl." “

Yun Xiu snorted perfunctorily and didn't say anything more.

Yun Zhidong was probably very angry, ignoring the people in the house, pointing at her nose and scolding, "You dare to come back with a shameful thing!" “

The old lady coughed lightly, as a reminder, and then beckoned to Yun Xiu: "Come, come, come and sit next to grandmother." “

Yun Xiu stood still, staring coldly at the head of the family on the Taishi chair, "Since my father is so protective of Gongzi Xie, it is better to accept him as your godson, but you like your son, and it is not too much to do more." “

"You bastard!" Cloud Cave slapped the table vigorously. The teacup clattered, "You! You! Mother, did you hear, this is the good girl you taught, and said that it was not spoiled by you, that she had no respect for her elders, that she had sharp teeth and sharp mouths, that she was not filial, that she was not a filial son! “

"What nonsense are you talking about! The son is not the fault of the father," the old lady protected Yun Xiu, "Chun Tao entered the house at the age of ten and followed her, she is like a sister on weekdays, she is too sad, it is inevitable to make mistakes, you can't be tolerant as a father." “

"Tolerance?" Cloud Cave was so angry that he clenched his teeth. "Mother continues to connive, I'm afraid that Ming'er will turn against the sky!"

"Grandmother spoils her granddaughter, it's called connivance, what is my father called when he listens to Aunt Ding's words, and he is dizzy?" Yun Xiu's tone was cold, like a knife shot out coldly, and every sentence pierced her heart, "Why is my daughter a bastard?" What's the shame? Father keeps saying that he governs the country and the family, and the family governs the country, what else have you done except for the fact that your aunt has spent all day giving birth to a son? “

"Bastard thing!" Cloud Cave stood up abruptly and raised his hand to slap him.

Yun Xiu didn't dodge, he fell to the ground hard, and the smell of blood suddenly appeared in his mouth. She touched the corner of her broken mouth and frowned in pain.

Yun Zhidong seemed to be angry, and was about to kick his feet, but was stopped by Fang's mother and several mothers-in-law: "Master! Master! The girl is not more solid than the young masters, so I can't do it! “

The old lady also accused him: "You just beat her to death!" You're all born of it! “

"Mother, you, you??" Yun Zhidong was suppressed, and turned his head to Yun Xiu and roared, "Still stunned!" Go to the ancestral hall and kneel! “

Yun Xiu knelt alone in the empty ancestral hall, motionless, not sad or happy, the heavy door was locked, and no one would venture to talk to her again.

She was tired from kneeling, and when she regained her senses, she found that half of her face was swollen.

Yun Xiu sighed silently and muttered into the air, "Chun Tao, I hurt you, I deserve to be slapped." “

After a pause, he said, "You hurt when you fell, I guess too, I didn't hurt as you, and my ears were still buzzing." “

Fu sighed again: "Who let you be nosy, Master Hou sent fat powder to him to send it, after all, I didn't ask for it, I said that I was not allowed to mention him, you??"

Yun Xiu lowered her head, the tears that blurred her vision, like beads with broken threads, rolled down on the shiny black slate, and she let out a whimper in her throat, and said vaguely hatefully, "Do you think I'm useless, I can't protect you when I die!" “

Ling Xiao sat cross-legged on the large square stone bricks across the door, looking at the clear blue sky with clouds and wind, hearing her cry for the first time, it was not heartbreaking, but it was suppressed to the extreme, and she needed to find an outlet.

The retinue lined up at the bottom of the steps, with green-headed knives at their waists, one hand against the hilt, and the other hanging down. It seems to be just waiting for a fate.

Ling Xiao didn't say anything, got up and patted the ash on his buttocks, and walked to the front yard unhurriedly, finally understanding why the eighth girl suddenly threw herself into her arms early in the morning.

He is a normal man, how could he not want to, but when he heard Yun Xiu crying, he cried so much that he didn't have any heart.

The entourage followed behind and asked, "Master Hou, the matter is fatal, and it involves Miss Yunba, do you care?" “

"No matter." Ling Xiao was indifferent to his usual indifference, "After all, the family affairs of Yunyu History have nothing to do with us. “

He thought for a moment, stopped, and looked at the ancestral hall behind him. "Go and inquire about what the eighth girl likes to eat, and find someone to deliver it."

The entourage said yes, helpless in his heart, Hou Ye really didn't treat himself as an outsider in someone's mansion.

At the same time, Hui Shoutang.

The old lady quarreled for a day, had a headache again, drank medicine, rested on the couch, and the other party's mother said: "You will go to see the eight girls later, she is so excited that she dares to fight like this." “

Fang's mother said yes, "The master is also angry enough today." “

"It's all to blame for him not caring about his daughters on weekdays, and he is to blame." The old lady snorted and asked again, "What's going on with the Xie family's kid?" I saw that the child was humble and polite on weekdays, and at first glance he was a child from the eunuch's family, how could he have such a quarrel with the eight girls? “

Fang's mother: "I sent someone to ask carefully, Xie Gongzi insisted that it was the eighth girl who asked him out, and the third master could testify about this, when he and Xie Gongzi went to school together, they said that someone passed on the message, and they all thought that they were girls in the house, so they didn't think much about it." “

It is not uncommon for a girl who has not left the pavilion to want to see her son, and it is not uncommon for her subordinates to secretly pass on the message.

The old lady rubbed her swollen forehead: "Have you found the messenger?" “

Fang's mother said no: "There are dozens of slaves and miscellaneous servants in the house, as well as those who are transferred from the Zhuangzi below to do rough work, adding up to nearly 100 people. “

The old lady pointed meaningfully, "Do you think it will be a good thing that Ding Meisheng did?" “

"Aunt Ding??" Mother Fang pondered, "Aunt Ding has always been by your side, if you want to say that it is her, there is no evidence, but I am afraid that the master will not follow." “

"I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup I drank from her," the old lady was vain, at a loss, "I have never believed in blind marriage and dumb marriage, wait for the eight girls to get better, talk to the old lady of the Ye family, and ask the protégé parents to meet, so that the children can also meet." “

"What if it doesn't work?" Fang's mother was worried, "It's not good for the eighth girl to spread it." “

"Alas, I'm not confused, you're old confused?" The old lady had a terrible headache, "It's almost Qingming, the girls love to go out and pick finch wheat grass and come back to steam the Qingtuan, call a few girls from the Ye family, so that the six girls can be familiar with a few sisters-in-law." “

Fang's mother even claimed, "It's still the old lady who has a way to kill two birds with one stone." “

The old lady raised her hand: "Don't worry about patting the horses, hurry up and help the eight girls back, send more girls to watch over at night, don't make trouble again." “
