Chapter 53: A Bad Omen
Aunt Lin wore a spring dress embroidered with lake blue embroidered moire today, which added a lot of color to the previous plain gray and plain blue clothes.
Yun Xiu asked someone to move the stool, she sat down cautiously, and smiled shyly: "Eighth girl, thanks to you for taking care of Brother Mo on weekdays, I don't have anything in return, the old man gave me a pair of silver bracelets, and I melted one into a hairpin." “
As she spoke, she asked the mother-in-law behind her to hand over a small wooden box, opened it and put it on the incense table.
"Lin Xiaoniang doesn't have to be polite." Yun Xiu naturally wouldn't accept her gifts, "The third brother is my dear, and they should help each other." “
Aunt Lin was worried that she wouldn't look down on her, "I didn't have anything decent before, and I couldn't repay the kindness, but I kept it in my heart, and the girl didn't dislike it well." “
"The little lady laughed, how can the best hairpin be disgusted." Yun Xiu asked the spring willow to be put away, and brought a pot of tea, "Longjing before the Ming Dynasty, I didn't want to drink it, and gave it to the little lady, now my father often walks around your house, and he likes to taste tea the most." “
"Never thought that the girl was thinking about me, me, me??" Lin Xiaoniang was full of emotion, and hurriedly stood up, and was about to give a blessing when she was stopped by the mother-in-law in the house.
Yun Xiu also stopped her: "You give me a blessing, I want to lose my life." “
Lin Xiaoniang suffered a lot before. Suddenly, someone treated her well, and she couldn't help but wet her eyes, "If the eighth girl needs to speak in the future, as long as Brother Mo has it, the girl will definitely have a share." “
"I don't lack anything," Yun Xiu said with a smile, "There is only one thing, we can't stay in our parents' house for the rest of our lives, and the burden of taking care of my grandmother and father in the future will fall on the shoulders of Xiaoniang alone." “
Lin Xiaoniang said in a loud voice, "The girl is righteous, even if the girl doesn't say it, I will try my best to take care of the old lady and the master." “
Yun Xiu thinks this is not very good, mother and son are filial, brothers and brothers are respectful. The family is harmonious, each exercising its own duties, why bother making such a big fuss.
Seeing Aunt Lin away, Chunliu came back and talked about the past, "The girl knows why Aunt Lin is wearing plain clothes?" It's not that she doesn't love beauty, it's that Aunt Ding took advantage of the fact that the old man and the third master were not at home and cut all her beautiful clothes, which scared Aunt Lin and didn't dare to wear them anymore. “
"This is not the end," she continued, "every winter, Aunt Lin's house has very little carbon fire, and she has to wear two cotton jackets to withstand it on a snowy day, and Aunt Chen in the third room has not been treated by the master for several years, and she follows Aunt Ding to bully the second room at every now and then." “
Speaking of which. Chunliu sighed: "Aunt Lin is really pitiful. “
Hearing that it was indeed pitiful, Yun Xiu asked: "I rarely see Chen Xiaoniang, they all say that she is timid and afraid of things, and she will bully people?" “
"The girl doesn't know, Aunt Chen can pretend," Chunliu don't let the corners of her mouth go, "Mother Fang has seen through it a few times, and told the old lady, can the master still tolerate her?" “
But in terms of appearance, Aunt Chen is the best among the three aunts, and maybe she was not kicked out of Yunfu for this reason.
Of course, another reason is because of decency, Yun Yushi doesn't care about more pairs of chopsticks and more mouths, but he cares about others poking his backbone.
So Aunt Chen has been kept in the house, Chunliu didn't mention it, Yun Xiu almost forgot about this person, "Lin Xiaoniang is willing to come hard, Chen Xiaoniang will also be restrained, and the days will be long in the future." “
Chunliu nodded yes.
The two talked about themselves again, and seeing that it was almost noon, Chunliu went to the kitchen to pick up the food box, and saw a bird's nest, thinking that it was for the eighth girl's body, so she didn't think much about picking it up.
"Put, put!" The kitchen steward ran over, pressed her hand, took the bowl and put it back into the steamer, "This is what the master specially told Aunt Lin to stew, you took the wrong one and you will explain it to me?" “
It's good that Aunt Lin can eat hot, when will it be the turn of supplements?
Chunliu's eyes were full of doubts: "Mom, the eighth girl's body is not good, why don't you drink with the girl, give it to your aunt first?" “
"Yo, it's from the Eight Girls' House?" The housekeeper's mother-in-law had never seen Chunliu, so she was busy smiling, "The water washed the Dragon King Temple, it's a newcomer in the Eight Girls' House, right, called??"
"It's called Chunliu, mom remembered." Chunliu glanced at her, and said angrily, "The eighth girl is still waiting for me to go back to serve and leave." “
With that, close the lid of the box.
The housekeeper was afraid of offending the eighth girl, so she hurriedly chased out: "Miss Chunliu, Miss Chunliu, wait, wait!" “
Chunliu turned her head, "Mom, don't worry, I won't say no to this in front of the eighth girl." “
"Ouch, misunderstanding, I really misunderstood!" The housekeeper pulled her aside, "Mother Fang didn't let me say this, but the eighth girl is not an outsider, I will only tell you one." “
She leaned into Chunliu's ear and muttered a few words.
"Lin Xiaoniang has a body?" Yun Xiu was surprised to hear the news, "Why didn't you see the doctor go to her house?" “
"Girl, Fang's mother didn't let her make a noise about this matter, and it is estimated that Aunt Lin also had this idea," Chunliu set up the dishes and chopsticks, "She wants to go to the capital with the master, can she still leave this time?" “
After a pause, "But the old lady, the master, and the girls are all gone, Aunt Liulin is alone in the house, and the remaining two rooms are not allowed to be bullied to death." “
Yun Xiu laughed at her like a housekeeper: "Lin Xiaoniang has a third brother to take care of, and there is no big problem." “
But I had to advise, "Fang's mother won't let me talk about this, just tell me, don't let the third person know." “
Chunliu said yes.
It is rare to have a peaceful birthday in two days, the wind and the sun are beautiful on the day of departure, Yunfu and his party were sent to the dock by the carriage, and two big boats were chartered, Aunt Lin accompanied Yunzhidong, Ling Xiao ordered someone to carry the old lady on the boat first, and the two doctors of Jiu'an Hall followed, and Yun Xiu took Chunliu to the second boat in the name of visiting the second girl.
Chunliu looked at the boat and muttered, "Girl, why is Aunt Chen here too?" “
Yun Xiu took the opportunity to look over, Aunt Chen was wearing a silver-red and floral dress, the golden steps on her hair bun were dazzling under the refraction of the sun, and she was standing beside Aunt Lin with grease and powder, and she immediately compared people.
Even the Cloud Cave looked at her a few more times.
Aunt Lin is a sensible person, and she blessed the old man, saying that she wanted to go to the second boat to be the companion of the eighth girl.
The hole in the clouds is accurate.
"Eighth girl, I'll live in the stern room." Aunt Lin is a person who has come over, how can she not see the thoughts of Zhongyi Hou, and said carefully, "I won't come out if I have nothing to do." “
Yun Xiu knew that she took the initiative to ask for a boat with herself, in order to save the child in her belly, so she knocked on the side and nodded, "The stern of the boat is too stuffy, the road is half a month smaller, there are several big rooms in the middle, the little lady chooses a ventilated and comfortable room, don't grieve yourself." “
Aunt Lin didn't insist anymore and found a favorite room to move in.
Yun Xiu guessed that Ling Xiao could accommodate a spring willow is the biggest limit. Adding another Aunt Lin will definitely be displeased.
After the ship set sail, she and he sat alone in a cabin, the river breeze was gentle, and the boiling water of the teapot was clanging.
"Master Hou, try it." Yun Xiu finished brewing the tea, pushed the teacup in front of Ling Xiao, and picked up another cup and took a sip.
Ling Xiao had a calm face, nestled in the circle chair, his eyes stopped outside the window of Linghua, and he didn't react for a long time.
"Master Hou?" Yun Xiu followed his line of sight, and there was nothing but the blue sky and the sound of flowing water.
"What's there to see out there?" She simply stood up, walked to the window, blocked the sunlight shining in, and smiled at him with the backlight, "Do you look good with me?" “
The clothes were blown up and down by the wind, the rings were tinkling, and the fragrance of pomelo blossoms rushed to Ling Xiao with the wind one after another, swaying people's hearts.
"Come here." He beckoned.
Yun Xiu obediently walked over, wanting to surprise him, Leng Buding bent down and was about to kiss him on the cheek, when suddenly someone pressed the back of his neck, and the smell of Qingling suddenly approached, burrowed into his heart, and forcibly took away all the breath in his chest.
When Ling Xiao let go of her, Yun Xiu couldn't remember when he sat on his lap, gasping for breath and feeling his lips numb.
"Satisfied?" She tried to stand up, but was pressed down again.
Ling Xiao licked his lips and stared at her, "Did you let you go?" “
Yun Xiu also looked at him, "I took advantage of it, I kissed it, what else do you want?" “
"What do you say?" Ling Xiao grabbed her hand and lowered it.
What's going on, it's obvious, even if he had experienced things between men and women in his previous life, at that moment, Yun Xiu seemed to have hot hands, and his cheeks turned crimson.
"Or??" Ling Xiao glanced at the couch.
Yun Xiu shook her head, "Aunt Lin is next door, don't mess around." “
Ling Xiao regretted not eating his intestines last time, and it was rare to seize the opportunity. How can it be so easy to let go: "With your hands." “
Yun Xiu suddenly looked at him with wide eyes.
"Hurry up!" Ling Xiao swelled uncomfortably, holding on to the last bit of sobriety and threatening, "If you delay any longer, don't say that I will bully you for a while." “
Then without waiting for Yun Xiu to speak, he got up and pulled her behind the screen.
When he came out, the silk handkerchief embroidered with lotus flowers in Su couldn't be wanted, Ling Xiao stuffed it into the porcelain bottle when he finished using it, raised his hand and threw it away, only to hear the muffled sound of the pop, destroying the corpse.
"Come and sit." After he finished relieving himself and sat back in the circle chair, he said comfortably, "The tea is not delicious when it is cold, so make another pot." “
"Master Hou's heart is really big." Yun Xiu didn't say anything about throwing away a handkerchief for no reason, his palms were sticky, and he was worried about running out of water to wash his hands, but people wanted to drink tea.
Ling Xiao saw her standing still, so he remembered and asked his entourage to bring hot water in.
"You wash it yourself, I don't want to move." He leaned back in his chair, his chin tapped with a bucket, and hummed a tune.
Yun Xiu glanced at him, and listened to the lyrics while washing his hands, all of which were meat tunes.
Shameless man??
After washing the hands, I have to check whether the clothes and skirts are stained with messy things, but fortunately, Zhongyi Hou is still restrained.
Yun Xiu pulled the folds on his clothes and decided to stay farther away: "Master Hou is fine, the little girl will retire." “
Ling Xiao also felt that it was a bit bad for lonely men and widows to be in the same room, and nodded in agreement.
He doesn't care about red tape. But you can't ignore Yun Xiu's feelings.
The first time I was in the inn, I had to jump off the building, and I still remember it vividly, but this time it was not good to jump into the river.
As for Yun Xiu, she returned to her cabin, her face looked the same, her heart was still up and down, and her mind was full of the scene behind the screen, which made people's faces red and their hearts warm.
Chunliu was young and didn't understand: "Girl, are you okay, do you have a fever, why is your face so red?" “
"I'm fine." Yun Xiu asked her to bring a basin of cold water.
After washing his face and blowing the river breeze, the whole person is a lot more sober.
What's going on?
She sat by the window of Linghua in a daze, knowing that she couldn't, but she was full of joy.
Yun Xiu didn't know what she was expecting, but she just wanted to see this person every day, even if it was just a glance.
At a glance, you can know if the other party has her in their hearts??
In the end, her grandmother said that she should not move.
The boat line is very stable, the river is flooded with fishing fires at night, it is the fishermen who make a living by fishing and resting on the river, Yun Xiu stands on the deck, looking at the Milky Way stars in the deep blue sky, and I don't know why I think of Zhongyi Hou.
"What are you thinking, thinking so distractedly?" The person behind him hugged her and whispered in her ear.
Yun Xiu couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, "I was thinking about you, so you came." “
"Really?" Ling Xiao rested his chin in her neck socket and bit her white and tender earlobe, "It's a big crime to lie to me, think about it." “
Yun Xiu felt itchy, tilted her head, and laughed, "I didn't lie to you, it's true." “
As she spoke, she cocked her orchid finger and pointed to the sky, "Look, the night is as cold as water, lying down and watching the morning glory Vega." “
Ling Xiao listened to the scenery: "How can you come up with such a complaining sentence, shouldn't it be that the stars are hanging down and the plains are wide, and the moon is surging and the rivers are flowing." “
Yun Xiu glanced back and pulled the corners of his mouth: "Hou Ye is really atmospheric, such majestic poetry." “
Ling Xiao laughed, "Don't slander me." “
As he spoke, he took her wrist and walked to the cabin: "Let's sleep together tonight, I promise not to move you." “
Yun Xiu didn't believe it: "Hou Ye doesn't want good things during the day, let alone the dead of night." “
Ling Xiao smacked his mouth: "You won't know if you try it once." “
Yun Xiu was unmoved: "Even if you don't alarm Aunt Lin, Chunliu can't find me tomorrow morning, there are only these people on the boat, you will know where I went as soon as you guess, she was trained by Fang's mother, I don't want to spread it to my grandmother's ears." “
"She dares!" Ling Xiao's face sank, "She dares to say it, don't think of going out of the capital in this life." “
Yun Xiu squinted at him: "What do you want to do, you can't kill people?" “
Ling Xiao climbed down the pole: "Accompany me tonight, I didn't hear anything." “
"No, no." Yun Xiu lowered her voice and pushed the people around her, "You're so shameless." “
"I'm honest during the day, I'm ashamed," Ling Xiao couldn't be soft, he was hard, "Are you not going?" It's okay not to go, settle accounts during the day tomorrow, anyway, it's far from the capital. “
"You!" Yun Xiu wanted to scold, but he was afraid of alarming others, biting his lip and glaring at him with hatred, "Scoundrel, disciple, how can I think about someone like you." “
"Am I bad?" Ling Xiao slid her waist with her hand, and she was all scolded, "As long as I speak, don't talk about the third room, the thirteenth room is full." “
Yun Xiu sighed, took his hand away, and said coolly: "Master Hou hurriedly found the thirteenth aunt to serve, the little girl is tired, so she will retire first." “
After saying that, he turned around and went back to the room, slamming the door shut.
Ling Xiao touched his nose and scratched the tip of his nose with his index finger, did he say something wrong? No, I don't.
In the next two days, Yun Xiu was probably really angry, Ling Xiao took the initiative to find her, and she also liked to ignore it, or she would pick up a gun and stick and scold Sang Huai.
Another day, out of the Yangzhou boundary, arrived at the next port, the owner needed supplies, and the group on the boat also got off the ship to breathe.
The old lady has been carefully recuperated and treated by two doctors, and her condition has improved a lot, and in order to consolidate the treatment, it is recommended to continue to recuperate in bed.
Cloud Cave has little interest in this place, and will go back to the boat after a walk.
As soon as he left, Aunt Chen followed.
Aunt Lin wanted to go shopping, but it was really embarrassing to be sandwiched between Yun Xiu and Zhongyi Hou.
Yun Xiu didn't worry about Aunt Lin going back to the port alone, so she asked Chunliu and her two mothers-in-law to rent a carriage, and the four of them went back to the boat to wait.
There are only two people left at the moment, Ling Xiao changed the majesty of the Hou Ye and leaned beside her: "You also said that I have a big heart and nose, how many days have passed, you count it yourself?" “
Yun Xiu glanced at him and snorted.
Ling Xiao thought for a while, "I'm just a metaphor, if I want to marry you, I'll marry you, it's too much to be blessed." “
Yun Xiu held his breath, "Master Hou is in good spirits, how can he not be blessed." “
Ling Xiao cheekily complained: "I miss you very much in the past two days, do you want me?" “
Yun Xiu didn't look over: "I don't want to." “
"Okay, you don't want to, I think." As long as you can achieve your goal, don't be ashamed, "I'll go back to the boat in a while, and come to my house." “
"No, no."
"It's going to be boring to keep making trouble."
Yun Xiu squinted at him.
Ling Xiao didn't hesitate: "Blame me, blame me, I'll go back and admit punishment, it's all up to you." “
Yun Xiu laughed so hard that he was furious: "Master Hou, this is what you said." “
She leaned on him and went behind the screen, but her hands were a little stronger.
said that it was relieved, how did I rush to massage.
Ling Xiao surrendered in pain, lying on the couch alone, the river wind was blowing, his buttocks were cold, and he was worried that his life would not be guaranteed.
Fortunately, Yun Xiu's conscience was not clear, and after washing his hands, he found a sheet to cover him.
But just cover it well, cover your face, what's the matter?
By the way, the three incense sticks came to life.
"Are you really leaving?" He ripped off the sheet and grabbed Yun Xiu's wrist, "It's not serious, when I pretend to be in pain?" What do you want the Ling family to do? “
Yun Xiu calmed down and thought about it, feeling that he was a little too much, and his mouth was stubborn, "Master Hou can accept thirteen aunts, which is naturally different from ordinary people." “
"Okay, let you taste this honor first." Ling Xiao slowed down, and with a fierce thrust, he pressed Yun Xiu into his arms like an eagle catching a chicken, pressing the other party so that he couldn't move.
Yun Xiu raised his face. Vigilant: "What are you doing?" “
Ling Xiao stared at her with a half-smile and a half-smile, "What are you talking about?" “
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble," Yun Xiu took the initiative to soften, "I was wrong just now, I shouldn't hurt you, now it's not good, it's really not good, although my father relies on Hou Ye, but he is very face-heavy, don't embarrass me, I haven't been out of the cabinet, I can't be close to you." “
She can't say that Yun Yushi sells women for glory, and it seems that the entire Yun family is very unbearable.
Ling Xiao didn't let go. Her tone was softer: "My hands are numb. “
"I'll try next time." Ling Xiao let go of his arm and rubbed her tiger mouth appropriately, "Is it better?" “
Yun Xiu felt the tingling sensation gradually disappear, nodded, and moved five fingers, "It's much better." “
"Stay with me tonight." Ling Xiao's thief heart is not dead.
This time there is no way to change Yun Xiu, "Let's say okay first, sleep well, and don't do anything else." “
Ling Xiao replied cheerfully, "It's all up to you." “
At night, the weather suddenly turned cooler, and after a while, the wind direction changed, and the sky was thundering and pouring rain, and the owner ensured safety. Anchor and stop the ship and wait for dawn before leaving.
There was some noise outside, Yun Xiu frowned, and as soon as he reached out and touched someone beside him, he woke up in an instant.
Seeing the person sitting clearly, his heart fell, "Master Hou, what time is it?" “
It's still dark.
Ling Xiao pulled the quilt, leaned over and kissed her forehead, "You sleep, I'll go out and have a look." “
"Okay." Yun Xiu fell asleep in a daze, didn't remember where he was, curled up and fell asleep again.
Ling Xiao walked onto the deck, and his entourage handed over the oil coat.
The rain crackled on the side of the ship, quickly blocking the view.
"What's going on?" He asked.
The attendant pointed to the water illuminated by the lanterns on the ship, "Master Hou, look, there seems to be something." “
In the middle of the night, it is not a good sign to encounter any unknown objects in unfamiliar waters, "Salvage it and take a look." “
The owner of the boat immediately called the servant to go to the net.
"It looks like driftwood." The attendant took it and looked at the light.
The owner of the ship, having experience, immediately changed his face: "No, this is the deck, on a small boat." Master Hou, either the weather of this ship is bad and it is shipwrecked, or it encounters robbers, in short, it is a bad omen. “
"Master Hou??" The attendant wanted to say something, but was interrupted.
Ling Xiao took the owner of the boat, gathered a few capable subordinates, and went to the stern of the boat to take shelter from the rain: "I know what you want to say." “
The other party clenched his fists, "Don't worry about anything else, I'm afraid of the two ships of tax and silver going on a business trip." “
Ling Xiao also considered this: "How many of us are there? “
"There are a few generals, twenty-five in all."
"Does the owner have any guys?"
"Yes, but they certainly can't beat the bandits."
"No matter how ruthless the bandits are, they are also human," Ling Xiao analyzed, "It rains so heavily tonight, the water on the river is turbulent, and the possibility of a sneak attack is not very likely, so we will wait for dawn to make deployments." “
The subordinates went back to their rooms to rest and were on call at any time.
When Ling Xiao returned to the room, Yun Xiu was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Awake?" He walked over and pinched his white cheek. "It's still early in the morning, let's go to sleep."
"I think I'm in the wrong room." Yun Xiu looked at him in a daze, "This is not my couch. “
Ling Xiao was amused by her: "This is mine, sleep in peace, I didn't treat you like anything." “
"Master Hou," Yun Xiu suddenly said out of nowhere, "I'm afraid." “
Ling Xiao thought that the movement outside startled her, so she hurriedly sat down and hugged her, "Everything is with me." “
"No," she threw herself into his arms, "I just dreamed that you really married the thirteenth aunt, and I was so angry." “
Ling Xiao couldn't cry or laugh: "What nonsense are you thinking about all day long." “
"I miss Master Hou." Yun Xiu arched his arch and closed his eyes again, "You don't believe it." “
Ling Xiao really wanted to hug her like this and continue to sleep with her head bored. Not right now.
"Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu," he thought again and again, shaking the person in his arms awake, "The itinerary has changed, you wake up." “
"What's wrong again?" Yun Xiu rubbed his eyes and asked impatiently, "How do you want to change?" Let me go back to my room and sleep, I'll leave now. “
"Sit down." Ling Xiao grabbed her, "After dawn, all of you people from Yunfu will gather on the front boat, and when you cross this water, or go to the next port, you will come back." “
"Why?" Yun Xiu was so sleepy that she didn't want to open her eyes, "Lin Xiaoniang just didn't want to contact Aunt Chen, so she was on the same boat with me." She has a body now, and she can't stand being bullied by others. “
"Wait, the surname Lin is a pregnant woman?" Ling Xiao realized the trouble, "She's a pregnant woman who doesn't stay in the house, what are you running with us?" “
"It's hard to say, when my father and grandmother leave, Lin Xiaoniang will definitely not stay in the house," Yun Xiu said, "She is a responsible person, and she will not cause trouble to Master Hou, don't dislike others." “
"What the hell, wake up!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but wake her up, and said, "Tomorrow, when the weather improves, I will ask three subordinates to send you and the pregnant woman away in a small boat first, not necessarily to the port, find a village with many people to take refuge, and I will arrive later." “
"Avoid?" Yun Xiu's sleepy worm was finally driven away, and he heard that something was wrong, "Master Hou, is something wrong?" “
