If she didn't say it, the old marquis would naturally not chase after her.

When they arrived at Changchun Garden, they were headed by the county lord of Pingkang, followed by Ling Xiao, and then followed by Qiu's mother and other girls, clustered around the two masters.

"I'm busy." The county lord walked down the steps with his skirt and went straight to the old marquis, and said with concern, "I trained Brother Xiao yesterday, he is also a father, and he doesn't know how to understand his father at all." “

"It's I want him to show less." The old marquis snorted and walked forward, "I see that you are raised in the garden, and your complexion is better than in the house." “

The county lord of Pingkang immediately smiled, "Old husband and wife, I haven't heard you say two words of praise for many years." “

When the two elders spoke, Yun Xiu was not easy to interject, so he took advantage of the pause to greet the lord of Pingkang County, and flattered: "Mother has a ruddy face and a healthy body, which is the blessing of the little marquis and his daughter-in-law." “

"You're here." Lord Pingkang glanced at her, and his tone was lukewarm, "Everyone comes into the house to talk, it's cold outside." “

Yun Xiu's hot face was attached to the cold buttocks, and he lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mother, the steps are slippery, you are careful of your step." “

Lord Pingkang ignored it and laughed behind the old marquis.

Yun Xiu frowned slightly, holding her skirt and falling at the end. Ling Xiao didn't pay much attention to her, walking behind the old man, and the two talked a few words from time to time.

At that moment, looking at the family of three in front of her, she suddenly felt that she was the superfluous one.

Yun Xiu wanted to escape, and inexplicably wanted to find An Entong, just like in Yangzhou before, the family gathered around the charcoal basin, baking rice cake slices, and talking nonsense heartlessly.

In the front yard, there is an endless stream of salt road merchants going to the house to visit, chickens, ducks and fish are carried to the back kitchen in the whole frame, and there are also head and face jewelry. She picked the rest, and it was her turn to bring out the sisters.

Maybe Yun Shu hated her at that time, or a long time ago??

"Grandma, grandma," Haruka's whispered reminder, "why don't you leave?" The two old masters in front of them were watching. “

Yun Xiu came back to her senses and looked up, and the three people in front of her looked at her with different expressions.

Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment and walked over, "You don't have a good face, are you uncomfortable?" “

"Maybe I didn't sleep well last night." Yun Xiu forced a smile, "I'm walking slowly, you accompany your father and mother into the house, it's too cold." “

Ling Xiao was a little worried: "Are you really okay?" “

Yun Xiu shook his head and said it was okay.

"Ling Xiao. Rubbing what? Lord Pingkang stood on the steps a few steps away, glanced at the two of them condescendingly, and said unhappily, "What can't you say in the house, do you have to let me and your father accompany you two to blow the wind and freeze?" “

"Just come." Ling Xiao replied, turned his head to Yun Xiu and said, "It's the New Year, don't upset your parents." “

Yun Xiu still belched, helping Chunliu to walk up slowly, Ling Xiao was afraid that the two elders would not be able to wait, so he would go one step ahead of him.

Chunliu didn't stop talking, and complained very quietly: "Little Hou Ye is fine on weekdays, and I won't wait for you today." “

"Shhh “

Chunliu immediately pursed her mouth tightly.

When I entered the house, through the seat screen of Shu brocade, I saw the old marquis and the lord of Pingkang teasing Brother Huan.

Lord Pingkang said happily: "Master Hou, you see that Brother Huan'er laughs exactly like Ling Xiao when he was a child, but Brother Xiao is not so white and tender, the Empress Dowager always misses my family's little face, I want to wait for the spring to be warm, and take the child into the palace for a trip." “

"Okay, you're measured." The old marquis didn't agree, and he didn't want to make an unhappy atmosphere during the New Year, "Occasionally take the child to show his face." “

"Yo, you're different from people," Pingkang joked, "Other people's families wish their juniors were favored by the palace, but you can't avoid them." “

"Ruthless is the most emperor's family, what is a good thing to be favored by the palace?" The old marquis waved his hand impatiently, "Okay, okay, I rarely rest, don't talk about something that I don't have." “

As he spoke, he turned to Yun Xiu, who was standing next to the screen, and smiled: "Girl, what are you doing when you are standing, come in." “

Yun Xiu said yes, and when she saw Qiu's mother coming in with tea, she hurriedly took over and served tea to the two elders herself.

Ling Xiao was not there, I didn't know why I went, Yun Xiu sat in the house hard, she hadn't seen the child for a while, and she wanted to hug Brother Huan'er, but the county lord of Pingkang didn't mean to let go, and the nurse stood aside and smiled helplessly at her.

The old marquis teased the child for a while, so he got up and went to the back room to read.

Only Lord Pingkang and Yun Xiu were left in the hall.

The county lord of Pingkang handed over the child to the wet nurse, turned his head to look at Yun Xiu, sat in the circle chair, looked a little colder, and said: "I brought the child over, and I probably can't find a mother like you in Yan Shangjing, so I left my husband and child at home for a trivial matter." “

Yun Xiu bit her lip and remained silent.

Lord Pingkang snorted, "You don't have to complain about Ling Xiao, he didn't say anything, if you don't want people to know unless you do it, I'm not confused, I haven't seen anyone for three or five days, where have you been?" “

Yun Xiu replied in a low voice: "My daughter-in-law went back to live in the house for a few days. “

"You run on the front foot, expecting Brother Xiao to find you on the back foot?" The lord of Pingkang County blew the steaming tea, "It's me who won't let him go, let you think about it carefully, and be the proper tool of the Hou Mansion's grandmother." “

Yun Xiu's nails were cut into the flesh, and she didn't feel pain, "Mother-in-law has taught me a lesson." “

The county lord of Pingkang said lightly: "I won't punish you for the New Year, I should always train you two sentences." “

Yun Xiu said, "The mother is kind, but the daughter-in-law is not mellow enough." “

"It's good that you're wrong." The lord of Pingkang County told the nurse to retreat.

Yun Xiu watched Brother Huan'er being taken away, and could only hold the handkerchief tightly.

Lord Pingkang looked at her lost appearance and snorted coldly, "I knew that this was the case, why bother in the first place, you can't be a mother well, you don't have to raise your children around." “

Yun Xiu tried his best to endure it, biting his lip, and a faint smell of blood spread.

"There are no outsiders in the house today, I'll teach you," the county lord of Pingkang continued, "I know you have resentment in your heart, complaining that I shouldn't accept the Gu family's gifts, you don't want to see anyone, you can't take care of Fanshuang alone, she is the goddaughter of the military department, and she is very popular with the Cui family, if it weren't for the girl's unwillingness, she would have become the daughter-in-law of the Cui family early, do you understand the stakes?" “

Yun Xiu nodded: "Daughter-in-law understands." “

"I said so much, just to let you know that the girl likes Brother Xiao'er, it's not Brother Xiao'er's fault." Seeing that she was well-behaved, the lord of Pingkang County said in a slightly slower tone, "You love vinegar, you have a brother in your heart, I understand, and the Ling family also remembers your credit." “

"What my mother said today, my daughter-in-law has memorized it." Yun Xiu got up and begged, "If my daughter-in-law wants to go and see Brother Huan'er, just take a look twice." “

Lord Pingkang refused: "The child will sleep in a while, don't make any noise about him, wait for tomorrow." “

Yun Xiu didn't have a problem. Wanting to open his mouth and beg again, the lord of Pingkang got up and entered the back room and went to talk to the old marquis.

"Grandma, why don't we see the little boy tomorrow," Chunliu saw that she was slow to move, and stepped forward to persuade in a low voice, "The nurse has a lot of benefits for us, and she will never neglect the child." “

Yun Xiu was silent for a long time, and sighed helplessly: "Let's go, I'll bring over a few small belly pockets in a while." “

Chunliu responded and helped her out of the house.

It began to snow outside the house again, and the sound of firecrackers was heard from time to time in the distance, Yun Xiu looked into the distance, and said slowly: "Chunliu, I decided to go north, was it wrong?" Actually, Mrs. Ann is very good, why do I insist on going my own way? “

Chunliu coldly heard her mention An Entong, and looked left and right in fright, for fear that someone would hear, "Grandma, you are angry, if you are heard by the little marquis, you will be furious again." “

"I want to go back to Yangzhou," Yun Xiu felt lonely, "Dr. An said that there is a merchant ship in Jiu'an Hall, and we can follow the ship and be safe." “

"Grandma, for the New Year, why don't you say something you can't think of," Chunliu pulled her to the corner of the secluded wall and said urgently, "You can think about it on weekdays, why can't you get out of the horns today." “

"Chunliu, I want to be alone and quiet," Yun Xiu pointed in the direction of the gate, "The year is over, you go to Jiu'an Hall now, ask Dr. An if you still have rice cakes, and take some to give to grandmother, Mother Fang asked, and said that I found someone to bring them." “

Chunliu was a little uneasy, and had to start, "The slave will go back as soon as you go, don't stay outside for too long alone." “

Yun Xiu said that she knew, and waved her hand to urge her to leave quickly.

After Chunliu left. There was only a whimpering wind in my ears.

Her eyes were pale, Yun Xiu didn't know where to go, she didn't want to go back to the house, she didn't want to see Ling Xiao, and she didn't want to see any domestic servants, so she walked to the back garden with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

There is still a hole on the ice that was chiseled from the last fishing, and Yun Xiu is familiar with finding the small stool, fishing rod, and net pocket behind the tree, and sits alone by the hole, holding the rod in a daze.

She didn't mean to fish, but there were always unexpected surprises, the fish was hooked quickly, big and fat, and Yun Xiu took the net and released it.

Tossing back and forth until Chunliu returns.

Chunliu stood beside her out of breath, stroked her undulating chest and said, "Grandma, why are you running here, it's easy to find a slave." “

"Something delivered?" Yun Xiu asked.

Chunliu's face was embarrassed, "Grandma, the slave maid is trying to tell you about this, but I don't know how to speak after thinking about it all the way." “

Yun Xiu: "It's okay for you to say it. “

"Grandma," Chunliu said, "It's going to be the New Year, what's that, Mother Fang said." “

"What did Mother Fang say?"

Chunliu couldn't weave it, so she told the truth, "Grandma, the slave said, don't be sad." Fang's mother said that this year is the New Year of the seven girls, no matter what the weekdays are, the palms and backs of the hands are meat, the white-haired people send the black-haired people is a great sorrow, the old lady is sick, dreaming and shouting the name of the seven girls, when you wake up, blame the seven girls and blame you, this will be rice cakes are not wanted, Fang's mother advises you to want to open some. “

"Grandmother blames me for killing the seventh sister?" Yun Xiu almost burst into tears, "Okay, I know, you go and help me take a look at Brother Huan'er, remember to hand over the little clothes to the nurse." “

Chunliu was a little scared: "Grandma, if you are not happy, it's okay to cry." “

Yun Xiu endured it to the extreme, "You go quickly, it's unlucky to cry flowers and face during the New Year." “

"The slave maid went to boil a bowl of ginger soup and sent it, you wait a while." Chunliu was really not at ease, and turned around and left three times in one step.

Yun Xiu looked at the other party's distant back, until it disappeared, then slowly got up, moved her legs and feet, and turned around and ran to the other side of the lake, she remembered that there was a small gate in the low jungle opposite, and the lock was rusty.

She found a large rock in the snow and slammed it against the door a few times, only to hear a "click" and the lock opened.

Yun Xiu pushed the door out without hesitation.

Behind the door was a quiet alley, covered with thick snow, she didn't care about wet shoes, trotted all the way along the foot of the wall, except for the alley, walked to the street, even guessed, asked someone to inquire, stumbled to Jiu'an Hall, found An En at the same time, her shoes were soaked, the hem of her cloak was full of mud spots, and she smiled at him in embarrassment.

"Doctor An, I'm here to accompany you for the New Year."

As she finished the last word, tears fell uncontrollably, and she crouched down and cried hoarsely.

An Entong was stunned, and said stupidly: "Madam, madam, what's wrong with you?!" Bullied, or what? Fang Cai Chunliu asked me for rice cakes, I gave them, isn't it enough? Not enough for me to have. “

He didn't say that the rice cake was okay, but when he said the rice cake, Yun Xiu cried even more sadly.

An Entong listened anxiously, frowned and didn't know how to comfort, silently stood aside, and listened to Yun Xiu crying: "Doctor An, I can't stay anymore, they all dislike me!" I want to go back to Yangzhou! “

"Madam, you drink a cup of hot tea first to warm up your body." An Entong got up and poured a cup of tea, squatted next to her, handed it over, and hesitated, "This will be the end of the year, and the businessmen will be closed, and I can only wait for the third year of junior high school to return to Yangzhou." “

Yun Xiu hugged her knees and shrunk on the ground, still crying.

An Entong had never seen her fragile and pitiful side, countless regrets overflowed his heart, and his voice was softer, "Madam, let's sit down first, squatting for a long time is not conducive to blood and qi circulation." “

Yun Xiu snorted, got up obediently, took a few steps back, and sat in the circle chair.

An Entong asked, "Are your legs numb?" “

Yun Xiu shook his head.

An Entong said again: "I'll boil you some medicine to dispel the cold, drink it, and send you back, okay?" “

Yun Xiu still shook his head.

An Entong sighed: "Is it okay to drink the medicine first?" “

Yun Xiu nodded.

An Entong grabbed two or three kinds of medicinal materials, decocted the medicine himself, and then filtered the medicine residue, and brought it over to put it on the table, "Be careful of scalding, it's a little bitter, eat a candied fruit and press it for a while." “

Yun Xiu did it one by one.

Seeing that she didn't cry, An Entong breathed a sigh of relief, "Madame is willing to tell me what happened?" “

Yun Xiu shook his head.

"Okay, if you don't say I won't ask." An Entong moved a chair to sit next to her, "You haven't eaten yet, I bought some small pastries, do you want to try them?" “

Yun Xiu said in a thick nasal voice: "If you don't eat, you have no appetite." “

"Your shoes are soaked, I'll bring them to the charcoal basin for you to dry." An Entong wanted to help her take off her shoes, but Yun Xiu refused.

"I'll go by myself," she said, "and you lend me a little quilt to cover it, and the cotton socks will be baked when they are wet." “

An Entong said, "I'll go get the quilt, you sit still." “

He went out and came in quickly, holding the blue coarse cloth quilt, and smiled awkwardly, "This is the smallest, you will use it." “

Yun Xiu saw that the quilt was very clean, and subconsciously asked, "Whose quilt?" “

Ann Tong smiled: "Me, I sometimes sleep in the duty room. “

"I'm dirty, how can you use it," Yun Xiu excused, "I'll just cover the cloak, and I'll trouble you to run for nothing." “

An En was obedient to Baiyi, "It's not troublesome, if you don't want me, I'll take it back." “

"You take it back," Yun Xiu shook off the dried cloak, "It's quite thick, like a small quilt." “

An Entong put the quilt and came back, seeing that the sky was getting darker and the snow was getting heavier and heavier, he was very uneasy, so he went into the house and persuaded: "Do you have any other places to go, I will send you away in a while." “

It is impossible to stay overnight in Jiu'an Hall.

Yun Xiu thought about it and reported the address of the small house.

When the housekeeper opened the door, she was surprised and delighted: "Oh, grandma, why are you here?" “

Yun Xiu showed fatigue, went back to the house, and asked someone to prepare bath water.

The mother-in-law entered the house to serve and noticed that something was wrong, "Grandma, are you alone?" The minion is called the kitchen to prepare food. “

Yun Xiu was immersed in the bathtub, "Don't bother, just put down the bowl of noodles." “

The mother-in-law answered and withdrew.

***

Changchun Garden

"I said I wasn't allowed to look for her!" The county lord of Pingkang blushed, pointed at Ling Xiao, and said angrily, "If you take a step out of the garden today, don't recognize me as a mother!" “

Ling Xiao frowned, suppressed his anger and said anxiously: "Mother, why are you aggressive during the Chinese New Year. “

"Oh! You also know that the Chinese New Year is celebrated! Don't Yun Xiu know?! Lord Pingkang slapped the table twice, "I didn't reprimand her twice, so I ran out, Cheng Riye is used to it, and I can't close it!" “

"You can't train her after the New Year?" Ling Xiao's clenched fists tightened again and again, "There are still three days to call Huazi, you want to come out of one and one out, and it's not over to take Brother Huan'er away, do you have to ask people to be low and small?" “

"You are presumptuous!" The lord of Pingkang reprimanded, "Mother-in-law teaches her daughter-in-law a natural lesson! She ran away before, I didn't punish her, and this time she ran again! I feel that Mrs. Houfu is difficult to be, so I leave as soon as possible, and any girl in the Beijing circle is better than her! “

Before the words fell, the old marquis's voice sounded in the inner room: "Ling Xiao! Don't go looking for someone yet? “

Ling Xiao was pardoned. Grab the big gun, turn around and get out of the house.

"What do you think? Just indulge your daughter-in-law like this? Seeing that he couldn't stop his son, the county lord of Pingkang rushed to the back room and snatched the book from the old marquis's hand, "Why did you go to find Yun Xiu?" She ran away from the back garden without saying a word, shouldn't she be punished?! “

"How do you want to be punished?" The old marquis raised his eyelids, "It's dark outside, and she's a woman living on the streets, aren't you worried?" “

"Why should I worry?" Lord Pingkang was furious, "She is dissatisfied with my mother-in-law, blocking my heart, and the New Year will not stop, no one should think about it!" “

"In front of Ling Xiao, I won't disgrace you," the old marquis said lightly. Pulling back the book from her hand, she opened it and continued to read, "I can hear what you Xun Yunxiu said clearly, so you can figure it out yourself, but the New Year should have a New Year." “

The lord of Pingkang County was pouting, she didn't have nothing to say, but she didn't dare to provoke her husband's anger.

As for Ling Xiao, like an ant on a hot pot, he rode back to the Hou Mansion in the snow, but did not find a figure, and then went straight to the small mansion, and when the housekeeper opened the door, he pushed the door and entered.

When the mother-in-law saw the master's face, she immediately understood. "Little Hou Ye, grandma took a bath, ate half a bowl of noodles, and slept."

Ling Xiao paused, the big stone in his heart fell, and he turned his head and asked, "When did she come?" “

"Before dark, at the specific hour, the minions didn't pay attention." The mother-in-law opened the curtain for him, "The eldest grandmother cried when she first returned, but the slave didn't dare to ask more." “

Ling Xiao waved his hand, "I know, you go down, you are not allowed to enter the house without my permission." “

Mother-in-law takes orders.

There were no lights in the house, and the sound of firecrackers outside the house was undulating.

Ling Xiao didn't believe that Yun Xiu could sleep, he walked silently, stood on the side of the bed, stared at the delicate back for a long time, suddenly jumped into the side bed, pulled the person over, and kissed unscrupulously??

It was sunny and bright, and when she woke up, she found herself lying on the couch.

The people around him were still sleeping, and Yun Xiu moved, and his whole body was sore and painful.

Ling Xiao felt the movement, subconsciously fished people into his arms, hugged them tightly, and fell asleep again.

It was quiet outside, but Yun Xiu smelled the smell of roasted sweet potatoes and felt hungry.

She pushed Ling Xiao, but didn't push it, leaned into his ear and said, "I'm hungry, I want to eat." “

Ling Xiao said confusedly: "I'll squint for a while." “

So, Yun Xiu was pressed, endured hunger, and smelled the sweet potato fragrance for a quarter of an hour.

When Ling Xiao woke up, her clothes were all over the ground, and her shoulders were still red and purple, she raised her hand and touched it, gasping in pain.

Ling Xiao took the ointment and applied it to her, and the two faced each other silently.

Then he brought a clean coat and threw it to her, and asked, "Why did you sneak away?" “

Yun Xiu didn't want to answer: "No, why." “

"I heard Chunliu say, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is the death day of the new dead, your seventh sister." He paused and said evasively, "Grandmother is inevitably resentful, I will go for you and put incense on the pillar." “

"No, you don't." Yun Xiu put on one by one clothes, "I don't want my mother-in-law to use Yun Shu's death as a pawn, and the girl who married out spilled the water, and her mother's family affairs can be managed." “

"I didn't look for you in those days, it wasn't because my mother stopped me," Ling Xiao guessed a few points, "It's really too busy, a few times I was busy until midnight, and I rested in the Privy Council." “

"Why didn't you tell me?" Yun Xiu asked, "I'm not a vexatious person. “

Ling Xiao sighed, "I think it's better for you to be separated from your mother." A few days of downtime is a few days. “

Yun Xiu lowered his eyes: "You are blaming me." “

"What can I blame you," Ling Xiao smiled, "It's not a pleasure to change anyone for the New Year, when you left for a few days ago, my mother saw me and said it once, blaming me for spoiling you." “

"I didn't." Yun Xiu didn't overdo it, "My mother-in-law just dislikes me, I pick bones in eggs, I can't do anything right." “

"She still hates another person." Ling Xiao touched her face, "No one is perfect, you should be more tolerant, huh?" “

"I don't want to be tolerant." Yun Xiu said, "I want to be tolerant and tolerant in everything, and no one will tolerate me." “

Ling Xiao thought to himself that he would celebrate the New Year in peace first, "Okay, let's go to Jizhou to play for a few days on the fifth day of the new year, and it just so happens that Qin Ying is leaving, so I will practice it for him." “

Yun Xiu didn't believe it: "Don't deceive people, Commander Qin moved his family to Yanjing, how could Qin Ying set off from Jizhou." “

Ling Xiao sighed, "Their family is not hiding quietly, and they are going back to Jizhou Zhuangzi in the twenty-fifth year." “

Yun Xiu hesitated and sighed, "Mother-in-law will definitely not allow us to go." “

"You don't care about this," Ling Xiao was hungry and asked someone to bring food in, "Let's go back to Changchun Garden after eating, don't make my father unhappy during the New Year." “

"Got it." Yun Xiu thought for a while and asked, "Did my father-in-law lose his temper yesterday?" “

"No, I'm so angry." Ling Xiao said, "My father must be worried. “

"Then I'll go back and confess to my father-in-law."

"Forget it if you admit your mistakes, say goodbye to the old and welcome the new, and say a few nice words, my father is not careful."

After having a meal, Yun Xiu tidied up and followed Ling Xiao out.

Back in Changchun Garden, although the county lord of Pingkang had a bad face, he didn't say anything, the old marquis smiled, as if nothing had ever happened, Yun Xiu said a long list of auspicious words in front of the two elders.

"It's a slippery mouth." The county lord of Pingkang looked slightly gloomy and agreed, "You go to see Brother Huan'er." “

Yun Xiu said yes, flattered and thanked, and turned to find the nurse.

She was playing with the child, and Chunliu took advantage of the nurse's absence and asked in a low voice, "Grandma, where did you run yesterday?" The slave and maid were so frightened that they didn't sleep all night. “
