Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Grandmother wants to hear her granddaughter's truth?" “

"Naturally. “

"My granddaughter just wants to accompany her grandmother in this life, and if my grandmother is not there, my granddaughter will find a clean place and always accompany the green light for a lifetime."

"Nonsense!" The old lady scolded, "I only joke about children when I talk about this on weekdays, are you really thinking?" The Yun family has been an official for several generations, and when it comes to your father's head, there is a Taoist aunt, where do you want him to put his face, and how to explain it to the elders of the clan? “

Yun Xiu pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head and continued to copy the scriptures.

The old lady was displeased, so she talked about the matter: "You are sixteen this year, and you have reached the age of saying that you are married, and the six girls are not far from ten, and then it will be your turn." “

Yun Xiu muttered in a low voice: "Isn't there still a seventh sister?" “

"Her mother has the ability, I only care about you." The old lady snorted coldly, "Although the seventh girl is not as good as you everywhere, she is much more concerned about family affairs than you." “

"Grandmother, she's waiting to climb the branches." Yun Xiu couldn't hold back, "It's already an honor for the second sister to marry into the Dingguo Mansion, the seventh sister is not in good health, no matter how high Aunt Ding has a heart, how high can she climb?" The granddaughter doesn't want to marry is in her heart, you think it's an eyesore, and I will move to Zhuangzi in the summer, and it just happens that there is a steward over there, and the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders. “

"The more you talk about it, the more bastard, it's really hard wings!" The old lady slammed the table, causing the teacups to crash.

The room was surprisingly quiet for a while, and Fang's mother understood the old lady's temper and quietly withdrew with Chun Tao.

In early spring, it was dark early, and a few oil lamps were lit in the house, and the warm orange light illuminated Yun Xiu's beautiful face. Even the corners of his eyes and eyebrows softened.

"My Xiu'er has grown into a big girl." The old lady's anger came and went quickly, and she half-closed her eyes and sighed, "Your family, grandmother will never wronged you for half a point." “

The white jade wolf in Yun Xiu's hand paused, the old lady attaches great importance to etiquette and education, the older she gets, the more she values reputation and face, and if she continues to talk about it, it will only cause more unhappiness.

She hurried to finish copying the scriptures and took the spring peach to send the old lady away, which was a sigh of relief.

"Girl, girl," Chun Tao followed behind, lowering her voice, "The old lady was here just now, and the slave didn't dare to say it, Zhongyihou's medicine bottle was gone." “

Yun Xiu frowned: "Have you looked for them all?" “

Chun Tao nodded again and again: "It wasn't Mother Fang who asked, the slave maid always thought that the medicine bottle was in the old lady's hand, but Mother Fang said that the things had already been handed over to the mother-in-law below, thinking that they had been handed over to us." “

Yun Xiu had a bad premonition: "Have the people below asked?" “

"Mother Fang sent someone to ask. Said to take it if you find it," Chun Tao looked at the sky outside the glass window, "I guess it's been almost an hour, and I haven't seen Fang's mother's people coming, girl, the slave is worried??"

"Wait."

Yun Xiu knew what she was going to say, even if someone deliberately took it back to the mansion to play a trick, it would be too late for them to be in a hurry.

***

When Ding Meisheng and her mother arrived at the house, it was already dark.

Yun Shu coughed a few times when she got out of the car, and said to Ding Meisheng: "Mother, you go to your daughter's house and sit down, your daughter has something to tell you." “

"You're getting better, don't talk much." Ding Meisheng touched her daughter's hair distressedly, "I'll go to the study to find your father, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." “

"Mother, don't go." Yun Shu grabbed Ding Meisheng's sleeve and coughed twice, "Let's go back to the house." “

Ding Meisheng didn't know what medicine she was selling in her gourd. I was worried that my daughter was in a hurry to get sick, so I comforted me again and again: "Okay, I'll go back with you." “

Back in the house, Yun Shu's clothes rested on the bed, she walked the girl in the house, and said bluntly to Ding Meisheng: "Mother, you shouldn't take the eighth sister's things today, if your grandmother finds out, you are the only one who suffers the bitter fruit." “

Ding Meisheng disagreed: "I have your father's support, and I'm afraid that the little hoof won't make it." “

"Is Daddy really backing you?" Yun Shu drank saliva to moisten her throat, "Mother, you never thought that Daddy would rather raise a few concubines for more than ten years, but he didn't renew the strings, is there no reason?" “

"Your father has no time to think about personal matters for the sake of his career, so he doesn't have a plan now." Ding Meisheng thought about it, and Le blossomed, "Your father promised, after the continuation of the strings, the names of you and your eldest brother will be added to the family tree, and then your eldest brother will be the eldest son, and the entire Yun family will be ours sooner or later." “

"If it's a matter of time, why bother?" Yun Shu looked at her suspiciously, "Just to tell Daddy, to vent evil anger?" “

"What's the evil spirit, my silly girl," Ding Meisheng said with a sinister smile, "I know your father's temper best, if he knew that girl had a private meeting with a man, it was not impossible to drive her away in a fit of anger." “

"Can grandmother say yes?" Yun Shu poured cold water on her, "Didn't you already tell your grandmother in Daming Temple, how did she say anything, saying that she came back early for the sake of my body, and the essence was towards the eighth sister, afraid that my mother would have another incident, so as not to let outsiders see the joke." “

Some words can deceive themselves if they are not broken, and once they are punctured, jealousy and hatred grow wildly.

"Since you have seen it through, I don't see you going to the old lady to be coquettish and flattering!" Ding Meisheng couldn't help but be annoyed, "Do you also hate me and look down on me?!" I don't want to think about who gave birth to you! “

"Mother, my daughter is loyal to you," Yun Shu suffocated her chest and coughed again, "If not, cough cough??" My body is not good, I, what is wrong with my eighth sister, cough cough cough?? Grandmothers are not necessarily partial. “

Her face was flushed with coughing, and her thin silhouette kept shaking, like a leaf withering at any time in the flickering candlelight, which made people feel pity.

Ding Meisheng patted her on the back while helping her, and her tone softened: "My mother is just an angry word, don't take it seriously, my mother will listen to you, and she will listen to you." “

"Is that true?" Yun Shu breathed a sigh of relief and turned her head, "If you really listen to your daughter, leave the medicine bottle." “

Ding Meisheng was puzzled: "What's the use of keeping you?" “

"Do you know who the man the Eight Girls saw?" Yun Shu asked, "The eighth sister grew up next to her grandmother, and with her temperament, if she is discovered by you once, she will never let you discover it a second time." “

If you think about it, this is indeed the principle.

Ding Meisheng asked, "The eight girls deliberately let me know?" “

Yun Shu said patiently: "Mother, the eighth sister said that you are waiting for this day, to prove that she knows that you will tell your father that even if she is protected by her grandmother, she will not dare to disobey the family motto." deliberately revealed that the quasi-father would not blame her. In short, leave this matter to the daughter, what is going on, just try it. “

Ding Meisheng was both curious and proud: "You have an idea?" “

Yun Shu nodded her head, "Before the results are out, don't tell your father." “

Ding Meisheng agreed.

***

The next day, when the sky was clear, the old lady said goodbye to the temple host, and then led her family to prepare to return home.

Yun Xiu was about to get into the carriage, but was stopped by Fang's mother: "Eighth girl, the old lady asked you and the sixth girl to sit in the back car." “

Yun Xiu didn't think much about it, and sat with Yun Yan.

Yun Yan's family affairs were settled, and her smile was a little shy: "Eighth sister, I have secretly seen it, Ye Gongzi has a good appearance." “

"Sixth sister is really not ashamed." Yun Xiu laughed and said, "Be careful of being discovered by the sixth brother-in-law, and lock you in the house every day, lest you look at other men." “

"Don't talk nonsense." Yun Yan nudged her, "I was heard by the mother-in-law outside, and the house was going to laugh at me again." “

"In the future, the sixth sister will have the support of the Ye family, and it will be too late for them to stammer." Yun Xiu laughed, but heard the noise of horses' hooves outside the car, and she subconsciously lifted the curtain to look out at Chun Tao.

Chun Tao will secretly point to the front, and say three words: Zhongyi Hou.

Zhongyi Hou with them?

Yun Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.

"What's wrong?" Yun Yan saw that she didn't speak for a while, and asked with concern, "Are you uncomfortable?" “

"It's nothing," Yun Xiu smiled at her and said perfunctorily, "Maybe I didn't sleep well, I will be fine if I make up for sleep." “

With that, she closed her eyes.

Yun Yan had to give up if she wanted to chat.

Daming Temple is not far from Yangzhou City, a group of people stop and go, and the sun begins to go west when entering the city.

Yun Xiu didn't know when and where Zhongyi Hou got off the car, because she really fell asleep halfway, and when she woke up, the carriage was almost at the Hanging Flower Gate.

"Mother, the boat is tired, the daughter-in-law has prepared hot water, you can take a bath to relieve your fatigue." Ding Meisheng saw the old lady greet her, and said flatteringly, "The master was called away on official business, and when he left, he specially explained that he would prepare more wine and food that you and the girls love to eat, saying that the temple is too light." “

"Vegetarian for good fortune." The horse's fart slapped on the horse's leg, and the old lady didn't even bother to look at it, "Go back to Huishoutang first, I'm tired." “

Ding Meisheng's expression was sneering, and her heart became more and more resentful.

When she arrived at Huishoutang, the old lady took a bath, leaving only Yun Xiu alone to serve.

"Zhongyi Hou's favor, I will pay it back for you by selling an old face," the old lady closed her eyes and enjoyed rubbing her back, "In the future, you will stay in the house honestly, and you are not allowed to run out on your own initiative, otherwise I will tell your father that you have good fruit to eat." “

"Thank you, grandmother." Yun Xiu chuckled lightly and roughly talked about the loss of the medicine bottle.

"Something that can't be put on the table." The old lady snorted. "How big a wave can an aunt make, with grandmother here, you don't have to worry."

Yun Xiu took a reassuring pill and accompanied the old lady to dinner before returning to her yard.

After a few days, she was tired and tired, so she took a shower and fell asleep.

??

At the time of the lantern, the courtyards were ready to be locked, and a petite girl in a dark armor slipped out quietly along the wall like a ghost.

Yangzhou has abundant products since ancient times, the waterway is smooth, the rich merchants in the city abound, there are many gold caves for eating, drinking and playing, even in the middle of the night, you can still see the lights and the prosperity of singing and dancing.

On the half-height stage in the lobby, the bewitching dancers from the Western Regions danced hard, but Ling Xiao was not interested at all, his expression changed from dazed, unhappy, to angry, and he just turned around with a dance.

He looked at his entourage with a calm face: "Did the eighth girl personally send this medicine, or did it entrust it to someone else?" “

The entourage shook his head: "Back to Master Hou, she is a girl with a face, and her subordinates don't know her." “

Ling Xiao took the medicine bottle in his hand and flipped it: "Did you leave a message?" “

"Say yes," the entourage looked embarrassed and stammered, "Say, say that her girl is thin-skinned, please respect yourself, don't force good people to be prostitutes, hurt the peace." “

"Excuse me?" Ling Xiao's eyes became sharp, revealing a faint murderous aura.

"Exact words." The entourage's heart was broken, and the eight girls were in trouble.

"Got it." Ling Xiao got up and slapped the medicine bottle on the square table, and when he raised his hand, the bottle shattered.

He had planned to leave for Beijing the day after tomorrow, but he decided not to leave that night.

Three days later, Yunzhidong received a letter from the Marquis of Zhongyi, and almost burned his mouth when he drank tea, and after returning home, he told Ding Meisheng to organize a banquet well, and went to Huishoutang to report the letter.

"Girl, you said that the Marquis of Zhongyi is good, why did you suddenly come to visit?" When Chun Tao accompanied Yun Xiu for a walk to eat, she wondered, "Didn't we repay the favor, the old lady's face is not big enough." “

Yun Xiu also felt strange: "He sent the post to his father, it should have nothing to do with us." “

"Yes." Chun Tao couldn't think too deeply, and the eight girls said that it had nothing to do with it.

But Yun Xiu's eyelids have been jumping non-stop for the past two days, as if something is about to happen.

On the day of Ling Xiao's arrival, he did not send someone to spread the word in advance, Yun Xiu was talking to the old lady in Huishoutang, and the mother-in-law outside panicked and said that Zhongyi Hou had arrived outside the weeping flower gate.

A room of people was stunned, and they didn't have time to change their clothes and hurriedly went out to greet them.

For the first time, Yun Xiu saw Ling Xiao dressed exquisitely, with a dark red robe with dark red unicorn trim on the placket and cuffs, and a mutton fat jade plate with a carved beast's head hanging on his waist.

She couldn't say anything, Ling Xiao greeted the old lady throughout the whole process, polite and courteous, and talked extraordinary. and Daming Temple are like two people.

After another quarter of an hour, Yunzhidong rushed back and invited Zhongyi Hou to the study to drink tea, and half an hour later, the banquet was seated, with a table for male guests and a table for female dependents, with an opaque seat screen in between.

It stands to reason that the girl who came out of the concubine can't be on the stage, but Ding Meisheng is selfish and can't be too obvious, so when she called Yun Shu, she brought Yun Yan by the way.

Compared with the men's table where they talked happily, the women ate quite quietly.

The old lady ate little at night, and returned to Hui Shoutang not long after the banquet began.

The sixth girl, Yun Yan, was under pressure from Ding Meisheng, so she left under the pretext of being full.

There were three people left, and there was nothing to say.

On the other side of the screen, after a few rounds of drinking, the more I talked, the more open.

"I'm not good at drinking, so I'll do it first as a respect, and then make up a joke." Ling Xiao raised his wine glass and drank it down, then said, "Last year, when the army marched to Mobei, my lieutenant picked up a wounded wolf cub outside the camp and said that he would release it when he was raised. “

"Don't wolf cubs bite?" Yun Zimo believed it, "What happened later? “

"Later," Ling Xiao glanced at the seat screen intentionally or unintentionally, "the wolf is not a dog, it is inhuman, it is wild and untamable, it grows up quickly, it has been mixed up in the camp for two months, and it is on duty at night to bite the horse that transports goods." “

"That adjutant is a fool!" Yun Zixuan used the strength of the wine to echo and shouted, "Beasts are beasts, and they can't be saved!" “

"Brother Zixuan is an understanding person, come on. Take a drink. As soon as Ling Xiao poured a full amount of wine, there was a squirming movement on the other side of the seat.

Yun Xiu's voice was cold: "Master Hou, father, two elder brothers, and the little daughter retired first." “

Cloud Cave hummed, it was agreed.

Ling Xiao caught a glimpse of the thin back, and after two glasses of wine, he actually tasted a trace of bitterness.

***

"Girl, Hou Zhongyi is too bullying, and he went to someone's house to accuse Sang and scold Huai." Chun Tao was uneven, "The uncle and the third master are too, blindly cheering." “

Yun Xiu's face was gloomy and he didn't say a word.

Chun Tao thought for a while and comforted: "Maybe what the old lady said, Zhongyi Hou has a small belly, and he doesn't dare to hate the old lady, hate the girl, girl, don't be angry, it's not worth it for this kind of person." “

Yun Xiu paused: "Impossible." “

Chun Tao didn't understand: "What the girl said is impossible?" “

"Grandmother will not offend the Marquis of Zhongyi." Yun Xiu hesitated for a moment, then turned around and walked away quickly in another direction.

Chun Tao thought she was confused, and hurriedly followed: "Girl, where are you going?" The way back is over there. “

"Go to Hui Shoutang."

"Now go to Huishoutang, the old lady is going to take a nap." Chun Tao said, "Mother Fang said that the old lady is old and tired, and you don't know how long you have to wait." “

Also, grandmother is old?? Yun Xiu chewed this sentence repeatedly in his heart, and his pace slowed down.

"Girl, let's go back," Chun Tao said cautiously, "The slave knows that you are not full, so go back and make you candy cakes, and last time I praised the slave and maid for their good craftsmanship." “

"I don't have an appetite." Yun Xiu was inexplicably depressed, "Go and sit in the backyard." “

She thought, relive her life, obviously avoid the biggest mistake, she thought she could live in peace, but she didn't expect new troubles to follow.

Yun Xiu smiled bitterly and flipped through the dusty memories, in her previous life, she spent all her energy on Xie Zongren, and paid little attention to the inner house, but there was one thing-

Before marrying Xie Zongren, she once gave Yunshu a rabbit, and when she went back to her parents' house to save relatives, she inadvertently asked about this rabbit, and a mother-in-law told her privately that she was killed by the seventh girl.

At that time, Yun Xiu felt uncomfortable, because Xie Zongren was in a hurry to leave, and he couldn't do it.

Now that I think about it, the seven girls who have never quarreled with the world hate her.

What do you hate about her?

Yun Xiu stared at the dim crescent moon in the sky, thinking for a long time.

"Girl, the wind is blowing, let's go back." Chun Tao reminded in a whisper.

Yun Xiu pulled back her thoughts and sighed, went back to the house and went to bed early.

At the same time, the banquet had come to an end, Yun Zixuan was too drunk and was taken back to sleep, Yun Zimo also left early because he had a morning class the next day, and finally Yun Zhidong sent Ling Xiao out of the house.

"Master, drink the decanting soup first." After returning to the house, Ding Meisheng didn't think that Yunzhidong was full of alcohol, untied his clothes, pressed his head again, and asked in a coquettish voice, "This strength is good." “

Yun Zhidong snorted in satisfaction, relying on the intuition of the officialdom: "Why do I think that there is something in the words of Zhongyi Hou today?" “

Ding Meisheng pretended to be stupid: "The concubine is stupid and can't understand the big things that the men talk about." “

"It's best if you don't know what's going on outside," Yun Zhidong's vanity was greatly satisfied, "Those who want to rule their country should first gather their families, my mother is old and can't afford to spend her mind, so you have to worry more about weekdays, and I can talk to the clan elders about the continuation of the string." “

When Ding Meisheng heard the word "continuation", her eyes suddenly lit up, "The things that the master explained, the concubine dare not forget." “

Speaking of this, she saw that Yunzhidong was in a good mood, and took the opportunity to say: "But in the few days in Daming Temple, there was a strange thing, and the concubine didn't understand it for a long time. “

Yun Zhidong fell asleep and perfunctory: "You should ask your mother about the gods and Buddhas, she is an old man who believes in Buddhism and knows better than me." “

"It has nothing to do with gods and Buddhas, it's eight girls." Ding Meisheng told the whole thing in a vivid and colorful way, and finally said aggrievedly, "The concubine has read a lot of books, and she can't tell the truth, I'm afraid that she will offend her mother and the eight girls." “

"Mother won't bother with you." After listening to this, Yun Zhidong woke up half drowsy, and thought of what was said on the wine table, "I still wonder, the Marquis of Zhongyi came to visit for no reason, so it turned out to be like this." “

Listening to the other party's tone, Ding Meisheng tentatively asked: "The master doesn't blame the eighth girl?" “

"It's her blessing to be favored by the Marquis of Zhongyi," Yun Zhidong said happily, "You are a woman who has no knowledge, and you don't know the status of the Marquis of Zhongyi's Mansion in the capital. “

"In this way, the Ling family is also considered a half-royal prince?" Ding Meisheng chuckled in her heart.

"What's counting, that's it! Now the Ling family is still on the banquet list in the palace," Yun Zhidong snorted impatiently, "Tell your woman what to do, sleep and sleep." “

He turned around and snored, but Ding Meisheng had insomnia, stealing chickens and rice, and poured out the little girl's piece.

??

The next day, Yun Zhidong rested, and after breakfast, he asked Yun Xiu to go to the study.

"My father knows a thing or two about you." Yun Zhidong sat behind the desk, took a sip of Longjing before the rain, and said in a deep voice, "I think you are young and ignorant, and the punishment is exempted, Zhongyi Hou will return to Beijing in the past two days, and you will go to make amends at noon, and practice it by the way, after all, he is close to your second brother-in-law, so as not to hurt and be angry." “

"My daughter didn't offend Zhongyihou, why didn't she compensate?" Yun Xiu understood and understood the other party's deep meaning, "Daddy, there is no excuse for the crime you want to add, forgive your daughter for being difficult to obey." “

Unexpectedly, the always well-behaved girl disobeyed herself, Yun Zhidong was unexpected, and she was a little unhappy: "Are you going?" “

Yun Xiu: "Don't go." “

"You!" Yun Zhidong sneered, "Okay, okay, no wonder Ding Xiaoniang said that you were spoiled by the old lady, I miss that you and your sister have lost their mothers since childhood, and they are everywhere, but they should be the fault of the son and not the godfather." “

Yun Xiu retorted: "Ding Xiaoniang said with empty mouth and white teeth that grandmother spoiled her daughter, what is the evidence?" Has Dad ever seen Ding Xiaoniang who is telling right and wrong in front of her grandmother? Your daughter is your closest bloodline, but you listen to one-sided words. “

"Fart!" Yun Zhidong smashed a teacup at Yun Xiu's feet, and the tea splashed, wetting the skirt and upper, "Don't think that you are protected by your grandmother, I won't beat you!" Come! Come! “

Immediately outside the door, two little guys entered.

Yun Zhidong pointed at Yun Xiu and was furious: "Put this unfilial thing in the ancestral hall!" When to kneel and understand what to put out! “

The little girl looked at each other, and a bold step forward and whispered: "Eighth girl, the little hand is heavy, you can go by yourself." “

"Don't worry about it." Yun Xiu glanced at him coldly and turned to leave.

The ancestral hall was quiet, shady, and a few beams of light came in through the heavy carved door panel, and Yun Xiu raised his hand to cover the light spots on the ground.

"Eighth sister, are you still in the mood to play?" Yun Zimo grabbed the gap and looked in, and lowered his voice, "It's rare that I don't have classes in the afternoon, I want to find you out to listen to books, and when I come back, I know that you are kneeling, Chun Tao cried urgently, what happened, and grandmother didn't care?" “

"Don't ask," Yun Xiu didn't want to drag anyone down, "Third brother, you go back, I'll be released when my father's anger is gone." “

"You don't bluff people, when I'm a three-year-old child, it's easy to deceive." Yun Zimo could also guess, "Is it Aunt Ding who sued Diao again?" I'm going to find my daddy. “

"Third brother, don't go." Yun Xiu's voice did not fall, and Yun Zimo ran away.

But with a stick of incense, Yun Zimo was put into the ancestral hall by two small servants and thrown to the ground.

"You guys!" He clutched his sore ass and hissed.

Yun Xiu's legs were numb on his knees, he couldn't move, and looked at him speechlessly: "Third brother, what's wrong with your face, your father hit him?" “

"It's not Dad," Yun Zimo got up in annoyance and knelt next to her, "I met Yun Zixuan halfway, I sarcastically said a few words to him, and he said nothing but did it." My father found out about our fight, so I'll stay with you. “

Yun Xiu was puzzled: "Why are you punished alone?" “

Yun Zimo was a little proud: "Yun Zixuan is a wine bag and rice bag, when I push it, he doesn't have long eyes and hits the pillar, knocks his head, cries his father and calls his mother, and laughs at me to death." “

"Hurt 1,000 people, and hurt yourself 800." Yun Xiu didn't understand what to be proud of, "Later, you admit your mistake to your father, don't delay reading." “

"I don't admit it, and I didn't do it first," Yun Zimo's stinky temper came up, "Eighth sister, you are still worried about me when the mud bodhisattva crosses the river, Chun Tao went to Huishoutang and knelt for nearly an hour, and her grandmother didn't come out." “

As he spoke, he sighed, "I find that every time my father loses his temper, whether it's right or wrong. Grandmothers don't talk to us. “

"My father is the head of the family, and my grandmother is not good at breaking her majesty." Yun Xiu understood the old lady's thoughts, but she was not sad that it was a lie.

"Ahhh

Yun Zimo sighed again, and then fell into a long silence.

The two of them were tired of kneeling and no one was watching, so they simply sat on the futon, and then looked at the sky outside, which was close to noon.

"I'm hungry." Yun Zimo rubbed his numb knees, turned his head and asked, "Eighth sister, are you hungry?" “

Yun Xiu had no appetite: "It's okay." “

"If you're not hungry, you have to eat," Yun Zimo is very experienced in punishing kneeling, "If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to kneel, maybe you won't be able to go out at night." “

As he spoke, he got up, crept close to the door, and looked out through the carved gap, as if looking for someone.

"Mo Ye, Mo Ye!" Hurried footsteps sounded outside, and he pushed the door a few more times. Didn't push it away.

"Don't bother, the door is locked." Yun Zimo said in the direction of pushing the door, "Xiao Wu, you go to the kitchen to find something to eat, there is a broken window behind the ancestral hall that can be opened halfway, pass it in from there." “

"My lord, when do you still want to eat!" Xiao Wu said anxiously, "What about the eighth girl?" “

Yun Zimo glanced at Yun Xiu: "What are you looking for her for?" “

"Eight girls!" Xiao Wu shouted through the door, "Chun Tao bumped into Aunt Ding in Huishoutang, the old lady lost her temper and looked for a tooth woman to collect people!" “

"What? What the! Yun Zimo's head was big when he heard it, "Chun Tao is making a lot of fun!" Now it's good! Eighth sister, eighth sister, you have something to say! “

"Xiao Wu, how long have you been with my third brother?" Yun Xiu approached the door and asked calmly.

Yun Zimo hurriedly said: "Xiao Wu is a child of the family, and he will accompany me at the age of ten, what is the use of you asking this." “

"Third brother, don't make any noise." The more panicked he became, the more he had to be calm, Yun Xiu touched the jade and gilt hairpin on his hair bun and handed it out from the crack, "Xiao Wu, you take it, wait for the tooth wife to pick up the spring peach, go out of the house, find a way to intercept them, and use the hairpin to exchange people back." “

Xiao Wu nodded again and again: "And then?" “

Yun Zimo also asked, "Where do people settle down?" She certainly can't come back. “

"Everything listens to Chun Tao." Yun Xiu pursed her mouth tightly, guessing what would happen to Chun Tao, "Xiao Wu, although she is a girl, she has not suffered a big grievance by my side, so you must protect her." “

"Please rest assured." Xiao Wu took the hairpin and turned to leave.

"What's this called?" Yun Zimo leaned his back against the door, the gluttonous insects scared away, his legs and stomach were weak, and he eased up for a while, "Eighth sister, the golden hairpin was given by my grandmother last year, you are really willing." “

Yun Xiu returned to the futon and sat down: "Third brother, you beat the eldest brother, Aunt Ding is sure that her father is at home, and her grandmother is not good at interfering, the fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, Chun Tao is heartfelt, I don't protect her, who will dare to follow me in the future?" In addition, we beat dogs and bully the master, this time we sell spring peaches, and next time we choke our throats, we can't protect ourselves. “

"Indeed." Yun Zimo couldn't refute for a while, "What next?" We can't get out again. “

"Wait." Yun Xiu said, "There is news, Xiao Wu will come back to report the news." “

***

When Xiao Wu found Ya Pozi on the street, Chun Tao had already broken free of the rope, jumped off the carriage, and limped into the crowd.

"Spring Peach! Spring peach! Xiao Wu threw a piece of silver to the coachman and hurriedly followed.

Spring peach foot bone. I couldn't run fast, and I was quickly caught up by Xiao Wu.

"I won't go back with you if I hit and die in the street!" She fought back.

"The eighth girl wants me to come to you!" Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Xiao Wu pulled Chun Tao to a secluded alley and took out a hairpin, "You should know this." “

Seeing the golden hairpin, Chun Tao eased up: "It's the girl's thing." “

"It's good to know." Xiao Wu didn't explain much, "You stand here and wait for me, I'll talk to you in detail after I'm done dealing with Ya Pozi." “

After saying that, he left, and after a while, he turned back, and he had an extra deed of sale in his hand.

"You take the contract." Xiao Wu handed it over and took a breath, "You can't go back to Yunfu, the eighth girl wants you to make your own decisions." “

"The girl was framed by them!" Chun Tao limped out.

Xiao Wu didn't ask much, where she went, he followed.

"Master Hou, there is a girl named Chun Tao outside who wants to see you." The attendants knocked on the door and reported outside.

Ling Xiao knew who was coming: "I don't see it." “

The retinue retreated. After a while, the knock on the door sounded again: "Master Hou, that girl said that you will wait until you see her." “

Ling Xiao snorted.

He thought of the words "forcing the good to become a prostitute" and became angry.

Love whoever you love, what kind of woman you can find when you go back to Beijing.

Ling Xiao was too lazy to think about it, and comfortably soaked in the pot Biluochun, and before he could drink it in his mouth, the door knocked for the third time.

"Nope! Boom away! “

The people outside the door did not answer immediately.

After a while, a crying and timid voice said: "Master Hou, the slave maid is looking for you at the inn, and finally found you, you scolded and scolded, the eighth girl did not complain, the slave and maid swore a curse, and before she had time to tell Lord Hou, she blamed the slave and maid for accidentally losing the bottle of medicine." “

Lost? Not rejected?

Ling Xiao's mood inexplicably improved: "Come in." “

The entourage led the two of them in, and in front of them was Chun Tao, her hair was scattered, her cheeks were red and swollen, her eyes were swollen from crying, and she couldn't walk, she looked really pitiful.

Ling Xiao asked someone to bring a chair to her.

"Master Hou, this is the little guy next to Third Master Yun." The attendant pointed to Xiao Wu behind him to introduce.

"You sent Spring Peach?" Ling Xiao looked at the other party.

"Yes." Xiao Wu bowed down, told him about what happened, and handed over Chun Tao's deed of sale.

"You're staying at the inn tonight." Ling Xiao was inconvenient, and he didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, "As for the eighth girl, I can't help anything." “

"No, no, don't bother the Hou Ye," Chun Tao pointed outside, "Ask an informed military master to go with Xiao Wu, explain the ins and outs to the master, and help the girl testify." “

"What if you don't go?" Ling Xiao felt that agreeing was tantamount to a slap in the face.

"If the girl refuses to give in, she will keep it closed." Chun Tao said, tears in her eyes, "Master Hou, you should take pity on my girl." “

"Okay, I see." Ling Xiao got up and took off his coat, and asked someone to arrange for Chun Tao to rest.

The entourage followed him out and asked in a low voice, "Master Hou, where are you going?" “

Ling Xiao got on the horse and pulled the reins: "Yamen." “

Attendant: "??"

The eighth girl is in Yunfu, not in the Yamen, does the Hou Ye have a score?
