62, Fifth Brother, it's me
Xin Yituan was in the quilt, looking at the old lady sitting in front of the bed and Mama Qin behind her with dissatisfaction.
"Grandmother, if you do this again, I won't be okay with you!" Xin Yi was a little ashamed, and her grandmother laughed with Mama Qin for almost half an hour.
The old lady wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, she had a magnificent life in the first half of her life, and she probably pointed to this granddaughter for the rest of her life.
Xin Yi rolled up the quilt and arched on the bed, "Isn't it Kwai Shui, I know it too." Oh, grandmother, you are not allowed to laugh. ”
"The first time, who would think about it?"
Xin Yi saw that the old lady couldn't stop, so she simply closed her eyes, covered her head, and let her go.
But the old lady didn't let her go, and mended the knife on the side,
"How can you be so stupid!" The old lady couldn't help it, and laughed again, thinking that when she came to Kwai Shui, she didn't have a river of blood like Xin Yi, only a little bit of dirty pants, and I heard the female relatives and friends in the family talk about it before.
She didn't panic, she just calmly told her mother, and then listened to the advice.
And after that...... The old lady sighed in her heart, and then she met the man, and after a few good years, then the two broke out into a quarrel, and she came here.
Xin Yi stayed in Qingqiu with his master before he was twelve years old, and he saw many old grandmothers guarding the door, even if those of the master's admirers would bring their apprentices to the door, no one would say this.
As for the script, of course she had seen the word Kwai Shui, but the script wouldn't say where this thing came from.
Later, when she came to the Xin family in the world, she was young at first, and no one thought of talking to her about this, even after knowing the county lord of Baoping, she didn't discuss it secretly in private.
Therefore, Xin Yi is really ignorant.
"Fortunately, you came to your grandmother as soon as you felt that something was wrong, otherwise your grandmother would really be afraid that you would write a suicide note or something......" The old lady laughed without an image.
The laughter that has been missing for decades has been piled up today.
Xin Yi tossed and turned this day, coupled with menarche, this would lie in the warm quilt, and soon sleepiness hit.
The old lady sat on the edge of the couch, "Sleep well, grandmother is here." The tone is pampered.
waited until Xin Yi's breathing became steady, then he got up lightly, tucked the quilt, and quietly withdrew.
Until she returned to her own bedroom, the corners of the old lady's mouth were still hooked.
In front of the dresser, Mama Qin helped the old lady to spread her hair in a bun, and while combing her hair, she talked about family life with the old lady.
The old lady looked a little tired, but she still couldn't hide her joy,
"This kid wants to come to me as soon as something happens, and it startles me a lot at first, who would have thought that it would be such a foolish thing."
As soon as the old lady remembered the panicked and desperate expression of her precious granddaughter when she came, her face became gloomy, and she said with some disappointment,
"A slight mother is equal to no mother, but if the Xu family treats her with snacks, it will not be like this."
The girl she held in the palm of her hand, Xu actually treated her like that, and it hurt to think about it.
Mama Qin knew that the old lady had a knot in her heart for the Xu family and didn't want to be angry at night, so she changed the topic.
"The seventh girl has finally grown up, if it weren't for the one made by the eldest lady of the Leng family, she would probably have to talk to the Leng family about the round house."
Mama Qin was a little sorry, the Leng family and the Xin family have been friends for generations, and they have intermarried from time to time, and the old lady of the Leng family is reasonable, but it is a pity that the eldest lady of the Leng family is the eldest lady.
The old lady half-closed her eyes and said with a smile,
"The Leng family is good, but the mother-in-law who can't stand it is crooked, fortunately she didn't marry in, otherwise I don't know what Weiwei will suffer."
"Now that I have gone to Dieshan Academy, it seems that I am going to take a career path, a woman is an official, it looks beautiful, but it is not easy, and I don't know what that old thing thinks."
The old lady opened her eyes, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and sighed, "Originally, I still wanted to marry Weiwei back to the Zheng family, but then I thought about it, forget it, now the Zheng family sounds famous, but in fact, it is out of the center of the family, and everyone is thinking about how to come back."
The slight temperament is not suitable. ”
Mama Qin grew up with the old lady since she was a child, and later followed her from the Zheng family to the Xin family, the old lady and the old lady Xin went from love to breakup, she also saw it clearly on the side, and she was more casual when she spoke.
"The seventh girl's temperament is not good, don't look at her always scolding others and can't speak, in fact, her temperament is very light."
"The Xin family, probably except for you and the five girls, a few little boys, and the rest of the people are like a layer apart."
"It's light, in the three years in the other courtyard, I haven't seen anything she likes very much, and she hasn't lost her temper, and the old slave doesn't look like a child when she looks at her."
"Those who have been fasting and chanting Buddha for more than ten years may not be as indifferent as her, if others don't know, they still think she is a sister-in-law......"
If Xin Yi heard Mama Qin's words, she would probably applaud, but isn't it, she is a sister-in-law who is going to the Great Dao for immortality.
The path in this red and earthly world is nothing but her cultivation path.
The old lady laughed at what she said, stood up, sat on the edge of the bed, and looked at Mama Qin,
"I said, look at people, it's always a little bit worse, among these grandchildren, why do I only let Weiwei come to me? It's not because of her lightness. ”
"I love her and protect her because this child understands things and does things clearly, you say that the temper that has been practiced for decades is not as good as hers, and I feel that there are many people who have lived for decades, and they may not be as clear as she is in terms of knowledge in doing things."
Mama Qin looked at the old lady with tears and smiles, helped her untie her coat, and served her to lie down.
"The slave and maid are really inferior to you, and the seventh girl is not the best."
This was a little ridiculous, and the old lady was not annoyed, smiling,
"I know you don't believe it, if you don't believe it, look back, and know if what I said is right, that kid is not a cold person."
"By the way, did you send someone back to report the news? Don't see that she didn't go back at home, and she made chickens and dogs jump. ”
Mama Qin helped her cover the quilt and put a soup woman at her feet, "Not long after the girl came, she had already sent someone back to report the news." ”
"But Lord Yan and Lord Xiao haven't sent anyone yet."
The old lady here is not worried, "I told the kid from the Xiao family before Wei Wei left, it should be fine, and I will send someone to Dieshan Academy tomorrow to help her take two days off." ”
Menarche, and the blood is flowing like this, it is better to rest for two more days.
The old lady went through her mind again, and when she saw that nothing was missing, she closed her eyes with peace of mind and prepared to fall asleep.
Mama Qin put down the bed tent, blew out the candle, and lay down lightly on the couch opposite.
……
Xiao Yuanyou waited in front of the Xin family's house until it was dark and didn't see his carriage come back, and he couldn't help but wonder if the road had forked.
It is clear that the disciples of the Xin family said that Xin Yi never returned home.
He thought about it, got on his horse and ran to his house, and sure enough, halfway down the road, he saw the coachman in the daytime driving his horse leisurely towards his house.
"Didn't you ask you to send Miss Xin home?" Xiao Yuanyou's face was not obvious, and his voice was as light as ever.
The coachman faintly felt that Xiao Yuanyou was unhappy, but he couldn't figure out where to provoke him, so he thought it was his own delusion, and said happily,
"The little one did send the seventh girl back, but instead of going back to the Xin family, she went to the other courtyard on the edge of Dongyue Temple, I heard that the seventh girl grew up with the old lady?"
"How do you send people away, are you sure it's the Xin family's courtyard?" Xiao Yuanyou's tone was already a little harsh.
The coachman suddenly felt that the matter seemed to be very serious, and hurriedly said,
"It is indeed the Xin family's courtyard, and the old lady of the Xin family has lived there for decades, my lord, don't you know?"
Xiao Yuanyou was speechless, turned his horse's head without saying a word, and prepared to go to the city gate.
The coachman was distressed!
Isn't it right for him to listen to his mistress in advance? He must know if it is the Xin family's courtyard or not, and he doesn't know what kind of anger the adult is in.
When Xiao Yuanyou rode his horse to the city gate, he stopped with the reins, looked at the sky, and smiled self-deprecatingly, but he still didn't go out of the city gate and went back to the house.
The little one who has no conscience will leave without saying a word, who swore that he would learn to solve the case hard, and he left him and ran away at the beginning!
……
After a dreamless night, Xin Yi opened his eyes and stretched lazily, opened a corner of the bed tent, glanced at the sky outside, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he jumped off the bed barefoot in a hurry.
"I'm going to the academy today, I forgot, Jinchun, ...... My clothes ......"
The old lady who happened to enter the door was startled when she saw this, and Mama Qin on the side had already quickly stepped forward and pushed Xin Yi back to the bed.
"I forgot what I told you last night? At this time, I can't stand the cold, how can I get to the ground barefoot? Want to think about it? ”
The old lady nodded Xin Yi's forehead, hating that iron could not become steel.
Xin Yi stuck out his tongue and quickly retracted into the quilt.
"Don't worry, I've already sent someone to the academy to give you leave, and my family has sent someone to deliver a letter, so you can lie down alive."
Because Xin Yi was inexperienced, now that the Xu family in the third room was sick, the old lady was not at ease to hand over Xin Yi to her, so she insisted that Xin Yi was locked up in another courtyard for two days before she was ready to let her go out.
On the night of returning to the city, Xin Yi hugged the pillow and insisted on sleeping with the old lady, and the old lady was happy and naturally very happy.
"Grandmother, I'll come to accompany you next time the academy is on vacation." Xin Yi leaned on the old lady's shoulder and hugged the old lady with a smile.
"Okay." The old lady stroked her back, "In the future, if your mother tells you something, or asks you to do something, if you don't want to, you can refuse, you don't need to force yourself for anyone, you know?" ”
The old lady did not forget to tell Xin Yi, "One thing you must learn in life is to refuse other people's unreasonable demands." Even if this is your parents and elders, filial piety and filial piety are not rebellious, do you understand? ”
Xin Yi looked at the old lady with some consternation, this is a bit deviant, but it is very in line with the grandmother's temperament.
The old lady smiled slightly, "It's foolish and filial piety." ”
Xin Yi hugged the old lady, her nose was a little sour, she snorted gently,
"Your mother, this person doesn't have any bad intentions, but she's a little confused, you can listen to what you can listen to, and if you don't want to hear it, just listen to it."
"It's really uncomfortable, just go tell your grandfather, don't quarrel with her, it's too bad to spread the impact."
The old lady admonished gently.
Xu is the only daughter in the family, she has been favored by her parents and brothers since she was a child, and she has a gentle temperament, and everyone else will give three points when she goes out.
After arriving at the Xin family, the old lady had already lived alone in another courtyard, and there was no suppression from her mother-in-law, although she had an eldest sister-in-law, she would not be treated harshly.
It can be said that the Xu family has been smooth sailing in this life, and there is not even a concubine by her husband's side.
The Xin family's family plus the Shandong Xu family, when she goes out, others flatter her, and over time, she has developed her current temperament, and she is not thoughtful enough.
The old lady said a lot, and finally Xin Yi said in a daze, "Grandmother, it would be nice if you could go back to live in the house." ”
The old lady patted her hand on the back and paused, her eyes were astringent, and she did not speak.
A sweet night's dream, the next morning, after Xin Yi had dinner, he said goodbye to the old lady and got into the carriage to rush to the academy.
The lord of Baoping didn't see Xin Yi for two days, and after seeing her, his eyes lit up, and when he heard that Xin Yi had his first period, the lord of Baoping was happy, and quipped,
"Weiwei, you are grown up, you can get married, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, should we celebrate?"
"I heard that Xiao Wulang and a few friends opened a restaurant on Zhengyang Street, why don't we go and eat to see if the restaurant opened by a beautiful man tastes better."
The county lord of Baoping is not Xiao Wulang's admirer, she prefers another pearl in Beijing, Yan Wuming Yan.
She was shy, "Maybe you can still see Lord Yan." ”
Xin Yi knew how high the price of the restaurant opened by Xiao Yuanyou was, so he covered his purse and wailed, "Spare my purse, ladies and gentlemen!" ”
In fact, the main reason was that she fled like that two days ago, and she was a little afraid of seeing the fifth brother.
In case the fifth brother asks, what will she say at that time? The girl's family is not good to hype.
However, even if he was afraid to meet, Xin Yi decided to go and meet the fifth brother, and even if he didn't tell him the reason, he still had to apologize to the fifth brother.
There are requests from others, but people release pigeons, this is not her Xin Weiwei style.
She covered her purse, and heartily agreed to several unequal conditions of the lord of Baoping and her friends, and was happily released when she left school.
In the morning, she came by carriage, so she didn't wait for the Xinyan banquet of Hengshan Academy next door, but went directly to the restaurant last time.
Jinchun was left by her in the place where the case was investigated last time, and today she was alone, which is why Xin Yi decided to go to see Xiao Yuanyou today.
With no one behind, she was so easy to do.
When I arrived at the restaurant, there were guests sitting in twos and threes, and when the shopkeeper saw her, his eyes lit up a little, and he couldn't close his mouth with joy.
"Seventh girl, I haven't seen you for a few days."
As soon as he glanced at it, he saw the sapphire bracelet on Xin Yi's wrist, and he was even more overjoyed.
"Is the girl here to find an adult? Coincidentally, the adults are resting in the back yard today. ”
Xin Yi blinked and asked, "Why doesn't the fifth brother rest in the mansion, but ...... here?"
Just like last time, he said that if he wanted to find him, he could go to Dali Temple, or he could come here, but he didn't say that he would go to Xiao Mansion to find him.
The shopkeeper was a little embarrassed, but he still explained in a whisper,
"My family grew up with the old lady since childhood, after the old lady went, he grew up under His Majesty's knees, and when he was able to open a mansion and live alone, His Majesty gave a house to the adults, but in addition to the old man in the house, he is still the old man."
"Adults think it's too lonely, and their favorite thing is to rest in the backyard of the restaurant."
Xin Yi was stunned, she knew that the fifth brother's parents had been separated when he was a child, and the last time she saw Mrs. Tai'anhou's temperament, it turned out that the fifth brother's life experience was so pitiful.
The old shopkeeper with a bitter gourd skin on his face saw Xin Yi showing a look of pity, and he was secretly happy in his heart, and personally took Xin Yi to the courtyard where Xiao Yuanyou often rested.
There were several black-clothed guards guarding outside, and when they saw Xin Yi, Xiao didn't stop him, and said directly,
"Your Excellency is inside, Seventh Girl go in."
Xin Yi already had guilt in his heart for Xiao Yuanyou, but just after listening to the words of the old shopkeeper, he felt pity in his heart, so he didn't think about it, and raised his feet and went in.
The room was a little dark, Xin Yi stood at the door and got used to it, only then did he see a person lying on the window couch, with his back to this side, and his long black hair hanging down from the edge of the bed.
There were some official documents scattered on the desk at his feet, some of which were still spread out, and the pen rested on the inkstone, and there was still ink in the inkstone that had not been used up, all of which told Xin Yi that the person on the couch had not slept for a while.
She stood by the door for a while, wanting to withdraw, but she was a little curious about what Xiao Wulang, who had always been plain, looked like when he fell asleep.
In her heart, two villains were fighting, and one said that men and women could not kiss each other, so she was asked to withdraw.
One is to raise his waist to the sky and laugh, isn't it so beautiful, such a good opportunity was missed, but there is no next village for her to see.
The best, or the beautiful villain won, Xin Yi walked over cautiously, lightly tidied up the official documents on the table, and took the inkstone aside, saving himself from being kicked over inadvertently.
Xiao Yuanyou was lying on the side facing the wall, his back was very broad, standing on the edge of the couch, Xin Yi stretched his neck and looked in but didn't see anything.
In the end, he simply lay on the edge of the bed on his toes, stretched his head in, and vowed to see the sleeping face of the pearl in Beijing.
She leaned forward, close to Xiao Yuanyou's back, maybe the movement was too big, waking up Xiao Yuanyou, only to see Xiao Yuanyou turn over, Xin Yi was caught off guard, and the whole person threw himself on the bed.
It was also at this time that one hand struck like lightning, grabbing Xin Yi's throat and grabbing her neckline with the other.
Xin Yi closed his eyes and shouted, "Fifth brother, fifth brother, it's me, tap ......"
The hand holding her throat suddenly relaxed, Xin Yi didn't react, and the whole person pounced on Xiao Yuanyou's body.
The bridge of her nose slammed into his chest, hard, and painful tears were about to come out.
What greeted her was a snow-white mid-coat with overlapping necklines, and there was nothing messy about his sleeping position, so that people couldn't see anything else.
"Weiwei, why are you here? It doesn't scare you. Xiao Yuanyou didn't move, and the hand that grabbed her collar also let go, and there was a lazy hoarseness in his voice that he had just woken up.
Xin Yi saw that he was not angry, and felt very guilty, "I'm sorry, fifth brother, I woke you up." ”
Xiao Yuanyou's slender and bony fingers rubbed his temples, "It's none of your business." ”
"Weiwei, you get up first, I'll ......"
Xin Yi found that he was still lying on top of him, crawled up with a bone, jumped far away, covered his eyes, and looked at him through his fingers.
She only saw the setting sun peeping in through the window lattice and hitting him, outlining the lines of the body of the person on the couch.
"Why don't you sleep again?" Xin Yi hesitated, if she slept again, she would be able to see the beauty again.
Xiao Yuanyou sat up and raised his chin, "Help me bring the robe." ”
Xin Yi looked at the hanger, took off the dark robe on it, and hugged it to him.
Xiao Yuanyou turned his back and asked her while dressing,
"Aren't the guards outside? I heard that you haven't been to the academy for two days, what's going on? ”
There is no mention of her running away that day.
"Your guards are here, and there is something wrong, so I didn't go to the academy." Xin Yi replied sullenly.
Xiao Yuanyou walked to the shelf where the basin was placed, pulled off the handkerchief on his head and threw it into the basin with clean water, Xin Yi hurriedly went to help twist the handkerchief, hating to help wipe his face,
"Fifth brother, so many official documents have not been processed, are you tired? Do you want me to pinch your shoulders for you? ”
Xin Yi looked at Xiao Yuanyou flatteringly again.
Xiao Yuanyou, who had always been calm, stiffened, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and then threw the handkerchief into the basin and said in a deep voice,
"I'm not tired."
Xin Yi saw that his attitude was indifferent, a little frustrated, she knew that she was very wrong that day, she looked at Xiao Yuanyou expectantly,
"Fifth brother, were you angry that day? Are you angry? ”
All she had written on her face was, "Please don't be angry."
Xiao Yuanyou, who had been bored for two days, was in a bright mood and teased her, "Angry!" ”
Xin Yi's face fell, and he stammered, "Ah, that, that......"
What was she going to say about that?
Xiao Yuanyou watched Xin Yi's anxious and helpless appearance on the side, and couldn't help asking,
"Did it hurt you just now?"
Since an incident happened in his childhood, he has been very defensive, and he has just shot ruthlessly, so he is afraid of hurting Xin Yi.
Knowing that he was sleeping, Xiao Yi and the others recklessly put Weiwei in.
Although he was very happy about Weiwei's appearance, he was afraid that he would really hurt Xin Yi, and he was afraid when he thought about it.
It seems that Xiao Yi's training intensity is still too low, and they will have to add two more strengths after today.
Xiao Yi, who was happily pricking up his ears at the door to listen to the movement inside, had an inexplicable cold back and sneezed.
He stroked his nose, could it be that he was happy and sad and infected with the cold?
The next life of water life made Xiao Yi understand that it was not happiness and sadness, but why the flowers were so coaxing.
Xin Yi inside heard that Xiao Yuanyou was angry, so he closed his eyes and made up his mind, "Fifth brother, in fact, I left that day because of some things. It's hard to talk about the affairs of my daughter's family. ”
"However, I learned to solve cases with you because I wanted to find a special way."
Xin Yi's heart was pounding, she didn't want the fifth brother to be angry, she wanted to continue to follow the fifth brother to continue to learn to solve the case, so she couldn't let the fifth brother get angry and drive her away.
If the fifth brother knew what she was going to do, maybe he wouldn't be angry.
She didn't say where she came from, she just said that she was looking for something, which should be okay.
Xiao Yuanyou looked at her quietly, a special road, what kind of road?
He remembered what she said when she cried on his knees after Dongyue Guan, as well as her attitude towards the people around her, and his heart quickly turned, smoothing out one by one, and making it clear,
"Weiwei, have you ever thought that maybe everything is just your dream? You didn't have to look for that road at all, because the road itself is under your feet. ”
Xin Yi shook her head, she may not know much about the rules and feelings of this red world, but she is extremely persistent in Qingqiu's affairs.
She said firmly,
"No, I know everything is real, not a dream."
She clenched her palm, she had kept Master's farewell letter close to her, and she was wondering if she should show this letter to the fifth brother.
It's just that in this way, it proves that everything she said is not a dream, but with the cleverness of the fifth brother, he will definitely know where she came from.
Xin Yi bit his lip, not knowing what to do for a while.
However, she made the first move and asked, 'Fifth brother, do you see something?' ’
Xiao Yuanyou rubbed her head, "I just don't know what kind of road you are talking about." ”
He easily covered up the flaws that had just been revealed, "Weiwei, don't be too entangled in the present, and don't worry about the future." ”
"As long as you live in the moment seriously, when you have experienced something, the scenery in front of you will be different from before."
"If you can't even do what is in front of you, then how can you accomplish what you want in your heart."
Xin Yi was shocked there, and Master also said that when you don't know the future, you just need to focus on the present.
Do the fifth brother and the master know each other?
