Xie Yinghui was leaving, and Xie Mulin and Xie Yingfen couldn't keep her, but when the three sisters went out, they found that Xiangtao, who was originally sitting on the small pestle by the door and doing needlework, had already fallen asleep next to the wall, and the yard was quiet. The pantry was much darker, and the lights in the other rooms seemed to be turned off.

Xie Mulin and the others' actions alarmed Xiangtao, she woke up, and hurriedly got up to apologize to the girls: "I didn't pay attention for a while, I actually fell asleep, the girls forgive me." ”

Xie Mulin waved his hand, a little confused: "What time is it?" Is it late? ”

Although Xiang Tao didn't know the specific time, she still knew whether it was too late: "Before I went to sleep, I heard the second watch outside." The girls were so engrossed in their talking, they must have not heard? ”

The second is between nine and eleven o'clock in the evening, although I don't know how long Xiang Tao has been asleep, but it is likely to be more than ten o'clock in the evening. Xie Mulin's yard was still some distance away from the outer wall of his house, and the sisters had been chatting and had been very attentive, and it seemed that they had really not heard the sound of the change, and it was already so late.

Xie Yingfen was a little annoyed: "I still brought Ginkgo biloba." Originally, I thought that if I couldn't remember anything clearly, it would be convenient to call her over and ask directly, but I didn't think about it...... "She has a good memory, she didn't use Ginkgo at all, but she left people in the yard of the second sister for so long, and she must have delayed the time for Ginkgo to return to her aunt's house."

Xiangtao told her: "Ginkgo came first, and wanted to ask the fourth girl when she would go back, because she saw that the girls were talking in the warm pavilion, and she didn't dare to disturb, so she asked someone to go back and tell Aunt Qin that the fourth girl had something to leave her to wait for the night." When the messenger's mother passes by the courtyard of the four girls, she greets Fluttershy and Cicada, and Cicada follows her to the main courtyard to be a one-night errand in place of Ginkgo. She asked her mother to tell Ginkgo that Ginkgo could stay by the side of the fourth girl with peace of mind, and she didn't have to worry about Aunt Qin's lack of people. ”

Wanqin is now active in front of people again, and she has been courteous in front of the Wen family, and has slightly recovered the dignity of an aunt with status. Although there is no big girl Ginkgo biloba waiting by her side, she can still make the rough girl and mother-in-law in the main courtyard, and now she has a little cicada, and she can deal with it in one night no matter what. Ginkgo is Xie Yingfen's person, which has long passed the Ming Road in Wanqin, and she has nothing to suspect. Anyway, I have seen the Ye family during the day today, and I know a lot of details about the recent situation of the Cao family, and Wanqin's own mind is also messing up, so I don't have time to think about those who don't have it.

Xie Yingfen relieved herself when she heard this: "It's okay, Fluttershy and the others are clever enough to fool things over." Ming'er, I met my aunt, and I will explain a thing or two. Anyway, my aunt rarely comes to my place, and she won't leave the main courtyard at night, so she won't know that Ginkgo came with me to my second sister's place. "Actually, what if Wanqin knows? Except for a few more words, she has no choice but to take her daughter.

Xie Mulin asked Xiang Tao: "Ginkgo biloba should still be in the pantry this time, right?" ”

Xiang Tao smiled: "She is also tired today, just in the pantry while roasting the fire, while dozing, we are afraid that she will not be able to hold on, will fall directly to the ground, so let Xiao Tao take her to our house to take a nap." The girls need someone to call here, just tell me and the green banana. While speaking, Cuijiao walked in from outside the door with a large copper kettle: "Is the girl going to wash?" It's snowing outside, and this is freshly boiled water, so wash it while it's still hot, or it will be cold in a while. ”

Xie Mulin was a little surprised: "It's snowing? It's all right! "Walking into the pavilion and looking out of the glass window, snow beads were falling in the sky.

Seeing this, Xie Yinghui frowned slightly. Today was a sunny day, and the weather was fine when she went out, but she didn't expect that it had only been two hours, and it was snowing. Her outfit is not something she wears on a snowy day. If she wants to go back to the yard in the wind and snow, she is afraid that she will have to take a hot bath to avoid catching a cold. But...... That's too much trouble! It's so late!

Xie Mulin smiled and suggested, "Eldest sister simply stay and sleep with me for the night." See if there are anyone outside who hasn't slept, just ask someone to come to your courtyard and say something. Why go back in the snow at night? When the snow first starts, the ground is most likely to slip. If the eldest sister falls, it will be too miserable. ”

Xie Yinghui didn't hesitate, so she agreed: "Then I'll bother the second sister for one night." ”

Xie Mulin turned his head again and asked Xie Yingfen: "Why don't you stay with the fourth sister?" My kang here is quite large, and my sisters sleep on the kang together, and it is also very warm. ”

Xie Yingfen's heart was suddenly moved, she had never been so close to her sisters: "It sounds interesting." Then I'll squeeze in with my sisters for one night! Anyway, Ginkgo was already asleep, and she didn't really want to slip all the way back to her yard.

So the three sisters of the Xie family happily huddled together and washed with warm water. Xiangtao and Cuijiao moved the kang table away, brought clean pillows and bedding, and let the three girls sleep side by side on the big kang in the warm pavilion, without crowding at all. The three sisters huddled together in a quilt, and they all found the experience both intimate and interesting.

Xie Yinghui lay upright in the middle, looked at the ceiling and smiled: "It's really the first time I've slept with my sisters. My mother never slept with me! ”

Xie Yingfen covered half of her face with a quilt on the side, and said with a smile: "Although I haven't slept in a quilt, it's not that I haven't slept in a room." That year, our home was raided, and our sisters were trapped in the upper room of the main courtyard of the Jingli mansion, so we lived together for a few nights, right? ”

Xie Yinghui smiled: "How can it be counted?" I didn't sleep with you, and the second sister lay directly in the small storeroom. Speaking of which, the clean room was arranged in a small warehouse at that time, so it must smell bad, right? ”

Xie Mulin snorted: "The taste is only a little, but the small warehouse is clean enough!" I occupy such a large space by myself, and I still have good shows to watch from time to time, which is much cooler than you! ”

Xie Yingfen hurriedly sat up half of her body: "Speaking of watching a good show, I have always wanted to know, what happened to the letter that the Cao family asked his henchmen to search for the third sister back then?" Did the letter later fall into the hands of the second sister?! Where did the second sister hide it? I heard that the mothers also searched the body of the second sister, but they didn't find anything at all! ”

Xie Yinghui also became interested in this issue.

Xie Mulin smiled proudly: "This is naturally my secret, so I won't tell you!" ”
