Yun Jiao didn't know what to say, she understood Ru Yu's intentions, but her heart was not on him, and she didn't want to mistake him for nothing.

She put the bayberry to her lips and took a bite, the bayberry was ripe, very sweet, and juicy.

When Baliang saw her eating, he sat up from the ground and looked at her with blank eyes.

"You want to eat?" Yun Jiao raised her hand and touched its head: "It's not for you to eat." ”

"Meow." Eight taels stared at the bayberry, very greedy.

"Smell it for you." Yun Jiao looked at it sideways, and lowered the half bayberry in her hand for it to smell.

Baliang sniffed and turned around and lay down, Yun Jiao reached out and stroked it, her eyes were soft: "I'll just say it's not what you eat." ”

Ru Yu looked at her side face, and only when she looked at Ba Liang did her expression have some shadows of the past.

Yun Jiao slowly ate a bayberry seed.

Ru Yu brought it to her again: "Eat another one." ”

"You can eat." Yun Jiao raised her head to look at him.

Ru Yu suddenly raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth with a focused face.

Yun Jiao subconsciously pushed him away, and felt a little embarrassed, she raised her hand and wiped the corners of her lips and said, "I'll come by myself." ”

Ru Yu's hand stiffened for a moment, and she didn't care too much, just handed the bayberry in her hand to her.

Yun Jiao was a little reluctant to push it just now, so she took it: "How is the epidemic outside?" ”

"The official family made a letter of guilt, and appointed the hospital to go to the place where the epidemic outbreak was most intensive, and there were also the official family's personal soldiers......" He paused at this place: "At this time, the epidemic onset was extremely fast, from illness to death in only three or four days, and many of the people who fled at the beginning died on the way, and now the epidemic is basically controlled in Pennsylvania." ”

"The official family ordered the slaughter of the city?" Yun Jiao grasped the key point in his words.

Ru Yu was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "Forced by the epidemic, the official family is also a last resort......"

"What is the last resort, since the medical officer has been sent and the city is besieged, can't you wait a few days? Why not try to cure it first? Yun Jiao's tone was quiet.

"I heard that I tried many times, but I didn't get a useful decoction, and the official family also endured ......the pain," Ru Yu said and sighed.

"It's fine." Yun Jiao's eyes drooped.

When the city is slaughtered, the epidemic will not spread, and it is a pity that those ordinary people are killed.

At this time, Pu Jia came out with food from the small kitchen: "Girl, Young Master Ru, it's time for lunch." ”

When she saw Ru Yulai, she was quite happy in her heart, and now, only he could coax the girl to say a few more words.

The girl was always sullen, she looked anxious, but she couldn't help it.

After the aunt was buried, the girl sent all the people in the yard, leaving only her and Mama Li.

This courtyard is not big, and it used to be lively, but now that everyone is gone, it is very deserted.

Ru Yu often stays here to eat, and she has long been used to it.

Seeing that Pu Jia came out with the food, he turned around and went into the house to bring out the small table.

The weather is neither hot nor cold, so it's just right to eat under the porch.

"Where's Mama?" Yun Jiao looked up and asked.

"There is a fire burning, and there is a soup, girl, you eat first, and the slave and the maid will come immediately." Pu Jia smiled and went back to the kitchen.

"Jiao'er, come and sit." Ru Yu went to help Yunjiao.

Yun Jiao got up and sat on the side of the small table, took the chopsticks and handed them to him: "You run to me every day, don't you delay your schoolwork?" ”

"No delay." Ru Yu smiled gently: "I've almost been prepared, if it weren't for the epidemic, I would have passed the exam a long time ago." ”

Yun Jiao was silent, and she thought of her brother again.

My brother and sister-in-law didn't know what was going on, so they wrote to her when they settled down, but there has been no letter to them so far.

She dismissed all the people in the yard, only Gu Yizi was there, and it was not completely disconnected, and she also asked Gu Yingzi to receive her brother's letter for her.

She said that the silver was given as before, and Mama Qu and Gu Yizi refused to ask for it, saying that receiving a letter was just a gesture, and when there was a letter, she would send it to her, and she was not polite, and now she has no heart to make tea cakes, only relying on those items in the shop, which is really not much.

Fortunately, Mr. Wu still stayed, saying that he had received a lot of favors in the past, and he was willing to help her open the shop even if he didn't need to be paid.

Yun Jiao naturally wouldn't refuse to pay her wages, but after she distributed it, she had less money in her hand, but she knew that she couldn't complain about Mr. Wu.

Ru Yu served her rice, and served two bowls to Mama Li and Pujia, and finally served her own bowl.

Yun Jiao watched silently, Ru Yu didn't care much about the difference between respect and inferiority, which was very similar to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu used to see Mama Li, she was always very affectionate, just like when she was a child, and she often made fun of Pujia, and she didn't have a fight at all.

But it's such a good man, he's gone......

After the people in the courtyard were sent away, she ate and lived with Pu Jia and Mama Li, and no one at home cared about her.

After Aunt Qian went, she never went to Chunhui Hall, and naturally she never asked her grandmother to say goodbye.

That's an old pious woman who only pretends to be right and wrong, what's the use of honoring her? At the beginning, Yan Huan was moved to degrade his wife to a concubine, but she should stop her if she has any conscience, and she said that Yan Huan was a filial son, so she might listen to it.

But what did she do? She couldn't ask for it, I heard my mother say it before, and she also personally persuaded her mother, saying that she would never treat her badly.

Now he has lost his life.

However, what made her strange was that her grandmother had never troubled her because of the matter of asking for peace, and even called Mama Hua once and said something to make her have a good life.

She thought about it, probably because she was completely open-minded, and her grandmother was afraid that she would make a big deal out of it, so she was so easy to talk about.

In the final analysis, she is bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, if her mother was like her back then, maybe she would not have ended up with one corpse and two lives.

Mama Li came with Pu Jia with soup.

"Girl, Young Master Ru, you can eat first, there is no need to wait for us." Mama Li smiled and put the soup bowl on the small table.

"Let's eat together." Ru Yu smiled back at her.

Mama Li wiped her hands with Pu Jia and sat down, and the four of them began to eat.

"Girl." After taking a few bites, she opened her mouth.

"Hmm." Yun Jiao agreed.

She has long since stopped abiding by the rule of "eating and sleeping", she has experienced a lot, and has understood a truth, people must live arbitrarily when they live, and there is no need to restrain themselves for the rules set by others.

No matter what she does well or not, there are people who put their beaks, so it is better to choose a comfortable way to live, what others say, what does it have to do with her?

"The slave maid has not eaten the tea cake you made for a long time, and the girl is getting better now, can you make one for the slave maid to eat? The slave is hungry. Pu Jia pouted and coquettishly pouted at her.

Yun Jiao glanced at her and continued to chew slowly.

Mama Li took over the conversation and said, "I want to eat it too, and the girl can make a piece whenever she wants to, at any time." ”
