In the end, Shao Wanyun, who was sitting there and hesitating for a long time, said with a half sense of loss: "If she doesn't have a good impression of me, then why does she need to hold my hand?" ”

When the sound fell, Shao Wanyun spread out her right hand and looked at it stupidly.

Jiang Zuiyao could understand Shao Wanyun's suffering, and said: "So you have to see him, express your affection clearly, and ask his mind clearly, otherwise your unrequited love is meaningless, and when the New Year is over, your parents will definitely tell you about matchmaking, what will you do then?" ”

Shao Wanyun was still a little hesitant: "Can ...... But what if he doesn't like me? ”

Jiang Zuiyao pursed her lips and smiled: "If you don't like it, you don't like it, although it will be sad, but you at least express your affection, and it is better than marrying someone else in the future, thinking about him for a lifetime, so it is also unfair to your husband in the future." ”

Shao Wanyun frowned and was distressed for a while before she said, "Okay, I'll think about it when I go back." Sister-in-law, don't tell anyone about this incident I told you today, okay? ”

Jiang Zuiyao smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll keep it secret for you." ”

"It's getting dark, I'm going back." , After saying this, Shao Wanyun got up.

Jiang Zuiyao asked Linghui to send Shao Wanyun out, and when she was far away, she said by Jiang Zuiyao's side: "Why should the master bother with these idle things." ”

Jiang Zuiyao looked up at Xi Jun and frowned slightly: "Because when I saw her, it was like seeing Jiang Zuiyao in the past." ”

Xi Jun was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that the master also liked others in the past?" ”

Jiang Zuiyao waved his hand: "That's it, it's all in the past, I don't want to mention it again." ”

The next day, Jiang Zuiyao left to go to Zuiyao Pavilion, this busy day passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was close to the New Year, and on the twenty-third day of the New Year, Jiang Zuiyao returned home.

Back in the east courtyard, Li Yan greeted him with a smile: "Young lady, you're back, come into the house to warm up, after noon, the mansion will be lively." ”

After entering the house and taking off her cloak, Jiang Zuiyao asked, "Today is the New Year, how is the mansion going to be lively?" ”

Li Yan followed Jiang Zuiyao's side, and while walking to the inner room, he replied: "After noon, the young lady wants to follow the lady and the master to the sacrificial stove, and then hang the peach charm to ask for peace, and after hanging the peach charm, he will go to welcome the Spring Festival couplets, this year the lord has spent a lot of money to find the Spring Festival couplets written by a famous teacher in Kyoto, and then he needs to ......."

Before Li Yan finished speaking, Jiang Zuiyao waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say it, I just need to follow along." ”

Li Yan nodded: "This year, the young master is not here, you can't be absent." ”

Jiang Zuiyao asked suspiciously, "Shao Ziqing didn't come back?" ”

Li Yan nodded again: "Well, I heard that I won't be going back to the house for the New Year this year." ”

Since the last time Shao Ziqing left, he has never seen anyone again, Jiang Zuiyao sent Xi Jun to follow, and when he saw the palace, he didn't dare to investigate again, and no one knew where the others were or where they went.

However, Jiang Zuiyao didn't pay attention to it, people are not better, but she is quiet.

Cuiyun walked in with Shao Chuyi in her arms and said, "Young lady, the slave maid has just been fed." ”

Jiang Zuiyao smiled happily when she saw the child, and hugged her in her arms, her tender face was very cute, she couldn't help pinching it, and asked, "Is Chu Yi still crying at night now?" ”

Cuiyun replied: "Except for sometimes when I am hungry at night and looking for milk to eat, I don't cry, and sometimes I can sleep until dawn." ”

Jiang Zuiyao nodded reassuringly, this child has hardly left her since he was born, and after her careful care, he has gained more than one circle of weight when he was born, and he is getting better and better day by day.

Cuiyun said again: "The young lady is really capable, just gave the young lady a few pills, and the young lady is in good health, originally the slave and maid were still worried, and the slave and maid also thought that they would invite the doctor to come and take care of it, but now it seems that the young lady is much more powerful than those doctors outside." ”

Jiang Zuiyao raised her lips and smiled: "You dexterous mouth, it's really condescending to be a nurse." By the way, at dinner, let the kitchen make some glutinous rice paste to feed Chu Yi, you don't have to eat too much, just two or three spoonfuls. ”

Cuiyun nodded in response, "Okay, the slave knows." ”

Linghui interjected on the side at this time: "Since Miss Beat landed, the Shao family has not taken care of it, if it weren't for the young lady who has been taking care of it, where can it be so healthy." ”

Jiang Zuiyao's face sank: "You are not allowed to say this kind of thing outside, so as not to cause trouble." ”

Linghui glanced at her unhappily: "Originally, Miss's full moon wine didn't work, after all, it was also the first child of the Shao family, which is really unreasonable." ”

Jiang Zuiyao didn't answer again, and the people present were silent, and after a long time, Li Yan said: "Now the son of the third young master is raised under the knees of the lady, and the lady likes it very much, so she called two nurses to raise it, and also brought four maids to serve, and now the child is white and fat." ”

Jiang Zuiyao didn't care about the child, but thought of the red lotus, so she asked, "How is the red lotus doing in the mansion?" ”

Li Yan couldn't help but sigh: "It's just a companion room, and Mrs. doesn't like her, these subordinates in the mansion will naturally not be treated kindly, and a while ago, he also caused charcoal to catch fire, and was punished by Mrs. to kneel in the courtyard overnight, and it happened to catch up with the heavy snow that day, and I heard that it was the second half of the night when people passed out and were carried into the house." ”

When Jiang Zuiyao heard such news, she couldn't help but be shocked: "What about the third young master? Does he not care? ”

Li Yan replied: "That day, I was catching up with the third young master who was not in the mansion. ”

"The third young master has to go home, right? What happens after you know it? ”

"When the third young master came back on the second day, he invited a doctor to treat Honglian, and I heard that his body is almost nourished now."

"The third young master didn't protect the red lotus and went to ask his mother for an explanation?"

"The third young master has always been filial, and he has never disobeyed the lord and his wife since he was a child, besides, the house has been burned, and it is wrong for the third young master to ask for an explanation."

"Although there is a mistake, but it is not intentional, the little punishment is awake, why let people kneel in the courtyard all night, and it is still snowing heavily, isn't my mother afraid of getting into a lawsuit?"

"Hey, it's just a companion, to put it bluntly, it's the same as the subordinate who serves people, it's a stranger with no relatives and no reason, who will be held accountable if he dies?"

Jiang Zuiyao became more and more angry the more she listened, and breathed a deep sigh of relief: "Mother is really a bit excessive, how to say that she also added a man to the Shao family, no matter how I don't like her, I can't be too ruthless for the sake of the child's affection, and the mother is not afraid that the child will grow up in the future, how will she think if she knows these things?" ”

No one present dared to answer, for fear of saying something wrong.

Jiang Zuiyao looked at the sky, the hour was still early, handed over Chu Yi in her arms to the nurse, opened the cabinet and took out a few clothes that had not been put on, and then went to the warehouse to get some items, and then went to the west courtyard.
