At this moment, a few girls came not far away, searching everywhere for something, Xia Ruxue also lagged behind, looking around, and shouting anxiously: "Little girl, little girl, where are you......"

Seeing Xia Jinse there, the big girl next to Xia Ruxue ran over with the piano: "Eldest Miss, Second Miss's bird is gone, do you have a ......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly saw the budgie in Xia Jinse's hand and exclaimed: "Ah! The little boy is dead! ”

Xia Ruxue heard it, and hurriedly walked over, and at first glance, her face changed greatly.

snatched the dead bird, Xia Ruxue's hands were shaking: "Big sister, why are you ...... Why do you want to kill my little girl? This is the parrot bird that the Great Prince gave me, why did you kill it......"

Originally, she was still a little guilty, but Xia Jinse didn't ask when she heard Xia Ruxue ask, and she decided that she did it on purpose, and she was not happy.

"I'm sorry, second sister, there are too many sparrows in my yard, and I everywhere, so I'll let people beat a few. Unexpectedly, the second sister's parrot bird flew everywhere, and my girl accidentally killed it as a sparrow. She said lightly.

"Big sister, you, you're so cruel!" Xia Ruxue bit her lip, her face turned pale with anger.

This is a pair of budgies that the eldest prince sent to her yesterday, one yellow and one blue. She liked it very much, this was the eldest prince's heart for her, so she raised it as a treasure and named it.

But I didn't expect that when I was feeding today, she accidentally opened the cage and flew one, she hurriedly asked people to find it, but she died in Xia Jinse's hands!

How can she explain it to the eldest prince?

"Second Miss, this is shot down by the slave maid, if you want to blame it, blame the slave maid, it has nothing to do with the eldest lady." Shooting the moon stepped up.

Baoqin's face sank: "You girl, you are so bold!" She stepped forward and was about to slap the moon, but as soon as she stretched out her hand, the moon grabbed her wrist and twisted it, and screamed in pain.

"I'm the eldest lady's girl, and if you want to teach a lesson, it's also a lesson for the eldest lady, what are you!" Shooting the moon said coldly.

Her face sank, and Xia Ruxue's face was frosty: "Big sister, you girl is so majestic, even my people dare to teach a lesson?" ”

I only know that Xia Jinse has two personal subordinates around him, Mu Xiang and Aunt Yao, how can there be two more people who don't know each other?

Xia Jinse's expression was faint, and he hooked the corners of his lips: "What the second sister said is that the ninth prince just gave me two girls today, and I don't understand any rules, and even I don't dare to teach me a lesson." The second sister is capable, why don't you help me discipline them? ”

"The Ninth Prince?" Xia Ruxue was slightly surprised, these two girls were given to her by the Ninth Prince?

The Ninth Prince, Lan Beichen, has always been taciturn, as cold as an iceberg, and would actually send two girls to Xia Jinse? When did you become so familiar with her?

Shooting Moon and Chasing Cloud walked up to Xia Ruxue and said in unison, "Please discipline Second Miss." ”

After all, the two of them didn't even have a blessed body, and they didn't even look at Xia Ruxue with their eyes, and their tone was also straightforward.

Xia Ruxue suddenly became embarrassed: "No, no need, since it is the person sent by the Nine Princes, he must know the rules very well." ”

Shooting the moon said: "Second Miss, the slave maid shot your little girl, you should punish the slave maid." ”

"It's okay, yes, I'm not optimistic, no wonder you."

Xia Ruxue gritted her teeth and swallowed her anger, and she couldn't control her anger and wanted to slap this girl.

Patience, patience!

This is the person of the Nine Princes, and she can't afford to offend.

Looking at the aggrieved appearance of her second sister, Xia Jinse almost wanted to laugh, the two girls were so bold that they dared to speak to Xia Ruxue like this.

Xia Jinse finally couldn't hold back a smile and said, "Second sister, anyway, my girl accidentally killed your parrot bird, and I also have some responsibility." I'll go to the street and buy one for you when the sky changes, but next time you have to close the bird and let it fly, and the other one will die, and you'll be sad again. ”

Her face changed and changed, Xia Ruxue gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, thank you big sister for disciplining me." I was a little tired, so I went back first. ”

Seeing that she was about to leave, Xia Jinse stopped her: "Wait, second sister, I have something I want to ask you." ”

Withstanding her impatience, Xia Ruxue turned back: "What does the big sister want to ask?" ”

"The last time the queen mother's garden party, I heard that the second sister made a poem, the lotus leaves are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers are different red, and the second sister's literary talent really makes me admire......"

"It turns out that the big sister also knows."

Speaking of this, Xia Ruxue's face was a little better, and she said with a little humility: "That day, I saw the queen mother's thousand lotus pond lotus flowers blooming, and I was amazed for a while, so I made this poem." Of course, it's just a momentary inspiration, and it may not be so good to ask me to make another one. ”

Xia Jinse pretended not to understand, blinked his eyes and said, "But how did I hear that this poem was actually made by someone else, and the eldest sister just plagiarized?" ”

"Nonsense! Obviously, it was our young lady who did it, and someone must have been jealous and wronged our young lady. Huqin said loudly.

Xia Ruxue's face was a little uncomfortable, but she tried her best to control it, and said lightly: "Big sister, don't care about those people's nonsense, since I was praised by the queen's mother, some people can't look past it and deliberately smear me." But the clear self-purifying, I won't care. ”

Nodding, Xia Jinse said meaningfully: "Well, the Qing is self-purifying, I believe in the second sister." ”

"Since it's okay, I'll go back first."

"Wait, second sister."

Xia Ruxue was already impatient, and said with a calm face: "What else does the big sister have to ask?" The sun was a little big, I was a little uncomfortable, and I was going back. ”

Understanding more and more, Xia Jinse deliberately said: "Let me ask one more question at the end, second sister, have you ever heard of a poet named Yang Wanli?" ”

"I don't know." Xia Ruxue's expression relaxed.

"Do you know Bai Juyi? Li Bai, Du Fu, Li Qingzhao ......"

Xia Ruxue interrupted Xia Jinse's words and said coldly: "I'm sorry, big sister, I only know the great poet Du Shaobai of the previous dynasty, and I haven't heard anything of what you said." Farewell! ”

Looking at her back as she walked away quickly, Xia Jinse was finally sure.

Her second sister is not the same as her, she is not crossed. Since she didn't know about these famous poets, it proved that she read the poem "Yonghe" somewhere by chance.

It's getting more and more interesting......

Where did Xia Ruxue see this poem? Is there someone somewhere else who is like her, from a previous life?

This question can only be left for later investigation slowly.

Xia Jinse went back to the room, waited for Aunt Yao to roast the sparrows, and had a beautiful tooth sacrifice with a few girls. Aunt Yao also made some baked potatoes, roasted sweet potatoes, and a pot of sour plum soup, and everyone praised Aunt Yao's good skills.

After eating and drinking, Xia Jinse was not idle, and just went to Mozhuxuan.

Today, I heard the fifth prince Lan Muxuan say a lot of things about her brother Xia Junping, and she wanted to check it out more and more.

Leaving Chasing Cloud and Aunt Yao to guard the courtyard, Xia Jinse took the wood incense and the shooting moon, walked through the corridor of the Water Pavilion, and successfully found Mo Zhuxuan.

I thought the name was good, the place was elegant, and Xia Junping would be able to live well. Xia Jinse stood at the door of Mozhuxuan, feeling the rustle of bamboo leaves, and the cool breeze blowing, it was a little cold

It's the weather in May, it's still cold here, Xia Jun usually lives in such a place all year round, it's no wonder that his health is good.

"Mu Xiang, has my brother been living here for so many years?" Xia Jinse asked as he walked inside.

"Yes, the eldest young master has lived in Mozhuxuan for seven years."

Mu Xiang knew that Xia Jinse was not clear, and explained: "The young lady was sent to the old lady by the lady back then, and the eldest young master had an accident the next year, and later the step-wife said that the environment of Mozhuxuan was quiet and suitable for the eldest young master to recuperate. The eldest young master seemed to like it too, so he moved over, and later the master asked him to move to Runqing Pavilion, but the eldest young master refused. ”

Runqing Pavilion is also a courtyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it is much more lively than here, close to the Rongxi Hall of Xia Yanxiu, and people come and go.

Standing in Mozhuxuan, Xia Jinse first looked at the courtyard, there were falling bamboo leaves everywhere, there was a pile in the corner of the wall that no one had cleaned up, and the orchids in the flower garden were also going to die.

Walking up the steps, touching the stone pillars on the corridor, a layer of ash on his fingertips, Xia Jinse shook his head, and understood something more and more.

Hearing the voice, a girl finally ran out, and when she saw Xia Jinse, she hurriedly saluted.

Xia Jinse asked, "What about the eldest young master?" ”

The girl said cautiously: "Miss, the eldest young master is reading......"

Without waiting for her to finish, Xia Jinse walked in directly, and sure enough, in the small inner room, a man in Tsing Yi was facing the door, sitting in a wheelchair, leaning against the window and reading.

Even though he was only twenty years old, he described it as withered, his cheeks were thin and bloodless, and his wrist holding a book was even more skinny, and he coughed from time to time. He read it carefully, but his hand trembling as he turned the book, and he was terminally ill.

"Brother?" Xia Jinse walked over gently.

With a click, the young man was frightened, and the book fell to the ground, but he quickly turned his head, and when he saw that it was Xia Jinse, a ball of light erupted in his eyes: "Sister! ”

But when he saw the scar on Xia Jinse's face, his face changed: "What's wrong with your face?" ”

Although Xia Jinse has been back for so long, he has never had a chance to come to Mozhuxuan, and judging by Xia Junping's reaction, no one else should have told him that she was almost killed.

Xia Jinse looked out of the way, and patted his face lightly: "It's okay, it's a little bruised, just a little mark." I thought about coming back for a long time and didn't come to see my brother, so I came over today when I was free. ”

Staring at Xia Jinse's face for a long time, Xia Junping's eyes flickered, his lips trembled a little, and his hands trembled, as if he was caught in a memory. His appearance is somewhat similar to Xia Jinse, delicate and handsome, but he is too thin, and his cheekbones are protruding.

It took a long time for Xia Junping to calm down, and he tried to bend down to pick up the book on the ground, and Mu Xiang hurriedly handed it to him.

The moment Xia Junping raised his head, he regained his indifference: "I'm fine, sister don't worry, since you are going to get married, you should stay in the room with peace of mind and not come to me." ”
