Chapter 4 Identification into Beijing
Qiu Yu saw Xi Yan get up, so she walked quickly to Xi Yan's side, and just as she was about to stretch out her hand, she saw Xi Yan holding it up by herself, and was stunned in place with her hands raised.
Xi Yu Yuguang saw Xi Yan stand up again, turned his head to look at Xi Yan, casually put the chopsticks on the bowl, put his hand on his lap, and held the steamed bun with a few bites in his other hand, and turned his body slightly.
Xi Yu raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Yu, who was stunned behind Xi Yan, pursed his lips and took a deep breath, looking at Xi Yan: "Eldest sister! Such a trivial matter as serving rice can let the autumn rain come, and you don't need to get up to serve it yourself!"
Xi Yan looked down at the bowl, reached out and picked up the spoon in the bowl, gently stirred the white porridge in the bowl, and then scooped a spoonful of white porridge, with a pickle lying on it, raised her hand and put it in her mouth, seeing Xi Yu talking, she turned her head to look over, kept chewing in her mouth, winked at Xi Yu gently, and nodded.
Xi Yu pursed her lips and smiled, nodded to Xi Yan, turned around and raised her hand to pick up the chopsticks, and continued to eat.
Half a moment later, Xi Yan held the empty bowl in both hands, clanged, put it on the table, raised her hand and wiped her mouth back and forth.
Xi Yu, who had rinsed his mouth, was wiping his mouth with a handkerchief, Xi Yan put down the bowl, turned his head to look over, and saw Xi Yan raise his hand to wipe his mouth with his hand, and hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xi Yan's arm: "Eldest sister!" ”
"Huh?" Xi Yan turned her head to look at Xi Yu, then looked down at the arm that was grabbed, her brows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, and she raised her eyes and tilted her head to look at Xi Yu: "What are you doing?" ”
"Rinse your mouth!" Xi Yu let go of Xi Yan's arm, put the handkerchief on the table, got up and walked behind Xi Yan, and took the teacup standing behind Xi Yan and in Qiu Yu's hand.
Turning around and smiling at Xi Yan, he bent forward slightly, holding the teacup in both hands, and raised it in front of Xi Yan.
"Huh! Don't say it sooner! Xi Yan turned her head to look at Xi Yu, until Xi Yu raised the teacup in front of Xi Yan, Xi Yan glanced down at the teacup, gave Xi Yu a blank look, reached out to take the teacup, opened the lid and drank two sips.
Xi Yan puffed out two cheeks, raised her head and rinsed her mouth, Yu Guang saw Qiu Yu bring a small basin, lowered her head and opened her mouth to spit mouthwash into the basin, and then handed the teacup to Xi Yu.
Xi Yan turned around and habitually raised her sleeves, just raised them to her mouth, hurriedly stopped, tilted her head and looked at Xi Yu with a smile, and saw that Xi Yu didn't know where to take out the handkerchief, bent over with a smile, held the handkerchief in both hands, and held it in front of Xi Yan.
Xi Yan smiled at Xi Yu, raised her hand to take the handkerchief, gently wiped the water stains on her mouth, glanced at Xi Yu with slanted eyes, saw Xi Yu stood up straight, and wanted to put back the handkerchief in Xi Yu's hand, but also put it empty.
Xi Yan immediately turned to face Xi Yu, glared at Xi Yu, bent down and stretched out her hand, grabbed Xi Yu's arm at her side, pulled Xi Yu's hand over, flipped it, raised the hand holding the handkerchief, slapped the handkerchief hard in Xi Yu's hand, and got up and stood up.
Xi Yu glanced down at the handkerchief in his hand, pursed his lips, sighed, shook his head gently, and then put the handkerchief on the table, and raised his foot to follow Xi Yan.
Qiu Yu was cleaning up the table, and seeing Xi Yan and Xi Yu both walking towards the door, they glanced up, and continued to lower their heads and clean up the table.
Xi Yan walked out of the door barefoot with a skirt in one hand, stopped in front of the porch bench, looked at the flower trees with buds emerging downstairs, and a gurgling and flowing lake, with a rockery, and slowly stopped.
"Eldest sister, do you want to go down and take a walk?" Xi Yu put his hands behind his back, walked to Xi Yan's side and stopped, looked at the garden downstairs, and turned his head to look at Xi Yan as he spoke.
"Good! You go get me shoes!" Xi Yan turned her head to look at Xi Yu and said with a smile.
Xi Yu smiled at Xi Yan, turned to look at the room: "Qiu Yu, bring Miss's embroidered shoes!" ”
Qiu Yu was just about to lift the food box, when he heard the sound, he turned to look at Xi Yu, gave Xi Yu a salute, turned around and walked to the bedside, picked up Xi Yan's embroidered shoes, and walked quickly to the door of the house.
Xi Yan also turned around and looked at the room with Xi Yu, saw Qiu Yu turn around and get the shoes, and then sat on the porch bench and lifted two bare feet.
Qiu Yu came to Xi Yan with shoes, squatted down, first put on brocade socks for Xi Yan, then put shoes on Xi Yan, took two steps back, saluted Xi Yan and Xi Yu, turned around and walked back to the house.
Xi Yan raised her feet and looked at her shoes, got up and glanced at Xi Yu, turned around and walked towards the staircase. Xi Yu smiled at Xi Yan and followed behind Xi Yan.
Xi Yan went down the stairs and walked onto the bluestone road in the garden, looked at the flower ponds on both sides, there were many small grasses, raised her eyes and glanced at Xi Yu, who was following her side, without saying anything, and continued to walk along the bluestone road.
After a while, a pavilion appeared on the side of the bluestone road, and Xi Yan raised her feet and walked towards the pavilion.
Xi Yan walked into the pavilion, holding the stone table in her hand, and just about to sit down, she saw that the stone table was covered with a layer of fine dust, so she hurriedly picked up her hand, then rubbed her hands, and turned to look at Xi Yu who walked in.
"Xi Yu, huh?"
Xi Yu walked to the other side of Xi Yan, saw Xi Yan ask herself, looked at Xi Yan nodded lightly, raised her hand to hold the table and was about to sit down.
"Don't sit, there's ash!" Xi Yan raised her hand and pointed at Xi Yu.
Xi Yu hurriedly glanced up at Xi Yan, turned his head to look at the stone bench behind him, saw that there was really some dust, and looked back at Xi Yan: "The eldest sister is waiting here, I'll call Qiu Yu to clean up!" ”
"Hey! Wait a minute! ”
"What's wrong, eldest sister? Anything else? Xi Yu, who had just taken two steps, turned his head and looked at Xi Yan.
"No, your yard is so big, is there just a maid in the autumn rain?"
"No, I let the other maids and minions go! As for Qiu Yu and Mama He, as well as Mama Yang in the kitchen, the three of them stayed in the house. ”
"Your family is bankrupt?"
"No, I plan to go to Beijing with you to join my grandfather and mother's house. So they were all scattered. ”
"Your family is not bankrupt, why should you go to others?"
"I didn't go bankrupt, but my parents died, and I couldn't manage so much business, and I couldn't manage it, and my parents never taught me! If we don't go to our grandparents, we may not even be able to keep our family property! ”
"Huh! All right! When do you plan to enter Beijing? Xi Yan glanced at Xi Yu, lowered her head and blew the dust on the stone bench after speaking, and sat down.
"I was going to enter Beijing today, who knows! Who knew that the eldest sister didn't want to send people under the fence, so she broke through the autumn rain and jumped into the lake! As Xi Yu spoke, he raised his eyes and peeked at Xi Yan, turned his back to Xi Yan, and sat on the stone bench at once.
"Huh!" Xi Yan looked at Xi Yu's back and grinned embarrassedly twice.
"When my parents had an accident, I had already sent a letter to Beijing, telling my grandparents that someone would take over all our family's business!"
"Oh!"
"Eldest sister, would you like to go to Beijing with me now?" Xi Yu still turned his back to Xi Yan and lowered his head.
"Yes! Everything is up to you, hehe! Xi Yan hurriedly replied with a smile, looking at the clothes worn by Xi Yu, as well as the clothes of Qiu Yu and Mama He, she remembered that they were wearing filial piety.
"Oops! Miss, the old slave of the bun bought it for you! Just when Xi Yan and Xi Yu were not speaking, Mama He's voice came from not far away.
Xi Yan turned her head to look over, and Xi Yu also raised her head.
"Miss, it's still hot for you!" Mama He quickly ran to the pavilion and saluted Xi Yu, seeing Xi Yu nodded, walked around Xi Yu, walked in front of Xi Yan, and stretched out her two hands holding the bun.
Xi Yan looked at the paper bag in Mama He's hand, looked up and smiled at Mama He: "Thank you!" Mama Ho! ”
"Oops! Miss is polite, the old slave can't afford it! Xi Yan took the bun wrapped in paper from Mama He's hand. Mama He hurriedly bowed her head and saluted Xi Yan.
"The young master and the young lady are talking, and the old slave is going to work!" Mama He straightened up with a smile, glanced at Xi Yu, and then at Xi Yan, saluted the two of them, and turned around and walked out of the pavilion as she spoke.
Xi Yu and Xi Yan watched Mama He walk onto the bluestone road, turned a corner and couldn't see, and Xi Yu turned to look at Xi Yan.
"Eldest sister, haven't you eaten enough just now?"
"I'm full, but I'm hungry now?" Xi Yan was opening the paper wrapped in the bun, and when she heard Xi Yu's words, she glanced up at Xi Yu, lowered her head and continued to open the paper, saw that there were two buns inside, took out one bun, wrapped the other bun in paper again, and put it on the stone table.
Xi Yan looked up at Xi Yu, raised her hand to bite the bun, chewed the bun and said, "When are you going to enter Beijing now?" ”
"I don't know, what do you think, eldest sister?" Xi Yu shook his head gently.
"Ahh I don't even know when you want to go! ”
"What about three days from now?"
"Okay!" Xi Yan looked down at the bun in her hand, nodded vigorously, then raised her head, looked at Xi Yu and continued: "Qiu Yu and Mama He are going with us?" ”
"No, Mama He won't go, she is waiting in the house, and the grandparents are coming."
"Oh! Then you might as well wait for your grandparents to come and go back with them! ”
"No way!" Xi Yu looked down at the soles of his feet, shook his head gently, and looked up at Xi Yan: "It will take three or four months to send the letter to Beijing from here, and when we wait for that time, my uncle and uncle will take away all our family property." ”
"Huh? Then your grandfather and mother didn't arrange for anyone to come, so let's leave, wouldn't it be better for them to get your family's property? ”
"No, they don't dare, they know that I went to my grandparents, and they will wait. If we were at home all the time, they would dare to take care of our business for us. ”
"Oh, then let's go to Beijing early! Don't wait three days. ”
"Huh! It's okay, don't be in such a hurry! ”
"Oops! How can we not be in a hurry, what if they find someone to kill us, hurry up, go, pack up and go! Xi Yan listened to Xi Yu's words, quickly stood up, put the bun in her hand in her mouth after speaking, picked up the bun on the stone table with one hand, walked in front of Xi Yu, stretched out her hand to pull up Xi Yu, and walked out of the pavilion quickly.
