The winter snow has arrived, and the students in the White Horse Academy have also gone home for the holidays, only a few students and gentlemen who do not plan to go home are still in the academy.

Ah Yu still lives in the small bamboo building, simply in the first snow season, the weather is not the coldest time, although the small bamboo building is not as good as other courtyards, its overall layout is placed there, there is no way to install the ondol, but now at this time, put a brazier in the house, the temperature will go up.

What's more, she only rested in the small bamboo building for the night, and she was going back to Kyoto the next day.

When she left the small bamboo building, there was still an ice basin in the house, and the bed was covered with a silk quilt unique to summer.

When I came back, the ice basin was replaced by a brazier, and the silk quilt that was cool was also replaced by a brocade quilt stuffed with cotton, and the people who stayed in the small bamboo building were very dedicated, and the master bedroom was uninhabited for a long time, and it was still clean.

Although Mrs. Wen returned to Kyoto, the housekeeper in the courtyard couldn't go anywhere else.

The housekeeper is the housekeeper in the other courtyard, and he only rotates around in such a small open space in the other courtyard on weekdays, and before the old lady Wen returned to Kyoto, he would occasionally ask the housekeeper to send someone to Kyoto to inquire about the news.

Although the things that the housekeeper knows now may not be able to catch up, it is better than nothing.

The elders called the butler to inquire about the matter.

Ah Yu looked at the many letters in front of him, and then looked at the payment above the envelope, and couldn't help frowning.

The name of the inscription is Xie Huai'an.

She left Kyoto, and she may not have attracted attention at first, but she has not appeared in front of everyone for a long time, which naturally leads to some speculation.

And Xie Huai'an only knew that she went out, but he didn't know her specific whereabouts, he wrote many letters to Ah Yu, and they were all sent to the Wen Mansion, probably thinking that the next person had received the letter and would hand it over to Mrs. Wen, and then Mrs. Wen would naturally transfer the letter to Ah Yu.

It's just that he didn't expect that those letters didn't reach Old Lady Wen at all, but were directly sent to the small bamboo building in the courtyard.

Qingrui walked in from the outside with a tray, she put the mahogany tray on the square table, picked up the bowl of ginger soup in the tray, walked to Ah Yu's side, and said slowly, "Girl, the ginger soup has been boiled." ”

Doctor Yang had already returned to Kyoto when Mrs. Wen was about to give birth.

Now staying in the other hospital is the Wenfu doctor, after he checked Ah Yu's pulse, he said that Ah Yu's body is well recuperated, even if there is a little wind blowing on the road, it is not tight.

In order to reassure Wen Huan, Ah Yu specially asked people to boil a bowl of ginger soup.

She looked at the bowl of ginger soup that Qingrui served, and inexplicably remembered the ginger soup she drank at the villager's house, when the ginger soup she drank was a bowl of water boiled from two or three pieces of ginger, where it was as rich in ingredients as now, although she didn't feel very happy about it.

The spicy taste spread between his lips and tongue, and Ah Yu couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Isn't ginger soup, as the name suggests, supposed to be a soup made of ginger slices?" Qingrui will ask the kitchen not to put other seasonings in the ginger soup next time, it is too unpleasant. ”

The lesser of the two powers.

Compared with the current bowl of ginger soup, although the ginger soup without adding other condiments is also difficult to drink, the unpleasantness is still more bearable.

"The ginger soup in the kitchen uses a unique secret recipe, which is the most effective for preventing wind and cold," Qingrui said to Ah Yu with a smile, "If the girl doesn't like the taste, then please pay more attention to her body in the future, if you don't get wet or windy, you don't need to drink ginger soup." She couldn't sit in the same carriage with Ah Yu on the road, and she didn't expect that Ah Yu would take the initiative to lift the curtain to blow the cool breeze, she knew that such a thing would happen, and she said that everything would depend on Ah Yu's car.

This time, the girl was lucky, even if the cold wind blew, she was still disease-free.

But if you're unlucky, it's going to be the same as last year!

Another serious illness that lasts for several months, how can it be good!

Aoba also whispered on the side, "If the girl doesn't move the curtain, she won't need to drink ginger ......soup now."

Ah Yu's sincere concern for these is always impossible to directly ignore the past, but she doesn't feel that there is anything wrong with her move to lift the curtain to ventilate, even the house doctor said that it doesn't matter, but whether it is a brother or the person who takes care of her on weekdays, it seems that she thinks she has done something wrong from the bottom of her heart.

When he was with his brother, Ah Yu didn't argue about it.

Now that the subject has changed to Qingrui and Aoba, she doesn't plan to say anything else.

Ah Yu picked up the envelope in her hand, and when she saw the letters sent by Xie Huai'an, it was almost time for her to go to sleep. According to her original idea, she wanted to wait until tomorrow on the way back to Kyoto, but in order to change the subject, she decided to read all the letters tonight.

But before she could do that, she had to say something more.

"I've finished drinking the ginger soup, Qingrui will send this bowl back to the kitchen first!" Turning her head, she looked at the other person again, and said, "Aoba, go and help me pick the light brighter, I'll see what he wrote in the letter......"

There are only three people around Ah Yu who can use it now, except for Chang Mama, which are Qingye and Qingrui.

It's just that the three of them have to stay by Ah Yu's side all the time, and there is no way to send them out to do something.

It is only at this time that Ah Yu will rise to the idea of cultivating his henchmen.

Most of what Xie Huai'an wrote in the letter were some interesting things that Mao Mao had done, and there were one or two things that could really make Ah Yu raise his heart.

Sister Fang, who lives in the same courtyard with her, has officially returned home to get married, so there is an extra room in their courtyard.

In addition, her second sister and third sister also transferred from clan studies to White Horse Academy in the second half of the year, and even took the cousin girl from the family to White Horse Academy together.

In Wen Ru's memory, Xi Rou's father said that he would be transferred back to Kyoto before the year. But in fact, Xi Rou lived in the Wen Mansion until Wen Rugu got married, and her father was not able to return to Kyoto. How many of them are by mistake, and how many are deliberate, no one can say.

These are all things that Ah Yu had already expected, and he was not surprised to see a few words in Xie Huai'an's letter.

When Ah Yu unfolded Xie Huai'an's next letter, he found that some accidents were really unguardable.

The letter said that the two sisters of the Xia family seemed to suddenly turn against each other for some reason.

Xie Huai'an was not interested in the affairs of the women's school, let alone took the initiative to inquire about anything, and the reason why he wrote about it in the letter was a coincidence.

He took Maomao to study in the academy together, and three meals a day were used in the cafeteria.

As usual, Xie Huai'an took Mao Mao to the cafeteria of the academy that day, because Mao Mao insisted on not going upstairs, so they ate in the lobby that day, and the seat he chose was very remote, just at the corner of the stairs, the people on the stairs couldn't notice them, but they could hear what the people on the stairs said clearly.

"Sister, you are with Xi Rou every day in and out, and you don't even look at me, are you really unwilling to reconcile with me?"

The girl who spoke first seemed to be on the verge of crying.

Her sister was indifferent to this: "Isn't it because you said that kind of excessive thing first?" ”

"It's that you don't plan to recognize me as a sister anymore, I'm just doing what you want, and now you're running in front of me to say this kind of thing, unless you apologize to me first, I'm really not willing to reconcile with you again, and it's good to be strangers to each other all the time."

The sister took several steps backwards in disbelief, and the sound of footsteps on the stairs showed that its owner was flustered.

"It's obvious that my sister did something wrong, so I will stop you, how can you reverse black and white so much!"

Her voice was a little harsh, obviously unable to believe that her sister could say such a thing.

"Although Ah Yu did not go to the academy to study after the start of the school year, we did not already know from my husband that she was absent because of her poor health, and she will return to the White Horse Academy next spring. Even the things in her room were not removed. ”

"Ah Yu doesn't have the habit of locking the door on weekdays, and she really hasn't come to the academy now, but that doesn't mean that you can take Xi Rou to Ah Yu's room and rummage through her things......"

Slap suddenly remembered that he interrupted what the sister wanted to continue.

Immediately afterwards, my sister said in a slightly fierce tone, "I didn't expect you to be such a person, I'm just a new friend, and you want to slander our reputation like this, and I don't know what your intentions are!" ”

"In short, I will never forgive you again in my life, let alone reconcile with you, so I will never get along with each other forever!"

The two of them didn't talk very loudly, there were still people playing allegro in the lobby, and not many people noticed the two sisters on the stairs. It's just that Xie Huai'an's choice of position was too coincidental, so he heard the quarrel between the two from beginning to end.

At the beginning, Xie Huai'an was still silently chanting in his heart the words of indecent and don't listen, but before he could say a few words, he heard the person above mention Ah Yu's name.

There are indeed a lot of people in the women's school, but there should be few people with the same name as Ah Yu.

Whether it was or not, Xie Huai'an didn't spread what he heard, but then paid a little attention to who the sisters on the other side of the girls' school were opposed, wanting to confirm whether the two sisters on the stairs were really familiar with Ah Yu.

After all, he has been with the child for so long now, and his mood is becoming more and more peaceful, and he will not go out to cause trouble again.

If it was found out that those two people really had nothing to do with Ah Yu, then he would have forgotten everything he had heard, and if it was the opposite, then he would have to talk to Ah Yu properly.

Compared with the two strangers, of course, he thinks Ah Shen is more important, anyway, after he listened to what the sister said, he was very disgusted with her sister, as for what the sister said later, he didn't want to evaluate who was true and who was false, or tell Ah Shen first, and wait for Ah Yu to come back, judge for yourself!

When Ah Yu saw the Xia family sisters turning against each other, he felt a sigh in his heart, and then when he saw the things written by Xie Huai'an behind him, he didn't know what to say for a while.

When Qingrui returned, he saw Aoba standing beside the pillar, his head little by little, as if he was dozing. And the girl sat on the bed with her coat draped, covering her heart with one hand, and clutching the letter with the other, her face turned pale, and she looked very unhappy.

Before Qingrui stepped forward to say hello, Ah Yu dropped the letter, covered her lips with her hand, and retched silently.

Qingrui was so frightened that she couldn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly rushed forward and asked, "What did Young Master Xie write in the letter that made the girl angry like this?" ”

She has taken care of Ah Shen for many years, and she has studied Ah Yu's emotional changes very thoroughly.

Aoba was also awakened at this time.

She wanted to get in front of Ah Yu for a while, but she was worried that she would make Ah Shen even more uncomfortable if she made it too much.

Seeing that Ah Shen was still retching, he quickly ran to the side, poured a glass of warm water, and sent it to Ah Yu.

The feeling of retching was really uncomfortable, but Ah Su couldn't control herself, she felt very disgusting.

Although the situation is not yet clear, according to Ah Yu's familiarity with Xi Rou, as long as there are people who are involved with her, there will be few good people.

At least for Ah Yu, those are not good people.

And among the two sisters of the Xia family, Xia Yiwen, who is a younger sister, has always followed behind her sister, as long as her sister speaks, she will obey directly, during the time that Ah Yu got along with them, she had never seen Xia Yiwen say half a bad word about her sister, she was quiet by nature, she likes to read and paint, although her performance is not very obvious on weekdays, but her sense of responsibility is heavier, and she is also very concerned about the people around her.

On the contrary, Xia Yiyun will often complain that her sister has no opinions, and always nods yes to what she says, but she always can't understand what she is saying.

If you really want to choose one of these two people to trust, then Ah Yu will only choose Xia Yiwen, not Xia Yiyun.

"Qingrui, you help me ask Brother ......" Ah Yu took a sip of warm water, and then looked up and subconsciously wanted to find Wen Huan.

She was only halfway through her words when she suddenly remembered that her brother had just returned to Kyoto, just like her, so how would he know what was happening in the White Horse Academy!

If she hadn't opened the letter sent by Xie Huai'an in advance, she would have known nothing about the things in the academy.

Qingrui held Ah Yu's shoulder, didn't wait for the follow-up for a long time, and subconsciously asked, "What does the girl want to ask?" ”

No matter what you ask, it will be fruitless in the end.

Ah Yu waved her hand, looking at the two more unopened letters, she suddenly lost the idea of continuing to look down. Just what she saw now, the thought of people running into her room to rummage through things during the days when she was not in the academy was enough to make her unable to sleep.
