After talking about the old days, but Yue'er found that Aunt Fu had been taking her out of the courtyard, as if she was afraid that she would enter Ze'er's house, so she asked inadvertently, "Why did Aunt Fu come to this outer courtyard?" ”

"The eldest lady doesn't know that the old mansion relies on some ancestral property to live, and now she can't afford to use people. Ze'er's affairs have to be taken care of by the concubine herself, and she must come over twice a day. ”

"Auntie has suffered, I can't imagine that life here is so difficult, and now Yue'er is back to cause trouble."

"I'm finally back, what is the trouble or not, if the eldest lady has no other plans, don't leave in the future."

All the way to the inner courtyard, Aunt Fu told Yue'er about her suffering over the years, and Yue'er listened to it without saying much about her situation and experience.

It wasn't until Third Master Shen came back that Yue'er was invited to the outer courtyard again, and then she left Aunt Fu's house.

The third grandfather Shen is Shen Xiangye's cousin, and now he is the head of the family in this old mansion. As soon as he came back, the men from the entire Shen family's old mansion came over.

I sighed with emotion, it was all my own family, and when I mentioned Shen Chen, it became more. This aroused Yue'er's sadness, and also made Shen Sanye cry.

Yue'er saw that Ze'er was also crying, but at the same time, she also found that this child seemed to be very timid now, always dodging his eyes, and wanted to hide himself.

and always secretly looked at Yue'er when no one found out, and he quickly avoided it when the two siblings looked at each other.

At lunchtime, they were in this outer courtyard, and the women and children in the inner house were also instructed by the third master Shen to give them a feast in the room separated by the outer courtyard.

After using the meal, Yue'er was taken to the back house by the old lady, that is, Shen San's grandmother, and lived next to her yard.

There was no girl beside Yue'er, so the old lady arranged for her fourteen-year-old granddaughter Shen Yuejing to come over. said that she was going to serve her as a girl, how dare Yue'er treat her like this, after all, this is her cousin.

He took Qing'er's hand and said softly: "Our sisters are companions, where can we be like what grandmother said, what kind of girl." ”

Qing'er had a soft temperament and spoke softly, so she lowered her head with a red face and said, "What my grandmother said, Qing'er didn't dare to refute it, and besides, she also wanted to serve her cousin in her heart." Since I was a child, I listened to my grandmother, and my cousin was most valued by my cousin, also because she was smart and had a good temperament. ”

Yue'er thought that these words were definitely not spoken by this cowardly little girl, it must be that the old lady often talked about herself, so that no one here would forget her.

This made her quite relieved, and she finally returned to the old mansion and still had a sense of belonging. Just thinking of Ze'er made her feel uneasy, and she always felt that this kid had something to say, but she didn't dare to speak casually.

I was tired enough along the way, so I washed up and fell asleep after I settled Yue'er. When I woke up at night, I saw Qing'er sleeping on her foot, how could this make it, and hurriedly got up and dragged people to the couch while they were in a daze.

After this toss, Qing'er woke up and took the tea that had been warm on the small table next to the couch to serve Yue'er to drink.

After drinking warm tea, seeing that Qing'er didn't feel sleepy, Yue'er asked her about Ze'er's affairs here.

Qing'er and Ze'er have known each other for two years, and when she heard Yue'er ask her, she said: "Actually, Qing'er and Ze'er are not familiar with each other, he lives in the outer courtyard on weekdays, and it was my grandmother who asked me to help him clean up the house, and also wash the clothes." But Aunt Fu was not allowed, saying that she didn't want to cause trouble to the old mansion, and she took care of these things.

It's rare to see Ze'er in the house, even if he meets it during the New Year's holidays, he just nods or salutes, I don't know what kind of voice he speaks. ”

Yue'er felt strange, although her favor was not as good as Yue'er in the Prime Minister's Mansion back then, but Ze'er was the eldest son after all, and she was also valued by Shen Xiangye.

Since the age of five, he has been enlightened by Shen Xiangye himself, and since then, he has also gone to study in the study with Yue'er every day.

At that time, the relationship between the sister and brother was excellent, but it didn't take long for Shen Xiangye to have an accident, and the family broke up.

Thinking of this, Yue'er asked again: "Have you heard that the relationship between Ze'er and Aunt Fu's mother and son is still harmonious?" ”

"I heard my little aunt tell my mother, and my little uncle said that Ze'er and Aunt Fu don't talk. Therefore, the little uncle also reprimanded him, although he did not refute it, but he still did not speak to Aunt Fu afterwards. In addition to the little uncle in this house, he is also close to Xin'er. ”

"Oh, why did I forget Xin'er, but I didn't see her today?"

Xin'er is the youngest daughter of Aunt Fu, she was still young when there was an accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and now I don't think I remember Yue'er for a long time.

When Qing'er heard this, she said: "Xin'er has been sick recently, and Aunt Fu said that she can't see people, and she wants to give it to others after her illness." That's how long I've been sick for seven or eight days. ”

"I was negligent, and I forgot about her in this busy work. I'm going to go see it tomorrow morning, I wonder if she's better? ”

Qing'er shook her head: "Xin'er and Ze'er have little contact with us, Aunt Fu said that she was afraid of life, but she has been back for two years, and it is said that if she hadn't avoided it so much, she would have gotten acquainted with each other a long time ago." This time I was sick because I took advantage of Aunt Fu's inattention that day, and went to the outer courtyard to find Ze'er. When he came back, he said that he was sick that night, and he didn't see her again for seven or eight days. ”

Yue'er inquired about this side again, and the two sisters went to sleep.

Early the next morning, Yue'er went to visit Xin'er first, and Aunt Fu hurriedly greeted her, stopped Yue'er, who had already entered the house, outside, and said apologetically: "Xin'er has a rash, and she can use some decoction to clear the fire at this time, and I don't know how many days it will be better." The eldest lady must not come close, in case she is sick, how can she afford it. ”

"It doesn't matter, I've always been in good health, just go and see Xin'er and come out, it's okay."

"Don't, don't, Xin'er will be fine another day, and the concubine will let her go to the eldest lady to say goodbye. She can't be seen at this time, and besides, she is weak at this time, and she can't take the slightest risk. ”

After saying this, Yue'er couldn't force herself in, so she inquired a few more words about Xin'er's illness with Aunt Fu, and followed Qing'er to ask Shen San's grandmother and the elders to say goodbye.

When Yue'er arrived, Ze'er was also there, but it was Shen San's grandmother who knew that she was coming, so she deliberately left Ze'er and didn't let her go.

After saluting and saluting tea, Yue'er was beckoned by Shen San's grandmother and called over: "Your sister and brother will eat in my house, but don't dislike me as an old woman." ”

Yue'er sat next to Shen's third grandmother, and said with a smile: "Yue'er is used to being a liar, I'm afraid that the third grandmother will regret it." ”

Laughing here, Ze'er hung his head on the side and didn't say a word. After a while, Aunt Fu also came to ask for peace, and when she came in and saw Ze'er here, she smiled and said: "Why is Ze'er becoming more and more ignorant, please don't make trouble here anymore, go back to the outer courtyard quickly." ”
