Seeing that Mr. Tao was about to leave, Xiuwan stopped in a hurry: "Sir, I read a passage yesterday and don't understand it very well, can you tell me about it?" ”

"Miss Xiuwan, please speak." Mr. Tao stopped and asked with a sideways smile.

Xiuwan is just to bring Mr. Tao down, who knows that Mr. Tao will ask like this, but now he can't remember anything for the time being, but he still remembers one or two lines of poetry that he has heard many people read, thinking about it, Xiuwan said: "What is the night tonight?" Boat in the middle of the stream.

What is the day today? Gotta be in the same boat as the prince.

Shame is good, not shameful.

The heart is a few annoyed and endless, knowing the prince.

The mountains have trees and branches,

I don't know. ”

When Mr. Tao heard this, he already had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "This is the first Qin ancient song, which is recorded in detail in Liu Xiang's "Shuo Yuan", but Miss Xiuwan suddenly felt depressed for this, and thought about it, Miss Xiuwan has someone to admire. ”

In fact, Xiuwan read the sentence "The mountains have trees and branches, and the heart is happy and you don't know", she already knew that something was wrong, so her cheeks slowly turned red, and Mr. Tao said this, she felt that her careful thinking was seen through by Mr. Tao, she looked around in a little panic, and ran out quickly.

Mr. Tao shook his head helplessly, packed up his books, and went to his house.

These small actions were all seen by Mrs. Ye, and Tong Shuang smiled: "If Xiuwan knows that it was the old lady who matched her behind her back, she might not know how to thank her." ”

"Alas, this child has suffered a lot with me, and now doing something for her can be regarded as compensating her." Old Madam Ye squinted at Xiuwan as he wrote with Mr. Tao's strokes, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise slightly. Tong Shuang persuaded: "In this case, why don't the old lady just make it clear and fulfill them as soon as possible." ”

"No," Old Madam Ye shook her head and said, "Let's not bother with this matter, let's watch Xiuwan's own." ”

Tong Shuang said yes with a smile, and sighed again: "I also know that Miss Xiuwan fell ill in Lufu, which is really a pity." ”

Old Madam Ye said "um" casually, and then she said, "If Rui Xi is still there, I should also find a mother-in-law for her." ”

As soon as she heard the word "Ruixi", Tong Shuang was startled, but she quickly reacted and sighed with the old lady.

At this time, Old Madam Ye looked up at Tong Shuang and asked, "Now, you can tell me who did Rui Xi's death, right?" ”

Tong Shuang was surprised, and saw that Old Madam Ye didn't seem to be joking, so she sighed faintly, and then knelt down and said: "If the old lady wants to punish me now, Shuang'er is willing to be punished, but this matter has nothing to do with Lu'an." ”

"Do you admit you know?" Old Madam Ye asked in a low voice, "I still remember that you once gambled in front of me, and I was taken aback by you at that time. ”

Tong Shuang lowered his head and said: "In order to protect yourself, why is it difficult to make a gambling spell?" ”

Old Madam Ye asked her to get up and waved away the servants who were waiting on the side, she didn't look at Tong Shuang, but said slowly: "After so many years, all I want is a truth, so that Rui Xi can be blinded." ”

Tong Shuang said, including her wooing Lizhu, forming an alliance with Shen Yun, and helping Shen Yun poison Cao Liangse...... After she finished speaking, she sat down on the ground, and these things were also her demons when she dreamed back at midnight.

"I knew how Shen Yun could deceive my eyes with his own strength." Old Madam Ye smiled reluctantly, and sighed again: "It's just that why Lizhu killed her?" Rui Xi's child was partial and protective everywhere, but he ended up with this. ”

Tong Shuang didn't know what to say, so she had to say: "It's just a poor person." ”

Old Madam Ye nodded, asked Tong Shuang to retreat, and she said, "I want to stay alone for a while." ”

Tong Shuang went out and told the maid outside the door to pay attention, so she left with a tangled heart. She thought that Old Madam Ye was going to punish her, but now, patting her chest, she couldn't see Old Madam Ye more and more clearly.

Seeing that the weather was getting colder day by day, Mr. Tao was still wearing a jacket to teach Ye Shoujue, when the window was open, and as soon as the cold wind poured in, Mr. Tao coughed fiercely a few times.

Xiuwan saw it, quietly closed the window, and ordered her subordinates to prepare sweet soup, and lit a few more candles herself.

Mr. Tao glanced at Xiuwan gratefully, and also asked Ye Shoujue to rest for a while, and he and Xiuwan chatted on the side.

At this time, the servant brought sweet soup, Xiuwan first served a bowl to Ye Shoujue, Ye Shoujue took it, but walked up to Mr. Tao with it, bowed and said, "Please drink." ”

Mr. Tao was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "If I don't take it, it seems that I don't know how to be polite." Xiuwan hurriedly filled another bowl and said with a smile: "Little master, there is still one here." ”

Ye Shoujue smiled and picked up the bowl to the side, Xiuwan was still sitting on the side of the desk, raised her head to look at Mr. Tao, Mr. Tao was a little uncomfortable with her, so she had to put the bowl down and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Miss Xiuwan?" ”

"I want to ask," Xiuwan squirmed for a long time, but she couldn't open her mouth, and Mr. Tao couldn't figure it out, so he just waited patiently for her to finish. Who knew that Xiuwan couldn't ask anymore, so she pursed her lips in a hurry, and still went to Ye Shoujue's side.

When the class ended in the afternoon, Xiuwan still hid in the back room and refused to come out, so Mr. Tao bowed inside and went out with Ye Shoujue.

"Sir," Ye Shoujue raised his head and asked, "Why don't you get married?" ”

Mr. Tao tightened his collar, touched Ye Shoujue's head, and said with a smile: "At a young age, why are you asking this?" ”

Ye Shoujue sighed, and said with a youthful and old look: "I don't want to ask, it's just that it's too hard to watch Sister Xiuwan like this." My mother and they all said, Sister Xiuwan loves you, Mr. ”

Mr. Tao waved his hand and smiled: "I, Tao Moujie, was born in a reckless manner, what is there to admire, don't laugh, little master." ”

Ye Shoujue wanted to say something, but Tong Shuang had already come to pick him up, he laughed and ran over to his mother's arms, Tong Shuang came over to thank Mr. Tao, looked at the back again, and asked with a smile: "Why don't you see Miss Xiuwan?" ”

Mr. Tao didn't know, but shook his head with a smile, Tong Shuang pulled Ye Shoujue, and whispered: "Although Mr. is a preacher and a professional solution, sometimes he can't help but think about his own affairs. ”

Mr. Tao bowed, sent Tong Shuang away, and took another look at the study, only vaguely saw a pale green figure, he seemed to remember that he said: "Miss Xiuwan is very suitable for pale green clothes", I don't want her to be interested.

But what qualifications do you have to be her affection? If he hadn't met Ye Fu's kindness, he might still be living a life of hunger and cold, although everyone respectfully calls him "sir", but he is still embarrassed, he remembered the previous marriages, the woman refused because he was too poor, not to mention that Xiuwan is Ye Fu's maid? Maybe it was just a whim, he thought, shook his head with a wry smile, and went.

The wind was tight on a cold night, and after Xiuwan waited for the old lady to lie down, she came out and whispered to a few maids in the outhouse: "You find someone to come out, rest here today, and watch the old lady carefully." ”

With that, Xiuwan took her cloak and walked to her house. Xiuwan's residence is the courtyard of Shen Yun's house before, and it is not very secluded, so Xiuwan saw that there was no one around, so she lit the lamp and picked up the semi-finished cotton clothes hidden in the wardrobe.

Xiuwan's eyes are not good, she wears a needle and thread with a pair of empty eyes, and her gestures are very warm. The work in her hand is naturally for Mr. Tao, she feels sorry for him and has few clothes to ward off the cold, it just so happens that Ye Lusheng and Ye Lu'an still have leftover materials for making clothes, and Mrs. Ye doesn't know whether it is intentional or not, she always rewards her.

She was tired of sewing, so she had to raise her hand and rub her neck, she heard the cold wind outside the window, but her heart was warm: "What a good material......"

After more than ten days in such a hurry, Xiuwan finally stayed up late to sew the last pocket of the cotton clothes, she carefully wrapped the clothes in linen, and planned to send them to Mr. Tao after he finished the class for Ye Shoujue.

Who knew that the house wanted to buy some things, Mrs. Ye was worried that these newcomers would not buy them, so she could only send Xiuwan to go, and when she came back with the basket, it was already late.

"Thank you for your hard work." Mrs. Ye asked her to drink hot tea, Xiuwan thanked her, and said: "This winter, it's getting dark fast, I have only been out for a short time, and I can't see clearly on the way back." ”

Old Madam Ye said with guilt on her face: "It's also to blame that I forgot your eyes, come again, I didn't know how long it would take." ”

Xiuwan smiled and shook her head, and then heard Old Madam Ye ask, "Xiuwan, what do you think of that Mr. Tao?" ”

Xiuwan didn't expect Mrs. Ye to suddenly ask about this, and after thinking about it, she answered truthfully: "Mr. Tao is very good, he is full of poetry and books, and he is very talented...... the key is that he is very backbone" When she said this, she turned her head sideways and saw Mrs. Ye looking at her meaningfully and smiling, she blushed and couldn't continue, so Mrs. Ye said: "Seeing that you praise him so much, I think you are interested in Mr. Tao, so in this way, I will let you marry Mr. Tao, okay?" ”

Xiuwan took a few steps back in shame and said, "Okay, why did the old lady make fun of me?" Anyway, Xiuwan went out to work for most of the day, but she didn't expect to listen to the old lady make fun of her when she came back. ”

Mrs. Ye smiled but did not answer, so Xiuwan instructed her to bring hot water and wait for her to wash her face and soak her feet before falling asleep.

The maid in the house carried a lantern to send Xiuwan out, and said halfway: "It's so cold, it's not snowing." ”

Xiuwan looked back and smiled: "You give me the lantern, go back and rest quickly." The maid was naturally a little embarrassed, but Xiuwan took it first and said, "You go." With that, he walked away.

Back in the house, Xiuwan saw the linen burden resting on the bed at a glance, put the lantern carefully, and went over to pick up the burden and be distracted.

The cold of the night made her shiver, she checked the things in her hand, got up and picked up the lantern and went out again.
