Chapter 35: The Forbidden Yard

Xiao Junying has been confined to the room by Li Yi since the doctor came to see her that day. It is said that it is windy outside, and I am afraid that I will suffer from the wind cold.

Today, I finally took advantage of Li Yi's absence to avoid the people he put in his room, and sneaked out with Si Qin. She wandered around the yard with her cloak on, admiring the chrysanthemums planted in the yard. The weather in Chang'an is really much colder than Yangzhou, and I really can't adapt to it at this time.

Si Qin pointed to a blooming yellow chrysanthemum and said to Xiao Junyao: "Madam, look how well that one blooms. ”

Xiao Junyao raised her eyes and saw that the yellow chrysanthemum in the ten thousand flowers was standing proudly in the cold wind with the crystal dew of the early morning.

"It really opened very well."

She raised her hand and stroked her hair bun, and suddenly found that the silver phoenix openwork hairpin she had worn in the morning was gone. She looked towards the ground around her, but she didn't see it, and her face suddenly panicked.

Si Qin stepped forward and said, "Madam, what are you looking for?" ”

Xiao Junyu pointed to the position of the original hairpin on the bun, "Can you see this hairpin I wore this morning?" I don't seem to know where I fell.,This was given to me by the master.,What should I do if it's gone? ”

Seeing Xiao Junxuan's flustered face, Si Qin opened his mouth and explained: "Madam, don't worry, I'll follow the road we have walked to find it, and I will definitely find it." ”

"Okay, be careful on the road, I'll wait for you here."

"Yes."

Si Qin responded, turned around and followed the path under his feet.

Xiao Junzhen didn't have any mood to enjoy the flowers at the moment, standing in place and looking at the road from time to time, her heart was full of anxiety.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Junzhen suddenly saw a figure appear at the intersection in the distance. She squinted and saw that this person was also dressed in the costume of a big maidservant, but his figure and walking style did not look very much like Siqin.

Although the maidservant had seen her standing here, she walked slowly, unhurriedly.

When she got closer, Xiao Junzhen took a look and realized that it was Cui'er beside the eldest lady. Although I was not discharged from the hospital a few days ago, I also heard the people below mention it. Cui'er, the eldest maid beside the eldest lady, made a mistake, was scolded with a cane 20 times, and was locked in the room for three days without eating.

I thought that after this torture, the face should be yellow and the body should be weak. But how to look at Cui'er in front of her, her face was ruddy and full of spring, and she didn't look like she had been punished at all.

Cui'er gave Xiao Junyu a vague salute, her eyes full of disdain. "Cui'er has seen the second lady."

Xiao Junyao's gaze slowly moved from her face to her bun, and the whole person was stunned at first, and then couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.

Cui'er deliberately dressed up today, and she wanted to laugh in front of Xiao Junzhen, but she didn't expect Xiao Junzhen to laugh when she saw her. This smile made her heart furious, but she still pretended to be proud on her face.

"Madame, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Junzhen stopped laughing and stroked her hair bun with her hand. "Miss Cui'er is dressed up so beautifully today, and the silver phoenix hairpin on her head is also very beautiful! I don't know where it came from? ”

Cui'er listened to her praise herself, although she didn't believe it in her heart, but it was still beautiful. She stroked the hairpin on her head and said coquettishly: "Naturally, it is a gift from a nobleman." ”

At this time, Si Qin ran over with a disappointed face and said to Xiao Junyao: "Madam, I still haven't found it." She turned her head to look at Cui'er next to her, who else would the hairpin on that head belong to if it wasn't Madame's. She pointed to the hairpin on Cui'er's head with a shocked face and said, "This is not ·····"

Xiao Junzhen naturally understood what she was going to say, raised her hand and patted her hand pointing at Cui'er, interrupting her and saying, "You also look at Cui'er's hairpin, I was still talking about it just now." ”

Si Qin glanced up at Xiao Junzhen and saw her looking at herself with a smile. She swallowed back the latter words and echoed: "Yes, Miss Cui'er's hairpin is so beautiful. ”

Cui'er looked at the words and deeds of the master and servant a little strangely, but she didn't think much about it, and was immersed in her own joy.

"The eldest lady also told me to do things, so I won't talk to the lady here, and I'll leave first."

Cui'er didn't even salute, turned around and left.

Si Qin looked at her rude appearance and was angry. looked at her back and said angrily in a low voice: "Madam, she doesn't take you too seriously." ”

Xiao Junyu turned her head and said with a calm face: "Don't worry, someone will clean her up." ”

With that, turn around and continue walking down the path.

Si Qin frowned and looked at her back, his fingers tugging at the handkerchief in his hand. Since entering the house, although I have been following and serving by myself, I have never touched her mind.

Even though she is favored by the lord, the eldest lady is also famous for her viciousness, and there are countless women who have died under her hands. The previous Lady Fish is not a living example. What's the use of just pampering, if you don't have a little thought, how can you gain a foothold in this mansion.

Xiao Junzhen walked out a long way before she found that Si Qin hadn't followed, and turned her head and called, "What are you thinking?" Don't catch up yet. ”

Si Qin's thoughts were interrupted by her, she raised her head to look at her harmless face, and responded, "Yes, come here." ”

As he spoke, he followed with small steps.

The wind suddenly blew and caused the chrysanthemums in the yard to sway from side to side. There is also less birdsong in the air, and more silence.

Xiao Junzhen walked and suddenly saw a bamboo forest, and her heart rose, so she walked towards the depths of the bamboo forest.

Si Qin only felt a little familiar everywhere, and before she could react, Xiao Junzhen had already walked in, and she had to follow.

Xiao Junyao walked through the dense bamboo forest, and suddenly saw a small courtyard appear in front of her. A hint of surprise flashed across her face, and she raised her hand to push the door open.

Si Qin just came out of the bamboo forest with great difficulty, and when he saw the courtyard in front of him, memories came flooding back to his heart.

"Ma'am, don't go in."

It was too late for her to stop her, Xiao Junzhen had already pushed open the courtyard door and walked in.

Xiao Junying stood in the courtyard and looked around at the surrounding scenery. Her eyes lit up again, and the scenery inside this small courtyard was even more pleasing than the outside.

She turned her head and said to Si Qin: "Si Qin, look, this courtyard ·····" As soon as the words came out, he saw Si Qin still standing outside the door, and suddenly looked puzzled.

"Siqin, why don't you come in? Come on in! ”

Si Qin hesitated and stepped in, "Madame, this is a forbidden place, and you won't let people in." ”

Xiao Junzhen frowned and looked at her, pondered for a while, and hesitated: "Mo is not the courtyard of the previous lady." ”

Si Qin bowed his head and said, "Exactly." ”

Xiao Junzhen suddenly understood, and turned her head to look at the courtyard with nostalgia. If it weren't for Si Qin's words, she really wanted to walk around the room.

"Let's get out."

With that, he turned around with Siqin to leave.

Who knew that as soon as she turned around, she was facing Li Yi's eyes full of anger.
