"My sister is hard working here, but my sister is still looking for my sister, how can my sister ......have a heart" Xiuzhu pressed his chest exaggeratedly, looked at Dangui with a painful face, and made the two people in the room laugh, and at the same time felt extremely comforted in his heart.

-- Dividing line --

Xiuzhu and Rosewood packed up the gifts, packed them in a box, put them in the blue, and one person carried a door out of the Miaoxian Residence, and the outside was full of lights and beaming.

If you can ignore the homeless people outside the imperial capital and the panicked hearts inside the city, then it can be called a perfect New Year.

When they arrived at Ming Yuxuan with brisk steps, Li Miaoyu had not come back, and the two eldest maids were not there.

Xiuzhu stepped on the bridge deck made of white jade, and walked out side by side with red sandalwood.

The snow on the ice has not yet dispersed, and it is white and smooth, and it must have been frozen underneath.

Walking on the bridge, I only feel that my horizons are broadened, and my mood is also broadened.

"Has the second lady always lived here?" Xiuzhu playfully flicked the stone lion carved on the white jade railing with his fingers, and asked with a smile, "In spring and summer, it's a good scenery here!" ”

Zi Sandalwood also laughed, "Isn't it, even if it's autumn, Gu is very elegant, a talented concubine who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the former An Guogong once lived here, didn't you see that the decoration inside was first-class?" ”

"Autumn? What's the view? Xiuzhu looked around puzzled, and then locked his eyes on the snow-covered lake, "Is it 'leaving the residual lotus to listen to the sound of the rain'?" It's rare and elegant! ”

"Yes, my sister knows this too?" Zi Sandalwood glanced at Xiuzhu in surprise, and then suddenly realized, "Literacy is different, it seems to be particularly smart." ”

Xiu Zhu saw that her eyes were full of envy, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, "My sister can also be literate." In the future, I will teach you? ”

Zi Sandalwood almost jumped up with joy, but since the two of them were still in the territory of the second young lady Li Miaoyu, they pressed down and asked in a low voice: "Xiuzhu, what you said is true?" ”

Xiuzhu nodded seriously.

The two of them laughed and walked towards Merlin, the Anguo Mansion. Xiuzhu walked, while paying attention to the plum trees that were still in bloom on the side of the road, and if there were those that could be obtained, and the flowers were fresh, she picked a few and threw them into the basket, and when she arrived at the dark incense courtyard, the basket in her hand was basically full.

The gate of Meixiangyuan was closed, and there was not even half a figure in front of the door.

Xiu Zhu stepped forward and knocked lightly a few times, but no one responded for a long time, and when he pushed it again, the door "creaked" open, and there was still no figure in it.

Xiuzhu turned his head and looked at Zi Sandalwood, both of them were puzzled.

Today is the New Year, even if the master is sympathetic and gives the people in the family a holiday, there should be someone on duty!

Moreover, the He family's hometown is near the imperial capital, and I haven't heard that I want to go home to worship my ancestors before, so I shouldn't have figured it out overnight, and the whole family went out overnight, right?

With doubts, Xiuzhu tiptoed into the courtyard, wanting to see what the situation was, and only then came to the shadow wall, but heard a crisp sound, something fell to the ground, and fell apart. Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Gu's angry voice came over, "It's all grown up!" The wings are hard! One by one, dare not listen to me? ”

"Mother—not what you say...... Father and brother should also share their share when they go back to worship their ancestors, so why should you be so angry! ”

"Should it be divided? What is due? Without your father, wouldn't they have worshiped their ancestors for more than ten years? Why did we become wronged as soon as we came back? ”

“…… Mother—" the little girl in the house coquettishly said, "You take your breath!" After all, my father's surname is still there, and my grandfather's and grandmother's graves are also there! How can you ignore it? ”

Xiuzhu's feet, which had already been raised, fell gently, stood there, looked out the door, and quietly glanced at the red sandalwood.

Rosewood had apparently also heard the conversation between the two people in the room and was shocked.

No wonder, there is no half a figure in and out of the courtyard!

This is hearing other people's secrets, although Xiuzhu is not afraid, he still unconsciously takes a small step back.

The footsteps landed, just stepping on a thin branch that had been blown off by the wind, making a slight creaking sound.

Although the sound was not loud and did not alarm the people in the room, it seemed that it was not very appropriate to listen to it like this.

So, with an idea, Xiuzhu stepped up, did not go inside, but walked a few steps towards the courtyard gate, and then closed the open door for half a while, and asked with a smile: "Mrs. Aunt, is Miss Cousin at home?" ”

Zi Sandalwood glanced at Xiu Zhu, and immediately understood, and stepped on it with a crackling sound, "Our young lady said that Mrs. Xie is rewarded!" She likes it very much, but she still has something to do, and she can't thank her in person, so she sent her servants over! ”

When the two people in the house heard the movement in the courtyard, they stopped talking and walked out together, without a maid behind them.

Xiuzhu and Rosewood glanced at each other, stepped forward to salute together, and then took out the contents of the basket in the same way, and introduced them to the two people with a smile, "These two boxes are the rouge made by Miss herself, and the raw material is the plum blossoms blooming on the plum trees in our house, which are the cleanest." Our young lady said that these things are very simple, and I hope that Mrs. Gu and Miss Biao will see it, and I will thank you in person if I have time. ”

Mrs. Gu raised her eyes, carefully looked at the demeanor of the two maids, and saw that Xiuzhu was well-behaved and relaxed, and secretly relieved herself, "How long have you two been serving in the eldest lady's yard?" ”

Zi Sandalwood bowed his head and curtsied respectfully and replied: "If you return to Mrs. Hui's words, the slave maid was originally serving in Mrs. Tai's yard, and she only came to the eldest lady not long ago. ”

Wasn't it the day my aunt and Miss Cousin entered the house not long ago? They were all there!

Xiuzhu did the same, also lowered his head, bent his knees, and said with a smile: "The slave maid arrived at the Miaoxian Residence earlier than Sister Zi Sandalwood, and it was about the beginning of autumn at that time. ”

When Miss Biao heard that the two of them were all maids beside Li Miaoxian, she snorted coldly, squinted her eyes, and looked at people with white eyes.

After listening to the introduction of the two people, Mrs. Gu already smiled lovingly: "The virtuous girl has a heart." These days, I just think the rouge outside tastes too greasy and the color is not festive enough! Isn't that a coincidence? As he spoke, he took the rouge box sent by Xiuzhu and them, held it in his hand, and scratched the lid with her fingernails in her hand, glanced at Xiuzhu again, stared at the basket in her hand and asked, "What's in there?" But it was also sent by the virtuous girl? ”
