Chapter 424: Innocence (I)

Coming out of Eleven Niang's house, it was raining lightly outside.

It is slicing and hitting the bamboo tips and burnt leaves, and it has a cold taste.

Xu Sichen asked Du's mother, who came to see if he was resting: "Do you remember my mother's birthday?" ”

Du's mother thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "It's May 26," and she was a little undecided, "It should be May 27." "Mom is old, so I don't remember it very clearly. Why did the Fourth Young Master suddenly ask about this today? ”

"Nothing!" Xu Sizhen lowered his eyelids, and his thick long eyelashes were like a small fan, casting a moonbud-shaped shadow, which was very cute, "I just remembered it suddenly!" ”

Mother Du hugged Xu Sizhen lovingly: "Go to bed early!" I'm going to school early tomorrow morning! ”

"Hmm!" Xu Sichen responded gently and obediently, and lay down staggeringly.

Mother Du helped him tuck the corners of the quilt, instructed the tea on duty at night a few words, and then went to Mrs. Tai.

Cha Xiang closed the door and rested on the chaise longue beside her.

The room fell silent.

The water droplets on the eaves dripped regularly, and the sound was clearly audible, so noisy that Xu Sizhen couldn't sleep. From time to time, the slightly flattering smiling faces of the housekeeper's mothers came to his mind.

In the past, these belonged only to his mother, but now, they belong to another person.

When he thought about this, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.

"Tea fragrance," Xu Sizhen couldn't sleep, "What kind of person is your mother?" ”

The people on the bed kept tossing and turning, and the tea didn't dare to close their eyes.

"My mother!" Cha Xiang said with a smile, "I used to be an errand boy in the house and served Mrs. Tai. However, she only achieved the third-class maid and was matched. She thought of her mother's elated appearance when she heard that she was going to the fourth young master's house on an errand, and showed a happy smile, "When I meet people, I say that I have a good future, and I am a hundred times stronger than her at that time." Tell us to serve the fourth young master well, and when we go out in the future, we will also be a decent person......"

Xu Sichen was a little absent-minded after listening to a few words.

His mother was not like that. His mother just sat there with a smile, and let the mothers in charge stand with their hands down, not to mention those third-class maids. His mother doesn't talk to everyone, it's all said by others, she listened with a pleasant expression, and as soon as she spoke, everyone fell silent and listened to her......

Thinking of this, he suddenly had the idea of meeting his mother, and this thought became stronger and stronger as time went by.

Xu Sichen got up suddenly, climbed onto the big kang near the window with his shoes on.

Cha Xiang didn't have time to put on his clothes, so he grabbed the jacket on the quilt and followed.

Xu Si lifted the curtain and looked out.

The rain seems to have stopped, and the red lanterns shine on the bluestone slabs after the rain, glowing with alluring multicolored light.

"Cha Xiang, I want to go see my mother!" At this moment, the thought was so strong that it made him restless.

Cha Xiang was taken aback: "Fourth young master, it's already very late." Let's go again tomorrow......"

Before she could speak, Xu Sizhen had already slipped off the kang, ran to the hanger on the side, pulled a royal blue robe and put it on his body.

Cha Xiang hurriedly followed: "Fourth young master, if you let Mrs. Tai know, you will be angry......"

Xu Sichen turned around suddenly, his eyes were fixed on the fragrance of tea, and his eyes were as clear and transparent as glass.

I don't know why, the tea fragrance is very embarrassing.

Xu Sizhen had already lowered his head: "My mother's birthday is May 27, but everyone doesn't remember it......"

Droplets of water fell and landed at her feet.

Tea Xiang couldn't help but feel sour and chu in his heart.

The sound of the chiming bell ringing in my ears came to my ears.

She couldn't help but bite her lip.

Now it is correct, and the courtyard of the late fourth lady is behind the courtyard of Mrs. Tai, where Mother Wang and others live, and there are also people who keep vigil in this courtyard...... It shouldn't matter!

"Fourth Young Master, then we have to talk to Biluo and them......"

Xu Sizhen raised his head, and his eyes that had been washed with tears were particularly black.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled into a pleasant arc.

The rain did stop, but the wind stirred.

Cha Xiang took Xu Sizhen's hand and tiptoed out of the door.

The courtyard was quiet, and the lights in Mrs. Tai's inner room had been extinguished.

The fragrance of tea was slightly stunned.

Mrs. Tai rested so early......

"Fourth Young Master, you take care of your step." She whispered, and Xu Sizhen turned around to the ear room next to the main room and went to the backyard.

It may have rained in the evening, and although most of the back houses where the maid lived were lit, there was no one in the yard.

Cha Xiang stood under the window and whispered to the mother-in-law on duty at night: "Mom, I am Cha Xiang in the fourth young master's house, something has fallen on the fourth lady, and I am in a hurry to get it." ”

The mother-in-law immediately opened the door.

The creaking sound of the door shaft turning spread far away, making Cha Xiang's heart thump several times: "Mom, be quiet." Du's mother knew that I couldn't eat and walked around! ”

The woman looked up and saw Xu Sizhen following behind Cha Xiang, and her voice was stiffly lowered an octave.

"I know, I know!" Gently untied the key from his waist and helped them open the back door.

Cha Xiang stuffed two pieces of broken silver to the woman: "Mom will wait for us for a while, and we will come back immediately." ”

The mother-in-law didn't dare to ask for silver: "Miss Chaxiang, go and come back quickly, I'll just guard here." "There was a smile on his face.

"This is the heart of our fourth young master." Cha Xiang pushed the two pieces of broken silver over again.

The mother-in-law accepted it happily and said earnestly: "The fourth young master just go with confidence, no one will find out." ”

Cha Xiang smiled and whispered thanks, and walked out the back door with Xu Si.

On both sides are large trees with lush foliage, and when the wind blows, the branches flutter and make a rustling sound, a bit like the sound of silkworms devouring mulberry leaves, which makes people feel a little chilled when they think about it.

Xu Sizhen leaned towards Cha Xiang's side.

Cha Xiang hurriedly hugged Xu Sizhen's shoulder: "It's okay, it's the wind!" His voice trembled.

"I, I'm not afraid!" Xu Sizhen has no silver three hundred and two roads here, but his eyes are fixed on the red lantern swaying in the wind not far away-that is where his mother lives. When I get there, my mother will bless me.

Cha Xiang nodded, and couldn't help but speed up her steps.

Suddenly, a dark shadow burst out of the woods.

"Ahh The two hugged each other and let out a terrible scream.

The shadow turned sharply as if taken aback by them.

He had a pale face, dark eyes, and a long red tongue hanging from his mouth.

Xu Sizhen rolled his eyes, and the person collapsed softly on the ground.

Eleven Niang had already fallen asleep, and Xu Lingyi was still leaning on the bedside reading a book.

There was a noise outside.

"What's wrong?" She stood on her elbows.

"You rest," Xu Lingyi frowned slightly, put down the book, "I'll take a look!" ”

Eleven Niangfu lay down again.

Xu Lingyi just put on his shoes, and Amber entered through the curtain.

Her face was ugly, she made a hasty blessing salute, and said in a low voice: "Just now, the Ge Jin girl from Mrs. Tai's side came over and said that the fourth young master was frightened, and asked Master Hou to come over and take a look." ”

Xu Lingyi's expression changed when he heard this: "How can this be? ”

"What's going on?" Eleven Niang panicked and sat up.

Xu Lingyi had already bent down and pulled his shoes, and dragged the Taoist robe on the side and draped it on his body.

"There's a mother, you can rest first! I'll take a look. He confessed, and strode out of the inner room.

Eleven Niang shouted "Amber".

Amber hurriedly stepped forward to help Eleven Niang put on her shoes: "Ge Jin didn't say anything, and I didn't have time to ask in detail." As she spoke, she helped Eleven Niang to stand up and served her in a gown.

Just go and find out what's going on.

Eleven Niang and Amber went to Mrs. Tai's.

The lights inside and outside the house were bright, and when they entered the door, they saw the mother-in-law who was on night duty in Mrs. Tai's house with her head bowed and trembling and kneeling in the middle of the courtyard.

Hearing the movement, the little maid with organic spirits came over to help Eleven Niang, and some of them opened the curtain: "Master Hou, Mrs. Tai, the fourth lady is here!" ”

Before the words fell, the jade version came out.

"Fourth lady, why are you here!" As he spoke, he invited her in.

"Where's Brother Zhen?"

Xu Lingyi stood in the center of the hall with a pale face, and Xu Si's close-fitting maid Chaxiang knelt at Xu Lingyi's feet with tears on her face.

Hearing Shi Niang's voice, Cha Xiang's body moved, but in the end, she still maintained a cowardly posture and did not look back.

Xu Lingyi frowned: "Why are you here too!" And he said, "I'm resting in my mother's house." ”

Eleven Niang didn't care about anything, turned around and went to Mrs. Tai's inner room.

Mrs. Tai was sitting on the big kang by the window with her head bowed and wiping her tears, and only Mother Du was serving in the house.

"Mother!" Eleven Niang walked over quickly and saw Xu Sizhen hiding on the kang.

His face was like gold paper, his teeth were clenched, and there was still a frightened expression on his face.

"I've got a doctor!"

"You're here!" Mrs. Tai held Eleven Niang's hand, "Manager Bai has already gone to ask for a doctor." ”

Mother Du had already brought the brocade pestle over.

Eleven Niang was also polite and sat down.

"What's going on?"

Cha Xiang said that Brother Zhen suddenly wanted to worship his mother, she thought that it was still early, and there were Wang Mother and others over there to take care of it...... "I told the story of the incident, "When the mother-in-law on duty rushed out, I saw Brother Zhen and Cha Xiang paralyzed on the ground. ”

It's clear that someone is pretending to be a ghost to scare them.

Eleven Niang's face was grim.

The time and place are so accurately calculated, which is not something that ordinary people can do.

She looked up at Mrs. Tai in confusion.

I saw Mrs. Tai with a sad face, but her eyes were deep but flashing a little cold.

"Brother ...... then," Eleven Niang was very worried.

I don't know if there is an effective way to treat such a condition with traditional Chinese medicine.

Mrs. Tai didn't answer directly, but just told her: "You are a person with a double body, but you can't stand such a toss." Let's go back and rest! With me and Master Hou here, nothing will happen! ”

Brother Zhen is like this, how can she sleep.

Eleven Niang sighed softly: "I'll wait for the doctor to come, see what the doctor says, and then go to rest." ”

"You kid." Mrs. Tai could understand her mood and patted her hands, "Otherwise, go to my bed and rest!" ”

Eleven Niang was about to refuse, but Xu Lingyi walked in with a sinking face.
