Yuehe smiled miserably: "Master, what is the identity of the slave and maid, when you enter this Qing Garden, can you still live in the courtyard like Wu Yagege." There is a ring waiting. The slave and maid murdered Angege, did not let him die on the spot, and he was able to pick up half a life, and he had a bowl of white rice to eat every day, which is not considered a special grace given by Fujin. Huizhu frowned slightly, and her tone seemed to be divided: "Impossible, you don't have the courage to murder An's family, at most you are just jealous."

Yuehe looked at Huizhu in a daze, coughed a few times in succession, exhaled, and said: "The master is the master, how can the slave's little abacus escape the master's eyes." It seems that everything the slave did was in vain, and it ended up like this. Huizhu didn't answer, Su Xinping asked with a temperament: "It's all in vain, you touch your conscience and think about it, how has the master treated you over the years, he is used to you everywhere, he is good to you, what about you?" But he carried his master on his back and climbed onto the master's bed. The end of the situation now is also your own choice. Speaking of the back, Su Xin's voice seemed to be choked and slightly sour.

Yuehe called out to "Sister Suxin" sadly, and then looked at Huizhu and said: "In this life, the best person for slaves and maids is the master, and the person who is most sorry for slaves and maids is also the master." Master, the slave and maid are now provincial, but it is too late. What is the situation of the slave and the maid now, the slave and the maid are very clear, the master can come to see the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid are very content. After a pause, he was panting again, his face was dead, he was fighting his spirits, supporting his skinny body, his cloudy eyes were shining with hope, and he said with longing: "Master, you are willing to come to see the slave and maid, but you forgive the slave and maid."

Huizhu saw Yuehe like this, remembering the first time she met, the twelve or thirteen-year-old girl, innocent and lively, her heart was inexplicable for a while, she couldn't help but close her eyes slightly, opened her eyes, and said: "I have never resented you, and there is no word to forgive, but I am a little disappointed in what you have done." Yuehe shook his head again and again, and said in disbelief: "Impossible, impossible...... Master, when you say this, you are unwilling to forgive the slave and maid, otherwise how could you be very cold to the master and deliberately stay away. Huizhu's heartstrings shook, completely lowered her eyelids, and said slowly: "You have been by my side for all these years, and you know me very well, but my cold and alienated from my lord is that I can't cross my own threshold, but it has nothing to do with you."

Yuehe seemed to be unable to support it anymore, and fell crooked on the dirty black bedding, and whispered: "It turns out that the slave maid is just an inconsequential slave from beginning to end." After finishing speaking, his face seemed to fall into some kind of good past, and he recalled: "The slave maid entered the house for more than ten months, and served by the master's side for eight years, but that time became the happiest time for the slave maid to live in this life." In the small courtyard at that time, there were masters, Su Xinjie, Xia Mei, Mama Zhang, and slaves and maids, "The words were not finished, and the strength was exhausted, and after a long time, I looked up at the wisps of light cast outside the window, my eyes were blurred, I raised my right hand slightly, and yearned: "If there is an afterlife, the slave and maid will stay by the master's side for slaves and maids, and accompany the master." Now, the slave is tired, the slave's little Gege is waving to the slave, she says she misses the slave, she calls the slave and the maid, what a beautiful voice, little Gege...".

"Roar", the sour wooden door was pushed open, the bright light of the white flame was so bright that people couldn't open it, Huizhu blocked it with her hand, patted her footsteps, stepped out of the room, and said lightly: "Yuehe is gone, let Gao Gonggong find a baby girl's clothes, and bury it with Yuehe." As he spoke, Su Xin handed over two taels of silver to the mother-in-law, and the mother-in-law was immediately overjoyed, her face smiled, and she flattered Huizhu who had gone away: "Niu Hulu Fujin, don't worry, the old slave will go to pass the word, and take care of the Yuehe girl, let her go."

On the evening of the same day, the little maid in the first courtyard swept Yuehe's body with grass and sent it out of Prince Yong's mansion. Xu is Huizhu spoke, and the errand bought land on the outskirts of the city, Yuehe and the baby girl's small clothes, and buried them in a coffin. With a handful of loess scattered, the vivid life of Yuehe in his early teens was finally covered by the thick soil.

The night is quiet, the moontop treetops, the cold light pours down from the dark sky, illuminating the suburbs and wilderness in the white light, illuminating the palace of Prince Yong in the capital, which is also extraordinarily transparent. It was night, and the sound of the watch sounded twice, and the pole of Nian's yard was lit up with a red light. At that time, Huizhu washed properly, moved the lamp to bed, and gradually fell asleep... One

On this day, Huizhu did not visit last year's courtyard because of the matter of the moon lotus, so on the second day, after a short nap, she prepared a congratulatory gift and went to visit.

Nian's was lying crookedly on the kang with cool fruits, and when he saw that Huizhu was coming, he hurriedly beckoned Mama Xing to give Huizhu a seat, and ordered someone to make tea, serve a fruit plate and snacks, and said with a smile: "Let Sister Niu Hulu laugh, she has her own body, and people are always very tired, so it will be more comfortable when she sleeps and lies down." Huizhu took a sip of tea, squinted and smiled: "Sister Nian, you are delicate now, I am just here to run around the door, how can I work for me, you are so lying down."

When Nian heard this, he smiled and said: "My sister is not an outsider, I will not be polite in front of you, and when I give birth to a child, I still have to learn how to raise a child from you, so that I can teach Brother Hongli to be as smart." I heard that Sister Li was very envious in my heart, and even went to the people who served my sister in the past to check the news, so that she could learn a thing or two. Huizhu's heart sank, but her voice raised slightly: "Really? But I don't believe it much, after all, Brother Hongshi is a smart and clever person, much better than the naughty egg Hongli. ”

Nian's willow eyebrows moved lightly, picked a sour green plum fruit, chewed it carefully, and said with satisfaction on his face: "This fruit meets my appetite." Skimming over what I said first? Mama Xing smiled and said: "How can it not be compatible, the master has always known your preferences, it is still recently, everything that has to be used, don't wait for you to open your mouth, the best one has been sent over."

Hearing this, Nian's eyes showed a soft light, and a happy smile was higher on his beautiful face, and he said strangely: "Sister Niu Hulu is still there, Mama look at what you said, just like I, an adult, I can't take care of myself, but let the master pay attention, doesn't it make my sister laugh." Huizhu also raised a smile, but did not answer, but tasted the preserved fruit.

Subsequently, Huizhu sent small clothes, small shoes, tiger head hats that can be worn by boys and girls, as well as Western ornaments that children can play with. These, which really made Nian's happy, took the child's clothes, looked at them carefully, and even said very well. So the two had nothing else to say, just talking about pregnant women and children, but they also talked happily and laughed constantly. Until the early afternoon, Hui Zhufang said goodbye to Nian and left.

Back in the courtyard, Su Xin took over from Xiaowen, took the flower tea cup and handed it to Huizhu and said, "Master, you have been in Fujin for a while last year, what did she say." Huizhu took the teacup, rubbed it, and said indifferently: "The child is homely, what can happen, but in the days to come, Nian Fujin has the care of the master, but he can add a child to the house." Su Xin didn't want Huizhu to speak in such a tone, so she changed the conversation and asked Lian: "Angege is still in Xiaoyuezi, but he also has to prepare a gift and send someone to send it." Huizhu said: "Brother Yuan'er's injury has long been healed, and I have nothing to do with An's family, so it is difficult to become troublesome because of the rumors in the house." Ming'er picked up some ejiao and other medicinal materials in the library and asked Xiao Ranzi to send them. ”

Su Xin answered, and picked something to please Hui Zhuxi. I found a needlework fabric, while doing needlework, while thinking about waiting for the winter, Hongli returned home, made new clothes and hats for Hongli, and accompanied Huizhu to chatter, and the words were still a few days, Huizhu can enter the palace to see Hongli, for a while, the words are all joyful.

In this way, a few days passed quickly, and at the end of the month, Huizhu and the Ulanala clan went to the palace early in the morning to ask for peace. When she arrived at Yonghe Palace, Concubine De just got up, finished grooming, and was about to have breakfast, when she saw the two of them, she smiled and said: "It's just right to come, I accompanied the palace to eat some food." Huizhu and the Ulanala clan agreed, and accompanied Concubine De to breakfast.

After breakfast, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gossiped, and Concubine De saw that Huizhu was absent-minded, and frequently looked out, and teased: "The palace said, then I came to accompany me this morning, it turned out to be to see the good grandson of the palace." Okay, don't look at it, it's just that you want to wear it, and Xiao Hongli can't come last afternoon, and the queen mother and her old man sent her grandmother to take it over. Huizhu looked at Concubine De, Concubine De was amused by Huizhu's expression, clapped her hands and smiled: "You, rest assured, the Queen Mother's capable grandmother will take care of her, and she will raise Xiao Hongli for nothing." What could Huizhu say, she had to laugh and explain: "The concubine is afraid of Hongli's little monkey, and she is very noisy, which annoys Eniang and the Queen Mother."

Concubine De thought about Emperor Kangxi's praise, a trace of pride flashed her eyebrows, and she took Huizhu's hand affectionately, and said happily: "Hongli is a smart child, long live the lord is very happy, how can he be suspicious." However, the little guy is sticky to you, and he thinks about it every day, especially on the day he first came, but he is in a hurry. He woke up with his eyes open, and didn't see you, it was a crying and noisy, clamoring for Eniang, long live the Lord almost let people send it back, fortunately Gonggong Li was careful, served a plate of plum blossom cakes, and coaxed Hongli to stop crying, and obediently ate snacks. As she spoke, Concubine De seemed to remember something interesting, and leaned back with a smile. When Huizhu heard this, she was so depressed in her heart, and regretted why she wanted to control Hongli to eat pastries in the first place, so she let Li Dequan buy a plate of plum blossom cakes.

Concubine De didn't know what Huizhu was thinking, so she pulled the Ulanala clan and Huizhu to gossip, chattering about Hongli's interesting things in the palace. Later, before it was time to leave the palace, Concubine De gave a message to let Huizhu enter the palace at the beginning of next month, and said that Hongli got up every morning, just clamoring for Eniang, if so, he would not stay in the Queen Mother for a few days, and he would have to be sent back to Yongheguan.

Then Huizhu thanked Concubine De, regretted that she had improved slightly, and left the palace.
