Chapter 41: Inquiring

Zhao Xin had already gotten up to say goodbye to Mrs. Tai at this time, and his sister also followed Mrs. Tai, two uncles, two ladies, several elders of the big house, the second master and Luo Shi.

"I'll send my sister." Hua Jin seized the opportunity and stood up from his chair.

Hua Hui and Hua Jin met their eyes for the first time, but their eyes were full of indifference and alienation, and there was even a kind of contempt, "My sister has been pampered since she was a child, and she has just been frozen outside, so let's stay in the house." ”

Not only did he not give her any chance to get close, but he also said that she was pampered.

These words come out of the mouths of others, even if they are their own sisters......

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, the eldest lady Wang looked at Hua Kun, "Let Brother Kun lead a few younger brothers to send them out of the second gate." ”

Zhao Xin is the son of the Marquis of Guangchang, and Hua Kun is the son of the Marquis of Jingning, so it is not rude.

Hua Jin couldn't help but look at his brother Hua Chen, seeing that his gaze was full of comfort, he couldn't help but nod lightly to his brother, and watched the group leave Chaohui Courtyard.

Looking at her sister's indifferent and resolute back, Hua Jin felt that his heart was once again immersed in ice water.

After sitting down, I heard Mrs. Tai say to Liu on the other side of the big house: "You are tired of traveling early in the morning, so it is better to go back early." ”

Liu Shi felt a little unbearable on his face, "My nephew and daughter-in-law still want to stay by Mrs. Tai's side for a while to do their filial piety." ”

Wang took Mrs. Tai's words: "Mrs. Sister-in-law, I have ordered the concierge to prepare an extra carriage and a silver ......."

Before Wang finished speaking, Liu laughed, "It's still Mrs. Tai who thinks about us, and the nephew and daughter-in-law are better than obeying their fate, so I took them back." After saying that, he ordered the people in their room to kowtow to Mrs. Tai.

Everyone knelt down again, and Hua Jin saw Hua Qi clutching the handkerchief in his hand at the moment of kneeling, and his lips moved up and down and quietly spit out two words, "Shame!" ”

Hua Jin was unconsciously amused by Hua Qi's stubborn and playful appearance, and there was a faint trace of sourness in his heart.

When the occupants of the room of my uncle's and grandfather's house left, the feast was dispersed.

followed the second master and Luo Shi back to Hongxun Courtyard, and as soon as he stepped into the courtyard gate, Hua Chen quickly chased after him from behind.

He was a little out of breath, and it seemed that he was in a hurry, so he greeted the second master and Luo Shi first, and then looked at Hua Jin, "Sister, do you remember the travelogue I bought for you last time, can I borrow it from my brother?" ”

Hua Jin nodded, "I put it in the study, if my brother wants to use it, just follow me to get it." ”

After saying goodbye to the second master and Luo, Hua Rui and Hua Wei, Hua Jin led his brother back to his small courtyard.

After entering the inner room and taking off her cloak, she took her brother to the small study, leaving Bai Tao alone to guard the door.

When he entered the study, Hua Jin couldn't help but look at Hua Chen, "Brother wants to tell me about my sister?" ”

Hua Chen nodded, his face couldn't help but become solemn.

"What did my brother hear?"

"After sending my sister and brother-in-law out of the second gate and getting into the carriage, I deliberately followed behind the carriage for a distance."

Hua Jin's face froze, "What did my brother see?" ”

"The curtain of the carriage was so dense that I could not see anything, except a muffled sound from inside, followed by the low sobs of my sister."

Hua Jin clutched the handkerchief in his hand tightly, "I know that Zhao Xin is not as gentle and elegant as he seems on the surface." ”

Hua Chen frowned and glanced at Hua Jin's pink little fist, she had never seen her sister like this in her memory, "Sister ......"

Hua Jin didn't care, and looked up at Hua Chen, his eyes flashed, faintly tinged with mist, "Brother, did my sister tell you anything before leaving?" ”

"My sister urged me to study hard, gain fame, and be worthy of my mother's teachings during her lifetime."

"That's right, my sister is still my sister, but there are people around her who forced her to become what she is now."

So, what is it that is stuck between her and her sister? Could this person be Roche? Or is it the Leling Zhao family?

Hua Jin felt clueless for a while.

"Brother, do you remember? When my sister was young, she protected the two of us the most. ”

"yes!" Hua Chen's eyes also flickered.

Hua Jin loosened his fist, and when he raised his eyes, the mist under his eyes had been replaced by perseverance, "Brother, do you have any classmates from Leling in your academy?" ”

Hua Chen shook his head after a moment's thought, "I'll inquire tomorrow when I go to the academy." ”

seemed to be infected by his sister's gaze, and his tone became much tougher, "Even if I don't, I will definitely find a way to find out what kind of person he Leling Zhao Xin is." ”

Hua Jin smiled, the tacit understanding between her brother and her made people laugh.

…………

Before I knew it, it had reached the eighth day of the lunar month.

Hua Jin counted the days, and it has been more than two months since he came here.

She looked out through the moire window lattice, and since she woke up that day, there hadn't been a single snowflake, but the weather was getting colder and colder.

Bai Tao and Zhi Tao are serving her to change her clothes and prepare to go to Chaohui Temple to say goodbye.

Zhi Tao rummaged through the four-door wardrobe and took out a peach-colored carved silk jacket from it, "Our girl originally wore this brightly colored dress to look the best. ”

But after finishing speaking, he looked at the small jacket in his hand, and then looked at the five girls standing there, and was a little dumbfounded after comparison.

Bai Tao laughed out loud, "When did you get the clothes, and you even took them out for the girl to wear." ”

"Yes, in the past three years of filial piety, the girl has grown so tall!" looked regretful, "This is a carved little jacket, I haven't put it on twice!" ”

Bai Tao went to the cabinet again to pick out suitable clothes and came out, "It seems that the girl really wants to make some more clothes, the colors made in the past two years are too plain." ”

Hua Jin just smiled slightly, "It's okay, I just like plain." ”

After speaking, Bai Tao served her and put on a moon-white silk satin jacket, and the lower body was an embroidered lotus blue moon skirt picked by Zhi Tao.

Bai Tao picked a tourmaline carved hairpin and put it in her bun, and Zhi Tao put her loose pleated soft wool brocade cloak on her shoulder, and tied the belt for her in front of her.

Hua Jin took the two maids to Zhaohui Courtyard, and as soon as he entered the warm pavilion of the main landlord, he saw that the eldest lady Wang was comparing a jewel blue woven silver silk peony flower satin to Mrs. Tai's body.

The ladies in the room were all dressed in flowers, and everyone's smiles seemed to deepen.

Especially Mrs. Tai, who was sitting on the big kang near the window, seemed to have a smile of ...... After seeing Hua Jin, he beckoned to her, "The five girls came just in time." ”

Taking two steps forward, Hua Jin saw several red lacquer and gold boxes stacked on the pineapple wood carved magpie kang table, as well as a piece of cloth more than half a person high piled on the kang.
