In the evening, after dinner.

He Xinmu sat alone in the room, staring at the roof in a daze. Xiao Luo came in and saw that she was not busy, so she walked in and came to her side, her eyes were bright, and she whispered, "Miss, I have inquired clearly." ”

He Xinmu's eyes narrowed slightly, and sure enough, this matter still had to be handed over to Xiaoluo.

She asked Qingyin to inquire about Madame's place, if there was anything special today, when Qingyin heard it, her little face turned pale, and she shook her head desperately, as if she was going to die.

Liu's mother wanted to show her face in front of her wife, and let her go didn't just sell herself.

I couldn't, so I had to find Xiaoluo.

Who knew that when Xiaoluo heard this, her eyes were bright, and she immediately responded.

He Xinmu was still thinking about what this girl wanted to do, but after dinner, Xiaoluo talked back.

"Oh? But what's worth mentioning? ”

Xiao Luo replied: "This morning, all the young ladies and aunts left the main courtyard after saying goodbye, no one has been to Madame again, but today Madame received a guest, who is the wife of Zhen Fucheng, a subordinate of the master." Mrs. Zhen stayed for two moments and left, and then Mrs. was furious and asked Sister Qingyuan to go to the front office to find the master. The master was on official business, and he came back when he was done. When the old man returned to the front office, the lady was already smiling. ”

"What did Mrs. Zhen say to her mother?" He Xinmu asked with one hand running his hair.

Xiao Luo said: "This kind of thing, only Sister Qinghuan and Mother Sun can know." "Qinghuan is Madame's personal maid, and Madame Sun is Madame's dowry girl, and she has been a master and servant with Madame for more than 20 years, and she has not yet reached that level

He Xinmu twitched the edge of the table with his fingers.

Zheng Xiuniang has to ask her wife to say goodbye every day, the morning is fine, how could it be after the afternoon, only to remember to tell Zheng Xiuniang that she doesn't need to teach her anymore. There must have been something going on that she didn't know about, but what was Madame going to do?

The most suspicious He Shuyun didn't do anything, but killed Mrs. Zhen halfway.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Mrs. Zhen is not at home to take care of household chores, running around for something.

But what does her stay-at-home girl's family have to do with Mrs. Zhen.

Could it be that He Xinmu had any holiday with Mrs. Zhen in the past?

He also instructed Xiaoluo: "I'll inquire about Mrs. Zhen tomorrow." ”

Xiao Luo showed an eager expression, and had no intention of quitting.

He Xinmu was puzzled: "Something?" ”

Xiao Luo said proudly: "The slave maid has heard a little about Mrs. Zhen, but there is no need to inquire. ”

"Tell me about it." He Xinmu became more and more curious.

Xiao Luo told the legend of Xiao Lu's family with relish, and He Xinmu listened to it like an obedient book.

After speaking, Xiao Lu's family began to talk about the main Lu family, and He Xinmu pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Or is it like a book......

How did the Zhen couple meet, how they fell in love at first sight, how they married home, and how they were very affectionate......

However, He Xinmu still grasped the point.

The Lu family married into the Zhen family for ten years and did not give birth to an heir, and Zhen Fucheng didn't know whether he loved his wife or was afraid of the little Lu family, so he didn't take a concubine.

Suddenly, an idea crossed her mind.

Mrs. Zhen doesn't want her to be a concubine for Zhen Fucheng, right?

Xiao Luo is still sighing about the singing and crying love story.

He Xinmu was already nauseous, and he had no intention of listening to it anymore, saying that he was tired and wanted to sleep.

Xiao Luo helped her make the bed, served her to wash in a soft voice, and waited for her to lie down before turning off the lights and retreating.

He Xinmu opened a pair of big eyes and didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

In fact, He Xinmu still doesn't understand the world.

As the prefect's concubine, she is no longer taken seriously, and it is impossible to be a concubine for a mansion, but where does she know.

Today's turning and turning is just worrying in vain.

But it's also half of the guess right, and the worry still exists.

About a little later, there was no sound outside.

He Xinmu got up quietly, took out a loose dress from the box under the bed and put it on.

Carefully opened the window, like a cat, and flipped out at once.

Climb over the courtyard wall and head to the garden.

It's winter, and no one will come, let alone at night, even during the day.

So it became her secret venue.

It's just that she has people following all the time, and in order to prevent an emergency, it is safer to come at night.

Find the corner where you usually practice martial arts.

He Xinmu kicked on the trunk of the tree, and the branches rattled.

Luckily, it's winter, and the leaves are all gone, otherwise tomorrow's cleaners will have to face the leaves all over the floor.

She clenched her fists, her mind distracted. A lifelong event is imminent, and she doesn't want to be married off in a daze.

Therefore, I am more and more anxious.

Pick up a branch and practice it against the trunk.

Even in the depths of winter, she was still sweating all over, and she was so tired that she sat on the ground panting.

One day she's going to get out of here, she thought to herself.

After resting for a while, as soon as her strength regained, she continued to practice, and the night passed quickly.

Early in the morning, Qingyin pushed open the door of Miss's room and called softly, "Miss...... Miss ......"

There was no movement inside, and she tiptoed to the side of the bed and pushed a ball on the bed, "Miss, it's time to get up." ”

He Xinmu snorted a few times, revealed a small face from the quilt, rubbed his eyes and asked, "What time is it?" ”

He replied in a light voice: "Three o'clock." Serving He Xinmu got up.

As usual, after washing, I greeted my wife.

Nothing has changed, except that Madame has been very busy lately, so let them go back after asking for peace.

He Xinmu walked back with a heavy heart, thinking about every detail of his wife. As if to say goodbye, Madame glanced at her.

On weekdays, she would have been flattered, but now she is only frightened.

The days were spent in her anxiety.

Soon it was Chinese New Year's Eve, and Mrs. Zhen did not come again, nor did she have any news about her family affairs, and her heart was slightly relaxed these days.

Maybe she's thinking too much.

Maybe Madame just didn't want Zheng Xiuniang to waste time on her.

Thinking of this, He Xinmu, like the other sisters, waited for the New Year with great interest.

Chinese New Year's Eve.

The busy scene in each province has come to an end.

All the aunts and young ladies of He Mansion gathered together in the main courtyard, He Xinmu couldn't play with other sisters, and he was alone on the side, but fortunately, he was accompanied by Xiaoluo, and it was not boring to talk from time to time.

As for Xiaoluo's mentality, she has probably figured it out after watching it for so long.

used to avoid her, because he was afraid that she would turn over old accounts and punish her.

Since Xiao Luo helped her with another errand, Xu felt that the merits were worth it, so she became active again.

A person like Xiaoluo, if you press hard, she will stay away from you, if you don't press, she will have to go to the sky proudly. The best way is to press it every once in a while, and then give a good face, and she will see the opportunity to come to your side.

Compared with the silly girl in the light voice, it is indeed Xiaoluo who can do things.

He Xinmu sighed, there is no way, who let her just these two maids, no matter what it is, it would be good to be able to use it.

Seeing that they were chatting happily, He Xinmu also laughed, the atmosphere at this time was really good, but He Xinmu didn't know how to integrate.

He Lanzhi said that he would watch the fireworks, so he proposed to lead the sisters to the yard to put them.

Where is Zhou's willing: "No, what should I do if I burn your sister?" ”

He Lanzhi is already a young man, what to say.

"Mother, it's okay, I'm watching." After saying that, he led his sisters to the courtyard.

Seeing this, He Rongzhi broke free from his mother and wanted to run out with his brothers and sisters.

At this time, the Lu family was in a hurry, and hurriedly wanted to pull, but He Rongzhi was like a fish, sliding away.

He Bing saw that the children were playing happily and were in a good mood, and pressed his wife who wanted to chase his youngest son on the chair, "It's good that the children are happy, it's okay, Lan Zhi is watching." ”

The old man has spoken, and no matter how anxious the Lu family is, he can only watch dryly.

When He Liucomb passed by He Xinmu, he called by the way, "Third sister, let's go together." ”

It's the fifth sister.

It was rare for someone to notice her, He Xinmu was flattered, embarrassed to refuse, and really a little curious, so he took Xiaoluo to the courtyard together.

There was a thick firecracker in the center of the courtyard, He Lanzhi took the fire fold given by the little servant, and cautiously approached the lead.

The ladies of He Mansion were more and more excited, but they stood farther than the other, covering their ears and staring closely at the center of the courtyard. He Rongzhi also learned from his sisters, with his cute two little hands on his ears, looking left and right.

Seeing He Xinmu want to laugh, every time he sees Eizhi's cute movements, he thinks of Wei Zishu, I don't know how he is now, I don't know if everyone there is okay, will he remember himself, remember that there was a little mute who lived with them......

Lu fidgeted in the house, but he was still relieved, and came out of the house to stare at it.

With a "stab", the fuse ignited, and the courtyard lit up.

The sparks scattered in all directions, flew into the sky, and exploded in the sky with a bang.

The crowd cheered.

He Rongzhi's eyes sparkled and shouted: "It's good-looking, brother put another one!" ”

He Lanzhi, who only had a roar in his ears, didn't hear it clearly, and shouted at his younger brother: "What did you say?" ”

Lu hugged Eizhi and said to his eldest son: "It's nothing, come back to the house quickly, it's cold." ”

After watching the fireworks, everyone who learned about Suo Suo went back to the house, and the little maid and aunt began to make vegetables.

Although they are in the south, the He family is from the north, and they want to eat dumplings during the New Year.

They each sat in their seats, and after a while, the dumplings were on the table, He Xinmu stood up and was about to go to the table, but Xiao Luo snatched the dishes and chopsticks.

"Miss is really hungry, these slaves can do it." Filled a few dumplings and put them in front of her.

Only then did He Xinmu notice that the sisters were all served by maids, and the lady and master were waiting for their aunts.

I know that I have broken the rules again.

Sticking out her tongue, she has always grown up in the south, but it is the first time she has seen dumplings, and she can't help but be curious.

After the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner and He Lele's meal, everyone went back to the small courtyard after the New Year's Eve together, but He Xinmu's eyelids began to beat wildly.
