At dawn the next day, Mr. Kwan woke up.

Since last night, Ayu and Yu Qi have been guarding together, and the subordinates of Accord have all gone back to their rooms to rest.

At the time of the rooster's crow, Mr. Guan woke up once, and before several people had time to greet him, he fell into a deep sleep in a daze, and Ayu guessed in his heart, or Mr. was thirsty, so he poured water by himself, put some medicine in the water, and fed it with a spoonful of spoons. Fortunately, the sky was faintly bright, and the gentleman really had a sense of knowledge, and opened his misty eyes to look at everyone, but could not speak.

Ah Yu was overjoyed, and Yu Qi and Zisu were also pleasantly surprised.

Mr. Kwan struggled, either to get up or to speak. Ayu knew that his body was not supportive, so he comforted him in every possible way and motioned him to lie down. But when Mr. Ke woke up, he was trembling. Yu Qi remembered the soup woman who was stuffed the night before, and was anxious to find it in the quilt, but he really found it, and the soup woman's water still had residual warmth.

Yu Qi said: "Call them up to boil boiling water and change them." After she finished speaking, she fell to the center of the house, gathered her skirt and squatted on the edge of the charcoal cage to add fire.

Zisu responded at that time and went out with the soup woman. After a while, I heard the sound of a few people walking outside. Zisu walked in and said softly, "They're burning." Squatting on the edge of Yu Qi, leaning over to blow the wind to the charcoal cage.

Zisu was afraid that the soot would choke on Yu Qi, so he said, "Girl, sit up, the kang is warmer." ”

Yu Qi said: "It's okay. He turned his head and persuaded Ayu: "Sister Yu, you haven't closed your eyes all night, why don't you rest for a while!" Sir wake up, you should be at ease, we are here! ”

Ayu shook her head with a smile, and pressed her hand on the quilt against Mr. Guan's chest.

A little, Ayu said: "Hard girl." The girl's body is not fully safe, so let's rest! ”

Yu Qi blew the fire up, inhaled a little cigarette, and coughed. Although Mr. Guan's body couldn't move on the kang, his hand moved out of the quilt and moved his fingers to Yu Qi, which roughly meant as Ayu said, wanting them to rest, and thanking them.

Ayu leaned down, took his hand, put it back in the quilt, and said, "I'll just tell the girl." Why do you bother with all your might? ”

Yu Qi and Zisu looked over because of this, and saw Ayu putting Mr. Guan's hand back.

Seeing this affection, Yu Qi and Zisu couldn't help but blush a little embarrassed, and pretended to turn their eyebrows and look away.

I only heard Ayu say again: "You don't have to speak, if the pain is so uncomfortable, you blink your eyes twice, and I will give you some medicine." If it's still cold, close your eyes and tell me, and I'll move the fire closer. ”

Hearing this, Yu Qi got up and said, "The smoke is a bit big." If the gentleman is cold, it is better to add another bed quilt. He lowered his hand and patted Zisu and said, "Let's go out to see if the water is good, the warmth of hot water is faster than covering the quilt." ”

When Yu Qi saw Ayu talking to Mr. Guan, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to be on his side; When he and Zisu walked out of the house, they vaguely heard Ayu and Mr. Guan say a few words of relief.

Mr. Guan held his breath and said, "What happened to the melon seeds?" After these words, there was no dialogue, only Ayu's low sobs.

Out the door.

Zisu exclaimed: "Did the girl hear Mr. speak?" ”

Yu Qi nodded and said, "Mr. is like this, and he still cares about the people around him." It was the entourage who came from Shu with him, I remember that Guazi went out with Mr. that day, and I wondered why I didn't see him when I came back last night. ”

Zisu's face sank, knowing that the future was not good, so he didn't say anything. The two walked to the lower room and saw that several girls who were arranged to serve in the Accord were busy burning fire and water, and were pouring water into the soup woman.

Yu Qi said to the elderly mother-in-law: "Mom, do you still have a quilt?" ”

The mother-in-law said with a tired face: "Yes, yes, we built it ourselves." Worn-out ones. ”

Yu Qi was silent after listening, and wanted to ask if there was still a master's house? The mother-in-law replied that it was obviously not. When they packed the soup woman, Yu Qi took it herself, so she didn't need them to send it. And he commanded him to boil some porridge and eat.

But the mother-in-law replied: "The daily meals are provided in Xifu, let the jade girl go over a few times, the jade girl is afraid of disturbing the wife and the master, so she will not go." My wife sends someone to bring breakfast and dinner every day. There is no food stove here, and it is convenient to boil water and make tea. ”

Yu Qi nodded, sighed and looked at Zisu.

The two of them were about to turn back to the house with the soup woman, and they saw a few people walking outside the courtyard, muttering and whispering as they walked.

Zisu reminded Yu Qi: "Girl, the second master, the third master, and the fifth girl are here." ”

It seems, sure enough, it was the three of them brother and sister, and they didn't bring anyone with them.

Zhuang Jue saw Yu Qi standing by the door, so he walked up quickly and whispered, "What's going on inside?" Why did my sister come out? Is my sister cold? ”

Yu Qi handed the soup woman to Zisu and asked Zisu to take it in. Then he said to Zhuang Jue: "Mr. is awake." ”

When Zhuang Jue heard this, he smiled, turned his head sharply and said to Zhuang Pu: "Brother, sister said that Mr. is awake." ”

The voice was slightly louder, and Yu Qi hurriedly grabbed Zhuang Yu and signaled to whisper. Zhuang Pu's face was expressionless, he walked up straight, and he didn't talk to Yu Qi, he lifted the curtain and went in.

Zhuang Yu looked tired, his red and swollen eyes slightly lowered his eyes to Yu Qi, and his body was a little shorter. Yu Qi returned the salute.

Zhuang Yu followed and also entered.

Zhuang Jue grabbed Yu Li: "Go in, sister." ”

Yu Qi said: "Since you are here, I will go back first in a while." The jade girl didn't sleep all night, and you took turns to keep her up. It's strange that it's cold in this room, and it would be better if I could add a thick quilt to the bed. Seeing that Zhuang Jue couldn't wait to go in, Yu Qi grabbed him again: "Sir, I'm afraid I haven't eaten any food." It is said that the body is the foundation, and the spleen and stomach must be nourished to recuperate. Let someone bring something to eat. ”

After Zhuang Jue heard this, he stared at Yu Qi in a daze. Yu Qi was embarrassed to be looked at, and said with a red face: "I can't turn on the fire on that head, otherwise I will cook it." ”

This sentence didn't have much emotion, just wanted to dissolve Zhuang Yu's burning eyes. After saying it, I felt sour inexplicably, after all, this is not my home, I have always sent people to live under the fence, and I can't even cook a sip of tea and a mouthful of food, and I can't eat it only if someone else brings it.

Yu Qi suddenly lost his mind, and his eyes turned red.

Zhuang Jue hurriedly said: "Sister don't worry. ”

Yu Qi lost his temper, turned around to wipe his eyes, turned his face again, and said with a smile: "You go in!" Remember what I just said. Arrange it early, so that Mr. and Miss Yu can relax their hearts. ”

Zhuang Jue was deeply moved, nodded vigorously, and went in. Yu Qi regrouped his expression and emotions, and then followed.

When I got inside, I saw Zisu, Zhuang Pu, and Zhuang Yu pushing the charcoal cage on the ground, and let them get closer to the edge of the kang, and Zhuang Yu also went to help. When Yu Qi came in, the charcoal cage had already been moved.

Zhuang Pu slapped off the dirty dust in his hands, moved to the side of the kang, and leaned over to Mr. Guan: "Brother Guan is better?" ”

Mr. Guan stiffened, and Zhuang Pu and the others all leaned over and signaled that he didn't need to exert force. Zhuang Pu said: "We sent someone to invite the old medical officer of the palace to come, and we will be there in a while." You bear with me. ”

When Yu Qi heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, gently pulled the sub, and motioned to go back. Zi Su knew it, and raised his hand to hold her.

Ayu saw Yu Qi and the two go out, and quickly got up and chased after them.

When she arrived outside the curtain, Ayu saluted Yu Qi: "More girls." ”

Yu Qi helped Ayu: "Sister go back!" It's cold outside. ”

Ayu nodded and turned to go in. Yu Qi suddenly remembered the words promised Ayu the night before, and stopped again: "Jade girl." What I promised you last night, I'll bring it as soon as possible. ”

Ayu smiled gratefully and went in.

Get out of the Accord, on the way.

Zisu leaned on Yu Li's side and said, "The jade girl doesn't believe you. ”

Yu Qi said: "Do you think I'm too excited? But in such a scene, if I don't say that, how can I appease Miss Deyu? Dig people's hearts and take lantern worms, the latter is the most practical and easy to obtain, so it's a matter of effort! It's better to eliminate sin than to create it, isn't it? ”

Zi Su said: "Do you really plan to enter the secret passage again?" ”

Yu Qi sighed.

Zisu said worriedly: "Last time you went in and encountered danger, you were lucky to escape, this time you go in again, if you run into something, how can you get it?" Besides, Miss Jade herself said that even if there was that thing, no one would want to change it after all. ”

Yu Qi said: "Who told me to promise someone." ”

Zisu lamented: "If your heart is hard enough, there won't be so much trouble." ”

Yu Qi smiled knowingly, and remembered the words of Bojing Laoni: "If the heart is not hard, it will not be successful, and people are ruthless and solid." "My own foundation is to settle down in this house, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, the jade girl said that the cart is upside down, and now her behavior is the cart before the horse.

As he was walking, Zhuang Di's voice came from behind him. Yu Qi and Zisu looked back and saw Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Yu walking with umbrellas.

When he arrived, Zhuang Jue handed the umbrella to Yu Qi and said, "My sister forgot to take the umbrella." ”

Yes, I forgot to come out.

Yu Qi took the umbrella and was grateful.

Zhuang Yu said with a sad face: "Hurry up, I will go to the old lady to say goodbye in a while!" ”

Zhuang Jue nodded and hurriedly said, "It was just my sister who reminded me." Now my fifth sister and I are going back to get the quilt and food. Sister, you walk carefully, you have kept watch all night, and you should also rest and rest. ”

Yu Qi nodded in response, but said to Zisu: "Sister help the fifth sister!" She's really hard to do by herself. ”

Zisu was a little reluctant.

Zhuang Yu said: "That's right." I asked Shi'er to cover me, and Zi has always helped me better. After speaking, he grabbed Zisu and didn't see if she was willing or not.

parted ways on the corridor, Zisu went with the Zhuang Zhuang Zhuang brothers and sisters, and Yu Qi walked outside the gate of Xifu with an umbrella, tightened his cloak, and went back to Jinghua Xie.

Back outside the middle house, the door was opened, and several mothers-in-law took brooms to clear the snow. Because they saw the tightly covered Yu Qi, the mothers-in-law looked at it strangely.

Only then did Yu Qi show his face and greet him. The mother-in-law saluted respectfully, and this party entered the door smoothly.

Cross the courtyard of Zhongfu and turn to the gate of Jinghua Xie Courtyard. When he arrived at the door, Yu Qi took the umbrella and wanted to push the door in, because he heard Mei'er behind him instruct a few little girls to bring hot water, Yu Qi stood still a little, and glanced sideways.

Seeing Mei'er's emotion, she said: "When will it be brought here, just your nest cage is a good corpse!" You should be on duty for me to be like this, you are deliberately unable to get along with me! I'll tell you, it's not good to let your aunt and grandmother, you think about it one by one. Who doesn't want to sleep warmly, you have that life, and you don't have that blessing! ”

A girl with a sharp mouth replied: "Sister Da Chenzao scolded these people, who didn't get up early." It was cold, and the old lady was uneasy, so she said last night that she would get up later tonight, so that we would tell the ladies and girls that we would not have to say goodbye. Thou hast sustained us again. This is not supposed to be our job. ”

Mei'er said angrily: "If someone else assigns you, I can't assign it?" Dare to be kind, you give it to me, I will do it myself, you shouldn't have done it, you can be used as a young lady! The people who should do it have discussed it, and they have already hid far away! I don't know what Ann's heart is! ”

Mei'er snatched the girl's basin and took it away angrily, and the girl blushed and stomped her feet.

Yu Qi saw that Mei'er had gone, so she resumed her steps and pushed the door into the mirror. When he came in, he gently closed the door, lowered the fence, and walked towards the house.

When Yu Qi entered the inner hall and turned to the inner curtain, the parrot inside suddenly called: "Girl, morning!" Girl early! ”

Yu Qi was startled, and when he entered the house, he put the umbrella away, Sanxi rubbed his eyes in a daze, his hair was scattered, and he walked out with his shoulders hugged.

Sanxi's voice didn't wake up, and he said hoarsely: "The girl is back?" "I'm going to take off my cloak for Yu Qi.

Yu Qi said: "You don't need to take it off." Go and light the lantern, the big one. ”

Sanxi squinted his eyes and went in response, brought the lantern, looked out the window again, and said, "My day is dawn, is the girl's sky still dark?" ”

Yu Qi ignored her at first, hurriedly went to find a cloth bag, folded it and hid it on his body, and then approached the charcoal cage to roast the fire, and said to Sanxi: "My day is not dawn." It's dark! There's something important that you need to do, so you should wash your face and sober up, so I can talk to you. ”

Sanxi "oh" sentence and went.

After a while, Sanxi woke up and washed his face, buttoned his clothes and brushed his hair, and he couldn't see Zisu left and right, and asked strangely: "Where is Miss Su?" ”

Yu Qi said: "I asked Sister Su to stay in Xifu to help." Lifting the lantern from the side, Zhengse said to Sanxi: "I want to enter the secret passage." You are guarding the courtyard, and no one is allowed to let them in. ”

When Sanxi heard the secret passage, he trembled and said urgently: "Girl! ”

Yu Qi waved his hand and signaled calmness: "I know what you mean." I'll tell you later, now you have to do what I want. ”

Sanxi said: "Mrs. and the girls are coming to say hello to the old lady, if you don't come over later, you will send someone over there to ask." I can't help but let people in! ”

Yu Qi soothed: "What's the hurry." The old lady was uneasy last night, and said that she didn't need to say hello today. You are guarding the door, if you see the wives and girls entering Shouzhongju, and I haven't come out yet, you can feel a little bit over, and quietly talk to Sister Zhu'er, and say that I am not well, so I took the medicine given by Miss Yu and rested, and asked her to report to the old lady on her behalf. If the wives and girls do not enter the Shouzhong Residence, you don't have to go out, but stay in the courtyard and wait for me to come out. You wear a few more clothes yourself. ”

Sanxi was frightened: "But girl, where is ...... Inside...... It's dark and ......."

Yu Qi said resolutely: "I have made up my mind, I don't need to say more." ”

Sanxi grabbed Yu Qi: "In case something happens to you, how can I tell Miss Su?" How can I say to the old lady in heaven? How do you explain to Master Mian? ”

Yu Qi slowed down and let out a long breath.

Sanxi held on: "I won't give it to the girl!" ”

After a pause, Yu Qi said in a harmonious voice: "Mr. Guan is seriously ill, I want to go in and get medicine for him." If I don't go in, my husband will die. ”

Sanxi cried: "It's none of my business whether anyone dies, I don't want the girl to have an accident." Girl, you forgot, it's someone else who has affected you back, Hui Yuan didn't talk about you when he was there, and now Hui Yuan is climbing high branches to be a big grandmother, I ...... I won't say such decent words as Huiyuan to persuade the girl, but I can hold the girl. ”

She held on to it and refused to go.

Yu Qi was helpless and pushed her.

Sanxi fell to the ground.

When Yu Qi saw Sanxi fall to the ground, he cried and cried, and his heart softened.

Yu Qi finally said: "If others owe us, we will dig it back even if we don't give an inch, Mr. Guan and Miss Yu have been kind to me and saved my life." What we owe to others, even if we receive a drop of water, we should repay it with a spring! Besides, we've been there, not jackals, so there's no need to be afraid. ”

Sanxi crawled over and dragged Yu Li's legs, and Yu Qi was ruthless, kicked her away, and went out with the light.

Sanxi hurriedly got up from the ground, chased after him, and blocked Yu Qi in the wing room outside the secret passage.

Yu Qi said again: "I have grown up so big, and I have never done anything that violates my conscience. I promised Miss Jade that I would bring her medicine. If I don't go in, from now on you will let me live here with no conscience, and I will not be able to live in peace. If you're still close to me, get out of the way! ”

Sanxi wiped away his tears, let go of his hand, and then tried his best to snatch Yu Qi's lantern.

Sanxi said: "Then I'll go!" ”

Yu Qi grabbed Sanxi, slowly took back the lantern from her hand, and said, "You are guarding outside, I am at ease." ”

Sanxi's face burst into tears.

After Yu Qi finished speaking, he patted her face, gently wiped her tears, and went in.

Sanxi gritted his teeth and watched Yu Qi walk in, watching her turn on the secret passage switch and disappear into the underworld.

For the rest, Sanxi turned around and went out nervously, without adding clothes, standing alone on the inside of the courtyard gate, staring at the people outside through the crack in the door.

Sanxi shrank and prayed: Don't have an accident with the girl, come out quickly!

But in the secret passages—
