"This hairpin...... No? Yu Xijiao stretched out her finger and pointed to the white hosta on her head, which was pure white, and only a little golden hairpin tail was wrapped in the back part.

"It's better to replace this hairpin, today when I went to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion, we are not guests, we are here to help, and our clothes are more plain than others, didn't I give you a hairpin before, why don't you use it?" Qian looked at the white hosta on her head and said displeasedly.

Yu Xijiao looked at Qian's head, and sure enough, it was a wooden hairpin, similar to her yesterday, and Yu Yuxi's head was also like this.

"Where's your hairpin?" Qian asked.

"That hairpin accidentally broke and couldn't be used." Yu Xijiao said quietly, if the hairpin is used, it will inevitably mess up the hair, and it is also rude and unruly at the funeral.

Compared with his own, it is obvious that Qian and Yu Yuxi are much smoother, and they look different from their own shoddy work.

"Fortunately, I still have a few ready here, and Mama Xi has changed them for the third girl." Qian frowned and commanded.

Mama Qian stepped forward, took out a long ornament box from her cuffs, took out a wooden hairpin from it, and handed it to Yu Xijiao.

Mama Xu took it and looked at the hairpin, although the hairpin is wooden, it is very smooth, and it looks completely different from yesterday's, this hairpin can be inserted.

After taking two steps forward to pull out the white hosta for Yu Xijiao and putting it into the cuffs, he carefully inserted the wooden hairpin for Yu Xijiao.

The mourning hall has been set up, and only a few sporadic subordinates are present.

Knowing that someone from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion was coming, the Ning family hurriedly greeted her eldest daughter Yu Lanxue, and after the cousins saw the ceremony, they were naturally cordial and polite, and they also greeted the two girls who came with them.

After that, he led a few people from the Xuanping Marquis Mansion to worship first.

After waiting for the incense to worship, Ning cried and said to Qian: "When my sister comes, accompany me to meet the guests first, and the ladies from all the mansions will come over in a while, and there are not even many people in the mansion who support them." ”

"What about Mrs. Yu?" Qian asked.

Ning's eyes were red and swollen and lowered his head: "Mother is sad about Lan Xuan's matter, she cried and fainted a few times, and she will still lie on the bed, the doctor said, you have to recuperate, and then you can only be cheeky and trouble my sister." ”

"People can't be resurrected after death, the most important thing at the moment is the living, I hope Mrs. Yu can see some of them." Qian persuaded.

Although I said this, my mother was really sad about this threshold, and she was strong yesterday, and today she ...... I can't hold on today. Ning cried.

"Cousin's Day condolences." Qian sighed with emotion, "Our Hou Ye came early this morning to help you receive guests, and I can't write two Yu characters in one stroke, and our two mansions are indeed the brothers of our own family, even if there are five suits, this ancestor is also an ancestor, and the matter of Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion is the matter of Xuanping Marquis Mansion." ”

Qian's words are extremely beautiful.

Ning Shi said repeatedly: "Thank you Lord Hou for your righteousness, otherwise...... Otherwise, it will be a mess and make others laugh. ”

"What jokes are not jokes, but if you are in need, just say, our Hou Ye said that this matter is a matter of the Yu family, and he will definitely help."

Qian said, after speaking, he looked at Yu Yuxi and Yu Xijiao behind him, and hesitated, "How about the two of you?" ”

"Mother, I'm not feeling well and want to find a place to rest." Yu Yuxi glanced at the mourning hall with a faint expression, and said very sloppily.

Yu Xijiao looked at her mockingly, in the past, she looked like a sister in front of Lan Xuan County, but now she looks worse than a stranger, is she cold or vicious?

"Where's Jiao'er?" Qian looked at Yu Xijiao.

"My hand hurts, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help the vigil here." Yu Xijiao's injured hand moved slightly, and her willow eyebrows frowned, and it was obvious that it was in pain.

"It's not good for both of you to leave the mourning hall and leave Xue'er alone." Qian said displeasedly.

Yu Yuxi didn't speak, raised his eyes and looked at Qian, looking very supple.

Since they came to help, and they are the younger generations of the An family, Yu Xijiao and Yu Yuxi should actually be here for a while, helping the Marquis of Zhengyuan Mansion to cry and wipe their tears when the guests come, or burn some simple yellow paper and other sacrifices.

There is not a single junior in the big house of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion, and the only prince of the Marquis of Zhengyuan is still in Jiangnan and has not returned.

"Cousin, the two children are not in good health, so they don't need to be guarded here, in fact, the most important thing to guard is the son." Seeing that Qian was displeased, Ning hurriedly persuaded, and then sighed again, "It's just this kid ......"

At this point, I want to stop talking.

"What's the matter, is it possible that you won't come back?" Qian raised his eyebrows, and his voice raised a few points, "There is such a big thing, Shizi's biological mother and sister have passed away, and he will not come back?" Could it be that for him, the death of his biological mother and sister is not important? If you are sick, you can go back to the capital to recuperate slowly, and you don't have to stay in Jiangnan. ”

"Cousin, this matter ...... Forget it, I just hope that he can return to Beijing quickly and give their mother and daughter a ride, otherwise it will be really unfilial. ”

After Ning wanted to speak and stopped, he finally showed some words.

Yu Xijiao raised her eyes to look at Ning, a bloodthirsty chill under her long eyelashes, in the dream, even if her younger brother died so miserably, in the end, he was considered to only care about his own body, and was unwilling to go back to Beijing to handle the funeral of his biological mother and sister, and finally the emperor was angry, dismissed his younger brother as the son, and fell to the second room.

But in fact, my brother had been dead for a long time at that time.

The heart is like a sharp blade piercing, and his reputation is ruined, which was prepared for his younger brother in the second room, but now he has to return it to them......

"The prince of Zhengyuan...... I'm really ignorant! Qian sighed, "When he was young, he ......"

"Madam, can my second sister and I go to rest?" Yu Xijiao opened her mouth coldly, unceremoniously interrupted Qian's emotional words, and directly put on a face.

Qian glared at Yu Xijiao angrily, his face sank, but he had to respond: "You all go and rest." ”

"Cousin, I'll send someone to take them to rest." Ning glanced at Yu Xijiao coldly, and didn't dare to make trouble, so he ordered the two maids to come over and lead the two of them away, and Yu Lanxue took care of them on the side of the mourning hall.

The guest room is the same as yesterday's, but yesterday's room was for the guests who came to congratulate yesterday, and today's room is for the guests who came to pay the festival today.

The same group of guests, the same place, but two different things, is really ironic.

The Marquis of Zhengyuan's Mansion arranged two rooms for them, just nearby, Yu Xijiao was the innermost, and Yu Yuxi leaned next to her.

The two of them had nothing to say, and each went into his own room to rest.

Before I sat down, I heard movement outside, Qingyue went to the door to look and came in to report: "Girl, the second girl thinks that there is still a red ribbon in that room that has not been cleaned up, so she wants to change to another room." ”

"Where?" Yu Xijiao asked.

"The slave doesn't know, it looks far away, it should be quite far away from the girl." Qingyue said, she only saw the back of the second girl, and went to the front.

There are a total of three entrances in this guest house, Yu Xijiao and Yu Yuxi came the earliest, and the arrangement is the innermost two, and now there is only one Yu Xijiao around, and Yu Yuxi should have gone to the front two entrances.

This gave Yu Xijiao a chance.

"Mama Xu, change my clothes." Yu Xijiao immediately said, no matter what the reason for Yu Yuxi's departure, at least for the time being, he will not move himself here, it will be too early, and it is impossible to start anything now, but this is a good opportunity for him to leave.

The clothes were prepared early, and Mama Xu and Qingyue changed Yu Xijiao's clothes together, and their hair was recombed and combed into an ordinary girl's appearance.

"Girl, from here to the front, you have to pass through the two courtyards, will the second girl find out?" After dressing up, looking at Yu Xijiao's forehead and hair covering her eyebrows and eyes, Mama Xu was still very uneasy.

"Let's go through the back door." Yu Xijiao said, there is a back door here in the guest house, and the back door happens to be behind the last entry, which means that if you go out from her, you won't meet a person.

"Girl, the slave and maid will go out with you." Qingyue said worriedly.

Yu Xijiao shook her hand: "You don't have to follow me, just do what we said before, you are here, if someone comes, just say that I am resting, it is not appropriate to disturb, Mama Xu will send me over, and then pick me up over there, I will be back soon." ”

She had a feeling that this time there must be results.

Leaving Qingyue in the house, Yu Xijiao and Mama Xu left through the back door together, and found a very remote path to the outer courtyard.

The coachman heard that Mama Xu said that the third girl sent Yahuan to buy preserved fruits, and let Yu Xijiao, the maid, get into the carriage, turn the horse's head and go to the Zhengyuan Marquis Mansion.

The coachman didn't dare to snub the third girl.

The carriage went out from the side gate of the Marquis of Zhengyuan's mansion, followed the direction guided by Yu Xijiao, and after turning a few streets, it stopped in an alley, Yu Xijiao got down from the carriage and told the carriage to stop here, and he had to cross the alley in front of him and go to the opposite street to buy preserved fruits.

Although the coachman didn't understand why he didn't just go over, he was still willing to let him rest for a while, and since he didn't need himself, he was happy to rest here for a while.

After setting up the coachman, Yu Xijiao entered the previous alley.

There are several courtyards in the alley, and the door is facing one household after another, Yu Xijiao suppressed the excitement in her heart, and stretched out her hand to try the door one by one.

If it is really the person you guessed, it is impossible to live in a certain courtyard, and it is more likely to live in a miscellaneous courtyard, only this kind of place is not easy for people to find.

If it is a large courtyard, it must have been opened at this time, there are many people living in it, and the time of entry and exit is different, basically the door will be opened at dawn.

The doors in front of the house are closed, only the innermost door is actually hidden, Yu Xijiao calmed down the excitement in her heart, pushed open the door and looked, it was really a miscellaneous courtyard.

It would be early, hearing someone push the door in, a middle-aged woman who was washing clothes stood up and looked at Yu Xijiao a few times and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
