"Madam, all the people of Lanshui Pavilion have been called to Qinglanxuan." A mother-in-law hurriedly came in to report.

"What?" Qian was stunned.

"Madam, the old slave took someone to tidy up the Lanshui Pavilion, and Qingyue next to the third girl came over, saying that it was the meaning of the Hou Ye, let me go and tidy up Qinglanxuan first, the eldest girl came back and had no place to live, so she temporarily lived in the third girl's place." The mother-in-law complained angrily, "The old slave stepped forward to reason with the third girl, but the third girl said that it was the intention of Mrs. and Master Hou to sort out the eldest girl first." ”

The mother-in-law obviously thought it was impossible, but she had to admit it at that time, and when everyone else went to Qinglanxuan, she hurriedly came over to report to the Qian family.

"Presumptuous!" Qian was furious, his eyebrows raised and he stood up, "I'll go and see." ”

"Ma'am, wait!" Mama Xi opened her mouth to stop and reminded, "Madam, you must indeed agree to this matter. ”

"When did I agree?" Qian's eyes also pricked up.

"Madam, do you think about it when you were in the study, did you talk to Master Hou about the eldest girl, did you also mean that the eldest girl's affairs would be taken to heart?" Although Mama Xi was later kicked out, but in that situation at that time, Master Hou was clearly angry, and when it came to the eldest girl, Mrs. must have given in.

These words reminded the Qian family, sat down slowly, and gritted his teeth: "An orphan girl, can she really think of herself as the daughter of the Hou Mansion?" ”

"You go down and tidy up Qinglanxuan first." Mama Xi looked at the mother-in-law who reported the news.

The mother-in-law looked at Mama Xi, and then at the Qian family, who didn't say a word, so she could only retreat.

"Madam, something happened in the nunnery, Hou Ye should have noticed something, and you should be better to the eldest girl at this time, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain to Hou Ye." Seeing her mother-in-law leaving, Mama Xi persuaded, then looked out the window again, lowered her voice and said, "Madam, the better you are to the eldest girl now, the more it shows that you are selfless, and when something happens to the third girl, Master Hou will not blame you." ”

"You mean...... Do you want to tidy up Qinglanxuan? Qian understood.

"Yes, Madame not only has to tidy up Qinglanxuan for the eldest girl, but also tidy it up well, and spend all her efforts on the eldest girl." Mama Xi lowered her voice and said.

"Lanshui Pavilion won't be arranged?" Qian didn't nod directly, and said with a calm face.

"How can it not matter, just don't manage it directly, it's also a good thing that Madame's focus is all on the eldest girl, the eldest girl must have almost had an accident, Madame feels guilty, and is willing to take care of the eldest girl a little more, and it is human nature to make up for her own negligence."

Mama Xi continued.

The Qian family snorted disdainfully, what kind of thing is Yu Zhuqing, does he need to deal with it so much!

"Cousin's place, in fact, the preparations are almost there, now it's just a later arrangement, Madame can send a few people over, just fewer people, don't have to make a big deal like before." Mama Xi continued to give advice.

Seeing that the Qian family was still silent, Mama Xi said again: "If the lady is really not at ease, why don't you let the old slave have an accident and help the cousin tidy up the yard?" ”

"No way!" Qian flatly refused, "Since I am not suitable, you are not suitable." ”

The meaning of maintenance is obvious.

These words moved Mama Xi, and she wanted to show her loyalty more and more, and stretched out her hand to point in the direction of Lanyue Pavilion, her eyes were shining: "Madam, when the time comes, it will be upside down, and it can't be blamed on Madame, it is the courtyard of the third girl, not something that others can interfere with casually, and Madame is busy with the affairs of the eldest girl." ”

Under the lamp, Yu Xijiao was tying paper people, not big paper people, it was easy to do, Yu Xijiao completed one, and once again trimmed some extra edges, then put down the scissors in his hand and carefully checked it.

"Girl, in the sacrificial shops in the capital, those paper figures are very rough, and at a glance, I know that in order to catch up with the schedule, they are made casually, which is not good compared to the paper figures we saw in the sacrificial shops in Jiangnan." Mama Xu said in disgust, and helped fold the paper neatly in her hand.

Qingyue came in through the door with a curtain.

"Girl, the slave seems to have seen a figure." After Qingyue came in, she went to process part of the trimmed paper.

"Who is it?" Mama Xu stopped her hand and asked in surprise, "It's too late this time, you should all be asleep, right?" ”

"The slave didn't find out who it was, it seemed to have heard some movement before, and there was no movement after asking, and I didn't see a figure anymore when I looked for it, maybe the slave and maid saw it wrong." Qingyue rubbed her eyes and looked at the sky outside again, "Girl, it's getting late, you can rest." ”

Yu Xijiao looked out the window and put down the scissors: "Then rest!" ”

Mama Xu cleaned up the lines and notes in the house, Qingyue served Yu Xijiao to rest, Yu Xijiao was not sleepy, and asked Qingyue to leave her a lamp.

When Mama Xu and Qingyue both retreated, Yu Xijiao leaned on the bed, her long eyelashes slightly covered her eyes, but she was thinking in her heart.

Today, during the day, I asked the Qian family to help the eldest sister clean up Qinglanxuan, and then there was no follow-up, and the Qian family didn't come to say anything, and even the people who came later, there were only a few, and they didn't seem to care about themselves at all.

Will the Qian family not care?

Naturally, it is impossible, that is, the Qian family pushed the boat down the river, and Yu Xijiao still can't guess what medicine is bought in the Qian family's gourd.

has something to do with Qian Lizhen, and I feel that I don't just take advantage of Qian Lizhen's arrogance, so how will I deal with myself?

The hand was subconsciously stretched out, but when it touched a warm place, he suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the person sitting on the chair next to the bed in front of him in amazement.

When I looked up, the window was wide open.

The hand that hit Feng Yu's wrist seemed to be burned, and he suddenly took it back.

"This paper figure is well-tied, it looks like it's not the usual practice, and there are two ribbons hanging on it?" Feng Yu lazily played with the paper figure in his hand, and said without raising his head.

"This is the practice in the Jiangnan area, which may be the same as the ...... in the capital Something different. Yu Xijiao's fingers shrunk to the bottom of the quilt, and she replied with a straight face.

"The production method in the Jiangnan area, still painting so many symbols on it? What does this mean? Feng Yu pulled the ribbon on it, worked hard under his hand, and then said with fake regret, "It's really not tight, this ribbon has fallen off." ”

casually picked up a ribbon on the paper man and raised it in front of Yu Xijiao.

Yu Xijiao gritted her teeth secretly, this prince of Qi was really lazy, Fang Cai's shame turned into annoyance, raised her Yingying watery eyes, and glared at Feng Yu.

"Shizi, it was originally very well pasted, but you work so hard, it's useless to stick it sturdy."

"Do you have any of these ribbons here? This kind of ribbon is really useless, and it will fall off after a slight pull, and when it is really used, it will fall off, but it will be ugly. Feng Yu didn't seem to know that Yu Xijiao was annoyed, and shook the ribbon in his hand regretfully, and said lazily, "The ghost drawing talisman on this is really useful?" ”

"This is not a ghost drawing, this is a Buddhist language." Yu Xijiao said.

"Buddha language? Which Buddhist language? What kind of Buddha language is this, it can't be said that it is the root of trouble, and what Uncle Huang believes in is not what Buddha language. Feng Yu threw the ribbon on Yu Xijiao's body in disgust, watched Yu Xijiao subconsciously hide back, and suddenly chuckled, "Whose handkerchief is this, the material is good!" ”

casually picked up a handkerchief on the table, and wiped his white jade-like fingers as he skept.

Yu Xijiao's eyebrows jumped fiercely, this demon was holding her handkerchief in his hand, which had been placed under the pillow before, and he didn't know when it arrived on the table, and now it was in his hand.

"Shizi, that's my veil." Yu Xijiao heard her own voice almost squeezing out from between her teeth.

"Miss Yu said that it was your handkerchief, should you call it and take a look?" Feng Yu chuckled, and pointed to the ribbon in front of Yu Xijiao, "Third Miss Yu called this again to see if she would agree." ”

This is extremely scoundrel, and even has the intention of deliberately provoking others.

Yu Xijiao strangely calmed the anger on her face, reached out and took down the ribbon placed in front of her, looked at it carefully, and frowned slightly: "This ...... Will it be misleading? ”

Something suddenly slipped through her mind, and she couldn't get angry for a while, which she ignored, and it would indeed cause trouble.

Feng Yu leaned back, feeling interesting about her reaction, his eyes almost fell on Yu Xijiao's body, which sounded very good but with a little light coldness: "This...... In fact, there are exceptions. ”

Yu Xijiao lowered her eyes and sighed lightly: "I am naturally not one of the exceptions. ”

"It's a sincere one." Feng Yu's smiling eyebrows were fragrant, his handsome eyes were curved, and he no longer had that substantial cold pressure.

"Since you can't use it, give it to me!" Stretched out his hand and pulled the ribbon from Yu Xijiao's hand.

"The Prince...... Why? Yu Xijiao raised her head, looked directly at the beautiful face, and asked suspiciously.

"Take a walk around the neighborhood." Feng Yu said disapprovingly, and picked up the two paper figures placed on the side together, "Good job." ”

"Shizi, this is mine." Yu Xijiao said.

Feng Yu stopped and looked at her, and suddenly chuckled meaningfully: "It's so good, how can it be ruined like this, it's a pity!" ”

Yu Xijiao opened her mouth and was about to speak, but saw that the prince of Qi was already carrying the paper figure, turned around and jumped out of the window.

Hearing that there was no movement outside, Yu Xijiao got up from the bed, walked to the window, listened softly, there was no movement outside, and then closed the door with her backhand.

After standing in the middle of the room for a while, she suddenly lifted the lamp and walked to the outhouse, where there was an unfinished paper figure, which she originally made two pairs.

Two pairs of paper figures, this is a common ritual in the south of the Yangtze River.

The light fell on the paper man in the corner, and the paper figure was not terrible, and it could even be said that it looked more beautiful than the ordinary paper figure, but even if it was beautiful, under such a light, it looked like a cold and bleak feeling, especially a ribbon casually put on the neck of the paper man.

Yu Xijiao's heart tightened, and she felt cold all over her body, she knew......
