"What is this place? Where is my mother? I want to see my mother. Who are you? I don't seem to know you. Xi Chen broke free of his wife's hand and stood up from the wooden chair.

"Do you want to hear that answer first?" the woman's face was close to Xi Chen, the tip of her nose almost touched the tip of Xi Chen's nose, and said to Xi Chen with a smile. The air is filled with the scent of roses, strong but not red-nosed. "As for you, you should call me Aunt Qin, as for this place, it is Xuanyue Villa. If you want to ask where your mother is, I really don't know. But I know that the person who brought you here may be her, but you should also call her aunt like me. Do you care about her so much, and you have taken care of her for ten years, and suddenly came to a strange environment, but there was no trace of her, you must be very anxious. Rest assured she's fine. I haven't eaten for so long, I'm hungry. Eat some snacks I'm telling you about her, well" At this time, four maids in aqua green robes walked in behind Siyu, holding trays in their hands, and on the trays were tea cups, fruit plates, snacks, and towels.

"Madam, on which table?" One of the maids asked.

"It's on the table on the left. The woman pointed to the round table on her left.

"Yes, ma'am," the maids put their plates on the table and stood in a row on the edge of the intersection.

"Go down. Siyu, you can go down too, and I'll talk to your young master. ”

"Yes, ma'am," the maids withdrew through the side door.

Mrs. pulled Xi Chen to the round table and pulled a chair for Xi Chen to sit down, and sat down opposite Xi Chen: "Have a snack first, and you have to wait for an hour for dinner." ”

Xi Chen didn't answer and sat there, only lowered his head, his eyes moist, although his stomach growled. "Why, I'm not hungry! The woman asked.

"No, I just want to know where my mother is, I'm not hungry, I won't eat if you don't tell me" Xi Chen lost his temper. Afterwards, he himself thought it was incredible.

"Okay, okay, she went to Ye Country because of some important things, so please let me take care of you, you should call her Aunt Ye or Auntie, she is not your mother, her name is Ye Yutong. Your real mother's name is Xie Bingyu, she, your Aunt Ye and I are sworn sisters, I am the eldest sister, your mother is the second sister, Yutong is the younger sister, Yutong and I grew up together since childhood, and later became sisters when we met your mother. Your mother and I have been married, and Yutong has never been married. ”

"You lie to me, she is my mother, she won't leave me, she won't" Xi Chen cried, although he also knew in his heart that what he said was true. But he still didn't want to admit that she wasn't his mother, and she left him. At the same time, he had a little disgust with his own mother, why he didn't want him since he was a child, and why didn't his father want him wherever he was.

"Xichen, you also know in your heart that she is not your mother, but you don't want to admit it, you have been with her for so long and have a deep relationship, and suddenly tell you that she is not your mother. In fact, if you think about it, is the identity of your mother really so important, whether she is your mother or your Aunt Ye, she loves you very much and cares about you, right. Whether it's your mother, me or Yutong, we love you very much. Ten years ago, because of some things, Yutong took you to that village and stayed for ten years. Grab a snack. ”

Xi Chen's stomach was indeed relatively hungry, and his mouth was relatively dry, so he took a sip of the teacup, picked up the snack and ate it.

Aunt Qin saw that Xi Chen was eating, so she handed over the towel handkerchief. It was a cacophony of noises coming from outside.

"Mother, where is Brother Chen?" A girl wearing a shallow water blue dress walked in outside the main entrance, her hair was evenly parted on both sides, and a silk bundle of water blue flowers was tied into a ring, so that it was symmetrical and self-sagging, hanging on both sides, shaking slightly like rain, and the fine silk material moved slightly with the action, like the first bloom of the light plum, not luxurious but quiet. The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, clear and beautiful, there is a natural freshness to carve, especially the charm of the lips between the eyebrows, elegant and gentle, the view is cordial, the big eyes of the water are inlaid on the goose-egg-like face, laughing, the corners of the mouth are intoxicating dimples, quiet and lively, the eyes keep looking at the hall left and right, about ** years old.

"Madam, we can't stop Miss. At this time, four or five twelve or thirteen-year-old maids came in, dressed in green, with their hair combed in a double bun. said to Aunt Qin in a panic.

"Go down, I know you can't stop it" Aunt Qin waved her hand at a few maids, and then pointed her finger at the girl's forehead: "You, you! are always so naughty." A day up and down. There's no quiet time either. Although his mouth was full of reproach, his eyes were full of love. Then he said to Xi Chen: "Don't pay attention to her, she's always like this." She is my daughter, her name is Gu Weiyu."

The little girl ignored his mother and stepped forward directly, grabbed Xi Chen's hand, pulled him up from the chair, and walked out: "Brother Chen, let's go, I'll take you to visit." ”

"Your brother Chen's stomach is still hungry. Aunt Qin called from behind. Gu Weiyu pulled Xi Chen out of the door and looked at the two maids standing at the door: "You two go to the bar and bring the snacks on the table and follow behind." ”

"Hey, this girl, you two Miss Jiu'an said to do it. Watching the young lady arrive at the meal, remember to ask them to come back for dinner. Aunt Qin looked at the two maids standing in the hall.

"Yes, ma'am," the two maids quickly picked up the snacks on the table and turned around and followed.

"This is the garden. Gu Weiyu pulled Xi Chen with one hand and pointed to the front and said, coming out of the main gate and entering the eye is a garden, the garden is divided into four by the crisscrossing bluestone road, and a pavilion is built at the intersection in the middle, the pavilion is supported by eight stone pillars in eight corners, and there are two steps on each of the eight sides. In the center of the pavilion is a round stone table, around which are four stone benches. Four small gardens are enclosed by carved stone fences, and a stone forest stands in the center. All kinds of flowers and plants are distributed around it in an orderly manner, and it looks orderly. Passing through the garden is a long verandah, flanked on either side by neat wings, separated by a wide open space that is paved with stone slabs and is spotless. "Those are the wings where the maids live. He said, pointing to the wings. At the end of the verandah was a vermilion gate, flanked by four young girls dressed in white and holding swords. Walking out of the gate, down forty or fifty steps, a road stretched across the road in front of you with a row of ginkgo trees planted on both sides, followed by a wide square with four courtyards on both sides of the square. Gu Weiyu introduced as she walked and said that this square is used to practice martial arts, as for the four courtyards on the left are called Zhuyuan and Meiyuan, and the ones on the right are called Juyuan and Lanyuan, the four courtyards are not lived in now, she will live in Meiyuan in the future, and what they just came out of is the main courtyard, called Qinyuan, which is where her mother lives, but now she also lives in it. Xi Chen looked back, and sure enough, the word Qin Yuan was written on it. And the road that crosses leads to the east and west gates. There is also a garden in front of the square. It's just that the garden is bigger than the one in the Qin Garden, and there are many trees in it that she doesn't know about, and there are countless flowers and plants. In the center of the garden is a fountain. Beyond the garden is the gate of the Guqin Pavilion. Xi Chen followed her to visit each courtyard. The layout of the annex is similar to that of the Qin Garden, which is a little smaller, and the garden is mainly planted with bamboo, chrysanthemum, plum, and orchid as the name suggests, supplemented by other plants, each with its own characteristics. After visiting the four courtyards, the two little maids behind them urged them to go back to dinner. Gu Weiyu looked at the two little maids impatiently and said, "If I want to go back to you, I will take Brother Chen to visit other places." I haven't been to any fun places yet. ”

"Brother Chen, let me tell you, the backyard is fun, there are a lot of small animals in it. I like the little white in it the most. There was also a room full of shelves of books, and another room full of all kinds of weapons and harps. However, there were several sisters guarding these two rooms, and no one was allowed to enter. I told my mother several times that he wouldn't let anyone in. Gu Weiyu's entire body was almost hanging on Yu Chen's body. Pull him back.

"Miss, childe, Madame told you to go back to dinner. Siyu stood far away in the square, looking at Wei Yu and Xi Chen and shouted.

"Hmph, Siyu is here, I definitely can't go anywhere else today. Let's go back. Brother Chen, I'll take you to the backyard tomorrow. Xi Chen actually really wanted to go back, on the one hand, he was already hungry, and on the other hand, he had a lot of things to know urgently. It's just that I'm sorry to disturb Wei Yu's interest. He had just eaten a piece of dim sum when he pulled him out, and he didn't eat it later because Wei Yu had been hanging on him. The two maids followed them with two plates.
