"Who?" With Ji Cailan's voice coming, the door was quickly opened.

Seeing that it was Xin Yu, Ji Cailan was surprised and delighted: "Sister Kou, why are you here?" Come on in. ”

Xin Yu stood at the door and didn't move, and took out the jade pendant: "I found this in the hospitality room of the bookstore, thinking that it was either Sister Ji or Sister Zhou." That day, Sister Ji said that your family lives in Mao'er Hutong in Jixiangfang, so I came over to ask, and I asked. ”

"Ah, this is my cousin's jade pendant." Ji Cailan recognized it at a glance, and was embarrassed, "I also bothered Sister Kou to send it over, I really caused you trouble." ”

"Sister Ji is polite. I'm idle, and I'm just out to breathe. To tell you the truth, when you and Sister Zhou didn't come to the bookstore, I was napping in the bookstore all the time, and I was disgusted by the guys. ”

Hearing Xin Yu say this, Ji Cailan suddenly relaxed, especially the sentence "idle is idle", which made her invitation blurt out: "If Sister Kou is fine, do you want to go with me to find my cousin?" ”

"Okay." Xin Yu smiled and nodded, her heart settled.

The Zhou family and the Ji family are only separated by two alleys, and Xin Yu looks like she has never been here: "Sister Ji and Sister Zhou's house are so close." ”

Ji Cailan said with a smile: "My cousin's house was still found by my mother, just thinking that the two families should be closer and convenient to come and go." ”

"Then you are cousins?"

"Yes, my mother is my uncle's sister. In the past, my uncle was in other places, and he only came to the capital at the beginning of the year. ”

"That's good, there are relatives to take care of each other, and the bustling and lively capital."

Hearing Xin Yu say this, Ji Cailan couldn't help but nodded: "Yes, what my cousin envied most in the past was that I could buy all kinds of good-looking notebooks in the capital." But the book is also expensive, and my mother always talks about me spending money indiscriminately. ”

For ordinary people, a few hundred literary flowers are a lot of pure pastime. But it can't be helped, paper, pen and ink are never cheap, plus labor, the cost of books is not low.

"I actually envy my cousin, my uncle is only one of her daughters, and my cousin's pocket money is much more than mine."

Seeing that the Zhou family was about to arrive, Xin Yu spoke quietly: "Uncle Ling must be very capable of settling down in the capital." ”

mentioned Zhou Ningyue's father, Ji Cailan looked envious: "Uncle is really powerful, not only was he promoted, but he was also promoted to Jinlin Weibei Town. ”

"Kitajin Fuji?" Xin Yu looked dazed, and thought of He Qingxiao in his heart.

Zhou Ningyue's father turned out to be under the jurisdiction of Lord He.

Seeing that Xin Yu didn't understand, Ji Cailan explained with a little pride: "Don't look at Jinlinwei, the difference is big, the most beautiful one here is Beizhen Fusi......"

For ordinary people, Jin Linwei wants to arrest and arrest officials, and they don't have time to care about their little people, and the famous Jin Linwei is far away from them. Because of this, ordinary people's impression of Jin Linwei is that it is majestic and majestic, not like the hundred officials and nobles.

Xin Yu nodded from time to time, being a perfect listener.

While speaking, Zhou Ningyue's house arrived. Unlike the Ji family, the Zhou family also has a gatekeeper, which can also be seen that the Zhou family is more prosperous than the Ji family.

There was no need to report, and the doorman let Ji Cailan and Xin Yu in.

Ji Cailan knew that her uncle was not at home at this time, so she took Xin Yu's hand and stepped on the steps, so she shouted, "Uncle, cousin, I'm here." ”

Soon the footsteps sounded, Zhou Ningyue walked out, and when she saw Xin Yu standing beside Ji Cailan, she was surprised: "Cousin, are you going to find Sister Kou again?" ”

Ji Cailan smiled: "It was Sister Kou who came to us specifically." Cousin, didn't you notice what you were missing? ”

"What's missing?" Zhou Ningyue subconsciously lowered her head, looked at it and exclaimed, "My jade pendant!" ”

Xin Yu handed the jade pendant over: "Sister Zhou, take a look at it, is it this piece?" ”

"It's this!" Zhou Ningyue took it, relieved and a little puzzled at the same time, "When it fell, I don't even know." ”

"I found it in the reception room."

"Thanks to Sister Kou." Zhou Ningyue took Xin Yu's hand and thanked her.

"Visitor?" A gentle female voice came.

Xin Yu looked over.

What came out of the curtain was a beautiful woman in her thirties, with a round face and almond eyes like Zhou Ningyue, and the mother and daughter were eight points alike, but it was difficult to hide her haggard look.

"Mother, it's my new friend, Sister Kou." Zhou Ningyue introduced in a brisk tone.

Xin Yu curtsied: "Good aunt." ”

The woman smiled kindly: "What a child of Zhong Lingyuxiu." Yue'er, Cailan, you entertain your friends well, and stay to eat together at noon. ”

It was the age when she liked to make friends, and Zhou Ningyue was happy when she heard it.

"Let's go to the West Wing." The woman smiled.

"Excuse me, auntie."

Xin Yu just said a kind word, and was taken by Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan to the West Wing.

The woman went back to the house and told the maidservant: "Cut a fruit bowl for the girls and send it, and then talk to Aunt Wang, and add two more dishes to lunch." ”

The maidservant took the order and left, and the woman leaned against the bedside and smiled, and her face became even more tired.

The west wing room is completely the layout of the boudoir girl, and Zhou Ningyue, as the owner, talks more than when she was in the bookstore.

The three of them were eating fruits, talking and laughing, and soon it was noon, Xin Yu politely wanted to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Ningyue.

"My mother must have confessed to the kitchen, if Sister Kou doesn't eat it, won't it be wasted."

While he was talking, the maidservant came in with her food.

"Girl, Mrs. asked you to greet Miss Haokou, and she will not be with you, so as not to be restrained."

There were no elders present, and lunch was spent in a relaxed atmosphere, and Xin Yu obviously felt that Izuki and Tuesday were closer to her.

Sure enough, eating, drinking, and chatting is a powerful tool to get closer to each other.

She said goodbye again, and Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan accompanied her to see Zhou's mother.

"Why don't you play a little longer?" Zhou's mother asked gently.

"There are still some things at home, so I'll visit my aunt another day."

Zhou's mother was very kind: "Yue'er has been bored at home, and it is rare to make friends who can get along, Miss Kou must come often." ”

"Aunt doesn't bother, I'll come often." Xin Yu responded generously, and his eyes flashed.

The picture came suddenly.

Under the full moon, the wind blew the tree, and Zhou's mother knelt under the tree and burned paper money. A man pulled her up, angry and said something.

Zhou's mother pushed the man away excitedly, accidentally fell while pulling, and pressed one hand into the basin containing the burning paper money.

Before Xin Yu could see Zhou's mother's painful expression, the picture in front of her suddenly collapsed, and what caught her eye was Zhou's mother's beautiful face with a kind smile.

Xin Yu calmed down, and said goodbye to Zhou's mother without changing her face.

Zhou Ningyue sent Xin Yu and Ji Cailan out, and was very surprised to catch a glimpse of the people who came over: "Dad, why did you come back at this time?" ”

Xin Yu tilted his head and looked at Zhou's father who came over.
