The corpse was very young, and even if the face was pale, it could still be seen that it was beautiful before death. The clothes were crumpled and didn't fit well, and they were slightly overweight and crooked, not to be pulled neatly. If you look closely, it is obviously a young woman, the skin on her hands is not rough, but the skirt is the color of an old woman, and it is still the kind of coarse cloth clothes of ordinary working mothers-in-law.

It doesn't make sense.

Jia Xuan thought to himself, seeing the two of them muttering and going out, obviously unwilling to stay with the corpse for long. She looked for an opportunity and slipped out.

Back in the small dilapidated room that leaked everywhere, Jia Xuan lay on the cold and damp bed without care, secretly admonished the insects, punished them to blow a cold wind on the roof for a night, and she slept peacefully.

No dreams until dawn.

Early in the morning, the door creaked open. Yesterday, the good-natured mother-in-law walked in, carrying a food box, and whispered: "I told her not to be disrespectful to the girl, but she didn't listen." This is not not a colic in the abdomen, but also a fever and faint words. If you want me to say, my mind is too bad and it is easy to be retributed, so it is better to do things properly. ”

She talked to herself, looked over, and saw that the girl was looking at her blankly, still as stupid as when she first came back, she couldn't help feeling pity in her heart, raised her hand to wipe the sleep marks on the girl's face, and said with a smile: "When the cousin girl arrives home today, the kitchen has prepared a lot of good dishes." I grabbed a few pastries for you, including red date filling, red bean filling, and a bowl of porridge. Oh, by the way, there is also a meat-filled dumpling, my wife can't eat it and rewarded me, I brought it to you. ”

Knowing that the girl couldn't understand or understand, she still put things in order, and deliberately took out the meat dumplings first and put them on the small plate in front of the girl.

Jia Xuan ate a mouthful of dumplings. It's cold and greasy. If it was before, she would have lost it and wouldn't eat it. But now she raised her eyes and glanced at her mother-in-law, looking at the kind and expectant gaze, she swallowed the dumpling stiffly.

The mother-in-law was immediately overjoyed, and kept pushing the dishes with food in front of her: "If you eat more, you can grow taller and smarter!" ”

Jia Xuan couldn't help but sneer secretly. Talking to a fool about these things works? She talks a lot. Despite this, in the expectant gaze of her mother-in-law, Jia Xuan still ate those things compassionately, and only then did she stop her chopsticks and stare angrily until she held on.

The mother-in-law praised again: "The girl is smart, and she knows that she is full." Mei Zizi put the dishes back into the food box, and served the girl to change her clothes with clean hands.

is obviously a girl from the nobleman's mansion, but there are only three or two clothes that can cover the body. The mother-in-law picked and chose for a long time, but she couldn't make up a set to meet the guests, so she stomped her feet and rushed out, forgetting to even take the food box.

Jia Xuan lay down to rest, just stared at it for a while, the mother-in-law went and returned to bring a clean cotton skirt, put it on her, and said: "This is what the second girl wore when she was a child, and I asked the maid next to the second girl to ask for it, and it was just right for you to wear it." ”

Two girls? Jia Xuan remembered that it seemed to be called Jia Yingchun. I heard that it was her sister-in-law who had not been raised by her stepmother's side since she was a child, and Mrs. Xing. This woman was able to go around a bend to find Jia Yingchun to borrow clothes, but she had a heart.

Jia Xuan asked, "What's your name?" Who's around? ”

It was just two simple sentences, and the mother-in-law trembled with fright. After reacting, he was not surprised, but said with some fear: "My husband's surname is Guo, and he was originally a sweeping woman in the courtyard of the second grandfather, and the second grandmother sent me to serve you, saying that it is a reward for serving well." ”

"What does your man do?"

"Hurry, catch the car."

Jia Xuan bowed, raised her hand and asked Mrs. Guo to help her out of bed, turned around and felt that the clothes fit well, so she walked out with her hands more satisfied.

Mrs. Guo asked cautiously in the back: "Is the girl good?" ”

Jia Xuan deliberately said slowly: "I learned to speak with you, and I learned a little." ”

"I see." Mrs. Guo breathed a sigh of relief.

Jia Xuan shook his head secretly. They all said that she was stupid, and if she wanted to talk about it, she felt that the latter person was really stupid, and she believed it in just two sentences.

Along the way, Mrs. Guo couldn't help but reflect on what she had said in front of the girl that she shouldn't have said, in case the girl didn't understand stupidly, how could it be good. With her heart up and down, she accompanied the girl to the front and went to the upper room.

From afar, I saw that it was full of people. From afar, there was a sound of wanton laughter: "There is such a symbol of the character in the world, I have only seen it today!" ”

Mrs. Guo couldn't help but smile: "That's the second grandmother, the most refreshing person in this house." When the girl sees her later, she will salute her, and your aunt and sister-in-law will always be harmonious under the same roof in the future. ”

Jia Xuan didn't think so, but he didn't bother to make more plans with a real fool, just let her be happy, so he simply nodded slightly.

Mrs. Guo was overjoyed when she saw that the girl had become more clever and willing to listen to her advice. The girl in the dark road used to look stupid and stupid, and she must have been frozen and hungry in the place where she couldn't eat enough and didn't have enough clothes and no warmth. Now I am serving with good food and drink, and if I teach again, I will always get better.

Mrs. Guo happily stepped forward and opened the curtain to invite the girl into the house.

happened to meet the little maids who came over with tea fruits, and Mrs. Guo deliberately blocked those maids and let the girls go first.

I don't know if the earth dragon or the fire kang are burned in the house, and it is very warm. As soon as I entered, a heat wave mixed with the smell of many people hit me.

Jia Xuan was almost dizzy from the smoke, and he was busy settling his mind, and walked forward with an extremely well-behaved appearance.

The moment she stepped into the threshold, she suddenly changed her mind when she saw the disdainful eyes of everyone, and she collapsed her shoulders and hung her head, wilting. Seeing that there was an empty seat next to him, he sat down by himself.

There was a whisper, and all eyes were on her. She didn't care, she just sat comfortably.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Xing said, "This is the child you brought back?" "I heard that I was stupid, but now I see that it is true.

Mrs. Xing had seen this child before, knew that she was mentally incomplete, and had mentioned it to the ancestor before for this reason, and the ancestor was not very happy to bring a stupid child back, so she smiled and said, "It's her." ”

"I heard that the name was taken?"

"The name taken by the master, the original nickname was a word, and the family that adopted her since she was a child screamed. I don't think it's good, and the children at home are not in tune, so I changed the word 'Xuan'. The old man also agreed, saying that this word looks good. ”

This kind of naming method is not with the sisters, but with a few masters.

Jia Mu looked displeased. I always knew that the eldest son and daughter-in-law were unclear, but I didn't expect it to be so useless. She said, "I'll talk about this in a few days when I give her a name." ”

Wang Xifeng didn't like the sudden addition of a sister in the family, so he was happy to see such a confrontation, so he took the tea fruit and handed it to Lin Daiyu, just talking to Lin Daiyu in a low voice.

Mrs. Wang pinched her handkerchief and coughed, obviously not happy to see the wild children outside get the above genealogy, but she was not willing to bring it up, and motioned to her niece and nephew.

Wang Xifeng said: "It's better to discuss the matter of opening the ancestral hall, and now Sister Lin is the most important." ”

Mrs. Xing was very anxious. She herself has no children and no daughters, and she has been looking forward to it for many years to no avail, and now she has a child who cares whether she is stupid or crazy, but there is a child of her own on the family tree, and she can be regarded as a successor, so she hurriedly said: "The ancestor may think that this name is out of place." But the old man calculated with the master of the temple, saying that if this child is too pampered, I am afraid that it will not be possible. If it is more spicy, there is still hope. Coincidentally, she was seriously ill and almost died, but after giving her this name, she got better, and she was still young, and in the long run, this stupid disease might be cured when she was older. ”

Several of the girls in the room laughed softly, obviously thinking that Mrs. Xing's idea was a fool's dream. Even if she is still young, who would be as stupid as her at her age?

Jia Mu heard the Buddha number in her ears and asked, "Which master counted?" ”

Mrs. Xing: "It was said that I met the old man outside Fang in the mountains and forests." After talking for a long time at first meeting, and then looking back, it was very strange that the land was flat, and there was no one and no house. ”

Mother Jia secretly thought, in fact, the original girls in Jiafu were also taken after the names of the masters. It's just that in Baoyu's generation, because there was Yuan Chun first, the girls behind were all named with the word Chun, and Jia Xuan is actually not an exaggeration. So he sighed: "Since it is said by a Buddhist master, then take the word 'Xuan'." lest the name be too delicate and not be well raised. ”

"Exactly." Madame Xing happily beckoned to Jia Xuan to come over.
