Chapter III
Mrs. Guo bowed down and led Jia Xuan over, and kept telling the girl what to do, and even prompted her to take a steady step.
Jia Xuan pretended to be ignorant and followed what she said, saluted Jia's mother, and thanked the ancestors.
Mother Jia was quite happy, took Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "You two sisters have only come recently, and you can be stubborn together when you have nothing to do in the future." Suddenly, I remembered that Jia Xuan was not very smart, so as not to mistake her granddaughter, she hurriedly said: "Sister Xuan should study all kinds of things on weekdays, and she has no time." Daiyu would play with the other sisters. ”
Everyone knew what Jia's mother meant, and couldn't help but glance at Jia Xuan a few more times, all of them secretly sighed that such a cute and beautiful little girl with Yuxue was a fool. Otherwise, with her color better than all the sisters, she might have grown up with something extraordinary.
Lin Daiyu looked at her sideways for a while, smiled with Jia's mother and said, "It's not bad to be stubborn with Sister Xuan." I think this sister is extremely intelligent. Look at her eyes, how beautiful they are. After that, he smiled kindly at Jia Xuan.
Jia Xuan felt that this room full of people was blinded by lard, and they were all stupid. Only this Lin Daiyu is still smart, so she has a good impression of this Sister Lin. Seeing Lin Daiyu talking to her, she picked up what she could say and spit out a few words: "Sister Xie is in love." I'll be stubborn with my sister in the future. ”
Lin Daiyu pulled Jia's mother's sleeve: "Look, my sister is really smart." The ancestors didn't believe it, and neither did the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law. ”
Mrs. Xing had a good impression of this cousin, and said yes repeatedly.
Mother Jia felt sorry for her granddaughter who had just lost her mother, and she couldn't brush off her granddaughter's kindness, so she could only say when she was happy: "Then let's get together again when it's okay." ”
Before Jia Xuan entered the house before, Lin Daiyu was sad and sad when she remembered her dead mother, and she became happier after seeing a stupid child. The others couldn't bear to let her regain their sorrow, and they all pretended to echo her to make her happy.
Jia's mother didn't want her granddaughter to really bother with a stupid child, not to mention that the stupid child was still unknown, and she didn't know where Jia Yu sowed the seeds, so Jia Yu desperately wanted to recognize her.
Mother Jia called several granddaughters to come to her and said to Lin Daiyu, "Come and talk to your sisters." They have been looking forward to you for a few days, and they finally looked forward to you, but they can talk a little more. ”
Wang Xifeng wished that Jia's mother hated this wild child, and many people in the family had to open their mouths more, not to mention that this was still a master, not a slave of cats and dogs.
She motioned for Ping'er to come over, pushed Jia Xuan and Ping'er, and said, "You accompany the girl to go outside and recognize the way." ”
Ping'er knew that she wanted her to take people away, so she took the child's hand and went out. After walking a few steps, he found that Mrs. Guo did not follow, so he beckoned Mrs. Guo to come over, and when he came out of the house, he said, "You are so good to take your girl back, don't go the wrong way." ”
After thanking her for her kindness, Mrs. Guo accompanied Jia Xuan out of the courtyard of the upper room.
It stands to reason that they should have gone to the isolated courtyard where the eldest master was. Who knew that after the masters gathered here, there was a slight shortage of manpower here.
The mandarin duck happened to see them passing by, and just returned to the yard and didn't know Jia Xuan, seeing that Mrs. Guo was old and could go to the outer courtyard at any time, so she pointed to Mrs. Guo and said: "There is not enough tea in the house, and I don't know where they put the tea leaves, but they can't find them." You go to the front yard and ask the second master's little house, but there is still new tea. When I looked back, the old lady's new tea was found and I returned it. ”
This is the big girl in front of the ancestor, and she can't be easily offended, and if she doesn't obey, she may affect her own girl. Mrs. Guo couldn't, so she could only smile and go down, and before leaving, she kept telling the girl not to run around, just standing where she was and waiting for her to come back.
Jia Xuan didn't care about waiting or not waiting, he was okay now, so he nodded and agreed.
Who knew that not long after Mrs. Guo left, suddenly there were Gu worms ready to move, always struggling to go somewhere. The insect was crystal white, and its original body was a silkworm, and it only became a Gu after she refined it well.
There wasn't this one among the bugs that did the wrong thing last night. Jia Xuan saw that it really wanted to move, so he simply let it out and walk around at will. She followed to see if there was anything interesting.
Unexpectedly, the insect led her to turn left and right, and when she arrived at a strange courtyard, she stopped in a corner and did not move. Jia Xuan saw it circling around an embroidered shoe, so he picked up the shoe casually and looked at it carefully.
The shoes were old, worn by people, and at first glance they were only familiar, but they were nothing special. But if he can let his own worms come over to see, Jia Xuan feels that it must have its strengths.
She looked at it carefully for a while, and found that there was a sandwich in the upper, so she simply tore it open and looked at it, although the edge of the clip was not neat, it was obviously torn from somewhere, but it was really a small piece of double-sided embroidery, with bluegrass on one side and chrysanthemum on the other.
It stands to reason that this kind of embroidery will not just make such a little, but more like taking down this complete pattern from a large embroidery.
Double-sided embroidery is very special, it needs to be embroidered with different patterns on the front and back sides of the same fabric at the same time. There are only more than ten embroiderers in Jinling City, and if they have no leisure and want a double-sided embroidery, they have to go to other places to buy it.
Looking back at these shoes, Jia Xuan couldn't help but secretly "oops" - strange that these shoes looked a little familiar, and they were the same as the corpse he saw last night. At that time, the corpse was wearing only one shoe, and I don't know if it was the second one in front of me.
Jia Xuan thought about it for a while, and felt that this thing and the complicated things it might be mixed with had nothing to do with her, so she simply didn't care about it. But this thing had already been turned over by her, and it seemed inappropriate to throw it casually, so she threw it in a hidden place in the corner of the wall, and covered it with a few weeds.
During dinner, Jia's mother held a banquet to entertain her granddaughter who had just arrived at the house.
No one invited her here to Jia Xuan, and she was happy. And because she crossed the road in front of Jia's mother, the mother-in-law and maids in the house knew her a little, knew that she was a master, and as long as she didn't move things after seeing her, she couldn't see her.
Because Mrs. Wang had a life, she said that she was afraid that the fifth girl would not be hungry because she was too young, so she asked her to prepare some meals in advance. Jia Xuan ate alone in a small hall, and while everyone else was eating, he swam in the garden alone, practicing his own insects by the way.
Unexpectedly, after dinner, she was wandering by the pool in an unknown place when she suddenly heard a soft sob. The cry was delicate and tactful, and it was somewhat familiar. Following this voice, I found out that it was the smart and lovely sister I just met today, called Lin Daiyu.
If it was someone else, Jia Xuan would ignore him. Sister Lin is the most amiable and lovely, she thought about it again and again and walked over, and asked her softly: "Why is my sister crying here?" But someone snubbed my sister? After a long time, he found the little broken handkerchief in his arms and handed it over.
Lin Daiyu saw her like this,
Lin Daiyu was choking to herself, and she couldn't help someone talk to her so softly. After a closer look, it was the little sister with beautiful eyes today, so she wiped the corners of her eyes and choked up: "It's okay, but there is sand in my eyes." ”
Raising her eyes and seeing the handkerchief, she couldn't help but smile, and took it and gently wiped away the tears: "You are sincere." Obviously, there was only this tattered little handkerchief all over her body, but she was still willing to take it out to wipe her tears.
"Why is my sister so estranged from me?" Jia Xuan saw that the place she chose was a whole clean boulder, so she sat next to her: "My sister and I have just arrived here, if my sister is also separated from me, I really don't even have anyone to talk to here." ”
Lin Daiyu didn't want to trouble others. But seeing that this sister said sincerely, and every word was in her heart, she relieved herself and said: "Today, Zhao'er, the little girl next to the second brother of Lian, said that a double-sided embroidered screen in my grandmother's treasury was torn off, and I don't know when it was damaged. Zhao'er didn't say that Brother Parrot broke it when she was helping her grandmother get something from the storeroom, and Brother Parrot complained to me that she hadn't done it. I felt sorry for my brother, but I couldn't help her, so I sat here for a while. ”
"Sister, can you tell me about the pattern of that screen?"
Lin Daiyu hadn't seen it either, so she only heard Brother Parrot mention a few words, so she briefly described it.
Jia Xuan remembered a piece of double-sided embroidery in the shoe, and remembered the corpse.
For her, it was all a matter of thought. Ignoring it before was because it had nothing to do with her, but now that those things continue to be hidden, it may cause Lin Daiyu to continue to be sad, so she can't sit idly by.
"Sister, wait a minute, the matter of that thing may be solved in a few days." Jia Xuan said as he got up.
It's time to go back and find that shoe again.
