2. Chapter 2

Thinking of this, her body, who had been kneeling in front of the sutra hall, became more and more tired. She had nothing to say to Changsun for a moment, but she just signaled him to retreat with warm words.

Seeing the tall young man turn and leave, she said to the mother-in-law beside her: "I'll go to the East Courtyard later and tell the person in Jing Nian's house that although Liu Yatou has been divorced, it is because his Wang family doesn't know the treasure. Although she has changed her surname to Yuan, the Xiao family's genealogy has not been removed. She is always a girl raised by our Xiao family. It's not easy to come back for a long time but will not go back to the house. She plans to call Liu Yatou back to have dinner tonight, and ask her to prepare a dish that Liu Yatou loves to avoid neglecting the child's heart."

After giving all this, she closed her eyes again and slowly hit the wooden fish in front of her...

The old lady's words made the East Courtyard a little messy and a mess.

Mrs. Wang, the mother of Xiaoshan, has suffered from headaches these days. She was lying on the warm kang with cotton clasped and wrapped in a brocade quilt. But after hearing the woman's words, her sick body was like a carp that had just come out of water. She thrust up with her arms. She supported the edge of the kang on the warm kang and said, "Are you, a woman, running all the way, the wind is shining? Say it again, my ancestor really asked... to come back for dinner?"

The old lady had no choice but to learn all the things that our ancestors said again.

After listening to it, Mrs. Wang stretched her neck and listened, her eyes immediately became straight, her arms softened, and she fell back on the warm kang, unable to say: "I understand, you go back!"

As soon as the old lady left, Mrs. Wang seemed to be looking back and sat up again, and said to her master at the end of the warm kang: "Xiao Jingnian! You still have the intention to tinker with those broken teapots! Our Xiao family is going to bring disaster into trouble again!"

Xiaoshan's father, Xiao Jingnian, the eldest master of the Xiao family, was not as angry as his wife. He was sitting at the carved kang table, with three beautiful beards raised, rubbing several cinnabar tea utensils with his hands, and was too lazy to lift his head. He snorted: "I always want to search the house. When the tree falls and scatters, the money will scatter. If you can save your life, you and I don't know where to exil. I don't know who this house is. Not to mention that there is a disaster, what's the harm? He just lit the fire and burned him out? Alas, it's a pity that I have raised these sets of tea for twenty years. I don't know which grandson to give it to. He wants to use hot tea to raise a pot every day..."

Xiao Jingnian learned several sets of qigong from the alley-kou Jianghu. Although he practiced for a few days, he was abandoned, but the skill of nourishing qi was a five-year-old Meng. Looking at the northwest, no one could match. Even if his eyebrows were burned, he would slowly call people to put out the fire.

However, Mrs. Wang lacked her husband's solid qi cultivation skills since childhood. She was worried about this and couldn't breathe in one breath. She really had the thought of hitting her head in front of her husband.

"After you have reached this stage, you are still worried about the teapot! I tell you, even if our Xiao family is really scouted and asked to beheaded tomorrow! I don't allow Xiao Yuzhu to wait for fox Mei to climb back to my Xiao family's gate!"

Hearing this, Xiao Jingnian carefully put the teapot in his hand back on the kang table, looked at his wife with a squint eyes and said, "Even if Yuzhu is your adopted daughter, he is still the daughter-in-law of your second brother's family. Why do you say so badly? But I ate a few more fermented fermented bean curd at noon!"

Mrs. Wang was used to her husband's ridicule, and ignored her and said hatefully: "I was well-behaved when I saw her, so I betrothed her to my nephew Wang Kun. But I didn't expect that she would be so unfaithful and mixed up my Wang family. Now that I have been divorced, I should have found a nunnery to snatch my hair! The old lady has read too much Buddhist scriptures and is too bodhisattva's heart, so she actually asked her to come back!"

She was filled with righteous indignation, but Mr. Xiao, who was beside him, didn't care. After savoring the hot tea he had made, he snorted coldly: "All things are, what you give to Yuzhu is a good marriage that is hard to find in the world, and she is ungrateful when she is divorced! Why didn't you keep such a good thing for the fifth girl? That sick pretty cousin is so cute that it's like ginseng fruit. How many years will it take for your Wang family to make such a person? You are a mother, and you don't leave a fresh and tender bite for your own daughter..."

Mrs. Wang couldn't hear her husband talking back to her most. Seeing that he mocked her sick nephew, she immediately raised her anger and said with a wide eyebrow, "Xiao Jingnian, you don't have to be sarcastic to me. Why did you rush to marry her in the first place? You didn't know why you had to make something ugly with Shan'er? Is your father's face shining? Besides, the one who asked her to marry her was the ancestor! Your father felt sorry for Liu Yat, why didn't you and your mother feel so excited?"

When he mentioned his ancestor, Mr. Xiao was soaked in a pigskin airbag. He suddenly felt relieved and stopped making a sound. He just turned his head and took the tea tray out of the house and returned to his study.

Mrs. Wang was so angry that she fell on the hot kang and tossed and turned around for several more times. When she saw that it was getting late, she sighed and pulled her forehead and stood up.

When she was a girl, she was a strong man and was willing to do things. After getting married, her husband was full of young men and didn't like to manage things. Mrs. Wang even went from home to outside the home.

Although she was full of unwillingness, after the ancestors spoke, she had to cheer up and hold the family dinner perfectly.

Since it is a family dinner, the important thing is reunion. While ordering the servants to prepare dinner, Mrs. Wang sent someone to deliver letters and called the children back to the east courtyard.

She gave birth to six children, three sons and three daughters, forming three words "good". However, when her daughter Lao Liu was born, she unfortunately died, so there were only five who grew up healthy and healthy.

Later, the old man was a friend of his age. Yuan Zhongyue, the master of jade carving, unfortunately died young, leaving only a helpless orphan girl Yuzhu. The old man made the decision and asked his son Xiao Jingnian to adopt Yuzhu, who was only six years old at the time, and at the same time made up for the vacancy of the old sixth family's big house, which could be regarded as accumulating a good deed for the dead Liu Yatou.

Therefore, there are not many people who know that the sixth girl Xiao Yuzhu is not the biological child of the Xiao family. Ordinary people with foreign surnames only think that Xiao Yuzhu is a serious lady in the Xiao family.

However, the young masters and ladies of the Xiao family were aware of the situation and were mixed feelings about the sixth sister returning home.

As the head of the family, Xiao Shan finally heard that his sixth sister was going back to the house for dinner. When he stopped what was at hand and rushed back, a blue cloth felt truck pulled by a donkey had quietly parked in front of the Xiao family's back house.

Yuzhu was slowly holding the maid Jue'er's hand and getting off the carriage.

It suddenly became cold at night in the northwest, but her slightly thin body was wearing only a black cloak of thin cotton, and a white cotton skirt inside was faintly vaguely, which was not enough to keep the cold.

Xiao Shan frowned slightly, walked forward, and whispered: "Didn't you send you three boxes of clothes? Why did you go out wearing only such a thin cloak?"

Yuzhu looked up and saw Xiao Shan, and said to him: "Brother, you are back."

The words "Big Brother" were spit out from her pink cherry lips, and there was an indescribable recurrence. Xiao Shan's heart couldn't help but turn a little colder in the cold wind.

Seeing Xiao Shan's face tightened slightly, Yuzhu smiled gently and said, "I like the clothes I sent by my elder brother... I will wear them again in a while."

Xiao Shan thought about the meaning of this sentence and understood it.

Yuzhu was retired by the Wang family three months ago, and just one month ago, Yuzhu's ex-husband Wang Kun was seriously ill.

According to the customs of the Great Wei Dynasty, the wife should pray for her sick husband, and she should be far away from rouge and not wear bright colors. The box of clothes she sent her was elegant in style, but the color was not solemn enough. The black and white all over the body of the jade bead seemed to be praying for the dying Wang Kun!

After figuring this out, Xiao Shan pursed his lips tightly and wanted to say something, but when he reached the mouth, he swallowed it all. He just took the black fox fur coat on one side of his carriage and handed it to Jue'er on the side and said, "Go, change it to Miss Six. It's so cold that you only let her wear this little and go out. Have you forgotten how to do your errand?"

Jue'er was taken out of Xiao's Mansion by Yuzhu, and he was also in awe of Youjia, the eldest young master of the Xiao family who had always been unhappy and was also in awe. After listening to his orders, he immediately took the outer cloak and put it on for the sixth girl.

Fortunately, the sixth girl has always been understanding. Although she hesitated slightly at the man's test, she did not roll Xiao Shan's kindness in front of the servant. She just put it on her body and entered the backyard.

Xiao Shan knew that although his sixth sister was taciturn, she had been very cautious since childhood. When she entered Xiao Mansion at the age of six, she already had the memory of her biological parents. She knew that she was living under someone else's roof and could not speak to her two other young ladies of the Xiao family, so she was humble and tolerant everywhere.

But this time, it was the first time she had returned to the Xiao family after getting married, but she could only enter the mansion through the back door of the servants, which really made Xiao Shan feel uncomfortable.

"Which bastard is the one who is the one who is not good at it? How can Yuzhu enter the mansion through the back door?" Seeing that the eldest young master was cold, the servants who were working in the back door were a little panicked.

However, the sixth girl's clear and gentle voice relieved them: "I asked the driver to take the car parked by the back door. Now there are many things in the mansion, so it is more convenient to enter through the back door."

Xiao Shan looked at her with thick eyebrows, but in the end he said nothing. He waved his hand to signal the servants to retreat, and then called the little maid in the mansion to lead Yuzhu back to her boudoir before she got married to clean her face and change her clothes. It was windy and sandy in the northwest at night. Yuzhu's simple donkey cart was obviously airtight, so he naturally had to wash it well before eating.

When the door of the boudoir opened, Jue'er, who was following Yuzhu, exclaimed slightly. When the little maid fed warm water, took out her clothes and put them on the couch, she couldn't hide her surprise and said in surprise: "Miss Six, this place looks like the arrangement you had before you got married. Even if you embroidered half of it, put the silk handkerchief in the basket, it can be seen that the master and wife still love you, Miss Six..."

Yuzhu stood in the house and looked at the curtains around her. She had lived in this room for eight years. Logically, she could remember the layout of tables and chairs here with her eyes closed. But now she stood here, she felt like a different life, and the rest was just the red eyes in her memory when she was hurriedly getting married...

Now when we get married, all the red candles and red curtains have been removed, and they have returned to their former appearance. The people who keep this room are very considerate.

Jue'er also thought of the sadness at that time. Just as she was about to comfort the Sixth Girl, she saw that she had already returned to her usual calmness and was not in a hurry to wash. Instead, she turned around and opened the box behind the screen. After searching for a while, she finally found a bag pressed under her clothes. When she opened it, she saw that there was a complete set of jade-carved utensils, but the tools were very old and they were new.

After checking the bag, a sincere smile appeared on Yuzhu's face: "I finally found it."

Just then, footsteps came from outside the door, and a tall female voice rang out: "Sixth sister, are you back?"

While talking, a pretty girl rushed into the house without even calling her.

The visitor was Xiao Zhen'er, the fifth girl from Xiao'er. In short, she was the same age as Yuzhu, and she was sixteen years old. She was just two months older than Yuzhu's birthday and has not yet been married. This authentic lady from the Xiao family has always been close to Xiao Yuzhu.

When Xiao Zhen'er entered the house with a smile on her face and saw the long-lost sixth sister in front of her, she was really stunned.

I remember when Yuzhu first entered the mansion, she was just a six-year-old doll, and her clothes were very different from those of the flowing snot in the northwest courtyard. Xiao Zhen'er still remembers that the girl who was carried off the carriage by her grandfather was wearing a high-stretched black pink gauze skirt, and a wide-sleeved shirt. Her long hair did not grab it into a bun, but was softly hung to her waist. The wrist was not covered by the silver bracelets that the little girl often saw, but was a string of jade bracelets carved with peanuts, which were placed on her white and slender wrists, making it more moist and transparent.

This is not an orphan, it is clearly the little fairy beside the Queen Mother who has descended to earth!

Not only her, a child who has no knowledge, but the people in the yard were attracted by this delicately crafted girl who suddenly came to Xiao's house.

Even after many years, Xiao Zhen'er still remembers these shocking details clearly, so that for a long time from now on, she always unconsciously imitates this sixth girl in her dressing.

And these six girls are also sensible. The unique gauze skirt she wore when she entered the mansion and the peanut bracelet were given to Xiao Zhen'er by her. The friendship between children is easier than that of adults. How can such a kind-hearted child not make people love it?

Since then, Xiao Zhen'er sincerely accepted Yuzhu as her sister.

However, natural and subtle comparisons are always indispensable in girls’ nature.
