Chapter 59 Clues

After exchanging pleasantries, Yunxia knew that her mother was going to have a serious talk with her grandfather and second aunt, so she waved for Xiangmei and Xiuzhu, and then led her little cousin to play in the yard.

As soon as the little cousin arrived in the yard, he had fun and circled around Yunxia happily.It was the first time he saw his cousin when he grew up so big, so he was naturally very happy.

Yunxia waited for him to turn around enough, and then teased him: "Brother Yuan, when cousin saw you last time, you were only so tall." She gestured as she spoke.

"No, my cousin must have read it wrong, how could brother Yuan be so short." The little guy sneered, expressing his disbelief.

Xiangmei burst into a smile: "Master Xiaobiao, what the eldest lady said is true, the slaves have also seen it, there is only such a little bit."

The little cousin straightened his chest, pouted and said, "I didn't see it, and I don't admit it."

Everyone was amused by him and laughed, the little guy scratched his head and laughed too.

Yunxia managed to stop laughing, she blinked, looked at the little meat ball in front of her, and thought of her eldest cousin and two more cousins.So he asked him: "Brother Yuan, have all your older brothers gone to school?"

After hearing this, Zhiyuan lowered his head, pinched his shirt with both hands and remained silent.

"What's wrong? Why didn't you talk?" Yun Xia squatted down to look at him strangely.Only then did he realize that he had a slumped face, biting his lip in grievance, and was about to cry.

Xiu Zhu who squatted down followed him quickly asked him: "Master Xiao Biao, are you feeling well?"

Zhiyuan shook his head and opened his mouth to say something, but he just opened his mouth and made no sound.

It seems that the little cousin is still hesitating, there must be something hidden.Yunxia coaxed him for a while, before he whispered: "Second brother and third brother don't go to school anymore."

"Why? My mother said that your second and third brothers are studying very well." Yun Xia was completely confused.

"Brother wants to continue studying." The little cousin muttered again.

Yunxia raised his head, stared at him and said, "Brother Yuan, please explain clearly to cousin."

Zhiyuan didn't say any more, but a few crystal clear tears rolled down from those big eyes.

"Brother Yuan, why are you crying? Didn't you just promise my cousin that you won't cry? Look, how long has it been since the little man stopped talking. So, tell your cousin what happened Tell your second and third brothers not to study? Cousin, I won’t bother you about your crying just now, otherwise, I will ignore you, and I won’t take you to play.” Yunxia took out a handkerchief from her sleeve. The son wiped his tears, while threatening and luring the little guy, trying to find out the reason.

Who knows that the little guy won't be fooled, he waved his hands and said, "I can't say, grandpa will be angry."

Yunxia was confused by this little guy, he was really tight-lipped.Forget it, I will ask later.

"Brother Yuan, let's go, my cousin will take you out to play, okay?" Yunxia decided to make friends with him first.

After all, Zhiyuan is a child, hearing what Yun Xia said, his eyes lit up, and he smiled through his tears: "Okay, okay!" The two chubby hands clapped happily.

So Yunxia led him out, Xiangmei and Xiuzhu followed closely behind.

The town is not big, there are only two streets, one horizontal and one vertical, and the horizontal street is slightly longer.The streets are paved with bluestone slabs, and walking on them seems to be stepping on a long history.

Several people were walking on the street, and people greeted Zhiyuan along the way. It seemed that Zhiyuan was quite cute.

Zhiyuan responded politely to everyone, and then took the trouble to introduce Yunxia to everyone: "This is my cousin, she has come to see me."

Zhiyuan was bursting with pride when she said this, and sincerely recommended her cousin to everyone as a hero.

A middle-aged aunt asked, "Is your cousin your aunt's daughter?"

"Well, Aunt Nie, that's exactly right." Zhiyuan answered bluntly.

A young girl next to the aunt took up the conversation: "Ah, it turns out that she is the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, no wonder she looks so noble."

"I've grown so big, the eldest lady was only this tall when she came here." Another old lady came up and put her hands on her waist and said.

After a while, Yunxia was surrounded by enthusiastic neighborhood aunts and elder sisters.

She politely and patiently answered all kinds of questions from the aunts and sisters, and she really admired their ability to gossip.

After they got a satisfactory answer, they began to praise Yunxia, ​​saying that she was well-educated, well-behaved, and handsome...

She praised so much that Yunxia felt embarrassed, and quickly gave Xiuzhu a wink, signaling that she would quickly try to get herself out of the encirclement.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, Xiuzhu turned a blind eye, joined the commendation group with Xiangmei, and was the most energetic one.

Yunxia could only continue to smile, accepting the stars and the moon among the crowd.

Probably because of the simplicity of the people in the small town, these aunts and elder sisters are really sincere in complimenting people, and they even give one away, and after complimenting Yunxia, ​​they started to praise Yunxia's mother again.

Now Yunxia is much more natural, showing cute smiles with her little cousin, listening to them praise her mother as a flower.

I don't know which aunt said: "Speaking of which, Mrs. Wang is stubborn and refuses to let his daughter help. In fact, as the general's wife, the hairs on the root of the hair are relatively thick..."

Her words were taken up by the person called Aunt Nie by Brother Yuan: "You, you know the temperament of Mrs. Wang, why do you say this?"

Yunxia hurriedly called the aunt and asked, "Auntie, why does my grandfather help?"

My mother said that every time I went back to visit relatives, my grandfather always said that the family was very good, rich in money, the children and grandchildren were filial, and life was good.

Where does this gangster talk come from? Unless the grandfather is hiding something.

"Hey, doesn't Missy know? Your grandfather's family is having a hard time now. Even Zhen'er and Xuan'er can't afford to study."

This sentence was like a thunderbolt, and the thunderbolt crackled in Yunxia's mind.She instantly understood the meaning of Yuandi's words just now.

At this time, Zhiyuan stepped forward to pull the aunt's skirt, shook her head at her, the aunt bent down, Zhiyuan whispered something in her ear, the aunt sighed and stopped talking.

Aunt Nie, who was standing on the other side of Zhiyuan, waved her hand and said, "It's all over, let Yuan'er take his cousin for a stroll."

Hula la, the praise group dispersed with a bang.

Yunxia understood roughly and didn't force her to stay. She smiled and waved goodbye to them.

She led Yuandi by the hand and walked slowly down the street.For Yu Yunxia, ​​the small town, it is genuinely old-fashioned. Yunxia, ​​who wanted to appreciate it, is not in the mood now.

Crossing the vertical street is the horizontal street. In comparison, the horizontal street is more lively and has many more shops.

While walking, Yunxia was thinking about how to get Brother Yuan to fully explain, but she didn't check for a while, and she didn't find that her little cousin broke free from her hand and ran away.

When she came back to her senses, she saw her little cousin standing in front of the steamed stuffed bun shop with his eyes open, staring intently at the steaming meat buns in the drawer.

If you look closely, the little meatball is swallowing saliva, while the wings of its nose are still fluttering, smelling the fragrance vigorously.

Yunxia smiled, it seemed that Xiaoroutuan had to be bribed first.

She turned to look for Xiuzhu, only to find that Xiuzhu and Xiangmei were lingering in front of a jewelry stall.

Yun Xia walked over to them and asked them, "Do you see anyone you like?"

Xiuzhu pointed to a hairpin, and Xiangmei pointed to a pair of earrings, they both said that the young lady would look good wearing the jewelry she chose.

In this case, Miss Ben wants it all.

Yun Xia stretched out her hand and said to Xiu Zhu, "Give me all the money you carry with you."

Xiu Zhu obediently took out a few broken pieces of silver and handed them to her. Yun Xia readily bought the jewelry they were looking forward to, and then handed it over to the two servant girls.In the end, Yunxia pretended to be angry and forced the two to accept it gratefully.

The three of them went to Zhiyuan's place again, Yunxia bought a few big meat buns, stuffed them to the two younger cousins ​​and said, "Cousin is hungry, here, let's eat together."

Zhiyuan swallowed, took it happily, grabbed one with each hand, and ate it left and right.
