After the Republic of China

In the dark night, the starlight from the dimly lit lantern is not enough to illuminate people's hearts.

Standing outside the house on a cold winter night is even more lingering to people.

Shao Yunshi clasped her hands together, and said to Bai Erniang who was busy paying her respects, "Is the cold-dispelling soup ready?"

Before she went to the nursery just now, she stopped Bai Erniang from following her, and arranged for her to go to the kitchen to cook soup for everyone.

In fact, she did it for Bai Erniang's good, for fear that she would mess up her senses and ruin the arrangement.If the thief is not caught, no matter how tired he is, the person who is caught will suffer.

Although Baierniang was worried about her family, she also understood the rules and knew that she should not make trouble in front of her master, so she agreed to cook the soup.

Now that she saw her daughter, she felt more at ease.

Seeing the question, she hurriedly replied: "It's all cooked, if the lady hadn't told me to cook the soup, I might not have found Jinling."

It turned out that when Bai Erniang was cooking the cold-dispelling soup, she found that a medicine was missing, so she went to the backyard to find Ximei to get it.

No, Ximei saw the little Jinling who was about to fall asleep in the small kitchen.

Shao Yunshi nodded to the grateful Bai Erniang and said, "It's good if I can find the child."

Everyone can't stand outside.After a gust of wind, Shao Yunshi hurriedly greeted everyone and walked to the backyard.

On the way, Bai Erniang hugged her daughter all the time.

Now that she was free, she said what she didn't have time to ask when she found her daughter earlier, "Girl, how do you know about the flower garden? Didn't Mommy tell you to follow Miss?"

When Ximei and Bai Erniang found Xiao Jinling, the child was still a little confused, and didn't know how long she had been in the small kitchen.

So, until Xiaodong went back to pick him up, the two of them didn't ask much, they only knew the general situation.

Shao Yunshi and Xiaodong knew that Bai Erniang was in a hurry, although they felt that it was not good for her to ask the child at this moment, they thoughtfully did not interrupt her.

Xiao Jinling lay in Grandma's arms, she felt much more stable, she replied in a low voice: "Miss told me to rest earlier, I will come back and stay with Grandma."

Probably still a little boring, the child took a breath, and then said: "Father said, during the New Year's festival, there are many people who buy flowers, and the flowers at home will definitely not be used. It's a pity to leave them for nothing, so he took me to the flower garden to clean them up." Potted flowers."

Hearing this, several people twitched their lips helplessly when they thought about Bai Lao Er's usual stingy situation.

Shao Yunshi looked at the child with pity, and said, "It was indeed I who told the child to go back."

Bai Erniang didn't care about embarrassment at this moment, after listening to Miss's words, she knew that she wasn't angry because of what she said just now, after being relieved, she urged her daughter: "What happened next?"

Little Jinling was indeed frightened, she started to lose energy again when she saw people, squinted her eyes, and replied: "We were making potted flowers, and someone pushed my elder brother into the flower garden, and made a noise. I yelled, and then for some reason, my father collapsed in the small rest room."

Probably because she was too frightened, Xiao Jinling shivered, and then continued: "Someone outside shouted to arrest the thief, so that person dragged my brother into the tool room..."

The poor little Jinling was usually very clever, and she and Ximei Xiaodong and the others were able to read characters together. Although a passage was spoken intermittently, it was still clear.

What the child said was simple, Shao Yunshi had sorted out the process, thought about it, and asked softly, "Where were you at that time?"

Little Jinling liked Shao Yunshi very much, when she saw the lady asking, her eyes lit up a little, and she replied: "I am fertilizing the pot of yellow roses for the lady."

Shao Yunshi likes to smell the scent of roses, which are slightly sweet and beautiful in shape, and she especially likes milky white ones.

In Huaiyuan Garden, not only many roses are planted outdoors as fences, but also pots are planted indoors, with various shapes.

A child's voice is born with a magical power to soothe people's hearts.

It is even softer if it is more childlike.

Listening to Xiao Jinling's words, Shao Yunshi unnaturally thought of the comfort of playing with flowers and plants in the past, but it eased a little, the irritability of walking hard in the cold night.

Xiaodong was straightforward, she touched the little girl's head distressedly, and said, "Is Jinling sleepy? If so, go to sleep."

Xiao Jinling wasn't in a good mood at the moment, but she didn't feel sleepy. She shook her head and said, "I still have something to say. I won't go to bed until Miss knows."

Hearing Xiao Jinling's words, Shao Yunshi smiled sadly, and boasted: "I'm still on the road, so it's fine if I don't sleep."

Bai Erniang also hurriedly said: "No, you can't sleep on the road, or you will catch cold."

Shao Yunshi touched the child's forehead, and it was okay, so she asked again: "Jin Ling, why don't you go to watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve? You can fertilize the flowers at any time, what a silly child."

The little golden bell man squatted low in the flowers, and it was really difficult for others to spot him without making a sound, not to mention that it was even more difficult to spot the thief when he was flustered at the time.

With such reasoning, Shao Yunshi understood why Xiao Jinling escaped without asking the child.

However, thanks to this kid's cleverness, otherwise he would have been caught if he was careless.

Shao Yunshi could understand these reasons, so she felt sorry for the child and didn't say anything.

Bai Erniang also understood, and while worrying, she kept chanting about Amitabha, Lord Buddha blesses you.

Seeing that her mother was terrified, Xiao Jinling comforted her, "Don't be afraid, Mom. At that time, Dad gave me a wink, so I obediently covered my mouth and squatted down."

Bai Erniang already knew about his wife and son, and she was very worried to hear about it now, but in front of her daughter, she could only endure it.

Shao Yunshi was afraid that she would show her traces, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Don't worry, Uncle Bu Yi and the others are trying to find a way, and they will be rescued."

Baierniang held back her tears and hummed.

Xiaodong was very calm, "Thieves will not succeed."

Seeing Xiaodong smiling at her, Xiao Jinling took the credit and said to her: "Sister Xiaodong is so amazing, I did what Sister Xiaodong always said, and the bad guys really didn't see me."

Xiaodong is a playful person. Seeing the chaos in the world, she also likes Xiao Jinling. In private, she often teaches her how to escape and so on.

It's also fortunate that she taught well, otherwise Xiao Jinling wouldn't have to run away this time.

Xiao Jinling's childish words, combined with the silence of the night, seemed somewhat ethereal.

Everyone smiled knowingly, and a lot of fatigue was relieved.

Seeing her pitiful and delicate appearance, Xiaodong teased her after laughing, "Little Jinling is really powerful, I wrote down what my sister said, hide well, hide well!"

Following their servants, they jokingly said: "Little girl also knows how to escape to the backyard to find someone, that's amazing."

Xiao Jinling had been hiding in the flower garden for a long time, seeing Xiaodong and everyone complimenting her made her feel happy.

Following her servant's words, she squinted her eyes and said, "I crawled out of the dog's hole. Awang was also good. He didn't shout when he saw me. He followed me to the small kitchen in the backyard."

Hearing these words, everyone took a deep breath.Ngawang is a dog!
Xiaodong was surprised, "Why didn't Ah Wang shout?"

Xiao Jinling was proud, "I gave him a little milk bun."
