She favors the Sixth Palace again

In late autumn, it gets colder earlier in the suburbs of Beijing than in the city. The house is already lit with charcoal fires, making the whole room warm.

Zhuo Shuixiu was curled up in a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in her hand, looking weak and depressed.

Yun Yu glanced at Qin Yunzheng, who showed an innocent expression; she stepped forward, gently touched Zhuo Shuixiu's face, and said warmly: "Are you having a hard time in the Qin family?"

Zhuo Shuixiu shook his head and nodded again, showing a complicated expression that seemed to be smiling but not whether to cry or not.

"But the affairs in the charity are too complicated, are you tired?" Qin Yunzheng asked caringly, and then patted his forehead again, a little annoyed, "That's right, you are still young, after all, your energy is limited, and there are many people in the charity. Zaza, how can you cope with it?"

It turned out that Zhuo Shuixiu heard that the Qin family had a charity hall, and even Mrs. Qin would go there to help sometimes. She couldn't help but be curious, so she asked Qin Xishi to follow her to have a look; She preferred to be in the charity hall, so she informed Mrs. Qin and Qin Xishi and went to the charity hall to help every day.

"I was negligent." Qin Yunzheng was still worrying about himself and did not notice that Zhuo Shuixiu did not pay attention to his words.

Yun Yuwei looked at Qin Yunzheng talking to himself, and couldn't help but sigh, so he just pushed him: "You should go out too, I want to talk to my little sister alone."

Qin Yunzheng was a little reluctant.

Yun Yuwei saw his awkward look and sighed, "Go ahead."

Without saying anything more, Qin Yunzheng knew that she really didn't want him to be there. Although he was still worried about Zhuo Shuixiu, he nodded and went out.

Only Yun Yuwei and Zhuo Shuixiu were left in the room.

From the charcoal basin on the side, there was occasionally a slight popping sound of charcoal fire. Neither of them spoke, and there was silence in the room.

I don't know how long it took, Zhuoshui Xiucai finally seemed to be warmed back to her senses by the warmth of the room. She still maintained the posture of holding the tea cup. Although her fingertips had been burned red by the tea cup filled with hot tea, Never let go.

"Sister Fairy." After a while, she finally spoke.

Her voice was full of infinite grievance and despair, and was no longer as clear and sweet as before.

"Will a person like me never be able to compete with my destiny?" She was extremely tired. She was just talking, but it seemed that all her strength had been exhausted.

"What kind of person are you?" Yun Yuwei asked.

Zhuo Shuixiu lowered her eyelashes, and after a long time, she spoke softly: "A poor girl from the countryside lives without a name. When she gets old, she marries someone randomly, has a few children, and then lives like this. ."

"You have a name now," Yun Yuwei said to her patiently, "Although it's a bit overwhelming, I have taught you for how many days and I can be called your 'teacher'. The teacher gave you a name that is justifiable and elegant. , is your name; when you grow up and don’t like this name, you can always give yourself a new name.”

"Zhuo Shuixiu," although Yun Yuwei gave her a name, he rarely calls her like this, "even if you are still called 'Zhuo Xiaoya', no one can deny your existence, deny your life, deny Your meaning.”

"You are still young, there is no need to think about getting married and having children too early," Yun Yuwei said with a serious face, "What you need now is to learn more and have the ability to stand on your own feet."

"When you grow up, meet the person you like, and want to marry him, it won't be too late. If you haven't met that person and just want to support yourself wholeheartedly with your skills, that's fine too." Zhuo Shuixiu, your life has just begun, why have you made such a conclusion for yourself? "

"But..." Zhuo Shuixiu's body trembled violently, and she could hardly hold the cup of tea steady, "But..."

She looked at Yun Yuwei desperately: "That's not what my sister said!"

"Sister said, these are things that only noble ladies have the right to think about! For a country girl like me, it's better to find someone to rely on as soon as possible!"

The tea cup finally slipped from her trembling hands, and the half-cold tea spilled all over the floor. The sweet white porcelain tea cup broke into several pieces.

Yun Yuwei looked at her and sighed: "That's not the case."

"Sister, she doesn't allow me to go to the charity hall to help," Zhuo Shuixiu spoke very fast. The pain made her whole heart seem to be burning. She was filled with fear and uneasiness, and she didn't know how to resolve it. It seemed that the faster she became By revealing all these anxieties and pains, she would be able to get relief faster, "Sister said..."

"It's all about serving people!" Zhuo Shuiqing learned that Zhuo Shuixiu, who had been leaving early and returning late for many days in a row, went to the Qin Family Charity Hall to help. He was so angry that he turned pale and almost went crazy. "I thought they were taking you out to socialize. , I let you out! You go to the charity hall every day to show your face and serve others, why are you so mean?!"

"If the good girl Zhuo Er doesn't do it, go and serve those rude people!"

"How could I have a sister as careless and scheming as you!"

Zhuo Shuiqing was so sad that he almost fell ill. Using the excuse of illness, he detained Zhuo Shuixiu in Lanxinyuan.

Because Qin Xishi told her not to leave Lanxin Courtyard, Mrs. Qin was soft-hearted and did not control her very strictly; and her mind gradually became more active.

As a young general, Qin Yunzheng's friends could not be said to be rich or noble, but they were all well-known figures in the capital.

After calculating all this, Zhuo Shuiqing began to spare no effort to dress Zhuo Shuixiu, dressing her up every day and urging her to make friends with others - Zhuo Shuixiu was only 11 years old. Even if she got into the male guests, she could only say: A naive and ignorant person.

But 11 years old is not a very young age after all. In addition, Zhuo Shuiqing has been reminding Zhuo Shuixiu all day long, asking Zhuo Shuixiu to choose a good husband for herself among the male guests. Zhuo Shuixiu is increasingly unwilling to be manipulated like this.

Seeing that she refused to listen to him, Zhuo Shuiqing cried twice more.

The two sisters were in a stalemate for two days, but they bumped into a silly boy - today the British Duke's wife brought her youngest son to the Qin Mansion to play. The young master from the Duke's family was only 15 years old. Where is the half-grown boy? After having the patience to chat with her, Mrs. Qin ordered someone to take him out to play. As a result, the young master, relying on his familiarity with the Qin Mansion and some cleverness, actually ditched the attendant and had fun by himself—— It didn't matter after a quick search, I found it near Lanxinyuan.

When Zhuo Shuiqing saw the opportunity, he pushed Zhuo Shuixiu to play with him, and even tried to trick Zhuo Shuixiu from the young master of the Duke's Mansion. The arrogant bad boy saw through his thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for Zhuo Shuixiu. The little girl who has not yet grown up mocked a few words.

Zhuo Shuixiu was already uncomfortable being manipulated, and then she was subjected to such stimulation. How could she sit still?

The little girl came up with grievances, but she was so bold that she secretly slipped out of the Qin Mansion. She had nowhere to go, so she just came straight to Yun Yuwei with a grievance.
