Fair Lady

The four-year-old Xiutao found a chance to speak at this time, and opened her round eyes: "Mother, the burden is heavy and I can't move it."

It turned out that as soon as Hongmei came to the street, she saw Cuizhu sitting on the front shaft of a carriage, and she didn't answer, and she heard someone next to her say: "It's really not a thing, Xia Niangzi went away with someone as soon as she died. gone."

Hongmei dropped the bundle in her hand with a "buzz" and ran towards Xia's yard. The little Xiutao couldn't hold the bundle, and was afraid of losing her mother, so she ran along regardless of the bundle.

Hongmei let out an "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"" and was about to run out to find the bundle, but Chunsheng came in with the bundle in his arms: "Aunt Mei, is this your bundle?"

"Yes, yes, thank you, little brother." Hongmei took over the burden and thanked you repeatedly.

Shujie pulled Guo Chunsheng and introduced: "Aunt Mei, she is Chunsheng, the boss of Aunt Li's next door, you forgot, he always came to our house to eat the pancakes you made."

Chunsheng also chuckled: "That's right, I still get hungry thinking about the pancakes made by Aunt Mei."

Only then did Hongmei recognize it: "Ah, no wonder it looks familiar, but at that time Chunsheng was still a little fat man, and now he has grown into a handsome young man. After Aunt Mei has finished packing, I will make pancakes for you to eat."

Chunsheng thanked me and said goodbye to go back.

Hongmei put the bundle on the chair, and pulled Xiutao: "Eldest young master, this is my daughter Xiutao. Xiutao, hurry up and greet the eldest young master, second young master, and girl."

Xiutao was about to kneel down, but was grabbed by Shujie: "Aunt Mei, don't teach Xiutao these things. You are no longer our family's maid, but my mother's good sister. From now on, Xiutao will be our younger sister, Yaoer And many playmates."

Shuwen clapped his hands: "Okay, someone is going to call me brother." Shuyao took a bun from the table and gave it to Xiutao.Within fourteen days (Twenty Seven), the three brothers and sisters were not allowed to eat meat, and the remaining buns were given to Aunt Mei and her daughter.

Hongmei suddenly remembered about Cui Zhu: "Eldest Young Master, I seem to have seen Cui Zhu just now, where is she going? Tell her to ignore me."

Shujie told Hongmei what happened in the past two days.

Hongmei was trembling with anger, she thought that Cuizhu was honest and reliable back then, and her wife brought Cuizhu out when she left Murong Mansion, but now Cuizhu would dare to collude with the Zhen family to sell Shuyao and Shuwen.

Shujie comforted: "It's over, Aunt Mei doesn't have to be angry about this kind of person, Aunt Mei will keep the 300 taels of silver for her family."

Hongmei shook her head: "Eldest young master, you must continue to study, and second young master will also enter school next year. There will be many places to spend money in the future. You should hide these bank notes. Aunt Mei still has some broken silver on her body. My wife sent ten taels of silver. We only spent two liang of money. In a few days, Aunt Mei will go to buy a stone mill to make some tofu and sell pancakes. The savings should cover our daily expenses."

Seeing Aunt Mei's stubbornness, Shujie stopped insisting and asked her to eat some steamed buns first, before she settled down.

Hongmei and Xiutao live in the house where Cuizhu used to live.

When Hongmei went to tidy up their mother and daughter's house, Shuwen was playing with Xiutao in the courtyard, Shujie closed the courtyard door, took Shuyao back to the house, and asked softly, "Yaoer, where did you hide your things?" The drawers with Shuwen were both pried, but Zhen Dafu and the others obviously didn't get anything.

Shuyao closed the doors and windows, and told the story of waking up yesterday, going to the cellar after listening to her mother, finding the mysterious mahogany box, and hiding everything in the box.

Of course, you can't talk about the rebirth, and you can't talk about the deliberate burning of the utility room. All the things she can't think of and know at her age are still pushed to "mother's words".

This was enough to make Shujie stunned, those eyes that were about [-]% or [-]% similar to Shuyao's were wide open, full of disbelief.

Shuyao showed a mahogany box: "Brother, look."

Shujie didn't see anything.

Shuyao was in a hurry, and used her mind to get Shujie's treasure chest out of the box. Shujie saw the treasure chest that appeared out of thin air, and his mouth opened into an O shape. Was this made by his sister?

Shuyao suddenly remembered "Living Objects": "Brother, I'll put you in a box, don't be afraid."

Shujie nodded subconsciously, and the next moment he found himself standing in a room without doors and windows, surrounded by red wooden boards.

Shuyao also came in: "Brother, this is the 'living object' of the mahogany box, but I can't see the box outside."

Shujie came back to his senses, looked at Shuyao who looked depressed and anxious, and comforted him: "Yaoer, don't worry, this is a magical treasure bestowed on Yaoer by God, so others will not be able to see it. Yaoer, this matter must never be seen." Don't let the third person know, not even Wen'er, if you slip up, you will be in trouble." The man is not guilty, but he is guilty of being pregnant, let alone such a weird baby?At that time, I'm afraid that my sister will become a tool for those powerful and noble people to compete for.There is another possibility, those who can't fulfill their wishes will slander the younger sister into a monster and burn her to death.

Shu Yao nodded: "Well, Yao'er knows. At the beginning, Yao'er didn't tell Big Brother because she was frightened by the magic of the mahogany box, and there were many people at home, so Yao'er was afraid. Brother, now we have a lot of silver, From now on, you should study hard, not only to take the Juren examination, but also to be the No. [-] Scholar, so you don’t have to worry about money.”

Shujie responded: "Okay, brother must work hard." Uncle Zhang was right, only by obtaining fame and official status in the exam can he better protect and take care of his younger siblings.Now that he has a whole box of silver and the banknotes left by his mother, he should focus on the scientific examination.

Shuyao sent Shujie out of the box and went out by herself.

Shujie suddenly thought of what Shuyao said just now: "Yaoer, you said there are still rice, flour, and sweet potatoes in the cellar?"

Shu Yao nodded for confirmation.

Shu Jie hurriedly said: "Let's go over now and put these things in the guest room, otherwise it will suddenly appear in the future, and it will be difficult to explain to Aunt Mei."

The two entered the farthest room, closed the door, and Shuyao moved out three large bamboo baskets of sweet potatoes, two large bags of flour, and four large bags of white rice.

Shujie took out the 300 taels of silver note: "Yao'er, put this in the mahogany box too, and you will keep all the valuables at home from now on, and you will get out the daily-use things later, Wen'er and I will keep them together." The treasure chest is still in there, and you can take it out when you need it." Except for Aunt Mei, a weak girl, the rest of the family are children, so it's better to be careful.As for Shuwen's treasure chest, just tell him to hide it. Now Shuwen also knows that uncle and those bad guys will come to the house to steal things.

When Shuyao returned to Shujie's room and took out the pot of "Eighteen Scholars", both brothers and sisters were shocked. Is this still the half-wilted flower that was about to pass its flowering period?

As we all know, the flowers of the Eighteenth Bachelor Camellia are composed of dozens or even hundreds of petals, forming a hexagonal tower-shaped corolla, with distinct layers, orderly arrangement, very elegant and delicate.The petals at the adjacent two corners are arranged in rounds, mostly 18 rounds, so it is called "Eighteen Bachelors".

Of course, there is another saying that a real "Eighteen Scholars" has eighteen flowers in total, each with different colors and shapes, and each has its own beauty, so it is called "Eighteen Scholars", which is a camellia The best in the world, but no one seems to have seen it in reality.Shujie loves camellias very much. He has consulted many books and participated in many camellia festivals. Unfortunately, he has never seen the real "Eighteen Scholars" in the legend.

But the potted flower in front of me is very beautiful in both the crown and leaf shape. The leaf color is dark green, the leaf surface is extremely bright and shiny, the leaf shape is well-proportioned, and the leaf quality is plump.What's more important is that this "Eighteen Scholars" really blooms eighteen flowers at this time, and the colors of the flowers are different. The red ones are all red, and the purple ones are all purple. Blossoms are different and extremely beautiful.

"Yao'er, is this still the original pot?" Shujie asked in a dazed manner.

Shu Yao was also dumbfounded: "It should be, brother, look at the smiling face painted by Wen'er on the flower pot.

"Yes, yes, it's really the original pot." Shujie finally came to his senses. It's not surprising that such a magical treasure chest can appear, and it's not surprising that flowers can be transformed into this. "Yao'er, you should put it in first. Firstly, such a colorful flower is not suitable for displaying in the house, and secondly, it will cause trouble if people see it." Shujie looked at it reluctantly.

Shuyao saw the big brother's reluctance and smiled and said: "When the big brother wants to see it, Yao'er can take it out at any time."

Shujie immediately became happy, didn't he?It’s not like you can’t see it anymore when you put it away. What are you so reluctant to do?Let the little sister laugh.

Shuyao took out the gold-plated Chuanhuaxizhubuyao that was put in the box together with the camellia, and the brother and sister were amazed again, this is still the old one that the mother has worn for several years, the brand new jewelry in the silver building is not so dazzling Shine and shine, right?

"By the way, Yao'er, the snacks and water you gave me in the morning were also taken out of the mahogany box?" Shujie's head turned quickly, he still remembered the taste of the snacks and water, and what was even more amazing was , When I came back from the mountain today, everyone else was listless from hunger, but the three brothers and sisters didn't feel so hungry, and they were in good spirits.

"Well," Shuyao took out the rest of the dim sum and put it on the table, "It happens to be five yuan, and each of us has one piece. Brother, I will store all the dim sum I buy in the mahogany box for a while, not only better Eat, and you will be smarter and healthier after eating."

"Okay, okay, from now on, I will give Wen'er the water from the mahogany box every day." Of course Shujie agrees, such a magical baby must be used well, especially since Shuwen's health has not been very good.

Shu Yao was happy: "We all drink as much as we want. Brother, you can buy another big water tank for Yao'er." After that, she changed the water tank in the kitchen every night before going to bed.

Shujie agreed, touching his nose in embarrassment, why was he being made fun of by his sister again?
