Fair Lady

The weather is getting colder, and there have been two heavy snowfalls this year.

In her previous life, Shuyao was extremely afraid of the cold, and would hide in the house when it was cold, not wanting to move, even during the three years when she was hiding in the countryside with Aunt Mei.

Aunt Mei doted on her, knowing that she was afraid of the cold and couldn't afford charcoal, so she always let her wrap a quilt on the kang to do embroidery work, and Xiutao did all the washing and cooking at home, and she had to do it when she was done. Put the rice on the kang for Shuyao to eat.And Aunt Mei is going to the landlord's old rich family to help out to earn money, and when she returns home, she will continue to help people wash clothes to earn some subsidies. The colder it is, the easier it is to take care of the laundry.Until now, Shuyao still clearly remembers Aunt Mei's hands that were red and swollen all winter.

In this life, she is well-raised, nourished by spiritual energy, and has practiced martial arts for a long time to practice internal strength. Shuyao is not afraid of the cold anymore, and she still gets up early in the morning to "fly" a few laps in the big garden.It's just that the two lazy guys, Xiaoguai and Huohuo, don't want to come out to accompany the little master to "crazy" no matter what, they just hide in the warm room and sleep.Unless the sun is good, the cat will go to the yard to bask in the sun.

Also "hibernating and avoiding laziness" is Xiao Wu Mu Yongjing. Since the weather is very cold, he is not bad at Xia Zhai.Even if he came back from the school and went to the summer house to practice martial arts or play with Shuwen, he still had to go back to the Hou Mansion after dinner.

Marquis Weiyuan asked strangely: "What's the matter? Don't you Brother Jie and his family have earth dragons in their house? It's too cold to sleep? No, there seems to be some."

Xiao Wu's eyes dodged, and he said embarrassingly: "I miss you, mother said that I'm never home?"

Yao Xuelan tapped Xiaowu's forehead and said with a smile: "Really? It's not because Wen'er wakes up early to practice martial arts. Are you embarrassed to sleep late?"

Xiao Wu was pointed out by her mother, blushing and muttering that she was sleepy, and wanted to go back to her yard to sleep, and then ran away as quickly as the wind, which made Yao Xuelan laugh out loud.Marquis Weiyuan also shook his head amusedly, this son is only one and a half years younger than Shuwen, so delicate.But having said that, since Shuwen and the others came to the capital, Xiao Wu has improved a lot.Well, let him follow Shuwen more, he is about the same age and easily influenced.

Life is plain and warm, Shuyao thinks this is the life she wants, happy.From the heart, except for the upcoming parting.

The Beijing branch of "Yunxuan" has basically stabilized. Xia Ruoyun and Zhang Caishu are going back to Lucheng. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Zhang's mansion is so big that there are many things to prepare.

The three of Shuyao are naturally reluctant.Xia Ruoyun said with red eyes: "Silly boy, it's not that far away. It's only seven or eight days' journey, we can still come in the future. Your uncle will come to Beijing basically once a month or two, and bring things for a while. Letters are very convenient, if you need anything, you must tell your aunt and uncle, okay?"

Shuyao nodded: "Auntie, take good care of your health, we will go back to see you." Although it is only seven or eight days away, Xia Ruoyun is the head of the house, how can she often leave home for so long?This time is already an exception.It only takes three hours from Lucheng to Yulin.It's no big deal, Xia Ruoyun can't go there often.Basically, they all want to go with Zhang Caishu.

Zhang Caishu comforted his wife: "Don't worry, Brother Jie and the three of them will only get better and better. In fact, it is much better in the capital than in Yulin. It is right in front of Mr. Jin and Weiyuanhou's mansion, and far away from Naxia's mansion and Zhen's mansion." Far away, now the Second Mrs. Sima can't move."

Xia Ruoyun frowned: "That's the reason, but the Murong Mansion... oh... what's more... there are many nobles in the capital, and it's also a place with a lot of right and wrong."

"Where there are people, there is right and wrong," Zhang Caishu said with a smile, "You have to trust Brother Jie and the three of them. In the past three years, how many things have they encountered, and which one has not been handled better than adults? Those three children They are all rewarding. And I will come here often, and we will know what they have."

Because Yulin Town is the only way to go, Zhang Caishu and Xia Ruoyun will go to Yulin Xiazhai to visit Aunt Mei.In addition to helping bring two carts of soybeans, the three brothers and sisters of Shuyao also asked Xia Ruoyun to bring Aunt Mei some things for the New Year, as well as a letter.

Xia Ruoyun's family of four left, without Zhang Xu and Zhang Chen who were lively, especially the little Zhang Chen who was always able to make laughter, the summer house suddenly became much quieter.Shuwen sighed: "I want Brother Chen to bother me now."

Shujie said angrily: "When Chen'er was here, you thought he was small and clingy, but now you think about it again? People, you have to learn to cherish."

In a few days, Jin Xida is also leaving for the southwest.Shuyao is very depressed, this emperor is too inconsiderate, Chinese New Year is coming soon, I have to go at this time, can't it be after Chinese New Year?

Jin Xida lightly patted Shuyao on the head: "This time was set by my adoptive father. Of course, there are special reasons. I missed the best time after the new year. Now that you are basically settled down, what can you do?" Look for Marquis Weiyuan. Well, also, if someone from the Jin family comes to your door, no matter who it is, no matter whether their attitude is soft or hard, you don’t have to pay attention to it, just say that the emperor’s imperial edict has already made it very clear. As for I don't care about reputation, filial piety, etc., your adoptive father, and you don't need to worry about me."

Seeing Jin Xida's serious words, Shujie and Shuwen quickly agreed.

Shuyao was absent-minded for a moment: "Whoever it is?" "Whether the attitude is soft or hard"?Is the adoptive father alluding to his parents?The adoptive father is not a cold and heartless person, as can be seen from his infatuation with his mother and the care he takes for his three brothers and sisters.Moreover, if the adoptive father is really a cold and unfilial person, the emperor will not value him so much.How can an unfilial and unrighteous person be loyal?

What kind of people are the adoptive father's parents and brothers?What kind of things did they do to him, so that his adoptive father was already disheartened by them?Previously, he would rather live in a small courtyard than return to the Jin Mansion.In addition, no one from the Jin family showed up for such a big event, such as the adoptive father's recognition of his adopted son and adopted daughter. Even, the emperor deliberately condoned and protected him, issued such an imperial decree, and added such a sentence that made the Jin family feel very embarrassed.

Niang said that the poison of a tiger does not eat its children, and there are no parents (especially mothers) who do not love their children.Old Madam Xia didn't like their father, Xia Linxuan, because he was a bastard, not born to her.The old lady Zhen didn't like their mother, Zhen Zirou, because she was not the real daughter of the Zhen family.Then why is the old man and the old lady of the Jin family?

Forget it, forget it.What rich families, especially those so-called aristocratic families, lack the most is true feelings.It's fine if the adoptive father's parents and brothers don't want to see him, he still has their three brothers and sisters, it's enough for them to take care of and be filial to the adoptive father.

Of course, it would be even better if the wound in the adoptive father's heart can be healed and he can find another woman who suits him. They don't mind having an additional adoptive mother.

Shuyao took out the medicine bottles prepared for Jin Xida, including the last "Huiyuan Pill", a "Hundred Flower Pill" detoxification pill, a porcelain bottle of good wound medicine, and three round porcelain bottles the size of her fist and some red pills.

Shuyao gave detailed explanations one by one: "Father, these medicines were prepared by the genius doctor Gao Mingde, and my master uncle Wu Zhenzi made some treatments, and the effect was almost doubled. You should keep it close to you just in case. These three porcelain bottles There is poison in it. In case of any danger, you can pull up the hemp rope on the lid and throw it to the bad guys. The contents will explode the whole bottle, and the poisonous smoke will fill the air, and they will not be able to see you. And if you don’t cover your mouth and nose quickly, you will be poisoned by the smoke and your bones will hurt all over your body. Those few red pills are the antidote.” (To be continued.
