Fair Lady

Chapter 8

Shuyao was woken up by the screeching voice. Although she was six years old, the problem of light sleep and easy waking caused by fear and fatigue in her previous life seems to have not changed.

The candle was extinguished, but it was already daylight, and the sound came from the writing on the small bed opposite. He leaned on the bed with half-closed eyes, but his little hands fumbled on the small cabinet next to the bed, mumbling "water, water." Woolen cloth?"

Shuwen is very thirsty, especially in the early morning. He always wakes up thirsty and has to sit up and drink some water before continuing to sleep.Mother or elder brother will remember to put a glass of water on the small cabinet next to his bed every night before going to bed. Yesterday was a mess, and elder brother forgot.

Shuyao got up and walked to the table, only then remembered that the teapot and pastries were in the mahogany box, quickly took them out and put them on the table, poured a glass of water for Shuwen.

After drinking the water, Shuwen fell down and continued to sleep, his little red mouth squirmed twice, looking very satisfied, very cute.

Shuyao's heart was soft, and she looked at Shuwen with a smile. In this life, she will never let Shuwen have any trouble again.

The door opened with a slight "squeak", and it was Shujie who came in. Seeing the cup in Shuyao's hand, he said apologetically, "I forgot to prepare water for Wen'er last night, and I just remembered. Sleep for a while, and the elder brother will call you later."

Shuyao came over and took Shujie's hand: "I don't want to sleep anymore, come here, big brother, you also drink some water and eat two snacks."

Shujie shook his head: "Brother, I don't want to eat anymore. I have asked Cuizhu to make breakfast. I will have porridge and steamed buns with everyone later. I will save you and Wen'er to eat when you are hungry today." Today is busy, and he is worried that when the time comes I can't take care of my younger siblings.

"No, I want my elder brother to eat it. If my elder brother doesn't eat it, I won't let Wen'er eat it, and neither will I." Shu Yao pouted and shook Shujie's arm, her eyes were red.

Shujie hurriedly coaxed: "Eat, brother, eat, Yaoer is good, Yaoer doesn't cry." Shujie loves the twin siblings very much, but Shuyao has never been as affectionate to Shujie as Shuwen. After returning from the pharmacy, Shujie found that Shuyao had become very dependent on him, which made him both happy and sad. The sad thing is that the young sister must have lost her parents in a short period of time, so she quickly became sensible.If possible, he would rather she was that carefree and self-willed girl.

Shuyao happily poured a glass of water for Shujie, took out another piece of red bean cake, peeled off the oil paper, and fed it to Shujie's mouth.

Shujie just took a sip of water, and was stunned: "Why does the water seem a little sweet today? It's very delicious."

Shuyao thought to herself, it should be the reason of Zengling, and replied nonchalantly: "Because Yao'er poured it for elder brother herself."

Shujie smiled, and touched Shuyao's little head: "Yes, how can the water poured by Yao'er not be sweet?" Without thinking about it, he ate two pieces of pastries under Shuyao's soft and hard soak.Today's pastries are also very delicious. It seems that I have been watching all night and I am really hungry.

"Brother, where are your and Wen'er's treasure chests? There are also your valuable and important things, and Yao'er has to hide them." Shu Yao suddenly whispered in Shujie's ear.

Shu Jie was taken aback for a moment, and then thought about the performance of his uncle, third uncle and Zhen Dafu and his wife yesterday, which scared his sister.Feeling distressed, she hugged Shuyao on her lap and sat down: "Don't be afraid, Yaoer, there is a big brother here."

Shuyao shook her head: "Yao'er is not afraid, but mother said that uncle, aunt, and Cuizhu are going to steal things from our house, and Yao'er wants to hide, brother, what do you say?"

Sure enough, it was Mother who found out that there was something wrong with the green bamboo, no wonder they rushed to look at the cellar as soon as the fire went out yesterday. Shujie knew that his father had brought two big boxes back, but he didn't know what was inside.

Before going out yesterday, my mother seemed to want to say something to him, she kept tugging on his sleeve, but was interrupted by the green bamboo, and then my mother passed out again, so he hurried out to find Langzhong Wu.

Putting it all together, Shujie figured out some things. No wonder the uncle and third uncle also came to the door yesterday, and no one from Xiafu had ever been to their house.

"Mother also said that Uncle, Auntie and Cuizhu are going to sell Yao'er and Wen'er to others. Mother told you to sell Cuizhu. Cuizhu's identity is hidden by Yaoer, so they can't find it." Shu Yao He held Shujie tightly with his little hands, as if he was very frightened.

Shujie was so angry that he wished he could rush out immediately to drive Zhen Dafu and others away, but the "tremor" of the little girl in his arms made him immediately turn his mind back, and he hugged Shuyao tightly: "Don't be afraid, Yaoer, big brother is not afraid!" Let anyone hurt you and Wen'er a hair."

Shuyao nodded: "Well, big brother, tell me quickly, where is the thing." There was already a loud commotion outside, it should be that Zhen Dafu and the others got up.

Although Shujie wondered where Shuyao could hide things, he still pointed to the desk: "It's all in the drawers, the first drawer is mine, and the second drawer is Shuwen's." He took out the key and gave it to Shuyao.

"Brother, go out and have a look, lest those people make trouble in our house again." Shuyao urged.

"Okay, the elder brother is out, I'll come in and help you put on some clothes later." Shujie put down Shuyao, stood up and went out. After a while, the neighbors should also come.

Shuyao went over to close the door, took out his key from the purse under Shuwen's pillow, immediately opened two drawers, and put all the things inside into the mahogany box.He looked around the room again, and took away the valuable things, including a fox fur cloak and a wild wolf fur robe from the elder brother, which were given by Aunt Lan, the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan.Shuyao knew how greedy that Lin was. In her previous life, these two expensive clothes appeared on her cousins ​​Zhen Kebao and Zhen Keying.

After finishing all this, Shuyao breathed a sigh of relief, sat at the table, drank a glass of water and ate a snack, really, it was very delicious, and the water was a little sweet.

There was about a cup of water left in the teapot, and Shu Yao poured it into Shuwen's cup.Only then did Shuwen wake up, let him eat two pieces of snacks and drink a glass of water.When I turned around, I collected the remaining snacks.

Shuwen smacked his lips: "Sister, I want red bean cake." Why is this dessert so delicious today?

Shuyao shook her head: "No, I have to drink some porridge after I go out to wash up, and save the snacks for when I'm hungry in the afternoon."

Shuwen has always been well-behaved, and he didn't insist on it, but he was a little strange: "Sister, I haven't washed yet, why do you want me to hide in the room and eat snacks secretly?"

Shuyao pointed to the outside, and said in a low voice: "There are so many people today, and there are not enough dim sums. You can't let people watch you eat, right? You can't tell others that you have eaten dim sums when you go out."

"Oh," Shuwen didn't ask much, and with the help of Shuyao, he wore filial piety clothes. Usually, his elder brother helped him dress, but now that his parents are gone, his eldest brother is working hard, and the sensible Shuwen didn't say a word. , and Shuyao clumsily put on the filial piety clothes based on yesterday's memory.

Shuyao opened the door: "Go out and look for elder brother, and bring in my filial piety clothes. By the way, Wen'er, you have to remember to stay away from uncles and aunts."

Shuwen nodded, he really hated the pair of uncles and aunts whom he met for the first time.

The filial piety clothes were brought in by Aunt Li, she helped Shuyao put them on, and then took Shuyao out to wash.

When everyone was having breakfast, Shuyao caught sight of Zhen Dafu and Lin Shi who had already eaten before sneaking into her and Shujie's room, and secretly sneered.
