Reborn under the White Mountain

Chapter 40 Gifts
At noon, because everyone was not in the mood to eat, they just ate something casually and settled down hastily.In the evening, Zixuan came over and said that Xue Jinyu was hosting a banquet in the bamboo courtyard to welcome everyone.Mrs. Wu led her daughter and grandson to the Bamboo Courtyard, where maidservants were already waiting, and led them to the flower hall.

In the flower hall, Mrs. Xue took the main seat, Mrs. Wu sat on Mrs. Mrs. Xue’s left hand side, Mrs. Xue Jinyu sat on her right, Mrs. Fang sat next to Mrs. Wu, Mrs. Bilian was not allowed to go to the ground before confinement, but she was next to Mrs. Xue Jinyu Sitting a woman about seventeen or eighteen years old.This woman was very beautiful, she looked at Xue Jinyu with love in her eyes, Yuxian couldn't believe that her uncle didn't know.

Of course, children sit at another table, Yuxian is still young, and northerners are not so rigid, they don't pay attention to different seats for men and women at seven years old, so they all sit at the same table.Of course, the eldest and second child of the Xue family also came back in the evening. Regarding Yu Xian's catching snake, since Xue Jinyu strictly forbids rumors, even the two of them didn't know that the third child of the Xue family was scared to cry.When Xue Bochao was eating, he kept adding food to Yuxian and persuaded Yuxian to eat more.Bowen is very strange, he knows how his younger brother treats girls, what happened this time?Look at how he is taking care of him carefully, how can he look like the devil king of the Xue family? "Third brother, what happened to you today? Where are your frogs and spiders?"

Bo Chao almost choked on the food in his mouth, so he quickly took a sip of soup, "Brother, can you not mention this? Can you compare Yuxian's sister to those girls from the uncle's family? My sister is a distinguished guest."

Yuxian almost vomited when she heard that, that's right, I'm afraid no one except her would dare to catch a snake to scare this little devil, right? "Big cousin, second cousin, little cousin is very good to me, you are tired from studying, eat more." He said and helped the second cousin with food.

Bo Yuan looked at Yu Xian and said, "I saw my cousins ​​during the Chinese New Year, but I couldn't get close to them. This time, the three cousins ​​didn't come, so I'm a little disappointed. When my sister returns, help me bring some gifts to everyone." How is cousin?"

"My cousin is thinking about it. As long as my cousin's gift is not too expensive, of course Yuxian will be willing to help my cousin take it back." Yuxian said something first, don't get some very expensive things at that time, she dare not accept it.

Bowen greeted Xiaosi Xiaowu for dinner, and when he heard this, he turned around and said, "Yuxian, you really know your second cousin, he really doesn't come cheap, second, if you get some gold jade antiques Give it to the eldest cousin and the others, I guess the next time we meet, the mistress will definitely beat you up." The Xue family has a relatively loose discipline on the children, and everyone has a lot of money every month, and Boyuan likes to pick up some antique jade and so on.

"Brother, it's not those things this time. I found a treasured sword. Hehe, I think the third brother will jump for joy when he sees it. And second brother, I found a copybook written by Mr. Liu. You won't say it this time. I will throw money at people, right?" Bo Yuan smiled triumphantly.

"These things are very valuable, where did you get so much money?" Bowen was a little curious.

"I exchanged my treasures. As you know, my friends are all similar to me. They like jewelry and antiques, and don't care much about these things. I just exchanged a few of my treasures. Or else I gave something to my cousin for the first time, but they don’t want it, and I’m too shameless.” What Bo Yuan didn’t say was that he used several of his treasures in exchange for each of these things.

"With the old lady of Tong's family here, the things you gave will only become an excuse for her to embarrass my aunt. Who would dare to ask for your things?" It turns out that the old lady Tong has already become famous.

Yuxian and Xiaosi Xiaowu looked at each other and smiled. Although they rarely met the children of their aunt's family, their relationship was better than that of Tong Junjie and the others.Sometimes when they didn't meet each other, Da Lang would find someone to deliver a letter or something strange to Xue Bowen and the others. Just thinking about this time, Da Lang asked them to bring something. "Big cousin, second cousin, my elder brother and the others asked you to bring some things. After dinner, I'll get them for you." Da Lang and the others couldn't buy the things they brought.

As soon as they heard that Da Lang and the others had something to bring, the three boys of Xue's family couldn't stay still, and hurriedly finished their meal and went back to the Chrysanthemum Courtyard with Tong's brothers and sisters, not even waiting for Wu and Fang.Arriving at the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, in Xiao Si and Xiao Wu's room, Xiao Si took out a bundle and took things out one by one from the inside.There are tusks of wild boars, horns of roe deer, pen holders dug out from tree roots, pine cone bears made of pine cones, and squirrel books that take out the flesh and bones of little squirrels and stuff them with cotton and spices.The most beautiful is the use of white pebbles, on which landscapes, flowers and birds are painted with various colors of paint.Everything makes the three brothers like it very much.

"Second brother, look, this is a gift, and the recipient must really like it." Bowen said with a smile to Boyuan.

"Brother, what you said is really easy. Apart from the patterns designed by the second cousin, who else can make these things with the skillful hands of the first cousin? I dare say that this is the only one in the whole city." Bo Yuan likes it I wish I could keep them all, but fortunately, Da Lang prepared three copies of everything, otherwise he would have to fight.

Yuxian watched the three brothers dividing up the gadgets in front of her eyes, her mind was already in the bamboo courtyard, she didn't know what happened to her little uncle's investigation, if she couldn't find out, it would be really dangerous.

Early the next morning, before Yuxian got up, she heard the mess outside, and got up quickly. Hong Shao was already waiting outside, and came in when she heard the movement inside. "Sister Hongshao, what's going on outside? It's such a mess." Yuxian asked.

"Miss, people from the Bamboo Court said this morning that a snake had entered Madam's room last night. Madam was bitten by a snake and her life was in critical condition. Just now, the wife and grandma rushed over." Hong Shao said to Yu Yu Xian rolled her eyes.

Yuxian understood that it must be the idea of ​​the auntie and his wife. Grandma and mother are from everyone, so they should be able to cooperate well in this scene, "Sister Hongshao, please clean up for me quickly, I have to Go see my aunt." The tone was extremely anxious.

"Yes, miss." Hong Shao helped Yuxian to dress and wash, and ran directly to the bamboo courtyard when she was done.When I arrived at the bamboo courtyard, I saw a lot of people coming in and out. Yuxian found her mother Fang, and saw her mother standing pale outside her aunt's bedroom with an anxious expression on her face. "Mother, don't worry, Auntie will be fine." Yuxian shook her mother's hand, and felt her mother shake her back.

"Your grandma is staying with you in the house, so I don't know what's going on?" Fang said anxiously.

At this moment, Xue Jinyu accompanied a doctor out of the house, "Master Xue, my medical skills are shallow, and I can only do this. Whether the honorable lady can be saved depends entirely on her fate." The doctor shook his head, Sighed and left.

As soon as Fang heard this, she shook for a while and then fainted. Hong He hurriedly supported her and shouted, "Hurry up, Grandma Tong has fainted." The doctor hadn't gone far when he was called back again. A group of people brought Fang back to the Chrysanthemum Court.Yu Xian followed back to the Chrysanthemum Courtyard, watched the doctor feel her mother's pulse and thought: "Mother's acting skills are really good, she will faint if she says it."

"This lady is pregnant, and her qi and blood are weak. She has been a little tired these days, and she is too sad, so she fainted. I will prescribe some medicine and adjust it. Just pay more attention Her emotions." The doctor said over his pulse.

"Excuse me, doctor, Sister Hongshao, you can follow the doctor to get the medicine." Yuxian said as she sent the doctor off.

Bilian in the bamboo courtyard has been in a coma, and Fang's family in the chrysanthemum courtyard is also not well, which made the old lady Wu so anxious that she didn't know what to do. Later, the old lady also fell ill, and the whole Xue family was in a gloomy state.Xue Jinyu roared angrily, and ordered people to search the garden to see if there were any other snakes.Then someone said that the snake was not from the local area, and someone should have brought it in from outside. Xue Jinyu was furious and asked people to search from room to room to see if they could find anything.After a busy day like this, I didn't find any useful clues.But Bilian's aura became weaker and weaker. In the end, Jinyu stood by Bilian's side, holding her hand and never leaving her.The three children of the Xue family went out with the old lady Zheng early this morning.

"Cousin, you don't eat or drink like this is not a solution. Cousin is already like this. If you fall down again, what will Bowen do?" The woman Yuxian saw while eating came in with a bowl of chicken soup. Persuading Xue Jinyu, "Cousin, this is the chicken soup I cooked myself, please drink some."

"Wen He, it's you. I can't eat it, so let it go." Jinyu held Bilian's hand without even raising her head.

"Cousin, I've spent all afternoon working on this, just drink some," Wen He didn't give up, and brought the chicken soup to Jinyu, "Cousin, your body is important."

"I said I can't drink it, don't you understand?" Xue Jinyu waved Wen He's hand away, and the chicken soup spilled on the ground.

"Cousin, I really care about you. Cousin is already like this, why can't you accept me?" Wen He rushed to Jinyu's side and hugged Jinyu. "Cousin, I like you."

Xue Jinyu broke away from Wen He, and pointed at the door: "Get out, I don't want to see you, get out." As he spoke, he pushed Wen He out.

Wen He bumped her waist against the corner of the table, and she didn't care to see how she bumped, so she threw herself at Jinyu's side again, "Cousin, why don't you like me, I'm younger, prettier, and younger than her." Good family background, I fell in love with you since the first time I saw you, why can't you take a good look at me?" Wen He lay on Jin Yu's lap, crying uncontrollably.

Xue Jinyu seemed to calm down her emotions, "Wenhe, you go, I won't like you, never will, if Bilian leaves, I will go with her. She is so afraid of the dark, Huangquan Road Now, she will be scared, I want to accompany her." Said, looking at the unconscious Bilian with dazed eyes.

Wen He saw his gaze, knew what Jin Yu said was true, got up and stumbled away.
