my wishful wolf

Chapter 104

Jing An stayed in the east courtyard until midnight before going back to his room.Immediately, the maids and servants in the east courtyard closed the courtyard door and went to rest.Yue'e originally wanted to put Xiaoha in the yard, but because there was no kennel and she loved it so much, she couldn't bear it to be outside in the cold, so she told him to stay in her room first.

As a personal servant girl, Xiaokui slept in the outer room, and the other servants went to their respective places.

Xiaokui waited for Yue'e to go to bed, and then went. Yue'e fell on the bed. Although it was a high bed warm pillow, the cold wind outside could not get in at all, and there was a stove, which made it as warm as spring. However, she couldn't sleep well. It's because I first arrived in a different place, but secondly, I have infinite worries, overlapping and unclear.

Jing An's mood when he came here at night, although he didn't mention it.Yue'e also guessed in her heart that to make him lose his composure, it must be something related to her that has changed.

Before coming, Yue'e had thought about all the situations.Even worst-case scenarios.Therefore, before she came, she hesitated in every possible way, entangled in helplessness, and was quite sad.

But there is nothing to do at this moment, people have come here, what can I say, I can only go to the countryside and do as the Romans do, since I have come, I will be at ease, one step at a time.

Therefore, even if things really showed the worst side, Yue'e would not be surprised, because she had already thought of it beforehand.Therefore, it will comfort Jing An instead.

Yue'e thought for a long time, from Xie Jing'an's painstaking efforts, to the strangeness of meeting Xie Dongyan for the first time, and even that lady who is as beautiful as a fairy... As she thought about it, she sighed for a while, her mind was sober, she couldn't sleep, she tossed and turned, like this In the middle of the night, Yue'e suddenly heard Xiaoha's low cry.

At first Yue'e didn't take it seriously, she just thought that Xiaoha had a nightmare, but later, she heard Xiaoha get angry, at first she just lay down on the ground, then she jumped up, rushed to the door, and yelled outside.

Late at night, everything was silent, and the sound of dogs barking was extremely clear and thrilling.

Yue'e was startled at this point, hurriedly got up from the bed, got off the ground, and shouted: "Xiaoha!" While stroking its back vigorously, while looking outside nervously, not knowing what happened.

While barking, Xiao Ha kept moving, as if trying to break free. At this moment, Xiao Kui and other servant girls outside also woke up, and voices came one after another.

In the darkness, Yue'e could only hear her heart beating wildly, so she hugged Xiaoha tightly. After a while, someone came to open the door and said, "How is your lady?" Walking in with a lit candle, the maids behind were also at the door, and they all said, "What's going on? Why is the dog barking all the time?"

Xiaokui entered the door, saw Yue'e on the ground, was startled, and hurriedly helped Yue'e up. At this moment, Xiao Ha was screaming, struggling desperately, and seemed to want to go out, Yue'e yelled a few times, and Xiao Ha stopped. It's gone, just turning around around her legs, as if very anxious.

Xiaokui helped Yue'e to the bedside, and asked, "My lady, what happened?" Yue'e pressed her chest and said, "I don't know, but Xiaoha cried out." After a pause, she asked, "" You are outside, can you find something wrong?"

Xiaokui thought for a while, then shook her head and said: "There is nothing wrong with it, the servant girl is asleep, and when she heard the dog barking urgently, she got up quickly to have a look."

Yue'e looked down at Xiaoha who was still staring at the door with her ears up, nodded and said, "I see, you can ask someone to go out of the yard and take a look. If there is nothing wrong, everyone should rest." Aoi agreed to go.

After this time, Yue'e couldn't fall asleep anymore, although the man who looked after the yard went out for a walk, and there was no abnormality, but Yue'e already had something on her mind, so where could she sleep?The candles on the table were also kept burning.Fortunately, Xiaoha was lying in front of the bed, but he calmed down.

When it was almost dawn, Yue'e finally closed her eyes, and Xiaokui came in dimly, looked at it, and went out again.After a while, someone came in again and sat gently by the bed, but Xiao Ha didn't cry.

Yue'e opened her eyes and saw that it was Jing'an, she looked at her and said, "What happened last night, I heard it was not quiet here?" Yue'e got up hurriedly, rubbed her eyes, and said, "I don't know, in the middle of the night Xiaoha Seeing her red eyes and pity her, Jing An hugged her and said, "Did you sleep well?" Yue'e said, "Don't worry, it's fine. " Even so, he couldn't help but yawned.

Jing An smiled, saw that she hadn't slept enough, she looked drowsy, she was so cute like never before, and felt that her body was warm with a faint fragrance, so he couldn't help but kissed her on the forehead and said: "I'll say hello to my mother later, and then I'll go out to the yamen. You stay at home and wait for me to come back. If you don't feel well, you can sleep a little longer, okay?"

Yue'e nodded and said: "Be careful when you go out..." Jing An touched her face and agreed: "Yes, so I will go out first."

Jing An went out and called Xiao Kui to ask about last night, Xiao Kui also told the truth.Jing An then went outside, walked around the courtyard, saw nothing, and left the East courtyard, seeing Zhou Da and others waiting, Jing An said: "The dog barks suddenly at night, do you think what's going on?"

Zhou Da said: "If it wasn't for the cats and dogs running around outside, or it was something wrong, for example, a stranger passed by, etc."

Jing An's footsteps stopped, and he pondered for a while.Zhou Da asked: "Why did Lord Hou ask such a question?" Jing An said: "Xiaoha yelled for a while last night..." Zhou Da frowned and remained silent.

After a while, Jing An thought it over and said hesitantly: "Now I regret asking Yue'er to stay in the mansion." Zhou Da said sullenly: "Even if she is outside the mansion, it may not be complete." Jing An Hearing this, he looked at Zhou Da, who bowed his head and said, "This subordinate made a slip of the tongue."

Jing An was worried, and said: "It's not right, I have to think of a perfect plan." After he said that, he just thought about it, and walked for a while, he was almost at Madam Xie's place, Zhou Da and others had to wait outside again, Jing An said: "You first Go out and wait for me outside." Zhou Da took the order and left.

Jing An went inside, it turned out that Madam Xie woke up very early in the morning, she had to go to the Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha for an hour before returning, now she has already returned, and she stopped after eating.

Jing'an entered, saluted and met before getting up.Mrs. Xie said, "Are you going to the Yamen?"

Jing An agrees.Mrs. Xie said again: "What happened to what you told Dong Yan yesterday?"

Jing An was depressed when he heard the words, and said for a moment: "Mother, this matter is embarrassing, elder brother actually forbids me to marry Yue Niang."

Mrs. Xie nodded when she heard the words, and said: "I didn't agree to you outright at that time, that's because I was afraid of it. Dongyan is rigorous by nature, how could he lightly accept a person who was brought back by you, so I ask you to ask him first. he."

Jing An lowered his head and said: "Mother, how can I make brother change his mind?"

Mrs. Xie said: "Don't be in a hurry, you know, this matter is related to your life, Dong Yan is also worried about you, that's why, after all, he is a brother, how can he not love you? According to me, you are temporarily Put Miss Yue at home, and then slowly persuade Dong Yan in the future, and I will persuade him from the side, after all, he will change his mind."

Jing An was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, mother, for making this happen."

Mrs. Xie took a sip of tea and said: "Don't get too excited too early, I don't know your temper yet?...It is said that it is the righteous sister of the guard, who knows where you got it Well, it's just that I think she was born well, she looks gentle, she is a heart-warming person, and she has a perfect heart, but you also understand Dongyan's temper, and he is in Dali Temple, what can't be found out? What if he Careful, if you ask me, you have to be more careful... You must only say that you are the righteous sister of the guard. In this case, you can cover up when you get married in the future. If there is something wrong with Dong Yan and Dong Yan finds out, then A mother can't help you anymore, but will stand by Dongyan's side."

Jing An was startled, thought for a while, and said: "Mother, I understand."

Mrs. Xie nodded and said, "It's good that you understand, well, it's getting late, you can go."

Jing An nodded, before leaving, he said: "Mother, Yue'er is a bit uncomfortable when she comes to Beijing for the first time, if there is something impolite, please forgive me."

Mrs. Xie nodded and sighed, "Your child, you're just protecting her before you get married? Well, I know she's the one in your heart, so I won't embarrass her."

Jing An felt relieved, turned around and went out.

Besides, after Jing An went out, Yue E couldn't fall asleep, so she got up, Xiao Kui saw her get up, and persuaded her: "It's okay for you to sleep a little longer, Master Hou told you to get along before he left, don't let us quarrel .”

Yue'e said: "I've had enough sleep." Seeing this, Xiaokui ordered someone to bring up the washing things. Yue'e washed her face, wiped her hands and face, and Xiaokui helped her comb her hair and make up.

After Yue'e was dressed, breakfast was served over there. Yue'e ate a few mouthfuls and had no appetite.I fed Xiaoha again, and watched him running around in the yard, but he was also idle.

After another half an hour, someone came to the gate of the courtyard. After entering, he said: "Madam sent a servant to see if Madam is awake."

Xiaokui said: "What's the matter?" The man said: "If you don't get up, don't bother me. If you get up, please come and sit down."

Yue'e got up when she heard the words, followed by Xiaokui and a little maid, and went towards Mrs. Xie's residence together.

After turning a few turns, I arrived in a short while. After entering the door, I saluted upwards. Mrs. Xie said: "Don't be so polite, come and sit next to me." Yue'e got up and went to Mrs. Xie's side. It was only on the warm kang, sister Ying took a wool mat and put it on the side, and Yue'e sat there obliquely.

Madam Xie on the opposite side said: "It's cold outside, Ying'er, get some jujube tea." Sister Ying agreed, and went to tell the girl.Only then did Mrs. Xie ask, "Did you sleep well last night?" Yue'e said, "Thank you Ma'am, it was very good." Mrs. Xie looked at her, and then said, "I'm afraid you're new here, you're not used to it for a while, and you're still worried. Jing An is also extremely concerned."

Yue'e lowered her head and said: "I'm still used to it." Mrs. Xie said: "I see that your child is sensible, not those flamboyant and flamboyant ones. Even if he is born well, Dao Jing'an likes it."

Yue'e said: "Madam praised you."

At this moment, Sister Ying brought the tea, put it away, and stepped aside, Madam Xie said again: "Don't restrain yourself in front of me, because Jing'an is good to you, and I said that again yesterday. In other words, I know his thoughts, so I treat you as my own family. Besides, how can I not know the temper of my own child? Although Jing'an hides it in front of me and behaves well, I know that he You can't keep your peace of mind if you guard someone else—you must have suffered from him, right?"

Yue'e was taken aback, still not sure if what Mrs. Xie said was true, so she raised her head to look at her.Mrs. Xie smiled and said, "You don't have to be shy, I can see it myself." Although the smile is kind, the eyes are somewhat interesting.

Only now did Yue'e confirm that she was indeed talking about that matter, so she just lowered her head, what can she say at this moment?
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Xie said: "Anyway, you will be a member of my Xie family sooner or later, so it doesn't matter if I say these things, let alone Jing An's fault, I can't blame you at all, don't be shy. ... You are a good boy, I can see that. Come on, drink some tea to warm up your body first. I think you look good, but you are a bit delicate and weak. When you really get married in the future, you will have to give our Xie family a little something. A man and a half woman, his body is too weak, but he can't do it."

After hearing this, Yue'e felt very ashamed at first, but then she thought of something in her mind, and she couldn't help being a little surprised, but she always kept silent, but she was very cold, she had to bite the bullet and said, "Thank you Madam for taking care of me." Taking a sip of the tea, she felt that the jujube fragrance was tangy, and it tasted very good, but Yue'e was afraid of being rude, so she only took a small sip and put it down.

Mrs. Xie saw that Yue'e was cautious, and said: "You are not familiar with it when you first come here, so let's talk about it slowly in the future. Although the east courtyard you live in is clean, it is far away from here and has not been lived in for a long time. If there is anything you need, if it is lacking, you can just order someone to get it, if there is a maid who is disobedient, you can also send someone back, I have my own explanation. I will never wrong you. "

Yue'e will thank you again.After Mrs. Xie said this, she said: "Okay, I'm actually worried that there are only two sons and no daughter to talk to. The people that Jing'an recruited earlier all looked frivolous. I don't like it. Now As long as you are my own family... Well, you can go back too, the future will last forever, if you have something to say, let's talk about it slowly."

Yue'e bid farewell to Mrs. Xie, went out of the big room, went outside, saw Xiaokui was still waiting, picked up Yue'e, and said, "Lady, what did Madam say to you?" Yue'e recalled what Mrs. Xie said Those words... just said: "It's just gossip, let's go back."

Xiaokui supported Yue'e back and walked back. Halfway there, a wind blew up suddenly, making the sound of tigers whistling, and the dust on the ground was flying around, blinding her eyes. Yue'e took out a handkerchief to wipe, and Xiaokui He helped Yue'e to shelter from the wind, and when he walked in a hurry, his feet were bumped, and the veil flew out.

Xiaokui exclaimed, and turned to get it, but saw the handkerchief flickering in the wind, turning around a field of flowers, and falling on the ground, a man was bending down slowly, picking up the handkerchief.

Xiaokui hastily saluted, and said, "Young Master!" Yue'e saw Xie Dongyan in an official uniform, and she didn't know where he came from or where he was going, and he was standing there holding the square handkerchief, Look uncertain.
