Following the screams in the main room and the intermittent crying at the end, Jinxiu tried to rush in several times but was stopped by Xiaogui.Xiaogui said: "Are you going in there to seek death?! Sister Yuanyang's identity is different now. What the governor wants to do...it's all right."
Of course Jinxiu also understands this truth - but, for some reason today, Yuanyang, who was originally staying in the mansion normally, came back from Xichang with the Governor.After she came back, her complexion was surprisingly bad, and she talked to Yuanyang afterwards, but Yuanyang didn't answer, and asked someone to prepare hot water for her to take a bath.While she was taking a bath, the governor sent for the imperial physician.How could Jinxiu not be worried when these strange things happened?What's even more strange is that Governor Du waited for a while and didn't see Yuanyang coming, so he went directly to her room.Afterwards, they wrapped the mandarin ducks in a blanket and went to the main house without anyone waiting on them.
When the imperial doctor came out, she secretly asked the imperial doctor, and said that Yuanyang's body was fine, but she was just a little frightened.She was talking with the imperial doctor, when suddenly there was a scream from the main room - the imperial doctor turned pale, apparently not daring to interfere with the affairs of the factory governor's mansion, said her farewell, and left in a hurry.
Afterwards, Jinxiu wanted to go to the main house to see the mandarin ducks.But Xiaogui stopped him, and Xiaogui said that the governor ordered that no one should be allowed to approach.While Jinxiu was afraid of Yuhuatian, she was also worried about Yuanyang.
Suddenly, the sound in the room disappeared.Yu Huatian also came out of the house, saw the two of them were there, and said, "Go and boil the medicine."
Both of them were taken aback for a moment, Xiaogui reacted the quickest, immediately responded and ran down.
Yuhuatian glanced at Jinxiu at this moment, and said, "Go in and serve her."
After finishing speaking, Yu Huatian didn't enter the house by himself, but went to the study instead.As soon as he left, Jinxiu ran into the house, only to see Yuanyang lying quietly on the bed in a lewd garment.There is nothing unusual, but his face is a little pale, and his forehead is also sweating.Only then did Jinxiu breathe a sigh of relief, and when she went out, someone brought a basin of hot water, intending to wipe Yuanyang's face.
The mandarin duck woke up again, it was dusk.She looked around with some difficulty, only to see that she was in a strange room.The room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and she heard someone whispering.
"Sister Jinxiu, what's wrong with my sister?"
"Sister Yuanyang just caught a cold and was frightened. The imperial doctor said that nothing happened."
"But..." This was the voice of little brother Jin.They entered the room while talking, and saw that Yuanyang had already woken up, and the younger brother also forgot what he was going to say next, and ran to Yuanyang's bed in a few steps, and said, "Sister, are you awake?!"
The younger brother slowly helped Yuanyang up, Yuanyang felt that the scene was very unreal, she touched the younger brother's face, feeling the warmth in the palm of her hand, Fang said: "... Am I dreaming?"
Younger brother and Jinxiu looked at each other, Jinxiu smiled, and said, "Sister Yuanyang, of course you are not dreaming. It was the governor who asked you to go home to rest, and also said that I would come to my sister's house to serve her." Having said that, she Then he said angrily, "Speaking of which, it's all because of that assassin!"
Yuanyang thought: So they don't know what happened to me, but that's fine...
Jinxiu thought that she had brought up the female assassin and reminded Yuanyang of something bad, so she hurriedly said, "By the way, sister Yuanyang! The governor even returned the contract of sale to you! The aunt and uncle have already returned the contract of sale to you." Burned! Sister is finally out of citizenship!"
Yuanyang's eyes turned red, and she choked up with sobs: "...what you said...is it true?"
Jinxiu nodded her head desperately, and said, "My little brother also knows about it!"
Younger brother Jin was not as happy as Jinxiu, he nodded hesitantly, his eyes struggled, and said: "The emperor bestowed a marriage... of course he won't marry a slave wife..."
Yuanyang was startled—yes, why did she forget about this matter.The wedding date is just over twenty days away, and it looks like this day is coming soon, Yuhuatian... She got out of slavery today, and returned home today, but for the next few decades... she still wants to be in the factory governor's mansion where to spend?Thinking of this, Yuanyang lowered his head again, feeling bitter in his heart.
The younger brother knew that he had said something wrong, so he looked at Jinxiu very helplessly.
Jinxiu doesn't know how to comfort others - besides, from Jinxiu's point of view, Yuanyang's marriage to Yuhuatian is really ruined.
The two are feeling guilty and helpless.But Yuanyang raised his head and asked them with a smile: "Where are Dad and Mom? I'm sick, and I don't see them coming to see me."
The two of Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw each other.Jinxiu said: "Uncle seems to have gone out. As for the aunt, she made noodles in the kitchen, saying that my sister must be hungry when she wakes up."
Yuanyang hummed and said with a smile, "But I'm really hungry."
As soon as Yuanyang finished speaking, Aunt Jin came into the house carrying noodles.Aunt Jin looked very haggard, she was usually a neat woman, but at this moment, her hair was a little messy and her eyes were cloudy.Seeing Yuanyang woke up, she immediately laughed and said, "Ninny, you're awake. Coincidentally, Auntie just made noodles, do you want to eat?"
"...Mother." Yuanyang called, and then just nodded.Aunt Jin said to the two of Jinxiu: "Miss Jinxiu, it's hard for you to take care of our girl. You are also hungry for most of the day. Brother, take Miss Jinxiu to eat some noodles. I have prepared it for you and put it in the kitchen .”
Jinxiu said: "Ma'am, don't call me a girl. Just call me Jinxiu."
Aunt Jin snorted, and looked at Jinxiu kindly.Jinxiu thanked again, and then left with Jin Xiaodi.
"Ninny, come on, be careful." Aunt Jin helped the mandarin duck sit up halfway, then brought the noodles and said, "I'm worried that it will be hot."
As she spoke, she picked up the noodles and fed them to the mandarin ducks.Yuanyang said: "Aniang, I'll do it myself. You...you are tired too."
Aunt Jin said: "Auntie is not tired. Auntie is happier than anyone else when she sees her daughter back home. How can she be tired?"
"Hey." Yuanyang lowered his head slightly, and took a bite of the noodles that Aunt Jin brought.Aunt Jin looked at the mandarin ducks and said, "I used to feed you like this. At that time, you were still very small... I didn't expect that my daughter would grow into a big girl in a blink of an eye."
Yuanyang's throat felt sour, and he only let out an "eh", and couldn't say any more unnecessary words.
Seeing the mandarin duck's appearance, Aunt Jin didn't mention the uncomfortable things anymore, she just said: "Ninny, your father and I have considered what you said last time when you went home. We think what you said is also reasonable, you Dad is just going out today to look at a few stores."
"Then what do Father and Mother want to do?"
Aunt Jin said: "Hey, we don't have any other skills, we plan to open a shop selling food."
"This is good. The noodles made by Auntie are delicious." Yuanyang smiled obediently, and said, "Then Auntie and Apa have enough capital to open a shop?" Huatian served her, but Yuhuatian never rewarded her with anything.He didn't continue talking.
Aunt Jin said: "You don't have to worry about it." She brushed the broken hair from the mandarin duck's ear to the back of the ear, and said, "Ninny, I see that you are sweating all over, auntie, go to boil some hot water. Can you wipe your body for you?"
Yuanyang immediately panicked and said: "No!"
Aunt Jin was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the mandarin duck in puzzlement.Yuanyangqing knew that she had reacted too violently, so she lowered her head slightly and said, "Mother, I'm still not feeling well. I'm afraid I'll get cold again."
Aunt Jin laughed and said, "It's because I didn't think it through."
The mother and daughter talked again.Because it was getting late, Mrs. Jin went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.Younger brother Jin took a book to read in the mandarin duck's room, and Jinxiu also robbed Aunt Jin's embroidery to do it, and the three of them stayed together to relieve the mandarin duck's boredom.
In the evening, Papa Jin came back, and after having dinner together, Papa Jin told Yuanyang that he had taken a fancy to a shop, and if there were no accidents, it would be settled soon.Yuanyang asked again, but Papa Jin didn't say anything, because he felt that Yuanyang was at home sick and refused to tell her about these troubles.He also said that when Yuanyang recovered from his illness, he would take her to see the shop together.
Because there are not enough rooms at home, Jinxiu and Yuanyang sleep in the same room.At night, Jinxiu couldn't sleep, so she said: "Sister Yuanyang, tell me, if I also have parents, it would be great."
Yuanyang turned sideways, facing her, and said: "Then I will share half of you, father and mother?"
Jinxiu giggled, "Of course I am willing. But each individual has his or her own destiny and destiny. I don't force it."
"Okay, then I'll ask them tomorrow if they want you to have an extra daughter." Yuanyang blinked.
Jin Xiu smiled and said: "Such a good father and mother, I am afraid that my sister will not bear it."
Yuanyang said angrily: "It's not like I sold them to you, it's a good idea!" She tapped Jinxiu's forehead with her hand, then lifted the quilt to get up.Jin Xiu asked: "It's so late, where is sister going?"
"Go ask A Niang and the others..." Seeing that Jinxiu was in a hurry, she smiled and said, "There are three urgencies in people, can I go to the toilet?"
"Go, go, always bury me!"
Yuanyang pursed her lips and smiled, put on a dress and went out.Walking halfway, I remembered that I didn't take the candle. Seeing Aunt Jin's house was still lit from a distance, I thought, Father and the others haven't slept yet, why don't we ask Auntie where the candle is placed.
Approaching their house, I only heard Aunt Jin talking in the room: "... I don't know what sin we have done, why is this child so miserable... If we do sin, God just let us bear it, why bother to embarrass this child !"
Yuanyang stopped and stood quietly in the darkness.
Father Jin sighed and said, "It's useless to blame me. Let the three of you, mother and son, suffer."
"It's all life...it's all life!"
After a while, Father Jin said: "Okay, don't cry now. Hurry up and let the child see your red eyes, she may be very uncomfortable! This child, Hei Ya, has been good since he was a child. I have suffered Suffering, all in my heart, and I didn’t say a word to us. This time, the emperor gave me a marriage, and no one can do anything about it! She may be suffering in her heart, so don’t make trouble! Take advantage of the few days when the child is at home, spend more time with her Be with her and make her happy."
Aunt Jin said: "Old man, why don't we take our daughters and run away! We can't run to the ends of the earth, and that superintendent will chase him to the ends of the earth!"
Papa Jin was silent for a long time.Aunt Jin suddenly cried: "What kind of evil is this? What is he doing with a eunuch marrying a wife? It's not good to marry anyone, but to marry our daughter! Isn't this a disaster?!"
Father Jin patted Aunt Jin's back repeatedly, and said weakly, "Don't cry..."
Yuanyang was silent, planning to go back to her room to get a candle, but when she turned around, she saw the same silent little brother Jin.The siblings looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.In the end, the younger brother brought a candle to the mandarin duck, and after the mandarin duck came out, he thoughtfully brought hot water to the mandarin duck to clean his hands.
"Sister, if it weren't for me...you wouldn't have gone to Laoshizichang Governor's Mansion. Today there would be no such situation. I know Father and the others are jealous of me so I don't take my sister away. I'm not afraid of anything! As long as my sister can get out of the clutches !"
"Why do you think so?" Yuanyang lowered her head and said shyly, "I just like Lord Governor."
Little brother Jin was startled, then blushed quickly, hesitated and couldn't speak, and finally, coughed lightly, and fled away.Yuanyang looked at the back of the younger brother leaving, and sighed softly.What Yuanyang didn't know was that in the darkness, a figure moved slightly, and was writing down something quickly with a pen in his hand.And the next day, there was an additional letter on Yuhuatian's desk——at the end of the letter, there was clearly written a sentence "Madam said: My heart is pleased with the Governor"...
Yuanyang naturally didn't know these things, so he went to the market with Aunt Jin the next day.Because she thought in her heart, the family will not have much time to get together in the future, so she should cherish the present.Splendid is also going the same way.And because Yuanyang and Jinxiu are both young women, they wear veils when they go out.The three of them bought some food and drinks and went home. When passing by an alley, they saw a plain-clothed woman and a masked man head-on.
Yuanyang immediately recognized that these two people were Gu Shaotang and Feng Lidao.She didn't think about anything, she pulled Aunt Jin and Jinxiu to turn around and leave.Then Gu Shaotang said "Hello" a few words, and simply used lightness kung fu to block the way of the mandarin duck.Unexpectedly, when she was about to get close to the mandarin duck, a throwing knife flew from the shadows—Gu Shaotang is a master at using hidden weapons, and such a sneak attack is not her opponent at all.Immediately, she also used a throwing knife and knocked it into the air!The flying knife hit the wall with a crisp sound, Fengli picked it up and said, "It's from Xichang."
"People from Xichang?" Gu Shaotang snorted coldly, "I'll just have a word with this woman, you go to my side!"
There was no movement in the dark, so Gu Shaotang stood there and looked at the mandarin duck.Yuanyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "Xichang", and thought to himself, could it be that after returning home, Yuhuatian sent someone to monitor him in the dark?She didn't turn around either, only to hear Feng Lidao speak first: "Girl, what happened yesterday was purely accidental, and I didn't expect to implicate you."
Gu Shaotang tugged at him, and said to Yuanyang, "Let me just tell you, what I gave you yesterday was not poison."
Yuanyang nodded and said, "My lord asked the imperial doctor to show me yesterday."
Gu Shaotang let out an "oh" and stood on both sides.Only Aunt Jin and Jinxiu frowned and looked at each other. Jinxiu suddenly realized, pointed at Gu Shaotang and said, "It turns out that you, the female bandit, are blackmailing sister Yuanyang!"
"Who are you calling a female bandit?!" Gu Shaotang raised his brows upside down, staring at Jinxiu.Feng Li Dao pulled her and said: "Okay, stop arguing..."
"It's you!" Jinxiu was also a little scared, but she still stuck her neck and said, "It's your fault for kidnapping people! No matter what kind of grievances you have with the governor, my sister Yuanyang, a weak woman, is involved in it, so innocent ?! If it weren't for you, sister Yuanyang would be frightened and sick?! You..."
Gu Shaotang scolded her mother, trying to scare Jinxiu with a throwing knife.Unexpectedly, Jinxiu is also straight-tempered, the more she is like this, the more she refuses to accept: "Why are you so fierce?! Are you capable of abducting people, but not capable of apologizing?!"
Gu Shaotang immediately took out the flying knife, Yuanyang saw her, immediately pulled Jinxiu behind her, and said to Gu Shaotang: "Miss Gu, Mr. Feng, since there is nothing else to do, then I will take my leave."
Aunt Jin was confused and asked, "What happened? What kind of hijacking?" It turned out that Jinxiu didn't tell Aunt Jin about the abduction of Yuanyang by Gu Shaotang, but only said that Yuanyang was sick and went home to recuperate. ——As for little brother Jin, it was because Jinxiu slipped the tongue when talking to him, so he knew about it.
Jinxiu knew she had said the wrong thing, she didn't know how to do it, she only heard the sound of footsteps, and saw Ma Jinliang walking towards here with several Jinyiwei in flying fish suits.He made a slight bow to the mandarin ducks, and said, "I came here to take a look when I heard there was movement here, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"Master Jinliang!" Jinxiu thinks that Ma Jinliang is an excellent person, at least he will be the first to show up whenever he encounters any difficulties.Yuanyang just nodded slightly, and said: "Master Ma, it's nothing, we are planning to go home."
"Then I'll take you back. It's not safe along the way..." Ma Jinliang glanced at Gu Shaotang and the two of them.
Gu Shaotang jumped angrily, but was held back by Fengli Dao.Since Ma Jinliang said he wanted to send them home, Yuanyang didn't refuse.
"Then there will be Mrs. Lao Ma." After finishing speaking, Yuanyang and Aunt Jin, who was stunned, walked in front—because Ma Jinliang has a fierce appearance, and Aunt Jin is a woman, where have you seen him?Yes, a little scared.
Jinxiu deliberately fell behind Yuanyang and the others, and before leaving, she turned her head and raised her veil, making a big face at Gu Shaotang and the others.Gu Shaotang scolded her mother: "This stinky girl! I'll kill her sooner or later!"
After hearing this, Jinxiu raised her head high, snorted, and swaggered deliberately to show Gu Shaotang.Ma Jinliang turned his head and glanced at Gu Shaotang coldly, with a warning in his eyes.After that, he ordered his subordinates to continue patrolling, and personally escorted the three of them.Jinxiu looked at Ma Jinliang curiously, and said, "Master Jinliang, do you patrol here every day?"
Ma Jinliang did not expect that Jinxiu would take the initiative to talk to him, he said: "...No."
Jinxiu let out an "oh", then ran forward and took Yuanyang's arm, walking side by side with Yuanyang.Ma Jinliang glanced at her silently—in fact, he still had some things to say, for example, he is the head of the West Factory, and patrolling is not his duty at all.
Aunt Jin brought up the old story again, and Jinxiu was perfunctory, saying that a female bandit had come to the factory governor's mansion and robbed a little maid. I went to the house, and then, I came out to catch the bandits with everyone...
Yuanyang couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "You're talking nonsense again!"
But Aunt Jin also laughed, although she felt that what Jinxiu said later was very unreliable, but the previous things should be close to each other.Jinxiu giggled, her watery eyes bent into two crescents, full of the innocence and cuteness of a little girl her age.
Ma Jinliang's eyes kept falling on Jinxiu's body - it's been a long time since I saw such a pure laughter and eyes.
After he sent the three mandarin ducks home, Mrs. Jin politely invited him into the house for tea.Ma Jinliang knew that this was being polite, especially that Yuanyang didn't seem to want to see him—he was also present when he took Yuanyang to the prison to watch his sentence yesterday.Although he felt that the governor did nothing wrong, the fault was Yuanyang, but this did not prevent him from speculating on Yuanyang's mind.He declined politely, and Mrs. Jin stopped greeting him.On the contrary, Jinxiu thanked him with a smile. Although she was wearing a veil and couldn't see the expression on her face, those crescent moons were so lovable—it wasn't until they all entered the house and the door was closed that Ma Jinliang turned around. leave.And his beautiful voice and smile still lingered in his mind.
The three of Yuanyang entered the yard, and heard a gentle male voice explaining the "Book of Songs" to the younger brother.
"...The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the side of the water. If you follow them back, the road is long and obstructed. If you follow them back, you will be in the middle of the water." He said, "This is what the people love in their hearts. He wanted to go upstream to find her, but the road was long and obstructed. He wanted to swim downstream to find her, but she seemed to be in the middle of the water...unreachable, far away..."
The younger brother asked: "Cousin, I can't find Yiren even after traveling back and forth, why don't you just go there by boat?"
He coughed lightly, and said: "It's too abrupt for the beauty."
When they said this, Aunt Jin said, "Changsheng, what are you talking about with my younger brother? What about Yirenjiaren?"
This man was Ye Changsheng, the cousin of the Ye family.After the Jin family moved out of the Ye family, the two families still had some contacts.Mother Ye made some pork belly and asked him to bring a bowl to the Jin family.After he entered the room, he heard his younger brother talk about the return of the mandarin duck. For a moment, he remembered that the mandarin duck had been married to the governor of the West Factory by the imperial decree. ... So I stayed here to teach my younger brother to read.
"My nephew has met my aunt." Ye Changsheng immediately stood up and saluted Aunt Jin politely.
"You are too polite, kid!" Aunt Jin laughed.Tell him to just sit down, you don't have to be polite.Ye Changsheng let out an "ah", but he didn't dare to look at the mandarin duck, and sat obediently across from his younger brother.The younger brother has greeted both Yuanyang and Jinxiu.After all, men and women are different, Aunt Jin told Ye Changsheng to eat dinner before leaving, and took the couple to the kitchen.
Ye Changsheng didn't know what he was thinking, left and right, he didn't listen to Aunt Jin's words at all.What Aunt Jin said, he just nodded.
The three mandarin ducks were working in the kitchen, and Mrs. Jin felt that Ye Changsheng was a good young man.But that's all there is to it, nothing more to say.After a long time, Mrs. Jin saw that it was getting late, and because she was cooking, she couldn't leave for a while, so she asked Yuanyang to ask her younger brother to stop reading, so as not to hurt their eyes.The mandarin duck responded and went instead.
I just went to the yard, but I didn't see little brother Jin, only Ye Changsheng stared blankly at the bright moon on the top of willows after dusk.Seeing this, Yuanyang naturally wanted to avoid it, turned slightly sideways, and asked, "Excuse me, cousin, may I ask where did you go?"
Ye Changsheng almost trembled when he heard the haunting voice, and said hesitantly: "...Little brother, I haven't come back from going to the bathroom yet."
"Oh." Yuanyang said again, "Mother said it's getting late, cousin and younger brother don't read books, so as not to hurt their eyes."
After saying this, Yuanyang was slightly blessed and left.Ye Changsheng's throat was dry, and he felt waves of bitterness in his heart.He stood up in a strange way, and walked to the place where the mandarin ducks were standing, only to see a light purple veil lying on the ground - a pair of mandarin ducks were playing in the water on the veil, lifelike.
Of course Jinxiu also understands this truth - but, for some reason today, Yuanyang, who was originally staying in the mansion normally, came back from Xichang with the Governor.After she came back, her complexion was surprisingly bad, and she talked to Yuanyang afterwards, but Yuanyang didn't answer, and asked someone to prepare hot water for her to take a bath.While she was taking a bath, the governor sent for the imperial physician.How could Jinxiu not be worried when these strange things happened?What's even more strange is that Governor Du waited for a while and didn't see Yuanyang coming, so he went directly to her room.Afterwards, they wrapped the mandarin ducks in a blanket and went to the main house without anyone waiting on them.

Afterwards, Jinxiu wanted to go to the main house to see the mandarin ducks.But Xiaogui stopped him, and Xiaogui said that the governor ordered that no one should be allowed to approach.While Jinxiu was afraid of Yuhuatian, she was also worried about Yuanyang.
Suddenly, the sound in the room disappeared.Yu Huatian also came out of the house, saw the two of them were there, and said, "Go and boil the medicine."
Both of them were taken aback for a moment, Xiaogui reacted the quickest, immediately responded and ran down.
Yuhuatian glanced at Jinxiu at this moment, and said, "Go in and serve her."
After finishing speaking, Yu Huatian didn't enter the house by himself, but went to the study instead.As soon as he left, Jinxiu ran into the house, only to see Yuanyang lying quietly on the bed in a lewd garment.There is nothing unusual, but his face is a little pale, and his forehead is also sweating.Only then did Jinxiu breathe a sigh of relief, and when she went out, someone brought a basin of hot water, intending to wipe Yuanyang's face.
The mandarin duck woke up again, it was dusk.She looked around with some difficulty, only to see that she was in a strange room.The room was filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, and she heard someone whispering.
"Sister Jinxiu, what's wrong with my sister?"
"Sister Yuanyang just caught a cold and was frightened. The imperial doctor said that nothing happened."
"But..." This was the voice of little brother Jin.They entered the room while talking, and saw that Yuanyang had already woken up, and the younger brother also forgot what he was going to say next, and ran to Yuanyang's bed in a few steps, and said, "Sister, are you awake?!"
The younger brother slowly helped Yuanyang up, Yuanyang felt that the scene was very unreal, she touched the younger brother's face, feeling the warmth in the palm of her hand, Fang said: "... Am I dreaming?"
Younger brother and Jinxiu looked at each other, Jinxiu smiled, and said, "Sister Yuanyang, of course you are not dreaming. It was the governor who asked you to go home to rest, and also said that I would come to my sister's house to serve her." Having said that, she Then he said angrily, "Speaking of which, it's all because of that assassin!"
Yuanyang thought: So they don't know what happened to me, but that's fine...

Yuanyang's eyes turned red, and she choked up with sobs: "...what you said...is it true?"
Jinxiu nodded her head desperately, and said, "My little brother also knows about it!"

The two of Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief when they saw each other.Jinxiu said: "Uncle seems to have gone out. As for the aunt, she made noodles in the kitchen, saying that my sister must be hungry when she wakes up."
Yuanyang hummed and said with a smile, "But I'm really hungry."
As soon as Yuanyang finished speaking, Aunt Jin came into the house carrying noodles.Aunt Jin looked very haggard, she was usually a neat woman, but at this moment, her hair was a little messy and her eyes were cloudy.Seeing Yuanyang woke up, she immediately laughed and said, "Ninny, you're awake. Coincidentally, Auntie just made noodles, do you want to eat?"
"...Mother." Yuanyang called, and then just nodded.Aunt Jin said to the two of Jinxiu: "Miss Jinxiu, it's hard for you to take care of our girl. You are also hungry for most of the day. Brother, take Miss Jinxiu to eat some noodles. I have prepared it for you and put it in the kitchen .”
Jinxiu said: "Ma'am, don't call me a girl. Just call me Jinxiu."
Aunt Jin snorted, and looked at Jinxiu kindly.Jinxiu thanked again, and then left with Jin Xiaodi.
"Ninny, come on, be careful." Aunt Jin helped the mandarin duck sit up halfway, then brought the noodles and said, "I'm worried that it will be hot."

Yuanyang immediately panicked and said: "No!"
Aunt Jin was taken aback for a moment, and looked at the mandarin duck in puzzlement.Yuanyangqing knew that she had reacted too violently, so she lowered her head slightly and said, "Mother, I'm still not feeling well. I'm afraid I'll get cold again."

The mother and daughter talked again.Because it was getting late, Mrs. Jin went to the kitchen to prepare dinner for the evening.Younger brother Jin took a book to read in the mandarin duck's room, and Jinxiu also robbed Aunt Jin's embroidery to do it, and the three of them stayed together to relieve the mandarin duck's boredom.

Jinxiu giggled, "Of course I am willing. But each individual has his or her own destiny and destiny. I don't force it."
"Okay, then I'll ask them tomorrow if they want you to have an extra daughter." Yuanyang blinked.
Jin Xiu smiled and said: "Such a good father and mother, I am afraid that my sister will not bear it."
Yuanyang said angrily: "It's not like I sold them to you, it's a good idea!" She tapped Jinxiu's forehead with her hand, then lifted the quilt to get up.Jin Xiu asked: "It's so late, where is sister going?"
"Go ask A Niang and the others..." Seeing that Jinxiu was in a hurry, she smiled and said, "There are three urgencies in people, can I go to the toilet?"
"Go, go, always bury me!"
Yuanyang pursed her lips and smiled, put on a dress and went out.Walking halfway, I remembered that I didn't take the candle. Seeing Aunt Jin's house was still lit from a distance, I thought, Father and the others haven't slept yet, why don't we ask Auntie where the candle is placed.
Approaching their house, I only heard Aunt Jin talking in the room: "... I don't know what sin we have done, why is this child so miserable... If we do sin, God just let us bear it, why bother to embarrass this child !"
Yuanyang stopped and stood quietly in the darkness.
Father Jin sighed and said, "It's useless to blame me. Let the three of you, mother and son, suffer."
"It's all life...it's all life!"
After a while, Father Jin said: "Okay, don't cry now. Hurry up and let the child see your red eyes, she may be very uncomfortable! This child, Hei Ya, has been good since he was a child. I have suffered Suffering, all in my heart, and I didn’t say a word to us. This time, the emperor gave me a marriage, and no one can do anything about it! She may be suffering in her heart, so don’t make trouble! Take advantage of the few days when the child is at home, spend more time with her Be with her and make her happy."
Aunt Jin said: "Old man, why don't we take our daughters and run away! We can't run to the ends of the earth, and that superintendent will chase him to the ends of the earth!"
Papa Jin was silent for a long time.Aunt Jin suddenly cried: "What kind of evil is this? What is he doing with a eunuch marrying a wife? It's not good to marry anyone, but to marry our daughter! Isn't this a disaster?!"
Father Jin patted Aunt Jin's back repeatedly, and said weakly, "Don't cry..."
Yuanyang was silent, planning to go back to her room to get a candle, but when she turned around, she saw the same silent little brother Jin.The siblings looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.In the end, the younger brother brought a candle to the mandarin duck, and after the mandarin duck came out, he thoughtfully brought hot water to the mandarin duck to clean his hands.
"Sister, if it weren't for me...you wouldn't have gone to Laoshizichang Governor's Mansion. Today there would be no such situation. I know Father and the others are jealous of me so I don't take my sister away. I'm not afraid of anything! As long as my sister can get out of the clutches !"
"Why do you think so?" Yuanyang lowered her head and said shyly, "I just like Lord Governor."
Little brother Jin was startled, then blushed quickly, hesitated and couldn't speak, and finally, coughed lightly, and fled away.Yuanyang looked at the back of the younger brother leaving, and sighed softly.What Yuanyang didn't know was that in the darkness, a figure moved slightly, and was writing down something quickly with a pen in his hand.And the next day, there was an additional letter on Yuhuatian's desk——at the end of the letter, there was clearly written a sentence "Madam said: My heart is pleased with the Governor"...
Yuanyang naturally didn't know these things, so he went to the market with Aunt Jin the next day.Because she thought in her heart, the family will not have much time to get together in the future, so she should cherish the present.Splendid is also going the same way.And because Yuanyang and Jinxiu are both young women, they wear veils when they go out.The three of them bought some food and drinks and went home. When passing by an alley, they saw a plain-clothed woman and a masked man head-on.
Yuanyang immediately recognized that these two people were Gu Shaotang and Feng Lidao.She didn't think about anything, she pulled Aunt Jin and Jinxiu to turn around and leave.Then Gu Shaotang said "Hello" a few words, and simply used lightness kung fu to block the way of the mandarin duck.Unexpectedly, when she was about to get close to the mandarin duck, a throwing knife flew from the shadows—Gu Shaotang is a master at using hidden weapons, and such a sneak attack is not her opponent at all.Immediately, she also used a throwing knife and knocked it into the air!The flying knife hit the wall with a crisp sound, Fengli picked it up and said, "It's from Xichang."
"People from Xichang?" Gu Shaotang snorted coldly, "I'll just have a word with this woman, you go to my side!"
There was no movement in the dark, so Gu Shaotang stood there and looked at the mandarin duck.Yuanyang's heart skipped a beat when he heard the word "Xichang", and thought to himself, could it be that after returning home, Yuhuatian sent someone to monitor him in the dark?She didn't turn around either, only to hear Feng Lidao speak first: "Girl, what happened yesterday was purely accidental, and I didn't expect to implicate you."
Gu Shaotang tugged at him, and said to Yuanyang, "Let me just tell you, what I gave you yesterday was not poison."
Yuanyang nodded and said, "My lord asked the imperial doctor to show me yesterday."
Gu Shaotang let out an "oh" and stood on both sides.Only Aunt Jin and Jinxiu frowned and looked at each other. Jinxiu suddenly realized, pointed at Gu Shaotang and said, "It turns out that you, the female bandit, are blackmailing sister Yuanyang!"
"Who are you calling a female bandit?!" Gu Shaotang raised his brows upside down, staring at Jinxiu.Feng Li Dao pulled her and said: "Okay, stop arguing..."
"It's you!" Jinxiu was also a little scared, but she still stuck her neck and said, "It's your fault for kidnapping people! No matter what kind of grievances you have with the governor, my sister Yuanyang, a weak woman, is involved in it, so innocent ?! If it weren't for you, sister Yuanyang would be frightened and sick?! You..."
Gu Shaotang scolded her mother, trying to scare Jinxiu with a throwing knife.Unexpectedly, Jinxiu is also straight-tempered, the more she is like this, the more she refuses to accept: "Why are you so fierce?! Are you capable of abducting people, but not capable of apologizing?!"
Gu Shaotang immediately took out the flying knife, Yuanyang saw her, immediately pulled Jinxiu behind her, and said to Gu Shaotang: "Miss Gu, Mr. Feng, since there is nothing else to do, then I will take my leave."
Aunt Jin was confused and asked, "What happened? What kind of hijacking?" It turned out that Jinxiu didn't tell Aunt Jin about the abduction of Yuanyang by Gu Shaotang, but only said that Yuanyang was sick and went home to recuperate. ——As for little brother Jin, it was because Jinxiu slipped the tongue when talking to him, so he knew about it.
Jinxiu knew she had said the wrong thing, she didn't know how to do it, she only heard the sound of footsteps, and saw Ma Jinliang walking towards here with several Jinyiwei in flying fish suits.He made a slight bow to the mandarin ducks, and said, "I came here to take a look when I heard there was movement here, but I didn't expect it to be you."
"Master Jinliang!" Jinxiu thinks that Ma Jinliang is an excellent person, at least he will be the first to show up whenever he encounters any difficulties.Yuanyang just nodded slightly, and said: "Master Ma, it's nothing, we are planning to go home."
"Then I'll take you back. It's not safe along the way..." Ma Jinliang glanced at Gu Shaotang and the two of them.
Gu Shaotang jumped angrily, but was held back by Fengli Dao.Since Ma Jinliang said he wanted to send them home, Yuanyang didn't refuse.
"Then there will be Mrs. Lao Ma." After finishing speaking, Yuanyang and Aunt Jin, who was stunned, walked in front—because Ma Jinliang has a fierce appearance, and Aunt Jin is a woman, where have you seen him?Yes, a little scared.
Jinxiu deliberately fell behind Yuanyang and the others, and before leaving, she turned her head and raised her veil, making a big face at Gu Shaotang and the others.Gu Shaotang scolded her mother: "This stinky girl! I'll kill her sooner or later!"
After hearing this, Jinxiu raised her head high, snorted, and swaggered deliberately to show Gu Shaotang.Ma Jinliang turned his head and glanced at Gu Shaotang coldly, with a warning in his eyes.After that, he ordered his subordinates to continue patrolling, and personally escorted the three of them.Jinxiu looked at Ma Jinliang curiously, and said, "Master Jinliang, do you patrol here every day?"
Ma Jinliang did not expect that Jinxiu would take the initiative to talk to him, he said: "...No."
Jinxiu let out an "oh", then ran forward and took Yuanyang's arm, walking side by side with Yuanyang.Ma Jinliang glanced at her silently—in fact, he still had some things to say, for example, he is the head of the West Factory, and patrolling is not his duty at all.
Aunt Jin brought up the old story again, and Jinxiu was perfunctory, saying that a female bandit had come to the factory governor's mansion and robbed a little maid. I went to the house, and then, I came out to catch the bandits with everyone...
Yuanyang couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, "You're talking nonsense again!"
But Aunt Jin also laughed, although she felt that what Jinxiu said later was very unreliable, but the previous things should be close to each other.Jinxiu giggled, her watery eyes bent into two crescents, full of the innocence and cuteness of a little girl her age.
Ma Jinliang's eyes kept falling on Jinxiu's body - it's been a long time since I saw such a pure laughter and eyes.
After he sent the three mandarin ducks home, Mrs. Jin politely invited him into the house for tea.Ma Jinliang knew that this was being polite, especially that Yuanyang didn't seem to want to see him—he was also present when he took Yuanyang to the prison to watch his sentence yesterday.Although he felt that the governor did nothing wrong, the fault was Yuanyang, but this did not prevent him from speculating on Yuanyang's mind.He declined politely, and Mrs. Jin stopped greeting him.On the contrary, Jinxiu thanked him with a smile. Although she was wearing a veil and couldn't see the expression on her face, those crescent moons were so lovable—it wasn't until they all entered the house and the door was closed that Ma Jinliang turned around. leave.And his beautiful voice and smile still lingered in his mind.
The three of Yuanyang entered the yard, and heard a gentle male voice explaining the "Book of Songs" to the younger brother.
"...The reeds are green, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqis are on the side of the water. If you follow them back, the road is long and obstructed. If you follow them back, you will be in the middle of the water." He said, "This is what the people love in their hearts. He wanted to go upstream to find her, but the road was long and obstructed. He wanted to swim downstream to find her, but she seemed to be in the middle of the water...unreachable, far away..."
The younger brother asked: "Cousin, I can't find Yiren even after traveling back and forth, why don't you just go there by boat?"
He coughed lightly, and said: "It's too abrupt for the beauty."
When they said this, Aunt Jin said, "Changsheng, what are you talking about with my younger brother? What about Yirenjiaren?"
This man was Ye Changsheng, the cousin of the Ye family.After the Jin family moved out of the Ye family, the two families still had some contacts.Mother Ye made some pork belly and asked him to bring a bowl to the Jin family.After he entered the room, he heard his younger brother talk about the return of the mandarin duck. For a moment, he remembered that the mandarin duck had been married to the governor of the West Factory by the imperial decree. ... So I stayed here to teach my younger brother to read.
"My nephew has met my aunt." Ye Changsheng immediately stood up and saluted Aunt Jin politely.
"You are too polite, kid!" Aunt Jin laughed.Tell him to just sit down, you don't have to be polite.Ye Changsheng let out an "ah", but he didn't dare to look at the mandarin duck, and sat obediently across from his younger brother.The younger brother has greeted both Yuanyang and Jinxiu.After all, men and women are different, Aunt Jin told Ye Changsheng to eat dinner before leaving, and took the couple to the kitchen.
Ye Changsheng didn't know what he was thinking, left and right, he didn't listen to Aunt Jin's words at all.What Aunt Jin said, he just nodded.
The three mandarin ducks were working in the kitchen, and Mrs. Jin felt that Ye Changsheng was a good young man.But that's all there is to it, nothing more to say.After a long time, Mrs. Jin saw that it was getting late, and because she was cooking, she couldn't leave for a while, so she asked Yuanyang to ask her younger brother to stop reading, so as not to hurt their eyes.The mandarin duck responded and went instead.
I just went to the yard, but I didn't see little brother Jin, only Ye Changsheng stared blankly at the bright moon on the top of willows after dusk.Seeing this, Yuanyang naturally wanted to avoid it, turned slightly sideways, and asked, "Excuse me, cousin, may I ask where did you go?"
Ye Changsheng almost trembled when he heard the haunting voice, and said hesitantly: "...Little brother, I haven't come back from going to the bathroom yet."
"Oh." Yuanyang said again, "Mother said it's getting late, cousin and younger brother don't read books, so as not to hurt their eyes."
After saying this, Yuanyang was slightly blessed and left.Ye Changsheng's throat was dry, and he felt waves of bitterness in his heart.He stood up in a strange way, and walked to the place where the mandarin ducks were standing, only to see a light purple veil lying on the ground - a pair of mandarin ducks were playing in the water on the veil, lifelike.
