It's snowing, and the white snowflakes are falling from the sky one after another, like beautiful silver butterflies dancing. The snow is getting bigger and bigger, and the snowflakes are flying all over the sky, like smoke but not smoke, like fog and not fog, as if the whole world is shrouded in the vast snow.
In the cold winter, the house has long been burned with earth dragons. Yuxi sat in the warm room and watched the chess games, and studying the chess games has now become Yuxi's best hobby, surpassing embroidery.
Mo Ju walked in quickly, because of the cold on her body, she didn't dare to approach Yuxi, and said at the door: "Girl, Mo Tao fell and can't get up now." "The ground was frozen, and Mo Tao accidentally slipped while carrying the food box.
Yuxi hurriedly said, "Hurry up and ask for a doctor." "Mo Tao is the least sharp of Yuxi's four maids, she is bored to do things on weekdays, and she has the weakest sense of storage. But this doesn't mean that Yuxi doesn't take care of Motao, on the contrary, Yuxi still values Motao very much.
Mo Ju hurriedly nodded and responded: "Girl, you still need to wait for breakfast." Mo Tao threw all of Yuxi's breakfast on the floor, and the big kitchen had to get another one. But it must have been slower than usual to get an extra breakfast in the big kitchen.
Yuxi calculated the time, she would definitely be late when the big kitchen was ready for breakfast. Yuxi said: "You don't need to get it anymore, just bring it from the kitchen." "If you have your own kitchen, you don't need to go through the hassle. But this can only be thought about, only the old lady and the eldest aunt have a small kitchen in the mansion, and nothing else.
A quarter of an hour later, breakfast arrived. This time, the breakfast was very simple, only steamed buns, and a bowl of millet porridge.
Yuxi didn't pick either, and after eating, he was ready to go to Yulan Garden.
When she went out, Shen's mother also wanted to add a coat to Yuxi, but was stopped by Yuxi: "I wore a leather jacket, not cold." "She's much stronger now than before, and she doesn't need to be wrapped like a dumpling anymore.
Shen's mother couldn't resist Yuxi, so she could only give up.
When he arrived at the gate of Yulan Garden, Yuxi saw Yuchen. Because it was extremely cold in the past two days, Yuchen didn't come over early in the morning to learn the piano.
Yuchen was wearing a silver-white satin mink fur cloak on the outside, and his head was covered by the cap of the cloak. After entering the classroom, Yuchen took off the cloak, revealing the water-red knee-high silver rat hair carved silk jacket inside.
Yuxi glanced at the cloak, but his eyes fell on the ice jade gourd bracelet on Yuchen's wrist, Yuchen doesn't wear much jewelry on weekdays, but as long as he wears it, it must be a high-quality product, and it is basically not the same every time he wears it. Yuxi only looked at the jewelry that Yuchen wore every time, which could make her gain a lot of knowledge.
Yuxi turned his head and looked at the guarded eyes of the servant. It feels really uncomfortable to be guarded by thieves. Yuxi had ignored this feeling before, but today a touch of annoyance appeared in her heart, and she deliberately smiled and said, "Third sister, your bracelet is so beautiful, can you show me." ”
The gourd means "Fulu", this gourd bracelet is made of ice old anti-jadeite, six yang green jadeite gourds are bright in color, crystal clear, and full of vitality.
Yuxi couldn't help but praise when he saw it: "It's so beautiful." ”
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly said, "This bracelet was given to my girl by the old lady a few days ago. The meaning of the words was clear to everyone present.
When Mo Ju heard this, her eyes erupted with anger.
There are some things that everyone knows can be done, but if they say it, it will be embarrassing. But this time, the waiter really angered Yuxi. Yuxi looked at the servant and said with a smile: "What you say, I don't know and think I'm plotting the bracelet of the third sister." ”
The waiter didn't expect Yuxi to say it so bluntly, and his face instantly stiffened. She is loved by the old lady and the girl, and she is also a maid, where can she be compared with the four girls.
Yuchen didn't know why Yuxi suddenly became difficult, and said with a smile: "It's not a valuable thing, if the fourth sister likes it, I'll give it to you." ”
Yuxi was shocked when he heard this, and he felt that expensive things were like weeds on the side of the road in the eyes of others, which was really unpleasant. Yuxi said with a smile: "No need, there are so many beautiful things in this world, I can't take them for myself when I see them." After saying this, he handed the bracelet to Yuchen and lowered his head to sort out his book.
Returning to the Rose Courtyard after class, Mother Shen said with a smile on her face: "Girl, the New Year's gift from the master has arrived." "Today is the eighteenth day of the lunar month, and this year Lilly is really timely.
Yuxi sighed and didn't follow. Although Han Jingyan was in a foreign position in her previous life, it did not prevent her from admiring Han Jingyan, and even when she was wronged before, she thought that it would be good if her father was in the mansion, so that no one could bully her. didn't expect that Han Jingyan would treat her as nothing after returning to Beijing, and she would never care if she was bullied by the Wu family. That's all there is to it, knowing that the Jiang family is a fire pit and pushing her into the fire pit, is this her biological father? Therefore, she no longer has half of the father-daughter affection for Han Jingyan's cold-blooded and ruthless biological father.
Mother Shen looked at Yuxi's salty and indifferent expression, and secretly screamed in her heart, looking at the girl's expression, she didn't care about the master's neglect at all, which didn't mean that the girl didn't kiss the master, this didn't happen: "Girl, the master gave a lot of things this time." ”
Yuxi thought for a moment and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, my father has been in Hebei for five years, and he will be six years old next year." Will Daddy come back next year?"
Shen's mother said with a smile: "I heard that the master's political achievements are all excellent, and he is likely to be promoted next year." "If you want to go up, you won't come back.
Yuxi was silent for a moment and said, "Mother Shen, what kind of person is my stepmother?" Seeing that Shen's mother didn't speak, Yuxi said: "If Mom doesn't know, you can go to the people who came back from Hebei to inquire about it this time." ”
Shen's mother's face was a little unnatural.
Yuxi didn't say anything in person, but turned his head and asked Hongshan to inquire about the details of the Wu family. Hongshan has a wide relationship, and Yuxi gave her some silver to take it in, so she soon heard the news.
Hong Shan told the basic situation of the Wu clan that she had inquired about.
After listening to Hongshan's words, Yuxi deliberately pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "What else?" After spending a few taels of silver, he found out about the number of wives and concubines and the number of aunts and brothers and sisters in Hebei, and the news was too simple.
Hong Shan said: "It is said that the third lady is strict in governing the family, and she is well organized inside and out, which is very valued by the master. Hong Shan was actually a little worried, and it could be seen from the news that the future housemother of the third room was not a good person, which was very unfavorable to her girl.
Yuxi chuckled, it's good that the Wu family is stricter, but it won't be enough to hear such useless news. It should be that these people think that she gives less money. She inquired about the news of the Wu family just for show, she had been with the Wu family for several years in her previous life, and she was very clear about the Wu family's temperament.
Yuxi said to himself: "There are still many years, don't worry." It wasn't until she was eleven years old that Wu followed her father back to Beijing. As soon as the Wu family came back, they competed with the eldest aunt for the right to steward the house, and the two fought openly and secretly for several years, until her niece Qiu Yanfu designed the second brother to completely tear her face.
Hongshan didn't hear what Yuxi said clearly, and asked, "Girl, what are you talking about?"
Yuxi raised his head and regained his usual look: "It's not a big deal to say that my stepmother is a powerful character, and the mansion is ruled by my grandmother." "Years is enough time for her to be ready. In her previous life, she was stupid, and in this life, the Wu family doesn't want to step on her head again.
At this time, Qiu's face was ugly after reading the list of New Year's gifts sent by Hebei.
Mother Li looked bad and hurriedly asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Qiu handed the list to Li's mother and said, "I have sent several carts of things from afar, and they are all worthless things. It's really a good calculation to get famous, and it didn't cost a lot of money!" "There are a few big cars of things sent, but they add up to only two or three thousand taels.
After reading it, Li's mother didn't look good: "This Wu clan is getting more and more excessive." "The number of New Year's gifts is increasing, but unfortunately there are fewer and fewer valuable things.
Qiu sneered: "She thinks that everyone in the world is a fool, but she is smart!"
Mother Li sighed calmly: "Madam, during the assessment period in March next year, the third master has been in charge of Tongzhi for six years, if he is not on a business trip, he should mention it this time." I have to point out this matter to the old lady, and the money that will be paid next year will not be taken out of the public school. "When her wife got married, the Guogong Mansion was in deficit every year. It took a lot of effort for her wife to make ends meet. Why is her wife so tired and tired to do so much, it's not for the second master.
Qiu Shi understood the meaning of this, but she was a little hesitant: "You mean to let the old lady pay for the money?" Qiu Shi is not a tight hand, she has no thoughts about the money in the old lady's hand. It's just that I think that the Wu family is holding on to the money and asking the mansion to pay for it, but I am always unwilling.
Mother Li said: "Madam, even if the Wu clan can't figure it out, the third master is not confused. I believe that the third master must have asked his henchmen to send money to the old lady, and let the old lady help with it. We have to take advantage of this incident to let the old lady know the character of the Wu family. "The third master is a son of a family, it is impossible not to know that money is needed to make a point, and it is definitely impossible for this money to let the Guogong Mansion come out.
The Qiu clan had a headache: "If the Wu clan comes back, this mansion is estimated to be less and less quiet." "Although I haven't seen this Wu clan, I know that it is not a good match when I look at this behavior.
Mother Li smiled: "Madame, don't worry. When the Wu family came back, the first thing they faced was not the lady, but the third and fourth girls. "The third girl and the fourth girl follow Mr. Song to study, even if they only learn the fur, it is impossible for the Wu clan to suppress the two girls.
Qiu shook his head and said: "No matter how powerful the three girls and four girls are, they always have to rely on the brothers in the family, and it is impossible for them to fight against the Wu family." ”
Mother Li doesn't argue with Qiu's either, this kind of thing can only be proven by time. However, she believes that the third girl and the fourth girl are definitely not the ones who swallow their anger. As long as the Wu family returns to the capital, her good days will come to an end.
