Returning to the broken courtyard from Yunjia Courtyard, Xue Jinyi didn't even bother to breathe, and pushed open the door of the west wing.

The musty smell and dust came to her face, but fortunately she was prepared and covered her mouth and nose with a veil.

The light penetrated into this dusty room for many years, illuminating the world.

After Xue Jinyi adapted to the light, she found that there were rows of bookshelves in the west wing, piled with books and bamboo slips. She carefully picked up a book next to her, blew off the dust on the cover, and found a suitable poetry collection, all in traditional Chinese, which was not difficult for her to understand.

"Is this the place where the books are stored in the house?" She asked.

Mama Yao looked around and said, "The Xue family has a history of hundreds of years, maybe a lot of unwanted books are reluctant to throw away, so they are piled up here, right?" However, the old lady said that there is something to help you here, why can't I see it? ”

Xue Jinyi stroked the poetry book and said with a smile: "Isn't this it?" ”

"Huh?" Mama Yao was puzzled.

Xue Jinyi looked at it casually and found that in addition to poetry collections and history books, there were also topographic maps of the Guogong Mansion, details of various shops and Zhuangzi, which was very helpful for her to have a deeper understanding of the Xue family.

She laughed and said, "There is a golden house in the book." ”

For her, a time-traveler, there is no better way to understand the people or things of this era than books, and if she wants to live here, she must know everything here.

Mama Yao scratched her hair, "Miss, your speech has become more civil, I'm a little unaccustomed to it now." ”

"By the way, Mama," Xue Jinyi said as she looked around, "Do you remember what books my mother likes to read?" ”

"I remember it all." Mama Yao nodded.

Xue Jinyi said: "Please help me find out, I want to take a look." ”

The parents of the original owner were originally in deep affection, but Wei Guogong had little affection for his daughter, probably because the mother and daughter were too different, and after he was repeatedly disappointed, he thought that he didn't have this daughter, right?

If her conversation and behavior are a little similar to that of the original owner's biological mother, maybe she can evoke the memories of Wei Guogong's past, and have a father-daughter relationship with her, which will add a boost to her gaining a firm foothold in the Xue family.

Mama Yao responded: "Okay, I'll find out." ”

Xue Jinyi opened all the windows in the west wing, allowing sunlight and wind to let in. She instructed Mama Yao to make clothes and buy things, and she moved some books out to bask in the sun.

The courtyard was dilapidated, but it was quiet and peaceful, and she sat on a somewhat tattered bamboo chair, flipping through her books.

In her preparation before filming, she will read a lot of ancient history books to understand the plot and characters, so she doesn't feel bored and enjoys watching with relish.

In the evening, Mama Yao came back with some vegetable seeds and new clothes.

The two of them ploughed the ground together, sprinkled vegetable seeds, and tidied up the west wing, and the day passed in the blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, another night passed, Xue Jinyi put on the old clothes that she didn't take away, and prepared to continue to tidy up the West Wing, some books have been around for many years, yellowing and old, and they are so moth-eaten that they can't look like they're broken, and if you touch them lightly, the whole book may be broken, so it takes a lot of thought to sort them out.

Mama Yao, who went to get lunch, hurriedly came back from outside and said to Xue Jinyi, "Someone from the palace is going to make an order." ”

"Huh?" Xue Jinyi was so focused on the book that she didn't understand the meaning of her words for a while.

Mama Yao took the book from Xue Jinyi's hand and said, "The princess's person has been chosen, someone from the palace will read the holy decree, and it is estimated that there is still a stick of incense to arrive." You also participated in the draft the day before yesterday, so you should come over and listen to the decree. ”

"It must have nothing to do with me," Xue Jinyi picked up another book, "You called me over because you wanted to humiliate me again." ”

Before the words fell, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss Jin, Madame told you to go to the main house, you hurry up, don't delay the hour, otherwise you will offend the nobles, and you will look good."

"Here we are!" Mama Yao replied loudly.

Xue Jinyi frowned slightly, "Let's just say I'm not feeling well." ”

The people outside probably overheard the sound of talking in the courtyard and shouted: "Madame has spoken, unless Miss Jin is dead, you must go to the main house, otherwise you will be disrespectful to the emperor!" ”

"This ......" Mama Yao looked at Xue Jinyi helplessly.

It's really going to give people a big hat...... Xue Jinyi shook her head, "Let's go." ”

"Miss, do you want to change your clothes?" Mama Yao asked in a low voice.

Xue Jinyi looked at the bright pink dress on her body, as well as the big red embroidery on the skirt, and shook her head, "Don't change it, just go like this." It's just a holy decree, is it so troublesome? ”

Moreover, there have been too many changes at once, and I am afraid that Mrs. Xue will be suspicious and take precautions.

Mama Yao listened to her resolute tone, so she followed behind her, the master and servant came out of the broken courtyard, and the mother-in-law at the door saw Xue Jinyi and sneered unabashedly.

"Lead the way." Xue Jinyi said expressionlessly.

The mother-in-law remembered the rumors in the house in the past two days, swallowed her saliva, and didn't dare to humiliate as casually as before.

She honestly led the way in front, and after a long time, Xue Jinyi came to the main house, at this time the Xue family had gathered here, and even the old lady Xue, who rarely came out to walk around, sat on the main seat, heard the sound, only raised her eyes to look, and continued to drink tea.

"Hey, our Miss Xue is better than the future crown princess, and she only arrived at this time." A sneer rang out.

Xue Jinyi glanced at her, and saw that she must be a sycophant who only Mrs. Xue was looking forward to.

Before she could speak, Mrs. Xue smiled and said, "Today is a big day, so you don't have to worry about this little thing." ”

This is the first time Xue Jinyi has seen Sun Suci with her own eyes, at first glance she feels kind and benevolent, but on closer inspection, she is a shrewd person, and she is the most eye-catching among all the female dependents.

"That's right," the woman who was the first to speak sarcastically said with a smile: "Our Fangyi is really a blessing, bringing so much glory to the Xue family!" ”

"It's not because my sister-in-law has a good upbringing, she is the best among the nobles in the capital. Ordinary people, but they can't compare. Another woman answered, "But also be smart yourself." Unlike some people, even if they put all their heart and soul into it, they are still a waste. ”

No one gave Xue Jinyi a chance to explain, and she didn't bother to argue, standing in the corner, and then felt the back of her hand being touched, and turned her head to look.

"Here you go." Xue Huai's fist reached out in front of her.

Although they were both entrusted with important tasks by the old lady together in Yunjiayuan yesterday, it doesn't mean that they are allies, Xue Jinyi looked at him vigilantly, "What is it?" ”

"Delicious snacks, grandmother told me to leave them." Xue Huaidao.

Xue Jinyi looked at Old Madam Xue and spread her hand hesitantly.

A hint of cunning flashed in Xue Huai's eyes, and he quickly threw the things in his hand on her palm.

The itchy feeling came from the palm of her hand, and Xue Jinyi looked at it, and it was a green caterpillar the thickness of her middle finger!

The insect writhed its soft body, and it seemed that some transparent slime fell on her palm, and the disgusting hair made the hair stand on end.

Xue Huai looked at Xue Jinyi with a wicked smile, she knew that he was waiting for her gaffe scream, and then fled in a hurry, causing everyone in the room to laugh.

"Huh." Xue Jinyi sneered twice and threw the caterpillar at Xue Huai mercilessly.

"Smack", the caterpillar happened to lie on the bridge of Xue Huai's nose, his eyes rolled around, and finally became a pair of eyes, staring directly at the caterpillar.

Xue Jinyi was amused, but she didn't wait for the frightened screams - Xue Huai covered her mouth desperately, and then with a flick of her head, the caterpillar flew out, crossed the heads of several people, and landed on Xue Fangyi's delicate bun impartially.
