The green bamboos outside the courtyard vary in thickness and length, but each one is slender and tall. The wind blew the Buddha quietly, and the bamboo leaves trembled slightly, as if a beauty was whispering.
Mother Fang saw Yuxi standing in the backyard and looking at the bamboo for a long time. She really didn't know what was so good about the bamboo: "Girl, the wind is so strong, come in!"
Yuxi turned her head and said, "If you don't enter the house, you will be bored in the house. Mom, it's time to cook, right?"
Mother Fang was a little helpless. After the girl recovered from her illness, she would stay by her side to watch her cooking when she saw her cooking. She was known for learning how to cook. Fang's mother couldn't laugh or cry. The four-year-old kid learned what cooking, but she couldn't hold back Yuxi, and thought that it would be a good thing to learn cooking, so she didn't object.
After lunch, Fang's mother said to Yuxi: "Girl, Mrs. Cao, who delivered the food today, told me that we will be able to return to the Qiangweiyuan in about two days." Qiangweiyuan is the yard where Yuxi lives.
Yuxi nodded. In her last life, she lived in Qingzhu Xiaozhu for more than a month. It was not until Yuchen recovered from her illness that she moved back to Qingzhu Xiaozhu.
Yuxi hesitated for a while and asked, "Mother Fang, there is one thing I want to ask you, how did I get smallpox?"
Mother Fang asked strangely: "What's the matter?"
Yuxi said: "The third brother's smallpox was infected by people outside. I have never been out of the inner courtyard, and I have never been in contact with the third brother. How can I get smallpox?" Although smallpox is terrible, as long as I don't touch it. There will be nothing wrong with the pathogen. During this period of time, Yuxi thought for a while, how did she think that there was something wrong with her smallpox.
Mother Fang really didn't think about it, her face changed a lot when she heard these words: "The girl meant that someone wanted to harm you?" When she thought of the kidnapping in the kitchen, her heart became heavy.
Yuxi wasn't sure: "I don't know if someone actually harmed me. I just think this is too strange."
A ruthless look flashed in her mother's eyes and said, "Don't worry, girl, if someone really has a dark heart and hurts the girl, I will definitely want her to die."
Early the next morning, three people came from Qingzhu Xiaozhu. The head was a beautiful woman in indigo blue with a duck-egg face, followed by two big-and-big-and-big-brown women.
Yuxi only felt that the maid in the head was a bit familiar, but couldn't name it. Mother Fang exclaimed happily: "Mo Ju, are you here to pick up the girl back to the Rose House?"
Yuxi just remembered that Mo Ju was the maid beside her, she hadn't seen Mo Ju for more than ten years, and she had forgotten.
With tears in her eyes, Mo Ju bowed to Yuxi, choked up and said, "Yes, the lady asked me to pick up the girl back to the Rose House. The girl is able to survive the catastrophe this time, and it is the Buddha's blessing."
Yuxi said indifferently: "This time I can survive the catastrophe, it is my mother who is blessing in the sky!"
Mo Ju nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, the lady must have blessed the girl in the sky." This time, many people died in the smallpox, and all those who died were burned. Even the dead body could not be kept. I was afraid of leaving behind. . The girl was able to escape this catastrophe, the lady really blessed her.
Yuxi feels relaxed, and finally leaves this place, and there is nothing to clean up, everything here is going to be burned.
Qingzhu Xiaozhu is a little far away from the Qiangweiyuan. Yuxi was not in a hurry, watching the scenery on the road as he walked. Since marrying to Jiang's family, she has only been back a few times, and everything here is a bit strange to her now.
When Mo Tao saw Yuxi, tears fell in his eyes: "The girl is back." There are four big maids in Yuxi, namely Mo Ju, Mo Tao, Mo Yun, and Mo Xiang.
Mother Fang said: "If you have anything to say, go back to the house. The sun is poisonous, so you can't expose the girl." The girl had fine sweat on her forehead after such a long journey.
Mo Tao lit the brazier at the door and said, "Girl, you can get rid of the bad luck by stepping over this brazier."
Yuxi didn't hesitate for a while, took a step on her calf, stepped over the brazier and walked into the Rose Garden.
The Rose House is not big, facing two main rooms, with penthouses on both sides of the main room, and east and west wing rooms on both sides. The Qiangwei Courtyard is relatively small compared to other courtyards in the Guogong Mansion.
The reason why the Qiangweiyuan was named is because there is a rose on the wall on the right side of the yard. Now it is the season when the roses are blooming. The roses on this wall are either purple or jade white, and they are very beautiful. A few clusters of plantains were also planted under the windows, and the fan-like banana leaves stretched out, green like silk, reflecting a shade of shade.
After entering the house, Yuxi scanned her bedroom, which was very simple and simple, with a six-poster canopy bed against the wall. A cyan curtain was hung on the bed, and autumn-colored bedding was placed on the bed. There are two rosewood chairs on the opposite side of the bed, beside the screen, behind the screen is a small clean room. Except for the necessary furniture, there are no other furnishings like jade, gold, porcelain, etc. in the room. The simple and elegant house outside her house is just the opposite.
Mother Fang came over and said, "Girl, let's take a shower!" After bathing and changing clothes, the clothes she changed were taken by the maid and burned. This was also to infect others.
Mo Ju wiped Yuxi's hair with a dry towel, and said softly, "The girl has suffered these days."
Yuxi glanced at Mo Ju. She has been drinking spicy food every day of the month, with a lot of flesh growing on her face, and her complexion is also very good. Mo Ju said that she suffered a little bit of heart. Yuxi said indifferently: "If you don't die in a catastrophe, you will have a blessing." Because of doubts, she now doesn't trust the four maids. Speaking of her last life, she really failed completely. When she died, there was no one she could trust.
Mo Ju smiled and said, "Well, the girl will definitely be rich and wealthy in the future."
Yuxi asked: "Where are Mo Yun and Mo Xiang?" Now there are only two of the four maids left, and she doesn't know where the other two are.
Mo Ju didn't think much, and said, "Mo Yun's mother was ill a few days ago. She didn't know that the girl was back today, so she took leave from her mother in charge and went home to take care of her mother. Mo Xiang, she..." After a pause, Mo Ju still said : "Girl, Mo Xiang is gone."
Yuxi went stiff and asked, "Why is it gone?"
Mo Ju's hand paused, and then softly said, "Mo Xiang also got smallpox." In short, Mo Xiang also infected smallpox and died.
Yuxi's complexion was a little ugly.
After drying her hair, Yuxi sat down in front of the dressing table. This dressing table is made of chicken wing wood. As far as Yuxi knows, the furniture used in the office of the Guogong mansion is made of chicken wing wood. She used to be sad because of such shabby decorations, but now she doesn’t care about these things anymore: “Choose a plain-colored dress for me.”
Huatao divides Yuxi's hair into two strands, symmetrically tied into two large vertebrae, placed on both sides of the top of the head, and draws a small lock of hair in the bun to make it hang down naturally.
Yuxi looked at herself in the bronze mirror. She was as thin as a bamboo pole at this time in her previous life, but now her face is very ruddy, which makes her look soothing.
After the ink peach took the two small boxes and opened them, Yuxi saw that half of the box's jewelry was silver, and the others were either gold or pearls. As for the gems and diamonds, there were no half of them. Yuxi said, "You don't need to wear jewelry."
Huatao rejected Yuxi's proposal and said, "Girl, let's wear two pieces of jewelry! Nothing is too plain, the old lady won't like it." The old lady doesn't like her girl, if she wears it again. Like a filial piety, you must be scolded by the old lady.
Yuxi wanted to say that she didn't like to pull it. Anyway, she is not uncommon, but she can only think about it in her heart: "Then which one do you think is good?"
Huatao picked two blue bead flowers from the jewelry box and put them on Yuxi, and asked, "Girl, what do you think of this?"
Yuxi didn't have much interest. Although she had improved her complexion a lot after raising her for a month, her body was too weak and it would take some time to fully recover. She can't see where she is looking no matter how she dresses up now: "It's almost done."
After combing his hair, Mo Ju came over with a water-blue dress. Yuxi shook his head and said, "Change a set." It's always blue, and she doesn't like it much anymore.
Dressed neatly, Yuxi took Mo Ju to the room. Shangfang is also a little away from Yuxi’s Rose Garden, and Yuxi still walks slowly so that he can familiarize himself with the road here.
Entering the Chuhua Gate, bypassing the rich and precious peony plaque in front of the door, walking through the hall, a bright and neat courtyard is presented in front of you. There are five upper rooms on the front, carved beams and painted buildings with cornices and hanging corners.
A beautiful woman in a purple dress opened the curtain and walked out. She saw Yuxi with a smile and said, "Four girls, the old lady just happened to rest. When the old lady wakes up, she will tell the slave maidservant."
Yuxi didn't show any dissatisfaction on her face, only smiled and said, "Sister Cuiyu is in trouble."
Cuiyu was a little surprised. The four girls looked gloomy in the past, but they seemed to have become clever after being ill: "The girl has broken the servant girl. This is what the servant girl should do."
When Yuxi turned and was about to leave, she saw Yuchen walking out of the house.
Yuchen wore a white gauze lining, covered half of his arms with white crescent moon, under a snow-white moon skirt, white and delicate skin, delicate and small melon seed face, and a pair of big watery eyes that seemed to drip water. Although his face was pale and thin, there was such a rare aura in the corners of his eyebrows.
Seeing Yuchen, Yuxi had a complicated look in his eyes. Rao lived a lifetime longer and she still felt that the Lord was too affectionate for Yuchen. Not only gave Yuchen the face of being overwhelmed with the country, but also gave her an extraordinary talent. Because of such a radiant sister, her pressure is not ordinary. Obviously her appearance is not bad in every aspect, but in front of Yuchen, she can only be a foil forever, which leads to her lack of self-confidence and especially low self-esteem.
Yuxi suppressed the strangeness in his heart, and said, "Third Sister." With a smile to Yuchen, Yuxi looked away now. Some things are destined, envy and jealousy are useless, and inferiority is not necessary. Because you are envious and jealous and even feel inferior. It is only yourself that you suffer, and it won't cause the other person to have the slightest harm.
When Yuchen saw Yuxi and thought of her brother who died early, she felt a little sad. But looking at Yuxi wearing a crescent-white clothes had a two-point affection for Yuxi: "Grandma didn't sleep well yesterday, this will be returning to sleep. Sister Si, you can sit in my room for a while!"
Yuxi was a little surprised. She didn't get this treatment in her previous life, but she still happily responded, "Okay." The old lady loves Yuchen, and she has been by her side since Yuchen was born.
