Chapter 38
Chapter 38
It didn't take long to return to the capital, but the journey back to the capital took more than [-] years, which made her at a loss for a while.Childhood memories have already become blurred. Seven years is not long, nor is it short. The Holy City is much different from what I remember, but the overall pattern has not changed much.
The Hua family brothers went back to their own home first, and waited until everything settled down to see a doctor.Jiu Jiuyi drove to Yue's house in a small carriage, and the job of guiding the way was handed over to Yueyou. Jiu Jiu sat alone in the carriage, feeling a little timid.Her coming back this time was purely a temporary decision, and no one in the family should know about it.I heard Xiaoyouzi say that after that incident, the family was like a tree falling and a monkey scattered. The older brothers and sisters left home, those who got married got married, and even their father became a monk and wandered away.But this time she came back mainly to become Wushuang.
"Call..."
"Miss, we're home." Hearing Xiaoyouzi shouting outside, Jiujiu didn't move. The curtain in front of her was as light as a cloud of smoke, but in her eyes, it seemed to weigh a thousand catties, so heavy that she didn't even have the courage to raise her hand to touch it. No.
"Miss, we've arrived at the Yue family's mansion, do you want to come down? Or should we come back another day?" Zi Qing half opened the curtain, and looked at the person sitting inside.After a while, she put down the curtain, and just about to say that she should go to the inn to rest, when she heard a brisk voice, still with the youthful and crisp sound of a teenager, but said unrefined words: "Oh, this Which family's beauty is she? What's your sister's name? How old is she? Where did you come from?" He added a tone of voice as he spoke, making it sound like he was singing.
"Eighth Young Master." Xiao Youzi called him, and then peeked at Zi Qing's face, Zi Qing didn't have any expression, and thought he was nothing but air.
"Hey, little pomelo, where have you been these days? Did you bring this beautiful sister back?"
Before Xiaoyuzi could answer, she saw a slender and white hand protruding from the curtain of the car, gently grasping the curtain.Ziqing said warmly: "Miss, do you want to get out of the car?"
Yue Wufa's eyes were also attracted by the gazes of these two people, and he couldn't help but wonder who the owner of that jade hand was. He should be a beauty, but he didn't know what he was doing here.
Jiujiu finally opened the curtain, and the long-lost, unfamiliar yet familiar air rushed towards her face, making her almost dazzled by the smoke.She got out of the car and saw the boy looking up and down at her.
Yue Wufa felt it was a pity in his heart, he thought he could see the beauty by opening the curtain, but he saw that girl was wearing a whole nanmu mask, it seemed that she had a rash on her face, and she came to see Yue Wushuang for treatment .He only took a few glances and then looked away. He has never been interested in anyone related to Yue Wushuang, let alone an ugly woman.
He shook his arms and walked towards the gate. After walking a few steps, he turned back and said to his little follower: "Find a way for me to tie up the kid I saw in the afternoon and call him Qinggao. I want to deal with him properly, Ba Ye."
"Master, don't you look down on him?"
"I fell in love again, okay?"
"Master Eighth..."
"Little Youzi, what are you talking about?" He looked at Xiaoyouzi impatiently, does she even care about himself?Xiaoyouzi looked at Jiujiu worriedly, fearing that the Eighth Young Master's behavior would make the young lady run away in anger.
Jiujiu looked at the eighth brother who was completely different from what she remembered, and finally realized that the incident had not only affected her alone. She subconsciously walked forward and gently grabbed Yue Wufa's arm: "Don't stop Bullying others, okay?"
"Who are you?!" Yue Wufa wanted to shake off her hand, but accidentally scraped off the mask on her face. The nanmu mask fell on the bluestone floor, rolled over a few times, and made a muffled sound like A string of drumbeats hit his nerves.He opened his mouth slightly in a daze, and his soul flew straight to the sky. Is there such a beauty in this world?
More importantly... "I seem to have seen this sister somewhere before. I'm afraid that we met in the previous life, and we met in this life. It must be fate that brought us together. Good sister, the old eight Yue in the Xiayue family is ruthless, a good-looking person full of talent and learning , not as good as you and me..."
Jiujiu was still a little nervous at first, but seeing that the eighth brother had become so virtuous after seeing him, he couldn't help laughing, this made Yue Wufa seven souls go to six souls, and couldn't even speak.
She changed her mind and pretended not to take it seriously: "Just now I heard from the young master that he seems to have taken a fancy to a noble young master, this..."
"That's a joke, a joke, that's my friend, just a friend, Li Zi, go and deliver some food to brother Feng's family, it's good."
He was giving orders, looking at Jiujiu with a fawning smile from time to time, but he heard the voice of the old housekeeper from the door, with great surprise and surprise: "Miss Jiujiu is back! Miss..." Yue Ren ran out, Without paying attention, he pushed Yue Wufa aside, "Miss...Miss is getting thinner. Little Yuzi, how do you take care of Miss?!"
"Uncle Ren, it's none of Xiaoyouzi's business, I'm fine now."
"Come on, miss, let's go into the house, it's very cold outside. Xiaoyouzi, what are you still doing? Why don't you go in and ask them to prepare food and hot water, and catch the wind for the miss."
Ziqing followed Jiujiu into the house, leaving Yue Wufa standing blankly at the door, and the two servants beside him stared in bewilderment at the expression on the face of the dandy young master she had followed for a long time that suddenly became real. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..."
The return of Yue Wujiu seems to have dripped a circle of fragrant ripples in the silent pool water, making the air in the whole Yuejia recirculate.Yue Wulu was reading a book on the attic of the inner courtyard, but suddenly heard a noise, pursed his lips, and thought that Yue Wufa was tossing around in the mansion again, and just about to lower his head and return to the book, he heard a knock on the door close at hand .
"Master, it's Miss Jiu, come out and have a look."
"Which Jiu Xiao... Xiaojiu?!" Yue Wulu stood up abruptly, without even feeling that he had dropped his favorite book, rushed to the door, but stopped, turned around, and poured water on the washstand Li looked at it, and immediately frowned: "Get me some clean clothes, quick!"
Jiujiu was forced to sit in the hall to rest, watching the family members busy to and fro for her own happiness, except for watching quietly and with a smile on her face, any excuse would be superfluous.Their happiness comes from the bottom of their hearts... It's because she has always been too selfish and always afraid to face the family that once "abandoned" her. These years, they could have lived a happier life.
Two people came in pushing and shoving outside, one was the eighth brother who had made fun of him just now and now he was extremely shy, and the other... was the sixth brother.Jiujiu stood up and looked at them, but didn't know what to say.
"Brother Six..." She shouted this sentence, and was embraced by the thin bookish man. She was startled, but suddenly heard him sobbing softly.Seeing him like this, Yue Wufa also rushed over and wailed: "Little Jiu, where have you been all these years... We really miss you..."
Jiujiu was so distressed by the crying, she also shed tears: "I'm sorry, brother, I'm sorry, Xiaojiu came back late, I'm sorry..." When what happened back then, they were still young. She used her own way to make up for the powerlessness and indifference at that time. It was she who had been refusing to forgive that made all this so unbearable.
The family used to be full of people, but now apart from a large number of servants and servants, only the two brothers and Yue Wushuang are often at home, and rarely see each other.The Yue family has changed too much, but the traces of Jiujiu's life have not been changed. Her room, her favorite medicine garden and swing, and even a plate of untouched sweet-scented osmanthus cakes on the table every day when eating, everything is like her. never left.
Jiujiu was led for a walk around the house by her two elder brothers, and gradually recovered her mood, and told them the reason for returning to Beijing this time.
"Wife is still alive? Sanniang is also alive? Why didn't they...why didn't they take you to escape?"
"Brother Six, I don't want to guess why for the time being. I haven't seen my mother yet, only Brother Seven. My mother...wouldn't see me. I don't know. I don't want to hate anyone. All these years, I It was very frustrating, so I don't want to go through this feeling again."
"Little Jiu, you will stay at home, will you stay at home all the time, right? We are not the helpless kids we were back then, we can all protect you."
"Old Ba, what are you talking about? I have already passed the exam, and the official document is about to be dismissed. You bully people outside all day, and you have the nerve to speak big?" Yue Wulu raised his eyebrows.But seeing Yue Wufa pursed his mouth, he said unconvinced: "I also have advantages, okay? In the streets and alleys of this capital, I know who is jumping around. If there are strange people coming, I will You can know immediately, let alone with Xiaojiu, those who are bullied by me in the future, I will come to apologize one by one, you stay at home all day and do not go out, I am a know-it-all in the capital."
In my impression, Sixth Brother and Eighth Brother always liked to bicker with each other, and Seventh Brother was always the peacemaker, and she watched Giggle from the sidelines.Seeing the familiar family members, a smile quietly raised.
Turning his head, he saw the silver-haired woman standing blankly at the door with one hand on the door, with the light behind her back, her expression could not be seen clearly, but even so, Jiujiu still looked at her firmly with a smile on her face.
"Sister Wushuang, I'm back."
