Come to the door

"Who?" As Ji Cailan's voice came, the door was quickly opened.

Seeing that it was Xin You, Ji Cailan was surprised and happy: "Sister Kou, why are you here? Come in quickly."

Xin You stood at the door without moving, took out the jade pendant: "I found this in the guest room of the bookstore, thinking that it was either Sister Ji or Sister Zhou's. That day, Sister Ji said that your home lives in Maoer Hutong in Jixiangfang.

I came over and asked, and I asked as soon as I asked.”

"Oh, this is my cousin's jade pendant." Ji Cailan recognized it at a glance and felt embarrassed immediately. "I'm asking Sister Kou to send it here specially. It's really causing you trouble."

"Sister Ji is polite. I am idle and I am just out to get some breath. To be honest, when you and Sister Zhou didn't come to the bookstore, I kept napping in the library and was disliked by my friend."

After hearing what Xin You said, Ji Cailan relaxed suddenly, especially the words "I am idle and idle", which made her invitation blurt out: "If Sister Kou is fine, should she go to find her cousin with me?"

"Okay." Xin You nodded with a smile, and her heart settled.

The Zhou family and the Ji family are only separated by two alleys, and Xin You looks like she has never been here before: "Sister Ji and Sister Zhou's house are so close."

Ji Cailan smiled and said, "My mother helped me find my cousin's house, just because I thought that the two families would be closer and easy to get along."

"Then are you cousins?"

"Yes, my mother is my uncle's sister. My uncle was away from home and only came to Beijing at the beginning of the year."

"That's great, with relatives taking care of each other and the bustling and bustling city."

After hearing Xin You say this, Ji Cailan couldn't help but nod: "Yes, what my cousin envied the most was that I could buy all kinds of good-looking notebooks in the capital. But the notebooks are also expensive, and my mother always talks about me spending money indiscriminately."

For ordinary people, hundreds of folks are a lot of pure entertainment. But there is nothing we can do. Paper, pen and ink are never cheap things, and with the labor, the cost of books is not low.

"I actually envy my cousin. My uncle is the only daughter, and my cousin has more pocket money than mine."

Seeing that the Zhou family was about to arrive, Xin You kept talking quietly: "My uncle must be very capable and can settle his family in the capital."

When talking about Zhou Ningyue's father, Ji Cailan showed envious expressions: "My uncle is indeed very powerful. Not only has he been promoted, he was promoted to the Jinlin Weibei Town Fushi."

"Beizhen Fushi?" Xin You looked confused and thought of He Qingxiao in her heart.

Zhou Ningyue's father was actually under Lord He.

Seeing that Xin You didn't understand, Ji Cailan explained with a little pride: "Don't look at it all Jinlin Guards, the difference is so big. The most glorious one here is the Beizhen Fushi..."

For ordinary people, Jinlin Guards are also arrested as officials. They have no time to care about their common people. The famous Jinlin Guards are far away from them. Therefore, ordinary people's impression of Jinlin Guards is of glory and majesty, and

Unlike all officials and nobles, there is a layer of disgust.

Xin You nodded from time to time and became a perfect listener.

While talking, Zhou Ningyue's family arrived. Unlike the Ji family, there was also a gatekeeper in the Zhou family, which also shows that the Zhou family has a better life than the Ji family.

Without reporting, the disciples let Ji Cailan and Xin You in.

Ji Cailan knew that her uncle was not at home at this time, so she walked up the steps with Xin You's hand in hand, and shouted: "Auntie, cousin, I'm here."

Soon the footsteps sounded, Zhou Ningyue walked out and saw Xin You standing beside Ji Cailan, and looked surprised: "Cousin, are you going to find Sister Kou again?"

Ji Cailan smiled and said, "It's Sister Kou who came to find us specifically. Cousin, didn't you find anything missing?"

"What did you lose?" Zhou Ningyue subconsciously lowered her head, looked at her and exclaimed, "My jade pendant!"

Xin You handed over the jade pendant: "Sister Zhou, please see if it's this?"

"It's this!" Zhou Ningyue took it, breathing a sigh of relief and wondering, "I don't know when it fell."

“I found it in the guest room.”

"Thanks to Sister Kou." Zhou Ningyue held Xin You's hand and thanked her.

"Are you a visitor?" A gentle female voice came.

Xin You looked over.

The curtain came out of a beautiful woman in her thirties, with a round face and almond eyes like Zhou Ningyue. The mother and daughter looked eighty-slightly, but they couldn't hide their haggard expressions.

"Mom, I am my new friend Sister Kou." Zhou Ningyue introduced her tone with a light tone.

Xin You bowed her knees and saluted: "Hello aunt."

The woman showed a kind smile: "What a beautiful child. Yue'er, Cailan, you can entertain your friends well and stay for lunch together."

It was the age when Zhou Ningyue liked to make friends, and she responded happily when she heard this.

"Go to the west wing to play." The woman smiled.

"I've disturbed my aunt."

Xin You said a polite word, and Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan took one hand to the west wing.

The woman went back to the house and told the maid: "Cut a fruit plate for the girls and send it to you, and then tell Aunt Wang that you can add two more dishes for lunch."

The maid took the order and left. The woman leaned against the bedside and smiled, her face becoming more tired.

The west wing room is completely arranged by a girl in the boudoir. As the owner, Zhou Ningyue talks more than when she was in the bookstore.

The three of them were talking and laughing while eating fruits. It was noon soon. Xin You politely wanted to say goodbye, but was stopped by Zhou Ningyue.

"My mother must have told the kitchen. If Sister Kou doesn't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste?"

As he was talking, the maid brought the food in.

"Girl, let me say hello to Miss Kou, so she won't be with you, so as not to be restrained."

Without elders present, lunch was spent in a relaxed atmosphere. Xin You obviously felt that Ji was closer to her.

Sure enough, eating, drinking and chatting are powerful tools to get closer.

She offered to say goodbye again, and Zhou Ningyue and Ji Cailan accompanied him to meet Zhou's mother.

"Why don't you play for a while?" Zhou's mother asked in a warm voice.

"There are still some things at home, so I'll come to visit my aunt again next day."

Zhou's mother was very kind: "Yue'er has been stuck at home and is rarely a friend she has gotten along. Miss Kou must come often."

"Auntie, I will come often." Xin You responded openly, her eyes flashing.

The picture suddenly came.

Under the full moon, the wind blew the tree, and Zhou's mother knelt under the tree and burned paper money. A man pulled her up and said something angrily.

Zhou's mother pushed the man away with excitement, and accidentally fell while pulling, pressing her hand into the basin that was burning with burning paper money.

Before Xin You could see Zhou's mother's painful expression clearly, the picture in front of her suddenly dissipated, and what caught her eye was the beautiful face of Zhou's mother with a kind smile.

Xin You calmed down and said goodbye to Zhou's mother without changing her face.

Zhou Ningyue sent Xin You and Ji Cailan out, and was surprised to see the person who was walking here: "Dad, why are you back at this time?"

Xin You turned her head and looked at Zhou's father who was walking towards her.
