The news of Yu Lanyan's extermination of the clan soon reached Yu Xijiao. Yu Ruiwen sent someone to inform her to go back home to rest first, and told Yu Xijiao about it by the way.
Yu Xijiao took Nanny Xu and Qingyue back first, followed by Yu Yuxi.
Yu Xijiao was not in good health, so Yu Ruiwen asked them to go back as close as possible and take the side door between the two mansions instead of going back in the carriage in front. As for the carriage they were riding in before, it would be empty back to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
The two sisters returned to Xuanpinghou's Mansion through the side door. When they arrived at Xuanpinghou's Mansion, the doctor Yu Ruiwen invited had already arrived. He re-diagnosed and treated Yu Xijiao and prescribed medicine.
Yu Ruiwen didn't quite trust the doctor he hired at Zhengyuan Hou's Mansion.
After taking medicine and resting, Yu Xijiao's energy recovered a lot. When she was in Jiangnan, she was always favored and Mrs. Xie raised her very well.
"Girl!" Hearing the movement on the bed, Qingyue hurriedly helped her up to wash herself.
After finishing washing, Yu Xijiao looked at the stacks of papers placed on the small table, which were what Qingyue was busy with just now.
"What's this?"
"The mansion is going to pay homage to the folded paper money. This slave specially asked for it. When the girl goes to pay homage, you can bring it with you." Qingyue said.
Qingyue knew that her girl was grateful to Mr. Lanxuan County, so she thought of folding some paper money herself, so that when she went to worship, the girl would appear more sincere.
"Do you have larger rice paper?" Yu Xijiao was silent for a moment and asked.
"There should be, right? What's the use of this girl?" Qingyue asked curiously. This kind of paper is obviously better for origami money, so why can we use rice paper?
"I want to poke some paper figures." Yu Xijiao said.
"Girl, you want to make a paper man?" Qingyue asked in surprise.
"Yes, since you are going to worship the county king, you must be sincere. It will show your sincerity even more if you tie two paper figures and burn them together." Yu Xijiao said.
When she was in Jiangnan, when Yu Xijiao paid homage to her biological mother, Xie, she would make the paper figurines herself. Her grandmother said this was more sincere.
For so many years, on her mother’s memorial day, Yu Xijiao burned all the paper figurines she made herself.
"The girl's hand is injured, how can you prick it yourself? It's better to let the slave do it!" Qingyue looked at Yu Xijiao's hand and advised.
"My hand is no longer in the way. I just used a little too much force before." Yu Xijiao shook her hand gently. Although it still hurt, the injury was not that serious.
Seeing that Yu Xijiao insisted on doing this, Qingyue could only retreat. After a while, she came over with some rice paper, some paints, and bamboo strips. Although the paper figures in front of the hall were used to worship Bai Shi, they were
Some of the colors that were first painted in the Jiangnan area are very bright.
Of course, looking at it will also make people feel oozing.
Yu Xijiao thought for a while, then she drew a few strokes, wiped her hand, and felt it was pretty good. Then she officially started writing. Qingyue was folding paper money on the side.
The master and servant were quietly in the house, each busy with his own business.
In the quiet moment, suddenly the curtain was lifted, and Nanny Xu hurried in: "Girl."
The pen in Yu Xijiao's hand fell down and she drew a long line: "How is Grandma Xu?"
As soon as she returned home, she asked Nanny Xu to wait, probably within a day or two. She didn't expect it to happen so quickly, and a hint of ice flashed in her eyes.
"Here we are, right at the back door." Nanny Xu said, reaching out and pointing out, "I'm very urgent. I have something important to say to the girl."
"Come on, let's go take a look." Yu Xijiao thought for a while and said, this is the backyard, it's really inconvenient for men to come in. Besides, there will be many people seen along the way. We can't hide this from anyone, so we just go to the back door.
Here, there are few people to see, and things can be said clearly.
Aunt Xu responded and led the way, while Yu Xijiao led Qingyue to the back door.
Outside the back door, the manager of Xiyi Zhai was sweating profusely. He had been waiting outside the door for a while. The back door was tightly closed. He didn't know if the third girl could come out.
Just as I was thinking about it, the back door opened, and Grandma Xu appeared at the door. Seeing Steward Qi outside, she waved to him, and Steward Qi hurried in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yu Xijiao standing in front of the door. He hurriedly saluted: "I have met the third girl."
"Is something wrong?" Yu Xijiao asked calmly.
"Yes... there is something important..." Manager Qi looked at a woman standing aside. This was the woman guarding the back door.
"Where can I sit here?" Yu Xijiao asked.
The woman who was guarding the door reached out and pointed to the right, and said flatteringly: "Third Miss, there is an attic where you can rest, enjoy the scenery, and receive guests."
If it was the third girl who just came back, no one in the house would take her seriously, but now no one dares to look down on this third girl.
The environment of the attic is indeed good. It faces a rockery. There are several huge beauty trees planted beside the rockery, with rich leaves and bright flowers.
"Manager Qi, have you found the person?" Yu Xijiao asked as she sat down without caring about admiring the scenery.
"Third Miss, it seems... we have found it." Manager Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and said.
Yu Xijiao frowned and said, "I think I found it."
"It looks like it, but he refuses to admit it, and he looks... very embarrassed." Manager Qi said.
"Where is he?" Yu Xi stood up suddenly, holding her hands on the table to calm herself down, suppressing the excitement in her heart.
"We are in the shop now." Manager Qi said, "There is no one else around, there is only... this one person. The subordinate is afraid of making a mistake, so he asked Shiba to stay there and guard him."
"Let's go!" Yu Xijiao reached out and covered her chest. She felt that she could no longer wait any longer and made a decision immediately.
"Third Miss, the Marquis will know." Aunt Xu reminded her.
"It's okay, I've already told my father about this." Yu Xijiao said. She explained the matter of Yu Lanxuan's shop in front of everyone. On the one hand, she wanted to silence everyone in Zhengyuan Hou Mansion.
On the other hand, he also had to explain this matter to Yu Ruiwen, so that he could understand the causes and consequences of this matter.
If I use this reason to go out next time, it will be much easier.
At this moment, she couldn't wait any longer. Her heart skipped a few beats, and she felt her heart pounding with panic. She had a feeling that the person Steward Qi was talking about was her younger brother, who must have come to Beijing.
She must find her brother and protect her brother.
Her heart was beating violently. If she hadn't sent someone to the city gate at that time, if she hadn't thought of this incident when she was reborn, something might have happened to her brother. She had already been in trouble. If something happened to her younger brother again, how could her mother survive alone?
Be with the world!
There were no elders in the house, so Yu Xijiao didn't need to tell anyone else, so she got into the carriage with Qingyue and headed to Xiyi Zhai.
When they arrived at the entrance of Xiyi Zhai, Manager Qi led Yu Xijiao to the tent room.
When she opened the door, she saw the pale boy, his feet stopped, his eyes were sour, this... was her youngest brother, really her brother.
The door closed silently behind her. Yu Xijiao slowly loosened her clenched fists and took a deep breath. Only then did she let go. Her brother was okay!
After escaping from life, they finally escaped from life. The fate of their family was no longer in a deadlock. My heart felt sour and astringent, and I almost shed tears.
After calming down for a while, he slowly walked over.
The young man sitting in the chair raised his pale face and looked warily at Yu Xijiao, who was walking slowly over. His splendid clothes were almost broken and even stained with mud. He looked in a miserable state, with only a pair of eyes.
With his spiritual intelligence, you can tell at a glance that he is an alert young man.
Yu Chengxuan, the eldest son of Zhengyuan Hou, is only ten years old now. When his father passed away three years ago, he was only seven years old and had been weak and sick since he was a child.
There are many famous doctors in Jiangnan, and the temperature is more suitable for recuperating.
My mother obeyed my grandfather's wishes and sent my younger brother to Jiangnan to seek treatment from famous doctors. In the past, I would go back to Beijing to live for a period of time. After my father passed away, my grandfather's wishes and for the sake of his health made it inconvenient to go back and forth to the capital from time to time.
With Jiangnan, I simply recuperated my body in Jiangnan and then returned to Beijing.
This separation lasted three full years.
But even like this, when she saw the young boy in front of her, Yu Xijiao recognized it immediately. Thinking that her younger brother might be in danger at the city gate, Yu Xijiao's heart never relaxed for a moment, for fear that what happened in her dream would happen.
It has become a fact, and now after relaxing, the whole person feels like he is in vain.
Her body swayed and she almost fell, Qingyue hurriedly stepped forward to help her.
However, Yu Xijiao gently pushed Qingyue away. After regaining her composure, she slowly walked up to Yu Chengxuan. After carefully checking his expression, she stretched out her hand and touched his forehead gently.
It's warm!
Pursing her lips vigorously, looking at the little boy's wary eyes and slightly tilted head, Yu Xijiao smiled with red eyes.
"I'm not the person you are looking for." Yu Chengxuan tilted his head back to avoid Yu Xijiao's touch. His expression was nervous and a little excited. He glared at Yu Xijiao fiercely and clenched his fists.
"I am the third daughter of Marquis Xuanping, and also your elder sister." Yu Xijiao calmed down and said softly to the young boy in front of her.
"Are you the third girl from the Xuanpinghou Mansion?" Yu Chengxuan thought for a while and asked, the guard in his eyes still not letting go. He knew that the Xuanpinghou Mansion was right next door to them, and Mrs. Xuanpinghou was the second aunt's cousin.
Looking at Yu Chengxuan's expression, Yu Xijiao suddenly felt something in her heart. She squatted down slowly and looked into Yu Chengzhan's eyes calmly: "You don't believe me?"
"You have recognized the wrong person. I really am not the person you are looking for." Yu Chengxuan lowered his head to hide the panic in his eyes. He was only a ten-year-old boy. He had lived peacefully in Jiangnan for so many years.
If you enter Beijing with a letter, you will encounter such great dangers.
He almost didn't make it to Beijing alive, and now he is wary of others.
"My mother is from the Xie family in Jiangnan. The current Mrs. Xuanpinghou was my father's common wife. I have been living in Jiangnan for so many years. I was rescued by Lanxuan County Lord three years ago." Yu Xi said softly,
Her eyes were full of smiles, and her beautiful eyes were as clear as water under her long eyelashes, "You can call me sister."
You can call me sister, you should call me sister, because I am your sister!
Not the biological daughter of Mrs. Xuanpinghou? Yu Chengxuan thought about it. He was still young when he left the capital. In fact, he didn’t know much about the affairs of the Xuanpinghou Mansion. It was just the recent letter from his grandfather that made him a little more wary. But
What he didn't expect was that before he could enter Beijing, something happened to his grandfather's family.
