Chapter 552 Dark Forest [Part 1](1/2)

Early in the morning, Jiao Shun just stood up from Hongyu. The jade bracelet next to him was immediately awakened. He hurriedly pushed Hongyu and scolded: "If you don't get up, I'm already awake!"

Hongyu sat up in a daze, and saw that Yuchai had already begun to help Jiao Shun get dressed. She shuddered and suddenly woke up a lot. She didn't bother to cover her body full of marks, and hurriedly put on her shoes and got off the ground, half-kneeling on the bed.

Help Jiao Shun put on his trouser legs and put on his shoes and socks.

"Today is a holiday, what are you in a hurry for?"

Jiao Shun yawned, rested his head on the collarbone of the jade bracelet, and asked, "How is the injury on your foot?"

"It's good morning. It's Sister Si Qi who made such a fuss. It alarmed me."

As Yuchuan spoke, he straightened his left leg and moved his ankle a few times. The movement was obviously still a little stiff, but the swelling had gone away.

"Let's rest for a few more days."

Jiao Shun stood up and stepped on his boots. Hong Yu hurriedly lifted his pants to his waist and buckled his belt.

At this time, Qingwen, who had been on duty all night in the main room, opened the door and came in. She saw two snow-white flesh worms under the bed. Jiao Shun was the only one who looked majestic. She couldn't help but spat lightly and pushed the towel and wooden basin in her hand to Hongyu.

, said: "You guys use it first, I'll get another pot."

After all, Lin Hongyu still felt ashamed. She blushed and lowered her head to take the wooden basin, hurriedly placed it on the shelf, and then hurriedly wrapped herself in a coat.

Although Yuchai's legs and feet were not flexible, he did not sit idle. He limped down to the ground, scalded his toothbrush with boiling water, and melted tooth powder with warm water.

"Let me do it."

Upon seeing this, Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward to straighten the spittoon and poured some cold water into the mouthwash cup.

Jiao Shun slowly began to brush his teeth.

At this time, someone else opened the curtain and came in. Everyone thought it was Qingwen who had left and returned, but it was Siqi who didn't want to come in.

Because it was not convenient for Jiao Shun to speak, Hongyu hurriedly asked: "But what's going on with my aunt?"

There are two bedrooms in the west wing, Qingwen, Hongyu, and Jade Chai occupy one, and Siqi, Xiangling, and Wuer occupy the other.

Siqi came into this room, naturally he had something to say.

"I'm looking for you."

Si Qi yawned and said: "Yesterday Xiuju came to me and said that the second girl asked me to come over - because something happened over there, I thought I should go over and have a look, so I agreed.

,Who would have thought that the eldest sister made such a fuss yesterday..."

Jiao Shun spit out the tooth powder from his mouth and asked anxiously: "What happened to Zhixia?"

"Nothing."

Siqi quickly turned to him and said, "It's just that I slept a little longer during the day and became energetic again in the middle of the night."

"oh."

Once he heard that his daughter was okay, Jiao took the tooth powder in his mouth again and rubbed it up and down.

When Siqi saw that he had nothing to say, he explained to Hongyu again: "I was worried that you wouldn't be able to take care of it by yourself, so I originally wanted to postpone it until tomorrow, but my aunt said that since I agreed, it would be best to go and take a look. After all,

The second girl has recently..."

Naturally, everyone in the family had heard about the feud between Jia Yingchun and Jia She and his daughter.

Hongyu said: "Isn't there still a nanny here? The two of us are enough."

"Nanny also stayed up half the night yesterday, and my aunt and Xiangling..."

Just as he was talking, Qingwen came in from outside with a basin of water and interrupted: "Sister, don't worry, Hongyu and I will wait in the east room. Anyway, I slept well last night, and I'm not as energetic as them."

It’s even stronger.”

As he said this, he glanced at the fact that he was only wearing a jade bracelet with a bellyband.

Yu Chuan also glared back without showing any signs of weakness. The two of them didn't look at each other very well from the beginning. Fortunately, there was a chess player above him to control them. Otherwise, they would have fought openly and covertly many times.

Jiao Shun was impatient to listen to these petty parents. After washing up, he went back to the east wing - it was almost midnight when he came back from Mei's house yesterday. In order not to disturb Xing Xiuyan and his children, he stayed in the west wing as usual.

inside.

When he arrived in the east room, he originally wanted to tease his daughter, but when he went to the south room, he found that the little guy had been making noise all night, and now he was sleeping soundly.

Seeing that Xing Xiuyan was not showing up at all, he asked her to take a nap first, then go to the north room and spread out the four treasures of the study, preparing to report everything that happened yesterday.

Because it is a personal experience, not only the writing is flowing, but at least the writing is flowing.

By the time we had breakfast, we had already written a draft of more than 2,000 words, bringing Mapleson's strange face to life on the page.

Just as he was working up the courage to describe everything in the ear room, Hong Yu came over and asked whether he wanted to eat in the main room or in the east wing.

Jiao Shun felt disappointed, but after listening to Hong Yu's words, he really felt hungry in his belly, so he dropped his brush and said: "Go to the main room, the master has gone to the Yamen. It would be good for me to talk to my mother to relieve her boredom."

When they entered the main room, Xing Xiuyan had already come to serve the dishes. Seeing that she was still a little out of energy, Jiao stepped forward to replace her and said: "Go back and rest quickly. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, you can come to my room in the afternoon."

Have a good night’s sleep.”

Xing Xiuyan gave in and saw that he insisted on this, so she had no choice but to plead guilty to Mrs. Xu and go back to the east wing to rest.

"Yesterday I learned that Xia slept too much during the day and got up late at night, causing a lot of noise in the whole room."

Jiao Shun was explaining the reason to his mother when he suddenly heard the jade bracelet talking to someone outside. He picked up the curtain and took a look, but it was Caiyun, Mrs. Wang's personal maid.

He couldn't help but rolled his eyes, stepped out and asked, "Why is Miss Caiyun here? Does the second wife have some errands?"

Caiyun hurriedly put down his jade bracelet and came forward to greet him. He said with a smile: "It's still our second master's business. My wife called him over yesterday and asked him, and she found out that he was confused in many places, so I wanted to ask him to come over and give some advice.

.”

Tsk~

Sure enough, it was pretty much what I had guessed.

Jiao Shun pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll go there after I finish breakfast - should I go directly to Yihongyuan, or go somewhere else to get it together?"

"Master, please go to our hut first. My wife has some things she wants to discuss with you."

After Caiyun was sent away, he limped over with the toothbrush in his hand, curled his lips and said unhappily: "I'm not as good as before now, I should have Baoyu come over and ask you for advice, but why are you yelling at me like this?"

No etiquette at all!"

Mrs. Wang is not unreasonable, but she is thinking about eating Tang Monk's meat.

Jiao Shun was too lazy to pay attention to her at first, but then he thought again that it was not an option to keep doing this. Besides, Aunt Xue had to ask her to help cover up.

He simply went to avenge that rider.

…………

Grand View Garden, Qiu Shuang Zhai.

Because Jia Tanchun understood the law of the jungle, he has obviously lost a lot of energy in the past few days without thinking about tea or food.

For this reason, Shi Shu specially ordered two light and delicious appetizers today, but Tanchun still couldn't work up his appetite. He only tasted them briefly and put down his chopsticks.

The servant tried to persuade him for a long time but to no avail, so he had to pack up the barely touched food and prepare to take it to his room to share with the little maids. As soon as he left the house, he saw Cui Mo coming back from outside happily, so he asked casually:

"What? Aunt Lin showed mercy outside the law?"

This Aunt Lin refers to Lin Hongyu's mother and Lin Zhixiao's wife.

"How is that possible!"

When Cui Mo heard her mentioning Aunt Lin, the joy on her face immediately disappeared. She pouted and said: "I tried to talk to her, but she just said that the expenses in the house have been too high recently, and this month's monthly payment will be saved until the beginning of next month."

Let’s send it together!”

"Then why are you so happy?"

"I met Sister Siqi on the way back."

Mentioning Siqi, Cuimo's face showed a bit of envy: "She saw that I was unhappy, so she asked a few questions. Knowing that I was anxiously waiting for money, she lent me two taels of silver first, saying that she was waiting for my monthly payment.

Just give it back to her."

"Siqi?!"

Before the waiter could speak, Tanchun suddenly opened the curtain and came out of the inner room, asking, "Where did you meet her?"

"It's right in the garden."

Cui Mo pointed out sideways: "It was said that the second girl was looking for her, so she gave me the money and hurried towards Zhujin Tower."

Tanchun nodded noncommittally upon hearing this.

After walking back and forth in front of the door for a few steps, she decided to go to Zhuijin Tower to have a look. Although she didn't know what the use of meeting Siqi was, it was better than staying at home and doing nothing.

At this time, Siqi had also arrived at Qiu Shuangzhai.

When they met Xiu Ju, the two sisters were naturally affectionate, but after meeting Jia Yingchun, the atmosphere between the master and the servant was a bit awkward - after all, before Si Qi transferred to the Jiao family, the master and the servant had already had a quarrel.

Very unhappy.

Unprecedented, this time Yingchun actually took the initiative to say hello: "Excuse me for running away, please sit down and talk first - Xiuju, I won't show your sister tea yet."

Hearing her crisp words made Si Qi feel a bit at a loss - she had grown up watching Yingchun, how had she ever seen these two girls look like this?

When the master and the servant sat down respectively, Si Qi looked up and down and sighed: "They say that the second girl seems to have changed. I couldn't believe it at first, but who knew it was true."
