Hearing that Lin Daiyu called herself "Su Qier", Jiao Shun smiled faintly and did not answer. He walked to the main seat under the north wall and sat down. He stretched out his hand to twist the lid of the purple clay pot and glanced inside, then put it back with a click.

Seeing his ostentatious behavior, Lin Daiyu subconsciously tightened the handkerchief in her hand, smacked her moist red lips smeared with grease, and was hesitating whether to call Zicuckoo in to pour tea, when she heard Jiao Shun straighten his back and say: "

Before I came here today, I told Xiangyun everything."

The handkerchief in Lin Daiyu's hand became twisted in an instant, her eyebrows were furrowed tightly, she stared at Jiao Shun and hesitated for a long time, but the twisting force on her body suddenly relaxed.

A pair of loving eyes slightly raised, as if asking: But she didn't come, right?

"She is afraid that if you are thin-skinned, she will become even more extreme when she sees you."

After Jiao Shun finished speaking, he stared at Lin Daiyu without blinking an eye: "Actually, you don't have to do this. The main reason why I took action this time was because I was worried that Xiangyun would be overly worried about this - if the child is gone, it will be two years later at worst.

, but if the root cause of the disease develops because of this, it will be a lifelong matter!"

After hearing these words, Lin Daiyu's tense expression obviously relaxed a lot, and she slightly opened her red lips and said softly: "I know."

But these three words have no further meaning.

Facing Sister Lin, who suddenly became concise and concise in her speech, Jiao Shun felt as if he had punched an empty space. There were still many words to pave the way, but at this time, they were all inappropriate.

So he simply stood up and said in a desperate manner: "Sister, since I know everything, I won't waste any more words - you clean up first, and I will have someone take you back in the afternoon. I will only tell the outside world that I was intercepted on the canal."

.”

With that said, he walked out.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu first blocked Jiao Shun with her arms crossed, then took two steps back to the door, grabbed the bolt and locked the door in one go.

Jiao Shun was secretly happy when he saw this, but his face sank and he raised his eyebrows and said, "Sister, are you really going to act like this?"

Lin Daiyu still did not speak, biting her red lips, lowered her head and walked step by step to the door of the bedroom, tremblingly stretched out her hand to roll up the Xiang curtain, and then turned sideways to invite you in.

Tsk~

Jiao Shun glanced sideways at the door bolt across the door, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times unconsciously. He thought to himself that this little girl didn't know anything. Since she wanted to force someone to lock up a man, she should at least prepare a chain or something.

You can get it open with just a flick...

He was so troubled that he was so full of grief that he had no way to vent his sorrow!

Since he couldn't sing a high-pitched tone of duplicity, and Jiao Shun was reluctant to just push the door open and leave, he could only sigh in embarrassment, and then walked into Lin Daiyu's boudoir.

The Xiang curtain slowly closed, and then the slightly thin door panel...

This is exactly:

The Xiang curtain is half rolled up and the door is half closed, and the ice is crushed into earth and jade for the basin.

I stole the white pistil and borrowed a wisp of the plum blossom's soul.

The immortal in the Moon Cave sews his silk gown, and the resentful girl in autumn wipes away the traces of her cry.

Who am I complaining to in silence? I am tired of leaning against the west wind and am already fainting at night.

——Lin Daiyu·"Ode to White Begonia"

…………

at the same time.

Everyone in the courtyard also understood Lin Daiyu's real purpose of temporarily renting this small courtyard and inviting Jiao Shun over.

Aunt Wang subconsciously looked inside and said worriedly: "Uncle Jiao is so majestic, but our sister Lin has been weak since she was a child. Isn't this going to cause some trouble?"

As she spoke, she turned back to look at Zicuckoo and Xueyan, wanting to seek some comfort, but she saw that the maids all had red faces and looked like they didn't understand.

Grandma Wang then remembered that everyone present except herself were all little girls she had never seen before, and she couldn't help but sigh again.

"Don't worry, Mom."

At this time, Xueyan came half a step later: "Old...Uncle Jiao doesn't know our girl's background, so he will never do such a cruel thing as destroying flowers."

After a pause, she changed the topic with a red face and said, "The most important thing now is how to persuade the girl to stay in the capital."

Did she just say 'Master'?

Zijuan quietly glanced sideways at Xueyan. At first, her little hoof was leaning towards Uncle Jiao, but now she has gained the upper hand.

Grandma Wang hadn't turned the corner yet, she raised her finger and pointed inside, wondering: "This is the case, sister, you still want to go back to Suzhou?"

"The girl just did this to repay her kindness, and had no intention of staying with Uncle Jiao forever." Zijuan sighed: "The second day after we moved into this courtyard, she asked Xueyan and me to go to the dock to inquire about chartering a boat to go south. The thing is obviously very serious."

A bitter look appeared on Nanny Wang's face, and she murmured indifferently: "Since we have to leave, why bother losing our reputation? How can we get married in Suzhou?"

Xue Yan pouted: "The girl has never thought about getting married, she only plans to stay..."

Before she could finish her words, Ou Guan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Putting aside the reputation, when the matter is over, go away and hide your merit and fame. This girl has clearly made her grudges clear!"

After a pause, she continued: "According to me, it's not necessarily bad to go to Suzhou. The Lin family should be a wealthy family in Suzhou. Besides, who doesn't know about our girl's relationship with Rongguo Mansion? Let's live our lives behind closed doors. , is there any blind person who dares to come to your door and harass me?"

As soon as these words came out, Xue Yan immediately became anxious: "What do you know?! The Lin family is a single generation of four generations. All the relatives in my hometown have already left the fifth server, and they have never had any contact with each other in the past days - without saying goodbye. Yes, the girl has never received a single word from Suzhou in all these years she has been in Rongguo Mansion!"

After saying that, he frowned at Ou Guan and said: "Even I, a native of Suzhou, don't know what the scene is like over there in Suzhou. How about you, as soon as your upper lip touches your lower lip, you dare to say that it may not be too bad?!"

"Ou Guan doesn't have any other intentions."

Just as Ou Guan was about to speak, Zi Juan rushed to explain to her first, but then added: "But the girl's body has always been delicate, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear the fatigue of traveling on the road."

She was the staunchest supporter of the Mu-Shi Alliance at the beginning, but now that the girl is about to devote herself to Uncle Jiao, what's the use of talking about it?

After listening to the two sisters expressing their attitudes one after another, Chunxian also hurriedly joined in and said: "The medicines that the girl has taken in the past few years were collected with great pains by Aunt Xing and asked by Uncle Jiao. Now her health has just improved. If she goes When we go to the south, let alone whether we can afford it, we may not be able to buy it even if we have money!"

Among the four people, three actually hoped that Lin Daiyu could stay in the capital.

This is not surprising. Zijuan, Xueyan, and Chunxian all grew up in the capital, and were raised in the mansion with Lin Daiyu since childhood. They rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with the outside world, let alone those thousands of miles away. Suzhou.

Therefore, everyone regarded going south as a fearful route.

And Ou Guan originally bought it from the south, and he was quite a manly person, so he naturally didn't think there was anything wrong with going to Suzhou.

But it was said that after the four maids each expressed their feelings, they unanimously turned their attention to Grandma Wang.

Although Grandma Wang has a very small role in the original work, due to her status as a wet nurse, she naturally has more say than others.

Zicuckoo walked over, pulled her sleeve and said softly: "Mother Wang, I'm afraid you have to come and get the charter for this matter."

"this……"

Grandma Wang muttered with a sad face: "It may not be appropriate to go to Suzhou. The journey is tiring and tiring, and it is indeed scary - but, can our girl be the one who listens to advice?"

"The more the merrier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xue Yan hurriedly said: "Let's work together, we are not afraid..."

Before she could finish her sentence, a shriek of shame suddenly came from the bedroom. The sound was not very loud, but the emotion that was suppressed but still unbearable was clearly conveyed to everyone.

There was a sudden silence in the yard.

The four maids looked at each other in confusion. After all, Grandma Wang had seen her before. She was the first to stamp her foot and said: "Look, look, I'm just saying that Uncle Jiao is so big and thick, how can it be so hard for us ladies?!"

As he said that, he quickly moved under the window sill, eager to find an angle to observe the situation inside.

When she found that the curtains were tightly covered, she put her ears to the edge of the window again, stood on tiptoes and listened attentively.

"Mother!"

Seeing this, Zijuan hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her, blushing and saying: "Please don't cause trouble. Uncle Jiao is sure, he will not..."

She couldn't say 'definitely not', but she just felt that Jiao Shun was a very clever person. Not to mention that he had been very considerate to his girl for so many years, just because of the affection between Shi Xiangyun and Xing Xiuyan,

It is impossible to be cruel to your own girl.

Xue Yan also came to persuade her, so Grandma Wang had no choice but to give up.

After this incident, everyone in the courtyard was completely out of their minds and no longer interested in talking.

Time passed minute by minute in silence.

Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, there was still no sign of troops retreating inside. Not to mention Grandma Wang, even Zicuckoo and Xueyan were a little worried, wondering how could their own girl be able to endure such a long period of torment?

Just as he was hesitating whether to ask through the window, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.

Zicuckoo and Xueyan didn't understand, so they ordered Chunxian and Ouguan to go and have a look outside the courtyard gate. If they found anything irrelevant, they sent them away directly.

Not long after, Chun Xian and Ou Guan folded back again, and there were four large food boxes in their hands. Looking at the struggling look of the two of them, one knew that there must be a lot of hard vegetables inside.

"Who sent this?"

Zicuckoo asked doubtfully.

Ou Guan put the food box in his hand on the ground and replied: "It's a nearby restaurant. They said they had paid a month's worth of money in advance and asked for it to be delivered to their doorstep every morning, noon and evening..."

Having said this, she picked up a few pages of menus from the lid of one of the food boxes and said, "Here's their menu as well. Just mention what you want to eat when the meal is delivered."

"this……"

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, and just as they were about to give each of them an answer, they suddenly heard a crunch behind them, followed by Jiao Shun's hearty voice: "It's been delivered? Leave two boxes for you to eat for yourself, and the rest

Bring it in."

Zicuckoo and Xueyan looked at each other again, then each picked up a food box that Ou Guan had put down, and followed Jiao Shun inside.

When Grandma Wang saw this, she hurriedly followed him in.
