Chu Min didn't notice Xu Shi's actions, he seemed to be a little preoccupied, and he was a little absent-minded when Xu Shi talked to him.After changing his clothes, he said to Mrs. Xu: "Okay, go out, don't keep my little sister waiting." He paused for a while, but before going out, he said: "Remember, don't leave the little girl waiting for a long time." My sister mentioned Wen Fei in front of her, if the two of them really can't make it... maybe it's a good thing."

Mrs. Xu was a little surprised when she heard the words, because not long ago Wen Fei stayed in the small courtyard to take care of Chu Xi, and Chu Min changed her view greatly, and even wrote letters to several brothers, and sent them as soon as Jiangzhou City opened. go out.Why did you suddenly change your mind now? !

However, before Xu could express his doubts, Chu Min went out first.

Naturally, Chu Xi was still waiting, but holding the teacup in her hand, she looked so far away that she didn't even notice that Chu Min came out.It was Chu Min who called her first, and she smiled as if she had come to her senses.

Chu Min's heart ached when he saw it, the younger sister who was so charming and loved, how had she ever seen her look like this?The older brother got angry immediately, and the impression of Wen Fei, who had just changed, plummeted again in his heart.It's just that some anger was born, and when he thought of something, the anger suddenly vented like a punctured rubber ball.

After picking up his mood, Chu Min finally bypassed this topic, and put a smile on his face: "Little sister's complexion has improved a lot, it seems that she is very well? It happened that a letter came from home two days ago, and my grandfather has been waiting for you for a long time. , are in a hurry."

Chu Xi knew that the second elder brother never liked to be devious, but he didn't expect him to be so direct when he opened his mouth, so he couldn't help being startled.

Fortunately, Chu Min was not stupid. He saw the reason for Chu Xi's daze at a glance, and hurriedly remedied: "Little sister, listen to me, it's not that the elder brother wants to drive you away, but you know what Jiangzhou looks like now. You This disease is just right, it is the time to recuperate, the mess in this city is really not a place to recuperate. There are many sick people outside the city, I am afraid that the disease will spread again anytime.”

When it came to the end, Chu Min sighed, and thought about Chu Xi sincerely—she was really unlucky all the way south.From encountering water bandits at the beginning, to encountering floods later, after several tossings, Shengsheng's originally healthy body became weak, and he contracted the disease again.Chu Min really felt scared after thinking about it, really afraid that if Chu Xi stayed in this dangerous place, there would be something good or bad.

Chu Xi didn't doubt Chu Min's intentions, but when she suddenly heard that she was going to be sent away, she felt a little sad for some reason.But after thinking about it, what's the point of her staying?But it's just annoying.

So Chu Xi nodded: "I will listen to my brother's arrangement."

Chu Min heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the words, his brows and eyes stretched a little, and then he was a little bit reluctant at the thought of separation: "We haven't seen each other for a long time, now that you're gone, I don't know when we will see you next time. Little girl, next time you go back to Chang'an and pass by Jiangzhou, can you Remember to come and see your brother."

Faced with her brother's reluctance, Chu Xi naturally agreed, but after she nodded her head, she suddenly thought of a problem: Jiangzhou's floods are full of tricks. Last time, she and Wen Fei found out that there was a problem with the river embankment, and Jiangnan officials were indispensable. Field accountability.Although her brother hadn't come to Jiangzhou to take up a post when the embankment was built, he might not be able to escape responsibility for the flood alone.

These are problems that she can easily see. Could it be that her brother can't see it?But if he sees it, how can he say that he will come to Jiangzhou to see him at that time without any grievances?

Vaguely, Chu Xi felt that something was wrong, and Chu Min's determined attitude made her uneasy for no reason...

Afterwards, the brothers and sisters talked for a while. Although they were not harmonious, the atmosphere was always good.Even Mrs. Xu, who came out two steps behind, could interject a few words from time to time, and was no longer as awkward as before.

Before I knew it, it was getting late, so Chu Xi bid farewell.

Chu Min held back a few words, and wanted to keep Chu Xi to have dinner with him, but seeing the tired look on Chu Xi's face, he finally let him go and left.

As soon as Chu Xi left, Chu Min picked up the teacup and walked away for a while, then suddenly sighed out of nowhere.

Mrs. Xu heard it, and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to push him: "What are you thinking, why are you sighing there suddenly? Also, I was in a hurry to entertain my little sister before, and I didn't have time to ask you, why are you so preoccupied today? "

The relationship between the couple is good, especially when Chu Min is unreliable occasionally, Xu can pull him back like a bridle, so Chu Min will not hide many things from her, and will let her help make up his mind.However, when Mrs. Xu asked today, Chu Min only raised his eyelids and looked at her. In the end, he didn't say anything, but sighed at her again.

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xu was almost annoyed, and stretched out her hands to pinch his ears: "If you have something to say, just say it, or don't sigh in front of me."

Chu Min hurriedly reached out to save his ear, and while pulling Xu's hand, he said, "Okay, okay, I don't want to sigh in front of you. Madame let go, your ear is about to fall off!"

Mrs. Xu gave him an angry look: "I know it's nonsense, I didn't even use my strength." She really only made an appearance, and she didn't even make an appearance after she finished speaking. She withdrew her hand and said, "What the hell is going on today? You can't be with me. I said?"

Chu Min shook his head, restrained his expression, and suddenly became serious: "It's useless to tell you."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu stopped asking, and then remembered something and took out a jade pendant from her sleeve and handed it to Chu Min: "Where did you go today? Why is there blood on this jade? It's all done, let me touch it." "

When Chu Min saw the jade pendant, his expression changed immediately, and he snatched it from Mrs. Xu: "Don't worry about this jade pendant, and don't touch it."

Seeing his nervous appearance, Mrs. Xu suddenly wanted to quit, her face turned pale: "Why don't you allow me to touch it? Where did the blood on this jade come from? Could it be stained with something unclean? ?” What she was talking about was not ghosts and gods, but the large number of disease patients outside the city.A few days ago, she was terrified by the epidemic in the mansion, but now Mrs. Xu is very sensitive to this matter.

Seeing that her face had changed, Chu Min knew that she was really frightened, and hurriedly comforted her: "It's nothing, don't worry. It's not like you don't know how much I cherish my life, how could I come into contact with those patients? I don’t see anyone who gets close to me!”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xu felt relieved, and the topic changed intentionally or unintentionally, and no one mentioned the jade pendant anymore.

************************************************** ***********************

When Chu Xi came out of Chu Min's place, she was thinking about going back to her hometown—the Chu family's ancestral home is Changzhou, and it's not far from Jiangzhou, but it's by no means close.It might not be easy to travel now, but since Chu Min has already asked to send her back to her hometown, she naturally won't stay for long.

Thinking of what to do, Chu Xi had just walked a few steps, but was suddenly stopped by Yu Dong who was walking with her.

Chu Xi raised her eyes, and before she could ask, Yu Dong pointed to her right ear and said, "Jiu Niang, it seems that one of your earrings has been lost."

These days Chu Xi is always absent-minded, and she dressed up carefully when she went out to see her brother and sister-in-law today, and she also wore a pair of earrings that she likes very much.Hearing this, she raised her hand to touch her earlobe, but she found nothing, and subconsciously turned her head to look back and forth.

Just as Chu Xi came out of the main house, they hadn't walked very far, and the two of them hadn't even left the courtyard gate. When they turned around, they saw that the road paved with bluestone behind them was clean, not to mention earrings, not even a fallen leaf.Yudong turned around and saw it, so he said, "Xu fell with Mr. Erlang, Jiuniang, wait a moment, I'll go and find it for you."

After the little maid finished speaking, she was about to leave in a hurry, but was stopped by Chu Xi: "Forget it, I will go with you."

The master and servant turned back, but before entering the door, Chu Xi heard the two brothers and sisters talking.In the beginning, the young couple were fighting and fighting, so it was natural for outsiders not to disturb them, so Chu Xi couldn't help but stagnate, thinking that otherwise, I'd better wait for Yudong to come again.As a result, before she had time to turn around, she heard Mrs. Xu talk about the jade pendant.

For some reason, Chu Xi's heart suddenly moved, and the person who always upholds the principle of "do not see evil" unexpectedly glanced at the door impolitely.

In summer, the main hall of the main house was originally used to entertain guests, so naturally the door was not closed.So when Chu Xi took a look, she happened to see the jade pendant in Xu's hand. Even though Chu Min snatched it quickly, she recognized it at a glance—it was a gift from her elders, and she kept it close to her for more than ten years. How could she not recognize the token of love given to Wen Fei not long ago? !

In an instant, the blood on Chu Xi's face faded, and her first thought was that Wen Fei returned the jade pendant!

This guess made her extremely embarrassed.Although Wen Fei knew that it was impossible for the two of them long after he revealed his identity, he also regarded the ambiguous feelings in the past as a fantasy.But this jade pendant had a different meaning to her, so it was really embarrassing and sad to be returned just like that.

But then Chu Xi realized something was wrong, because when she gave the jade to Wen Fei, she didn't say it was a token of love.If it was purely a gift, there was no need for Wen Fei to return it so resolutely.And even if she wants to return it, she should return it to herself, and let herself return her dagger by the way, and the two of them will be cut off from now on... There is no reason for Chu Min to hand it over without saying a word.

As soon as Chu Xi thought of this, she heard what Mrs. Xu said about the blood, which made her heart sink for no reason.She wanted to see what happened to the jade again, but she saw that Chu Min had already put the jade away, and at the same time put on a rare appearance of avoiding talking about it.

Chu Xi still understood her elder brother's temperament, but the more she understood, the more depressed she became.

Yudong who was behind him didn't know what happened, but it's not good for her own girl to hide outside the door and eavesdrop on such things. It might ruin her reputation if she was seen.So she struggled and pulled Chu Xi's sleeve carefully as a reminder.

Chu Xi was brought back to her mind by this tugging, and immediately wanted to go in and ask for clarification.But after taking a last look at Mrs. Xu, he held back his impulse for the time being, and only raised his hand and tapped the door twice to remind the two people in the room.

As soon as Chu Min looked up and saw her, his expression changed suddenly, and he panicked for no reason.

Chu Xi took a panoramic view of it, but only said: "Brother, sister-in-law, my earring seems to have fallen off accidentally."

The author has something to say: Chu Xi (gritting teeth): Who, who dares to touch my Ah Fei, stand up for me!
