[Red House] The Twins of Purple Pearls

Zhuang Mu took sick leave and couldn't even attend the next day's piano class.

Mrs. Jiang ordered Mama Wan to fetch the thousand-year-old ginseng and send it to Zhuang Mu, so that she could have a good rest.

Thinking of seeing Zhuang Mu and Mu Yun last night behind the rockery, Zhuang Mu's health was not good, and it was his great joy and sorrow that made her fall ill.The doctor said that the night was cool and windy, so Mrs. Jiang asked Zhuang Mu to move to the Nuan Pavilion.

Zhen Yan sat down beside Liu Ning'an and said with a light smile, "Ms. Jiang really loves Ba Sister Zhuang; those who don't know think that Sister Zhuang Ba is Madam Jiang's girl."

"Sister Zhen, be careful!" Liu Ning'an was reading a book, without changing his expression.

"You're too careful!" Zhen Yan felt even more bored, so she returned to her seat and flipped through the book.

Li Qi was sitting behind them rehearsing calligraphy, her two older sisters, Li Wen and Li Shu, had no time to pay attention to her; upon hearing Zhen Yan's words, she raised her head and glanced at her reluctantly, and continued copying calligraphy quietly.

Because Jiang Yao is good at the piano, Mrs. Jiang asked her to help her.

Jiang Yao played a song "Flowing Water Cup", and Mrs. Jiang explained the music theory and asked them to try to play with the strings.

Yanyu carefully tried the sound of the piano, and listened carefully to Mrs. Jiang's words; although she had mastered the piano skills, she never knew that there was such a theory.

"The piano is suitable for self-cultivation; the sound of the piano is simple and melodious, like the sound of the empty valley..." Mrs. Jiang repeatedly plucked the strings to explain. It is to please yourself, I only ask you to learn the piano skills rather than master it."

Mrs. Jiang taught them to play the piano, embroider, flower arranging, and read books. Only etiquette and rules are the most strict.

Although the Lin family is the family of four generations of Liehou Qingliu, but because there are only Lin Ruhai and his wife and three children in this generation, they no longer abide by strict rules, and the relationship between parents and children is happy.However, Ding Xingsheng, a family of four princes and eight princes in the capital, must be cautious in his words and deeds from the master to the maid. This rule is also very different.

Liu Ning'an is a girl from the Duke of Li's mansion, and her demeanor is also unusual.

We had dinner together in the main room at noon, occasionally there was a crisp sound when the cups collided; Mrs. Jiang lowered her eyes and chewed slowly, with an expression of peace and tranquility.

Yanyu Daiyu and Yu Ming came out of the main room to visit Zhuang Mu in Nuan Pavilion, she just drank the medicine and lay on the pillow, there was a jar of candied fruit on the table beside the bed; Yu Ming sat on the side of the couch and held Zhuang Mu's cold hand "It's getting colder in autumn, you should wear more clothes." Then she turned her head and said to Nanny Chen, "If Mu'er goes out, put on a cotton padded coat and a cape for her."

"Sister Ming, I know." Zhuang Mu responded with a full mouth.

Yan Yu quietly stood by and watched Yu Ming and Zhuang Mu talking, wondering if Yu Ming knew Zhuang Mu's true identity?She remembered that Yu Ming once said that she had known Zhuang Mu when she was in the capital, so when did she change from Shu'er to Zhuang Mu?Now that Zhuang Mu is Chun'er, where did the real Zhuang Mu go?

The four of them had another chat, and they came out of the Nuan Pavilion when Zhuang Mu was tired and wanted to sleep; after saying goodbye to each other, Yu Ming also went back to the house, while Yanyu and Daiyu sat on the porch to enjoy the flowers.

The autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, the huge flowers are shaking slightly, and there is also a bit of autumnal coolness.

"Sister, I see that you have something on your mind recently." Daiyu looked at Yanyu and said.

"Recently, I dreamed of a god again." Yanyu smiled mysteriously, and moved her eyes to the brocade flowers, "The goddess of Wushan met King Xiang in her dream. The dream is ethereal, but it is the most beautiful story in this world."

Daiyu plucked a flower and sniffed it. She seemed to understand her sister's words: "My sister has a lot of emotions recently."

Yanyu smiled lightly: "When you grow up, you will understand a lot."

Daiyu's eyes widened in shock, and she said angrily, "Obviously I am the same age as my sister."

Yanyu still looked at her sister with a smile, but said nothing.

She suddenly remembered who Shu'er was!Mu Chun, the youngest daughter of the Duke of Dong'an, disappeared during the Pingfeng Rebellion three years ago; Princess Dong'an is the daughter of the Zhuang family, so it is possible that she sent her daughter to her mother's house to pretend to be a niece to avoid disaster.

Thinking about the identity of Tianxuan Xingjun in this life, he is the child of Dong'an County King, that is, the elder brother of Mu Chun.

The king of Dong'an was ransacked and wiped out because of the dispute over the throne, but Lin Ruhai still has contacts with him. What's going on?

It turned out that it was inevitable to get involved in this muddy water in the end.

The days in the South Campus Academy are not depressing. I usually sit down with my sisters to embroider and play the piano.After getting in touch with them, Yanyu has a little understanding of their temperament.Li Shu is gentle and kind, Jiang Yao and Jiang Shi are bright and lively, Zhen Yan is pretty and proud, Xue Luo is cold and aloof, Liu Ning is quiet and indifferent; except for Zhen Yan and Xue Luo who are obviously alienated from each other, everyone else gets along well.

Zhuang Mu fell ill intermittently, and when Li Wen asked his mother-in-law to cook Laba porridge for the girls, Zhuang Mu came out wearing a heavy cloak.

Hearing the intermittent sound of the piano, Zhuang Mu followed the sound of the piano and saw Yanyu teaching Daiyu to practice the piano, so he raised the embroidered curtain and went in: "Sister Yan, sister Yu."

Daiyu looked back and saw that it was Zhuang Mu, she got up with a smile and pulled her to sit beside her: "Mu'er, are you alright?"

"Sister Yu, I'm fine." Zhuang Mu covered his lips and coughed lightly, then lowered his eyebrows and said, "Mom asked me to hug Mrs. Tang before going out, so I'm warm."

"It's getting colder." Yanyu inadvertently caught a glimpse of the longevity lock Zhuang Mu was wearing around her neck. She froze for a moment, and then said without changing her face, "I feel cold under my feet when I come back from Linfeng Pavilion. I drank it. Laba porridge feels warm and harmonious."

Zhuang Mushu nodded on the heated kang: "Laba porridge is sweet and delicious."

Daiyu remembered something, and smiled lightly: "I remember Sister Wen said that the Laba porridge cooked by the Fourth Wife was not sweet. Sister Wen likes to add sweetness to the porridge, and it is so sweet."

Zhuang Mu was surprised: "Can you drink non-sweet Laba porridge?"

Daiyu shook her head pretending to be serious: "Probably not. Maybe you can try it?"

Zhuang Mu immediately looked disgusted: "No."

"There is no one who talks about Mr. like you." Yan Yu said while listening to them playing around silently.

Daiyu shrugged innocently, still sat down behind the piano case and plucked the strings casually.

Yanyu poured a cup of tea and handed it to Zhuang Mu. Zhuang Mu sighed, "I've been sick recently, and I rarely even go to Mr.'s school. I'm afraid Mr. will not let me continue studying in the South Campus."

Thinking of Mrs. Jiang's care for Zhuang Mu all the time, Yanyu guessed that it might also have something to do with Zhuang Mu's background.

But who else knows about Zhuang Mu's life experience?None of this is known.

Zhuang Mu knows that she is Mu Chun, and she also remembers the tragic disaster of destroying her family three years ago; but she can still act like a naive and innocent girl, without any signs of abnormality.

"Mister has always loved you." Yanyu said with a light smile, caressing her cold hand.

Zhuang Mu lowered his head sadly, and put his arms around Mrs. Tang in his arms, looking thoughtful.

Seeing her frowning, Yanyu persuaded her: "Think more about happy things on weekdays, too much thinking is not good for your body."

Zhuang Mu nodded after listening.

Daiyu turned her head and saw her sister's preaching tone, she couldn't help laughing: "Sister, you're going to scare Mu'er."

"Seeing Sister Yan and Sister Yu, the sisters can talk and play together, I am so envious." Zhuang Mu twisted a silk handkerchief to cover his lips, with a slight wry smile, "I, I am not the same age as my sisters at home, can play together."

Zhuang Mu was the eighth girl in the family, and the seventh girl Zhuang who was the closest to her was already discussing marriage, so she couldn't play with Zhuang Mu.

Just seeing the lonely look in Zhuang Mu's eyes, Yanyu guessed that she was thinking of her own sisters.

King Mu Shi of Dong'an County has four children. The eldest son Mu Wei was killed in the Pingfeng Rebellion three years ago. The eldest daughter Mu Yi is the concubine of Prince Xian Zhaoming.

Yanyu caressed Zhuang Mu pitifully, and sighed inwardly.

"I heard that my aunt's mother's family and Sister Zhen's family are family friends, but I don't think Sister Yan likes Sister Zhen?" Zhuang Mu asked again, holding Yanyu's hand.

Surprised by what Zhuang Mu meant, Yanyu's expression also became deep: "Why does Mu'er think so?"

Zhuang Mucai raised his head and showed an innocent smile: "Sister Zhen never interacts with us, and she is more independent in school."

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Mu, who usually doesn't come out often, knows that Zhen Yan is a loner, so Yanyu said with a smile, "I think Sister Luo is very easy to get along with."

"Sister Xue Luo?" Zhuang Mu was obviously very interested in Xue Luo. She should have known Xue Luo when she was in the capital. After all, Dong'an County King and Xue Luo's elder brother Xue Song belonged to the fifth prince's henchmen; Mu's eyes are shining, "Sister Xue Luo is very kind and treats us well."

Daiyu also nodded in agreement: "I also like Sister Luo very much."

Yanyu looked at her younger sister and smiled helplessly: "Yu'er said she likes a sister when she sees her, which makes me, my own sister, very happy."

Daiyu smiled clearly: "I like my sister too!"
