One of the Red Buildings: Three Thousand Miles

Before going to Beijing, Mrs. Shi sold and released the servants in the mansion, and the Shi mansion suddenly lost many people, and it seemed deserted.

"Miss..." Xiao Taohong looked at Xuan Xuan hesitantly.

Xuanxuan was taking a nap in the corridor of the back garden at this time. Spring came early this year, and the garden was full of flower buds. Although they were not in full bloom, they had already begun to smell pleasant.

"What a beautiful flower, but I don't know where I will be when the flowers bloom this year." I really want to leave the place where I have lived for three years, but my heart feels empty.

Xiao Taohong bit her lip and pleaded with Xuanxuan, but she didn't know how to say it.

Xuanxuan raised her head and looked at the sky, "It's been a while, I think those aunts have gone back to clean up." Xuanxuan got up and clapped her hands, "Let's go find my mother for dinner."

There are only some busy servants along the way, and they will set off in two days, and it is even more hectic now.

Arriving at Mrs. Shi's courtyard, there were crowds of people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard, several aunts did not leave, but were still waiting in front of Mrs. Shi, several Xuanxuan and several half-sisters were also there.

Muge's sharp eyes caught Xuanxuan at a glance, and hurried over to open the way for her.He stepped forward and smiled without saying a word, "It's just right for the young lady to come here at this moment. The madam is talking about going to another batch of slaves, and another batch of slaves. No, all the aunts, grandmothers and ladies are here to choose."

Xuanxuan was puzzled, but she didn't ask, she just nodded, "Well, since the candidate is selected, why don't you see Dexie?"

"Sister, sister, look, peach blossom cakes." So Cao Cao Cao Cao came, and Dexie trotted over, holding his favorite peach blossom cakes for the past two days in his hand.

Dexie is four years old, he is a big kid, and he is well-raised. He is white and fat like a Fuwa in New Year pictures. He wears a blue brocade gown and a tiger-head hat made by a nanny on his head. How cute it is. .

Xuanxuan squatted down to catch the flying Dexie, but the silver man had little strength, so he couldn't hold the fat little Dexie.Empress Dowager Xuanxuan pinched Dexie's nose and twisted it twice, "While running and eating in the wind, turn around and see who feels better."

Dexi giggled and laughed, "I won't have a stomachache. This is for my sister. My sister eats it. Qingyan made it, and it's still hot." Then he stuffed the peach blossom cake in his hand into Xuanxuan's mouth.

Mrs. Shi heard that Dexie was coming, so she told Nanny Wang to bring him in quickly, and not to blow the wind outside.

Xuanxuan took Dexie's hand into the room, said hello to Mrs. Shi, then nodded to the sisters, and then sat on the collapsed bed next to Mrs. Shi, took over Su Qing's work, and gave Mrs. Shi a shoulder tap.Dexie is a big kid, and he also imitates Xuanxuan to beat him, but he is too small, and his small fists can only reach Xuanxuan's waist.

Aunt Liu pursed her lips and chuckled, "After all, Madam is the most blessed, with both sons and daughters. What's more rare is that the young master is a good reader, and the young lady has a filial piety. Although the young master is small, he is smart and sensible. I really envy us." This group of sisters. Don’t you think so?”

Several aunts echoed and praised Mrs. Shi.

The corners of Mrs. Shi's mouth moved slightly, "The lucky ones are all given by God, besides, not all of you have sons and daughters. Our house is clean, and they are also flourishing. You should study hard You still have to study hard, and those who should be educated still need to be educated. I also said this before, our family is big, with many children and grandchildren, and in the future, the future of the children is your own mother's concern. Naturally, I, as a aunt, will not Wronged the children. But in the final analysis, they still have to rely on themselves. After all, our family is not a family of bells and lanterns. The family's fortune is not big, as long as everyone is twisted into one rope and work together, their younger generation can live well , our elders can also be safe."

Everyone in the room stood up and said yes.

"Madam is right." Mr. Shi came in from the outside, and there was another commotion inside the house.

Greeting salute, say hello, say hello.Xuanxuan timidly stood beside Mrs. Shi, and after blessing Lord Shi, she quickly hid behind Mrs. Shi.Dexie was not the case, the boy jumped on Mr. Shi's lap vigorously, tugged at Mr. Shi's beard and laughed.Master Shi was not annoyed, and had fun with Dexie.

Mrs. Shi rebuked Dexi with a light smile, "There are no rules. They are all going to school now, why are you still so naughty? Come down quickly, you will tire your father later."

When Dexi hugged the adult's neck, he didn't let go, "No, I don't want it. Daddy is amazing, so he won't be tired." Shi adults also echoed, "It's okay, kid, Dexie is still very sensible , I haven't seen me for a day, so it's inevitable to panic. Madam, let us be close with our father and son."

How could Mrs. Shi be really angry, she immediately responded with a smile.

Aunt Liu was unhappy, hating herself for not living up to her expectations and not being able to give Mo Xuan a brother to rely on. Unfortunately, now that she is old and frail, although Master Shi cares about her old love, he seldom sets foot in her yard at night.

"Why is Daddy coming to the back house when he is free now?" Mo Xuan asked with a light smile, his voice soft and soft, like a spring breeze.

Master Shi said, "All the things ahead have been done, and the affairs of the yamen have been handed over. I will leave in two days, and I will be free instead. I thought it would be better to come and see what my wife is doing, but unexpectedly, You got it all together."

Mrs. Shi nodded, "I'm talking about it, it's not that En has released a batch, and there is not enough space in each room for a while. I thought that although everything is simple on the road, but after all, the whole family will go there, so many ladies and young masters can't Do it yourself on the road. Therefore, if you call people, don’t need too many, just add one to each place, and let’s use it on the road first. When everything is settled in the future, the husband will add and subtract according to the old calendar.”

Master Shi nodded again and again, "After all, it is Madam, but the master of the inner house is different."

Mrs. Shi shook her head modestly, "How dare you afford such praise from your husband."

For a while, Mrs. Shi, an adult, put on a show of loving couples in front of everyone. I don't know how many people watched Xuanxuan's teeth itch, but Mo Xuan couldn't hold back, and his face was slightly distorted but was caught by many people. up.

Then, Mrs. Shi explained the arrangements for the journey.Because there are too many people leaving, although everyone is going on the road together, they still have to be divided into batches.Mrs. Shi took Xuanxuan, Dexiu Haoxuan and adults in a car at the same time.Several aunts took Mo Xuanzhuxuan and Zhuer Yunge in a car.The rest of the people waited for the big maids and a few people in a car, and how many people followed the luggage in a car, what about the servants, what about the guards, Mrs. Shi's arrangement was orderly, there was no confusion at all, Xuan Xuan who was watching was dumbfounded .Normally, I just look at Mrs. Shi's housekeeper and don't notice anything. Now that I look at it, I really admire her. She can think of things in such a detailed way, Mrs. Shi is really amazing!

Aunt Liu was dissatisfied that Mo Xuan couldn't share a car with Master Shi, but she didn't want to speak up, and she wanted to let Mo Xuan mention it by herself, but after thinking about it, Master Shi valued etiquette, and when the elders arranged things, the younger generation's mouth seemed a little disobedient, so, At this time, it is best for Mo Xuan not to say anything.

Master Shi was slightly taken aback when he heard Xuanxuan's name, he searched back and forth to find Xuanxuan.Mrs. Shi pushed Xuanxuan in front of Master Shi, and said with a smile, "Xuanxuan is just shy, she can turn red when she sees her own father. She is a little girl after all."

Mrs. Shi wanted to remove the ice for Xuanxuan and Master Shi, so she didn't care whether Xuanxuan was willing or not, she just threw them in front of Master Shi.The wailing in Xuanxuan's heart, her face was blushing from embarrassment, she was angry!Three years of dissatisfaction is not something that can be passed in just a few sentences. You must know that when she was ill, the adult stood by the bedside and said several times in a sinister way, "It would be great if there was no such girl", What kind of "unfortunate family" is so cold that when Xuanxuan sees it now, adults can't wait to go up and take a bite to relieve their anger.Even my own father wouldn't bring such a spoiled person!

Master Shi actually felt guilty in his heart, after all, he was his own daughter, and he said too many serious things in his mind that day, and when he thought about it later, why did he quarrel with a four-year-old girl?My daughter is only four years old, how can she really have that kind of thought?Even if there is someone to teach it, Mrs. Shi is not a person who can't tolerate others, just like what he heard just now, if Mrs. Shi really couldn't tolerate others, his branch wouldn't be as flourishing as it is now The image of Mao.In this way, I feel very guilty towards Xuanxuan.It's a pity that Xuanxuan has been hiding from Master Shi for three years, and Master Shi is a little frustrated, and those who follow the trend deliberately ignore and ignore their own mistakes.

Master Shi suddenly saw Xuanxuan at this moment, and couldn't help being shocked. In the days he deliberately ignored, the little girl has grown up!Although he was still a child, he was still immature, but the baby fat on his small face was gone, and his thin and pointed chin was very much like Mrs. Shi, but there was too much of Mrs. Shi's shadow between his eyebrows and eyes.When watching it, adults are in a trance and sad.

Xuanxuan was too timid to tremble, and she was extremely nervous. Facing such a cheap father, she thought more than once in the past three years that it would be better if she didn't have one.She hasn't made up her mind to reconcile with Mr. Shi, so she can act like a loving father and a daughter of filial piety.

"Sister, sister, what's the matter? Are you hungry? Come, Dexie will give you peach blossom crisps." Dexie sat in the arms of Mr. Shi, and he didn't know what he saw when he was a big kid. Xuanxuan's mouth made the scum on Xuanxuan's face.

Master Shi laughed loudly, wiped Xuan Xuan's face with the handkerchief in Xuan Xuan's hand, and taught De Xun with a stern look on purpose, "Look, I made your sister look like a little cat."

Mrs. Shi and Nanny Wang looked at each other, with uncontrollable joy in their eyes.Mrs. Shi said, "That's right, let's sort it out later. A woman's beauty is extremely important."

Master Shi shook his big hand to put down Dexie, hugged Xuanxuan into his arms, and frowned, "Young girl is a little light, madam, go back and make up for Xuanxuan."

Mrs. Shi quickly agreed, and asked Nanny Wang to give Xuanxuan a bottle of high-quality condensate that she had just obtained, and Master Shi also gave a rare scented wax, which was an object in Master Shi's private collection.

……

Mo Xuan returned to the yard with Chun Xing, the little maid who had just been selected. Aunt Liu was indignant, and said angrily, "It's too bullying. I should take the car with whoever I should. I won't fight or grab it." But why does the big girl still want to squeeze with us? This wife is too good at life!"

Mo Xuan sat aside and snorted coldly, "Who said it wasn't? Auntie can see that Madam is going to do something. Don't look at her not stopping Daddy, she is very shrewd. Her own children are clearly separated from other people's children." Chu, hmph! She took her child to follow Daddy along the way, and she really took advantage. Auntie, don’t complain, don’t hate, I don’t hate it either, I didn’t become the heir, but I still like Daddy better than the second girl!"

Aunt Liu nodded with a gloomy expression, hoping in her heart that she would never reconcile with Xuanxuan and Master Shi, otherwise, her daughter's future would be uncertain again.
