captive skylark

Chapter 42
Seeing Yunxi in the garden the next day, he didn't dare to raise his eyes to look at her.

Luqi giggled when she saw it, "What are you always doing with your head buried? Is there a gold pick or a silver pick at the bottom? Tell us to listen, I want to pick it too."

Qichi just lowered his head and smiled, "Sister, don't make fun of me."

"Okay, don't keep making trouble with him." Yunxi also helped him out, "We have to go to Jingxing Zhai, let's go, don't make grandma wait in a hurry."

Lu Qi just gave up and left behind her.

Qi Chi waited on the spot for a while, looked up and saw the fluttering skirt disappearing at the end of the corridor, and then turned back to the bamboo garden.

It was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month.

The whole house is busy, changing door gods, making couplets, listing cards, and new peach charms, busy and lively everywhere, but only the quiet room is a little quieter.

But she was still busy, Aunt Fang fell ill, and there was no one in charge in the backyard, so they all came to ask Mrs. Xie.

Going in and out for a while, Yunxi waited for a while under the eaves of the corridor, and opened the curtain to go in after the inside was cleared.

"Grandmother."

She smiled very sweetly. Aside from filial piety, the girl didn't have to wear those plain clothes a year ago. Now she was dressed brightly and brightly, and the room that seemed to be still lifeless suddenly became full of vigor.

When Mrs. Xie saw her, she hurriedly beckoned her to her side, glanced up and down, and then asked her with a smile, "Where are your brothers and sisters? Why didn't you come with you?"

While talking, Xie Shuang's voice came from outside, "Grandmother."

The maid hurriedly went to open the curtain, it turned out that the three juniors of the Xie family had all come, and they all came to greet the old lady.

"Okay. Okay." Mrs. Xie was very happy when she saw her grandchildren greeting each other, and she responded repeatedly.

It's just that I asked the subordinates to toss about a while ago, and they were exhausted, so they dispersed after talking for a while.

It was snowing heavily outside, the bluestone steps had just been swept by the servants, and then it was covered with snow again, stepping on them was a string of footprints.

Yunxi was the last one to walk, and almost slipped and fell accidentally, but fortunately, someone held him steady.

"Sister, be careful." It was Xie Heng.

In front of outsiders, he acted like a big brother, only holding his arm, and carefully helped her to sit on the porch chair.

Xie Sui and the two came over to see the sound, "Did my sister fall?"

"No." Yun Xi shook his head, and was about to get up, but as soon as his feet hit the ground, he frowned and sat back down with a "hiss".

It turned out that he accidentally sprained his foot just now.

Xie Shuang was very worried, "Why is my sister so careless when walking? But it hurts so much?"

Turning around, I was about to ask the boy to invite the doctor, but was stopped by Yunxi, "Why make such a big fuss? After inviting the doctor, grandma and uncle will know. It's busy this year, so don't disturb them. Let the government The family is preparing a carriage, and I will take Luqi out to see a doctor."

"How can I do that?" Xie Jue said anxiously: "There are people everywhere inside and outside the New Year's Eve. If there is something good or bad about your two girls' families, it would be great."

"I'll go with her." Xie Heng took the words.

He did things safely, while instructing the boy to go to the street to see which medical clinic outside was still open, and at the same time asked Xichi to prepare a carriage and wait by the corner gate.

Xie Shuang wanted to follow, but asked Xie Heng to push her back, "If you have nothing to do, go to the Jingxing Zhai to accompany grandma, and learn more rules by the way."

He was very strict in his elder brother's style, Xie Shuang was very afraid of him at this moment, and shrank back obediently.

Yun Xi injured his foot and was unable to move. It was Xie Heng who carried him into the carriage.
