Chapter 5 Moving Back to the Rose Garden

The green bamboos outside the courtyard vary in thickness and length, but each one is slender and straight. The wind blew gently over the Buddha, and the bamboo leaves trembled slightly, as if the beauty was murmuring.

Fang's mother saw Yuxi standing in the backyard looking at the bamboo for a long time, she really didn't know what to see in the bamboo: "Girl, the wind is so strong, come in the house!"

Oak-hee turned around and said, "If you don't enter the house, you'll be bored in the house. Mom, it's time to cook, right?"

Fang's mother was a little helpless. After the girl recovered from her illness, when she saw her cooking, she stayed by her side to watch her cook, and it was called learning cooking. Fang's mother couldn't help laughing and laughing, what kind of cooking skills the four-year-old child could learn, but she couldn't beat Yuxi, and she thought that learning cooking skills would be a good thing, so she didn't object.

After lunch, Mother Fang said to Yuxi, "Girl, Mrs. Cao, who delivered the food today, told me that we will be able to return to Rose Garden in about two days." Rose Garden is the courtyard where Oak Xi lives.

Yuxi nodded. In her last life, she also lived in Qingzhu Xiaozhu for more than a month, and she didn't move back to Qingzhu Xiaozhu until Yuchen's illness was cured.

Yuxi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Mother Fang, there is one thing I want to ask you, how did I get the smallpox?"

Fang's mother asked strangely, "what's the matter?"

Yuxi said: "The third brother's smallpox was infected by people outside. I have never been out in the inner courtyard, and I have never been in contact with the third brother. How can I have smallpox?" Although smallpox is terrible, as long as you don't touch The pathogen will be fine. During this time, Yuxi thought for a while, how did she think that it was strange that she had smallpox.

Fang's mother really didn't think about it in this regard, and her face changed greatly after hearing this: "What does the girl mean to hurt you?" Thinking of the previous deductions in the kitchen, Fang's mother's heart was heavy.

Oak Xi was not sure: "I don't know if someone is really hurting me, I just think it's too strange."

There was a ruthless look in Fang's eyes, and she said, "Don't worry, girl, if someone really wants to harm the girl, I will definitely make her life better than death."

Early the next morning, three people came from Qingzhu Xiaozhu. The leader was a beautiful woman dressed in indigo blue and with a duck-oval face, followed by two rough women who were five big and three thick.

Yuxi felt that the maid at the head looked familiar, but she couldn't name her. Fang's mother shouted happily, "Mo Ju, are you here to pick up the girl back to the Rose Garden?"

It was only then that Yuxi remembered that Mo Ju was the eldest maid beside her. She had not seen Mo Ju for more than ten years and had forgotten all about it.

With hot tears in her eyes, Mo Ju bowed to Yuxi, and choked up, "Yes, it was the eldest lady who asked me to pick up the girl back to the Rose Garden. It's really a blessing from the Bodhisattva for the girl to survive this disaster safely this time."

Yuxi said indifferently: "I can survive this disaster because my mother is in the sky to bless me!"

Mo Ju nodded again and again and said, "Yes, it must be Madam who is protecting the girl in the sky." This time a lot of people died from smallpox, and those who died were all burned, and even the corpses could not be left, for fear of leaving behind some trouble. . The girl was able to escape this catastrophe, and it was really God's blessing for the lady.

Yuxi was relieved, and finally left this place, and there was nothing to clean up, everything here was going to be burned.

Qingzhu Xiaozhu is a little far from the Rose Garden. Oak-hee was not in a hurry, and watched the scenery on the road as he walked. After marrying into the Jiang family, she has only returned a few times, and everything here is a little unfamiliar to her now.

When Mo Tao saw Yu Xi, she also burst into tears: "The girl is back." Yu Xi had a total of four maids, namely Mo Ju, Mo Tao, Mo Yun, and Mo Xiang.

Fang's mother said: "If you have anything to say, go back to the house. The sun is poisonous, but you can't bask in the girl." After such a long walk, the girl's forehead was sweating.

Mo Tao lit the brazier at the door and said, "Girl, if you step over this brazier, you will be able to remove all the bad luck from your body."

Oak-hee didn't hesitate for a second.

With a calf step, he stepped over the brazier and walked into the Rose Garden.

The Rose Garden is not very big, with two main rooms facing the front, with side rooms on both sides of the main room, and east and west wing rooms on both sides. The Rose Courtyard is relatively small compared to other courtyards of the Imperial Palace.

The Rose Garden got this name because there is a rose on the wall on the right side of the yard. Now it is the season of roses blooming. The roses blooming on this wall are either purple or jade white, very beautiful. A few bushes of plantains were also planted under the window, and the fan-like banana leaves stretched out, and the jade was like silk, reflecting the shade.

Entering the room, Yuxi swept his bedroom. The bedroom was very rudimentary, with a six-poster canopy bed against the wall. A cyan curtain was hung on the bed, and a quilt of autumn fragrance was placed on the bed. Opposite the bed were two rosewood chairs, next to a screen, and behind the screen was a small clean room. In addition to the necessary furniture, there are no decorations such as jade, gold, porcelain, etc. in the room. The humble house outside the house is elegant, but here is the opposite.

Fang's mother came over and said, "Girl, take a bath!" After bathing and changing, the changed clothes were burned by the maid, which was also to infect others.

Mo Ju wiped Yu Xi's hair with a dry towel, and said softly, "Girl has suffered these days."

Yuxi glanced at Mo Ju. She has been eating and drinking spicy food every day this month. She has grown a lot of flesh on her face, and her complexion is also very good. Mo Ju said that she was suffering a little bit. Yuxi said lightly: "If you don't die, you will have good luck." Because of her doubts, she doesn't trust the four maids now. Speaking of which, she really failed completely in her last life, and when she died, there was no one she could trust.

Mo Ju smiled and said, "Well, the girl will definitely be rich and noble in the future."

Yuxi asked, "Where are Mo Yun and Mo Xiang?" There were only two of the four maids left, and she didn't know where the other two went.

Mo Ju didn't think much, and said, "Mo Yun's mother was ill a few days ago. She didn't know that the girl was coming back today, so she took leave of absence with her mother to take care of her mother. Mo Xiang she..." After a pause, Mo Ju was still He said, "Girl, Mo Xiang is gone."

Oak Xi froze and asked, "Why is it gone?"

Mo Ju's hand paused, and then said softly, "Mo Xiang also got smallpox and is gone." In short, Mo Xiang was also infected with smallpox, and then died.

Yuxi's expression was a little unsightly.

After drying her hair, Oak-hee sat down at the dresser. This dressing table was made of wenge wood, and as far as Oak-hee knew, the furniture used by the dignified stewards of the Imperial Palace was made of wenge wood. She used to be sad because of such a shabby arrangement, but now she doesn't care about these things anymore: "Pick me a plain-colored dress."

Hua Tao divided Oak Hee's hair into two strands, tied them symmetrically into two vertebrae, placed them on both sides of the top of the head, and led out a small lock of hair in the bun to let it hang down naturally.

Yuxi looked at herself in the bronze mirror. In her previous life, she was as thin as a bamboo pole at this time, but now her face was very ruddy, and it was comforting to look at.

After Mo Tao brought two small boxes and opened them, Oak Xi saw that half of the jewelry in the boxes were silver, the rest were either gold or pearls, and there were no gems or diamonds. Oak-hee said, "You don't need to wear jewelry."

Hua Tao rejected Yu Xi's proposal and said, "Girl, let's wear two pieces of jewelry! It's too plain to wear anything, and the old lady won't like it." The old lady didn't like her own girl at all. Just like a filial piety, you must be scolded by the old lady.

Oak-hee wanted to say that she didn't like it, and she wasn't uncommon anyway, but she could only think about it in her heart: "Then which one do you think is better?"

Hua Tao chose two blue bead flowers from the jewelry box and put them on Yu Xi, and asked, "Girl, what do you think of this?"

Yuxi has no interest in it. Although she has been raised for a month, her complexion has improved a lot, but her body is too weak, and it will definitely take some time to fully raise her. She doesn't look good no matter how she dresses up now: "It's almost done."

After combing her hair, Mo Ju came over with an aqua blue dress. Oak-hee shook her head and said, "Change it." It was always blue, and she didn't like it much.

Dressed neatly, Yuxi took Mo Ju to the upper room. The upper room was also a little far from Oakxi's Rose Garden, and Oakxi still walked slowly, so that he could familiarize himself with the road here.

Entering the hanging flower door, bypassing the screen of the rich peony in front of the door, walking through the hall, a bright and neat courtyard is presented in front of you. There are five upper rooms on the front, carved beams and painted buildings with flying eaves and hanging corners.

A beautiful woman in purple clothes opened the door and walked out. Seeing Yuxi, she said with a smile, "Four girls, the old lady just happened to rest. When the old lady wakes up, the servant will tell her."

Yuxi didn't show the slightest dissatisfaction on her face, she just smiled and said, "Trouble Cuiyu sister."

Cuiyu was a little surprised. The four girls used to look gloomy, but now she seems to have become smarter after being ill: "The girl broke the slave, this is what slaves should do."

When Yuxi turned around and was about to leave, she saw Yuchen walking out of the room.

Yuchen was wearing a white gauze lining, covered with a half-armed crescent moon, and a snow-white moonflower skirt. Her skin was fair and delicate, her face was delicate and small, and her big watery eyes seemed to be dripping with water. Although his face was pale and a little thin, he raised his hands and raised his eyebrows, but there was such a rare charm in his eyes.

Seeing Yuchen, a complicated look flashed in Yuxi's eyes. Rao lived an extra lifetime, and she still felt that God loved Yuchen too much. Not only did it give Yuchen an alluring appearance, but it also gave her an extraordinary talent. Because of such a radiant sister, her pressure is not ordinary. It is obvious that her appearance is not bad in all aspects, but in front of Yuchen, she can only be a foil forever, resulting in her lack of self-confidence and especially low self-esteem.

Yuxi suppressed the strangeness in her heart, and called out to Yuchen with a smile: "Third sister." After living an extra life, Yuxi now also sees it. Some things are doomed, envy and jealousy are useless, and self-esteem is even more unnecessary. Because you are envious, jealous or even inferior, you are only yourself, and will not cause any damage to the other party.

When Yuchen saw Yuxi and thought of her brother who died early, she felt a little sad. However, seeing Yuxi in her crescent-white clothes gave Yuxi two points of affection: "Grandmother didn't sleep well yesterday, and she's going back to sleep now. Fourth sister, come and sit in my room!"

Yuxi was a little surprised, she didn't get this kind of treatment in her previous life, but she still happily replied: "Okay." The old lady loves Yuchen and has been by the old lady's side since Yuchen was born.
