Chapter 3

"Mom, you have to think clearly that if this reputation of abusing the concubine's son is spread, people will gossip no matter where our family goes, and may even affect my father's career." Yuan Jin said lightly, "What's more, Wen Yu himself is not mentally. He bullied the weak so much, and he would have grown up!"

Cui said, "I just didn't see that I was injured, and Jinyu might not have abused him."

I don’t know that Cui is protecting Xue Jinyu, and she really doesn’t value this concubine’s son.

He continued to tell Cui that there would be no result. Yuan Jin first took Xue Wenyu back to the east wing where he lived, asked Xing'er to light the oil lamp and put it on the table. She brought gauze and medicinal wine. He grabbed Xue Wenyu's wrist and asked him to sit down, then opened the medicinal wine and bandaged him quietly.

His hands and fingers are slender and have clear joints. His face is really beautiful, his facial features are delicate and flawless, with a high nose bridge and thin lips.

Just looking at the child's appearance, you can guess what kind of beauty his mother is.

"How did you do this injury?" Yuan Jin asked him.

Xue Wenyu didn't speak.

Yuan Jin said lightly: "You won't answer me even if you think you are. But you are so big. If he bullies you, you can tell others, why bother to bully him." Yuan Jin didn't hear the answer, so he looked up at him, "Do you know?"

She only realized that Xue Wenyu had light brown eyes and was looking at her quietly. When she looked at people with such pupils, she seemed particularly focused.

After discovering that she looked up at her, Xue Wenyu turned her eyes away.

She felt that he was young, so she rubbed his head: "Did you hear what my sister said?"

Xue Wenyu did not avoid her hand, but still did not answer her words.

Yuan Jin asked Xing'er to put away the medicinal wine, thinking that she had heard the empress dowager talk about this before. Some were born like this, and some were abused when they were young, so they became untalking. I don't know which type of Xue Wenyu is. I heard that Cui also invited the doctor to see Xue Wenyu. After taking a few medicines, it was not cured, so there was no further information.

"The fourth young master is really pitiful." Xing'er looked at Xue Wenyu and said sympathetically, "I beat the young man and I am often bullied by the young master, but my wife doesn't care."

Another older girl in Yuan Jin's room, Liu'er, was twisting a towel for Yuan Jin. Hearing this, he said, "Xing'er, you have no cover, how can you pull off your wife!"

There are not many girls in Yuan Jin's room. There are two young ones, one named Xing'er, the other is even more stupid than Xing'er, and the older one is Liu'er. She is considered the girl in charge of her room and has a relatively calm personality.

Xing'er gently pulled Yuan Jin's sleeve and whispered, "Madam, can the Fourth Young Master live with us? There are still two empty rooms in the west wing. You can watch some so that the young master will not bully him."

Liu'er said again: "Men and female are seven years old and there are different seats. The fourth young master is twelve. How can he live with his wife!"

Xing'er was anxious: "The Fourth Young Master is not someone else, but his wife's younger brother, not to mention that he is not clear about it, so why can't he live together?"

Yuan Jin took Liu'er's towel to wash his face, and saw the two girls fighting lively and didn't say anything.

Of course she wouldn't bring Xue Wenyu to live with her.

Although she has been smart since childhood, she should not worry about the Queen Mother's work. But she is actually extremely soft-hearted, especially for children.

Zhu Xun was kicked and beaten by eunuchs in the cold palace, and her body was covered with scars. She saw her passing outside the cold palace and took Zhu Xun back to Cining Palace. From then on, Zhu Xun lived with her and couldn't get rid of her like a little tail. If she disappeared one day, she would cry and look for her everywhere.

At that time, she was only half a year older than Zhu Xun, and she took him with her like she was taking her younger brother. Zhu Xun was late, and she taught him the Analects of Confucius and the Book of Songs herself. Zhu Xun followed her word by word, always snuggling tightly to her.

But then what.

He betrayed her for power and became the prince. He even killed the two most important people in her life.

People will change when they grow up.

When Yuan Jin thought of this, he hated her kindness at the beginning. Now in the same situation, she doesn't even want to make the same choice.

"Go and call Madam Song and take him back to the outer yard to rest." Yuan Jin ordered Liu'er.

Liu'er was killed and immediately went out to find Madam Song.

She said to Xue Wenyu again: "Sit down first, Madam Song will take you away in a while."

He still didn't answer, and Yuan Jin was used to his silence.

It was late at night, and there was another dull gourd sitting next to me with no movement. Yuan Jin was a little bored when he waited a little, so he opened the two chess boxes on the table and asked Xing'er to take out the chessboard.

After becoming the fourth lady, Yuan Jin's daily life became bored and had nothing else to do except learn from female infrared. When she was in the palace, she was very obsessed with Go. The Empress Dowager also asked the Imperial College Supervisor to teach her how to play chess. She was very talented in chess skills and had few opponents. So now when she was bored, she played chess with herself.

After she put a piece of white pieces on her own, she changed to a chess cup to play black chess.

Xue Wenyu's eyes were on Yuan Jin.

She stood by the table and stared at the chess game. Her beautiful white side face and her cheeks were light pink, making her look even more delicate and delicate. Her untied hair slid to her chest, and there was a silky luster under the oil lamp.

He watched her play chess for a long time.

Just as Yuan Jin was about to set up a black piece, suddenly two slender fingers pressed her hand. Yuan Jin raised his head and saw Wen Yu's cold face. Then he picked up a black piece from the chess cup and placed it on the chessboard.

He can actually play chess?

Yuan Jin was stunned and looked at the chess game first.

Xue Wenyu has never learned Go. He is not good at playing chess, but the piece he has fallen into is a dead chess. So what does he want to do?

Yuan Jin tentatively dropped another white piece, and saw Xue Wenyu take out another piece from the black chess cup and land it not far from her.

Could it be that she was playing chess alone and played chess with her? Yuan Jin felt that he was thinking too much, but this is someone who didn’t even reply to a single sentence for ten sentences, or did he think playing chess is interesting?

"This is a dead chess." Yuan Jin picked up the piece he had just set up and told him, "You should put it in a place where the chess can be alive and breath connected. For example, here."

With a thin hand, I put the white jade into the corner and let out a gentle sound, and the pearls and jade sounds.

The sound of this sound seemed to touch a subtle place. Xue Wenyu's eyelashes moved slightly.

Yuan Jin handed Heizi to him again and said softly: "Where do you think you should go down?"

Wen Yu ignored the chess in her hand, but took out a piece from the chess cup and landed it on the chessboard. Yuan Jin didn't care, so he put the chess back and continued to play the white piece.

Yuan Jin found that Wen Yu actually likes playing chess and is very focused. Although she often needs her to correct her in the middle, he almost started to get better and better. Until Liu'er came in with Madam Song, Madam Song smiled and said, "Fourth Lady, I am going to take the Fourth Master back to rest."

Yuan Jin was a little tired, so he asked Madam Song to take Xue Wenyu back.

Madam Song came over and called Xue Wenyu back, but he continued to play chess without moving at all, and seemed to have heard Madam Song call him.

Madam Song didn't know what to do, but Yuan Jin touched his head and said to him: "You go back and rest first, let's go tomorrow, okay?"

Wen Yu was in a stalemate for a moment, and finally let go of his fingers. Ren Yuanjin took his chess piece and was taken away by Madam Song.

Yuan Jin asked the girl to bring water to wash her face and feet. She was so tired today that she almost fell asleep after falling back.

The next day at Mao hour, the energetic Cui took the girl into the west wing and pulled her out of the bed of the kang: "Your cousin Yinzheng got up and washed up, you slept until dawn and still couldn't wake up, why are you so tired and lazy!" While saying, he directed the woman to put on her newly made clothes yesterday.

Yuan Jin let Cui mess with her sleepy eyes until she was pushed to the dressing table and saw herself in the bronze mirror awake.

Cui took the ruby ​​gold hairpin inlaid on the bottom of the box for her to wear, and also wore a newly made pink silk flower for her, which contrasted with the red crabapple flower and silk croaker on her body. She was full of flowers.

Cui looked at his daughter's beautiful face as beautiful as the moon with satisfaction, and sighed: "It's a good thing that you look like your father, have a good look, and can suppress this dress."

Yuan Jin looked at herself in the mirror and asked after being silent: "Mom, do you think this... looks good?"

She is young and should wear some tender yellow and pink to look fresh, but Cui dresses her up very richly.

"Of course." Cui was very satisfied and urged his daughter to leave soon. "The carriage has been put on, so you'd better not delay it."

But she couldn't get out in such a dress!

Under Yuan Jin's firm opposition, Cui reluctantly agreed to let her change to another pink necklace patterned mat, take out the golden hairpin, and silk flowers. Before she could try anything else, she went out without wearing a hair accessories.

Several carriages were already parked on the screen wall. Several girls were sitting in the car waiting bored. When they saw her outfit, one of the girls in pink laughed first: "The fourth sister is dressed in a colorful manner on weekdays, why is she so simple today!"

Another girl also covered her lips and smiled. "Sister Fourth dresses are too simple, how can she attract the attention of her husband's wishes!"

These two are the legitimate daughters of the second wife, the older one is Xue Yuanshan and the younger one is Xue Yuanyu.

Yuan Jin looked indifferent and followed Cui into the last green-veiled carriage. Compared with the other four carriages, it only seemed a little simpler. The Xue family had four houses in total. Although she was a legitimate daughter, she was the only legitimate daughter of a polite house. Her father was not promising, so the entire four houses were not valued at home.

The girl in pink continued to laugh: "The fourth sister is so rude and ignores her sister's words."

"Okay." A majestic voice came from a sedan chair in front of me, and I saw an old lady with a hairy hair, wearing a slim hair and a sandalwood chromophora. "Shut up whatever you say."

This is Mrs. Xue.

The two girls were scolded by the old lady and then they retracted their heads and put down the curtains of the car.

Old Mrs. Xue glanced at Yuan Jin, but didn't say anything, but closed her eyes.

Cui, who entered the sedan chair, was also very sad and wanted to speak several times before saying, "If you listen to your mother, it would be great to dress like you just now!"

Cui complained all the way until Yuan Jin finally couldn't help it: "Stop talking!"

Cui didn't understand at all. Most of the people who went to Dingguo's mansion today were well-known families. They had good backgrounds and good talents. They dressed too flamboyantly, but they were just a little daughter from a polite house, which was probably even more criticized. What's more, girls of this age do not need jewelry and silk to set off, and they are so pure and tender.
