In December, it was snowy everywhere and the weather was freezing cold. Shuyao was sitting on the plum blossoms in the corner of the embroidery courtyard by the window. The little girl, who had grown up a lot, lay lazily at her feet, jumping up and down.

No matter how Huo Huo was teasing or provoking him, he just half-closed his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention.

Mother Liu was sitting on the armchair on the other side, making a quilted robe for Shu Wen.

Mother Liu is very good at needlework, and now most of the clothes of the three Shuyao brothers are made by her, which are beautiful and comfortable. Mother Liu also likes to see the three of them wearing robes that she has sewn and embroidered by herself, and she also likes to make them for them.

With the same series of clothes, people can tell that they are brothers and sisters at a glance.

Looking at the half-finished picture of plum blossoms reflected in the snow on the Shuyao embroidery cloth, Liu's mother was very proud. Her girl was really talented in learning embroidery. At such a young age, it only took her less than half a year to embroider quite well.

Quality. Of course, what Liu’s mother didn’t know was that in order not to appear too abrupt, Shuyao tried her best to embroider simpler pictures with fewer colors.

The eldest girl and the second girl brought two bowls of red date ginger tea and placed them on the small round table: "Girl, mom, drink some ginger tea to warm yourself up."

Shuyao put down her embroidery bag and walked over: "It's been really cold since I've been sitting there and not moving around! Did brother and Wen'er send it to them?" At least she still had good silver frost charcoal burning here for warmth, and Shujie and his brothers were in the study.

Reading and practicing calligraphy, but there is no burning charcoal.

Shujie believes that men should not be too coquettish. Now Shuwen is in good health and has started practicing martial arts with him. Therefore, the Shujie brothers do not use charcoal in their house and study, and they do not wear as many clothes as Shuyao and the others.

"Sent it, Aunt Mei brought it in." Erniu replied with a smile, soaked the handkerchief in hot water, wrung it out and wiped Shuyao's hands. "We also have it, Aunt Mei cooked a big pot

, and also gave a large bowl to Aunt Li and Ajuan's family."

Aunt Li lives next door, and Sister-in-law Ajuan’s house is right across the door. Whatever good things they cook at home, they all want to share some with each other. The things are not very expensive, but the rare thing is the enthusiasm, which is also a small thing in the market.

The difference between a small household and a large household. Today's Shuyao likes this kind of "commodity, conventional" warmth.

"It's so sweet!" Shuyao took a sip, with an expression of enjoyment on her face, "You guys go and drink it too, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Da Niu sisters agreed. In this home, they eat and drink like their masters, and they can also learn to read and embroider from Shu Yao. The three young masters are all people with no airs, and Mother Liu and Aunt Mei are also kind and approachable.

, the life was very comfortable and comfortable. The girl also allowed them to go back to Zhuangzi every half month to visit their parents and brothers. Their parents always told them repeatedly to abide by their duties, know how to cherish, and serve the young master and the girl well, and not to worry about the master.

Treat them well and take it easy.

Shuyao drank ginger-date tea and was about to stand up and walk around before continuing her embroidery when Erniu came in hurriedly: "Girl, Mrs. Wu next to my aunt is here. It seems that my aunt is not well."

Shuyao was shocked: "What's wrong with aunt? Where is Mrs. Wu? Does eldest brother know?"

Erniu hurriedly replied: "Aunt Mei took Mother Wu to the study to meet the eldest young master. She asked me to come and tell the girl."

Shuyao was in a hurry: "Let's go over and have a look." Yesterday, their brothers and sisters were still discussing whether they would go to Lucheng to visit their aunt after the snow stopped in the next few days. They were counting the time and their aunt was about to give birth. Could it be that her aunt still can't live through that period in this life?

Tribulation? But the time has not come yet!

When she rushed to the door of the study, she heard Wu's mother crying. Shuyao was so anxious that she was about to cry. Don't let anything happen! The aunt is the closest relative of the three brothers and sisters in the world. As for the rest of the Xia Mansion

In the hearts of Shuyao and the other two people, they are truly inferior to ordinary clan members.

"Mother Wu, what's wrong with my aunt?" Shuyao rushed into the study, not caring about the rules such as "walk on small steps and speak in whispers".

Mother Wu hugged Shuyao and said, "Cousin, wuwuwu, madam, she is not well. I want to see you three brothers and sisters one last time."

"Is it bad? Why is it bad? Has my aunt given birth to a baby?" Shuyao burst into tears. Over there, Shujie was already discussing with Mama Liu and Aunt Mei about getting on the road to Lucheng. It's still day.

It was snowing, but no matter what, they had to rush to Lucheng to see Xia Ruoyun.

Mother Wu cried even more sadly: "My wife was hit by the young master... She was born prematurely, and she is a young master... Although the young master is a bit older, luckily he is not too big, and he was born after a while...

At first everyone thought everything was fine, but who would have thought that my wife suddenly had a massive hemorrhage and it was hard to stop the bleeding... Wuwu... But the doctor said that my wife was bleeding too much, suffered serious losses, and could not survive ten days and a half... Wuwu...

As soon as my wife woke up...in addition to wanting to see the young master...she said she wanted to see you one last time."

"Young Master? Why did the Young Master hit my aunt? Where are all the people waiting next to me?" Shuyao said angrily, she had a gut feeling that there was something wrong here.

The wife in front of Master Zhang died in childbirth and died after struggling to give birth to a boy. The eldest young master Zhang Xu seemed to be six or seven years old this year and had a good relationship with Xia Ruoyun. Xia Ruoyun, like Zhen Zirou, was a kind-hearted person.

My stepmother has always treated Brother Xu as if she were her own child.

Shuyao remembered that Xia Ruoyun told Zhen Zirou that Brother Xu was very attached to her and listened to her words, and his jokes made Mr. Zhang jealous. Mother Wu also said when she came to see Shuyao and the others a month ago, Brother Xu always

I talk to my little brother in my wife’s belly every day.

Mother Wu choked up and said: "My wife was walking in the small garden. The young master was praised by his teacher in school. As soon as he came back, he ran all the way to tell his wife what he wanted to say. As a result, he slipped and fell on the fried soybeans that spilled out of his pocket.

He bumped into the wife. The master was furious and locked the eldest young master into a dark room. The eldest young master was also frightened and kept crying to see the wife and the young master, saying that there was no hole in his wallet."

Shuyao intuitively felt that things were not that simple. Brother Xu was only six or seven years old, and he was very close to Xia Ruoyun...

Shujie quickly made a decision. Mother Liu and Erniu followed the three brothers and sisters to Lucheng, while Aunt Mei stayed at home with Da Niu and Xiutao.

Because of the snow, the journey usually takes less than three hours, so I hurried and walked slowly, but it still took nearly six hours.

When Shuyao and his party arrived at Zhang's house, it was already past You hour and it was already dark.

As soon as she followed Mother Wu into the inner courtyard, a little maid rushed over and cried loudly: "Mother Wu, you are back. Madam, madam is dying. The doctor only shook his head and said there was nothing we could do, and asked us to prepare for the funeral.

, now I am hanging on the ginseng my uncle and wife gave me."

Shujie held his siblings one by one: "Quick, take us over to see our aunt."
