Chapter 1 In the Spring
The weather in March is a time when it is still cold and not too cold or too hot.
Yue Mansion swept away the bleakness of autumn and winter, and all the flowers, plants and trees everywhere bloomed with tender green leaves, and the colorful colors dotted it, which made people feel pleasing to the eye.
The young masters and ladies wore heavy big jackets that had been winter, and the middle jacket and small jacket were replaced by newly cut bright spring clothes.
Although the girls dare not be too flirted with each other, they also tried different ways to work on the head flowers and embroidered shoes.
At this moment, a few servants who had been freed gathered behind a tree in front of the second gate, looking inside, hoping to see the beautiful figure who happened to be passing by.
News just came out in the mansion, saying that a group of older girls were going to release their marriage. Although the best group might not be their turn, who would have no extravagant expectations? What if they were in love with any outstanding girl?
"Here, come!"
With such a suppressed and joyful shout, the servants all stared at their eyes and watched with breath as their feet wearing extremely gorgeous embroidered shoes gradually approaching the winding path. However, they soon discovered that the legs were extremely short, and even the shortest girl in the mansion could not have had such a figure.
When the overly lush bushes finally could not cover the upper body of the visitor, they were all stunned.
Her face is made of pink and jade, her big red butterflies are wearing flower shirts, her green trousers are sprinkled with flowers, and a heavy gold-inlaid treasure collar hanging around her neck, just like the money-giving boy in the painting that year.
Who is this?
While someone was muttering, a good memory had already answered this question: "It's the Ninth Master."
"What the Ninth Young Master, I'm just a guy I've picked up!"
The person who said this was Jin Guan, who was tall and handsome in appearance. At this moment, his jealous gaze pierced Yue Qianqiu like a needle.
The other three servants didn’t know why Jin Guan said badly. Someone laughed and said, “Jin Guan, the ninth prince was picked up by the old master. You were picked up by the third master. Your life would be different.”
"That's right, Master Third handed you over to Manager Lin to raise you. You were picked up at the age of eight and you were lucky enough to be with Master Seven. But look at Master Ninth, you were picked up by Master Ninth and raised as your grandson!"
"We have four generations in Yue Mansion, the old master, three masters, eight masters, and younger generations, such as Chang'an master. It's not easy to choose someone to adopt the fourth master who leaves. Why should the old master raise a foreign surname?"
They are all slaves. Facing a person with a background similar to those of you, but flying to the branches to be a phoenix, the few servants talked a lot, and naturally there was no good words.
At the end, Jin Guan snorted softly: "In the mansion, he used to think that he was born in the outer room of the fourth master. The old man couldn't bear the family blood being left outside, so he brought it back in person. If the old man hadn't said something a few days ago, he would have seen a woman dying on the road, and a child lying next to him. He felt compassion for a moment, and someone buried the woman and carried the child back, who would have known this? Not to mention anything else, even his name is the most special, the Ninth Master... Who is the young master?"
"I'll say less. After all, the old man personally went to the family tree and registered in the yamen and passed the Ming Road. If you didn't see the master and the young man, you could only pinch your nose and recognize him?"
Yue Qianqiu at the second door vaguely heard the comments, but completely ignored the stinging eyes.
The old man likes to dress him up as Wuxi Da Afu. He has long accepted his fate, but every time he looks at his short arms and legs, he sighs and wants to grow up.
When he first opened his eyes and found himself in the sea of fire, he felt that he was having a nightmare. He still remembers the three words he said when the woman who swept the cold water in the pot and hugged him out of the sea of fire - I'm sorry.
Whether it was being carried by Yan Er to Old Master Yue or Old Master Yue to adopt him and named him, he once numbed himself, thinking that this was a dream. Until the dream lasted for too long, for seven years, it was so long that he could no longer regard it as a simple nightmare.
Here, the Sui Dynasty was not killed for two generations, but lasted for more than a hundred years. Later, the Wei Dynasty was in the Sui Dynasty for more than 200 years, and the world was in chaos. Now, the Taizu of the Wu Dynasty took advantage of the situation and rose up, conquered the country for his entire life, and established his capital in Jinling. He has become the fourth emperor.
But the Yue family, which seems to be rich and prosperous, is not a famous family, or even a scholarly family. Old Master Yue, who was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, was not even a poor family at that time. He was just a mistress, but he couldn't help but take the imperial examination. From a minor official to a second-rank high-ranking official now, it was a living legend.
Master Yueda served as the prefect outside the country, and his eldest son Yue Tingzhong was already on the Jinshi list at 26 last year, but he ranked last in the third place. Fortunately, Master Yue was still a beautiful official with a doctorate in the Imperial College.
Master Yue Er died of a free job in Taichang Temple. Master Yue San didn't want to stay in the election after he came out of Taixue, so he relied on his wife's mother's family to do business, and he was even more prosperous.
Only his adoptive father in the name of Yue Qianqiu, the oldest son of Yue Si, was dissatisfied with the marriage and ran away from home. He had not even heard of him for many years and did not even know whether he was alive or not!
Even though the fourth house is inconspicuous at Yue’s house, the old man accidentally stabbed him as an adopted son a few days ago, which was still like stabbing a hornet’s nest!
Yue Qianqiu was in a daze, and a soft voice suddenly came from behind: "Young Master, why are you here again?"
With this sound, the peeping servants in front of the second gate saw a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old appearing behind Yue Qianqiu.
The pair of butterflies with green willow silk ribbons tied with hair, the upper body is ginger, the shirt embroidered with primrose on the edge, the Hunan skirt with green duck eggs, the outside is covered with a tender green armor, and the pair of butterflies are lifelike on the pair of embroidered shoes. Such a fresh and tender color, combined with her bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyebrows and eyes are picturesque, making them stare unbounce.
When he saw her putting a cloak on Yue Qianqiu, several people wanted to be Yue Qianqiu who was being served.
That was a famous beauty among the girls in the inner courtyard. It was originally named Luo Qiu. When the old man personally selected Yue Qianqiu three years ago, he changed his name, now it is Luo Xia. Everyone knows that this is because her original name violated the name of the Ninth Master. She secretly beat her chest and stamped her feet. She felt that there were many people who had no knowledge and changed the customs.
It’s a pity that this girl’s godmother is so greedy. In a few days, a flower will be inserted into cow dung!
Yue Qianqiu yawned, then said lazily: "I'm so idle, walk around."
"The backyard is so big, so where can't I go? I have to run to the second gate?" Luo Xia said angrily. Seeing Yue Qianqiu turn around and walk back, she hurriedly followed her. Lianbu Shanshan, the silver bell tied with a long hanging belt on her skirt waist could only make a light sound, which made everyone outside sway.
Yue Qianqiu, who was walking in front of her, did not look back.
Of course, he knew how popular his big girl was in the inner and outer courtyards. He also heard the little girls chattering enviously, saying that Luoxia is the best in the lotus step, and even many daughters may not have such a figure. Unfortunately, he is so cute now that he can't do anything, and he can't appreciate the ringtone of this person without moving his skirt.
Moreover, Luoxia is going to be released and married this time, which is quite tricky.
As he walked, he suddenly felt that someone seemed to be approaching his back, and he couldn't help but pause. Sure enough, the next moment, Luoxia came to his ear from behind and whispered: "Young Master, I heard from my godmother that there is always someone wandering around the back street these days, asking about you everywhere. There are so many people there, so don't go to the back door in the future."
He was young and could not go out. Yue Qianqiu used to be able to wander around the mansion, and he often wandered around the back door. At this moment, when he heard Luo Xia's words, he nodded casually, but he thought quickly in his heart.
He never thought he would have any life experience that shocked the world and was so heartbroken that he had saved him very much, but he didn't even know whether it was his mother or who was his wife. No matter what, he was his life-saving benefactor.
However, now that he adopted this one has just been exposed, and those who know how to find out about his people on the back street are from!
Therefore, when he returned to the room, An An was stunned for a while. Yue Qianqiu took a look at Luo Xia's loophole, immediately took out the only clothes that were not very swaying, and slipped out again. Of course, he had no ability to hide, and he ran into several maids along the way, but as if he was nowhere to be around, those people paid less attention to him.
The road was unobstructed and he saw a few children about the same age as him playing shuttlecocks and turning ropes on the back street that was not wide.
When he saw him appear, he didn't know who shouted, and everyone scattered like birds and beasts, and even the adults who had nothing to do with great trouble flashed.
Knowing that his adopted son was not popular, Yue Qianqiu simply crossed the threshold and left the back door, then looked around, eleven curious babies.
After carefully searching the portals with his eyes, he finally vaguely discovered that there seemed to be a figure hiding at the door of a small courtyard. After a few glances, he withdrew his gaze, stretched as if he was indifferent, muttered, "It's so boring, I'm back", turned around and entered the back door again.
He had just walked a few steps before he walked behind him, and a low voice that was extremely depressing came from behind.
