"Let's go..." Although Wenhua was a little scared, he still had to face it.
The two of them dawdled for a long time and finally returned home before dark.
Before leaving, the old lady enthusiastically wrapped a bag of "Eagle Tea" in cloth for them to take away. Wenshu had no choice but to accept it.
On the way back, we continued along the same path we came from.
When she walked to the small door in the backyard, Wen Shu noticed several dark shadows swaying at the door.
Wenhua's voice came from behind: "Sister, tell me if I am good to you..." This voice was completely different from the pride in the afternoon, and was full of uneasiness.
Wenshu held Old Eagle Tea in her arms. After spending an afternoon together, she had a general understanding of her cousin's personality.
Just as my aunt said, Wenhua is lively, courageous but also timid.
She pretended not to notice her cousin's abnormality.
"Sister Hua is of course good!"
"That, that..."
Wen Shu: "Sister, what's the matter? Just tell me."
Wenhua: "Pengpeng, my dear sister! Can you say a few good words for me later?"
Wen Shu remained silent, her eyes fixed on the door. She saw a figure swaying outside the door, as if walking towards them.
Wenhua looked at Wenshu anxiously, lowering his voice, "Just say you just returned home and aren't familiar with the environment yet, so you want to find a sister your own age to take care of you."
Wenhua spoke very quickly and finished his words in one breath.
Although she tried her best to slow down the speed of the dark clouds, what was coming was still coming.
Wenshu: "Sister, Wenshu is awake."
Just then, a dark shadow appeared before his eyes.
The person who came was someone close to my grandmother. She walked over quickly and saw that the two girls were safe and sound, and she finally felt relieved.
"Oh, my little ancestor! You're finally back!"
A maid who had been working for the old lady during the day came out to greet them with a cheerful look on her face: "Ladies, the old lady has been looking forward to your return!"
She looked at the eldest girl with some concern and reminded her, "Both girls have come from a long journey. Go soak in hot water first to avoid catching a cold.
Now that you're back, it's time to go report back to the old lady."
After saying that, the woman picked up the lantern in her hand and walked towards the old lady's yard.
Wenhua looked at the woman's back and felt relieved. She knew that her grandmother had sent word that it was finally safe tonight.
"Miss, Madam asked you to..." Wenhua had just dismounted when the maid who served her mother came up.
Her own maid stood in front of the door, shrinking back and not daring to come forward.
Wenhua understood at a glance that his girl must have been blamed for his sake.
Wenhua quickly stepped forward and said to the old woman with a smile, "Auntie, why are you waiting for me at the door? We're back now, and we won't run away."
"My dear aunt, the lady was so angry that she didn't even have dinner..." the old woman said anxiously.
As he spoke, he pulled the dark clouds.
Thinking about his wife's instructions, he said apologetically, "Fifth Lady, where did my daughter take you to today?"
Needless to say, this dangerous place is where they went this afternoon.
"It's not dangerous. My sister saw me for the first time and she saw that I was compatible with her personality. We sisters have a good relationship. She took me around to get familiar with the place."
"It's time to go around. The environment here is pretty good, with beautiful mountains and rivers, which is good for people..."
Wenshu knew that the lady didn't believe it completely, but she said it for the sake of face.
After saying that, the man waved to the girl who was hiding her head at the door.
"You two girls, what are you still standing there for now that your girls are home?"
"Girl"
"Girl"
It's not that they don't have good eyesight. Just now, the old lady's personal servants were in front of them, and the eldest lady's people were here too.
They saw it from afar, but they didn't dare to show their heads.
When a person first arrives in a strange place, he will become cautious in doing anything.
The other person followed his master and played outside for a long time, but now he has to act with caution.
"Girl, the old lady has already sent word today that the two girls have just returned home, and the other two young masters will be sent to the courtyard tonight. You can eat on your own. After all, you are exhausted from the long journey and need a good rest."
"I understand, ma'am." Wenhua replied with a smile.
Wenhua then called his maid to his side and gently instructed, "It's dark and slippery tonight. The fifth lady just got home and is not very familiar with the layout of the house. You should take the fifth lady to her yard."
"Yes, girl." The girl responded obediently.
Wenhua turned to look at Wenshu and said gently, "Fifth Miss, please follow me."
The girl led Wenshu and Shaoyao along the path.
After Wenhua finished speaking, he handed the reins to the servant who was already waiting by the side and was responsible for taking care of the horses at home.
Watching their figures gradually disappear into the darkness.
Then he lowered his voice: "Second Miss, you are really..."
He shook his head, his face full of helplessness.
"Auntie, please don't tell my mother!" Wenhua's tone was pleading. She knew very well that she was emitting an unpleasant sour smell of sweat.
If I go up to my mother like this, I'm afraid she will be very angry.
Wenhua knew that her mother was very strict with her, and every mother wanted her child to excel.
As a girl, and in her youth, her mother would naturally be more worried and nervous.
Especially this time when she was caught sneaking out to play, her mother was so worried that she couldn't sleep all day and night.
Wenhua defended herself, "Auntie, don't you think I'm safe now? As the saying goes, a tree that doesn't move dies, but a person who moves lives. Although I can't be like men, I'm no worse than them.
And the reason why we can enjoy a moment of peace here is because of the protection of our family.
You may not know that the world outside is in chaos, and people are in chaos too."
At the end of his speech, Wenhua's voice became softer and softer, as if he was thinking of something unpleasant.
Seeing this, the woman stopped persuading him.
In fact, she knew very well in her heart that although the lady taught Wenhua a lesson harshly, it was actually more out of concern and worry for her.
The girl has reached the age to get married.
With this family background, the girl will not have trouble finding a husband, but finding a good and virtuous husband who can support her daughter's life and be a good match for her is a serious matter.
