Chapter 348: Came to take her mother back
Although Baoya agreed, for some reason, she felt that Brother Xiaojing might not come.
Although she didn't know why.
Seeing her stunned, Grandma Yu smiled and said, "Go quickly. If you're late, you'll be scolded by the master."
Baoya came to her senses and nodded.
But she still stood there without moving and asked, "Mother-in-law, since you two know each other, why doesn't Brother Xiaojing want to come and see you?"
Granny Yu sighed softly and said, "Because maybe he thinks it would be better if we didn't meet."
She also knew that it would be safer not to meet at this time, but she was afraid that if she didn't meet again, there would be no chance in the future.
Baoya was sensible and didn't ask any more questions. She said goodbye to her and went out holding Yunyue's hand.
Grandma Yu watched the two of them slowly disappear at the entrance of the alley, shook her head and sighed.
In fact, she and Jingzhen did not have much interaction. When she helped the child, she never thought that the child would repay her one day.
It’s just that the palace is a big and cold place, and she inexplicably wanted to do something good to warm others and her own heart.
Baoya and Yunyue turned out of the alley and Jingzhen was standing on the street waiting for them.
Seeing them come out, he said lightly: "How slow."
Baoya stuck out her tongue and said to him, "Brother Xiaojing, grandma wants you to go with us next time."
Jingzhen said nothing.
Baoya continued, "My grandmother's little rabbit won't eat. Do you know how to cure it?"
Jing Zhen turned his head and glanced at her: "Feed some white-headed owls, and then boil some water."
Baoya was delighted when she heard this: "Can the white-headed old man cure the little rabbit? Do we need to feed it with hot water?"
Jingzhen didn't reply to her, but Yunyue said, "Baoya, Brother Jingzhen is teasing you!"
Baoya blinked, looking puzzled: "What are you teasing me about?"
Yunyue said, "Silly Baoya, although white-headed gentian is a medicinal herb, it's a poisonous weed to rabbits. If you eat it, you'll die!"
"Then why do we need to boil water?" Baoya asked.
Jing Zhen pursed his lips: "Aren't you craving rabbit meat? It's perfect for stewing a pot."
Baoya: ...
She pouted at Jingzhen and said, "When did little brother Jing start joking?"
Jingzhen curled the corners of his lips, did not answer her, but walked towards the academy alone.
He has been feeling vaguely uneasy these days.
First it was Chen Huan, the governor of Cangchen Prefecture, and now it is Yin Qiu, the Minister of Justice. It seems that people from the imperial court have been entering Ping'an Town more and more.
That day, after he met Yin Qiu at Yunji Breakfast Shop, he mobilized people to investigate and found out some interesting things.
First it was the Rong family, and now it’s the Yin family, tsk tsk…
Although Baoya is a little girl with a bad fate, she has pretty good luck.
Her biological mother is the daughter of the old Pavilion Master Rong, and her adoptive mother is the eldest daughter of the Minister of Justice.
Even the Yun family benefited from it.
Seeing Baoya and Yunyue chatting and laughing as usual, he thought they probably didn't know about this yet, so he didn't say anything more.
It is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in matters involving two families.
The three of them arrived at the academy in a blink of an eye. Perhaps because he had taught a talent who was recommended by the Hanlin Academy, Qi Mo was radiant, energetic and particularly motivated.
Now, more than half of the students in Qiuzhitang have passed the exam, and there are only a few left who need to continue working hard and take the college entrance examination next year.
Among the children in the Enlightenment Hall, Qi Mo also circled the key points.
Jingzhen, Fangxian, Baoya, and Yunyue, these four children are all very smart. Maybe the next one to be admitted will come from among them.
So when he met Baoya and the other three, Qi Mo greeted them in a happy mood.
The three of them walked towards the Enlightenment Hall together. When they passed the door of the Knowledge Seeking Hall, they heard the sound of reading aloud from inside.
Baoya stopped, glanced inside, and said with a nostalgic tone: "Whenever I heard the sound of them reading, I missed my brother a little bit."
Yunyue also peeked inside and said, "Brother should be attending morning classes at the Qingjin Academy in Lintian Mansion right now."
Baoya nodded and led the way to the Enlightenment Hall: "Then we have to work harder and pass the entrance exam quickly so that we can go to Qingjin Academy to find big brother!"
Yunyue held her little hand and nodded seriously: "Yes!"
It's another day of studying hard.
After class in the evening, Jingzhen sent the two of them to the Yun family branch shop as usual, and then returned to Hongdouxuan.
Yun Dalang, Wang Cailian and Yun Sanlang had already packed up the shop, closed and locked the door, and were waiting for the two of them to arrive so that they could drive back to Feishui Village.
The setting sun stretched the shadows of the ox cart and the people on it very long, and the clatter of oxen's hooves left the bustling Ping'an Town far behind.
When they arrived at the door of their house at dusk, they saw a carriage parked at the door.
In fact, the Yun family was no longer surprised by the sight of carriages parked in front of their house.
But as soon as Baoya stepped into the yard, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.
The door to the first floor of the main house was open, the lights were on inside, and the small hall was crowded with people. It seemed that all the family members had gathered together to discuss something important.
She and Yunyue looked at each other, and then they trotted over hand in hand. Just as they stepped into the threshold of the house, they suddenly stopped.
Because the main seat where Zhao Zhilan usually sat, the rocking chair was now occupied by a strange old man.
The old man was dressed in gorgeous crimson-purple clothes, with his hair combed neatly, but he had a frown on his face and a stern expression.
Baoya recognized him immediately. This old man was none other than the old man who had been rejected by her and given her a cold look this morning.
The old man sat upright in the rocking chair, staring at Baoya with a frown.
Baoya felt a chill running down her spine when he stared at her, making her shiver unexpectedly.
This old woman wasn't as friendly as her grandmother Zhao Zhilan, nor as childish as her grandfather Rong Bing occasionally, nor as always smiling as Grandma Yu.
The old man had a stern face and said nothing, but his aura made Baoya a little scared.
She couldn't help but tighten her grip on Yunyue's hand, and her other little hand nervously pinched the hem of her clothes.
"Baoya, come here."
The gentle and soft voice belonged to He Chunxiu.
Baoya quickly pulled Yunyue and ran towards He Chunxiu.
Li Rongyue sat next to He Chunxiu, while Yun Chengshou and Yun Chengxi were both taken by Yun Erlang to sleep in the room.
Yunyue swiftly hid behind Li Rongyue, and Baoya snuggled directly into He Chunxiu's arms.
Yin Qiu glanced at Bao Ya, then looked away coldly.
He coughed and said firmly, "In short, you must come back with me today."
"If you can't bear to leave this girl, just take her with you."
Baoya's little hand was held in He Chunxiu's palm, feeling the warmth coming from He Chunxiu's palm.
She realized it later: "Mom, this grandpa is here to take you back? Where to?"
He Chunxiu moved her lips but couldn't say anything.
