C12 (1/2)
Kid, why are you here again? He Yuan arrived at Old Madam He's hall early in the morning and was slightly surprised to see Tao Lingjie. She had just arrived yesterday, so why was she here today? However, he could hear Madam Shang Shu saying to Madam He, ”I was worried when I went back last night. It would be better if someone came over to find out about my sister this morning. I'd better come over personally!” Fortunately, sister was still full of life and vigor. That was good enough. When he heard that I wanted to come, he pestered me to bring him here, saying that he had something to say to his sister. For those of you who are children, you should know that pushing your sister is your fault. You are here to apologize! ”
Apologize? Why are your eyes wide open? He Yuan glanced at Tao Lingjie and went over to pay respects to Old Madam He and Madam Shang Shu. He still hadn't had his blessings, so he was already embraced by Madam Shang. He didn't wait for her to speak as he said, ”It's been a day since we last met.” As he spoke, he gestured for He Yuan to sit at the side and asked Tao Lingjie, ”Don't you have something to say to little sister?”
He Yuan raised his head and saw Tao Lingjie looking at him anxiously. After a while, he came over and cautiously asked, ”Little sister, do you know how to speak?”
Eh … … He Yuan couldn't help but shake his head. What's wrong with this kid?
”You really can't speak?” Tao Lingjie looked panic-stricken and waved his chubby hand, ”I didn't do it on purpose, I really didn't do it on purpose! When I go back, I'll definitely find my little big brother to undo the incantation. ” As she said this, she stood up and pulled at Madam Shang's hand. ”Grandmother, let's hurry back. I'm afraid if we're too late, it'll be too late.”
”What's too late?” Madam Shang Shu sat upright and did not move. She patted Tao Lingjie's hand and asked, ”Child, what happened to you today?”
”Oh, sister doesn't know how to talk!” Tao Lingjie burst into tears and sobbed as he recounted the matter.
It turned out that he had been wronged yesterday and had gone back to find his elder brother to ask him what was the best way for him to keep his mouth shut. His brother was reading a book, carelessly coaxing him to write down the name of a little grass doll, then sewing a tongue for it with a needle. He chanted a few incantations, ”Once upon a time, a little kid lied, but yesterday, when he went to sleep, Hades would come and play with her tongue.” After he recited it, he would bury the grass doll and the person would not be able to speak. Tao Lingjie momentarily believed this to be true, so he got the old servant to help him become a little grass doll. Then he wrote He Yuan's name, found a little girl, and forced her to sew a little piece of cloth for the grass doll's tongue. Then, he quietly hid the grass doll in the garden and buried it in the ground. He was deeply afraid that He Yuan wouldn't be able to speak, so he pestered Madam Shang Shu to bring him over to see He Yuan. He didn't speak at all when they met, and immediately panicked, thinking that He Yuan had really chanted an incantation.
After Tao Lingjie finished speaking, everyone in the room burst into laughter. Even He Yuan was rolling in Old Madam He's arms in laughter.
”If you can laugh, then can you speak?” Tao Lingjie was still worried. She stared at He Yuan's hand that was covering her mouth, wanting to see if her tongue was still there.
”Return my tongue!” He Yuan stood up with a smile, stuck out his tongue, and made a face as he went over to scare Tao Lingjie. ”I don't know how to speak!”
”Haha …” Everyone laughed again.
When Tao Lingjie saw that He Yuan was still fine and that the incantation had not taken effect, she heaved a sigh of relief. She pulled Shang Shu's husband and said, ”Grandmother, hurry up and leave. Big brother lied to me. I want to go home and settle accounts with him.”
After a while, He Nian and elder sister who were in the room heard Tao Lingjie's joke and both laughed. Since the little olives had already been sent to the school, they chose to send He Yuan to the He Estate's school today. In the morning, they had called He Yuan to come and tell Matriarch He personally.
The He Mansion's school was a separate courtyard. It was located at the southeast corner of the garden. It was a warm summer day.
After a few days of schooling, He Yuan found out that the girls of the He Mansion had all formed their own schools. The head of the main house was Eldest Young Madam's direct daughter, He Min, and Second Young Madam's direct daughter, He Yi. The girl in charge of the second house, however, was not Hei Shun or He Qi, who had made a name for themselves in front of Mrs. He, but rather a unfamiliar girl. Hearing everyone call the girl Miss Shi, He Yuan realized that the girl was actually the niece of his second wife, Mrs. Shi's parents, Shi Yue. The leader of the third branch now looked like Li's daughter, He Yi. However, He Yi was only four years old and looked to be the most vulnerable due to his young age.
Due to the fact that Mister came a little later, Shi Yue began to fight with the maidservant, Southern Branch, and the maidservant, Rose. The reason was merely because when Rose passed by Nanzhi, she accidentally squeezed her, and Nanzhi immediately stepped on her foot. Rose was also not an easy person, she immediately stepped back, because she was afraid that the adults outside would hear her, so she didn't dare to loudly shout at her. After he had drunk a few mouthfuls, Shi Yue remained silent, only coldly watching him.
Although Madam Shi was born from a concubine, Shi Yue was the granddaughter of Shi Manor. As her grandfather was an official of the second rank, because her father had given her a position outside the household, Madam Shi had been taken over by Madam Shi. However, after a while, he found that He Min and He Yi relied on the eldest concubine's granddaughter to be born. He also found that He Min and He Yi relied on the eldest concubine's granddaughter to be born. Since her master was angry, as a girl, she would naturally wait for the opportunity to vent her anger on her master. Therefore, South Branch took the opportunity to step on Rose, luring her to make a move, to let He Yi and the others see, the Second Branch has the support of the people from Shi Clan, and is not someone to be easily bullied.
He YuanNian was the youngest. When they met, the little girl would start fighting, so naturally, they were afraid of getting involved. They quietly went to the door and shouted, ”Fighting, we're going to kill them!”
