After listening to Hong Yan's words, Lin Wanwan pondered for a moment and said: "As a guest in the house, I also want to visit. But since you said she is withdrawn, I'm afraid she may not be willing to see me. How about this, you go and give me this gift.
Yes, we can’t leave her alone.”
Hongyan was a little confused: "My lady doesn't know something. Although the young lady who lives in Zhuyuan is not easy to deal with, her status is quite noble. If I were to give the gift..."
Lin Wanwan understood that this was something that the Xiao family was both difficult to deal with and had to support.
Lin Wanwan had never mentioned such a person in the news she had heard from the steward, Lao Chen. Moreover, no one she had visited before had mentioned her. This was strange, but it made Lin Wanwan a little curious.
She looked at Hongyan intently for a while and then said calmly: "In that case, you lead the way and knock on the door. If she welcomes her, we will go in. Otherwise, we will give up. As long as the etiquette is fulfilled."
Hongyan did not obey the order immediately, but looked at Xiao Qingyu and said: "The people there are a bit messy. It's best for me not to go, for fear of being scared."
Lin Wanwan was slightly startled. Is it so weird? A noble lady, followed by a group of heavenly beings?
However, Hongyan is a slave here. Since she said this, she will definitely not be talking nonsense, so she said to Yun Shang: "Then you take Xiao Yu'er back to our house first. She is tired after walking around for so long.
.”
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu'er was still unwilling and insisted on following. However, Lin Wanwan was afraid of scaring her, so she still refused to let her go with her. She coaxed her and said: "Xiao Yu'er, follow Aunt Yunshang back to the room obediently. I will reward you with a chocolate today.
, how about asking Aunt Yunshang to give it to you?"
Xiao Yu'er rolled her eyes and nodded sharply: "Okay, then, mother, you have to come back soon."
"Well, be good, go ahead."
After Yun Shang bowed to Lin Wanwan, she took Xiao Qingyu and walked away. It wasn't until the two of them turned around and lost sight of the courtyard wall that Lin Wanwan said to Hongyan, "Lead the way."
"Here."
"What is the name of the person who lives inside? How old is he this year? How is he different?"
Hongyan replied: "Her maiden name is Yixun. She is twenty-eight years old. Well, she looks very white. My wife will know it when she sees her."
Extremely white? Could it be albinism?
"Are your hair and eyebrows also white?"
"yes."
It seems that he is definitely albinism, which is quite pitiful. Not to mention albinism in the Tang Dynasty, even modern medicine cannot cure it. He must have been ridiculed by others since he was a child. No wonder he has a withdrawn personality. This time
Who is not lonely?
The Bamboo Garden is located behind a bamboo forest. After walking through the forest path, you arrive in front of the courtyard gate.
Hongyan took a deep breath and knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened, and a young man with a cleft lip and palate came out. Hongyan was so frightened that his breath stagnated, and he suppressed his fear and said: "Ms. Lin came to the house today, especially
Come visit the little lady."
The boy with the cleft lip and palate tilted his head, looking past Hongyan and looking at Lin Wanwan. After a while, he said with an indifferent expression: "Then come in."
After saying that, he opened the courtyard door with a "squeak" sound.
When Lin Wanwan saw this boy with a cleft lip and palate, there was nothing strange about his face. She had seen such a person before in her grandparents' village, and he was the child of an older remarried widow.
Before the demolition, the man who the widow married was in a mediocre family, so he didn't have the awareness to undergo prenatal check-ups. Finally, he gave birth to a son with cleft lips, which became a topic of conversation among the villagers for a while.
Even though the child had surgery later, there were still marks on his lips. He was teased a lot by his friends, and he was still withdrawn and didn't like to go out. Lin Wanwan saw him occasionally, but didn't think anything of it.
At this time, the two of them silently followed the cleft lip and palate boy to the yard. The servants they met along the way were, as Hongyan said, either stupid or mentally retarded, or with crooked mouths and squinting eyes. Anyway, they were all deformed.
This place is simply an exhibition hall of walking deformed humans.
Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, why does it feel so scary! A cleft lip and palate is nothing, and a case of polio is nothing, but when a large number of people are not normal, it is a bit uncomfortable.
But now that we have come, it doesn’t seem good to leave again, so we might as well keep walking.
After a while, the two came to the door of the room. Hongyan stood outside and said loudly: "Little madam, my wife just came to Xiao Mansion today and came here to pay a special visit."
The door suddenly opened, and a girl with skin as cold as snow came out - she was truly snow-white, even her dress was spotless white, without any pretense.
Without saying a word, the other party raised her gray-blue eyes and stared straight at Lin Wanwan. Even her eyelashes were white, but they were very thick.
Lin Wanwan looked at the other party and secretly marveled in her heart. Although the girl in front of her had white hair and white eyebrows, her facial features were incredibly delicate, and her cold face had a thrilling beauty. If Xiao Chong is too handsome to be a human being, then in front of her
The girl is just weird and doesn't look like a human being in this world.
But compared to the grotesque-looking slaves in this yard, this master is definitely a beautiful woman who will conquer the country.
Seeing that the other party was silent, Lin Wanwan took the lead in making a cross-hand salute, and then said: "I'm Lin Wanwan, I'm new here, please give me some advice in the future."
After finishing speaking, he said to Hongyan: "Present the gift."
Hongyan silently held up a box that also contained cleansing soap and handed it to the mute girl who stood next to the white-haired girl like a ghost.
The reason why I know that the other party is mute is of course because I have been in contact with him. After all, the other party is the direct daughter of the Xiao family's imperial uncle. Since she lives here as a guest, no matter how weird she is, she can't really ignore her.
The mute girl silently took the brocade box from Hongyan's hand, and then retreated to the shadows. Her body was as light as a swallow, and she walked silently.
Lin Wanwan felt strange in her heart. She didn't want to stay here and watch the peepshow anymore, so she forced a smile and said, "Now that the gift has been delivered, I won't disturb my cousin Qingyou anymore. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he crossed his arms again and turned around to leave.
At this moment, the girl suddenly spoke: "Wait, why don't you ask me what my name is?"
The girl's voice was as clear as a mountain stream, with a hint of innocence in her tone.
Lin Wanwan raised her body and said with a smile: "I don't know how to call my cousin?"
The girl replied: "My surname is Xiao, Xiao Yixun." After saying this, she suddenly stretched out her hand from her sleeve, and there was a piece of mutton-fat jade spread out in her palm, with her name engraved on it.
Lin Wanwan nodded: "Hello, cousin Yixun, nice to meet you."
Xiao Yixun looked at Lin Wanwan and said, "Happy? What does happiness look like?"
Lin Wanwan raised her eyebrows: "Happiness is an emotion, a very pleasant and happy emotion."
Xiao Yixun was silent. After a moment, he nodded: "Goodbye."
After saying that, he turned around and entered the house. From the beginning to the end, he never invited Lin Wanwan in - of course, the latter didn't want to go in either.
