Seeing him crying so sadly, the guilt in He Jia's heart was aroused again. She walked over and said uncomfortably: "Okay, it was the third sister who was wrong just now. The third sister was mean to you, please stop crying."
"Third sister said... that I... am stupid." Yongyan cried so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she kept saying one sentence for a long time.
"I just said it casually." Seeing Yongyan still crying, she added: "You are not stupid, not stupid at all. I will teach you how to weave grasshoppers again. Please don't be angry with Third Sister, okay?"
?”
With He Jia's comfort, Yong Yan finally stopped crying, picked up the half bamboo grasshopper from the ground, and sobbed: "Then Third Sister... don't make it up so fast this time."
"Okay, I'll make it up slower." He Jia wiped away the tears that were still hanging on Yong Yan's face and pinched his cheeks. After these days of recuperation, he was so thin that he was drugged by Xia Qing.
The little face under the next layer of skin finally has some flesh again.
This time, Hejia taught slowly. Yongyan followed him and made up bit by bit. After making several mistakes, he finally made up a complete Grasshopper, which made him jump up and down with joy, holding a bamboo stick.
The Grasshopper showed it to this one and that one, so he felt very unhappy.
Seeing him like this, He Jia's heart suddenly moved, and he thought of it, beckoning: "Yongyan, come here, I will take you to play more fun things."
At Yongyan's age, he loves to play. When he heard this, he immediately became energetic and asked quickly: "What is it?"
"You'll know when you get there, let's go." After holding Yongyan's hand, she said to the nuns who were about to follow: "Don't follow me."
Mammy said in embarrassment: "But the master has told me that Brother Fifteen cannot be allowed to go out alone. The slaves..."
Hejiala lowered her face and said, "What do you mean by going out alone? Am I not a human being? Or do you think I, a princess, don't exist at all?" With such a big hat knocked down, how dare you say no?
I didn't even dare to follow him even if I stayed in the house even half a step.
After getting out of the house, Yong Yan couldn't wait to say: "Third sister, please tell me what kind of fun thing it is!"
"Don't worry, you'll know it soon." He Jia took him to Kuai Xuexuan where he lived, and rummaged through the box to find several flat objects, with a thin stick underneath.
Yongyan took it in his hand and looked through it, wondering: "What is this?"
"This is called a bamboo dragonfly. As long as you rub the bottom handle with both hands and then release it, the bamboo dragonfly will fly into the sky. If you rub it harder, it can fly very high."
Yongyan said with surprise on his face: "Third Sister said that this thing can fly, is it true?"
"When did Third Sister lie to you? Come on, let's go back to Zhaoyang Palace to play." With that, she took Yongyan, who was full of curiosity, back to Zhaoyang Palace. As soon as he stepped into the palace, the latter couldn't wait to let Hejia perform.
Show it to him. After discovering that the bamboo dragonfly can fly into the sky as He Jia said, he clapped his hands repeatedly with joy, "It's fun, it's really fun."
As he spoke, Yongyan followed He Jia's example and played with the bamboo dragonflies in his hand, making them fly up one by one, then ran over to pick them up, and started over and over again; a few small bamboo dragonflies made him
Had a great time.
During such play, the two of them came to the back of Zhaoyang Hall unknowingly. While picking up bamboo dragonflies, Yongyan saw He Jia standing there motionless and asked in confusion: "Third Sister, what's wrong with you?"
He Jia pointed to a room with open windows in front and said, "I accidentally dropped the bamboo dragonfly in there."
Yong Yan walked to the window, stood on tiptoes and looked inside, "I saw a bamboo dragonfly, but it can't be reached, and there's no one inside. Let's go in and get it."
"This..." Hejia said hesitantly: "Is it okay? Whose room is this?"
"I only know that Aunt Jinping and the others live in this area. As for whose room this is..." Yongyan scratched his head, and when he saw a sheepskin water bag hanging on the wall, his eyes lit up and he said
: "I understand, this is Eunuch Qi's room."
He Jia smiled and said, "Can't you see that you have sharp eyes? Then I will test you again, who owns the two remaining rooms?"
Yongyan made a face and said, "I won't let Third Sister fail the exam." As he said that, he opened the window next to him and guessed the identity of the owner of the house based on the things placed inside. It was actually very good.
Guess, because there are only three servants in Zhaoyang Palace who are qualified to live in a room alone, namely Qi Kuan, Zhichun and Jinping. In the middle is Qi Kuan, Jinping on the left, and Zhichun on the right.
Yongyan pushed the door open and said, "Third sister, the door is unlocked. Let's go and take it out."
Hejia nodded, and after picking up the bamboo dragonfly, she suddenly said: "Look at my memory, how could I forget something like that? That one is more fun than the bamboo dragonfly."
Yongyan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "What is it?"
"That thing is called diabolo. It uses two small wooden sticks to tie a thread. As long as the thread is wrapped around the wooden shaft and shakes, it will make a nice sound."
Hearing this, Yongyan could not hold back and pestered He Jia to get it for him to play with. He Jia agreed. However, when he was going down the steps, he accidentally slipped and He Jia sat on the steps.
He frowned and said: "My feet hurt so much. I'm afraid I won't be able to walk for a while. Why don't you go to Kuai Xuexuan to get it yourself? There's not much way to go from here. Just tell the palace people about diabolo and they will find it."
for you."
Yongyan was in high spirits at the moment and immediately said, "Well, I'll go by myself. Third sister, wait for me here." After saying this, he immediately ran out on his short legs.
After Yongyan ran out of sight, Hejia, who should have been in too much pain to walk, stood up as if nothing had happened and hurried to Zhichun's house.
She slipped on purpose so that she could have an excuse to push Yongyan away. She also deliberately threw the bamboo dragonfly inside while Yongyan wasn't paying attention, in order to trick Yongyan into knowing which room Zhichun lived in.
Room.
After closing the door, she began to search around the house, trying to find evidence that Zhichun had framed E Niang. She was very careful, and after looking at everything, she put it back intact to avoid being discovered by Zhichun.
The house was not big, so I searched it all over quickly, but the result was disappointing to Hejia. After looking around, I didn't find anything related to the two witch dolls, not even a needle. It seemed like this
A trip is a waste of time.
Taking advantage of the fact that Yongyan hadn't come back yet, she went to Qi Kuan and Jin Ping's house next door to search again, but still found nothing.
Damn it, are there really no clues left?
When Hejia was sulking and about to close the cabinet door, she unexpectedly saw that a piece of clothing in the innermost part of the cabinet seemed to have a crack in the lower end. After taking the clothing out, she discovered that it was not cracked, but a piece was missing.
Judging from the fracture, it looks like it was torn off by a human being!
