He Linwan woke up from the stinging pain on her face, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a child with a round head, round brain, round arms and round legs staring at her with bulging eyes, and the hand that had done something bad had not yet had time to be put down.

The candle on the shadow blue candlestick on the low cabinet against the wall was only a thumb-length section, and the orange candle flame jumped and jumped, half-concealing and half-concealing the silence of the room.

He Lin drank medicine before going to bed late, and had slept for less than two hours, and before he woke up, the child was sitting at the head of her bed with the light on his back, so that he could not see his face clearly.

He Linwan didn't think much about it, he half sat up and took the child in his arms, patted him on the back and asked softly, "What's wrong with Brother Jie?"

The child in her arms stiffened, and then suddenly punched and kicked violently, He Linwan suffered several blows on her body, the pain made her quickly wake up, she looked down at the appearance of the child in her arms, her arms couldn't help but let go, the child seized the opportunity to break free, crawled to the end of the bed, and stared at her very guardedly.

He Linwan looked at the eyes of the little beast that were still radiant in the dim light, and was stunned for a while, then sighed, slowed down and asked, "Big Huzi, why are you here?"

Da Huzi turned his head angrily and gave He Linwan a back of the head.

He Linwan couldn't help but smile, but his eyes dimmed.

The reason why she mistook Dahuzi for Brother Jie was because she had just dreamed again, in the dream she was not He Linwan but Yang Weizhen, her four-year-old brother Yang Chengjie liked her the most, and always asked her to coax her to sleep. Although his mother said that boys can't get used to it, because Cheng Jie is the youngest brother and has always been well-behaved and obedient, He Linwan is still willing to spoil him more.

Later, the Yang family suddenly suffered a disaster and was convicted. My grandfather and father died of illness on the way to distribution.

The daughters of the Yang family didn't want to become official prostitutes, and her grandmother, mother, aunts, and sisters ended their lives with three feet of white silk. Her cousin rescued her and fled with her and her younger brother. She was already in poor health, but the death of her relatives left her grief-stricken, and she finally fell ill and died on the way to escape.

didn't want to open her eyes again, but she became Miss He Linwan of the He family.

He Linwan lowered his eyes and didn't speak, but Xiaohuzi didn't want to be ignored, so he secretly crawled over and kicked He Linwan, and then quickly climbed to the end of the bed, looking at her defiantly and vigilantly.

Xiaohuzi is He Linwan's younger brother, the only son of the He family's third room, and is four years old this year.

Before Xiaohuzi was born, there was only one daughter in the third room of the He family, and the third grandmother Wei naturally put all her energy on her daughter, and when He Linwan grew up to six years old, Wei finally got a son. It's a pity that when Xiaohuzi was more than a year old, he suddenly got a serious illness, but after he got better, he couldn't speak, and the little child became mute.

Wei felt sorry for his son, so he naturally felt a little more partial on weekdays, and ignored He Linwan, the eldest daughter. He Lin is not very old, and he is inevitably a little jealous of his younger brother, and it is estimated that he bullied her brother a lot when he was carrying an adult behind his back, so the person Xiaohuzi hates the most is his sister.

In the past, if Xiaohuzi was dancing at He Linwan, the final result would definitely be cleaned up, even if it was a girl, He Linwan was also born in a family of military generals, she didn't like to learn her mother's style of a family girl since she was a child, but liked to fight and climb trees with her cousins, and her temperament was very wild.

However, Xiaohuzi recently found that his sister has become a bully, and she will not fight back when she hits her, kicks her, bites her, and bites her, so Xiaohuzi will take revenge as long as he has the opportunity.

At this time, the nurse who was on night duty outside heard the movement and walked in, and asked cautiously, "Is the big girl awake?"

He Linwan nodded: "Why is Xiaohuzi here?

The nurse hurriedly said: "It was the third grandmother who asked the slave maid to send the sixth young master, and Chunxiao and the other maids and women in the courtyard followed the third grandmother to Mingde Hall." ”

He Linwan couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard this.

I heard that the Detang is a place where the He family deals with major matters, and it is not opened much on weekdays, as long as it is opened, it will definitely see blood. It's almost the third watch at this time, what are the three grandmothers and the maids in the courtyard going to Mingde Hall for?

"But what happened?"

The nurse was also worried at this time, she didn't dare to talk much, but she was very afraid of this big girl who had a bad temperament and could pick up a big table with one hand, and when she saw her looking at herself, she could only tremble and say as vaguely as possible: "Mrs. Tai said that there was something to announce, and she called everyone over, and the slave didn't know what was going on." ”

He Linwan knew that the nurse didn't want to say it, so she didn't force it anymore.

The little tiger is young, just alive and vigorous, at this time he hugged the pillar at the end of the bed and dozed off, the nurse went over to put him to sleep, and then looked at He Linwan, hesitating and not daring to put the sleeping little tiger to He Linwan's side.

He Linwan let in: "Put it here." ”

The nurse then put the little tiger next to He Linwan according to her words.

Xiaohuzi was not in good health for the first two years after he was born, and after that serious illness, he changed his name and really made a living, and now he is very energetic every day. It's just that he didn't want to be honest when he fell asleep, and he didn't know what he dreamed of, so he pouted, and then slapped He Linwan on the head.

The nurse was so frightened that her face turned white, for fear that He Lin would hit the child if she had a late seizure. She definitely couldn't stop He Linwan, but she had to take responsibility for the accident.

But He Linwan didn't react at all, just pulled the thin quilt and gently put it on Xiaohuzi's stomach.

The nurse looked at He Linwan's gaze with a terrifying look.

He Linwan looked at her grandmother and knew what she was thinking, so she whispered: "When my mother comes back, do you remember to tell her that I didn't bully my younger brother and ask her not to ban my feet anymore?"

The nurse immediately understood, and she said that the eldest girl suddenly changed her temperament, and it turned out that she was afraid of her wife.

A while ago, He Linwan tricked Xiaohuzi into climbing a tree with her, causing the child to almost fall off the book, which made the third grandmother angry and banned her feet. He Linwan has been suffocating in the yard for more than a month, and she has been so bored that she has a small illness, but the third grandmother is determined to rectify her this time, and she refuses to let her go out.

The nurse nodded hurriedly: "The slave knows." ”

He Linwan was about to send the nurse to sleep, when he suddenly heard a faint noise.

Although it was still early summer, the night was a little hot, and the south window in the east room where He Lin slept late was open, and the window was only covered with a layer of anti-mosquito silk veil, and even the sound from a long distance could be heard in the dead of night.

He Linwan heard that there were many people crying and begging for mercy.

In the middle of the night, this kind of crying couldn't help but make people feel creepy, and He Linwan's heart was filled with a coldness.

"It's cold at night, go and close the windows. He Lin paused lately, and lay down as if he hadn't heard anything.

The nurse was timid, so frightened that she stood there trembling, and when she heard He Linwan's order, she ran over to close the window tremblingly.

As soon as the window closed, the sound outside was much quieter. Mingde Hall was not close to the courtyard where they lived.

Xiaohuzi frowned in her sleep, approached He Linwan with some uneasiness, turned over and hugged one of her arms. He Linwan looked down at the innocent little tiger who was sleeping, and gently patted his back to comfort him.

The nurse didn't dare to live outside by herself, so she simply made a bunk under He Linwan's bed.

Later, He Linwan also fell asleep, and after I don't know how long, she heard someone whispering in the room in a daze, and there was a noise around her, and her arm was pulled a little, and she was immediately hugged again.

A gentle female voice said: "That's it, let Huzi sleep here today, it's rare to see their sister and brother close." ”

Soon there was silence in the east, the only candle in the room was extinguished, and He Linwan fell asleep again.

Early the next morning, when He Lin woke up late, Xiaohuzi was no longer in bed, and her eldest maid Chunxiao and Mama Li in Wei's room were talking quietly in the second room next door.

He Yong, the old lady of the He family, is a military general who followed Emperor Taizu to fight the world, Taizu won the world's meritorious deeds when He Yong was awarded Cheng Enhou, Cheng Enhou Mansion was also rewarded at that time, after He Yong died, the third son He Chuanwu and other Cheng Jue became Cheng Enbo, the court did not take back the Hou Mansion, but changed the plaque in front of the house to Cheng Enbo Mansion, and still let the He family live.

The two-entry courtyard where the He family lives in three rooms is called the West Courtyard.

Originally, Cheng Enbo meant to let his sons write a more elegant name to the courtyard where they lived to fill the façade, but unfortunately the third He Guangli was wooden, and there was no ink in his stomach at all.

There are five main rooms in the west courtyard, He Guanglie and his wife Wei live in the west room, and the nurse takes the little tiger to live in the west room. He Linwan should have gone to live in the wing room two years ago, but he had been staying in the east of the main house for a while and refused to move out, and Wei really didn't want her to leave her for the time being.

“...... The eldest lady was punished by the lady to go to the Buddhist hall to think about it, what should I do with the big and small things in this house in the future? Chunxiao sighed.

Mama Li lowered her voice and said sternly: "Don't talk nonsense, there are so many masters in the house, are you still worried that there is no one to take care of? You also saw the fate of those people yesterday, and you have to be careful in what you say and do in the future, otherwise you will lose your life and cause trouble to your master. ”

Chunxiao seemed to be frightened by yesterday's events, and said half-loudly: "I know Auntie, don't I see that there are no outsiders here." Last night really scared me, Qiu Hong in Siqin Courtyard was standing next to me at the time, and I was so scared when I saw her. It's really a fairy fight, and the little ghost suffers. ”

Mama Li sighed, and her tone softened a lot: "Don't be afraid, our third grandmother is not a competitive character, she has always been kind to others, and no matter how much trouble the master above, he shouldn't be able to trouble us." ”

Chunxiao muttered in a low voice: "That's not for sure, Mrs. Tai has always disliked our three rooms, and now that the eldest lady has gone to the ancestral hall again, there will be no one to help talk in the future." ”
