3 Relentless
Gan was already in a good mood, but when he heard his daughter say this, he smiled so much that flowers could bloom on his face: "After Feng'er comes, you must respect him and get along with him." β
Liu Yan nodded: "Follow her mother's instructions, my daughter and sister will listen to my brother and respect my brother just like I respect my father and mother." β
The second half of the sentence was deliberately added by Liu Yan, and the meaning is only known to her. It's impossible to respect your parents! Not to mention that within two years of this brother's arrival, the mother will have a son, and Liu Feng will be demoted from a stepson to a righteous son.
Shan said that she remembered deeply that her father was the queen when she entered Shu, and the crown prince was her younger brother Liu Chan, but Liu Feng was never heard from again. The person who has such a short service life and will be cannon fodder immediately will not help the fate of himself and his sister at all, so why do you respect him?
It can be said that Liu Yan is full of satisfaction at this time, planning for the future of herself and her sister, knowing that time is running out, she can't help but force herself to think about everything more directly and one-lined.
Mrs. Mi, who was sitting on the side but was ignored, looked at the mother and daughter over there, a pair of jade hands were tightly clasped, and her knuckles were a little white, but she still maintained a stiff smile: "Yan'er is really good at talking, coaxing my sister's heart to bloom, Yan'er is not afraid that after your brother comes, my sister won't hurt you?"
Liu Yan's heart was completely stung by these words, and the blood on her face faded. Yes, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that what I've experienced will inevitably happen again, and that those pains, if I go through them again, will only be more painful and terrible than the first time.
Compared with Liu Yan's reaction, Liu Qiao on the side spoke directly: "Mother won't love us, we are very well-behaved!
Liu Qiao said unintentionally, but he woke up Liu Yan at a critical time. You can't lose your temper in this place, in case your mother sees the clues, it's bad. Fortunately, I have a little sister by my side, and when it matters most, my little sister is always by my side.
The process of psychological struggle was only a moment, and in Gan's eyes, her daughter was just stunned. Liu Yan lowered her head and whispered: "If my mother has an elder brother, she has both children and daughters. Most blessed. β
"Sister, listen to what Yan'er said, Feng'er is here, you and I have a son. Gan quietly blocked Mrs. Mi's next words, and then said to the eldest daughter with a smile: "Such a well-behaved and good daughter, how can you be a mother and not cherish it!"
At this time, Liu Yan was no longer sad or happy in her heart, the spiritual platform was clear, and her heart was peaceful.
This is a script that has long been familiar to me, and this is the status quo that has long been understood. It's just that when I heard this, I was happy for my mother in my heart, just like Qiao'er, happy that I had an older brother and my father had a son.
However, not anymore. The people in front of you are destined to be strangers. She sat respectfully, with her hands in her sleeves, and from Gan's point of view, her daughter's side face was always smiling.
"Yan'er, I heard that you have been locked in your room to study for the past few days, why do you want to study?" asked Gan. "It's just a pastime with nothing to do. Liu Yan replied softly. Liu Qiao quit: "My sister also reads when she eats, and she also reads before going to bed, and she doesn't play with Buckeye." β
"Girl's family, it's the right thing to learn more female workers, change Ming'er to your mother and find you a master. Gan frowned: "Reading too many books is not very useful." β
"Do as my mother tells me. Liu Yan stood up, walked up to Gan, and bowed. The corners of Gan's mouth tugged, and he felt that his daughter had suddenly become very polite in the past few days, which seemed to be a little disobedient.
However, this thought was only taken over by his son, who was about to come to Shinno. muttered to himself: "The person chosen by the husband...... I hope he is a humble and filial person. β
This sentence was so light that even Mrs. Mi, who was sitting next to Gan's, didn't listen carefully. However, Liu Yan heard it. took a deep breath: "Mother, my brother will be here in three days, presumably my mother and Mrs. still have a lot of things to do, so my sister and I will retire first." β
Gan's mind was full of sons, and he didn't notice Liu Yan's strangeness at all. Suddenly, I saw my daughter stand up, and I realized that I was distracted: "Oh, you guys go back to the room first." Liu Yan bowed to her mother and wife before taking her sister's hand and leaving Gan's house.
As soon as she got outside, her expression immediately fell, she regained her indifferent look, shook her sister's little hand, and became more determined in her heart to leave.
Three days later, his brother Liu Feng will come, which means that in three years, his younger brother Liu Chan will be born. The year after the birth of my younger brother will be the beginning of a nightmare for myself and my sister. In other words, I have less than four years to go.
In four years, counting the days can calculate the hours, and each day is one day less. However, although they have clear goals, they do not have specific plans and programs. How to go in the future, it is still like this blue sky, clear and cloudless, but also boundless.
Thinking about myself at that time, how much I longed for my mother's love, my mother could make me excited for a long time even if she just said a word of comfort, which was really stupid and naΓ―ve.
Thinking about it, feeling tears welling up, Liu Yan woke up suddenly, forcibly suppressed her feelings, and looked down at her sister who was smiling heartlessly: "What's so happy?"
"It's nothing, my mother is happy, my mother is happy, my sister is happy, right?" Liu Qiao looked up and replied. "Well, happy. Buckwheat is happy, and my sister is happy. Liu Yan squinted and raised her hand to cover her eyes, and the light between her fingers was not so dazzling: "The sun will come out in a while." β
Gan said that she wanted to find a needlework master for herself, but she probably didn't take it to heart and forgot about it. Liu Yan herself was obsessed, in her previous life, in order to please her mother, she specially learned needlework and embroidery. He also made a few small clothes for his younger brother Liu Chan on the orders of his mother.
Although this flattery turned out to be a joke, she actually learned the craft. Now, my mother had mentioned it, and looking at her young hands, she began to realize that it could be a means of earning a living. It's just that you can't let outsiders know.
In Liu Yan's memory, when they lived in Xinye, their family background was okay, and they did raise two weavers at home to make clothes for their female dependents. However, the most outstanding of them was a woman surnamed Zhou, from whom she learned her own craft.
Back in her house, Liu Yan immediately instructed the maid: "Go and invite the Weaver Niang Zhou." The maid was stunned: "Miss, what do you want to do with Weaver Niang?" Liu Yan wanted to glare at her, where was it the turn of the east family to question the west family?
However, when she thought that the maids around her were all selected by her mother one by one, her mother was suspicious, and she could only carry her out to speak. "Just now, my mother thought I read too much, so I was a girl. I know that Zhou's craft is the best, learn from her, and I should be able to learn from her soon. β
Liu Yan pretended to have hope: "When the time comes, I will be able to make clothes for my mother and sister, and my mother will be happy." The maid didn't suspect him, and turned to go out, but Liu Yan began to think about her thoughts.
Thanks to her mother, she remembered a means of making a living, and now it was the time of war, and the copper coins were depreciating so badly that except for gold, grain, and iron, only cloth could be used for trade.
Liu Yan deeply understood that although her father was in Jingzhou, the second richest city in the world, he was actually the poorest and weakest force in the world, and the gold and silver were basically spent when they got it, and there was no reserve at all. If she wants to take her sister to stand on her own, she can only rely on her own hands.
