The day before the winter solstice, Yan Jingxiang came to find Hanyu.

"Sister Hanyu, look at you! Your balm is so good, these days I have done what Sister Hanyu said, and the cocoon on my hand has disappeared. ”

Yan Jingxiang spread out her slender and white hands, and whispered against Hanyu, "Sister Hanyu, is this balm made by Mama Hong not available for sale outside?"

Yan Hanyu nodded, "Mama Hong was originally a Chinese medicine maid in the palace, serving the nobles in the palace, so she naturally has some things that she can handle, and these recipes for beauty are all figured out by herself." ”

"In this way, Mama Hong's ability is definitely not small, and Sister Hanyu really has a treasure. Yan Jingxiang held her cheeks, "If this thing is sold, I don't know how much silver it will be worth?"

"I see that you are very interested in silver, why don't you follow the second uncle and learn to be a housekeeper?"

"I don't want to follow my mother, I'm the stupidest in her eyes, I can't do this well, I can't do that, follow her, I will definitely be tortured to death by her." ”

"Talking nonsense!" Yan Hanyu scolded lightly, "Don't put that word on your lips! You are mother and daughter in the end, and there is no lifelong mother-daughter feud." ”

Just like her resentment towards her mother in her previous life, it seems that she has made a lifelong hatred, and at the same time regrets her life.

"My mother is too partial! How can she treat her two younger brothers like she did with me? How can she ever scold her two younger brothers? Even if I usually speak louder, I will scold her. Yan Jingxiang said that there was a stomach full of complaints, "Jinxuan is a lot of Tao, climbs trees and climbs over walls, and spills savagely, but my mother has never scolded him loudly." Even when I was in charge of Jinxuan, my mother would only say that mine was not. She clearly only likes her brother and doesn't like me. ”

"Shizuka, don't think too much. ”

Shizuka said nonchalantly, "I don't want to, I don't care anymore, what do I want to do!"

Yan Hanyu looked at Shizuka, there was a look of longing in her eyes, her words of not caring were just resentment in her heart, Shizuka was obviously still praying that her second uncle and mother could also be a loving mother to her and Yan Yuese. But over the years, the second uncle's temperament has become more and more competitive, just thinking about letting Shizuka be a famous lady quietly, not so jumpy, not so naïve.

The knot between their mother and daughter has long been knotted in circles and circles, which cannot be untied and difficult to dissolve.

is as lively as Shizuka, because of the favor given to her by Mrs. Lu.

is as domineering as the Lu family, because of the smooth progress in the Yan family over the years.

"Sister Hanyu, don't talk about my mother. You don't know, Aunt Qiu, that fox, doesn't know what tricks she used, so my father went to her yard all day long, ignoring us. ”

Kitsune?

"Kitsune, who do you want to learn from?"

Yan Jingxiang stuck out her tongue, "I heard it secretly when my mother spoke." ”

"Don't say this in front of your mother, be careful that your mother will reprimand you again. ”

"I said in front of Sister Hanyu, even if I said it on my mother's side, it was nothing, it was just a couple of scoldings. But this fox is really aptly described, I read the book said that the fox is the most cunning, the most pitiful and sympathetic. Just look at Aunt Qiu's appearance, my mother blames Aunt Qiu, Aunt Qiu only needs to put on a posture of bending her knees and being obedient, when did my father not speak for Aunt Qiu? They also quarreled for Aunt Qiu. My father also said that whatever Aunt Qiu said came out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my mother couldn't deceive people too much. In short, since Aunt Qiu came to our house, my father doesn't talk to me much, my father used to ask Rong Xuan about his homework, and often went to see Jinxuan, but now he is an old man, that woman is pregnant, and she almost has to offer her up, so she almost takes her as a wife. ”

"Aunt Qiu usually behaves inappropriately?"

"This ...... I don't see it. I just don't like her, sometimes I hold a shelf, and I think I'm the daughter of a famous family! I play the piano all day long, write, and hang my own paintings in my father's study, I really think I'm a talented girl with both talent and beauty! I can't compare to our sister Hanyu!"

The relationship between Aunt Qiu and the Lu family, Yan Hanyu only heard that it was a distant cousin, but she didn't know much about it. Knowing how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, that should be an excellent upbringing.

"What does Aunt Qiu have to do with the Lu family, do you know?"

"I know, it seems to be the daughter of Lu Xiangye's sister-in-law, Lu Xiangye has a little sister-in-law who eloped with the family in the past, and the Lu family said that the sister-in-law was dead in order to cover up the ugliness, and no one even chased it back. Later, they were exiled and then gave birth to a daughter, but Lu Xiang's sister was a young lady after all, and she was not used to living a hard life outside, and her health was getting worse and worse, so she sent Aunt Qiu to Bianjing before she died, begging Lu Xiangye to take care of one or two. This Qiu Niang, whatever she said about the distant cousins of the Lu family, in fact, was to cover up her identity. ”

Yan Hanyu was shocked, "This is a true thing? If it is true, it should also be a secret, right? How would you know?" "Who would want to let this matter be leaked to outsiders about eloping with the family?"

"Hehe, eavesdropping on my mother's voice and hearing it. My mother asked people to check, after all, when they said it to the Lu family, it was also unclear, and they didn't say which cousin Aunt Qiu was, my mother was puzzled, so she sent someone to investigate secretly, and it took a year to find out about it. ”

Yan Hanyu was still pondering about this, and heard Yan Jingxiang say again, "Sister, there is one more thing I almost forgot to say." My mother is preparing for the ceremony, and Uncle Jiutang is ready to get married after the New Year. My mother said that she would take us to the third uncle's grandfather's house to congratulate us. ”

Nine cousins get married?

"Who are you marrying?"

After coming back for so long, there were too many things, and she actually forgot about Uncle Jiutang.

"The lady of the Guo family. ”

turned around, and in the end he married the wife of the Guo family.

Yan Hanyu asked people to inquire about Dr. Mu in Xinglin Medical Hall as soon as possible.

When I was in Jinling, I heard Guo Qing say something, but I only heard that Dr. Mu was going to be beheaded by the Queen of the Autumn, and now this day has already passed, and I don't know if Dr. Mu is alive or dead, as well as agarwood, and I don't know where he is.

With the same fate, Yan Hanyu thought of suggesting that her grandfather serve as the secretary of the military department, and suddenly felt a little afraid, was it right or wrong for her to suggest the post?

Tossing and turning, thinking about it, she still feels that she is right, what ending is more tragic than the destruction of her family?

The fate of the Nine Cousins does not represent their fate.

Winter is the winter solstice.

On the winter solstice in November, Bianjing attaches the most importance to this solar term, even the poorest people, in a year, they must use all the savings of the family, even if it is a loan, to this day they must add new clothes, buy food, and worship the ancestors.

The day of the winter solstice is called the Asian year, the Asian year is auspicious, the performance is long, and every household celebrates enthusiastically, just like the New Year.

In previous years, as soon as the winter solstice arrived, Yan Hanyu began to use charcoal fire to build a stove, and he was afraid of the cold. This year is different, she is not as afraid of the cold as before. (To be continued.) )
