Zhen Wanyi took the letter and folded it carefully, "Mother, the sixth brother has Brother Mu as a companion outside, and he will definitely take care of himself, if you don't worry, you can still prepare some things now, we will prepare some earth instruments for the great Confucian in East Lake, all of our hearts, and it can be regarded as a thank you for taking care of the sixth brother."

The fourth wife smiled with relief, "Wan'er will be twelve years old after the New Year, she is really sensible, and she knows how to help her mother make arrangements." ”

Zhen Wanyi pouted, "Mother, how can people be twelve years old, and they will only turn eleven in February next year, you have to be one year older." ”

The fourth lady laughed, "Eleven is not twelve years old, how can there be such a child, you have to say it when you are younger, you will have to say kiss in two years, how can it be so childish?"

Zhen Wanyi grabbed the fourth wife's arm like a fool, "If you don't say it, don't say it, my daughter will accompany her mother, so don't say kiss." ”

Zhen Xiujie was also very anxious after listening to the words of the fourth wife on the side, and shouted: "That's it, my sister has to stay at home, don't go anywhere, don't say kiss, don't say kiss." ”

Since Zhen Mingjie left, Zhen Xiujie was watched closely by the fourth master, and even the old lady paid more attention to him, every day he either read and practiced calligraphy or asked about his learning progress, but he was tired of him, and he could only relax when he was in Yunyi Building, every time he came, Zhen Wanyi always entertained him with good food and drink, never asked him about his studies, and often praised him for his intelligence, saying that he believed that he would definitely be admitted to Xiucai, and he could participate in the township examination with the sixth brother when the time came.

Even if he left his homework, he could still muster up his strength when he saw that his sister who was practicing calligraphy was so serious. That's why he didn't want his sister to say kiss, and the daughter who said he kissed would become a member of another family, like several sisters in the second room, who said that they would marry in less than a year, and then there were only so many opportunities to return home a year, and he didn't want his sister to do the same.

The fourth wife smiled happily on the side, and the fourth master quipped: "Then, if our sister Wan doesn't say kiss, Brother Xiu'er should remember to protect his sister, you know?"

Zhen Xiujie naturally nodded happily and glanced at Zhen Ruyi, "Seventh Sister doesn't say kiss, our family is together, and we will go to the capital in the future." ”

Zhen Ruyi stood aside with a smile, quiet and didn't say much, just nodded to this little brother to express her gratitude.

Zhen Wanyi leaned on the shoulders of the fourth wife, this is how it feels to have the care of her family, her heart is like a quiet sea, no matter how stormy it is outside, her family has held up a piece of sky for her, she only feels that the wind is beautiful, bright and peaceful.

This winter, the climate is extremely abnormal, there is not much snow, but it has been dark, the north wind is blowing loudly, not to mention the sick, even healthy people are difficult to go out in such weather. But Wei Niang, who had been sick on the bed since the beginning of winter, withstood the cold wind on the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month and let the maid help her into the Changkang Hospital. Zhen Wanyi didn't know what Wei Niang said to the old lady that day, it was estimated that the fourth lady knew, and later sighed when she talked about it: This Wei Niang, it's just that her mind is too heavy to look at.

That night, Wei Niang stayed in Changkang for less than an hour and was carried back, and a moment later Yu Fanglou sent someone to invite the doctor into the house, and it was not until the beginning that he settled down, and the doctor shook his head when he left, and Brother Xing took his sister to stay in front of the bed, and no one could pull it away. Wei Niang leaned on the pillow and looked at a pair of children until she cried and fainted.

The twelfth year of Kandi passed in the gloomy atmosphere of Zhen's Mansion, and before the New Year was over, early in the morning of the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, before dawn, Zhen Wanyi was woken up by Yingyue, "Miss Nine, Miss Nine, wake up, grandma has passed." ”

This sentence sounded in Zhen Wanyi's ears like a thunderbolt in the nine heavens, making her mind blank for a moment, and after a while, she grabbed Yingyue's hand and asked with a short breath, "What did you say?"

"Miss, get up quickly, the eldest grandmother is past three o'clock, and the eldest lady is helping the little funeral in Yufang Building. Mrs. Four, Miss Seven, and Aunt Xue also rushed over, so you can pack up and go to give grandma a ride. ”

Zhen Wanyi lifted the quilt, hurriedly put on her shoes, and with the help of Yingyue and Cherry, she changed into a plain winter coat and cotton skirt in the fastest time, and put on a thick dark cloak, and rushed to Yufang Building.

Zhen Wanyi's Yunyi Building is a little far away from Yu Fang Building, plus the small steps of people are also small, when Yu Fang Building is already full of people, the young ones are sitting silently in the bright room waiting, and the sad and decrepit cries come from the inner room.

The fourth lady wiped her tears while helping on the side of the couch, and saw Zhen Wanyi hurriedly retreating, pulling people back to the edge of the floor cover, "Why did you come here, this will help Wei Niang Xiaowu change clothes, you can't look at it, you are jealous of the dead, you won't forget, go and wait outside, it's also considered dedication." ”

Zhen Wanyi looked at Brother Xing who was kneeling in front of the couch, looking at the crying maids around her with an ignorant expression, her little hands were holding her young sister tightly, her immature face was full of fear and anxiety, the three-year-old little girl leaned on her brother's side, her mouth was tightly pursed, she wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, with tears in her eyes, what a distressing child.

Looking at the direction of the bed, Zhen Wanyi's heart was full of sadness and questions, such a pair of young and lovely children, Wei Niang, how can you be willing to leave it behind? Is there only the love of husband and wife in your world? Is only your own feelings in your world the most important? Now that you have ended your pain and left without worry, what will your children do? Who will take care of them as carefully as you do? Who will care about how they are doing? Who will ask them what they want? How can you bear it?

I don't know why, Zhen Wanyi's tears flowed down uncontrollably, she seemed to see her young self, no one cared, except for an aunt who cooked for her, the rest of the time she was accompanied by a bunch of toys, no shush for warmth, no playground company, no parent-teacher meeting, she had never been to all the occasions where her parents would appear, she had always been in her quiet world, she was also a child abandoned by her parents.

The fourth wife's tears couldn't stop flowing, "Oh, you stupid boy, why are you crying like this, you can't make a sound, stop it quickly, let's go outside." After speaking, he pulled Zhen Wanyi out of the inner room.

Cherry also hurriedly came out, pouring water and taking a pestle to place Zhen Wanyi. Zhen Wanyi seemed to have found an outlet, and cried quietly in her own world, even with several other brothers and sisters, and at this moment, Yu Fanglou was crying miserably inside and out.
