After Xia Nan finished speaking, he went back to his yard. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Not long after she left, the items that had been taken away by the Li family were returned one by one, along with a few items attached.

Yuan'er looked at these items that were sent back, and couldn't help but practice and admire, "Sister, you are really amazing, you really let the third lady return the things untouched!" But the maid is curious, how do you know that there is evil in the third lady's house? ”

Hearing her words, Xia Nan was just a fool.

"I remember that, or you told me."

Yuan'er's eyes widened, "What did I tell you?" When did she say those words?

Xia Nan didn't intend to explain, so he took out a gem-inlaid phoenix butterfly gilt hairpin from the box and looked at it carefully.

Yuan'er was thinking hard, and suddenly her eyes moved!

She remembered!

Just now she once told her sister that the third lady always said that she was not feeling well, and she often stayed in the yard and did not often interact with people, but she didn't expect her sister to remember it like this, and for this reason, she said that there was evil in the third lady's house, and the third lady was stunned, and she didn't hurt her face, but she took the things back.

As for her sister's eloquent mouth, she was also stunned for a moment, and the mandarin mandarin who figured it out looked at Xia Nan with a little strangeness in her eyes.

The gem-inlaid phoenix butterfly gilt hairpin is finely made, very good-looking, and falls in Xia Nan's hands, as if it is matched with mutton fat and white jade, which is incomparably brilliant and dazzling.

Mandarin looked at it and inadvertently expressed the doubts in her heart.

"Sister, the people in the house say that you come from the countryside in an unknown place, and you do a lot of rough work, but how can you have such white and delicate hands, but what way can you teach your maid?"

After Yuan'er said this, she still looked at Xia Nan with a pair of big watery eyes.

Pian Ruo glared at the mandarin duck again.

"Presumptuous, my sister is a noble status, do you talk like this?"

Speaking of this, Xia Nan put down the golden hairpin in his hand, and his eyes fell on his hand.

In the past, when I was in Ningxiang, I was really used to doing rough work, and it was dark and rough, but later, Mama Jiang was blind, and every time I was with her again, I couldn't see her appearance, so I could only stroke it with her hand.

Xia Nan clearly remembered that Mama Jiang's hands were warm and delicate, although she was old, but her hands were very well maintained, and later, she saw that Xia Nan's hands were so rough at a young age, and she couldn't bear it, so she told her how to maintain her hands.

Xia Nan raised her eyes and looked at the nervous and excited eyes of the mandarin duck.

"What's the way, if you're lazy, you can't hurt yourself."

After Xia Nan finished speaking, a trace of loss was clearly visible in Yuan'er's eyes. Immediately afterwards, Xia Nan suddenly picked up the golden hairpin that was resting on the table and stuffed it into Pianruo's hand.

"It's been hard for you to manage this yard these days."

Pianruo took the golden hairpin, said a word of thanks and accepted it.

When Yuan'er saw Xia Nan give this golden hairpin to Pianruo, her eyes widened, this golden hairpin! It's worth a year's worth of their monthly money! Miss just gave it to Pianruo!

What about her, what about her!

Yuan'er didn't listen to the prayers in her heart, but Xia Nan didn't have the slightest next move, which made her anxious.

Xia Nan then explained to Pianruo, asked people to put these returned things back in their places, and took some small items and asked her to distribute them to the maid in the yard, as a reward these days, but Yuan'er was in front of her, she waited for a full half an hour, and still didn't see Xia Nan mention her!

The mandarin duck was so angry that she was about to blow up her beard.

Finally, Xia Nan seemed to remember her as a person, and spoke slowly.

"Mandarin mandarin, it's just right, I have something to reward you."

When Mandarin was mentioned, her eyes lit up, and the joy in her eyes was self-evident.

I saw Xia Nan clapping his hands, took out a piece of brocade from the cuff, and opened it to see a piece lying down, boxy, neatly placed, and embroidered with a delicate lotus flower at the opposite corner.

Xia Nan handed the brocade to Yuan'er, "This brocade is embroidered with good silk thread, I see that you are very arrogant all day long, and there is nothing to wipe when you go out, this is the most suitable for you." ”

Yuan'er looked at the Jinpa in her hand, her eyes widened, and she could only thank Xia Nan with the corners of her lips stiff.

After receiving it, he went out of Xiyan Pavilion.

It's just that Yuan'er's eyebrows are about to be pulled together, and her hands are even more stubbornly holding Jinpa.

In my heart, I slandered, "Who wants you this handkerchief!" A rag, what can it be for! ”

She obviously saw that Xia Nan gave Pianruo a lot of golden hairpins and silver hairpins to be distributed to the maids below, she was happy that Pianruo was right, but her identity was there, the reward of the big girl must be the best, she couldn't deny it, but why didn't those golden hairpins and silver hairpins have her share, and those shiny things didn't have her share, such a rag could be worth a few dollars!

The mandarin man was so angry that his head was about to smoke, so he could only kick the tree in hatred and leave the yard in a suffocated manner.

After Yuan'er left, Pianruo looked at Xia Nan's indifferent eyebrows, struggled, and still spoke.

"Sister, it's not that the maid says bad things about the mandarin mandarin, it's just ...... Why did you let her go like this, a few days ago, I saw that she was still talking and laughing with Lingyuan's Ruexiang, aren't you afraid of ...... "Mandarin Girl betrayed you?"

Pian Ruo's words didn't come out loud, but Xia Nan understood what she meant.

Xia Nan didn't answer Pianruo's words.

There are some things that she knows in her heart.

Repulsing Pianruo, she took a nap.

But she didn't know that today's Miss Biao has become a topic of conversation among everyone in the Hou Mansion.

Miss Cousin returned home for only half a month, and then returned to live in Xiaweihou's Mansion, why is this? Is it that the family over there in Jiangnan does not welcome this Miss Cousin? Or does Ji really miss Miss Biao very much?

When the news reached the ears of Die Cuixuan, Xia Xian was still indifferent, and Xia Luo was delighted.

"Sister Nan is really back?"

The little maid at the bottom nodded hurriedly.

"It's true, I just went to the courtyard of my wife, and it is said that I gave some kind of gift."

"Gift-giving?" As soon as these words came out, even Xia Xian couldn't help but ask questions.

If she remembers correctly, her mother was extremely disgusted with Xia Nan before, and Xia Nan did not give gifts to her mother.

"Well, the slave maid heard that Miss Biao sent more than a dozen pots of wormwood, and it is said that she also helped Mrs. look at feng shui."

The little maid told the story before and after, including the fact that Xia Nan was not there before, and the third lady went to her yard to move a lot of things.

Hearing this, Xia Xian just rubbed her forehead.

She, the mother, didn't know that she had been sold.

She just listened to what the maid said and knew Xia Nan's intentions, but the Li family was deceived like this.

This matter is clear at a glance, and I don't know how the little maid below will arrange the Li family.

"Don't chew on these things, be careful!"

The little girl at the bottom pursed her lips, for fear that the root of her tongue would really fall off.

The methods of the fifth young lady, they have all seen it.

When Xia Luo heard this, he silently fiddled with the silk cloth in his hand.

Since her mother knew that her second sister had been learning Suzhou embroidery, she asked them to learn it too, saying that it was to not lose to others.

The two sisters were hindered by her crying, so they could only respond.

For the Li family, Xia Xian Xia Luo is more helpless.

Xia Ying's ceremony was in March, at this time she was practicing Suzhou embroidery, her beautiful eyes were staring, her expression was serious, and she embroidered a pair of butterfly flowers on silk cloth with a needle and a thread.

At this moment, Su Shi was sitting beside her, and when he saw her appearance, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows couldn't help revealing a little tenderness.

Su Shi waited for her to embroider the silk cloth in her hand before speaking.

"Sister Ying, your ceremony is almost here, your grandmother has invited the Duchess of Dingguo to be your guest, and the company is Mrs. Bai, she is my close friend, and her character is not to be said, the status of these two ladies is not ordinary, very few people invite you, you see that your grandmother cares about you."

Su Shi is extremely satisfied, what kind of woman is the Duchess of Dingguo, who has a very high reputation in Beijing, and many families asked her to insert hairpins for the girl, but she did not agree. If she inserts a hairpin for Xia Ying, Xia Ying will undoubtedly have the most momentum this time, which is only available to the concubines of Xia Weihou's mansion......

And although Madame Bai's reputation is not as loud as that of the Duchess of Dingguo, she is also her close friend, and she was also a talented woman in Beijing when she was young, how could it be bad?

"What about the Praisers?" For the two ladies, Xia Ying is very satisfied, but she is more curious about who is her praiser.

"This depends on your own wishes, but I think the old lady means that she seems to want Sister Nan to be your praiser, but in the end, you have to have the final say."

Hearing this, Xia Ying's eyebrows frowned, and a touch of disgust crossed her beautiful eyes, which was then erased by her.

"Then she."

She wants her to see how she transforms, and then marries the prince of Wei Guo in the most beautiful appearance.

At noon, the entire Hou Mansion was extremely quiet, and the Ling Garden, located in the east, was even quieter.

There were only two or three maids in the huge courtyard, and the two mothers-in-law were leaning against the door and sleeping soundly, and the maids were also hanging their heads and dozing.

The outer courtyard is deserted, and the inner house is more peaceful.

The house was cleaned neatly and cleanly, and there were not many furnishings, just a few flowers were simply made to decorate the house, and the rest was tidy.

There was nothing but the deep and shallow breathing of a woman in the room, and nothing else.

Suddenly, I saw that the originally closed door was suddenly pushed open a small gap, and a black eye poked in, dripping and turning a few times, and finally landed on the undulating figure on the bed, and after making sure that it was asleep, he crept in.

I saw Xia Xin walk to the desk in the room familiarly, pick up the things placed on the table lightly, and then put them down again, as if she was looking for something.

Suddenly, Xia Xin's eyes lit up, and her gaze fell tightly on the letter that was pressed at the bottom.

She couldn't wait to open the letter, but before she could read it, she heard a soft voice calling her name.

"Xin'er."

Xia Xin's body stiffened, and as soon as she turned around, she saw Aunt Fang, who had sat up straight, looking at her.

Xia Xin felt like she was being grabbed for a moment, but then she threw the letter back on the table and hurriedly stepped forward to help Aunt Fang up.

"Mother."

Aunt Fang walked to the desk, and when she saw what she had moved, her eyes instantly cooled.

"Didn't I tell you not to touch those things?!"

Her eyes were sharp, and Xia Xin lowered her head when she saw it.

"I don't want to see this kind of thing a second time."

Aunt Fang was sharp, not angry and arrogant.

Xia Xin lowered her head, her eyes inadvertently fell on Aunt Fang's lower abdomen, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist.

"Mother...... Why didn't you let me contact the Fang family, now the Li family has been bullying people, constantly reducing the rations in our yard, and even deducting them, you have endured all this, but what did you get in exchange? In exchange for the result that she has cut off all of our contact with the outside world? You are pregnant now, but you are thin like this, if your grandfather knows what you look like now, he still doesn't know what it will be like to feel distressed?! ”

Hearing this, Aunt Fang's heart also trembled, and she subconsciously stroked her stomach.

It has been almost four months since she was pregnant, but her belly still does not have much curvature.

Since the Sanfang Li family knew that she was pregnant, they regarded her as a thorn in their side, and sent people to watch Lingyuan all the time, and the meals given were even more pitiful, if it wasn't for the child in her belly, I was afraid that she would no longer be in the Hou Mansion.

Aunt Fang shook her head at her.

"The Fang clan is just a merchant, even if your grandfather knows, what can you do? I volunteered to follow your father back then, and even though I am suffering now, I am willing. ”

"But I'm reluctant!"

Xia Xin had tears in her eyes.

"Mother, you are just an aunt, and I am just a concubine born by an aunt, he is born a younger brother in your belly, and he is only a concubine, never as good as a single hair in the main house, the main house wants us to live in life, and die in death, are you willing? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your younger brother, when he grew up, he was crowned with the reputation of a concubine, and he was crushed by others all his life, are you willing? ”

Xia Xin burst into tears when she spoke, but Aunt Fang's face remained indifferent, but she was a little pity when she looked at her.

I only heard her sigh faintly, "Who said I didn't have it, silly boy, now is not the time." ”

Not the time yet?

Xia Xin didn't understand.

Aunt Fang stroked her head.

"As much as we suffer now, he will be able to gain so much in the future."

Seeing that Xia Xin didn't know why, Aunt Fang called Rue Xiang in.

Yun Xian respectfully saluted Aunt Fang, looked at Xia Xin with red eyes on the side, and said.

"Back to my aunt, sister's words, a few days ago, Miss Cousin left Beijing, and the third lady did not take things away from her room, Miss Cousin returned to Beijing yesterday, and today she brought people forward, I don't know what method she used, so she brought things back."

Hearing this, Xia Xin's eyes flashed with a touch of strangeness and looked at Aunt Fang.

The latter caressed his lower abdomen, and a faint smile appeared on his face, which made his bright face softer and softer.

"Xin'er, you remember, even if you are imprisoned, you can still know about the outside world. Money can make ghosts grind, but we don't make ghosts, but make people. ”

Make it is.
