On this day, Qiu Ci was doing embroidery work with Mei Kexin in the house, and a maid hurriedly came in with a letter.

"Madam, it's my uncle's letter." Daylily took the letter and glanced at it, and immediately became happy.

Mei Kexin was stunned for a moment, and then reacted.

She quickly stopped the female red in her hand and reached out to take the letter.

"Show it to me." She said.

Mei Kexin's eldest brother Mei Yuanhao was dispatched to Yunnan to guard, this year is the third year, and the brother and sister have not seen each other for three years, fortunately, Mei Yuanhao will still write back every year to inform him of his current situation.

"I haven't seen you for three years, and I'll see what your uncle has said." Mei Kexin's tone couldn't wait, but her movements were so cautious, as if she was afraid of breaking the letter.

Qiu Ji watched carefully from the side, and she could feel Mei Kexin's excitement.

Mei Kexin finally opened the envelope, she took the letter in her hand and read it for a while, and said happily, "Your uncle said that he will return to Beijing for the Chinese New Year this year to report on work, and we can finally meet." ”

After a pause, she sighed to Qiu Ci again, "It's still the blessing of the Duke of Zhenguo, the border is now stable, and your uncle has a rare flaw, so he can leave with peace of mind for a while." ”

Originally, the border was inseparable from people all year round, but since the beginning of the year, Zhen Guogong left, he repelled the Jin soldiers on the border several times, so that they did not dare to make another attempt in a short period of time, so this gave Mei Yuanhao a chance to breathe.

Qiu Ci was also quite curious, she had never seen this uncle, and she didn't know what he looked like.

But in Mei Kexin's usual words, she knew that this uncle should love her very much.

"That's great." Qiu Ci smiled very cooperatively, "Mother, can we see my uncle during the Chinese New Year?" ”

Mei Kexin nodded, "Of course, do you remember when you were younger?" Every time my sister takes you home, you love to stick to your uncle. ”

Mei Kexin's sister refers to Mei Keyi, the biological mother of Qiu Ci.

At that time, Mei Kexin was still a little girl, Mei Keyi took Qiu Ci back to her parents' house, Mei Yuanhao always let Qiu Ci ride on her shoulders and ran away with her all over the house.

"You were smiling so much." Mei Kexin recalled, and couldn't help but sigh infinitely, "Your uncle always teases you and makes you giggle, and as soon as you see him, you desperately shout for your uncle to hug, uncle to hug." ”

"It's just a pity, our family ......was like that later," Mei Kexin said as she suddenly had a sore nose and almost burst into tears.

The decline of General Dingyuan's Mansion was only in an instant, and Mei Kexin couldn't help but cry sadly every time she talked about it.

Qiu Ci stretched out his hand and stretched out to caress Mei Kexin's back to comfort her.

She felt the pain of such annihilation.

Mei Kexin raised her head, and the tears that had already burst out of her eyes were squeezed back into her eyes.

"It's much better now, though." A bitter smile appeared at the corner of Mei Kexin's mouth, "Your uncle is finally coming back, and our family can be reunited." ”

Qiu Ci looked at the bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, and suddenly felt a little heartache.

At that time, Mei Kexin was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

The daughter, who has always been held in the palm of General Dingyuan's hand, faces the death of her father and sister, and the distance of her brother, and marries her former brother-in-law, shouldering the last wish of her deceased sister to take care of her pair of children.

Such a growth experience is enough to make people sigh.

What makes people feel even more heart-wrenching is that the alienation of the surrounding clansmen, the dislike of her in-laws for her, and the distrust of her husband have to face all of this alone.

Autumn words have sour eye sockets.

"Mother." She buried her head in Mei Ke's arms, and pretended to be coquettish, "Mother, you have worked hard all these years. ”

Mei Kexin was hugged by her like this, and said with a smile, "Fool, what do I have to work hard, but you, it's really hard." ”

She said with infinite emotion.

"I can't believe that you're engaged." She said, "I have been looking forward to your healthy growth, I am afraid that I will make a mistake and affect you, but fortunately, I finally lived up to my sister's expectations." ”

Of course, Qiu Ci became a fool, Mei Kexin was frightened day by day, she had to take care of Brother Jun on the one hand, and on the other hand, she had to take care of Qiu Ci, and she had no flawless doppelganger to take care of the others, but at that time, there was an Aunt Liu digging a pit for her to step on, and she unknowingly fell into the pit dug by Aunt Liu.

Unexpectedly, it was Qiu Ci's help that she saw Aunt Liu's true face, otherwise, she didn't know how long she would have been deceived by Aunt Liu.

Mei Kexin is also really distressed about Qiu Ci, her mind is so delicate and close at a young age, it can be seen how much suffering she has endured to do this.

The mother and daughter talked like this, sighed and hugged each other all afternoon, and it was not until dinner in the evening that Qiu Ci returned to his room.

For Mei Ke's uncle, Qiu Ci actually has no impression.

"Is my uncle married?" In the evening, she asked Qinglan.

"Don't you remember?" Qinglan said, in fact, she was not surprised that Qiu Ci didn't remember, after all, she was still young at that time, "My uncle and grandfather have not yet married, they were originally engaged before, but then the family changed, and the marriage was not settled." ”

Qinglan didn't say it very clearly, but Qiu Ci understood it.

In the past, the Dingyuan General's Mansion was very prominent, and when it was famous, wasn't it easy to find a good family?

But then it fell, and there was nothing to say.

There are always thousands of ways for the other party to get out of their relatives.

"Who is the family that my uncle is betrothed to?" Akiji asked.

"This ......" Qinglan hesitated for a moment, then lowered her head and leaned into Qiu Ci's ear and said, "This slave maid also heard from others, it seems to be a ...... of the Ning family."

Autumn words suddenly, the Ning family, the queen mother's maiden family, no wonder.

Ning Yanyi is the second lady of the Ning family, so the one who is engaged to Mei Yuanhao is Ning Yanyi's eldest sister.

Thinking about it this way, Qiu Ci can understand why the last time she was born, Ning Yanyi inexplicably gave her a picture of the twelve fairies in glass.

After Ning Yanyi's eldest sister and Mei Yuanhao retired, she was later appointed by the emperor to marry Lin Guozhong.

This Lin family has been a civil official for generations, Lin Guozhong is the son of Lin Yongqiang, who is still the head of the household department, and his status is no worse than the original Dingyuan General's Mansion, and this civil official, as long as there is no mistake, will basically rise to the top, all the way.

It is said that Ning Yanyi's eldest sister should be very satisfied with marrying into such a family, but why is Ning Yanyi hostile to Qiu Ci?

Qiu Ci felt that it was probably because the Ning family had been engaged to the Mei family before, and Ning Yanyi felt that this was a failure of their family.
