Chapter 03: The Year of the Golden Hairpin
"Ah" Yan Ning screamed unconsciously, just like dreaming of the feeling of falling from a high altitude in his sleep, he suddenly fell to the ground without landing under his feet, and the feeling of emptiness could not dissipate. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
When I opened my eyes, I saw the goldfish playing in the water tent above my head, slowly turned my head, and glanced at the room, which was actually the furnishings of the boudoir in my family.
There was the sound of sprinkling and sweeping outside the window, the rustle of a broom sweeping across the ground, a ray of morning light shining in front of her bed through the cloud screen window, and the daylight could still be seen in the underworld?
The door was gently pushed open, and Hauni walked in with the water, her footsteps were light and silent, and she put down the basin, and she lifted the gauze tent, "Oh, girl, you don't make a sound when you wake up, you are scared to death the slave!" Hauni's voice was crisp and crisp, patted her chest and said in disgust, and asked, "It's still early before the time to practice martial arts, does the girl want to lie down for a while or get up first?" ”
"Hauni?" Yan Ning called out uncertainly.
"The slave is here, girl." Hauni agreed, wondering why the girl who is usually alive and well, why does her voice sound so fragile today, and after looking at it carefully, she didn't feel uncomfortable on her face.
"Hauni! Hauni-" Yan Ning suddenly jumped up and hugged Hauni, bursting into tears.
Outside, the green clothes heard Hauni's voice, walked in to serve, and saw Yan Ning holding Hauni tightly, and was startled: "Hauni, what's wrong with the girl?" ”
"It's just fine, I don't know." Hauni was also very inexplicable, patting Yan Ning's back, "What's wrong with the girl?" The slave is here, is it a nightmare? ”
"Green clothes-" Yan Ning leaned on Hongni's arms and stretched out his hand to Green Yi, who hurriedly grabbed it and probed his forehead, it's okay.
Yan Ning grabbed Green's hand, she had been practicing martial arts with her brothers since she was a child, and her hand strength was also great, and the palm of the hand that grabbed Greenyi was painful. But she didn't care, she just hugged Hauni's waist with one hand and grabbed the green hand with the other, this is the maid who grew up with her, this is the maid who died tragically for her, she wants to hold on to them and never let go.
Hauni and Greenyi didn't know what was going on with her, so they didn't dare to alarm, so they had to let her hold and pull, looking at each other.
After crying silently for a while, Yan Ning even had swollen eyelids, and the green clothes looked down to see her tearful appearance, and said softly: "Girl, the slave maid will wipe your face with a towel first, and the eyelids are swollen and the lady will be worried when she sees it." If you are unhappy, you can talk to the two slaves and maids, or tell the lady, tell the second young master, they will definitely make decisions for you. ”
Yan Ning slowly came back to his senses, listening to the whispers of the green clothes, feeling their warm body temperature in his hands.
Warm?
Madam?
Second young master?
She let go of her hand, looked down at herself, her hand was a few sizes smaller, she jumped off the bed, rushed to her dressing mirror, and saw a familiar immature face, herself in the mirror, her face was already a little beautiful, and a pair of eyes were round.
"Hauni, Green, how old am I?" She asked, turning her head to look at the two maids.
Hauni burst out laughing, "My good girl, you are twelve years old, and if you are still clamoring to grow up, the slave will say that you are sixteen." ”
Twelve?
Twelve years old, are those memories in your mind real, or are they just Nan Ke's dreams? If it's just a dream, is that kind of pain really just a dream?
If you want to confirm it yourself, you must confirm it.
Yan Ning settled his mind and said to himself in his heart.
Hauni and Green Yi are both maids she has served since childhood, and they are the same age, two years older than her. Hauni has a more pungent temperament and speaks crisply. Green is gentle and timid, and her speech is soft. The two of them are strong and soft, and they are very loyal to themselves.
Green Yi saw her crying and laughing, like an evil spirit, "Girl, Madame explained yesterday that you should go to the main hall early today, and after dinner, we will take a car outside the city to pick up the general." If you are not feeling well, the slave maid will go and tell your wife to let you rest at home? ”
"My father is back? Is it from Yuyangguan that he came back from an injury? Yan Ning searched for his memory, and was a little vague about the yesterday in the green clothes' mouth, so he asked according to the memory in the dream.
"Yes, Mrs. didn't say it yesterday, it's just an old injury, you don't have to worry." Green Yi said, helped Yan Ning sit down, and began to comb her hair.
Hauni also wrenched the face towel and wiped Yan Ning's hands.
"I'm fine, just had a nightmare, don't worry. It's been a long time since I've seen my father, so I have to go and greet me, and you guys should dress me up nicely. ”
The two laughed, "Yes, the two slaves and maids must dress up the girl well." ”
Yan Ning carefully recalled that in the dream, his father Yan Mingde came back from Yuyang Pass due to injury when he was twelve years old, leaving his eldest brother Yan Xu to guard Yuyang Pass.
When my father came back, he also gave himself a small jujube red horse, which was a pony born by the wild horse tamed by the eldest brother in Yuyang Pass, and the second brother complained several times that the eldest brother was eccentric.
What kind of clothes did you wear when you went to greet your father? It seems like...... It seems to be ......
"Girl, the new clothes that Madame sent me last night, why don't you wear this?" Hauni pulls out a dress and shows it.
Yan Ning was struck by lightning, and the self in her dream seemed to be wearing this red pomegranate skirt with a double flat bun...... "I don't practice martial arts in the morning, let's go to my mother quickly." ”
After changing her clothes, Yan Ning didn't even dare to look in the mirror, she picked up her skirt with both hands and ran towards the main courtyard.
The Yan family occupies a very wide area, I heard that this house is the mansion of a real power prince in the previous dynasty, after the establishment of the Chu State, the founding Taizu divided the founding heroes, and pointed out this mansion to the Yan family.
When Yan Ning ran to the main courtyard, the general's wife, Qin, was still dressing up, panting when she saw her running, and said with a smile: "What's the hurry?" Your father won't be able to arrive in Beijing until noon, and his hair is loose, so he doesn't look like a girl. ”
Mama Wang, who was beside the Qin family, hurriedly pulled Yan Ning to sit down, "The old slave helped the girl pull her hair." ”
Mama Wang was originally the eldest maid by the Qin family's side, married to the general in Yan's mansion, and was still Yan Ning's nurse. It's just that the children of the Yan family are afraid of being too pampered, and they are not allowed to follow the nurse after the age of nine. The boy has a little girl by his side, and the girl has a maid by his side, and after Mama Wang didn't become Yan Ning's nurse, she returned to Qin's side to serve, but she saw that Yan Ning was still a special relative.
Yan Ning stood at the door, looked at the Qin family blankly, and pretended to be calm and shouted: "Mother! Momma! ”
The mother in the dream committed suicide and died, and the mother died tragically. It was just a dream, although she comforted herself that it was just a dream, but the pain of loss still made her can't help but pounce, regardless of Qin's still grooming, she threw herself into her arms, and called softly again, "Mother, I miss you so much", buried her head, smelled the elegant fragrance on her mother's body, and felt that she had a place to belong.
"This child, the older he gets, the more he looks like a child." Qin Shi listened to Yan Ning's screams, and only felt sour and astringent in his heart, he didn't know why his daughter's voice was so painful, he complained in his mouth, and his hand had already wrapped his arms around his daughter.
"Girl, this is filial piety." Mama Wang said, "Girl, hurry up and let Madame comb her hair, it's time to eat." ”
Yan Ning sat up and asked Mama Wang to help her fix her hair, and Hauni ran in to see that she was okay and helped Mama Wang on the side.
After the Qin family finished dressing up, they took Yan Ning to the main hall, Yan Lie was already impatient to wait, and as soon as he saw them, he shouted: "Mother, you guys are so late today, I am starving to death." Turning to Yan Ning, he looked at it, "Ning'er, didn't you go to the martial arts training ground today?" Isn't it uncomfortable? ”
"No, it's just that I don't want to practice today, I want to accompany my mother."
"Sure enough, the yellow-haired girl doesn't grow big." Yan Lie knew that she was not uncomfortable, so she was relieved, and said very old-fashionedly, "Practice three times in winter and three times in summer, and you can't waste a day of practice." ”
"Yes, yes, yes, I know." Yan Ning wrinkled his nose and replied.
Yan Lie is two years older than himself, as his name suggests, his sex is like fire, he is brave but resourceful, and his personality is a little impatient, basically his fists move faster than his brain. But his brother and sister grew up together, so the relationship is very good, the eldest brother Yan Xu is six years older than him, and Yan Ning has been playing with Yan Lie since he was a child.
Qin said to Yan Lie: "My sister is a girl, and she doesn't go to the battlefield, so it's okay to practice for a day less, let's eat." ”
Yan Lie didn't say anything, and saw Yan Ning looking at himself with a smile, silently bowing his head to eat. The Qin family gave birth to two sons and a daughter, Yan Ning is the youngest daughter, and the Qin family was born in her thirties, in the Yan family, Yan Ning is the first to be favored, he was really stupid just now to teach her in front of his mother, rolled his eyes at Yan Ning, and bowed his head to eat.
Because Yan Mingde asked people to go home to deliver the letter first yesterday, and they will go to the capital around noon today. After the three of them finished eating, the Qin clan ordered a set of cars and took Yan Lie and Yan Ning to meet them in front of the city gate.
