On the way back, Jiang Xuan frequently looked at Ah Yin's expression, and several times he wanted to speak, but Ah Yin silently stopped him. Ah Yin shook his head slightly, signaling that Dongyun was still outside. The carriage is not big, there are only two people in it, and through a layer of broken curtains that can't even block the wind, you can still see the backs of the rider and Dongyun.

Half an hour passed, and the three of them returned to Yin's house.

As soon as he entered the door, Dong Yun opened his throat and shouted, "Master, madam, the eldest girl is back!" ”

Unexpectedly, after a while, no one came out. After a while, a servant poked his head out and said, "Great ...... Big girl, Mrs. has prepared a new house for you in Nanyuan, and all the things in your original house have been moved, and Mrs. also said that let the big girl take care of your body, and now Mrs. is still cooking porridge for the big girl in the stove room. ”

Hearing this, Ah Yin couldn't help frowning.

The Yin family's house is a two-entry courtyard, the Yin family is a vassal and elegant, the inner courtyard is called the East Garden, the outer courtyard is called the South Garden, the previous two rooms are crowded in the East Garden, Ah Yin also gets a small room in the corner, and the third aunt of Xinna is placed in the South Garden.

Now she has only gone out to recuperate for half a month, and when she gets home, she doesn't even have a room.

Dong Yun smiled and said: "In the past, the eldest girl and Miss Xuan squeezed into a small room together, and Mrs. also felt wronged Miss Xuan, but now the eldest girl has moved to Nanyuan, and the room in Nanyuan is large, in addition to the main couch, there is also a low couch, and the two girls don't need to squeeze into the same bed." ”

Ah Yin asked calmly, "Where does the third aunt live?" ”

Dong Yun coughed lightly and said, "The master thought that the girl was going to get married after a while, so he let the third aunt live in the eldest girl's room." As he spoke, as if he remembered something, Dong Yun slapped his head hard, and only said: "Look at the memory of the slave maid, how can you forget the most important thing?" The eldest girl, the slave and maid went to report to the lady, saying that the eldest girl's chickenpox was cured, and her face was also healed. ”

Dongyun hurried towards the East Garden.

Just as the spring breeze rose, blowing a few strands of hair on Ah Yin's sideburns, she stretched out her hand to brush it behind her ear, and her eyebrows and eyes were cold. Obviously surnamed Yin, this is also the Yin family, but looking at the wooden door of Dongyuan, he seems to be forcibly separated, as if the people inside, the things inside, and the laughter inside have nothing to do with her Yin Yin.

"Sister......

Ah Yin shook his head and said, "Let's go back to the room, there are ears on the partition wall here." As soon as the words fell, Ah Yin felt a little ridiculous that he could use the words "Ear" on the partition wall in his own home.

As soon as the two returned to the room, before they sat down, Qin's voice had already arrived.

"Ah Yin! Show your face to your mother. As soon as the Qin family entered the house, he went straight to Ah Yin, held her hand, and couldn't stop looking at her face with joy, especially the right cheek, really looked at it again and again, and touched it lightly with his hand, looking thankful, and only said: "God bless, God bless." ”

As he spoke, Qin glared at Jiang Xuan.

"What's the matter with you? The big girl came back for a long time, and she couldn't even prepare tea? Our Yin family didn't raise you to support idlers. ”

Jiang Xuan hurriedly said, "Ah Xuan immediately went to prepare tea." ”

Ah Yin said: "No need, I'm not thirsty, my sister has just come back, and I am tired of wanting to come, so my sister will go to rest first." My mother also wants to talk to me about herself. Qin glared at her again: "What are you doing here?" Don't want to stay in the house yet? Growing so big, I can't even look at it, how can I wait for the big girl in the future? ”

Jiang Xuan replied in a low voice.

Ah Yin gave her a gentle look.

As soon as Jiang Xuan left, Qin said again: "You, you just spoil her too much, eating and living in our house, if it weren't for your grandfather's insistence back then, who would be willing to raise an idler?" Ah Yin said: "Ah Xuan also makes embroidered handkerchiefs on weekdays to subsidize the family. She also wanted to say that Ah Xuan's embroidered handkerchiefs sold very well, and the money she earned back was more than enough to support both. Qin Shi was dissatisfied, and his voice was raised: "This is what she should do!" At the beginning, our family didn't take her in, and she was already living on the streets. ”

As if remembering something, Qin's voice softened again.

"You just protect her, you can't be like this when you get married in the future. That's it, let's not talk about that. Mother made you a new dress, don't always wear an apricot-colored skirt, our Ah Yin is young, and she looks young, and she can wear the color of pink goose yellow. ”

Qin shook off a piece of clothing, it was a pink-purple magnolia patterned chest-length Confucian skirt, and the skirt was full of flowers, which was very spring-like.

Ah Yin only glanced at it, and said, "Didn't my mother say a while ago that she wanted to save money?" Why did you suddenly make me a new set of clothes? Qin said: "The bride price of the Xie family is here, and you will get married after a while, how can you not have a few sets of clothes to meet people?" You are your mother's daughter, and the dowry is properly prepared, so you will not lose face in the Xie family. ”

As soon as the bride price was received, the Qin family took a part of it, first made clothes for the four seasons for Brother Hao, the master also made two sets of new robes, and made one set himself, and the rest of the money bought a good material and made a set of chest-length Confucian skirts for Ah Yin.

How could Ah Yin not know?

From childhood to adulthood, as long as she has it, Brother Hao will definitely have more. It's just that she doesn't want to worry about these, she cares a lot, and her heart hurts when she feels uncomfortable. Now she only cares about one thing, she asked bluntly: "Mother, I almost broke my appearance before, and the Xie family is still willing to marry me as a wife?" ”

Qin said: "The Xie family Xiaolang has you in his heart, and many girls can't look forward to it." ”

Ah Yin asked, "Does my mother want me to be a concubine?" ”

Her eyes were clear, which made Qin's heart weak, so she could only turn her head sideways to avoid it, and said: "Ah Yin, you heard my mother say that the joys, sorrows, and sorrows of the rest of your life are all on the Xie family Xiaolang, and the most important thing is that he has you in his heart, and he can not care about his reputation." ”

"Has my mother ever thought that one day Xie Xiaolang will no longer like me, and at that time, how should I deal with myself as a concubine who was allowed to be killed by my wife?"

Qin said, "What will happen one day? The Xie family Xiaolang can wait for you for five years, which shows his sincerity. You don't have to think too much about it, when you get married, you are deeply loved by your husband, and you are still young and can conceive children quickly. When you give birth to a son, even if you are old and decrepit, you still have children to rely on. ”

Ah Yin said: "Mother, I don't want to marry. ”

When the Qin family heard this, they were anxious and said, "Isn't it just to be a concubine?" You are not young anymore, people like the Xie family are willing to marry you, and our ancestors have burned high incense. Besides, the bride price has been received, how can there be a return of the bride price? ”

Ah Yin said coldly: "Compared with the return of the bride price, my mother is more worried about whether Brother Hao can go to the Shouquan Academy, right?" ”

Qin's complexion changed suddenly.

"Rebel girl! How dare you talk back to your mother! A black shadow suddenly came, and with a snap, a loud slap fell on Ah Yin's side face, Yin Xiuwen was annoyed and angry, and shouted: "You are the eldest sister, it is natural to do something for your younger brother, not to mention marrying such a good family." The most important thing to be a woman is to be docile, who got you used to your stinky temperament? I sue you, even if your grandfather is here today, I will beat you the same. As he spoke, he raised his hand again, Qin looked at the slap mark on his daughter's face, and said distressedly: "If you want to marry someone after a while, it's not good to leave a mark." Ah Yin, don't admit your father's mistake yet! ”

Ah Yin suddenly lowered his eyes.

The tension of Fang Cai disappeared completely.

She said: "My daughter knows her mistake. ”.

Jiang Xuan boiled two hot eggs, wrapped them in a cotton cloth, and gently rubbed Ah Yin's slightly swollen cheeks. She said in a low voice, "Why can't my sister hold her breath today?" In the past, my sister never quarreled with the old lady, she avoided it if she could, and endured it if she could. ”

"I just want to kill myself completely."

Before, my father and mother hid it from herself, and she didn't say anything, and occasionally she would have a trace of hope in the dead of night. Now thanks to today's slap and her father's words, she thoroughly understands that this family is really not worth nostalgia.

Ah Yin said: "Sister, you go to Nuclear Eagle Town tomorrow to see what news Fan Xiaolang has." ”

"Okay.".

When Jiang Xuan left the next day, Qin Weng gave Ah Yin an invitation, which was clearly written in black and white, and it was Xie Shaohuai who asked her to meet in Taoshan. Ah Yin thought about it, but still went to the appointment on time.

Seeing Xie Shaohuai again, Ah Yin found that he had long lost his original heartbeat.

A beautiful friendship, in the five years of dragging, has become so vicissitudes and ridiculous, even if life is only as first seen, there has never been a single point of emotion.

Xie Shaohuai said guiltily: "Ah Yin, Shaohuai did his best. But don't worry, I will not let people bully you in the future, I will protect you thoroughly, I will cherish you, I will love you for the rest of my life. If Ah Yin doesn't believe it, Shao Huai can swear to the sky, if he can't do it, he will ......" He paused, in the past, Ah Yin would scorn him and tell him to stop talking. But now Ah Yin looked at him quietly, so that the four words in his throat couldn't go up and down, and he spit out for a while: "The sky is thundering." ”

Ah Yin didn't look the slightest moved.

Xie Shaohuai secretly told himself that Ah Yin must be angry. The mother said that the woman would be happy and coaxed.

She said, "Shaohuai, do you remember what you said to me at the beginning?" ”

"Remember! I remember every word clearly. ”

"Really?"

"What did you say to me when we first met here?"

Xie Shaohuai hurriedly said: "If I can't marry you as a wife, let's get together and ......" Before the words were spoken, Xie Shaohuai's face changed slightly, and he said stupidly: "Ah Yin, I will really be good to you, you are not angry, I ...... I won't go into my wife's room in the future! ”

Ah Yin asked, "Do you still have me in your heart?" ”

"Yes! My heart, my liver, I have you! ”

"Then you will withdraw from my marriage."

"No way!" Xie Shaohuai said firmly: "I must marry you." ”

Ah Yin didn't say a word, and even though Xie Shaohuai said it, his mouth was broken, and he still had no expression. Xie Shaohuai was also a little annoyed, thinking that his mother was right, women can't be too spoiled, he said it all over his mouth, and he didn't see her feel distressed.

The two parted unhappily.

When Ah Yin went down the mountain, he was caught off guard and stopped by a man in Xuanyi. She couldn't help but be vigilant, and said coldly: "Who are you?" ”

The Xuanyi man has a mediocre appearance, and she has never seen it.

"If you have any difficulties, you only need to take this token to the Tianling Inn, and a qiē problem will be solved."

The Xuanyi man disappeared quickly.

Ah Yin looked at the token in his palm in a daze.

She had seen that day in the woods of Cangshan, the white jade wrench of a noble man called Hou Ye.
