In the afternoon, the cicadas chirped, but soon disappeared, and the two little girls stood under the tree with bamboo poles and ran in the other direction.

The courtyard was full of greenery and was silent.

After the bead curtain was draped, Mrs. Xie lay on the rocking chair with her eyes closed, and on the other side, Xie Wenxing was holding a book in her hand, because there was an ice basin, so she didn't let the girls play the fan.

"It's been grounded for half a month, it's time to let it out." Xie Wen said suddenly.

"I think she's grounded and comfortable." Mrs. Xie snorted and said, "Every day, I either toss and eat, drink, or make lamps and paint." ”

Xie Wenxing smiled.

"I think the lotus soup that Jiajia sent yesterday is quite delicious." "The paintings are also the same. ”

"I don't think she thinks she's wrong." Mrs. Xie said angrily.

"If she thought she was right, she would have made a lot of noise." Xie Wenxing said, "How can you be so obedient and silent, and be careful every day, and send it to my mother and send us here, lest there be any more turmoil." ”

Mrs. Xie did not speak.

"It's not a way to go on like this." Xie Wenxing continued.

Mrs. Xie sat up.

"Yes, it's not a way to go on like this." "I don't think Jiajia will go to school in the future." ”

Xie Wenxing was stunned.

"She doesn't have to learn to play drums or dance, it's enough for her to read and write." Mrs. Xie continued, "Anyway, she won't be able to participate in the sacrifice in the future. ”

Other sisters can be selected to participate in the sacrifice with Xie Rouhui, because no matter who they attend, Xie Rouhui is the only protagonist, but if Xie Roujia, who has the same face as Xie Rouhui, participates, it is different.

Xie Wenxing was silent.

"Originally, I was for her to play along, not to participate in the sacrifice." He said.

"You can play at home." Mrs. Xie said categorically. "She wants to learn those singing and dancing or something, I specially let people teach her, and at the same time let the embroidery girls teach her to learn needlework, she is twelve years old this year, and she will be able to say goodbye next year, learn needlework for two years, and then she can get married."

That is, to confine her at home. Don't let her be with her sisters anymore.

Xie Wenxing put down the book in his hand. The expression is complicated.

"Ayuan, isn't this unfair to her?" He said.

"How is it unfair? Which of the sisters in the family is not like this? There are a few people who can be selected to accompany Huihui's sacrifice, and the rest are not over the age of thirteen and began to learn needlework and housework. Say kissing to get married? Even if you choose someone who can accompany Huihui's sacrifice, you have to say that you are married. Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and said, "Girls always have to get married, and even Huihui has to recruit a son-in-law." It's just that she won't be allowed to play with everyone, and she can't play with her sisters anyway. ”

Xie Wenxing smiled bitterly.

"You're right. But Jiajia is a person. He said.

"I know what you mean, you want to take your time, I'm afraid she won't be able to stand it." Mrs. Xie said, "I was wrong at the beginning. was always afraid that she would be wronged, so she was always raised with Huihui, if she had been separated. There won't be anything like this, Brother Chang. Now it can't be delayed any longer. ”

When Mrs. Xie's girl came to Xie Roujia's yard, Shao Mingqing was also there.

"Why do you have an extra girl here?" He asked, looking at the locust leaves standing under the porch.

Xie Roujia, who was sitting by the window and was sweating profusely and drawing, was interrupted from her train of thought and was a little unhappy.

"What's wrong with my multiple girls?" She glared and said, "And why are your eyes so sharp?" Even my girl remembers, what do you want to do? ”

Shao Mingqing laughed.

"I don't want to do anything, I just have a good memory, I can't help it." He said.

Xie Roujia snorted, lowered her head, and continued to draw.

"It was given to the second miss by the eldest lady, and the second miss likes it very much." Mu Xiang brought lotus seed soup and said with a smile when he heard it.

Shao Mingqing sighed, looked at the Huaiye under the corridor and stood up, took the soup cup handed by Mu Xiang, and walked to Xie Roujia's side while pacing.

"Do you like it, the eldest lady gave it to you, or did the eldest lady give it to you, do you like it?" He asked.

"What about tongue twisters, you say?" Xie Roujia didn't raise her head.

Shao Ming smiled, did not speak again, and looked at Xie Roujia's painting.

"You're not writing the right thing here." He said as he reached out and nodded.

Xie Roujia didn't speak, moved the pen, and added two more strokes where he pointed, so it was even more unseemly.

"I like to draw, and I can draw whatever I like." She said.

Shao Mingqing shouted, sucking the lotus seed soup in the soup cup.

"You still have your own favorites." He said, "I thought you didn't." ”

Xie Roujia put the pen down.

"Have you finished drinking? When you're done, let's go. She said.

Shao Mingqing continued to suck the bowl, blinking at her and shaking his head.

Mu Xiang chuckled from the side.

"Okay, okay, young master, don't tease our second miss." She smiled, and handed the lotus seed soup to Xie Roujia again, "Miss, take a break, I've been painting for noon." ”

Xie Roujia took the bowl, and Mrs. Xie's eldest girl walked in happily.

"What's wrong?" She asked with a smile, her eyes turning to Xie Roujia and Shao Mingqing.

Mu Xiang hurriedly called out to her sister, and Xie Roujia also greeted with a smile.

"Don't quarrel, have fun." Le Qiao laughed.

Shao Mingqing smiled and replied, Xie Roujia ignored her words.

"Did my mother have something to tell me?" She asked hurriedly.

Le Qiao smiled and nodded.

"The eldest lady asked the second lady to come over." She said.

Past?

Xie Roujia was stunned.

In the half month of being grounded, her mother didn't come to see her, and she didn't let anyone talk to her, Xie Roujia woke up in the middle of the night and always felt that she was back in a nightmare, but fortunately, when she opened her eyes, she could see that it was a teenage Jiangling instead of a twenty-something Jiangling.

But her heart was still uneasy.

"The eldest lady has something to say to the young lady face to face." Leqiao continued.

The mother still talked to her, and the mother still saw her.

Xie Roujia cheered and ran out.

The people in the room were startled, and then they all laughed again.

"Second Miss, slow down." Le Qiao smiled and followed.

Xie Roujia had already run to the gate of the courtyard, followed by Jiang Ling.

Mu Xiang raised his feet and also went. When I turned around and saw Shao Mingqing, I saw that he didn't say goodbye, but stood in front of Xie Roujia's painting, and picked up the pen for a moment.

The words of sending you out were swallowed back.

"Young Master Cousin, you are at your own convenience." She said.

………………………………….

Xie Roujia held the tea in her hand and looked at Mrs. Xie with blank eyes.

"Mother, mother." She shouted under her breath.

Xie Wenxing coughed lightly on the side.

"Ahem, what, ahem. I knelt down for a moment. What are you anxious about. Mrs. Xie glanced at him and said, stretched out her hand to take the tea bowl, "Get up." Look at your father's heartache. ”

Xie Roujia stood up happily.

"My mother also feels sorry for me." She said with a grin.

"Don't you think it hurts me to hit you?" Mrs. Xie said.

Xie Roujia shook her head and reached out to hug Mrs. Xie's arm.

"I don't think my mother will hurt me if she doesn't beat me." She said.

What nonsense! Mrs. Xie glared at her with disgust and reached out to poke her head.

"Don't get tired of me if it's hot." She said.

Xie Roujia smiled and refused to let go.

"Mother, mother, don't be angry with me, and don't be angry with your grandmother." She said in her mind. "You and grandmother are going to be fine, we're all going to be fine."

Mrs. Xie exhaled.

"Jiajia. I have something to tell you. Xie Wenxing glanced at Mrs. Xie and spoke.

Xie Roujia leaned on her mother and looked at her father.

"I'll tell you." Mrs. Xie said, turning her head to look at Xie Roujia, "Jiajia." You won't have to go to school in the future. ”

Xie Roujia was stunned.

"If you want to learn to dance, you can learn it." Xie Wenxing hurriedly added, "Let someone teach you alone." ”

I looked at my mother, and then at my father, who was a little nervous. Xie Roujia smiled, tears falling from her eyes.

Watching her cry. Mrs. Xie's body tensed and sat upright, and Xie Wenxing was even more uneasy.

"Jiajia, it's not that you won't be allowed to learn, really, it's just that you also know that next year's sacrifice is coming, and there are a lot of things to prepare, and you and your sister look the same, I'm afraid it will cause a lot of inconvenience, so..."

Before she finished speaking, Xie Roujia shook her head.

"You don't want to?" Mrs. Xie said with a slightly somber expression.

"No, no." Xie Roujia sniffed and said, "No, I do." ”

Willing?

Mrs. Xie and Xie Wenxing were stunned.

"It doesn't matter if you go to school or not, and I don't like to learn to dance." Xie Roujia said, raised her hand and wiped her tears and smiled, "Father doesn't need to find someone to teach me alone, I also know that my sister and I look like each other, it is always inconvenient to appear together, I know it, I am willing not to go to school." ”

Xie Wenxing looked at Xie Roujia and smiled.

"I knew I was right about you." He reached out and patted his daughter's head, very pleased, "Our Jiajia understands everything." ”

"Then what are you crying about?" Mrs. Xie said.

Xie Roujia smiled and rubbed her eyes.

She knew that the whole family was actually very taboo about her and her sister's appearance, otherwise when her sister drowned in a nightmare, people in the know would unanimously think that she was going to harm her sister, just like what the second uncle said that day, because this similar appearance is too convenient, so she thinks she has the intention of replacing it, but the second uncle said it, and others dare not say it.

She knew all this, and she also understood her mother's mind that her father would not let her go to school again, but she didn't expect her father and mother to be so careful to tell herself, and explain and comfort her.

It's not like in a dream, only the arrangement is not explained, you live here and don't go out, she lives here and doesn't go out, you marry this person, she has to marry this person, the child is not allowed to be raised by her, just take it away, the husband dies and dies, and if you go out and remarry, you never explain, only arrangement, only acceptance.

Hearing her say this reason, Mrs. Xie and Xie Wenxing were stunned, and then laughed again.

"What's going on in your head?" Mrs. Xie stretched out her hand to poke her forehead, angry and funny, "Isn't it natural to tell you?" ”

I have experienced a time when I don't take it for granted, so I understand the preciousness of taking it for granted.

Xie Roujia hugged her mother's arm and rubbed it, muttering no.

"You're smarter than anyone else in this careful thinking, why are you always confused in big things." Mrs. Xie said angrily.

"Big things have mothers, fathers, and sisters." Xie Roujia said with a smile.

"What do you want to learn at home?" Xie Wenxing asked.

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"You can't be lazy if you don't go to school." Mrs. Xie said, "If you want to sleep until three poles in the morning every day, see how I clean you up." ”

Xie Roujia chuckled, hugged Mrs. Xie's arm and shook it again.

"Then what did my mother ask me to learn?" She asked.

……………………………………………….

When Xie Roujia returned to her yard, she was followed by many girls carrying embroidery frames.

"What is this?" Mu Xiang and the others asked in surprise.

"Second Miss is going to learn embroidery." Jiang Ling said happily, "These are all sent by the eldest lady, and there will be embroidery girls tomorrow." ”

Muxiang was taken aback.

Embroidery!

Didn't the eldest lady let the second lady lift the grounding? Do you even have to be locked up in the house to learn embroidery?

"No, the lockdown has been lifted." Jiang Ling smiled and said, "In the future, the second lady won't have to go to school, so she has to learn embroidery." ”

Mu Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and was immediately surprised at what it meant that he didn't have to go to school.

"It's just that the second lady doesn't have to go to school in the future." Jiang Ling said.

"Yes, I will learn embroidery at home in the future, and then I can follow my father to the shop, and my father will teach me to settle accounts." Xie Roujia said, pointing to the girls, "Put the embroidery frame here." ”

"Do you like to learn embroidery and settle accounts?" Shao Mingqing leaned against the door of the house and asked.

Xie Roujia was startled when she just saw him.

"Why haven't you left yet?" She said, waving at him again, "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”

Shao Mingqing stepped aside and stood beside her.

"Do you like embroidery again?" He asked again.

"yes, I do." Xie Roujia snorted.

Shao Mingqing waved at her.

"No, no, you should say you like it, you shouldn't say I like it." He said seriously.

What do you mean?

Master Cousin said tongue twisters again?

Mu Xiang opened the curtain with her own hands and asked the little girls to place the embroidery frame in the house.

Xie Roujia looked at Shao Mingqing and snorted.

"I like it, I like it, I like it." She said with a glare.

"You just like what your father, mother, and sister like to give you to do, and you don't care what it is, let alone whether you like it or not." Shao Mingqing pursed his lips and said, "How can this be called you like, it can only be called joy." ”

He is right, as long as it is given to her by her father, mother and sister, she likes it, she likes it all, as long as there is a father, mother and sister, this is enough, her world is enough, her father and mother sister are all she has, all!

How can people who have never lost know the preciousness of being lost and regained!

"It's just that I like it, it's what I like, it's what I like." Xie Roujia glared again and shouted.

Mu Xiang's head was confused when he listened, and he didn't understand what this one liked to say.

"Second Miss, don't be noisy." She hurriedly persuaded, and had an idea, "The eldest lady doesn't know that you have lifted the grounding, go and sue her." ”

This sentence really led to the topic, and Xie Roujia was busy going to find Xie Rouhui.

"Is my sister going to school today?" She asked, taking too long of a break to remember if she couldn't go to school today.

"No, the eldest lady has gone to Xifu." Mu Xiang said with a smile, "I came here this morning, because I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to go out and be unhappy, so I told us not to tell you, and I came to eat with you when I caught fish in the afternoon..."

Xie Roujia was stunned for a moment when she listened, and suddenly stepped forward.

"What did you say?" She raised her voice and asked, "What is my sister going to do?" ”
