Zhou Manyin knelt on the cold ground, facing Aunt Bai, who couldn't see any emotion, and didn't dare to come out.

She deeply understands that her name can be transferred from a biological mother who died early to the name of her mother-in-law, and the role played by Aunt Bai in the center. If it weren't for this blood grandmother behind her, she would still be a humble concubine who was not looked at by anyone when she was in Luojing.

"Grandma!" , figured out the joint, as soon as the maid in the room was sent out, Manyin immediately took two steps on his knees, and lay on the lap of the old white aunt and screamed softly, like a coquettish kitten.

Old Aunt Bai glanced down at her, and said with a straight face: "Zhou Manyin, you have been getting bolder and bolder recently. I remember reminding you that before Manyan gets married, it's best to take your cleverness and don't kill yourself. ”

The five fingers of Zhou Manyin's right hand were clasped to the palm of his hand, where a light white scar was stretching horizontally, marking the palmistry into the shape of a broken palm. This wound was left when she was a child when she took the golden hairpin that killed Min in Fengjin, and Xu Ne, who was still screaming falsely that day, showed it to her, and also said that it would not fall traces, but she let Manyin secretly wash it behind her back.

In order to save the injury suffered by her mother-in-law, the Min family felt pity for her for a while because of guilt during that time, and it also made Manyin enter the score as a concubine without hindrance. But after returning to Huocheng, Zhou Manyan, the four-room concubine who first returned to her hometown in the fourteenth year of Yongde, was always critical of Manyin according to the identity of Min's biological daughter, and the Min family, who was obviously more distressed about her own daughter, gradually faded towards Manyin.

Aunt Bai also saw it really and reminded Manyin not to compete with Manyan. Just wait for Manyan to get married, and then use the next few years to get along with the Min family more closely.

But. Manyin, who was just ten years old, couldn't do it, and she couldn't help but want to know what Min and Manyan were doing or talking about in private.

"Grandma......". Manyin didn't cry, her eyes already contained a layer of water, and she snorted aggrievedly: "The granddaughter just wants to learn more from her mother, and in the past two years, her mother has taught her sister not to bring Yin'er with her as before, and always beat the child out." That's why I thought I could learn more in private. ”

"You didn't think about it, you and Manyan are the age difference, and there are some things that your mother is not easy to teach you! You're just guarding against your mother. I'm afraid she didn't mistake you wholeheartedly! ”

Aunt Bai was angry, but looking at her granddaughter who was already sobbing in front of her, she suddenly felt a wave of sadness in her heart.

is a concubine, and Aunt Bai also has a deep understanding, and the behavior of this little concubine in front of her who is similar to her background is also very similar to her back then.

"Sister Yin! Listen to grandma...... Back then, like you, I was always worried that I would be treated poorly by my grandmother and miss my future, so I thought about seizing every opportunity by relying on my own cleverness...... The aunt who married into the Xie family went back to Baifu in Yuan County to pick people, but my mother-in-law pressed me and didn't let me get out. I found my way to make a fortune...... As a result, when my mother sent me from Yuan County to Luojing, she said that the third sister will regret treating you when you are older......"

Reminiscing about the past. Old Aunt Bai's eyes couldn't help but have tears in her eyes.

The little girl who followed her aunt to the Hou Mansion of Baoning was only eleven or twelve years old, and like the cousins sent by other relatives to enjoy the fine clothes and jade food together, she wholeheartedly relied on the Hou Mansion.

At the age of fifteen or sixteen, love began to open. The aunt quietly led the peek at the brother-in-law who accompanied her cousin back to visit relatives, and a few praises plus the encouragement to help her cousin deal with the fox. A small sedan chair swayed into the side door of Zhou's house.

"I just entered the Zhou family, and I have no regrets. Cousin Xie treated me very well. The husband is also gentle and considerate, and the only thing that takes some effort is to help her add to the problem of the woman surnamed Huang according to her cousin's instructions...... When Huang Xiyue died, she asked me, 'Bai Zhujun, do you regret it?' I shook my head, but she said, 'You don't regret it, I regret it!' ’。 How can you not regret it, but you don't want to lose face. The Xie family occupies a place, Huang Xiyue has a juvenile friendship, and what do I have? It's just a tool to help Xie share his worries......"

"You understand what I'm talking about?" , Aunt Bai sighed desolately: "In addition to me, the rest of the sisters in my family have become wives, even if some of the married families are not satisfactory, but they are all better than me, and they are a concubine who is not allowed to enter the ancestral grave after death and no one sacrifices." So in Pingzhou, I heard that your grandfather was in prison, but I was calm, because I thought at that time, if Zhou Xian died, I would simply commit suicide in the name of martyrdom, maybe I could be buried next to the grave of him and his master's mother, and take advantage of the incense. ”

"Zhou Manyin, your current identity is not easy to come by. The old man has mercy on you to help you get here, don't be cheap and annoy your mother. The daughter of the Zhou family is not a concubine, as long as you stand upright, you will be blessed in the future. ”

Zhou Manyin knelt in a muffled voice, tears smashed to his knees, and it took a long time before he bowed down and kowtowed: "Grandma!" Manyin doesn't dare anymore, from now on, she will be filial to her mother, and I will listen to your arrangement with her. ”

"That's right! Sister Yun in the fifth room is only a few months younger than you, and she is very favored by the master, and she will carefully choose her husband's family for her, and you don't have to fight or grab it when the time comes. When Sister Yun'er's marriage is decided, the old man will make a statement to the master, and then pick up the right one for you from the rest of the people's houses, and naturally it won't be bad......"

Old Aunt Bai stretched out her hand to hold Manyin, wiped the tears on her granddaughter's face with a handkerchief, and carefully comforted her.

Zhou Manyin immediately burst into laughter, as bright as a spring flower.

"I can't fight, I can only pick up what Zhou Manyun doesn't want!"

Zhou Manyin, who was still frowning in her dreams, turned over uneasily, her little face touched the cold edge of the bed, and suddenly woke up.

Bending over and leaning on the head of the bed, she didn't dare to make a noise to the maid in the room, raised her right hand to cover her mouth, and tears fell suddenly, overflowing the scar in her palm that could never be removed again.

On the same night, Zhou Manyun also bent his knees and leaned on the head of the bed, unable to sleep at night.

Because of the tenth-ranked kitten Zhou Manzhen, the ranking of the sisters of the Zhou family has been messed up compared to the previous life, but the uncle who went to Huoshan to study on the wall did not have the tenth sister Zhou Manya in the previous life in this life, and Yinxia in the second uncle's room was still pregnant like in the previous life.

In this way, if a daughter is born, it will still be ranked eleven. If you call Zhou Manjie again......

Holding his head in both hands, his fingers stuck in his black hair. Zhou Manyun looked at the silver coiled on his knees with red and swollen eyes, and did not move.

A pair of silver eyes. It was as dark as a quiet and deep night, as if it could swallow everything, just waiting for Manyun's order.

Man Yun stared blankly at Yinzi, a sentence in his mouth repeatedly......

When the sun lifted the dark sky, it gradually rose, and a corner door of the Zhou house was slowly opened.

The Qinggai carriage was swaying, and there was Zhou Manyun who was suddenly going to go to the Yanlingfeng Medicine Garden in Huoshan early in the morning. She didn't sleep all night, and she didn't want to stay in the house to hear any news from the Huanxiang Courtyard, so she chose to avoid it first.

Layer upon layer of medicine bushes walked by. The increasingly thick toxin aura that dispersed in the air quieted Man Yun and Yinzi, who was also restless in her body.

"Master!" , Standing quietly on the edge of a medicine ridge and watching for a while, Zhou Manyun raised his voice and evoked Xu Ne, who was burying his head in picking herbal leaves.

"Come here!" , Xu Ne heard Man Yun's shout, and he didn't raise his face at all, but only raised his arm directly and beckoned perfunctorily.

Zhou Manyun pursed his lips and smiled, lifted his skirt and ran over quickly. As soon as she squatted down on Xu Ne's body, a blade of grass with the morning dew was stuffed directly into her mouth.

"Unwashed!" , Man Yun wrinkled his little nose and pretended to have a disgusted expression. shows that she is already a little lady who is about to grow up.

Xu Ne looked at her seriously and said with a smile: "The eyes are as red as a rabbit, and you are still pretending to be here?" I don't know if I'll come back after I've put the medicine on it. ”

"Master's medicine is better than mine!" Zhou Manyun spread out his palms with a smile. It's a bummer.

When Xu Ne got up and walked towards the hut by the medicine field, Man Yun, who was following him, had a slight trace of sentimentality in his eyes.

The heartless senior brother Xu Yu has been addicted to running around with Du Xuanshuang for the past year. It has been nearly a year since Xu Ne moved to Yaotian alone, under the pretext that Grandpa Xiang, who was originally guarding Yaotian, died. I didn't find a candidate for haode for a while.

If you trace back to the source, the master started from Zhou Kai's father when he was one year old, and began to slowly withdraw away from Zhou's house. If this continues, sooner or later, he will not want to stay in Jiangnan anymore, so he will turn around and leave.

Intuition is also related to experience, and combined with the past life, Man Yun dares to believe that the subtle feelings that he has been accumulating are not wrong.

Everything in the world is like this, what you want to keep may not be able to keep, if you don't want her to come, she will come.

Zhou Manyun's closed eyes were smeared with a layer of pale green transparent ointment, Xu Ne looked at it, and slapped two more emerald green leaves.

"Leaves can't fall to the ground!"

The obedient Zhou Manyun simply knelt on the ground and bent over, turning his soft body into a hollow figure, his face was tilted up to the sky, and his upturned feet were directly under the black hair, which was also comfortable.

The silver that came out to let off the wind also did the same, and posed almost the same image on Zhou Manyun.

"No wonder Silver likes you! You are the ...... of the family", Xu Ne couldn't help laughing, and as soon as the laughter stopped, he said with a serious face: "You can't show it off everywhere in the future, the girl's family should be more reserved." ”

The little girl who has learned the soft brocade has a soft body, and the posture is just simple and good-looking, but if she is an adult, the same appearance will highlight the body curves and show some charm. Man Yun's mind spun quickly, his face turned red, and he flipped and bounced, but he honestly stood up straight.

Hearing that Xu Ne seemed to be about to turn around and go out, Man Yun coughed hurriedly, hiding his embarrassment, and asked softly: "Master, if you meet someone, this person will harm you in the future, what poison will you use to deal with him?" ”

"Just think?" , Xu Ne looked at the silver that was slowly getting up from the ground, climbing on Man Yun's calves, and said in a deep voice: "Do you think I will be poisoned because of the fear of the unknown?" ”

Man Yun's hypothetical question evoked not very pleasant memories for Xu Ne.

Xu Yu's grandfather, the stunning lord of Nanzhao, was afraid of facing his aging life, his subjects who were afraid of political discord, and even his children and grandchildren who would threaten his power, so he set off a drug war boom in Nanzhao. The annihilation of the Nanzhao royal family was not at the hands of the Chen Dynasty or rebellious courtiers, but the result of the king's own killers slaughtering his descendants and relatives.

Poisoners must have taboos, otherwise the consequences of unscrupulous recklessness are unimaginable. Poisonous creatures like Tong, who were born from heaven and earth, all know this truth, they hide and cherish themselves, and if they are not invaded into the territory, they will definitely not take the initiative to attack.

"Zhou Manyun! I told you that poison is just a craft. The ancestors used poison from the use of medicine, and the world was born with poison, and then in the process of detoxification, they groped for all kinds of new poisons. My master once said that she learns poison, in fact, just like other girls learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and needlework and thread, she entertains herself and finds answers to all the unknowns, and matches them to get more ingenious poison prescriptions...... I've always wanted you to be as ...... as she is."

Xu Ne reached out and removed the leaf that was still covering Man Yun's eyes, straightened her shoulders, and looked into her eyes solemnly.

"Zhou Manyun, can you tell me, who do you want to poison?" (To be continued......)
