The snow was always falling incessantly for several days, and the snow that fell was very thick, and some of the small trees in the middle of the garden had broken their branches.

Xiao Jinxuan walked on the promenade, looking at the snowfall in the sky, she lowered her head and sighed, the snowstorm that froze countless people to death in her previous life seemed to be coming.

Zhuzi, who was following behind her, saw Xiao Jinxuan's frowning appearance, and whispered comfortingly: "Miss, Young Master Yao is now very good, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Xiao Jinxuan paused, glanced at the bamboo that followed behind her, holding a food box in her hand, but smiled and didn't say anything.

She knew that Zhuzi thought she was worried about Xiao Wenyao, because the little guy had fallen ill since he came back.

The cause was typhoid fever, and like in his previous life, he still had a high fever, but now that he was better cared for and treated by a doctor, he would not die at a young age as before.

And she rushed out in the snow early in the morning, just to see Xiao Wenyao, and she deliberately made some food that the other party liked.

The master and servant arrived at Yang's courtyard after a while, and after Xiao Wenyao fell ill, Yang was afraid that his subordinates would not be able to take care of him, so he simply took care of it himself, and even took his son to his residence.

When she came to the door, before she entered, Xiao Jinxuan heard the laughter of her mother and brother inside, and she couldn't help but smile lightly, she wanted to protect these two dearest people in this life, and let their laughter always be so warm and worry-free.

Dusting off the snowflakes on her body, Xiao Jinxuan pushed the door with a smile and went in: "Brother Yao, are you better, my sister has come to see you." ”

Xiao Wenyao, who was sticking to the Yang family's coquettishness, saw that it was his sister who came, and immediately said happily: "Sister, you are here, I want to kill you these days." ”

The sister and brother have grown up in Zhuangzi since they were children, and they can be said to have grown up dependent on each other, and their relationship is far closer than that of other sisters and brothers, so Xiao Wenyao is happy, he has already lifted the quilt, turned over and is about to go to the ground.

The Yang family on the side hurriedly stopped and said worriedly: "Wen Yao, lie down quickly, what should I do if I catch a cold, you just need to be obedient, and my aunt will tell you a story at night." ”

Stopping his son, Yang looked back at Xiao Jinxuan again, and said in a dissatisfied tone: "Your brother who provoked him as soon as he came was restless, go and roast the fire, and take away the cold on his body, Wen Yao can't stand the cold now." ”

Xiao Jinxuan opened her mouth, but after all, she didn't speak, and silently walked to the charcoal basin on the side, roasting the fire as she said, her body was warm, but her heart couldn't be warmed.

Zhuzi looked at Xiao Jinxuan, her face was full of loneliness, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly said: "Auntie, this young lady came to see Young Master Yao, and specially made corn soup and radish rolls. ”

After hearing this, Yang's brows furrowed even deeper, and he said in a cold tone: "I told you that you didn't have to come over, why did you come with food, your brother doesn't lack anything, take it back." ”

Xiao Jinxuan, who was stretching out her hand to roast the fire, heard this, her hands shook violently, and the injured look in her eyes flashed, but in an instant, she became calm again.

But Xiao Wenyao on the side couldn't listen to it anymore, took Yang's hand, and said angrily: "Auntie, don't say it, in my eyes, any delicacies from the mountains and seas are not as delicious as the things made by my sister." ”

Sometimes, Xiao Wenyao can't understand why his mother's heart is so biased, every time the Yang family blames Xiao Jinxuan because of him, he will feel guilty in his heart, and even think, if it weren't for him, would the Yang family not treat his sister like this.

After a pause, Xiao Wenyao continued to ease the atmosphere: "Sister, how are you doing this time, no one in the house is bullying you." ”

He hasn't forgotten his sister, who used to be kind and weak, for fear of returning to Yangzhou and being bullied.

Who knows, before Xiao Jinxuan could speak, Yang snorted and said, "Bully? Your sister is amazing now, the whole Yangzhou is spreading, this Xiao Mansion has a fourth lady who is proficient in piano music, and even the daughter of Yin in the Mansion can't compare, I'm right, Jinxuan. ”

Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath, squeezed out a smile, and then said softly, "Mother, you listen to me explain to you." ”

But Yang glanced at her and continued: "Not only can you play the pipa, but I also heard that you went to the Song Mansion and personally pointed out the Yuanning County Lord, the upside-down verses, Jinxuan, you didn't even tell me if you were literate, you really hid it." ”

Xiao Jinxuan smiled bitterly in her heart, yes, she didn't know it originally, but now she can't explain it, can she tell Yang that these things were learned in her previous life, even if she said it, Yang would think that she was deliberately carrying it, and she was even more angry.

So Xiao Jinxuan just walked to Yang's side, poured a cup of tea, gently handed it to the other party and said, "Mother, don't be angry first, I'll explain it to you, okay." ”

Yang, who has always been quiet, was obviously really annoyed, and reached out and directly waved the teacup handed by Xiao Jinxuan to the ground.

The whole person stood up and said sharply: "You are a rebel girl, who allowed you to learn these things, a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, I refuse to let you read, and I also hope that you will live a simpler life in order to save your life." Now you are majestic, but how many people are staring at you, you will kill our mother and daughter, do you know? ”

The biological mother is so angry, that is the child's is not, no matter what Yang's words, how painful Xiao Jinxuan's heart was, she still knelt on the ground at the first time, let the tea spilled on her body, soak her dress, and did not wipe it.

After the reprimand, the fire in Yang's heart was almost gone, so he sat down and said, "Say, who did you learn these things from." ”

After Xiao Jinxuan came back from the Song Mansion that day, she knew that she needed a suitable excuse to prevaricate these things, otherwise it would be a trouble sooner or later.

Therefore, when I saw her, I immediately said without a trace of hesitation: "When I was on Meizhuang, my daughter went into the mountains one day to collect firewood, and accidentally saved an old woman, it turned out that this mother-in-law lived in the mountains, so my daughter knew her. ”

Looking up at Yang's reaction, and seeing that the other party was not angry, Xiao Jinxuan continued: "Once I went to find this mother-in-law again and found that she was playing the pipa, and she saw that I was fascinated by it, so she taught me how to play. ”

Yang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Then you can read and write, and this old woman taught you." ”

Nodding, Xiao Jinxuan replied: "That's right, this mother-in-law has a lot of music scores, and when she wanted to teach me, she found that I couldn't read, so she took the time to teach me to read." ”

Xiao Jinxuan's words were naturally made up, but she was not afraid of others to check them, because when she was six years old, she did save an old woman, and she really lived in the mountains and forests behind Meizhuang.

Every time she was instructed by Mother Bai to chop wood, she would go to see the mother-in-law, but when she was ten years old, the mother-in-law died, leaving only an empty hut there.

Yang stared at Xiao Jinxuan and looked at it carefully for a long time, but the daughter in front of her was so calm from beginning to end, and she couldn't see the slightest trace of lying.

There was a sudden upset of uneasiness in her heart, I don't know when, Yang felt that she couldn't understand this daughter who had been raised by her side since she was a child, just like now, it was difficult for her to distinguish whether the other party's words were true or false.

This child is only eleven years old, if he is older, how deep this heart should be, Yang doesn't even want to think about it.

The more she thought about it, the more distant Yang's eyes became when she looked at Xiao Jinxuan, and she was silent for a while before she said coldly: "Get up, go back if you have nothing to do, your brother in the province will give you the sickness." ”

Hearing that the Yang family had ordered the eviction, Xiao Jinxuan nodded silently, then got up and whispered: "Okay, then Brother Yao will bother my aunt to bother, and Jinxuan will retire first." ”

After speaking, she glanced at Xiao Wenyao, looked at the other party with a nervous look on her face, she shook her head faintly, gave her brother a look not to worry about her, and then left the room silently.

On the way back, neither the master nor the servant spoke, Xiao Jinxuan was in a low mood, but Zhuzi didn't know how to comfort her, for fear that she would say the wrong thing and make her own lady even more sad.

Zhuzi was actually quite angry in her heart, she really couldn't understand how this Aunt Yang's heart was biased like this.

Miss is also her own daughter, not to mention caring, she has followed Xiao Jinxuan for a few months, but she has not seen this Yang, and she has been kind to her young lady.

The bamboo club signed a deed to make a maid ring because her biological mother died, and her father married a stepmother, and after the stepmother had a child in a hurry, she always wanted to give her away.

Bamboo also has an idea, she thought, instead of being trafficked by her stepmother, it is better to find a family to be a maid ring, at least she can leave a clean body and marry a good family in the future, so she came to Xiao Mansion.

But now that Zhuzi looks at this Yang family, she feels that this mother-in-law is even more excessive than her stepmother, at least her stepmother can pretend in front of her father.

And Miss, the mother-in-law, doesn't care about it at all, and has to reprimand and punish at every turn, it's really an outsider who looks at her, and she is angry.

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable Bamboo became, and finally couldn't help but open my mouth: "Miss, if you want to be uncomfortable, cry out, how can my aunt say that about you, that day in the Song Mansion, how much the county lord bullied, my aunt didn't care about a word, and complained that you shouldn't be in the limelight, did you be bullied, so you should be called." ”

Bamboo grew up in the countryside, and she doesn't beat around the bush when she speaks, knowing that she shouldn't say that because of her identity, she just can't help it.

Xiao Jinxuan stopped, glanced back at the bamboo, sighed and said: "Forget it this time, don't say it in the future, how she is my biological mother, you are my maid, if this is heard by someone with a heart, it should be thought that I am resentful, so I connived at the nonsense of the people around me." ”

Bamboo stuck out his tongue, and knew that he had lost his words, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave has written it down, but Miss, I really feel wronged for you." ”

has been by Xiao Jinxuan's side for more than a month, although this young lady has a cold temperament, she is actually an excellent person to get along with, and she has no young lady's temper, and she takes care of her in everything.

When she went to the Song Mansion that day, the second lady ridiculed her for not being able to get on the stage, as a young lady, she was originally a slave and maid who lost face, and the other party should scold her.

But Xiao Jinxuan stood up to speak for her, although it was not a big deal, but Zhuzi was really moved, and felt that it was his blessing to be able to follow such a master.

So that day, the county lord said that he wanted to slap Xiao Jinxuan's mouth, even if she was afraid of death, she also stood up.

And now she is also in her heart, feeling sorry for Xiao Jinxuan, and feels that she is so pitiful to be such a mother.

Sighing again, Xiao Jinxuan was not too cold, so she simply sat down on the corridor, and then said softly: "You don't complain about me, in fact, my aunt will treat me like this, there is a reason, I have never blamed her." ”
