Chapter 1: Winter

Next Chapter

The snow is clear and the sun is shining. The inside and outside of the imperial city are covered in silver.

The children on the long street are chasing me with red rock sugar gourds, carefree and simple. The woman standing not far away pursed her lips and chuckled, looking like their mother.

The people in the Baining Marquis's Mansion were in a hurry, and they were called around by Aunt Xu of the Lujia Courtyard.

Rong Changning looked at the direction of Lukayuan with cold eyes, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Mother went, she finally got what she wanted.

Aunt Xu of Lujia Courtyard couldn't wait to change the scene of the Hou Mansion, and even some rough maids and maids were replaced one after another, in Rong Changning's view, she was more like reminding everyone in the house that now the person in charge of the family is no longer the former Mrs. Hou, but herself.

It is also like erasing a fact and washing away the traces left by her evil deeds.

"Auntie, how long am I going to stay in the Courtyard of the Clearing House? Now the second lady in the Wanqing courtyard can eat some decent things, and those of us who eat are either cold or leftovers, let alone use carbon fire to bake the house. Even if my aunt wants to make things difficult for the second miss, she can't take me with her, right? ”

The white shoes on the bluestone slab stopped, and Rong Changning vaguely heard the maid in his yard talking behind the rockery, and the other was Aunt Yao who was married to Aunt Xu in Lujia Courtyard.

"What do you mean by Aunt Troubled Second Miss? Do you think it's that simple to live at home? Everything should be saved, no longer the eldest lady and the second lady are provincial, do you want to save on the Hou Ye or the little son? Saying that, Aunt Yao showed a natural look: "Brainless, now the backyard is my aunt's business, and after the mourning period of the housemother, it is natural to be corrected." When you're done with what you need to do, your aunt will think about giving you a trip to Lugasain. Maybe I will send you to the little boy's yard, and you will be worried about the rich life when you become an aunt? ”

Hearing this, Rong Changning looked back at Xiao Dong, she didn't know that the people who served her were living like this, no wonder even the girl who was boiling water had begun to roll her eyes at herself recently.

Even though he heard them say such words, Rong Changning did not rush up to break it, but turned around and walked back to the courtyard from the corridor on the other side.

At this moment, the stove in his hand seemed a little hot, and Rong Changning quietly asked Xiao Dong beside him: "Why did you never say that?" ”

"Miss is too careful, that girl is just greedy for a good life in the courtyard, and our yard is not as poor as she said."

Rong Changning gritted his teeth, and his ears kept lingering with Aunt Yao's words 'The mourning period of the main mother has passed, and Aunt Xu wants to be corrected', and he couldn't help but give birth to a sentence of 'villain has a will' in his heart.

She is the second lady of Baining Houfu, and her mother is Princess Yonglu, the daughter of Emperor Zhao, the younger sister of the current saint, she never thought that in this small square courtyard, she would also go to this kind of day.

People say that the father has been immersed in the grief of losing his mother and can't extricate himself, so he doesn't often ask about the backyard, but in Rong Changning's eyes, if the father is really sad, he should take more care of the children left by his mother, instead of letting Aunt Xu and a pair of children under her knees be in the backyard.

Rong Changning's heart is more thorough than the snow falling from the eaves, and no one can point to the days to come, so he can only face it with the eldest sister and younger brother where his mother is.

Before he walked out of the corridor, he saw the eldest sister hurrying towards him, panting for breath on her forehead and giving birth to a white mist: "Changning!" Changning! Before he could stand firmly, he held Rong Changning's arm and walked back: "Hurry up...... Hurry up! ”

"What's wrong?"

Ah Ruo didn't know how to go to the backyard pond alone with Rong Yu of Lu Ka Yuan, but Rong Yu fell into the ice cave, and after being rescued, he didn't say that Ah Ruo wore a pair of shoes with red stripes when his mother was mourning and pushed him down the ice hole. My father angrily asked for family law and was fighting in the ancestral hall! ”

On the day of his mother's funeral, Rong Yu's upper did have two red lines, Rong Ruo was red-eyed on the spot, and took Rong Yu's collar and told him to take off his shoes and walk into the snow.

Although Rong Ruo's temper is a little short-tempered, his heart is as straight as his mother, and if he wants to kill anyone, he will go up with a knife and a gun, and he doesn't care about such a villain's behavior at all.

But it's because he's so straight that he's tricked into going to the pond and calculating, right?

Rong Changning threw the stove in his hand to his maid Xiaodong, and then pulled the eldest sister towards the ancestral hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Steward Yang was holding a solid staff to fall, Rong Changning pounced straight on Rong Ruo, and the sturdy staff fell on his back.

Rong Changning's eyes were blue and black with this cane, and the willow eyebrows were tightly carved together, and it took a long time to slow down.

Rong Ling knelt on the ground: "Father, you can't fight, Ah Ruo is only fourteen years old, he can't stand it!" This could not have been done by Arro at all. You know best what kind of child Ah Ruo is...... He has the same heart as his mother! ”

Rong Changning raised his eyes and saw Aunt Xu standing beside his father, and her crying and swollen peach blossom eyes showed great sadness: "If it is your mother's child, Lu'er is also my child!" There wasn't even a little maid around, could it be that he went crazy and had to jump off by himself?! ”

"Not even a little maid?" Rong Changning stood up and looked at Aunt Xu with humble eyes: "How was Rong Zhen rescued?" ”

"Isn't it that I'm desperately shouting to call people over?!"

"So Ah Ruo is so brainless? Attack my brother in my own backyard, if I do, I will definitely wait until the spring hunt in the northern suburbs to make him die in the wilderness and be eaten by wild beasts. ”

Hearing Rong Changning's words, Bai Ning Hou Rongchuan's expression instantly became fierce: "You came in just to teach your younger brother how to kill each other?" It's not even too late to say hello to me, a father? ”

Rong Changning got up and straightened his rabbit skin cloak, biting the corner of his mouth and looking at his father in anger: "Father is fine." ”

But he didn't want Rong Chuan to ask: "Do you think I'm okay?"

Rong Ruo, who was blocked by Rong Changning, suddenly laughed: "Second sister, get out of the way." ”

"Arro......"

"Get out of the way!" He stubbornly got up from the ground, knelt on the ground in a regular manner, and looked at his father in front of him with his waist straight: "It doesn't matter if my father wants to kill me, but what I haven't done is no!" And you! ”

Rong Ruoxu looked at Aunt Xu with tears in her eyes: "You'd better find a way to ask your father to beat me to death, otherwise I won't know if one day, I will really kill your son." ”

"Rongruo!" Rong Changning hurriedly snorted, interrupting his nonsense under his will.

"Master Hou." Behind her, Aunt Xu was helped to Rong Chuan in a heavy leather jacket, and her movements were as slow as a weak willow supporting the wind.

She grabbed Rong Chuan's sleeve and shook her head sincerely, as if she was frightened by Rong Ruo's words: "Forget it, Master Hou...... Never mind. ”

"It's just a pair of shoes! You hate your brother so much, and you want to kill him? Rong Chuan was so angry that his hands trembled, and in a hurry, he snatched the family law from Steward Yang's hand and slammed it according to Rong Ruo's back, and Rong Ruo was beaten and fell to the ground.

"Father!" Rong Changning knelt on the ground and grabbed the wooden staff: "It's just a pair of shoes?" The father thought that the children of the family could wear red shoes when the mother was mourning? Doing unfilial deeds? Even if you and I can bear it, what should outsiders think of the Hou Mansion when they see it? ”

"Yu'er has been punished as he deserves, and now it's him!" Rong Chuan pointed to Rong Ruo, who was wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth on the ground: "Your brother is unforgiving." He's your brother, isn't he? ”
