Jin'er has no father.

Since I was born, Qiu Feng has taken her with her, Jin'er is three years older than me, and she uses this to imagine expelling me in everything.

She appeared like she appeared out of thin air, I had never met her father, I didn't even know who her father was, maybe Jin'er was one foot six or five tall when she was young, and it was her father who inherited her, because Qiu Feng was only one head taller than me.

I once had a good question, but no one in the Gu family revealed too much about Jin'er to me, this matter is not clear, who sealed it?

Banjinghuain is the same age as me. The year I was born was the year of the establishment of Banjinghuain.

Ah Mao Chang takes care of everything in an orderly manner, and he also became the head servant of the Gu family in the year I was born.

Speaking of Ah Mao Chang, he turned out to be a hostage taken by the "Five Tigers Gang", Ah Mao Chang's original name was Kitahara Nagahiko, and he was a Japanese. That year, the Gu family saved him, and after selling himself to the Gu family for the sake of kindness, he changed his name to Ah Mao Chang, which means "the moon grows hair, and there is rain in the Ming Dynasty".

Su Wei once told me that he had just finished his studies that year, and he came to Ziyang to follow the business development of businessmen.

That year, the three major families were sacked by the "Five Tigers Gang", and under the leadership of the Wang family's royal father, the gangs were broken, and the "Five Tigers" were exterminated by four, leaving one to kill himself. In the gang's house, a "little black jail" was accidentally found.

Look at this place, it should have been a prison before, there was no one in every prison, covered with cobwebs, it seems that this place has been abandoned for a long time, it is very hidden, it is estimated that the "five tigers" kidnapped the jailer and let all the prisoners go.

Legend has it that they have been taking "hatred of the rich and hating the day" as their daily task for generations, as long as they rob and kill one person, they will get a badge with the symbol of the axe, and they can also get a fifty-fifty share of the reward from the property returned from hijacking.

At that time, the three major families were stared at, and each wanted to complete the "first task".

At that time, underground transactions were circulating, as long as you killed the leaders of the three major families, you would directly become the next gang leader, and there was no need to campaign and collect badges.

However, the close service of the family is so burly, everyone has undergone ten layers of physical training before they can be close servants, and a gang is just a rough person who can only use knives and no brains, how many people have entered the Half-Jinghua Courtyard unknown death.

When he found Ah Mao Chang, he was trapped in this "little black prison", and the people who were with him were all Japanese, and everyone else was dying, only Ah Mao Chang kept his last breath, perhaps, this is a kind of fate.

There were a total of five Japanese inside, who were secretly lynched by the "Five Tigers", their hands were fastened with straw ropes, and they were hung up by hanging beams.

Each had different injuries on their bodies, but they were all scabbed over and festering and oozing yellow fluid. Looking at the injury, it is like being imprinted on the skin with a scorched iron, and it is also like using some black charcoal to burn the hair, and the scalp is almost burned off, and even the neck is wrapped in handcuffs and treated as a plaything in his hands. It was the horrific scene that Su Wei described to me, and I listened to it all night and had nightmares.

One of them was Amao Cho, whose gray-blue kimono was also whipped out of shape and covered with torn red marks. As the waiter rinsed him, the tub was full of red and black blood, and a dozen buckets were exchanged back and forth, and outside the door, he tore and shouted in his own dialect, and although we could not understand his cry, we could not imagine how much pain he was enduring it.

Now, he is gradually sinicized and has learned to communicate with us.

Even though he seems like nothing now, I always see him sitting alone at night by the well, looking up at the moon in the distance. I once asked him, why don't you go home? He just described to me lightly that his family was all killed in the earthquake and could not go back, and from then on, Banjinghuayuan was my home.

It was surrounded by gray walls that did not see light, there were no windows, there was no sunlight all day, and the walls were stamped with blood splattered from assassination. There was a small table in front of him, and the vegetable juice sprinkled on it had become moldy, and a few little rats might have eaten spoiled food and died on this vegetable pile, and it turned into dried rats and emitted a foul smell, which caused discomfort, and Su Wei was pregnant with me at that time, and she almost fainted from the smell.

To me, Ah Mao Chang is not only a servant, he is my calligrapher, but also my believer.

Jin'er's life experience, he seems to know a thing or two.

As usual, he cleared the nerve-wracking ladder of the water tank, and found a red koi fish that had passed away, its bulging belly facing up and floating on the water.

When he saw this, he immediately twisted the round hole with his pliers, and the covering board had to be drilled back and forth ten times before it could be removed.

At this time, Qiu Feng hugged Jin'er, she didn't know what was in her hand, she quickly walked downstairs, accidentally stepped on the board that Ah Mao Chang took off, one foot fell into the glass tank, and trampled on all the fish, the clothes she was holding in her hand fell to the ground, Ah Mao Chang saw that these were all dolls' small belly pockets. According to Qiu Feng's character, this incident would definitely make Ah Mao lose this errand, but she actually concealed it.

She only said to Ah Mao: "If you dare to say it, I will let you not know how you died." ”

So, she tucked her clothes into her own clothes and, despite her soaked shoes, hurried to the door. Ah Changmao lowered his head and looked out of the door with his spare eyes, at this time, the Shen father of the Shen family was waiting at the outer door, and there was Jinyu standing next to him. Jinyu looked around, looking very anxious.

This incident was very profound to Ah Maochang, because he hurriedly ran outside to buy fish that day, and these koi fish also used his year's salary.

Later, when I was old enough to be sensible, he told me about it. But I really can't understand, why did Qiu Feng take his clothes out? Is this Jin'er's clothing? Why is Jinyu with Shen's father? What are they hiding?

I found the most suitable opportunity, and I thought, I should sneak into Qiu Feng's room to find out, and I must find the clothes she was hiding that year.

Tonight, a banquet will be held in Banjinghuayuan.

Early in the morning, I was summoned by Su Wei to her bedroom.

Waiting for people to push open the door, a brocade dress with a unique design hangs on the shelf, its background color is Yang Fei color, there is a finely carved three-dimensional phoenix in the position of the skirt, the phoenix's feathers are cyan superimposed indigo, I don't know what kind of silk thread is used, the phoenix tail actually has a lustrous sense of gold embroidery, the needle is unique, extremely meticulous.

"Xixi, this is your banquet attire, when the Seven Monarchs finish serving you and changing your clothes, you will follow me to the banquet." Su Wei said to me in front of the mirror while touching up her makeup.

"Why are you so shocked?" Su Wei put down the rouge in her hand and turned to look at me.

I stood here motionless.

"It doesn't have to be so solemn, I've always been simple." I stepped forward and stroked the dress.

"This is made by Grandpa." Su Wei got up.

"Grandpa? It can't be, right? I sat down and poured myself a cup of tea very unnaturally.

"Tonight, the Shen family and the Wang family will dress up to attend, it is rumored that their sons are all talented and talented, and they have both ability and political integrity, you can't attend as usual, don't be rude." Su Wei picked up the gorgeous dress and measured it on me.

I looked at myself in front of the mirror and felt flashy.

"What does their son have to do with me?" I asked.

"Now is the time to prepare for the family marriage." Su Wei straightened her sleeves.

"What? I'm underage. I lowered my head and blushed.

"Okay, Qijun, hurry up and wait for a change of clothes to see if it's suitable." Su Wei said to the servant.

"Yes, ma'am."

Famous local singers have received invitations to come to perform, and they are all enchanting, wearing magenta tight-fitting costumes, which is just like Wang Xiyan's "Old Woman and Uncle": "You have to buy two yuan eggs, and you have to buy some magenta".

They wore gold ornaments on their heads, dressed in fancy clothes, and the makeup on their faces was as white as snow, like the flour that jasmine often used to make buns, and the rouge was more natural, like the shyness of tanning red under the sun. This phoenix song and dance is also a particularly high-level feast.

The male nobles who were invited to the banquet were even more praised, salivating, and no one could pick the food on the table, and they stopped their chopsticks after eating a third of the way, and they were all attracted by the beauty of this beauty. I don't think it's a national beauty, it's much inferior to the four beauties.

Among them, there is one of the most famous singers in Ziyang called "Qianying Under the Moon", she starred in the finale tonight, her name seems to be Ning Erfei, she does look Peugeot, under the apricot veil, I can still vaguely see her peach and apricot face, smiling at us.

Sitting across from me is the Shen family and the Wang family that Su Wei said?

"Xixi, take a closer look, sitting on the right hand side opposite us is the only son of the Shen family, Shen Yaze, his painting skills are very good, the clothes and ornaments of the Gu family are all designed by the son of the Shen family, and your clothes are handled by him." Su Wei covered her face with a fan and leaned over to me.

At this time, Shen Yaze looked at me and smiled at me, and I also met the smile.

Shen Yaze, it turned out to be him, such a unique display of painting skills, it is really amazing to be able to paint a phoenix with different color levels with a pigment, the last time I saw him picking Su Wei's roses in the yard outside the window, I thought he was a flower thief, is the secret of this color material is to use this rose to make color? Looking at it from a distance, under his thick eyebrows, these delicate facial features really make people feel fresh and handsome.

"Sitting next to him is the second son of the Wang family, Wang Youyan, he appreciates jewelry, and I often let him appreciate it for me." Su Wei looked over there.

Isn't he the one who is always next to Shen Yaze? I always thought he was a scholar, he was not gentle at all, but a little uninhibited, it seems that people are not good-looking, I will learn this jewelry appreciation from him in the future.

"The one sitting next to Wang Youchen is his brother, Wang Younian, my brother's ambition is not so big, don't think about this." Su Wei put the fan down.

"I don't think about it, mother, you still take beauty seriously." I said with a smile to Su Wei.

"Xining, the sons on the other side are very good, you can't even memorize the "Three Character Classic", and you have been punished for copying so many times, do you really remember it?" Ryu frowned, picked up a small glass of wine and took a sip.

"I did my best, grandpa." I stood with my hands straight on my knees, clenching my knees.

"Ah Maochang, in the past few days, I have told Xining to memorize the "Three Character Classic". The law looked at Ah Maochang.

"Yes, sir." Mao Chang looked at me with his peripheral vision, and I smiled secretly. Ah Mao has grown up, and I have never been afraid of the problem of endorsement.

"You don't follow Jin'er at all, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, you can't do anything, this is what Miss looks like." Ryu stroked Jin'er's hair.

Taking advantage of the fact that the law was not paying attention, Jin'er quietly passed behind me and pinched my back hard, and I couldn't help but shout.

Everyone looked at me, and before I was about to explain, Su Wei covered my mouth, smiled and nodded to apologize to everyone: "It's rude, the little girl may have seen the bug." ”

"Mother?" I whispered to Suvi.

"Have you ever seen Jin'er pinch me?"

"You were bitten by a bug, not Jin'er." Su Wei motioned for me to stop talking.

Ah Mao patted me on the shoulder with his hand, signaling that I had to leave.

I almost forgot about today's business.

"Mother, I was bitten by a bug, I'll go back first." I whispered.

"Look at you, there's always something for you at this great dinner, go back quickly." The law heard my conversation with Su Wei and said to me.

Later, I left with Qijun in broken steps, and Ah Mao Chang followed.
