A year has passed in a blink of an eye, although my sister-in-law and my brother have returned to Suzhou, they do not live in the same house as us, but fortunately, my brother's mansion is only one street away from Shen's mansion, and they often come back to eat together, and I am also fortunate to witness the meat. The growth of the dango.

Of course, what surprised me even more was the second sister.

The second sister after the end of the line looks like a different person at first glance, completely draws a long one, and all the flesh on the body disappears without a trace, if you don't speak, don't run or jump, she looks like a charming and lovely girl, her mouth, nose and face are very similar to her mother's parents, and her eyes are exactly the same as her father, and the second sister looks more heroic than her mother.

Of course, all this is limited to my sister not running or jumping - my sister's temperament has matured a lot, but she still loves horseback riding and archery, and she only hates that she is not able to play crazy like she did when she was a child, and it is said that she is very uncomfortable. However, fortunately, the second sister has matured, at least she went outside to know how to learn from everyone's ladies, and I was surprised to find out that the second sister can actually order tea and burn incense!

I have met more and more with Zhao Gongzi Zhao Yichen, and it should be said that it is me and my second sister who have more and more opportunities to meet Zhao Yichen.

Dad invited a very knowledgeable gentleman to our mansion, and my mother invited my friends who have not yet taken the test to listen to the school, Zhao Yichen is sixteen this year, just passed the township examination, it is said that he also wants to impact next year's examination, so it is logical to come to our house every day to listen to the school.

The second sister was not with us, but my father also found a very good grandmother for her to teach her. The place where Mama taught the second sister was in the small courtyard next to our classroom, and every time the second sister played the piano next door, the jerky piano sound would faintly come to our side.

In order to hear more clearly, Zhao Yichen specially changed positions with a son-in-law and moved closer to the window.

"Your second sister is a smart person," Zhao Yichen said to me, "her piano is getting better and better." ”

Every now and then, I couldn't help but roll my eyes: "Brother Zhao beware that if you can't get famous next year, my sister won't allow it to you!" ”

Zhao Yichen didn't care, "I will definitely be able to get in." ”

I admit that he was a very intelligent man, and his writings were praised even by his husband.

The following year, the list was released in Beijing, and Zhao Yichen had not returned home, and the news had already come back - the fifth place in the three lists, which was a rare talent among the people in the same year.

Five months later, Zhao Yichen, who passed the palace examination and entered the official register, finally returned to his hometown in style. The Zhao family held a banquet to celebrate their son's success, but the second sister was caught in the cold and couldn't go to the banquet to congratulate.

It was only years later that I heard from my little niece about her mother and father at that time—

That night, the second sister was confined to the house. She naturally has no wind and cold, but for some reason she just doesn't want to go to Zhao's house, and she doesn't want to see Zhao Yichen like this. This kind of affection is not disgust, but when I think of that scene, I feel unwilling.

At this time, it was the height of summer, and I couldn't sleep at all in the hot night, and the second sister tossed and turned all night, and her heart was even more depressed. But I don't know when I suddenly heard a soft sound of "bang bang" from the window edge of the room - the second sister's first thought was that there was a thief, but she continued to listen, only to hear the voice was extremely soft, knocked a few times and then stopped and waited quietly, she did not answer, and the voice sounded softly again.

"Who?" The second sister walked over boldly, carrying a thin-necked vase in her hand, and retreated the window.

Standing outside the window was Zhao Yichen - who was using a clumsy posture to avoid the Xuan window that suddenly popped out, holding a few bags of things tightly in his arms, and the second sister noticed that there was a soup medicine jar inside, and it didn't spill out at all.

"You, Younan......" Zhao Yichen obviously didn't expect it, so he had to smile awkwardly.

The anger in the second sister's heart dissipated immediately, but her face turned red, and she said stiffly: "How did you get in!?" ”

"Yu'er opened the door for me," Zhao Yichen deceived the second sister - I didn't help him do such a thing, "Aren't you infected with the wind cold, I'm afraid it's hot in the middle of summer, I went to help you find some medicine after eating the banquet, it just so happened that I brought back a lot of good things from Beijing to clear the heat, and I asked my kitchen to cook it and bring it to you, how about you taste it?" ”

“……”

I haven't seen him for a long time, and when we meet again, this kid is so familiar with bringing some food for himself. No matter how the second sister is, she can't help but burst out laughing: "You're a fool!?" I really don't know how you got into Jinshi! ”

Despite her hard mouth, the second sister obediently ate the things that Zhao Yichen brought. She didn't let him in, and Zhao Yichen didn't have any dissatisfaction, the two were separated by a window, she buried her head in eating, and he held his chin and looked at the person in front of him.

At that time, the second sister suddenly noticed that he seemed to always have such a look, like a spring breeze, no matter what he did, he revealed the tenderness in his bones.

Later, the second sister and Zhao Yichen got married. The mother said that the second sister has lived comfortably all her life, has never been restrained, and she must not suffer a grievance when she gets married in the future, and her father has red eyes and forced Zhao Yichen to swear to the three halal people: In the future, she will never do anything to spoil her concubine and kill her wife.

Father also swore to Zhao Yichen that his brother would treat his second sister well, and his brother's daughter-in-law must also treat her well.

My eldest brother and I sent my sister to get married, and the second sister, who was like a wild boy on weekdays, put on a wedding dress, but also lost the wild spirit of Su Ri, she was blocked by the hijab, and walked like a peony swaying in the wind. Zhao Yichen smiled happily, and the friends on the side coaxed me so much that I could hardly hear any other sounds, only to see him pick up the second sister in the distance, and leave in the cheers of everyone.

I turned my head to look at my father.

Daddy is old, he is still a high-spirited middle-aged man in my memory, with a handsome face that is not tormented by the years, but at the moment after he saw his second sister turn away, under the light of the red candles in the sky, I saw the whiteness of Daddy's sideburns.

It was only then that my mother told me about it on her sickbed.

Daddy's eyes were exactly the same as those of the grandmother who had passed away a long time ago, and it was only at the second sister that Daddy once again recalled what these eyes looked like on a woman's body.

Mother said that my father was a perverse man all his life, and everyone said that he relied on love and trust to be lawless, but no one knew that he buried everything in the wind.

Mother said that my father had been paying for the Shen family all his life, and it was the Shen family who pulled my grandmother into the grave.

Mother said that you should be like your father, you can't let yourself live in hatred all your life, your father is smart, he chooses to forget hatred, and welcome his new future.

But my father always remembered Su Juan and Shen Qi that year, this scar has always been buried in my heart, and it was finally completely healed at the moment when my second sister got married.
