At that time, Shen Ruoxiao was about four or five years old, and he was very curious about this Bodhisattva statue, so he pestered Mrs. Shen and turned her hands and feet.

"Auntie, who is this beautiful sister? How can you be as tall as Xiao'er? ”

"This is a statue of the Bodhisattva that my mother asked for you."

"Bodhisattva statue? What do you do? ”

Mrs. Shen always gently touched her head and patiently explained to her.

"Xiao Er, this Bodhisattva is to bless Xiao Er with peace and happiness in the future."

At that time, she naively thought that this beautiful sister would always accompany her for the rest of her life!

But one day, her beautiful sister disappeared, and she searched for a whole day.

It wasn't until it was dark that she found it in the alley at the back door of the house.

At that time, the Bodhisattva was lying in a garbage heap, broken and scattered, and there were all over the ground.

Seeing this, his eyes were red, and he squatted beside the garbage heap with the Bodhisattva statue in his arms, crying very much.

"Who is it? Who broke the beautiful sister that A-Niang gave me? ”

And Shen Ruohan, who was secretly standing at the corner of the back door, had a wicked smile on his face.

After a while, Shen Ruohan's mother-in-law, Liu, also walked out and sneered gloatingly: "Yo! Isn't this a girl? What are you doing in this garbage heap? ”

Shen Ruoxiao wiped her tears, turned her head and pointed to the broken pieces on the ground, "Aunt Liu, someone has damaged Xiao'er's beautiful sister." ”

"If it's broken, it's broken! If it weren't for your mother being so stubborn, this jade bodhisattva wouldn't have broken, but it's a pity that it's a tael of silver! ”

“？”

Shen Ruoxiao looked confused, she didn't understand Liu's words, she only cared about being sad.

Then, Liu Shi took Shen Ruoxiao Xu because he was bored, and after a while of mockery, he entered the house.

The night wind in the back alley was whistling, and Shen Ruoxiao's thin figure was swaying in the night wind.

The prime minister's mansion exploded, because of the loss of the girl.

The house was brightly lit, and there were calls everywhere, and it was about the third watch before someone discovered Shen Ruoxiao's traces.

"Miss Yan is in the back alley, come on!"

Mrs. Shen was the most anxious, wearing a undershirt, no matter how cold it was, when she heard the shouting, she carried a lamp and looked for it.

As soon as she found the entrance of the alley, she saw Shen Ruoxiao's crumbling body falling straight back.

She hurriedly ran over, and she didn't care at all about the shoes that ran off her feet, she hugged Shen Ruoxiao.

"Xiao'er, mother's Xiao'er, are you okay?"

Shen Ruoxiao's little hands trembled, and she picked up a few pieces of the broken Bodhisattva and put them on her small dress.

"Ah Niang ......"

After she glanced at Mrs. Shen weakly, her eyes were dark, her body was weak, and she was frozen in the back alley.

When she gradually woke up, she saw that A-Niang's blurred tears were anxious in her eyes.

Shen Ruoxiao raised his little hand and wiped it on Mrs. Shen's face.

"Auntie, don't cry!"

Mrs. Shen picked her up and held her tightly in her arms.

"Xiao'er, you scared A-Niang to death, how did you run to the back alley?"

Shen Ruoxiao sobbed weakly twice, and spread out the pieces in his arms.

"Auntie, the beautiful sister was smashed."

Mrs. Shen didn't look at the jade bodhisattva, she just held her in her arms vigorously, rubbing her thin shoulders with both hands.

"Don't get in the way, as long as Xiao'er is fine, A-Niang will be relieved."

As she spoke, she was picked up by A-Niang, wrapped in her arms and returned to the room.

In the room, Shen Ruoxiao's little face was still full of tears, and his little hands were tightly clutching his coat pockets.

"A-Niang, there will be no beautiful sister to accompany Xiao'er in the future."

"It's okay, I have my mother with Xiao'er!"

"Yes...... But that was given to Xiao Er by her mother! ”

A-Niang held her in her arms, covered her in the quilt, and shook and coaxed.

"Xiao'er doesn't cry, A-Niang will show you something else."

Saying that, Shen Ruixiao's mother reached out and dragged out a golden silk nanmu box under the bed.

The box is square and dark red, and it is engraved with a relief-like peony picture.

The grooves of the peony are evenly filled with gold juice, and the golden yellow is very noble.

The Nanmu box was opened, and a refreshing fragrance slowly emanated.

At that time, Shen Ruoxiao stared at the box in surprise, and at that moment she temporarily forgot the grief of losing her beautiful sister.

She wiped the corners of her eyes twice, and finally burst into laughter.

"Auntie, this box is so fragrant! Xiao Er suddenly felt less sad. ”

Mrs. Shen smiled softly, rubbing her cheeks against her small forehead.

"Xiao'er, this fragrance is not from the box!"

"Hey, it's not a box, what is it?"

Mrs. Shen hooked her little Qiong's nose and pointed to a piece of wood lying quietly in the box with a mysterious expression.

"It's this fast agarwood." Chase Yo Literature

Mrs. Shen took out a brown piece of wood from the box, which was shaped like a small pillow.

She handed it to Shen Ruoxiao, and her fingers lightly swiped over it.

"This thing is for Xiao Er's pillow, it can help you sleep peacefully and dreamlessly, does Xiao Er like it?"

"Like, like!"

Shen Ruoxiao nodded again and again, showing a smile, holding an agarwood pillow, leaning crookedly on Mrs. Shen's arms, but her big eyes kept glancing at the contents of the box.

Suddenly, a shining Four Treasures of the Study Room attracted her attention, Shen Ruoxiao crawled over curiously, and grabbed a brush.

"A-Niang, this is very interesting, how can it still shine?"

Mrs. Shen just touched her head dotingly, took the brush in her hand, and gently rubbed it on the brush with her fingertips.

"The barrel of this brush is made of jade called candle firefly, it can shine at night, and you don't need a palm lamp to write with it at night, Xiao Er likes it."

Shen Ruoxiao's eyes were bright, the corners of his mouth rose unconsciously, and he couldn't put it down while holding the brush.

"Ah Niang, Xiao Er likes it," she was happy in her heart, and she also learned to rub the tip of the pen with her fingers.

"Yike...... This tip is so smooth, just like A-Niang's hair. ”

Shen Ruoxiao didn't know how funny this was to say, so Mrs. Shen wrapped her in her arms and kissed her.

"How can Auntie's hair be as good as you say? The hair on this tip is a wolf hair, a purebred white wolf hair, and its hair is much more precious than A-Niang's. ”

"Really?"

"That's nature, this white wolf has pure fur, no miscellaneous hair, and lives in the extremely cold snowy region, which is not usually seen."

Shen Ruoxiao had no idea of the preciousness of these things at that time, she pouted and wrapped her arms around Mrs. Shen's neck.

"I don't care, in Xiao Er's eyes, A-Niang's hair is the most truly precious!"

"Xiao'er will make her mother happy!"

Unable to resist her, Mrs. Shen had to admit defeat, and then held her in her arms and counted the treasures in the box for her one by one.

Until late at night, she was drowsy, and she still vaguely remembered that Ah Niang kissed her little forehead and said: "Xiao'er, my mother collected the best things in this world for you to make a dowry, and I wish you a happy and carefree life." ”

The next day, Shen Ruoxiao got up to greet his grandmother as usual, and accidentally overheard the conversation in the house when he entered the door.

Liu's voice was hoarse and whimpered, "Ancestor, you have to be the master of the concubine, the eldest lady spent a lot of money to carve the jade bodhisattva for the concubine, and the concubine just wanted to save some dowry for Han'er, so she didn't deliberately damage the jade bodhisattva, but Xiangye blamed the concubine for this." ”

The old ancestor in the house just sighed and said: "That's it, it's just a statue of a Bodhisattva, there is a Bodhisattva in my heart, and I don't care if these statues are not like it, I will tell Xiangye when I go back, don't blame you." ”

"Thank you for your understanding!"

It was she standing by the door frame, and she caught a glimpse of Shen Ruohan standing behind Liu's skirt, and she was grimacing at her with a smug look.

Suddenly, Shen Ruoxiao, who was standing in the room, woke up from her memories violently, she touched her moist cheeks, and her heart was sour.

It turned out that from that time on, A-Niang was worried about saving a dowry for her.

And the jade bodhisattva turned out to be smashed by the Liu family.

Shen Ruoxiao wiped away the tears on his face, and after calming down, he found the box in a compartment in the middle.

The box is still the same Nanmu box, but after years, the surface of the box has fallen dust.

This box has not been opened since she was carried into King Hao's mansion with her, no wonder the dust is so heavy.

Shen Ruoxiao found an old shirt and pulled it hard, and the shirt was torn into pieces of cloth.

She rolled up her sleeves and wiped the box up and down, left and right with her old clothes.

It wasn't until the box revealed its original dark red color that she smiled warmly with relief.

This is what A-Niang saved for her all her life, and she has to keep it well.

It is full of her memories, if it weren't for Dabai, she wouldn't have used A-Niang's mind.

Shen Ruoxiao carefully opened the lock on the box and gently lifted the lid of the box.

Belch......

What are these? It wasn't at all the same as she remembered.

I saw that the boxes were filled with some low-quality gold and silver jewelry, and even some faded fakes.

The paint is peeling, the broken Ruyi, the faded coral bracelet, and the pearl necklace like a crooked melon and cracked date.

Shen Ruoxiao's pupils shrank, the wings of his nose expanded slightly, and his chest began to rise and fall.

She clearly remembered that all the treasures here were saved for her by A-Niang, how did it become these?

Shen Ruoxiao was full of doubts, she reached out and flipped through the box twice, but her fingers were stunned when she first touched the fake jewelry.

Why is this so hard down here?

The screeching sound of her fingernails colliding with an unknown object made her feel bad to the hard touch.

She stirred the box twice, grabbed the inferior jewels, and lifted them aside, and the bottom of the box was full of black and inky pebbles and some worthless puppets.

How so?

Shen Ruoxiao's eyes were gloomy, he straightened his waist, stood in front of the box with his waist crossed, and stared for a long time.

This dowry box, she remembered that on the day of the wedding, Shen Ruohan and her mother, Mrs. Liu, were ordered.

She remembered the situation that day vividly, the Liu family sent someone to send a wedding robe, and Shen Ruoxiao had no intention of wearing it.

Liu's excuse was to let Shen Ruohan talk to her to divert her attention.

No wonder Shen Ruohan chatted with her very enthusiastically that day, it turned out that the drunkard didn't mean to drink!

These two guys must have seen it and changed the pillars for her.

Shen Ruoxiao squinted her eyes, her eyes were full of anger, her clenched fists and her bones turned white.

She wrote down this account, and in two days she will settle the settlement with their mother and daughter.

Having made up his mind, Shen Ruoxiao rested early.
