Chapter 1: Family Sacrifices

Next Chapter

In the early morning, as soon as the first birdsong sounded, Brother Xu Ying had already dressed and walked to the yard to play a set of five bird plays seriously. This is a habit she has adhered to since she was a child, and she has never fallen except when she is sick. The maiden woman who was waiting on the side had long been accustomed to seeing her, and when she finished her activities, she stepped forward and handed over the handkerchief hot water to tell her what to do in the day: "Erniang, Madame has instructed, you don't need to go to her side this morning to say hello, you will go directly to Caiping Pavilion with breakfast first." In the afternoon, Dr. Guo will come over to give you a pulse. ”

Brother Xu Ying responded, washed his face and combed his hair, and changed into a plain moon-white muslin dress, without applying fat powder, without wearing a head flower, only inserting two plain silver hairpins to avoid suspicion, and wearing a pair of simple earrings after thinking about it. Under the fence, no matter how good and considerate the adoptive parents and brothers are, they should also pay attention to what they should pay attention to.

Seeing this, the big girl Zi Hao, who was in charge of the fat powder jewelry and clothes, hurriedly took a flower and handed it over, and persuaded: "Erniang, you are too plain, this flower is the most suitable for your dress." Qingyu, the big girl in charge of personnel and money, interjected silently: "Erniang, breakfast is ready." ”

"Hmm." Brother Xu Ying also took advantage of the situation to get up and sit outside to eat. Qingyu waved her hand at Zi Hao, and Zi Wei put away the flowers, and went to clean up the dressing table and wardrobe without mentioning it.

After pouring less food, Brother Xu Ying rinsed his mouth and washed his hands, and seeing that the sky was almost dark, he got up and went out for a walk to eat. It was already late spring, and the flowers of the old cherry trees in the yard had already fallen, and the young fruits the size of fingertips with a slight yellow were hanging all over the branches. ”

Everyone responded in unison, and the stars sent her out of the door like a moon.

The mansion of the Xu family is extremely exquisite, she walks all the way, the strange stones beside the road are majestic, the wild chrysanthemums are full of flowers, flowers and trees and pavilions and pavilions contrast with each other, and there is a kind of graceful and elegant state. Caiping Pavilion is surrounded by water on three sides, only a green bamboo path is feasible, she walks along the road, suddenly a breeze blows, blowing the copper bell under the eaves of the corridor "jingling", then listen carefully for a moment, and say with a smile: "It's really good." ”

Someone caught up behind her in the mist, with a smile on the corner of his lips, and sighed in a low voice: "In a blink of an eye, it will be ten years." But it is Xu Fu, a partial branch of the Xu family, he is also dressed in a very plain robe, only a piece of green jade pendant is hung around his waist, his figure is thin and straight, his eyes are firm, and his appearance is very delicate, and there are three points similar to Brother Xu Ying's eyebrows, but it is a pity that he has white hair on his sideburns at a young age.

Brother Xu Ying looked back at Xu Fu and smiled, and saluted: "Fifth brother, I haven't seen you for a long time." After that, he motioned to Qingyu: "I forgot to bring the pair of shoes I made for my father, you go and bring them." ”

After Qingyu went, Xu Fu took a step forward and lowered his voice with concern: "Wenwen, are you okay?" I've been hanging on to you, just not coming to see you often. ”

Brother Xu Ying smiled sweetly and turned around to show him: "Brother, don't worry, I'm already fine." There was also a set of punches this morning. ”

Xu Fu saw that her face was pink, her eyes were bright and her lips were red, and there was some flesh on her small chin, so he put his mind at ease and said affectionately: "What kind of weird-looking fist of yours, don't say it and laugh at death." ”

Brother Xu Ying shouted in a low voice: "As long as you can strengthen your body, isn't it good?" ”

Xu Fu rarely saw his sister, full of joy, and he couldn't bear to make her unhappy, so he only said: "I just brought you some hairpin jewelry and clothing, and let people send them over, you can see if you like it." ”

Brother Xu Ying smiled: "As long as my brother gives me, I like it." He joked again: "You also save a little for my future sister-in-law, don't all cheap me." ”

"Aunt has it too, if you look at it, if she doesn't like it, remember to tell me." Xu Fu glanced at her again and again, full of guilt and couldn't speak. He was always sorry for her in that incident, but the blood feud of more than a dozen people in the Xiao family could not be avenged, so he could only try to find her a good relative to compensate her in the future.

While speaking, the two walked to the front of Caiping Pavilion, Brother Xu Ying was about to lift the curtain, the green bamboo curtain was lifted from the inside, Xu Zhi, the uncle of the Xu family, walked out steadily, and said casually with a little affection: "Why don't you come in quickly?" I've been waiting for you for a long time. My father was just asking if the fifth brother had arrived. ”

Xu Heng, the head of the Xu family, is a famous Confucian in the world, and the former Dayu Dynasty Mourning Emperor was enshrined as the emperor's teacher, and now Dahua is now respected as a scholar and a prince's teacher. Because Xu Heng suspected that he was usurping the throne and standing on his own, he was a rebellious minister and thief, and he was not willing to go out, but for the sake of the family, he could only accept this title, and he had to make plans and do his best, and then do a few things against his will to protect his family. How can he be aggrieved in his heart, and his health is not good, and he often complains about illness, but he is doing his best for his brother and sister.

Xu Fu's expression immediately became serious, and he straightened his clothes before entering the room. Xu Zhi went forward and guarded the only road leading to Caiping Pavilion tightly, and no one was allowed to approach.

There is an incense case in the middle of the hall of Caiping Pavilion, on which there are more than a dozen spirit cards of all sizes, Xu Heng, the head of the Xu family, and his wife Yao stood in front of the case in plain clothes, and when they entered, Xu Heng said solemnly: "Come here, today is the tenth anniversary of your parents, brothers and sisters, and the situation is forced to publicly pay tribute to your father and mother, so you can only hastily set up such an incense case, which is really wronged by them." Your brother and sister will keep this word in their hearts, and one day they will always be able to build a tomb and a shrine for your father and mother again! ”

Yao wiped his tears: "After waiting for many years of revenge, I finally got revenge, and my sister and brother-in-law can finally rest in peace." ”

Xu Fu's tears gushed out, and he didn't go to worship his parents' spiritual position first, but bowed down to Xu Heng and his wife together with Brother Xu Ying: "Thank you uncle and aunt for your great kindness!" If it weren't for my uncle and aunt, my brother and sister would have become bones on the side of the road! ”

Xu Heng and his wife hurriedly stepped forward to help his brother and sister respectively: "Don't talk about this! We are a family, not two families! ”

Yao wiped away Brother Xu Ying's tears and said with a smile: "No, Brother Ying is my biological daughter." ”

Brother Xu Ying immediately hugged Yao's arm, leaned his head up affectionately, and shouted in a low voice: "Mother." Born to me as a mother, save me, raise me, teach me to be you. ”

Yao Shi heard her words, remembered her thoughtfulness and cuteness in the past ten years, and couldn't help hugging her with relief, touching her cheek, and saying lovingly: "There are no more children who are considerate, sensible and lovely." ”

Seeing this, Xu Heng on the side also showed a bit of love on his face, and when he remembered something, he said to Xu Fu with a cold face and a serious face: "I know that you are not happy that I let go of the Cui family's women and children that day, but you need to know that if you destroy all the Cui family, what is the difference between your behavior and the old thief of the Cui family!" Now let them fall into the dust, and return everything they shouldn't deserve, even if it's for you and Brother Sakura's accumulation, you shouldn't pursue it anymore! ”

"My nephew didn't dare. In the past six months, I have not touched the Cui family. Xu Fu explained again and again, choked up and couldn't speak. If it weren't for the fact that Xu Heng and his wife, who were nothing more than cousins, helped each other, raised Brother Xu Ying's second daughter who died young, and arranged him to take care of the children of the Xu family, where could there be a place for his brothers and sisters in this troubled world? Not to mention that he can avenge more than ten members of the Xiao family and behead the shameless culprit. He is grateful and grateful, and he will never easily brush Xu Heng's will.

Xu Heng saw that he was full of sincerity, so he nodded and slowed down his expression: "You are good at everything, but you are extreme and stubborn, you have to change it, otherwise it will not be good for you in the future." Come, pay tribute to your father and mother. ”

Brother Xu Ying and Xu Fu thanked Xu Heng and his wife for their nurturing and support, knelt down in front of the spirits of their parents and brothers, and sincerely prayed.

Suddenly, I heard someone outside say coquettishly: "Isn't this uncle?" Why are you here alone? Brother Xu Ying listened carefully, but it was the lady Mao of the main room of the Xu family's third room.

Guo listened to Xu Zhi and said unhurriedly: "My nephew has seen the third aunt, and it is my father and mother who have something to tell the second sister inside." ”

Mao said: "I also have something to find your mother, and it is also for Brother Ying's business." ”

Xu Heng looked out from the pane, but when he saw that the Mao family hired Tingting to just walk over to this side, Xu Zhi was afraid that he would not be able to stop it, and thought that it was not good for the Mao family to see Xu Fu and these tablets, so he frowned and said, "Brother Ying, you help your mother go out first." I still have something to say to your fifth brother. ”

"Yes, Daddy." Brother Xu Ying collected her tears, got up and helped Yao to go out.

Mao is only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, born in a famous family in the former dynasty, has read poetry and books since childhood, looks delicate and elegant, and can dress up, looks only in his early twenties, and has the style of a young woman, like a ripe peach. She stood there, took a girl, and walked straight forward with a dignified appearance, forcing Xu Zhi, who was not much older than her, to blush, and didn't dare to stop her, but hurriedly retreated and pleaded: "Third aunt, please wait, how about my nephew tell you?" ”

"Your mother must be comforting Brother Sakura, right? Uncle, don't worry, Brother Ying listens to me the most, and I will help your mother comfort her. This kid is pitiful, it's been a long time, and he should have forgotten about the Cui family. Mao just smiled, and walked forward with his chest straight, forcing Xu Zhi to be miserable.

This ripe peach scared the Duanfang gentleman Xu Zhi, Xu Yingge looked at Yao's, and saw that although Yao's face was not made, his eyes were already extremely displeased, so he let go of Yao's arm, walked forward quickly and skillfully inserted it between Xu Zhi and Mao's, firmly grasped Mao's plump arm with his hand, and smiled sweetly and lovely: "Third aunt, you still love me." ”

Mao Shi was pinched by her, and slapped her on the hand in disgust, saying, "You girl didn't know how to give birth, so much strength!" I love you, hang on to you, I'm afraid I won't be able to think about it, so I came to see you, but you pinched me like this? As he spoke, he carefully looked at Brother Xu Ying's eyes.

"Does it hurt? I'm sorry Aunt San, I'll blow it to you? Brother Xu Ying had just cried, his eyes were red, but he was not afraid of her looking, he only glanced at Xu Zhi, who was wiping sweat on the side, and Xu Zhi retreated behind Yao, pouting, and silently expressing his dissatisfaction with Mao's with a broken face.

"Forget it, who wants you to blow it with a flowery little grease mouth?" Mao Shi looked at Yao's with a straight face, and then looked at Brother Xu Ying's red and swollen eyes, dressed plainly, pinched Brother Ying's cute little chin, and said softly with a caring face: "You girl, if you are sad, you are sad, your aunt is not an outsider, why force a smile?" ”
