Nie Xiaonian was still sad and didn't speak. Nie Xiaofan couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it, in the final analysis, he didn't care enough about him. But thinking that he would have to face more things in the future, this was just to let him know a little bit of the truth. And he was cruel and did not comfort him.

Nie Xiaonian asked, "Did I make my two sisters angry today?"

Nie Xiaofan thought that he said something about Sister Xiaohong, and said with a smile: "No, the second sister said that you are for your own good." Your name is Sister Xiaohong, if you are heard by others, how can you deal with yourself called Xiaohong?"

Nie Xiaonian shook his head: "I know." I was deceived by a subordinate, and you are all disappointed in me, right?" Nie Xiaonian choked.

Nie Xiaofan thought about it and called Su Xin Liuxin in. Liu Xin still lowered her head. Nie Xiaofan asked Su Xin, "Mama Jiang kept saying that her mother asked her to take care of the eldest young master, but is there such a thing?"

Su Xin replied: "It's not that on the day my wife went out, she was cheeky to go, and my wife said that she would let her watch the eldest young master at home." Who knew that she was holding chicken feathers as arrows. ”

Nie Xiaofan understood and ordered: "You two go to Shao'an Courtyard and bring Mama Jiang's things." Anything she shouldn't have, go to her and ask for the source. If there is something that cannot be answered, the things will be confiscated, and the price will be calculated and punished from her monthly silver once. so that she doesn't dare to have thoughts that she shouldn't have. ”

The two went respectfully, but Liu Xin still didn't dare to raise his head, but Su Xin was very happy!

Nie Xiaofan looked at Nie Xiaonian and said softly: "You heard, it's not that Mama Jiang lied to you, it's that you haven't understood what she means." I'll punish her with her moon silver now, and give you a vent. ”

Nie Xiaonian choked up again: "Sister, no one cares about me at home." ”

This poor baby!

Nie Xiaofan walked up to him and patted him with a fan. "It's my sister who is not good, and she doesn't care enough about you. In the future, when you come to eat with your sister in the bamboo incense courtyard, we will still be like when we were children. Okay?"

Childhood?

How good it was when he was a child, his mother would take him to Changping to escape the summer in the summer. Mother always smiled happier than at home, and my sister would touch his head and say that you have grown taller again. The peach tree he planted in the courtyard grew taller every year, and every year his sister would send someone to his home to give it to him.

But can it still be like when I was a child?

"Wow!" Nie Xiaonian suddenly burst into tears. No more! Mother is gone! Mother is gone! She said she just went out to make incense, but she never came back!

"Sister, mother is gone, mother is gone, sister, sister!" he hugged Nie Xiaofan and cried.

Nie Xiaofan patted him on the back, his shoulders shook and cried even more fiercely. Nie Xiaofan was sick when he returned home, and he didn't have much time to talk to her. At this time, as soon as Nie Xiaofan cared about him, grievances hit him like a flood.

In the past few months, no one cares about him like the stars holding the moon, his grandfather and grandmother don't want to see him, and his father doesn't care about him. His grief for the loss of his mother had nowhere to speak, and it all turned into tears at this time

Nie Xiao'e returned to her deserted courtyard, and her nurse immediately ordered the meal to be set......

"Didn't you say to sit down for a while? Why did you come back?

"I also said that the girl followed the Zhuxiangyuan to try the case today. I want the slave to say that you shouldn't care about this, girl, you don't have to make people suspect that we want their money!"

Nie Xiao'e was not annoyed, and said: "I didn't have a biological mother when I was born, and if I didn't have a mother all these years, I would have been eaten by the old lady! Now that I'm at home, I should help her two children." ”

Liu Er also understood, but she still didn't feel at ease: "Girl, after all, it involves the wife's dowry." Although you are their sister, you have to avoid suspicion. ”

While speaking, the nurse had already brought hot water, and Nie Xiao'e said to the two of them: "Don't say this in the future, my mother didn't have any blood relationship with me back then, and she can still treat me with true affection, I don't believe in my relatives, but I can still be rusty." Liu Er lowered her head and admitted, and the nurse also smiled and nodded. Liu Er waited for Nie Xiao'e to clean her face and hands. And he smeared the ointment. Fang You's little girl brought a food box to set the meal.

Liu Er glanced at the rice on the table, the rice was the rice that his wife eats nowadays, a bowl of white porridge and fried cabbage. There is another one who doesn't know what it is, it may be a mixture of several dishes and stir-fried.

Liu Er and the nurse looked ugly, "The slave maid sees that there is a small kitchen in the Zhuxiang Courtyard, or we will get one in the courtyard." It doesn't matter what you do, just make some pastries for the girl every day. Liu Er suggested.

"No!" the nurse immediately objected, "the dowry that the lady prepared for the girl has been taken away by the old lady, and I don't know if it will be returned to us in the future." The little silver we saved ourselves will have to come to Liu's house to spend again. "The Liu family is the in-law that the Jiang family found for Nie Xiao'e.

The nurse said and persuaded Nie Xiao'e: "Girl, bear with it, when we get married, we will not be looked down upon if we have silver in our hands!"

Before Nie Xiao'e could speak, Liu Er was furious: "Do you want the girl to eat these things every day? The girl can't eat much silver." At most, I can do more needlework every day, can't I?"

Nie Xiao'e was not angry, and said softly: "What's this? The old lady didn't starve me to death." We finally saved a hundred and ten taels of silver, and she knew about setting up a small kitchen, but I was afraid that we would come to collect it again. ”

The three of them were fortunate enough to make needlework and sell all the money they saved, and they couldn't let Mrs. Nie snatch it.

Nie Xiao'e didn't say more, and ate it. She ate earnestly as if it were a table of delicacies.

The nurse looked sad, and turned her head to the side to wipe her tears. Liu Er also felt sorry for her, and said, "Don't be sad, girl, I heard that the fourth girl is the same there." Aunt Mei even withdrew from the people who were waiting. ”

"This little hoof, can the fourth girl and her aunt be the same as our girl?" the nurse scolded Liu'er.

The fourth girl is a concubine, the daughter of Aunt Mei.

"What's the difference?" Nie Xiao'e stopped holding the cabbage. "They are all daughters of the Nie family. She still has an aunt and a younger brother. How can I compare to her? Grandmother will see her again, but what about me? The old lady probably doesn't even know what I look like. She only remembered what her mother gave me, and as soon as her mother left, she snatched it all!

Nie Xiao'e's eyes were red as she spoke. Just because her mother gave birth to her, she was starved to death by the old lady! I finally met a stepmother who was kind and kind, and now she has gone again. is a good official daughter, but she is not as good as a concubine!

"Don't think so, girl. When Madame was there, she treated you no different from the third girl!That concubine, she can't compare to you!" Liu Er was also anxious when she heard her say this.

The nurse didn't have any idea, and cried when she heard Nie Xiao'e say this: "My poor girl." You didn't do anything wrong, why is your life so miserable?"

"Smack!" Nie Xiao'e put down the bamboo chopsticks suddenly, "Yes, I didn't do anything wrong, and it wasn't my fault that I was born." I don't like to eat these dishes, so why do I want to eat them?

She said so quickly and ruthlessly that Liu Er and the nurse were too frightened to speak anymore. After a while, Liu Er asked tentatively: "Girl?"

Nie Xiao'e was also stunned, and said to the nurse for a long time: "As a woman, who doesn't have a hard life? You have to rely on your parents at home, and you have to rely on your husband when you get married." You can only be an attachment for the rest of your life.

But I at least have a sound body, and I'm at least still a daughter. When you say that I am miserable, at least you can hope that I will marry the Liu family, and I still have hope for my life. Human life is inherently miserable. Nurse, if I don't have the ability to change all this, and I can't see it myself, then I will be miserable!"

After Nie Xiao'e finished speaking, she continued to eat. She looked as if nothing had happened.

If you don't think the food is delicious, you don't eat it, and it's yourself who suffers. I feel sorry for others who are not good to me, but I am still bitter. If you can't see your own situation clearly and fight back with your own strength, you will suffer even more yourself.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the Bamboo Fragrance Courtyard, Liu Xin, who was kneeling in front of Nie Xiaofan, cried so much that the pear blossoms brought rain.

"Girl, the slave really didn't mean to hide it from you, the slave and maid saw that you were not in good health, so they made their own decisions, and they didn't dare to bother you with these mundane things!" I was a little nervous, and I was afraid that the girl would blame her.

Nie Xiaofan looked at the bag in his hand, and there was a little tiger embroidered on it. The look technique should be Suzhou embroidery. This is something that the original owner has been affectionate for in his short life.

Liu Xin sobbed and said, "Girl, the slave maid grew up with you since childhood, and the slave maid is loyal to you. The slave is just afraid that after Sister Su Xin comes to you, you won't value the slave and the maid."

"Go down. Nie Xiaofan clenched his bag tightly and said to her: "I let Mama Jiang take care of those industries, it's not a punishment for you, I just think she is more suitable." You're still a big girl!"

Liu Xin was puzzled: "Girl?"

"Go ahead! You didn't do anything wrong. You are young, don't make your own decisions in the future. ”

Liu Xin was forgiven, wiped away her tears and bowed her head and retreated.

Nie Xiaofan slowly lay down, picked up the sachet and put it on the tip of his nose to smell, but unfortunately there was no fragrance in it.

"I'm so tired today. She said to the sachet.

After a while, Liu Yu came to the night and saw that Nie Xiaofan had already fallen asleep.

"Girl?" she whispered. There was so much going on today, she didn't really understand.

"Sleep. Nie Xiaofan replied in a daze.

Liu Yuyuan wanted to ask Mama Jiang when she came, what would her mother do. It's hard to ask again at this time. Blew out the lamp and gently went to the couch and lay down. The girls were afraid of the dark, and their vigil beds were not far away.

"Liu Xin is still young, you should guide her more. Nie Xiaofan's voice suddenly sounded in the darkness.

I pointed her out? Liu Yu didn't understand. Who doesn't know that Liu Xin is smarter than her?

Liu Yu's doubts were not dispelled, and Nie Xiaofan said again: "You bring a letter and ask your mother to guard the other courtyard, and we will go back to live after a while." ”

Want to go back to Changping? Liu Yu sat up from the couch with a 'huff'. Too happy to believe my ears.

Liu Yu grew up in Changping Zhuangzi, and in her heart, that is home. She thought she would never be able to go back, but now the girl says she wants to go back!

In the dark night, the sound of Nie Xiaofan's sleeping breathing came, but Liu Yu was so excited that she couldn't sleep!
