"Great! I have a sister, and I will have a sister from now on......" Ah Zi grabbed Cui'e's hand and kept shaking, like a child. Cui'e was also excited, tears rolled in her eyes, but she smiled: "I have a sister......

"I should tell everyone the good news," said Zi after the excitement, "so that everyone can feel my happiness, but at least I have to tell my two sisters so that they can be happy too." ”

"That's right," Cui'e agreed with Ah Zi's idea, pouting and laughing, "If it weren't for the two of them, I wouldn't have been able to know their sister-in-law, let alone have a sister who will worry about me for the rest of my life from now on!"

"I have to let them know," Zi said, "although I am their sister-in-law, our relationship is like that of sisters, they are very good to me and respect me very much, even though they are older than me." ”

"My sister is really a blessed person," Cui'e said with a little envy, "Many people don't have a good relationship with their sister-in-law, but you are so close, it's really enviable!"

"Yes," Ah Zi nodded, "Our relationship is indeed very good, or it may be because my dead ghost husband is away all the year round, he only cares about his own business, and he is only a handful of years at home, and her sister is worried that I will be left out, so she is more attentive to me, shushing the cold and asking for warmth, chatting, and over time, our relationship has become what it is now." ”

"Since my brother-in-law is not at home," Cui'e said, holding Ah Zi, "the child is taken care of by the nurse and his aunt, so my sister can stay with me for a few more days and have a good rest to relieve the pain of taking care of the child." ”

"That's right," Ah Zi sighed, "It's fun to watch others take care of their children, but when I take care of my own children, I know that not only is it not fun, but it is also very draining, I always feel that I am busy all the time, and I don't know what to be busy with......"

Time passed quickly, and it was evening again.

Cui'e and Ah Zi had dinner and walked out of the courtyard. Sitting under a big tree outside the courtyard to enjoy the shade, there were also other Zhao family troupes sitting not far away, so they stopped talking, and only listened to other people bragging, but they also felt very happy.

As the moon began to shine, the sky seemed bright, distant, and pure.

The sound of frogs is everywhere, and the countryside seems very quiet, very peaceful, and very soft.

It was already cool under the tree, and there were more and more mosquitoes, so Cui'e and Ah Zi returned to the room.

After the two washed up briefly, they blew out the oil lamp and got into the bed, but they didn't fall asleep, and chatted again, it seems that they always have endless words, no wonder these two have known each other for a short time, and they have only met twice, and they will marry Jinlan!

"Sister," Ah Zi said, "you have reached the age of talking about marriage, don't you have a crush?"

"This ---" Cui'e took a deep breath when she encountered this question, and it seemed difficult to answer.

"What?" Ah Zi said, "Is there something wrong with my sister, my sister doesn't mean anything else, if my sister doesn't say anything, forget it, don't force it." ”

"Not really. Cui'e sighed, "I didn't want to talk about this kind of thing, but since my sister cares, it's okay to talk about it, and I believe my sister shouldn't laugh at me, a poor and pathetic sister." ”

"What does my sister say," Ah Zi said, "since I have married my sister Jinlan, then my sister has become my own sister from now on, but what has happened or happened to my sister, my sister is good, my sister is happy, my sister is painful, my sister I empathize, not only can there be no shameful laughing, but I will be sad with my sister." ”

"What a good sister!" said Cui'e, "I can get such a sister in this life, I, I, I really don't know what to say in my heart, in short, I am satisfied, and I have no regrets to die at this moment." ”

"Why should my sister be like this?" Ah Zi persuaded, "You and I have become sisters, and from now on, you and I have the same fate, if my sister has any grievances, I can say it, if my sister can do it, it is naturally incumbent on her, even if she can't do anything, at least my sister can share her worries with my sister, so that my sister will not be supported alone." ”

"I believe that. Cui'e said, "Since it comes to this, I am not afraid of my sister's jokes, originally I should not have anything to hide from my sister--- I was picked up by the class owner from the side of the road when I was two or three years old, the class owner told me that I am the illegitimate daughter of a rich man, my mother is a lowly person, I died in childbirth when I was born, and was abandoned by my biological father on the side of the road." ”

"Is there any evidence?" asked Zi.

"I once asked," said Cui'e in frustration, "that I found a letter from my swaddling clothes, and that it said so, but when I wanted to read it, he said that I had accidentally lost it, what else could I say? ”

"It's really unpredictable," Ah Zi sighed, "I didn't expect my sister to have such a tragic fate, it's really embarrassing!"

"What is this?" said Na Cui'e, "Abandoned since I was a child, and suffered from many bumps, these are all okay, what makes me desperate is that when I grow up, I will become human, I didn't expect that the person who has always treated me like my own father, and I have always respected him as a father, is ruthless......

"Ah---h ”

"Do you know," sobbed Na Cui'e, "I was only fifteen years old, and I remember it vividly, and I believe I will never forget it." We were invited to play by a large family, and when I was done, I went back to my lodgings, and the head of the class was kept by the master of the house, and was richly rewarded, and came back when I was full of wine and food, and I was already asleep, and he broke into my room with a bag of money......"

"Don't say it, don't say it!" Cui'e, who was full of pain, couldn't say it anymore, and Ah Zi couldn't bear to let Cui'e tear open her scabbed scar anymore, and held Cui'e in her arms, gently stroking Cui'e's hair and back.

"Don't worry," said Cui'e, choked up, soothing, "I'm fine, I've long since become as strong and cold as steel, I have long lost the taste of laughter and love, and I have forgotten the taste of sorrow and pain." ”

"Alas---" Cui'e sighed, and continued, "since then, I have been completely desperate, for so many years, I have been defiled by that brute many times, and I have wanted to escape, but I have no relatives and no reason, and I don't know where I should go? ”

"I, I really want to kill that brute!" Ah Zi said through gritted teeth.

"Later," Cui'e grabbed Ah Zi's hand and said, "Right here, a group of soldiers came, they paid for the show, and we took the money to perform, originally everything was a matter of course." After the performance was over, the class owner, who had not earned for a long time, took a part of the loose silver of the day's income into my room, and when I was about to do another misdeed, I did not expect that the officer who listened to the play did not go far, and he turned back again, and just happened to encounter this incident, so he beat the brute violently......"

"Great!" said Zi angrily, "that officer should have beaten that old beast to death." ”

"At first, I thought so," said Cui'e, "but when I saw him wailing on the ground like a water dog, I interceded for him, after all, I was raised by him, and how could I bear to watch him die?"

"You are really kind," Ah Zi said with a little resentment, "When he bullied you, he definitely didn't have your kindness." ”

"Fortunately," Cui'e said lightly, "since then, he will no longer be arrogant to me, and he will not dare to do whatever he wants to me." The officer probably also learned of our difficult situation, so he would come from time to time to take care of our business, and later, even if he didn't come to the theater, he would send us some food and scattered silver from time to time, and I would still be alive now......"

"Fools know," Ah Zi said, "all the members of the Zhao family class should be grateful to you, if it weren't for your existence, they might still be worried about hunger?

"Don't talk nonsense!" Cui E retorted, "I am the head of a dignified battalion, and I am a married man, I am just a lowly actor in the eyes of the world, how can people take a fancy to me?"

"What's wrong with the play?" Ah Zi said, "Could it be that all the plays are the kind of water-based poplars, gold and jade, and the people who are defeated on the outside?" I don't believe it, I think my sister is a person of elegant conduct, if it weren't for the tricks of fate, with my sister's stunning beauty, magnolia-like temperament, and temperament that combines strength and softness, she must be a character like Hua Mulan and Liang Hongyu. ”

"My sister is really good at making me happy," Cui'e smiled, "I know my sister is complimenting me, but I'm still glad in my heart, at least there are people who don't regard me as the kind of person who loves vanity and has little affection." ”

"What I say is from my heart," Ah Zi said, "My sister can not believe me, but I have my own number, although I am still inexperienced and ignorant of the world, but I firmly believe in my judgment, if there is a little falsehood, I will not marry my sister Jinlan." ”

"Thank you!" Cui'e grabbed Ah Zi's hand again and said in a low voice, "Having a sister like you is a blessing that I cultivated in my last life, it was you who made me smile, it was you who made me feel warmth and love, really, really thank you sister!"

"Why is my sister so polite?" Ah Zi said sharply, "Let's talk about big things, do you know about the battalion commander, when will he come again, can I have the honor to see the demeanor of the dignified battalion leader?"

"I don't know much," Cui'e said lightly, "It may come in the near future, who knows?"

"Have you ever thought about being with him?" asked Zi tentatively.

"No," Cui'e said in a low voice, "It's all the moon in the mirror, what do you want him to do?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a rooster crowing in the distance, and Cui'e and Ah Zi lay down again and stopped making a sound.

Until she was woken up by the merchant's shouting, it was already three poles in the sun, Cui'e was sleepy, Ah Zi dressed and went out, and saw that the merchant was none other than her comrade-in-arms Dazhi, she pretended to choose needlework and thread, and briefly told Dazhi what she had learned, and then complained that everything she saw was inferior, and returned to Cui'e's room in a daze.

At this time, Cui'e was woken up by Ah Zi, sleepy-eyed, and ready to get dressed and get out of bed.
