"Joan, Joan?"

Who, who? The voice......

"Nan Nanbao, who do you want to hold ......?"

The sound of a gentle nursery rhyme came from afar, and in the chaos and darkness, a door with light appeared.

Ye Qiong walked through the darkness, stretched out her hand and pushed open the door, the light instantly wrapped around her body, she rubbed her eyes, and saw a young woman with a blurred face sitting in front of the bed, playing a small fan to herself, and the wind at the bottom of the fan still carried the fragrance of magnolia flowers.

She sang: "Nan Nan Bao, who do you want to hug?" I want my mother to hug, and my mother spins flowers to make a jacket ......"

On the woman's side, her sister Ye Yao was embroidering with a smile, embroidering Qionghua, because she had told her sister squeamishly that she only wore the belly pocket embroidered with Qionghua made by her sister in this life.

The elder brother was reading in the compartment on the other side, reading "The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the son wants to raise but does not wait". Halfway through reading, I saw that I was still sleeping, so I took a brush to paint a face for myself, and was scolded by my sister and beaten out.

The door creaked open, and a man with a still vague face walked in, picked himself up with a smile, and then said with a smile: "We are heavy again!" ”

Ye Qiong tilted her head, wanting to smile at the man, but she pulled the corners of her mouth and cried.

Obviously she was crying, but everyone around laughed, laughing at her for being squeamish, and couldn't hear others say that she was fat again.

Ye Qiong wanted to deny it, but the words were trapped in her throat and couldn't say anything.

No, no......

At this time, the man took out a cluster of Qionghua from his arms and put it on Ye Qiong's bun flatteringly: "With Huahua, Nan Nan won't cry." ”

Ye Qiong cried even more fiercely, she knew who the young woman and the man were.

That's her aunt and daddy!

As soon as the scene turned, the father turned into a cold corpse wrapped in a white cloth straw mat, the aunt's embroidered shoes hung leisurely above her head, the brother died on the way to exile with whip marks and bones, and the sister and little niece were trampled into pulp by the crazy horse.

The flowers fell, and the Qionghua courtyard gradually drifted away.

Ye Qiong lowered her head and found that her head had rolled to the ground.

Startled, Ye Qiong woke up from her dream crying, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a beautiful woman who was fanning herself with her head propped up, and after being startled by herself, she came over and hugged herself with slightly red eyes.

"Is it another nightmare? Don't be afraid, A-Niang is here. ”

Ye Qiong's eyes stared at the beautiful woman in front of her who claimed to be her aunt without blinking.

She has a delicate appearance, fair skin, gentle and gentle like a magnolia flower, and her gestures are full of tenderness from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Seeing that Ye Qiong was still staring at herself stupidly, the beautiful woman smiled and hit Ye Qiong's head with a fan circle: "Bad girl, don't you know Niang?" ”

Ye Qiong opened her eyes and blinked reluctantly, and tears fell down.

"A-Niang, A-Niang!" This is her aunt!

Ye Qiong cried and hugged her mother Xie's neck, Xie was a little helpless, so she could only continue to pat Ye Qiong's back and continue to hum the ballad: "Nan Nanbao, who do you want to hug?" I want my mother to hug, and my mother spins flowers to make a jacket ......"

A hand reached out from outside the bed, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl hung the bed on the hook, pointed at Ye Qiong with a smile and said, "Little sister is really, she is twelve years old and still coquettish to her mother, ashamed!" ”

Ye Qiong's mood eased a little, poked her head out of Xie's arms, and looked at the girl with some surprise.

In her impression, her sister Ye Yao is gentle and shy, where would she make fun of her like this.

Ye Qiong guessed that she was still dreaming, this dream was really real, and it could also correct her wrong impression of her sister.

Ye Qiong thought, since it was a dream, she didn't know if the others were there, so she kicked her shoes and got out of bed: "Where is my brother?" ”

The big girl Su Kite and Liuying replied with a smile: "The eldest prince has gone to the school." As soon as the words fell, a little girl told her that the master and the eldest son had arrived.

Ye Qiong looked over, and a middle-aged man walked in with a handsome young man, it was Ye Qiong's father Ye Qishu and brother Ye Jin.

Ye Qishu has a slightly long beard, and he is over thirty years old and still born graceful, gentle and elegant. Brother Ye Jin inherited the demeanor from his father, and he was really personable, but unfortunately he broke his skills as soon as he opened his mouth.

"No matter how bad the little sister is, she will be stuffed with mushrooms. It's been raining a lot these days, just enough to make a bowl of mushroom soup! ”

Ye Qiong blushed, and smashed the pillow behind her to her brother, but it hit her father's face, and the pillow fell down, leaving a red mark that was not too deep.

The room was stunned for a moment, and then there was a "poof" sound of laughter. Xie covered his mouth and drove everyone out of the house: "Okay, okay, let the girl rest well, the illness is not all cured." ”

Ye Qiong didn't want to sleep, she was afraid that everything would be gone again when she woke up.

Xie coaxed patiently, but Ye Qiong couldn't hold it anymore and slowly closed his eyes.

Xie Shi whispered outside, and the big girl Liuying and Su Kite instructed: "Pay attention to the movement, the bird's nest porridge on the small stove should be kept warm and not broken, and the second girl will use some for her when she wakes up." I went to the kitchenette to see how the medicine was doing, but I was more careful. ”

Xie Shi spoke carefully, but the tone was irrefutable.

On the other side, Ye Yao and Ye Jin went back separately, Ye Qishu waited for Xie Shi, Xie Shi walked over and slapped Ye Qishu angrily: "It's all your good fourth brother's fault, it's okay to tease my maid, I was found and knocked the girl who didn't know anything into the water, and now I plan to push it on the head of his concubines." If it weren't for the fact that there was no big event, I wanted you to look good!"

Ye Qishu rubbed his eyebrows: "I will talk to the eldest brother about this matter in private, but what if I really want to take the fourth brother...... After all, they are all Ye families, and it is not good for them to spread out. ”

Xie Shi sighed: "That's the only way." ”

Ye Qiong woke up again.

There were some chills in my body, and my throat was as thirsty as if it had been stuffed with bitter cotton.

She shook her head, got out of bed with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and wanted to pour water for herself, but she didn't watch out for a foot in the air and fell on the footrest.

"Ouch, my girl, hey!" The door was opened with a bang, and a furious maid rushed in, pulled her up, neatly stuffed her back into the bed, and thoughtfully stuffed a pillow behind her and poured water.

"Wandering Warbler, what's wrong?" A more calm maid came in outside the door, approached and touched Ye Qiong's forehead, and was relieved to find that her hands were no longer hot.

"Wandering Warblers?" Ye Qiong called the maid, and her voice was still a little hoarse.

When the maid heard Ye Qiong call her, she proudly puffed up her chest and shouted, "The warbler is here!" ”

Ye Qiong took the hand of the warbler, and then took the hand of another maid, and asked her with a smile: "She is the warbler, and you are a plain kite, right?" ”

"Yes, I'm Su Kite. What's wrong with Miss, is there something you want me and Liuying to do? Su Kite patted Ye Qiong's hand gently.

Ye Qiong's eyes suddenly reddened, how could she have something to let them do, as long as she was like now, it would be good to talk to them in her dreams and hold hands.

"What about the cuckoo, where is the cuckoo? Why didn't I see her? ”

Liuying and Su Kite looked at each other, both were a little strange, Su Kite replied: "Girl, there are no cuckoos in our house, who are you talking about, do you want me to ask Mrs.?" ”

Ye Qiong was stunned for a moment, she thought that this dream was so real, even the long-dead Liuying and Su Kite were there, how could it be missing the cuckoo who was the most loyal protector of the Lord?

Ye Qiong thought of a possibility, she grabbed the hands of the two maids tightly, and asked them rhetorically: "You tell me, how many years is Longwu this year?" ”

"Longwu? Is the girl confused, the current year name is Shunhe, this year is the twenty-second year of Shunhe, our eldest girl has just been engaged to the family of the criminal department, and she will get married after the year. The warbler chirped.

"Shunhe, Shunhe twenty-two years......" Ye Qiong's hands were trembling, her face was pale, and she pointed to the dresser with trembling hands, "Go, go and bring my mirror!" ”

"Girl......" Su Kite and Liuying were both frightened by Ye Qiong's appearance, and hurriedly took the glass mirror.

Ye Qiong grabbed the mirror, and the face of a twelve-year-old girl was clearly reflected in the glass mirror.

The eyebrows are like far away, the skin is like congealed fat, the eyes are clear, they are some round almond eyes, and there is some baby fat on the face that has not faded, because it is a little pale in the disease.

With a "snap", the mirror shattered to the ground, and the splashed debris scratched Ye Qiong's fingers, and the slight pain cut off the last trace of confusion in her heart.

This is not a dream, Su Kite and Liuying happen to live in the world, it is now the twenty-second year of Shunhe, and the cuckoo came to his side from the fourth room of the Ye family in the twenty-sixth year of Shunhe's twenty-sixth year when he got married, and now he naturally can't see her.

Ye Qiong's blood-stained fingers crossed her cheeks, and the slippery feel and the pain between her fingers told her a fact.

She was born again, at the age of twelve.

But what about Auntie, Daddy, and Brother and Sister?

Shunhe, Shunhe 12 years...... The twelfth year of Shunhe, the year when the soul case occurred!

As if to confirm something, Ye Qiong quickly got off the bed, ignored the call of the kite and the warbler behind her, pushed open the door and wanted to find something, but saw a woman standing under the porch and teasing the birds.

Hearing the voice, the woman turned around with a smile, frowned distressedly when she saw her appearance, and walked over to bring her into the house: "Where did the crazy girl come from, why is she still barefoot, and she fell into the water in the autumn and caught a cold." Hurry up and get into the bed, how did you get your hands? ”

The familiar nagging brought tears to Ye Qiong's eyes, and at this moment she felt that her soul had really returned to the age of twelve, and shouted to the woman: "A-Niang-"

Xie Shi said "hey", pulled Ye Qiong back to the boudoir, saw the mess all over the ground, stared at Ye Qiong, and commanded the maids to clean up again.

Ye Qiong obediently sat on the high stool and dangled her legs and waited for A-Niang, but first waited for the eldest girl thrush beside her grandmother to come to the ceremony with a smile: "The old lady asked me to say, the eldest master, the fourth master and the fourth master's girl came together, and asked the second girl and his wife to go to Wutong Courtyard to ask for a meeting." ”

The thrush looked at Ye Qiong's complexion, and added at the right time: "Of course, the old lady also said that if the second girl is not cured, let her rest without going over." ”

Ye Qiong knew that this was because her grandmother felt sorry for her, so she didn't want to go, so she used illness as an excuse.

Ye Qiong smiled, thinking about the cuckoo who should still be in the fourth room, so she pulled Xie Shi, who was rolling her eyes and resisting, and said, "Okay, tell grandmother that we are coming." ”
