A month later, a convoy of chariots and horses slowly entered the capital.

"Although Madame is Mrs. Tai's maiden niece, you are Mrs. Tai's eldest granddaughter."

“…… Even for the sake of your grandmother's face, they will never dare to bully you! ”

In the carriage, Mama Zhou had changed back into the costume of a servant.

She sat next to Han Jiaojiao and said words of comfort that she didn't quite believe.

Han Jiaojiao leaned lazily on the car window and secretly scolded herself:

Yes, they really don't dare to bully me openly.

can be caught with guns and sticks, mocking and sarcastic, pointing at mulberry and scolding Huai, etc.

If the Han family was a good place, her mother would not have died back then.

I will not be raised to be cowardly and inferior.

Fortunately, there is an aunt-

Alas, how nice it would be if I could stay with my aunt for the rest of my life?

Ten-year-old Han Jiaojiao grew up, saw more of the world with Gu Qingcheng, and began to think more.

Suddenly, she thought of something, and her palm-sized little face was flushed.

It's just that it's not easy to achieve what you want.

The door is too high, and—

Don't be afraid!

I've got a killer idea.

Han Jiaojiao's eyes flashed with a strange color.

After a short time, the carriage stopped outside the door of a large house.

Mama Zhou is not wrong, the Han family "values" her very much.

Her stepmother, her father's favorite concubine, and the excellent cousin who was once the shadow of her childhood, all came to the door with great fanfare.

What is this for?

Attaches importance to it on the surface, but in fact wants to label her as an arrogant and disrespectful stepmother?

A stepmother is also a mother, even if she has not given birth to her or raised her for a day, as long as she occupies this position, she is her elder.

Let the elders come to greet you, tsk, really pampered and arrogant, arrogant and willful.

Han Jiaojiao sneered secretly, but the whole person had already entered the "state".

The car door slowly opened, and Mama Zhou jumped down first.

She didn't care about saluting the people of the Han family, and carefully supported Han Jiaojiao.

A thin girl in an apricot-yellow dress staggered out of the carriage.

Han's stepmother first glanced at the clothes critically: it is not very plain, and it is in line with the identity of filial piety; It's not publicity, after all, it's only been a long time since the filial piety period.

Then, Han's stepmother's gaze fell on the girl's face again.

Ahem, the little girl lowered her head and shrunk her shoulders, and she couldn't see her appearance and expression clearly.

However, just looking at the appearance of shrinking his head and hunched back, there is almost no difference from three years ago.

It's still that little piece of garbage that can't be put on the table!

Thinking like this in her heart, Han Stepmother's face still had a standard light smile.

She took a quick step and greeted her, "Oh, Jiaojiao, you're back!" ”

"You kid, you have such a ruthless heart, you won't go home for three years."

"Do you know how much your grandmother misses you! I was sick some time ago—"

Tsk, what a big black pot.

The stepmother is scolding her for being "unfilial".

For a 10-year-old girl, this is not a trivial crime.

Of course, under the influence of Gu Qingcheng, Han Jiaojiao doesn't care about "reputation".

However, not caring doesn't mean that some people can unscrupulously button her hats.

Originally, Han Jiaojiao was still a little hesitant: Do you want to do things so desperately? Although the stepmother is not very close to her, she has no great hatred.

The death of the mother is more of a heart disease.

is not like what outsiders commented, she was angry with her husband, favorite concubine and cousin.

Han Jiaojiao is very clear about this.

In the past three years, the stepmother has not taken the initiative to provoke.

And if Han Jiaojiao is aimed at her, she is a little unkind.

But now, seeing her stepmother hiding needles in Mianli, Han Jiaojiao's embarrassment disappeared.

This man!

Should!

"It's my fault! Mother is right! ”

Han Jiaojiao slowly raised her head, revealing her delicate little face.

While "admitting her mistakes", she began to perform-

Cry!

Crying pear blossoms with rain, crying cuckoos crying blood.

Mama Zhou, who was supporting Han Jiaojiao, looked numb: ...... This picture is really damn familiar.

Mama Zhou has long been accustomed to it in her heart, but on the surface, she has to cooperate with her little lady, showing a worried and panicked look.

She hurriedly persuaded, "Don't worry, Madam is just teaching you, not scolding you for being unfilial!" ”

Han stepmother: ......

She's dumbfounded, okay?

Her impression of Han Jiaojiao is still stuck in the cowardly and shrinking little figure three years ago.

Han Jiaojiao's illness and weakness, she only heard about it.

After all, on the way back to Beijing, Han Jiaojiao had a serious illness, and in order to recuperate, she has been staying in an unknown small county for three years.

It took three years to recover, which shows how serious the original illness was.

But when I looked at it today, Han's stepmother realized that she was naïve.

What does it mean to "raise well"?

This girl is clearly about to die!

Who's a good young lady will vomit blood at every turn!

I'm vomiting blood.

Han's stepmother was frightened by Han Jiaojiao's blood-stained handkerchief, and she didn't expect it for a while: she seemed to have become the number one vicious stepmother in the capital.

Half a day later, the news spread in Beijing-

The noble daughter of the Han family, who had just returned to Beijing, was scolded by her stepmother and cried before she even entered the house, and was forced to vomit blood.

Coughing up blood at a young age is not a good sign.

This is an early death!

Han Jiaojiao "became famous in a fight", and also shocked the entire Han family.

Since then, no one has dared to mess with her.

What to provoke her?

A sick man who vomited blood at every turn provoked her, and she died, which was her own sin.

If she doesn't die, she will also bear the infamy of bullying patients.

The step-room of the Han family, what a bloody example.

only one looked at the face, and said two insinuations that the housewife is good at, and as a result, he was robbed of his housekeeping rights and grounded for three months.

Tsk, all the face is gone!

This means that she is Mrs. Tai's niece and nephew, and the Han family can't deal with it too much.

Otherwise, it is possible to send her to the Buddha hall and recuperate for two or three years!

was treated as a fragile porcelain doll by the whole family, and Han Jiaojiao was taken care of and careful in every way.

lazily lying on the finely carved step bed, but a little melancholy-

Alas, Auntie, when will you be able to enter Beijing!

I miss you!

……

Han Jiaojiao left, and the courtyard on the west side was empty.

It didn't take long for new homeowners to arrive.

Yes, the yard was sold.

The newcomer is a retired veteran.

It is said that his hometown is local, but he went out to serve as a soldier more than 20 years ago.

When he reached the age of almost fifty, the old man missed his homeland, so he took the family to return to his roots.

But in my hometown's village, there are no relatives for a long time, and even a familiar friend is no longer there.

The old man was very lost, but he was reluctant to leave his homeland, so he simply entered the county seat.

took his savings to buy the courtyard in the backstreet of the college and became neighbors with Gu Tingcheng.

"Gu Niangzi, the old woman's family name is Yang, you can just call me Yang Niangzi."

After the new neighbor moved in, the old lady who was in charge of the house began to visit the neighbor with the yellow rice cake she had made.

Gu Qingcheng's family is the first.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at the old woman who called herself Yang Niangzi, looking at her forties and looking at her forties, she was not tall and not fat.

The clothes were cleanly washed, and the whole person also looked at Lili Suosuo.

The old lady's eyes bear the traces of time, but there are not too many hardships of life.

Her eyes are very positive, and her character should not be bad!

And—

Gu Qingcheng's eyes flashed slightly, and he silently kept his guess in mind.

When Gu Tingcheng faced Yang Niangzi, he was still brand-wise sick and soft-hearted.

In three or two sentences, he told his "family background" to Mrs. Yang.

Mrs. Yang: ...... This one is as foolish as the legend suggests.

is so easy to believe in others, if there is no strong mother's family and a reliable son, it is estimated that there will be no bones left.

With a grote in her heart, Yang Niangzi appropriately introduced her own situation.

When she was thirteen or fourteen years old, her family suffered a disaster, and there was really no way to live, so she went to join the army.

He has been marching and fighting for more than 20 years, and he has not made any contributions.

There was no official position, no wealth, and he fell ill.

Fortunately, I still saved a few dollars, otherwise, I wouldn't even have the money to go back to my hometown.

Huo Laohan had two sons, all of whom married wives and had children.

The eldest son relied on martial arts and made a living, so he stayed in the field.

The youngest son has done a little business, and it is inconvenient to come back.

The two sons, not worried about the old father and mother, each gave out a son, and accompanied the old couple back to their hometown for their father's filial piety.

"My family Qilang is fourteen years old this year, and twelve lang is eleven years old, which is the same age as your eldest lang."

"However, my two grandsons are not reading material."

"Alas, dancing with knives and guns all day long, no one stops."

Yang Niangzi looked disgusted, but there was love in her eyes.

Obviously, her two grandchildren are her sweethearts.

"It's good to practice martial arts, my Erlang also likes to practice martial arts!"

"And my nieces and grandchildren, who also studied with me.

Gu Tingcheng looked innocent, followed Yang Niangzi's words, and said happily, "I specially invited a martial arts master, who is also a retired soldier in the army." ”

"It's a pity that our Heyin County is a little smaller, and we don't even have a serious martial arts hall."

Martial arts hall?

A gleam flashed in Yang Niangzi's eyes.

It's a good way to make a living.

……

has a new neighbor, but the lives of Gu Qingcheng's mother and son have not been affected.

In the fall, Zhao Yuanyi got married.

Gu Tingcheng prepared a fairly generous dowry for her, and gave her ten times the silver she earned from selling embroidery, and gave it to her.

There are also some cloths, medicinal herbs.

Zhao Qingyun's hand-copied books.

…… There are all kinds of wooden boxes, and they have a full mouthful of wooden boxes.

Zhao Yuanyi saw this dowry, which was definitely the first in their Zhaojiazhuang, and cried so much that she couldn't help herself.

My aunt is really kind to her.

In her heart, her aunt has long been an existence beyond her biological parents.

Zhao Qingyun, the youngest talent in the county, personally sent his cousin out, and the He family was very happy.

Originally, they just took a fancy to Zhao Yuanyi's embroidery skills and the relationship between Gu Niangzi and Mrs. Cui.

I never expected that Zhao Yuanyi's cousin would be so violent.

Twelve-year-old Xiucai is properly a Wenqu star.

His future is limitless!
