Volume 1: The First Birth (The Future Is Unclear, Friend and Foe Are Inseparable; Clues and real murders appear) Chapter 23 The prodigy Xiao gradually entered
"A-Niang is really, it's easy to take us back to my grandfather's house, why do I still have my eleventh sister, she was born to Jiang Ji, and she didn't come out of A-Niang herself...... Aya used to treat us so much, but this year I suddenly ignored it, but I was kind to the eleventh sister, I just left, since I was a child, and Aya separated, but Sister went to Jiangnan with her, how could she be alienated by Aye? ”
This was on the way to Xiao's Mansion, because Eleven Niang and Xiao were riding together, Liu Jiuniang, who had to follow with her eldest sister in an ox cart, took advantage of the fact that the servants in the car were not paying attention, and whispered to Liu Qi Niang's ear and complained.
Liu Qiniang glanced at the nurse, and also lowered her voice: "You don't know, A-Niang treated Jiang Ji intimately, Jiang Ji died of illness, and the eleventh sister was abused by Yao Ji a lot, and she was so young, it is reasonable for Ye Niang to love her more, but you can't complain." After speaking, he lowered his eyelids, and his fingers were not rolled around his waist.
"That's right, the eleventh sister is also pitiful." Liu Jiuniang said in a snort, but she still felt a little depressed in her heart, although she had been clothed and fed since she was a child, and she was not abused in the slightest, but it did not mean that she did not expect Ye Niang to love.
When she arrived at Xiao Mansion, Liu Jiuniang saw that her grandmother also had a lot of love for Eleven Niang, and she was even more sorry when she mentioned Jiang Ji, and even had red eyes, and finally Xu had something to discuss with her mother, and sent a few of their children away, and did not forget to take care of Eleven Niang, Jiuniang felt that her heart was sour, and she turned a blind eye to Eleven Niang, and only laughed and chatted with a few cousins.
A few little ladies in Xiao Mansion are not familiar with Jiang Ji, and they wonder why their aunt brought a concubine to the house, it seems that the grandmother is still out of sincere love, better than a few sisters from her own house, although curious, but do not want to pay much attention to the eleventh mother, the concubines are reserved, and they are usually reluctant to get too close to the concubine.
Of course, Liu Shiniang didn't care about it, so she just sat silently next to Liu Qiniang, thinking that she was an ornament.
A few girls laughed for a while, then started to play the game, it was the most interesting "Shuanglu" of the time, the two of them fought, the rest of the crowd watched, the loser had to give up his position, and was punished for folding flowers and vases, and he was not happy for a while.
Liu Jiuniang was especially gearing up, and it was easy to look forward to her turn to take the place, but unfortunately the luck was not good, and she fell behind repeatedly in the dice rolling, and soon she was defeated, and she couldn't help but be very frustrated, Eleven Niang took the opportunity to take the initiative to please and held the hand of the ninth sister: "I will accompany the ninth sister to fold the flowers." "A well-behaved look.
Jiuniang was stunned, in the end did not get rid of the sister, pulled her to the garden, the two girls had no sentence to discuss what flowers to satisfy the sisters, Eleven Niang pretended not to know a few kinds of flowers and plants, humbly asked, which greatly satisfied Liu Jiuniang's enthusiasm for "being a good teacher", but also after getting the little sister praise "Nine sisters know a lot", Jiuniang felt more happy, and temporarily put the frustration of losing chess and a little sour jealousy of the sister behind, when Eleven Niang struck while the iron was hot and asked, "I don't know if I don't understand anything in the future, Can you go to Fucuiwu to ask the ninth sister for advice", Jiuniang agreed, as if she had never had a bad idea for her sister.
Eleven Niang secretly thought, although some children in this Liu Jiuniang are competitive and righteous, they are frank and open-minded, and they are by no means small-bellied and sinister.
The two sisters were talking happily to each other, but suddenly inserted a voice full of jokes.
"Which wild girl dares to steal flowers in people's homes, and is not afraid of thugs?"
Eleven Niang first glanced at Liu Jiuniang's angry face, and then turned her head, but saw Xiao Langjun, who was wearing a purple cyanotic round-necked brocade robe covered with a water-colored gauze robe, tall and short Jiuniang's half fingers, but with his hands on his face, it seemed that he was deliberately imitating the demeanor of a scribe, but it was difficult to hide the childishness of mischief.
Eleven Niang didn't know who it was, of course, she only looked at it silently, and heard Liu Jiuniang unceremoniously refute it back: "I said which wild boy broke into the house privately, it turned out to be the ninth brother, the ninth brother thought that he was burdened by the reputation of a prodigy, and he had to concentrate on poetry, and he was so young that he was dizzy and weak-sighted." ”
"The ninth sister is deaf and clear-sighted, how did she misidentify me?"
Eleven Niang only felt that her brain couldn't turn, what was the situation? This kid is clearly the Xiao family's Xiaolang, why does Jiuniang call him the ninth brother, but he calls him Jiuniang and the ninth sister?
Liu Jiuniang pouted and smiled: "No, no, it's not that I misunderstood, it's that I can't believe that there are such rude children in my grandfather's family." Ninth brother, they all say that you have the talent of remembering, why don't you always remember that I am older than you, is it not not forgetful, but has a poor memory? ”
Xiao Jiulang couldn't compare to his sharp teeth, but he was not annoyed, but he was still unconvinced: "You and I were born at the same time on the same day, the same month, what proof do you have to be older than me?" ”
"If it weren't for the fact that I was older than you, why would my grandfather and uncle let you call me cousin." Liu Jiuniang was triumphant: "The ninth brother is questioning the words of the elders? ”
Xiao Jiulang was speechless, so he had to change the topic: "Who is this little girl next to you?" He looked at it twice, and smiled toothily: "It's more adorable than when you were young." ”
Eleven Niang was extremely resentful in her heart - it was easy to make up for Liu Shaoqing's misfortune, but she was used by this kid to stimulate Jiu Niang!
Who knew that Liu Jiuniang didn't mind: "It's my eleventh sister, your cousin can't bully her, otherwise I have to tell my aunt." ”
"No wonder the sages have a saying, only women and villains are difficult to raise, I just asked, and I was slandered and bullied, isn't Jiuniang telling right and wrong?"
Liu Jiuniang fell back to the upper hand, glared at Xiao Jiulang hatefully, snorted lightly, and pulled Eleven Niang to walk away.
Xiao Jiulang followed: "Jiuniang hasn't told me yet, when and where did such an eleventh sister be added?" "I just don't want to call my cousin.
What does it mean when and where is it added? Eleven Niang couldn't help but sarcastically go back: "I just returned to Beijing from Jiangnan, and it was the first time to meet my grandfather, although I have never heard of my cousin, but I also know that I don't know when I have seen it, my cousin originally existed, and I don't know when and where it was added." ”
Xiao Jiulang didn't want such a child to be so sharp-toothed and stunned, but Liu Jiuniang felt that she took advantage of her wish and repaid her sister with a smile: "Eleventh sister, don't be annoyed, the ninth brother has been good at writing poetry since he was a child, and his grandfather and uncle have always loved him, so it is inevitable that he is a little arrogant, and he is not very cautious in his words in the past." ”
Seeing that Xiao Jiulang, who knew that he was at a loss, was secretly grinding his teeth, Eleven Niang also smiled and bowed his head: "I listen to Sister Jiu's words, and I don't annoy my cousin for losing his words." ”
This time he did not hesitate to step on the cousin of the Xiao family to please Liu Jiuniang, but Eleven Niang didn't know that today the Xiao family suddenly took her to visit the foreign family, but the root cause was in such a prodigy who was loved by thousands of people in the Xiao family.
——
At this time, Xiao and his eldest sister-in-law gossiped with their mother, Mrs. Dong, on the left and right, and happened to mention Xiao Jiulang: "Didn't I hear that my sister-in-law led Xiao Jiu to Luohe's birthday and returned after the Qingming Festival." ”
Mrs. Dong took over: "Yesterday I was so anxious to call you home today, it was for Xiao Jiu's business. After drinking another sip of peach syrup, he seemed to be a little embarrassed: "Your sister-in-law's return to Ning is a coincidence, just when you meet Langji real people traveling to Shangluo, boarding in the in-law house, it is impossible to meet, your sister-in-law will ask the real person to calculate Xiao Jiu's future fortune." ”
Zhou people believe in Buddhism and Taoism, and because Xiao Jiulang gradually showed a unique talent when he gradually entered the enlightenment, especially valued by the elders of the family, this Langji Zhenren and Bishan Ling Xuzi are also famous, but over the years they have wandered around and lived in no fixed place, so many believers are not allowed to visit, but they don't want to this time but they happen to stay in Shangluo Zhangfu, and they are met by Zhang, of course, they will not let go of the opportunity.
Shaw asked, "But what's wrong?" ”
Zhang sighed: "The real person also said that Xiao Jiu's talent and intelligence are really lucky, but he has many twists and turns in Xiao Jiu's career in the future, and he has the worry of not encountering talents. ”
"There are many children in the family, only Xiao Jiu is talented, whether you Aya or Brother, you don't want Xiao Jiu to be buried, according to your Aye's wishes, it is to send it to his grandfather's house, but although Shangluo also belongs to Gyeonggi, in the end it is two hundred miles away, and your sister-in-law and I are not willing to ...... There is only Liufu, one is close to each other, and the son-in-law is talented, if Xiao Jiu can be taught by him, he will not delay his studies. When Mrs. Dong said this, she took Xiao's hand: "I just don't know if Xiao Jiu will make you embarrassed when he goes to live with your husband's house this time." ”
Although Xiao Shi felt sudden, he did not hesitate and comforted his mother: "Ah Niang, don't worry, Ah Jia is open-minded and open-minded, and he will never mind if he treats his daughter as if she were her own." ”
Mrs. Dong said with a smile: "Mrs. Tai really treats you very well, if I hadn't seen her sincerely ask for a marriage for Junyi, I wouldn't want you to marry such a complicated family, in the end there is a half-brother, it is inevitable to contradict it...... I didn't know that when I looked at it later, Pei's family was not a narrow-minded and strong person, I was glad for you, who would have thought ...... It's a pity that Pei's family was implicated by his mother's family. ”
Speaking of this, Mrs. Dong sighed again: "I don't know if the prince of Yuanping County plans to marry another?" I hope it is also reasonable and beautiful, and I will be able to live in harmony with you in the future. ”
"Uncle doesn't have any idea of continuing, and Ah Jia can't be persuaded either."
Mrs. Dong shook her head, but she didn't mention anything more about the in-law's house, and got back to the point: "Although there is no problem, you still have to discuss with your family when you return, speak for me, and you will definitely come to the door to thank you in the future." ”
Xiao nodded in agreement, and asked his mother again: "It's so easy to call me home, why don't you call Sister back too, and I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
Speaking of the eldest daughter, Mrs. Dong frowned again: "Why didn't I call her, but I didn't know that the response over there was that she was unwell again, and she couldn't come back." ”
Xiao Shi couldn't help but worry: "Sister A's old birth was very dangerous, and it took several months to improve, why did she feel unwell at this time?" ”
"If there is no news for a few days, I will send someone to inquire." Mrs. Dong said in a serious tone: "You don't need to worry about your sister, but she already has three biological heirs under her knees, but you, the heirs of the Liu family are already thin, and you don't care much, the nine girls are all seven years old, why haven't you heard anything about it all these years?" Now that you have the eldest son, don't you worry that the Bai family will have parent-child support in the future, but you don't have anyone to rely on? ”
