Chapter 2: The Best of Times
"Mother...... Mother, what's wrong with you? ”
Two little people rushed in, one of them hugged Xin Nian's leg, and the little face on his back was full of worry.
"It's nothing, my mother had a nightmare, a long, long nightmare......"
Xin Nian squatted down, hugged the two children, hugged them tightly in her arms, and felt the warm temperature on her little body, and her tears were like rain.
"Auntie...... Aunt ......"
Xinghua panicked, my aunt has never been close to Miss Young Master, what's wrong with me today? It's like a different person.
"Nothing."
finally Xin Nian cried a lot, venting the emotions in his heart, and his reason returned. Because he wiped away his tears, he said to Xinghua: "I had a long nightmare last night, and I was caught in a nightmare, but I was also blessed by misfortune and saw many things clearly. Well, needless to say, you go and fetch two more basins of water, wash the faces of Liuzai and Yaya, I'll wash myself, and you can comb my hair later. ”
"Yes."
Xinghua was still a little surprised, but seeing that Xin Nian was not as cold and indifferent as before, the whole person added a lot of energy, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart, and hurriedly pulled Liuzai and Yaya out the door.
"Don't go ......"
Xin Nian was about to wash her face, when she suddenly saw this scene, she rushed over again, and saw Xinghua looking at her helplessly, so she took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "Just wash it here with me, after washing, I will dress them up myself." ”
Xinghua was stunned for a while, and then she came back to her senses, only tears rolled in her eyes with excitement, and she said continuously: "Okay, okay, the slave maid will go to wash her face, and she will wash it here ...... aunt, and then the aunt will comb the hair of the sixth young master and the fourth girl, and the slave will go to ."
As he spoke, he turned around and went out. Here Liuzai and Yaya glanced at each other, and then raised their heads, their little faces full of confusion as they looked at Xin Nian, who was rubbing the top of their heads.
After a while, the girl was still bolder, and asked timidly, "What's wrong with my mother?" Why did my mother cry? ”
"My mother is fine, my mother just saw you and liked it, and my mother was very happy......
Xin Nian held back tears. In the previous life, three years after she entered the mansion, she was forced to get pregnant by Gu Changting, who was drunk that night, but she became pregnant after only one time.
She was trapped in the house, there was no drug abortion, and no matter how many methods she used, she still gave birth to this pair of dragon and phoenix brothers and sisters. Since then, she has always regarded her two children as a seed of iniquity, and has never been abused, but she has also refused to be close.
Later, on the old concubine's sixtieth birthday, Gu Changting saw Liuzai and Yaya, named them, and paid special attention to them, and found that he was not close to the child, so he sent the brother and sister to the concubine to raise.
It was after that that that the courtyard suddenly fell cold, and there were no more two small figures, Xin Nian realized how boring and lonely this day was, and regretted it in his heart, but he was helpless.
Unexpectedly, a few days later, Gu Changting personally sent the brothers and sisters back, only saying that they refused to live with the concubine, crying every day to find their mother, it can be seen that the blood relatives cannot be disobeyed, so if she wants, she can continue to raise the brothers and sisters.
Xin Nian was naturally ecstatic, from this moment on, she really tasted the happiness of being a mother, even if there was still hatred in her heart, but the children were so cute, and they were innocent after all.
I thought that I would live like this for the rest of my life, but who knew that a few months later, at night, the two children fell ill one after another. At that time, Gu Changting was not in the house, she had no way to ask for help, and in the end she could only watch the brother and sister die one after another for no apparent reason.
"Auntie."
Xinghua's voice woke Xin Nian from her memories, and she raised her head to wipe away the tears on her face: "It's nothing, I think of some old things, I'm a mother, I'm really sorry for Liuzai and Yaya...... Yes, they don't have a good name, I just said it casually that day, and I should have two other nicknames......"
"There's nothing wrong with that."
Xinghua smiled and washed her hands with her brother and sister, and said, "The slave maid heard that several young masters and girls in the backyard are not so strong, and they have a headache and a cold every once in a while. The old people often say that it is difficult to support the children of rich and noble families, and they must be pressed by a cheap name. We are in this courtyard, and no one cares about it, but the sixth young master and the fourth girl are safe and healthy, but don't you know if these two nicknames are good? Tell me to say, don't change it, my aunt is good to them, Liuzai and Yaya are also treasures; If my aunt is ...... What is it called, and what is the use? ”
"You're right."
Xin Nian nodded, seeing that the two brothers and sisters had finished washing, they became more and more cute, but the clothes on their bodies were a little old, and their hair was messy, so they were really not worthy of such a pair of golden boys and girls.
"Come here."
Xin Nian beckoned, Liuzai and Yaya walked over carefully, she picked up the comb on the dresser, first untied the unkempt bun for Liuzai, combed it patiently, and said softly: "The hair is a little knotted, the brother and sister should take a bath, it's too late today, you and Chunyu boil some hot water at night, and give their brothers and sisters a good wash." ”
"Auntie forgot? I washed it just before yesterday, just for the birthday of the concubine. It's just that the sixth young master is naughty, this must be secretly going to the tree again......"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Xin Nian was extremely disgusted with the young master's naughtyness, and Xinghua was busy talking.
Liuzai was also a little nervous. But I heard my mother laugh softly: "Also, it's not yet mid-March, it's cold in spring, so it's not appropriate to bathe too much, so I'll just wash my hair when I come back at night." ”
After saying that, the hair has been combed open, Xin Nian is a clever person, although he has never done this before, but now he is also handy.
"Over the years, I've become more and more lazy, and I've neglected many things. I remember that we should still have a few pieces of clothing in the box, and when you find out, I will personally make two new clothes for Liuzai and Yaya to wear. ”
"Good. It's just that the fabric in our box is not good. However, a few days ago, my grandmother sent my mother-in-law to send two pieces of good clothes, saying that they were making new clothes for the sixth young master and the fourth girl, and the slave maid thought that it should be for the 60th birthday of the concubine today, so she had already made it in a hurry. ”
"That's right."
In the previous life, Xin Nian didn't pay attention to this matter at all, and she didn't go to the birthday banquet, only the two children went to kowtow to the concubine, because she couldn't remember the details at this time, so she said: "If you have new clothes, bring them to me." ”
Xinghua went out, and after a while, she came in with two sets of clothes, and said ashamedly: "The slave needlework is not good, but the spring rain is sick these days, and I can only hurry up to do ......"
Xin Nian unfolded his clothes and looked at it, and said with a smile: "This is not bad, although it is not as good as the spring rain, others will praise it when they see it." ”
Xinghua heard that there was a hint of lively joke in her tone, and she was more and more surprised in her heart, and hurriedly smiled: "Auntie doesn't need to comfort me, I know my own affairs, I have never been good at doing this." ”
While the master and servant were talking, Xin Nian had already finished combing the hair of the brother and sister, and Xinghua said: "Chunyu went to the garden to pick flowers, and it is time to come back, I will comb my aunt's hair first, and when she comes back, let her help the young master and the girl change their clothes." ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Xinghua couldn't help but smile: "I really said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, isn't this coming back." ”
After speaking, she looked back and saw Chunyu coming in from outside, her hands empty, and she was surprised: "Didn't you go to pick flowers?" What about the flowers? ”
"Hey! Don't mention it. ”
Chunyu shook his hand, and when he saw Xin Nian, he came over to salute, and said angrily: "Auntie, they are too bullying, not to say that today is the 60th birthday of the concubine, and the people in our courtyard are not allowed to pick flowers, saying that we are ...... It is an unlucky person who has been left out in the cold...... I reasoned with them, but there were many of them, and the most hateful thing was the yellow woman, who also used a broom to drive slaves and maids......"
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Xinghua coughed violently a few times, giving Chunyu a look: This girl is still hot-tempered, just a little bit, even if there is such a thing, you shouldn't say that, my aunt looked a little happy today, wouldn't you be discouraged this time?
When he was anxious, he suddenly saw Xin Nian smile slightly, and said softly: "It's okay, just a few flowers, remember this revenge first, and you have to repay it." Xinghua, you comb my hair, Chunyu, you go and change the young master's new clothes. ”
Apricot:......
Spring:......
