Nalan walked in the courtyard, very contemplative, and felt that the reaction of his brother and aunt today was really suspicious, Nalan knew that Ama and his brother were the people who loved him the most, and his suspicion always felt that he should not be, but everyone's reaction felt that there was something they didn't know about, thinking about it, Nalan sighed slightly.

"Master, you came back today because you had something on your mind, why are you distressed?" As Lian'er behind Nalan saw Gege's appearance like this, she was also a little anxious, and couldn't help asking.

"Lian'er, when did you enter the mansion?" Nalan didn't answer Lian'er's question.

"Small...... Lian'er entered the government the year before last. ”

"Do you remember that the current emperor came to the palace?"

"I don't know this little one, I was only bought into the mansion at the end of the year, and since then, I have followed the master."

"So, you don't know?"

"I don't know, at that time, Prince Yong didn't have a close relationship with the master, and we, as slaves, still don't pay attention to these things."

Nalan nodded slightly, it seems that he still has to ask Amma in person, otherwise there will always be a knot in his heart.

Nalan looked at Lian'er, who was a head taller than him, and asked, "Lian'er, how old are you this year?" ”

Lian'er blushed for some reason, and said slowly: "It's fifteen." ”

Nalan lowered his head and calculated silently, and suddenly smiled: "No wonder you are taller than me." ”

Lian'er also smiled silently, and suddenly bit her lip gently, and held back her laughter.

"Are you Han?"

"Yes." Lian'er was a little submissive at this time, and when she thought of her family, she couldn't help but feel a little gloomy.

Nalan glanced at Lian'er, took Lian'er's hand, and said, "Are you a little unaccustomed?" ”

Eleven-year-old Nalan is not as tall as Lian'er, but now she looks like a little adult, Lian'er was also shocked, immediately knelt on the ground, her voice trembled a little, and said: "When the little one enters the house, he serves Gege, and Gege treats the slave like a sister, and the little one is too late to sleep and laugh at night, so he is used to it." ”

Nalan smiled suddenly: "Lian'er, look at you, I know that there are many differences between the Manchus and the Han people, so I asked you if you are used to the customs of the Manchus, why are you nervous and can't get up?" ”

"Ugh." Lian'er exhaled, and her heart was settled.

"As slaves, as long as we have something to eat, and the master does not beat or scold, the world will be peaceful, and we don't care about cultural differences and changes in customs at all."

Nalan didn't speak, thought for a moment, and said to Lian'er: "From today onwards, how about you follow me to learn from female red?" ”

"Never."

"There's nothing to do, you learn secretly from me behind, so that in the future, you can also marry a good man, no need to say more, you go back first, I'll go find Amma."

Lian'er was already moved to tears, and said: "Master, if you treat me like this, I'm afraid the little one will not be able to repay it in the future." ”

"I don't need you to pay it back, I want you to know that people are equal, and you don't need to take yourself too lightly, and you don't need to take yourself too seriously, I hope you can understand."

"Keep the little ones in mind."

"That's good."

Gently speaking, containing a lot of feelings, Nalan walked towards the main house.

Lian'er looked at Gege's back blankly, with such a master, I am afraid that she is a blessing accumulated in her previous life, although this Gege is still young, but shrewd and clever, understands the sophistication of human feelings, and her temperament is gentle but not weak, no wonder the master loves this Gege extraordinarily.

"Extraordinary things" Lian'er suddenly thought of these four words in her mind, and immediately knelt down again.

"Master!" Lian'er knelt on her knees, put her forehead on the ground and her palms facing up, this is the ritual of worshiping the Buddha, and everything is in silence.
