Xie Yue woke up early.

The weather had already entered autumn, but no one had given her a thick bedding, and the thick clothes of previous years had been put away, so she could only wear clothes at night and then wrap a thin blanket to sleep.

Pushing open the window that had been blown off half of the paper by the wind, under the dark sky, a thin layer of frost had already condensed on the weeds outside, and it was already cold like this, no wonder she was awakened by the cold.

Xie Yue had just come out of that layer of blanket, and she couldn't help but shiver when the wind from the window blew like this.

Footsteps could be heard outside.

Xie Yue was stunned and hesitated.

But it was this moment of hesitation that the footsteps came closer.

Xie Jintang walked into the house lightly, but saw a person sitting in front of the window, and she was startled by the cold: "Ah Yue? She had already seen her clearly: "Why did you get up so early?" ”

Xie Yue turned around and smiled weakly: "Didn't my sister come so early?" ”

Xie Jintang touched her head: "Doesn't this mean that I want to see you earlier?" He said softly and mysteriously: "There is a big event today, and I'm afraid you will forget." ”

Xie Yue didn't forget.

Qingyishan is about to select and recruit talents, and the Xie family, as a second-rate family, has also won two places this year, this is the first time in nearly ten years, and it has been taken seriously from top to bottom, which has made Xie Yue even more neglected to some extent, otherwise she would not have been given a bedding in previous years.

And Xie Yue's little sense of presence in the Xie family was given by Xie Jintang.

Xie Jintang showed extraordinary magical talent at a young age, and he was the only hope for the Xie family's second room to compete for the place of Qingyi Mountain.

The selection of Qingyi Mountain is nominally for all children to participate, Xie Jintang came over so early today, because he was afraid that others would not let or tell Xie Yue to go, so he personally took her over.

Although Xie Yue didn't think it had anything to do with her.

Xie Jintang took Xie Yue's hand with a firm gaze: "Ah Yue, follow me." ”

It was immediately frozen.

She held Xie Yue's hand as if she had held a piece of soft ice.

Xie Jintang was stunned, his eyes swept over the quilt on the bed, it was loosely piled up, and it was not difficult to see its thinness.

Xie Yue was silent.

Xie Jintang didn't speak, only held Xie Yue's hand harder and pulled her to continue walking.

As long as they are selected today, or even only her, no one will dare to bully Xie Yue in the future.

Xie Jintang took Xie Yue back to his house.

Different from Xie Yue's dilapidated house, Xie Jintang's house was richly decorated and elegant, with a group of servants and maids, and the moment they walked into the door, a servant found them and greeted them and said, "Miss, when did you go out?" The minions were so blind that they didn't even see it. ”

Then I saw the gray-headed Xie Yue behind Xie Jintang.

A kind of look that sees a poor relative who comes to the door to fight the autumn wind.

It's still the kind that fights the autumn wind many times, stalks to the death, and has a dead face.

Xie Yue lowered her head.

Xie Jintang's feet crossed the threshold and turned back, staring at the person, although she was young, she had a prestige that ordinary people could not match: "I think you are really blind? ”

It was easy for the man to realize what Xie Jintang was talking about, and said to Xie Yuepi without a smile: "Second Miss is good." ”

She bowed to Xie Yue.

Xie Yue seemed to be frightened, dodged, her eyes wandered, her hands were twisted, and she whispered for a long time: "Mama is okay." ”

Something that can't be put on the countertop.

Not only this grandma thinks so, but Mama Xie who comes out of it also thinks so.

Mama Xie has been in the Xie family for many years, and she has done her best, and she was given the surname of the master's family, which can be said to be very important among the minions.

Even Xie Jintang had to back down a few points against Mama Xie: "Mama, today is the selection of Qingyi Mountain, and the children in the clan will participate, so I'll bring Ah Yue over first." ”

Mama Xie looked at Xie Yue for a long time, and saw that Xie Yue was cramped and uneasy, and her hands were clenched tightly, before she said coldly: "Does the second lady want to participate?" ”

Xie Yue was startled, and subconsciously let go of the hand she was holding, waved her hand and said, "No...... It's not ......"

Xie Jintang stood in front of her and said: "Mama, that's what Qingyishan said, you and I have no right to interfere, if Ah Yue doesn't go and offends Qingyishan, it will be a big mistake." ”

Mama Xie was short at Xie Jintang, but she still said: "It's not appropriate for the second lady not to go, but if she goes, she is a god outcast, so she really won't offend all the immortals?" ”

Xie Yue lowered her head.

Xie Jintang said: "It's not that I don't respect the gods, but my Xie family is only general in the entire Chen country, not to mention that there are so many countries in the world, what god abandons the person is more outrageous than the person who cultivates immortals, right?" What's more, Ah Yue hasn't done anything over the years, and she hasn't had any trouble, so Mama still doesn't want to speculate with a few words. ”

Mama Xie had something to say, but she looked around, and finally said to Xie Yue: "Since the second young lady is going to appear in front of people, let's follow the slave maid to change her clothes first." ”

Xie Yue looked at Xie Jintang, Xie Jintang nodded, and she dared to follow the girl on the side.

The term "God's forsaken" is not rigorous enough, and it is not very widely circulated.

Legend has it that the woman who was born during the lunar year is extremely unknown, and if the woman's mother also dies during childbirth, then such a person is the body of the extreme yin, and the gods will abandon her.

That's how Xie Yue is.

Her mother's status is low, she is a slave born to a slave in the family, commonly known as a child born in the family, and was later taken by Xie Zhonghua, the second master of the Xie family, and she didn't even earn the status of an aunt, and died after giving birth to Xie Yue.

Xie Yue's status as a slave like this, when she killed her own mother and was too young to work, she became inferior to a slave.

After a full meal, Xie Yue grew to fourteen years old, and Xie Jintang, who was as delicate as a seventeen-year-old flower, was like a skinny dry firewood, dry and dusty, without any color.

Xie Yue couldn't wear Xie Jintang's clothes, and even her personal maid's clothes were too big.

In the end, I took a dress from a skinny third-class girl, and changed it to a smaller size, so that I could barely wear it to see people.

Mama Xie looked at her, still dissatisfied: "Give her another wash." ”

A basin of cold water from an autumn morning, undressed, and poured from head to tail.

Xie Yue's lips turned purple from the freeze in an instant, and her whole body trembled, but she didn't resist at all.

Mama Xie looked at her, she had no pitiful qualifications at all, not only did she not make people feel pity, but she was so thin that she was uncomfortable, almost to the point of making people feel unlucky.

A slightly larger stream of water poured from Xie Yue's head to her neck socket, Xie Yue could barely stand, she boiled alive, her water-soaked hair was sticking to her cheeks, she lowered her eyebrows, and she looked selfless in suffering.

It's almost gentle.
