this day.

Shen Ningning came to Xie Mansion to accompany Xie Suzhi for dinner.

In the afternoon, she slept well, and as soon as she got up, she saw Late Spring passing by the door with red eyes and a bunch of things.

"Sister Late Spring?" Shen Ningning immediately called out to her: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Take a closer look, and sure enough, you're right.

Late spring has tears in her eyes, and she looks very sad.

"County Lord......" Wanchun wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and choked up: "The slave maid just collected the relics for Wenxiu." ”

"Wenxiu?" Shen Ningning hadn't heard of it.

Late Spring said with tears: "She, like the slaves and maids, is a domestic slave in the house, and she has been serving in the big house. ”

"But not long ago, I was transferred by Steward Pang to serve Second Mrs. Xie, and I thought that I was found dead in the pond on the other side of the second courtyard this morning."

"They said she didn't see clearly at night, fell into the pool, hit her head on the rockery, bled and fell unconscious, and froze to death."

Shen Ningning was very surprised.

"Didn't anyone see her fall into the pool over there in the second room?"

"Because the second lady has been in poor spirits recently, and she deliberately locked herself in the courtyard to think about it, so except for Wenxiu, no one else wants to go over."

In late spring, thinking that she had just passed, she saw a big blood hole in Wenxiu's head.

She felt terrible when she thought about it now, and she trembled with sadness.

"Wenxiu is a very gentle and introverted person, at first Steward Pang wanted to transfer Wenlan to the second courtyard, but Wenlan was afraid of the second lady's temper, so Wenxiu went over for her."

"Who would have thought that she would lose her life this time, maybe it was bad luck, hey......" Late Spring wiped her tears and cried bitterly.

The relics belonging to Wenxiu in his hand fell out with a bang.

It's all some of the paper on which she studied poetry.

Among them, there is also a particularly small jade carved rabbit, only the size of a small thumb, which also fell down.

Shen Ningning bent down to pick it up, looked at the jade rabbit, and opened his eyes: "What a beautiful object." ”

Late Spring glanced at it twice and recognized it: "This is what Wenxiu rewarded her when she was five years old, because Wenxiu is a rabbit." ”

Come to think of it, Wenxiu has always been very precious to Shen Siyi's things, and she also specially wore a rope and tied a red tassel.

As soon as Shen Ningning heard that it was given by his mother, he looked at it twice.

Suddenly, she noticed, "Huh? This rabbit has words underneath. ”

Late Spring also looked over curiously.

I saw that under the small jade rabbit, there were indeed two words engraved.

But...... The structure of this character is very unique, and it doesn't even look like the script of Cangyun Kingdom!

Late Spring was confused: "County Lord, what is this written?" ”

Shen Ningning scratched her pink face: "I don't understand it either." ”

She thought she had read a lot of books, so how could there be words she hadn't seen before?

Late spring suddenly remembered.

"The slave's mother once said that the eldest lady herself can write a set of characters, and everyone doesn't recognize it, only she understands what it means."

"For a while, the eldest lady relied on those obscure words to keep accounts, and at the beginning, the second lady wanted to snatch the management power of the house, so she didn't fight for our wife."

"The slave maid remembered that the eldest lady left a text analysis, which was written by herself, a thin volume, as if it was given to the second young master."

Shen Ningning blinked his eyes wide.

She clenched the jade rabbit with her small hand: "Late spring, what are you going to do with Wenxiu's relics?" ”

Speaking of this, I couldn't help but cry in late spring.

"Although Wenxiu is a family slave, after death, he can only be sent to the house slave mountain behind the ancestral tomb of Xie Fu, and he cannot have any funeral goods."

"The slave and maid plan to find a clay pot to seal these things, and when the slave and maid die in the future, they can be brought into the tomb and returned to her when they arrive in Huangquan."

Late Spring is a warm-hearted straight person, so sad, it seems that he really regards Wenxiu as a friend.

Shen Ningning blinked his eyes and said, "Is this good, I'll go and beg my father to let you bury these items with her." ”

"But this jade rabbit will lend me a few days, I will figure out what these two words are, and then return it to you."

Late Spring hurriedly wiped away her tears and kept nodding: "Okay!" County Lord, you are so good, as considerate as the eldest lady, it is really a blessing for Wenxiu. ”

At night.

Shen Ningning went to Xie Ming'an's courtyard.

Originally, Xie Ming'an had to deal with hundreds of files piled up by the county government below in Dali Temple.

But when he heard that Shen Ningning was waiting for him, he immediately put down his pen, explained to his subordinates, and rode back home.

"Little sister!" Before he could enter the door, he called.

As soon as he entered the study, he saw Shen Ningning lying on his desk, holding a pen, practicing calligraphy stroke by stroke.

Xie Ming'an's handsome face showed a warm smile.

He took off his coat, patted it, and stretched out his hand to roast it on the fire beside him for a while, and then walked over when his body was warm.

When he got closer, he saw that Shen Ningning was holding a jade rabbit and copying the inscriptions on it.

The little one was so engrossed that he didn't even know he was coming.

Xie Mingan pursed his lips and smiled.

Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Ningning's small body from behind.

"Little sister, I said that the second brother is back." As he spoke, he lifted Shen Ningning and spun around.

"Let go of me!" Shen Ningning was shaken by him, and his little head was dizzy.

She kicked her calves and struggled desperately in Xie Ming'an's arms, like a fat cat who couldn't get rid of humans, with a puffy little pink face.

Xie Ming'an laughed.

These days, he's been sticking a hot face to a cold ass, but it's okay.

To please his sister, he was willing.

Shen Ningning saw that he didn't let go, turned his wrist, grabbed the brush, and drew a cross on his face with two "hey" sounds.

Xie Ming'an was stunned, and the strength in his hand suddenly relaxed.

Shen Ningning landed steadily, not forgetting to put his little hands on his waist, and his eyes widened vividly.

"Don't sneak up on me from behind in the future!" The little guy warned fiercely.

At this time, she saw that Xie Ming'an's face was dark, and on his white jade-like face, the cross drawn by her was right in the middle of the bridge of his nose.

"Poof-" Shen Ningning laughed heartily, her little body trembling.

"You dare to laugh at me, look at the good things you have done!" Xie Ming'an took two sips, and the ink just threw out of his mouth.

Shen Ningning was even more happy, and her laughing waist was about to break.

Xie Ming'an narrowed his thin eyes, and suddenly stretched out his hand and ran over, intending to catch Shen Ningning.

The little one exclaimed and ran back and forth around the table.

She is small in size and quick to react.

Instead, Xie Ming'an played a group of things.

After a moment, Xie Ming'an stopped out of breath.

His slender palm held the corner of the table, and raised his annoyed thin eyes: "Don't chase it, you can also rest, run around, attract your father in a while, and scold me for bullying you." ”

Shen Ningning puffed up her little belly proudly.

"Not scolding me anyway." She blinked wide-eyed and looked sly.

A layer of fine sweat appeared on Xie Ming'an's forehead.

He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp before asking, "Tell me, what is the matter with you?" ”

Shen Ningning held up the jade rabbit and pointed to the two words engraved below.

"Are you literate? What's written here? ”

Xie Ming'an glanced at it.

"This is my mother's font, she said that this kind of character is called Huaguo characters, and your rabbit is engraved with ......"
