Written in front: The next two articles are written about Xin Wei's memories.

Among the four wildernesses, the most lively is the mortal world.

There is a large family living in Shanghe Street, the mansion is magnificent, covering an area of more than ten acres, holding mountains and waters, the garden is quiet and quiet, and it is a gorgeous scene. If someone enters by mistake, I am afraid that they will think that they have gone to the fairyland.

The big family's surname is Xin, not an official or a general, and he donated some silver to pick up a title to live in this small place, and everyone calls him Xin Yuanwai.

Xin Yuanwai has a son and a daughter, the daughter has a natural appearance, like a goddess descending to earth, smart and clever since childhood, under the guidance of Mr. Teaching, she learned the Four Books and Five Classics, and the female morality is admonished, and her demeanor is not comparable to ordinary people.

She will be the one who will be the imperial concubine in the future, so her father taught.

Miss Xin is Xin Wei.

She also has a younger brother, but unfortunately this younger brother was blocked at birth, and after the midwife rescued him, his brain was a little bright, and he became a fool who everyone hated.

Even the name was drafted - Xin Deng. It is said that Xin Deng was a little older and was carried to the lobby with Xin Wei to wait for Xin Yuan to give a name, Xin Yuan turned over seven or eight classics, and asked the fortune teller to give Xin Wei a name and felt that his body was tired, but there was still a Xin Lantern left without a name, he looked at the full hall of brilliance, the lights were bright, and casually recited such a name, and said: "The lights are bright, this child will definitely make a difference in the future." ”

Everyone present could see Xin Yuanwai's attitude, the biological mother of the sister and brother died of illness less than a year after giving birth, and Xin Deng was not welcomed in Xin Mansion since then.

Xin Yuanwai didn't like this stupid son, but Xin Wei was very precious, so Xin Deng always stuck to her. But Xin Yuan regarded Xin Wei as the pearl in his palm, and naturally he didn't want his stupid son to entangle Xin Wei all day long, so that people could see the joke.

For this reason, Xin Deng was not less beaten. When he grew up a little and knew that there was a difference between men and women, that his sister was the pride of the sky, and that she would be the one who would be the imperial concubine in the future, that he was a fool and that his sister's reputation was not good, he slowly learned to keep his distance.

Whenever Xin Wei was reading and practicing calligraphy or admiring flowers and painting in the garden, Xin Deng would obediently stand at a distance of 100 meters away and look at her and smirk, Xin Wei beckoned to him and called him over, but he turned around and ran.

Xu is father always asked people to discipline him and beat him, so he was afraid. Xin Wei looked at her younger brother who fled in embarrassment, pinched the handkerchief in her hand, and when she became the imperial concubine in the future, she took her younger brother to enjoy the blessings, so that he didn't have to be so low-voiced and compromised.

Xin Wei grew day by day in Xinfu, and the newborn delicate flower bones finally grew into a quiet and fragrant flower. Xin Deng also grew up with her little by little, unlike Xin Wei's Jin Gui, Xin Deng was abandoned to an unpopular nurse in the house since he was a child, and he worked as a choresman every day to earn some scraps of silver to subsidize the family, and he couldn't even get an ordinary family

The monthly salary inherent in the servant.

Xin didn't know him, and he always secretly stuffed him with some silver, but every time he saw Xin Wei, he didn't accept the silver, just looked at her and smirked, shouting repeatedly: "Sister." ”

Today, Xin Yuan went out to go out, Xin Wei went to the kitchen to get some snacks, and took a personal maid to Xin Deng, who lived in the backyard side room. Because of her father's discipline and restraint, she hadn't seen Xin Deng for three months, and she didn't know how he was doing.

"Mama, it's me. Xin Wei knocked on the door and said softly, the nurse saw that Xin Wei was busy and was about to kneel, Xin Wei helped her up, and said with a smile: "I have talked to Mama more than a hundred times, I don't have to salute when I see me, and there are no outsiders here, it seems that Mama is really old, and her memory is much worse." ”

"Miss is a lesson. The nurse led Xin Wei into the house, pointed to a place separated by a curtain in the narrow room, and lowered her voice, "Ah Deng has had a fever these days, and now he just fell asleep, Miss, go over and take a look." This stupid kid is burned and confused, and when I see it, I thought it was you, and I didn't let go, but this can be regarded as coming. ”

Xin Wei put down the food box in his hand, "What? Ah Deng is sick? Why don't I know about this." ”

The nurse didn't dare to look at Xin Wei's eyes, but said crampedly: "It's useless for the old body, I didn't take good care of this child, the young lady will punish it, and the old body will never complain." ”

Xin Wei was silent for a moment, she knew what the nurse meant, her younger brother was now abandoned by his father, he was a handyman in the house, who could care about the life and death of the handyman? The nurse was old and her status was low, if she went to the front yard to look for herself, she was afraid that she would be swept out before she even entered the door.

Thinking of this, she shook the nurse's hand and comforted softly: "Don't blame you, I know, it's all my father's meaning." ”

With that, she lifted the curtain, and her face was red from the burning lamp on the bed, and she was sweating constantly. It was already nine cold winters, but he only wore a thin cotton jacket with many patches, and the quilt was also made of several layers of thin cloth, which did not protect him from the cold at all.

Xin Wei clenched Xin Deng's hand and called softly: "Ah Deng, it's Sister, Sister is here." ”

The person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, and saw the woman with a faint smile in front of him, his fingers stiffened and wanted to pull out, he was a fool, he didn't deserve to be in contact with his sister, but he moved, greedy for the warmth in his hand, he still didn't pull it out, leaned towards Xin Wei's side, smothered on her knees, for a long time, cried, "Auntie hasn't been here for a long time, I thought Auntie didn't want me anymore." ”

"Sister won't drop the lamp. Xin Wei touched his head to coax him, and only got up when he saw that he was gradually falling asleep.

"Mama, you have this silver. Xin Wei instructed the maid beside him to stuff the envelope that had been wrapped long ago to Mama, "Father is very strict in terms of accounts, I secretly saved some, you see if it is enough, now that the weather is cold, it's time to buy some quilts, Ah Deng is also big."

I've grown a lot, and I don't see the clothes in the past fitting, so let's go buy some more. And yourself, go buy some too, you are older and pay attention to keeping warm. ”

Mama pinched the envelope and almost knelt down for Xin Wei, "There is a huge Xin Mansion, and only Miss wants to get us." ”

"That's as it should be. Xin Wei walked out with her in his arms, looking up at the sky, it was about to snow.

"Miss, the end of the year is approaching, a letter came from the old family, the daughter-in-law gave birth to a fat boy, and asked the old man to go back to see his grandson, but the old man was worried that no one would take care of the stupid child. Mama seemed to hesitate for a long time before she spoke, "I don't know if Miss can ask someone to watch him for a few days, and the old man will come back as soon as he sees his grandson." ”

"It's a happy event, it's time to go back. Xin Wei gently patted the back of Mama's hand and said, "Go back and take a look, you have taken care of my brother and me for all these years, you should go back to see your family." ”

"Later, I will ask someone to pack some things for you to take back, Ah Deng, you don't have to worry about it here, my father is busy at the end of the year, and there is a lot less restraint on me, and it is approaching the New Year, my father will not be angry. ”

Xin Wei faintly looked back at the dilapidated house. Ah Deng has lived here for so many years, he has never gone out, and he has never seen how prosperous and lively it is outside, and he has the opportunity to take him out to see it this year.

He's sure to be happy.

After Mama left, Xin Wei tried his best to place Xin Deng near his residence, and every day his personal maid went to send food and water to change the clothes, Xin Yuanwai had to go to the palace to do something at the end of every year, and this year was the same, he hadn't come back for several days, and even passed a message that someone in the palace did everything possible to keep him, and he was not at home for the New Year this year.

Xin Wei was much freer in the house, and one day when the weather was still good, she ordered her to go out for a walk and look and buy some things. He brought a maidservant and a servant, and a lamp.

The first time the Xin lantern came out, the outside was bustling and abnormal, the lights of thousands of homes were flickering, pedestrians were weaving, and the laughter was loud. He opened his eyes wide and looked at the excitement around him, a few children running past him, he lowered his eyes and looked at the wooden butterflies and dragonflies in their hands, and he was a little envious.

Xin Wei combed the broken hair in front of his forehead for him, and said softly: "Do you want Ah Deng too?"

Xin Deng twisted his clothes with his hands, blushed and whispered: "I want it, I want it." ”

"Okay, what Ah Deng wants, my sister will definitely be satisfied. Xin Wei scratched his nose, pulled him to the nearest stall, pointed to the stall full of colorful gadgets and asked, "Which one does Ah Deng want?"

Xin Deng watched happily and asked for a few wooden boats, a small house and a paper windmill. Xin Wei saw that he was smiling brightly, smiling contentedly, and couldn't help but laugh too, "Ah Deng is so easy to be satisfied." ”

Xin Deng smiled and followed behind Xin Wei, even if Xin Wei specially took him out to play today, sometimes he would subconsciously hide back, and pedestrians on the street would be amazed when they saw Sister, and they must not embarrass Sister.

Approaching the end of the year, there are many people who buy New Year's goods, Xin Wei picked some things, suddenly saw the sugar gourd, remembered that Xin Deng likes to eat sweets, so I wanted to ask him if he wanted it, but when he looked back, where was there a Deng?

Xin Wei was in a hurry and asked, "Where is Ah Deng?"

The housekeeper and the maid saw that the young lady who never lost her temper was angry, and there were signs of crying, knowing that Xin Deng was really important to her, and she didn't find a reason to go back to the house and let people know that she had made the young lady cry, and it was not as simple as suffering at that time, so she had to lower her head and explain in a low voice: "Fang Cai Ah Deng...... Young Master Ah Deng kept retreating, and he refused to go forward when we pulled him, and he couldn't ask anything, only that he would follow us, and the little one didn't know when he got lost. ”

"Look for it, it shouldn't be far yet. Xin lifted her skirt and ran around the street before she finished speaking, completely losing the usual posture of moving lightly, and now, she just wants to find her younger brother.

"Do you know who I am?" There seemed to be something going on in front of him, surrounded by a group of people, Xin Wei heard a manly voice from a distance, "Dare to protect this fool, I don't think you want to live!"

Idiot?

Xin didn't subconsciously walk over there.
