Splendid spring returns

Chapter 95
"Really, you are so thoughtful." Xinghua looked at Xin Nian with great interest: "Auntie, why don't we go over to join in the fun? Even if we buy seven or eight girls, grandma has nothing to say, the situation in our yard Now here it is."

Xin Nian didn't know what she was thinking, Xinghua yelled twice before she came back to her senses, raised her brows, and said softly: "It's time to go to grandma's, but we don't need to join in the fun, maybe, I'm going Maybe it's a disappointment."

"what?"

Xinghua and Jinzhen were stunned, but Xin Nian didn't say much, turned around and took off the cloak from the hanger, shook it off and put it on for herself.Xinghua rushed over to help her tie the belt, wondering, "Where is Auntie going?"

"Go to the study room and ask the prince for advice. By the way, see if the two of them have finished their exams. You don't have to follow, I can go there by myself. No one in this mansion who can eat me has yet to be born."

"Hi! Auntie is joking again."

Xinghua stomped her feet, but seeing Xin Nian's rare smile, she was also relieved: after so many days since the concubine passed away, finally the former spirit of my aunt has returned.

When he came to the study, his homework had already been tested. Seeing Gu Changting's sullen look, Xin Nian couldn't help but wondered, "What? Isn't Liu Zai doing well? Then don't worry, the child is still young..."

"No, Liu Zai is really good, even better than when I was a child." Gu Changting handed a letter on the table to Xin Nian: "The family letter from the eldest sister, brother-in-law... also passed away due to illness a few days ago."

"Ah?" Xin Nian took the letter, and before he could read it, he was stunned by Gu Changting's words.After a while, he let out a long sigh, and murmured: "What's the matter? Is it the days when Lord Yan takes people in these days? Why are these one by one... It's really not possible, Lord, let's invite an eminent monk to come over to do a religious ceremony."

Gu Changting smiled wryly: "Are you confused? Although they are my brother-in-law, they are the government of An Guo, so what does it have to do with our family? Besides, I have never believed in these monks and Taoists. When did my ancestors and mother have such a relationship?" Let's talk about it."

Xin Nian sat down opposite Gu Changting, and when she saw Liu Zai approaching, she hugged her son, took out a handkerchief to wipe his face, and said, "It's too hot in this room, since there are earth dragons, we can get rid of that Remove the few pots of charcoal fire, otherwise it will be warm at the moment, if you go out and let the wind blow, you may catch a cold."

Gu Changting hurriedly said: "You're right." He asked someone to remove several pots of burning charcoal fire.

I heard Xin Nian sigh again: "Eldest sister is also a hard-working person, I just hope that after experiencing this blow, she won't be too depressed. That's right, did you send someone there?"

"It's been dismissed." Gu Changting rubbed his temples: "I haven't told my mother the news I just got, so I don't know how sad she will be."

Xin Nian remained silent, thinking to himself: Could this be retribution?It's just that it's too inappropriate for one person to do things and one person to be responsible.The concubine who was killed by the concubine shouldn't be punished by her son-in-law and daughter.

Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Gu Changting ask: "Nian Nian, you came here to see how Liu Zai's homework is doing?"

"No." Xin Nian shook his head: "I have been busy with my sister's funeral these days, and now that everything is over, I see that there are not enough people in my courtyard, so I came here to ask you for an idea."

Gu Changting said with a smile: "Come on, don't act like you're angry right now. If you don't have enough manpower, you can add more. If you don't have any in the house, you can buy from outside. Why do you need to discuss this with me? Could it be that Jiaru is embarrassing you? "

"Why? Don't blame grandma." Xin Nian said with a smile: "I was thinking, once my sister goes, her courtyard will be empty, and there won't be too many people there, so why don't you call a few over to me?" The servants in the courtyard, I like them to follow their elder sister to do things steadily. In a year or two, Liu Zai and Yaya should also have two people who act steadily, why don't they help me take care of the little girls? The reduction is enough."

"This is even better, and they must all be willing to follow you."

Gu Changting nodded in praise.Xin Nian said with a smile: "You just agree. I'm afraid that if I leave them rashly, people will say that I'm frivolous. An aunt is also worthy of being served by the princess?"

"How can there be such a saying? Tell me, Feng Rongquan will be pleased if she knows about it. She has always been kind and gentle. If she knows that her girls are taken care of by you, she will be happy."

"Yes." Xin Nian nodded: "I will definitely not disappoint my sister."

Coming out of the study, Xin Nian looked around, then went to Princess Qin's yard.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the sky was covered by dark clouds, and the old trees and withered vines in the yard looked even more deserted and desolate.

An old woman was sitting on a stone pier, her eyes were a little dull, her gray hair and worn-out cotton jacket were rustling by the wind, she didn't know how to salute when she saw Xin Nian, and she didn't even get up.

"What's wrong with Mother Hu?" Xin Nian frowned, feeling something was wrong: "Also, where are the people in the yard? Where have they all gone?"

After calling twice, Mama Hu came back to her senses. When she saw her, she hurriedly stood up and heard Xin Nian ask where everyone went?She replied blankly: "I have packed up my things. Grandma sent someone over, saying that once the princess dies, we will no longer be members of Duanwang's mansion. They will sell us out and let us pack up. Human teeth will die tomorrow morning." Come get someone."

Xin Nian sneered and said: "I really guessed rightly, grandma is grandma after all, she won't give up if she doesn't do her best."

After finishing speaking, he asked again: "Then will all the people in this courtyard be sold?"

"No. Sister-in-law Chen, Sister Lin and Shuangyun Shuangxi are all arranged to work elsewhere."

"Just a few of them? Everyone else will be sold? No one else will be left behind?"

Xin Nian knew that the ones who were left behind were all the eyeliners placed by Concubine Liao and the Liao family here, but according to the judgment, one or even two people should be left behind.

"Oh, Aunt Fang and Ling'er in the small kitchen were summoned by the concubine the day before yesterday, saying that the dim sum they made was good, and they will be kept in the concubine's courtyard from now on. They are lucky. Errand."

"That's it."

Xin Nian's eyes turned red, and a surge of grief and anger welled up in her heart. She clenched her fists tightly, and after a long while, she breathed slowly and let go of her fingers one by one, nodding her head and repeating in a low voice: "That's it."

"Auntie."

Mother Hu stared blankly at Xin Nian, and saw her waving her hand and said, "It's nothing. It's cold outside, you go and sit in the concierge, don't worry, I'll take care of everything, and I won't let you get sold out."

"Auntie."

Mother Hu was taken aback for a moment, then she looked at Xin Nian in surprise as if she had come to life, but she saw that she had already climbed the steps Shi Shiran, and soon entered the main room.
