carved heart

Chapter 7 The first appearance (4)
Unexpectedly, after a while, no one came out.After a long while, a servant stuck his head out and said, "Big... Miss, Madam has prepared a new house for you in Nanyuan, and all the things in your original house have been moved there. Madam also said that you should take good care of it, Madam." Body, Madam is still cooking porridge for you, Miss, in the kitchen."

Hearing this, Ah Yin couldn't help frowning slightly.

The house of the Yin family is a courtyard with two entrances. The master of the Yin family is arty and elegant, and he calls the inner courtyard the Dongyuan and the outer courtyard the Nanyuan. Previously, people from the two houses were crowded in the Dongyuan, and Ah Yin also shared a small corner in the corner. One room, and Xinna's third aunt was placed in Nanyuan.

Now she only went out to recuperate for half a month, and when she got home, she didn't even have her room.

Dong Yun said with a smile: "In the past, the eldest girl and Miss Xuan shared a small room, and Madam also felt wronged by Miss Xuan, but now the eldest girl has moved to Nanyuan, the room in Nanyuan is bigger, besides the main couch, there is also a low couch , the two girls don’t need to share the same bed anymore.”

Ah Yin asked calmly, "Where does Third Aunt live?"

Dong Yun coughed lightly, and said: "The master thought that the girl will get married in a while, so he let the third aunt live in the eldest girl's room." As he spoke, as if thinking of something, Dong Yun slapped himself hard on the forehead, and said: "Look at this servant's memory, why did you forget the most important thing? Miss, this servant is going to report to Madam, saying that Miss's chicken pox is cured, and her face is also healed."

Dongyun hurriedly walked towards Dongyuan.

Just when there was a spring breeze blowing up the few strands of hair on Ah Yin's temples, she stretched out her hand and brushed it behind her ears, her brows and eyes turned cold.Mingming's surname is Yin, and this place is also Yin's family, but looking at the wooden door in Dongyuan, he seems to be separated forcibly, as if the people inside, the things inside, and the laughter inside are all related to her Yinyin. irrelevant.

"elder sister……"

A Yin shook his head and said: "Let's talk about it when we go back to the room, the partition wall has ears here." As soon as the words fell, Ah Yin felt a little ridiculous that he could use the word partition wall has ears in his own home.

The two of them had just returned to their room, and before they sat down, Qin's voice had already arrived.

"A Yin! Quickly show your face to your mother." As soon as Qin Shi entered the room, she went straight to A Yin, held her hand, and couldn't stop looking at her face, especially the right side of her face, with delighted eyes. , really looked and looked, and touched lightly with his hands, with a thankful look, and only said: "God bless, God bless."

As she said that, Qin Shi gave Jiang Xuan a look.

"What's the matter with you? The eldest girl came back for a long time, and she didn't even know how to prepare tea? Our Yin family didn't raise you to support idlers."

Jiang Xuan hurriedly said: "Ah Xuan will prepare tea immediately."

Ah Yin said: "No need, I'm not thirsty. My younger sister has just come back and I'm tired after thinking about it. My younger sister is going to rest first. Mother still wants to talk to me about myself." Qin Shi glared at her again: "Stupid in a daze. What are you doing here? Why don’t you stay in the house? You’ve grown so big, you can’t even wink, how can you serve the eldest girl in the future?”

Jiang Xuan responded in a low voice.

Ah Yin gave her a gentle look.

As soon as Jiang Xuan left, the Qin family said again: "You, you spoiled her too much and lived in our house. If your grandfather insisted, who would be willing to raise an idler?" Ah Yin said: "Ah Xuan On weekdays, I also make embroidered handkerchiefs to subsidize the family." She also wanted to say that Ah Xuan's embroidered handkerchiefs were selling very well, and the money she earned was more than enough to support two of them.Qin was dissatisfied, and raised her voice: "This is what she deserves! When our family didn't take her in, she has already been living on the streets."

As if thinking of something, Qin's voice softened again.

"You just protect her. You can't do this when you get married. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Mother made you a new dress. Don't always wear an apricot skirt. Our A Yin is young and looks young, the same Can wear pink and light yellow."

Qin shook off a piece of clothing, it was a breast-length Confucian skirt with a pink and purple magnolia pattern, and the skirt was full of flowers, giving it a very spring atmosphere.

Ah Yin only glanced at it, and said again: "Didn't my mother say to save food and money a while ago? Why did you suddenly make me a new set of clothes?" Qin said: "The bride price from the Xie family has come, You are going to get married in a while, how can you not have a few sets of attractive clothes? You are the mother's daughter, and the dowry is properly prepared, so you will not lose face in Xie's house."

As soon as the betrothal gift was received, Qin took part of it and made four seasons clothes for brother Hao first, the master also made two new sets of robes, and made one for himself, and bought a bolt of high-quality material with the remaining money , made a chest-length Confucian skirt for Ah Yin.

How could Ah Yin not know?
From childhood to adulthood, whatever she has, Brother Hao will definitely have more.It's just that she doesn't want to worry about these things. If she cares too much, her heart feels uncomfortable and her head hurts.Now she only cares about one thing, she asked bluntly: "Mother, I almost lost my appearance earlier, the Xie family still wants to marry me as a regular wife?"

Qin said: "Xie's young man has you in his heart, so many girls can't look forward to it."

Ah Yin asked, "Does mother want me to be a concubine?"

Her clear eyes made Qin feel guilty, so he could only turn his head away and said, "Ayin, you heard from mother that the rest of your life's joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys will be on Xie's little man, and the most important thing is that he has you in his heart." , Fame can be ignored."

"Mother, has it ever occurred to me that one day Xie Xiaolang will no longer love me, and at that time, how should I deal with myself as a concubine who was beaten and killed by his wife?"

Mrs. Qin said: "Why is there a day? Mr. Xie's family can wait for you for five years, which shows his sincerity. You don't have to think too much. When you get married and are loved by your husband and son-in-law, you are still young and can quickly conceive a child. Waiting for you Give birth to a son, even if you are old and fading, you still have children to rely on."

Ah Yin said: "Mother, I don't want to marry."

When Qin heard this, she became anxious, and said: "Isn't it just to be a concubine? You are not too young, and people like the Xie family are willing to marry you. It is our ancestors who burned incense. Besides, the bride price has been accepted, so what?" Is there any talk about the dowry gift?"

A Yin said coldly: "Mother is more worried about whether Brother Hao can go to Shouquan School than to withdraw the betrothal gift?"

Qin's complexion suddenly changed.

"Rebellious girl! How dare you talk back to your mother!" A black shadow suddenly appeared, and with a loud slap, a loud slap fell on Ah Yin's side face. It's only natural to do something, let alone marry such a good family. The most important thing for a woman is to be meek, who got used to you with your bad temper? Let me tell you, even if your grandfather is here today, I will still beat you." Said Then, raising her hand again, Qin Shi looked at the slap print on her daughter's face, and said distressedly: "If you want to marry after a while, it's not good to leave a mark. Ah Yin, you still haven't confessed to your father!"

Ah Yin suddenly lowered his eyes.

The saber-rattling just now disappeared completely.

She said, "My daughter knows she was wrong."

Jiang Xuan boiled two hot eggs, wrapped them in cotton cloth, and gently rubbed Ah Yin's slightly swollen cheeks.She whispered: "Sister, why can't she hold her breath today? Before, my sister never quarreled with the master and his wife. They always avoid if they can, and endure if they can."

"I just want to give myself up completely."

Previously, her parents kept everything secret from her, and she still had a glimmer of hope in the dead of night occasionally.Today's slap is so much more than today, and what her parents said, she understands thoroughly that this family is really not worth nostalgia for.

Ah Yin said: "Sister, go to Hediao Town tomorrow to see what news there is from Fan Xiaolang."

"it is good."

When Jiang Xuan left the next day, Qin Weng gave Ah Yin an invitation card, written clearly in black and white, it was Xie Shaohuai who asked her to meet in Taoshan.Ah Yin thought about it, but still went to the appointment on time.

Seeing Xie Shaohuai again, Ah Yin found that she had lost her original heartbeat.

All the beautiful friendships have become so ridiculously vicissitudes in the five years of procrastination, and there is not even a single bit of emotion if life is just like the first time.

Xie Shaohuai said guiltily: "Ayin, Shaohuai has tried his best. But don't worry, I will never let anyone bully you in the future. I will protect you well, cherish you, and love you for the rest of my life. If Ah Yin doesn't believe it, Shaohuai Huai can swear to the sky, if he can't do it, he will..." He paused, and at times like this in the past, Ah Yin would take a look at him and tell him to shut up.But now Ah Yin is looking at him quietly, making the four words in his throat confused, and it took him a long time to spit out: "The sky is struck by thunder."

Ah Yin didn't look moved at all.

Xie Shaohuai secretly told himself that Ah Yin must be angry.My mother said, it's fine if the woman is angry and coaxed.

She said: "Shaohuai, do you remember what you said to me back then?"

"Remember! I remember every sentence clearly in my heart."

"Is it?"

"What did you say to me when we first met here?"

Xie Shaohuai hurriedly said: "If I can't marry you as my wife, we can get together well..." Before the words were spoken, Xie Shaohuai's face changed slightly, and he said foolishly: "Ayin, I will really treat you well Yes, don't be angry, I... I will not enter the wife's room in the future!"

Ah Yin asked, "Do you still have me in your heart?"

"Yes! I have you in my heart and in my liver!"

"Then you call off my marriage."

"No!" Xie Shaohuai said firmly, "I must marry you."

Ah Yin didn't say a word, even though Xie Shaohuai's words were broken, he still showed no expression.Xie Shaohuai was also a little annoyed, thinking that what his mother said was indeed true, women should not be spoiled too much, he talked all the way out, and she didn't feel sorry for her.

The two parted unhappily.

When Ah Yin descended the mountain, he was caught off guard by a man in black clothes.She couldn't help feeling vigilant, and said coldly, "Who are you?"

The man in Xuanyi had an ordinary appearance, which she had never seen before.

"If you are in trouble, just take this token to the Tianling Inn, and all problems will be solved."

The man in Xuanyi disappeared quickly.

A Yin stared blankly at the token in his palm.

She had seen that day in the woods of Cangshan Mountain, the white jade finger of that noble man called Lord Hou.

The man in Xuanyi went back to report, but was stopped by Yan Mo when he came out.

Yan Mo asked, "What did Lord Hou say?"

The man in Xuanyi shook his head, and said: "Master Hou only said one thing." Yanmo asked expectantly, "What did you say?" Leave, sighing in frustration.

Yan Shen walked out from nowhere, glanced at Yan Mo, and asked, "Curious?"

Yan Mo nodded, knowing that usually his Lord Hou was very close to that white jade treasure, and he didn't want others to touch it.A few years ago, there was a maid who was not good-looking and relied on her beauty trying to climb onto the bed of Lord Hou, but she accidentally touched Lord Hou's white jade wrench. In the house, everyone who had any relationship with that maid was beaten ten times, and no one in the Hou's mansion dared to think carefully again.

Now that he actually gave such a precious white jade ring finger to a little girl, no matter how reticent Yan Mo usually is, he couldn't help but want to find out.

Yan Shen shook his head and looked at him with hopeless eyes: "I usually say that your brain turns slowly, but I didn't expect you to turn even slower when it comes to the word love. That girl of the Yin family can tell at a glance It's an idea. It just happened that the girl was in trouble, and our Lord Hou extended a helping hand. When the matter is over, the Yin family still has no heart for our Lord Hou?" Yan Shen said with a look of admiration: "I didn't expect that Lord Hou is not close on weekdays. Female sex, once you get close, you are a master of masters, four words, you can learn by yourself without a teacher."

Yan Mo was silent for a while, and said: "You also said that Yin Shi has an idea, in case she doesn't accept Master Hou's kindness..."

Yan Shen laughed loudly: "The current situation of the Yin family is that there are fierce tigers in the front and pursuers in the rear. She is just a little girl and has no support at home. If she doesn't want to marry, what else can she do except ask Lord Hou for help? I'll tell you Bet, within five days, she won't come to Tianling Inn to beg Lord Hou..." Looking around, he pointed to the cook who was holding a piece of raw pork in the backyard of the inn, and said: "I will eat pork raw!"

Yanmo said: "You don't even know why Lord Hou came to Gongcheng, I don't believe you."

Yan Shen swore firmly and authentically: "Master Hou's mind is going around in circles, it's normal that I can't figure it out. But Yin, I'm [-]% sure."

However, after four days passed, Yan Shen's neck grew long in the Tianling Inn, and he still didn't see Ah Yin's figure.

Yan Mo took a piece of bloody raw pork and threw it on the table, looking at Yan Shen without saying a word.Yan Shen swallowed his saliva, and said coldly, "Why are you so anxious, this is only the fourth day, and there is another day."

Having said that, I started to worry in my heart.

At noon the next day, Yan Shen hadn't seen anyone from Ah Yin yet.He rubbed his hands and decided to go to Yin's house to find out.The gatekeeper of the Yin family was only an old man, and his words and skills were excellent, so he easily entered the Yin's house and found Ah Yin's room with ease.

However, the door of the room was closed tightly, and Yan Shen hadn't found a breakthrough for a while.

At this moment, footsteps sounded.

Yan Shen dodged and lay down on the roof.He tapped on the roof tiles lightly, and found that several pieces were loose, so he moved one of them away.The house was backlit and the room was dark. Jiang Xuan lit another lamp and complained in a low voice: "No wonder San Yiniang has to move to Dongyuan. This is the reason. Sister, I brewed a pot of wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea. The most important thing is to improve your eyesight. You have been using your eyes day and night these days, so drink more. My sister’s eyes are big and watery, so don’t ruin the pair of beautiful eyes bestowed by God.”
