Xu Jinghuan's youthful maturity is well known to the whole family. There are no elders in the second room, so it's only right for the elder brother to teach his younger sister. Even the old lady can't say anything.

After Zhang Baoer's rash healed, he came first before Sister Xu Peining went to see her: "I've been bored at home for seven or eight days. I heard that you went to Louwailou. I was so envious. My sister-in-law also invited someone to go to the West Lake.

I didn’t even go to the opera."

Xu Peining smiled and said: "I heard that you have a rash. Is it on your face or on your body?"

Zhang Baoer came over to show her: "It's on my face, but the doctor said I took good care of myself, so there are no scars."

Because he had just recovered, if he looked closely, he could only see red marks on his face. Xu Peining said: "This is because you are lucky. What if there are really scars?"

Zhang Baoer smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. My sister-in-law gave me Pearl Beauty Cream and said it's best to apply it on your face. If you don't have scars, just treat it like a skin care product. If you have scars, it can be removed after a while."

Xu Miaoyun behaved a lot because of Xu Jinghuan's sincere confession that day. Zhang Baoer happily took her to Fayuan Temple to offer incense. Xu Miaoyun refused: "I have to write at home, and I have been delayed for several days. If I don't write anymore, I will become rusty."

.”

Zhang Baoer was a little disappointed, but she also knew that Xu Miaoyun was a stern brother, so she didn't dare to force it, so she said she would bring Xu Miaoyun the soy sauce beef, roast mutton, and fried noodles and fruits sold at the market at the foot of Fayuan Temple.

When Zhang Baoer came back from Fayuan Temple, he brought a basket of food to Xu Miaoyun. Xu Miaoyun gave the beef with soy sauce to the elder for dinner and dinner, and gave the roast mutton to the little girl. He only kept a little for himself and tasted it.

It was so exquisite that it was kept in the house for two days and given to the little girl. However, a message came from the Zhang family saying that Zhang Baoer had a stomachache after eating outside food and asked a doctor to take medicine.

Mrs. Zhang saw her rash and stayed at home for seven or eight days before taking her out. She didn't expect to be so careless. She was angry and distressed. She punished the two boys who went shopping and scolded Zhang Baoer.

A meal.

But neither the elder nor the little girls who had eaten the mutton felt anything bad. Xu Miaoyun felt very happy and ran over to visit Zhang Baoer.

Zhang Baoer lay on the bed with a sad face and drank medicine. She just had diarrhea and was fine after a sleep. But now she is still being forced to take medicine. She is really asking for trouble.

Xu Miaoyun was forced to stay by Zhang Baoer and had dinner with her before going back. On the way, she went to say hello to the old lady, but she saw the Xu family - from the old lady to the elders to several brothers and sisters, and their faces were not very good.

Not daring to ask what was wrong, he quietly sat next to Xu Jinghuan.

The old lady was silent for a while and then said: "You need to think carefully about this matter. Come up with an idea as soon as possible before anyone comes. You parents should be more careful."

The eldest master and eldest wife both agreed. On the way back, Xu Miaoyun asked Xu Jinghuan what was going on. Xu Jinghuan thought about it and said, "My aunt wrote a letter saying that Mrs. He has fallen in love with the eldest sister and wants to give it to the second son of the second wife of the He family.

"

Xu Miaoyun said: "Is the second son of the He family bad? Why are my grandmother and aunt not very happy?"

Xu Jinghuan wanted to help her understand the ways of the world, so he explained: "Although the person who said he was married was the legitimate son, his father, the second master of the He family, was a concubine. The legitimate son would become the legitimate son of the concubine. If the family is divided in the future, he cannot follow him.

Zhanguang, the eldest sister has no future if she marries her. If she is the eldest grandson of the He family, she is the eldest son of the aunt, and we are cousins. This marriage is worth talking about. Grandma feels that the He family is looking down on our family and bringing a bastard here.

I am asking to marry the eldest daughter of our family. My aunt wrote in a letter saying that Mrs. He even sent someone to come and see her. How could she ask a servant girl to come out to see her? This was never a rule. My grandmother was very angry and said that the marriage would be done no matter what.

Can't agree."

Xu Miaoyun was silent and couldn't help but hold her brother's hand tightly. Xu Jinghuan comforted him: "Don't worry, my grandmother has promised me. As long as I don't nod to your marriage, she will not agree."

Xu Miaoyun said worriedly: "Mrs. He sent someone here. If she talks nonsense and makes people think that our family has agreed to the marriage, won't it be the eldest sister who will suffer the loss?"

Xu Jinghuan smiled and said: "There are grandmothers and eldest aunts, so the He family will definitely not be able to control them." After a pause, he added: "When our Xu family was not in decline, Mr. He was just a young man with a fifth rank in the Hanlin Academy.

Official, it was my grandmother who took a fancy to my uncle's talent and knowledge and married my aunt, and my grandfather supported me in many ways, which made the He family what it is today. But when something happened to our family, in order to protect themselves, the He family ignored their past kindness and

Not only did she not lend a helping hand, but she also restrained her aunt and refused to allow her to go home to visit her. She was afraid of getting into trouble. From then on, my grandmother was disappointed. It was just that her aunt was still the daughter-in-law of the He family, so it was difficult to break up with her. If they continued to get married, my grandmother would definitely not

Agreed."

Xu Miaoyun rarely heard people mention the past events of the Xu family. Hearing this, he was stunned and said: "Then father and mother also passed away at that time?"

Xu Jinghuan tightened his hands and said loudly: "Yes, when my grandfather was a bachelor of Wenyuan Pavilion and entered the cabinet, King Kang was the eldest son and he was talented, so he should be made the prince. However, the emperor loved King Duan, and Queen Duan's mother held military power in the family.

, so many ministers in the court were afraid and did not dare to propose making King Kang the crown prince. It was his grandfather who took the lead and took the throne. The emperor did not say anything at the time. It was King Duan who said that his grandfather had been King Kang's teacher and now proposed to make King Kang the crown prince.

He formed a clique for personal gain and had evil intentions. The Queen Mother was ill at that time, and the Emperor was not in a good mood, so he demoted his grandfather to a commoner and stayed in the capital to await his punishment."

"But King Duan was still unwilling to give in. There was no peace in Fujian. King Duan forged a letter to impeach our father for having an affair with Fujian pirates and intending to commit treason. So people from the Ministry of Punishment came and took father away. Grandfather and uncle still have some connections.

, so he asked someone to inquire, and then he found out that since his father was imprisoned, he had been tortured every day. He wanted to give up, but he insisted that it was a false accusation. King Duan secretly sent someone to poison him, and he died.

In the big prison."

"My grandfather knew that my father had passed away. He ran to the palace gate in anger and cried to the late Emperor. He was humiliated by King Duan. At this time, King Kang stood up to plead for mercy. With the help of grandfather's old friends, the emperor pardoned my grandfather's crime of disrespect.

The house was confiscated, and the eldest uncle and his uncle were removed from office and demoted to common people. After his grandfather returned home, he fell ill and later died of depression. My mother couldn't bear the bad news of her father's death and hanged herself. At that time, the Xu family was under a dark cloud.

The situation was so precarious that my grandmother did not dare to stay in the capital any longer, so she moved her family back to her hometown in Hangzhou."

Xu Miaoyun sobbed softly: "Why did Prince Duan do this? My grandfather just took advantage of it, and the emperor did not agree."

Xu Jinghuan said: "King Duan has always been domineering. Just because his grandfather was cheated, he felt that his grandfather was deliberately going against him. Naturally, he wanted to kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Since his grandfather passed away, no one in the court dared to mention the matter of establishing a prince, for fear of being like his grandfather.

The fate of."

Xu Miaoyun felt more and more cold in her heart, and hugged Xu Jinghuan's arm tightly: "Brother, I'm so scared."

Xu Jinghuan patted his sister's back gently: "This is what happened in the court. The situation is changing and strange. If you are not careful, you will be in catastrophe. When King Duan impeached my father, it was just because of a trumped-up letter."

Xu Miaoyun had no memory when she came to Hangzhou, and she didn't know much about the Xu family's past. Everyone in the Xu family kept it secret. It was the first time she fully understood this matter, and she only felt scared. It turned out that the Xu family was in such decline.

Her parents died like that. Xu Miaoyun stayed up all night and went to see Xu Peining with dark circles under her eyes.

Xu Peining was making lotus leaf cakes in the small kitchen. The freshly grown lotus leaves were only the size of elm coins. She picked them, washed them, kneaded them and kneaded them into dough. The cakes she made had the fragrance of lotus leaves.

Xu Peining smiled and said: "It's not you who said we were kissing each other, so why do you seem to have stayed up all night?"

Xu Miaoyun lay beside her silently, waiting for the lotus leaf cake to come out of the pan. She ate four or five pieces in a row. Xu Peining quickly stopped her: "It's not good to eat too much. What's wrong with you? Are you out of your mind?"

Xu Miaoyun was stunned, and then she hugged Xu Peining and started crying: "Sister, I hate them so much. Why did they frame my grandfather and father? If it weren't for them, my grandfather and father would not have died."

Xu Peining was startled, and then realized that Xu Miaoyun must have heard something. She patted her gently and whispered: "A gentleman takes revenge. It is not too late in ten years. We must endure it. One day, we will make them pay with blood."

.”

Xu Miaoyun cried: "I'm really scared."

Xu Peining pushed Xu Miaojun away and said sternly: "You are the daughter of the Xu family. You have to be strong. You can't just cry and cry all the time. If you are so worthless, who will avenge the second uncle and second aunt in the future?"

Xu Miaoyun was startled after hearing this, then slowly wiped away her tears and said, "I understand, I won't cry anymore."

Xu Peining wiped her tears carefully and then said: "The emperor is old and trusts his eldest son King Kang more and more. When King Kang becomes powerful, it will be the time when King Duan is unlucky. Don't worry, there will always be a day of revenge, even if they are Longzi

Feng Sun, whatever you owe to our Xu family must be paid back with interest."

Xu Miaoyun said: "What about the He family's marriage proposal this time?"

Xu Peining said calmly: "I don't know, just listen to my grandmother's arrangement. The eldest and second brothers can pass the imperial examination and get scholars, and after becoming officials, they can redress the injustice of Xu Jiaping, but we girls can only do so much. The only use is to get married.

, so our marriage must be knotted on the edge of a knife."

Xu Miaoyun was stunned for a long time without speaking.

Xu Miaoyun has been silent for a long time since she talked with Xu Jinghuan and Xu Peining. Xu Jinghuan and Xu Peining naturally knew about it and did not ask. Xu Jinghan was very worried and made a Buddha himself to jump over the wall to see her: "I have been stewing all day.

Give it a try."
