Chapter 12 New Year 3

On the first day of the first lunar month, I was woken up by the sound of firecrackers outside. Although most of the maids and servants have stayed up for a long time, they are particularly energetic.

Several rooms gathered in the main courtyard. As soon as the ninth sister stepped into the room, Deng's mother greeted her with a smile, "The ninth sister is here!" Maybe he remembered that there was an old lady in the main courtyard now. Obviously, he raised more and more. Seeing that the old lady was not angry, he simply retreated aside.

The old lady's kind eyes swept over Sister Jiu, "Come and sit with your grandmother!"

Just after the Spring Festival, the room was full of joy. As soon as the words came out, it suddenly became quiet. Only a few juniors occasionally said a few words, but they still found the strangeness of the elders and banned their voices.

The ninth sister lowered her eyebrows, put her hands in her lower abdomen, and quickly moved to the old lady in the main seat.

The whole room looked at the ninth sister. They didn't understand why the ninth sister had such an honor to sit on the soft couch in the main seat with the old lady.

The second wife picked up the teacup, blew away the tea on the water and took a sip to hide her jealousy. Even if she lives in the main courtyard now, that position is not something she can touch now. It's okay for Sister Jiu to be raised by the old lady's side, but not long after she came, the old lady was eager to show her goodwill with Sister Jiu. The second wife sneered in her heart, and the corner of her eyes just put the expressions of everyone in the room into her eyes.

The ninth sister walked from the door to the soft couch in fear. Although there were only a few steps, she walked for a long time, like a needle on her body, especially when the sixth sister and the fourth sister looked at her, her eyes showed fierce light, and she really wanted to eat her.

When he walked to the old lady's side, he blessed the old lady and turned his eyes in fear. Then he put his body on the soft couch a little, but he didn't dare to really sit on it. Protected by the old lady, the hostility that fell on her disappeared a lot, and she was slightly relieved. Obviously, the old lady's majesty in the yard is still there.

The second wife put down the teacup, looked at the ninth sister generously, and praised, "The material chosen by the old lady really matches the ninth sister. In this way, it compares all the ladies in the room."

The old lady said happily, "Of course, my granddaughter deserves the clothes taken out from the palace."

The second wife's face was stiff, but she didn't expect that the old lady would embarrass her on the first day of the New Year. She looked at the sixth sister beside her, and then looked at the ninth sister. The ninth sister's face was dark, but she was skinny. She sat submissively next to the old lady. There was no direct daughter. Her eyes flashed fiercely, "Ninth sister Blessed is this material, even the head and face-like lady in the palace only has such a year. The old lady is generous.

I don't know whether this is gloating or something, and everyone's eyes on Sister Jiu changed a little.

Although the ninth sister is only eight years old, she has already been predicant. The second wife is adding a block to the ninth sister, and she is even beating the old lady in the face. But if the man knows about this today, I don't know what to think of the Xue family. This is not a matter of face.

The old lady's face darkened, and she just wanted to dispel the arrogance of the second wife. This year, although she was not in charge of the family, she was clear about the actions of the second wife, but the second wife actually said such brainless words. This is not only related to the ninth sister, but also the face of the whole Xue family. The second wife just said clearly that she wanted the ninth sister to regret her marriage and send her to the palace.

The third wife said with a smile, "Some time ago, you also made a few sets of clothes for the third sister and the sixth sister with the Jiangsu imperial edict Su Jin, a dark flower rewarded by the princess, which is special for the royal family. The Queen's place is only two in a year, and the one you got here has made clothes for the third sister and the sixth sister. Fortunately, the old lady loves the ninth sister and doesn't want her granddaughter to compare with her.

The third wife is plump, and now she looks like a kind person, but this makes the second wife lose face. In the words, she clearly and secretly accused the second wife of wanting to send both the third sister and the sixth sister to the palace.

The old lady was in a much better mood, but she blamed the third lady for not being able to speak, but her face still eased a lot.

The second aunt said with a smile, "The third sister didn't arrive until a while ago. The sixth sister and the ninth sister were still early, and the fourth sister and fifth sisters didn't say anything about marriage. The old lady and the second wife both love the ladies. We can still make a few sets of clothes during the Spring Festival. If they dress poorly, I don't know how those ladies in Chang'an will entertain Xue's house. The concubine is really greedy for those clothes, but the concubine is also a servant. Even if she wears it, she is not as good as several direct ladies.

As she spoke, the second aunt looked at the unobstructed envy in the eyes of the three ladies.

The old lady is satisfied with her second aunt's words. Although her second aunt is just a concubine, her behavior is no worse than that of her mistress, that is, her background is worse.

As soon as the second aunt said this, she saw that the old lady's face was full of smiles again, and the second lady's eyes changed. She is the mother of Xue's family, but the old lady and the second master spoil an aunt. How can she swallow this breath?

The second aunt calmly greeted the second wife. With the support of the old lady, she was not afraid of the second wife.

The second wife glanced over the second aunt, her eyes stayed on the fourth sister for a few seconds, and suddenly a meaningful smile appeared on the corners of her lips.

Nine's sister sat on this soft couch like a needle, but she didn't expect that she had become the target between the old lady and the second wife, leading their war to herself. Fortunately, the third wife and second aunt helped. But there was a burning anger in her heart, her face was indifferent, and the fists hidden in her sleeves were tightly held. She was not a master who could easily use it.

When the third wife saw that the second wife suffered a secret loss, she also put in the reputation of the two daughters. Although it was only in this courtyard, it was still the laughing stock of the women in the yard for a while, not to mention that such a thing happened to the sixth sister a while ago. She was very happy, but it was a pity that the reputation of the ninth sister was also put into it.

Sister Jiu frowned slightly and was tense all over. At this time, someone came in with a curtain outside. Sister Jiu's eyes followed the curtain and saw a pink jade doll sleepy. Seeing Sister Jiu sitting on the soft couch, she was sleepless and said reproachfully, "Sister Jiu, how can you do it by your grandmother?"

When the old lady saw the tenth brother, she waved to him. The happiness on her face was really from the inside out. "My little ancestor, come to my grandmother."

The tenth brother ate a few dumplings in the morning and couldn't help doze off. He went back to sleep and woke up now. He trotted into the old lady's arms, and the second lady couldn't help laughing and scolding, "The old lady spoils you."

The tenth brother raised his little face, "Isn't this courtyard spoiling me? Mother, look, the new ninth sister spoils me!"

The ninth sister's heart suddenly softened a lot. The tenth brother is really a lovely child.

"Tenth brother is a younger brother, and of course Jiu'er should be spoiled!" The ninth sister smiled.

The tenth brother's eyes lit up, "The ninth sister also knows the story of respecting the old and loving the young? Did your mother tell you recently? Come and listen to it. Is it the same as what she said to the Master?

Sister Jiu opened her mouth and saw the tenth brother's eyes flashing. She looked at the people in the room again, and then said, "Four years old, you can make pears. Rong also said: Trees have highs and lows, people have old and young, respect the old and elders, and the way of being a man!"

The tenth brother seemed to have got a new toy. He took the ninth sister and said, "The ninth sister also knows this. Shall we go to the private school together for class after the Spring Festival?"

The old lady couldn't help laughing and stroked the tenth brother's head lovingly. "You don't feel uncomfortable when you hear this. It's good today, and you also invited the ninth sister to go to school together! Why don't you want to play for a while during the Spring Festival?

The tenth brother was embarrassed, but he said with a bad manner, "As a woman, Sister Jiu knows these principles. As a man, how can I be surpassed by Sister Ninth?"

"Why don't you see that my sixth sister has surpassed you!" The sixth sister was indignant. The ninth sister not only robbed the favor of her elders, but also the tenth brother who usually made friends with her protected her like this. She said coldly, "I'm afraid that the ninth sister hasn't even invited Xixi in Zhejiang. Maybe the Three-character Classic came from somewhere."

The tenth brother was slightly angry, but it was not easy to get the sixth sister's face. A pair of pure black eyes turned straight. Seeing that the elders did not mean to relieve him, he was angry.

The ninth sister smiled at the tenth brother and said, "There are not many people in my family, so I didn't invite Xixi!"

The sixth sister felt a long face, looked proudly at the tenth brother, and disdainfully hit the ninth sister's face. The tenth brother stared at the ninth sister angrily.

The ninth sister is sad. I'm afraid that the tenth brother is just fighting with the sixth sister. I didn't expect that she would not only be pinched by the previous generation, but also the sisters of her peers wanted to bully her for such a short time. But if she simply wants to make the tenth brother happy, I'm afraid she won't even be able to get along with the tenth brother in the future.

"When my mother was alive, I taught Jiu'er some of the Three-character Classic. After my mother's death, Jiu'er has always been in poor health and has not learned anything."

Six sister grinned. Although Sister Jiu's reply made her unhappy, she entered the private school at the age of six, and Sister Jiu was definitely not as good as her. She felt that she was superior to Sister Jiu and sat down happily.

The tenth brother pouted and said regrettedly, "I only learned the Three-character Classic!"

"The ninth sister knows these truths after learning the Three-character Classic. You are good. You make a lot of noise in the yard every day. After the Spring Festival, the ninth sister will definitely compare you when she goes to school." The second wife laughed for a while, but she helped the ninth sister speak.

The ninth sister and a group of women in the room looked at the second wife doubtfully. Only then did the ninth sister make her shameless, but now she is helping the ninth sister again.

Thanks to the tenth brother, the second wife only feels that the tenth brother is too wild. If there is a person who can make the tenth brother focus on his studies, the Xue family will rely on him in the future. No matter how considerate her daughter is, she will eventually get married. In the future, she will have to rely on her tenth brother. In the eyes of the second wife, the ninth sister just played such a role.

The happiest thing is the old lady. She praised without hesitation: "The tenth brother has grown up and is manly. Your ninth sister will definitely go to private school with you after the Spring Festival. Don't be compared and cry at that time.

The tenth brother refused, but his small body nestled in the arms of the old lady and acted coquettishly.

The ninth sister looked at the family happily with a smile, and her eyes were a little wet. She really wanted to be loved as much as the tenth brother. She quickly turned her eyes, but just bumped into the comforting eyes of the third sister. Her face changed slightly, and she picked up a veil to dry the unnoticed tears in her eyes, and her heart was awe-inspiring.

At this time, Mother Ge, who was beside the old lady, quickly walked to the room and blessed the masters before whispering in front of the old lady's ears. The old lady's face suddenly couldn't hang up.

The ninth sister sat next to the old lady and naturally heard it clearly. Mother Ge said, "Mrs. Anguo said that she would send someone to hand over the business card, saying that the second uncle was busy with the imperial examination, and she would not come to Xue's house to pay a New Year call today..."
