He has been working in the yard all year round, but his skin is still fair and translucent, especially his eyes, with the little bits of starlight that cannot be hidden in the phoenix eyes. If you look closely, you can see that even Brother Cheng, who inherited Mei Yuanqing's appearance, is slightly A bit inferior.
After withdrawing her thoughts, Xia Ning walked cautiously to the middle of the room, knelt down respectfully, kowtowed and said, "Madam."
Seeing him bow respectfully, Wei Jingwei laughed a little.
"Get up. I called you here just to see if your body is feeling better."
Xia Ning just raised her head in surprise and felt a little uncomfortable when she heard what Wei Jingwei said.
Could it be that the reason why we came here today to see him was because he was beaten by the young master and we wanted to check on his injuries.
With a young mind, Xia Ning is only about seven years old now, and what is in her heart is quickly revealed on her face.
His lips pursed slightly, looking a little aggrieved.
Wei Jingwei knew that he had misunderstood, so she didn't explain much and continued to ask: "It seems that you are stronger than before. Those servants didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
Xia Ning hurriedly lowered his head, "Thanks to Sister Lian'er for taking care of me, my current situation is much better than before. I don't dare to think about anything else."
She nodded slightly, knowing how to advance and retreat, not greedy, and had a good character.
"I came here just to ask you, do you want to keep playing with flowers and plants in the garden from now on?"
This sudden question made Xia Ning a little confused. He thought that he could work well in the yard of Mei Mansion, grow up healthy and safe, and have enough food and clothing for the rest of his life.
But that day...
Xia Ning thought of the young master in rich clothes. He had such a good mother as his wife, and someone took good care of him and cared about him.
But he didn't cherish these things at all and didn't care about them at all. But Mei Yunli didn't know that all the things he didn't care about were things that Xia Ning would never get in his life.
After he thought clearly, the twinkling light in his eyes gradually became firmer, and he said loudly: "Xia Ning doesn't want to."
"Oh? Then tell me what you want to do in the future." Wei Jingwei supported her chin with her hand and suddenly looked at the young man in front of her with interest.
Xia Ning swallowed, still lowering her eyes and not daring to raise her head.
"The villain wants to study and be sensible, to be a more useful person, and to be able to help more people in need." After a pause, "Madam, do you think the villain is talking nonsense? I am obviously nothing and nothing." No, but that’s what I kept talking about..."
Wei Jingwei interrupted him, "No."
Xia Ning suddenly raised her head and looked at Wei Jingwei nervously, as if expecting what she would say next.
Wei Jingwei suppressed the smile on her face and said seriously: "I don't think you are talking nonsense. You are in such an environment, and you still think in your mind that if you want to be a useful person, you must help others. How can you have such a wish? It can be said to be nonsense."
"Most people in this world think that success means climbing to that high place, or power, or money, or other things. They do these things with all the things in mind for themselves. But you are different. What you do is What you think is to help others... Maybe you will change as you age, but I believe that what you say at this moment comes from the heart. I also hope that you can remember your original intention."
Xia Ning lowered his head and said, "The villain will never forget Madam's teachings."
This was the first time someone told him this...
He didn't expect that the words he once thought would make people laugh would not only not be ridiculed by Madam, but would actually affirm him.
At this moment, Xia Ning's heart felt as if she had eaten honey, filled to the brim.
"From today on, you and Brother Cheng will study together in the study room. I will tell you later. But how far you can go in studying in the future, and whether you have the talent for reading, will all depend on you. It's your own creation, I can't control it. Everything depends on you."
When Xia Ning heard that she could study, she thought she had heard wrong. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Wei Jingwei, who was sitting with a smile on her face. Only when she saw her smile did she realize that she was being abrupt.
He quickly lowered his head.
He kowtowed three times in succession, each one very hard, and three "bang bang bang" sounds were heard on the bluestone floor in the room.
His tone was very exciting, "Thank you Madam for your kindness, Xia Ning is very grateful."
Wei Jingwei motioned to Lian'er to help him up.
Lian'er helped him up, and then she saw that Xia Ning's forehead was a little bruised. It was not difficult to imagine how hard he had kowtowed just now.
Wei Jingwei shook his head, he was honest.
"Take him to get some medicine, and let's start classes together tomorrow. Where is his physical deed, Su'er, go find it."
Lian'er took Xia Ning to apply for medicine. Su'er rummaged through a wooden box for a long time before she found Xia Ning's contract of sale.
After she handed it to Wei Jingwei, she asked in confusion: "Why does the young lady want this Xia Ning's deed of prostitution?"
Wei Jingwei rubbed her fingers over the piece of paper in her hand that represented Xia Ning's fate, and after a while she said, "I'm going to burn it."
Su Er was stunned, "But, aren't you afraid that Xia Ning will be out of control in the future?"
She glanced at Su'er with a smile and praised: "Su'er is really cautious, I'm not as good as you."
"Miss is not as good as a servant. There are too many things that Miss has to do every day. I can only take care of Miss from the side."
Wei Jingwei smiled slightly, picked up the paper and lit it on the candle, her beautiful eyes reflecting the firelight, until the paper was gradually swallowed up by the flames, leaving only a trace of green smoke, then she slowly said: "If he is still As a slave in the Mei Mansion, how do you think Brother Cheng and those people will treat him?"
Su'er frowned, "Brother Cheng is the most domineering. When we see Xia Ning again, he will definitely bully him because of his status as master. And the people in Ci'an Hall, judging from the way they love Brother Cheng, will only defend and never do anything to him." blame."
She nodded, with a smile in her eyes, "That's the reason. That's why I burned Xia Ning's bond of sale. After he is freed from slavery, he will no longer be someone they can chat with at will."
"Young lady is really as considerate as your hair. I, my slave, am willing to accept the defeat. But this Xia Ning is a lucky man. If you have a young lady, give him a chance."
Su'er said with a smile.
"I also really want to give him a chance. Although Lian'er is not as safe as you, she is very good at judging people, and what Xia Ning has done these days makes me feel that it may not be impossible to give him a hand."
Su'er nodded repeatedly.
Privately, she also thinks that Xia Ning is pretty good.
Time flies. In the past few days, Mei Yunli in Wutong Garden and Mei Xiaoqin in Luohua Garden have been living miserable lives.
In Ci'an Hall, Mei Xiaoqin sat on the chair next to Mei's mother and cried with tears: "Mother, my daughter doesn't want to learn the rules anymore. You don't know how grandma treats her daughter these days. My daughter is resting and resting. It’s not good, and I can’t eat well either.”
