When night falls, there is a quiet and peaceful scene in Yanyang City. The streets are empty and quiet. The leaves are swaying in the breeze. A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, so I can't light a candle. The lamp added light to the poor people.
The Sun Mansion, located in the east of the city, was also quiet at the moment. There was no one holding hands outside the door. Everything seemed to be very quiet without Sun Junze in the mansion.
At this time, Master Sun of the Sun Mansion was locked in the study alone, standing in front of the window, looking up at the stars in the sky, without saying a word for a long time.
In the main hall, under the shadow of the beating wick of the kerosene lamp, the voices of several people could be heard.
"Madam, when will brother Junze come back?" Sun Yijin said with a childish look.
After hearing this, Mrs. He looked at Sun Yijin with a smile on her face and said with a smile: "Good boy, it's late March today. After March, there's still one month left before I'll be back."
"Will it take that long?" Sun Yijin couldn't wait any longer.
After hearing this, the second brother Sun Luolin said nothing and smiled slightly.
"Why is Yijin so looking forward to the return of her eldest brother?" He asked gently.
After hearing this, Sun Yijin looked at her second brother with a cute face, as if seeking his opinion. However, the second brother, Sun Luolin, remained silent for a moment and looked at his sister with a smile on his face.
Anyway, it’s not a big deal. My sister Sun Yijin finally said it out: “Big brother said that when he comes back, he will bring me some things that are not available over there, and he will also tell me about what it’s like over there.” While talking, he was still fantasizing. The scene where the big brother comes back.
As a biological mother, Ma felt ashamed after hearing this. She really hoped that her children could see the outside scenery, but the fact was the opposite.
"That's it. By the way, Yijin. Don't you like embroidery? Come and learn from me tomorrow. When you finish, your elder brother will be back. As for you, you can show him your embroidery. , okay?" Mrs. He said kindly.
After hearing this, Sun Yijin glanced at his biological mother, Mrs. Ma, and then looked at his wife, Mrs. He, and nodded: "Yes, okay. I will show it to my eldest brother when he comes back."
Unexpectedly, Sun Yijin's words were heard by Mr. Sun in the study.
The next day, at dawn, the fourteen-year-old Sun Yijin had already prepared the cloth, needles, threads and other tools for embroidery and happily went to see her eldest lady.
"The queen! The queen!"
Yijin was waiting outside Madam He's bedroom with various embroidery tools.
At this time, a maid dressed in light yellow came over, looked at Yijin's appearance, and persuaded her: "Miss, the eldest lady is still resting, please wait a moment."
After hearing this, the sensible Yijin glanced at the room, pouted, and said helplessly: "Okay."
Then, Yijin took her needle and thread and sat up on a stone under a nearby tree, looking towards the room with a pair of big watery eyes.
Finally, after waiting for a long time, she saw a maid carrying a wooden basin hurriedly towards the room. Yijin guessed that the eldest lady must have gotten up. After a while, she saw the eldest lady walking out of the room.
After Yijin saw it, she hurriedly walked over with needle and thread.
"Madam, when will you teach Jin'er how to embroider?" Yijin asked.
Yijin's words seemed to melt the eldest lady's heart.
The eldest lady He smiled kindly, touched Yijin's head involuntarily, and said, "Here you go."
"Okay." Yijin responded happily.
Afterwards, the two taught Sun Yijin how to embroider under a pavilion in the backyard. . .
"Liu Xueshi, these have been written by the lower officials." Sun Zhicai handed a written document to Liu Xueshi.
"Okay." Xueshie Liu took the document.
At this time, Su Yunqi quietly asked: "I heard that the fourth young master in Liu Xueshi's family is not married yet?"
Scholar Liu was very generous and answered these questions naturally: "Yes. The four sons in the family are withdrawn and unwilling to talk to others. They are often obsessed with reading."
"There is a daughter in Xiuguan's family who is just fourteen years old. I wonder what Liu Xueshi wants?" Sun Zhicai asked with a smile on his face.
After hearing this, Master Liu smiled and said, "That's good. I'll ask the fourth son when I get back."
"That's fine, I'll ask you when I get back. If it works out, I'll be willing to help Xuexi Liu more."
"good."
After the business was over, Sun Zhicai from the Sun Mansion hurried back home.
Especially every time he walked through that street, the people around him would always look at Sun Zhicai with strange eyes and whisper about the bad things the Sun family had done.
Therefore, Sun Zhicai could only walk quickly every time he walked through this street.
"Jin'er!"
As soon as he arrived home, Sun Zhicai quickly looked for Sun Yijin.
"Jin'er!"
After several calls, Yijin was not seen coming, only Yijin's biological mother was seen walking towards this side.
"Master is back." Second Lady Ma said with a smile on her face.
"Where's Jin'er?" Sun Zhicai asked.
"Jin'er has been learning embroidery in the backyard today. Not to mention, she learned it very quickly."
Before the second lady Ma finished speaking, Sun Zhicai had already gone to the backyard.
"Look, look at it again."
"like this."
Madam He is teaching Sun Yijin carefully, and Sun Yijin is also studying seriously.
Seeing this appearance, Sun Zhicai was a little reluctant to disrupt this scene.
After waiting for a long time, Mrs. He finally noticed the master.
"Master is back," He said with a smile.
After Sun Zhicai nodded slightly, he looked at Sun Yijin: "Yijin, how did you learn?"
After hearing this, Yijin hurriedly showed the half-embroidered magpie to her father Sun Zhicai.
"The embroidery is really good." Sun Zhicai praised.
After hearing this, Mrs. He praised Yijin's various good deeds.
"Jin'er, dad has something to ask, can you agree to it?" Sun Zhicai said.
At this time, He and Yijin looked at Sun Zhicai together.
"What's the matter? Dad." Yijin asked in confusion.
"You are fourteen now, and you have reached the age to get married. I talked about this with my colleagues today. If you agree, and they agree, we will wait to set a date." Sun Zhicai said.
After hearing what her father said, Yijin didn't know whether to agree or not, and looked at the main wife He.
"Sir, although Yijin is fourteen, she is still far from sixteen. Isn't this a bit too hasty?" He said.
Coincidentally, the conversation between the master and Mr. He was heard by Mr. Ma who was walking over, and his eyes almost turned red.
"Jin'er, if you are willing, dad will have help in official matters, so that you can successfully avenge your sister in the future." Sun Zhicai asked for advice.
After thinking about it, Jin'er looked at Mrs. Zheng and the biological mother Ma who was walking over, wanting to know their opinions, but they seemed to be waiting for her answer.
Thinking that she could avenge her dead sister, Yijin finally agreed to the matter: "I am willing."
After hearing this, Sun Zhicai touched Jin'er's face, and his eyes gradually turned red. If not, it might be difficult to avenge his eldest daughter who died unjustly.
While touching it, Sun Zhicai muttered distressedly: "Daddy's good daughter."
Not far behind, the biological mother Ma Shi had quietly shed tears.
The next day, Sun Zhicai informed Liu Xueshi about his daughter, and the two families reached an agreement and decided to get married on May 15th.
