Mother nodded,"Delicious!" Our Ji 'er's cooking is the best, even those maids can't compare!”I clapped my hands happily." I asked Ye Zi to leave a portion for Father, and one for YiNiang and my sister."”
"This child…you're always so attentive to your aunt.”Mother put down the snack in her hand and looked at me.
I smiled." After all, she's the aunt of my Xia family. We can't let the servants look down on her. If word gets out, the Liu family will think that we're bullying her."”
"Ah…right, Ji 'er, when your brother comes back tonight, leave some for him too. Let him taste our Ji' er's cooking!”Mother smiled and tapped my nose.
"I'll go to the kitchen now!"”
Her brother had gone overseas to study and had been away from home for ten years. Now, he was back.
"Miss, this light yellow one is good. Young Master will be happy to see it.”Ye 'zi held the clothes in front of me and compared them.
I was also very excited. When brother came back, father and mother would definitely be busy with brother's marriage. I heard that when he was young, he had already arranged a betrothal with father's friend's daughter. This time, he came back to get married. "It's all good, it's all good."
"Young Miss, Young Master is back. Old Master is calling you to the hall.”Xiangxia came in from outside.
"I know. Ye, let's go." I quickly changed my clothes and rushed out.
The hall was extremely lively. Father and mother were in high spirits. Brother was sitting on a chair, and the servant behind him was smiling.
"Father, Mother ~" I ran into the hall and threw myself into Mother's arms. "You're still so naughty."”
I turned around and saw a handsome man dressed in a scholar's robe. He was smiling at me."This is Ji 'er, right?" I also stood there and looked at him blankly. Mother immediately said,"Ji 'er, this is Zhe' er. Quickly greet elder brother."”I bowed to my brother.”The elder brother smiled, revealing a row of teeth."Come quickly, let big brother take a look. When big brother left, you were still a little girl. Now that you're older, big brother can't even carry you.”I blushed and walked up to my brother. Brother took out a brocade box from his pocket and gave it to me."I saw it outside. I thought you would like it, so I bought it for you.”I opened it and saw a beautiful hairpin with a beautiful butterfly carved on it. The flowing silver light was very beautiful. "Thank you, big brother. I like it very much. I also made some snacks. I'll bring them to Older Brother later.”
My brother patted my head and let me sit beside him. Then, he began to tell my parents about my experience of leaving home all these years. After talking for nearly two hours, his father finally spoke,"Zhe 'er, quickly go and rest. I've already asked people to clean up your room. Tomorrow, I will come back to test your knowledge.”Then, the elder brother stood up and bowed before leaving the hall.
"Father, Mother, I'm going down too!"”He turned around and left the hall. He faintly heard his mother say,"This girl, I haven't seen her for more than ten years. She's really close to my brother. They're siblings after all."”
I called Yezi to bring the snacks I made in the afternoon to my brother's room. His servant was standing at the door. I walked over.”"Young Master, you're still awake. I'll go and report to you."”
In a while, big brother will personally come out from the room and lead me in to sit down. I took out some pastries for him." Brother, try it. I guess you haven't eaten yet. Dad has been nagging me for the past few years. Every time I walk beside him, he will say something about me learning the piano or studying. It's so annoying.”
"Isn't that because daddy loves you?" "How could anyone else say that? They wouldn't even have time to hide." Then, he picked up one and stuffed it into his mouth."Mmm, it's delicious. As expected of Ji 'er."”
"Brother, is it fun outside?" Seeing that my brother was eating happily, I tried to ask about the situation outside.
"It's alright. It's not as lively as the capital.”Brother smiled at me.
I was interested and quickly shook his arm."Brother, tell me quickly. What fun things did you see along the way? I'm suffocating at home. Other than going to the temple to offer incense, Mother doesn't let me go out at all.”
My brother smiled gently and looked out the window. He began to tell me about the busy streets, the lively market, and the endless hawking sounds.
I was intoxicated by what I heard and wanted to find a way to get out.
"You don't want me to take you out, do you?" I can't take you away if Daddy doesn't allow it. If something happens, I can't guarantee it!”
I was afraid that he would see through my thoughts, so I quickly got up."I came to bring you some snacks. Now that you've eaten, it's getting late. I'll go back.”My brother sent me out and then instructed his servant,"When it's time to read, send Miss off."
The moon was shining brightly on the ground tonight. When I asked Shu,"Does brother always sleep so late?"”
"Young Master studies hard. He only sleeps at midnight and wakes up at dawn."”I sighed. This was as good as when I was studying.
"Then what do you like to eat? I can cook for him in the future."
"Young Master likes to eat light food and rarely eats greasy food.”I rolled my eyes. Did every man in ancient times have such an appetite?
"Alright, I'll remember that. "Ye, we're here. Go get some flower tea and ask Shushi to bring it back for Young Master." I turned my head to read."I don't have anything good either. I just eat a lot. Wait for me. I'll ask Ye to bring you some snacks. If you have nothing to do, eat some. If it's not enough, tell Ye."”
She smiled shyly. Ye Zi quickly took the flower tea and the osmanthus rice cake that I usually put in the room and gave it to Shu.
"What's wrong?" I teased Ye. Did you read a book? Why aren't you so efficient when you're bringing me things?”
"The family has been busy with this brother's marriage these few days.”I smiled at my brother and said to YiNiang.
The elder brother blushed.
"She's grown up," laughed YiNiang."She'll get married when it's time." Why was she blushing? Which family's girl is she from?"
"It's Sister Xiang Xiang!" I teased. Brother has been coveting her for many years. Before Brother came back, I heard Sister Xiangxiang say it many times. Brother confessed to Sister Xiangxiang when he was young!”
"You only know how to tease your brother. These two are indeed a couple. What a match. One was elegant and refined, while the other was beautiful and passionate.”YiNiang liked that Sister Xiangxiang very much.
Ye Zi poured tea for me and said,"After Young Master got married, there was someone who played with me. The servant girl beside Miss Xiangxiang has a good relationship with me."”
The young master laughed.”
I glanced at Ye Zi ambiguously.""Oh? Is this the only benefit?"
Ye Zi was embarrassed and lowered her blushing face.
This was Shushi, who ran in hurriedly from outside."Not good! Not good!"
"What's wrong? Speak slowly."”
"Master…Master, he…"
When I heard that it was my father, I quickly asked,"What happened to my father?"”
"Master has been impeached by Lord Liu! The emperor was furious! The men of the entire family were banished to the army and the women were enslaved!”This sentence was like a thunderbolt. All of us were suppressed on the spot. The teacup in my hand slipped to the ground, and the sound of it shattering woke us up. My brother and I looked at each other and jumped up to run to find my father.
When they reached the hall, they saw the soldiers pushing the servants out.
His father was tied up and kneeling on the ground.
"Father!" My brother and I shouted and rushed over. However, before I could reach him, I was pressed down by a fierce soldier. He pressed down on my shoulder tightly."Don't move!"
Tears streamed down my face."Father…"
When Father saw the two of us, tears flowed down his young face." Zhe 'er, Ji' er…I…I…"
"Cut the crap. At this point, what's the point of making a fuss?”The soldier gave me a slap, and my head buzzed.
"Don't touch my sister! Don't touch my sister!" Her brother was also forced to kneel down. My heart ached. Now, someone's heart aches for me.
"Brother, I'm fine. I'm fine." I cried as I looked at my brother, hoping that he wouldn't worry.
"Let's go, take her away!" A leader walked over. Take Father away. Father said loudly,"Zhe 'er, Ji' er, I've let you down!"”
"Father! Father!" I cried and cried from behind, but I couldn't stop them from taking Father away.
A soldier came up to me and said,"What are you crying for? You have to leave too!"”
I turned my head and saw Ye Zi, Ying 'er, and Feng Jiaoniang being pressed down on me. A sense of powerlessness spread through my body. In this era, where could I fight against the Emperor? We were just ants in front of him.
Lord Liu…I turned around and glared at Feng Jiaoniang angrily. When she saw my gaze, she avoided me in surprise and did not dare to look straight at me. I sneered,"I'm so good to you, yet you still want to do this…"
Feng Jiaoniang's tears fell." Ji 'er, it's not me. It's not me. It really isn't me!"”
I turned my face away from her.
"Miss, you have to believe me. It really wasn't me! Your father doesn't treat me well, but you treat me so well that I can't thank you enough. How can I go back and harm your family?”Feng Jiaoniang twisted her body with all her might, wanting to rush over to explain to me.
At this moment, the soldiers came over with Wan 'er. Wan' er looked at me and sneered,"It's me. Don't blame it on my mother."
I looked at Wan 'er in shock.
"Xia Tian, you didn't expect this. I did all of this. It's because I'm not even as good as a servant girl by your side in your house!”Wan-Er shouted at me,"Summer!" You have thousands of dotes on you, and no one doesn't love you! Even Father doesn't care about us daughters. All the good things are yours! I want to take everything from you and let you have a taste of having nothing and being worse than pigs and dogs!”
