Chapter 1

In the early spring, the wind was blowing and it was still cold. Some pretty maids had put on their new spring clothes. When the spring breeze blew, they shivered and hid under the porch of the house. The Camellia in the yard opened a few clumps, the wind wrapped in a light fragrance, blowing to the carved wooden window, but was closed by the door and window outside.

Inside, the incense burner spits out wisps of seemingly indistinct light smoke, curling around the room, doors and windows are closed, the whole room is a light fragrance.

When Ning warm wakes up, the smell of fragrance leaps into the nose, and immediately makes her frown slightly.

"Sweet peach."

Ning Nuan sat up from the couch, and the book in her hand fell to the ground with her movements before she fell asleep. Ning warm bent down to pick up the book and put it on the side of the small table.

The peach waiting outside heard the sound, and quickly put down his work.

"Miss, you are awake." Peach opened the door curtain, outside with a bit of cold air also drilled in, diluted the room's fragrance. "Miss, you've been sleeping for several hours, and you've missed your lunch. Would you like me to go to the kitchen and make you some food?"

"Bring me some cakes."

"I'll take it now."

"Wait a minute." Rather warm and called her: "is the fragrance in the room changed?"

Speaking of this, Xiangtao's face also showed a bit of anger: "this morning, the maid saw that the incense cake was used up, so she wanted to go to the warehouse to get some. Unexpectedly, the maid next to the second Miss went first and took away all the incense commonly used by the young lady. This is the only one left."

Rather warm slightly frown.

"The maid was so angry that she wanted to go to the eldest lady and help her out, but she said He said that the young lady asked for some of the second young lady and asked the maid to come back with this box of incense cakes. " Xiangtao said with some displeasure: "from my servant's point of view, the second young lady is clearly intentional, and the first lady is really. Clearly, you are her daughter. Why does the first lady always stand over the second and third girls?"

Rather warm light ground a, interrupted her words.

"Take this cake away. You don't have to put it in my room."

"And you, miss?" Xiangtao asked in a hurry: "the second miss has taken away all the incense you often use. Now there is nothing good in the warehouse."

"No more."

Xiangtao is more urgent and wants to say something, but is interrupted by Ning Nuan's wave.

"I'm so hungry. Bring me something to eat."

Xiangtao stamped her foot, but she was still afraid of starving her, so she went to take food for her. Before she went out, she quickly came back and took the Lotus Flower Silver fumigation stove out. As soon as the door opened and closed, the fragrance of the house was blown away.

Ning warm lies back on the soft collapse.

She turned her head and looked at the book on the small table. She remembered that she had just read it half way, but she couldn't lift her interest to continue reading.

After a short time, peach came back with some cakes.

"The maid has already made the kitchen work. Miss, you can fill your stomach with cakes." When she went out and came back, Xiangtao was happy again: "when I was just going out, I heard that the lady of the cloth shop was coming. Miss, when you have finished eating, go and pick out. Now that spring has just begun, you can still make some new clothes."

Rather warm than salty to answer.

Sure enough, not long after, someone brought the cloth. Of course, the second and third ladies picked the rest. The beautiful cloth was picked away by the two men. After passing by, I don't know how many hands they had to pick and choose. When they were sent to the Ning'an hospital, only the old-fashioned materials were left, which even the old women were indifferent to.

This just happy not long ago, fragrant peach puffed her cheek again.

She turned over the cloth and murmured something in a low voice, but she didn't break out as usual.

Without him, this situation has been the norm in Ningfu.

The old lady gave birth to three sons, but she only doted on the second and the third. The eldest son is a famous filial son. Unfortunately, this filial piety is stupid and filial, and his ears are soft. The old lady and her two younger brothers coax each other, and they are so happy that they can't find the north and send out all the good things.

Since the big house moved out of the main courtyard, life has gone from bad to worse. However, everything is sent to the big room only after the second room and the third room have been selected. The other two girls also see that Ning Nuan is not comfortable with her, and loves to rob things from her hand. However, Ning Fu is still very happy when he sees that the life is getting worse and worse. He only says that he wants to be friendly with his brothers. Even if Ning Nuan puts forward his opinions, he still gets hurt On the contrary, she advised her to let her younger sister as her elder sister. When it comes to the depth, she also takes herself as an example to let Ning Nuan learn from him.

Other people have already lost their temper when they see the family being pushed into the side yard. However, Ning's mother is also a soft tempered person. People in the second room and the third room are used to pretending to be good people in front of the old lady. Behind their backs, they don't know how many times they laugh at their good-natured sister-in-law. They even take over the right of housekeeper. She always had no idea. Her husband would listen to what he said. Ning father said that she should be more tolerant and tolerant, so she had to bear it all the time.

Bear, let, then to the present stage of the field, even a common incense cake to be snatched, the new cloth in other hands to transfer a circle, pick the rest will be sent to her hand.Rather warm cakes have not finished, the wind and fire outside the door rushed into a person, wrapped in the cold spring, a gust of wind like ground rushed to her.

"Ah Nuan, come and see."

Ning Lang put the bird cage in front of her. The claws of myna tightly grasp the standing bar, and the round eyes turn uneasily, looking around with vigilance.

"I saw this bird in the street. It's so smart that it can learn how to speak. I'll teach it, and it'll learn it immediately." Ning Lang reached into the birdcage with a wooden stick and poked it: "come on, Xiao Ba, learn from me to call ah Nuan. Ah Nuan is my sister. If you recognize her, she will also be your master."

The octopus in the cage fluttered his wings and jumped, avoiding the stick. He looked up at Ning Nuan for a long time, and pointed out: "ah'an-nuan -" he was really smart.

Ning Lang is more proud: "how, this is what I spent ten Liang silver to buy, worth it?"

"Ten liang?" Rather warm frown: "this is just the beginning of the month, you have already spent the month?"

Ning Lang's face was stiff.

He quickly changed the topic, pointed to the newly delivered cloth and said, "ah Nuan, you are still young. How can you use such old-fashioned cloth? I think you usually like to stay in the house all day long, how can you even dress like an old lady

Xiangtao interposes: "this is the other young lady that pick left to send."

Ning langhun didn't care about the way: "I'll go to the cloth shop tomorrow to pick out for you. I'm sure to buy the latest and best looking cloth and come back to make clothes for you."

Myna opened his mouth and said, "a'nuan-a'nuan -"

Ning Nuan said, "do you have any money in your pocket?"

Ning Lang:

"I saw this myna in the street. It's really interesting to see it. I like it very much. I think you are bored at home, so Just... " Ning Lang stopped, suddenly thought of what, and quickly took out a box of rouge from his arms, "ah Nuan, you see, what did your brother bring back to you?"

He courteously handed the box of rouge to Ning Nuan. Ning Nuan looked down and saw the name of the shop with hairpin flowers carved on the box, which is the most famous Rouge shop in Beijing.

She raised her eyes again and looked at her brother's pathetic appeasement on his face, but she was not soft hearted. She continued to ask, "did you not go to school today?"

"This, this The master is busy today, so he has no class. " Ning Lang's eyes wandered and he felt guilty.

Ning Nuan raised his hand to take over the box of rouge, but he was very upset in his heart. He was afraid that his sister would say anything more, so he ran away with an excuse.

Needless to say, it must be truancy again.

Although Ning father's affairs in the back house are not clear, his knowledge is excellent, and his official position is the highest in his family. Ning Lang is the eldest son of the big house. He is also very interested in his son's knowledge. However, Ning Lang is not striving for success. He idles around all day, fighting with chickens and running dogs. His homework is at the bottom of the whole school. When he seizes the opportunity, he thinks about skipping classes. He is not interested in family affairs. He is good at playing.

Ning Lang knows the situation of Dafang, but he doesn't care about it. He always treats his younger brothers and sisters very well. Listening to Ning Fu's saying that he should be more tolerant and more tolerant. He also thinks that he is the eldest brother and does not like to fight with his younger brother and sister. As long as there is no lack of money in his pocket, he doesn't feel that there is anything. After spending the month, Ning's mother loves her son and will naturally take out money from her private house to subsidize him. Ning Lang ignores the housework, regardless of the back house, and plays outside with those friends all day. He is the most leisurely person in the family.

Ning Nuan held the box of rouge and sighed deeply.

"Peach, help me put this box of rouge on the dresser." Ning Nuan said, "then take these cloths and follow me to the old lady."

Xiangtao opened her eyes and looked at her in surprise: "Miss, you are..."

Rather warm slowly wipe hands clean: "this just subsided for a few days, really think big room good bully very, Niang said to be tolerant, but I don't obey."

Xiangtao was overjoyed and rushed to take the cloth out.

Before they stepped out of the house, they heard the cry of panic from the maid outside.

"Madame! Slow down, ma'am

Then, Ning mother's voice came over anxiously: "ah Nuan? Where is ahun? "

Rather warm heart a surprised, hurriedly went out.

In the yard, Ning's mother was supported by a little maid. Her face was dismal and her eyes were full of tears. When she saw Ning Nuan come out, she was stunned and looked as if she had been through several years. Then her eyes burst out with infinite joy. She opened her arms and held Ning Nuan tightly in her arms.

Rather warm muddled.

Subconsciously, she hugged Ning mother and looked at her servant girl.

The servant girl said in a low voice: "the eldest lady had a sleep after lunch. After waking up, she did not know how. Her tears flowed continuously. The maid advised her for a long time, but it didn't work. Later, she thought of the young lady, so she came to look for her in a hurry."

Here, Ning's mother still held her in her arms and sobbed: "ah Nuan, my mother's good ah Nuan, I'm sorry for you, but I'm sorry for you..."
