The next day.
The spring sun is shining, the sky is clear, and the peonies in Nanfu Garden are in full bloom.
There is an octagonal red lacquered pavilion in the garden, carved and painted, with fine and delicate bamboo curtains hanging from the octagonal corners. The spring breeze blows the curtains, faintly revealing the little beauty in the pavilion.
Nan Baoyi was sitting in front of the stone table, writing the post carefully.
Xiao Yi said her handwriting was too ugly, so he gave her some copybooks and told her to practice twenty large characters today.
After writing a few words, she put down the brush and stretched softly.
He Ye came in with tea snacks and said with a smile: "Miss, you have worked hard to practice calligraphy. My servant has brought you snacks. It is made from the aftertaste of the Second Master's side. I tasted a piece of it. It tastes better than the old lady's yard." The chef¡¯s job is even better!¡±
Nan Baoyi rested his eyebrows with one hand and lazily played with a newly picked peony, "Lotus leaf, your lady, I am now a studious and motivated person. Don't worry, just send me food if you have nothing to do. It's too late." How will my second brother explain my homework?"
He Ye secretly glanced at her homework.
Well, her young lady has been sitting in the pavilion all morning. She calls it hard to practice calligraphy, but so far she has only practiced one big calligraphy, and she has been in a daze the rest of the time.
She put down the tea and said kindly: "Miss, our Nan family is really not suitable for studying and practicing calligraphy. Look at the Fourth Young Master, he is determined to take the imperial examination, but I heard that he can't even memorize the Analects of Confucius so far. , you are laughed at in the academy every day. Why don't you stop forcing yourself?"
Nan Baoyi held her face in her hands and stared at the blank rice paper in a daze.
"There is probably something wrong with the feng shui of the Nan family. They have been making money for hundreds of years, but none of the family members can take the exam
Seeing that his lady was silent, Heye retreated with the red paint tray in his arms.
As soon as she opened the bamboo curtain, she said: "Miss, isn't that the third master?"
"My dad?"
Nan Baoyi stood up and walked over.
She hid behind the bamboo curtain and saw her father walking through the flower path carrying Shijinji's candy box.
Shijinji's peach blossom candy box is very famous in Sichuan. It is carved from rosewood. Press the round lid in the middle to rotate out a box drawer in the shape of five peach blossom petals. The box drawer contains five flavors of candy balls. Exquisite and clear, very popular with children.
She liked the peach blossom candy box the most when she was a child. She mentioned it to her father yesterday, but she didn¡¯t expect him to take it to heart, so he went to buy her candy
Nan Baoyi felt warm in her heart and was about to run out when she saw a white figure blocking her father.
Nan Yan bowed to Nan Guang and saluted like a weak willow, "Greetings to daddy. Where are daddy going?"
¡°Oh, I¡¯m going to Chaowen Courtyard to see your sister.¡±
Nan Yan pinched the handkerchief, feeling very uncomfortable.
Last night, she waited in the house for a long time. Not only could she not get the good news about the dowry, but her father was also missing.
She went to pay her respects to her father this morning, but the servant said that he left the house early in the morning.
Her eyes fell on the candy box, "This candy box"
Nanguang said "Ah" and felt a little embarrassed. He quickly hid the candy box behind his back and said hesitantly: "This candy, this candy"
"You bought it for your sister, right?" Nan Yan said lonely, "I know you love her, so you should. You should buy candies to coax her."
As he said this, his eye circles suddenly turned red.
Nan Guang panicked, "Yan'er misunderstood. I didn't buy this candy for your sister. This candy is for you! Take it quickly, don't cry, it's so distressing!"
Nan Yan hugged the candy box he had stuffed in her and felt very aggrieved: "Grandma loves my sister so much. I went to say hello this morning, but I couldn't even enter her yardDad, my sister is loved by many people, but I only have you" "
She cried and threw herself into Nan Guang's arms.
Nan Guang¡¯s heart is about to melt!
He couldn't help but patted her back with pity, "It's so pitiful. I'll talk to your grandmother tomorrow to talk things over. We are all daughters of our father, how can we treat one favorably over another?"
Nan Yan wiped her tears and carefully held the corner of his sleeve, "Dad, can I have lunch with you? The dishes sent from the kitchen are all soup and waterless. My daughter is almost unable to survive these days ¡¡±
¡°Let¡¯s go, I¡¯ll take you to a restaurant outside!¡±
"Can you bring my mother with you? Our family hasn't had dinner together for several days."
"Okay, okay!"
The father and daughter left the garden talking and laughing.
Octagonal pavilion.
Nan Baoyi leaned on the red paint pillar, her fair and delicate little face full of sadness.
She was picking at the red paint unconsciously with her nails. Her father and Mrs. Liu were a family, so who was she?
His ears were so soft that after Nan Yan cried a few words, he gave her the candy box to Nan Yan
It has been like this for these years. He lives outside every day and is happy and happy. During the holidays, when he has reunion dinner with Mr. Liu and the others, he probably never imagines that there is a little daughter in the house, and she is looking forward to him coming back to the house to see her
The onion-like fingernails were scratched off, and blood seeped out from the fingertips. She hurriedly retracted her hand in pain.
Her tender face wrinkled into a ball, and she walked out of the pavilion listlessly.
He Ye was tangled, "Miss, do you still want to practice this word?"
"You can help me practice. Remember to write twenty large characters and give them to the second brother for review. Heye, I asked you to practice calligraphy for your own good."
Lotus Ye¡¯s face was immediately speechless.
She offends everyone, and she doesn¡¯t like reading or writing either!
Asking her to practice twenty big characters would be better than asking her to chop firewood in the backyard!
On the rockery on the shady side of the pavilion, Xiao Yi sat casually, holding a cup of hot wolfberry tea in his hand.
He watched Nan Baoyi go away with an expressionless expression.
The little girl¡¯s bright yellow skirt was lifted by the spring breeze, and the color was more beautiful than the peonies on both sides of the road.
When walking, her thin shoulders trembled slightly, maybe she was crying secretly.
Shiku emerged from the rockery cave and whispered: "Master, there is none in the garden. Over the years, we have searched every pavilion and pavilion in the Nan family, even the bushes and rockery, and we just barely dug out the floor tiles." I got up and searched, but there were no clues I suspected that the thing was not at Nan's house at all."
Xiao Yi gently tapped the edge of the tea cup with his knuckles, and the crisp sound was like striking gold or jade.
"Master?"
¡°There is still a place I haven¡¯t searched.¡±
"Master, please make it clear!"
"Ancestral Hall."
Shiku was stunned for a moment, "Isn't this bad? After all, this is the resting place of our ancestors. If we rush in and disturb the gods"
Xiao Yi glanced at him coldly.
Shiku shuddered and hurriedly bowed his head in agreement.
He was about to go to do it when Xiao Yi knocked on the tea cup and said: "I will stay at Nan's house for another two years, so this matter is not urgent. You first go to Shijinji to buy a candy box."
