The day before the winter solstice, Yan Jingxiang came to find Hanyu.

"Sister Hanyu, look at it! Your ointment is so good. I did what Sister Hanyu said these days, and the calluses on my hands have disappeared."

Yan Jingxiang spread her slender white hands and leaned against Hanyu in a low voice, saying, "Sister Hanyu, isn't this kind of balm made by Madam Hong sold outside?"

Yan Hanyu nodded, "Madam Hong was originally a traditional Chinese medicine doctor in the palace. She served the nobles in the palace. Naturally, she had some things that could be taken advantage of. She had all figured out these prescriptions for nourishing her own beauty."

"In this way, Madam Hong must be very capable. Sister Hanyu really got a treasure." Yan Jingxiang held her cheek, "If this thing is sold, I don't know how much money it will be worth?"

"I think you are very concerned about money, why not follow your second uncle to learn from the butler?"

"I don't want to follow my mother. In her eyes, I am the stupidest. If I can't do this well, I can't do that. If I follow her, I will definitely be tortured to death by her."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yan Hanyu rebuked lightly, "Don't put that word on your lips! You are mother and daughter, and you have no mother and daughter's hatred for a lifetime."

Just like her resentment towards her mother in the last life, she seemed to have a lifelong grudge, and at the same time she regretted her whole life.

"My mother is so partial! How could she treat her two younger brothers like me? She has never scolded her two younger brothers? Even if I speak louder, she will scold her." Yan Jingxiang said this and complained, "Jinxuan is so smart, climbing trees and walls, and making stumbling wildly, but my mother never scolded him loudly. Even when I was in charge of Jinxuan, my mother would only say that I was not. She clearly only likes her younger brother and doesn't like me."

"Shizuka, don't think too much."

Shizuka said indifferently, "I don't want to, I don't care anymore, I still want to do what I do!"

Yan Hanyu looked at Shizuka, her eyes were full of desire, and her indifferent words were just a resentment in her heart. Shizuka clearly hoped that her second aunt could be a kind mother to her and Yan Se. But in recent years, the second aunt has become more and more competitive, and she just wanted to make Shizuka quietly become a famous lady, not so reckless and not so naive.

The knot between them and their daughter has long been formed in circles and cannot be untied and cannot be dissipated.

As lively as Shizuka, it is because of the love given to her by Mrs. Lu.

The domineering family is like the Lu family because of their success in the Yan family over the years.

"Sister Hanyu, I won't talk about my mother anymore. You don't know, Aunt Qiu's fox charming boy, and I don't know what magic he used to make my father go to her yard all day and ignore us."

A fox?

"Fox Meizi! Who can I learn from?"

Yan Jingxiang stuck out her tongue, "I heard what my mother said secretly."

"Don't say this in front of your mother, be careful that your mother will scold you again."

"I said in front of Sister Hanyu that even if I talk to my mother, it's nothing, I'm just scolding me. But this fox is really appropriate. I read the book and said that foxes are the most cunning and good at pretending to be pitiful and sympathetic. Just look at Aunt Qiu's appearance, my mother blames Aunt Qiu. Aunt Qiu just needs to act like a kneeling and obedient. My father didn't talk to Aunt Qiu? They have also quarreled for Aunt Qiu. My father also said that Aunt Qiu came from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and my mother can't bully people too much. In short, since Aunt Qiu came to our house, my father didn't talk to me. In the past, my father would ask Rongxuan's homework and often go to see Jinxuan. Now he is fine. The woman is pregnant and wants to give her up, so she almost treats her as her wife."

"Does Aunt Qiu behave inappropriately?"

"This... I didn't see it. I just felt that I didn't like her. Sometimes I was holding a stubborn woman in a prominent family! I played the piano, wrote, and hung the paintings I made in my father's study. I really thought I was a talented woman with both talent and beauty! I didn't think I was three points better than our sister Hanyu!"

Yan Hanyu only heard that Aunt Qiu’s relationship with the Lu family was a distant cousin, but she didn’t know much about it. She knew how to play music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so she should be well-educated.

"Do you know what Aunt Qiu has to do with the Lu family?"

"I know, it seems to be the daughter of a concubine, Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu has a little sister who used to elope with his family's servants. In order to cover up the ugliness, the Lu family said that the sister was dead and did not even get back. Later, they wandered outside and gave birth to a daughter. But Mr. Lu Xiang was a young lady after all, and she couldn't live a hard life outside, and her health became worse and worse. Before her death, she sent Aunt Qiu to Bianjing and begged Mr. Lu to take care of her. Qiu Niang said that the cousin from the Lu family was actually covering up her identity."

Yan Hanyu was shocked, "This is the real thing? If it is true, it should be a secret thing, right? How could you know?" Who would be willing to let this matter be revealed to outsiders for the elopement?

"Hehe, I heard what I heard from my mother's words. My mother asked me to check it. After all, the Lu family couldn't explain clearly when they said it. They didn't tell which cousin Aunt Qiu was. My mother was confused, so she sent someone to investigate it secretly. It took a year to find out the matter."

Yan Hanyu was still thinking about this, and then heard Yan Jingxiang say, "Sister, there is another thing I almost forgot to say. My mother is preparing the gift, and Uncle Ninth Clan will be ready to get married after the New Year. My mother said that she would take us to the third uncle and grandfather's house to congratulate him."

Uncle Ninth Counselor got married?

"Who was married?"

After being back for so long, she had too many things to do, and she actually forgot about Uncle Jiu.

"The wife of the Guo family."

After a while, he married the wife of the Guo family.

Yan Hanyu asked someone to inquire about Dr. Mu in Xinglin Medical Center as soon as possible.

When I was in Jinling, I heard something about Guo Qing. I only heard that Dr. Mu was going to be killed by Qiu Hou. Now this life has passed long ago. I don’t know whether Dr. Mu is alive or dead, and there is agarwood, nor where is he.

With the same fate, Yan Hanyu suddenly felt a little afraid when she suggested that her grandfather serve as the Minister of War. She suggested that she was right or wrong in her suggestion?

After much thought, she still felt that she was right. What ending would be even more tragic than the destruction of her family?

Uncle Jiu’s fate does not represent their fate.

Winter has passed, and it is the winter solstice.

On November winter solstice, Bianjing City attaches great importance to this solar term. Even the poorest families have to use all their savings in the family during the year. Even if they borrow money, they must change their clothes, buy food, and worship their ancestors on this day.

The day of the winter solstice is called "Asian Sui", "Asian Sui welcomes good fortune, walks long and celebrates the longevity, and every household warmly celebrates it, just like the New Year.
