Chapter 248
Seeing the slingshot thrown into the well, Nian Yaoyue felt pain for no reason.

She took that slingshot by her side almost every day to play with it for a while, even when she was sleeping, she had to hold it in her hand, rubbing the word "四" painted on the silver hook on the corner of the slingshot in order to fall asleep soundly.

No, that slingshot is very important to her and must not be lost!Without thinking, she rushed straight to the well.

"Hey! What are you doing, silly girl!!"

Nian Xiyue watched helplessly as her mentally ill sister rushed straight towards the well for a broken slingshot.

Before she came, she hurriedly asked what she was going to do, but when she heard a plop, that idiot jumped into the well.

"Ah..." Nian Xiyue just wanted to shout, but she covered her mouth in a strange way, her face blushing to prevent herself from making any movement.

She stared at the well with resentment. If this idiot died, she would be the only legitimate daughter of the Nian family, and her parents, brothers and sisters-in-law would definitely favor her again.

Listening to the sound of the thumping in the well getting weaker and weaker, Nian Xiyue suddenly heard footsteps coming towards the backyard.

"Ah!! Come on, my little sister fell into the water! Woooooo~" she screamed at the top of her voice.

"younger sister!!"

When Nian Gengyao heard the cry of his eldest sister, his eyes widened in shock, and he ran towards the backyard.

But there was a figure faster than him, that figure leaped over the wall and jumped straight into the icy well.

When Nian's family heard the movement, they rushed over in shock, while Nian Xiyue covered her heart and shrank silently to the corner.

After splashing in the water for a long time, Nian Yaoyue subconsciously started to hold her breath and jump out of the water.

Suddenly a black shadow rushed down from the mouth of the well, Nian Yaoyue was so frightened that she clung to the well wall, afraid of being crushed to death by that person.

"rice cake!!"

A strange but inexplicably familiar anxious call came, and Nian Yaoyue put her hand on the man's shoulder.

"Cough cough cough me...I'm so cold~" She was already dizzy at this time, and she didn't know why, although in the dark well, just a back view made her feel very safe.

The eyelids became heavier and heavier, she tried hard to force herself to wake up, to see the man's face clearly, but her eyes were still darkened.
"Don't be afraid, everything depends on me!"

Yin Zhen's shoulders trembled, he suddenly turned around and hugged her tightly in his arms, and jumped straight out of the well.

After falling into the water, Nian Yaoyue became seriously ill, coughing and fever almost every day.

It was so sickly that we ushered in our 12th birthday.

The 12th birthday is an important day second only to the 15th birthday, and the Nian family must make grand arrangements for this precious girl.

When a woman turns 12 and her birthday is called the golden hairpin, she will start wearing hairpins on her head, and when she is 15 years old when she is ready to marry, she will tie her hair and wear hairpins.

The family even invited relatives from their hometown, Fengyang Mansion.

Although Nian Yaoyue did not attend due to illness, piles of presents were delivered from the front hall to the courtyard where she lived.

"Master, today you have received more than 100 hairpins, large and small, including golden hairpins, jade hairpins, precious hairpins, and skirt hairpins. These are all exquisite ones selected by slaves. The silver hairpins and gold hairpins given by distant relatives The hairpins are all put in the warehouse by the slave, if you have time to look at them, the slave will pick them up for you~"

The maid, Jinyu, is now serving Miss San, and from time to time tells that idiot Su Peisheng about Miss San's situation.

"Oh~" Nian Yaoyue looked at the brocade box which was full of dressing tables and even piled up into a hill, feeling a bit dull.

This hairpin is a kind of jewelry composed of two hairpins crossed together.

The shape is two wires twisted into one strand at the end, and there must be a tassel pendant at the end of the decoration to set off. It's the same and nothing special.

The gift-giver's name and relationship with their family are written on those brocade boxes.

Their family is more or less a hairpin family, she even saw the concubine De in the palace, the princess concubine, and the prince Fujin: Sifujin, Qifujin, Bafujin, and Zhuchai sent by Jiufujin.

Nian Yaoyue couldn't help being proud that even these high-ranking masters treated their family with courtesy.

Now her eldest brother is the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and her second brother will be sent to Sichuan and Sichuan as governor in the spring of next year.

The second elder brother became the governor of the second rank before he was 30 years old, and became a big official in the frontier.It's really an embarrassment for the Nian family.

"Hey? Why is this brocade box not signed by the person who gave it?"

Nian Yaoyue opened the black lacquer box, and suddenly her eyes lit up. Inside the box was an unpretentious wood hairpin inlaid with precious stones.

"What kind of wood is this? This smell...it's like the spicy hot pot I ate yesterday..."

She twisted the polished and smooth hairpin between her fingertips.

"Master, this is made from the heart of the hundred-year-old pepper tree. The pepper can repel insects, and it can emit a natural fragrance of flowers and trees."

Jinyu took it easy and dealt with it freely.

Nian Yaoyue sniffed it carefully, and found that it really had a faint fragrance.

The strange thing is that the two red beads on the bead hairpin are also very special.

"Why is there still hair in this red agate bead?"

She became more and more curious, so she took a Western magnifying glass and looked at it confidently by the window.

"This may be the hair spar in southern Yunnan. I heard that it is much rarer than red agate!"

Jinyu broke into a cold sweat secretly, Su Peisheng is such a fool, he didn't make it clear that he gave gifts to his master Baylor, she almost couldn't fool the girl.

"Oh~" Nian Yaoyue admired the ingenious workmanship of nature, the thickness of the hair in these two beads is different.

It's like men and women are different, just like a pair.

Although this pearl hairpin is not the most expensive, it is the one she likes the most, Nian Yaoyue played with it fondly for a while, and naturally pinned the hairpin in her hair.

separated by a wall.Yinzhen sat behind the wall, listening to the sound coming from the wall.

"Master, Nian Gengyao and his son have been waiting in the study for a long time."

Su Peisheng reminded in a low voice.

"Don't ask Nian Gengyao to thank you. Whether he can secure the position of governor depends entirely on his ability. If he is just an incompetent person, no one can protect him!"

Yinzhen actually knew Nian Gengyao's ability in his heart. In terms of qualifications, there are many confidantes who are more qualified than him.

The reason why Nian Gengyao stood out was because his surname was Nian.Nothing else.

Su Peisheng felt that the Nian family was really a man who had risen to heaven. He not only used an iron fist to fight against all opinions, but also recommended Nian Gengyao as the youngest second-rank governor in the history of the Qing Dynasty, and even escorted the future of the younger generations of the Nian family.

Xiaonian's nephews are either haha ​​beads of the good-natured little princes in the palace, or companions of the children from the Danian's.

And Nian's biological mother and adoptive mother had already been named Mrs. Gaoming several years ago.

With his own efforts, the Danian clan will sooner or later bring the Nian clan to a prestigious status that no one dares to underestimate.
