Children of Loulan

On the second day, when Hanguli went to the Moon Courtyard, she saw Ainuer directing several servants to decorate a room. Seeing that Ainuer was busy, she did not go forward to disturb her, but stood aside and watched quietly, watching the servants carrying large and small things, including boxes, dressing tables, beds and wardrobes, into the room one after another. Although she didn't know why Ainuer was decorating the room, since she was busy, she didn't want to disturb her for the time being.

Ainuer, who was busy at the time, turned around to see how many things were outside the house, and saw Hanguli, who had entered the yard at some point, and was watching with curiosity.

Ainuer immediately shouted happily:

"Hanguli, come here quickly!"

When Hanguli heard this, she looked up and saw Ainur waving at her. She stood up and walked quickly to Ainur's side.

Ainuer reached out and held her hand and said:

"When did you come? Why didn't you call me?"

Hanguli: "I just arrived and saw you were busy so I didn't call you. By the way, what are you doing?"

As she spoke, she looked at the busy servants. She wondered in her heart, why did Ainuer need to decorate another room when she already had such a good room?

Seeing her curiously looking at all this, Ainuer smiled and pulled her into the house.

She said, "Let's go in and see what we can see outside. Come, take a look at this room. Do you like it?"

Hanguli didn't react for a moment, so she subconsciously asked:

"Huh? What?"

Seeing her look, Ainuer covered her mouth and chuckled, and stopped talking. She just held her hand quietly and continued to direct the servants to put everything in the house in order. After she carefully checked several times,

Then he said to the servants:

"Okay, let's all get down!"

The servants responded respectfully and then turned and left.

After all the servants had left, Ainuer smiled and looked at Hanguli again, pointed at the room and asked:

"How do you like this room? Do you like it? This is for you!"

Hanguli was shocked when she heard this, her eyes widened instantly, she pointed her index finger at herself, and said in disbelief:

"For... for me?"

She had never thought that she had only known this rich girl for a day, and she had already prepared such a nice room for her. You know, she didn't have her own room at home. It wasn't that her parents didn't give her one, but her family was too poor and there was no extra room.

"Yeah, it's for you!"

Seeing her shocked look, Ainur smiled gently and answered sincerely.

After getting Ainur's affirmation, Hanguli looked around the room carefully again. She looked at Ainur again and asked in confusion:

"Why... do you need to prepare a room for me?"

Ainuer smiled and took her hand again, saying:

"Mother said that you will come here often in the future, so she wants to arrange a room for you so that you can use it for rest in the future. I thought that since I have nothing to do anyway, I arranged it for you. Take a look and see if you like it!"

As she spoke, she took Hanguli around the house and explained to her in detail the things in the house.

"Look at this dressing table. It's the same one I use. My father found the best carpenter to make it. Oh, and this way, come here!"

While saying this, he did not stop moving his hands and feet. He pulled Hanguli to the bed, sat on the edge of the bed and continued:

"Come sit on it and feel it. Is this bed comfortable? This bed was originally my father's. He was going to buy it for me. I said I would give it to you first. Oh, and the sheets and quilts are all of the best quality. It's very comfortable to sleep on."

Hanguli looked at Ainur, who introduced the room that she had decorated carefully to her one by one. Her eyes followed her fingers, talking about the wardrobe one moment and the desk furnishings the next. Every item was picked and placed by her personally!

Seeing everything in this room, Hanguli thought of her own home. Her family was very poor and only had two or three mud-walled houses. Moreover, she and her brother were now squeezed on a mud bed in a room. She had never slept on a wooden bed before, and she had never thought that one day she would have such a good room that belonged only to her. Although this was only temporary, her heart was still touched.

It was at this moment that she suddenly understood. She understood those people who would do whatever it takes to climb up the social ladder, and she also understood those people who would marry into a rich family and become a concubine even if it meant getting beaten to a pulp, because a life of luxury could easily blind people.

She looked at the new clothes that Ainur had prepared for her in the closet, and then looked at the clothes she was wearing, which already had several patches on them. Suddenly she smiled knowingly. There was a world of difference between them.

What others tried every means to get, I got it easily, and the unhappiness in my heart was also dissipated a lot.

At this moment, she had figured it out, she had really figured it out. When she had advised her mother and brother before, although her words had been very good and she looked clear-headed, she was actually still a little blocked in her heart. However, that blockage was cleared today by Ainuer's actions.

It was not because of the wealth in front of her that blinded her eyes, but she thought that gain and loss coexist. She lost her family, but gained a life of luxury. She lost her freedom, but gained the harem life that others dream of. Although she was a caged bird in the harem, it was also the dream of many ordinary people! Moreover, the future life of her parents and family was well guaranteed.

Thinking of this, she suddenly became enlightened. No matter what would happen in the future, she would keep moving forward, because the road was always under her feet, and she had walked it step by step.

After she put on new clothes, she took Ainur's hand and said to her sincerely:

"Ainur, thank you!"

Thank you for preparing this room for me, thank you for helping me figure out what I should do next, and thank you for letting me know that although destiny cannot be changed, the path can be walked steadily.

When Ainuer saw her like this, she knew that she liked it here very much, and she said happily:

"What are you thanking me for? If there's anything I should thank, it should be me who should thank you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the servants reported from outside.

"Miss, the eldest master is here to give you something!"

After hearing the servant's report, Ainur took Hanguli out.

After leaving the room, Hanguli saw a young man dressed in a slightly noble manner standing in the yard. His eyebrows and eyes were not very handsome, but he looked upright.

Ainuer shouted happily: "Brother, you are back!"

The eldest son: "Well, little sister, I brought you a gift this time!"

Ainur immediately smiled brightly and said with anticipation:

"what?"

Seeing his little sister so happy, the eldest son smiled and touched her head, then turned around, took out a box from the hand of his attendant, and handed it to Ainur.

Ainur opened the box and saw an emerald green bracelet. She took it out and saw that the color was uniform and bright. She held up the bracelet and looked towards the sun. Under the sunlight, the bracelet looked even more transparent and bright.

The eldest son looked at his younger sister and said lovingly, "This is a jade bracelet that we brought back from the Central Plains!"

Ainuer was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear: "Thank you, brother. I like it very much!"

After saying this, she looked at the bracelet carefully before putting it on her hand.

At this moment, the eldest son glanced behind her, as if he had just discovered a stranger. He asked:

"Who is this?"

Hearing her elder brother's question, Ainur took Hanguli by the hand and said:

"This is my friend, her name is Hanguli! Big brother, if you have any good stuff, give one to her!"

Hanguli didn't want to say anything, but she didn't expect the eldest master to see her, and Ainur even asked the eldest master for a gift on her behalf, which made her a little overwhelmed. She could only bow awkwardly and said:

"I've met the eldest young master!"

The eldest son looked at the naughty little sister and said, "I didn't know that my little sister had guests today, so I only brought a gift. I'll have someone deliver it to you later. I haven't been to Dad since I came back, so I'm going to Dad first!"

Ainuer smiled and said: "Okay, big brother, you go ahead and do your work!"

After watching the eldest son leave, Ainuer took the initiative to say:

"My eldest brother would go to the Central Plains to carry goods every year, and he would bring me gifts every time!"

Hanguli said apologetically: "Why are you asking your elder brother for a gift on my behalf?"

Ainuer said indifferently:

"Oh, it's okay. My eldest brother is very generous. I have four brothers in total. They are all very nice to me, but I don't like my third brother very much..."

"Miss, the Third Young Master is here to see you!"

Before Ainuer finished speaking, she heard the servant's report.

Ainur: "Third brother? Why is he here at this time!"

Hanguli: "Hasn't he come here before at this time?"

Ainur nodded:

"Yes, Third Brother, usually he would be sleeping at this time!"

Just as she finished speaking, a male voice came from outside

"Little sister, I'm here to see you!"

The two of them looked out of the yard and saw a man dressed in a similarly noble manner walking in.

Although the third young master was greeting Ainur, his eyes were fixed on Hanguli. The look in his eyes made Hanguli feel uncomfortable.

But she still bowed and said, "Greetings, Third Young Master!"

The third son smiled maliciously and said, "No need to be polite."

"Who is this, little sister?"

Although the latter sentence was also said to Ainur, his eyes were still fixed on Hanguli and never moved away.

Seeing this, Ainur pulled Hanguli and pulled her behind her, using her body to block the Third Master's sight.

He said a little displeased: "Third brother, this is my friend, a very important friend, why did you come here at this time!"

Seeing this, the Third Young Master smiled meaningfully and said, "Oh, I heard that a beautiful lady came to your place. Oh, no, it's a friend. A friend came. Let me take a look!"

Ainur: "Then Third Brother, come and see empty-handed!"

The Third Young Master laughed and said, pretending to be a little embarrassed:

"I came in a hurry and forgot. Tomorrow, I will bring a gift for your friend tomorrow."

Ainur: "Third brother, do you want to come visit tomorrow? Or you can go ask dad first?"
