Yi Xin as a concubine

Time flies, and the faint chirping of cicadas reminds us that spring is passing and summer is coming.

The Xin family has been very lively these days. Xin Zhen'er, the sixth sister of the Xin family, is about to get married, and everyone in the house is busy. Only Xin Bao'er was frightened by the noise and shrank back into her rat hole.

Seeing that the child's head, which had just appeared, was about to shrink back again, Cheng was so anxious. She had waited patiently for three days, but she didn't see her mother go out. Finally, she could no longer sit still.

He took Little Nine Xin Ling'er and Little Ten Xin Die'er to Xin Bao'er's small courtyard.

"Eighth sister, Eighth sister, Ling'er is here to play with you." As soon as she reached the door, Xin Ling'er shouted excitedly.

Xin Baoer had been staying in her room for several days, secretly regretting her own cowardice. She had finally developed some courage during this period, but now that all her efforts were about to be wasted, she couldn't help but tear up again.

When he suddenly heard Xin Ling'er's voice, he was a little dazed, but then he became happy. Finally, he didn't have to worry about it alone. Thinking of this, his steps to go out quickened.

"Sister Ling'er." Xin Baoer called out as she stepped out of the room, with a rare hint of joy in her voice. However, when she saw several people sitting in the small hall, the little smile that had just appeared froze on her face in an instant. She did not react until Mother Lin reminded her.

Then he immediately knelt down obediently and saluted Cheng, calling her "Mother" in a low voice.

"Look at you, kid. Your mother is not a scourge. Could it be that your mother has been harsh on you over the years? Every time you see me, you act like a mouse seeing a cat. It really makes me sad. Since you don't like me, I'd better be sensible and leave!"

As she said this, Cheng immediately started acting like a dramatic character. She picked up a handkerchief and rubbed her eyes in a pretentious manner, which made Xin Baoer feel a little annoyed.

She was timid and afraid of strangers, but not stupid. On the contrary, she was very sensitive to other people's emotions. Naturally, she could see that her mother was teasing her deliberately, and she felt a little amused.

After this period of training, she no longer felt unfamiliar with her family members and servants. She could naturally feel that her family members were very kind to her. Seeing her mother still praising her with all her might, she felt a little reluctant.

Enduring the discomfort of being in contact with outsiders, she carefully put her arm around her mother and softly advised, "Don't be sad, mother. It was my fault. I will go to pay my respects to you every day and have meals with you, okay?"

"Really? You said it, and I take it seriously. If you don't come tomorrow morning, mother will be hungry."

After hearing what Xin Baoer said, Cheng wiped away her tears without hesitation, tucked the handkerchief around her waist neatly, stood up from the chair swiftly, and walked out of the yard with Qi Mama who was serving her, threatening her as she walked, as if she was afraid that Xin Baoer would go back on her word.

Seeing Madam Xin almost tripping over the threshold when she reached the door, the slightly reddened corners of her eyes couldn't help but twitch. She turned around and saw two little girls who were laughing so hard that they were bent over, and then she couldn't help but smile slightly.

After laughing enough, Xin Ling'er stepped forward, took Xin Bao'er's hand, and said coquettishly: "Eighth sister, let's go give Sixth sister a dowry gift. There will be some outsiders coming tomorrow. When there are too many people, we sisters won't be able to talk to each other."

"Yes, let's go and call Sister Miao'er from the third room. Her marriage will probably be decided soon. If it is, the wedding will not be far away."

Xin Die'er is also the eldest son's concubine's daughter. She doesn't have a strong presence in daily life, so she has basically no contact with Xin Bao'er. Now that she heard her speak, Xin Bao'er realized that she has a sister who speaks so nicely, and she couldn't help but look at her twice more.

The little girl is petite and has some baby fat on her face. When she smiles, her eyebrows and eyes are curved. She is very cute and makes people want to get close to her.

Xin Baoer couldn't help but feel curious, how could such a cute little girl have no sense of existence?

As if she knew what she was thinking, Xin Die'er said, "I'm afraid Eighth Sister has forgotten me. I have had poor health since I was a child. I have spent most of the year recuperating in the nunnery on the mountain. It's only this year that I am in better health, so I go less often."

Xin Baoer nodded and smiled slightly. The sisters chatted for a while before asking Mother Lin to bring the prepared gifts. The three sisters walked towards the second room together.

Seeing their seventh sister Xin Miaoer rushing over at the door, the sisters greeted each other and then went into Xin Zhener's yard together.

The little maid lifted the curtain for them, and the low sobbing sound became clearer. The four sisters looked at each other before stepping into Xin Zhener's bedroom.

Xin Baoer walked behind the few people. She was a little uneasy at first because she came to the strange space, but after hearing the crying, she put that uneasiness aside and frowned as she looked at Xin Zhener, who was sitting in front of the dressing mirror and crying.

"Sixth sister, tomorrow is a big wedding day, why are you crying so sadly? The maids and old women have neglected you, I will go find mother to deal with them." Xin Ling'er is quick-witted and as a legitimate daughter, she speaks with confidence.

As soon as she finished saying this, Xin Zhen'er didn't do anything yet, but the maids and servants around her were frightened. They looked at their master who was crying miserably, hoping that she could take a rest first and redress their grievances. They didn't want to be punished by the Second Madam.

Seeing that her younger sisters had all come, Xin Zhen'er felt a little embarrassed and slowly stopped crying. Seeing that the maids and old women serving her were all silent, she waved her hand and sent them out.

"My sisters are here. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you." Xin Zhener wiped her face and stood up embarrassedly.

"We are all sisters, there is no problem. If a sister has any worries, she might as well talk to her sisters. Even if it cannot be solved, it will make you feel better after talking it out." Xin Die'er was very understanding, and the other girls nodded in agreement.

Xin Zhener smiled shyly upon hearing this, her pretty face flushed with red, and she said awkwardly, "There's nothing I can't tell you, it's just that I'm leaving home tomorrow, and I'm a little scared."

"Yes, mother said that my marriage will be decided soon. Auntie has been worrying about my dowry recently, but I always feel that it is not real. I can't put my mind at ease. I have never seen that person, so I don't know whether he is round or flat."

Xin Miaoer, the seventh sister of the Xin family, was very touched when she heard what Xin Zhener said. After she saw Xin Baoer standing quietly in the corner, she said, "It would be nice if I could go and see it like Sister Baoer did."

After listening to Xin Zhener's words, Xin Baoer was daydreaming, thinking about her own marriage. When she heard someone calling her name, she looked up in confusion and looked at several people questioningly. She didn't hear clearly who was talking to her, let alone the content of the conversation. In the end, she could only smile awkwardly as a response.

The sisters naturally knew her temper. In fact, they were surprised that she came with them today, so naturally no one cared whether she answered or not, and they continued to chat intimately.

When Xin Zhener's aunt Zheng finished her work and learned that her daughter was crying alone in the room, she hurried over. When she arrived outside her daughter's bedroom, she heard several girls chattering loudly in the room, but there was no crying sound, so she felt relieved.

She tugged at her clothes, straightened her messy hair, then raised the corners of her mouth and walked leisurely into the inner room. Seeing the eighth girl sitting in the corner, she paused for a moment, but quickly reacted. She greeted the girls with a smile and exchanged a few words before leaving tactfully, leaving the space to the younger sisters.

Aunt Zheng came out of the inner room, still feeling a little excited. She trotted to find Second Madam Hua, who had just finished her work and was about to drink some tea. Then she leaned over to Hua's ear with a smile and whispered a few words.

Hua heard this and said angrily, "This is a good thing. You are so mysterious and scared me. My sister-in-law will be happy to know that the eighth girl is coming out to visit. I have to tell her."

Hua was about to walk towards the main room, and as she walked, she did not forget to call Aunt Zheng, "Don't be idle either, go and get some tea and snacks for the girls, so that they can chat for a while longer, and my sister-in-law can be happy for a while longer."

"Well, I'll get the best ones and send them to those sisters right away." Zheng agreed and hurried to the kitchen to make arrangements.

Xin Baoer had no idea that just visiting could become a big event in the Xin family. At this moment, she was listening attentively to the conversation between several sisters. Although she was not very used to communicating with people, she would occasionally say a few words and try her best to participate in it so as not to waste any opportunity to change herself.
