A piece of Japanese incense

Nanyin stood silently aside. Fuguier came over staggeringly and rubbed her feet with his head. She picked it up and touched its furry body. The soft hair was like hers.

They were the first people she met when she came into this world.

Nan Yin thought: "I don't know if it was my father who kidnapped me, and who is the 'he' that my mother mentioned? Did the group of people who kidnapped her really leave, or are they just nearby observing them? After they leave, will they take revenge on Aunt Hong's family because they saved me?"

She suddenly said, "Brother, come home with me. My father can teach you how to read and write. My grandmother is also a very good doctor. She can help Aunt Hong recover!"

Yu Nian raised his head and stood there blankly.

Nan Yin continued, "Brother, He'er can't bear to leave you!"

Yu Nian's eyes gradually became firm and he nodded silently.

Nan Yin was very happy. She held Fuguier in one hand and Yu Nian in the other and came to the front of the house to discuss with her mother:

"Mother, let's take Brother Yu Nian and Aunt Hong home!"

Mother was still chatting with Aunt Hong. After hearing what she said, she paused and her eyes lit up: "Great, that's great! I was wondering how to repay Sister Hong." Then she held Aunt Hong's hand and said, "Sister Hong, you are an orphan and a widow, and life is difficult. Just come to my house, live a peaceful life, and take care of your body!"

Aunt Hong was about to say something when her mother continued, "Sister, I really feel that I am compatible with you. Besides, we have to consider the child. He can't always live in the mountains hunting for a living. He has to get married and have children, see what is outside the mountains, and learn to read and write to realize his ideals and ambitions, right?"

Aunt Hong fell into deep thought...

Seeing Aunt Hong didn't say anything, my father said, "I have no way to repay you for saving my daughter's life. I think Yu Nian is brave and resolute, a rough diamond. If she can be guided, enrich her experience, and get proper guidance and training, I believe she will have a bright future and become a great person. I am not talented, but I have read a few years of books. If you don't mind, I am willing to teach her myself. What do you think?"

Nan Yin looked at the man's eyes flashing with determination and kindness. She didn't understand what kind of person her father was.

Aunt Hong's expression froze on her face, as if she was struck by some unspeakable emotion. She was stunned for a moment, then she grabbed Yu Nian's hand, pulled him in front of her and said, "I heard from He Yatou that you are the top scholar. Nian'er, Nian'er is so blessed that we have cultivated for several lifetimes. It is a privilege for us to have you as his master~"

As she said this, she pretended to ask Yu Nian to kowtow. Nan Yin saw her mother take Aunt Hong's hand and nodded, and the two smiled at each other.

Aunt Hong's family had very few things, so they quickly loaded all their luggage into the car, packed up, and prepared to go home! ~

Nanyin, no, she should be called Zhiyihe. She sat in a carriage with her mother and Aunt Hong. She lay on the soft velvet blanket. Occasionally, the wind blew and lifted the silk curtain. She squinted her eyes and listened to her mother and Aunt Hong chatting leisurely...

"Sister Hong, are you born with a bad health?"

"I didn't take good care of myself during the confinement period, so I got sick and became confused at the slightest sign of trouble."

"Your husband is..."

"I was at war and didn't come back..."

"Alas, we women are the ones who suffer~"

"Madam, you are cheerful and open-minded, with skin as white as snow. You must have been raised with care by your elders. Although the top scholar does not show his emotions, he is always concerned about you. Xiao He'er is so smart and cute, your life is perfect and beautiful!"

"Oh no! Don't mention it. My parents are very good to me. He'er's father grew up in my house and we were childhood sweethearts. After He'er was born, we were very happy. But after his father passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, the emperor insisted on marrying him to Princess Ruilin. I couldn't disobey the order, but how could I let my daughter become a concubine? I wanted a divorce. His father couldn't disobey the imperial order, and he didn't want to divorce me. We dragged it on like this, and now the princess has given birth to a child..."

Nan Yin thought: "Isn't this a scumbag? He's hanging on both sides, wanting it and wanting it at the same time, huh~"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of the bell in the car, Nanyin soon fell asleep.

"Persimmons! I'm closing the stall. I'm selling them at a low price~"

“Baozi~vegetarian and meat ones~”

"You must be thirsty after walking all this time, sir. Have a cup of tea~"

"Boss, can you make it cheaper? I want to buy two."

"..."

Nanyin was awakened by the cries of vendors and the sounds of chatting and laughing. She lifted the red silk curtain and looked out of the car. Although it was already dark, the streets were brightly lit and crowded with people. Teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, and workshops were on both sides of the market. There were stalls on both sides of the open space, with a wide variety of goods. There were also children running around in the crowd, laughing one after another. Looking around, the prosperous world was bustling.

"Ah He, this is too dangerous. Whatever you want to buy, let Yuzhu buy it for you. You can't run around anymore, okay?" the mother warned seriously.

"Oh, I'm just taking a look~"

Nanyin saw the ancient market for the first time, and her curiosity was overflowing! She was thinking in her mind that when she got the chance, she must go out and have a good time shopping. After all, since she was here, she must experience the wonderful life of a rich lady who goes shopping, hahahahaha! ~

The carriage gradually slowed down, and Zhi Yihe heard a woman shouting from afar: "He He, He He!"

Mother quickly lifted the car curtain and said, "Mom, we are back. He'er is fine too. Everything is fine now."

Nan Yin looked up and saw a very beautiful and graceful woman. She was tall and slender, dressed elegantly and decently, and her thick hair was carefully combed, fluffy and dignified. She stood there with an anxious look on her face, and before the coachman stopped the carriage, she couldn't wait to walk to the front of the carriage.

She recognized her; this was her grandmother.

She quickly stood up and walked out of the car: "Grandma, I'm back!"

The woman carried her out of the car and looked around: "Grandma's dearest child, you have suffered so much and become thinner." Nan Yin saw tears welling up in her eyes and her nose felt sore. She hugged her tightly, feeling the care and love of the old woman.

"It's hot, come in quickly, don't just stand there, let them rest and have some food. They must be tired after sitting in the car all day."

Zhi Yihe's grandfather opened his arms to her and took her from her grandmother's arms. Nan Yin looked at the old man, who was in high spirits, with a glow on his ruddy face, revealing a sense of solemnity and happiness. His eyes narrowed into slits as he held her in one hand and pinched her little face with the other: "You naughty baby, you scared your grandpa this time. I have to think about how to punish you, you little rascal!"

Nanyin felt herself surrounded by warmth. In this strange world, she once again felt the love from her family.

My mother took Aunt Hong's hand and introduced her to my grandmother, and the group walked in. Two servants led the way with dim lanterns in front. After entering the gate, there was a winding corridor. The whole corridor was pitch black, and except for the little light under my feet, I couldn't see anything clearly.

Walking along the corridor, lights shine through the windows and flicker among the shadows of the trees that shade the houses.

Everyone walked into the house, which was brightly lit. A table had already been set up in the house. Nan Yin looked at the table full of food, her lips slightly parted, and a desire for food ignited in her eyes.
