Chapter 64: And I'm Just a Papier-mâché Kite
Daddy's achievements are great, and he is the object of many people's eyes. How many people are waiting for an accident in the General's Mansion, so as to find an opportunity to step on it, I know that there is darkness in the officialdom, and over the years, because of my relationship with my brother, I have also offended many people. The elder brother is arrogant and uninhibited, and he also has his own insistence on marriage, he wants to marry what he likes, but it's a pity that he doesn't fancy any of those official ladies, and his words just don't fit his eyes.
And because of my stubborn temperament, I haven't married even though I'm eighteen. My father and mother looked calm on their faces, but they were also very anxious in their hearts, but they didn't want us to be unhappy, even if they were in a hurry, they could only let us go.
It's another sunny day, and I'm up early today, thinking that my kite must be dry enough to try it.
But when I went to the yard, I found that my kite with a goldfish was missing, and I didn't tell the maid that the kite couldn't move?
"Wow, look! The fish has flown into the sky!" I was sulking when I saw the maids rushing out to see the strangeness.
I looked up and saw that wasn't my kite?
Damn Shu Nianli, without my permission, actually took my kite! I haven't even flown that kite yet, he is good, and picked up a cheap one.
I snorted and rushed to the backyard, ready to separate from Shu Nian. I didn't know that I had just left the yard, and the belly of words I prepared on the road was stuck in my throat when I saw the people in the yard, and it was not Shu Nianli who flew a kite in the yard, but Bai Jinnan in an ink-colored brocade robe.
I looked at him in a daze, he held the spool in one hand, and the other hand slightly lifted the string and pulled it at will, and the kite flew higher and higher with his pull. His hair and inky brocade robe fluttered in the wind, like a wonderful painting.
He looked at the sky lightly for a long time, and said leisurely: "No matter how high this kite flies, it will eventually be restrained in the hands of others, it's really boring......"
I couldn't help but comment when I heard him say this, "Then break the line and fly by yourself......"
"But the kite can't fly without a string, and it loses its direction. ”
Maybe the sky is where it belongs. ”
"Fallacy!"
"Yours is the fallacy!"
"You're not very old, but you have sharp teeth!"
"You're not too old, but you're aggressive!"
"It's long, don't be unreasonable!" Daddy walked out of the courtyard from the corner and hurriedly saluted Bai Jinnan, "The little girl has been pampered since she was a child, and I hope that the lord of the country will not blame." ”
"It doesn't matter, she's just a child. He flicked his wide sleeves, raised his hand, and tore off the string of the kite! The kite lost the control of the string, shook a few times, and finally fell from the sky.
I was in a hurry, "Why did you break my kite?!"
"Didn't you say it might have belonged to the sky?"
"......" I was choked by his words, which made my brain hot, I was already talking about things, what does it have to do with my kite?
He handed me the spool, "See, the kite can't even fly into the sky without the spool, let alone the sky, unless one day it can fly up to the sky without the support of the thread, and then it will really find the sky that belongs to it." ”
What he said was profound, and I couldn't react for a while, what did he mean by this, and what did he mean?
I stood stunned and thought, if the kite can fly into the sky without a line, it is really powerful, and a really strong person does not need the support and control of the line. And now I'm not a kite that can fly into the sky by relying on a string, and I am not qualified to say that 'it belongs to the sky'.
I am just a woman, I have no power, no extraordinary martial arts, and if I don't have my brother, father and mother, it will be difficult for me to gain a foothold in this cruel and complicated world. How many official ladies have become caged birds, they have no right to choose, they are the trade and sacrifice of their parents' officialdom.
And I am lucky, I have the right to choose freely, my father and mother love me, and work hard to do that tough line, so that I can fly freely in the sky. How lucky I am to have this parent in this life!
My eyes fell on the spool in my hand, Bai Jinnan and Daddy were gone, they had their business to do, and I was just a papier-mâché kite......
Vulnerable, with nothing to do.
From that day on, I was in a low mood. I no longer go to the yard to play with flowers and plants, I no longer go to the yard to run and fly kites, I lock myself in the house all day. I don't want to see Bai Jinnan again, because he is the cruelest person in the world, and he has to puncture my beautiful illusions and let me see the cruel reality of this world dripping with blood.
I locked myself in my house for a week, and these days, I meditated, and I finally figured it out: if you want to be a kite that is free and does not need the support of a line, you must have the ability to get a piece of the sky, and if the kite wants to fly freely in the sky, it can only break free from the line and control the direction by itself!
From this day on, I frequently went in and out of my father's study, we have a few shops in our house, usually my brother is taking care of it, and my father used to let me learn to read the account book, but I am lazy and like to be free and unrestrained and unwilling to learn. Now I want to learn, I want to learn!
I have a good mind, and as long as it is something I want to remember, with a little care, I can remember it. I began to follow Shu Nianli to manage the shop, contact the ledger, disguise myself and contact some merchants.
Our shop has added a few pharmacies within half a year, I have been in contact with medicinal materials since I was a child, and I am very good at this, coupled with the ability to never forget and the principle of helping the world and saving people, everyone likes to come to Shujia's pharmacy to buy medicine.
Our family's medicine is not only good and affordable, but also gives away some small prescriptions for free. For example, when the lady of your family comes to buy medicine, she will give away small prescriptions for her appearance, and patients come to the store to buy medicine, and she will give other prescriptions for strengthening the body.
Shu Mansion is already famous in the Imperial Kingdom, and coupled with the efforts of my brother and me, Shu Mansion has quickly established a pivotal position in the Imperial Kingdom. But when the tree is big, it attracts the wind, and the official eunuch who was originally red at the status of Shufu saw the shops in Shufu blooming like sesame seeds - the high and high eyes were even red.
On this day, I went to the shop to have a look, but before I got to the shop, I saw from a distance that my shop was surrounded by water. I frowned, knowing that something must have happened to the shop, and I had been preventing this from happening, so I wasn't very panicked when I encountered this incident.
The maid opened the way in front, shouting all the way along: "Let one go, let one let ......"
My appearance has undoubtedly become the latest highlight, and someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "This is the steward of the young master of Shufu, it is they who sell fake medicines, not only ruining the appearance of my lady, but also almost murdered her!"
