Chapter 20 Mother

Mrs. Mu thought for a moment, "I hit you off at first sight, does it count?"

Lu Yalan nodded and shook her head again.

Her brain may have been soaked with tears just now, and when she finished crying, the water in her head was gone, and she came to her senses again.

It is true that people can reach out to help at first sight, but most of the time, friends who don't know well are the most taboo to talk deeply, and they risk the consequences of offending people to pull people, and most people will not do it.

Mrs. Mu looked at Master Yuan: "Look, I'll just say that Yalan is a smart child. ”

Lu Yalan also looked at the edge.

Lu Yalan, who was crying with red eyes, still had a rouge color on her nose that had not dissipated, and the undried tears on her face flashed under the light, which was completely different from the gentle image of Zhili on weekdays, looking pitiful and cute.

She blinked her water-washed eyes and looked straight at Yuan, there were doubts in her dark eyes, and there was expectation hidden in the depths.

Fate was helpless: "Amitabha!

Mother!

Lu Yalan was stunned, this was a taboo word for her and full of all the beautiful fantasies.

Lu Yalan has never seen her mother since she can remember, and no one in Lu Zhai has mentioned it, she only knows that her mother's maiden name is Cheng Yaoyao.

Her mother seems to be a taboo in Lu Zhai, when she was a child, she also pulled Qian Ma's sleeve and asked her mother what kind of person she was, but somehow it reached the ears of the old lady, and she was punished for copying scriptures for half a year, and Qian Ma was also beaten half to death, and she has never mentioned her mother since.

After so many years, it is only when I dream back at midnight that I dare to stare at the bedpost and fantasize. If my mother is still there, will I kiss her on the cheek, and will I gently tell her "Be careful, don't fall" when you are playing!"

Lu Yalan once thought that if she had the opportunity in the future, she would definitely inquire about her mother's news, at least she would know where she was buried, so that she could have a place to express her thoughts. But she didn't want to be so sudden, and her wish came true.

Lu Yalan hurriedly said: "My mother ......"

Mrs. Mu understood, looked at Lu Yalan with nostalgia in her eyes, and the memories of the past were unveiled at this moment: "Your mother is a very good person, she saved me, saved fate, and saved many, many people. ”

"Then, then she ...... "Then does she like me?"

Lu Yalan looked at Mrs. Mu eagerly and eagerly, and the words that she had chewed thousands of times in her heart wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask at this time.

Mrs. Mu is also a mother, looking at her friend's orphaned eyes looking at herself, she felt sour in her heart, and secretly sighed: Cheng Yaoyao, you are worthy of your heart and the motherland, but the only person who owes it is destined to live forever and cannot make up for it.

In the face of the child's eager gaze, Mrs. Mu's good words lost all their taste.

She wants to say that your mother is the brightest star of that era, and she wants to say that your mother is hearty and intelligent, and her charm is unmatched.

However, these are not the love of a mother for her child.

Mrs. Mu finally said: "Your mother chose the name Lan for you, hoping that you would 'not be admired for your sewing, even if no one else is proud,' which is what she said. ”

"Yes, yes?" Lu Yalan couldn't help laughing, and then was annoyed: "Although I don't quite understand what this means, it should be a very good blessing!"

"I, I have failed my mother's expectations. ”

It turns out that she is also the child that her mother expects! However, she can't even understand her mother's expectations!

Lu Yalan smiled shyly, but she didn't know that she had burst into tears at this time.

Mrs. Mu looked sad, turned her back and wiped her somewhat damp eyes, Master Liyuan sat steadily, but the speed of the Buddha beads turned much faster.

The Lu family is wrong!

Mrs. Mu collected her emotions and tried to explain the meaning of this sentence to her, but Lu Yalan shook her head when she saw this, and rarely refused: "I want to figure out the meaning of this poem by myself." I'll find out soon. ”

It was her insistence, and it seemed that doing so would bring her closer to what her mother wanted her to be.

Lu Yalan had too many doubts sealed in her heart, and when she saw her mother's friends at this moment, she was eager and excited, eager to understand her mother from others.

In this way, she can be a little closer, a little closer to her mother.

She was about to ask, but was interrupted by the movement of a large hand over her head.

Lu Yalan looked at Master Yuan in a daze.

"You are too young to know more than to add to your troubles, you just need to know that your mother loves you very much, and she never wanted to abandon you. As for the rest, you will naturally know when the time comes. ”

There were blessings and worries in the eyes of Master Yuan, and the heat of the palm of his hand spread all the way to his heart through his scalp.

Lu Yalan sensed something unusual from the attitude of the two of them avoiding talking, and she suddenly didn't want to ask any more.

No matter what the mother is like or what she has been through, one day, she will always find the answer!

Mrs. Mu was also relieved to see that Lu Yalan was no longer asking, and she interrupted: "Do you want Yalan to meet my son, he has a lot of girls chasing him." ”

Maybe it was her mother's expectation that made her finally let go of her knots, maybe it was knowing that someone loved her, she was no longer inferior and negative, and Lu Yalan grew up at this moment.

Hearing Mrs. Mu mention her son again, Lu Yalan seemed very calm.

She didn't shy or avoid talking about it, she thought about it and said seriously: "Zhao Dingsheng, my ex-fiancΓ©, is said to be a progressive young man, he is extremely disgusted with arranged marriages, so I think you should ask your son's opinion first." ”

"After all, free love is now being promoted. ”

Lu Yalan doesn't have any thoughts about free love, but most of the current men seem to have the same mentality as Zhao Dingsheng, so she naturally has to take this aspect into account to avoid the tragedy of being divorced from repeating in her.

Lu Yalan talked about her life's events calmly, completely without the shyness of a boudoir woman at the beginning, and her down-to-earth and generous appearance coincided with the figure of someone in Mrs. Mu's memory in an instant.

Mrs. Mu pondered for a moment and waved her hand: "Don't look at me as an old-fashioned woman now, in fact, I have traveled a lot of places in the early years and accepted new-style ideas. ”

"I heard that you are not doing well in the Lu family, and I will let my boy go back and say thank you without mentioning family affairs. He is still a little capable, the Lu family knows that you are my savior, and I think I will be kind to you in the future, and when I pass the bright road, you can often come over to talk to me. ”

"When the time comes, you will look at him again, and he will not be satisfied!"

Mrs. Mu planned for herself like this, Lu Yalan was moved and happy, seeing that she no longer mentioned the relationship between the two, Lu Yalan also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, but she didn't expect to add such a sentence in the end.

Lu Yalan couldn't cry or laugh a little, so she didn't hear it for the time being.

She is very self-aware, she is both an old-style woman and an old girl who has been divorced, how can someone who is so good that the Lu family has to stammer look at her!

Lu Yalan didn't think about it anymore, and when she saw that it was getting late, she couldn't bother anymore, so she planned to leave.

It's just that I didn't feel it just now, but when the room was quiet at this time, Lu Yalan began to feel embarrassed in hindsight.

Knowing how to speak for a while, Lu Yalan's gaze began to wander around unconsciously.

Suddenly, his eyes touched Mrs. Mu's shoulder and froze. On the light blue material, a palm-sized dark water stain suddenly appeared, just like a bug on the snow-white wall, which was extremely eye-catching.

It's a shame!

Lu Yalan's face burned badly, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Mrs. Mu saw that Lu Yalan was embarrassed, so she opened her mouth to relieve the siege, asked her to go back and rest early, and thoughtfully proposed several ways to quickly reduce swelling in her eyes.

When Lu Yalan was about to close the door, she vaguely heard Mrs. Mu complaining to Master Yuan: "How can you say it directly, you won't make up a reason, and see what kind of crying the child is......"

Lu Yalan smiled slightly, didn't listen again, and walked towards her guest house with Hongxing.

The two elders hid something from her, and several of them knew it, but they had no ill will towards them, and that was enough.

As for the rest, one day she'll figure it out!

......

Don't be admired because of sewing, even if no one is self-respecting.

Lu Yalan's surface is so light that she can't sleep when she is alone at night, her head repeatedly echoes her mother's expectations for her, she feels that she has disappointed her mother for a while, and she is determined to become what her mother wants.

I tossed and turned like this, and I didn't know when I fell asleep, but I felt that it didn't take long for the sound of Hongxing opening the door.

Sighing tiredly, Lu Yalan sat up with her head covered by insomnia, and she hugged the quilt for a while before opening her eyes.

The next moment, Hongxing heard the young lady's "ah" voice: "My eyes!"

Hongxing threw down the basin and ran forward, and when she saw the young lady's appearance, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Lu Yalan's hair is curled, her eyes are full of red bloodshots, and she has a pair of big dark circles, of course, these are just a little taken care of, the most important thing is that Lu Yalan's eyes are swollen.

The original peach blossom eyes were slightly upturned, and the smile was like a crescent moon full of wine, sparkling. Now, the double eyelids that are suitable for the width of the eyelids are engorged and expanded to the width of a finger, the eyelids are swollen like bulging Roshan, the eyes are squeezed black and bright with only a small slit, and the thick eyelashes are completely covered by the swollen eyelids, and at a glance it seems that the eyes are completely squeezed by fat, and the eye area is only hypertrophied, but the eyes are nowhere to be seen.

Lu Yalan's eyes widened hard, but the heavy pressure above her eyes made her stumble and squint back to squinting as soon as she lost her strength.

Hearing Hongxing's laughter, Lu Yalan hammered the bed hard, "You're still laughing!"

Hongxing finally stopped laughing, and pointed at Lu Yalan without fear of death: "Eyelid monster!"

Lu Yalan seemed to feel that there were two knives stuck in her heart, and she framed her: "Didn't you put a cold towel on me yesterday? Why is it still swollen like this?"

Hongxing was not afraid of her: "Miss, when a towel is put on your face, can't you feel cold or hot? I did it strictly according to the method taught by Mrs. Mu, who knew that my eyes would still be swollen like this!"

Lu Yalan hammered the bed again, "I'm going home today, I don't know how many people I'm going to meet along the way, what does this make others think!"

Lu Yalan also encountered this kind of thing for the first time.

I didn't know if I hadn't cried before, but then I cried a lot, but at that time she was full of worries, how could she have time to look in the mirror, and she hadn't seen outsiders during her recuperation, and the maid wouldn't remind her even if she saw it, so she also knew for the first time that her eyes that she had cried would swell like this the next day.

She said indignantly: "If it is forgotten elsewhere, there is always a way to cover it, but it is the eyes, it is difficult to tie a cloth belt and be blind." Saying that, she became angry with Hongxing again: "Yesterday, Aunt Mu said several methods, why did you choose a cold compress, it has no effect at all!"

Hongxing retorted in a low voice: "It's not what you said, Miss, it's most convenient to apply cold compresses." ”

Lu Yalan didn't listen: "When the old lady asked, I said that you put chili oil on my eyelids as a cream." ”

Red apricot belly, how stupid is it to believe this reason.

Knowing that Miss was not in a hurry, she had the time to tease herself, so Hongxing found a step down by herself: "Okay, I was wrong, what should we do now, will we return it today?"

Lu Yalan still remembered that Hongxing called her eyelids strange, and she was unmoved by the gestures, she hugged her arms and snorted coldly, turned her head and refused to communicate with Hongxing, but she didn't want her to hug the quilt and her hair was not deterrent at all.

"Miss, if you don't speak, I'll set off normally today!"

Lu Yalan was reluctant: "Take an egg and come back and try it." Li San and they are all ready, it's not good to trouble others to change the time, if it doesn't work, they can only go out like this. ”

"Ah, then you can't call Mother Qian's second aunt too proud to die!"

Lu Yalan was stunned, turned her head and looked at Hongxing fixedly, seeing that Hongxing thought that something was wrong with her, she hurriedly lowered her head to check her appearance.

After a while, he still asked, "Miss, why do you look at me like this?"

"Our red apricot is so smart!" At Shang Hongxing's confused eyes, Lu Yalan explained: "Your words just now reminded me that the punishment given by the old lady is too light, and the second aunt must hold her breath, and when we go back, we may have to make trouble again." ”

"If I go home like this, everyone will know that I didn't have a good time during this time, washing my face with tears all day long, plus being thrown into a waterhole by Li Qiuling...... Come to think of it, my second aunt will be so miserable, and in this way, she should be in peace for a few days. ”

Hong Xing was depressed when she heard this: "I haven't gone home yet, I have to calculate this, I didn't think before, after a period of days when I didn't have to think about anything, I began to feel that we were really aggrieved." ”

Lu Yalan also sighed: "No way, your young lady wants money and no money, and she has to rely on others to live, she can't be compared to the second aunt who has been in business for a long time, and now people are swordsmen and I am fish and meat, I don't want to secretly get involved in other people's ways, so I have to think about it more." ”

The master and servant were stunned for a while, and Lu Yalan cheered up and urged Hongxing: "Go get the eggs, you don't have to leave today if you delay it like this." ”

"Hey!"
