For the next whole day, Gu Qingwei almost drifted past. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Because she was sure that it was a dream, she cherished every moment after that, and she was afraid that she would wake up from the dream.
It was the early morning of spring, Gu Qingwei was groomed under the service of the maids, and breakfast was put on the table, but she walked out without even looking at it.
The maids in the house were stunned, and Qiu Lan, who reacted the fastest, hurriedly caught up, "Girl, you forgot, you haven't slept well these days, and the old lady specially told you not to get up early to say hello." ā
Gu Qingwei paused.
In my long memory, there seems to be such an event.
When she was nine years old, she went to Qingliang Temple, a famous ancient temple in Qinghe County, with her second aunt to incense, Gu Qingwei, who has not respected God and Buddha since she was a child, just wanted to find a chance to go out to play, how could she have any sincerity to pray to God and worship Buddha, and later she knocked down the incense burner in front of the Bodhisattva when she was playing with Gu Qinghua, the fourth sister of the second aunt.
Since returning from Qingliang Temple, Gu Qingwei has been unable to sleep steadily for several nights, and he was even more frightened by those terrible nightmares that he didn't dare to leave people at night.
So, in this dream, she's only nine years old now?
After only a moment's pause, Gu Qingwei walked out again, "Then I'll go find my mother and have breakfast with my mother." ā
Qiu Lan hurried to catch up again, and said in a loud voice: "Girl, the eldest lady told you yesterday that she was going to Qingliang Temple early this morning to make amends to the Bodhisattva for the girl." ā
Gu Qingwei completely stopped at this time.
By the way, it is exactly like this, after his mother went to Qingliang Temple to make amends, somehow, Gu Qingwei was able to wake up to the dawn, and there were no terrible nightmares with him.
This matter is also miraculous, although it still still makes Gu Qingwei believe in the gods and Buddhas from then on, but the women of the Gu family who know are convinced that the incense of Qingliang Temple is effective, and they have donated incense and silver to Qingliang Temple since then.
At that time, the young Gu Qingwei had complained about the Bodhisattva of Qingliang Temple, and the Bodhisattva also knew that he had made a windfall through her, and this kind of remark also made her mother reprimand her.
Thinking about this, Gu Qingwei's expression was a little sad.
Married in the capital for decades, Gu Qingwei is most concerned about her mother, who loves her to the bone, and I don't know if my mother has not seen her face these years, so she can only understand her situation through letters, and whether she will secretly cry at those letters again.
Partial birth, Qingliang Temple is outside Qinghe County, and she has to come back in the afternoon to make incense or something, and she can't see her mother for a while.
I finally have such a vivid dream, what if I wake up without waiting for my mother to come back?
Dejectedly, she followed Qiu Lan back to the house, and her own little maid brought breakfast to Gu Qingwei.
Boiled fragrant and soft glutinous green stem porridge, a plate of shrimp dumplings, a plate of golden silk jade rolls, a plate of crisp cheese sprinkled with frosting, three or two refreshing side dishes, plus a bowl of goat's milk.
The number of samples is not small, but the amount of each plate is not much.
Before the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Qinghe Gu family was a veritable hairpin family, and the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food, but the Gu family has always had a rigorous family style, and the daily luxury of the owners of each house is not extravagant and wasteful.
Because of something in her heart, Gu Qingwei didn't use much for breakfast, and because of the habits she had formed over the years, she didn't touch the two plates of dim sum, and brought one dish to Qiu Lan, and the other plate was rewarded to a few other little maids.
The little maids are all the same age as Gu Qingwei at the moment, although the meals on weekdays are much better than ordinary people's, but the master's food is not often available for the opportunity to eat, not to mention this kind of exquisite snack specially ordered by the eldest lady to make for the seventh girl, and at this time, after receiving Gu Qingwei's reward, they all immediately showed a smile.
With Gu Qingwei's current age, he is already a little more tolerant of his children, and if these little maids are his grandchildren, of course he won't blame them for not knowing the rules.
It was Qiu Lan, who got the plate of golden silk jade rolls, and did not eat it immediately, but secretly looked at Gu Qing in the future with some suspicion with the plate.
She has been waiting by the side of the seventh girl for a few years, although the seventh girl was taught by the eldest lady to be chaste and dignified at all times, but in private her temperament is actually extremely lively, why did she wake up this time, but she looked silent a lot?
Although the seventh girl now has a little bit of the majesty of the eldest lady, but something is wrong in the end, when the eldest lady comes back from Qingliang Temple, she has to talk to the eldest lady.
Because Gu Qingwei was sick at this time, she had nothing to do after eating, and she only wanted to wait for her mother to come back, so she was not interested in leaving the yard, so she ordered the maids to go to the yard to play, and she was locked in the room in a daze.
Later, Gu Qinghua, the fourth sister who went to Qingliang Temple with her, and Gu Qingrong, the fifth sister of the third room, came to visit her, thinking that her mother didn't know when she would be able to come back, Gu Qingwei was a little perfunctory between her words, but fortunately, Gu Qinghua and Gu Qingrong knew that she was sick these days, and they didn't pick on her, so they sat down and went back.
It was easy to stay up until lunch, Gu Qingwei looked out of the courtyard gate almost restlessly, and every quarter of an hour he sent his mother-in-law to the second gate to ask if the eldest lady was back.
The lady in charge of the Gu family's long house, Qin, had just entered the Hanging Flower Gate, and she knew from the mother-in-law who was guarding there that the seventh girl had been anxious to see her since lunch.
His eyebrows were slightly twisted, and the Qin family, who was comfortable with the complicated affairs in the house, was a little anxious in his heart.
There is no concubine room in the Gu family's long house, the four sons and one daughter are all concubines, and the Qin family gave birth to four children in a row to get such a baby girl, even if she has always been strict with her for the future of her daughter, but how can she not feel distressed.
Especially Gu Qingwei has been ill for the past few days, for fear that his daughter's situation will change, the Qin family forgot to maintain his demeanor in a hurry, and almost trotted all the way to Gu Qingwei's unclear residence.
Rushing into the house, the Qin clan saw Gu Qingwei with a little more light on his face.
"Sister Huan, but what's wrong with your body?"
While talking, Qin's rather majestic Danfeng eyes swept up and down Gu Qingwei's body, and only then did he relax a little when he didn't find anything wrong.
Then he asked why Gu Qingwei sent his mother-in-law to guard the second gate, "Sister Huan is in a hurry to see her mother, what's the matter?"
Seeing his mother who gave birth to him again after forty years, under the agitation in his heart, Gu Qingwei only called "mother" in a trembling voice, his throat was like being blocked by cotton, and he only choked up and couldn't speak.
Qin was taken aback.
She knows her daughter the best, although her temperament is a little jumpy, but she is the most tenacious, she has never shed tears since she was three years old, but now when she sees herself, she shows this aggrieved look.
Qin's face sank, and he hugged Gu Qingwei into his arms, patted her on the back, and comforted her softly: "But someone is bullying Sister Huan while her mother is away, Sister Huan said that if she listens to her mother, she will make trouble with the old lady, and her mother will never let Sister Huan be angry in vain." ā
As soon as Gu Qingwei heard this, the tears that were still hanging on his eyelashes suddenly fell in strings.
This is her mother, Su Ri presides over the most fair and filial old lady in the house, but once it comes to a few children, she can become a lioness who protects her cubs, and shows her sharp claws at people.
Thinking of the forty years in the Dingguo Mansion, Gu Qingwei hugged Qin's waist tightly and cried bitterly with a "wow".
"Mother, Mother......"
