The thirtieth round

Text: Chapter 30

In the middle of winter, in Shanghai, warmth is just an illusion of longing.

Yisheng tightened his coat and stood on the deck, looking at this familiar and unfamiliar city that he had grown up in since he was a child, and little by little his vision became clearer.

Hometown timidity.

She didn't have much luggage, just a suitcase with her, she was in too much hurry, too many things had time to pack, and she really couldn't care about those trivial things.

In fact, he wrote the letter first, but he couldn't wait for the distant echo of the true and the false, and it was too far away, everything was false, only his own eyes and ears would not deceive people.

Now, those who are afraid of her will come before the letter.

hired a rickshaw at the wharf, and the coachman saw that it was a fashionably dressed lady who wanted to take the car and went to the Sheng Mansion, so he refused to say the price, but just let Yisheng get into the car with a smile on his face, saying that the young lady looked suitable and rewarded a few dollars for hard work.

Yisheng didn't say much, hurt the car, the coachman pulled the car away, and flattered him, hoping that the guests would be in a good mood and enjoy more for a while. ”“

"Miss is coming back from abroad, right? You can see from your demeanor that she is full of fashion and style!"

Yisheng casually said "um", and didn't have the heart to deal with him.

The coachman didn't mind at all, and said to himself: "Miss is going to the Sheng Mansion, she is here to participate in the happy event of the second miss of the Sheng family, right? The young master of the Ji family is really a blessing to be able to marry a fairy-like beauty like Miss Sheng Er."

"Park, park!"

The coachman was shocked when he was suddenly interrupted by Yisheng, and he couldn't understand why this beautiful and fashionable young lady suddenly became emotional, could it be that everyone couldn't hear praise for the beauty of other women?

Yisheng didn't have time to pay attention to his nagging, took out the money from his coat pocket and put it on the saddle, and didn't wait for him to find it, so he got off the car and walked forward with his luggage.

"Hey, miss, this hasn't arrived yet, why did you come down?" the coachman came to his senses, and pulled the cart after him.

"I'm not happy to sit down, don't follow me, okay?"

Yisheng walked forward with her suitcase as she spoke, as if the more she walked, the more she could leave behind the words and facts she didn't want to accept.

I walked to the door in one breath, and I was already tired and out of breath.

The concierge was an old man from the past, and when he saw that it was her, he was surprised, but he came up very much to take the luggage in her hand, "Third Miss, why did you come back suddenly, and you didn't give a letter, so that the driver could pick you up!"

She didn't answer, she walked straight inside, and asked as she went, "Where's Dad, what about the second sister-"

At this point, she suddenly paused, and she looked at the renovated and furnished room, and there was a joyful atmosphere everywhere.

"The master went to the office, and the wife took the second miss to the Ji Mansion, the third miss, do you want to call them?" The messenger who helped Yisheng carry the luggage looked at the young lady's face getting worse and worse, and asked carefully.

Before Yisheng could speak, she saw Bai Cuiyin's figure at the staircase on the second floor, she obviously heard the sound and rushed out to see, and at this moment she and Yisheng took a look, and each other was stunned.

"It's really you, you rushed back all the way, but unfortunately you can only run empty," Bai Cuiyin smiled, and deliberately fanned the handkerchief in his hand, "Hey, look at what I said, you can stay for a while, and when the New Year is over, the spring is warm, and your sister and Ji Huan's marriage is finished before leaving, so you can't run away." ”

Yisheng looked at her coldly and didn't speak.

And Bai Cuiyin was obviously in a good mood, so she didn't bother with her, and still smiled slowly and said: "What are you staring at me for?" What I said is the truth, you are also very powerful, your father doesn't let the family tell you the news, you still know." However, I have to tell the truth again, even if you rush back and want to turn the tide, I'm afraid you can't do it - you haven't seen Ji Huan treat your sister like you, that kind of gentleness and thoughtfulness, tsk, really envy others! The two elders of the Ji family are very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, his family is a family, but he is also willing to follow your aunt's wishes and follow the old rites, especially Mrs. Ji, who has already regarded your sister as a daughter-in-law, where is it like a daughter-in-law who has not passed the door? No, I got some silk from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and I also sent it over to make clothes for your sister, and your aunt brought her to the Ji family to thank you. ”

Yisheng took a deep breath, didn't pay attention to her, and walked straight upstairs to Yizheng's room, and Bai Cuiyin didn't stop her, just followed her idly.

She knocked on the door twice, but no one answered, but Bai Cuiyin reached behind and opened the door for her, "I said that your sister is not there, but I think if you want to visit her room, she won't mind, her kind of joy, I wish everyone in the world would share it with her." ”

Yisheng's sister's room is no stranger, but at this moment, the originally spacious room is a lot more crowded because of the gold-sprinkled red suitcase stuffed with nine songs.

The copper lock on the suitcase was shining, and Bai Cuiyin smiled: "I don't have a key, you have to look at these treasures, but you have to wait for your sister to come back, they are all gifts from your in-laws, what real gold bracelets, gemstone rings, very generous, this is just a gift given at that time, and when it comes to getting married, maybe there are still many treasures!"

She saw that Yisheng didn't say a word, but her eyes kept lingering on these boxes, and she was smiling happily at the moment, "It's a pity that the Ji family is a family, and Ji Huan is in love with your sister, and he will never please his aunt's wife, it seems that you can't touch the Jin Shan of the Ji family in any way, otherwise you can follow your mother's old path, what a good thing, it's a pity." ”

Yisheng suddenly raised her eyes to look at Bai Cuiyin, and repeatedly backed down and told herself not to pay attention to it, but she was aggressive, and when she was upset, she shouldn't mention her mother.

The sudden brilliance in her eyes made Bai Cuiyin secretly startled, seeing that Yisheng, who was still a little pitiful just now, actually smiled at her at this moment, although she didn't move, but there was an awe-inspiring bearing around her that made her involuntarily take two steps back, and then heard Yisheng's laughing voice sound-

"Hire is a concubine for his wife, when my father and mother signed a marriage letter with each other, promising to never abandon each other, the marriage book is still in my father's bedroom, Aunt Yin has not been able to have it, and it is good to meet it. However, you probably don't care, I see that you have done a good job of being small with people, even if for many years, Dad would rather look at your mother's photos than pay attention to you, even if all the formal occasions over the years, Dad has always brought Aunt Ling to attend but never your share, I think you are still happy. As long as you don't have to worry about food and clothing with the Sheng family's gold mountain, what else is there to care about, isn't it?"

"Shut up for me!" Bai Cuiyin was furious, and slapped Yisheng towards him.

Yisheng was already on guard when she spoke, how could she be hit by her? She slammed off her hand and approached her step by step, "The person who should stop talking is you, I look at my father's face, I have always respected you as an elder and don't care about you, but don't forget, my surname is Sheng, this house is also surnamed Sheng, you are just a play that your father bought with money, in the past, when we sat down to eat, you didn't even have the qualifications to stand at the table, and now it's the Republic of China, you are blessed, but no matter how it is your turn to be here to shout to me!" If you dare to mention my mother again, don't blame me for being rude!"

After she finished speaking, she brushed her sleeves away, but Bai Cuiyin was stunned by Sheng Yisheng, who she had never seen, and came back to her senses for a while, so angry that her hands and feet were cold.

wanted to chase it out, but when she thought of Yi Shenggang's Ling Ran look, she was a little scared, aside from this girl's heart, she probably couldn't do anything if she was in a hurry, she knew how much her husband doted on her.

However, she couldn't swallow her breath and couldn't swallow this breath, her heart burned for a while, and she trembled, but it happened that a messenger was carrying Yisheng's box outside the door and asked, "Second aunt, where is the third lady, is her luggage still in the original house?"

When Bai Cuiyin heard the words "Mrs. Aunt" at this moment, she only felt that there was an indescribable harshness, and she came to ask Yisheng again, she was angry, and grabbed the teacup on the table and smashed it, "Die, what do you ask me to do about her?"

The messenger was so frightened that he ran away, and Bai Cuiyin paced back and forth in the room alone, gritting his silver teeth with hatred, and thousands of thoughts flashed, but he finally showed a sneer.

I can't cure you, there is always someone who can.

She straightened her head and clothes, and walked downstairs slowly to tell the messenger, "Go to the Ji Mansion and tell Mrs. Ji to buy some venison from the kitchen, and make a pill soup with winter bamboo shoots, Young Master Ji likes it, you can ask Mrs. Ji and Young Master to come over together." ”
