Chapter 31
"My young lady, why did you come back without making a sound, let me see, have you lost weight?
Wu's mother hugged Yisheng with tears in her eyes, and Yisheng kept holding back her tears and fell. ()
"Mother Wu, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, why did everything change when I came back this time? What is the matter between the second sister and Brother Ji Huan? Why has no one ever told me? And Dad, does he agree? Aunt Yin said that he didn't let people tell me, but I don't believe it, Dad loves me so much, he won't treat me like this. ”
Mother Wu looked at the pale face of this child who had been brought up since childhood, and her black and white eyes were full of sadness and helplessness, she still refused to believe it, her heart was sour, she wiped her tears with the back of her hand, but she hardened her heart and said: "Not long after Young Master Ji returned to China, he was engaged to your sister, good young lady, they are all about to get married, it is useless for you to think about it, besides, there are many good young men in this world, and the master will definitely help you choose a good family." ”
"It's all true, he really wants to marry his sister, and my father really won't let me know," Yisheng lowered his head, and his long eyelashes cast a heavy shadow under her eyes, "Find another good person, is this what he said?" But since he will hide it from me, how can he not know, all I want is Brother Ji Huan, only him. ”
She stood up suddenly, which startled Wu's mother, and hurriedly stretched out her hand to grab her, "Where are you going, I heard that you had a quarrel with your second aunt as soon as you entered the house, why bother?"
"Don't worry, I'm not going to trouble her, it's just that she wants to see me cry, and I won't let her be satisfied. ”
She knew at a very young age that tears in front of those who love you are pearls, the most powerful weapon in the world, and in the eyes of others, they are just a joke, showing their pitifulness.
"Then where are you going?" asked Wu's mother.
Yisheng looked down at his toes, and after a while, he said softly: "I'll go find him." ”
"I won't let you go!" Mother Wu grabbed her tightly, "Miss, I know you like Young Master Ji, but he is about to marry your sister, what can you change if you look for him? If your mother is still here, she will never let you go, you are a dignified golden branch and jade leaf, I will never let you put yourself in such an unbearable situation---- that is your future brother-in-law, what will outsiders say about you, have you thought about it?"
Yisheng still lowered his head, and after a while, he gently kicked it with his toes, and then slowly curved a small arc on the side of his lips, "Mother Wu, have you seen it?"
Mother Wu followed her line of sight, empty, and was stunned for a moment, "What do you see?"
"My heart," she said, looking up, smiling slightly, but with an indescribable sadness, "it fell to the ground, dripping with blood, broken into several pieces, but it was still jumping, and it refused to die." ”
"Why are you so dead-eyed, kid?" Wu's mother was distressed and angry, and she was not angry.
Yisheng shook his head, "Mother Wu, you know, I have liked him since I was a child, I only like him alone, when I was in France, everything was so good, why did everything change as soon as I returned to China?"
Wu's mother wiped her tears and sighed, and Yisheng slowly reached out to shake her hand, and the firm light in her eyes gradually showed that she had persuaded herself, "So, I'm going to go to him, I'm going to ask him personally, I don't believe that he is such a person, he can get engaged to his sister on the one hand, and write to me on the other hand." Whatever the truth is, I want him to tell me in person.
After she finished speaking, she got up and walked out, and Mother Wu was about to chase after her, so she opened her mouth, but she still sat back in a daze.
Her young lady, after all, is still too young, but it's okay like this, without a trench, without growing wise, the process of growing up is always accompanied by pain, no matter what, she accompanies her to survive, that is.
Yisheng went out all the way, and of the three cars in the family, two were driven away by his father and brother, and the remaining one also sent Mrs. Sheng and Yizheng to the Ji Mansion, she didn't have time to wait, took a few steps and called a rickshaw, and went straight to Ji's house.
The concierge of the Ji family is a newcomer who has just been replaced, and he doesn't recognize her, I heard that it is Miss Sheng Family, I still wonder, this future young grandmother is not in the upper room with his wife, another young lady of the Sheng family heard that she went to the sea again, and the one in front of me, I don't know who it is? Could it be that the third lady who went abroad is back? I haven't heard of it!
However, seeing that her clothes and manners were very fashionable, she didn't dare to be careless at the moment, so she asked the messenger to introduce Yisheng into the guest room all the way, while calling an old mother to go to the room to return.
The old mother arrived at Mrs. Ji's room and smiled, "Madam, there is a young lady waiting in the guest room, saying that her surname is Sheng, and she came to find the young master, isn't the young master working in the study, and we don't dare to disturb without permission, so if you come to invite you, do you go down to see it, or go to invite the young master?"
Mrs. Ji smiled: "Mama Li, you are old and confused, Miss Sheng is not sitting here, where is Miss Sheng." ”
The old mother also smiled, "It was Zhaogui who asked me to come and talk back to you, I didn't see it, no, Miss Sheng is sitting here, Miss Sheng is going abroad, where is Miss Sheng, I'll take a look." ”
Mrs. Ji smiled and didn't care, and said, "Go, you don't have to invite the young master, the young master is not allowed to be disturbed when he is on business, and it is expected that there is nothing to leave a word to send her away." ”
The old mother went down, Mrs. Ji didn't care, and Yizheng just sat silently, but Mrs. Sheng's heart moved, and her brows frowned slightly.
But it happened to be seen by Mrs. Ji, and she was mistaken, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Don't you misunderstand, I think it's Mu Huan's girlfriend from where, there is no such thing, this child is the same as his father, he is busy with business all day long, except for Yizheng, he has never had any other girlfriends." ”
Mrs. Sheng said with a smile: "You can't say it too early, the one who came here may have something to do with us and Mu Huan, wait and see, I'm afraid that when you see her, you won't be satisfied with us, this is also possible." ”
Mrs. Ji was puzzled, and when she heard this last sentence, she hurriedly said, "Look what you are talking about, I can't find a daughter-in-law like Yizheng with a lantern, what else is there to find fault with? ”
Mrs. Sheng listened, but smiled silently.
The two wives were chatting in the upper room, and the old mother had already come out all the way to the guest room, and saw a fashionable girl sitting on the sofa from a distance, which seemed to be a little familiar.
When I got closer, I couldn't help but cry out with an "oops", and said with a smile: "Isn't this Miss Sheng San?" Just now, my wife was still talking, I don't know where Miss Sheng came from, but I didn't expect you to come back? I'll lead you over! I haven't seen you in the past few years, and I can't even recognize it when it's so beautiful!"
Yisheng hurriedly stood up and said, "Don't bother, I'm looking for Brother Ji Huan, is he here?"
The old mother smiled and said, "The young master is working in the study, we don't dare to disturb him, Third Miss, I'll take you to the wife's house first, the wife and young lady in your house happen to be there, it will definitely surprise them!"
As he spoke, he diligently led the way.
Yisheng followed behind her, originally she had been in the Ji family since she was a child, and she had already become familiar with it, but now the whole house is like her own home, and it is also renovated and dressed up, and it has a festive atmosphere.
And every time she came in the past, why did she need someone to lead the report, his study may not be allowed to trespass for others, but that person never included her, every time she entered, he didn't even raise her head and called out her name, she asked, how do you know it's mine, he smiled, and said, except for you, no one dares to break into my study.
Thinking about it, I can't help but feel sad, everything is different, things are wrong.
She wanted to find it herself, but in the end she was at someone else's house, and she returned suddenly after many years, and it was such an unclear situation, she really had no position to go on a rampage here again.
When she wanted to go back, she was unwilling, and besides, the old mother had already enthusiastically led the way, she thought that she could see her sister, and she could wait for him to come out, so she stopped making a noise at the moment, and just walked behind her.
"Madam, look who's coming. The old mother said happily.
When Mrs. Ji saw it, she immediately let out a "pop" in her heart, and then went to look at Mrs. Sheng, only to see that she looked calm and relaxed, so she understood why she said something like that.
Before he could speak, he saw Yizheng beside him suddenly stand up and pounce over, holding his sister's hand tightly, "Xiaosheng? It's really you? It's really you!"
She was so excited that she couldn't even speak, pulling her sister up and down, hugging and kissing, crying and laughing, that kind of excitement and joy can't be described in words.
And Yisheng just hugged her sister, and the sisters' tears fell together.
Mrs. Sheng looked at it coldly, but she didn't say anything to stop it, and after a while, she smiled and said: "Yizheng, okay, okay, this is still in front of Aunt Ji, look at your laughter and tears, what is it like? I know that you miss Yisheng all day long, and now that she is back, it is not at this moment for you two sisters to meet and catch up, don't make people laugh." ”
Yizheng was a little embarrassed, took his sister's hand and walked in, but he was reluctant to let go, and Yisheng was also reluctant to let go of his sister's hand, just wiped his tears, and stepped forward to call, "Aunt Ling, Aunt Ji." ”
After taking a seat, the servant brought the tea, and as soon as Yisheng thanked him, he heard Mrs. Sheng ask lightly: "When did you come back, why didn't you send a letter home?"
Yisheng said lightly: "I just arrived today." ”
Mrs. Sheng asked again, "Come to you Brother Ji Huan?"
Yisheng said "um" softly and said no more.
So Mrs. Sheng laughed and said to Mrs. Sheng: "I rushed over as soon as I came back, this friendship is not something ordinary people can have, so you should quickly ask Mu Huan to come out." ”
Mrs. Ji didn't like Yisheng in the first place, and when she heard Mrs. Sheng's words with unclear meaning, she immediately said without pain: "No one is allowed to disturb that kid when he is working, and I didn't even call Yizheng when he came, so why bother now, just wait for a while." ”
So Mrs. Sheng smiled, and led the topic to Yisheng's overseas affairs, and asked Yisheng a few questions in a row, although Yisheng vaguely guessed her intentions, but in this situation, in front of Mrs. Ji, one hand was held by her sister lovingly, so she could only try to restrain her emotions and answer obediently.
Sheng Tai seemed to be satisfied, and after asking for a while, he smiled at Yizheng and said, "Look at your sister, you have learned so many things and come back, but unlike you, you don't understand anything, this is comparable." ”
Yizheng was honest, and when he heard his mother praise his sister, he was not angry at all, shook his sister's hand, and just smiled.
Mrs. Sheng sighed in her heart, but she only smiled on her face, "It's good that you have made a promise, otherwise I wouldn't have to die of worry, but in the future, your mother-in-law will have to worry about it, and she will have to teach you everything." ”
While saying this, he turned to Mrs. Ji and smiled, "I didn't think it was this comparison, only to realize that we don't understand anything, and we haven't seen the world, so you have to bother!"
When Mrs. Ji heard this, how could she still not make a sound, she immediately sat down beside Yizheng in the aisle, and shook her hand affectionately, "I have said a long time ago, I can have Yizheng as a daughter-in-law, it is a blessing from the previous life! In fact, girls, learn so many things and do what to do, the most important thing is to be able to manage the house, teach their husbands and children, serve their in-laws, and control their subordinates, this is enough! I look at these, no one can do better than Yizheng!"
Yizheng blushed, hung his head, and refused to speak again.
And Mrs. Ji smiled and continued: "Now that the atmosphere has changed, everyone wants to go to school, and both men and women regard going abroad as fashionable. The boy is fine, and he should see the world, but the girl's family, when he comes back from school, he is not the same as finding someone to marry, and the things he learns are not the same useless, in my opinion, the money is wasted, and the heart is wild, and the gains outweigh the losses."
"What do you say, I can hear you talking here from afar. ”
Before Mrs. Ji finished speaking, she was interrupted by a man's voice, she quickly stood up and greeted her with a smile, "Mu Huan is here, you are really, Yizheng has been waiting for you for a long time." ”
Ji Huan glanced at her lightly, although he was smiling, but there was no trace of temperature in his eyes.
