Chapter 69: Filial Son
Early the next morning, before dawn, Ye Wenxin sat up and urged her to wash, and Qiong Ying also persuaded her: "The girl should sleep for a while, Mrs. Gu still has to go to the old lady's yard for morning class, and she can only go to the room after noon." โ
Ye Wenxin didn't agree to her, only looked out the window and said, "Who is lighting the stove at this time?" Through the window, I saw a little girl in Tsing Yi on the side of the bamboo path, Qiong Ying stretched out her head to look at it and smiled: "It's the girl's newly accepted disciple, I'm afraid I'm cooking disciple's tea at this time." โ
Shi Gui wrote three big characters yesterday, and really took "Thousand Character Text" back, Ye Wenxin taught ten sentences, she not only read these ten sentences and recognized them, but also wrote them all once.
September saw her lying on the bed with her fingers still writing on the quilt, and laughed out loud, shaking the quilt while saying, "Do you really want to be a female champion?" Seeing that she was literate and enchanted, she was surprised, Ye Wenxin was already weird, and it was also strange to come to Shi Gui, and he also worshiped the master and apprentice, and the monsters all got together.
The meaning of these sentences is simple, Shi Gui will memorize it after reading it twice, this opportunity is not easy to come by, she cherishes it very much, even if she grasps it in her hands, she can't let it go in vain, whether Ye Wenxin really wants to teach or not, she has to do enough work on this head, so she got up early to cook disciple tea and give it to Ye Wenxin.
It's still pine firewood, but it's spring water, Ye Wenxin is cooking tea here, the process is about ten steps, and the utensils are held out about thirty kinds, and the tea is eaten, these things have to be washed and wiped, just to boil a cup of tea, from the sky to the beginning of the red sun.
These things are all precious, the cup is a peach blossom snow cave cup, even the small tea fan is silky, the red of the concubine is faintly transparent, and it looks inconspicuous.
Shi Gui got up early in the morning to make tea, and when Ye Wenxin got up, the water was boiling, the tea was grinding, the tea cup was resting in the tray and sent to Ye Wenxin, she just rinsed her mouth, spit out the flower dew into the small silver bowl, drank a sip of tea and nodded, and looked at Shi Gui with her eyes.
Qiong Ying Yuxu has been with her for four or five years, but she is still the eyes and ears of Feng's mother, she knows everything here Feng's mother knows clearly, there is no useful person around her, Shi Gui is smart, and he can be regarded as a usable person, but he doesn't know whether he is loyal or not.
Hair up, put on a homely old clothes, put on woolen sleepshoes embroidered with bamboo on green bottoms, ate tea, smoked Shi Gui on the Luohan bed to endorse the book, listened to her open her mouth and did it in one go, didn't say half a word, nodded, and casually went out of the makeup with an eyebrow pencil, wrote on the white silk, and asked her which is which.
Shi Gui naturally knew everything, but he still deliberately said three wrong out of ten, that is, it was not easy to remember seven, Ye Wen didn't expect her to recognize it so quickly, and threw the veil over: "You have talent here." โ
He didn't go to the West Chamber, but he sat next to the Luohan couch and told her the last ten sentences, one sentence at a time, with allusions or quotations, and seven or eight words for a while.
It was Qiong Ying who interrupted her: "The girl will eat first, this disciple has eaten tea, and there is no need to teach immediately." "The meal box outside has been carried over, it is still porridge and vegetables, but there are a few things that can be sent to porridge, goose fat shortbread and three Ding siu mai, magnolia slices Xuancheng vegetarian ham cut thinly and placed in a glass dish.
Shi Gui heard Liuzhu say that Ye Wenxin ate more delicately at home, and proudly told Shi Gui: "The eggs that our girls eat are also particular, specially asked to be raised, and eat qi-nourishing herbs, the eggs born by this chicken are different, and the slaughtered stew soup is more and more replenishing." โ
This chicken is Ye's brother for his mother to eat, Mrs. Ye loves Ye Wenxin, she was born weaker than others, even Shen's is also a loss of vitality, the body has always been bad, spring cough, summer summer, autumn dry and winter cold, the first season always has to give birth to a disease, hard to give birth to a daughter and a son, Mrs. Ye not only pulled Shen to nourish her body, but also left eggs for Ye Wenxin to eat, a bowl of milk eggs a day, she was extra white and tender.
"Our wife slipped in her early years and fell ill, this thing, even the old man himself didn't eat it, it was specially for the old lady and the girl to eat, our master is really a filial son. "Master Ye is well-known for his filial piety in serving his mother, he tasted medicine before the sickbed, because his mother was seriously ill, and he didn't know how much sesame oil and incense money he gave in the city, and he also gave porridge and rice to the poor, sick and widowed.
These gossip, when he pricked the needle to do the work, it leaked out of his mouth a little bit, Shi Gui listened to it, but he was speechless, and he was so particular about drafting, how many ginseng and poria did the chicken have to eat.
During these two lectures, Qiong Ying retreated to the outside of the flying cover door, Shi Gui sat on the small pestle, Ye Wen was absent-minded, and said without a word, Shi Gui couldn't wait to take notes with the strength to listen to the lecture.
The thousand-character text is only for children's enlightenment, and the things in it are not difficult, Shi Gui listened to more than half of it in the afternoon, and a pot of honey water is called exhausted.
Ye Wenxin also deliberately gave herself something to do, people seemed to be floating in the sky, and there was no place next to her to tell her to be steady, thinking about the attitude of this unmasked aunt, her heart couldn't stop trembling.
After lunch, and after a short rest, Ye Wenxin got up and changed into a silver and white embroidered primrose collar with a white silk skirt, a white silk skirt, two plum blossom hairpins on his head, dressed lightly, and a silk flower fan in his hand: "You don't have to follow these many people, I remember that you are from your aunt's house, just follow me." โ
Qiong Ying was embarrassed, and leaned forward and said, "Where is this, you can't lose your dignity." Ye Wenxin also knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he took Qiong Ying and Shi Gui with him, and found a burden from the box, Shi Gui followed behind, all the way to the Mandarin Duck Pavilion.
Ye Wenxin stood in front of the Mandarin Duck Pavilion, looked up at the word Mandarin Duck written on it, took Qiong Ying's hand and went in, it had been reported early, Chunyan came out to greet her, her eyes swept to Shi Gui, and her smile deepened: "My cousin is here, our wife has been waiting for a long time." โ
Saying that, the curtain was opened to welcome Ye Wenxin in, it was Zhang Luo tea and Zhang Luo dim sum, Shi Gui waited under the corridor, and after thinking about it all night, he was still ready to hide this matter.
Just like Ye Wenxin couldn't guess whether the Ye family would help out, Shi Gui didn't know what the Ye family's attitude was, how could the strength of taking care of a niece flower be compared with the strength of hindering her from entering the palace, not to mention that the Ye family was so sure that in addition to the Song family, there was also a place next to the Song family that could make strength.
The Ye family wants to object, in addition to his own brother, there are also Old Lady Song and Old Lady Song, this matter is too deeply involved, Shi Gui had better pretend that it has never happened.
Shi Guili was thinking about it under the corridor, Chunyan came out of the hall, followed by Qiong Ying, Chunyan took Qiong Ying's hand: "Too many of our young people have never shed tears, but they are also homesick when they see their niece and nephew." โ
Shi Gui was slightly stunned, the Ye family actually cried, that incident was a drama, she didn't know Ye Wenxin well, but she was also happy for her, just looking at the actions of the Ye family, she still didn't enter the palace.
Qiong Ying pulled โกโก Yan outside: "Ask their aunts and nephews to talk about their private affairs, let's also bask in the sun under the porch, and it will be cold in the future, but there will be no such good days." โ
Sitting under the corridor, there is a little girl who comes to deliver tea and snacks, Shi Gui has only walked for half a month, and another green orchid blooms under the corridor, Qiong Ying pointed to the flower and smiled: "Our wife also loves to plant this under the corridor." โ
Chunyan didn't think about asking Shi Gui what to do immediately, Shi Gui just came to report, where can he meet something in a day, sat down and gossiped with Qiong Ying, carefully asked Ye Wen what he likes to eat and drink, and talked about Jinling customs, many of which are different from Yangzhou.
Qiong Ying only thought that this aunt was an ice and snow man, and seeing that she was still thinking about her relatives, she breathed a sigh of relief in the end, and told Chunyan what Ye Wenxin loved to eat: "Our girl likes to eat but doesn't like heavy taste, she eats lightly, eats a lot of chickens, ducks and fish, and eats some roe deer and roe deer venison in winter." โ
Chunyan asked Ye Wen what she liked to wear, and she wanted to take satin to make some clothes for her: "It's a coincidence, the two girls in the family also want to make new clothes, I see that the cousin girl likes light colors, just like our wife, only the old lady likes to see the juniors wear red, and then it is the New Year's Festival, do you want to cut a red one." โ
This is through Qiong Ying to tell Ye Wenxin, this is also right, when you go to someone else's house, you can do whatever you want, although Ye is her own aunt, there are old ladies and old ladies above.
Chunyan said it tactfully, Qiong Ying naturally took it, saying that the family also had to wear red and gold during the New Year's Festival, Qiong Ying took it, but Chunyan was half distracted, she pulled Qiong Ying out, just to see that Ye Wen had something to say in front of people.
Over the years, in addition to her mother, there is only this sister-in-law, Chunyan swept her head into the window, and asked with a smile: "What kind of material does the cousin like to wear in winter? โ
Qiong Ying talked about it one by one, from fox skin to Xiangyun Leopard, and then said jewelry, the two have a match or not, Chunyan asked softly, but Qiong Ying couldn't help but look into the house: "There is no one inside, it can't be done." โ
Chunyan smiled: "Don't worry, our wife has always been worried about the girl's illness, and she didn't sleep a few nights ago." The two sentences dispelled Qiong Ying's concerns.
Shi Gui stood by the door, the inner room was quiet for a long time without sound, Ye and Ye Wenxin sat opposite each other for a long time, drank tea and ate snacks, Ye Wenxin's palms were sweaty, but Ye did not speak, she pinched the letter in her sleeve pocket, but she was not sure whether she should give it, what if she sued her father?
"Your mother, are you okay all these years?" Ye raised her head for a long time, looked at Ye Wenxin, and asked such a sentence, she already knew the news of Shen's serious illness, and sent someone to Yangzhou early in the morning to deliver medicine and send a letter.
If it weren't for her business, why didn't Shen lose a child, that child was already six months old, and he couldn't live if he landed, and Shen himself had been recuperating in bed for more than a year, how could he make up for the injury, and it was difficult to have children for many years, so it was easy to have this son and a daughter.
The Ye family has a child, and they also want to send red eggs to the Ye family, and it is easy to have Ye Wenxin, and the Shen family specially reported to her that they sent red dates, longan, lotus seeds, peanuts, and more than ten kinds of dried fruits, and two baskets of red eggs.
Ye Wenxin's heart trembled slightly, just such a sentence, she wanted to give out what she knew, Ye looked at her like this, making her eyes hot, and she almost cried, but she only had red eyes: "When I went out, my mother was seriously ill, and I don't know if it's better at this time." โ
Ye Shi looked at this niece and thought of herself, if she died at that time, and she was married to Siyuan in the underworld, where would there be these things later, she sighed slowly: "Sister-in-law's body has to be maintained, and she must not be injured again." โ
One more word, Ye Wenxin listened to it in his heart, "My mother always remembers my aunt, and the flowers and trees in front of my aunt's house bloom every year." "First of all, Mrs. Ye still remembered her daughter, this daughter suffered like this, more than half of it was planted on her by the family, how could her heart not hurt, Ye has been out for many years, and the furnishings and makeup in her embroidery building are still changed on time and on time.
When Mrs. Ye was gone, Xiaolou was locked up, all the things in it were emptied, and my father gave an order, saying that it had been many years, what could I do if I kept it?
The things in it are gone, but the peach blossom tree in the small courtyard is blooming and bearing fruit every year, the house is not cleaned, and the doors and windows of the small courtyard are closed, but the peach blossom tree is growing higher and higher, and the flower branches and partition walls are sticking out, looking in from the leaky window, and it is full of land.
After a few words, Ye Wenxin decided to take a gamble, she had no other way to go except to gamble, even if Ye refused, for the sake of her original feelings, she begged her not to write to her father, just if she didn't know about it.
She took out the letter from her sleeve pocket: "The clothes in this bag and this letter were handed over to me by Aunt Su when I was leaving, and I must hand it over to my aunt by hand." โ
Ye Shi stretched out his hand to take it, touched the envelope and looked up.
