Chapter 62: Guilu

Ye Wen's heart is mostly cured, her body is not uncomfortable, her heart is still uncomfortable, she knows that something is wrong, but she can't understand what is wrong, the pampered girl, where can she think of the side, just think that these girls are bullying her young, especially hateful is Mother Feng, relying on the person who was used by Mrs. Ye in front of her, the slave bully the master.

I felt aggrieved, although the illness was cured, I was still lazily lying on the bed and couldn't get up, and it was not the first time that those girls said that they had entered the palace, and even Feng's mother had said it many times on the boat, but she knew that it was not a good thing to enter the palace.

Mother was in a hurry for this, her mouth burned a circle of bubbles, and when she was so sick and dazed, she took her hand: "I mistook you, and I want to keep you for two more years before getting engaged, how do you know that there is such a disaster." "I choked up with tears, and I almost couldn't breathe.

When she went to serve the sick again, her mother would no longer have a sober moment, she cried and cried and begged, her younger brother did not take care of things, she was a daughter herself, and it was useless to beg for her father, and when she listened to these words, she would inevitably become suspicious.

She was lying on the bed and pretending to be sick, she had a headache and a hand ache, but she couldn't get up, and Feng's mother also relied on her and told SΓΉ Qiongying: "It's more relaxed than when the girl is at home." "They are all born to the Ye family, and the family is on an errand in the house, and Mother Feng has a way to manipulate them.

Ye Wenxin is not a foolish person, sitting quietly in front of the bed, these girls are afraid that she will be depressed, but it is not easy to make her happy, those books she loves are taken out and put away, she looks at them, but there is no smile on her face.

The pen and ink felt were all laid out, and I didn't see her move a stroke, a few girls couldn't, Ye Wenxin felt upset when he saw them carrying her back, and he didn't want them to guard, but transferred Shi Guijiu to wait.

It is also her who hands the tea and water with the previous hand, and she is also the one who runs errands and talks, there is no time to stop for a day, this day is six out of the tea, Shi Gui waits beside her, Ye Wenxin holds the scroll, sweeps his eyes and sighs twice in his heart, the books are scattered on the Luohan couch, Shi Gui stretches out his hand to sort it out, there are always miscellaneous things, just looking at the title of the book, I really don't know what is written in it.

Ye Wenxin looked out the window for a while, and saw Shi Gui rubbing the book: "What, do you want to be literate?" Shi Gui was startled, Ye Wenxin flattened his mouth and threw it aside, and asked her, "Is there a wooden tree in the garden?"

There is indeed a place in the garden where the osmanthus tree is planted, and there is a late osmanthus at this time, cut a branch to insert it in a bottle, and the whole room is fragrant, but what Ye Wenqing wants is not an osmanthus branch: "Tell someone to pick some and steam some wood and fragrant dew." ”

She opened her mouth, Qiong Ying was full of smiles, and cautiously replied: "There are so many flower dew in the cabinet, if you want to say that it should be in season, Jin Yinglu is good, it's late at this time, I'm afraid that it won't fit when it is steamed." ”

"Where do I want to drink, the house is full of medicinal smells, just steam a flower dew to change the taste. Ye Wenxin said this, Qiong Ying glanced at Shi Gui, Shi Gui hurriedly withdrew, walked to the door and heard Yu Su persuade: "Or use what we brought?"

In other words, she had to persuade her on weekdays, but Ye Wenxin threw the scroll and closed her eyes, Qiong Ying didn't say anything, and when she came out, she ordered: "Ming'er will go pick osmanthus early in the morning." ”

On the second morning, he had to get up before dawn, Shi Gui washed and got into the quilt, his hair was wet and he couldn't care about it, he took a towel to absorb the water, spread it on the pillow, and after a while, people fell asleep.

In September, the bed was finely broken and couldn't make a sound, her quilt was not as thick as Shi Gui's, and she couldn't sleep at night without pouring a soup woman, Shi Gui pulled the quilt to cover her face, her quilt was sent in the upper room, the same clothes and jewelry, the more you go up, the more different there is.

Speaking of the quilt alone, her cloth is thinner, and the cotton in it is softer, and she wants to talk to Shi Gui a few times in September, but that time she also knows Shi Gui's temper, and now her mother is talking about so much, Shi Gui must have listened to it, and she couldn't open her mouth anymore.

September easily finished making the bed, took off his clothes and sat on the edge of the bed, and opened his mouth for a long time: "Shi Gui, have you slept?"

In September, her eyes were red, but when Shi Gui deliberately ignored her, sniffed and shrank to the quilt, and sure enough, she called her mother to speak, and felt a little angry in her heart, she was brought up, but Shi Gui was called out of his wife's house, so he was more clever than her, and it was the same third-class here.

I wanted to show my face in front of Ye Wenqing, and I could get a lot of rewards, and the Ye family brought in those boxes, and everyone at the bottom could see them, but a girl who came to run for the election could have so many cages, and she couldn't lift them into the library.

In September, my uncle was on an errand in Jiangning's house, and the things of the Ye family were sent first, and they were counted, and the uncle poured yellow soup and counted his fingers: "It's not bad compared to the girl's dowry." ”

In this way, there must be fifty or sixty lifts, and in September, I looked at Shi Gui's account, and just wanted to tell her about it, but after all, the cousin girl only stayed for more than half a year, and they saved up some more rewards, and looked at the empty yard in the future, and then thought about it, how did they know that she still remembered the grudge, and simply closed her mouth and didn't tell her a word.

At dawn on the second day, I got up first in September, and then I wanted to open my mouth to call Shi Gui, and bit my lip again, quietly dressed up, took a comb through my hair, and wanted to wait for the six to get up, and then call Shi Gui.

Shi Gui is used to being vigilant, as soon as she heard the table and chairs touching lightly, she woke up in a daze, turned over and sat up and dressed with her eyes closed, and washed her face with her shoes on her shoes.

The peach Ruixiang next door also got up early, a few little girls took a small bamboo basket to the yard, and the backyard was paved with a stone flower path, the sun had not risen at this time, the dew wet the soles of the shoes, and a few girls walked slowly to prevent them from slippery.

Separated from the flower garden, I heard the sound of reading, and after the Muxi incense path is the backyard of Zhile Zhai, listening to this sound is Song Mian reading, Su Chen pouted his tongue, and said softly: "Which young master of the Song family is reading?"

Although I have only been here for a few days, I also know that the Song family's account is not clear, and I only heard the old lady mention the big house girl, but there is a second room in this house, so I asked.

It is morning reading, this hour is too early, Song Mian came to vote naked, except for the serious surname Song, there is no other reliance, a porridge, a meal, a needle and a thread are all from the Song family, except for the head, there is no second way to go.

Song Mian studied here, and in the future, he had to return to his hometown for the imperial examination, and if he did not excel in his studies, could he still rely on the Song family to succeed?

Shi Gui didn't care about the long and short, and nodded: "It looks like Young Master Tang is reading." Liuchu asked again what the origin of this young master was, she only shook her head: "It was the young master who was brought back when he returned to his hometown, and the master said that his articles were full of spirit, so he took him to study." ”

Su Chen glanced at each other, but got together with Shi Gui to pick flowers, and casually asked about Song Yintang: "Yes, next year is the year of Dabi, and the children who study are all full of energy to jump the dragon gate, and the young master will have to end this time, right?"

As soon as Shi Gui heard it, she knew that the Ye family didn't know that Song Yintang asked Old Lady Song to use the family method, so she missed the scientific examination, so she didn't mention it, and shook her head: "I just got selected, but I don't know if the young master will take the exam." ”

Su Chen didn't ask, and led a few girls to pick out the flowers behind the tree, and one of them carried a small bamboo basket with a round bottom, tied with red silk on it, and Su Chen pointed to a few evening laurels that bloomed just right: "Pick up this bouquet of flowers in many colors and pick it off, I missed the effort on the way, otherwise the girl should make some incense ball strings." ”

The flowers at the bottom are all over the golden yellow, the flowers on the top are difficult to pick, Shi Gui only picked two or three handfuls in half a day, how can this point be enough to steam the flower dew, pour the small basket into the bamboo basket covered with soft towels, shallow can bury a palm, but the osmanthus tree in this place can not be picked bare.

She carried the basket and went around the back, the flowers and trees planted along the path, the more she went inside, the more no one picked them, and as soon as she went in, she saw Song Mian sitting on the stone reading.

Shi Gui has a good impression of this young man, and dares to make a desperate bet to come and run, even if he has no way to return to his hometown, that time the old lady Song didn't take into account the brotherhood, and he couldn't take care of the brotherhood, the sacrificial field sacrificial vessel was originally something passed down from generation to generation, and the old lady Song took out the rent harvest of the sacrificial field for the children of the Song family to study, but the younger brother was greedy, he didn't come forward by himself, sent a long companion to deliver the letter, and scolded the younger brother fiercely.

Song Mian stabbed this matter in front of the old lady, that is, he returned to his hometown, and there was nowhere to stand, his father died and his mother died, in addition to this road, he could survive in a desperate situation, and there was indeed no other way to go.

Song Mian was dressed in green clothes, with his hands behind his back, he closed his eyes and memorized the book, and memorized it for a long time, and when he heard the sound of his ears being thin, he turned back with a smile: "Are you here?"

Shi Gui was hugging the basket, blinking his eyes, embarrassed, if something happened, it was hard to say, only knew that Song Mian was the same as her, the tips of his ears were burning red, and he didn't want to get in with a little girl, the two were speechless, Shi Gui didn't know how to say this, so he heard a soft "meow", and a big fat cat came in under the bushes.

The front paws lay forward on the ground, the fat buttocks were cocked, the tail was high and straight, stretched out, and shook the yellow hair all over the body, then ran towards Song Mian, circled his feet twice, rubbed his head against his legs, snorted twice in his throat, and then sat down and looked up at him.

Song Mian took out half a piece of bread from his sleeve, the cat lowered his head and ate it, the young man reached out and rubbed its head, it didn't move and touched it, and after eating half of it, it raised its head and meowed.

Shi Gui was stunned, and then he realized that the sentence "You are here" that Song Mian just said was not aimed at her, but about this colorful yellow civet.

The big yellow civet buried his head in eating the cake, and circled around Song Mian, and he didn't know where the wild cat came from, got into Song's house, basked in the sun here, and happened to meet Song Mian, one raw and two cooked, and the food cooked faster, Song Mian studied here every day, and it pinched a little and turned around, begging for something to eat.

Shi Gui heard half-eaten fish bones thrown by the pond in the courtyard, and there were a lot of wild cats in the courtyard, and the people who watched the garden had to catch a batch of cats every time they made trouble in the spring.

Indeed, there were cats and mice in each room, and in the old lady's house were Persian cats from the Western Regions. In the Ye family's courtyard, there are only jade hanging pearls, and the wild cats are not in good condition, and the masters are not fed.

Shi Gui watched Song Mian feed the cat, teasing the cat while looking at her with his afterglow, in the end, the young man was thin-skinned, Shi Gui simply laughed: "Young Master Tang is fine, I am now transferred to the cousin's room, my sisters sent me to pick flowers, disturbing the young master's study, what a sin." ”

Song Mian coughed and cleared his throat, he came out so early, and there was no little scholar to follow, so he didn't treat him as a young man, and he couldn't afford the young master's score at this time, and Shi Gui was even more familiar with Shi Gui, and it was all her who sent the inkstone to visit the patient, and smiled at her: "It's okay, and it doesn't bother me, you can do your errand." ”

Shi Gui took a small basket to pick osmanthus flowers, and heard the meow behind him, and looked back to see that the big fat yellow civet was lying on its side with half of its belly exposed, waiting for Song Mian to rub its hair.

Song Mian rubbed it, and was stunned when he touched it: "It, it's going to give birth to kittens?"

Shi Gui leaned over to look, the cat suddenly turned over, its belly fell, and sure enough, there was a kitten in its belly, Song Mian frowned: "This is ......"

He can't even be alone in Zhile Zhai, let alone take care of big cats and kittens, Shi Gui watched the cat shrink at his feet, and knew that he couldn't raise it, and said: "Or, send it to the kitchen? The small kitchen in the yard will also have cats to prevent mice." ”

Song Mian had no other way, and looked at Shi Gui: "Then I bother you to send it to the kitchen." He hugged the cat in his arms and wanted to hand it to Shi Gui, but before Shi Gui could reach out his hand, the cat meowed, scratched Song Mian with his paws, jumped down and quickly got into the bushes.

The cat ran away, the basket was overturned, and the osmanthus flowers were scattered all over the ground, Song Mian also scratched the skin, and Shi Gui casually took a handkerchief to hold the wound for him.

Shi Gui was a little weak-hearted, and he was afraid that Song Mian would scratch something wrong, so he was still confused, and blurted out in his mouth: "Hurry up and wash it with salt water." "Pull it over and take a closer look, thanks to the fact that the skin is not broken, only a red one, and there is no bleeding.

Shi Gui breathed a sigh of relief, if she got sick, it would be her sin, this cat originally wanted to scratch her, but she didn't think that Song Mian blocked it for her.
