Chapter 4: The Return of His Father
Xiaotong told her yesterday that the wedding date is set for the eighth day of the next month, that is, there are still 17 days to go. The eldest lady also came to her several times, and told her a lot of truths about three obedience and four virtues, saying that she should not miss her mother's family too much, saying that she could come back often to see it, and saying that she had suffered any grievances and had her own family to support her...... also brought a lot of needlework, let her embroider a picture of what mandarin ducks playing in the water, said that she has been proficient in needlework since she was a child, and she must be able to embroider it before she gets married. He Wanci had a bad seizure, and her face was happy to respond, and the doctor left.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, and He Wanci took Xiaotong for a walk in the back garden at noon.
The sky was blue, the sun was beating in the green branches, and it was shining in the clear water. Recently, the begonias by the lake are in full bloom, in this season of blooming flowers, but it can win people's love with its unique delicate beauty, and become a beautiful landscape. "Pond begonia pear, rain and red branches" describes, probably the scenery in front of you.
After sitting down on the stone bench under the begonia, He Wanci had a whim and asked Xiaotong to tell a lot of what had happened before. He Wanci listened carefully, and was sad and happy with Xiaotong's narration. Sometimes she wonders whether the modern past belongs to her, or the past in the mouth of her mother and Xiaotong belongs to her.
It was nearly dusk before the two of them got up and went back. The house is busy with marriages during the day, and many relatives and friends come to visit, this backyard is a rare piece of paradise.
Before she entered the house, she saw the eldest lady who had come to look for her. He Wanci always knew that she couldn't hide from her, and after taking a deep breath, she stepped forward generously and saluted and invited her to sit in the house. The eldest lady responded with a smile, and when she entered the room, she found that there was no embroidery on the table, so she asked: "Wanci, the embroidery has been given you some days, and you should have completed most of the time, right?"
He Wanci didn't even look at that thing, she didn't know where Xiaotong put it, where did she finish most of it? But she still put on a look like she had just remembered something, and said to the eldest lady apologetically: "The weather has been hot recently, I took Xiaotong to the back garden to enjoy the cool air earlier, and I also took it with me, thinking that I would embroider a few stitches when I was resting, and it would be better to finish it earlier." But why did you put it in the backyard and forget it? Look at my memory, Xiaotong is really, and I forgot it when I was greedy for fun. I'll tell Xiaotong to get it back. So he told Xiaotong to go.
Xiaotong also knew Miss's thoughts, so she quickly lowered her head and ran away, looking like she was afraid of being punished by the two. After going out, he walked around all the way, and estimated that the eldest lady had returned to the room, just go back. And the young lady didn't say that she would take it back and show it to the eldest lady.
"It's okay to slow down, don't get tired. "The eldest lady has been busy with marriage-related matters recently, and she has not sent anyone to keep an eye on He Wanci all the time. She felt that as long as someone in front of the house and behind the house was sent to watch the exit, she would have no problem if she didn't run away.
"Thank you Madame for your concern, I'll take notice. He Wanci said.
In Kyoto, the second lady found her husband at Ren's house, and she told He Yin about her daughter. At this time, He Yin had already solved the Kyoto problem and decided to rush back to deal with his daughter's marriage.
Six days later, we arrived at Hofu.
At this time, the eldest lady was taking He Wanci to see the wedding dress, and asked her if she was not satisfied with the details and arrangements, so she still had time to change it. He Wanci wanted to say that she was not satisfied with the details of this wedding dress worn on her body to marry an old man she didn't know and had bad conduct, but she still pinched her arm vigorously, forced herself to calm down, and silently recited words like "endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky", "mother will be back soon", "it will be fine", and replied with a smile that the wedding dress is very beautiful, but it would be better if there were some more patterns embroidered on the neckline and cuffs.
The eldest lady was busy asking the embroidery lady to take away the wedding dress to change. "Madame, the lord is back. The maid said outside the house. Both of them were surprised when they heard this.
The eldest lady got up to meet the master, and He Wanci also followed.
