Chapter 56 [??ˇ?ˇ??]
The Kyoto of the Dayong Dynasty is Shengjing, because August 25 is the birthday of the saint today, the spacious street of the straight and upright is full of lights, because the day is smooth and rainy, and there are countries to come to the court, the people of Dayong are rich, because the days are good, they are grateful to the saints of today, and the birthday of the Lord is naturally lively and lively. There is no need for the government to inform you, and the shops are hung with lanterns and colored cloths.
The four theaters in Kyoto are also closed, but except for the people in the dance theater, because the dance theater has to arrange a program for the Wanju Festival at night, so they never rest. The scarlet door of the closed dance hall opened, and a woman came out, walking extremely briskly, and her posture seemed to have its own rhythm. There was a man beside her, as if to say something, smiling lowly.
"Second sister. ”
The woman looked up, if Li Weizhu saw her, she would definitely be stunned, because this girl had a face that was exactly the same as her, but her clothes were much more gorgeous than Li Weizhu's, and the light blue silver pattern embroidered with a hundred butterflies and flowers was sassy in the wind. The waist is tightly tucked, and below is a long skirt embroidered with goose yellow embroidered white magnolia. The head is combed with a simple peach heart bun, with milky white pearls, and a slanted jade hairpin hangs with a thin silver tassel.
Xie Weilan looked up and saw her sister in an apricot-colored cloak, she was waiting to practice dance music, but when she heard that her sister was looking for her, she came out, and Bei Siyi, who had been friends with her since childhood, also accompanied her.
"Sister, big sister asked me to come and call you. The person who came was Xie Weiju from the Xie family's big house, with obvious anxiety on her face, and she wanted to talk to Xie Weilan if she had a stomach, but because of Bei Siyi's presence, it was difficult to speak.
Bei Siyi's face showed a hint of understanding, "Then I'll wait for you next to you." She is similar to Xie Weilan's appearance and bearing, and her voice is also similar to Xie Weilan.
"Good. Xie Weilan nodded, and after speaking, she walked to the side with Xie Weiju.
"What's wrong?"
"My aunt received a letter from Mrs. Meng. Xie Weiju lowered her voice.
"Mrs. Meng?" said Xie Weilanqi, "she corresponds to her mother often, what's wrong?"
"I said in my heart that I saw a woman who was similar to the second sister you, in Xiangyang City, the origin has not been found out, and the identity is the niece of a goddess doctor in Xiangyang City. ”
Xie Weilan's heart was shocked, and her body shook even more, Xie Weiju hurriedly helped her, Bei Siyi had been paying attention to the situation here, and hurriedly stepped forward, with concern in her eyes, "Lan Lan, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. Xie Weilan couldn't say anything because of Bei Siyi's presence, "Siyi, I'm going back now, you take a leave of absence with me and the master in the courtyard first." ”
At this time, Bei Siyi said softly, "Is it the godmother's business?" There was a shallow worry in her eyes, "I heard you mention the godmother." ”
I can't tell if it's because Bei Siyi and Xie Weilan are friends, or because her appearance is originally somewhat similar to Xie Weilan, the two are getting better and better, and Bei Siyi also recognized Hua's as a godfather.
If it was something else, she would have been able to speak, and this matter might have involved her twin sister, Xie Weilan said softly: "My mother called me back." ”
"Otherwise, I'll go with you. Bei Siyi smiled softly, "I want to my mother too." ”
August 15 is Xie Weilan's birthday, and it has only been a few days since then. Xie Weiju doesn't like Bei Siyi very much, thinking like this in her heart, why do you miss her aunt?
If it was something else, Xie Weilan would not refuse Bei Siyi, and said at this time: "There are really some private matters, I'm not sure what it is, and I'm afraid my eldest sister has something to say to me." ”
Bei Siyi's expression crossed a trace of gloom, and she tilted her head again, "Then I'll go back and ask for leave for you, can you still go to the dinner?"
"Go. Xie Weilan said, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"What is this? Bei Siyi smiled and turned back. It's just a smile on her face, after turning around, it faded, in seven or eight years, she followed Xie Weilan in groups, it was the first time that Xie Weilan was rejected like this, what is the matter with the Xie family? And what does Xie Weimei want to say to Xie Weilan? Thinking of Xie Weimei, Bei Siyi's heart is a little worried, Xie Weimei's appearance is the most ordinary among the three daughters of the Xie family, but she is talented and has outstanding conduct, and she has set an enviable marriage, and now even if this marriage is not completed, Xie Weimei's reputation has not been ruined.
Bei Siyi was a little afraid to see Xie Weimei, just because her glass-colored eyes turned around, as if she could see all her thoughts clearly.
Xie Weilan followed Xie Weiju into the carriage, "What did the letter say, and what was my mother's reaction?"
Xie Weiju has a good memory, and retold the content of the letter in general, "Auntie was originally reciting Buddha, but after receiving the letter, she fainted, and my eldest sister asked me to come to you." After finishing speaking, she looked at Xie Weilan, "Second sister, you said, is the girl Li in the letter really my third sister?"
"I don't know. Xie Weilan smiled bitterly, and when she saw her sisters in the carriage, she lost her calmness just now, and tightened her hands and held the hem of her skirt in the palm of her hand, "According to Mama Zheng, she was breathing at the time, and the other maids didn't hear her sister's cry. It's up to Mama Zheng to deal with, is it really just holding her breath and coincidentally meeting a miracle doctor?"
Xie Weiju looked at the second sister like this, sat beside her, and comforted her gently, "If it's true, it's a good thing." "Auntie is thinking about the third sister, she has always known, and there is a special small Buddha hall at home for the aunt to worship the Buddha. The aunt was too sad because of her third sister, and even let her uncle climb into bed by a maid because she was depressed, and became the first concubine in the Xie family's lineage who already had an eldest son and still accepted a concubine.
The third sister's bones were not seen back then, so this series of accidents happened, and if she really came back, would it really be a good thing? Xie Weiju didn't dare to think about it.
Xie Weilan looked at Xie Weiju's expression and said with a faint smile: "My sister doesn't think like this in her heart. ”
Xie Weiju stuck out her tongue.
Xie Weilan said: "I hope it's really my sister, this is my mother's heart knot." She is not in good health, and whether the third sister is alive or dead has become her obsession. Besides, even if it's true, what kind of trouble can she make when she comes back? It's also at the age of getting married, even if she is a bad person, she can't twist her hair and be a sister-in-law for the rest of her life to accompany my mother to recite Buddhism. ”
Xie Weiju chuckled, "What the second sister said is true. ”
Xie Weilan was a little embarrassed, anyway, it was also her sister-in-law, she didn't say it well, she cleared her throat, "That's what I said to my sister." ”
"But I already remember. Xie Weiju joked with her second sister.
If Xie Weilan had scratched Xie Weiju's itchy flesh and joked with her in the past, she really didn't have the intention of joking at this time, glanced at her and sighed: "Just don't tell others." ”
"How can I tell others?" Xie Weiju leaned on Xie Weilan's shoulder, "What you said is that it's good to be back." ”
Although Xie Weimei is Xie Weiju's sister-in-law, she is also a little worried about this sister who is three years older than her on weekdays, although her sister is always gentle and gentle, she doesn't dare to provoke her, and she plays with the second sister in the second room.
"I'm just worried and empty joy. Xie Weilan shook her head, "Mother's health is not good." I'm really worried that she is going to Xiangyang City, and in the end, it's not my Xie family, that's sad. ”
Thinking of Hua's character, Xie Weiju knew the second sister's worries, "I'll know when I go back." ”
"Yes. Xie Weilan replied worriedly.
Xie Weilan is indeed Hua's biological daughter, and when she returned home, she heard Hua's tone and said excitedly: "I always have to see it with my own eyes before I am willing, I know that Meng Yan will check it for me, but when will it be checked? What if they don't want me to think of my bamboo and make up some lies? Then won't I never find my daughter?"
"Mother. Xie Weilan's footsteps paused, and she arrived in the house.
There was a curling Buddha incense in the room, and Hua heard his daughter's footsteps, so he walked over, "You're back, I'll show you your letter from Aunt Meng." A woman with a thin face came over and worshipped the Buddha all year round, so that her clothes were also dyed with a faint Buddha incense. She clutched a letter in her hand and looked excited.
"Mother. Xie Weilan said softly: "My sister told me. Stopped the mother, "Don't get too excited, sit down." ”
"Take a good look. Fahrenheit couldn't wait to raise the letter in his hand, his eyes were a little red, and tears of excitement could be seen in the corners of his eyes.
Xie Weilan took the letter, the front was a greeting, and the back was written in detail how he admitted his mistake at that time, and wrote about Li Zhiting's local reputation and medical skills.
Seeing Xie Weilan look up, Hua's eyes burst with unparalleled enthusiasm, "Do you see it?" There was pleading in her voice, "This Miss Li should be your sister Zhu'er." I want to go to Xiangyang City. ”
"Mother, don't worry. Xie Weilan's heart was a little sour, but she quickly suppressed it, "You are not in good health, the doctor said that you can't be too sad." ”
Xie Weimei also walked over, and Xie Weilan shouted, "Big sister." ”
"Stay with your aunt. Xie Weimei has been accompanying her before, because her mother is not in the house, and she can't let Aunt Cui from the second room come here to fan the flames, so she came to accompany her aunt, since Xie Weilan is back, she wants to let the two have a good talk.
"Wait a minute, you and your aunt are finished talking, come to me. Xie Weimei said.
"Wait. Xie Weilan knew that her eldest sister was the most knowledgeable, "Mother, shall I say a word to the eldest sister first?"
Fahrenheit didn't follow, "What else do you say, where is it important to have your own sister." You also put down the matter of the dance theater and go to Xiangyang City with me. Let's go today. ”
Xie Weilan's face turned pale, of course she knew that her twin sister had a very important position in her mother's heart, but she didn't expect that just for a sister who wasn't sure whether it was or not, her mother asked her to leave a qiē and go to Xiangyang City to confirm.
Xie Weimei spoke, her voice was warm and light, not angry, some like tasteless white water, but it was the most thirst-quenching, and it could also alleviate the heat in summer, "Auntie, you are saying this, you are making the second sister embarrassed, this is the birthday of the Long Live Lord." ”
Hearing the words of the eldest sister's maintenance, Xie Weilan's eyes turned red, and the grievances in her heart almost erupted.
