Chapter 31: Proclamation
The moment she spoke, Yin Nuan suddenly regretted it in her heart. He had never seen such a sad and desperate expression.
The maid saw Father and Mother walking together across the Lechuan River and on the Naihe Bridge. β
Yin Nuan was stunned, he knew what the Lechuan River and the Nai He Bridge meant, the scene described by the water slave was something he had never experienced in his life.
The water slave continued: "The maid did something wrong when she was a child, and since that time, if she dreams of meeting and seeing her mother, no matter how the maid calls, she has never heard the voice of the maid. β
Her voice was soft, gentle, and slightly hoarse, as if she could speak directly to the bottom of people's hearts. Yin Nuan thought hard about it, and then said:
"I've heard that there is a kind of dream called a dream in the heart, that is, the scene in the dream is actually your inner reaction, and it is not that the other person will treat you like that. It's as if you feel sorry for your mother, so you think she should treat you like that, but that's not the case. She is your grandmother, and no matter what you do, she always wants you to be well. β
"Is that so?" the water slave smiled lightly and said, "Thank you, Gorou-kun, the maid understands." In the dream before, my mother really talked to her servant. She and her father said to the servant, let the servant be well. β
"Yes!" Yin Nuan became happy, the water slave looked better, and he felt less guilty about bringing up this topic before.
On the second day, His Majesty the Emperor really announced that the new emperor of the world had ascended the throne, but in addition to the classic words of the new emperors of the previous dynasties, there was also a last note on the edict, saying that it had been determined that the princess of Dongyang, Sima Junbi, would be buried on a certain day.
When the water slave heard the news the next day, he was not surprised, and his hands did not even tremble. It was originally expected, but in this world, apart from his father, who would take his life and death to heart? Now that his father is gone, those people are not even willing to do superficial work.
Moreover, compared with the news of her father's death, how many times she herself died would not be more tragic than the current result.
"Sister Water Slave. Ah Yuan put the food sitting on the table, "Gorou-kun asked me to send some lighter meals, you might as well eat some!"
"No, thank you!" the water slave did not raise his head, holding the embroidery bandage in one hand, and mechanically moving the embroidery needle in his hand with the other.
"Sister Water Slave. Ah Yuan looked at her worriedly and said, "Isn't your typhoid fever cured yet?" I heard Dr. Su say that people who have just recovered from a serious illness don't have a good appetite, but you haven't eaten well these days. β
"Didn't you just drink porridge in the morning?" the water slave looked up and smiled at her, and lowered his head again, never stopping in his hand.
"But...... But ......" Ah Yuan looked at her pale face, and suddenly cried out in the middle of a sound.
"A-Yuan?" the water slave looked up at her in surprise, "What's the matter, why are you crying?"
"Sister Shuinu, aren't you tired like this?" Ah Yuan cried and sobbed, "You have been embroidering this action for a day and a night, and I don't eat or drink, I look uncomfortable." If you feel uncomfortable, you can sue sΓΉgoro-kun, or sue me......! Did you know? In order to make you eat, Gorou-kun has already ordered the dining room to change the pattern and make some light food for the fifth time. β
"Is that so?" the water slave was stunned, "It's the servant who makes Gorou-kun so worried." β
"That's not what I meant. Ah Yuan was a little anxious, "Golang-kun is worried about you, Sister Shuinu, can't you see it, Sister Rongliu was still secretly asking me who made you unhappy just now." β
The water slave shook his head, smiled, and spread the embroidery in his hand in front of Ah Yuan, "Look, I'm not doing needlework, and no one makes me unhappy!"
Ah Yuan scowled: "But you have been embroidering for a day and a night." β
The water slave took out a towel and wiped the tears on her face, and said softly:
"I'm thinking, since I came to Shuyan Pavilion, I seem to be always sick, Gorou-kun has a good temperament and doesn't mind, but I always feel that I don't want to go, so I want to take advantage of this opportunity to recuperate and learn needlework well, and I can help Sister Rongliu more in the future. β
"Really?" Ah Yuan asked in disbelief with tears still hanging on his eyelids.
"Yes. β
"That's good. Ah Yuan pushed the food in front of her and said, "Then you have to eat this meal before I believe it." β
"Good. The water slave put down the needle embroidery and reached out to take the food in her hand, but her hand suddenly trembled, and she tried hard to close her fingers to pull the food over, but her hands were still stiff after moving for a while.
"Look!" Ah Yuan pushed the food in front of her in distress, and put the dishes and chopsticks for her, "Your hands must be unbearable for such a day, do you want me to find you a spoon?"
"No need, thank you, A-Yuan!" The water slave held the chopsticks hard, lowered his head and ate silently, and quietly lowered his eyelids to cover some hideous bloodshot in his eyes.
"A-Yuan. Seeing that she was looking at herself without blinking, the water slave said, "You go back first, and I will send the dishes and chopsticks back to the dining room later." β
It just so happened that at this time, someone called Ah Yuan's name outside the door, Ah Yuan struggled for a while, and looked at the water slave with some hesitation:
"Sister Shuinu, are you well?"
"Well," said the water slave, "it's just typhoid fever, and I've been resting for two days, and I'm already fine." β
Ah Yuan was trying to oppose her so-called typhoid fever was in a coma for three days, and the so-called rest was to do needlework for a day and a night. At this moment, the person outside the door called twice, and Ah Yuan had no choice but to go out first.
In the evening, Yin Xin asked someone to send some supplements, saying that he had heard that the water slave had been in a coma for three days. Sui Ying took it and sent it to the water slave's room in person.
Looking at Suiying in front of him with some puzzlement, the water slave was puzzled that Suiying, who had always been kinder, looked a little hateful and impatient at this time.
"Sister Suiying, what is this?"
"Saburo-kun asked someone to send it. β
Sui Ying put the tonic on the table in front of the water slave with a "pop", and without waiting for her to reply, she turned around and walked out.
The water slave glanced at the so-called supplements, reached out and pushed away some of the embroidery threads, bowed his head and continued the embroidery in his hand.
At about midnight, the sound of the day's commotion in the yard gradually fell silent, and the water slave finally put down the needlework in his hand, got up and put on a piece of clothing, and pushed the door out.
Coming to Rong Liu's door, Rong Liu still sat at the table with the lamp on and waited.
The water slave pushed open the door and called softly, "Sister Rong Liu." β
"Water slave, are you here? Things are here, they're all ready. β
The water slave stretched out his hand to take it, "Sister Rongliu, I'm sorry for you, I can't find a chance to go out these days." β
"It's okay, you don't have to be so polite. Rong Liu thought for a moment and asked again, "Have you found a place?"
"No!" the water slave hurriedly refused, "No need, Sister Rong Liu, I'll just go by myself, I'll be careful, I won't be seen." β
