Chapter 4: Dreams
Qin Qingyu only thought that her daughter was talking nonsense at the beginning of her serious illness, and reached out and pressed her daughter's shoulder: "I just woke up, I can't use my strength, and I will sleep again." ”
The maid Caiqing, who was wearing a light green skirt and a long turquoise skirt, entered the house and asked in a low voice, "Madam, did the master bring the third girl a good old mountain ginseng, do you want to stew it?" and a large bag of jewelry and clothes. Do you want to bring it in for the three girls?"
"Let's stew it! Wash the clothes and send them back!" Qin Qingyu commanded succinctly, and his smiling eyes never left his daughter.
The fire after the birthday banquet, wasn't Cai Qing dead?
I actually saw Cai Qing!
Shen Mingyan is sure that she is really back before the birthday banquet! is it a reunion after death or a meeting in a dream?
If it hadn't been for Cai Qing's sacrifice to save him, he would have died in that fire. In Shen Mingyan's memory, Cai Qing has always been silent, far less intimate than Cai Xiang and herself. In that fire, Cai Qing sacrificed himself to save himself, and Cai Xiang fainted from crying outside the hospital.
Shen Mingyan exclaimed with a sour cry in her heart: "Cai Qing!"
Cai Qing had already taken the steps and retracted it, her round face was tired: "What do the three girls command?"
Shen Mingyan smiled slightly: "It's okay!
"I've decocted the medicine for the third girl, and I'll be fine later!"
"Oh, go ahead!"
"You!" Qin Qingyu reached out and pinched her daughter's cheek: "I just woke up, and I was talking about picking incense." These days, they are not without hardship. You get better soon, and they don't worry about you anymore. If you are weak and sleep again, you will nourish your mind, and when you pick incense and boil good medicine, you will get up again. ”
Cai Qing Cai Xiang is a maid who has served Shen Ming since childhood. Cai Qing is calm and organized, and Xiang Cai is lively and alert. Shen Mingyan has always regarded the two as her own sisters.
"Hmm!" the mother's words were warm and pleasant, and Shen Mingyan closed her eyes obediently. I'm back before the birthday party. But is all this a dream or an illusion? Whether the dream is awake or a fantasy, the most important thing right now is to stop Daddy from going north. We can't let the fire burn my mother.
Thinking of this, Shen Mingyan suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, "Mother!"
"Huh?" Qin Qingyu, who was smiling and gently patting her daughter, was slightly stunned, and said softly: "I'm not afraid that my mother is here." ”
Shen Mingyan grabbed her mother's hand, and her voice trembled: "Mother, we were all burned to death by fire!"
Qin Qingyu, who was originally squinting, instantly widened her beautiful eyes: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Facing her mother's frightened eyes, Shen Mingyan continued to tremble and said: "Mother, there will be a fire soon, and there will be a fire in six years, and we will all be burned to death" Seeing that the mother who had always been tender and watery changed her appearance due to fright, Shen Mingyan's voice became smaller and smaller, and tears fell one by one: "Mother, we are all dead"
The instant panic quickly dissipated, Qin Qingyu hugged her daughter into her arms, gently stroked her daughter's back and said softly: "No, don't be afraid, we are all alive and well." You heard your mother say that you must have a nightmare. In the past few days, you have been talking nonsense, obedient, your mother will hold you, and you will sleep for a while. It was all right to get a good night's sleep."
Hearing the gentle sobbing in her mother's words, Shen Mingyan's words came to her mouth and swallowed it back, no matter what, she couldn't make her mother sad.
You have to think about it yourself and how to tell your mother.
Shen Mingyan opened her eyes again, and it was already night.
Two mutton fat candles at the head of the bed illuminate the room.
Dressed in a pink skirt and a red dress, Cai Xiang is leaning on the edge of the bed with one hand on her cheeks. At the moment, her eyes were closed, and she was sleeping soundly.
"Picking incense!" Shen Mingyan called out tentatively.
Cai Xiang's arm was crooked, and he slammed on the bed, but fortunately, there was a brocade quilt, and the knock was not very serious.
Just knocked, Cai Xiang didn't feel sleepy, sat up straight and rubbed his eyes, saw that Shen Ming was awake, and hurriedly smiled: "The third girl is finally awake!" ”
After Shen Ming's illness, she waited day and night for the fragrance picking, and in just half a month, she lost a lot of weight, and she became more and more shaved shoulders and thin waist. Cai Xiang is three years older than Shen Mingyan, which is a good age, but because of staying up late for many days, her whole face looks a little gray. Because he was too sleepy, his slender eyes almost narrowed into a slit.
At this moment, the maid who was so loyal to herself did not want to marry when she got married, but stayed in the Shen family to wait for the second girl, Shen Mingyu. When Shen Mingyu got married, she picked incense and became her dowry. Shen Mingyan couldn't help but feel a little fusy when she looked at the exhausted incense.
No, the incense picking is not dead, and the incense picking in front of him is obviously what he looked like when he was young. I also cherish myself very much, not the kind of alienation that I can't avoid when I get married. Could it be that everything in front of us is a dream, and everything in the dream will be beautiful?
"Third girl, how do you feel? Let's drink the ginseng soup, I've been stewing all night. Cai Xiang said and gently helped Shen Mingyan up, and put a thick quilt behind her, so that she could lie more comfortably.
"My mother!" Shen Mingyan didn't see her mother for a while, and she was a little panicked. There's a lot to say to my mother.
"Madame didn't close your eyes for two days and two nights in order to take care of you, and the slave couldn't bear it, so she let Madame go to sleep first, and it was time to go to bed at this moment. ”
"Oh!" Half-lying, Shen Mingyan felt slimy, and her hair was greasy against her scalp, and she felt like she was full of diaphragms for a while: "I want to take a bath!" Maybe the person will be awake after taking a bath.
"This is not good, the spring is cold, and it is night, you have just recovered from a serious illness, and you can't catch a cold anymore. Cai Qing walked in as he spoke. Cai Qing held a dark red tray in his hand. The white porcelain bowl on the tray was steaming.
Cai Xiang gently took the bowl, picked up the spoon, filled a little ginseng soup, brought it to her mouth and tasted it and said with a smile: "The third girl will drink it first." You can rest assured, knowing that you love to be clean, and the slave will help you wipe your body every night. It's a good thing to sweat now, you can bear with it and wait until you're healed. The slave will be waiting for you to take a comfortable bath. ”
"Picking incense, I" Shen Mingyan looked around for a week but didn't find the bronze mirror: "Where is my mirror?"
My mother is beautiful, my father is also in the prime of life, and I am also a beautiful young man.
Cai Xiang smiled slightly: "The third girl is very beautiful, a few days ago the witch doctor said that you are too sick, and the mirror is the most evil, so people will be removed." ”
"Oh" Shen Mingyan frowned: "Then how old am I now?"
Cai Xiang wanted to laugh but couldn't help it, and replied seriously: "The third girl is still two months away from turning thirteen years old." You'd better drink the ginseng soup first, otherwise it will be cold. ”
Looking at the spoon raised to her mouth, Shen Mingyan slowly opened her mouth.
Thirteen years old.
Then you still have a chance.
After drinking a bowl of ginseng soup, there were many fine beads of sweat on Shen Mingyan's forehead.
Cai Xiang took a silk handkerchief to help Shen Mingyan wipe the sweat beads from her forehead: "Three girls, sleep, Mrs. instructed you to pass on the doctor tomorrow morning." ”
"Hmm!" Looking at the tiredness in her eyes, Shen Mingyan slowly closed her eyes.
Whether it's a dream or a fantasy, you still have the opportunity to change everything!
