Chapter Forty-Six: Provocation (I)
Speaking of the past, Cui's mother was also embarrassed. Now that the Hou Mansion still knows about the past, I'm afraid that only she and the old lady are the only ones. She watched Shen Guifei and Shen Peilan grow up, and she also watched them go through that painful struggle. Looking at their current lives now, she can't tell. What the old lady did back then was right or wrong.
But whether it is right or wrong, as an elder, the old lady made the decision for the good of the two children.
The old lady is a strong character, everything is wrong, she understands it in her heart, and she can't say it. Cui's mother has been with her for most of her life, and she has never seen her question herself so directly. Afraid that the old lady would feel uncomfortable, she hurriedly replied, "In this life, what kind of life you live is just a coincidence, just fate." Where there will be right and wrong. ”
The old lady knew that Mother Cui was relieved of her heart, and shook her head slightly, "I have come over for half my life, and I always feel that the love and love between husband and wife will be diluted with the passage of time." In the past, when I was young, the old marquis and I had strong emotions, and we didn't want to be separated for a moment. I gave up everything in Nanzhao and came to the Central Plains with the old marquis. When I was young, I was tempered by my mother-in-law, and when my life was better, I had to manage the entire Hou Mansion with general affairs, but now that I am older, my children and grandchildren have one or two uneasy people who still have to work. The old marquis has been away from me for so many years, and the idea of love when he was young has long faded. Occasionally, when I am tired, I will also complain, if I didn't go with the old marquis, would it be more comfortable to stay in Nanzhao. I can't tell if I made the right choice or was wrong. I was afraid that my children would be old like me, so I decided for them based on my experience for most of my life. Now that I think about it, it's probably because I was too arbitrary. Although I have had a hard time, I have never regretted it because it was my choice. Everyone will encounter some unsatisfactory in their lives, I don't know if Liu'er and Pei Lan will complain that I made a decision for them back then. ”
Cui's mother is also an elderly person, and she has seen too much prosperity and decay, gathering and dispersion. Listening to the old lady's words, she sighed softly. "People's hearts are always insufficient, no matter what the reason for making a decision in the first place, when you encounter something that doesn't go your way, you will think about what would have happened if you hadn't made that choice. Life is like this, who can take this idea seriously every day and not live well. The concubine and the eldest girl are not the kind of people who are more serious, and the old lady is relieved. ”
The old lady also sighed, "Listening to the meaning of the third girl, Brother Yi still didn't look away." I can't see Perran, but I don't know if she can't let go of her heart. Otherwise, if you have been married for many years, it is not that you are not favored, nor that your body is not good, so you will not have children. ”
"Old lady, children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Don't worry about it all the time. Who didn't have a momentary obsession when he was young, but whose life is not lived step by step. Mother Cui gently pressed her head for the old lady, and her tone became more and more gentle. "You're tired from talking all morning. Close your eyes and sleep for a while. When the two masters and a few brothers come back, there will be a family banquet. ”
The old lady nodded, closed her eyes, and breathed evenly. Apparently going to sleep. Mother Cui tiptoed to take a satin quilt embroidered with tangled magpie plum blossoms and covered the old lady. He sat on the sidelines, embroidering the embroidery that had not yet been finished.
Let's say that after Shen Miaolan returned to Miaoxian Pavilion, she felt sleepy. The lark waited for him to break up his hair, took off the slightly heavy hairpin and other ornaments on his head, changed into a light and soft silk jacket and pants embroidered with moon-white moire, and lay down on the clinical couch to sleep.
Because there was a family banquet in the evening, the lark picked out a dress for Miaolan and took it out to iron. Yun Ying accompanied Shen Miaolan in the house. Several second-class maids also performed their duties and waited in the second room. For a while, the Miaoxian Pavilion was very quiet and peaceful.
Yun Ying was a little sleepy and napping, and Yu Guang saw that someone seemed to have picked the door curtain. When I looked up, I saw Qiu Chi poking his little head and looking inside.
Yun Ying glanced at Shen Miaolan, who was still asleep, and made a silent gesture towards Qiu Chi. He walked over lightly and pulled Akichi out. Lest she wake up Shen Miaolan, she lowered her voice very low and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qiu Chi also lowered his voice and said, "The cousin girl and the third girl are here, saying that they want to talk to the girl for a while." ”
Yun Ying frowned slightly, "The girl didn't sleep well last night, and she tossed all morning." I'm asleep right now. At the family banquet in the evening, the old lady was happy and could not tell how long she would have to keep the girls by her side. Why did the third girl come with her cousin at this time? ”
Yun Ying complained slightly. She has always had no good impression of Shen Jiaolan. Besides, the old lady is used to it, and it is understandable that the cousin doesn't know, but Shen Jiaolan understands it very well. Miaolan has to take a nap every day, and she is here purely to disturb Miaolan's rest. If there is no energy at the family banquet in the afternoon, it will inevitably make the old lady unhappy. This three girls are so annoying!
Yun Ying was resentful in her heart, but she couldn't show it. Said to Qiu Chi, "You go outside to deal with it, I went to call the girl to get up." ”
If Shen Jiaolan was alone, she could have sent her back. But with He Mingyu, it's different, after all, people are guests. If he is sent away, and someone criticizes Shen Miaolan. Yun Ying turned around and entered the house, she was really getting more and more annoyed with Shen Jiaolan.
Shen Jiaolan and He Mingyu were sitting on a nanmu chair covered with cloud-smoke-colored embroidered carp and lotus chairs, drinking tea. Seeing that it was Qiu Chi coming out, the corners of his mouth were almost undetectable.
He Mingyu was simple-minded and asked curiously, "What about the fifth cousin?"
Qiu Chi was a little embarrassed, "The girls in Su Ri are all taking a nap here, and our girls didn't expect the third girl to bring her cousin over here." I just fell asleep. Sister Yunying is screaming. Girls, just sit back and wait. ”
He Mingyu was a little embarrassed, "It's all my fault, I quarreled with my sister to sleep." Saying that, he went to look at Shen Jiaolan again, "Is the third cousin Su Ri also sleeping at this time? Why didn't you say it earlier, arguing with you, my mother will say that I have no etiquette when she knows." ”
Guerlain laughed and said, "My sister doesn't come often, and we sisters don't have a long time to play together." I can sleep at any time, and my cousin can't be seen every day. ”
Whether these words are true or not, hearing them made He Mingyu feel warm in his heart. On the side, Qiu Chi heard the meaning of her words ridiculing Shen Miaolan's inconsiderate hospitality, so she couldn't help but glance at Shen Jiaolan more.
Guerlain saw that there were no special mood fluctuations on Mingyu's face, thinking that she probably didn't hear it, and couldn't help but feel a little depressed. He added, "Don't worry, the fifth sister is the most hospitable and kind, and I won't blame you for making her take a nap." ”
Recently, because I was away from home, I needed a minor operation, and I didn't bring my computer to the house. You can only grab some time every day to find computer codewords, and the update speed may be slower, but it will never be broken. Thank you for your understanding.
