"In the past, I came to look for my godmother, but it's rare that my godmother took the initiative to find me today!" As soon as she entered the door, Cui Mei smiled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 But after she saw Chang's mother, the smile on her face quickly retracted, because the expression on Chang's mother's face was rare and dignified, Cuimei felt a little uneasy in her heart, and asked, "Godmother, what's wrong with you?"

"Sit. Mother Chang glanced at her lightly, and sat down opposite her, her tone as solemn as her face.

Cui Mei didn't dare to hesitate, let alone say those witty words, took off her embroidered shoes and went to the bed, sitting opposite Chang's mother. There was a small table between the two, and there were two cups of freshly brewed hot tea on the small table, and there was hot gas coming out of the teacups.

Chang's mother didn't speak, and Cuimei didn't ask, the house was very quiet, and the silence made Cuimei more and more uneasy. Even if she has made mistakes in the past, she has never seen her godmother like this, no matter what happened in the past, the godmother was always calm and light, what is wrong now? It is so serious, could it be that something really happened? But recently, everything in the house has been stable, and even Pan's mother, who often opposes her godmother, has quieted down, what big things can happen?

Just when Cuimei was guessing, Chang's mother suddenly spoke: "I called you here because I have something to tell you." ”

"Godmother, you say. Cui Mei immediately replied, "I'll listen." ”

Chang's mother looked at her, and after a while, she said, "I won't go to the capital with you, I want to stay here." ”

"Hey, what should I be, isn't it just ......" Cui Mei stopped suddenly, and she realized what Chang's mother had just said in the middle of her words. Cui Mei's eyes widened, her face was full of disbelief, and she asked repeatedly: "Godmother, what did you just say?" ”

Mother Chang sighed secretly and said in a blunt tone: "It's the same if I say it a few times, I said that I won't go to the capital with you, I want to stay." ”

"Why?" asked Cui Mei.

Chang's mother opened her mouth to speak, but stopped, Cui Mei saw that she refused to say, and she didn't force it, but just persuaded her: "Godmother, don't stay alone, let's go to the capital together, I have inquired with Pingxiang, she said that the capital is beautiful, let's go to see it together! Ah, I understand, Godmother is tired, she has no energy to do things for Mrs. anymore, and she wants to rest, right? Okay, I went to beg Mrs., let you go, let's find a small room to live in the capital, and I will raise you when the time comes!"

The more Cui Mei said, the more she changed the law to talk about the benefits of the capital, as if this way Chang Mother would no longer say that a person would stay, and in the end, there was a trace of crying: "It's okay for you to say anything, just don't leave me alone, Cui Mei is the only relative in this world." ”

Chang's mother was sad when she heard it, Cuimei was raised by her since she was a child, and she was no different from her own child, and now she wants to separate, how can she be willing to do it, but Chang's mother took a deep breath, endured the sadness in her heart, and said dryly: "Don't persuade me, I won't change my mind, I have my troubles." ”

"What kind of hardship, what kind of hardship makes you ignore the mother-daughter relationship for more than ten years?" asked Cui Mei's eyes were slightly red, and a wave of anger rose in her heart for no reason, a anger of being abandoned.

"Hey" Chang's mother sighed, she knows Cuimei's temperament best, if she doesn't tell the reason, Cuimei is afraid that she won't take a break. Chang's mother said helplessly: "You clean up your emotions first, and I'll talk to you again." ”

Cui Mei rubbed her eyes, sniffed, and slowed down for a while before she said as calmly as possible, "Say it." ”

Chang's mother closed her eyes, let's go, she is her own daughter, just tell her all the reasons for this matter. "You swear to me that you will never tell me what you heard today. Chang's mother said: "If you say it, let Chang Xiu's heart thunder five times, and he won't die well." ”

Cui Mei was startled, and threw Fang Cai's anger aside, and said, "This, how does this make ......"

Chang's mother looked more serious and said, "If you don't swear, you can't tell you." ”

This is a seriousness that Cui Mei has never seen, she knows that this matter cannot be turned around, she wants to know the truth of the matter, she must swear. So Cuimei had to bite the bullet and stumble: "I, Cuimei, swear here, if, if yes, reveal half of what I heard today, then let it, let it, often, show your heart, no, no, you can't, it's good to die." Is that okay?"

Mother Chang nodded, took a sip of the hot tea on the small table, and asked, "Do you remember the time when you came to me for an idea about the green sideburns?"

"Yes. Although it was more than a month ago, it was a big deal, and it was so easy to forget, "What's wrong?"

"Then have you ever talked to the Seventh Maiden about me?"

Cui Mei shook her head at first, and then remembered something, and said: "I remember, that day Pingxiang asked me if it was my own idea to ask the seventh girl for help, so I told her that it was your idea." "Is it because of this godmother that she refuses to return to Beijing? But what does this have to do with godmother?

"No wonder, I said why the seventh girl suddenly came to the embroidery courtyard. Chang's mother said.

Cui Mei listened and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" is it the seventh girl who is embarrassed to you?"

"Don't guess, the seventh girl didn't embarrass me. Chang's mother said lightly, "She just saw my origin at a glance." ”

"Origin?" Chang's mother has never said her origin, so Cuimei, who is a daughter, is not very clear about this matter, "Godmother, aren't you the daughter-in-law of an ordinary family in the capital, because ......"

"Do you believe these words?" Chang's mother interrupted, "Hey, Mother Pan was against me at the beginning, because my origin is unknown. I never told anyone where I came from because it was a big problem. ”

"What's the problem?" Cui Mei was nervous, curious, and a little worried.

"Do you know King Liang?" asked Chang's mother.

"Yes. Although Cuimei grew up in a small place, what Chang's mother said was a well-known figure in Tianqi, "He is an 'anti-king', a rebel who was executed by the heavenly family." Cui Mei lowered her voice very low, these things are not allowed to be discussed at will, she is still faintly frightened when she talks about it now, how did the godmother mention this person, could it be that the godmother has something to do with it, Cui Mei was even more shocked when she thought about it.

Unlike Cuimei's nervous appearance, Chang's mother was still calm, her face didn't move, and she said calmly: "That's right, my origin is indeed related to 'that person', I am his concubine." ”

"What?" Cui Mei exclaimed suddenly, and after reacting, she hurriedly covered her mouth again, and was in a trance for a while, before she shook her head vigorously, and kept reading in her mouth: "Impossible, impossible, godmother, don't laugh with me...... "You must know that people who are involved with 'that person' are going to be killed."

"Calm down. Chang's mother sighed, she was so uncalm when she encountered something, how could she rest assured, "Look at you like this, others always praise you for being a clever person in front of me, but I always tell them that you are only clever on the surface, and you are a person who has no idea at all in your heart. ”

"I'll tell you the truth, the seventh girl came with Pingxiang that day, the girl was a year younger than you, but she heard it from the beginning to the end, without showing any surprise, and finally she could laugh with the seventh girl. When do you say you're going to have that kind of concentration? Chang's mother hates that iron can't become steel, "I blame me for spoiling you too much, you can't solve something and ask for two sentences, I will answer, you are so not growing." I really don't know what to do when you arrive in the capital. ”

"Then I won't go to the capital!" Cui Mei said, "If the godmother doesn't go, I won't go, I'll go and beg Mrs. now." After that, Cui Mei got up and was about to go out, Chang's mother said coldly: "If you dare to go out of this door today, I won't recognize you as a daughter!"

"Godmother!" Cui Mei called, standing in place and not knowing what to do, tears falling down. Chang's mother was distressed when she saw it, it was her own daughter, she also got off the bed, walked to Cuimei's side, pulled her back to the couch and sat down, took out a handkerchief, and wiped her tears away. While wiping, he said: "It's all big girls, why are you crying so casually, it's not good to cry again." ”

Originally, I wanted to say a joke to coax Cuimei, but I didn't expect that my voice was also a little trembling crying, Chang's mother quickly inhaled, forcibly suppressed the sourness in her heart, and forced herself to calm down: "Okay, don't cry, this matter is a foregone conclusion, you also know my temperament, and the things that have been decided will not change." Do you want to hear how I became 'that man's concubine'?"

Cui Mei buried her head in Chang's mother's arms and nodded sullenly.

Seeing her like this, Chang's mother knew that she had figured out how to dress up, and this decision was the best decision for her, herself and his wife. Chang's mother smiled with some relief, and said slowly: "When the seventh girl came to ask, I only told her that everything was because the person was drunk, but this is not the case, in fact, I saw him drunk and took the initiative to seduce." ”

"Godmother?" Cuimei raised her head from Chang's mother's arms, her eyes were tearful, but she looked at her in disbelief, how could her godmother do such a thing?

"I knew you would be surprised. Chang's mother smiled, "I did have the heart to climb high branches, I looked at the concubines in the palace who wore gold and silver and called slaves and maids, and I was very envious, thinking that I was not worse than them, how could I only be a little embroiderer." Thinking like this, I can't help but think crookedly, people, always hope to live a better life. ”

"So, did the godmother get better later?" asked Cui Mei, her voice still a little choked.

Chang's mother shook her head: "The clothes are much better than before, but my heart is much more tired than before." In the past, I only thought about how to do a good job of embroidery, but after becoming a concubine, I had to guard against this, prevent that, fight with this, fight with that, and fight so much that I almost don't remember what I used to look like. ”

"Does the godmother regret it?"

"I don't regret it, but I regret it after losing my child. The daughter who was killed just after birth, she obviously fell asleep when she heard the child's crying, but when she woke up, she was told that the child was dead at birth.

Cui Mei was speechless for a while, reached out to hug Chang's mother, and comforted in a low voice: "Godmother, don't be sad, Godmother still has me." ”

Chang's mother stroked her long hair and said seriously: "Godmother still has you, Godmother is not sad, but Godmother wants you to promise one thing." ”

Cui Mei promised her godmother everything. ”

Chang's mother gently pushed Cui Mei and asked her to let go and sit down. When Cuimei sat up straight, Chang's mother stared at her eyes, and said word by word extremely seriously: "I want you to promise me, this, generation, never, no, give, person, dang, concubine!" That road will make her lose too much.

Cui Mei also looked at Chang's mother's eyes, and said seriously: "Cui Mei promised her godmother that she would never be a concubine in this life." ”

"That's good, that's good. Chang's mother was relieved, but although she let Cuimei agree to her, if God gave her another chance, she might make the same choice.

Perhaps, she is no longer for those silk silks, gold and silver jewelry, just for the man who shook his head helplessly under the pear blossom tree and said that she was stupid, for the man who coaxed her out of the house before the incident. Perhaps, perhaps, he really likes himself a little bit.

"But how did the seventh girl know your origin?" With the godmother's caution, the seventh girl should not find out.

Hearing Cuimei's question, Chang's mother was shocked to find that her eyes were a little moist, turned her head to wipe her eyes, and said, "It's because of 'stacking needles and locking bead embroidery'......"

Chang's mother told Cui Mei the whole story again, and then told her a lot of trivial things, and the mother and daughter just sat on the couch and talked a lot.

"Godmother, I'm staying here tonight and not leaving. ”

"Good. ”

"Godmother,......

"Huh. ”

"Mother. ”

“…… , eh. ”

The day of returning to Beijing is set, some people are rejoicing for this tonight, some people are sad for this, some people are laughing, some people are crying, tonight is destined to be a night with mixed tastes.

The Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, and the moon in the sky is not round.
