Chapter 284: Persuasion
Zheng Sui arrived at the Qu Courtyard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he ran into the eldest brother who came out of the house, "Brother." ”
Zheng Jing looked up at Zheng Sui, and when he saw it, he saw an almost pale face, only looking at the sluggish expression, the shape was stubborn, like a person with a serious illness who had been lying in bed for a long time, with plain coarse linen clothes on his body, empty and leaking, how could he lose weight like this, in an instant, the words of reproach swirled in his mouth, but he couldn't say it, he only responded, "It's coming." ”
Zheng Sui snorted, looking at the eldest brother's stiff expression, she suddenly stood a little cramped, and after receiving the news, she guessed that it might be that her sister-in-law Li wanted to see her, but as soon as she entered the courtyard, she ran into the eldest brother Zheng Jing, and she was a little undecided, whether the sister-in-law Li wanted to see her, or the eldest brother wanted to see her?
Probably seeing her uneasiness, the eldest brother didn't let her stay for a long time, and said, "Go in, your sister-in-law wants to see you." ”
Upon hearing this, Zheng Sui breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'll go in first." ”
Zheng Jing nodded, seeing that Zheng Sui was still standing still, he sighed in his heart, he wanted to ask a lot of things, but he didn't ask again, turned around and walked towards the east chamber.
Zheng Sui watched Zheng Jing leave, and then started to move forward, it is undeniable that after all these years, she was still stunned in the face of her eldest brother Zheng Jing.
As Shi Lan walked into the room, through the main hall, through the curtain, around the screen, the light in the room was extremely bright, after entering, at a glance I saw Li leaning on the bed, Li's face was still sallow and sallow, without a trace of blood, but the soft and bright wandering between the eyebrows was like a spring in March, warm and warm, and the flowers bloomed. Spring is full of flowers.
Such a sister-in-law, in Zheng Sui's eyes, is undoubtedly very beautiful.
"Sister-in-law. Zheng Sui shouted. Walked over.
Li Shi looked at Zheng Sui, shouted Xixi, his eyes swirled on Zheng Sui, when he saw Zheng Sui for the first time, he was secretly surprised when he saw Zheng Sui's changes, and he was more distressed. Stretched out his hand from the quilt and held Zheng Sui's hand, "It's only been a long time." How did you get so thin, how is your illness?"
Speaking of this, he pulled Zheng Sui to sit down beside her, and reached out to touch Zheng Sui's cheek. His face was full of pity. instructed Shi Lan beside him, "Go and call the doctor who used to diagnose Xixi's pulse, I want to ask him how he did the disease, a little wind and cold, he hasn't been cured for so long." ”
Shi Lan answered, turned around and wanted to go out, but asked Zheng Sui to stop.
Zheng Sui took Li's hand and put it in the bed. "Sister-in-law, I'm fine, I don't do anything about medical treatment. ”
She was worried that after the illness was investigated, she would have to blame the second sister-in-law Feng who took care of her, and as for the maidservants and maids around her, she was afraid that they would all be punished, since she was a child, it has always been like this, as long as something happens to her, the person who takes care of her, and the servants around her, will always be implicated.
"You are sick like this, and you say it's okay, you say, when you are not sick, you will come to talk to your sister-in-law every day, since you are sick, for more than ten days, your sister-in-law can't even see your face. ”
Zheng Sui smiled reluctantly, "Since then, I have come to see my sister-in-law every day and talk to my sister-in-law." ”
Li shook his head, "You can't come to see your sister-in-law, but secondly, as long as your illness can get better as soon as possible and your body is healthy, your sister-in-law is even happier. ”
"Sister-in-law, I ......" Zheng Sui looked at the Li family's cave like an open flame, as if he could probe the privacy of her heart, and hurriedly opened his eyes, "I will take care of my body." ”
Li glanced at Shi Lan and motioned for everyone in the room to be dismissed.
When Shi Lan saw it, she took the maidservants and servants out, including Xin Yi and Chenfeng, who followed Zheng Sui's side.
When everyone in the room was sent out, leaving only Li and Zheng Sui, Zheng Sui's heart tensed nervously, accompanied by anxiety, in his heart, he guessed a few points, and his sister-in-law was afraid that she was suspicious, or knew something.
Sure enough, I only heard Li Shi say: "Xixi, your brother received news today that Uncle Huan Qi married in Nandi......"
"If you marry a relative, you will marry, what does it matter to me?"
Zheng Sui stood up and shook off Li's hand, she already knew the news, the letter that Huan Gu handed over to her, Huan Yu's handwritten letter, she burned to ashes as early as that day, but those words, but they were still stubbornly rooted in her mind, appearing from time to time, she wanted to erase it, but she couldn't erase it.
These days, it has been tormenting her.
She didn't need it, her sister-in-law reminded her again, and when she thought of this, she even wanted to run out.
"Xixi," Li wanted to spread out and talk to Zheng Sui, but he didn't expect Zheng Sui's reaction to be so big, seeing that Zheng Sui wanted to turn around and leave, he sat up straight and took Zheng Sui's hand, "You sit down first." ”
"Sister-in-law. Zheng Sui shouted, as soon as he lowered his head, he saw that his sister-in-law's eyes were full of worry, and even in order to grab her in a hurry, even the quilt covering her body was lifted, although no one told her sister-in-law what illness she had, every time she asked, even her sister-in-law was vague, and it seemed inconvenient to say to her, but Zheng Sui also knew that it was the sequelae left by the miscarriage, which was about the woman's disease, and it was the most unseemly.
So, he hurriedly helped his sister-in-law to lean on the crypt sac, and covered the quilt for his sister-in-law, and then sat down on the edge of the bed again, but he lowered his head and looked at the ground, without squeaking.
Li Shi held Zheng Sui's hand, "Indeed, Uncle Huan's marriage is indeed not a matter of our bustle,"
After a pause, he said: "Xixi, do you remember, what my sister-in-law said to you that day, my sister-in-law once said that you are not suitable, not completely because the door is not right, nor because your age difference is big, but that Uncle Huan Qi is too shrewd, you never know what he is thinking, for example, this time, Xixi, can you think that he will get married so soon?"
Huan Shuqi is too utilitarian and shrewd, and Zheng Sui is too pure and direct, putting aside the door, which is also one of the roots of Li's disapproval of Huan Yu and Zheng Sui's family affairs, and their temperaments can be completely different and far from each other.
From the time he left Chen to stay in Yangzhou and counted the day he got married, two months before and after, not to mention his relatives, almost as soon as he returned to the south, he discussed his marriage.
Anyone can guess the stakes.
Listening to her sister-in-law's words, Zheng Sui was silent, she really didn't expect it, so when Huan Gu sent a message to her, it was like a winter day in Pingcheng, on an extremely cold and snowy day, a basin of water poured down from the top of her head, instantly condensed into ice, and froze.
Until now, she regretted opening the letter.
Perhaps, she shouldn't have read the letter at all.
It's just that at that time, I couldn't stand the repeated urging of Huan Gu, and I couldn't stand it, the curiosity in my heart, and a little bit of expectation, even she was confused, what was she looking forward to.
In this matter, from the very beginning, she was in a dazed state, not awake.
"Your eldest brother just told me that more than ten days ago, those guards that Huan Yu gave you, except for Jinniu and Yang An, the rest of them left, Xixi, you are sick, you just happened to be sick for more than ten days. ”
When Zheng Sui heard this, he looked at his sister-in-law Li Shixueliang's eyes for a while, as if there was nowhere to hide, and his whole body was stripped clean, and he thought that when he first came to the yard, he saw the stiff expression of the eldest brother, and now that he thinks about it, the eldest brother has probably guessed why she has been sick for more than ten days, and she is so ashamed that she is too ashamed.
It shouldn't be this way.
She didn't want to, she shook her head busily, how could she be like this, for an irrelevant person, she couldn't do this, but why, she just couldn't control herself, she often sat down, that is, for a day, she began to think crankily, all day long, she didn't want to do anything, even on weekdays, the most calming Linzi, could not calm her heart.
Writing, painting, reading miscellaneous notes, or even reading Buddhist scriptures are useless.
I also have a soft spot for the bamboo forest in front of the yard.
Even if you can't go out, you always like to open the window and listen to the bamboo forest, the wind blows in, and there is a rustling sound of bamboo waves, as if it is the most beautiful melody in the world......
But these, she shouldn't be like this, Huan Yu has a wife, and she is engaged. In this life, there is no longer a thought to be made.
"Hee-hee. Li Shi looked at Zheng Sui's miserable white face, sat down busily, and patted Zheng Sui on the back.
Zheng Sui was in a panic, touched Li's face full of melancholy, hoarse voice, called out sister-in-law, in the hesitation, as if he had found a trace of support, threw himself into Li's arms, tears flowed out involuntarily, sobbing lowly, and finally silent, accompanied by bursts of gasping, "He sent Huan Gu over, more than ten days ago, I knew the news." ”
Zheng Sui's voice is still hoarse, since his father Zheng Han passed away, due to crying, his vocal cords were damaged, and his voice has been very hoarse, and he has not recovered for so long.
"I don't want to, I don't want to know...... I don't want to do that either. "But how did it happen?
Li hugged Zheng Sui, patted Zheng Sui's back with both hands, and cried out, she was worried, Zheng Sui was holding back in her heart, and she didn't want to say anything, so it was troublesome, and persuaded softly: "It's okay, it's all over, and it will pass." ”
About a quarter of an hour or two, Zheng Sui's love was fully recovered, and when he raised his head, he looked at the placket on his sister-in-law Li's chest, which was wet, and he felt embarrassed.
Li stroked Zheng Sui's back, "Xixi, there is no threshold in this world that cannot be passed, since it can't be let go, we don't force it to let go, let alone rush to achieve it, time can dilute one qiē, wait for three years and five years, and then look back at this paragraph, you will feel that one qiē is not so important." ”
After a pause, he said: "Xixi, didn't you promise Ah Yi last time that you would teach Ah Yi to paint, and quickly recover from his illness, and every day in the future, Ah Yi and Qilang will let them go to you to learn painting after Mr. Guo's class." (To be continued......)
