Old Lady Shangguan looked at Bai Qianqian with soft eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth became a little thicker. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bathed in the smile of the old grandmother, Bai Qianqian inexplicably felt a long-lost warmth, from the warmth between relatives.

"Miss Bai looks exactly the same as the little lady back then, how can it be a fake?" The old lady said as she peeled the oranges, "Madam, it's just that the suspicion is too serious." ”

Tangerines are a specialty of Shu and ripen in winter. If you are an ordinary person, you can't eat oranges at this time. But Shangguan's house has an ice cellar, which freezes fruits of the four seasons.

"Miss Bai, you can taste it." The old lady handed over a petal.

Bai Qianqian took it and put it in his mouth, "It's very sweet." Thank you, Mama. ”

The old lady looked at her and thought of Shangguan Yue'er back then, who also liked oranges so much, "Your mother also likes oranges." ”

"Really?" Bai Qianqian has very little memory of her mother, what she likes and what she doesn't like, she doesn't know anything.

Think about it carefully, at that time, the mother was widowed all day long, did not go out of the four doors, did not step out of the eight doors, and even the father was often turned away, and the mother seemed to be not concerned about everyone and everything. In Bai Qianqian's memory, Bai Changqing appears very rarely, and most of the time, she is by her mother's side. My mother doesn't speak, and she doesn't speak. Mother reads books, and she also pretends to read books. The days were repeated in boredom, day after day, until my mother fell ill in bed and was dying.

If it weren't for that, how could Ge enter the house and enjoy food and clothing far more than the concubine should have.

The old lady continued, "The little lady and the old man are twin brothers and sisters, counted, two years older than the second master, but the old lady dotes on the little lady, in his eyes, the little lady is always a little person in the powder, and everyone also follows the old lady to call her the little miss." ”

"The relationship between the little lady and the master is very good, even when the old man got married and married his wife, the brother and sister talked about everything."

"At that time, the relationship between Madame and Little Miss was very good, and they were like sisters of their own. Wherever the lady goes, she will take the little lady with her. ”

At that time, the little lady was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and worked hard. Madame often visits famous artists for her, looking for famous paintings, famous genealogy, or inviting famous artists to discuss with the little lady. Most of the talents in Shuzhong who admire Miss Xiao have contact with Miss Xiao under such a name. ”

"The little lady has a good family background, good looks, good personality, and good talent, and was called the 'four good' daughters back then."

……

Bai Qianqian doesn't know much about his mother, and now he listens to the old mother talk about the past, and slowly sketches the life picture of his mother's girlhood in his mind.

It turned out that her mother was once held and pampered by so many people, and her life was comparable to that of a princess in the court, so beautiful that it was like a fairyland.

What kind of man can make her resolutely give up the luxurious life in Shuzhong and leave her hometown?

In the years that followed, I don't know what kind of remorse my mother would have in her heart?

"Mama, you said that my mother and my aunt had a good relationship back then?" Bai Qianqian asked. But she didn't feel any concern for her mother at all, from beginning to end, she never asked about her mother's life in Shu, but held on to the issue of identity.

The old lady sighed lightly, "Yes." Mrs. not only has a good relationship with the little lady, but also is very kind and easy-going to her subordinates, and the whole house admires her. It's just—"

The old lady paused, and then said, "Ten years ago, my wife suffered from a serious illness and fell asleep for more than half a month, and her temperament changed greatly after waking up. ”

"The old man asked the doctor to see it, and said that he was depressed in his heart. Later, the lord let his wife recuperate in the backyard, and the family affairs were taken care of by the second lady. ”

Bai Qianqian grabbed the words "great change in temperament", "You mean that the temper of the eldest aunt has changed a lot?" ”

"It's not just temper. Even her preferences have changed. In the past, the lady liked blue, blue clothes, blue hair ornaments, blue flowers; After falling ill, I fell in love with pink, saying that pink looked festive; In the past, my wife also liked to eat oranges, and every year when the new oranges were produced, she would taste the new oranges sent from all over the world with the little lady; Later, I said that I didn't like it, and I changed to eat sour dates......" The old lady said more than ten changes one after another, "The old slave used to be Madame's personal grandmother, and since she married into the Shangguan family, she has followed her. Later, I didn't know that her preferences changed, and she sent the wrong thing several times, which angered her wife, and she was driven to this annex. ”

"Alas, blame me for being careless, not noticing the change in Madame at all."

"According to you, it's not your fault, who knew that her preferences had changed so much." Bai Qianqian said soothingly.

The old lady nodded, "Having said that, it is always the old slave who does not take good care of me, and I feel deeply guilty in my heart. ”

"Miss Bai, the old slave won't bother you. Rest well, remember to call me if anything. ”

After that, you have to go out. As soon as he walked to the door, he turned back and added, "By the way, this handkerchief was picked up by the old slave when he was cleaning up the room, but Miss Bai's?" ”

What the old lady was holding in her hand was the blue embroidered lotus handkerchief that appeared next to the pillow last night.

She clearly remembered that she had put away this handkerchief, how could it be picked up by the old mother. Could it be that I was negligent and lost my handkerchief? Bai Qianqian stepped forward and took the handkerchief, "Where did Mama find it?" ”

The old lady pointed to the corner of the door, "This morning, the old slave cleaned the room and found a handkerchief in the corner. The lotus flower on this handkerchief is really well embroidered, and the old slave has not seen such a delicate embroiderer for many years. When it comes to embroidery, no one can compare to Madame, and I think this handkerchief should be made by Madame. Could it be that the lady gave it to the little lady back then? ”

This is Gan's handkerchief? Why did Gan's handkerchief appear next to his pillow? Bai Qianqian suddenly thought of the dream last night, and the woman whose legs were cut off in the dream was Yan.

"Are you sure it's embroidered by your aunt?" Bai Qianqian asked.

The old lady smiled, "Madame's embroidery skills were a must-have in Shu back then, how could the old slave admit his mistake." Mrs. Yan's embroidery is deeply inherited by Mrs. Yan, every stitch and thread has its uniqueness, and the technique is unpredictable, even if others want to learn, they can't learn. ”

After the old lady left, Bai Qianqian held the handkerchief and recalled the dream again. What makes her strange is that she often dreams in the past, and when she wakes up, she doesn't remember the scene in the dream very well, and sometimes she can't even remember it at all; But this time, every picture, every word, and every look in the dream is remembered clearly and vividly.

It seems that it was not a dream, but a real thing! This thought made Bai Qianqian's heart frightened for a while, and a little chill was faintly born in his back.

At this time, Bai Qianqian didn't notice that a pair of eyes outside the door were staring at her. (To be continued.) )
