24. Two thousand gold with the same smell
The Hou Mansion was silent for many days, the girl did things lightly and didn't even dare to breathe, Ye Ziniang washed her face with tears every day, and only hated why she was such a ruthless mother and sent her daughter to such a distant place. The plump cheeks that finally became plump and thinned down for no reason, Ye Ziniang looked at her husband with an anxious face, and said with tears: "Is there any news of Lianbao?" ”
Father Ji shook his head, with a blue-gray face, a faint stubble on his cheeks, he couldn't sleep peacefully for a few days, and a natural disaster that happened once in hundreds of years, how could such a fragile little girl withstand it. looked at his wife's sad face, but he could only speak quietly: "Our daughter has a great fortune and a big life, it's okay...... It's going to be fine......" I repeated it a few times, and I don't know who I was talking to, but the trembling voice quietly leaked the uneasiness in the words.
Hou Fu is a vegetarian every day, green vegetables and tofu are on the wheel, Ji Suzhe's little face is wrinkled into bitter gourd, he pats off the hand of the nurse feeding angrily, and pouts and shouts to eat meat. The little young master lost his temper, and Mother Lin was his opponent, so he hurriedly hugged the person to his wife. Ye Ziniang pinched her son's little face, pulled the corners of her mouth, and tried to smile: "What kind of tantrum do you have?" ”
The villain's family snapped their fingers and complained, and repeated the cabbage and tofu with a big tongue It was really unpalatable, and even Xiaobai lost weight twice. Ye Ziniang asked the kitchen to reheat the meal, and patiently coaxed her son to eat vegetarian food, Ji Suzhe wrinkled his trademark bitter gourd face again, raised his little hand, and spilled the food on the ground. The delicate porcelain bowl cracked in response to the sound, making a crisp sound of "ding", which broke Ye Ziniang's last nerve, and said sharply to her son: "Your fourth sister is now missing, can you be sensible!" ”
The five-year-old baby didn't understand what was going on at all, and the mother who was still soft and soft a second ago became so fierce in a blink of an eye, she only felt that her mother was very terrible, and she opened her mouth and cried. Ye Ziniang also shed tears, and her pessimistic feelings couldn't be stopped: "Don't cry, why are you crying when your fourth sister is good?" She has been extremely nervous in recent days, and the slightest movement will stir the fragile nerve in her heart, and the whole person is on the verge of collapse. I didn't even dare to think about the situation of the white-haired person sending the black-haired person, and I was only a little over ten years old, and I was willing to be close to myself for a few years, in order to have such a thing......
Ji Yuanshan hurriedly took away the five-year-old child, took his wife's hand, and held her in his arms, the body of the person in his arms trembled slightly, Ji Yuanshan held back the sour taste in his eyes, and comforted him, "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”
This is an indelible wound in the hearts of the two people, not yet scabbed, bleeding and pulling flesh and skin.
Ye Ziniang suddenly shook her head in panic: "It's me who is not good, it's me who hasn't taken care of her all along, if it weren't for me, Lianbao wouldn't have had an accident, if it wasn't for me insisting on sending her away, how could something like this happen to her...... But I ...... But I don't care about her, I'm growing up just by looking at it, and everyone in my family is spoiled and gone, even myself...... Also...... But ......"
Father Ji gently held his wife's face, looked at the blood-red eyes, and caught her words: "I don't blame you...... Don't say that again. He tried hard to suppress his desire to become a strong pillar of the family, but the tears in his eyes inadvertently revealed his true feelings.
It is an open secret in the entire Hou Mansion that the two masters with supreme power in the mansion are on the verge of collapse, and everyone tacitly but cannot wade into troubled waters, so they can only remain silent, and everyone is walking on thin ice and doing things carefully, but they are afraid that if they are not careful, they will not know whose bottom line they have touched.
So much so that when the news came from the Ye Mansion, it was not the two masters who were the first to be happy, but before the news reached the upper room, the people were already celebrating in the mansion.
**
The carriage was moving so fast, but the journey home felt like there was no end in sight.
When Ripples saw his mother, he was startled, his eyes widened, and he saw that his mother's plump cheeks were gradually emaciated from the previous life, and the clothes that originally fit were wide as if they were filled with the wind, and after just dozens of days, his face was haggard as if he was more than ten years old, and he was sad in his heart, holding his mother's want, he buried his face in his mother's chest, and tears fell down big drops.
Fortunately, I finally went home, if I died once, I was still secondary, how should my father and mother live? Fortunately more than once in the flood, fortunately, my father and mother not only have a child of their own, not only have a daughter of their own, if they really can't survive, at least not the only one, at least there are brothers in the family who can comfort my father's heart.
Now that I have met my mother, I know that I am very wrong, every child is a unique parent, and where is there a saying that there is one instead of one?
Daddy has always paid attention to the appearance, and now the beard has come out of the green stubble, the dark eye circles, I don't know how many days and nights I can't sleep.
Ye Ziniang has exhausted her strength for many days, holding the ripples at this time, but refusing to let go, the ten-year-old girl is already very heavy, but Ye Ziniang is holding her, like holding the most important rare treasure.
I almost lost my daughter once, and it was like having a heart disease.
If you can't see your daughter at a glance, you just feel that your whole heart is empty.
In the past, Ripples wandered around the house, and Ye Ziniang ate fruits in the pavilion.
Now Ripples is wandering around the house, and Ye Ziniang is following behind, following suit.
Ripple looked back, frowned, and the dimples on his face became invisible: "Mother, you don't have to follow me every day, there will be no floods in the Hou Mansion, and there will be no traffickers, well, there will be no earthquakes!" ”
Ye Ziniang wiped her tears, you don't know the heart of being a mother too much, and her eyes were red: "You forgot?" You followed your mother like this when you were a child. ”
The ripples were stunned, as if they ...... It really is. When I was very young, instinctively, I longed for my mother's arms, so weak, not strong enough, and my mother's heartbeat could best soothe my feelings. Now, when I have grown up, become strong, and can take charge on my own, the little hope I had when I was a child has long since fallen to which corner.
Ye Ziniang looked at the little girl in front of her, and suddenly had a hint of timidity, the so-called homesickness is this truth, obviously she wants to be kind, but she can't do it. She also regarded Ripple as the toddler girl, who wanted to save the mother-daughter relationship as thin as a piece of paper through guò's meticulous care, and she was absent from a crucial page in the life code of the young girl, and the initial personality of the four-year-old girl was initially formed in the absence of her mother.
Ripple thought for a while, and finally spoke: "Mother, I'm really not used to you like this." ”
Ye Ziniang couldn't help but close her eyes and exhale heavily, facing her daughter's calm and waveless eyes, she frowned sadly, her young daughter has always been like this when facing her, not intimate or alienated, and there has been a time that can't be passed.
"Okay, mother, try to ......" Ye Ziniang opened her mouth, at this moment, she is not the eight-faced lady of the Hou Mansion, just an embarrassing mother who doesn't know how to love her daughter.
As a result, things are finally back on track, and no one has paid too much, and no one has no intention of accepting it. Time passed quietly unconsciously, and the ripples returned to the Hou Mansion to dominate the first room. At this moment, the Tongcheng Fang family sent two uninvited guests.
Ripples wrinkled into the same bitter gourd face as his younger brother, the Tongcheng Fang family is famous for its big rules, such a family sent two senior old ladies in the palace out, Ripples couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, mourning their own misfortune!
Baozhu covered his mouth and shook his shoulders, and was about to break out of laughter, gasping for a while, Fang said: "Your mother really saw your dilapidated heart from under your disguised appearance, this is iron-hearted, and she wants to invite someone to make you a "lady of the capital" who is consistent on the outside and inside." ”
These two little girls have always tore apart the dogma left by their ancestors with the identity of Xuan He, from the same childhood interests to the later "stinky similarity", they have never taken care of what they said, and they have laid an indestructible sisterhood under the mutual depreciation of the truth and the big truth.
Ripple glanced at her and said lightly: "I thought you were going to laugh and die." ”
Qiu Tong came up with tea, and he was already surprised by this.
Baozhu rubbed his chin and laughed loudly: "You are a good person, I can't complain that God refused to accept you and saved our family Lianbao, girl, I want to reward you heavily!" ”
Qiu Tongfu has a big life, he has been familiar with water since he was a child, and he picked up a life by climbing a big tree.
Baozhu's words were not finished, his eyebrows and eyes were full of teasing smiles, Bai Yu seemed to have a pair of crooked eyes, and continued: "Such a good girl might as well follow me?" I will ensure that your food and clothing will be doubled compared to the Hou Mansion, and I will give you an extra two dollars of silver to buy snacks every month. ”
Ripple smiled, the little dimple was faint, and he stretched out his finger to poke Baozhu's full forehead: "This girl, she's talking nonsense again." ”
The sun was just right outside, and there was a bright light in the room.
