71. Chapter 71
Restlessly walking into the courtyard, a person suddenly jumped out from behind the door, startling her a lot. Song Yanzhu pretended to be annoyed and raised his hand to hit Song Heqing, "Why don't you get tired of using this trick!" If it really scares me one day, look at you! ”
"How can you be scared?" Song Heqing squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Is my sister going to the restaurant again?" I've heard that our restaurant is now full of customers, and there are so many customers that they are overwhelmed. Jingwen also said that the food in the restaurant is delicious, and it is even better than what my sister makes! ”
"I just want to eat all day long, have you done your homework?" Song Yanzhu couldn't help but reproach. Song Heqing has not been taught under Zhu Jue for a long time, but his schoolwork has improved by leaps and bounds. Not long after, there was a children's test, and Zhu Jue recommended Song Heqing and Zhu Jingwen to go together, because these days, Song Heqing almost got up early and was tired enough.
Song Yanzhu said this, but it was just a joke, but he didn't say that he was worried that he really wouldn't study. Speaking of which, Song Heqing is really diligent in his schoolwork.
Song Heqing pouted and said, "My sister doesn't believe me like this? But I still don't care about the children's test! Yibi came up again, and said with a smile, "Jingwen will also go down the mountain in a while, and Brother Tao said that he would take us out to play." ”
Song Yanzhu was stunned for a moment, I don't know when Song Heqing likes Tao Moyan very much, and he always thinks of him a few times when he goes home, and recently he has talked about Zhao Rong less often.
Song Yanzhu deliberately avoided Tao Moyan's three words, and asked instead, "Why haven't I heard you mention Sixth Brother Zhao recently?" ”
"The sixth brother seems to be sick, saying that he has been drenched in the rain and has suffered a cold, and he has been intermittently not good for a long time, and he has not gone up the mountain for two days out of three days." Song Heqing said, suddenly remembered something, took out a handkerchief and a box of almond peanut crisp from his sleeve, and said to Song Yanzhu: "Sixth brother asked me to return this to you, this box of almond peanut crisp is a thank you gift." ”
"A handkerchief, he's so polite." Song Yanzhu smiled helplessly, took the veil, and smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms. Song Yanzhu was stunned, holding the handkerchief a little at a loss: this handkerchief is newly made, and it was given to Zhao Rong on the day he brought it, and he asked her what incense she liked that day, and she casually said plum blossoms, but she didn't expect the handkerchief she got back with the fragrance of plum blossoms - the new handkerchief can bring this elegant taste, and I am afraid that I can't do it without ten days and half a month. He is a man, but his mind is so delicate, and the gifts are so traceless, which is really moving.
Song Heqing opened the peanut crisp by himself, and as soon as he threw a piece into his mouth, Song Chengqing's door opened, and the Jin family came out of it, and Song Heqing and Song Yanzhu stood outside stunned, Song Heqing hurriedly said: "Mother, I'm back!" ”
Jin nodded, Song Heqing stood beside her, and said softly: "I just met a strange thing outside, a girl went around looking for someone to ask how to go to the Song Mansion, and said that she was the young lady of the Zhao family...... Crying all the way ...... I wondered if it was any relative of our family, but I had never met her. ”
As soon as his words fell, Song Yanzhu felt a strange feeling in his heart, and he jumped, and Jin also sank his expression and asked, "How old is that girl?" Where will this be? ”
"It's at the back door of our house......" Song Heqing was about to point to the back door, but he saw Mother Hua hurriedly running in and said to the Jin family: "Second lady, it's not good, Miss Cousin of the Zhao family is back alone...... Aunt, aunt is gone! ”
"What?" Jin looked up in amazement, and Mother Hua nodded and said, "Miss Biao found our Song Mansion alone, saying that my uncle is gone, and the Zhao family doesn't want her...... This person is at the old lady's, and the grandparents are hugging and crying! ”
It rained a lot in the spring, one moment it was still a beautiful day, the next moment it was a violent wind, and it was getting dark, and it didn't take long for the raindrops to crackle and fall.
Jin and Song Chengqing entered the house one after another, but Song Yanzhu stopped walking, stretched out his hand to dust the raindrops on his body, and his fingertips were slightly cold. Mother Hua reminded softly: "Madame and Miss have arrived, Miss hurry up and go in." ”
Song Yan nodded indifferently, Mother Hua opened the curtain, and she stepped in. In the spring, the old lady's house still lit a stove, and Song Yanzhu's body was warm and cold, and he couldn't help but shiver.
A room of people had already sat down in turn, and there was a woman kneeling in the hall, her clothes were elegant, and her waist was slender and she could hold it, and she cried softly, and her crying was like singing, like crying, like crying, like grinding, which made people's hearts tremble, and suddenly gave birth to a heart of pity and cherishment.
Zhao Silian...... Song Yanzhu recognized the person in front of him with just one glance. Song Yanzhu tried his best not to think about it, but the moment he saw Zhao Silian, those memories rushed over the river and the sea like a nightmare.
Beat Xiao Zhao Silian loves to cry, combing two pigtails, a crystal doll carved in powder and jade, tears fall down when something happens, and everyone feels distressed when they see it, and they always have to coax her. At that time, Song Yanzhu was still a girl who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and the elders' love for her was never lost to anyone. At that moment, Zhao Silian and Song Yanzhu were very close, chasing after Song Yanzhu like a little tail every day......
Zhao Silian is timid, she has to cry every time she encounters something, Song Yanzhu hugged her, she was about to make a mistake, before she opened her mouth to cry, Song Yanzhu always comforted her and said, don't be afraid, she is here. She always thought that their relationship was indestructible, until one year, Song Yanzhu encountered a major event, which completely adapted her character after the previous life - she killed a maid.
She can't remember how the maid died, but she remembers that at that time, Zhao Silian said that the maid was perverse, her hands and feet were not clean, and she bullied the master. In fact, she didn't take the girl very seriously. But the next day, I heard that she was dead...... I heard that I was too ashamed, so I committed suicide by throwing myself into the lake that night.
I heard that the maid died without turning a blind eye, and when the corpse was fished up, it looked like a dead fish, with wide eyes, many whites, and few black kernels...... That incident was later covered up by the Jin family, and it was over, but Song Yanzhu had a nightmare for a long time and never came out of the nightmare. And Zhao Silian also seemed to be frightened, and was sick for a few days, and after getting better, he followed Zhao Chengyun to Jinling, and went for so many years.
When they met again, it was the same as now: Zhao Chengyun died, and Zhao Silian returned to the Song family helplessly. When she saw her again, she was very distressed, only to feel that the crystal doll carved in pink and jade at that time was now helpless, and she was the most pitiful person in the world...... Her house is divided into half of hers, her bed is divided into hers, and she has all her food and clothing.
Until the end, Song Yanzhu gave Tao Moyan to others...... Actually, I can't say that I gave it away, because she never got it.
It's ridiculous...... Song Yanzhu couldn't wait to laugh out of tears, but there was only a faint wry smile on his face. Thinking of the sentence "crooked neck tree" that Tao Moyan said, he smiled bitterly and had a little more helplessness: Tao Moyan could still find her fragrant grass after all, the crooked neck tree didn't last long, and now his fragrant grass appeared again.
"Second sister......" Song Yuzhu called her softly on the side, pulled her hand, and wondered: "Why is it so cold and raining?" This cold spring weather is so annoying! ”
Before Song Yanzhu could react, Song Yuzhu stuffed the sleeve stove in his hand into Song Yanzhu's hand.
There was a burst of warmth in the palm of his hand, and even the whole person came alive. Song Yanzhu cast a grateful glance at Song Yuzhu, and saw Song Yuzhu blinking his eyes playfully, and turned his gaze back seriously.
Zhao Silian, who was kneeling, was crying and said: "Before my mother died, something strange happened in the family, and I don't know where a Taoist priest came, saying that my mother had a bloody disaster around the seventh day of the third month, so she must prepare a few more stable women and invite a few more doctors." At that time, my mother was suspicious of deception, and my father even beat the Taoist priest out. On the seventh day of the new year, my mother was so angry with my aunt that I was born prematurely, and my father and I happened to be away from home that day, and when I went back, my mother was already dying, and she was gone after a while......
Song Yanzhu listened on the side, sighed deeply, and his heart was a little heavy.
I heard Zhao Silian say again: "After my mother died, my father was detained. The house was in chaos all of a sudden, those aunts and mothers-in-law colluded with the little maids to rob the things at home and ran away, and the maids were also in danger of themselves, they walked and scattered, and the government had not come to raid the house, and the house was already in chaos. The poor mother is still lying in the coffin, so you have to see this scene......"
Xu was suppressed too much, and she cried loudly as she spoke. Mrs. Song couldn't help but hear that there were also old tears here, and cried bitterly: "My cherished son, ......"
Yuan helped Zhao Silian up and said, "Poor Jian'er, tell your aunt quickly, why is your father gone?" ”
Zhao Silian's tears fell down, as if she had thought of something extremely terrible, and her whole body was swinging. Jin said: "I'm afraid this child is scared, and I'm tired today, so let her rest first, and let her talk another day." ”
Zhao Silian waved his hand and choked up: "After that day, the government sent people to surround the entire mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave...... Copying the house, copying three times before and after, the third copy, the family was surrounded by four walls, and the father came back that night, and there was no injury on the body, but the spirit was a little aggrieved. After writing a letter and sending it home, he took me back to Jianzhou the next day...... My father told me that even if this is the case now, as long as I can return to Jianzhou, I will have a chance to make a comeback, there are uncles and brothers here, and there are uncles here. But...... But unexpectedly, we encountered a strong wind in the waters of Suzhou Prefecture, and the whole boat capsized, and when I woke up, I was in a fisherman's house...... They told me that all the people on the boat were dead, and they ......."
At this point, she was completely devastated, turned her back and cried loudly, her thin shoulders trembled slightly, and she cried and cried, and she fell down in a flicker.
The old lady was busy asking people to ask for a doctor, and it took a while to wake people up, but she didn't speak, only choked with a handkerchief.
