2. Sister Shenshui
That's right! Qin Zhong said hello in his heart, as early as when he knew the news, he asked someone to pass the word to his eldest daughter, only to ask her to push off the fateful errand under the pretext of setting a family affair at home. It's just that now, the news has not yet come out, he has come to know his mother-in-law, and he choked her with words, and now his wish has been fulfilled, Qin Zhong does not show it on his face, but his words are not slow at all,
"Don't worry, don't worry, I don't know yet! This is not a big deal, just leave it to me, our daughter will not die in the yard, you see. ”
Seeing that the man looked confident, as if he was confident, the doubts on Chen's face gradually faded, nodded heavily, and a smile gradually appeared on his face, she was convinced of her man.
The couple whispered, the agarwood that was squatting next to the stove in the house, but they looked at the fire in a daze, and after staying for a while, they stretched out their thin palms in vain, gently broke the firewood under their feet, put it in the palm of their hands and slowly closed it, twisted their fingers slightly, and then slowly opened.
Looking at the ball of powder in the palm of his hand, Agarwood's eyes almost protruded, and his face was incredulous. After being stunned for a moment, she suddenly moved, hurriedly poked her head out of the window to look out, and saw that her father and mother did not look this way, and her heart suddenly relaxed, and she hurriedly threw the things in her palm into the stove, patted her hands, and saw that there was no trace, so she exhaled a long breath, and her face returned to a sluggish expression, motionless.
Agarwood looked at the flames jumping in the stove, and her eyes gradually became confused.
She's really back, and she's back with a strange power.
Now, my sister is not married, my eldest brother is not dead, and she is not abducted by a kidnapper, and then she took the risk of escaping, disfigured her appearance, was picked up by an old beggar, and followed him all over the country, suffering in the mountains, but she could not return home.
Thinking about it, Agarwood couldn't help but touch her face, the tentacles were smooth and delicate, completely different from the feeling of being burned by the fire, she didn't have to worry about her father and mother not recognizing her, and she didn't have to worry about being called a monster with a strange power, Agarwood showed a smile on her sluggish face in vain, the corners of her mouth were getting bigger and bigger, hehe-it's so good, it's really good that she can't even dream of it!
On the south side of the British Mansion, a narrow passage leads through the corner gate to the courtyard where the servants of the family live. Agarwood smiled and handed the mother-in-law a purse of five cents, and the mother-in-law opened the door attentively.
"Lady-in-waiting, you're coming home! Hey, I haven't seen her for a few days, the girl is getting more and more smart, if you see it outside, which girl does the mother-in-law think it is? ”
The gate guards in the courtyard don't look obvious, but in fact, they are the most well-informed, and the inner courtyard can't hide from them at all. Now looking at the girl in front of me, I naturally know that people's identities are different immediately, how can I do it if I don't stammer?
Shen Shui covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed twice, stepped over the threshold with one foot, and smiled heartily with his mother-in-law.
"Mom, don't praise me, if you praise me again, I'll have to float to the sky! You might as well call me to sink into the water! My wife gave me grace and allowed me to call me by my original name. ”
The mother-in-law was stunned, "That, that ......"
Shen Shui's eyes rolled, and he understood, and replied with a clear speech on his face:
Mrs. Chrysostom said, naturally there is a maid girl, so that my mother knows that it is the Mandarin Duck sister in front of Mrs. Yesterday, she was given a famous maid by Mrs. Yesterday, she rushed to the courtyard of the prince after dark, and received the share of the first-class big girl, and was in charge of the affairs of the courtyard of the prince. Mom didn't dare to call the wrong one, so she asked Sister Shishu to know, and she would definitely not follow it. ”
The mother-in-law nodded again and again, this is what she meant! She is like a mirror in her heart, and she naturally accepts this childlike affection. Seeing that the sinking water had stepped out of the door, the mother-in-law took a quick step, stepped to the door, and said with a high voice and a smile:
"Thank you Miss Shenshui, although the girl will go to the house for a while, it just so happens that I am on duty today, and I don't worry about it for a moment and a half, the girl screams, and the mother-in-law opens the door for the girl."
It's a coming-and-going! Shen Shui smiled, paused, looked back and waved his handkerchief, and said in a crisp voice:
"Hey, thank you Mom, Mom stays, I'll go."
After that, he watched the corner door close, Shen Shui lowered his eyes and smiled, and then tightened the burden on his arm, and walked towards his yard like a wind under his feet.
Agarwood looked at the needle and thread in the embroidered basket, and her eyes were straight.
She hadn't used a needle and thread for a long time, and of course, she didn't have to sew patches on her torn clothes.
In her last life, when she went out to see the lights and was abducted, she ran out with brute force and set a fire, and after fainting, she was picked up by an old beggar, and she has been raised as a boy.
The old beggar ran all over the world, up the mountains and into the water, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the work belonged to her.
In particular, after her strange power was noticed by the old beggar, it became even worse. From time to time, I ask for a snake soup to satisfy my hunger, or catch a blind bear and steam the bear's paws...... Ay!
Thinking about it is going to drool!
Agarwood swallowed her saliva, and there was a little more nostalgia and yearning in her expression.
Speaking of which, although the people who wore them hated dogs at that time, and the burned faces were also intimidating, they really didn't say anything about food, and I don't know where the old beggar came from so many ways.
Although she just talks about it, she still has to do the rough work, but there are always a lot of things in her mouth.
Just looking at the fact that the high beggar took her to taste the delicacies of the world, Agarwood felt that even if the old beggar was lazy along the way and asked her to carry it on her back, she still felt that the old man was actually very good to her.
After all, not everyone can face her ugly face at that time, and still eat fragrant and fragrant.
Forehead...... Well, that's a long way off.
Let's talk about this embroidery! Alas, if she had embroidered flowers or something in her previous life, she would have been able to sell them for some money from time to time, and she would not have had to sit on the side of the street and watch others throw copper plates to buy them dry food on the road.
You still have to learn, you have to study hard!
Agarwood took a deep breath, pinched the embroidery needle again, picked a half-sewn purse, lowered his eyes, and seriously threaded the needle to attract money.
The yellow sunlight filtered in through the old silk paper windows, and the tumbling particles flew up and down, dancing briskly around the little girls on the kang. The sun hit the agarwood cheeks on one side, and the fine and soft fluff on the face was clearly visible, revealing a sense of greenness.
Shen Shui pushed the door in, and what he saw was such a scene.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, Agarwood stopped the movement in his hand, looked up, and his stunned face was suddenly full of surprise.
"Sister, you're back!"
As he spoke, he put the embroidered basket in his hand to the side, slipped down the ground with the kang, and hurriedly ran forward to take over the burden in Shen Shui's hand, pulled her to sit down, and was busy pouring water, making wet towels to Shen Shui to clean his face, pouring hot tea, testing the temperature, and feeling that it was not hot, before handing it to Shen Shui.
"Sister, you drink tea."
Shen Shui watched his sister's movements with a look of surprise, and his eyes were almost full of surprise. Her sister was a stuffy person, she had never been home for more than a month, how could she look like a different person, clever and quite orderly......
With full thoughts, Shen Shui lowered his head and took a sip of tea. When I raised my head, I happened to face a pair of bright eyes of Agarwood, which were round, full of joy to see relatives, blinking like the cat's eyes raised by the old lady's side.
"Sister, how many days can you stay home this time? My mother said I missed you yesterday! ”
The crisp child's voice shocked back the thoughts of the sky, and after Shenshui was stunned, she suddenly came back to her senses, she looked at Shenshui, put the teacup on a few places, turned around and pulled through Shenshui, and simply looked at it carefully.
"Agarwood, come, let my sister take a look."
"Huh?" Shen Shui looked up in confusion and blinked in confusion. But he still stood very obediently in Shenshui's arms, and after a while, he couldn't help but murmur in a low voice:
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Although she has never seen her relatives in her life, her sister is not like this!
Shen Shui slowly retracted his gaze, smiled and nodded the tip of his nose with agarwood, and said with an affectionate smile:
"I haven't seen you for many days, and my agarwood has become a little beauty. But the teachable sister has a straight eye! ”
Shen Shui's words are true, although he was stunned when he saw the face of agarwood at a glance, but he took a second look and looked carefully, and his delicate facial features were revealed, especially a pair of black cat pupils, and the people who saw it panicked.
Agarwood didn't know that Shen Shui thought so much, but she had experienced others hiding from her like ghosts in her previous life, and now she was praised for her good looks, this is in my heart...... How can it be so beautiful!
Agarwood was overjoyed to be praised, and naturally reciprocated:
"My sister is also good-looking, good-looking tight."
Also, Shen Shui raised his eyebrows, looked at the little girl who touched her face, and laughed out loud. Agarwood looked at her sister who was smiling like a flower, and she also grinned stupidly.
Shen Shui nodded his forehead with an intimate expression, as if he reprimanded: "Little girl, it's so stinky and beautiful." ”
"Hey, hey."
Agarwood grinned, and her whole little face came alive.
The two sisters were laughing, there was a loud "bang" by the window, Shen Shui's face changed, and he subconsciously rolled on the kang with the agarwood on his forehead.
Agarwood raised her head and looked at the broken wood and stones in her original position, her eyes were heavy, and her face gradually regained the color of wood.
Shen Shui's hair was messy, holding agarwood in one hand, and he moved quickly from the other side to get off the kang. As soon as he stood firm, he hurriedly looked down at Agarwood, and asked in an eager tone:
"Agarwood, what's the matter, did it hurt you?"
Agarwood Ren Shenshui looked back and forth, and replied obediently:
"Sister, I'm fine, it's okay at all."
After submerging the water and looking at it carefully, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he suddenly looked up at the window and looked out of the window with a sharp gaze, and while standing up straight, he coaxed Agarwood in a gentle tone:
"Agarwood, stay in the house and don't move, sister go out and take a look, what's going on? Obedient, agarwood, my sister will come when she goes. ”
