Going to sea (1)
Just when Xiao was thinking about when the young master of the Cheng family would come to the Chu family, three months had passed in a blink of an eye, as soon as the summer in Jinling was gone, the weather began to cool in autumn, and the sky was clear in early September, with no white clouds, and it was also a cool autumn under the breeze.
In the end, the Cheng family is too busy or too resistant, since he came back, in the past three months, Chu Yiyao only received a letter from Cheng Shaopeng, and a few boxes of gifts, Mrs. Cheng's attitude is as clear as in her previous life, for Chu Yiyao, these are not important, what she is most concerned about at the moment is the matter of going to sea in autumn this time.
"Miss, you really want to go to Datong with Steward Chu." Peacock and Baosheng helped pack up their things, full of three big boxes in the outer room, Qian's mother sighed on the side, her worry is not wrong at all, Miss is getting farther and farther away from the direction of this lady's show, first to Chunmanlou, then to the firm, and now to follow the sea, one goes for two months.
"Nurse, I'll leave the affairs in Yifeng Courtyard to you, don't worry if you have a sister-in-law in the Chu family, I'll take Baosheng and Peacock with you." Chu Yiyao took Mother Qian's hand and said coquettishly, "I also want to bring the nurse with me, but the affairs in this yard are inseparable from you, and these maids have to be restrained by you." ”
"Bring Ping'er and Bao Toad with you, there will be nothing to eat at sea at that time, bring something and let Ping'er do what you like." Mother Qian is still not at ease, how can this pampered person stand the days at sea.
"I'm going to sea with me, not traveling, bringing so many people to make a mess, Baosheng and Peacock are enough." Chu Yiyao hurriedly refused, Bao Chan still had to stay in the Chu family, that day she ran out of her house and cried in the garden, but she didn't hate her good cousin, one was a good young lady with a soft heart and hurt people, and the other was a good maid who was loyal and not understood by her own young lady, she hit it off, how could she be embarrassed to take Bao Toad away.
"I'm so ashamed of my wife." Mother Qian sighed, before her wife died, she asked herself to take good care of the eldest lady, but no matter how she looked at it now, she felt that the eldest lady had deviated from the appearance that the lady expected at the beginning.
"What do you say, you take good care of me, by the way, nurse, why don't you let the leap go with me." Chu Yiyao thought that there was still a lack of a retinue, so she asked Qian's mother for her nephew to help, and Qian's mother was happy and went to find someone.
Chu Yiyao looked at the list handed over by Bao Sheng and nodded, "Let's do this first." ”
Ping'er's voice came from outside the house, saying that Miss Tang was here, Chu Yiyao was looking for a book on the bookshelf about the navigation map, Chu Miaoluo walked in, Chu Yiyao stood on the chair with a thick book in her hand and looked at her condescendingly, "Sister Miaoluo, are you looking for me?" ”
"I heard my mother say that you want to go to sea, the weather at sea is changeable, the sea breeze is salty and wet, I have some beauty cream, you take it and use it, and if you feel uncomfortable on your face after going to sea for a few days, you can just use it." Chu Miaoluo took a beautiful box from the maid's hand, opened it and saw a delicate ceramic jar inside, Chu Yiyao handed the book to the peacock, jumped down from the chair, opened the jar, and smelled a faint aroma when she got closer.
"It's not a precious thing, it's better to use, don't dislike it." Chu Miaoluo said with a chuckle.
"How come, thank you Sister Miaoluo, I've cleaned up a lot now, it's a mess, why don't I send you out first." Chu Yiyao smiled and put the things aside, Chu Miaoluo told her not to forget to put them in the box, the two of them walked to the door of Yifeng Courtyard, Chu Miaoluo stopped, "It's good for me to go back by myself, you are busy with you, by the way Yiyao, I want to ask, is Young Master Cheng, who came back last time, have a good relationship with you and Brother Duanyuan?" ”
"I've known each other since I was a child, and I have a good relationship with my second brother, and my cousin asked why this?" Chu Yiyao asked rhetorically, Chu Miaoluo smiled gently, "I'm just curious, I see that you get along well, when we were in Huizhou, my mother didn't allow us to go out, so there were no acquaintances." ”
Chu Yiyao watched her leave, the smile on her face gradually faded, the second uncle and aunt have their own business in Huizhou, but this is Jinling, without her and sister-in-law, it is difficult for them to integrate into this circle, if Brother Cheng does not come, the second aunt will have no chance to plan, so she used the excuse to inquire about the relationship between Brother Cheng and herself, and she has not visited again for several months, are they in a hurry...
Back in the yard, Chu Yiyao looked at the brocade box on the shelf for a while, took out the jar inside, took the flat stick from the peacock's hand, Chu Yiyao picked some and lifted the sleeves, and gently smeared them on his wrist, waited for a while, there was nothing abnormal, Chu Yiyao picked some more and re-applied them in the places that had been dried, and repeated them five or six times, after a stick of incense, red patches gradually appeared in the smeared place, and it was slightly itchy.
"Miss!" The peacock hurriedly brought water over to wipe her clean, Chu Yiyao felt the hot feeling on her wrist, her face was full of ridicule, it was really a good idea, this thing was used again on the second day after using it on the same day, the effect was much lighter, at least it would take more than ten days before there would be a reaction on this arm, and then it could be attributed to the unaccustomed water and soil at sea, how could she not think of this beauty cream.
If she comes back to make trouble, it can be said that it is good when she brings things, but the weather at sea is changeable, and it is impossible to say that it has deteriorated, and if she really uses this for a month, she will be surrounded by water at that time, and she will not be able to seek medical treatment, and this face will not know how long she will not be able to see people.
"Miss, what's in here, how can you use it like this?" The peacock scrubbed her several times with a soap horn, but the red mark never faded, faintly glowing with some small particles, "Miss Tang, what kind of heart is this?" ”
"No matter what kind of heart she has, you can find a way to mix this into her use, and if you want to touch the silver, go to Baosheng to pay it." Chu Yiyao snorted, "Maybe my cousin's skin is not as prone to allergies as mine." ”
The peacock carefully put this away, Chu Yiyao went out of Yifeng Courtyard to Qiao Cong'an, Chu Yingzhu was playing in the yard, followed by two maids, and when he saw that his aunt was coming, he rushed towards her with his little short legs, "Aunt~"
Chu Yiyao kissed him on the face in a good mood, children grow the fastest, half a year has passed, and he has grown a lot, but his fleshy little face has lost some weight.
Chu Yingzhu put his little hands around her neck, and on the way to the house, he told her in a milky voice what he thought was interesting, and at the end he didn't forget to show off that he had learned to write those words again, and he waited for Chu Yiyao to praise him with big eyes.
"Our Ying Zhu is the most well-behaved, the smartest, and the best!" Chu Yiyao touched his tender face, his eyes were full of love, that gaze should not be what a teenage girl should have, full of longing, overwhelming.
Her Vile.
There was a sudden tingling in her heart, the last thing Chu Yiyao could not let go of was the three-year-old child, what kind of life would her daughter live when she left, Yan Chengzhi would abandon her, what she was most afraid of was what Chu Miaolan would do to her.
"Aunt~" Chu Yingzhu saw her distracted, pulled her clothes and shouted, Chu Yiyao came back to her senses, the sadness in her eyes didn't have time to take back, she looked at Chu Yingzhu's little face in a daze, and tears fell like this.
"Auntie doesn't cry, Ying Zhu will give you huhu, huhu." Chu Yingzhu stretched out his little hand to wipe her cheek hard, while blowing in the direction of her eyes, Chu Yiyao sat down with him in his arms, took the handkerchief from Baosheng's hand and wiped his tears, and said slightly, "Auntie is fine, be good." ”
"Yesterday the swallows under the eaves were gone, and I was very sad." Chu Yingzhu sat in her arms, holding her little hand in her arms, and said with a tangled face, "Mother also said that they will come back next year." ”
"yes, they'll be back next year." Chu Yiyao touched his hair, "It's just that it's cold now, they have to go to a warmer place, and when the spring flowers bloom next year, they will come back again." ”
Chu Yingzhu seemed to understand whether he understood or not, looked up at Chu Yiyao's eyes were red, and coaxed obediently, "Then don't be sad about your aunt." ”
"Well, my aunt is not sad." Chu Yiyao nodded, and Baosheng on the side only felt that the young lady was thinking of the eldest young master when she saw the little young master.
After playing with Chu Yingzhu in the house for a while, Qiao Cong'an came back, Chu Yiyao was able to follow Chu Zhong to the sea this time, the first person to nod was Qiao Cong'an, the sister-in-law nodded, Chu Duyuan didn't say anything, and the second uncle couldn't say anything, she was the eldest lady of the Chu family, and she was not afraid of accidents when she went to sea together, and others had nothing to stop.
"Sister-in-law, if your uncle and they come early, I have to trouble you to take care of them first." Chu Yiyao counts the days that come and go, and when her uncle and them come over, I'm afraid she is still at sea, "You don't have to live in the Chu family, just find another house outside, and this time the second uncle will come over." ”
"You have to be careful when you go by yourself, I didn't agree to you because you can't do it." Qiao Cong'an said helplessly, even if she didn't agree with Yiyao to go, she would still want to follow her to Datong, from childhood to adulthood, what the sister-in-law decided to do, no one could stop her except her mother.
"I'll take care of myself, sister-in-law, don't worry, there are more invitations in this house in the autumn, if you don't want to go, don't go back, our family is in this situation, you don't have to make a face to show anyone, you just don't bother to stay, let them go." The most important thing in Chu Yiyao's heart is the Chu family, and the rest all retreat, and those in the Treasure Pavilion, she really doesn't have time to care.
"Okay, I know what you said, you follow Uncle Zhong over, you should pay attention to yourself, don't be so reckless, Datong is not like Jinling, if you get off the boat and go out, remember to bring a few more people to follow." Qiao Cong'an whispered, Chu Yiyao nodded in response, took her arm and begged for mercy, "Good sister-in-law, I can't be wrong, I understand what you said, I swear, I will be obedient." ”
Qiao Cong'an poked her forehead lightly and snorted, "I don't know about you yet!" ”…
