Mei'er pondered for a long time and said in a low voice: "Our father, is he disillusioned by the withering of this land? Qing'e, you and your mother have been dependent on each other for many years, your mother must have mentioned the past of the family to you, can you tell me what kind of person my father is? This is something I have longed to know since I was a child, and why did my mother leave this land and raise me in my uncle's house? ”

Qing'e was silent, before her mother's feathering, Yin Yin asked her to apologize to her sister, mother and daughter, her parents and Mei'er's mother's past, her mother has always been vague, thinking that she was ashamed and didn't dare to speak directly to her daughter.

But Qing'e is getting older, after having a husband and children, she occasionally dreams back at midnight, leaning on the window to look at the moonlight, recalling the past, or vaguely guessing the entanglement between the three elders back then, the mother's upper position is quite disgraceful, but the mother is the most gentle and kind person in the world, how can a daughter slander her own mother?

Moreover, before he was born, his father was killed by the people in the heavenly palace, and his mother lived alone in this bitter valley, and her life was lonely and difficult, and she was killed by the emperor after the worst

Mei'er saw Qing'e's face gloomy, but she lowered her eyes and didn't speak, she was quite embarrassed, so she could only stir the belt of her clothes uneasily, waited for a long time, and still didn't see Qing'e open her mouth, and finally couldn't hold it back, shook Qing'e's hand, and said gently: "Qing'e, why don't you speak?" Are there any difficulties? ”

Qing'e secretly pinched her thighs, retracting her chaotic thoughts, she raised her head and looked at Mei'er with an expectant face, and said in a low voice: "I don't know much about my parents' past, my mother is sad that my father died early, and I rarely mention it in front of me, but my mother said to me on the eve of feathering, she is ashamed of one person in this life, that is, your mother, she solemnly instructed me to apologize to your mother and you, Mei'er, I have never mentioned this to you in the past, just because there were many sharp changes at that time, I didn't have time at all, I haven't had a chance to talk to you about it, now."

She stood up, bowed to Mei'er, and said loudly: "Mei'er, I officially say sorry to you and your mother on behalf of my mother, what my mother did hurt your mother back then, but when a person falls into an emotional puzzle, it may be reckless against all consequences, I remember you once said to me, "Qing'e, have you ever really loved someone, if in the future, you will understand, sometimes, knowing that there is a flood beast in front of you, you will still be unable to hold back the desire in your heart, desperate to pursue that love." You also felt this way back then, and it can be seen that emotions sometimes inevitably confuse people's minds and make people blind.

Mei'er was frightened by Qing'e's sudden action, she also knelt opposite Qing'e with a plop, held Qing'e's shoulders with both hands, and said, "Qing'e, what are you doing here?" If you have something to say, don't do that. ”

Qing'e held Mei'er's hand with her backhand, choked and said: "No, Mei'er, I have wanted to tell you these words for a long time, I was ignorant back then, and our sisters missed a lot of good opportunities to talk to each other, when I realized it, you have returned safely now, it must be the blessing of the ancestors, I must say, you listen well, this is my mother's wish." ”

Mei'er's eyes flashed with tears, and she said in a low voice: "I have forgotten all about the past, Qing'e, you say, I listen." ”

Qing'e wiped away the tears on her face and said: "As I grew older, I speculated about this past, it should be like this - your mother is my father's wife, and after my mother accidentally met my father, she was attracted by my father, and then entangled, and the consequence of the entanglement was naturally to hurt your mother, causing your mother to leave your father with hatred...... Maybe at that time, the eldest mother already had you in her womb, but she didn't tell her father, so my father and mother never knew that I also had a sister. And after the eldest mother left her father, she had nowhere to go but to return to her hometown, so she ...... and raised you in your uncle's house. ”

Mei'er was stunned for a long time before she hummed, and then fell to the ground.

This process and this result are too disappointing, Mei'er's heart is bitter, and the warm care of her parents who have been looking forward to it for many years finally turned into a light smoke at this moment, she inhaled the blocked nasal passages, and let the tears drip on the back of her hand.

Qing'e leaned over to help Mei'er up, Mei'er waved her hand and said dejectedly: "Qing'e, what you said is true?" I'm so sad and want to be alone for a while. ”

Qing'e raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears on her face, and said softly: "My father's past is my random speculation, but my mother did have this instruction before she died, Mei'er, no matter what kind of disputes the ancestors had, they have been lost in the dark for many years, we should cherish the present and the future." Those sad pasts, just listen to them. ”

Mei'er hugged her head, for so many years, I hope to see my parents, to be cared for by my parents in my arms, is the greatest desire in my heart, when I was twelve years old, my uncle solemnly handed over the snow sword used by my mother before her death to my hand, a desire in my heart has been shattered, it turned out that my mother has long been feathered into smoke, and today, according to Qing'e's words, maybe my father annihilated earlier than my mother, and, until my father died, I am afraid I don't know that he has another daughter. Is it my father who failed his mother for the sake of Qing'e's mother?

Qing'e stood beside Mei'er in a daze for a while, and her daughter-in-law Bao Xi's timid greeting came from outside the house, she hurriedly answered, walked to the door, and turned back to Mei'er when she was close to the threshold: "Don't drill the horns, these things have actually passed for a hundred years, and it's pointless to think about it." ”

Mei'er raised her head, looked at the silver hair on Qing'e's head with understanding, and just kept asking in her heart: "Why are the people I know have gradually become old, but I am still stuck in a strange state?" Why can't I age as naturally and gracefully as they do? ”

Her eyes drooped, the ground was dripping with mottled tears, and her cold voice carried a faint helplessness: "I know the way, Qing'e, don't worry." ”

Qing'e and her daughter-in-law Bao Xi tossed until noon, and finally prepared a table of sumptuous meals, she sent Bao Xi to the front of the manglin to call everyone back for dinner, Mei'er after several hours of meditation, the mood has returned to calm, she leaned against the small kitchen door, looking at Qing'e's busy figure, feeling embarrassed, wanted to go over to help start, but was pushed out by Qing'e.

"You must not have touched these rough jobs, okay, it's rare to come to my sister's house as a guest, so you just sit obediently and wait for the food to be ready."

Mei'er sneered, Qing'e's words are not false, in the past in the Ice and Snow Villa, her uncle seemed to treat her as his own, there were many palace servants in the villa, and there were several maids such as Xiaolu around her, these jobs had indeed never been touched, after waking up in the heavenly palace, after spending that muddy transition period, the emperor either accompanied her to wander around the palace, travel the mountains and rivers, and cultivate her temperament, or let her concentrate on penance, where the room in the palace is, she is ignorant.

Qing'e was cleaning the dishes and chopsticks, while looking out into the sky, and asked in a low voice: "Mei'er, your husband has the ability to open the valley, won't he come back to eat?" ”

Mei'er looked up at the sky helplessly, frowned and said: "I don't know what to do, I don't care about him, he sucks wind and drinks dew every day, and he is afraid and hungry." ”

Qing'e pursed her lips and smiled, quite curious about whether the dignified emperor and her sister were still holding that awe-inspiring and serious look, looking at Mei'er's delicate appearance, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart that creation makes people, and the same people don't have the same fate.

Thinking of the three words Jiao Didi, Qing'e couldn't help but look at Mei'er a few more times, she stepped forward and gently grabbed Mei'er's wrist, and said, "Yes, do you feel any discomfort after waking up?" ”

Mei'er was surprised, she secretly adjusted her internal breath, felt that the air circulation was smooth, and shook her head: "No!" ”

Qing'e let go of her hand, a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes, she combed Mei'er's hair hanging down her back, and said in a low voice: "Look at you carefully, it seems that you are much thinner than back then, hey, fortunately, there is an emperor by your side, and I don't have to worry about it." ”

Mei'er was moved in her heart, she held Qing'e's hand, and said: "I don't know what went wrong in the middle of the road, I see you today, your life has gone through most of it, but the family can live together, and they are happy, which is also happy!" ”

Qing'e heheed, how can there be a perfect thing in the world? I originally had ten children, but I was bitten by a snake for no reason that year, and when I thought of the three brothers and sisters who died young, Qing'e's eyes suddenly turned red.

"Qing'e, what do you remember? Why are you crying? ”

Qing'e wiped away her tears and said with a forced smile: "It's nothing, it's the mud and dust that are blind." ”

The corners of Mei'er's mouth lifted, she could see that Qing'e was tucking up a sad matter, but she didn't say it, and it was inconvenient for her to ask further.

Zhiben and the others returned to the open space in front of the wooden house with a body full of sawdust and mud, first scooped water to wash their faces, changed their sweat-soaked clothes, and then came over to greet Mei'er one by one.

Jiu'er and the others were very interested in this beautiful aunt who fell from the sky, although the jade tree was in the wind, and the personable uncle did not know where to go, but several of them were still around Mei'er, chattering non-stop, Mei'er's mood suddenly became excited, she now felt that she was still in the age of sixteen or seventeen, and her nephews and nieces who were almost in China were more harmonious than Qing'e, and a group of people were talking and laughing, sitting around the wooden table.

Although Zhiben's heart is full of questions, he is naturally wooden, and he never asks about things that Qing'e doesn't say on weekdays, Qing'e glanced at her husband gratefully, and put a big roasted mushroom into his bowl by the way, and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, children like to chat with their aunts, so you can chat with me, an old woman."
