Chapter 17: Departure
The tears in Chen's eyes dripped on the Buddhist beads in his hand, blooming and shattering. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Her heart, wrapped in a layer of hard stone, was broken.
Reaching out to hold her daughter's soft little hand, she looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Did my sister-in-law come by sedan chair or carriage today?" ”
"Carriage, carriage, I have brought my monthly offerings to the temple today, it is a carriage to sit in." My aunt replied in surprise.
Since my aunt and grandmother asked the carriage, they are going back to the house together.
It's wonderful, it's wonderful.
Chen nodded and ordered, "You all go down and pack up, and you will all go back to Chen's Mansion in an hour." ”
Zhou's mother wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve and bowed down to promise.
Mother Song bowed down and answered, raised her head and asked, "Madam, Miss's clothes are thin, do you want to change Miss into a thick coat." ”
Chen had never taken care of Liu Ya, and she didn't know how to dress children, so she nodded obediently and ordered, "You take Miss to change her clothes, take good care of Miss, bring everything you should bring, and don't leave anything behind." ”
Song's mother agreed again.
Liu Ya greeted her obediently and followed Song's mother back to the side yard where she lived.
Mother Song went to Xuanfu City yesterday and had already inquired about the Chen and Liu families.
The one who came to see Mrs. today is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family's big house, Ou Shi, who is also the wife of Mrs.'s brother-in-law Chen Yun, and the sister-in-law and aunt.
It has been almost five years since Mrs. and her sister returned to Xuanfu City, and on weekdays, the Chen family will send people to visit from time to time, and also worship in the temple, and secretly take care of Chen's mother and daughter, but they are all acting in secret. Like today, I came to invite each other openly, and it was the first time that a really big girl got on the sedan chair.
The Liu family has ignored the mother and daughter for many years.
If it is compared, it is naturally that the Chen family is more kind.
But this inexplicable sudden invitation, she was always a little uneasy in her heart.
Mother Song was a little absent-minded and packed up for Liu Ya.
Liu Ya doesn't have many things, a few clothes, two or three pieces of jewelry, and a small bag of elegant brocade cloth will be packed neatly.
Mother Song freshened up Liu Ya again, looked left and right, and felt that there was nothing wrong, so she called Hongye to move a small stool and sit under the eaves and hugged Liu Ya and whispered.
"My sister followed my wife back to see my grandmother and uncle this time, I must remember to be polite, talk less, watch more, and see what others do if I don't understand. That's your own grandmother and uncle, and they won't blame you for what you did badly. Sisters should be more filial to their grandmothers, wives and uncles. Blood is thicker than water, and it seems to be a relative. ”
Liu Ya listened to Song's mother sigh in peace, blood was thicker than water, and her heart turned over the river and the sea.
The second uncle is also a relative connected to her, but in the end, he personally sent the daughters of the Liu family out one by one, the relatives were given to others as wives, and the next room was sent to be a continuation of the room, and an orphan girl like her was directly given to someone to make an outer room.
Is this blood thicker than water?
Blood is thicker than water, how could her own mother be willing to let her be a concubine, how could she lock her up in the backyard for more than ten years, and how could she hide from her biological son and force the parent-child couple to turn against her.
Blood thicker than water is just an excuse.
Without interests, these people will not be good to her, and it is a blessing that they can not harm her.
Compared with these people, Mother Song is the only one who treats her well.
Liu Ya nodded obediently, hugged Mother Song's arm and said, "Nurse, don't leave me, you are the best for me, if you are with me, I will also be filial to the nurse." ”
Hongye packed up her things and jumped out, and when she heard Liu Ya's words, she hugged Mother Song's other arm heartlessly and said, "I will also be filial to my mother, be good to my mother, and I will also be with my mother." ”
Liu Ya's little face lit up, nodded, and praised Momiji, "Momiji is right, we'll be together." ”
Song's mother was speechless.
These two children are really good children.
But servants, maids, and young ladies, how come there is no spectrum for this identity gap? Red leaves, this girl is neither big nor small, there is no difference between high and low, sooner or later she will get into trouble, so I have to talk to her.
Mother Song made a straight face, stared at Hongye and said, "You are a girl who sells your body, you are a subordinate, you can't talk and act like this." When you go out of this courtyard, you should call yourself Miss and Madame, and when you see people, you must bow to others, and you must not speak without being commanded. ”
She thought about it and felt that what she said was a bit general, I was afraid that Hongye would not understand, so she hurriedly added, "You promise me that when you go out of this courtyard, you won't speak if no one asks, no matter who asks, you only promise." ”
Hongye puffed out her cheeks, and stared at Song's mother angrily to express her dissatisfaction, neither saying good nor bad.
Liu Ya knew that this was for the good of Hongye, if she talked nonsense, with Mother Song and her situation, most likely she would not be able to protect this girl.
She looked at the red leaves and smiled, and persuaded softly, "The nurse is for your good, if you don't listen to the nurse, you can't follow us to my grandmother's house, if you stay here alone, you will definitely miss us." ”
Momiji Gulu rolled his eyes, nodded with a pout, and said, "I listen to Miss, and I will do whatever Miss says." ”
Mother Song burst out laughing.
A little kid still wants to save face, and he turns around and says that he listens to Miss, it's really stubborn.
But what she wants is for this child to be good to Liu Ya and accompany Liu Ya, and she is right.
She nodded, instructed Momiji to carry the burden, and took Liu Ya to Madame's courtyard with her.
Chen had already packed up and was drinking tea with Ou.
Hearing Qiu Ju replying to Mother Song, she nodded, and didn't wait for anyone to enter the house again. She and O's got out of the room first.
Ou Shi took a few steps down, bent down and picked up Liu Ya, slapped her face with pity, and turned back to Chen Shi, "The carriage stopped at the bottom of the mountain, I ordered someone to carry a soft sedan chair to pick it up, sister sit with me, I am rare sister, it is really warm to hold her." ”
Chen, who had changed into a light blue brocade velvet satin shirt, stood under the eaves, and the pale yellow sunlight of autumn slanted from a corner, hitting her body, casting a halo of pale yellow.
She combed a simple oblique bun, and a golden hairpin with a little green was inserted in the bun. The big apricot eyes on her thin little face flickered with a hint of an imperceptible smile, which made her eyebrows, which usually looked cold, suddenly smart.
Euclitive was a little shaken.
Just a simple change of clothes, how did this aunt change all of a sudden.
What a beauty, worthy of being one of the four beauties of Jiangnan.
Liu Ya didn't think Chen was beautiful, she had a portrait of Chen when she grew up in her previous life, and she didn't feel much when she looked at it now. She was surprised that Chen was much younger, and if she looked like this, she was only twenty, but if her eyes were more vivid, she would probably look even younger.
Chen didn't know what everyone thought, and if she knew, I am afraid that she would immediately change back to the layman clothes and shoes she wore all year round.
She nodded in response to Ou's words, and led the three or two servants and girls out of the Red Leaf Temple.
