Shang Rou seemed to feel that she had a long dream, dreaming that she was back to her childhood. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The house was always quiet, and even with countless servants, she still felt very lonely. She stroked the pillars of the verandah, and felt something different.
A little maid held a delicate food box and passed by Shang Rou. Shang Rou turned around and couldn't help frowning, there were actually people who saw her and didn't stop to say hello.
Miss Shang Rou's temper suddenly came up, and she crossed her waist and shouted, "Hey! You're new here, aren't you?! Why don't you say hello when you see me? Believe it or not, I'll let you pack up and leave right away?! ”
The little maid didn't hear it, and still walked quickly with the food box. Shang Rou jumped up angrily and rushed over quickly, no one had ever ignored her, let alone her own subordinates.
She stopped in front of the little maid and glared angrily. And the little maid was expressionless, her eyes were unwavering, she quickly passed through Shang Rou's body and continued to walk forward.
Shang Rou was shocked, she immediately touched her face, and then touched her arm and body, it was indeed real, but others just couldn't see her.
After a moment of panic, she immediately calmed down. She looked around, and since no one could see her, she could just look around, and she hadn't been home for a long time.
The little maid turned around the corner and disappeared, and she didn't bother to pursue it anymore, and walked towards her room with her hands behind her back. The way back to the room could be found even if she closed her eyes, but this time she walked for a long time and didn't see her boudoir, and her brows were furrowed.
Finally, she stopped in front of a yard, there was a ginkgo tree in the yard that was nearly 100 years old, she remembered that she liked this tree very much when she was a child, but then somehow, the tree gradually withered, and she was sad for a long time. At that time, she hid under a dead tree and cried for a long time, and her father came and touched her head and asked her why she was crying so sadly.
She sobbed and said that she was sad for the tree, and she loved it.
The eldest family lovingly picked her up and said to her, then build a boudoir courtyard for Rou'er here, since you like it, you will live here in the future.
Shang Rou raised her head and asked, "Can you keep this tree?"
The patriarch thought about it and gently pinched Shang Rou's face, this tree is withered, it doesn't look good here, our Rou'er is so beautiful, we should plant a more beautiful and prosperous tree.
Will it be more beautiful than this ginkgo tree?
Yes, Daddy will plant a phoenix tree for you, and when the flowers bloom, the garden will be full of flowers, which is very beautiful.
Shang Rou happily hugged everyone's long neck, and said in a milky voice, then listen to Daddy!
Memories poured out, Shang Rou closed her eyes, and three different scenarios, reality, illusory, and memory, overlapped, producing an indescribable sense of mystery.
She opened her eyes again, and there was still the leafy ginkgo tree in front of her, a golden leaf swaying in the wind, shaking off the golden yellow.
Shang Rou combed through her memory, when she was still young, the ginkgo tree had withered, and when she was six years old, her father cut down the ginkgo tree and planted it with a phoenix tree, and the courtyard was renovated, and since then it has become his own boudoir. Then the scene I see now should have happened before I was born.
So whose memory is this? Questions rose from the bottom of my heart, and I was even more curious about this yard. The yard is cleaned, and the occasional withered and fallen leaves have a special style. This is what she has never seen since she was born, but there is a sense of familiarity in the strange.
She walked into the courtyard, her embroidered shoes stepping on the stone slabs covered with fallen leaves, making a gentle grinding sound. Walking into the ginkgo tree, looking up, it seems that it is not as tall as I remembered. When you are young, the trees have withered, but they are still out of reach for yourself.
Reaching out to the trunk of the tree, a strange warm current nourished his spiritual sense. Shang Rou withdrew her hand in surprise, and when she wanted to try again, a voice came from the door not far away.
Shang Rou was startled, and immediately hid behind the big tree, quickly gathered her sleeves together, and hid herself before reacting, and now no one can see her.
She boldly walked out from behind the tree, and quietly walked along the path to the flower bed outside the doorway, just in time to see the little maid with the food box coming out of the boudoir, she held the food box with one hand, and it seemed that the things sent had been placed in the room.
Shang Rou walked out from behind the flower bed, and the little maid still couldn't see her. The little maid didn't squint, and after closing the door, she took the food box and left with broken steps.
Shang Rou couldn't help but be curious, and approached the door softly, and when she was hesitating to push the door, the door was opened again, and Shang Rou jumped to the side in fright.
She clutched her chest and looked at the door in horror, and a noble, well-dressed woman stepped out of it, as if she had put on her cloak in early autumn because of her frailty.
Shang Rou stared at the woman's beautiful face, staring at her eyes and unable to make a sound. The face in front of me is so familiar that you will mistake it for yourself.
Shang Rou's nose was sour, and her mother suddenly appeared in front of her, and she suddenly had mixed feelings in her heart.
When her mother died, she was still in infancy, and she didn't know anything about her mother's appearance, and no one in the huge family even mentioned her mother's name, let alone a portrait.
She once asked her father curiously why no one mentioned her mother, not even a portrait.
She still remembers the lonely look of the eldest parent, and couldn't help but sigh and say to Shang Rou, Daddy loves your mother deeply, and now that she is gone, Daddy doesn't want others to mention it again, I'm afraid it will be sad.
At that time, Xiao Shangrou comforted her father decently, saying that she would accompany her father for her mother.
Shang Rou's smile was a little bitter, all her memories of her mother came from other people's descriptions, her father usually kept silent, and only the old people occasionally remembered the gentle and virtuous housemother.
"Mother......" Shang Rou opened her mouth and called softly.
The woman tightened her cloak, and the lotus step lightly stepped out of the threshold, and stood under the eaves of the porch and looked up at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard. Shang Rou stepped forward and stood quietly beside her, accompanying her in the wind.
Shang Rou rarely showed a sincere smile, even if her mother couldn't see herself, but it was rare to meet her mother in such a way.
A cold wind blew, the woman coughed a few times, and Shang Rou looked nervously at her mother, who held her heart in every move.
"It's fast, it's cold." The woman whispered, her slender fingers caressing her lower abdomen.
Shang Rou stared at her mother's hand, her eyes fell on her bulging lower abdomen, Shang Rou opened her mouth wide, and she couldn't cry or laugh for a while, it seemed that at this time, she was still in her mother's belly.
"If it's a boy, it's called Qi'er, and if it's a girl, it's called Rou'er." The woman smiled sweetly, but there was a trace of sadness between her eyebrows, "Mother may not be with you for long, you have to grow up healthy and be an ordinary good child." ”
Shang Rou listened to her mother's self-talk, and her heart was sad. She replied softly: "Mother, I'm fine, I'm the little lady in the clan, no one will bully me......"
As she spoke, Shang Rou's tears flowed, and she quickly wiped it with her sleeve, but she didn't expect that the more she wiped, the more she couldn't stop. "Mother...... Mother...... I miss you ......."
"Sister Dress." A man's voice rang out suddenly. Shang Rou didn't have time to wipe her tears and looked in the direction of the sound, just as she saw a coarse linen guy appear at the gate.
"Brother Shu?" Guishang asked tentatively.
The little guy has an ordinary face, but his gestures are extraordinary, and this contrast looks very strange. Gui Shu occupied the body of the little servant, and when he saw that there was no one around, he walked into the courtyard. "It's me, I'm coming to see you."
Gui Sheng smiled like a little girl, she took three steps and two steps down the steps, Gui Shu hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "It's all mothers, and it's still so unstable." ”
"Of course I'm happy that my brother is here, it's been a long time since you've come to see me!" Guishang smiled, "How is it, did you tell my father about me?" Can I give birth to this baby? ”
Gui Shu said softly: "Having said that, he said that as long as you complete the task, he can leave other things alone." ”
"Great!" Gui Shang's slightly frowning brows finally relaxed, "Brother Shu, you help me tell my father, I will definitely complete the task and rescue the clansmen!" ”
Gui Shu smiled gently: "The hopes of the clansmen are pinned on you." ”
"I know my mission, don't worry, Brother Shu, I will not live up to the expectations of my clan." Gui Xiang's gaze is firm. (To be continued.) )
