Chapter 6 Sisters' Night Talk, Strange Lives
"Xiange, how could you get hurt?" On my birthday, I was recuperating in my room when I heard the sound of a silver branch outside the door. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The young master was sympathetic, and specially went to the eldest lady to ask Yinzhi to come and see me, and talk well. Knowing that she was coming over tonight, I was also waiting for her in advance, and I hadn't seen her in a long time. Fortunately, these days, Yinzhi's body is slowly getting better, doing some embroidery work every day, it is much easier than in the laundry room, and these days I have taken a lot of medicine, and I am no longer as sick as before.
"Yinzhi, come here, I heard the young master say in the afternoon, you can come and see me, I've been waiting! We haven't seen each other in a long time. "Seeing Yinzhi coming, I am naturally very happy, I have always been unable to let go of her, and now that she has survived those hard days, I feel better.
"I originally wanted to come over earlier, but the eldest lady's clothes went wrong and were delayed for a while." Silverbranch walked over to my couch and sat down on the side, tucking the corners of the quilt for me.
"What's going on, how did the clothes go wrong? What's the trouble? ”
"It's okay, it's just a piece of clothing that Miss was supposed to wear on the general's birthday tonight, but somehow it cracked, no, Miss remembered it, let a few of our embroiderers make up for it now, and make up a pattern in the crack."
"How can a good garment rip?" To be honest, the matter of the young ladies in the backyard is really embarrassing, although the lady did not treat a few other young ladies and sons harshly, but there are always people who are unwilling to live under others, and something happens at the end of the three days.
"Who knows who did it! Hey, don't talk about this, how did you get hurt? ”
"I, I don't know what's going on, I don't know who knocked me unconscious that day in the peach forest, and I suffered this disaster inexplicably." Regarding the matter of meeting Hulun Gongzi in Taolin, the young master instructed me not to spread the word, so I had to hide it.
Yinzhi pulled me by the collar and looked at the wound on my neck, and saw that the back of my neck was bruised, "Oh, how did this hurt so badly, and it hurts to look at the wound, why did you suffer this disaster...... Can the third young master hire a doctor for you? What did the doctor say? But what should I pay attention to? As he spoke, tears appeared in his eyes, and he was even more uncomfortable than when he was sick.
"Isn't it okay for me! The young master has invited a doctor to come and see him, and he specially troubled the apprentice of the doctor to help me see the injury, and I am fine. You don't have to worry either. "Looking at Yinzhi's appearance, I really can't say that my wound still hurts terribly, how can I be so cruel to my best friend!
"How does this look like it's good? That is, you are lying to me. The apprentice of the miracle doctor is also a skilled doctor, and she is also relieved to see it, but don't leave any scars at the root, you have to take care of it. "Yinzhi doesn't seem to be at ease, so he just wants to take care of me until the injury heals." Don't say I'm talkative, it's just that you're stubborn, and you used to be too, even when you were tired like that, you didn't say anything, you were covered in injuries, who did you deceive? After all, I was the one who caused you at that time. Why do you keep helping me! ”
"Don't say that, how miserable were those days? If you are bitter, you are the first person to be good to me here, you sewed my clothes for me, you took care of me when I was sick, and you helped me keep food when I worked late. If you're not good to me, I'll be good to you! We're good sisters, don't say that in the future! ”
"Well, we've always been good sisters, always!" Looking at this girl, I don't want to do those things, I'm also relieved, Yinzhi has a gentle temperament, speaking of which, I have always felt that she doesn't seem to be a current person's life, but who hasn't clicked on it! is also too gentle, always treating herself as a burden, and her mind is always heavier, and I have always been worried that she will think wildly.
"Speaking of which, in a few months, it will be the eldest lady's courtesy, didn't the lady say that when the young lady and the lady will do the family affairs. I don't know what will happen then. You don't know what to do in the future? You can't marry with the young lady! "I'm a little worried about what will happen to Silverbranch.
"Of course not, I heard from the people in the young lady's room that it should be the young lady's eldest maid, Qiyun and Frost, who will follow the young lady, and there may be a few that the lady will arrange for the young lady! Anyway, it has nothing to do with us embroiderers. ”
"It's okay, it's not a good thing what's going on with this wedding girl, and besides, it's not like them who grew up with their master!"
"yes, it's not good. Just look at the eldest lady and the second lady like that, I don't know what the idea is all day long, and I don't know the face of the general's mansion when it's like that. Yinzhi took a plate of snacks from the case, "Here, I'll bring it to you, try it." ”
"This one is delicious. I liked it the most! Silver Branch, you're so nice! "This snow cloud flake is also a snack that the chef in the house is good at, and I have also followed the young master to dip it, but the young master doesn't like sweets, and I haven't had the opportunity to taste it so many times.
"You said the eldest lady and the second miss? What's going on again? "I'm still curious about the two young ladies.
"Isn't that just that, it's either this or that all day long, and the matter of that dress a few days ago is not the same thing. I heard that there were foreign men in and out of the yard of the second lady yesterday, and the sneaky climb over the wall to get in at night, and was seen by the night patrol, but he didn't hold it, and I heard that it was in front of the master. ”
"How could this happen? That's a fatal event! ”
"It's not, Aunt Qing is very close to the eldest lady for a while, and three days have passed. It seems that he is starting to get restless. ”
"Is that the fourth lady?"
"That's half a young lady."
In Yan Kingdom, there are clear hierarchies, especially the dignity and humility of the family, the aunts and concubines are all slaves, even the princess and the lady who are out of the house are only half of the masters, and the second young master in the house is the child born to the general's concubine Ma, just because he was young, he entered the military camp, and with the general fighting in the south and the north, he was also a young talent, so he entered the Zongdi and hung it under the name of the original lady, which is regarded as a son-in-law, and the other two young masters are ranked. This is a real military achievement, not to mention those restless young ladies in the backyard all day long.
"That's true, Yinzhi must also be vigilant in the eldest lady's courtyard, don't get involved in those things, let's try to do things well and have a good way out."
"Yes, I will pay attention, if I can enter the embroidery room in the future, it is good to get the master's mercy and release from the house, I don't have to be a slave for a lifetime, and I will be a slave for generations."
The two of us ate snow cloud flakes, I also took some dried fruits, and after talking for a long time, listening to the movement outside the door, I thought that it should be the young master who came back, and hurriedly put on a coat and went out to have a look.
It was the end of March, and the weather was still chilly, not to mention that it was already so late, and there was a biting chill outside the door. I took a big cloak, and when I saw that the young master came in, he was also covered in cold, so I hurriedly handed it to the young master to warm up first.
"Didn't you bring a cloak with you when you went out! Why don't you use it, young master, it's still cold this weather, what if you catch a cold! "Looking at the young master's appearance, I glanced at Qingyun.
"But no, the young master gave his clothes to the fifth young master, saying that the fifth young master couldn't help but feel cold when he was young, and he didn't want to think about himself!" Qingyun had a lot of complaints about the young master's approach, and he didn't dare to say anything directly.
"Okay, I'm looking at the youngest five years young, and there is no one around me who is dedicated, and I'm afraid that I will come back in the middle of the night and make noise about you to rest. That's it! It was still the same shallow and faint voice, but now there was always an imperceptible smile in the tone.
"Master, look at what you said, we are slaves, we naturally have to do our best for you, how can I rest so early, you can't joke with your body in the future!" I pushed the young master back to the room, cut the charcoal basin that had been prepared a long time ago, and took a small hand stove and put it next to the young master.
"Well, got it! Your injury is not healed, go back and rest, just let Qingyun serve you. ”
"Got it, master, are you still going to bathe after the mattress is laid for you?"
"Go and rest, go down!" Seeing that I was still on the side, the young master drove me away again. Directly call Qingyun to come in and serve.
Today, Gu's sister-in-law also took a vacation, and went back to see her husband, the huge Shuyun Garden was empty, and at night she could only hear the sound of running water on the rockery in the yard. I went to the kitchen to cook some sugar water, thinking that it would be good to wake up my grandfather.
Add white fungus lily lotus seeds, put a little bit of pearl rice, and then there are Gu's sister-in-law's pickled dates, which are not complicated and save time, the young master has always disliked drinking, it seems that today is also the general's birthday, and there is also a smell of wine on his body, this porridge soup he also likes on weekdays, it is not sticky, and the taste is refreshing, and now it is the best way to relieve hangover.
I asked Yu Su to send the silver branch back, it was really uneasy to be alone at such a late hour, I could have been knocked with a stick in the daytime the day before yesterday, let alone that it was already night.
"I'm sorry for you, Yusu, I left you a white fungus porridge in the kitchen, you can drink some too!"
"Xiaoge, then I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you when I have time, you can take care of your injuries." Trouble this big brother. ”
Yusu was still the same cold and unapproachable appearance, watching the two of them go farther and farther away, gradually disappearing into the darkness. I also turned around and went back to the small kitchen, sent the porridge soup with just the right temperature to the young master's room, and persuaded him to use some of it.
The Shuyun Garden was quiet at night, and I was lying on the bed, the wound was always painful, so I had to slowly stand next to it. Somehow, my mind returned to the tea mushroom township, I watched the life of my father and mother as a bystander, the beautiful dancing girl who was in a foreign land, and the poor Xiucai who had no ambition, so I became a parent, I watched them have a child, and watched the two baby girls fall to the ground. One is smart and dexterous, and the other is cold and has different eyes. watched them fight from childhood to adulthood, watched their family's life, watched poor Xiucai buy medicine for his wife, looked at the woman who couldn't see her beautiful face when she was seriously ill, watched her get pregnant again, and watched those two girls being sold to traffickers......
I don't know what I remember all these years, but those times are so far away for me, and I can't remember the faces of the couple or the call for their parents. In this dream, I seem to see all these years of hatred, but everything is empty. I looked at that family through the eyes of a bystander, and I had long forgotten that it was also my home, my experience.
I've always known that there are things that are different from other children, the images, the scriptures, and even the memories that have been in my mind since I was born...... I don't even know where I'm from.
I remember that year, a lame monk traveled to the village and made a fortune in the village on the grounds of fortune-telling. People there couldn't tell the truth from the fake, most of them went to ask for a lot, and people held their destiny as if that beautiful vision had been realized. A couple of children were playful and followed him by his side. By chance I saw his eyes, and for a long time, I only had those eyes, and I saw a lot of them from where, and remembered the images that existed in my dreams that I would not normally think about. Those eyes contained too much for me to read, but I remembered that he had not given orders in the village, and had left leisurely with the rag bag.
"The Li family has a daughter, born in troubled times, calamity to the country and demonstrative face, and fate is evil. Little girl, this is your sister's life, whether you believe it or not, the old man is gone, as for you, the old man can't see through it, I don't dare to look at ......it."
Looking at the departing old monk, I only heard these words echoing in my head. Looking at that person, I seemed to have an urge to uncover the secret, so I had to forget it after all.
My sister looks exactly the same as me, but she has a pair of beautiful black eyes, she has been smart and clever since she was a child, and she is also beautiful, I let my eyes be purple, inheriting my mother's appearance, since I was a child, I was discriminated against by the children in the village, but I was a little withdrawn, and no one came to mess with me.
Tonight, I thought of her again, and I also remembered the words of the monk, "Disaster to the country and evil face, fate to bring evil" What kind of fate experience can make a woman like this?
Yu Jin, Yu Jin, what are you like now?
