Chapter 31: Mrs. Li
As soon as I got out of the gate of the Yellow Mansion, the fresh rain in early spring was wrapped in cool and dampness, and rushed towards everyone, and the maids and women hurriedly picked up rain gear for their masters. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Brother Xian, I have carried this jade with me for many years, and when I see Qi'er today, I think this child is really close to me, so I should use it as a meeting gift for her."
Mrs. Li gently touched Nalan Qi's black and supple black hair, and carefully untied a piece of exquisite jade from his waist and handed it over.
"Brother Li, how can this be done?" Nalan Junyi glanced at it, and saw that the jade was white and flawless, transparent on both sides, and he knew that it was not an ordinary thing in his heart, so he hurriedly raised his hand to refuse.
"Brother Xian, I won't hide it from you, this jade should have been given to the deceased more than 20 years ago, but I missed the opportunity to regret my life, and there was no way back to cross the beach and water, I..."
Mrs. Li saw that Nalan Junyi was very resolute in pulling and pushing with him, and he didn't seem to be coy, and his heart was anxious. He paused for a moment to explain, a slightly dry smile on his kind face, and his tone was full of regret and loss for the past.
"Alas, to tell you the truth, this jade was given to Qi'er as a meeting gift, and it also ended an old matter on my mind." Mrs. Li's voice became deeper and lower, and she looked at Nalan Junyi with a gloomy expression.
"This" Nalan Junyi frowned, very embarrassed.
"Thank you, Mrs. Li, this Yuqi'er likes it tightly." Nalan Qi, who had been tired of being in his father's arms and burying his head, suddenly interjected crisply, and held the jade pendant with both hands.
"You kid, don't be naughty!" Nalan Junyi was stunned for a moment, and only after a moment did he hurriedly snatch the jade pendant from Nalan Qi's palm, and scolded him softly.
"Father! Since Mrs. Li gave it to me, it should be according to my wishes. ”
Nalan Qixiang pouted angrily, she stretched out her arm and dragged Mrs. Li's wide sleeved robe, raised a bright smile, and said loudly: "Taifu, on weekdays, only the elders in the family who love Chongqi'er will give such a valuable thing to Qi'er, I think you must also love me, if you don't dislike, Qi'er will call you grandpa." ”
"Huh?"
The childish children's voice is like a trickle, and the sound of the new rain falling to the ground in early spring slowly flows in Mrs. Li's ears.
"Good! Good! Call grandpa, call grandpa. ”
He stared at Nalan Qi's delicate little face with a shallow smile, only to feel that the old things that were heavy on his heart suddenly dissipated.
"Brother, this jade is what you said before, a rare thing prepared for the fetus in my womb?"
Somehow, the person he had carefully sealed in his heart reappeared in his mind.
"Brother, you liar! I said that the good gift was in my hands for more than 20 years before I was willing to take it out! But my granddaughter likes it tightly, so I'll forgive you. ”
His sister, sitting by a bubbling stream, stared at him with clear eyes, pursed her lips and smiled!
As in his memory, the child was still a delicate and bright girl, and when he smiled, shallow pear vortices appeared on both sides of his mouth, and he was so full of energy that the mist that lingered around the stream had dispersed.
"Alas, it's been more than 20 years, and it's still like a flur-headed goose. Brother, come here. ”
Mrs. Li seemed to be in the clouds and fog, walking forward in a daze.
"Silly melon!" The kid pounced on him, hugged him tightly, and buried his head in his placket, "Brother, I'm leaving, I can't accompany you anymore, can I say goodbye to me..." ”
Mrs. Li felt that his front placket was wet with cold tears, and his heart was ups and downs, he sobbed his lips, but the word goodbye was tightly stuck in his throat and couldn't spit it out.
"Brother, remember here? When you were young, you always liked to sit by this stream, reading and painting, and I, just lying aside, fluttering butterflies and playing in the water, and when the moon was bright and the stars were scarce, we would go home together.
Brother, you know what? Come back here, smell the ink on your body again, and my soul will be at peace. I'm going to travel far away, can I say goodbye? ”
"Goodbye"
In March of the 60th year of pouring ink, on a cloudy day with a gentle drizzle, Mrs. Li was finally relieved.
"Grandpa, grandpa, didn't you have such a cheap granddaughter as me, and you couldn't speak with joy?"
The childish childish voice brought Mrs. Li back to his senses, and he blinked to hide the dampness in it.
"No wonder your father always says you're a little leather monkey, look at your cleverness." Mrs. Li stretched out two fingers, gently tapped Nalan Qi's smooth and full forehead, and said with a smile.
"Brother Xian, since the child likes it, don't say anything about this jade with me. I'll go back to the house to deal with some business first, and you can quickly send the child to Doctor Miao's place and let her take a look. He bowed down again to say goodbye to Nalan Junyi.
"Grandpa, do you want to write an excerpt when you go home? I heard others say that you are a good man, but you have to say a few words for my brother Yuze. ”
Nalan Qi didn't wait for his father to answer, so he hurriedly bowed to Li Taifu twice, his eyes full of flattery.
If others say this flattery, it will definitely make people disgusted, but Nalan Qi looks innocent and romantic, and his voice is crisp and pleasant, but he looks cute and cute, which makes Mrs. Li laugh.
"Write an excerpt? A few words for Yuze? What does this mean? Nalan Junyi lowered his head and looked at Nalan Qi, and then raised his eyes to look at Mrs. Li, looking extremely confused.
"Father, don't you know? Just now in Huangfu, the younger brother proposed to levy half of the officials' family guards to go to Quanzhou City to fight the disaster, in order to solve their urgent needs. Nalan Qi straightened his waist and leaned into his father's ear to explain to him.
"Levy guards?" Nalan Junyi's eyes moved slightly, and between the lightning and flint, he had already figured out the stakes, and he only felt a pound in his heart.
He didn't care about the hypocrisy of the literati on weekdays, frowned and hurriedly ran a few steps, and grabbed Mrs. Li, who was about to get into the sedan chair.
"What's the matter with Brother Xian?" Mrs. Li was stumbled by this sudden pull, but after stabilizing his figure, he was not annoyed, and asked gently.
In a moment, Nalan Junyi had calmed down, and he took a long breath and said, "Brother Li, I do have a reluctant request for my brother. But it's not convenient to talk here, can you delay some effort to go to the Red Sleeve Pavilion to talk to me? I rushed the child back to the hospital as soon as I could, and the two places were close to each other. ”
"Okay" Mrs. Li didn't ask anything, so she nodded and agreed.
"Father", Nalan Qi gently tugged the hem of Nalan Junyi's clothes, and said seriously: "I'll go to the hospital by myself and let the maid accompany me." ”
"No" Nalan Jun wanted to answer, but he only felt that the dark pupils of the young girl in his arms were clear, and he suffocated again. This girl seems to know what he thinks in his heart, and she is weirdly tight!
"Go yourself, but be careful." He glanced at Nalan Qi suspiciously, and explained softly.
