Chapter 10: Night Talk 1
After dinner, Lan Xi took the travelogue and read it crookedly on the couch. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info turn to be on duty at night, but today this girl seems to have something on her mind, always frowning lightly, absent-minded. Lan Xi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't speak, there are some things that he has to figure out by himself. Lan Xi is already determined to change the trajectory of her previous life, everything in her previous life, including the fate of the people around her, and Liuyan, under the premise of unquestionable loyalty, is her right-hand man in doing things. And before that, Liuyan had to open his own mind in order to become Lanxi's help.
The night breeze was slow, and there was a faint sound of three beats, and the smoke woke up from his contemplation, and hurriedly walked to the low couch of the carved red lacquer Sui Han Sanyou, "Girl, it's late at night, you should rest!" ”
Lan Xi's gaze was still fixed on the book, and the corners of his pale pink mouth bent slightly in an upward arc, "I still have to wait for someone!" ”
Liuyan frowned, at this hour, let alone the second door, that is, the doors of each courtyard have been locked, but the girl said that she would wait for someone, who are you waiting for? Her girl's behavior today is really a bit unpredictable.
As Liuyan thought so, there were two soft knocks on the door, and the little girl's surprised gaze looked at the humanoid shadow projected on the ice-cracked glass door.
"Is the girl sleeping?"
It turned out to be Dong's mother! She breastfed the girl once, and she has always taken the girl seriously, even if she sleeps on weekdays, she doesn't worry about coming to take a look. Liuyan felt that it was nothing, but when she turned around, she saw her girl slightly hooking her pink lips, smiling, and there seemed to be some mysterious meaning on her obviously immature face, she opened her lips, full of doubts after all.
Over there, Lan Xi didn't see Liuyan's expression change at all, and gently closed the book in her hand, didn't the people she was waiting for come?
"Flowing smoke, why don't you invite your mother in?" Qingyang Lan's has always been a rule, since Lanxi was eight years old, he only called Dong's mother like this in front of people, only in private, and occasionally called the nurse!
Liuyan answered in a low voice, opened the door, and let Dong's mother into the room.
"Girl, you were uncomfortable last night, and the old slave really can't let go of it, so come and take a look! You haven't rested yet, but don't you feel uncomfortable again, right? "Mother Dong has changed into a homely green cloth shirt and lotus pigment skirt, covered with an autumn-colored eight-treasure pattern gown, and her hair is just casually curled, isn't it just a look that has been rested, but is it worried and come to take a look? Lan Xi couldn't help but smile when she saw it in her eyes, and secretly praised in her heart that the nurse was doing things properly.
"It's okay, but I just haven't been sleepy yet, so I'm flipping through the book at will. Since my mother is here, let's talk to me for a while! Flowing smoke, I'm afraid there are still small points made in the small kitchen earlier, you go and see, don't hesitate to anything, pick up two plates, and make me and my mother two cups of rose honey. ”
Is this to break her apart? Could it be that the person the girl is waiting for is really Mother Dong? Liuyan thought in his heart, but his face was not visible, and in response, he walked out of the door quickly, and quietly closed the door.
"What the hell is in the girl's mind? I have to give the old slave a sound! The quiet sound of footsteps went away on the porch, Lan Xi gathered his clothes, half-sat up from the low couch, and motioned for Dong's mother to sit on the embroidered pier in front of the couch. can sit firmly, Dong's mother did not delay, and asked the doubts that had been hidden in her heart for half a day. She didn't believe the girl's words about training the girl, and before, the girl's eyes when she looked at the boiling snow were very meaningful.
"I knew that the nurse would come to ask me, so I waited for the nurse just to tell you." If it weren't for this tacit understanding, she wouldn't have been waiting here late at night. As for what to say, she already had a general idea earlier. "Nurse, you said, in this deep house compound, although I am all close relatives, blood is thicker than water, but I have never been close to my grandmother, and my father can't care about the affairs in this inner courtyard, my uncles and aunts are finally separated by a layer, and the only one who can rely on is my mother. What if one day I lose my mother's protection? ”
"Girl, why did you suddenly ....." Mother Dong was very surprised that Lan Xihui, who had always been dustless under her eyes, suddenly understood her situation, and thought so deeply and so far.
"Nurse, this is not sudden, you and I both know what Mrs. Yi looks like now, what...... It can happen. "As for what that means, they all know it." Actually, I've been scared these days. Maybe I was so scared that I had a dream last night. Dream about her mother...... Later, my father married a new wife, who was very good at being a man, and she was so good to me that she couldn't fault me, and even her father praised her, saying that she treated her children well and was virtuous...... "but behind the scenes...... Of course, it wasn't a dream, so Lan Xi knew very well that she was as simple as a blank sheet of paper, and everything she suffered under those means thought of the Wang family, and remembered the years when she was struggling to breathe under her...... Lan Xi couldn't help but shudder.
Mother Dong has already turned white, although Lan Xi didn't make it very clear, but Mother Dong has been immersed in this inner house for many years, what don't you understand? Even if Lan Xi said that it was just a dream, Dong's mother also knew that if the third wife took it seriously...... Then it could be a nightmare.
No way! Not to mention begging for a living under the hands of a ruthless stepmother, life and death are all up to people, that is, the eldest daughter who has lost her mother does not marry, and if her girl wants to marry a good family, it will be difficult to climb to the sky. Mother Dong shook her head vigorously and excitedly, no! You must not let your own girl come to this point.
"Girl, what are you going to do?"
"I don't know!" Lan Xi shook his head helplessly, "At least you can't be deaf or blind in this inner courtyard...... Also, I have to be close to my grandmother, and she can protect me when it is critical! But most importantly, the mother of her....... I can't let my mother have an accident! ”
Third Wife...... The third wife, that's a heart disease! If she is determined to go, who can stop her? In the past few years, hasn't she just been suffering? Even the affairs of children are no longer as attentive as before. Third Wife...... In the final analysis, he is actually a selfish person who only thinks of himself, completely ignoring the life and death of his children. It's just that Mother Dong only muttered this in her heart, and finally swallowed it and didn't say it, but just sighed for a while, "Girl, don't worry, no matter how bad it is, there are still old slaves!" ”
While widening Lanxi's heart, Dong's mother secretly pondered the connections in her hands, as well as the old relationships in various courtyards that had been silent for many years, which ones could be moved first. In short, since even the girls are young and realize that they are in a dangerous situation in the future, they must be prepared for what should be prepared, at least, not too passively.
Lan Xi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and two smiles appeared on his face.
"Girl, where is the snow boiling...... Do you have any arrangements? ”
