Chapter 31: Night Talk
Huiyun and Huizhu Huilan went back to the courtyard after separation, and this time she looked up at the orchid garden but felt that it was an eyesore for no reason. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When she returned to the house, she saw her aunt eating peach gum on the soft couch, and she felt sick in her heart when she was drunk.
And they took their monthly money and fed her mouth and face. The maid of this orchid garden is lazy, and it is not without reason that she can't even get a copper plate for a reward when she is on an errand here.
She had seen Illan give a reward, and half a copper coin was rewarded so lightly, and the people in the courtyard said that the four girls were generous. She also wants to be like Edlan, she can reward the maid and the maid, she can dress decently, and the housekeepers and servants in the house are better dressed than hers.
The more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and on a winter night, she wanted to drink a sip of hot tea for a long time, and the maids who kept vigil pretended not to hear. Not to mention that when she is hungry at night, she can ask the kitchen to cook for her, but she just eats a few parfait cakes with tea to cushion her stomach.
These aunts don't care about her at all, she only cares about her pampering, and she hopes to give birth to a boy.
Huiyun thought that her eyes were full of tears, and she looked at Aunt Yan with hatred. After Aunt Yan noticed her gaze, she quickly ate all the peach gum, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief before standing up and walking towards Huiyun.
There was no warmth in her eyes, and the corners of her mouth hooked a sneer: "What are you staring at me?" If you were born a man, where would I be so pitiful? If you are a brother, my honor is the first in this Su family! Isn't it all because you don't fight? What's the use of staring at me? ”
Huiyun only felt that thousands of needles in his heart had been pierced at the same time, and he was so distressed that he couldn't breathe. Tears could not be held back any longer, rolling down the placket of her plain clothes, blurring her eyes.
It shouldn't have hurt a long time ago, it shouldn't have hurt a long time ago. She said to herself in her heart, you shouldn't be distressed anymore, she is not your aunt.
The oppressive atmosphere made Huiyun unable to bear it any longer, and she rushed out of the door. In the desperate run, she remembered the grievances she had suffered since she was a child, and thought of her aunt's resentment and indifference to her, and her heart tightened.
Did she think she was fine? She saw with her own eyes that the mother-in-law who gave her peach gum and ejiao secretly took the contents of her bowl, took a spoon and ate half of it, and then mixed it with water and boiled it for a while. Or the mother-in-law she beat and scolded, secretly spitting into her bowl.
When Huiyun thought of this, his heart seemed to feel a little more comfortable. She didn't notice that she was quietly changing. Her life took a turn for the worse when she was eight years old.
What about an eight-year-old? She fell to the ground, and on the day she was eight years old, Hulan was taking refuge in the summer, and her aunt didn't remember it at all, only Huizhu gave her a bead flower. And on Hulan's birthday last year, Su Zijin and Zhao gave her things together with the old lady Huitong, and the red, green, and green jade dazzled her eyes, how could there ever be those things in her box?
She raised her head and looked at the blue transparent sky unwillingly, why, the same sisters, the same Su Zijin's blood and bones, her situation and theirs are so different?
She was not reconciled.
After dinner, the old lady took her to look at the ledger as usual. Take her into the house and hand her a booklet and a few keys.
The booklet is bound in blue thread, but when Edan opens it, it is a detailed record of the old lady's private property in other places. She was stunned and looked at the old lady.
The old lady smiled at her and said, "Four girls, don't ask grandmother anything." Grandmother gave you these things, and grandmother was relieved. ”
She paused and continued: "This Su family's things, grandmother is inconvenient to leave more for you. But these things are the dowry given to you by your grandmother. With these private properties, as well as my private treasury, even if you marry into the Hou Sect, you will definitely be able to hold your head up. They don't dare to bully you as a concubine, they will only be the god of wealth and offer to you. ”
"You keep these things well, and you can't let anyone know, even if it's your future father-in-law. You can only let him know two or three, and the rest has to be held tightly in your hands. That's all I can think of for you, grandmother. ”
Hulan looked at the old lady, she was afraid of when she went, and did not give her the things. I am afraid that her things have been taken away by the Zhao family, and she will be despised without a rich dowry.
This is her grandmother, her ...... Grandmother. Painted Orchid's eyes were slightly moist, and then carefully took the booklet and key, and then looked at the old lady and said solemnly: "Painted Orchid will live well, grandmother, Painted Orchid will never be weak and be bullied into the mud." ”
The old lady looked at her and said with a smile: "Good boy, Eloon is a good child, grandmother has always known it. ”
The spring rain continued for a few days, and the peach blossoms swayed in the rain, but it was rumored that Aunt Chun of Xinna had made a mistake and was grounded by Su Zijin. When Helan heard the news, she didn't say anything. No one can take care of the affairs in this house. She just needs to guard her grandmother and live a good life. What happens in the world outside Jincuiju has nothing to do with her.
Something terrible is coming slowly in the midst of such calm and calm.
It was a very ordinary day, the weather was excellent, and the peach blossoms were slowly thanking. After leaving school, Hulan walked on the road and carried the homework assigned by the master. The little girl next to the old lady, Su'er had red eyes, and ran to stop her in a panic, and before she opened her mouth, she was already crying.
Illan watched her cry, her heart sank, and she felt that she had trouble touching the corners of her mouth.
"What's wrong?"
Su'er cried and said, "Old lady, the old lady is dying." Four girls, let's go and have a look! ”
The book in Echoan's hand fell to the ground, and she ran forward as hard as she could, and kept running. I think that the old man on the verge of life and death can wait for her, wait for her, just for a while.
No matter how fast Illan ran, by the time she ran to Jincuiju, she had already heard a yard of crying. Her feet softened, and she cried out heartbreakingly: "Grandmother! ”
How did Illan get to the old lady's room, she didn't know, she just felt that her brain was chaotic, and the noise filled her eardrums with a loud noise, and only Aunt Mei's voice she could hear clearly.
Aunt Mei said that when the old lady was leaving, she called Qing'er and Huilan.
Painted Lan's tears fell fiercely, and she knelt in front of the old lady's bed and kowtowed three times.
First, thank her for her mercy. Without her mercy, she might have died at the hands of the Zhao family.
Second, thank you for her sincere teaching. Let her understand human feelings and know how to advance and retreat. Tell her that she can't be blindly tolerated in the house, and she can't be arrogant.
Third, I wish her a good journey, Huangquan Lechuan, and a smooth pass.
She felt ashamed of her daughter all her life, so in the season when her daughter died, she also died.
She gave all her sustenance and hope to Eilan, as if her daughter had been reborn, for fear that she would not be good in the future, and gave her all her money a few days before she died.
After kowtowing, Illan fainted to the ground without warning.
