Chapter 18 Mother and Daughter Heart-to-Heart
At night, Zhang Yuxia slept very deeply and steadily. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info have no dreams all night.
When I opened my eyes, it was already a red sun.
The veil of the cage bed floated slightly, and Kwai Zhi, who was guarding the side of the couch, knew that Zhang Yuxia woke up, and Kwai Zhi neatly gathered the veil on both sides. "Miss must have been tired yesterday, and she slept very well this time." ”
Kwai Lan and the other two little girls served Zhang Yuxia to get up and dress, and said with a light smile, "Miss slept well, and her face is much better, transparent and ruddy like fruit, which makes people want to take a bite to relieve their hunger." ”
"You mouth, and you're playing tricks. What a noble person the young lady is, how can she stand such nonsense from you. Kwai Zhi held back a smile, glanced at Kwai Lan, and said angrily.
"Kwai Lan, your skin is a lot thicker, and you can make a drum face when you tear it off. It must be strong and durable. Zhang Yuxia couldn't help but quarrel with this mouthy little girl.
"Miss, you bury people." Kwai Lan blushed angrily and said with a flat mouth.
Kwai Zhi and a few little girls leaned back and smiled together, looked at Zhang Yuxia who was smiling, and couldn't bear to see Kwai Lan's pitiful appearance about to cry, so she pulled Kwai Lan and said with a smile, "Okay, Miss is teasing you." ”
Kwai Lan's stubbornness came up, and the eight cows couldn't pull it, but they still stood there motionless.
"The slave just wants to amuse Miss, but Miss bullies people."
"You little girl, you are not big, but your temperament is not small. Yuxia has made amends to you for this, please accept my sister's worship of Kuilan. Zhang Yuxia smiled for Bo Hongyan, put down the shelf, learned the etiquette in the play, turned to Kwai Lan, and bowed her knees.
Kwai Lan burst into tears and laughed, hurriedly curtsied back, and hurriedly said, "Miss, this can't be done, let Mrs. Tai know, I don't know how to punish the slave and maid." ”
Looking at Kwai Lan's serious stupid appearance, Zhang Yuxia smiled, "As far as a few people in our house know, is it possible that there are still people who have planted spies in our house?" ”
The two little girls standing with their hands tied on one side lowered their heads as if they were weak.
For a long time, she hadn't been so relaxed, and Zhang Yuxia had no bottom in her heart, and her tense emotions were all released with hearty laughter. The haze brought to her by the prince is like a morning glow breaking through the clouds, and the clouds are clearing, which feels really cool.
Zhang Yuxia washed up properly and went to her mother Qian's Cuilin Residence, it was almost noon. Kwai Lan lifted the bead curtain, Zhang Yuxia entered the door, Qian half leaned on the soft pillow, still smiling kindly, and even the hair was kind.
Qian looked at Zhang Yuxia and saw that she was wearing a goose yellow shirt, clear and beautiful, delicate and beautiful, exuding the vigorous atmosphere of a girl. Cream-like skin, transparent as jade, eyebrows and eyes, shy.
"Mother." Zhang Yuxia wanted to give a gift, Qian took her hand, pulled her to the edge of the couch and sat down, her smooth hand rubbing Zhang Yuxia's face and ears, "Xia'er has really grown up, and my mother can't believe that she will raise such a symbolic daughter." ”
"The mother is beautiful, the father is handsome, how can the daughter be worse?" Zhang Yuxia had the intention to make her mother happy, so she followed Qian's words.
"You kid, praise you twice, and climb the pole." Qian patted her hand dotingly.
After a pause, he said, "Have you been to your grandmother?" ”
"No, I don't. Grandmother took pity on Xia'er, and told her last night that she didn't have to go again today. ”
"Oh." Qian seemed to have something on his mind, the corners of his mouth raised, he wanted to laugh but didn't laugh, "Sister Xia, did you enter the palace yesterday?" ”
"Mother knows?" Zhang Yuxia knew that this would be known to her mother, so she was not surprised. It's just that seeing that my mother was not surprised or happy, and her demeanor was calm, it seemed that she was a little too calm, and there was a little bit of untruthfulness.
"Your third aunt brought a box of snacks over yesterday and inadvertently picked up the conversation."
Zhang Yuxia thought to herself, only a virtuous person like her mother would be blinded by the third aunt, the third aunt's eyes are as many as a sieve, fine and dense, she is not the kind of idler who has the leisure to hang out and hang out. She must have had the heart to tell her mother.
Zhang Yuxia smiled slightly, "What did the third aunt say to her mother?" ”
"It doesn't matter what your third aunt says, what matters is what Sister Xia thinks?" Qian stared at Zhang Yuxia without blinking, and said slowly, "The emperor led you into the palace yesterday?" ”
Zhang Yuxia saw her mother's strange face, and she couldn't guess her mother's mind for a while, she was stunned for a while, nodded mechanically, and lowered her eyelids, not having the courage to look at Qian's heavy, unfamiliar face again.
The atmosphere was subtly silent. "The emperor likes Sister Xia?" Qian's rare straightforwardness.
Zhang Yuxia looked at Qian with a little confusion, as soon as she entered the house, she felt that her mother's words were not very polite, unlike the gentle and emotional care on weekdays. Zhang Yuxia shouted, "Mother ......"
"Does the emperor like you?"
"Your Majesty...... The daughter didn't know. The suppressed panic in Zhang Yuxia's heart came out again, and sorrow spread in her heart. She didn't know what kind of affection the emperor had for her.
Maybe just for fun? Or maybe it's sincere? It may be a whim, or it may be true as the queen said.
Qian's expression changed uncertainly, and he said, "The emperor's mother can't figure out what is going on, but my mother can see that Sister Xia must have moved her true thoughts." ”
Zhang Yuxia suddenly raised her head, her eyes flickered, and her pupils dilated, "Mother!" ”
"Actually, after your third aunt said those words yesterday, my mother realized that her daughter was already a slim girl, and she couldn't lock it up. It's just that my mother doesn't want to take you to climb high branches and bear precious fruits. Only Sister Tuxia can find a man of the same age, who knows cold and hot as a partner. It's just plain, live a good life in peace, and we won't go to the palace that eats people and doesn't spit out bones. The palace is as deep as the sea, unfathomable, how many women have been calculated, how many people have died unjustly, the palace, do you know? The mother doesn't want her daughter, who has worked so hard to bring up, to take such a path of no return. What my mother thinks is that I can see Sister Xia every day. Qian took Zhang Yuxia's hand and rubbed it slowly, his face gradually eased, and he returned to his former softness.
It turned out that her mother was worried about herself, Zhang Yuxia was relieved, secretly relieved, and her heart swelled with warmth. In the end, my mother is for the good of herself, not like my grandmother, who is taking people for a future. When people are doing well, grandmothers will be kind and kind, and they will look like mothers and children; If you don't have a good time, what you get in exchange is just a sigh, in this sigh, there are disappointments, regrets, and pity, but there will never be a future.
Xia'er understood her mother's words. Xia'er would have thought about it. Zhang Yuxia didn't know how to comfort the Qian family, so she could only prevaricate like this.
"Sister Xia is a smart child, you must know how to be in a measured way." Qian Shiyuan is also a beautiful lady of Huixinlan, unless she has to do it as a last resort, she is always up to the point, and she doesn't want to say more.
Zhang Yuxia nodded.
"In more than two months, I will be thirteen years old, and I can perform the opening ceremony, and when the time comes, I am afraid that your grandmother will have to think about it again." Qian's words are all on her mind, and the mother is looking forward to her daughter growing up, but she is also very afraid of this day. What's more, in this scheming big family, the Qian family can't be the master at all, as Fei said yesterday, "Mrs. Tai has to make a decision, what can we do?" The daughter is the meat of the mother's body, how can there be a reason not to hurt. Just like Lirong's sister back then, Mrs. Tai beat the mandarin ducks with a stick, and sent her beautiful face, who was worse than death, dressed up with flowers, and sent her to the palace alive. We women, our lives are miserable, we can only be next to each other, day by day. ”
Mrs. Tai's methods are hard enough and her heart is ruthless enough, and her own daughter is still like this, let alone her granddaughter who is a generation apart. Qian shuddered.
