Chapter 5
My sister walked in in a silver-red shirt, onion and white Western-style trousers, with thin cheeks and a little cold outside the house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info she glanced at everyone, didn't look at the second aunt on the side, and knelt down with a plop.
The smooth ground shone on the shadows of people, and the sparks that lit up in the evening flickered on everyone's bodies, and the tiles of the eaves outside the window suddenly resounded with the sound of dripping water, drop by drop, and gradually connected with countless fine rains, shedding tears of consternation.
The elder sister knelt, kowtowed three times in the direction of her father and mother, and said, "My daughter has been trained by the court at a young age and has always been filial piety in front of her parents. Since he was a child, he was loved by his parents, read books, went to school, and lived a life that others envied. For 25 years, his parents did not abandon him, and he allowed Ming Zhao to come and go freely. Now that my daughter has encountered a difficult thing, she has to ask her parents to agree, if not, she would rather be a green light ancient Buddha from now on and never marry! ”
When the second aunt on the side heard this, she snorted coldly, and said to her stunned father, "Big brother, listen, what are these words?" Do you force your father? ”
Father didn't know why, seeing that his sister was so cautious, Liu Wang's voice sank from the moment he entered the door, and his voice sank: "Mingzhao, what's the problem get up and speak." What are you kneeling there like, in front of your relatives and friends, aren't you afraid of being embarrassed? ”
"Eh, she's already done something embarrassing, and she's afraid of something embarrassing." The second aunt said as she held on to the door frame, holding a tooth-white handkerchief in her dark green cuffs, gently drawing an arc with the swing of her arm.
"You stop, my own girl is in charge of herself, it's not your turn to run to the house at night to make trouble, like what, haven't you learned a lesson from the last time?" Her father glared at her.
When she saw that everyone was looking at her with disgust, she stopped talking, walked in from the door with her waist twisted, and sat down on a pear wood round stool, and said something in her mouth: "I'll see what you will say later."
Her father stopped looking at her and said to her sister, who was still kneeling on the ground, "Don't plan to get up yet?"
"I want to get married!" My sister said.
"If you marry, you will marry, and after so many years of getting used to you, you should also marry."
"The person I want to marry is Mr. Gu."
Mr. Gu!
With a bang, a crisp tea bowl was thrown to the ground, and the light yellow water stains spread rapidly along the black floor, and after a while, a red liquid dripped down the water onto the azure broken tea bowl. Hai Zhu exclaimed in surprise and woke me up as if I was asleep: "Han Zhao, your hands are bleeding!"
I should have guessed, in the past four months since Ning Yuan came back, my sister's behavior is much more casual than usual, every time she goes out, she must be carefully groomed, she is beautiful herself, carefully dressed, people are more like the beauty of the ancient lady picture, with a graceful beauty. Now, she is kneeling alone on the inky black floor, with a stubborn and serious expression, and with the persistence and ruthlessness unique to women in love, waiting for everyone's judgment.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and everyone who had just rejoiced looked serious and puzzled, hoping that it was just an inappropriate joke, and then dispersed. Only the second aunt sat aside, beat her legs and began to wail: "I said that I was lost, and you all dislike me for talking nonsense." Now that the facts are in front of you, I see what else you have to say. Hey, what kind of sex did our Liu family lose, a good girl wants to run to make someone small? Your Liu family is a generation of scholars, it is better for our Wang family to pick up the face and skin. The son surnamed Gu can be your son-in-law, and there is an aunt and wife at home, did you marry someone to be a wife? Or be an old mother. Hey, my hard-working second master, my son is looking for someone to say goodbye, and my niece has done such a thing to corrupt the door, how can we live in the second room? ”
"I'm not dead yet, you don't have to cry wolf here." The second uncle strode in wearing a brocade robe and a small hat trimmed with stone blue brocade trim that he usually wears, he first bowed deeply to his father and mother, and then spoke again: "Big brother, we also heard from people, so we rushed over to see what was going on."
Hear from people? Listen to whom? Has the news already spread?
The father sighed tiredly and said to everyone present, "Sit down, you can't eat this meal today." I'll invite you again. Mingzhao, you get up. I want you to say it to me again! ”
"I ......" my sister pursed her lips, her hands were tightly twisted in the handkerchief, her nails were already white, leaving a deep red mark on her palm.
"Rulin and I are truly in love. You once said that in this life, you hope that my little sister and I can find what we love, and now I have found it, and I will report it to you after careful consideration. I hope you and Mother will do my best! ”
"Does Gu Rulin know what you said today?"
"He knows, we have discussed, today I will come to let your second elder know, and tomorrow he will personally visit you and officially propose to you."
"Propose? Did he say that he would marry you as the wife of the main room? ”
"Naturally, it's the main room."
"Are you so sure?"
"I ...... I just want to be with him, the rest, I... I don't care. ”
"Well... Good... Okay, I, Liu Qingsong, actually raised an infatuated seed with no name! What do you want me to do? ”
"Father......" The sister was stunned, she didn't expect her father to ask her like this.
I also didn't expect that my sister would like 42-year-old Gu Rulin. I thought my strangeness was just my own random speculation, I thought I could happily share the joy of my love with my sister, I thought my father and mother would be relieved to see that I had finally found my beloved husband, but unfortunately, all this is just my thought, I had a sweet dream for three months, and now, before I have time to speak, it is so easily broken, I can't even think about it. I always thought that the sister who loved me would bring me a handsome brother-in-law, and she would also love the house and the black to pamper me. However, I never imagined that he would be the father of my beloved. This is such great news that it hit me on the head without saying a word, and I laughed out loud.
Haizhu looked at me with a frightened face, then looked at her sister, and also cried: "What's wrong?" A good reception feast, how did it become like this? Wasn't it okay just now? Big cousin, why do you like Mr. Gu? Rare Zhao her...... ...... her"
"Haizhu!" Tong Shifang stopped what she was going to say next in time. At this time, isn't it adding fuel to the fire to talk about Gu Shaoqing and Han Zhao? He thought about it, comforted the crying Haizhu, walked up to me and hugged me gently, patted me on the back and comforted: "Good sister, bandage your hands first, my brother will call the shots for you."
I was miserable, worse than crying: "What are you doing? I have nothing to say, and you are not allowed to say it! "After that, the nails are stuck in the flesh, and it hurts.
The teacher stepped forward with a calm face, picked up the kneeling sister, and said to the others, "It's late tonight, everyone is gone." Let's discuss it tomorrow, Mother Han, you go to call Dai Zhen on my behalf, saying that you want to stay with Qingsong today without getting drunk and not returning, so you will rest here, and you will come back tomorrow! Han's mother, who was accompanying her mother, heard this, wiped her tears and promised to make a phone call.
The teacher turned his head again and asked, "Are you going back?" Or stay. ”
The whimpering Haizhu has already said, "I want to stay with Han Zhao."
Shifang also nodded and said to the teacher, "We won't be at ease when we go back, so let's stay."
"Okay, you can tell the kitchen to bring food and eat it yourself, Mingzhao, you come to the study with me and your father and mother!"
Seeing this, the second aunt, who had not spoken since the second uncle entered the door, was busy limping her little feet, and also walked to the study with the elders. When the second uncle saw it, he hurriedly pulled her: "What are you doing to make a scene, wait here."
Liu Wang helped the jade gilt step on his head, grabbed her hand with the second uncle, and said angrily: "Why can't I go, I'm her second aunt!" Why can't I take care of this Liu family's affairs! Don't forget, I'm the second wife of your old Liu family! The master of the Eight Classics. ”
"You're not ashamed, in front of the juniors, you see how you have a little dignity for the elderly."
"Okay, you Liu Rensong, you dislike me! If you dislike me, you will quickly divorce me, and find a young lady to be your aunt and wife like Mr. Gu. ”
Her words were like a sharp knife, poking at the faces of everyone present, but what she said today was so true that people wanted to refute and gave birth to endless frustration, so they had to listen sullenly.
When she saw it, she became more and more energetic, usually when she spoke, people always cut her off and slapped her in the face. Now that she also has a weapon, she can fan them so that they can't raise their heads and cover their faces without going to war, Liu Wangshi almost laughed, she thought proudly, mess up, make trouble, the more chaotic the better, she has been pressed by the big house for decades, the old lady was pressed when she was there, and she couldn't live comfortably when the old lady died, and now God opened his eyes, and finally asked her to catch such a mistake, see what they will be proud of in the future? How will they hit her in the face in the future? Liu Wang thought about it, and his mouth became more and more unforgiving: "If the girl does something shameless, don't be afraid of what people say." Horizontal vertical your big house has the ability, who are afraid of listening! ”
"Slap ......" Before she could say the last word, a loud slap had already struck. The father's face was dark, with anger that could not be ignored, and he looked at Liu Wang's panicked face and scolded: "I respect you for giving birth to children for our Liu family, and I have repeatedly put up with you." When I first broke up, I gave the industry in Shanghai to the third child, which was my fault as the eldest brother, so you made a noise, and I immediately gave the second child the factory in Suzhou. Now, you are making trouble at my daughter's apprenticeship banquet, and I see that I have tolerated you again for the sake of the second child and the children! I didn't expect you to be unrepentant, and you will insult us Liu Men even more, so don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless. Although my mother is dead, I'm still a little useful as a big brother, and if I don't want to stay at home, I'll let the second brother send you away with a letter of resignation! ”
Liu Wang was crying, and when he heard his father say this, he suddenly stopped, stopped, and cried loudly.
This is the home I have missed for a long time, and those warm scenes in the past are just a temporary peace. In Beiping, Gu Shaoqing said that he envied me for having a father, mother and sister who loved me, but in fact, he didn't know, and that was all I had, and in the years to come, maybe this only bit would disappear with my sister's heart. I want to ask her, do you really love Mr. Gu? Probably very loving, that's why he is willing to be small regardless of the world's vision. I also want to ask the second aunt, do you really hate our family? probably hated it, so he didn't care about arguing that the whole world wanted to know, and he forgot that Changzhao, Dongzhao, and Wanzhao are all descendants of our Liu family.
The rain is still falling, and in autumn, the days of Nanjing have returned to a low and dull state, and the dark night is like a pair of invisible hands, pressing people out of breath. What was Gu Shaoqing doing at this time? Did he know about his father and sister? What was his reaction? Startled? Indissoluble? Pain? Still like me, bored, angry, and speechless.
Actually, my sister is probably right, the pursuit of freedom for love, this is the truth that my father taught us since childhood, in the era when other girls were wrapped in little feet, I was seven or eight years old and knelt on my father's knees and smiled at my mother. They looked at me dotingly and said to my sister: Ming'er and Ah Zhao will also find someone they like to marry in the future, so that our family can live happily under the blue sky. I said, "I just got my sister, don't be separated from her." We're going to marry twin brothers so we can be under the same roof. ”
Nowadays, we have not fallen in love with our siblings, but we have chosen our biological father and son by mistake! Whose fault is this? I do not know.
The light in the study was turned on all night, and the constant crying of the second aunt was also accompanied by the night, and this sleepless night finally ushered in the dawn with the exclamations of everyone.
The little kitchen was clanging, and after a night of chaos, everyone had to eat something. Han's mother served the lotus seed porridge, and everyone was about to start, when a little girl ran in and hurriedly said, "Master, Mr. Gu and Young Master Gu are here."
