22. Chapter XXII
Liang Jingsheng almost didn't hesitate, and chose the house where her mother lived back then, in fact, as she just said, she didn't have too many requirements for where she lived, as long as she could shelter from the wind and rain. Old Madam Murong also seemed to be satisfied with Liang Jingsheng's choice, and was busy arranging for someone to clean up the house.
In fact, Liang Jingsheng felt that there was really no need for this, because she knew it. Although her mother never came back, and although her aunt could go back, she never returned, but her grandmother, as a mother, was worried about her daughter, in addition to frequent letters, and probably only reminded the people below from time to time to clean up the house where her daughters once lived.
"Grandmother......" Liang Jingsheng paused, "I failed to keep my mother's dowry." If it weren't for my eldest cousin, I am afraid I would not have been able to get it back at all. As he spoke, Liang Jingsheng took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms, "These are the silver tickets obtained by the mother's dowry after converting, Ah Sheng is still young, and he asked his grandmother to keep it on his behalf." ”
Old Madam Murong looked at the stack of thick silver tickets in front of her, stunned for a moment, and soon, she reacted, she held Liang Jingsheng's hand, and the corners of her mouth raised a trace of kindness, "Ah Sheng, these are all left to you by your mother, you take care of them." Grandfather and grandmother, even if you don't have these, you can support you. ”
These words made Liang Jingsheng feel sour at the tip of his nose. At that time, when she first came to Murong Mansion, her long-term alienation made her unable to get close to her strict grandfather and her grandmother who often wiped tears from her, she stuck to her own small world, where she secretly complained about the early death of her mother, angry at her father's abandonment, resentful of her grandfather's family for many years of ignorance, and the most despised was about herself who fled alone that night. Later, when she went to the nunnery to lead the practice, she was actually just asking for a quiet land, a place she thought would leave everyone out.
At this moment, Liang Jingsheng thought that if her mother was still alive, she would definitely be like her grandmother who made people feel warm.
"But ......"
Liang Jingsheng wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Old Madam Murong, "Take it well, this is your mother's dowry, and it should have been yours." Liang Jingsheng was a little uncomfortable, she only felt that the silver ticket in her hand was a little hot, the last time she came to her grandfather's house to eat and drink for nothing, she didn't know how to be grateful, this time she knew that she was grateful, but she still ate and drank for nothing.
Seeing Mama Fang coming over, standing still, and nodding, Old Madam Murong took Liang Jingsheng's hand, "Don't think too much, come, go into the house with your grandmother to have a look, if you are satisfied, you will live first, if you are not satisfied, tell your grandmother, and your grandmother will tell them to change it again." ”
As I saw back then, even if no one lived in it for many years, the room was still clean and tidy, and everything remained quietly in its place, as if waiting for their owner to come home.
"Grandmother...... That's good. Liang Jingsheng smiled at Old Madam Murong.
Old Madam Murong glanced back at the furnishings in the room, her eyes full of nostalgia. For many years, she has not dared to set foot here, for fear of touching the scene. I thought that when people were old, they couldn't remember anything, but what I saw today, Old Madam Murong found that the original furnishings here, whether it was a table, a stool, or a pot and a cup, could still be depicted with her eyes closed.
"Then you can rest first, and grandmother will go back to the house first."
"Congratulations to my grandmother." Liang Jingsheng just stood quietly in place, watching her grandmother slowly walk out of the house step by step, slowly walking away. The back staggered made Liang Jingsheng feel a little worried.
Outside the study, Old Man Murong was 'teasing' the starling brother according to what Madame had just instructed. This so-called 'teasing' is that Old Man Murong is standing and Starling is jumping.
This starling was first brought back by Murong Haoran to raise, about the shape of the owner, although the eyes are not big, but very good at looking at the face, as long as it observes that the master's face is not good, it will jump all kinds of ways, trying to amuse the master. Old Man Murong has been an expressionless face for many years, so since the little starling was hung in front of the old man's study, he has hardly stopped bouncing, but after a few months, he has lost a lot of weight. If it weren't for the fact that it could be eaten, I was afraid that it would have been tired for a long time.
Because it was Murong Haoran's birthday gift to the old man last year, the most proficient words were only two or three sentences, such as the East China Sea, longevity than Nanshan, auspicious wishes, very occasionally, when seeing the old lady Murong appear, it will come up with a sentence, "Give birth to a noble son early." ”
At the same time as the words 'early birth of a noble son', there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and Old Man Murong quickly turned around, knowing that it was his wife who had come.
Old Man Murong walked in the direction of Old Madam Murong, stood still in front of her, looked at her reddened eyes, gently took her hand, and asked, "Are you all settled?" ”
"Hmm." Old Madam Murong's voice was a little hoarse, "That girl lives in the room where she smiles. ”
Old Man Murong's expression did not change in any way, as if he had already guessed that it would be like this, and only nodded slowly.
Old Madam Murong shook her husband's hand a little hard, "Old man, you said that our family laughed at her, will we also come back with Miss Sheng?" After all these years, she has not been in my dreams, do you say she is ...... Hate me, did I do something wrong back then? ”
"It's all over, mother and daughter, there is no overnight feud."
Old Madam Murong smiled, but there was only pain in her smile, "Old man, I really regret it. I shouldn't have been back then, I just wanted to take care of the friendship between their sisters, but in fact, it was my Xiaoxiao who was really wronged, if Xiaoxiao and the boy of the Shen family had been fulfilled back then, would Xiaoxiao not have gone so early? ”
Laugh at her...... It's all fate. ”
"Ah Lishe...... He also hated me, hated me for not being able to fulfill her. ”
"How so? Didn't Ah Li send us a letter a few days ago? ”
Shaking her head, Old Madam Murong said desolately, "But she has been married for so many years and has never come back." ”
This kind of conversation, over the years, has happened countless times between Old Man Murong and Old Madam Murong. Sons and daughters, they are all debts.
returned home, Murong Haoxin finally took a good bath without any scruples, it's not that he is small-minded, but when he went out in the past, he did have a situation where he was peeping in the bath and poured water on his face, the past, he should go with the wind.
When he got out of the house, he was about to call someone to dry his hair, when he saw his second brother sitting in the room with Erlang's legs crossed.
"If your father sees you like this, you will have your good fruit to eat."
"Didn't this father just happen to be out of the house?" Murong Haoran not only did not sit upright, but sat more leisurely. "This is those jade hairpins, big brother, you have seen it."
The purpose is a stack of brocade boxes, and Murong Haoxin is not too interested in these things, "Since it is for my cousin, what are you bringing to me for?" Just send it to someone. ”
Almost in an instant, Murong Haoran put away his usual hanging, and asked a little sternly: "I want to ask the eldest brother, this cousin, is there anything wrong?" "People who have no news in the past suddenly come with a letter asking for help, which is really too abrupt.
Murong Haoxin twisted the water between his hair and said indifferently, "If there is a problem, I won't bring her back." ”
