Chapter 56: What Does It Have to Do With Me?
"Sister Yun, this is where you used to live?" Cui Ying stood in front of the gate of the garden, looking at the small courtyard in front of her in surprise, the yard was overgrown with weeds and ashes, full of cobwebs, three rooms, there were still a few holes in the windows, and the door was also in disrepair, the wind blew, the door swayed, and there was a harsh friction sound. Walking into the middle room, which was the room where Luo Xue used to live, he could only see two stools and a dilapidated small table, which should be used for eating. In front of the window on one side was a desk a little longer than the one used for eating, and there were several unfinished sheets of paper on the desk, and an inkstone with a missing opening and dried ink in it. A brush was placed haphazardly on the table, and it was evident that the owner of the brush seemed to be in a hurry.
There was a black wardrobe in the back room, and next to it was a small vanity mirror, which did not have any rouge gouache on it, except for some wooden hairpins and blue-gray ribbons used to tie the hair. The things are neatly placed, and it can be seen that the owner still cares about these things. There is a bed next to the black wardrobe, compared to other things in this room, this bed should be the only thing that is more colorful, a water-blue curtain, together with quilts, sheets, pillows, are all water-blue, and the top of the bed is also decorated with some small water-blue sachets, embroidered with dark blue peony flowers, a very dreamy little world.
Cui Ying looked at the bed in surprise, "Sister Yun, this ......"
Luo Xue looked at this room, looked at the bed, hooked her lips and smiled, evoked the things in the depths of her memory, closed her eyes, and seemed to be able to see that gentle and kind person walking and stopping, coming and going in this room.
Luo Xue closed her eyes lightly, and her red lips opened lightly, "At that time, I lived here with Zhu Ren and Zhu Xue, although it was very hard, although I was often bullied, but I lived a very happy and contented life with Zhu Xue and Zhu Ren." At that time, I didn't ask for anything, even if my mother was killed by their design, I didn't think about revenge. Mother said that if a person's life is always spent in hatred and resentment, he will never be happy. When my mother died, when she took her last breath, she was still telling me not to retaliate, not to hate, and to live happily. ”
"You see, how kind she is, how ...... she is Foolish. In fact, I know that she still hates and is sad, but she loves that man too much. Maybe even she didn't know it, and she didn't dare to admit it, she fell in love with that selfish and affectionate man. Subconsciously, she was unwilling to hurt that man, even if it was her life that cost her in the end. In fact, with her ability, she can leave safely, and she can truly have a happiness of her own, but who let me come to this world when she wants to leave! ”
"I heard her say that she was happy when that man knew of my existence, and during that time, she spent the sweetest and happiest days of her life. Even if this life is short and unreal, but she really feels the happiness she has never had, is this the taste of love, I have never been able to understand, when I saw her results, I vowed not to fall in love with any man in this life. But who can calculate, in the end, I turned out to be the same result as my own mother, falling in love with a man, and for the sake of a man, the person who tortured myself was not like a human, a ghost was not like a ghost, and I was covered with scars. Moreover, I was not even as good as my mother, because I didn't even feel the slightest feeling of love from him, and I fell in love with him. ”
"This room is full of laughter, the square table is where I eat with Zhu Xue and Zhu Ren, the food prepared for us by Luofu is difficult to swallow, so Zhu Ren always finds a way to go out over the wall to find all kinds of food ingredients to come in, and Zhu Xue is hands-on cooking, from the beginning of the things made are more difficult to swallow than the things made in Luofu, until the current delicious, Zhu Xue has also been trained for a long time, and secretly went out to see how those chefs do, but Zhu Xue's talent for cooking is really high, Bamboo tenacity is not good, although the things made can still be eaten, but they can never be called delicious. Hehe, those two girls really did a lot for me. ”
"That desk, Zhu Ren turned out from the old warehouse in Luofu, in fact, it was not originally a desk, just a small table with small flower pots, and after being turned out by Zhu Ren, he made me a small desk, because Zhu Ren said that I can't do without books, of course there must be a desk. That brush was a gift from Zhu Xue for my ninth birthday, the year my mother left me for a year. And Zhu Ren gave me the comb, she said, Miss is so beautiful, she should dress up well. I really don't understand how they got these birthday presents when they are a year younger than me, and I am really incompetent compared to them. ”
"Once I secretly followed them, and finally learned how they made money, so young they went to the storytelling shop, serving tea and pouring water for those listeners, that was the first time after my mother's death, I cried heartbreakingly, that was also the first time, I was so angry. Because I saw that Zhu Xue and Zhu Ren were beaten and scolded by the boss because of their young age, they would inevitably make mistakes in doing things, and I was angry with them, angry that they didn't cherish themselves, and they were angry with themselves, and they never brought them a good life, not only let them suffer with me, but also dragged them down. I have been eating the food that Zhu Ren brought from outside with peace of mind for the past year, and I never thought that the process would be like this. ”
"After that, I went to find the father I hadn't seen for more than a year, and for the first time he was so tough, I said, as a minister, if the matter of treating his children poorly is spread, then his official authority should also be greatly affected! He was so angry that he wanted to kill me, perhaps, few people dared to threaten him, I said, it's okay to kill me, I'm dead, naturally someone will tell me about it, my requirements are not high, I hope he will prepare the food that the third lady of Shangshufu should get. After that, we didn't worry about the food anymore, and as for the other bullying, we didn't take it seriously. ”
"That bed, they gave me a sixteenth birthday present, they knew how much I loved the color blue, but I had lived in this dark room for so many years. Hehe, I haven't slept enough on that bed, but Luo Wengong found someone to forcibly pull me into the sedan chair that day, and in the end I didn't understand what happened. I was writing that day, and you look at this poem, Huanxisha was pulled away by them before he finished writing. It wasn't until a few days later that I learned that I was married, married to the myth of the Moliu Kingdom. At that time, I was actually happy, and if I hadn't been disheartened by those things later, maybe I would have lived a happy life. ”
Luo Xue opened her eyes and looked at everything in this room with emotion, and that scene still seemed to appear in front of her. She walked over to the little dresser and opened the small box on the table, which contained a half-palm-sized wooden carving, on which was carved a very beautiful peony in full bloom.
"Actually, this time I came back, my main purpose was to get back this piece of wood carving, this is the only thing my mother left me, maybe because it is not valuable, so the women in this house did not think of taking it, I am very glad that I have been gone for more than a year, and they have not touched anything here."
Luo Xue finished talking to herself, before turning her head to look at Cui Ying, Cui Ying now has mixed feelings in her heart, although she was also bullied when she was young, but since she met Wan Hongge, she has not suffered any more. Wan Hongge treated her like his own sister, so that she could live peacefully in the future.
"Sister Yun, do you want to take the things in this room with you?" Cui Ying asked, where there are so many memories, Luo Xue should take these things away!
Unexpectedly, Luo Xue shook her head, "No need, don't be so troublesome, it won't be long before I will take the entire Shangshu Mansion into my hands, and this garden will naturally come back, and I don't have to worry about being destroyed here." For one, there is nothing worth their attention to; Second, I will tell my kind father to take care of me. ”
Cui Ying nodded thoughtfully.
Not long after staying in the room, Luo Wengong sent someone to invite someone, Cui Ying looked at Luo Xue with some concern, afraid that Luo Xue would be in danger if she followed. Luo Xue smiled, "It's okay, don't worry, it's expected." ”
Cui Ying then understood what Luo Xue meant when she said on the way here that she still had something to do.
……
Walking to the door of Luo Wengong's study, Luo Wengong's housekeeper Wei Cheng stopped Luo Xue and Cui Ying, and smiled gently, "Concubine Xue, the master said that he wanted to talk to you alone, and outsiders don't have to be there." ”
Luo Xue nodded understandingly, and said to Cui Ying behind her, "I'll go in alone, you go buy me some pastries, I'll go back and eat, dinner is not very palatable, I didn't eat enough." As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Wei Cheng.
Wei Cheng was helpless, this Xue Concubine Niangniang was deliberately sarcastic about herself, thinking about it, she hurriedly said, "Where does Niangniang say, if there is anything dissatisfied, tell the slave directly, and the slave will definitely do it for Niangniang." ”
Luo Xue smiled and nodded, "Since Steward Wei has said so, then this palace is not hypocritical." Xiao Ying, follow Steward Wei to the kitchen, and tell Steward Wei all the things that the palace likes to eat, except for tonight's food, tomorrow's meal will not be as unsatisfactory as today. After saying that, he walked to the study alone.
Cui Ying nodded, "Yes, Niangniang." Steward Wei, in addition to the two sisters Zhu Xue and Zhu Ren, I know the things that my mother likes to eat, let's go, I will take you to the kitchen and talk to you carefully. "Cui Ying can't hear it, Luo Xue is deliberately trying to make things difficult for Wei Cheng! I heard that although this Steward Wei is extremely capable, he has a very serious cleanliness habit, and he will never step into a place like the kitchen, and Luo Wengong also said that he has a headache. Moreover, tomorrow's food arrangement, Luo Xue didn't want to make Luofu's family uncomfortable.
Wei Cheng's face became ugly, but he had no choice but to follow him to the kitchen, maybe he would have to spend the next night in a bucket.
……
Luo Xue entered the study and saw Luo Wengong writing something in front of the desk. Luo Wengong's study is very large, just the study is larger than Luo Xue's entire room, this comparison really makes Luo Xue a little unhappy. So he didn't say that he was waiting for Luo Wengong to finish writing, and said directly, "What's the matter with me?" ”
Luo Wengong also has a small obsessive-compulsive disorder, that is, when he writes, he must not be disturbed, Luo Xue also understands that letting her come but deliberately writing and painting here is not just used to test her! This is the first time Luo Xue has entered Luo Wengong's study, I heard that Luo Shangshu's study is full of the fragrance of books, and even the emperor has praised it, because Luo Wengong's study has all kinds of books, covering a wide range, but Luo Xue only felt that it was nothing more than that. To say that he has a wide range of knowledge, who can compare to Sikong Cangling, of course, his low profile makes few people know what his study is like, besides, he has issued a ban in his study, and no one else can enter except him. But what happened to her? Suddenly thinking of this question made Luo Xue frown.
Luo Wengong was interrupted, looked at the messy words in the pen, and raised his head angrily, he didn't expect Luo Xue to be really so bold, and now that no one dares to provoke himself, he stood up and yelled at Luo Xue, "Bastard, this is your attitude towards your biological father?" ”
Luo Xue picked up a strand of her hair, tugged on her fingers, and seemed to play with it rather boringly, "Father, my daughter doesn't know what attitude my father wants my daughter to treat you, and besides, is there something wrong with my daughter?" Saying that, he looked at Luo Wengong with some confusion, as an unfavored daughter, it shouldn't be strange that she didn't know that her father had to get used to it!
Hearing Luo Xue's words pretending to be stupid, Luo Wengong was even more furious, "Bastard, I don't believe you don't know, Luo Xue, I tell you, I can pick you up and make you the concubine of King Cang, and I can also make you lose everything you have now, let you have nothing, and be spurned." ”
"Oh, really? I'm really looking forward to it! Luo Xue seemed to be quite interested.
"I don't want to tell you more about this, let me ask you, this time the Mijiang flood, the original person was obviously Cheng'er, why did he become Xiao Feng's person?" Luo Wengong was also impatient, and asked him bluntly about the purpose of letting Luo Xue return to Luofu this time.
"Oh, is it? There is such a thing, this daughter really doesn't know, but father, the daughter's family can't interfere in the affairs of the court, even if the daughter is the concubine of King Cang, but it's not easy to ask about these things! Besides, this matter is about the eldest brother, what does it have to do with me, my father asked the wrong one! Luo Xue sneered softly, this old guy is really shameless.
When Luo Wengong heard this, he was almost angry, "Bastard, you ......"
