On this day, Wanchun got up early in the morning, she had nothing else to do in the hospital except to recuperate, she slept a little during the day, and came to her spirit at night. It's hard for Cuizhi and Xiu'er to take care of the two girls, day and night, but they can't sleep well. Wanchun didn't want the two of her to work so hard, so she woke up at night and pretended not to wake up, closed her eyes and rested, and the night passed in a daze.

When she got up, Xiu'er also got up, and the two of them agreed to take turns to serve, and Cuizhi slept late last night, so she went downstairs to buy breakfast first. The winter weather is already bleak, the house is quiet, and there are large patches of white, which makes people feel that they are in the snow, lonely and bleak.

Wan Chun sat at the head of the bed with her knees crossed, took the book and spread it on her knees, but her eyes didn't know where she fell, and she didn't turn a page for a long time. I only heard a sound of tinkling next door, living in the past few days, Wanchun knew that the old lady's daily life was very regular, and she would never get up if she didn't sleep until three poles in the morning every day, although Lu Jianskirt came every day, she could never be so early. So, who will come?

Wanchun silently closed the page and pricked up her ears to listen to the movement on the other side. The old lady's cough came in low through the white wall, and the room was silent again, and after a while, she heard a human voice say, "Mom, the weather is fine today, shall I help you get up and walk?" ”

The voice was clear and mellow, and it turned out that Lu Jianpeng was here. Wan Chun leaned back and sat down, all joints relaxed, and she thought it would be Lu Jianhao coming. -- I didn't think he would be so filial, so he left everything early in the morning and came over to greet his old mother, and he was a person who put his interests first. For so many days, he hasn't even taken out a hospitalization fee, and only Jianpeng is kind-hearted.

The old lady was bedridden for many days. I have long been chilled by my daughter who always makes me angry, although I am a guard to my eldest son. In the end, I didn't believe that he could support himself for the elderly, so he had to turn his mind to his younger son. Wanchun rarely heard her laughter, crisp, like biting a white radish in her mouth, snorting, and asked Jianpeng with a smile: "Isn't your school going to class today?" Actually, if you don't come, your second sister is here. ”

"After all, the second sister is married, and she is also a matter of body, so we can't always trouble her." Jianpeng said with a smile. The tone is intimate and considerate, this is his usual way of treating people gently, not only to his mother and sister, but also to her sister-in-law in the past.

The old lady didn't seem to agree with his words, and she didn't want to oppose them directly, so she said: "She is the flesh that fell from my body, and she can't get rid of this blood relationship even if she marries. What are you sorry for? Did your sister say something in front of you? ”

"What can she say?" Jianpeng tried his best to defend his sister, his idea was that he wanted family harmony first, and his mother and brother had quarreled for so many years. My sister is arguing, but she can't always quarrel enough, and she has already made him haggard. A twenty-year-old has a harder time than an eighty-year-old. Originally, there was a knowledgeable sister-in-law who could talk to relieve her troubles, but unfortunately her luck was not good. Such a good person said no, and it was gone. He regretted it, and said again. "Seeing that it is about to reach the end of the year, my brother-in-law and the rent of the fields in their hometown will have to be collected, and the second sister is not at home to help at this time, won't she fall into the hands of others? Mom, there's me and my eldest brother here. ”

"What, can they still collect rent from their hometown?"

The old lady smiled, with a lot of disbelief: "Didn't you say that their hometown is in Jiangbei?" The land there is a drought, where will there be any harvest this year? I see it difficult to rent a tenant. Don't believe your brother-in-law's words, one out of ten sentences is not bad. ”

Lu Jianpeng was silent, he never thought about other people's family affairs, and rarely talked about people behind his back, so he had to be silent in the face of his mother's ridicule of the second sister's family. Perhaps he helped the old lady up, and there was the sound of chairs rubbing against the floor next door, as if the train was pressing over the track line when it was moving. Wan Chun's gaze also condensed into two orbital lines, silently stretched out and straightened, parallel and without intersection. In such a track, she looked at the faces of the Lu family on the one hand, and at herself on the other. The humble, the small, the resistant, the depressed, the aggrieved, and the sad cannot escape the crushing of this train of life. Flattened and flattened frames, surrounded by black trim, firmly nailed to the white wall in front of her. The interweaving of black and white is really terrifying, like a jackdaw with the breath of death, the night feather is rushing to the face, and the life is played out in this instant.

Knock knock! After a two-day pause, the knock on the door sounded again, Wan Chun came back to his senses and rubbed his brows, and said impatiently to Xiu'er: "It won't be from next door again, right?" You went and told her, but you didn't see her. ”

Xiu'er just bought breakfast and came back, and the knock on the door was also shocked, and she walked over and opened the door to wait for the eviction, but when she saw the person who came, she smiled and said, "It's you, Miss Chen." ”

Chen Fangfei was standing outside the door with a fruit basket, she saw Xiu'er and knew that it was Wanchun's personal girl, so she smiled at her with a restrained expression: "Girl, are you four young ladies up?" ”

Xiu'er said: "I got up, I got up early in the morning, and I was about to have breakfast." Please take a seat in Miss Chen's room. As he spoke, he was afraid that Wanchun wouldn't understand, so he said to the inside, "Fourth Miss, Miss Chen has come to see you." ”

Wanchun turned half sideways, and when she saw Chen Fangfei's face, she smiled first: "It turned out to be you, why did you come here so early?" He beckoned to her, and motioned for her to sit in the house.

Chen Fangfei carried the fruit basket into the door, Xiu'er took it smartly, picked it out from the basket one by one, took a white porcelain basin from the shelf, and picked a few red apples to wash them. Chen Fangfei approached Wanchun and sat on a chair next to the bed, and said softly: "The fourth lady has been injured for so many days, and she has not been able to come to visit, I am really ashamed. It just so happened that there was nothing going on in the house today, and my cousin-in-law was at home, so I asked her for leave and came out to see you. How's it going, are you getting better? ”

Wan Chun smiled lightly: "Thank you for your trouble, I'm already much better, it's a bruise, but it's not a big deal." ”

"Show me." Chen Fangfei smiled slightly, stood up and lifted the cuffs on Wanchun's wrists, looked in a few times, and saw that the top was covered with a layer of gauze, and he couldn't see any name, so he sat down again and said, "Fortunately, it's cold, so I don't feel hot when bandaged, if the weather in June is enough, it will be enough to make people stand it." ”

"Who's to say it's not?" Because she is a gentle person, Wanchun talked to her and spoke softly unconsciously, because seeing the fresh style of the silk robe she was wearing, Qinghu Lan rolled a circle of rhinestone braids all over her body, and smiled, "This dress is beautiful, where did you make it?" ”

Chen Fangfei pulled the placket of her clothes embarrassedly, handed the sleeve to Wanchun's nose and said with a smile: "It was my cousin-in-law who asked her to give a new work, they said that this is a new fashionable pattern in Shanghai, and I wore it for the first time today to see you, but this material is real." She didn't want it, but the weather was cold, and the two flag shirts she brought were thin, and the thicker ones were too thick, so she could wear them at home, but in the Fengqiao Mansion Zhongqing handed over most of the things to her, she always didn't want to dress too shabby, for fear that Zhongqing would be undignified. So after Zhongqing hired a tailor, she also made two bodies with half a push and half a half.

The effect of this new-style cheongsam is narrow shoulders and thin waist, highlighting the beauty of women's curves, Chen Fangfei's age in the eyes of the people, it is the double ten style, youth, everywhere is very well developed, wearing it shows her figure even more. Wan Chun sighed lightly, took her hand and said, "This dress is just right for you, I like it when I see it." ”

Chen Fangfei lowered her head and smiled shyly, the shoes on her feet were also new, and she was wearing new clothes, which cleared the little rustic atmosphere when she came earlier, like a hibiscus out of the water.

Xiu'er washed the apples and came in, thinking that it was too cold to make her stomach upset, so she cut it into four pieces and put it in a bowl and took boiling water to heat it, and then pushed it in front of Wanchun and Chen Fangfei and let her eat it. Chen Fangfei thanked her politely, and saw that Cuizhi was still sleeping soundly on the small couch by the window, so she lowered her voice and said to Wanchun: "I heard from the wife of your mansion that the fourth lady will not be able to return to the old capital in five or six days, right?" ”

Wan Chun nodded and said, "Yes, because of the sprained foot, it will take five or six days." Miss Chan, is there anything wrong these days? If it's okay, it's too late to go to Jiujing with us for two days. She felt pity for this girl in her heart, and that time she heard Zhong Qing joking, saying that she wanted to make Ji Yuan and Chen Fangfei a pair, although she didn't necessarily agree, but there were so many children of the old Beijing family, not to mention anything else, the eldest young master of the Liu family and the eldest young master of the Zhao family are both good people, and introducing any of them to them is the best choice.

Chen Fangfei shook her head: "Thank you Miss Fourth for your kindness, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to go out." It's rare for my sister-in-law to be heavy, so I have managed so many things, but I am the daughter of the Chen family after all, and I can't live in someone else's house for a long time, and this time I came to see you for the next time, I don't know when we can meet again. ”

"What, are you leaving?" Wanchun asked, "My sister also said that she was going to be a matchmaker for you, are you in such a hurry to go back, is there something at home?" ”

Chen Fangfei said with a smile: "It's okay at home, but marriage is always the order of my parents, I think they have probably found a way out for me." ”

"Wouldn't that be too hasty?" Wan Chun suffered once in marriage, and when she heard that she was going back to blind marriage and dumb marriage, she couldn't help but persuade, "Now we all pay attention to the freedom of marriage, in your opinion, there are not enough suitable candidates around?" If he is really good, you can ask my sister and brother-in-law to be witnesses for you, just as you can marry a stranger. ”

"It's not that it's a stranger, it's all neighbors, and they know their roots." (To be continued.) )
