Chapter 359: Seeing Things and Reminiscing About the Past
From Ran'er's house to Linkang City, it took ten days to stay overnight along the way. For the busy work of Guan Zhongping and Wang Jun running before and after running along the way, whether it is grandparents or Ran'er Qinglian, they are a little unhappy.
After arriving home, my grandfather first asked his uncle Ge Li to clean up a clean room for Guan Zhongping and Wang Jun, invited the two to have a good rest, and specially prepared a sumptuous dinner to express his gratitude to Guan Zhongping. In any case, Guan Zhongping is a four-grade guard with a knife, not an ordinary person, let alone their family.
Ran Er and Qinglian lived directly in the room where their mother was back then. In the dead of night, Ran'er released her mother from the jade pendant. When Niang and Aunt Ling came outside, Niang stood on the ground for a long time, staring at the one in the room. I sighed in my heart for my grandfather and grandmother, as well as my uncle's love for me. My mother didn't expect that for 20 years, the family has kept the bits and pieces of her original use. Even the layout of the room is exactly the same as when I was there twenty years ago, as if I have been living here all along, and I have never left at all. If it weren't for the lack of tears in the ghost body, the mother must have burst into tears.
Ran'er and Qinglian understood her mother's mood, and didn't bother her, so they let her stand there and watch for a long time. It was Aunt Ling who broke the silence.
"Sister, don't be sad, there is no parent in the world who doesn't love his child. What's more, my sister was still a smart and clever talented girl back then? β
"My sister is not smart and clever, let alone a talented woman. If that were the case, how could we get to where we are today? β
"I can't blame my sister, I can only blame Xie Yu who has no conscience and likes the new and hates the old."
"That's it, it's Xie Yu's fault."
After all, Qinglian and Xie Yu are not related by blood, and they don't have to worry about anything when they speak. However, it is impossible for Qinglian to say whatever she wants. Ran'er stood aside, looked at the mother who was caught in the memory, and didn't say anything. After a long time, the mother asked Ran'er:
"Ran'er, Lian'er, do you want to hear my mother's story?"
Ran Er nodded, and Qinglian replied directly:
"Yes."
Ran'er and Qinglian invited their mother and Lingyin to sit down on the bed, and the two sisters did it on the edge of the bed, listening to the mother tell about the past.
"My mother was born in this small courtyard, and since she was sensible, she learned to read and write with her grandfather, and learned piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from her grandmother. Whether it is a grandparent or an uncle, she has loved her very much since she was a child. So, my mother has always been very happy. Until the autumn of fifteen years old, my mother was playing the piano in this room, and I didn't want the sound of the piano to be heard by Xie Yu, who was passing by. The next day, Xie Yu came to visit, and Xie Yu was only seventeen years old at that time, with polite and good conversation, which won the appreciation of his grandfather and grandmother. β
The mother paused, as if recalling the scene when she and Xie Yu first met.
The mother was also moved by the scholarly aura on Xie Yu's body. After going back and forth, I gradually became familiar with it. Sometimes Xie Yu came, his mother played the piano, Xie Yu wrote poems, and his mother felt that if she could marry Xie Yu, she would have nothing to ask for in her life. From the eyes of my grandfather and grandmother looking at Xie Yu, my mother knew that the second elder also approved of this marriage. β
"At that time, did my mother know Xie Yu's family background?"
Qinglian asked her mother.
Of course, he asked Xie Yu, but he didn't tell SΓΉ Niang the truth. In fact, at that time, Xie Yu told his mother that he was a member of the Xie family, and his mother would not leave him. As for why he hid it from his mother, his mother only found out later. β
"Why, mother?"
"Xie Yu was fourteen years old, and his family had already set up a family affair for him, and the other party was Xie Yu's current wife, and she was also a famous family in Linkang City."
"It's not a good thing."
Qinglian snorted angrily. Ran Er opened her mouth and asked her mother:
"And then?"
"Later, Xie Yu lied to all of us, saying that he was an orphan, a distant nephew of Xie Fu, and only came to Linkang City a few years ago to join Xie Fu. Neither my grandfather nor grandmother, including my uncle, doubted Xie Yu's statement, and my mother was even more convinced at that time. Therefore, he quickly agreed to Xie Yu's proposal. β
"How did my mother find out his true identity?"
"In the third month after my mother and Xie Yu got married, Xie Fu did not come, but someone from the woman who was engaged to Xie Yu came to the door. At that time, Xie Yu was not there. After waiting for my mother to figure out what was going on, I realized that I was deceived by Xie Yu. When Xie Yu came back, when his mother asked him why he lied to himself, Xie Yu said that he didn't want the marriage that the house had set for him. even said that he wanted to escape from Linkang City with his mother. My mother really believed it at the time. β
"And then?"
Qinglian asked anxiously.
"No, the woman went to Xie Mansion to complain on the same day, and Xie Mansion sent someone to find Xie Yu early the next morning and pulled him back to Xie Mansion. Before leaving, Xie Yu handed over the vermilion wooden box to his mother, let his mother keep it, and said that after making it clear to Xie Fu in two days, he would come to pick up his mother and go to Xie Mansion. It's just that my mother waited day after day, month after month, and never heard from Xie Yu again, let alone Xie Yu to pick up my mother. β
"Then why did the mother leave Linkang City?"
Just when Niang was anxiously waiting for Xie Yu's news, Xie Fu sent someone to threaten Niang, saying that if she entangled with Xie Yu again, she would let the Ge family disappear from Linkang City, and at the same time told SΓΉ Niang that in three days, Xie Yu would marry a new lady. At that time, my mother didn't believe the words of Xie Fu, and I didn't believe that Xie Yu would abandon my mother and marry another. It's just that three days later, I really heard that Xie Yu was married, and my mother died. Thinking of the threat of Xie Fu, my mother has been loved by my grandparents and uncles since she was a child, even if she can't repay their nurturing kindness, she can't bring danger to the family, so her mother ran away from home. β
"If my mother doesn't leave, will Xie Fu really attack my grandfather's family?"
"Yes, this kind of thing didn't happen together, the Xie family has a big business, and they have done a lot of oppressive and good things in private. In fact, when my mother first left, she didn't hate Xie Yu in her heart, and my mother thought that Xie Yu must have been forced by her family to marry another. It wasn't until Ran'er came back for the first time that he not only didn't recognize Ran'er, but asked for the jade pendant, and his mother began to understand that he had seen the wrong person at the beginning. Coupled with Xie Yu's night attack on the villa, the mother finally saw Xie Yu's personality clearly. β
"Mother, it's all over, now my mother has grandparents, uncles, Ran'er and Lian'er, and Aunt Ling, in the future, our family will live a good life together, don't think about the past anymore."
"Don't worry, Ran'er, my mother just told you about the past, and my mother has already thought about it. Now that Niang and Aunt Ling are people in two lives, they will naturally no longer be sad about what happened before, Xie Yu is just a person that Niang met in her previous life. β
"This is the best, Niang and Aunt Ling will try to use the strong aura of heaven and earth in the mustard seed world of Yupei as much as possible in the future, and wait for one day to condense **, wouldn't it be possible to live forever? The best days are yet to come. β
Ran'er's mother and Aunt Ling both laughed.
"What are we going to live forever for? As long as you can do a few more days of filial piety in front of your grandparents and grandmothers, and can watch Ran'er and Lian'er marry a wishful husband, my mother will be satisfied, and she will not ask for anything else. β
