Dongmei caught up with Xia Xue'er's pace, pouted and asked very puzzledly, "Isn't Miss angry?" ”

Xia Xue'er shook her head lightly and replied, "Don't be angry." ”

"But how can Mademoiselle not be angry when they say that?"

Xia Xue'er didn't answer, but turned her head to look at Dong Mei's unhappy little face, and asked, "Do you think what they said is true?" ”

Dongmei shook her head and waved her hand, and replied confidently: "Of course not." ”

Xia Xue'er chuckled, "In that case, then why am I still angry?" ”

"But the slave and maid just can't get used to seeing the faces of those villains, flattering and behaving on the surface, and mocking and talking nonsense behind their backs!"

Xia Xue'er stopped, turned to look at Dongmei's eyes, and said seriously: "Do you remember what I said before?" Don't waste a single trace of affection for unworthy people and unworthy things, life is short and things are impermanent, leave energy and emotions to those who are worth giving. Such a life can be called no regrets. ”

Dongmei frowned and nodded as if she didn't understand, causing Cuizhu to chuckle.

She is like this, a child who will never grow up, acting recklessly, writing any mood on her face, not knowing how to disguise or know how to disguise; I can never hold back what I said, I can't endure it, and I don't know how to endure it.

Sometimes I really envy her, she has big nerves, she is stupid, and she has a carefree life no matter how you look at it.

Xia Xue'er sighed in her heart.

Walking to Yalan Xuan, Xia Xue'er stopped at the door, with an indescribable sense of sadness in her heart. I haven't been here to say hello to my mother for a few days, and the courtyard seems to have changed.

When you are proud, you are like a city, and when you are frustrated, you can be a crowd.

The way it looks now, it's really the old adage.

Shaking his head, he stepped into the courtyard door.

The sun was shining today, and Mrs. Xia was sitting under the porch looking up at the sky, Xia Xue'er did not disturb her, but quietly walked to her and sat down.

Looking at the side face, my mother is really a lot older, and the gorgeous hair on her sideburns is a little dazzling. is only in his early forties, and this good youth has been consumed by that night's sorrow!

After about a quarter of an hour, Mrs. Xia noticed her daughter who was sitting next to her for some time, and slowly said, "Is your body all right?" ”

"Back to my mother, it's been restored."

After hearing this, Mrs. Xia lowered her head and looked at her daughter carefully, then smiled comfortably and said, "You look good, you should come out and walk around more." ”

Xia Xue'er nodded, and then asked, "Does my mother have anything to say to Xue'er?" ”

Mrs. Xia was stunned when she heard this, moved her lips, but did not make a sound, and then thought for a moment in her heart before smiling and saying to her daughter: "You can't have the heart to hurt people, you can't have the heart to prevent people, be careful in the future." ”

Xia Xue'er frowned after hearing this, she had been staring at her mother's expression, seeing her want to say something and stopping, and also seeing her shake her head slightly and change her mind, knowing in her heart that what her mother originally wanted to say was not this humble word.

But no matter what the mother really wants to say, there is a consideration in her heart at this moment. Is it that she doesn't know, or does the mother not know how to speak?

Xia Xue'er pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Does my mother know a person named Zhen Tianxiong?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xia suddenly stared at her daughter with her eyes, and only after a moment did she speak, "Why do you ask like that?" ”

"No, it's just that my daughter has heard some words recently and wants to confirm it with her mother."

Madame Xia smiled lightly, and then moved her gaze to the ethereal clouds overhead. Her eyes were deep, as if she was caught in a memory, and just when Xia Xue'er thought that her mother would not pay attention to her, Mrs. Xia slowly said: "He and I can be regarded as old friends." ”

"In the middle of summer that year, I went to my grandmother's house to escape the heat, and when I passed through a mountain forest, the horses pulling the cart were crazy for some reason, and the carriage hit a boulder, and the strong impact broke the carriage, and I fell out of it and rolled into the woods on the side, and there was a cliff there, and I fell to the bottom of the cliff without a doubt. Fortunately, in the process, he hit several crooked neck trees on the cliff face, so he only broke his feet and a few ribs, but did not hurt his life. ”

Xia Xue'er didn't say a word, she listened carefully to her mother's memories of the past, her voice was long and long, and she also drew pictures in her mind with her mother's story.

"I was in terrible pain, and I tried my best to cry out, but I never saw anyone who came to save me. Just when I was in a trance, and I felt that I was going to die, a man in green clothes passed by and found me dying, and that was four days later.

"He quickly took me back to a very beautiful valley, where I stayed for more than three months, during which time I was injured and unable to move, and I could only lie in bed, but he was worried that I would be in a bad mood and affect my physical recovery, so he made a chair with wheels himself, and used it every day to push me to see the scenery, until I regained my mobility.

"I was just a thirteen-year-old girl that year, and he was a core disciple of a big gang."

The voice stopped abruptly, and Xia Xue'er asked curiously, "What happened later?" ”

"Then I obeyed the marriage contract made by my family and married your father."

"The daughter is asking before getting married? What else happened before you and your dad got married? ”

"Before getting married...... Mrs. Xia suddenly showed a touch of sadness in her eyes, which was fleeting, and then she looked down at her daughter and said, "There is no story before getting married." ”

Xia Xue'er frowned after hearing this, in this life, as long as time is passing, there will be no story, and her mother may not want to recall it when she says this.

Maybe it was an unforgettable love story, or maybe it was just the days when ordinary friends held each other, but no matter what the story is, it's obviously dusted up, just a memory.

Whether it is beautiful, or regretful, or sad, or happy, a qiē is just a past.

"Do you think of him once in a while, mother, over the years?"

Xia Xue'er couldn't help but ask this sentence, and Mrs. Xia always had a relieved smile on her face.

"I met him in the mountains and forests, and I forgot about each other in the mountains and forests, although I occasionally remembered it, but I just smiled indifferently."

Yes, the story of the years is a dream in itself, all the joys and sorrows will gradually become the past that cannot be picked up with the passage of time, and from then on, no matter how beautiful it is, it can't stand forgetting, and it can't withstand time in sadness.

Mother and Master are like this, and so are she and Jiang Qingtian.

Xia Xue'er hesitated, looked up and looked at the place where her eyes could see, the clouds were rolling and comfortable, it seemed that everything should be so safe and comfortable, but it was endlessly changing, as if some energy was stirring this change.

She understands the weight of her master in her mother's heart, and she can also see her mother's true feelings for her father, although she doesn't want to recall her mother's memories of the past, but after all, it is because of her that her mother's life has deviated from the original track.

If she wants her parents to rehabilitate, she has to do something.

Remembering that day when her father came to visit her when she left, she looked haggard but determined, she only looked at her reluctantly and did not speak, Xia Xueer looked at her mother and asked, "How many days has my father been gone?" ”

"It's half a moon today, and it's estimated that I'm about to reach the border."

"It's bitterly cold at the border, and it's in winter, I don't know what my father thinks, I have to go to the army at this time, how can my body stand it."

"He is destined to stay with the soldiers all his life, even if he is later named a marquis for his outstanding military achievements, he will often go to the camp to take a look, and the camp is where he lives in his heart."

Mrs. Xia looked far away, and her mind was far away, as if she could see her husband walking on the border.

"Mother's ......"

Mrs. Xia came back to her senses, turned her head to look at her daughter, as if she was comforting her daughter, as if she was comforting herself, and said slowly: "Mother knows what you want to say, I have lived with your father for more than 20 years, and he has always had a pimple in his heart, no one has dared to mention it for so many years, and now suddenly to put it bluntly, he can't accept it for a while, and it's also excellent to go out for a walk." ”

Time will always bury something, and before you know it, the things that originally made you feel safe have already changed, and things are not people, but they are only momentary things.

Out of Yalanxuan, Xia Xue'er felt like something was missing, and she needed to find something to fill it.

"Let's go to the Buddha Hall."

She whispered to Cuizhu and Dongmei behind her.

Some things will sprout after being left in her mind for a long time, and she needs to ask them face to face.

This is the first time I have come to the Buddha Hall, and looking at the building standing in front of me, I suddenly felt a sense of shock in my heart.

She originally thought that the Buddhist hall was just a room for worship, but she didn't want it to be a courtyard, and the size, layout, and scenery were better than the Tingyuxuan where she lived.

Walking inward along the winding stone bridge, five steps and one scene, there are many surprises. Under the bridge is a miniature version of the blue lotus pond, because it is winter, everything withers, only koi fish play freely in the pond, but it is conceivable that the summer here must be more beautiful than the green lotus pond.

"Mama, don't go too far, this is a Buddhist scripture that my wife has worked so hard to copy!"

Xia Xue'er was fascinated by the scenery in front of her, intoxicated, and suddenly heard this sharp voice, so she stopped and listened carefully to what was going on.

"Yo yo yo, it's obvious that you spilled the water with unsteady hands, why did it become my mother's sin?"

"Obviously, you deliberately spilled the water when you hit me, and if you still don't admit it, I'll sue Mrs. Sù!"

"Go, go, what a big breath, and I don't want to think about how your master entered this Buddha Hall!"

"You're deceiving people too much, I... I..."

"What? You little, you still want to beat me? Come on, come if you dare, see if I don't clean you up! ”

"Xiaoqin! Stop it! cough cough cough ......"

The last one should be Aunt Li's voice, but her voice was much hoarse and weaker than before, and before she finished speaking, she caused a violent cough.

Xia Xue'er walked quickly inward, but there was no one in the main hall, and then she turned a corner and saw a slightly simple wing room, Aunt Li was standing at the door leaning on the pillar, looking anxiously at the two people arguing in the courtyard, one was her personal maid, and the other was the management of the Buddhist hall.

Looking at the two people who were arguing in the courtyard, Cuizhu shouted: "The Buddha hall is quiet, what are you yelling about!" ”

As soon as the two of them heard the sudden sound, they all turned their heads to look behind them, only to find that the third lady had stood behind them at some point, and quickly knelt on the ground with a thud. And when Aunt Li saw that it was Xia Xue'er, she also straightened up and didn't speak, just waiting to see what the three young ladies wanted to do when they came to the Buddha Hall at this time.

"What's going on?"

Xia Xue'er asked before she spoke, and the grandmother hurriedly looked at her with a flattering smile and said: "Miss Huisan, the slave maid saw that Aunt Li was very hard copying the Buddhist scriptures, so she brought a bowl of water to her to drink, who knew that when the girl took the bowl, her hands trembled and sprinkled all the water, and she insisted that the slave maid did it deliberately, and the slave maid felt wronged and then argued with her." ”

"You wicked person sue first!" Xiaoqin pointed at her grandmother angrily and shouted, and then said to Xia Xue'er: "Miss Huisan, obviously she deliberately made things difficult, and in the past half a month, this kind of thing has not been done once or twice!" Miss Wangsan is aware and vents for my wife! ”

Xia Xue'er cast her eyes on the mama on the side, mama originally thought that she could please the third lady, and she repeatedly troubled Aunt Li in order to pat herself on the back and ask for the master's reward. But now when she saw Xia Xue'er looking at her eyes as if she had seen through it, her heart trembled, and then she slowly lowered her head, not daring to meet her eyes.

When the wall was pushed by everyone, Xia Xue'er felt like a mirror, but she didn't care about the two of them, she just walked straight to the side room, and Aunt Li frowned slightly and followed in.

As soon as she entered the house, a cold came to her face, instantly immersed in the bone marrow, Xia Xue'er couldn't help but shiver, the room was a little colder than the outside.

Seeing this scene, Cuizhu said: "Miss, don't go in, this house can't get sunlight all year round, and it is the coldest one in the whole house, beware of the cold." ”

Xia Xue'er frowned, no wonder it was only half a month after she came in, and Aunt Li's body was infected with cough. turned her head to look at Aunt Li, and then walked towards the house without hesitation.

Seeing this, Dongmei said to the grandmother kneeling in the courtyard, "Why don't you go and burn a brazier!" Hearing this, Mama hurriedly got up and trotted away.

The room was very dim, and when I looked around, there was no furniture except for a bed and a table and chairs.

Xia Xue'er pulled out a chair and sat down, the cold was raging, but she didn't say anything, just asked, "Auntie, do you know why I came here today?" ”

Aunt Li had been standing behind Xia Xue'er, and when she heard this, she replied resignedly: "Zong Yang is my nephew, he made a big mistake, and I can't escape as an aunt." ”

Xia Xue'er seemed unwilling to hear her words, so she asked again: "That's all?" Auntie didn't plan for your mother's family? ”

Aunt Li smiled bitterly, then sighed and replied, "I plan to return to my plan, but it depends on fate." Then he coughed again.
