CHAPTER XIV
He felt that since the old man went, there was almost no happy thing, the eldest daughter has turned fifteen this year, and after the filial piety, she will be dragged into an old girl, and the original people who said good in private have no news, after all, the other party is a boy, and no one can afford to wait if it drags on for three years.
If you want to blame, she can only blame herself, I thought that the old man was healthy at the time, and his daughter would be at the end of the year even if he was fifteen this year, and it was not too late to marry after two years. Who knew that the old man was suddenly gone, and everyone was caught off guard. After the second room came back from the funeral, he met the mountain robber on the road, and almost the guards in Kyoto were alarmed, and finally survived until the end of the funeral, and the old man also went up the mountain, and he didn't have to interact too often with the second room in the future, but he didn't expect his youngest son to be scared again, and he almost didn't get into trouble with his little uncle.
"The slave and maid are not sincere when they look at these two masters, otherwise they won't inquire."
He Shi sat on the chair and looked straight out of the door, and when he heard the big girl Yuehuan next to him say this, he said a little absent-mindedly: "He is also kind, and besides, the situation in Yanzhou is different from that in Kyoto, so it's normal not to notice it for a while." ”
"Then the second girl in the second room can notice?" Yuehuan grew up in the main house since she was a child, her mother was He's dowry, and she also served as a housekeeper, but her life was bad and died early, He saw that she was pitiful and raised her, and later let her take over the big girl who got married, and received an errand in the main house. Yuehuan has always spoken straightforwardly, but she also knows how to distinguish occasions, so He is always a little more tolerant of her.
When it came to Acacia, He Shizhi smiled and said, "I'll just say that this person's fate is wonderful...... Although she was in a coma at the time, she took my hand and called her mother over and over again, making people's hearts soften. This time the old man was at his funeral, but she was sincere, and now she has helped so much, if she really let the second master go to Qingyunguan...... It's a nuisance after all. ”
"Madame is kind-hearted, and the second girl is really ...... to have relatives in that family" Yuehuan has also seen the lovesickness in a coma, the little person's face is burned red, and the tears of crying can't flow, and I don't know what the hearts of those people are made of.
"It's all fate......"
Before He finished speaking, the full moon outside walked in and panted: "Madam, the old man is back, and the second master has also followed into the door." ”
He Shi hurriedly folded his hands and recited the Buddha name, and then showed a relieved smile and said: "It's a shame that the child is in time, and I have to thank her for catching up with Ming'er." ”
Meng Xintong walked out of the back room with a tired face, waved her hand to let everyone in the house out, she took a sip of water and sat next to her mother and said, "In a few days, my daughter will invite her to come over, I see that she understands." ”
"How's your brother?" He Shi held his daughter's hand and said worriedly.
Meng Xintong showed a trace of sorrow and said: "I drank the medicine, but I still have a fever...... Even the doctor said he was shocked. ”
"I've already sent someone to invite Master Huiyuan from Mingjue Temple, no matter what, let's do a Dharma ceremony first." He Shi was already choked up and crying when he said that.
The gloomy clouds on the other side of the big house were bleak, and Acacia was also restless, waiting for Kapok to get the reward silver and come back from the big house, she was a little relieved, but it was only after the news of the big house came in the evening that her father was also sent back by the big house, she was really relieved.
But before she was about to rest, someone from the front yard suddenly came to talk.
The person who came was the little guy next to the second master of Meng, and the one who took him was the old lady Yang who was in charge of the old lady in the backyard, Yang was restrained and stingy, and there was often friction with Mama Zhang next to Acacia on weekdays, but because Mama Zhang came out of the Yongchang Hou Mansion, Acacia was a temperament before, and in the end it didn't let Mama Zhang suffer a big loss.
It was getting late, and it was strange for the second master to call Acacia, but Mama Yang couldn't get any news in Dianmo's mouth, so she couldn't help but be annoyed, and she couldn't put a good color on Acacia.
"The girl should change her clothes and follow the old slave earlier, and it will save the old man from waiting for a long time, so he should be unhappy." Mama Yang said in a weird way.
Acacia didn't pay attention to her, probably guessed that it was Qingyunguan's matter today, so she didn't lie in the house, and asked Mama Zhang to find a plain dress, and her hair was tied in the simplest bun, and before Mama Yang was impatient, she was already dressed up.
"Mama Zhang stayed and watched the yard." Acacia swept the people in the house, and the faint smile disappeared in an instant, "Sister Furong is the most appropriate, so let Furong accompany me." ”
Pomegranate stepped aside very obediently, and Kapok pouted and didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Mama Yang. Only Fleur, who seemed to be excited and troubled, was quickly suppressed again.
"Why don't you let the old slave go?" Mama Zhang saw that it was dark outside, and whispered uneasily.
Mama Yang immediately interjected, and said with a smile: "Mama Zhang means that she is afraid that something will happen to the girl in her own house?" ”
Acacia held Mama Zhang's hand and patted it lightly and smiled: "It's about my father who has something to ask me, Mama don't worry, I'll be back in a while." ”
Mama Zhang saw that Dianmo was guarding the door, and she didn't dare to say more, so she had to send Acacia outside the door with a few words, and Pomegranate rushed out of the house and put a thin cloak on Acacia.
Acacia pulled the cloak, smiled faintly, and carried the dim lantern next to Dianmo, and after only one glance, he quickly covered his heart and lowered his head, for fear that if he looked at it more, he would have thoughts that he shouldn't have, and if he stepped into the whirlpool again, he couldn't pull it out in the future.
Acacia let Fleur walk out of the courtyard and go to the cloister, the plain lanterns on the cloister were swaying back and forth by the wind, and the shadows were pulled from the wall to the ground, and gradually shrunk and began again.
Turning a corner, a figure in the shadow was hidden in the two lanterns, flickering and slightly arched, Acacia was a dead person who didn't realize it, but the two next to him were people who had just heard that Dafang Xiaolangjun was scared out of illness, so late in the day, with such a thing that I don't know if it was a person or a ghost, even a boy like Dianmo broke out in a cold sweat.
"What people! Sneaky! Mama Yang's voice was sharp and out of tune.
The figure trembled, and she didn't know if she was frightened by Mama Yang, she slowly walked out of the dark shadow, her face was not clear, but the voice was full of flattery: "It turned out that Mrs. asked the old slave to come and see the second girl, she just knelt for so long the day before yesterday, and she didn't know what happened to her legs and feet, so she didn't expect to meet the old sister." ”
Acacia gathered his cloak, only to feel a little chill.
"Who is I? It turned out to be Mama Qin in front of his wife...... It's so late that I have a heart. Mama Yang said "it's so late" very seriously, almost gritting her teeth.
Dianmo secretly glanced at Acacia, but Acacia didn't react.
Mama Qin's face did not change, and she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Acacia Yifu: "The girl's legs and feet are comfortable?" Mrs. has been chattering for the past few days, I am afraid that the girl will hurt her body, this is not today, I really can't help it, I want to go to see the girl, who knows that when I go out, my body is too weak and I have to lie down to rest, so I let the old slave come over with the wound medicine, but I didn't expect the girl to go out so late? ”
Acacia looked at it, and Mama Qin really took the wound medicine out.
"It's just that my father asked me in a hurry if he had something to say, I was afraid that it had something to do with Brother Fang of Dongfu, so I came back when I went back, and asked my mother not to worry."
Mama Qin looked excited, pinching the medicine bottle and about to stuff it into Acacia's hand: "How can you not worry, they are all biological flesh and blood, and the girl is our wife's life." It's just that my wife's body is too weak, and her mind is too heavy all day...... The girl is a filial child...... Speaking of which, they are all a family, and the girl knows her wife's mind best. ”
Going around and around still fell on this topic, Acacia felt a little troubled in his heart, and Xiao Li pushed Mama Qin's hand and said: "I naturally care about my mother, Mama still let my mother take good care of her body." ”
Mama Yang saw that the time was not early, and she was too lazy to talk to Mama Qin, so she dragged Mama Qin away and walked forward with Acacia, and said in her mouth: "It's all this hour, if you have anything to say, if the master is in a hurry, it will be a sin." ”
Mama Qin saw that Acacia was really leaving, and she didn't seem to understand what she meant, so she hurriedly followed behind and said: "Miss think about what Mrs. misses the most on weekdays, and Mrs. is afraid that the old man will be too sad on such days, that is, she can't even sleep well, and if she doesn't let her wife see her master for a day, her wife will not feel at ease for a day, and the girl should understand her wife's heart." ”
Acacia's pace is getting faster.
When the three of them turned to the second gate, Mama Yang took a sip on the ground, grinded her teeth and said in a low voice: "An old thing, dare to say anything, my sister is only a few years old, and everything fragrant and smelly will come forward." ”
Acacia pretended not to hear, and hurriedly entered the courtyard of the study with Dianmo, who was already familiar with the route.
Mama Yang couldn't follow all the time, so she had to wait at the door.
Entering the door, sure enough, Master Meng hadn't slept yet, he leaned back in the chair and didn't know what he was thinking, until Dianmo replied at the door, he seemed to wake up and turned his head.
"Second girl, come on, come on......"
Acacia saw him beckoning, so he walked over honestly.
"Tell me, how do you know that Qingyunguan can't find it?" Master Meng tried his best to relax his tone, but his eyes were full of doubts and scrutiny.
Since Acacia dared to let Kapok go out of Ding'anbo's Mansion, she had already thought of her words, she slowly sat on the round stool on the side, folded her hands on the side of her legs, and lowered her eyes: "I heard from the people in Ding'anbo's Mansion, someone wanted to go to Qingyunguan to make a wish, saying that it was very effective, but was reprimanded by the housekeeper over there, and only said that no one was allowed to go to the Taoist Temple to contact the Taoist priest in the Earl's Mansion." I heard that my father went to Qingyunguan, and I thought that there was something taboo in the Earl's Palace, so I wanted to quickly find someone to stop my father, who knows, my grandmother's ...... I couldn't help it, so I went to the Earl's Court. This is the daughter's own opinion, and I hope the father will not blame it. ”
Master Meng looked at the acacia deeply for a long time, and then leaned back in the chair and said: "Ming'er, you go to Dongfu, no matter what Duanfang says, he is also your cousin, just take a look." ”
Acacia nodded obediently, knowing that this was his father's plan again.
