CHAPTER XVI
It seems that he is really tired and ruthless during this time, and when Acacia went to He's place, He just got up. They are all their own children, and He did not shy away from it, but let the grandmother next to him call the two girls and went directly into the inner room.
When Acacia came in to ask for peace, He was coiling his hair, and the long ink-colored hair that was as oily and slippery as a waterfall was quickly coiled into an atmospheric and solemn bun under the girl's skillful hands, and He did not immediately let the girl insert a hairpin for her, but pulled the eldest daughter to open the jewelry box and asked Meng Xintong to choose a pair for her.
Acacia saw that Meng Xintong naturally chose the head for the eldest aunt, and even took a white jade tassel hairpin to insert it for the eldest aunt personally. The inadvertent warmth of the two burned her lovesick eyes, and she secretly turned her head, this kind of feeling was what she was most looking forward to in her previous life, but it was also what she didn't want in this life.
"I see that this string of glass beads is suitable for acacia, but I am afraid that I can only keep it during this time." He chose a string of bright red glass beads from the jewelry box, these glass beads were polished smooth and round, the grains were the size of red beans, densely strung together, looking delicate and cute, and even the name of Acacia.
Acacia did not refuse, but accepted it calmly, stepped forward to salute, and then put it away with a look of regret.
He only feels that he has a good vision, this glass bead is a tribute from the previous dynasty is also one of the dowries she brought from her mother's family, the glass beads are rare, and it is a minority to get this string of polishing consistently, plus the glass beads are fired out of the gorgeous color, not to mention the priceless, and it is by no means something that ordinary people can use. However, Acacia was only slightly surprised, and there was no panic, nor was he overjoyed and greedy, and he was not disappointed and regretted because he could not wear it during the filial piety period.
This child is only nine years old, if it is not hidden too deeply, from the careful and deep, that is, the nature is pure and good, and the external object is casual, and it may still be a character who is not shocked by honor and disgrace in the future.
He was overjoyed, and pulled Acacia and said: "Maybe you don't remember, before your family came to Beijing, you came first because of illness, and you lived in my main house for a few days." We are all our own family, and we can't write two Mengzi with a single stroke, if you have any difficulties on weekdays or want to find sisters to play with, just come from the small door, it is your own home. ”
Acacia also heard Mama Zhang say, at that time, I only felt that this matter was completely different from the previous life, not to mention that she didn't lose her fingers, but it was strange to enter the Ding'anbo Mansion earlier, but this time she came back to the taste, that day she came to the Ding'anbo Mansion in advance, and her mind was not very clear, and she did not bring any trouble to the He family, but because her body was too weak to sleep all day long, she was so close to He's pity.
Who was it that helped her so much?
Subconsciously touched his little finger, and said shyly: "I should have come to the door to thank you, and let the eldest aunt so much." ”
"You kid is cautious, it's okay, you'll know after a long time, I'm the girl I like the most." He smiled softly and straightened Acacia's clothes.
Acacia lowered his head, always feeling that his heart was sore.
It was almost time to say goodbye, and the outer Yuehuan led Meng Chen, the youngest girl in the big house, to come over, this girl didn't seem to have woken up yet, and her eyes were stunned and let people in. As soon as I entered the door and saw Acacia, I looked at it for a long time before muttering, "Could it be that I dreamed of it?" ”
Everyone in the room laughed, and Acacia couldn't help but take her hand and said, "Wake up, it's daylight." ”
"It turns out that it's really the third sister!" Meng Chenxi's stupid eyes turned clear, but she thought that the eldest brother was particularly fond of the third cousin, and she couldn't help but be sour, but the next moment she thought that she was close to her age, and if she and the big house often came and went, she would have one more to play with, and she was happy again.
The little girl's face couldn't hide it, and Acacia saw it at a glance, only to feel that this sister was transparent and cute, compared to Meng Guizhi, who was calculating back and forth all day because of trivial things, it was a hundred times better, and even standing in one place, Acacia felt that she was younger, and she was more like a nine-year-old child.
"The fifth sister can be regarded as awake." Acacia waved a handkerchief in front of her eyes.
Meng Chen slowed down a beat, pouted, and said, "Originally, I was still a second mother, but now I have become a fifth mother." ”
There was a lot of laughter in the house, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous, after all, he was still in the filial piety period. He covered his mouth with a handkerchief and leaned against his eldest daughter, the corners of Meng Xintong's mouth were only slightly hooked, but he could still see that she was much happier than usual.
When the family got together, the boys didn't come over in the front yard, so He greeted Acacia and had breakfast together.
Acacia only bought some pastries before coming, but this time I ate hot soup and fresh porridge, and my stomach was satisfied, and I only felt that the air here was more comfortable than the second room, and I had the idea of staying here for a lifetime.
After breakfast, at this time, the grandmother came in and said that the aunts came to say goodbye.
Acacia subconsciously looked at Meng Xintong and Meng Chenxi, and saw that their smiles faded a lot, and even He Shi received a warm gaze, and said coldly: "Let them wait in the flower hall." ”
On that day of mourning, Acacia has not seen the concubines in the Earl's Palace, this is the rule, the so-called concubine room should be used as a thing for inheritance or daily amusement, and only her father will hold the biological mother of a concubine in the palm of his hand, and the wife in the house is not a wife, and the concubine is not a concubine.
Meng Xintong and Meng Chenxi both got up with He's words, and the lovesickness followed if it was not easy to stay. The three of them saluted He in a row and went out from the side door, Acacia walked by the window, only casually looked out of the window, and three or four concubines stood there, looking at the old age, and the sideburns of the head were all gray. These concubines are completely different from the concubines in Acacia's memory, without Aunt Mei's hypocrisy and shrewdness, nor the charming and affectionate in the backyard of her husband in her previous life, and there is no trace of jealousy, they just stand and wait honestly.
Speaking of which, the concubine is just a slave.
"Third sister, come on! I got an ancient book a few days ago, talking about the humanistic style thousands of years ago, which is particularly interesting, do you want to read it? ”
Acacia turned around and followed quickly, the corners of her skirt moved slightly, and her steps were light.
She said that it is impossible for everyone's backyard to be like a second room or her husband's family in her previous life, there are always such upright and well-behaved people, even if she can't prevent her husband from taking concubines, she should be like He's husband and concubines, and as a husband, he should also be like the eldest uncle, giving He's wife all the honor, as long as the wife has a concubine, the eldest uncle will never take a concubine, and the concubine in the past has not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl.
In her past life and this life, she wanted nothing more than that.
I have been staying in the dusty yard until the afternoon before going back, Acacia said goodbye to the grandmother who guarded the small door with a little regret, and walked to the courtyard with a relaxed mood that I couldn't imagine.
It's just that her good mood didn't last long, and before she turned into her courtyard, she saw Mama Qin standing at the intersection and waiting, as if she was in a hurry.
Acacia was not good when he saw it, but he couldn't hide from it, so he simply walked over and said, "What is the matter with Mama here?" ”
"Ouch, second girl, you can come back, my wife can't see you early this morning, and I'm so anxious that I cried all morning, and then let the old slave guard here, I'm afraid that I will miss it." Mama Qin's expression was an exaggeration, if it weren't for Acacia, she really thought something was wrong.
"Is there anything urgent about Mother?" Acacia seemed to be in a hurry.
Mama Qin glanced at her lovesick little face, and always felt bottomless in her heart, but she still cried hard: "Yesterday, a wife asked the old slave to give medicine to the girl, but I don't know if the girl is okay, this morning the wife wanted to come to see the girl, who knew that the girl was not in the yard, and she didn't say where to go." My wife was in a hurry. ”
Acacia only felt that he was irritable, and the violent temper of his previous life rushed out, but in the end he still held back, but replied hardly: "Then I still bother Mama to tell my mother, I am fine." Today, because my second cousin was unwell, I came to visit and did not go anywhere else, so she could rest assured. ”
Mama Qin wondered how Acacia didn't care about the Guan family as much as before, if she was in Yanzhou, I was afraid that the girl would have rushed to Mrs. 's house a long time ago, if there is anyone in this family who really cares about Mrs. in her heart, then there is really only this second girl. However, all the way around, is it really a disaster that separated the second girl and his wife?
Mama Qin gritted her teeth, it must be Mama Zhang's old thing behind her back, the big guys are all from the Yongchang Marquis Mansion, and they will only plan for themselves at this time.
"If my wife can't see the girl, I'm afraid she won't be at ease."
Acacia knew that this could not be over, so she had to not even change her clothes, and hurriedly went to the main courtyard with Mama Qin.
As soon as this person stepped into the main courtyard, an inexplicable sense of depression almost made Acacia sick, she knew that this was a reaction brought about by her previous life, and this kind of place should be regarded as the place she hated the most in her previous life, even more than the old lady's courtyard.
"She's just an ignorant person, if she's really sensible, can she not persuade her father to come back to the main courtyard yesterday?"
Acacia tugged at the corners of her mouth, her mother really never knew that the wall had ears.
"I asked Mama Qin to look for her, she didn't know how to say a few good words for me, her father worked so hard, but he has been staying in the outer courtyard, who will take care of him if he can't stand it!" Guan Shi cried again while talking inside: "Her sister still knows to coax me a few words, but what about her, she ran out to play in the early morning, and she didn't think about me!" ”
Mama Qin wanted to cough, but was pulled by Acacia, and then lifted the curtain.
At this moment, the whole room heard Guan Shi say: "After all, now the master is separated from me, not because Acacia is a girl!" ”
