Chapter 154: The Past
"Actually, when I was young, I didn't think it was so sad to be without a mother." Ning Junwu suddenly began to speak, his voice was flat, as if he was talking about other people's business: "Because, other children are not often with their mothers. ”
Where there are people, there will naturally be comparisons, and the world of children is no exception. From a certain point of view, the fact that the children of the clan are rarely by their parents' side is a relatively good thing for Ning Junwu, who has been disillusioned since childhood.
"There are many people around us who are the children of the clan. The older grandmothers, the maids who are most afraid of you falling, will only accompany the little girls who are about the same age, and there are some people who come over inexplicably. Ning Junwu said, probably remembering some of the characters around him, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "It's not lonely at all." ”
"As for the parents? Morning and evening, please meet Ann, sometimes just eat together. The difference between me and others is that I only need to greet my father, while they have to greet both parents. ”
"If I say that, do you think I'm unfilial?" Ning Junwu suddenly stopped talking, also stopped, turned around and asked Xia Xiaodong seriously.
"No, it won't." Xia Xiaodong shook his head naturally.
Of course, there is a blood factor in family affection, but more of it is bred by **** accompaniment.
Why is it that when the imperial power is fighting, there are always scenes of fathers and sons killing each other? Is power really so fascinating? A very important reason is that the royal family relationship is different.
The emperor may not even remember how many sons he has, and some children have never even hugged him, and they have not had intimacy, games, companionship, and teaching since childhood, ...... where does the relationship come from?
"You really think it's okay?" Ning Junwu's gaze was unprecedentedly serious.
It seems that he really takes his views on this issue very seriously.
Xia Xiaodong also looked back seriously: "When your mother died, how old were you?" ”
"Less than a year old."
"That said, you shouldn't have any memory of your mother."
"Well......, yes."
"Don't you think it's wrong if you have deep feelings for your mother?" Xia Xiaodong's voice was as cold as the first snow, with a certain cruel reason: "Even if you have any admiration for your mother, in fact, it is only for your mother's identity, not your real mother." Because, you don't remember her as a person at all. This has nothing to do with filial piety or unfilial piety. ”
Ning Junwu stood in place, neither speaking nor moving for a long time, and without even blinking his eyes, he looked at the girl in front of him fixedly.
No one had ever spoken to him like that. Or rather, it's not just him, he's never seen anyone talk like that.
As if from a completely different perspective, in the statement of a completely different understanding.
There are always different people, at different times, who say the same thing to him. You must remember your mother, you must avenge her, otherwise, it is unfilial!
However, how to miss a mother who has no impression at all, how to hate someone who does not know who it is, whether it was in the past or now, is not an easy task.
Finally, there was a person who said, this has nothing to do with filial piety or unfilial piety.
At this moment, somewhere, a seed sprouted, branched, and began to grow silently but rapidly.
"When I was seven years old, I fell on the ice in the winter and broke my mouth and lost two front teeth." Ning Junwu finally looked away, and suddenly said something else: "Actually, those two teeth were a little loose, and they should be replaced." ”
"Later, the maids who followed me were all beaten and kicked out of the house." Ning Junwu suddenly paused: "That day, Mama Liu, well, she was my mother's nurse, a very old and decent grandmother. That day she first mentioned her mother to me. ”
"The most poisonous woman's heart! You have to be careful not to let people hurt you. Ning Junwu's voice carried a certain kind of resentful viciousness, obviously repeating the words of that Grandma Liu.
……
……
Ning Junwu and Xia Xiaodong walked side by side, passing through Tianbei Street, walking through Lisu Lane, following a sudden urban village, and stepping on an unknown bluestone road.
Mu Mu, who was far behind, had already walked on both feet, and he really couldn't figure out where the girl was looking for, and why she hadn't found it after walking for so long.
Although she was Mumu, she also knew that she couldn't go up and ask anyway.
Is the person who suddenly appeared ...... the girl's future husband? Mu Mu was happy for the girl. How tall the man's back is, how beautiful his walking posture is, and how clear and beautiful his voice is when the wind occasionally floats over him.
Moreover, he accompanied the girl to find the place where he didn't know where, and after being with him for so long, he must be a patient and good-natured person.
……
……
The one who is really patient is Xia Xiaodong.
Most of the time, it was Ning Junwu who was talking. There are all kinds of things, ranging from strange incidents involving human life, to all kinds of accidents that are known or unknown to the cause, to childhood anecdotes such as shooting birds with a slingshot, and of course, from various people's mouths, the death of Princess Yan back then.
Ning Junwu didn't know what was wrong with him, as if he suddenly couldn't control his mouth or heart, so he believed in Ma Youyi and started to speak wherever he wanted.
Maybe it's because of the unusual calm attitude of the girl next to her, maybe it's because of the makeup that deliberately dresses people up ugly, maybe it's because of the attitude of listening carefully in the water-cut eyes, maybe it has nothing to do with these things, it's just that the autumn mood in the wind is relaxing.
By the time we got back to Tianbei Street, the sun had slipped lazily down the hillside, leaving only half of the sky with fiery clouds.
Ning Junwu suddenly found that his voice was hoarse, and he suddenly stopped, unable to say a word again.
Xia Xiaodong looked at Ning Junwu, whose lips were slightly dry, blinked lightly, knowing that now was not the time to continue discussing, he lowered his head and whispered: "I know the situation, well...... next time we meet...... Let's talk about it. Now I have to go back. ”
Although there is a lot of freedom in Moxiangyuan, it is always inappropriate to be outside when it gets dark.
Ning Junwu nodded.
Xia Xiaodong looked around, as if looking for something.
Archie drove the carriage and suddenly magically appeared behind Xia Xiaodong. Mu Mu looked at the girl and then at the carriage, a little undecided, but after Archie waved at her, he got into the carriage first.
Xia Xiaodong turned around and prepared to board the car.
Her hand was caught.
Ning Junwu's hands were dry and strong, and his slender fingers were not smooth, with a comfortably rough texture.
Xia Xiaodong turned her head to look, and her eyes naturally met another pair of eyes that were waiting for her.
Ning Junwu smiled at her and said two words silently.
"Deal."
