Chapter 120: Xiao Xuan Window, Dressing Up
After August 15, Deng Sui moved back to the house, and the small courtyard was still tidy, just as it was when his father was still there. Mother still took care of everything, but she was a little old, with a trace of sadness between her eyebrows and tiredness.
After seeing Deng Sui, he looked her up and down, and saw that she was haggard, her face was yellow, her cheeks were flushed with some morbid ruddy, and she was taller, as if she had seven feet, and her slender waist seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. Only a pair of clear eyes are still crystal shining, as bright as stars.
Thinking of her daughter's previous posture in the city, she couldn't help but feel sour, shed tears, hugged Deng Sui and cried, "Child, how did you become like this, my mother and relatives don't recognize you anymore." ”
Deng Sui smiled and said: "Mother, don't worry, it's okay, Sui'er just hasn't eaten and lived well in the past three years, so it's good to raise it for a while." I wonder if the mother is still satisfied with the child's filial piety? I'm almost dry from my tears, it's good that I'm back. Grandmother is good, Sui'er wants her to die. ”
Yin wiped his tears and said with a smile: "How can you not be satisfied like this, your grandmother is very good, she was still thinking about it yesterday, you should come back." Let's go and see, she misses you every day, and her eyes are getting worse and worse. ”
Sui'er's heart tightened, and she said to Yin: "Mother, let's go see grandmother together!" She was doted on by her grandmother since she was a child, and her feelings for her grandmother were deeper than her mother's.
Yin knew her thoughts, stopped crying, and walked with her to the backyard. "Sui'er, my mother didn't agree with you to keep filial piety at that time, that bitterness is not something that a girl can eat, but you don't listen, you insist on going, and now it's like this, my mother is really distressed!"
"Mother. Back then, Sui'er was determined to keep filial piety because Sui'er and her father were reluctant to give up, and now Sui'er has done her filial piety, although she has endured some hardships, Sui'er is young, but she is also happy, Zhao Yu and Li Xia's eldest brother have been guarding me. No wind and no waves. Spend it safely, this is a blessing, and now Sui'er is back. What is my mother worried about, she should be happy! If the mother feels sorry for Sui'er, she will cook something delicious for Sui'er every day to make Sui'er fat! Deng Sui comforted his mother.
Yin wiped his tears again. "You have a heart, Mother knows. I'm in this mansion, it's like staying in a living coffin, living here, and I'm also a walking corpse. But looking forward to being reunited with your father sooner, and missing you, alas. I don't know how I survived in the past three years. ”
Sui'er was sad when she heard her, and tears came out of her eyes. Choked his throat and said: "Mother, my father has passed away, and I have to live well, my three years of filial piety have understood a truth, there is nothing easier in this world than death, only if you live, you have to live a wonderful life." Sui'er remembers that in another month, it will be another draft, this month, Sui'er will recover well, and then my mother will accompany me. ”
When Yin heard her say this, he smiled and said, "Okay, my little Sui'er must be the most beautiful among the show girls this time." ”
The osmanthus flowers in the backyard are still the same, blooming most in autumn, and the fragrance of the garden makes people feel like they are lingering. Sui'er picked one with her hands, and the plain and unforgettable texture reminded her of the scene when she was a child, and she was intoxicated by the dark fragrance of this backyard. Yin said: "This osmanthus is blooming well this year, Gui is expensive, does it mean that Sui'er is a good omen this year?" ”
Deng Sui smiled, "I hope so!" ”
The two of them entered the main hall of the old grandmother one after the other, and saw the attendants and maids of the Manchurian Mansion gathered at the door, all crying and laughing, Deng Sui was amused by them and said: "Why am I back, what are so many people doing?" ”
Xing'er came over and cried: "Miss, you are finally back, in the past three years, Mrs. Tai said that we are not allowed to see you, I secretly cried I don't know how many times, counting the days left and right, looking forward to Miss coming back, it is really like a year!" ”
Sui'er took her hand and smiled: "It's good to be back, don't be sad, laugh and make the old grandmother happy!" ”
Hearing the voice, Mrs. Tai also walked out of the inner room, and when Sui'er saw it, she hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said in a choked voice: "Grandmother, your little Sui'er is back, please say hello to grandmother, is grandmother okay?" ”
Mrs. Tai helped Deng Sui up and cried: "My good granddaughter, you want to kill me, how did you lose weight like this, come into the house and have a good rest!" ”
With such a shh
Mrs. Tai held her hand and didn't let go, "These fingertips are cold, have you been standing outside for a long time, grandmother covers it for you, how have you survived these days, my heart and soul baby, you have suffered." ”
Sui'er returned to her grandmother, as if she was in a different world, so she was coquettish in her grandmother's arms and refused to get up. When they saw this, they all laughed and withdrew. Yin said: "Sui'er, starting from tomorrow, my mother will ask the kitchen to cook food for you every day, and take care of it, this face is so bad, how can you recuperate for more than a month." ”
Mrs. Tai said: "I love to hear what you say, I must bring my little Sui'er back, and I must be as beautiful as a fairy!" ”
Sui'er could hear their conversation, but in a trance felt that she had returned to her childhood, the old grandmother touched her head, combed it gently, and her mother fed her with a small spoon, as if she saw her in the study again, reading with her father, listening to his explanations one by one, vaguely seeing her brothers around her, laughing and playing, and long-term memories came like a tide, like a picture, flashing in her mind, clear and warm.
Sui'er's return made Deng's mansion suddenly become more colorful like a dead lake filled with clear water. The busiest first is Yin's, in addition to giving Sui'er three meals a day, and buying a lot of clothes for Sui'er, Sui'er has grown up again, and the previous clothes are all small, and they need to be redone. There is also a teacher who invited back again, but no longer as before, scolding every day, only letting Sui'er do his best, the smart Sui'er, a few days to play the drum and piano again, dancing gracefully, or even better.
Sui'er's long-term entourage and maids in the house are like relatives, and everyone is even more dedicated to serving, looking forward to the young lady returning to her former beauty. The days are flowing like water, and it's almost the day of the draft, Sui'er doesn't need a primary selection because she has a file on the register, because she was the first last time, and this time she is still the first.
After a period of recuperation, Sui'er's face returned to ruddy, and her skin was so good that she could pinch out water. She didn't deliberately dress up, she only wore a moon-white and green cloudy sky and water lingering fairy dress. Woven into graceful narcissus with fine rice beads, the soft Luo silk yarn that is transparent in the sunlight folds out of the light like ice crystals, and the lotus flower with a green jade on her head swayes, the more her delicate figure appears, like a cloud.
Even the old grandmother, who had a bad eye and had not been out of the house for a long time, was surprised and said straightly: "Okay...... It's so nice, it's so beautiful! ”
Although the day is coming, Sui'er is not in a hurry. I still go to my grandmother and mother every day to say goodbye, burn incense and read, and occasionally play the piano for play. Or pick flowers to make fragrant tea, and look at the crisp autumn air outside the window. will often talk to Yu'er about the days of filial piety, although those days are long, but they are not peaceful, Liu Qing's sudden marriage. Lu Qingying's peerless posture seems to be surging in her heart.
Your Majesty, she has seen it. That day, she was in a car. Lifted a small gap and saw him. He was very tall, and although he was dressed in cloth at the time, he still had the dignity of a prince. The elegant dress, but the back is a little thin and thin, and the slight fine silk floats slightly against the breeze, showing endless naughtiness. When I looked up, I had a feeling of infiltration, which was the majesty of the emperor from the beginning. The faint sadness and loneliness between his eyebrows made her faintly moved in her heart, and she really wanted to walk over to soothe his sadness and soothe his fall. Those small but cold eyes, like the stars in the night, were so translucent and moving, and the corners of the mouth carried a touch of wildness that was not too open.
He has a temperament that she loves, although he is different from Liu Qing, he is a little more strong and resolute than Liu Qing, and he is also a little unruly. He is not as handsome as Liu Qing, but he is still long and jade, floating out of the dust, and there are more things that make her heart move.
Especially when his eyes looked in his direction, the deep affection that came out of her heart made her heart feel like she had fallen, and she couldn't hold herself for a long time. Such a teenager is her future husband!
She blushed every time she thought of him embracing her, but her imagination overwhelmed her like a mountain and a sea, and she had to pick up a book and read it to calm herself.
When the Yin clan came to see her, he saw that she was looking at the white lotus full of ponds, so he said, "Every woman is a flower. From the moment it breaks through the soil, it begins the buds, branches, leaves, buds, blooming, decaying, falling, and finally turning into dust. There will be frustration in the wind and rain, there will be the pain of insect erosion and animal bites, and some flowers will die when they grow leaves, and some will suddenly wither when they are in full bloom, but no matter what they go through, in the end, they will not be able to escape the step of turning into dust. Child, what kind of flower are you going to make? ”
Deng Sui listened to her mother's sadness, and there was a hidden grievance in her heart, but she was open-minded by nature, only a flash, and said: "Mother, I don't want to be a flower, I want to be a pine, stand upright, strong, bathe in ice and snow without falling, wind and rain without withering." I will greet the morning glow at the most beautiful time, the most brilliant time, and I will protect myself with my leaves. ”
Yin Shi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Good boy, mother is relieved, although you are destined to enter the big cage of the palace, don't forget that the emperor is also your husband, a husband who loves himself, is the most important thing, he is your everything." ”
Sui'er's delicate face looked unusually calm, and she said lightly: "Jun is heaven, I understand this reason, but he is not my husband alone, so Sui'er will not live for him alone!" ”
Yin Shi looked at Sui'er who was as beautiful as in the smoke, and couldn't say a word, what was this daughter thinking in her heart? After a long time, he said: "Sui'er, the old grandmother invited a scholar for you, didn't you tell your grandmother about a dream you had?" ”
Sui'er did have a strange dream, in the dream she was wearing a golden dress, in a place like a fog and a dream, walking barefoot, in front of her like darkness and light, only to feel as if it had reached the sky, under her feet were mountains and rivers, and there was an endless blue sky overhead. In front of her, there were countless stalactites, different shapes, colorless, very beautiful, suddenly felt very hungry and thirsty, so she sucked the water droplets on the stalactites, only to feel sweet in the mouth, and then woke up. I thought it was very weird, so I told my grandmother, but I didn't expect my grandmother to take it seriously, so I specially asked a priest to ask.
"Mother, what did the Xiangshi say?" Sui'er asked casually.
"He said, this is a good sign, Emperor Yao used to dream that he climbed the pillar to the sky, if you also have such a dream, this means that you will become a dragon and phoenix among people."
Yin said this, with arrogance in his tone, Sui'er could naturally hear it, it seemed that the family had taken Xiangshi's words seriously, but he didn't believe it. These words are not true, whether she is the dragon and phoenix among people, it depends on herself, not prediction. (To be continued)
