15. Leave (one shift)
Duanmu Jinghua stood on the roof, undisguised his gaze when he looked at Sheng Xuejian, but Sheng Xuejian would never have thought that someone was standing on the roof looking at her. So she walked towards the main house of the orchid garden step by step, and in Duanmu Jinghua's opinion, this female doll was walking towards her step by step.
I don't know why, maybe it's all the wind and snow today, his heart suddenly surged, how long has it been, his cold and unchanged heart has risen and fallen for a person. Sheng Xue saw that she finally walked to the door, and Duanmu Jinghua also saw her face completely.
Big eyes, round face, and delicate facial features have announced that this doll will definitely be a beauty in the future. But the most impressive thing was the expression on her face. You shouldn't have such an expression at this age, as if you have experienced too many vicissitudes of life.
Why? Do you have as much on your mind as I do? didn't wait for Duanmu Jinghua to think about it. Sheng Xue saw that he had disappeared from his sight. When Sheng Xue saw that he walked into the inner room of the main room, Sheng Yuanlian made a shushing gesture at himself. She immediately stopped, and Sheng Yuanlian put Bai's hand into the quilt. Then he got down from the couch, beckoned to Sheng Xuejian, and said to her with his mouth: "Come with me to the bamboo garden." ”
Sheng Xue nodded, and followed Sheng Yuanlian towards the bamboo garden. In the bamboo garden, several rows of exquisite mahogany bookshelves are surrounded, and in the middle is a table of begonia and pear wood, where a piece of paper and a drop of ink are carefully arranged by Bai's. The most precious are the books on the shelves, which are either unique or rare collections.
Sometimes Sheng Xue saw that she came here to flip through books, and Sheng Yuanlian would tell her again and again to be careful of books. Everything here is telling Sheng Yuanlian how much thought the Bai family has put into him.
"Father, is there anything to explain when you call Xue Jianlai?" Sheng Xue saw that Bingxue was smart, and Sheng Yuanlian would return to Shengjing the day after tomorrow, so naturally there was something to say.
"Aman, my father originally wanted to take you back to Shengjing with me. It's just that your grandfather said that because of my uncle's affairs, it is very likely that the officials will transfer me to a foreign post, so my father can't take you back for the time being. In addition, your mother is pregnant with Xuehan, and she can't stand the fatigue of the journey. Sheng Yuan looked at Sheng Xue and said carefully.
Not sure why. When facing this daughter, Sheng Yuanlian often has an inexplicable sense of guilt. As if there was something that shouldn't be the same. Therefore, when explaining this matter to Sheng Xuejian, Sheng Yuan even seemed cautious.
Sheng Xuejian nodded and said, "What my father said, Ah Man understands." The conversation between the two was listened to by Duanmu Jinghua on the roof. It's not that he deliberately wants to be a gentleman on the beam, it's really because his ears are too good.
"Now your mother is in a bad mood, and your father knows that a lot of things in the family have fallen on you, although you are only six years old, but you are ...... for your father" Speaking of Sheng Xue, when she was six years old, she helped the Bai family preside over the middle feed of the second room. Not only that, but also in charge of the Sheng family's kitchen, Sheng Yuanlian suddenly felt very indebted to his daughter.
"Father doesn't need to say any more, Aman doesn't think it's hard to do these things, Dad just needs to be a good official, Aman, his mother and younger brothers and sisters are waiting for you to come back!" Sheng Xuejian's eyes looked at Sheng Yuanlian brightly.
Duanmu Jinghua stood on the roof, and he heard the conversation between the father and daughter from the beginning to the end. There was some inexplicable light flashing in his eyes. Then he left the Sheng family a few times from the roof. It was getting late, the horses were neighing, and the iron hooves were galloping on the long official road.
Two days later, it was time for the Sheng family father and son to return to Beijing. The family stood at the gate to bid farewell to the men of the Sheng family. The old lady Sheng Sufeng deliberately called Sheng Xuejian to his side. touched Sheng Xuejian's head and said, "You have to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting obediently, don't embarrass our Sheng family." ”
Sheng Xue saw a solemn nod. While the other people in each room were waiting for the old lady to speak, the old lady turned around and got into the carriage. The fourth lady is okay, and there is no sound as usual. However, the expressions of the eldest lady and the third lady are not so good. This is going to be a general election soon, Sheng Mixiang and Sheng Poria are in their prime, shouldn't the old lady tell them to work harder?
Why did you just call Sheng Xuejian out to speak? The eldest lady only flashed surprise in her eyes, and then immediately returned to her usual indifferent appearance. Sheng Xue saw that the eldest lady's expression was in her eyes, but in fact, she often pretended to be a tall person, and her ** was the strongest. It's like the big lady. The more she wants something, the less she will show her heart too soon.
Such a silent person is the most terrible person. On the other hand, the third lady, before the old lady's carriage and horses left, she began to mumble: "There are so many children in the family." Just called the five girls out, what is this called! What an eccentricity! Sheng Xue smiled secretly in her heart, such a person who couldn't hold his breath was often the weakest opponent.
Since Aunt Wu was buried, Sheng Xueyan has been wearing plain clothes and a mourning flower pinned to her arm. At this moment, she stood quietly beside the old lady Wu. It's like you're not a part of it. After Aunt Wu's death, Sheng Xueyan was no longer as arrogant and domineering as before, and seemed to have become a lot more sensible overnight.
However, Sheng Xueyan knew that Sheng Xueyan in this life was like herself in her previous life, she lost her mother and lived carefully, for fear of offending anyone. Sheng Xue saw Sheng Xueyan standing next to her, and when she saw Sheng Xueyan like this, there was a trace of sympathy in her eyes, but the scene of her previous life suddenly flashed in her mind, the scene of Sheng Xueyan's wedding day, she froze to death on the street.
That bit of sympathy vanished immediately. When he blinked his eyes again, Sheng Xuejian's eyes were bottomless again. Bai's health was better, and he reluctantly came out to say goodbye. But it was windy outside, and the Bai family couldn't support it, so Sheng Yuanlian persuaded distressedly: "Go back quickly!" ”
Bai's eyes were red, but he still held back his tears and didn't let the tears fall. Sheng Xuejian tugged at her mother's skirt: "Mother, don't cry." Father will be back to see us soon! Sheng Xue saw the milk and comforted the Bai family.
The carriage had drifted away. The old lady waved her hand and said, "Let's all go in!" When he turned around, Sheng Xuejian's gaze collided with the old lady Wu's gaze in the air, and the two of them immediately looked away as if they didn't notice anything.
Sheng Xue saw that her lips were slightly hooked, Wu probably would never have dreamed that one day he would be planted in the hands of a little doll. Wu had already walked towards the door, with a secret hatred in his heart. At this time, Sheng Xueyan tugged at her sleeve and said, "Grandmother, you go slowly, I can't keep up." (To be continued.) )
