Chapter 8: Homecoming

'Moon'...... In my memory, a tall and thin man lifted her young one high and let her immature little hands caress ~mo to the concave and convex font. A voice said......

She is the eternal bright moon in her father's heart, always bright, and always hanging in the sky.

In her memory, it was her last happy time. After that, her mother had an accident, she was sad and cried all day, at first her father still had the heart to coax her, but she cried a lot, and her father was finally annoyed, so he only handed her over to the nurse to take care of. And her relationship with her father gradually drifted apart until she was twelve years old.

She will always remember the gaze her father looked at her.

Despair, disgust, contempt, and finally gone.

Xie Ke's eyes sank, whether it was the brocade quilt under his body~ or the satin embroidered moire silk quilt covered with his body, Xie Ke had a feeling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

This feeling made her want to cry, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but want to hook up.

After marrying into the Kwon family, she couldn't even remember what kind of life she had lived. Are you worried about three meals a day? Is it sad that there are no new clothes in the summer...... It was nearly noon, the sun was just right outside the window, and a few rays of light shone into the room through the silk curtain. Making the entire inner room seem a little bizarre, Xie Ke looked at everything in front of him in a daze.

The mahogany tall square flower stand, the gardenia on the mahogany shelf is budding and waiting to be released. The tender white petals were like the white jade around her neck, flawless and clear. Before it blooms, it seems that it has smelled the fragrance of flowers.

By the window is the red lacquer painted gold painted five-screen mirror table, there are some delicate gadgets on the mirror table, there are glass beads, coral handpieces, and a small box, if she remembers correctly, there are some gold bills, which are given by the elders of the New Year's Festival, and are used by her as a small play, and then received in the box by the nurse, saying that after she marries in the future, she will keep it for her as a dowry.

In the middle of the room is a mahogany moire square table, on which the tea set is fired by the official kiln, and it is said that a set of four cups of tea set costs a hundred taels of silver.

Looking sideways, it is the hardwood carved cave moon-style shelf that I sleep on......

Everything is so unfamiliar, but there is a strange familiarity, it seems that the remaining twenty years of her previous life are really a dream for her. Even a random ornament in this room is finely carved. Take out any one, it is enough for ordinary people to chew for a year and a half, she never thought these were good things before, after all, she has grown up in such an environment since she was born, her new clothes always seem to be inexhaustible, and her food has never been harshly criticized.

What seemed like a treasure in the eyes of others was, in her eyes, a dead object.

But it wasn't until she married into the Kwon family that she knew what she had lost......

It's not that the Quan family is poor, it's that the Xie family is too rich.

Everything in front of him was gilded with a layer of warm gold by the sun, Xie Ke smiled and closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.

Everything, it's going to be fine.

Everything in the previous life will be far away from her......

Xie Ke didn't know how long he had been asleep, but when he opened his eyes, he saw Cheng's gentle smiling face, which gradually merged with the withered, old face in his memory. "Nurse." Xie Ke couldn't help but exclaim.

Cheng bent over to pick up Xie Ke, and whispered to comfort Xie Ke while combing Xie Ke's messy sideburns.

"Sister has a nightmare again? Don't be afraid, there's a nurse in the ...... No matter what demons and evil things, the nurse will drive them away, even if she fights for her life, the nurse will also protect her sister Bao. Cheng's voice seemed to be appeased, and Xie Ke gradually calmed down in Cheng's arms.

"What about my mother?"

"The fourth grandmother just got the news, and the fourth master is coming back. Because I was worried about my sister's body, I sent someone to report the news first...... The fourth grandmother is instructing the maid to sweep the dust at this time, and she will come to see her sister later. ”

After Xie Ke listened to Cheng's words, his little face showed joy.

Father is coming back.

Xie Ke only has his father's background in his memory, after all, the incident she had at the beginning really made Xie's face disgraced, and his father was also criticized because of her, saying that his father did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father and did not raise her. even implicated his deceased mother at the time, causing his mother to bear the infamy of being born without teaching.

In Cheng's heart, Fourth Master Xie just left for more than a month, but in Xie Ke's heart, she hadn't seen her father for several years.

I don't know what my father was like at this time. Is it still so thin but full of bones?

Or...... Is it the wind ~ the flow of handsome?

"I'm going to pick up my father." Xie Ke said. Cheng thought about it, picked up Xie Ke and went to find Chu.

Before entering the hospital, Xie Ke heard his mother's voice. "Shui Qing, go and see the stove, the fourth master is in a hurry for days, he must be very restless, let the stove stew some lotus seed soup...... The lotus seeds must be boiled slowly on low heat, and the fourth master likes to eat soft and rotten flavorful ...... Shuizhu, you go to the inner gate and wait, if you see a good talent, come and go back to me......" Chu's voice fell, and two voices, one light and one soft, responded, and then there were eager footsteps towards the courtyard gate.

Shui Qing and Shui Zhu saw Cheng and Xie Ke and bowed.

"Sister Shuizhu, I'm going to pick up my father too." Xie Ke struggled to get off the ground, holding Shui Zhu's hand and not letting go, looking like a fool.

Shui Zhu was embarrassed, Shui Qing covered his sleeves and snickered, and then the Chu clan, who heard the voice, walked over. looked at Xie Ke and nodded helplessly. "You girl, you're getting naughty and naughty. Shuizhu, let's take my sister with you, be careful not to let my sister fall and touch it. ”

Shui Zhu responded, took Xie Ke's little hand, and led Xie Ke to the inner door together.

The ladies of the house are not allowed to go out of the inner door without permission, which is a rule that has been passed down for thousands of years. Fortunately, Xie Ke is young, if he is a few years older, he is not even allowed to set foot in places like the inner door, where outsiders occasionally enter and exit. However, even if Shui Qing was ordered by the Chu family to go to the inner gate to wait for news, he could only wait in the inner courtyard, and the gate connecting the inner courtyard to the outer courtyard was guarded by mother-in-law in turn, even if it was a mouse, it was difficult to pass.

A few janitors saw Shuizhu leading a little girl from a distance.

Although they don't know this little girl, Shui Zhu is the big girl in the fourth grandmother's room, and they know it. Hurry up and talk.

The fourth grandmother ordered Miss Shuizhu to come here and wait for the fourth master...... The fourth grandmother and the fourth master are really a pair of fairy couples, I don't think there is a pair of masters in the house who can have a better relationship than the two of them...... "Most of the mothers-in-law are over forty years old, and they used to serve in the inner courtyard, and when they are older, they don't want to be released from the house and live a poor life with their children and grandchildren, so they ask their own masters......

Thinking of the feeling of service, he arranged for these mothers-in-law to take turns to guard the door, that is, they were not tired, but they also ate in the house, and there were rewards to receive during the New Year's Festival, which was really honorable.
