Chapter 2 Onset
Just in the spring, the mountains and fields in the north of the river are lush and green.
The trees and flowers that are occasionally encountered by chance next to the official road are also unwatched, or the branches are empty, or lonely and withered, and the horse's hooves of the answer, from south to north, startled all the way to birdsong......
Although it is almost spring in March, the place north of the Jijiang River is especially cold in spring, and the misty rain in the past few days has added a bit of chill. The mother-in-law in the carriage lightly lowered a corner of the sedan curtain, turned around and added a few pieces of silver carbon to the brazier, looked at the figure lying quietly in the carriage, and sighed softly.
It's the fourth day of this onset, and the lady hasn't woken up yet!
I don't know what kind of disease she has, headache, forgetfulness, coma, consulting doctors and medicines for nearly a year, the condition is good and bad, but the recent attacks are much more frequent, plus this time, this month is the third episode!
Is it wrong to assert oneself in the end? Or is there no prophecy at all? The mother-in-law looked at the burning charcoal fire and fell into deep thought......
"Mother-in-law Chensu, the lady's honey loquat dew is ready." The girl Banxiang carefully lifted the cotton sedan curtain and entered the car, with a smile on her delicate face.
"Be quiet." The mother-in-law, who was called dust, looked back and whispered, took the blue and white painted gold pot and gently put it on the carved mahogany coffee table next to the carbon stove to warm it.
Banxiang playfully stuck out her tongue and looked at the figure lying flat in the step, and the smile on her face faded.
"Mother-in-law, it's been four days this time, why hasn't the lady woken up yet?"
"Hey, it's good that the lady can wake up before she gets home." Chensu looked at the thinner and thinner woman again and sighed.
"Then, is the Su family in Cen Zhou really our lady's family?" As soon as she heard the word "home", Banxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurriedly asked.
"Ahem, ahem......" The sound of continuous coughing interrupted their conversation.
"Ah, lady, lady, you're awake!" Banxiang hurriedly picked up the woman and patted her on the back to smooth her.
"Lady, this is freshly steamed honey loquat dew, it's warm, you can drink some to moisten your throat." Chen Su poured half a cup of tea soup, but did not hand it directly to the woman, but picked up the small silver soup spoon on the side and prepared to feed her.
The woman in front of her, although she was half-leaning on Banxiang's body, was still wearing a cyan gauze dress, but her skin was like cream, her eyebrows were picturesque, and thousands of green silk were pouring down, which was very beautiful and vulgar!
But if you look at this woman carefully, Danfeng's eyes, her eyelashes are long and curly, and those eyes are like autumn water, like cold stars, like treasure beads, but the white kernel is very small, the black kernel is very big, and it is empty, it always seems that something is missing, as if she is looking at you, but not at you!
At this moment, Banxiang has this feeling, and always feels that the lady's eyes are beautiful, but she is becoming more and more sluggish!
"This ...... This, you ...... You guys? The woman gently pushed away the honey soup sent over with one hand, her eyes slowly turned around, and she looked at the girl, as if she had thought for a long time before she struggled to spit out these words, but she didn't want to make such a hoarse and jerky voice.
The dusty woman with the tea cup felt cold in her heart, and was about to ask, but Banxiang, who was half-hugging the lady, had already taken the lead.
"Ah, the lady forgot again, didn't she?" She looked at the woman's blank look and smiled playfully.
"Okay, I'll say it again, the lady remembers, I'll ask tomorrow!" When the woman heard this, she couldn't help frowning.
"Half incense, don't mess around!" Although Chen Su said this, he was very happy when he saw the lady frowning, and she frowned, and her expression changed again, and it seemed that it was better than before!
"Oh, I know Mother-in-law!" The half-fragrant girl said with a small mouth and a half-pout.
"Lady, what about me, it's half-incense, your little girl. This is Granny Dust. She pointed to the mother-in-law in front of her.
"Lady, I recently learned that you are the only daughter of the Su family in Cenzhou, Su Muli, that is, the daughter of the late General Su Changfeng." She said this, her face filled with joy and excitement, as if it was a very proud and happy thing!
Compared with the barren mountains and mountains a few days ago, coarse tea and light rice are indeed a great thing!
Today's spacious and atmospheric carriage, carved and inlaid mahogany soft pedals, blue and white fine porcelain gilded tea cups, and the box full of cloisonné gemstone headdresses, even this charcoal stove is broken silver.
Chensu lowered his eyes and looked around him, and then looked at the woman in Tsing Yi who looked demented, and sighed lightly.
The lady's family must be excellent, but I don't know if the future will be better......
"Lady, you were amazing that day, with a swish, dozens of silver needles pierced into Mrs. Liu's head, and the slave maid looked, the movement of your hand that day was much smoother and more beautiful than the previous few times!" Banxiang said with a gesture, her eyes were shining because of excitement.
The woman half-sitting in front of her stepped did not react in the slightest, and did not even move her eyes.
"Lady, you don't know, those people say that you are a god descending to earth, the Bodhisattva manifests, and then one by one they worshiped us, and now, it is estimated that the people of Jizhou County know that there is a fairy lady, the Bodhisattva manifests, and the magic hand is rejuvenated!"
The more Banxiang spoke, the more excited she became, looking at the lady in front of her, but she still had empty eyes and a wooden look, and she still didn't react!
"Lady, you didn't see it at the time, Zhou Zhixian's expression was the most interesting, especially when she saw Mrs. Liu wake up, her mouth was wide enough to swallow an egg alive!" Banxiang opened his mouth wide, trying to imitate Zhou Zhixian's shocked expression at that time.
"Did the lady forget Zhou Zhixian again? It was later said that you were the daughter of General Su Changfeng of the Su family in Cenzhou, and I showed us the notice of missing people, it turned out that the lady's family had been looking for you, and the palm-sized veil was actually a relic of the general's wife! She looked at the woman in front of her and said vigorously.
But the woman in Tsing Yi on the soft couch stared at the girl who was already sweating slightly in front of her forehead, but her expression still did not change!!
A hint of pain flashed across Banxiang's face.
Hey, why is it so hard to make a lady happy!
Because of the dusty mother-in-law, the last time the lady listened to her speak, she frowned and her expression changed, indicating that her condition had improved, and she was told to laugh with the lady more, but today she performed so hard but it had no effect at all, lady, you move your eyes, bend your mouth, you just cry, and it is stronger than you have no reaction at all now!
She sighed silently, but there were words of suffering in her heart.
There's no way, it seems that I can only teach the lady to pronounce.
Speaking of which, this Su lady is very pitiful! Born a mute girl, although she can listen and write, extremely intelligent, but how to heal can not say a word, since childhood and fatherless and motherless, only the dust mother-in-law has been by her side to take care of it, and later, because of fate, she will get this little girl who is almost the same age, and there is a lot of excitement around her.
A year ago, after a high fever, she began to fall ill, forgetful, lethargic, demented, and sometimes even like two people! However, it has improved a lot in terms of language learning! I don't know where she learned it, touching the speaker's throat and staring at the changes in his lips and teeth can slowly learn to pronounce it, although the onset is slow, but compared to the single pronunciation of "ahhhhhh
Thinking of the first time when the lady inexplicably put her hand to her mother-in-law's neck, especially when she saw her mother-in-law's eyes staring like two lanterns, Banxiang couldn't help but smile, it is really rare for a person with such a calm mother-in-law to have this expression. Up to now, learning pronunciation has become the only thing that will change the lady's expression, or it can be said that the lady is interested in something.
"Half-incense, incense-incense-" The girl knelt down and pronounced clearly and slowly, while Su Niangzi touched the throat of the little girl, staring at her tongue, lips and teeth when she spoke, and tried to draw a scoop like a gourd.
"Chin-Chin-"
"No, no, lady, it's Xiang-" Banxiang shook her head, "Come, look at me, Xiang-Xiang-" She pointed to her mouth and continued to teach patiently.
The fine sweat mark oozing from his forehead wet the green silk on his temples, but Su Muli didn't notice it, his tongue moved again, and he opened his mouth, "Qin-".
"Hey, lady, why can't you learn my name, don't you just remember Murong Qin's son?" Banxiang rolled her eyes weakly, patted her head, and sighed again and again.
As soon as Su Muli heard these words, the huge black kernel beads in her eyes seemed to shake for a moment, and she inadvertently blurted out "Mu-Murong-Qin".
"In the next compound surname Murong, a single name and a Qin character", the familiar figure appeared in front of him, "Come, I'll teach you, Mu-Rong-Qin", the man in white, with a shallow smile, repeatedly taught the woman who was staring at him with a blank face in front of him, word by word.
At that time, it was an early summer afternoon, and the sparse sunlight was refracted from the back onto his wide-sleeved white clothes, and there was a faint fluorescence all over his body.
"Lady, do you remember?"
"What's your name?"
"Do you know who you are? Who are you? The soft voice of inquiry still seemed to echo in his ears.
Who are you, who are you?
Who am I, who am I?
Suddenly, the figure of the man in white in front of him evaporated, replaced by a hideous face, and his blood-stained hands were stuck dead on the woman with a red face and purple lips, and shouted loudly: "Who are you, say, who are you-"
"Ahh
Su Muli's dull eyes suddenly erupted with deep fear, and she saw her holding her head with both hands, sliding down weakly and kneeling down, trembling all over, and her mouth kept babbling!
"What's the matter, lady, lady!"
Banxiang hurriedly rushed over and hugged the trembling delicate woman, and shouted loudly at the mouth of the sedan curtain: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, come quickly!" Come on!! ”
