Chapter 102: Go Back
Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Zhi knelt in the small ancestral hall, silently looking at the tablet above. Jiangli Village is too far away, and it is inconvenient to go back every time to worship the ancestors, so Jiang Xun made a small ancestral hall at home, and all the people he visited were the tablets of the ancestors.
Jiang Chun moved the pestle and sat outside the ancestral hall to talk to them, and said suspiciously: "Aren't these ladies and young ladies very happy when they leave today?" We didn't say anything wrong to offend people today, and we didn't knock over things, I didn't dare to pick up a few chopsticks on the dishes, and I didn't smash my mouth when I chewed something, why did I punish you for kneeling? ”
Jiang Zhi moved, knelt on the futon in a different position, although she was also puzzled in her heart, she still trusted her mother very much.
"My mother told us to kneel, then we must have done something wrong. Every time I do something wrong, sometimes I don't realize it, my mother will make me kneel by myself, and when I think about what is wrong, it will make me get up. Jiang Zhi didn't care, and there was joy in her tone: "I usually kneel alone, but now that I can be with my sister, I think this small ancestral hall is not so cramped." ”
Jiang Qu smiled bitterly: "This is a good thing. But the look her mother looked at her always came to mind, and she felt very uncomfortable.
"Sister, you are not used to kneeling, just get used to it. My mother usually only punished me for kneeling in the ancestral hall and copying books, but she never beat me. I've heard that a lot of people beat their daughters. Jiang Zhi said and trembled.
"Hi" Jiang Chun shouted, "What are you afraid of, if your mother beats you, you won't run." Since I was a child, my mother was angry and wanted to beat me, but I ran so fast that she couldn't catch up, and then went to Xingni's house to hide for two days. When my mother is discouraged, then she won't beat me. As he spoke, he leaned against the door and looked up at the sky: "I don't know if my mother is resting now?" Did you miss me. ”
Listened to this. Jiang Quinoa's empty heart finally settled down, and she was also homesick, thinking about Aunt Rong, Uncle Qing, Brother Zhuzi, Sister Lotus at home, and Xingni, Zhao Liang, Jiang Cheng, and every evening with the smoke curling, the roosters and dogs barking, and the small rural villages that were crisscrossing the country.
She finally knew something was wrong.
Her mother. never treated her as a daughter, and even had a vague hatred for her.
"Sister, what's wrong with you? Why are you crying? Jiang Zhi asked timidly. I was fine just now, why did I cry all of a sudden?
Jiang Qu raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhi through hazy teary eyes, she felt that her mother loved her sister at first. It's because my sister Xiao is like a father. And the younger brother Jiang Weiran and his mother grew up in the same mold, and they grew up in front of their father, so their father and mother love them more. But no, it's not.
If you really love your children, when they do something wrong, they will reprimand, scold, and teach them to be human beings.
But Liu never reprimanded, beat and scolded her.
She came back late from playing with Jiang Chun and missed the meal. Her mother just said a few words to her, if it weren't for Jiang Zhi's mouth. She won't even be punished for copying books.
My sister said a lot, and her mother punished her sister for copying books, and made her kneel in the inner room at night to think about what was wrong, and teach her sister how to do things and behave.
She wants to go outside to play, as long as she brings the maid to lead the way, no matter when she wants to go out, who she goes out with, where to play, her mother never says anything, as long as she comes back according to the point.
My sister said that Miss Everybody couldn't go out here to show her face, but her mother never told her.
And today, she and Jiang Chun went to the thatched house, and listened to the two ladies talking outside the thatched house, they didn't know what medicine was sold in the Jiang family's gourd, and thought that it was for Jiang Xun's promotion that they had squeezed into the ranks of the six-rank officials, and wanted to hold a spring banquet to announce everyone, but they didn't want to quietly launch a concubine who had been rewarded by the saints.
The servant woman at home said that her sister was going to celebrate her birthday, and her mother was busy ordering things outside, and on her birthday, she also asked people to go outside the city to send blessings, just to let everyone touch her sister's blessings and accumulate blessings for her sister. Originally, it was just an ordinary birthday, but it was also known to several families who were familiar with each other, and the children's birthdays were not easy for the wives to come, but they all let the ladies of the family send congratulatory gifts.
This is the attitude towards my daughter. My daughter is a year older, and I want everyone to know and congratulate her on growing up.
But to her, her mother covered her to death, and even the people of the Chen family that she had always trusted and relied on, she didn't tell her.
Why don't you dare to say it? Because I think she is a shame, something that is difficult to talk about.
"Chun'er, do you want to go home? Shall we go back tomorrow? Jiang Quinoa asked in a choked voice.
Jiang Chun, who was half leaning against the door, was still thinking about her mother, and she didn't react when she heard this, and when she was sure of what she heard, she asked again and again: "Did you just say that you wanted to go home?" Do you want to go back to Jiangli Village? Saying that, she couldn't care about Liu's words, rushed into the ancestral hall and squatted beside Jiang Quinoa, and asked worriedly, seeing Jiang Quinoa nodding, she immediately cheered.
Liu walked to the door, just when he heard this, his face suddenly sank and frightened. "Home? This is not your home, where is your home? Which home are you going back to? Liu asked angrily.
Jiang Qu heard her voice, raised her head to look at her, and her tone carried resentment that she didn't even notice: "Where is my home, who is my family, don't you know, mother?" You say that this is my home, but I have no relatives here, no family care, and I don't feel the warmth of home here at all. Can this be my home? ”
"What do you mean? Think I don't care about you and take care of you? You touched your conscience and said, you have been at home for half a month, where have I treated you half a point, is it short of your food or less of your clothing? It's just that you knelt down in the ancestral hall and repented in front of your ancestors, so you have a long memory, you just cry like this, and say the words that are heart-wrenching, sure enough, I have disciplined you less since I was a child, and now I can't even say a word about you? Liu said angrily.
"Tell yourself what you're doing right today, right? Miss Chen Er kindly gave you a meeting gift, which is to look up to you, you then thanked you, and others will say that you understand the courtesy, but what about you? In front of everyone, you gave Miss Chen Er's reward to Ah Zhi, who are you slapping in the face? You are a dumpling from the countryside and don't know etiquette. even transferred things to Ah Zhi, what kind of heart do you have? It doesn't have to make people think that Ah Zhi is short-sighted like you. Is it rude? Liu drank.
Jiang Quinoa looked at this person who had always been very dignified and virtuous in her impression, and at this moment she was like a cat with fried hair, and the hair on her whole body stood up like thorns, and whoever approached her would be stabbed.
"Is this how my mother thinks of quinoa?" Jiang Qu asked in a daze, looked at Jiang Zhi, who was already stunned next to her, and asked, "Does my sister like the gift given by Miss Chen Er?" ”
Jiang Zhi touched the purse she was carrying with her and wanted to nod, but she couldn't stop in Liu's fierce gaze and wanted to shake her head. I couldn't help but go against my heart in Jiang Quinoa's soft gaze.
"What about you, dumb, speak." Liu's impatient thick rope urged.
Jiang Zhi was shocked. Jiang Quinoa patted her face with pity, what does this have to do with her, she was also implicated by herself.
"Mother, don't implicate your sister. At that time, I just didn't like Miss Chen's high-minded attitude. Even with the gift she gave was not happy. I don't see anything good about it, so I'll give it to my sister since she likes it. What's wrong with giving something I don't like, to my sister I like? Why do you want me to kneel in the ancestral hall with my sister? Jiang asked loudly. After coming to Jiangfu these days, she has always felt that the discord is now finally explained.
"You are a native bun from the countryside who doesn't understand anything, can Ah Zhi be as willful as you? She grew up in the capital since she was a child, and was raised by a young lady from a big family, and later married into a family with the right family as the daughter-in-law of the family. With such shallow eyes and noses, what broken things are picked up happily if they are not wanted. That's how I taught you? Liu Shi was angry and didn't choose to speak.
Jiang Zhi had never seen such a Liu family, and she had never been reprimanded by her such evil words, so she immediately cried in fright.
Jiang Qu held her in his arms and patted her to soothe, Jiang Chun's eyebrows were erected, and the whole person rushed to Jiang Quinoa, looking at Liu with a menacing attitude, in the end, she still remembered that she was an elder who didn't dare to open her mouth to fight back at will, and only shouted: "If my aunt wants to swear and come at me, I grew up in the village since I was a child, and I have to listen to two or three times a day about the shrew's scolding on the street, I am not afraid of your scolding, but Ah Quinoa and Sister Ah Zhi are both little girls, thin-skinned, but I can't listen to your heart-wrenching words." ”
Liu Shi was immediately angry, this means that she is a shrew.
Yao's mother was guarding the door, listening to the more and more trouble inside, she was in a hurry, and she couldn't care about the rules of the family, and the servants couldn't enter the ancestral hall, so she rushed in to support Liu, and carefully comforted: "Madam, you dissipate your anger, several young ladies are small, and they speak openly." Child's words are untaboo, and children's words are taboo. ”
Liu was full of grievances and indignation, and had nowhere to go, so he took Yao's mother's hand and said, "This is my daughter, and they are all complaining." ”
Jiang Quinoa sighed in his heart, took Liu's hand and asked, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Liu Shi felt disgusted even when he glanced at her, let alone let her touch it, Liu Shi shook off her hand and said coldly: "Didn't you say you wanted to leave?" You will get out of here as soon as tomorrow dawns, don't come to the capital in this life, I don't want to see you. As he spoke, he felt puzzled, and said viciously: "Why are you alive?" Do you know how many people you have to sleep while you live? I look at you and feel disgusted, you should have died a long time ago, you know? You're dead, we're all free, we're all free. He began to cry and laugh.
Yao's mother had never seen such a gaffe Liu, so she glanced at the maid outside, and the two of them came to help Liu away.
Jiang Quinoa was stunned by these vicious words, but a voice in her heart shouted: "You see that's it, everyone doesn't like you, grandmother doesn't like you, your mother doesn't like you, they all look forward to your death." ”
Jiang Quinoa was disheartened, the whole person was wooden, Jiang Chun looked at her worriedly, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
I felt uncomfortable listening to those words, let alone quinoa. Aunt Xun is really hypocritical, she usually looks at a good person, every time she thinks that her mind is so dark, her mouth is so vicious, and she can say words that make people die in front of a little girl.
"Ah Quinoa, don't be afraid, no matter what happens, I will be with you. Let's go back tomorrow. Jiang Chun held her hand, gave her warmth, and gave her strength.
"I'll go to Brother Shunzi and ask him if Ming'er will go with us, and then ask him to go to the dart bureau to ask, and find someone from the Li family dart bureau to escort us back. Lao Chen's driving skills are good, Li Dart's kung fu is good, and with their escort, we are not afraid of anyone we meet along the way. The room was quiet, full of sad atmosphere, in it, Jiang Chun wanted to cry, only the non-stop talking made her feel better.
"Oh, let's go, I forgot to buy gifts for my mother and Xingni. When I left, I said that I would bring back the specialties of the capital for them. When I go out for a walk, I always think that it is still early to go back, and maybe there are better things to buy for my mother and them, but now I have to go back without buying anything. Jiang Chun said with some regret.
Cai Lu brought a pot of tea over, and asked in a panic, "Are the eldest lady and Miss Chun'er planning to leave?" Where to go? ”
Jiang Chun didn't have a good impression of everything in this house now, so he glanced at her and said, "Of course, I'm going back to Jiangli Village." We are dirt buns, of course, we have to go to our soil, and I was thought that I didn't know what kind of tongue the people in this house were chewing behind our backs. ”
"The slave has never said anything like this." Cai Lu hurriedly said: "Will the eldest lady take me with you?" ”
"Why are you taking you away, you are a subordinate of the Jiang Mansion, but not a Quinoa, where does she have the right to take you away." Jiang Chun patted his head as he spoke, "That's right, Ah Quinoa, the Ayin you brought here should be called Caiyin now, do you want to take her away?" ”
Jiang Quinoa was stunned for so long, and finally accepted these facts in his heart, and said tiredly: "You go and ask Caiyin, if she wants to, she will go to Jiangli Village with us." ”
Jiang Chun responded, got up hurriedly and said: "Then I'll ask her, and by the way, I'll ask Brother Shunzi too, and I'll go back to pack up my salutes, but I didn't have many things when I came, and it was just as easy to go back." And when he had said this, he went out.
Jiang Qu looked around the room, when she first came, it was empty, she lived with Jiang Chun and didn't think there was anything wrong, and then Mrs. asked people to open the warehouse, brought furniture over, and got all kinds of things to decorate this place, but it was more like a little girl's boudoir. There are also a few newly made clothes on their bodies, the jewelry given by Mrs. yesterday, and all the things that can be packed into a cage casually, but Jiang Chun still says that there is little courtesy? It should be the same as her, who has no sense of belonging to the things here, and thinks that the things they bring are what they really belong to, and these things don't belong to them, so they won't take them away.
"Jiangli Village is far away from the capital, and it is in the countryside, so you don't have any future with me. Besides, you still have your family here, and you can still see them all year round anyway, but if you go to Jiangli Village with me, you may not be able to see them until you die, so you should stay. Jiang Quinoa said and got up and called the box on the table, took out a string of money from it and handed it to Cai Lu: "I don't have any money on me, this is the monthly money sent last time, I bought a kite and left so much, you can take it." ”
Cai Lu put his hands behind him, shook his head with tears on his face, and said, "Miss, you said last time that you wanted me to be your maid, and if you can't talk, it won't be a word." (To be continued......)
