Chapter 90: Interpretation (3rd Update)
Revised.
****
This time, Mama Li's attitude was more humble and respectful than the last time, with a faint hint of flattery. When An Ruolan asked her to sit on the kang, she didn't sit down as seriously as last time, but stood on the side of the kang with her body bent, An Ruolan had to let Bailing bring the embroidery pier, and she sat down.
After sitting down, Mama Li recalled the past again, expounded Meng's love for An Ruolan, felt guilty and reluctant, and after Lala said a lot of miscellaneous things, she turned to the topic.
"Today, the slave maid came here without permission, and the slave maid has one thing hidden in her heart, and today, I really don't want to hide it from Miss Six anymore."
Mama Li's tone was very earnest, An Ruolan just raised her eyebrows and answered lightly, and then didn't answer.
Seeing this, Mama Li, who was waiting for her question, was a little anxious.
Moved uncomfortably, Mama Li added: "The slave maid saw that Mrs. was sad because Miss Six mentioned Princess Jin, and was worried that Miss Six would commit it again in the future, so she came over on her own. ”
"Oh?" An Ruolan finally opened her mouth and asked, "Why can't you put Aunt Nine in front of your mother?" I always heard my grandmother say that my mother and Aunt Nine were very good sisters. ”
"This ......" Mama Li's eyes wandered, and she said hesitantly: "Madame and Princess Jin are indeed very close sisters, but that is all in the past." Presumably Miss also remembered that in the past few years, Madame has never had anything to do with Princess Jin. ”
"I remember this, I just don't understand why my mother was separated from Aunt Jiu." An Ruolan shook her head with a puzzled face: "Now when my grandmother mentions the past between her mother and Aunt Jiu, she always can't help but sigh, but she always refuses to tell me the reason. ”
Hearing this, Mama Li sighed, looked at her face and said: "No wonder the old lady is reluctant to mention it, after all, it is a good thing to say, if it weren't for the fact that I was really sad to see Mrs. today, the slave didn't want to mention it." ”
An Ruolan raised her eyebrows slightly, motioning for her to continue.
Mama Li responded, so she said: "This has to start from before Miss was born......
Seven years ago, Meng and Princess Jin were still sisters with a very good relationship, and even if there were some rumors, the relationship between the two was still close.
That year, their two sisters became pregnant one after another, and the month was only one month away, and the two even said that if they gave birth to a male baby and a female baby in the future, the two would become in-laws, and they would be close to each other; If both of them are male babies, let the two children become brothers; If they are all girls, they naturally have to be the closest sisters.
At that time, the Jin Palace, the Meng State Mansion, and the Wenxin Marquis Mansion were all looking forward to the birth of the child, but in everyone's expectations, bad luck came.
When Princess Jin was eight months pregnant and Meng was seven months pregnant, the two sisters had an accident on the way to Tianlu Temple to pray for blessings. The carriage frightened the horse, and the two sisters were frightened, and they all showed signs of premature birth, so they had no choice but to let the accompanying maid and wife deliver the two in the wild.
It was a very difficult and chaotic day, the guards set up a fire in the suburbs, the attendants brought water from the nearby stream to heat it, the maids and women crowded in the carriage and begged and shouted at the two, from the scorching sun to dusk, the forest was full of screams and shouts, and the blood was poured out one basin after another, and now Mama Li still feels dizzy when she thinks about it.
On that day, it was not until the middle of the moon that the baby's cry was heard in the carriage, and the two sisters gave birth almost at the same time, and passed out at the same time.
"As the saying goes, seven lives do not live eight, Princess Jin was eight months pregnant at the time, and it was a difficult birth, and the child she gave birth to cried twice like a cat, and then lost her breath." Speaking of this, Mama Li wiped her face with trembling hands.
An Ruolan gasped, covered her lips in disbelief, and her body trembled uncontrollably. She thought of Aunt Jiu, who was cold and cold, and there was alienation between her eyebrows and eyes, and she couldn't believe that she had encountered such a thing.
Mama Li snorted heavily, and continued: "At that time, the prince of Jin was very sad, and it was difficult to cheer up, but I didn't want the princess of Jin to ...... It's crazy......"
"Crazy?" An Ruolan's heart jumped, and she intuitively didn't believe it. She couldn't associate the seemingly cold, but actually gentle Aunt Jiu with a madman. Aunt Nine looks so noble and elegant.
"Yes, it's crazy." Mama Li's withered hands trembled even more, and she took a deep breath before saying: "King Jin brought Princess Jin and Mrs. Jin back to King Jin's mansion, Princess Jin woke up and learned that the child died, and she went crazy on the spot, she cried and laughed, and insisted that Miss You are her child, she even injured Mrs. and snatched you over, and then if it wasn't for King Jin to stop you, I'm afraid you won't be by Madame's side now." ”
"You say...... Aunt Nine thinks I'm her child? An Ruolan frowned, no matter how she thought about it, she felt that it was too unbelievable.
"Yes." Mama Li nodded stiffly, as if she had thought of something terrible, and said tremblingly: "At that time, Princess Jin didn't listen to anyone's words at all, she injured a lot of people, and her strength was surprisingly strong, even the King of Jin, who was superb in martial arts, almost couldn't stop her, and she even wanted to jump into the lake with you!" ”
Speaking of the back, Mama Li suddenly raised her voice, and the sharp voice pierced people's brains.
An Ruolan rubbed the corners of her forehead and said in disbelief: "I haven't heard that there is anything abnormal about Aunt Jiu. ”
"That's because Princess Jin got better later!" Mama Li anxiously explained, "After that time, the King of Jin was worried that the princess of Jin would fall ill again, so he locked her up and invited a lot of doctors to see, including the imperial doctor of the palace, and the famous divine doctor in the mortal world, and even invited the monk and Taoist priest to the palace of the king of Jin, as well as the place where the child was born to open a dojo to read scriptures. ”
After saying it in one breath, Mama Li wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "After two years like this, Princess Jin gradually got better." Since then, Madame and Princess Jin have stopped contacting, Madame is always worried that Princess Jin will snatch you away, because she does not dare to let you out of the house, nor dare you contact outsiders, even when others mention Princess Jin, Madame is so afraid. ”
Aunt An Ruolan nodded thoughtfully, if it was really what Mama Li said, it would explain why Aunt Nine was so excited to see her, why her mother would have such a big reaction when she heard her mention Aunt Jiu, and why her mother didn't like her contact with outsiders in her previous life and present life.
It all makes sense, but she always feels that something is wrong, something seems to be floating in her mind, she knows that it is very important, she stretches out her hand to grasp it, but she can't grasp it, this sense of powerlessness makes her inexplicably uneasy and anxious.
After pondering for a while, she grasped one of the doubts and asked, "You just said that the prince of Jin brought the ninth aunt and his mother back to the palace of the king of Jin, why didn't his mother return to the mansion of the Marquis of Wenxin?" ”
If it had been a reply to the Hou Mansion, the rest would not have happened.
Mama Li had expected that she would have questions, but she didn't expect her to ask about this, so she couldn't help but smile playfully when she heard this, and replied, "Miss Six, you are still young, and it's normal to not understand." After giving birth, a woman has injuries on her body, and she cannot move them at will, otherwise the injuries will be aggravated. What's more, at that time, the princess and the lady of Jin were both dystocia, and the injuries on their bodies were more serious than ordinary people, and the king of Jin was also kind, afraid that the lady would aggravate the injury on the way back to the Marquis of Wenxin's mansion, after asking the old lady and the fifth master's opinion, he asked the lady to prepare a courtyard in the palace and let the lady stay to recuperate. ”
"Oh." An Ruolan nodded as if she understood or not, she had never given birth to a child in her previous life, and she didn't know if there was such a thing.
After a pause, she asked again: "Did Aunt Jiu's abnormality make a big deal back then?" ”
"Not big." Mama Li shook her head, "The incident happened in the Jin Palace, when the King of Jin suppressed the matter, no one dared to talk nonsense, outsiders only knew that the Princess of Jin was not in good health after giving birth, and she had been raising her body in the Jin Palace." Even the grandfather and the old marquis don't know about this. ”
"Then ......" An Ruolan wanted to ask again, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to ask, and after hesitating for a while, she said: "Is Aunt Jiu's child male or female?" ”
Mama Li's eyes flashed slightly, and she hesitated for a while before replying, "It's a boy." ”
"Oh." An Ruolan nodded, feeling a little astringent in her heart.
Seeing that she was uncertain, Mama Li cautiously asked, "Why did Miss Six suddenly mention Princess Jin today?" An astonishing guess popped up in her mind, and she quickly suppressed it.
"Ah...... Oh, I just heard my grandmother mention it a lot, and I was a little curious. An Ruolan came back to her senses and replied with a faint smile.
Mama Li frowned slightly, bowed her head thoughtfully, and after a while, she said: "Sixth Miss, the slave maid has one more mouth, I hope you can forgive me, although Madame's method is not used properly, but in the final analysis, I care too much about you, in the future, you should go out of the house less, and don't inquire about Princess Jin again." ”
Saying that, she cried again, "Madame has been suffering all these years, she is unwilling and reluctant to have a relationship with Princess Jin, but for your sake, she can only do this." Because Madame didn't let Princess Jin see you, Princess Jin had already hated Madame. ”
"Mrs. lives day and night with guilt and self-blame, always thinking that she hurt Princess Jin, saying that if she hadn't mentioned it to pray for blessings, what would not have happened later."
"Miss Six, you should give Mrs. a peace of mind, and listen to Mrs. in the future, Mrs. was desperate to give birth to you in childbirth!"
Mama Li cried every word, and An Ruolan couldn't help but be moved.
She was already concerned about her mother, and after listening to such an old story, while feeling sorry for Aunt Jiu's loss of her child, she also cherished the mother-daughter relationship with her mother even more, she was indeed soft-hearted, and for a moment, she almost nodded and agreed to Mama Li's request, but in the end, she still maintained a little sanity.
Listen to your mother and follow the path of your previous life?
Because he only revolves around his mother in his life, he has no friends, no other relatives, and no lovers like in his previous life?
That's not what she wants.
She still remembered that she could no longer be as obedient to her mother as she had been in her previous life.
Closing her eyes heavily, she said solemnly: "I am very grateful to my mother for raising me, I will honor her all my life, but when I grow up, I have my own ideas and things I want to do, and I can't follow my mother's arrangement in everything." ”
Hearing this, Mama Li's face changed instantly.
