Chapter 9: Water Hibiscus on a Moonlit Night

Yu Qiusu followed Yu Jing's room, there was no special situation, she had to listen to her brother play two songs almost every day to sleep, Yu Jing was also used to it, picked up a bamboo flute from the case, and asked directly: "Which song is today?" ”

"Water Hibiscus." Yu Qiusu was greedy and authentic.

"You listen to this song every day?" Yu Jing said with a smile.

"Because this is your own song, brother." Yu Qiusu tilted his head and said as a matter of course.

Yu Jing flattened his mouth and smiled, lifted the tube to his lips, and the melodious sound of the flute flowed from the pipe.

This is made by Yu Jing for his love of lotus flowers, so Yu Qiusu also likes to listen to it. The sound of the flute is clear and tactful, peeking through the window, as if it is about to float to the lotus pond by the moonlight, so that the water hibiscus can listen to the endless praise of the flute. Under the hazy moonlight, I reveled in this pair of young brothers and sisters.

The moonlit night is like a fingertip gap, and a new day quickly replaces it. Yu Qiusu sat in her mother's room to accompany her to be a female celebrity, but saw Zhang come in and said: "Mrs., my nephew in my hometown brought a message, saying that he was going to get married, and asked me to go back to help preside over his family affairs." ”

When Xu heard this, he pulled Zhang to sit down and said, "Sister-in-law Zhang, this is a great joy, I congratulate you first!" ”

Zhang said: "Yes, madam, I have no heirs, just this one nephew, my brother and sister-in-law died early, so I have always treated him as a son." Because the family is poor, he has not married a relative, and now he can finally pass on the lineage. Zhang was about to cry with joy.

Xu said: "You have been in our house for so many years, just like our family, I want to prepare a gift for my nephew to marry!" By the way, when are you going to leave? ”

Zhang said: "I want to wait until I pack up and leave the day after tomorrow." ”

"Mother, I also want to go with the nurse." Yu Qiusu's eyes were shining, but his voice was still weak.

Xu Shi persuaded: "The nurse is going to do business, you are young, how can you go a long way, don't make a mess." ”

Yu Qiusu was told by her mother, so she had to lower her head and say nothing, but her mouth was slightly upturned, obviously unwilling.

Zhang watched her grow up since she was a child, how could anyone who didn't know her thoughts, and said: "Mrs., since Miss wants to go, let her go, I watched her grow up since she was a child, and I treated her as a daughter, my nephew married, and let Miss go to a happy bar!" ”

When Xu saw Zhang's words, it was not easy to refuse, besides, with Zhang's personality, she naturally believed that she could take care of her daughter, but she had to go with two more people, so she was more at ease, and after thinking about it, she said: "Well, since this is the case, I will let Baolu and Xiangyun accompany you, and you can take care of you all the way." ”

Yu Qiusu saw that her mother agreed to come down, and she couldn't help but be happy.

"Miss is saying that we can leave for the nurse's hometown the day after tomorrow?" Xiangyun was also very happy when he heard the news that he could travel far away.

"Well, my mother is not at ease, and she specially asked Baolu to go with us." Yu Qiusu said while looking at what he should bring.

Xiangyun's face flushed, and then she couldn't help but smile slightly. Yu Qiusu just turned around and saw it: "What's wrong?" I was ecstatic just now, why did I suddenly rein in? ”

"It's nothing, I'll clean up the things for Miss." Xiangyun hurriedly looked left and right about him.

At dinnertime, Xu Shi said this, and Yu Jing heard that his sister was going to travel far away, so he reluctantly said: "Susu, do you really want to leave?" I've heard that this one comes and goes for months. ”

"Well," Yu Qiusu said, "It's been a long time, it's just that the second brother, I've never been out before, this time I really want to go with the nurse and go out to see what the outside world is like." ”

Yu Hong said: "We also know that you want to go, but we are worried that you have never been far away, and you have never had any contact with the living, so I am afraid that you will not be adapted." ”

Yu Qiusu looked at the two elder brothers and said, "Brother, don't you rest assured, isn't there still a nurse and Xiangyun with you." ”

Yu Shouqian saw that his daughter's heart had probably flown out of the house at this time, so he explained to his daughter some words such as obeying the nurse's words in everything, so he didn't ask anymore.

The next day, Yu Qiusu got up and washed, holding the cricket in his hand, planning to put it in his arms and take it away, but he was afraid that he would accidentally crush it along the way, so he asked Xiangtao to come to a box, carefully put it inside, and then put it in a bag, so as to rest assured.

When I ran to the second brother's room, I saw that the paintings on the case had dried up, a glass of water, and a bamboo flute, but what about the second brother? When I walked to the hall, I saw Yu Jing putting something in a cloth bag, and when I looked over, it turned out to be a hard-boiled egg. Seeing his sister come out, Yu Jing said: "My mother cooked it and let you take it on the road." ”

Yu Qiusu nodded and asked, "What about Dad and Big Brother?" ”

Yu Jing said: "I heard that something happened to one of my father's friends, and my father and eldest brother went out before dawn." ”

packed up and stopped, and the mother and son sent Qiu Su directly to the car. The wheels sounded, Yu Qiusu lifted the curtain, waved to his family, saw his mother and second brother looking at him, and did not leave for a long time, and faintly heard the second brother's shout: "Susu, you have to come back quickly!" ”

The car was busy, and the voices of people gradually became loud, and they arrived at a small town. Bao Lu lifted the curtain and said, "It's getting late, it seems that we have to rest in this town, otherwise we won't be able to stay in time." ”

The carriage stopped in front of an inn, and Yu Qiusu and the three of them began to pick up their baggage and get off the car.

"Be careful, miss." Zhang saw that Yu Qiusu almost tripped when he got out of the car, and hurriedly stepped forward to help.

Yu Qiusu hugged Zhang and said, "Nurse, why did you come out, I began to miss my father and brother." ”

Xiangyun took the burden and said, "That's because Miss has never been far away, and now she has left home all of a sudden, how can she not want to?" ”

Zhang also said: "Xiangyun is right, miss, let's rest at the inn first." ”

After settling in the inn, Xiangyun said, "Miss, it's still early, why don't we go for a walk around the street?" ”

"If you are not familiar with the place, the girl's family, don't go out casually." Zhang's Road.

"Don't worry, Bao Lu said he would follow us." Xiangyun pulled Yu Qiusu and said, "Miss, it's hard to come out, let's go, go out and have a look." ”

Sure enough, as soon as the two of them went out, they saw Baolu coming up: "Miss, what novel things do you like today, I'll buy them for you!" ”

Xiangyun smiled: "Okay, but what you said." "In front of a rouge gouache stall, I started picking.

The stall owner smiled: "The two girls are really water spirits, this little girl is so young, she actually has such a character." If you two use my rouge cream and incense powder here, they will really look like immortals. ”

Xiangyun smiled: "This boss is so good at talking, miss, do you want to pick one?" ”

Yu Qiusu chuckled, and then said with a straight face: "Xiangyun, if you say something unseemly to me again, I will be rude to you." ”

Xiangyun smiled and begged for mercy: "Miss, don't be angry, I'm also happy, I don't cover my mouth, Miss doesn't need these at this time, but how about this?" She picked up a peach wood comb from the side of the fat powder and combed Yu Qiusu twice, "This comb is good, do you want it?" ”

Yu Qiusu took the comb and said, "It seems that if I don't want to buy something, you don't want to go, okay, just this comb." ”

Xiangyun also immediately picked one or two pieces in his hand, glanced back at Baolu, and summoned: "Uncle Baolu, pay the silver." ”

Then I walked through several stalls and shops, some selling dolls, cloth, etc., and then walked to the stall of a hairpin ring headdress, Xiangyun picked a hairpin and inserted it in his hair and said, "Miss, do you think it looks good?" ”

"It's beautiful, it's beautiful!" Bao Lu rushed to the side.

"I'm asking Miss, I want you to talk more." Xiangyun glared at him, although it was a strange word, it was soft and glutinous, and it made people feel soft and crisp when they heard it.

"Xiangyun, it's not too early," Yu Qiusu said, "After shopping here, let's go back quickly, otherwise the nurse will be in a hurry." ”

Xiangyun pulled out the hairpin, picked another hairpin in his hand and said, "Well, buy this hairpin and leave." ”

On the way back, I saw someone holding a rock sugar gourd for sale, and Xiangyun mentioned again: "Miss, let Baolu buy a few strings of that rock sugar gourd, it looks delicious!" When Bao Lu heard this, he didn't say a word, so he took out the silver.

"How's it going, Miss? I said delicious, right? Xiangyun took a bite and smiled.

Yu Qiusu took a bite, only to feel sweet and sour, and the taste was really refreshing, and said: "I didn't expect this kind of thing to be both beautiful and delicious." ”
