Chapter 35: Belittlement
An Ruolan looked down at the quaint bracelet on her wrist, and her heart was turbulent.
If she is not mistaken, the Buddhist beads on this bracelet are all made of rumored exotic sacred wood.
The so-called exotic sacred wood is a kind of rare fragrant wood that is paid tribute by foreign countries, because of its quiet and ancient appearance, and it is not invaded by a hundred poisons, it has the effect of warding off evil spirits and helping luck, nourishing the body and benefiting the body, and it has always been a royal thing.
In her previous life, Wei Xing exchanged her military exploits for such a bracelet and gave it to her for self-cultivation.
Guarding ......
Seeing things and thinking about people, at this moment, those memories that were hidden deep in my heart and deliberately not recalled came to my mind again.
Fingertips caressing the smooth and round wooden beads, feeling the timeless and smooth handwriting on it, An Ruolan suppressed the surging emotions and said in a low voice: "Thank you, second aunt, Lan'er will definitely cherish it." β
Zhou Mengshi smiled slightly and took Zhou Mi'er into the carriage.
After getting into the car, Zhou Mengshi lifted the car curtain, waved his hand at Meng Shi and An Ruolan, and said, "Hurry back, don't suffer from the wind cold again." β
Meng Shi bowed his head and said politely: "Second sister go slowly, and come to the Hou Mansion to sit in the future." β
Zhou Mengshi nodded lukewarmly, lowered the curtain, the groom shouted, and the carriage slowly drove away from the front of the Hou Mansion.
When the carriage turned the corner, Meng Shi took An Ruolan and turned around and entered the door.
In the carriage, Zhou Mi'er snuggled up to Zhou Meng's side, opened her mouth to speak and stopped, after a while, she finally couldn't help but ask: "Mother, why don't you tell Sister SΓΉlan, that bracelet is ......"
"Shhhh β
"But ......" Zhou Mi'er pursed her lips and muttered in her mother's arms: "But Sister Lan doesn't know the intentions contained in the bracelet, it's a pity." β
Made of sacred wood, the Buddha bracelet that has been lit is certainly precious, but the deep love contained in it is the most precious thing that Zhou Mi'er feels. It's a pity that Sister Lan will never know how much effort that person has put in for this bracelet.
Zhou Mengshi pursed his lips and smiled, stroked the back of his daughter's head, and sighed: "Don't talk about this, you just need to remember and take care of your sister Lan more in the future." β
"yes, I know." Zhou Mi'er nodded seriously.
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little solemn, she deliberately laughed in a low voice: "It is said that I am old and confused, obviously my aunt is not as old as my aunt and grandmother, but she is even more confused than my aunt and grandmother, which is really strange." β
Zhou Mengshi, who was originally depressed because of Fang Cai's conversation, laughed out loud when she heard the words, she laughed at the eccentric Zhou Mi'er, and said angrily: "Elder can also be said at will?" No rules, no distance! β
knocked on the top of Zhou Mi'er's head again, and said: "Don't think that Lan'er is covering up for you, I don't know what good things you have done, I will go back and see how I clean you up later!" β
"Ahh Still punished?! Zhou Mi'er hugged her head and screamed miserably, and began to think about whether to ask her father for help or her grandmother for help.
Laughter and laughter all the way.
In the mansion of Marquis Wenxin, An Ruolan followed Meng back to the backyard.
Meng Shi was a little absent-minded along the way, her eyes glanced at the bracelet on An Ruolan's wrist from time to time, and when she arrived at the door of Yirong Garden, she seemed to have made up her mind, and smiled softly at An Ruolan: "It's still early, mother go to Lan's room and sit again." β
An Ruolan would not turn her away, and responded with her head.
The mother and daughter returned to the warm pavilion of the east courtyard of Yirong Garden, and as soon as they sat down, before the maid and the maid could bring the tea fruit, Meng Shi dismissed the others, and said eagerly: "Lan'er, in the future, you should have less contact with your second aunt and cousin." β
An Ruolan didn't hear much about this in her previous life, but in her previous life, she never asked the reason, and every time she nodded directly.
However, at this moment, she couldn't help asking, "Why?" The daughter felt that the second aunt and cousin treated her daughter very well. β
She could see it wasn't a pretense.
Meng Shi was stunned by the question, and then An Ruolan's familiar injured color appeared on his face, and his eyes were red and moist.
"They are good to you, but is your mother not good to you?" Pressing the corner of her eye, she asked miserably.
Seeing this, An Ruolan frowned slightly irrepressibly and explained, "That's not what my daughter meant. β
Because she recalled all kinds of her previous life, she already contained grief and anger in her heart, and now her mother still misunderstood her like this, no matter how broad-minded she was, she would inevitably feel unhappy.
However, Meng didn't know how much effort she had to put in to suppress the hatred surging in her heart, and when she frowned, her tears flowed even more fiercely, like pearls with broken threads.
Taking a deep breath, Meng Shi said sadly: "If your second aunt and cousin are worthy of being close, how can your mother tell you so much? Do you know what outsiders say about your second aunt in private? β
Her eyes were slightly dim, and An Ruolan pursed the corners of her mouth without squeaking.
She naturally knows what outsiders say about her second aunt, but in her eyes now, those gossips are just out of jealousy of her second aunt.
After really contacting her, she knew that her second aunt was a sincere and hearty person, not as unbearable as rumored.
Meng's eyes flashed slightly, and he continued: "Although your second aunt's heart is not bad, but she is rude and reckless, and she does not love herself, you are close to her, if you are implicated, how can it be good to have a bad reputation?" Know that fame is more important to a woman than her life! β
No self-love, this is the most unbearable evaluation of a woman, Meng Shi gritted his teeth before he spoke.
"And Sister Mi, who is so big, and dares to listen to the root of the wall, so ignorant of etiquette and boldness, how can they intersect? Mother is worried that if you play with her, you will be ruined! β
There was a lot of chatter, and at the end, Meng Shi burst into tears and said sadly: "Mother is all for your good, Lan'er!" β
An Ruolan lowered her eyelids slightly and was silent.
She was tired of it, tired of her mother saying it was good for her.
At this moment, she felt that her mother was hypocritical.
On the surface, a second sister is affectionate, but behind the scenes, she belittles her cousin so much, is this really her gentle and kind, simple and holy mother?
The beautiful image of the mother is becoming more and more broken in my heart.
To say that you are not sad is false. She knew that as long as she was the same as in her previous life, everything went well with her mother, and her mother would always be perfect and would not show such an ugly side.
It's just that she can't do it anymore.
Pursing the corners of her lips, An Ruolan raised her eyes, calmly and firmly met Meng's tear-wet eyes, and said: "Thank you mother for your care, but my daughter has grown up and knows how to distinguish between good and bad right and wrong, mother rest assured, daughter knows what to do." β
She has her own judgment and knows what she should do.
A light and indifferent sentence made Meng Shi like a thunderbolt.
