Chapter Ninety-Nine: Merlin
Jinyi has never been to this area, and the visual location seems to be behind Qinfangyuan, but he has never set foot in it, so it feels very strange. She looked at Du Yunke beside her, and saw that his face was as calm as water, but there seemed to be some kind of emotion surging in his eyes.
Jinyi was speculating about what this garden was for, and as soon as her hand tightened, Du Yunke had already taken her hand in. The gate of the garden was not closed, and the two stepped into the snow. There was no one inside, not even a mother-in-law who was guarding the door.
Following the corridor to a room in the middle, Du Yunke opened the door, then turned on the lamp, and instantly saw all the furnishings in the house. In fact, there are not many furnishings in the house, and it looks simple and simple. In the middle is an embroidered bed, a dressing table and other women's special items, and the rest are some cages for storing clothes. Du Yunke came to one of the cages and opened it with his hand, only to see that the boxes were also full of women's clothes. He looked at it stupidly, then closed it again and looked at Jinyi and said, "You must wonder why I brought you here, right?" ”
Jin Yi just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.
Du Yunke walked out of the bedroom, and while walking around, he helped the surrounding furnishings and utensils and said: "This is my biological mother's residence, and this room is where my mother lived before her death." ”
Only then did Jin Yi understand why he was looking at those clothes just now: "It turned out to be my aunt's residence." She saw that Du Yunke looked a little lonely, and she couldn't help but empathize, after all, she and he both lost their mothers early, and this kind of nostalgia for relatives will only be unforgettable if you have experienced it.
As Du Yunke came out, he entered a wing room on the east side. In addition to bed tents, cages, tables and chairs, etc., there are more children's playthings. Jin Yi didn't have to think about it to know that this should be Du Yunke's bedroom when he was a child.
"This is the place where my mother lived with me when she was alive, but now things have long since died, and there is nothing to be left with." Du Yunke said with emotion.
Jin Yi didn't know how to say some comforting words, so she had to say: "Auntie sees that the young master is doing well now, and she has no regrets." ”
"You're right." Du Yunke looked up at Fang Liang and said, "If you want to repay your deceased relatives, you can live well." ”
When Jin Yi was in her aunt's room just now, she casually touched the table and chair, only to realize that her fingers were actually clean. Then he habitually touched the utensils here, and sure enough, it was the same, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Why is it so clean." ”
Du Yunke turned to her and said, "After I was fourteen years old, I asked the girl to come here every few days to clean, and every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, I would also come over without moving." Seeing Jinyi nodded in understanding, he came over and took her hand and went out. Walking along the corridor at the other end to the end, a dark fragrance hit, but it was a plum forest, lined with the snow white pressed on the branches, more delicate as the sun, in the early morning cold alone to admire.
The two walked under the plum tree, and Du Yunke said, "Although these plum trees were planted by my father back then, my mother is the one who loves them the most." 'In the ice and snow forest, different peaches and plums are mixed with fragrant dust'. I originally read this sentence when I was a child, but my mother listened to it. I remember when I was a child, every winter, I could see my mother always nostalgic for this place, and she often chanted this sentence to the plum tree. Although she had not read any books, she could not read. But I can imagine that she compares herself to plum blossoms, and she thinks that plum blossoms are the purest and most indisputable in the world. ”
Jinyi had also heard Jinyu briefly talk about this aunt, so she had long admired her, but unfortunately this light-hearted aunt had already gone first and was not allowed to get close. Now listening to Du Yunke's narration, it is like seeing her demeanor back then, her noble and indisputable demeanor.
Du Yunke saw her quietly looking at the plum blossoms, gently pulled her shoulders with both hands, looked at her quiet cheeks and said, "Do you know? You are really similar to my mother, the same noble, the same kind. ”
After Jinyi smiled sweetly, she lowered her head and said, "How can the slave be compared with the aunt." ”
"In my heart you can." Du Yunke put down his hand, looked at the plum tree, and sighed, "It's a pity that my father doesn't know how to pity my mother." Except when my mother was seriously ill, he came once and never came back. Until my mother passed away, I didn't see my father. I was only 10 years old at the time, but I knew how sad my mother was. He turned around and gently hugged Jinyi into his arms and said, "So, I just want to take good care of my loved one, and I don't want her to be hurt in any way." ”
"Young Master......" Hearing Du Yunke's heart-warming words, at this moment, no, forever, Jinyi thought in her heart, as a woman, there is nothing happier than anything.
The two warmed up, Du Yunke let go of the brocade clothes, took the brocade clothes by the hand and walked to every corner of the garden. Held by his warm hand and walking side by side with him, at this moment, Jinyi only felt as if there were only two people left in heaven and earth. If you can go on like this, don't be disturbed by anything, just keep going, just hope that there will never end, and you can't reach the edge of the world, and keep going......
The footsteps can not stop, and the time naturally does not stop, although it is still in the cold winter wax moon, but it seems that it has already added the breath of spring to the entire Du Mansion. Although the girls and servants were busy, they smiled one by one and congratulated each other on the New Year.
"Young Master, I want to ...... Say goodbye to you. When Jinyi was serving a cup of tea, he said to Du Yunke.
"What's the matter?" Du Yunke looked at her and said with some worry, "Could it be...... Is it the body that is not refreshing? ”
"No, young master." Jin Yi hesitated and said, "I just want to go see Yinglan." ”
Du Yunke was stunned, and he said apologetically: "I ignored it." Since you came to me, you haven't been given leave. You wait, I'll go and tell Fuwei to send you there. ”
As he spoke, he stood up.
"Young master, in fact, I can go over by myself, Yinglana is not far away." As a subordinate, Jin Yi will feel uneasy after all if he takes too much care of the young master.
"You stay first." Du Yunke ignored Jinyi's refusal, and still explained to Fuwei in person.
Out of the gate of Du Mansion and came to the carriage that was already waiting, Jinyi looked at the man next to the coachman and said, "This must be Brother Fuwei?" ”
"It's the girl in brocade, right?" Fu Wei smiled politely and said, "I have often seen you go out with the young master, but I haven't had the opportunity to talk to the girl yet." ”
"Brother Fuwei," Jinyi said gently, "I'll have to prepare some gifts later, and I'll go into the downtown and stop for a while, so I can buy them." ”
Fu Wei smiled and said, "The girl doesn't have to bother, the gift is already in the car, and the young master has prepared it for the girl." ”
"Huh?" After a moment of surprise in Jinyi, a burst of sweetness poured into her heart. Sitting in the car, Jinyi saw that there was a four-color brocade box in the carriage, thinking that the eldest young master was really careful, and he was even more kind to himself.
