Chapter 367: The Old Capital (3)
Mother Wei persuaded her a few times, but Sister Lan didn't hear it, and she was distracted.
Mother Wei couldn't twist her, and saw that Sister Lan was just in a daze and didn't cry, so she had to give up, moved the pestle and sat down outside the blue yarn cupboard, listening to the movement inside, while thinking about this matter.
As a nurse, Wei's mother is always partial to Sister Lan, especially in the past few years, seeing that the relationship between the Lu family and Chang Yuye has become more and more estranged, Wei's mother is not good at finding fault with the Lu family, but seeing that Sister Lan is getting lower and lower day by day, she has some complaints in her heart.
Lu's remaining henchman, Cui Brown, tiptoed in, and when she saw Wei's mother looking up at her, she made a gesture of silence.
When she got closer, Cui Brown quietly glanced at the blue yarn cupboard, and the scene inside made her eyes darken, pursed her lips, squatted down, and whispered to Wei's mother: "Sister has always been like this?" ”
Mother Wei nodded slowly: "It's really distressing to watch!" ”
"Who's to say it's not." Brown sighed.
Mother Wei's eyes turned red: "These two girls don't listen to people's persuasion." The eldest grandmother can't listen to it, she wants to become a monk wholeheartedly, and so does her sister, the matter has come to this, what else can I do? But she just sat here, looking at these cages, can she still see that the flowers are not coming? ”
Cui Brown is the maid of the Lu family, and said: "The eldest grandmother is also bitter in her heart, how many times, the slaves and maids have seen her cry and wake up in the middle of the night." ”
"No matter how hard it is, it's not like I can't live this life anymore!" Wei's mother said angrily, "Even if you are dead to your uncle, you should also think about your sister?" The meat that fell from the pregnancy in October, how could the grandmother be willing to let her sister grow up alone? My sister is not up to age. After a few years, I said that I was pro, and I didn't have my mother in front of me, how could I say this pro? Everyone says that they don't marry the eldest daughter of a widow, but what is the difference between my sister and my eldest daughter now? ”
Cui Brown waved his hand again and again, and said hurriedly: "Mom, don't say that, in our house, the third grandmother and the fifth grandmother are not all young and have no mothers, so they will listen to this." Maybe it's a misunderstanding. My sister will have to rely on them in the future, but I can't be suspicious. ”
Mother Wei was sad, her mouth was grasped, and she rushed out. At this moment, I know that this is not a good thing. Covered his mouth. Nodding again and again: "Yes, yes, I can't say that." Our sister will live according to her aunt in the future, and she can't talk nonsense. But. Brown Brown, I really can't figure it out! The eldest grandmother doesn't like the uncle, and the uncle knows in his heart that he hasn't come to the grandmother's house for the night all these years, since this is the well water does not violate the river water, except for a meeting at the reunion dinner during the New Year's holidays, I can't see it at all on weekdays, why can't the grandmother endure it, so I can wait for my sister to grow up and leave the cabinet before making plans, in this way, our sister can ......"
Cui Brown made a bitter face, quietly looked at the blue yarn cupboard, and said: "Mom, no one can think through Grandma's thoughts, but the slave knows that she is too bitter, she can't sleep well and eat well every day, she has a problem in her heart, and she can't get through." If you go to Yusu'an, you can let your grandmother let go of the past and become more down-to-earth day by day, and the slave maid is also happy. As for ignoring my sister, my mother ...... this."
Wei's mother sighed, patted Cui Brown's hand, and said, "I know, I shouldn't say these words in front of my sister, grandma is acting yes or no, she is my sister's mother, we are subordinates, we shouldn't say disrespectful things, my sister will be sad when she hears it." But these thoughts are held in my heart, and it is really uncomfortable. ”
"Which one isn't uncomfortable?" Cui Brown raised the back of his hand and wiped his eyes, "Everyone left in this yard is uncomfortable, especially Mother Li, she watched her grandmother marry in, watched her and her uncle get along with Meimei in the past, and watched Sister Lan be born, ten years later, she is crying into tears now." ”
Wei's mother shed two tears, and involuntarily looked inside, but saw that Sister Lan'er's eyes did not fall on the cage, but still looked straight at her, she hurriedly shrank back, hurriedly wiped her face, got up and walked inside: "Is Sister hungry?" It's past noon, and I heard that the third grandmother made a lot of new snacks there today, do you want to try it? ”
Sister Lan looked at Mother Wei and still didn't speak.
Cui Brown also followed, talking softly to Sister Lan, but she didn't get the slightest reaction, and looked at Mother Wei in embarrassment.
Wei's mother was completely out of line, and she was afraid that her sister would sit from morning to afternoon, and then until evening, so she pulled Cui Brown out and commanded in a low voice: "Go to the third grandmother and say hello, it's not a way to go on like this." ”
Brown gritted his teeth and nodded.
The Xu family and Chu Weilin, who sent the Lu family out, sat and talked together, listened to Cui Brown's words, sighed long, and ordered: "Fill some snacks with me, and I'll go see Sister Lan." ”
Chu Weilin went with the Xu family.
The noon sun was warm on my body, and after walking a few steps, I sweated lightly.
The light in the blue gauze cupboard was not bad, but when Chu Weilin picked up Sister Lan, she noticed that her hands were cold and cold.
Chu Weilin hurriedly wrapped her palm in her hand and warmed Sister Lan'er's hands: "Why is it so cold?" But you don't have enough clothes? ”
Mother Wei was shocked, and came up and touched Sister Lan'er's forehead: "It's okay, it's okay, it's normal that the head is lukewarm." Fifth grandmother, my sister is not wearing much today, covering the spring and autumn freezing, although the weather in May is warm, the slave and maid did not dare to reduce the clothes for the sister. ”
Chu Weilin glanced at Sister Lan's dress, it was indeed not good, probably because of the fear in this child's heart, it would be like this.
Xu Shi took out the snacks and said, "It's all new today, sister, try it." ”
Sister Lan didn't open her lips.
Xu Shi was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Didn't my sister say that she wanted to be a girl for her aunt?" Does my sister really like my aunt? ”
Sister Lan was stunned, and seemed to be a little afraid that Xu would ignore her, so she hurriedly opened her mouth and leaned forward to pick up the snack.
Such an anxious and frightened appearance made Wei's mother more and more uncomfortable, and she turned her back to wipe her tears.
Chu Weilin saw it in her eyes, and she also felt sorry for her, and when she coaxed Sister Lan to rest with a meal with the Xu family, she whispered: "It can't go on like this, since the sister-in-law is gone, someone should take care of Sister Lan." ”
Mother Wei happened to hear it, her face was pale, and she didn't care about the rules, and said, "Fifth grandma is talking about adding a stepmother to my sister?" But you can't do it! ”
"Mom misunderstood," Chu Weilin shook her head, "The filial piety period of the ancestor has not passed, even if you want to add a stepmother, it will not work." Besides, with the addition of a stepmother, maybe Sister Lan will suffer a loss, how can we be willing to give it up? I mean, since the sister-in-law can't take care of it, you should let the uncle take care of it more. ”
Mother Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good to let the uncle come, but it's ......"
Chu Weilin knew what Mother Wei was going to say, Mother Wei felt that it was okay for men to educate their sons, take care of girls, God knows what it would become, besides, there are so many things in the back house, and it is not easy for a man in Chang Yuye to deal with them.
"I remember when my mother passed away, it was my father who cheered me and my brother together, and over the years, my father cared for and doted on us. Speaking of the past, Chu Weilin's expression still had sadness.
Seeing this, Mother Wei stammered: "Fifth grandmother, don't be uncomfortable, it's a slave who can't speak." ”
Chu Weilin hooked the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "It's me who said by example, instead of being sad about my sister-in-law's departure, it's better to let my eldest uncle come to accompany Sister Lan." ”
Wei's mother nodded and wrote it down.
Before dinner, Chu Weilin returned to the house where the second room was purchased.
Chang Yuyun was reading in the study, and knew that she had just come from the long room, so he asked a few words in passing.
Chu Weilin said carefully: "You also persuade the uncle." ”
Chang Yuyun put down the scroll in his hand, got up and walked to Chu Weilin's side: "It's not that he doesn't persuade him, but the eldest brother is also twisted like a sister-in-law, and at this moment, his heart is thinking of guarding the soul of the ancestors." ”
Chang Yuye seems to have had this idea a long time ago, and after mentioning it a few times, everyone didn't follow his words, trying to dispel his thoughts, but he didn't want to, although Chang Yuye responded a few words on his mouth, his heart was full of spiritual things, and as soon as Lu left, his determination became more and more firm.
Chu Weilin took two deep breaths and said, "This is good, both husbands and wives have become shopkeepers, one is a monk and one is a guardian, this is completely avoided from the red dust, what should Sister Lan do?" For the sake of that little peace in my heart, I don't even care about Sister Lan, I really don't understand, how can this be peaceful? ”
"Don't be in a hurry, Linlin, you also know that in this world, escaping is easier than anything else." Chang Yuyun said soothingly.
Chu Weilin lowered her head, yes, escape is the easiest, put your soul on the Bodhisattva, and also on the ancestors, and you will not take care of your young daughter.
"Such parents, Sister Lan is really too wronged." Chu Weilin muttered.
No matter how much it was wronged, Sister Lan slowly accepted it.
There is no mother, there is no need to stay in the morning and dusk every day, and she will not run to her mother to beg for snacks when she is hungry, and she will not have a mother to accompany her to take a nap and read a book to be a female celebrity, Sister Lan has become more and more silent, and she spends a lot of time in the blue yarn cupboard every day, Wei's mother is distressed, but she is helpless.
Outside, among those families in the old capital, there were many people who observed the Chang family who came back from the capital, and they finally figured out that the Lu family's visit to Yusu'an was by no means a simple fasting and prayer, but a monk.
The eldest daughter-in-law of the long house is a monk, and the Changfu has not stopped it, this matter is not ordinary, and for a while, there is no need to talk about a few words.
In the ancestral house, there are many people who come and go, so they have some rumors.
The Chang family has been in the old capital for many years, and they pay attention to a face, so they talk about it, and they naturally feel that they have lost face, but the two families have very little contact, and they are not good at asking directly, and after thinking about it, they still let the Yun family come over the house and sigh.
This kind of drudgery, the Yun family is not happy, but it is not good to go against the will of the elders, in the end, it should be done. (To be continued.) )
