Chapter 12: Yutan's Confusion
Yutan was casual on the surface, but she was just a twelve-year-old girl, and she was still angry with Aunt Zhou, taught Brother Shen a few words, and coaxed him away with good words.
The evening sun is not so spicy, Yutan walked, saw the lotus flowers in the pond all over the pond, the lotus leaves were crowded one after another, a few swimming fish appeared and disappeared among the lotus leaves, a few dragonflies flew around, couldn't help but stop and look at the lotus flowers for a while, and listened to the cicadas on the tree non-stop, the monotonous sound croaked the eardrums, Yutan was a little irritable in his heart.
Slowly walked through most of the garden all the way, Yutan looked at the high eaves exposed in the northeast corner of the garden and did not speak, the iron lock on the door in the east corner was rusty, Cuimo hesitated for a while, now is a good opportunity, she thought about it and said, "Second Miss, the eldest lady over there sneaked out of the house a few days ago." β
Yutan couldn't help but stop, "Where did the big sister go?" What the hell is going on, don't mess with me. β
"That day, Mama Yang went out to ask about the things in the shop, just in the South Street Luoguxiang there, Mama Yang saw the eldest lady, she secretly wore men's clothes there, saw Mama Yang ignored the eldest lady, and went to the restaurant to eat and drink, but Mama Yang was in a hurry, the eldest lady is a girl's house, what can happen to be good, Mama Yang is waiting outside, it is easy for the eldest lady to come out, Mama Yang wants to accompany her back, the eldest lady saw it and warned her not to go out, and refused to let Mama Yang accompany her, He also said that something happened and had nothing to do with our family. β
Yutan said a little incredulously, "Is this true? Where is this happening to my big sister? β
Cui Mo whispered, "Really, Mama Yang has been embarrassed for several days, don't tell the master when she comes back, I'm afraid that something will really happen to the eldest lady, if she says it, the old lady will teach her a lesson, and it will not be easy to think about the eldest lady." Mama Yang came back and was anxiously sick for a few days, and there was blood blistering in her mouth, Miss you know, she is my godmother, she has always taken care of me, and when I asked her, she secretly told me, I thought to myself, I really didn't dare to let the old lady know about this, so I quietly told Miss SΓΉ. β
Yutan stood there speechless, and Cui Mo quietly lowered his head.
Yutan liked to find the eldest lady in the house over there when she was a child, when her sister Yuhua was still alive, the three sisters often played together, but since Yuhua was gone, the eldest lady in the house over there didn't know why she didn't want to take care of her anymore, and then Li Mingwei attacked the lord, Yutan went to the house over there nine times out of ten times Yuxin was missing, it was easy to see her once, she couldn't say two words, Yuxin's sister said that she had to do her homework, and she refused to play with her, Yutan also wanted to save face, so she didn't want to go over again, looking at the big lock on the door of the east corner of the garden, In the past, when the door was open, the people in the two mansions came and went, and it was so lively at that time.
"Don't say that to anyone! If you ruin my big sister's reputation, I won't spare you. β
Yutan crushed the flowers in the palm of his hand, threw them away, and walked towards his mother's yard. Cui Mo didn't dare to say any more, this was because of Miss's generosity, and she knew that Miss and Miss over there were better, so she said a few more words, and she followed the second miss and walked with her head down.
Yutan was even more bored in her heart, that sister was bold, she was surprisingly naughty since she was a child, digging insects in the yard, digging bird eggs on trees, and she had done things like that, and she was punished for being naughty on weekdays, and then she grew older, and Sister Yuxin reined in her temperament and grew into a gentle big girl.
Hearing what Cui Mo said this time, Yu Tan believed it, but he was afraid that Sister Yuxin was not simply naughty.
Yutan knows that she can't persuade Yuxin, that sister has an idea in her heart, now that the two sides of the house are separated, the old lady no longer cares about the affairs of the house over there, but if the old lady knows that Yuxin dares to go out in disguise as a man, I am afraid that she will unite the clan to lock Yuxin in the ancestral hall, and the old lady hates the things that hurt the customs the most, and she can't tolerate the shame of the young lady in the family.
Yutan couldn't figure out what Yuxin wanted to do, and she didn't know much about that sister more and more.
Unconsciously walked to her mother's place, Caiyan hurriedly picked up the bead curtain, "Why did Miss come here at this time today?" β
Mother sat there embroidering, the fifth lady Yuqin was writing on the side, saw the second sister coming, hurriedly put down the pen in her hand, greeted sweetly, Yutan took her sister's hand, sat down beside Qi's side, and carefully said the day's errand, only understated Aunt Zhou's matter.
"Caiyan came back and told me, you've done well in the past few days." I don't know if it's a good errand or a good deal to deal with Aunt Zhou, the corners of Yutan's mouth are slightly upturned, "Mother, you are praising me." β
"Mother is not praising you, mother did not do as well as you when you were so old." Then he asked, "Are you done with your homework today?" Don't miss your homework. β
Yutan hugged her mother's arm and coquettishly said, "Mother, when did I delay my homework, do you think I am Yuqin." β
Yuqin ran over to the diaphragm Yutan, "Second sister, I don't follow, that was when I was a child, and now when did I delay my homework?" β
Qi's left hand on his lower abdomen, looked at the two daughters with a smile, and after dinner, Yuqin followed the nurse back, Yutan followed his mother into the inner room, if there was anything to say, Qi's called his daughter to the inner room to discuss, Qi really asked Aunt Zhou what he said, and asked Brother Shen what he said, and then asked Yutan with a smile, "I heard Caiyan say that you taught Brother Shen to read?" What's going on in your mind? β
Yutan's face turned red, and he hesitated, "Mother, I didn't think about anything." β
I was a little uneasy in my heart, my mother has always been lukewarm to Brother Shen, and she rarely gave him a smile, but she didn't deduct anything from Brother Shen, Brother Shen should have a lot, and no one can pick out anything.
Qi smiled again and asked his daughter, "How did you think of teaching Brother Shen to read?" Sue sΓΉ mother. β
Yutan peeked at Qi's face, and saw that his mother didn't look angry at all, so he said carefully, "I thought that Brother Shen was also my younger brother, so I taught him a few words." β
Qi said, "You are friendly to Brother Shen, your mother is only happy, but people's hearts are unpredictable, so be careful to attract Aunt Zhou's tongue." β
Seeing her daughter's eyes open in surprise, Qi suddenly smiled, "Do you think my mother can't tolerate Brother Shen so much?" β
Yutan didn't know what to say, and after eating Ai Ai for a while, he said, "I know that my mother is generous." β
Qi Shi showed a mocking look, "No woman is generous, my mother is also a woman, but my mother is happy that you are good to Brother Shen, that is my daughter's good heart, my mother is telling the truth, Brother Shen is now recorded in my name, he will always be my son, I can't get over that hurdle in my heart, there is no way to be good to him, it is also good that you have this heart." β
"Mother", Yutan exclaimed emotionally, she knew that her mother was uncomfortable.
