Chapter 34: Meeting
Although I don't know why Mrs. Cao San is so sincere to herself and reveals her true feelings so much, Cui Wanqing still secretly decided that it would be right to find a backer first.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Cao San felt a lot of pain in her heart, and couldn't help covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and whimpered for a while, before holding Cui Wanqing in her arms.
While rubbing with pity, he looked at the gauze curtain and muttered to himself: "Don't be afraid, with Aunt Cheng here, you must not let those people go again." ”
"Look at your eldest aunt and your sixth aunt." Before Mrs. Cao San got off the sedan chair, she hurriedly whispered in Cui Wanqing's ear.
Before Cui Wanqing could ask, she saw that the sedan curtain had been lifted, and Mrs. Cao's Qinghe Courtyard had already arrived in front of her.
The main courtyard where Mrs. Cao Laohou lives, compared to Mrs. Cui's, is a little more magnificent, the carved beams and arches are endless, the long eaves are picked out, as if to drill into the sky, and the unicorn Xiangrui town house beast on the roof, all show the identity of the master's family.
"Here, Miss Cousin is here, hurry up and go to the old lady." As soon as Cui Wanqing followed the third aunt around the white jade inlaid hundred-character longevity shadow wall, she heard the maids in the distance laughing happily.
The pattern of this Qinghe courtyard is vast, in the middle is a rockery garden that imitates the scenery of the south, and you can shuttle from the garden to the main house, and you can also walk the hand-copying verandah on the left and right.
Mrs. Cao San obviously didn't have time to go around the garden, so she led Cui Wanqing to the right hand side and went to the main house.
As soon as the two of them entered the main hall of the mahogany carved Linglu Zhizhi gate, Cui Wanqing saw a sixteen-fold fan-faced purple nan wood inlaid screen, inlaid with white jade, jade, carved is a pine crane longevity map, the end of the rich.
Skirting the screen, she didn't even have time to look around.
I heard someone cry out, "My granddaughter, my heart, my daughter, my girl." I saw an old lady wearing a golden pine and crane pattern brocade placket with slightly white sideburns, and was supported by a maid walking towards her.
With tears on her face and such a heavy sadness, Cui Wanqing also called out sadly: "Grandmother." ”
The leg had just been bent, and he was held in his arms by the old man, crying sadly, the grandparents and grandchildren were in tears, and the people around them were also red eyes and wiped tears.
"My niece is sad, your grandmother is old and can't stand such sadness, so persuade her." The person who spoke was in his forties, and his body was slightly fat, and he looked quite wealthy.
She was wearing an ochre makeup and thin satin pinching her teeth, and her face was full of concern, this was Mrs. Ming Anhou.
Cui Wanqing was busy with tears when she heard this, but she choked up for a while, and the old lady hugged her and didn't let go, so she could only pat and comfort the old man on his back comfortingly.
Who would have thought that as soon as she did this, Mrs. Cao Laohou suddenly let go of her, and looked at her with teary eyes, "My cloud sleeves, my hard-working daughter!" "It's even more sad from it.
Everyone else thought that the old lady saw that Miss Biao and Miss Third looked very similar, but she remembered her daughter who died early, which made her even more sad.
Only the old people around her know that Cui Wanqing's move just now was exactly the same as what her mother-in-law Cao Yunxiu used to do!
After nearly ten years, and feeling the familiar atmosphere of the only daughter, how can Mrs. Cao Laohou not be sad?
"Mother, today is your birthday, I can't cry, don't be sad, Qing'er isn't by your side, this is a great thing, you should be happy." This time, it was a noble lady who was less than thirty years old, with a dignified appearance and a gentle smile.
Looking at Cui Wanqing's puzzled eyes, the old lady wiped her tears with a handkerchief, pulled her, pointed at your lady and said, "Good boy, that's your sixth aunt." ”
Under the guidance of the old lady, Cui Wanqing greeted her relatives one by one, "Why are there no guests in this main hall?" Cui Wanqing wondered.
"Because of your coming, I invited all the guests to the garden in advance, and the main hall of Ziheyuan there is not small, but it is also cheap." It was about to see Cui Wanqing's doubts, and Mrs. Ming Anhou explained with a smile.
"Okay, you all go to the garden to accompany the guests, and I'll have a few words with the girl." Mrs. Cao Laohou quickly sent everyone out.
In the main hall, there were only two elderly grandmothers, three pretty maids, and three aunts and uncles.
Mrs. Cao Laohou looked at Cui Wanqing lovingly, and said after a long time: "Let's go, let's go to Xinuan Pavilion to sit, just a few people, sitting in this big hall, it's uncomfortable." ”
Entering the Xinuan Pavilion, the old lady pulled Cui Wanqing onto the kang, waved her hand and retreated from everyone, leaving only Mrs. Cao San to serve inside.
Only then did she ask with a straight face: "How can your mother-in-law let go and promise you to come and see my old woman?" ”
Cui Wanqing was originally by her side, and when she heard this, she quickly straightened up, knelt on the kang and kowtowed, and then said: "Qing'er went back to her grandmother's words, her granddaughter didn't dare to hide anything from you, it was last winter, when her granddaughter and her fifth sister fell into the lake together, when she fell into a coma with a high fever, she saw her mother, she was very distressed, sad, blamed her granddaughter for being cowardly, not only unfilial to you, but also almost gave her own life." ”
Speaking of this, Cui Wanqing couldn't cry anymore, and after a while, she continued: "My mother asked her granddaughter not to forget her identity, and taught her granddaughter to be self-reliant and self-loving. ”
"Since then, the granddaughter has reformed, done her filial piety in front of her grandmother, and befriended her sisters.
When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but cry and feel sad, her granddaughter was in such a situation, and asked herself, is she not wrong?
Cui Wanqing stepped forward, gently wiped her grandmother's tears with a handkerchief, and begged softly: "Grandmother, your granddaughter knows that she is wrong, and her granddaughter has repented, don't be angry with your granddaughter, let your granddaughter do her filial piety in front of you for her mother." ”
Mrs. Cao Laohou saw that what she said was no different from the news she got secretly, and she believed it seven or eight points in her heart, although it was inevitable that there was still a little pimple in her heart, and she blamed her granddaughter for being pinched by her mother-in-law and did not dare to get close to her own family.
If it weren't for Cui Wanqing, who didn't even dare to see her third aunt and made herself sad and angry, she might not be able to nod and agree to the advice of the eldest daughter-in-law.
However, Cui Wanqing was only more than five years old at the time, and she was scared out of her guts, what can you blame her?
"I think my wife is still being used, but the child has suffered a few years in vain, and my cloud sleeves must blame me for being a mother." Mrs. Cao Laohou sighed secretly.
"Auntie, my niece brought you a special birthday gift, can you see?" Mrs. Cao San saw the stitches and made a round.
Seeing that Mrs. Cao Laohou nodded, she lifted the curtain and asked someone to take the burden. She opened it on the kang herself, and served it on the table in the same way.
Mrs. Cao Laohou looked at the scriptures copied by Cui Wanqing herself, the snacks she made, and the embroidered shoes, wiping her forehead, and the handkerchief, all of which were according to her own preferences, she raised her hand and took a scripture book in her hand to look through.
I saw that the handwriting was beautiful and sharp, but it was twice as large as the font of the scriptures in the past, and I could see it clearly without squinting.
There are five of these scriptures, which shows the sincerity of her granddaughter.
Thinking of Cui Wanqing's hardships over the years, in her heart, after all, she still favors her deceased daughter, and there are more poor granddaughters in front of her
