Twenty-Six: A Dream of Huangliang (II)
Shi Qingqing picked up the copper stove on the table that was burned with a small charcoal fire and added another cup of tea to Zaifu Ao, who was still staring at the booklet, and it had been a few pillars of incense since he took the booklet, and the tea was added again and again, this Zaifu Ao had maintained this posture for a long time, but Shi Qingqing didn't dare to make a sound to disturb, so he had to put down the copper furnace and stand quietly next to him again.
The content of this booklet Shi Qingqing knows that that year is also winter, the teacher gave a banquet to the master's mansion and enjoyed the same joy, and held a banquet at the plum garden, Mr. Ledger is naturally in the column, Begonia is the maid who pours wine, the order is from top to bottom, when he pours wine on the side of Mr. Ledger, Begonia bends down and sits on his knees, but Mr. Ledger takes advantage of the wide robe and stretches his hand to Begonia thigh...
Haitang was naturally frightened and wanted to resist, but she only heard Mr. Fang's fearless voice, "Don't you want money to treat your father's illness?" I'm a distant relative of the Sixth Lady, so if you dare to move, you have to weigh it clearly! ”
Yes, Haitang's father is seriously ill and dying, and the monthly Fengyin given by the Shifu cannot support the huge medical expenses, only him, only he is willing, but this price is himself.
Haitang didn't dare to resist at all, whether it was to receive the monthly money for the sixth lady to walk with Haiyu, or to meet on a narrow road, Mr. Bookkeeper always took advantage of Haitang at every opportunity.
The huge sense of shame swelled Begonia's young body, and swallowing her anger became the only thing Begonia could do.
After a year like this, Begonia's love became more and more unstable, and she could only occasionally receive letters from home saying that her father's health was getting better and better to be comforted.
She slowly wanted to refuse, slowly avoided meeting Mr. Ledger, and closed the door all day, but Mr. Ledger was so easy to provoke, Mr. Ledger noticed that Begonia wanted to avoid herself, and directly found the sixth lady and said that she wanted to marry Begonia as a concubine.
The sixth lady Tete found a distant relative to be the bookkeeper, the reason is needless to say, and it is just a maid, how can the sixth lady disagree, and immediately agreed, to choose a good day and an auspicious day.
That day was supposed to be Haitang resting, or Haiyu took advantage of the sixth lady's nap to come over and report a letter, the two of them have always been good friends, Haiyu knew that Haitang had a sweetheart cousin in her hometown, if she really made a concubine for the bookkeeper, maybe something happened, I was going to inform in advance, so that Haitang had a quasi-child in her heart, because Haiyu knew in her heart that the sixth lady's mind had decided that there was no place to turn around, but who knew that Haitang, who had always been cowardly and timid, heard it, and rushed directly into the room of the sixth lady regardless of it, arguing that she was unwilling.
Where is the sixth lady a kind-hearted, only said that she has allowed others, if she retorts about the damage to her reputation and interests, where is she willing to follow, I wanted to persuade me with good words, but I had no choice but to eat the begonia oil and salt that was said to be iron-hearted, and saw that the sixth lady was unmoved, and actually hit her head on the pillar and blood burst in, but fortunately, Haiyu reacted quickly and pulled a handful, otherwise it would be a human life.
This incident alarmed the eldest lady.
The eldest lady, who has always been at odds with the sixth lady, wanted to make a big fuss about this matter, but the sixth lady was witty, and even if she insisted that she had planned to respect Haitang's own wishes, who knew that Haitang was too impulsive and didn't listen to all the words and hit the wall.
The eldest lady was speechless, and the matter had to be stopped!
It stands to reason that at this moment, it is very unfavorable for the sixth lady to be exposed to the begonia incident again, Shi Qingqing really can't understand the reason, why let the sixth lady get on fire.
Also, 'that' Shi Qingqing's mother-in-law was obviously wronged, but the teacher didn't care about the secret funeral, and secretly repatriated Mr. Ledger, if he was ruthless, the teacher did not explain the reason when he was impeached by Scholar Yao, and if he was affectionate, it would be too bland.
Shi Qingqing suddenly felt as if he was in a strange circle cast by an impermeable diamond wire, getting tighter and tighter, as if he could tighten his throat at any time, making people breathless.
The toes began to feel cold, slowly moved to the legs, and then slowly went up, Shi Qingqing wanted to speak, but there was a blur in front of him, and then the sky and the earth began to rotate upside down, and finally returned to chaos.
It seems that I can hear the panicked shouts of Zai Father Ao, and I can also hear the crowd rushing up mixed with the cries of Xi'er, there are many footsteps, some running out and some running in, some heavy and some brisk, so noisy.
Then the body seemed to be in the air, and then all the noise suddenly disappeared, leaving only darkness, endless darkness.
Shi Qingqing walked alone in the dark, sometimes encountering a snow-capped mountain, sometimes being in a flaming mountain, and could no longer move forward uncomfortably.
It's about a dream!
Shi Qingqing thought so, it should be sick.
But no matter how hard Shi Qingqing tried, he still couldn't open his eyes, his throat was very dry and astringent, but there was always more bitter soup poured in, so he couldn't swallow it, so he had to vomit it all.
It seemed that he could hear the voice of the master who was angry, as if he was arguing with the father again, many people were fighting, it seemed to be very chaotic, Shi Qingqing wanted to shout and tell them all to go out, but he was poured a mouthful of soup into his mouth, and he choked and couldn't breathe, but in the end, he swallowed it, as if he could hear the sound of everyone breathing a sigh of relief.
Finally, no one quarreled anymore and the whole world was quiet.
It was as if the body had finally given up struggling, and his breathing began to slowly steady, and his clenched fists gradually relaxed.
Shi Qingqing came to a small stream, the river and the sky were all gray, colorless, Shi Qingqing wanted to wash his face, but no matter what, his hand couldn't reach the water, Shi Qingqing desperately wanted to move forward, desperately stretched forward, but in the end it was only in vain.
"Qing'er, come to my mother's place!" An anxious voice came from behind him.
Shi Qingqing turned around in surprise, was he calling himself?
But Shi Qingqing was so frightened that she almost fell into the water as soon as she turned her head, it turned out to be her?
Shi Qingqing wanted to go over and ask her what was going on, but suddenly a voice appeared, she was already dead!
Shi Qingqing was taken aback, but then realized that this was her own voice, but the strange thing was that she was not afraid at all, she was not afraid of this person who had passed away, Shi Qingqing didn't think it was because of the so-called family affection, maybe it was just because she knew it was a dream!
That woman's face was so beautiful, there were no traces of the big hole on her face that day, which made people's hearts warm, and she was waving to herself with a gentle face, and her eyes were well concealed worry!
Seeing that Shi Qingqing did not react, he called softly: "Qing'er, don't go to the water's edge, it's dangerous, come quickly, come to your mother's place, be obedient!" ”
Shi Qingqing just looked at it coldly, unmoved, but after a while, he suddenly found that his body was moving, and his feet were completely out of his control, and he was slowly walking towards the woman step by step.
Shi Qingqing began to panic, where was she going to take herself?
"Mother-" A young female voice came, Shi Qingqing heard the voice, only to see a tiger-headed and extremely cute little girl flying over to the woman's arms.
It turned out that she didn't call herself, so Shi Qingqing had to stop and watch.
The little girl rubbed in the woman's arms for a while, and then asked coquettishly, "Mother, why didn't Uncle Long come today?" ”
When the woman heard this, her face suddenly froze, and after a while, she said softly to the little girl in her arms, "Don't mention Uncle Long again in the future, he will never come again!" ”
"Why?" The little girl leaned her neck very puzzled, and some of her tears were a little daunted.
The woman was full of love again, gently patted the little girl's back, and said, "Because Uncle Long is very busy!" Let's not bother Uncle Long, okay? Otherwise, Uncle Long will not like Qing'er. ”
"Okay, Qing'er is good, Qing'er won't bother Uncle Long, so will Uncle Long still like Qing'er?"
"Of course, Uncle Long likes Qing'er the most."
Shi Qingqing looked at the mother and daughter who hugged and laughed with emotion, it turned out that this was himself when he was a child, Shi Qingqing smiled slightly, and was about to step forward to say hello.
The woman suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Shi Qingqing directly, her eyes suddenly began to bleed, and her face was full of water, but she just looked at it like this, without saying a word, and there seemed to be hatred in her eyes, as if there was resentment, as if she was unwilling, and she was as secretive as she was.
"Ah――――――h
"Miss, you finally woke up, but you had a nightmare? Miss, don't be afraid, it's just a dream! ”
Xi'er's voice seemed to have magic in her eyes, which strangely quieted Shi Qingqing, who was struggling.
Shi Qingqing's eyes were full of blood, and the bloody mother's parents gradually disappeared, and the top of the bed carved with plum blossoms came into view, and with a slight tilt of his head, he could see Xi'er's familiar appearance with a worried and concerned face, Shi Qingqing wanted to say something, opened his mouth but only made some whimpering sounds, and couldn't open his mouth, Xu is body was still too weak, and he was already panting for breath after a short while.
couldn't help but ask Xi'er on the side with his eyes.
"Miss, don't worry, the doctor said that you need to recuperate, and your throat is so swollen from high fever that you may not be able to speak for the time being...... But don't worry, the doctor said that it will be fine when the illness is cured, so don't worry. Xi'er comforted softly.
When Shi Qingqing heard this, he knew that it was indeed a dream just now, and he couldn't help but think of what happened before he fainted, so he hurriedly took Xi'er's hand and wrote a few words in her palm.
"Miss, do you mean Lord Zaifu?" Shi Qingqing nodded hurriedly.
"Miss, you have slept for a day and a night, Lord Zai's father will enter the palace to see the emperor, and before leaving, he will tell you that you can rest assured."
Shi Qingqing finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and smiled at Xi'er with relief, after all, there was no vain illness.
"Miss, the doctor said that you are depressed, the internal fire is too strong, it is not appropriate to work too hard, it is still early at this time, Miss should sleep for a while!"
With the help of Zai's father Aohui, Shi Qingqing's body weakened suddenly, and after listening to what Xi'er said, he slowly closed his eyes and rested, but he fell asleep quickly, and he didn't dream all night.
