Chapter 124: Recognition
After such a fuss, Cui Wanqing's mind was full of thoughts, how likely is the possibility that Grandma Dai is Brother Li's own sister, and where can she still have the heart to accompany Cao Tang to play?
instructed Mother Xu and Jade to serve carefully, and went up to the second floor first, and did not let anyone follow.
Ying Qiao saw that she was worried and her brows were tightly locked, how could she stay downstairs?
Afraid that Cui Wanqing would be alone, she would inevitably have to think about it more, so she simply gritted her teeth, regardless of whether her master allowed it or not, in the end, she still followed the pace of her master, and Malier went upstairs.
Sure enough, Yingqiao picked up the thin silk curtain embroidered with a hundred birds and phoenixes, and when she entered the house, Cui Wanqing was sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, her hands were on the bed frame, her head was tilted and stuck to the back of her hand, she looked lazy and lazy, and there was no dignified energy in the past.
Obviously, he heard someone enter the house, but this one still looked down at the peony carpet on the ground, and he didn't even have the interest to look up to see who it was.
Yingqiao couldn't help sighing, walked to the bookcase next to the dresser in a few steps, tidied up a little, turned around and put on a smiling face, and called softly: "Miss Nine, if you feel uneasy in your heart, why don't you copy the meditation mantra?" ”
"Dai's Mansion is not too far from us, the maid is calculated according to your usual speed of copying scriptures, probably this scripture has not been copied yet, Mother Fang and Sister Yulan will be able to come back with Mother Yun."
Cui Wanqing thought about it, instead of sitting distraught here and waiting for news, it was better to copy the scriptures carefully.
Anyway, everything in the world has a fixed number, if Dai San's grandmother is really Brother Li's own sister. That's the best result, if not, then keep looking, why bother with mediocrity?
Besides, even if you think about it, the established facts will not change at all.
But although Cui Wanqing thought so in her heart, she also told herself according to this idea.
However, the human heart has always been the most difficult to grasp, and the mantra of reciting the heart is like a stream in the past. Today's copying by Cui Wanqing is intermittent. Typographical errors.
At the end of the writing, the whole article was dotted with ink, and even the words Brother Li.
The warbler who was waiting for the pen and ink on the side was very embarrassed. The heart is sour. Secretly sighing that Brother Li's life is really worth it. It actually made the master think about this.
It's really not easy for a maid from a big family to do this, the sons of the outer courtyard. What do you advertise as 'death for a confidant'?
Brother Li died to protect his master, but doesn't he deserve this sentence?
She's kind of benevolent, right?
Seeing that the master she was serving was so nostalgic, Yingqiao's heart was slightly shabby, but she also felt very comforted, and when she served Cui Wanqing, she became more and more considerate and thoughtful.
No matter how difficult the time is, there will be a moment when it will be over, and after more than half an hour, Fang's mother's voice came faintly downstairs, "Miss Cousin, where is our ninth miss?" Why, isn't she with you? ”
Cui Wanqing was stunned by the hand, and the tip of the pen slipped off with a drop of ink, and the word 'Li' that had just been written was spent in an instant
Yingqiao heard Fang's mother's voice, took three steps and made two steps to the door, lifted the curtain, walked to the staircase, and called in a loud voice: "Mother Fang, Miss Nine is in the bedroom, come in quickly, she is waiting for you to come back and ask." ”
When Fang's mother heard this, she hurriedly bowed her knees to Cao Tang and retreated, and went up to the second floor with Yulan one after the other.
I saw Fang's mother with an excited look, but she hadn't forgotten to tell Yingqiao, "Close the door." ”
She saw Cui Wanqing standing with her back against the bookcase, supporting the bookcase with her right hand, looking at her eyes full of contradictory emotions, rarely very nervous.
Mother Fang was afraid that the little master would be in a hurry, so she hurriedly said: "My good young lady, it is really blessed by the Buddha, the old slave and Yulan have seen the third grandmother Dai." ”
"She really looks seven or eight points like Brother Li, but this one is a little older, and her eyebrows and eyes have already grown."
"And because she is a young grandmother of a wealthy businessman, she dresses very exquisitely, so she is more dignified and skillful than Brother Li, charming and gentle."
"But the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them are extremely similar, no wonder Mother Yun, who has a heart disease, was stunned when she saw her."
Cui Wanqing's hand had unconsciously touched her heart, but she still pretended to be calm and asked, "Is Mother Yun okay now?" ”
Yulan curtsied and replied: "Miss Jiu, you don't have to worry, Mother Yun has already recovered, and on the way back, on the carriage, the maid has already told her that this Dai San Grandma is most likely Brother Li's own sister." ”
Mother Yun was overjoyed, crying excitedly, saying that God has eyes, knowing that she is sincerely repentant, and this is to let her live.
Cui Wanqing's eyes rolled when she heard this, and she whispered to her, "Where did Mother Yun start with this?" It's really a big mistake, and it would be strange if people heard it. ”
"You will go and tell Mother Yun that no matter who asks in the future, she will say that Brother Li obviously died in front of her eyes, but she couldn't save her in time, so she felt guilty in her heart, and she made the whole person a little demonic."
"There are only a few of us who know this secret, and we all rot it in our stomachs, and we are not allowed to mention half a word again!"
Yulan frowned and agreed, and didn't dare to delay for a moment, so she went downstairs to find Yun's mother.
After watching Yingqiao close the door again, Mother Fang asked her softly, "Are you afraid that Grandma Dai will be detrimental to Mother Yun?" ”
Cui Wanqing gently slid down the chair, rubbed the corners of her forehead with her hands, and sighed softly helplessly: "Alas, isn't it all wrong? ”
"You know this matter best, Mother Yun would do something like that in the first place, wasn't it for me?"
"Now Brother Li's family may have really found it, but this is a good thing, and it may also be a trouble."
"The time you went up tonight is not short, I'm afraid that you have also dealt with Grandma Daisan, from your point of view, what do you think of her?"
This is a big matter related to human life, Fang's mother thought about it very cautiously. Only then did he say: "Grandma Dai San behaves dignifiedly, at first glance, she is well-educated, gentle and amiable to others, giving people a feeling of spring breeze." ”
"And it's not bad to talk and act, she is a person who doesn't leak, to be honest, the old slave feels that she may have noticed something, but she is next to Mrs. Dai's presence, so she doesn't ask anything."
"When the old slave came out to take the car to the weeping flower gate, he knocked on the side and asked the mother who sent us. learned about this third son. It is a concubine, and it was selected by the old man and his wife in order to stabilize the Dai family after the disappearance of the eldest son of Dai's mansion. ”
"And this Dai San Grandma. It is the daughter-in-law of Mrs. Dai's personal selection. The two have been married for seven or eight years. He has two sons and a daughter, and has always been very harmonious. ”
"I heard about the housework in the backyard of Dai's mansion now. This one has already taken over sixty percent, and the old slave listens to the tone of the mother's conversation, obviously respecting this Dai San grandmother very much. ”
Listen, a concubine and daughter-in-law can still be so popular in front of her mother-in-law, not only in charge of the family's housework, but even the servants below buy noodles very well.
How could such a well-rounded person be a foolish and easy to dismiss?
Cui Wanqing was very entangled at the moment, and when she didn't get the exact news, she was full of hope that this Dai San Grandma was the person she was looking for.
But this will get accurate news, and you have to worry about the consequences of this matter, after all, what she brought back was not a lively Brother Li, but a jar of ashes!
Thinking of Dai San's grandmother's family, how they cared about the lost Brother Li, Cui Wanqing felt more and more that she was at a loss in her heart.
All that was spinning in my mind was the tragic situation of Brother Li's family crying when they learned of her death.
couldn't help but redden, sighed, and said: "Look, when I can't find it, I thought about finding people all day long, but now I see that I can find it, and I start to be afraid of this and worry about that." ”
"After all, isn't it because we have a weak heart?"
"Mama, why are we embarrassed to open this mouth with others"
"I'm ashamed of Brother Li after all"
At the end, Cui Wanqing choked up sadly.
Fang's mother was distressed to death, and hurriedly took the person in her arms, patted her like when she was a child, and persuaded: "My good young lady, this person, life and death are all in peace, and that is all a matter for Lord Yama to say." ”
"How can mortals like you and me control it?"
"This is fate, even if you are entangled and sad, it will not help, if you try to make up for Brother Li's family as much as possible, I will be very happy to think that Brother Li has a spirit in the sky."
Cui Wanqing looked at Fang's mother blankly. The tears stopped, but I was afraid that I was still thinking about Brother Li, and I was so depressed.
Seeing her so lost, Mother Fang sighed and continued to comfort: "Anyway, Mama, I still say the same thing, as long as you live well, whoever dies, I can accept it, because you are the person at the top of Mama's heart." ”
"For Brother Li and Mother Yun, I am grateful to them from the bottom of my heart, and I also try my best to help Mother Yun, and do things for Brother Li in Hongruo Temple, lighting a lantern."
"Anyway, the matter has come to this, all we can do is to do our best, you are afraid that you have also thought of a lot of ways to compensate Brother Li, let's just do what you think."
"If they can understand, it will be salvation and relief for everyone, and if they have a grudge against us because of Brother Li's death, then we can only stay away from them."
"As long as Brother Li's ashes can enter their family's ancestral grave, her wish is fulfilled, you can feel more comfortable, right?"
Cui Wanqing silently shed tears in the arms of her grandmother, what Fang's mother said, every sentence is on the point, what she can do now is not to do her best?
Anyway, since she came with Brother Li's ashes, she must send Brother Li home.
No matter how this Dai San grandmother and her mother's family behind her will treat this matter, Cui Wanqing must face it bravely and bear the consequences strongly.
This night is destined to be a sleepless night, at first Cui Wanqing couldn't sleep, but then it was easy to squint, and the dream was full of Brother Li's voice and smile.
When she got up in the morning, Cui Wanqing's face was not ugly, and even under the bright apricot eyes, there were two more black shadows.
The Magnolia and the others rolled hot eggs and used a tea-soaked handkerchief, and finally dressed Cui Wanqing up with spirit.
The next thing that happened was not what anyone expected.
Just when Cui Wanqing was still thinking in her heart, how to pierce this layer of window paper with Dai San's grandmother, Dai San's grandmother came to the door in person.
She took advantage of the reason to pick up guests to go to the dock, and brought people to the other garden openly.
The moment Cui Wanqing saw her, two lines of tears fell unconsciously
The bright young woman in front of her was much taller than Brother Li, wearing a peach-colored Luo skirt embroidered with white jasmine, and her long black hair was combed into an elegant bun.
Wearing a pearl hairpin, hanging jade pendant on his waist, wearing a pair of bean green noodles on his feet, embroidered with gold silk money and embroidered with Fang Sheng pattern.
She is as glamorous as a flower, with a graceful posture, and she looks very similar to Brother Li, but her temperament is very different.
But thinking about Cui Wanqing, she was relieved, Brother Li was a poor maid who grew up with her in bullying.
Grandma Dai San is a young lady from a scholarly family, even if she was depressed as a child, but after all, she was raised by a young lady since she was a child, and she married into a rich family when she grew up.
Although the two are sisters, due to fate, they each take different life paths, have different experiences, and their temperaments are naturally very different.
Cui Wanqing thought a lot at this moment, but the only thought left in the end was: "It turns out that what I think is right, Brother Li's sister really looks very similar to Brother Li!" ”
Grandma Dai San looked at Cui Wanqing, who had a dignified appearance, but she was out of shape in public, and she couldn't stop crying, and the whole person felt bad when she landed.
She was trembling, and asked extremely nervously: "Is it my sister Sister Fang?"
After asking this incoherent word, even Fang's mother and Yingqiao couldn't help crying.
This is simply a silent affirmation that his sister is no longer alive.
Dai San's grandmother's face immediately turned from red to white, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she fainted directly!
It's good now, the whole living room is in chaos, and it just so happens that Aunt Huang brought someone into the door, and when she saw this, she shouted: "What's the panic, have you forgotten the rules of the past?" ”
"Hurry up and help the person to the couch first."
The mother next to Dai San's grandmother was shouted back to her senses by this voice, and hurriedly greeted the little maid, and the four of them worked together to carry the person to the Arhat couch in the hall, and raised their hands to pinch their master's people.
With this effort in her hand, she heard the unconscious Dai San's grandmother 'oops' and shouted, "Kill me!" ”
After this person woke up, what was indispensable was the ripple of tears, and the crying was sad, and he couldn't care about his posture and appearance.
The makeup is also crying, the throat is crying, and even the neat sideburns are messed up, which is really sad to the extreme.
Cui Wanqing thought of Yun's mother, who was sick again, and only felt cold all over her body, obviously it was a dog summer outside the house, but she was like being in the cold winter of Layue (to be continued......
