Chapter Ninety-Five: The Price
The two sisters snuggled up to each other so closely, walked out of the main entrance of the study hand in hand, and as soon as they walked to the verandah, Cao Tang dragged Cui Wanqing and didn't move again.
Cui Wanqing turned around to look at her strangely, but saw Cao Tang blinking her eyes and looking at her very seriously, Cui Wanqing was a little hairy by her up and down.
Do you think it's your jade pendant that is wrong? Or is the hairpin crooked? It was also a look before and after, looking at himself that everything was fine, and with questioning eyes, he looked at the smiling Yingqiao, but when he saw Yingqiao, he also shook his head.
She asked very strangely, "Tang'er, you look at your cousin like this, but what's wrong with me?" What makes you look so fascinated? ”
When Cao Tang heard this, he pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly and pulled Cui Wanqing's hand, "Cousin, come, let's sit down and talk." ”
Cui Wanqing instinctively looked around, and saw that although there were maids in the yard, they were all doing their duties and doing their own things, but near the two of them, except for the close people they brought to serve them, there were really no outsiders.
I think the time when the third uncle from the family came was not too long, and even if he was in a hurry to return to the Ming'an Hou Mansion, the eldest uncle would definitely have to keep him for dinner before he was willing to let him go.
At this time, I was at the door of the study, and I still had the time to say a few words.
It's just that even if the weather is good today and the sun is big, it is still very cold, and I can't feel the warmth of the sun, after all, it's the weather in the lunar month.
If she and Cao Tang sat side by side in this cold wind and talked, I don't know if those subordinates would laugh at their sisters?
She didn't want to be noticed, so she squeezed Cao Tang's hand and persuaded softly, "Good sister, it's cold here, what do you have to say, let's go home and sit on the kang, taste fragrant tea, eat snacks, warm and comfortable." ”
Unexpectedly, Cao Tang was very persistent, "It's not cold, good cousin, you see that our sisters are all dressed so thickly, and they are still holding the hand stove in their arms, just sit down and say a few words, which is not in the way." ”
"I'm afraid that after this while, I won't want to talk about it for a while, and I don't know what to say."
Cui Wanqing understands this, when people's feelings reach a certain point, the words that are held in their hearts will be like a fish in their throats, and they will not vomit or be unhappy.
But if you hold it back and want to say it again, you feel that your throat and eyes are blocked, and you can't say anything.
"That's it, whoever wants to laugh can laugh, I have the right to sacrifice my life to accompany my cousin today." Cui Wanqing smiled and nodded to Cao Tang.
When I turned my head, I didn't know that Yingqiao and Jade had found a brocade cushion on the wooden chair under the porch, so that I was not afraid of the chair being cold.
The two sisters sat down side by side, and heard Cao Tang say sullenly: "Cousin, cousin, I have something I want to ask you, and please don't coax me, just tell the truth." When she saw Cui Wanqing nodding solemnly, she frowned and asked, "Cousin, cousin, am I particularly willful and ignorant?" ”
Cui Wanqing looked at her hanging her head low, listless, sighed in her heart, reached out and touched her soft black sideburns, and persuaded softly: "Tang'er, cousin knows that you are uncomfortable, let's sisters make trouble together, have fun, have fun, let these unhappiness pass." ”
"You live with your cousin this time, before and after, I'm afraid that there will be more than a month of effort, no matter how much dissatisfaction there is, it should dissipate, right?"
Cao Tang shook his head slowly, "Cousin, my sister doesn't feel dissatisfied, I just feel that I can't figure it out, why do I have to do what the elders say?" ”
"Since the death of my mother, my grandmother and father have become so authoritarian, and their fluttering words, none of the people who served my mother's side have disappeared."
"They don't worry, the people around me have all changed, except for Sister Jade and the two of them, I am almost not familiar with anything else."
"You don't know, every time I see you and Yulan, Yingqiao and them are full of tacit understanding and deep affection, and my sister I am so envious."
"And now, as soon as they say that casually, I have to pack my bags and go to a place I've never been before, not for a few days, a few months, but a few years!"
"Cousin, think about it, there is no one there, it is my sister I know, there is no grandmother, no sister, no sister, not even Le'er, sister I am"
Speaking of this, Cao Tang was already choked up and couldn't continue, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief, trying her best to control the surging emotions, and her heart was really reluctant, reluctant.
Cao Tang knew that his little arm couldn't reach his thighs, but he still let himself go and was presumptuous according to what he wanted.
Originally, I thought that as long as I worked hard, even if I didn't achieve what I wanted, at least I wouldn't have any regrets.
But why, now that I know that my wish has been disappointed, I still have to travel with my father and brother, and that heart is so lost, so sad, and so helpless?
Facing such a tangled Cao Tang, Cui Wanqing only felt that the price paid by this cute little cousin for growth was too big.
She gently put the hand stove in her arms on the wooden chair beside her, stretched out her hand to hold Cao Tang in her arms, and whispered: "Tang'er, this is life, no one is happy all his life, there will always be dissatisfaction, depression, and doubts and incomprehension." ”
"Now that you have felt these complicated feelings, it proves that you are no longer a child, Tang'er, do you know? Growing up also comes at a cost. ”
"Your tears, heartache, hesitation, and helplessness at the moment are the price, but my cousin doesn't want it at all, you look at the problem so narrowly."
"You might as well think about it, Jiangnan is the most beautiful place in our Yasukuni, there is a ten-mile lotus pond, there is a West Lake, there are long willows in the wind, and the small bridge painting boat, which is completely different from the capital, it is completely novel, don't you yearn for it? Don't want to go and have a look? ”
"Look at our capital, it's just such a boxy city, you have always lived here before, and you will live here for the rest of your life in the future."
"But right now, maybe it's the only time in your life that you can leave here and wander the vast world."
Cui Wanqing said that she was a little excited, she held Cao Tang's hand tightly, and said affectionately: "Tang'er, don't wait for you to have gray hair, and then say to your granddaughter, 'Good child, grandmother once had a chance, but unfortunately she didn't cherish it well, if you give grandmother another chance, grandmother will definitely take this step and go to the beautiful south to have a look." ”R1152
