Chapter 242: Confession
Late at night, after a day of exams, Yu Shu did not stay in her room to rest, but sat in the west wing of the small courtyard.
The candle on the table was new, just lit, the light of butter and oil shone on the person sitting at the table, Yu Shu was holding a volume of "The Biography of Liu Yi" in her hand, and after a while, it was still the page she had just opened.
Jingchen is gone, seven days have passed in a blink of an eye, Yu Shu wakes up before going to bed every day, and when he has a little free time, he can't help but think about where he will go.
After the Dayan exam, Yu Shu was able to calm down and think about this problem.
Anling City, he hadn't been here before, all he knew was those places, Huixing Street, Qiu Guifang, Peiren Pavilion, and Zhao Hui's house She had looked for it, and no one had seen him.
Since people don't disappear out of thin air, he deliberately hid to prevent her from finding them.
Thinking of this, Yu Shu hated it so much, this nerd, no matter what kind of hardship he didn't say goodbye, don't think that she would spare him, wait to find someone and see how she cleans him up, he used to treat him too well, so he ran so boldly.
Closing the book and smoothing out the wrinkles, Yu Shu thought that he would go back to Huixing Street tomorrow, and slowly walked back to the room with the candlestick.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Yu Shu didn't snooze because he wanted to go out, and got up early in the morning as usual, and as soon as he came out of the house, he was stopped by the little maid Kidney Bean:
"Girl, Madame called you to come to the house."
Perennial stall to make a living, Zhao Hui has already developed the habit of getting up early and being greedy for darkness, this greed for darkness has changed, but getting up early has not changed anything, waking up at dawn, not sleeping much for a moment.
Yu Shu had no choice but to turn around, go to Zhao Hui's room, and meet He Langzhong, who was dressed neatly and was about to go out.
"Uncle He, where are you going, aren't you going to have breakfast?"
He Fangzhi said: "Your Aunt Hui has a bitter mouth, I will go out to buy some persimmons for her to eat, and then grab a few catties of halva sweets for you and Xiao Xiu, I forgot to buy it before, do you have anything else to want, I will bring it back."
After Yu Shu's sister and brother moved in together, one night Yu Shu came out to go to the toilet and saw the kitchen light in the corner of the courtyard, and thought it was a thief, and walked over to see that it was He Fangzhi boiling eggs in sugar water, saying that Zhao Hui wanted to eat, Yu Shu asked him why he didn't wake up the cook, He Fangzhi was embarrassed to tell him that Zhao Hui didn't like to eat, it turned out that such a water spot was learned when he and Zhao Hui were taking care of her illness before they became friends.
"Nothing to ask for, you can go quickly."
Seeing He Fangzhi leaving, Yu Shu followed Kidney Bean into the house, Zhao Hui sat on the small couch in the living room, was stroking the new clothes on his lap, raised his head and beckoned to Yu Shu, and said:
"Come and see if this dress fits."
Yu Shu looked at the clothes and skirts in her hand, obviously women's clothes, and smiled: "When did you make clothes for me, why didn't you hear you?"
Zhao Hui gestured the clothes to her, and explained: "I invited the tailor outside, my hands and feet are nimble, and I sent it the day before yesterday, I saw that you were busy reading, so I put it away first, oh, put it on and take a look - kidney beans, add a few more pieces of charcoal."
Although Yu Shu disliked the trouble of wearing a skirt and was awkward to wear, the girls were always very happy to get new clothes, and there were three women in the house, so she untied the old cotton jacket and robe outside in the small hall, and put on the new clothes one by one.
This is the second time Zhao Hui has made clothes for her, I have to say that Zhao Hui has a good eye, this set of winter clothes is divided into three pieces to wear, the jujube red skirt is thick pleats, Mei Hong's little jacket pinched the waist, plus a moon-white shoulder, the person who wears it is delicate and obedient, and shows spirit.
Yu Shu fastened the buckle on the collar, turned around in front of Zhao Hui, and asked Meizizi, "How is it, is it good-looking?"
Seeing that she was wearing a scholar's soapy head, wearing a skirt, nondescript, Zhao Hui's face was strange, and Kidney Bean covered her mouth and snickered, Yu Shu asked her: "What are you happy about?"
Kidney Dou was young, eleven or twelve years old and didn't have any heart, so he said honestly: "The girl looks at it like this, it's like a man's family wears women's clothes."
Yu Shu said strangely: "Yes, I'll take a look." I went into the house to look for a mirror, and when I saw it, it was really awkward, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly, this is good, a man has been pretending to be a woman for a long time, and he doesn't look like a woman when he wears a skirt.
God knows, she just thinks it's more convenient to pretend to be a teenager, but she has no plans to be a transgender man.
Zhao Hui was helped by Kidney Bean to follow up in the room, and said to Yu Shu, who was staring dryly in front of the mirror: "Don't worry, sit down and comb your hair, and change your hairstyle to be beautiful."
Yu Shu obediently sat on the dressing table, let the kidney bean relieve the soap towel, comb her hair, Zhao Hui pointed on the side, after a cup of tea, combed her hair, Zhao Hui opened a brand new jewelry box on the dressing table, took out a pair of citrine pearl flowers for her hairpin on the bun, and dipped her little finger in a little rouge on Yu Shu's lips, the person in the mirror immediately changed her appearance, and then looked at it, no matter how you look at it, she is a delicate girl, far from being as beautiful as a flower, but her eyebrows are crooked, her eyes are bright, and she is still good-looking.
Zhao Hui pressed Yu Shu's shoulder with satisfaction, and said: "It's okay now, just dress up like this in the future, don't run around in robes and shirts all day long, girls have to look like girls, in the coming year, Aunt Hui will ask someone to make you a few clothes to replace, and then a few sets of good jewelry to wear, can't you?"
Yu Shu looked at the somewhat strange young girl in the mirror, and recalled what the face she looked like for more than 20 years before she wore it to this Da'an Dynasty, slowly, there were some places that were similar, the same apricot eyes, but not very beautiful, the same high and low nose, but not ostentatious, the same thin chin, but not exquisite.
Yu Shu raised her hand and touched her face, always feeling that after more than half a year, she seemed to be more and more like her "self" as she grew.
Well, that's a good sign.
Yu Shu raised his neck and smiled at Zhao Hui: "Aunt Hui, are you raising me as a daughter?"
Zhao Hui's face was as gentle as water: "How is it not."
Yu Shu was silent for a moment, and suddenly spoke: "Aunt Hui, if you are willing, will I be a goddaughter with you?"
There will be this, Yu Shu is not temporary, she had this idea as early as in Yiyang City, she helped Zhao Hui to fight a lawsuit, and borrowed the name of her relatives, but she offended the Ji family and had to go away, for fear that Zhao Hui would be affected, so she never mentioned the matter of recognizing her relatives.
Now they are different, they are in one place, Zhao Hui went to a foreign land for her, settled in Anling, took care of her food, clothing, housing and transportation, a lot of love from the elders, she understood her heart, but she had no name to respect her, at this time, it was better.
Zhao Hui's face was stunned, and after a while, she squeezed Yu Shu's shoulder suddenly, and her voice trembled: "What did you just say, do you want to recognize me as a godmother?"
Yu Shu nodded, not hiding the admiration on his face, "Aunt Hui, would you like to recognize me as a daughter?"
Zhao Hui took a half breath, tears in her eyes, held Yu Shu's hand and nodded, "Willing"
Saying that, he cried with joy, bent down to hug Yu Shu, and cried: "There is only this day in my dream, Aunt Hui has already regarded you as her own daughter, but I know that when you went to court to sue me on my behalf, I waited, who knew that you didn't mention it since then, and said that you wanted to go to the capital, and said that you would leave, Aunt Hui was reluctant to stop you in every way, Xiaoyu, I am not afraid of your jokes, Aunt Hui thinks that in the last life, we were the two mothers and sisters, and if we meet again in this life, how can we not kiss it"
Yu Shu listened to her words sincerely, felt sorry for herself to the bone, and there were some tears in her eyes, but she couldn't help it, patted the emotional Zhao Hui on the back and smiled:
"Coincidentally, I think so too, don't you think we won't lose money if we don't be mothers?"
Hearing her joke, Zhao Hui burst into tears and laughed, pushed her away, and held her face lovingly: "Yes, this happy event will be done as soon as possible, and I will send someone to inform you Uncle Pei later, and tomorrow I will set up a banquet, sacrifice incense and candles, and officially recognize a relative."
"This, do you have to ask Uncle He first, and he has to agree." This recognition has always been to buy one get one free, Zhao Hui and He Langzhong are husband and wife, Yu Shu wants to recognize Zhao Hui as a godmother, so he gave He Langzhong this godfather.
Zhao Hui said: "No need to ask, he promised a hundred."
It happened that He Fangzhi came back from outside, and when she heard Zhao Hui's last words, she entered the house and asked, "What did you promise?"
Seeing Zhao Hui's tears in his eyes again, he hurriedly stepped forward and took out his handkerchief, "What are you crying again, I just said last night that my tears hurt my body, did you forget?"
With Yu Shu and the maid present, seeing Yu Shu's playful gaze, Zhao Hui was embarrassed by He Fangzhi's thoughtfulness, but she was embarrassed to show her affection, pulled his handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said:
"I want to recognize Xiaoyu as my daughter, she asks you if you agree."
He Langzhong looked back and forth at the two of them in surprise, followed by a smile on his palm: "This is a good thing, isn't it as you want, and let me go and inform my brother-in-law, choose a good day to do it, this time, Mrs. The one in your belly has not yet been born, and we have a pair of children, excellent, excellent"
Hearing this, Yu Shu coughed and interrupted: "Uncle He, don't hear me wrong, I mean I recognize my godmother, without minor repair, he is the only seedling of our old Yu family, my mother is still alive, if you really want to recognize it, you have to get her consent first."
Yu Shu is not so self-assertive, because she has nothing to do with Aunt Cui, it is okay to recognize Zhao Hui and his wife, but Yu Xiaoxiu is different from her, no matter how unreliable Aunt Cui is, she is also the mother who gave birth to him, how can she be a son to others so casually, isn't this unfilial, Xiaoxiu is not very old, but he attaches great importance to morality.
He Langzhong was disappointed for a while, Zhao Hui hurriedly patted him, pulled Yu Shu and said: "You're right, you can't be so hasty, you have to listen to Xiao Xiu's meaning, and you have to get your mother's consent."
So he asked Kidney Bean to wake up Yu Xiaoxiu, who was still sleeping, and come to this house to talk.
Sure enough, although Yu Xiaoxiu envied Yu Shu for having one more parent, he shook his head sensibly and said: "It's good for my sister to admit it, I am a relative like Aunt Hui in my heart, because my mother is still alive, and I am an only son in the family, so it is not appropriate to recognize her relatives again."
Zhao Hui touched his head and sighed: "Good boy, really good, Aunt Hui also hurts you like a son."
Yu Xiaoxiu nodded: "Well, I know the way."
Yu Shu looked disappointed when he saw He Langzhong, and when he came back because he couldn't recognize a son, he comforted him kindly: "Uncle He is not in a hurry, you and Aunt Hui are very affectionate, why worry about not having a son to raise, I think this child is it, it's really not that there is another child."
The husband and wife blushed when Yu Shu bluntly said, you look at me, I look at you, they both laughed. Clear
