Chapter 88: Confession
By the Xiushui River, in the rest pavilion in the peach forest, the lotus monk was wearing a light purple gauze skirt and a hat of the same color, and the silk handkerchief in her hand was almost twisted into a twist by her. Not far away, there was a mother-in-law waiting for her, and the personal maid had no intention of coming back.
Before going out today, Lian Jushi changed seven or eight sets of clothes before he was barely satisfied, and his clothes were relatively plain and dark all these years, and it was rare to find a few bright and not too ostentatious dresses, and tried them one by one, until this pink and purple dress that made her look pink. Purple, he should like it, right?
Afraid of being seen by acquaintances, she also asked Wuxin to find a hat of the same color for her.
On the stone table in front of her, there was a package, which contained a navy blue brocade belt and a purse of the same color, which she had made in the past two days and two nights. Four pieces of dark purple gemstones were sewn on the belt, and a clump of bamboo was carefully embroidered on the purse.
Navy blue, deep purple, and strong bamboo are all Jin Xida's favorite colors and plants, and Lian Jushi is also very confident in his color and embroidery, I believe he will like it, at least ...... Well...... It won't be annoying, right?
She wasn't worried that he would reject her as tactfully as he had years ago, but...... The infatuation that has remained unchanged for so many years...... Will move him? He's an infatuated man himself!
Maybe he will be concerned about the issue of reputation, after all, she has been "cleared" by guarding the widow for many years. She would tell him that she had a way and that neither of them would lose their reputations.
There was a sound from the front, and with the cover of the hat, Lian Jushi couldn't help but raise his head quickly, and it was really unintentional.
Just as she was about to ask, she saw the small paper scroll in Wuxin's hand, and her heart sank: "Didn't it arrive?" He's gone? ”
Unintentionally handed over the note: "It's sent, Jin Gongzi wrote a reply, let me send it back." ”
Reply? He's not coming? Don't have time?
Lian Jushi took the note and opened it, with his own line of invitation on the front and a few lines of poetry on the back:
Sycamore tree next to plane tree. The fruit does not bloom and does not make red. Aimo is not a Lian Li root, you and I are different.
……
Lotus Priest's nails were pinched in the palm of his hand, and there was a subtle "crackle"......
It's so ruthless! It's heartless! Is he really that ruthless to himself? Her infatuation, she had to be trampled on so mercilessly?
For what? Even now, she still has a proud face and a clear name, where is she not worthy of him? Since you don't like her so much, why did you want to help her back then?
Lian Jushi felt dizzy, his eyes went dark, and his body involuntarily fell back.
……
The summer house is full of laughter.
On a round table in the middle of the hall. There was a large cake with a small red candle lit next to it. The whole round cake is covered with a layer of snow-white and delicate cream, and the cake surface is decorated with orange slices, red plum pieces, and bayberry just delivered from the village this morning. It is very good-looking, and the position of the center of the circle is also chopped into red dates to discharge the words "Happy Birthday".
"Happy birthday Uncle Kim, this is the birthday cake we made for you, do you like it?" Shu Yao and Shu Wen asked while holding Jin Xida's hand.
Birthday cake? Kim Heeda was shocked. Looking at the mouth-watering beauty of the big pastry in front of me, I remembered many years ago. A woman said to him, "When it's your birthday, I'll make a birthday cake for you and make sure you swallow your tongue." ”
"Uncle Kim? Uncle Kim? Do you like it or not? Shuwen shook Kim Heeda's hand: "My eldest brother, sister, and I all like birthday cakes, they are beautiful and delicious." ”
Shu Yao and Shu Jie looked at each other and smiled: Uncle Jin must have remembered her mother, and her mother's diary said that she owed Uncle Jin a birthday cake that she hadn't made yet.
Jin Xida retracted his thoughts, only to find that his eyes were a little wet: "I like it." Uncle Kim likes it so much. ”
Shuwen sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that the dragon fruit hasn't borne fruit yet, and my sister said that if you slice the dragon fruit on the cake, it will be more delicious." "Their dragon fruit has blossomed. Wait a while and it should be fruitful, and the first thing Shuwen who has never seen dragon fruit does when he comes back from the academy every day is to see the five dragon fruits.
In order to facilitate the movement in and out of the mahogany box to absorb the aura, Shu Yao kept the five dragon fruits she tried to grow in a large pot, watching them grow taller and thicker day by day.
A few days ago. The five dragon fruits lived up to expectations and bloomed at the same time, making the book so happy. Nagging: "Blossoming and fruiting, blossoming and fruiting, now that the flowers are blooming, is that dragon fruit going to grow soon?" ”
Shuwen smiled "poof": "You have been thinking about that dragon fruit, Uncle Jin has eaten it, but you are not so worried about it." ”
"Hehe," Shuwen touched his head, "Uncle Jin said that dragon fruit is delicious, and when the dragon fruit grows, I will send some to Uncle Jin to the capital immediately." But the cake is also delicious, Uncle Jin made a wish to cut the cake, the oranges on the cake are peeled by me, and the plums and bayberry are washed by me. ”
Shu Yao pouted: "The work done is the lightest, and the voice of the merit is the loudest." ”
Everyone laughed.
Under the "guidance" of Shu Yao, Jin Xida silently made three wishes, blew out the candle, and used Donnie Yen's specially custom-made knife to cut the cake into several pieces, which was longer, narrower and thinner than ordinary knives, and was obviously specially used to cut this kind of cake.
Shu Yao and the three of them sang the "Happy Birthday Song" with red brocade, blue brocade, and orange brocade, and sang it three times in a circle holding hands. Jin Xida listened to the joyful singing, looked at the sincere smiling faces, and tasted the soft and sweet cake in his mouth. For the first time in so many years, I felt the warmth of home and the love between my loved ones. This is what his so-called "family interests are above everything" of the Jin family, the father of the partial brother-in-law, the cowardly and incompetent, the mother who only uses him and calculates his own son, and those brothers who want to cling to him and use him and want to kill him.
Seeing that Jin Xida's eyes were full of happiness and warmth, Shujie was also very happy: "When my mother was here, our family had to make birthday cakes four times a year, and on Yao'er Wen'er's birthday, my mother would sometimes make double-layer cakes. We originally wanted to make a double layer for Uncle Kim today, but unfortunately it didn't work out. ”
Shu Yao hurriedly pulled Jin Xida's sleeve and promised: "Next year, we will definitely make a double-layered, more beautiful and delicious cake for Uncle Jin." ”
The first time the Shu Yao brothers and sisters made a cake, they wasted a lot of eggs and flour in front of them, and Shu Jie stirred the cream so that his hands were sour. Fortunately, although the cake is not double-layered, it tastes good and has a beautiful shape, and it is not deformed.
Jin Xida hugged Shuyao and Shuwen: "Okay." Uncle Kim waits, next year Uncle Kim will eat a double cake of dragon fruit. The voice was a little choked.
Shujie's eyes were also a little sour, this year, Jin Xida had already become one of the closest elders in their minds, and he was the person they trusted the most.
The birthday cake is a birthday gift from the three siblings to Kim Hee-da. In addition, Shu Yao also made a purse with her own hands, the color is Jin Xida's preferred navy blue, embroidered with a white tiger (embroidered according to the little girl), Jin Xida can't put it down: "Your mother will have a lot of things that others don't know, but she can't be a woman." I didn't expect Yao'er, you are so young, the female red embroidery slave is so exquisite, this little girl has made you embroider alive. ”
Kim Heeda immediately smiled and changed the purse on his waist. I was so happy that I rubbed over obediently, and shook my head next to Jin Xida, as if I wanted everyone to see it and its "little statue", so stinky and beautiful! Huohuo was very unhappy with his hands and feet, "squeaking" and protesting against the "unfair treatment" he had received, until Shu Yao promised to embroider it on Shujie's purse next time. made everyone laugh again.
At the end of the warm small birthday banquet, in addition to the three Shujie brothers and sisters, Jin Xida left Liu's mother and Aunt Mei behind, and said what the boy who sent the letter said during the day.
When Shujie talked to Jin Xida about their family's life in the past few years, he said that because of his mother's opinion, his father and mother have always let their children know what happened at home. I will also discuss some things with them as appropriate, and Kim Heida is trying to do the same now. Shujie is so good and stable, and Shuyao sisters and brothers are young but smart and sensible, so that Jin Xida does not hesitate to attribute this unique educational proposition to Donnie Yen.
"A mole on the lip. It's not Tsuizhu, right? Aunt Mei exclaimed, "Does she dare to come to the door to find the young master and the girl?" ”
Mother Liu snorted coldly: "This kind of slave who colludes with outsiders to betray his master often thinks of his master's kindness to him when he is in trouble, and then naturally feels that his master must save himself and give himself another chance." Because the master is a 'good man'. ”
Shu Jieqi said: "Is it Cuizhu?" Master Zhen didn't value her very much, and spent three hundred taels of silver to ransom her. How could she be beaten? ”
Shuwen eagerly raised his little hand: "I know the way, I know the way, Cuizhu said that day, the eldest uncle didn't pay for her, so she told them about the restaurant." The scholar's little ears are pointy and his memory is good, Mother Liu touched his head dotingly and smiled: "Our Brother Wen is so smart, Cuizhu has caught the handle of the Zhen family, but now that her body deed falls in the Zhen Mansion, the more she knows, the worse the end will naturally be."
Kim Heeda nodded in agreement: "They eat dogs, we don't have to care." But that's why I think about the guards in the house. Although Brother Jie is good and there are little obedients in the house, the current house is so big, and there are many women and children, so it still needs some nursing homes. I have asked Wang Xi to pick a few suitable ones to send them, and Mother Liu will check them when the time comes. ”
Mother Liu nodded in response.
Jin Xida also said that the general of the Xu Mansion resigned from the Lian Jushi, and invited another Mr. Qinqi: "I will also ask someone to inquire and find two good female gentlemen, if Mrs. Xu and Nian'er enter Beijing at the end of the year, Yao'er will not have to go to the Xu Mansion." The second room of the Xu family is also very uneasy. Also, Lian Jushi had some misunderstandings with me many years ago, I was worried that she would anger Yao'er, Mother Liu, Brother Jie, don't let her have the opportunity to contact Yao'er or Wen'er alone, in short, it's always good to pay more attention. ”
Shujie and the others naturally responded, especially Shujie, who heard that Lian Jushi would threaten his younger brothers and sisters, and immediately blacklisted her. As for the reason, he didn't think much about it, everyone knew that Jin Xida treated their three brothers and sisters well, and it was completely possible to threaten Jin Xida with them.
Mother Liu immediately thought that something must have happened today, and the relationship between Lian Jushi and Jin Xida must not be as simple as "some misunderstanding".
……
In the dead of night, Kim Heeda stood alone in front of the window, and the full moon hung on the treetops, imprinting Donnie Yen's soft and beautiful figure.
"Rou'er, how are you? I ate my birthday cake today, hehe, I almost swallowed my tongue. Thank you, thank you! The three siblings are very nice, really good, they make me feel that you are still by my side. Jin Xida muttered to the shadow on the moon: "Don't worry, I will take care of them for you and let them live peacefully and happily." ”
The breeze blew, and the leaves on the branches shook gently, making a "swish" sound, as if in response to him.
Jin Xida's mood at the moment is like the green leaves soothed by the soft wind and soft moonlight, reflecting the soft light, swaying gently, and slowly aftertaste......
Rou'er, do you know what three wishes I made just now? I wish the three children to be healthy and happy, second, I wish you and Tingwei (Xia Linxuan's word) have a spirit in heaven to be at ease, and third, I wish that you and I will know each other and love each other in the next life!
