Chapter 2: A Summer of Clouds and Rain (27)

Wujian said and picked up a crystal perfume bottle, pressed the rubber ball twice, and pulled Jingyi over, letting her walk over from the perfume mist, "Does it smell good?" Occasionally, when I'm not happy, I like to do this, and I put all my worries behind for a while. "She said as she took a smaller crystal bottle, opened the lid at the top, and rubbed it a little behind her ear.

Jingyi sneezed violently.

Wujian smiled, hugged her, and said in her ear, "Silly Yi'er, you're uncomfortable." Think about me, what are you doing? Well? ”

Jingyi was dragged out of the door by Wuji, and the heat outside surrounded her, and her face suddenly became feverish again. The newly stained perfume on her body was set off by the heat, and it was extraordinarily strong, making her feel a little faint......

On the way to Mrs. Zhao's courtyard, they had to pass through a long verandah, and the weather was hot, so they stopped and stopped, and they arrived at the side hall where Mrs. Zhao set up a banquet.

Jing Yi first saw her mother, Feng Wanwei, the second wife of the Cheng family, sitting on Mrs. Zhao's right hand, wearing a rain-soaked azure silk shirt, looking very good, seeing her daughter, her beautiful eyes flowed, and she paid attention silently for a moment, still sitting there, shaking a fan - Jing Yi went over to say hello to her mother-in-law first.

Mrs. Cheng, Du Houde, and Mrs. Zhao sat side by side. Both of them are very rich, like a pair of laughing Buddhas. When the Flawless Sisters saw these two in the past, they always had to make fun of them first, but today they only quietly said goodbye and stood aside. Du Shi looked at Jingyi and the Zhao family sisters with a smile, and said, "Bitter summer, bitter summer, you have really lost some weight." ”

Wujian couldn't hold back in the end, smiled and said, "Uncle, you are fat again." Guest"

Mrs. Cheng touched her new shirt and said to Mrs. Zhao: "It's not like that, Wan Wei is with me all day long, I don't know if I can't see it or sincerely coax me to be happy, when I asked her, she only said that I was not fat, not fat." Yesterday I was going back to the city, and I asked the girl to find the clothes for the doorβ€”it was broken! I can't wear it anymore! I see, in Xishan for more than a month, I have gained ten pounds! She pointed at the smiling Wanwei with the handle of the fan, "You just have to laugh...... It's the innocent girl to tell the truth, my aunt is fat, right? Looking at this shirt, I don't dare to sit recklessly, for fear that if I move, I will make a fool of myself. ”

As soon as Du Shi said and laughed, the women in the room even laughed at Jingyi.

Du Shi looked at Jingyi and beckoned her to come over, touched her hand and asked a few words, and said, "Your mother misses you." Go, sit with her. ”

"I don't, I'll sit with my mother." Jingyi saw that her cousins had already taken their seats, and she also sat down next to her mother-in-law.

Seeing this, Wan Wei smiled.

Du Shimo rubbed Jingyi's neck and said, "It's still a little ten." Eat more later, your aunt's dishes are also known as delicious - eldest sister, didn't you say you were going to quit your original cook? Did you quit? I eat his dishes cutely. I got up early and told Wan Wei that I was afraid that I had already resigned, and I wouldn't be able to eat that bite from now on. ”

"Nope. The old man is used to eating the dishes he makes, and if he wants to quit him, the old man is not happy. The old lady also said forget it, if you have a bigger temper, you can get bigger, these years are turbulent, his temper is so turbulent, I am afraid that it will be difficult to tolerate him elsewhere. After thinking about it, I think it's the same, he still has a big family to support him. The old lady used him when he was alive, and he has been an old man for nearly twenty years. Mrs. Zhao said helplessly.

"I used to serve Lafayette, can I not have a big temper? It's better not to quit, but we're less blessed if we quit. "Du Shi is very happy.

Jingyi fanned her. She knows that her mother-in-law is the most greedy. Her grandmother treated her mother very well, partly because she could occasionally cook one or two things that no one else could make for her to eat. She glanced at her mother. Maybe I haven't seen it for a long time, but my mother looks a little lighter, faintly beautiful, and still moving. Mother was whispering to Immaculate, gentle and tactful...... Her mother is extremely beautiful and soft, and she is very popular. Father alone...... She always knew this, but when she saw and thought about it today, she was especially sad.

Mrs. Zhao then passed the meal.

Jingyi still sat beside her with Du Shi.

When Du Shi and Mrs. Zhao talked about moving, they inevitably complained in their words, saying that the time was in a hurry, and the old man actually said that the wind was the rain, and he refused to forgive it at all. He also said that the old garden and the new garden were repaired together, and the old man didn't show his tone at all in advance...... "If it's a trivial matter, you know, eldest sister, the old rule in our family is to be diligent and thrifty, not to mention that there are many things left in the hometown, and I have saved a lot of things for decades since I hit the family. ”

"He's got his plans." Mrs. Zhao said with a smile. In any case, she defends her brother.

Jing Yi stared at the white jade chopstick rest in front of her.

"Why doesn't Yi'er eat it?" Du Shi turned his head and found Jingyi sitting still, and asked.

"Eat." Jingyi picked up the bowl. The hands trembled, and the soup almost spilled. Fortunately, she stabilized in time. It seems that no one else has noticed her slight gaffe. She took a sip of the soup. Listening to her grandmother praising the deliciousness of the soup, she just didn't know where the deliciousness was...... When my heart was in turmoil, I choked.

She coughed and hurriedly told her to retreat and go out first.

When I came to the back, I was blown by the cool breeze through the hall, and I coughed even more. Tears rolled out, and as soon as they fell, they fell all over their faces...... She sat down with her hands on the pillars.

A hand gently patted her back.

She hurriedly took a handkerchief and wiped her eyes, "Mother." She cried out, and when she turned around, she was too late to lean into her mother's arms.

Wanwei's hand stopped, held her daughter's face, looked at her, and said, "Yi'er, after a few days of settling down, let's go home." It can't always be up to your temperament. Wan Wei's voice was low. Her words always seem to be light and weightless, but every time she says them, they are a foregone conclusion.

It was like a stone pressing on Jingyi's shoulder, she looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I ......"

On the white transparent face, a layer of blush floated.

She was waiting for her daughter to continue.

"Anyway, you can't always stay at my aunt's house. No matter how good your wife is, you can't lose your proportion. Wan Wei said, sighed, and wiped her daughter's face with her own hands. Looking at her daughter, she also seems to have a thousand words, but she can't say them in one breath.

Jingyi nodded. You can't go home without going back.

"Yi'er, what's wrong with your face?" Wan Wei asked. She looked at her daughter's face carefully. From the moment her daughter entered the door, she noticed that she was wrong, and she didn't come to ask carefully until now. Jingyi didn't answer, she asked again, "Look at your eyes...... Is this a swollen cry? ”

Jingyi put her arms around her mother's waist, not wanting her to look at her more closely.

"Do you often cry these days, you child? I knew that this was the case, and I should have taken you to Xishan. By my mother's side, it's better no matter what...... Yi'er, don't think that your mother doesn't understand your mind. Mother understands. ”

"Mother," Jingyi looked up.

Yes, her mother understands everything.

It's just that her mother never goes against her husband's will.

But what if it's for her beloved daughter?

"Mother, I'm not married." Jingyi said.

Wanwei seemed to have finally waited for her daughter's words, she was silent for a moment, and said, "These words, wait for you to go home, say them slowly." She pulled Jingyi's hand over. Suddenly pulled it higher, and his voice suddenly panicked, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Yi'er, where is the bracelet?" Why is the bracelet missing? ”

Jing Yi looked at her wrist in a daze, and was held in the palm of her hand by her mother, and there were a few red marks on her pink left wrist...... That crisp sound burst in my ears.

"Speak!" Wan Wei urged.

"It's broken." Jingyi said. This bracelet was given to her by her grandmother not long ago, and the style is a little old, but she likes it. My grandmother only told her to wear it for a long time, and she did it for a while.

"Broken?" Wan Wei was stunned for a moment before asking. She suddenly secretly complained. Shattered...... What if an ordinary bracelet was broken?

Jingyi saw that her mother's face was different, and said, "I didn't have a heart. ”

It took a while for Wan Wei to say, "You said so lightly...... Do you know that this thing is lost...... This bracelet is not an ordinary bracelet, Yi'er. ”

Jing Yi raised her right wrist and looked at the surviving jade bracelet, but she couldn't see anything special. If there is anything special about it, it is just that I have been wearing it for a long time, and I always have some feelings. But judging by my mother's reaction, I am afraid that this bracelet has some origin...... She was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mother, ...... this bracelet?"

Wan Wei said: "Blame me too, I'm afraid that you won't wear it, so I haven't made it clear." ”

Jingyi put away her right hand and wanted to take off the bracelet.

Wan Wei pressed her hand.

"Mother!" Jingyi exclaimed in a low voice.

"Put it on, don't take it off. It's come to this, you must be careful about this one...... I'll talk to my wife when I get back. Wan Wei looked at the simple and elegant jade bracelet on Jing Yi's wrist. After Du Shi took it out of the box that day, he gave it to her very carefully and took it back to Jingyi to wear, who knows...... She felt uneasy. It's the kind of uneasiness that knows what might happen, but doesn't know when, where, and how.

Broken jade, after all, is a bad omen.

Wan Wei picked up Jingyi's wrist, walked back with her, and said, "You can pack up your things and go back with me." From today onwards, you are not allowed to go out without me. ”
