Chapter 5 Dragonflies
Zhen Xuan thought about it, and when she heard her grandmother call her, she told her about going to the long room today. When Mrs. Li heard this, she felt a lot more relieved, but she was old and a little tired, so she only said that she would not come out for dinner, so she went back to her room to rest first.
Zhen Xuan was worried about Ji's and asked cautiously, "Mother, is there anything bothering?" ”
Ji raised his head, looked at Zhen Xuan, and pulled out a smile in a half-loud voice: "Probably tired on the road." Nothing. ”
Ji didn't say it, and Zhen Xuan didn't want to ask, so this matter had to be stored in his heart.
Half a month later, Zhen Xuan went to the women's school again, and there was nothing uncomfortable with Zhen Qi Zhenlin. She lived in the third room in her previous life, and she was familiar with Zhenqiong, but now that she sees her, she has a sense of cordiality, but unfortunately Zhenqiong is still silent. Zhenhuan is still alone, Zhen Xuan estimated that she was probably uncomfortable among the sisters, and he didn't want to associate with her, so he went with her.
After class on this day, Zhen Xuan was dragged to the long room by Zhen Qi, and Cao was also happy to see her, and asked a lot about Ji's affairs, only saying that she was going to serve in front of her mother-in-law, although she wanted to go to see Ji's, it was not easy to go away.
Zhen Xuan knew that the relationship between the Cao family and the Ji family was good, so he answered more.
"The old lady is not in good spirits these days, and I, as a daughter-in-law, can't spare time." Cao Shi lowered his voice, looked at the old lady Ma who was squinting and napping on the couch, and said, "The people said that it has been raining heavily these days and nights, and the old lady has not slept well. Aunt Six is in good spirits? ”
Zhen Xuan shook her head and replied, "I can't sleep well, I just read books these days and nights, sleep less, and I've been sleeping in the afternoon." ”
Old Madam Ma coughed lightly a few times and opened her eyes.
Cao Shi frowned, and hurriedly went to the couch: "Daughter-in-law's fault, you are resting." ”
"I don't blame you." Mrs. Ma sighed, "I'm old, and I woke up at the slightest movement." Seven girls, what is your grandmother reading? ”
Zhen Xuan listened to Mrs. Ma's question, and also stepped forward: "It's all scriptures." ”
Mrs. Ma nodded: "The scriptures are good, and the heart is calm." It's a pity that my eyes can't be seen anymore, and I can't see the small words clearly. ”
Sun had just asked the nurse to take Brother Chen to take a nap, and he happened to come in and said in a warm voice: "Grandmother, I remember that when you had your birthday the year before last, the uncle copied a Heart Sutra, and let the monks of Faguang Temple in Beijing open the light and make a birthday gift for you." That Heart Sutra is big, and you have praised it. ”
Cao Shi also remembered it, and said: "Wanyun still has a good memory, and that Heart Sutra should be stored in the Book Pavilion." ”
Sun smiled: "Today, I will ask a few maids to go to the library to find it and send it to my grandmother." ”
When Mrs. Ma heard this, she was very happy, and after answering a few good words, she closed her eyes and rested.
Zhen Xuan walked out of the hall, looked at the sky that was slowly darkening again, and said that it was going to rain again, so he quit the Cao family and the Sun family and went out of the long room.
Zhen Xuan didn't prepare a carriage, and Tao Aya was left by her to serve Mrs. Li, leaving her alone.
Coming out of Qingrong Hall, along the blue-gray brick wall all the way to the north, the house is deep, and the cold silence is even more dull than before the rain.
Zhen Xuan's fingers touched the brick wall, her fingertips hurt slightly, she kept her head down, didn't pay attention to the road under her feet, and when she raised her head, there was a plaque in front of her.
Qingfutang in the third room, it turned out that unconsciously, she actually walked to the third room. She looked up at the tall plaque, because the subordinates often wiped it, the plaque that had been hung for decades still looked bright and new, completely different from the Qing'an Hall in the fifth room.
Zhen Xuan has lived in this Qingfu Hall for two years, although there are not many beautiful memories, but there are still some nostalgia.
She would come here, probably because she subconsciously wanted to go in and have a look.
Thinking that the third old lady and old lady Jia were not there, Zhen Xuan relaxed a little and raised her feet to cross the threshold.
She didn't want to disturb anyone, so she deliberately bypassed someone's house and went to a remote place. Qingfu Hall is much larger than Qing'an Hall, and there is a big garden in it, she liked that garden very much in her previous life, and she sat in the pavilion in the afternoon to read books and learn words, which was very clean.
Walking through the verandah and turning the moon gate, Zhen Xuan looked at the figure in the garden and couldn't help but sigh. There have never been many people coming to this garden, so she liked it in her previous life, but she didn't expect there to be people today.
Turning around to leave, Zhen Xuan was stunned when she caught a glimpse of the figure, she recognized that figure, she had seen his back countless times, and what he left her was always his back.
"Second master......" Zhen Xuan muttered softly.
The magic barrier was like a demon, and Zhen Xuan couldn't control his steps and walked towards Zhen Che.
What to say? What to ask? Zhen Xuan couldn't figure it out for a while, she only felt that she was confused, and her mind was full of the resentful and sad eyes that she saw later.
The footsteps brought Zhen Che back to his senses, he turned back suddenly, and when he saw Zhen Xuan, the disappointment in his eyes flashed, leaving a trace of puzzlement, and he said in a daze: "Seventh sister." ”
A "seventh sister" was poured from her head like a basin of cold water, Zhen Xuan's body shook, those thoughts flew away in an instant, looking at the person in front of him, the words were in his throat, and he could only say: "Second brother." ”
Zhen Che took a deep breath, looked at this uncommon seventh sister, and asked, "Why did you come here?" Nor do I bring a person. ”
"Didn't you bring anyone with you?" As soon as the words came out, she knew that something was wrong, Zhen Xuan lowered her head to avoid Zhen Che's puzzled gaze, "It's going to rain, why is the second brother still in the garden?" ”
Before Zhen Che could say anything, he saw a few dragonflies flying by beside him, and Zhen Xuan on the side also saw it, and opened his palm to see if any of them would fall.
Zhen Xuan still remembers that a long, long time ago, she was Mo Yan, who had just lost her parents, and Zhen Che was only eight years old that year, and they lived together for a month in the old Shaw Brothers mansion.
The same spring, the same rain before, Zhen Che caught a dragonfly for her to play with, but let her go.
"Has the second brother ever caught a dragonfly?" Zhen Xuan sniffed, not letting her voice reveal her emotions, "Don't catch the dragonfly, the dragonfly will be sad if it can't find its parents." ”
At that time, looking at the dragonflies flying away, Xiao Mo Yan said this to Zhen Che.
As soon as the words fell, Zhen Xuan saw Zhen Che's surprised expression, and his heart tightened, secretly thinking that he still remembered.
Zhen Che stared at Zhen Xuan, this seventh sister would come to the third room alone made him very puzzled, and now he said such a thing, it was what Mo Yan said back then, and now it came out of Zhen Xuan's mouth.
He wanted to ask, but he didn't know where to ask, and the feeling passed by in a flash, and he didn't catch it for a while, so he couldn't figure it out.
After hesitating, he suddenly heard another sound of footsteps from the other side of the garden.
Zhen Xuan also heard it, she frowned, turned to look at the person, and when she saw it clearly, her brows tightened a little.
The person who came was Su Manyue, the woman who wanted to replace Mo Yan as the second grandmother.
Su Manyue's mother is Mrs. Jia's eldest daughter Pei Shikui, Pei Shikui is six between sisters, and after losing her husband a few years ago, she took her daughter back to her parents' house to live, and the Su family was worried about the power of the Pei family, so they didn't dare to say much.
She is dressed in goose yellow, with a white pear blossom in her hair, and a pair of watery eyes.
But Zhenxuan just wanted to snort coldly, this woman and her are not the same hatred, if it weren't for her and Mrs. Jia, Mo Yan would not have been forced to kill herself all the way.
Zhen Xuan has heard a lot about Mrs. Jia.
When Mrs. Jia was pregnant with the world, the third master accepted Aunt An, and within two months, Aunt An was also pregnant. Jia Shi looked at her stomach with a few mothers-in-law, and they all said that she was pregnant with a boy, so she patiently did not trouble Aunt An.
didn't expect that the most difficult thing to give birth to was her daughter, Mrs. Jia was so angry that she looked for Aunt An when she was out of confinement. Although Aunt An was born prematurely, she gave birth to a boy in one fell swoop, and she is now the fourth master. After six years, neither of them gave birth to a son and a half daughter, and in the seventh year, Aunt An gave birth to another boy, but unfortunately died at the age of seven.
On the other hand, Mrs. Jia, later she still had a fifteenth master, and the tenth master who came out of the fifteenth master is now six years old, for the sake of this six-year-old grandson, Mrs. Jia will be bent on framing Mo Yan.
And it was the fourth master's concubine who was used by Mrs. Jia to frame Mo Yan - the fourth master, Zhenxu. The fourth old man was managed by his mother-in-law Mrs. Jia when he was a child, and the fourth wife Shen had a very good relationship with the fourth old man after entering the door, but unfortunately her stomach did not move for three years, and Mrs. Jia took the lead and raised the eldest maid Lin as her aunt and gave birth to Zhen Xu.
Thinking of Zhen Xu, Zhen Xuan sighed secretly, such a gentle son, but he just had a grandmother like Mrs. Jia, Zhen Xu probably never thought that occasionally saying a few words to her sister-in-law would harm her to such a point.
Su Manyue walked over slowly, glanced at Zhen Xuan, and then left all his eyes on Zhen Che: "Cousin, I came back with my grandfather and grandmother, and my cousin will go to say goodbye." ”
Zhen Xuan also raised her head to look at Zhen Che, Zhen Che had been cold and indifferent to this cousin before, but Su Manyue was desperately entangled, and even forced her cousin to death to achieve her goal.
Zhen Xuan remembered Zhen Che's expression in front of the archway, such resentment and pain could not prevent the death of the person in his arms. After that scene, I think Zhen Che will not have a good face for Su Manyue anymore.
Sure enough, Zhen Che didn't even look at Su Manyue, took Zhen Xuan's hand, and said, "It's going to rain, I'll send you back." ”
Zhen Xuan nodded in response and followed Zhen Che out of the garden.
Su Manyue was full of surprise, and was about to call Zhen Che, but saw Zhen Xuan turn her head and glance at her. Under those eyes, there are three points of disdain, three points of mockery, and the rest is full of pleasure.
That glance made Su Manyue's back cold, and he didn't make a sound. Why did such a look come from a nine-year-old girl, who had no contact with the young lady in the next room, why did she look at her like this?
Su Manyue bit her lip tightly, and thought that Zhen Che had left like that, as if she didn't exist at all, and in addition to being sad, she was jealous and hated Mo Yan, who had died, she turned to the direction of the archway, and sneered: "Don't let me feel better if you die?" It's a pity that you're dead, I still have enough time, I want to see if you, a dead man, can consume a living man! ”
