Chapter 95: Envy, Jealousy, Hate?
Zhou Manyun stood quietly by the door of his younger brother Zhou Kai, staring at the back of his mother Du Shi in a daze.
She still remembered the appearance of the Du family when she was reborn in Fengjin, red and bright like a fire, which seemed to be able to warm everything and ignite everything, and now, the nearly thirty Du family has never worn bright clothes, just like the lake blue like now, but it is still so beautiful that people can't help but want to hold it in the palm of their hands.
Zhou Manyun's eyes were a little moist, and she thought of the open and honest conversation she had with Master Xu Ne before.
It was also Xu Ne who said bluntly, and she realized that it was not her own wishful thinking that wanted to draw the red line for her master and mother.
As early as Zhou Kai's first birthday, after shouting out his father, Xu Ne had boldly talked to Du Shi, but Du Shi politely refused, and then Xu Ne gradually stayed away.
"My mother will definitely regret it in the future!" , After listening to the master's narration, Man Yun once asserted this angrily, but was reprimanded by Xu Ne.
He solemnly told Man Yun to think clearly, "Is it that you are liked by others, no matter what your wishes are, you must respond to like each other?" ”
Man Yun stayed for a long time, but still shook his head heavily.
In her previous life, she used her feelings to repay her kindness has proved to be a ridiculously wrong practice, and now she is replaced by her, if she is liked by someone she doesn't like, she will definitely run away.
Do unto others as you would have them do to you.
Master is a good person, so he respects his mother's wishes and feels that he has kept his distance.
"Maybe one day I will meet another woman who makes my heart flutter, maybe never, but no matter what. I will not marry one. Xu Ne's smile revealed a heavy desolation.
That moment. Man Yun seemed to see the middle-aged man sitting in the shadow corner in his previous life again, lonely and lonely.
The sun is everywhere. Turned to ashes in an instant......
Man Yun ran a few steps forward, grabbed Du Shi's waist from behind in front of Zhou Kai's small bed, and burst into tears instantly.
In this life, she wants her mother and master to live happily, but unfortunately, they don't want what she wants.
"Sister Yun!" , Du Shi smiled at the corners of her mouth, she had just tucked the corners of her sleeping son. was attacked by her daughter behind her, which made her feel very happy.
Man Yun's size was almost to Du Shi's shoulder blades, and soon, there was a faint wetness from her back, which made her feel shocked.
"Sister Yun!" , Du Shi hurriedly turned his daughter's body, held Man Yun's little face, and pushed away Man Yun's cheeks and tears in distress.
"Mother!" , Man Yun simply threw himself into Du Shi's arms regardless of it. Choked up and said, "Master told me that he wants to leave Huocheng after March next year." ”
Manyun was telling the truth, but he also had a little luck. That side. She begged Xu Ne to have a good talk with Du before leaving, and her mother was here. She also wanted to bet on whether Du Shi would be a little reluctant.
"I see!" , Du Shi smiled and took Man Yun in his arms. Softly comforted: "The man is ambitious in all directions, and your master is not a thing in the pool." It's also good to want to go out and walk outside. Just like your little brother Yu, doesn't he also want to come back as soon as he goes out with Xuanshuang? ”
"Mother!" , Zhou Manyun raised his little face, looked at Du Shi carefully, and after a while, he lowered his head and buried his head in his mother's arms, and cried softly.
Mother and daughter are connected by flesh and blood, and some feelings can't be wrong. Du's attitude, Man Yun can read it, Xu Ne wants to leave, she won't stay at all.
On the way back to Zangxiu Tower, Du Shi led Man Yun back step by step. She also stayed in the building, helped Man Yun grate her hair, and tested the temperature of the bath water before smiling and patting Man Yun's little face and turning downstairs.
"Mother! I really envy you! ”
A few sparse stars hung in the sky, Du Shanshan looked up at the sky, and when she was combing her daughter's hair just now, the sound of Man Yun muttering in her mouth seemed to be ringing in her ears.
She understands the true meaning of what her daughter said.
The newlywed Yan'er, referring to the poor woman who unfortunately lost her husband at the border of Yanzhou, her husband Zhou Zhe also said, "Shanshan, if I leave early that day, I will be happy to have someone to take over from me to take care of you." ”
And after she was hit by the Golden Crow, Xu Ne, who has been taking care of her and helping her recover from her fingers, is not cold-blooded and completely indifferent.
If you want to remarry, Huo Cheng's father-in-law and Yanzhou's mother-in-law and brother should all be tolerant and supportive.
However, she didn't want to.
First of all, the pressure on the elderly father-in-law to agree to his daughter-in-law's remarriage in Jiangnan, and his dedication to Sister Manyun's younger brother was unbearable.
Moreover, it is true that Xu Ne likes her, but he is not suitable for being old in Jiangnan, and Du Shanshan can read the thoughts and ambitions of some men.
What's more, she didn't want to leave Jiangnan, and she once made an appointment with her beloved young man to listen to the smoke and rain of Jiangnan with the tide and the moon.
Xu Ne's love is true, and he deserves a flawless emotional response. Du Shanshan asked herself if she couldn't do it.
Life is not seen, and it is like a participant.
The sentence that her husband Zhou Zhe had taught suddenly appeared in Du Shi's eyes with the starlight, she couldn't help but smile, winked at the star who couldn't recognize what star it was overhead, closed the door and locked the window to block the cold air.
On the first day of the lunar month, the peach blossom crosses, and the north wind sends the boat back.
The north wind sent a group of ships that returned from Zuihou before the northern river froze.
"Brother Xiao Yu hasn't arrived yet!" , Zhou Shen, who was standing beside Gao Wei, looked entangled anxious and excited.
When Gao Wei heard this, his gaze swept over the crowd and naturally fell on Zhou Manyun, who was wearing a light brown shirt. The girl who refused to see Xue Sujun before took the initiative to run out of the house today, which made Gao Wei feel a little uncomfortable.
Gao had emphasized to him and Zhou Shen that he could not see his sister Manyun as the same as a merchant woman like the Xue family. Therefore, he thought that Manyun's unhappiness before might also be because of what the elders had said in their ears.
However, as soon as Man Yun received the letter from the north and knew the date when Du Xuanshuang and Xu Yu would arrive, he actively greeted him.
Du Xuanshuang, who was called his uncle by Man Yun, is just the son of the fifth aunt Du's nurse, and Xu Yu is only the son of Xu Ne, a former Taoist priest, and his identity is not more noble than Xue Suxuan.
It's hard to do it. It's really like accidentally overhearing the complaints of Zhou Manjing, the eighth girl of the Zhou family, and Zhou Manshu, the seventh girl. Zhou Manyun, who is pampered by Zhou Xian, prefers to stay with the boys and doesn't look down on other girls.
It's good to be outstanding but not outstanding. But it's not good to be arrogant because of this. My mother once mentioned that when my aunt Gao Hui was in the boudoir, she was often a little arrogant, and she and her uncle would have trouble with each other. In addition to the absurdity of her uncle, her aunt's inability to let go of her arrogance is also one of the main reasons.
However, girls with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes are really boring. If Manyun can change it slightly, it will be perfect.
Gao Wei's heart was quickly pulled back by a burst of cheers.
The flotilla from the north approached, and someone on the first piece of armor had already thrown the cable towards the shore.
A gray figure jumped neatly to the shore, scooped up the cable that was still dangling, and firmly coiled the rope on the mooring post on the shore.
Without waiting for the board to be set up, Xu Yu immediately jumped off the boat and stood firmly on the shore, and his beautiful skills and youthful face immediately attracted several applause from the idlers on the shore.
"It's still the virtue of showmanship!". Zhou Manyun commented with great disdain, but the two big smiling eyes were smiling, and his steps ran briskly towards the place where Xu Yu was standing.
"Boy! You're good, just here! Xu Yu smashed his fist on the gray-clothed man who was tied to the boat just now, and generously expressed his appreciation.
He originally wanted to go directly in the direction of seeing Man Yun and the others, but when he missed his eyes, he found that the gray-clothed handyman with good skills was actually a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, so he couldn't help but stop. I said yes.
How did you use him? Zhou Manyun, who was rushing over, gradually slowed down, and Xu Yu, who had sunburned so much that the river breeze was blowing enough, was dark, and she also recognized the little handyman beside him who was seriously immersed in work. She recognizes it too.
Xiao Hong, who left proudly from Zhou's mansion dressed in bright clothes and a noble son, was wearing a half-worn gray overalls, running forward and backward according to the foreman's shout.
Seeing Man Yun from afar, Xiao Hong deliberately paused. He grinned triumphantly and bared his white teeth. Then a bunch of people who followed the unloading crowded onto the cargo ship that Xu Yu had just come down.
"Zhou Shen! I miss my brother to death! Xu Yu grabbed Man Yun's shoulder. All of a sudden, her vision was tightly blocked.
The boy, whose real surname was Zhou Mingshen, slowed down his steps and touched his nose in annoyance. Under the unremitting squeeze of his cousin Man Yun over the years, he has become a half-transparent person.
Fortunately, Xu Yu didn't forget him, and while putting one hand on Man Yun's shoulder, the other hand was also on Zhou Shen's shoulder, pushing the two children towards the carriage waiting for the Zhou family.
"Hey! Little four, how did you do it, my brother has been away for more than half a year, and you haven't grown at all, Brother Shen is much taller than you! Xu Yu hummed with a little dissatisfaction.
The little fourth person he said was really Zhou Shen, although Zhou Shen was half a year older than Man Yun, but now he is three inches taller than him.
"Uncle said that my height will grow in the back, now let her first. After three or two years, I'll be on the same side as you. ”。 Zhou Shen smiled with a smile on his face, very happy.
Gao Wei, who came out with him, was unintentionally pulled behind by his brothers and sisters.
It wasn't until he was about to get into the car that Zhou Shen came to his senses, and explained to Gao Wei who followed with him with a red face: "Cousin, I'm sorry, I haven't seen Brother Xiao Yu for a long time." ”
"The elder brother of the Xu family went back in the same car with the sixth sister?" , Gao Wei lowered his voice and questioned. He was a little surprised that Xu Yu and Man Yun did not abide by the rule of seven-year-old different seats.
"yes!" , Zhou Shen, who was smiling, answered casually, and beckoned the coachman to drive back. In his heart, Brother Xiao Yu, who has been calling him since Fengjin, is his own relative like Xu Ne, who he directly called his uncle, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong at all.
"How old is Brother Xu?"
"Seventeen! Two months older than Big Brother! Zhou Shen replied immediately without thinking.
The curious Gao Wei continued to ask, "Brother Ke is going to marry a wife next year, what about him?" ”
"No, Brother Xiao Yu is also very picky like his uncle, and Grandpa can't do anything about him!"
Zhou Shen's eyebrows danced, and he was very hard to tell Xu Yu's various stories. For his cousin Gao Wei, he has a closeness by blood, but Xu Yu, who has been in charge of him since Fengjin when he was a child, makes him worship even more.
The cousin's unconcealable joy inexplicably made Gao Wei feel a little astringent. (To be continued......)
