Chapter 28: Half Telling the Truth
The sun is shining, and the light is slanting.
The red-painted panes of openwork sifted through the dappled light and shadow on the four children who were standing against the whitewashed wall.
The four children were of staggered height, but their movements were the same, and they all looked down at their toes, and their little hands that had just been beaten by the family method were hanging down at their sides or behind their backs.
The two boys coincidentally tightened their mouths into a straight line, but Zhou Huai, who was a little smaller, still had traces of snot and tears on his face.
Zhou Manyin stole a glance at Zhou Manyun, who was standing on the left, out of the corner of his eye.
A few strands of soft black hair scattered around Manyun's neck, making her gesture of admitting her mistake look as well-behaved as everyone else, but Zhou Manyun's clenched little fist betrayed her disobedience.
Zhou Manyin sighed softly. Just now, the youngest Zhou Huai was only beaten once, and Zhou Shen was only three, and only she and Man Yun were beaten five times by Yinxia, who was ordered by Mrs. Zhou.
I didn't sleep at noon, ran to the embroidery building where my eldest sister Zhou Manhua lived, and when Manhua was about to follow Xie out of the house, he instigated the youngest Zhou Huai to stalk, and it was Zhou Manyun who almost missed the time.
But just one sentence: "Manyin, you are the eldest of the four children." ", let himself, who had been persuading Manyun, suffer the same punishment. Zhou Manyin's right hand stroked the redness and swelling on the palm of his left hand, and the corners of his mouth were pulled up in pain. She also clearly remembered that when she was casting the family law just now, it was obvious that Yinxia would beat Man Yun much lightly.
"Fifth sister! I'm sorry for you! Zhou Manyun noticed the small movement of Manyin's hand, his face did not move, and his thin voice squeezed out his lips. Such aggrieved speech was also learned in the previous life.
Zhou Manyin turned her face lightly, smiled lightly, and said, "My own sister, it should be." ”
"Hmm!" , Zhou Manyun's head lowered, and a sentence of her own sister reminded her of Zhou Manhua who had just gone out.
Although Zhou Manyun has been staring at the lobby sister Zhou Manhua all along, using it as a reference for fear of losing the Du family, but after all, she can't turn a blind eye to Manhua's young life.
Therefore, when Zhou Manyun watched a group of maids and wives walk towards the back garden one after another, he was frightened at the moment, so he took a few children to go to the eldest sister Manhua to play together. But when he arrived at the embroidery building, Manhua didn't have anything to do, but was picking out clothes and preparing to go out to a dinner with Xie.
Go to the feast, go to the feast at this moment of life and death? Zhou Manyun intuitively felt that he had to leave Zhou Manhua in the courtyard to be more at ease.
So after three and two rough teasing, the youngest Zhou Huai became Manyun's most haode helper.
Can zuihou result? Zhou Manyun sighed, and the result of zuihou was that the maid next to Manhua called a few children's people, and then, only one mother Zhu could carry the most ferocious Manyun and Zhou Huai into the air.
didn't stop Zhou Manhua's travel, and caused trouble to his mother. Zhou Manyun was ashamed of himself, for being as stupid and clumsy as he was in his previous life and in this life.
The children held their breath and reflected deeply, while their mothers were pleading guilty in front of Mrs. Zhou for the sake of a few villains.
"Mother! It's not appropriate for Sister Yun to do this, but she should have heard me tell the people about the peace outside, so she worried about her sister! The child's family ......", Du Shi lowered his eyebrows and smiled, stunned to hold back a little gentleness.
"Kids?" , Mrs. Zhou's hand was gently pulling the lid of the white porcelain bowl buckled on the tea bowl, making a crisp jingle sound.
"After teaching the children a lesson, you mothers are distressed? My lord and I, five sons and three daughters, didn't we train them like this back then? The ancestors of the Zhou family are not the same! Mrs. Zhou's voice suddenly rose up, but she also seemed full of energy.
"I know that a few of you have more or less known about the outside world. It is estimated that everyone thinks that the fourth child has told me that he has restrained people from going out, and this master must be guarded at home. But there is such a reason to be trapped and guarded against thieves all day long...... Lou Zhixian is fine, but his wife He is the granddaughter of the former cabinet scholar He Gong Xinhe, and the granddaughter of Qian Gong, the governor of the southwest, and Mrs. Qian is my eleventh aunt. The Zhou family stayed in Fengjin at the beginning, and it was also entrusted to her that they rented the house here......"
Mrs. Zhou looked around at the expressions of all her daughters-in-law who were stunned, and suddenly felt that it meant nothing. The marriage of the high-ranking family is a good match, but the daughters-in-law in front of them, who were set by Zhou Xian's foolish worms, all have natural birth defects, so that they have no concept of these people's sophistication, and they will only add to the chaos when they encounter trouble.
Mrs. Zhou let out a long sigh helplessly, and then went on to briefly talk about her original plan.
After Zhou Tan left, Mrs. Zhou and her eldest daughter-in-law Xie agreed to send a servant woman to deliver a letter to He, wanting to be negotiated by Lou Zhixian and let Zhang Qian, who is now stationed in Pingzhou Defense in Tunxi Bay, borrow some soldiers to come to Zhou's house. As a result, when the mother-in-law came back, she directly reported that He should come down, and invited Xie and Manhua to the banquet.
The three daughters-in-law praised in unison, "Mother is wise!" For a while, the good sound kept pouring into Mrs. Zhou's ears, just begging to bring her doll back as soon as possible......
"Five brothers and sisters! This family has its own mother, and our fourth master is also helping, so you should worry less about it and take care of the fetus. In the middle of the courtyard, Min dragged Zhou Huai's little hand, his eyebrows flew and he was angry, and without waiting for Du to answer, he turned around and left.
Zhou Manyun hid his little shadow in Du's shadow, and followed behind the silent mother, following in the same direction.
Shen Shi is feeding.
And the west wing where the mother and daughter live, even if they eat, have been kept quiet and quiet, completely losing the excitement of the past.
Zhou Manyun, who was stuffed with food like a duck by Zhu's mother, peeked at the silhouette of Du Shi sitting upright, and felt a sour feeling in the bottom of his heart.
"Mother!" , Zhou Manyun rushed to Du Shi's side and knelt down, holding his mother's knees, a little face with pear blossoms and rain was raised, his vocal cords choked, and said, "Mother! You listen to Yun'er, Yun'er is not fooling, because, because ......"
Du Shi lowered his head and looked at Man Yun quietly, as if patiently waiting for her explanation.
Zhou Manyun's heart sank and said clearly: "Mother! For the past few days, the child has been having nightmares. In the dream, Manhua's sister died...... is dead, and there is still a mother, and there is a mother ......"
"I'm dead too?" , Du Shi pulled down Zhou Manyun's little hand that suddenly covered his lips, and his tone was cold.
Sure enough, if you say it, your mother will be disgusted. Man Yun closed his eyes sadly, but his little head nodded slightly.
"Stupid!" , Du Shi took a sip, reached out and pulled Man Yun, who had a stunned face, into his arms, and clasped her head on his neck and shoulders. "I had a nightmare, and I was scared, so I told my mother directly. What are you messing around! ”
"Mother, no!" , Man Yun's tears flowed even more fiercely, and his words were vague, "Really...... It's like the real thing......"
"Actually, ......", Du Shi stroked Man Yun's hair with his hand for a while, thinking about how to comfort his daughter who had obviously drilled the tip of the horns.
Suddenly, there was a chaotic rush of footsteps outside the door, and the shouts of some servants, which stirred up Du Shi's thoughts before he sorted out.
She picked up Man Yun, who was lying on her body, got up and walked to the door, only two steps before she felt that it was difficult to move, and when she looked down, Man Yun was holding her legs, and her two big eyes were begging.
"Silly boy!" , Du Shi simply took Man Yun zhanzhu and shouted loudly, "Xiaoman, Bai Lu, look at what's wrong!" ”
With a neat response, two figures flashed out the door, and then swept towards both sides of the courtyard.
I forgot that in addition to myself and my mother, there are also them. Zhou Manyun suddenly came out of his mind, were Bai Lu and Du Xuanshuang also in the Zhou family in their previous life? If there was no one in the past life, but there is one in this life, then will it ......
"It's the big grandma and the big girl who are back! It seems that the eldest girl accidentally fell into the water and came back early, "......", the first to come back was Bai Lu who went to the front yard to investigate the situation. As early as when he learned that Xie took Manhua out, Du asked Du Xuanshuang to arrange for two people to follow secretly, and it was convenient for Bai Lu to get information.
Drowning? Du's eyes narrowed, and he looked down at Man Yun, only to see that the fear in his daughter's eyes was even stronger. Her expression was also awe-inspiring, and she flipped her hand and clasped Bai Lu's wrist, "What about the big girl?" Do you have...... Is there any death? ”
"Nope! I heard that it was just a drop into a lotus pond, the kind that can stand up as soon as you stand up. It's just that in a panic, I may have choked on a few mouthfuls of water......", Bai Lu replied crisply.
"Big girl is fine!" , interjected in return for Xiao Man, who ran back from the back garden, panting slightly, "I heard that the eldest grandmother arranged for the mother-in-law to go to the kitchen to make calming tea, and said that it was cool and warm for the eldest girl to drink!" ”
Not dead? Zhou Manhua is not dead! The tight strings on Zhou Manyun's body suddenly loosened, and leaned softly against Du Shi's body.
"It's fine!" , Du Shi smiled warmly and touched his daughter's top hair, "Little fool, sometimes dreams are reversed......"
