Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (9)
"You get up first. Seeing Jingyi's dusty dress and dirty face, she said, "Go and freshen up, change your clothes and come back." β
She deliberately ignored the flash of brightness that flashed on Jing Yi's face in an instant. That's because of the surprise of seeing hope.
She didn't want to give Jingyi this illusion, so she still had a cold face.
Jingyi had no choice but to stand up. She understands that her mother is quite clean, and she always sees people untidy. Even the ink on the writing and painting paper has to be thrown away and restarted.
Fortunately, her mother was willing to listen to her, and she had nothing else to ask for at the moment.
Wan Wei saw that Jing Yi's posture was a little deformed when she knelt for a long time, and she walked awkwardly, so she turned her face away from her, and said to Cui Xi, "Give me the pills." Her voice was low. Jing Yi hadn't walked out the door yet, she knew that Jing Yi must have heard it, so she didn't pay attention to it.
Jingyi returned to her room and called Qiuwei, but no one answered. Only then did she remember that she hadn't seen Qiu Wei since she entered the door. I heard her name Qiu Wei outside, and her nurse Qiao's mother came in and whispered to her: "Mrs. locked Qiu Wei in the back, saying that she would be locked up for a few days." I'll wait for the lady to wash her face and change her clothes. β
Jingyi was anxious when she heard this, and said with a pause: "Mother is really, what is the matter with Qiuwei?" Where is it? I'm going to see her...... Rub"
Qiao's mother hurriedly stopped and said, "Miss, don't add fuel to the fire." Qiu Wei should also be in charge, but she has become more and more unruly recently. Miss, you know that Mrs. has a lot of rules. Mrs. Just asked where you went, Qiu Wei refused to say a word. But the wife is angry. β
Jingyi was dumbfounded. A burst of remorse. Qiu Wei's girl has a naΓ―ve temperament, she only recognizes her as a master, since she followed her, but she is very delicate, even if she makes a mistake, she is reluctant to say a word about her. Now I'm locked up, and I don't know how to cry!
"Don't worry, Miss. After a while, the wife was discouraged and let her out. If it doesn't matter, the backyard is not a prison cell, and it is not in the way. Qiao's mother said.
I don't know that Qiao's mother said that she had no intention, but Jingyi listener meant it. When the word cell was spoken, Jing Yi felt particularly stinging, and people couldn't help but be stunned.
Qiao's mother looked at Jingyi's face and stood aside and waited.
Jingyi had no choice but to wash up quickly and change her clothes again, and asked Qiao's mother to comb her hair.
Her hair is long and abundant, and Qiao's mother is old and dizzy, and she hasn't served her to comb her hair for a long time, so she is a little rusty and slow. She was accustomed to Qiu Wei's neatness and dexterity, and she had to be patient before Qiao's mother combed her with the simplest braid. But before she could stand up, the top of her hair was already scattered. She had to take a headband and put it on, but Qiao's mother said proudly, "How beautiful." β
Jingyi was originally anxious, but seeing Qiao's mother like this, she couldn't help but want to laugh. She was tired of being in Qiao's mother's arms and said, "I have to go to my mother's." β
"Miss, don't screw with your wife." Qiao's mother touched Jingyi's face, looked at her, and said, "Mrs. has a heartache, even if others don't feel sorry for her, you have to be the first to feel sorry for her, right?" If you are without you all these years, what is the interest of my wife? You've got to think for her. You are married, she has to live in this family. β
"Mom Qiao, don't say it." Jingyi twisted her face away and stood up.
"I'm talkative, miss. But you are my grandmother, and you are as close as my Ling girl. Ling Yatou also got married last year, and when you get married, Miss, I will serve my wife; In the future, when I get old, my wife doesn't need me anymore, so I'll go with Ling Yatou. Miss, my hope is Ling girl, and my wife's hope is on you. In the future, if you marry a good uncle, your wife will have a better life with you in the future. Miss, you are literate and hyphenated, and you also understand those big truths that I don't understand, and I can't say anything to persuade you, so I want to say a word, after all, the old lady will not be wrong when she looks at people......"
Jingyi turned around and hugged her nurse, shook her head silently, let go of her, and walked out of the room.
Wan Wei had taken the medicine and was half-lying on the couch, waiting for Jingyi to come.
Jingyi smelled the smell of medicine when she entered the door, and she couldn't help but feel uncomfortable. Since she was a child, as long as she smelled this medicine, she knew that her mother would be bedridden for several days. She didn't know why her mother had a heart ache......
"Mother?" She whispered, walked over, and sat down beside her mother.
Wan Wei looked at her.
"Are you better?" She was a little restless when she was looked at by her mother like this. Seeing that her mother was silent, she stubbornly spoke again, "Mother, can you release Qiu Wei first......
Wan Wei said: "I have to let you know that the people who follow you are serving you, not for the tiger." If you deceive me with you, you will not be spared. β
Jing Yi bit her lip and said, "Qiu Wei is still young and ignorant. β
"No matter how ignorant she is, she should always know which words of her master she should listen to." Wan Wei glared at Jing Yi and said to Cui Xi: "Let Qiu Wei go back to her room, she is not allowed to come out without me." β
Jingyi was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when she heard her mother say, "You are the same." Today's incident is known to your father, and not only you, but also with me are endless lawsuits. β
Cui Xi went out, and the mother and daughter were left in the house.
Jingyi lowered her head.
She remembered that when she came back, she saw the third wife from a distance, and she wondered if Cui Xi had talked to her mother. If the third wife had told her father, I'm afraid this matter would not have ended so easily...... She rubbed her earlobe.
When she was nervous, she would subconsciously rub her earlobes.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening, and the couch was leaning against the south window, which was quite bright.
She looked at her mother.
Wan Wei is afraid of the cold, and always wears long clothes and long skirts on hot days, at this time there is a thin quilt on his knees, and the phoenix wears a peony brocade, goose yellow, which was originally very delicate, but I don't know if it has been used for a long time, or how, in Jingyi's opinion, it is so dull and dull, and even the color is not as bright as before...... She opened her mouth softly and said, "Mother, I want to withdraw from the marriage." Father, he always knew what I meant, and sooner or later he told him about it...... Mother, Meng Yuan is not a bad person. β
"Let my daughter become a liar, a liar, a liar, and a limited number of people." Wan Wei said.
Jingyi hurriedly said: "Mother, I have nothing to do with him like this, if I wasn't afraid of the family's opposition, how could I ......" But she paused. It can't be said that it doesn't matter. When she met Meng Yuan, how much she had changed, maybe she was not conscious. But this is the first time that he dares to rush his mother like this. "How could I lie? You don't know how much I want to talk to you and my father in a dignified manner. β
Wan Wei shook her head.
Jingyi originally wanted to tell her mother that the reason why she went out without permission and returned late was because Meng Yuan was arrested and put in a prison cell, but now she changed her mind and said, "Mother, Meng Yuan and Brother Jiu are Yuying's classmates. β
Wan Wei thought to herself, oh, so that's the case. That's it, she hid such a good daughter, and it was discovered in this way. But she didn't say anything. What she knows best is to listen quietly to others.
"In the summer vacation when I was admitted to the preparatory department, Brother Jiu took me out to buy paper and met him in a pen and paper shop. Brother Jiu asked him where he studied. They hadn't seen each other for two years, and he told Brother Nine that he was studying medicine at St. John's, and Brother Nine said, "We have just been admitted to the preparatory department of St. John's Medical College......"
Seeing that her mother didn't say anything, Jingyi continued quietly.
That's it, he looked at her for the first time, smiled, and said Oh, you are the precious girl Xiao Shi.
She complained a little about Brother Jiu, listening to Dai Mengyuan's tone, Brother Jiu would often talk about her, I don't know what she would say? She never worried that Brother Jiu would arrange her indiscriminately, and she didn't know why at that moment, she just felt that the young man who looked at her and smiled had such clear eyebrows...... She took Brother Jiu's hand and said let's go.
Brother Jiu said to Dai Mengyuan, let's go back and drink tea together.
She hadn't seen him since then, until long after school started. She was so busy with her homework that she wanted to put herself in a book. Good friend Zhu Dongning couldn't stand it, so he dragged her to the drama club to watch the drama. It is said to be a civilized play, and in the rehearsal, there will be an inside tour before the performance. Dongning is a member of the drama club, so it is always a little convenient. She knew that Dong Ning had good intentions, so she followed. On the day I went, there were many people watching the play, most of whom were students of St. John's. She and Dong Ning are in the same place, always eye-catching, some people pay attention, and some people come over from time to time to chat with them. She thought it was because Dongning knew a lot of people, and she didn't care. Originally, she only sat next to Dongning, and she didn't want to be constantly accosted by people who came to talk to Dongning, so she gradually became annoyed. Dongning saw it, so he drove those people away, and then said with a smile that there are not so many seniors who are close to me, and today it is all because of you. She was embarrassed to say that Dongning was talking nonsense. Dong Ning said don't you know that you are the first preppy student to defeat an undergraduate student to win the new school flower? What school flowers are not school flowers, and no one gives awards. She'd never heard of it and didn't care. Dong Ning laughed and fell, and said What about the letters I forwarded to you before? She said she left it all and never opened it. Dong Ning said that she was a freak. At that time, she didn't have glasses, but she was also a little short-sighted, and she could see things a little farther away. She squinted her eyes and said What is this, anyway, no matter who it is, even if Pan An is reincarnated, if he doesn't stand three feet in front of me, he will look the same to me...... She chatted with Dongning, and when she saw someone on the stage walking out in all directions and standing in the center of the stage, she said, "Why does this person look so familiar?
She squinted and stared. Dong Ning said with a smile, didn't he see clearly? How can you see a beautiful man differently? She said it was strange, but she thought this person was very familiar. Dongning told her that it was Dai Mengyuan, a second-year senior in clinical medicine. is the darling of professors, just like every school has a school flower, there must be a few seemingly unattainable characters among the boys...... She groaned. I thought that such an unattainable figure was my ninth brother's middle school classmate.
