Chapter 49: A Man's Heart
Doing one thing well, coupled with the food that makes people feel happy, Ruri's mood is relaxed on the first day of so many days. When she went to bed at night, she dreamed of going into the kitchen.
On the stove, the white gas is thick. Inside the house, the aroma is overflowing. In front of the fire, hundreds of chubby buns and a figure in white clothes.
Isn't the famous vegetarian bun a product of the Great Mercy Grace Temple? Why is the cook dressed as a Taoist priest? In the dream, Ruri wondered. And when the Taoist leader turned around, it was: Xiao Shiyi!
It's a dream, wake up. Ruri ordered herself to be very conscious, even if she hadn't regained consciousness. But she couldn't wake up, and her body couldn't move, so Xiao Shiyi took her hand and put a white fat bun in her palm.
His fingers were so cold, like ice, that she shivered. But the bun suddenly turned into a fire, burning her so much that she even smelled the smell of burnt meat. Looking up again, where is Xiao Shiyi, it is clearly Mrs. Shi.
Madame Shi smiled at her, "Good boy, take it easy, don't let hatred blind you." You don't know who you'll meet, who you'll leave, who you'll accompany you to the end. But whoever has been with you, be grateful. ”
Ruri wanted to speak, but her throat was choked and she couldn't make a sound at all. In this way, it is like a ghost pressing the bed, and I am stuck.
But she didn't want to wake up. She suddenly fell very attached to Mrs. Shi, and only hated herself for indulging in her heart every day in the past, and her gratitude and admiration for Mrs. Shi were never spoken or expressed. But Madam Shi is so smart, she should know, right?
She stretched out her hands and wanted to hug Madame Shi. I didn't think about it, but I pounced. Stunned, he saw that Mrs. Shi instantly turned into green mist. The smile faded away and became the last impression in her heart.
She was taken aback. Fell. When I opened my eyes again, it was dark.
This time of day is the time when she is at her most peaceful. But at this moment, she was very panicked, her heart was pounding, and she had a particularly bad premonition, as if she was going to lose something forever. It was the breath of death, and she had passed so much in her two lives that she was even familiar with it.
Touch your face. It turned out to be all tears.
She sat up suddenly, and was about to call someone, when she heard a sharp knock at the door outside. Then, there was the sound of panicked footsteps.
"Who's out there?" She asked, her throat tightening.
Qingdai pushed the door in, wearing only a middle coat, loose hair, and a coat. Her beautiful little face was pale, and tears were flashing in her eyes.
"Miss......" Qing Dai cried. After another pause, she said, "Sister Red Butterfly got the news that the Cao Gang sent it over, Mrs. Shi...... Lady Stone is gone. His voice was choked.
lived in the Shi family for three years, who has not been loved and taught by his wife. Mrs. Stone. It's the mother they all share.
"When?" Ruri desperately controls the muscles in her throat and doesn't cry out right away.
"Today is the first seven." Qingdai couldn't control it anymore and sat on the ground softly. Weeping.
The first seven, the night of the soul. How worried did Mrs. Shi have to worry about her, so she came to sleep from afar? It's like a sister. also fell asleep on the first seven days, warning her and letting her escape from the fire in the Huo family. How can she make the deceased so worried!
"Help me freshen up and call Sister Red Butterfly in." Ruri got out of bed, and although her legs were trembling, she struggled to support herself.
To send an obituary to report the funeral, to build a funeral tent to sacrifice, to cure the funeral and filial piety, there are too many things to do, how can she be qualified to cry? Who is qualified to be weak. But despite the seemingly calm preparations for everything, how could the heart-wrenching sadness not overflow?
In her two lives, she was willful in front of her sister, often playing with children's tempers, but she never told her sister that she loved her sister. For Mrs. Shi, since she has taken the name of someone else's daughter and enjoys the love of a mother, she wants to call her mother, but she doesn't.
Why? Why is she always too late to do something and say something? Sometimes, she feels that the regrets in her body that can never be made up are not caused by God, but are all her own fault!
"Why don't you cry?" The man's sighing voice sounded, "It's not good to hold it in your heart. ”
raised his teary eyes, there was only a vague shadow, but he knew that it was Xiao Shiyi. The obituary in the morning was issued, and the servants at home were busy sewing filial piety clothes and building a funeral shed. This shows that he has eyeliner to stare at Shuifu. But at this time, who will pay attention to these things? I don't want to ask if he entered through the gate or sneaked in.
Xiao Shiyi bent down, stretched out his hand, and waited patiently.
The maids and mothers-in-law who lived in the house were all sent out by Liuli to help, and she was the only one in the empty yard. When he came in, he found that she was dressed in filial piety clothes, with a small white flower pinned to her black hair, and the whole person shrunk under the table, clumped into a small ball, constantly twitching, but she didn't make a sound at all, so pitiful. She probably didn't want people to see her like this, and in fact the people who entered the house really wouldn't see her unless they looked carefully. But when he saw it, his heart felt like he had been pricked by a needle, and the pain was not too bad, but it was clearly understood.
"It's not a shame to cry, it's a shame not to cry." He persuaded softly, but he couldn't stand her and even the pain was so suppressed.
"You know that the stone is not my brother. Mrs. Shi is not my mother-in-law. Liuli held her breath, because she didn't want her voice to get out of control, so she could only squeeze out her chest one word at a time.
So, aren't you qualified to cry? Xiao Yu couldn't help but shake his head. This girl always has to distinguish any relationship clearly.
"Mother doesn't mean the person who gave birth to you." His voice was softer, "It's the one who loves you, protects you, is afraid of you hot in summer, cold in winter, and worries that you will be hungry if you eat less." So cry Liuli, my mother died, and people will cry. ”
Back then, he also cried, although the woman did not give him a motherly feeling.
"Come, come to me and cry." He almost tried to persuade her, with extraordinary magic.
As if bewitched, Liuli got out from under the table, and handed her cold hands into the dry and warm palms, and the feeling of being picked up was so close to pity.
And at the moment when he felt the other party's body temperature, Liuli finally collapsed. But she still didn't want to make a loud noise, and only pulled Xiao Shiyi's collar open. Burying his whole face in his chest and muffling his cries in his clothes.
Xiao Yu is tall. In this case, you can only half-bend over to cooperate. He wanted to hold the person in his arms, but his hand was halfway up and hung down.
What else. What stirs a man's heart more than the sudden fragility of a strong, sharp, cold and distant woman, who is always on the opposite side? At this time, his internal organs were twisted together, and it was very messy, and the strange feeling was very uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it took, Wei Wei suddenly ran in, "Miss......" She wanted to report that the people from the helmsman of the Cao Gang in the capital came to mourn and wake the spirit, but they kicked in the door. A stunned person outside the door was on the ground.
She saw the young lady in filial piety clothes, the whole person was nested in the arms of the pure black Linshan County King, with strong color contrast, but strange harmony, just like the yin and yang poles in the Taiji diagram. And the king of Linshan just stood and didn't make any irregular movements, and the gentleman was very good. Before the young lady noticed her, he gently patted the young lady's shoulder, "If you cry." Just stand up. Live well and do things well in the future. The voice was so gentle that Wei Wei thought that the helper had attached the body of His Royal Highness the King of the County.
And Liuli quickly regained her senses and stood up straight with Xiao Shiyi's chest. She looked up at him. Confused for a moment, as if he didn't remember what had happened before, he said with a cold expression. "Condolences in the front yard."
Xiao Yu almost lost his smile, even if he was used to crossing the river and demolishing the bridge with Liuli. But that's too fast, isn't it? However, this proves that Ruri vented her sadness. The heart will not become sick. In the end, if he counts his merits, why bother?
He was also relieved.
"Condolences." Saying these two standard words of condolence, Xiao Yu strode out, completely ignoring the large area on his chest that was wet. Fortunately, Liuli opened the collar of his robe and cried, but it was the middle coat that was wet. The damp feeling made him feel like there were small hands scratching under his neck.
In the next few days, the white affairs of Shuifu were done in an orderly manner. This is all the credit of Ling Hongdie, because Liuli usually doesn't care about these ancient etiquette rules, and suddenly she has to handle it herself, and she can't do everything. Even the Wen sisters asked Ling Hongdie to invite back, one is the bride in July in the future, and the other is a girl who has not yet been engaged.
The ancients were superstitious, and no matter how much the Wen sisters wanted fame and wanted to please Shui Shiqiao, they didn't dare to get lucky. Besides, it is also very inconvenient for a large number of men to come and go. So they comforted Liuli for a few words and left, but Wang Linlang accompanied Liuli for two days.
Two days later, news came from the Jiangnan rudder, and Mrs. Shi's last words were that the funeral should not be done in a big way. But despite this, Shui Shi Qiao, who was very filial to his mother, had to wait until after Qiqi to return to Beijing. Although he has no real position, he has an official title, so he should be worried. But the emperor ordered him to keep filial piety in Beijing, so he could not return until about two months later.
This means that everything about dealing with Guo Younian falls on Liuli himself. She didn't panic or lose her sense of proportion. Because, everything is going according to her calculations. Because, she is used to not relying on others, even if that person is a stone. She was just unsettled in her heart, and she had a premonition that something bad would happen.
She didn't notice that Ling Hongdie wanted to speak and stopped, but after all, she didn't say anything, only sighed secretly.
Xiao Zhen came back from Dongjin Mansion, as a prince, but he did not avoid suspicion, took the initiative to help General Shui's Mansion, entertained the male guests who came to mourn, and put on a half-child attitude, giving enough face. Of course, Liuli didn't let him do more, and quickly proposed a big steward instead. Xiao Zhen only came to visit and comfort Liuli every day, and he also used his fiancé's heart.
