Chapter 3: The Flickering Night (1)
[Chapter 3: The Flickering Night]
"Miss...... Miss! Qiu Wei shook Cheng Jingyi, who had not woken up from a nap. Shu Ma is leprosy
Jingyi pushed Qiu Wei's hand away. She didn't want to move. It's been a few days since she came back from Zhao's mansion, and she has been imprisoned by her mother, except for going to the room to ask for peace, she has hardly left the room.
"Miss! Wake up! Qiu Wei leaned over with a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on Jingyi's forehead. The swelling on her young lady's face had receded, and there were two more places, leaving a faint purple-brown bruise.
"Huh?" Jing Yi opened her eyes to see Qiu Weiyan at this time.
"Miss, letter." Qiu Wei whispered.
Jingyi sat up straight all of a sudden, and asked, "Did you just arrive?" ”
Qiu Wei hurriedly took out the letter from the placket of her clothes and stuffed it to Jingyi. Then she walked under the window, looked outside, and whispered, "Cheng Xi asked me to bring it in this time." Brother Sibao was suddenly arranged by Bao Ye to take care of Kanyuan...... Black"
Jingyi didn't have time to listen to Qiu Wei talk about the four treasures, she took the letter in her hand and opened the stack of boxy letters.
Seeing the familiar handwriting, she pressed the letter to her chest, and it took a while to calm down and see what was written on it......
The day after she returned from the Zhao Mansion, she quietly sent a letter to Dai Mengyuan. The letter told him about her situation and hoped to meet him. She had been anxiously waiting for his reply for the past two days. The left can't wait, the right can't wait, and her people are languishing. School is about to start soon, but my father still refuses to let her go back to Shanghai and let her stay at home with peace of mind. This is obviously what she means by house arrest. Leaving aside her relationship with Dai Mengyuan, she worked hard to study medicine, and she was unwilling to terminate her studies. But my father seems to have been very busy lately, and she hasn't seen him since she came home. In the upper room that day, Du's mother talked about her, only saying that her father meant that if she wanted to continue her education, then she would go back to Beiping to study. Her mother hadn't said anything yet, and the third wife present helped her father as usual. The third wife said that Miss Ten is different from the old seven and eight, and now the marriage is on the agenda. Of course, if the old seven and eight are close to Miss Ten as early as this, she will also let them take a leave of absence from school as soon as possible, and Miss Ten has always been studying outside all these years, and the female popularity is really limited, and she is about to marry a woman, should she also put some thought into this...... Although the third wife was talking about her and her mother, she only felt uncomfortable listening to it. Fortunately, it is not the first time she has heard these gossip with guns and sticks in recent years. Even if the wound on her face was deliberately asked again and again by the third wife, she was just silent. The mother still defended her, and said to the third wife with a smile that Jingyi is still a child, very playful, and often bumps into it, so it's not a big deal. For her mother's sake, she had to endure it......
Jing Yi glanced at the bracelet on her hand.
Her mother rebuked her for the bracelet and told her that she should be optimistic; Although Du's mother also felt sorry for the bracelet, she said that her mother made a big fuss, these things were originally fragile, not afraid, and there was more than that, but Xiao Shi was so careless, so I couldn't give it to you......
Jing Yi put the bracelet together and read the letter in her hand again.
Then, she folded the letter and pressed it under the pillow, sat down, and saw Qiu Wei turn around to look at her, she whispered, "Qiu Wei, I have to go out to see him." ”
Qiu Wei hurriedly shook her hands and stumbled over, squatted down and knelt on the ground, and whispered, "Good miss, don't." The old man specially ordered you not to go out, and you want to go again...... And Mrs., she also instructed. You see, Qiao's mother won't talk about it, and Cui Xi has left one eye to stare at our house. In this case, if you don't wait for the front foot to go out, the back foot wife will know. Good miss, don't go out, just endure these few days. ”
Jingyi pursed her lips.
She didn't care about this, and at this time she couldn't wait to pull Dai Mengyuan in front of her father to make it clear. She had to go to see Dai Mengyuan no matter what. It was as if the future was dark, and only there was a ball of light there.
"I'll go out quietly, go and come back quickly. You can rest assured. Jing Yi thought. Dai Mengyuan asked him to meet, and the location had been decided. He was waiting for her there, how could she not go? She never let him down. Since the time was set at noon, she also happened to find a way to sneak out while the family was taking a nap.
Qiu Wei looked at her young lady.
She is obedient to her young lady. Her young lady is her god...... She didn't know what was good about Dai Mengyuan, but it must be good to attract a young lady to be so fascinated. But ...... "What if my wife finds out?" It's even more amazing that the old man knows. She expressed her concerns to the young lady. Even if no one in this family is afraid, the master can't be afraid. What kind of person is that, sir...... When she came home this time, the eldest lady said that the master had already said that in a few days, the young lady's husband would come to the door to formally propose, that is, her young lady would soon get married. The old man even began to oppose the young lady's continued study, so he must be against the young lady's free love...... Free love is a new word for Qiu Wei. She often listened to Miss Biao and the Ninth Young Master talking. Although Miss doesn't say it, Miss and Young Master Dai should also be "free".
Whether freedom is good or not, she can't say it, but her young lady is a little fascinated because of this freedom. It scared and worried her.
Jingyi said: "If you find it, you will find it." I can't listen to my father anyway. ”
Marrying into the Tao family is to enter another deep house compound and repeat a dark road, is she still free? Nope. Besides, if she leaves Dai Mengyuan, she will become rootless grass...... She shook her head firmly.
"I don't marry that man. If you have to get married, I'd rather die. ”
"Miss!" Qiu Wei hugged Jingyi's leg and said in shock: "Don't talk about this dead and alive!" You say, what do you say? How can I help you...... Miss, don't think about this path. ”
"Then I'll have to get out first." Jingyi said. When he went out to see Meng Yuan, he always had an idea. With him here, she doesn't have to be afraid of anything.
"Then what should I do, I see that it is difficult to get out of the door of Xinglu." Qiu Wei said worriedly.
"Let me think about it." Jing Yi pondered.
Xinglu is the residence assigned to the second wife after the Cheng family moved to a new house. In addition to the rules and regulations of the main house of the Du family, the residences of several other side rooms are scattered around the main house, each with a quarter. The Apricot House is the closest to the back garden, and is a little more secluded than the rest. When picking a place to live, Du Shi deliberately said that it would come in order, which meant that the second wife would choose first, and she Xiaowan's family liked Xinglu. Wan Wei chose Xinglu.
Jingyi is also satisfied with her mother's choice. For example, right now, the remoteness of Xinglu has become a strength. Going out from the apricot house is the back garden, if she can find a way to go out of the back corner door smoothly, out of the back alley is the street. It's even better if you can wait at the back door in advance, and get in and out faster...... It's not very difficult to say, but if she wants to do it, she has to go to Zhishen for help.
"I have my own way." Jingyi said, got out of bed, and changed her clothes. It's already three o'clock, and it's time to get up. She pulled out two copies of the magazine "Good Friends" from the shelf and went to his residence.
Her room is facing the water, and there is a large platform outside the door. The largest area in the apricot house is water, and there are apricot trees planted near the water. Although the apricot blossom season has passed, the apricot trees are still covered with trees. In this courtyard, the green shade surrounds the clear water, and the strange rocks surround the rockery, and the scenery is the same step by step, layer by layer...... It's a pity that after she moved in, she didn't have the leisure to walk around. Looking at it at this time, she felt that she had disappointed the beautiful scenery of Xinglu, so she had to take a walk and stop.
If you want to go out of the apricot house, you have to pass through your mother's room, and her steps are heavier.
Wan Wei was in the house, heard footsteps, looked up from the window and saw Jing Yi coming, and asked, "Get up?" ”
"It's early. Is it okay for my mother to take a nap? "Greetings from Jingyi.
"Good. Are you going out? Wan Wei asked.
Jing Yi raised the magazine in her hand and said, "I want to go to Brother Jiu and return his books." ”
"Go ahead." Hearing Jingyi say this, Wan Wei turned around and instructed Cuixi, "Put some of the new fruits and bring some over." Lao Jiu loves to eat fruits. ”
"Brother Jiu, there are no fruits there. I don't want to take this to the past, Brother Jiu will laugh at me. "Jingyi doesn't want to take it.
"What he has is his there, and the fruit is exceptionally fresh today." Wan Wei said with a smile.
"That'...... All right. Qiu Wei, you take it. Jingyi said.
Qiu Wei Lisuo took a large box from Cui Xi and held it in her arms.
"Come back early. It's okay, don't keep bothering Lao Jiu. Now he follows his master to work in the company every day, and he is very tired, not as idle as when he was only studying in the past. Wan Wei instructed.
"Yes." Jingyi said, still walking slowly, and only left the courtyard gate for a while.
Wan Wei held the pen in his hand, looking at the words he wrote, and was full of thick ink, but when he wrote, his hand was a little unable to hold the momentum, and he went out of shape as soon as he went down, so he simply stopped.
Cui Xi knew her heart and said, "Madam, don't bother too much. ”
Wan Wei put down the pen and said softly: "I see that her heart is still calm, and she may be fine in the next few days......"
