Chapter VII
Zhou looked at his son who accidentally cut his hand while chopping vegetables, and looked at the scars on his son's hands, since he came back from the Qixi Festival half a month ago, he was so like this, cutting vegetables can be cut by hand, and the fire will burn himself, even adding water to the water tank can carry water in a daze, his son himself knows, look at his son's hand full of scars, sigh and call his son who is in a daze again!
"Yan'er, you've been absent-minded since you came back from a lost soul that day, what happened to you that day?"
Meng Xingqian smiled and said, "Mother, I'm fine, it's just that I've been reading a little late these days!" ”
"Yan'er, you are born to your mother, what do you think in your heart, you don't know if you are a mother? You've been like this since you came back from the Qixi Festival that day, have you fallen in love with someone's girl? Talk to your mother, if it's suitable, your mother will give you a kiss! ”
Meng Xingqian lowered his head and was silent for a while, as if he had figured out something, and then raised his head for half a month and swept away the haze, his eyes sparkled, and he looked at the mother in front of him: "Mother, I did fall in love with a girl, but I ......"
Seeing his son talking hesitantly, Zhou smiled: "Just what? Could it be that she is the daughter of a big family? Meng Xingqian shook his head
"Then which dignitary is she the pearl in the palm of her hand?" Meng Xingqian still shook his head
Zhou said funny: "What the hell is that?" Don't sell it to your mother! ”
"Mother, she is a Qinglou woman!"
The smile on Zhou's face gradually disappeared and slowly became gloomy, and he stood up and said, "You come over to me!" ”
Meng Xingqian followed her to a small house and walked in, and Zhou stood in front of a tablet and said to him, "Kneel! ”
Meng Xingqian knelt down with a plop, and Zhou opened his mouth to ask him: "What did you promise your father on the day your father died?" ”
Meng Xingqian looked at the middle tablet in front of him and said: "On the day my father died, my father repeatedly told me to take good care of my mother, and said that he had no ability in this life, and asked me to study hard and gain fame and glory in the future!" ”
"Do you remember what your dad said, so how did you study? Went to the Qinglou? I was also fascinated by a Qinglou woman and wanted to marry a Qinglou woman! Are you going to be angry with your mother? Today you promised your father that you would never want this again, and you broke off contact with that woman! Mother knows that you are old, and in a few days, mother will find you an innocent girl! ”
Meng Xingqian knelt and turned around on his knees, looked at the angry mother in front of him and said: "Mother, I'm sorry, I can't guarantee it, although Yuexi was born in the Qinglou, she is a good girl, I didn't know her in the Qinglou, and she never seduced me, I really love her!" ”
After listening to what his son said, Zhou was speechless, his body was shaky as if he would faint immediately, Meng Xingqian was so frightened that he immediately stood up and wanted to support her, but Zhou waved his hand and said: "No need to help, you kneel in front of your father for me to think about it, when you figure it out and when you get up!" After saying that, he went out on crutches!
It's been five days, Zhou looked at his son who had been kneeling in the ancestral hall for five days and didn't eat, drink or accept softness, and wanted to go in and let him get up, but he was afraid of hurting him, so he could only be ruthless! Kneeling without eating or drinking for five days, the people who were beaten with iron couldn't stand it, Meng Xingqi's consciousness became more and more blurred, and finally fainted in front of him!
When Meng Xingqian woke up again, he saw his mother sitting in front of the bed wiping her tears with a handkerchief, and shouted softly: "Mother" Her voice was hoarse, and her throat was stinging like fire!
Seeing that his son woke up, Zhou hurriedly poured a glass of water and fed him to drink, and brought medicine to feed his son one by one, Meng Xingqian wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to say it, Zhou knew what his son wanted to say, and persuaded in a soft voice: "Yan'er, you understand your mother, your mother has worked hard to pull you up, you are like this for a Qinglou woman, if something happens to let your mother live, I will never mention this matter in the future, and in a few days, my mother will go to find a girl from a white family for you, and you will not think about her anymore when you become a parent, and you will be relieved if you marry a daughter-in-law." , study hard, and gain fame in the future! Don't think about anything else."
Meng Xingqian knew that if he obeyed his mother this time, then he and Yuexi would really have no hope, Meng Xingqian struggled to get up and knelt on the bed: "Mother, I don't want anyone else, I just want Yuexi!" Mother, I have listened to you since I was a child, but this time my son begs you to fulfill my son! ”
Zhou smashed the medicine bowl in his hand, the porcelain bowl was shattered, Zhou stood up and said angrily: "Meng Xingqi, do you really want to be angry with me?" There are thousands of innocent girls in the world, peasant girls, small jasper, everyone is beautiful, who do you like is not good, you have to marry a prostitute and go home, how can you let your mother have the face to see your father after a hundred years, how can you have the face to face the ancestors of the Meng family! ”
Meng Xingqian raised her head and watched her grow up with hard work, but her mother in her early forties is now gray, her mother was a well-known beauty when her father was alive, and her father never let her do anything, saying that her mother had wronged her by marrying him, so she had to love her even more, but after her father left, her mother seemed to be a different person overnight, and her mother, who used to love to laugh, rarely smiled, and worked everywhere to earn money to support herself, resulting in her current mother falling ill, but when she thought of marrying someone else and forgetting Yuexi, her heart hurt, It's like having a heart disease!
"Mother, forgive me for being unfilial, I really don't want to marry someone else, although Yuexi was born in a Qinglou, she is a good girl, lively and cute, kind and generous! Mother, my grandfather didn't agree when you wanted to marry my father, but why would you rather elope away from home than be with your father? It's because you really love your father, and he has to be! How do you know that I don't love Yuexi like this? You also experienced the pain that your grandfather had when he hindered you and your father! ”
After Meng Xingqian finished speaking, Zhou looked out the window silently, as if he saw that when he eloped for the person he loved, he ...... Zhou sighed and stood up, looking at his son: "You didn't drink the medicine just now, I'll fry another pair, you haven't eaten for five days, eat the things on the table first!" ”
After finishing speaking, she was about to go out, Meng Xingqian didn't know what her mother thought, and was just about to stop her, when Zhou said again: "There is a chance to bring her back to show me!" Meng Xingqian happily agreed!
On the day of Qixi Festival, Yuexi ran all the way back, just entered the backyard and saw Bingyan and Liuyue sitting together chatting, the stone table was full of things, Liuyue saw her come back and trotted over to take Yuexi's hand, and pulled Yuexi to the table: "Yuexi, look, these are all bought for you, your usual favorite food, and some gadgets are fun, look at this ............"
After talking for a long time, she didn't see Yuexi respond to her, Liuyue raised her head and looked at Yuexi, only to see her brows tightly locked, and her usually bright eyes were also dull at this time, Liuyue hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you, Yuexi?" You were happy before I went out today, why did you come back and look like you were about to cry? Who bullied you? Tell me I'll avenge you! ”
"I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, just go back to the room and rest!" After saying that, he went upstairs
Liuyue looked at Yuexi's back and couldn't figure it out, and looked at Bingyan: "Sister Bingyan, what's wrong with Yuexi?" Bingyan shook his head and said he didn't know! A group of people sat together and chatted for a while before they dispersed, and after they returned to their rooms, Bingyan knocked on Yuexi's door, looked at Yuexi's slightly swollen and red eyes and said, "Crying?" ”
Yuexi shook her head, Bingyan walked into the room, closed the door, sat down and continued: "There is no one else here now, let's talk about it, is it anyone's son?" ”
Yuexi lowered her head and didn't speak, and there was a slight sound of her sobbing, and finally stopped after a long time, and raised her eyes to look at Bingyan: "Mom, I ......" Yuexi wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and after waiting for a while, Yuexi didn't say anything, Bingyan sighed: "Alas~ Yuexi, everyone has a love affair at the beginning, if he doesn't like you, no matter how uncomfortable you are, you will hurt yourself, the most important thing in life is to be happy!" Think about it yourself, you don't have to go to the front these days, give you a few days off, you have a good rest! I'm back! ”
Sending away Bingyan Yuexi lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, thinking of what Meng Xingqian said tonight, and thinking of the way he disliked himself, his heart tingled!
Bingyan came out of Yuexi's room and tidied up the things in the store, fell asleep very late, and was woken up by a knock on the door the next day, put on his clothes and opened the door, Xiyue stood at the door with a nervous face, and hurriedly said when he saw Bingyan come out: "Sister Bingyan, you go and take a look, Yuexi hasn't come out for a day today, I haven't eaten breakfast and lunch, and I won't open the door when I knock!" ”
"Got it, you go first, I'll get dressed and come!" When Bingyan arrived at the door of Yuexi's house, the door was full of people, calling Yuexi gossiping, Bingyan cleared his throat: "Okay, you all go back, Yuexi has something to do these days, and no one is allowed to disturb her!" After hearing this, everyone dispersed, except for Liuyue, Cherish the Moon, Pity the Moon, and Tilt the Moon, and Liuyue asked: "Sister, what's wrong with Yuexi?" It wasn't quite right to come back last night! ”
"It's okay, it's inevitable that the love will be sad at the beginning, go back and let her be quiet by herself!"
Three days later, Yuexi's door finally opened, and Xiyue, who lived directly opposite her, was the first to find that her door was open, and hurriedly ran out to see how she was, three days later, it turned out that the white and pure, delicate and delicate Yuexi was only three days old, with yellow muscles and thin muscles, deep eye sockets, and messy hair like a chicken nest. It's only been three days, how did you end up like this? ”
Yuexi said that it was okay, walked to Bingyan's room, knocked on the door and said "Come in", Yuexi opened the door and walked in, Bingyan was also startled when she saw Yuexi like this, but she didn't say anything, just said: "Figured it out?" ”
Yuexi nodded: "Since he dislikes me, I don't need to hurt myself for him!" ”
"It's good to figure it out, you have a good rest for a few days, you have locked yourself in the room for the past few days and can't come out, but they are in a hurry, you go and talk to them!"
Yuexi went to see the four Oiran, and was inevitably nagged by them, but at this time, Yuexi suddenly felt that this kind of nagging was really good!
