Chapter 2: Mother Zhou
"Why? Whee? ”
Lying on the bed with his head covered by a futon, the boy heard a gentle female voice beside him.
But he didn't know how to respond.
"If I pretend to be asleep, will I be able to fool myself around?"
Just as the boy was pondering whether it was feasible, he heard a snort, and most of the futon he was covering was lifted.
He subconsciously glanced at it, and saw a beautiful woman with angry eyes sitting on a stool next to the couch.
The four eyes met, and the boy and the beautiful woman looked directly at each other.
"Huh?"
Perhaps sensing something, a little surprise appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes, and in an instant, this surprise seemed to turn into concern, worry, and anxiety.
"Sit up." She whispered in a somewhat commanding tone.
"......" was forced by the other party's inexplicable deterrence, and the young man hesitated to sit up on the bed.
During this time, he secretly looked at the face of the beautiful woman in front of him.
This beautiful woman, who is suspected of being 'his' mother, is dressed in a dark indigo dress, her hair is combed into a bun, and a hairpin is inserted in the bun, and her age is about twenty-six or seventeen, which is very young.
On the beautiful and fair face, the pair of beautiful eyes were looking directly at him with confusion, and the young man felt a flustered and uneasy feeling in his heart for no reason.
After a moment of silence, the woman frowned and muttered, "When the concubine heard the announcement, she thought you were ...... little cub again" Speaking of this, she paused, looked at the young man and asked, "Do you know who the concubine is?" ”
"It's supposed to be 'his' mother, right?"
The young man thought in his heart, but in view of the truth of saying less and making fewer mistakes, he hesitated for a long time, and finally did not respond.
At this time, a crisp and anxious voice sounded in the room: "Madam, is the young master really ......?"
The boy glanced in the direction from which the voice came, and only then did he notice that next to what appeared to be his mother, there was a young girl of his age, presumably his mother's maid or something.
"Well, it's pretty good."
After glancing at the girl's appearance twice, the young man secretly commented in his heart.
At this time, the beautiful woman raised her hand to interrupt the girl's words, and the beautiful eyes looked directly at the young man and frowned and asked, "Yu'er, are you really ...... Don't recognize you as a mother? ”
"Sure enough."
The young man thought to himself, but he still didn't dare to let his guard down, after all, he didn't know the relationship between the original owner of his body and the beautiful woman in front of him - who said that biological mother and child must love each other?
"Hmm......"
Whispering and vaguely in response, the boy looked away slightly.
Then, there was a moment of silence, and just when the young man was uneasy and wanted to peek at the beautiful woman's reaction, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the beautiful woman reaching out and knocking on the door of his head, neither lightly nor seriously.
The young man subconsciously covered his head, looked at the beautiful woman beside him with some astonishment, but saw the latter's phoenix eyes full of anger, and said angrily: "Dead boy, I almost died for my mother to give birth to you, you can even forget about your mother today, and you will kill you as an unfilial son for your mother!" ”
After that, she made a gesture to fight, but was stopped by the girl beside her, who pleaded again and again for comfort: "Madame is angry, Madame is angry." ”
The beautiful woman was still angry, glared at the young man and shouted, "Do you recognize your mother now?" ”
“……”
The young man couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything on his face, and nodded slowly after hesitating for a while.
He felt that the mother might have relented, but the knock on his head just now still hurt strangely.
"Do you really recognize you?"
The beautiful woman squinted her eyes and asked, "Then what should you call a concubine?" ”
The young man hesitated for a long time, and then when the beautiful woman raised her right hand, he finally gave in and called out in a curtive voice: "Mother, mother? ”
"......" The beautiful woman frowned, and did not seem satisfied.
But she didn't have another seizure, but moved to the couch, stretched out her hand to hug the young man, and sighed faintly: "Concubine child who is hard-working, you are too stubborn on weekdays, and you don't listen to what your mother says, so you will suffer this disaster...... I just heard the bad news, and I was so scared that my soul was about to be lost, but fortunately, my son was safe and sound......"
Speaking of this, she paused, obviously she also felt that her son's current situation really could not be called safe and sound.
"My son, don't you really remember being a mother?" She asked, a little worried.
Looking at the beautiful woman's face with love, the boy had no doubt about her love for his son, but he didn't know how to answer.
What can he say?
Can he say, Auntie, I'm not your son, I'm just a stranger who came here somehow and somehow?
Or pretend to be the other person's son?
Come on, it's better to say less and keep silent, so as not to say too much and make too many mistakes.
Although it is bloody, pretending to be amnesia at this time is indeed the most suitable and stable.
As if noticing her son's wooden look, the beautiful woman sighed faintly, and said with a strong spirit: "I heard that my son accidentally fell from the tree just now, maybe he was frightened at that time...... Yu'er, you remember, your name is Zhao Yu, you are the second son of the Marquis of Luyang Township, and the second son of Wei Niang......"
As she spoke, she took the young man's hand and wrote the word Zhao Yu in his palm.
"Zhao Yu?"
Young man, no, Zhao Yu muttered.
He is no stranger to this name, after all, he also called it in his previous life.
Seeing that the son who was suspected of amnesia accepted his identity without rejection, the beautiful woman's frowning eyebrows finally stretched slightly, she hugged her son and said gently: "Son, no matter who you forget, you can't forget to be a mother, when you were born, you suffered enough for your mother, and almost lost your life, if you don't grow up in the future, if you don't be filial to your mother, you will never spare you for your mother......"
"When you gave birth to me?" Zhao Yu had confusion on his face.
His confusion seemed to hit the itching part of the beautiful woman's heart, she nodded with a smile, and explained: "You have a brother named Zhao Yin, you two should have been born together in Yin, but after giving birth to your brother, you dead boy refused to be born for a long time, and your mother's life was almost tossed by you......"
Zhao Yu's face showed an embarrassed and concerned look, after all, he also knew what kind of consequences a woman would have in ancient times once she had a difficult birth, just like the mother in front of him said, almost dying was definitely not empty words.
"Well, what about later?" He asked curiously.
"Later, ah, ......" Holding her son, the beautiful woman recalled with a smile: "At that time, the people in the house thought that my son was going to die before he was born...... According to him, you can only be born after the sunset. ”
"......" Zhao Yu listened with a strange expression on his face.
"Sounds ridiculous, right?" As if she had guessed Zhao Yu's thoughts, the beautiful woman chuckled and said: "At that time, many people didn't believe it, but my mother felt sorry for you, how could my mother let my baby die unfortunately before she was born?" Even if there is only a glimmer of life, you have to give it a try. So according to the instructions of the old man, I fought for my mother, and endured you until dusk...... Guess what, as soon as the sun went down, you were really born......"
After that, she hugged her son again, and said with a little pride: "If you are not a mother, there will be no you, you will have to be filial to your mother when you grow up in the future, you know?" ”
Hearing the beautiful woman's words, Zhao Yu didn't know how to evaluate it.
I have to say that the story told by his mother, especially the description of the wandering Fangshi, sounded very absurd to him, but when he heard that the mother in front of him was pregnant with him and insisted on it until dusk, Zhao Yu couldn't help but be in awe.
The woman is weak, the mother is strong, and the beautiful and young woman in front of her is a respectable and great mother.
"Well, the child will definitely be filial to his mother in the future."
Following his mother's words, Zhao Yu coaxed the mother in front of him with a serious expression.
The beautiful woman was stunned, and then smiled and hugged her son in her arms: "Good child, good mother ......"
Subsequently, the mother and son chatted for a while, in fact, the main thing was that the beautiful woman told her poor son who had lost her memory about the past, hoping to arouse her son's memory, but unfortunately, she failed to do so.
And through the communication with this mother, Zhao Yu gradually understood some things.
For example, his mother's surname is Zhou, called Zhou, and she is the main room of his father, Zhao Jing, the Marquis of Luyang Township, and has given birth to two sons so far, one is his brother Zhao Yin, and the other is him, Zhao Yu.
Another example is Zhou's call for his 'Yu'er', Zhao Yu originally thought there was some mystery, but later learned that it was actually the more elegant name of 'Tiger Head'.
It was probably because he had a difficult birth when he was born, which almost cost Zhou's life, and what did the strange-sounding wandering monk say to the couple, so that Zhou gave him the nickname 'Yu'er', hoping that his youngest son could grow up strongly.
That night, Zhao Yu lay on the bed in his room to sort out his thoughts.
He didn't know why he came to this era inexplicably and replaced the original 'Zhao Yu', but his mother Zhou's love and concern for him still made him feel a strong sense of care from his family.
Overall, not the worst.
