Chapter Seventy-Eight: No Home
Walking all the way, Liu Mingzhi, who had been hiccuping all the way, returned to the study, and the maid Ying'er was carefully making the bed: "Ah, young master, have you finished breakfast?" ”
Liu Mingzhi suddenly found that Ying'er was standing there with a sense of shadow, rubbed his eyes, and looked carefully to see that there was indeed only one person, and he had made up for all the phantoms. This is really going to practice the trumpet, make up for people to death, fifty years of ginseng soup, twenty years of soft-shelled turtle soup, several big waists, thinking of these things that Liu Mingzhi just ate Liu Mingzhi felt uncomfortable for a while.
"Ahh Master, you have a nosebleed. ”
Liu Mingzhi, who was thinking about taking off his outer robe, subconsciously touched it: "I have a nosebleed, is it so supplemented?" "When I saw that my hand was really red, my nosebleed stained my right hand red.
Ying'er took out a handkerchief to help the young master wipe the bloodstains, and her small and delicate body carefully wiped off the bloodstains with her feet.
Ying'er took a towel and wrung it out on Liu Mingzhi's face with cold water, and the coolness gradually stopped the heat in her body: "Young master, isn't it okay to apply two basins of water to this cold compress?" ”
Liu Mingzhi touched his face, it didn't seem to be so hot: "Ying'er, let you cover my face with water, you all sprinkled it on my body, and the wet clothes are very uncomfortable on my body." After saying that, he twisted and twisted.
"Young master, who let you twist and twist so dishonestly, Ying'er is so steady, it's strange, the clothes on the table are all water traces, Ying'er doesn't want to, I've been twisting the towel for so long, my hands are unconscious, and I can't blame Ying'er for sprinkling a little water."
Ying'er looked aggrieved, Liu Mingzhi didn't know what to say: "Don't blame you, don't blame you, it's not that my mother made a ghost idea, not to say that the young master I lost weight in Yangzhou, this is also made up, fifty years of wild ginseng, the young master's body is hot, and it is as uncomfortable as scratching his heart with a hundred claws." ”
Ying'er couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the young master's appearance as if he had undergone the ten tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty: "Young master, you are really in the blessing and don't know the blessing, others don't have a chance to drink if they want to, young master, you are still full of reluctance, young master, you better go and change your clothes first, so as not to catch a cold." ”
Liu Mingzhi nodded in hindsight: "Yes, yes, yes, change your clothes first, so as not to feel.... It's not good to get cold, Ying'er, change my clothes for the young master. ”
Ying'er's face was ugly: "But Ying'er has never helped the young master change his clothes, Ying'er is afraid that it will be messed up, so the young master will wear it himself, and Ying'er will retire." ”。
"Come and change my clothes for me, it's really cold, it's you who is busy waiting for the young master."
Ying'er reluctantly turned around, pouted and took off her wet clothes for Liu Dashao one by one.
"Ying'er, if you are idle and bored...... Phew, is it okay for the young master to take you to see the goldfish. ”
"No, I don't."
"It's interesting, come on.........."
"Young master, these fish are really happy to eat, you see they all jumped out of the water."
Liu Dashao picked up the teacup and plucked the tea leaves, looking at the cheering Ying'er with a comfortable look.
"Of course, this is the bait that the young master has carefully concocted with the recipe of seventy-seven forty-nine, even if it is thousands of years later, schools of fish are crazy about it, not to mention these indigenous goldfish who have never seen the world, they can be properly handled."
Ying'er slapped the bait in her palm, held the corner of her clothes and lay on the fence to watch the goldfish swim around in the water: "Young master, why are you so good to Ying'er." ”
"Of course, you are the young master's personal maid, of course the young master is good to you, I can't treat the old man's maid Ping'er, the old man can't kill me."
"The young master is the whole Jiangnan... No, the best young master in the world. ”
Liu Mingzhi put down the teacup and carefully wiped the tears from the corners of Ying'er's eyes: "Silly girl, why are you crying?" The young master didn't bully you when he turned back. ”
Ying'er couldn't help crying bitterly: "Young master, Ying'er misses her father and mother, and misses her brother and brother." ”
patted Ying'er on the shoulder, and Liu Mingzhi also sighed: "Are your parents still alive?" The young master will take you to find them, don't cry, don't cry. ”
"I can't find it, Ying'er doesn't know where her father and mother are? I haven't seen them in six years and never heard from them. ”
Liu Mingzhi's expression moved, and he faintly thought of why, there are two kinds of servants of the Liu family, one is the kind of subordinate who makes money in Liufu for a living, and the other is the subordinate who sold himself into Liufu, and the person who was born in Liufu is the ghost of Liufu and died.
"You were sold to Liufu by your parents?"
"Yes."
"Do you know where your home is? What is the name of the village? ”
"There is a long river in front of Ying'er's house, where is very beautiful, every day at the moment of sunrise, the whole river is reflected red, but it is also very poor, the poor can not eat, can not wear clothes, my father's clothes passed to the eldest brother, the eldest brother's clothes passed to me, I wore it and then gave it to my younger brother, a dress sewn and mended for three or four years, my home is a thatched house by the river, every time the wind blows the roof is always blown out, at that time it was very cold, hungry and cold, Ying'er clearly remembered that the mother's hands were frozen and cracked. The little friends around us never play with our brothers and sisters, because we can't get snacks to share with them, Ying'er opens her eyes every day to spread a net with her father's eldest brother, and her younger brother follows his mother to pick wild vegetables for a living. ”
Alas, no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, this saying is always so popular, and this world is always so realistic.
"The eldest brother and the younger brother have followed their father into the city to sell fish, and every time they come back, they tell Ying'er how the city is doing, Ying'er is very envious, Ying'er also wants to go to the city to see, see the people who come and go according to the eldest brother, and see the life of the flowers, but Ying'er has been envious for three years, and the eldest brother has also talked for three years, Ying'er dreams of seeing what the city is like, until Ying'er was ten years old, her father and mother don't know why they quarreled, Ying'er was very scared, because her father was always angry and always loved to beat Ying'er out of anger, but that time there was no, Daddy didn't beat Ying'er, but also ate a lot of delicious food with Ying'er, and Ying'er ate so full for the first time since she can remember. ”
Liu Mingzhi guessed that the reason for the quarrel was the question of whether to sell Ying'er or not.
Ying'er was very happy, her father was finally willing to take Ying'er into the city, along the way Ying'er was imagining what the city was like, whether it was the same as what Ying'er dreamed of, it turned out that life in the city was better than Ying'er's dream, wearing colorful clothes, eating all kinds of snacks, holding all kinds of toys, Ying'er found out at that time that the world was not only thatched houses, broken fishing boats, patched old clothes, but also many big houses, big carriages, big cities that Ying'er had never seen, Ying'er really wants to stay here forever, even if it's just to see. ”
"Daddy, take me to the back of a big house, the house is really big, the courtyard wall is endless, Daddy told me that he wants to go out to do something, first arrange Ying'er in a relative's house, Liufu is really big, Ying'er is wearing the same flower clothes as others, eating meals that have never been eaten, although Steward Liu often beats Ying'er's palms, but he makes Ying'er eat and dress warmly, when Daddy beats and scolds Ying'er, Ying'er can't eat all day, Ying'er thought at that time, Daddy must do things for a long time, That way I can eat more good food. ”
Liu Mingzhi's eyes were also a little sour, and the wind in Liufu was a little noisy.
"But it's been too long, it's been six years to do this thing, Ying'er has eaten good things for six years, but Ying'er is homesick, young master, Ying'er is homesick. Liufu is so big and there are so many houses, but there is no father and mother here, no home. ”
