Chapter 217: Heaven
It's dark at night.
Jiao Xing was lying on the spring bench in the living room of the East Wing, but she couldn't sleep well over and over.
Because as soon as she closed her eyes, when she spoke in the living room in the afternoon, her father's humble and urgent appearance would immediately come to mind.
Chen Qi came this time, naturally because he wanted to take on the errand of the farm's account.
After all, it is only the monthly silver of the head of the village, which can be worth half a year's income of the Chen family, not to mention that after selling the fruits and vegetables in the greenhouse every year, the owner will also reward an extremely generous dividend according to the profit of the year.
The so-called wealth is moving.
It is no wonder that the father is so impatient, and even does not hesitate to bow his head and humbly turn to his 'unfilial' daughter.
At that moment, Jiao Xing's heart could really be said to be mixed.
Like all little girls, when she was young, she used to be in awe of her father, who spoke at home, as if he were 'heaven'.
But as I grew older, I found that the 'sky' who always held his head high at home always humbled his back in front of outsiders.
A wealthy merchant who provides goods, a customer who patronizes business, a messenger in the yamen, a servant of an official eunuch, and even a shrew who has three maiden brothers and four sons at the mouth of the hutong......
It seems that anyone can easily step on this piece of heaven under their feet, but this piece of heaven is just silently endured, and then the accumulated resentment will turn into wind frost and snow rain, pouring on his wife and daughter who are covered by him.
So some emotions began to grow slowly.
Disappointment, contempt, confrontation.
The estrangement between father and daughter is getting deeper and deeper, and it has gradually become a 'grudge'.
So much so that when she secretly hung her resume to the tooth store without telling her parents, Jiao Xing imagined more than once what kind of mood she would feel when she also stepped on this 'sky' under her feet.
At that time, most of what I thought of was the most vivid and comfortable and the joy of seeing the sun.
But when this scene appeared in front of her, Jiao Xing found that the strongest and strongest in her heart was the bitterness that had nowhere to vent.
Not only did she not have the joy of victory at all, but she did not dare or want people to see her father's flattering appearance in front of her.
And after sending his father and younger brother away, he couldn't help but feel lost.
This afternoon.
has covered Jiao Xing for more than ten years, and has not been trampled under her feet.
It's a complete collapse.
The collapse was so smooth, but it caught people off guard.
At the same time, Jiao Xing's heart seems to have collapsed, no matter how she blocks it, she is still not satisfied.
Alas~
In the dark, she sighed silently, silently tightening her quilt, wrapping her body and her empty heart.
Bang, bang, bang~
At this moment, a few dull slamming sounds broke the silence of the night.
Jiao Xing was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly sat up, pulled her coat indiscriminately, and pushed the door to the courtyard while draping it.
"Who? Who's out there. ”
The probe shouted outward, and soon arrived an impatient response:
"It's me."
"Is the master back?!"
Hearing that it was exactly the same as she guessed, Jiao Xing's mood immediately became cheerful, and she hurried to the door with embroidered shoes, muttering while removing the latch of the door: "Didn't the master say that he had an errand and wanted to stay in the yamen, why did he come back at this time?" ”
"The errand has been postponed."
Wang Shouye replied casually, walked into the courtyard, and casually scolded: "These things are also what you can inquire about?" ”
"Slaves don't dare!"
Jiao Xing ate his scolding, and the remaining bit of sentimentality in her heart disappeared without a trace, and she hurriedly lowered her head and neck, and followed behind.
Wang Shouye walked into the courtyard and saw that it was pitch black in the east chamber, so he frowned and asked, "Is the red jade better today?" ”
"My aunt is still a little mentally weak."
Speaking of this, Jiao Xing hesitated for a moment, and then added: "If it weren't for that, most of my aunt would still be thinking about you, master, and she wouldn't have slept." ”
These words made Wang Shouye look at her twice.
In the past, Jiao Xing was only superficially obedient to Zhao Hongyu, but secretly she was eager to replace her, and it was the first time that she took the initiative to say good things for Hongyu like this.
After a little hesitation, Wang Shouye raised his chin at the West Chamber, which was also blinded by the black light: "Go, clean up the West Chamber, let's get together for the night in the West Chamber." ”
Hearing the word 'we', Jiao Xing couldn't help but smile happily, and secretly said that although her father didn't have any great skills, he still had some insight in this area.
What's the use of being jealous with Aunt Zhao?
Not to mention whether it will annoy the old man, even if he can really overshadow Aunt Zhao, can he still be the master of the house?
The side is full of details, and while the eldest woman has not passed the door, trying to give birth to a son and a half daughter is the top priority!
The west chamber was simply tidied up, and the already warm bedding was all moved.
Kneeling in front of the bed and holding the master's two big feet in the palm of his hand, he felt that his heart was incomparably full, as if he was holding the future.
While scrubbing the water, she couldn't help but look up, but saw that the old man was closing his eyes and groaning, the black face of the Chinese character was not handsome, but it showed a rare stability and maturity in the same age.
And that tall and burly figure, in the eyes of the looking up Jiao Xing, is like a majestic mountain at the same time.
No!
Not mountains.
It's God!
The lord is the real sky, and it is the sky that Jiao Xing will never be able to pass by.
And this piece of heaven not only covers the small home, but also covers many people.
So she doesn't need to go to the sky, she just needs to be closer to the sky, which is enough to trample a lot of people under her feet.
And as long as there is a little rain and dew on this day, she can grow into a green pine and cypress that covers every house.
"Master~"
My heart was stirring, and I couldn't help but scream.
"Huh?"
Wang Shouye lowered his head suspiciously, met her eyes that were almost dripping water, raised his eyebrows and said, "Something?" ”
"I ......"
It's just a momentary can't help it, so what do you have to say?
Looking at each other, Jiao Xing was dumbfounded for a long time, seeing that Wang Shouye showed some impatience, then she remembered to prevaricate about her father: "It's my father, he came to the house this afternoon, and wants to deal with the ...... in Zhuangzi."
"That's it?"
Wang Shouye only listened to half of it, and said disapprerovitically: "Ming'er asked him to come again, and ask Hongyu to help draw up the deed." ”
In fact, Wang Shouye still cares more about this Zhuangzi, after all, this is the fattest industry under the name of the Hu family, and it is also the most eye-catching thing.
If it weren't for Bai Changqi's concerns, I'm afraid it wouldn't be his turn.
But who is impatient to discuss these trivial matters at the moment?
He raised his feet, rubbed the foot-washing water on her skirt, and commanded undoubtedly: "Last time, your method was still a little rusty, so you might as well practice it again today." ”
Jiao Xing's face turned red, and she subconsciously pursed her lips, and then stretched out her hand to Wang Shouye's waist......
