Chapter 3 Homesickness
For today's "robber incident", Luo Xia and the two little girls were called over by the old lady Yue, and they were reprimanded harshly, and then brought back Yue Qianqiu, who had eaten at the old lady's. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
As soon as they returned to the Qingfen Pavilion to the west of Heming Xuan, the two little girls who were cautious outside were relieved.
Luoxia is still preoccupied. She waited for Yue Qianqiu to wash up, waited for her to change her clothes, and after she made the bed for her, she waited for someone to lie down, and when she went to put the tent with one hand, she suddenly felt that her sleeve was being pulled.
She reluctantly looked back and smiled: "It's so late, Childe still doesn't want to sleep?" ”
"You're getting married, but I don't think you're happy?"
Luo Xia didn't expect Yue Qianqiu to ask this, and it took a long time to squeeze out a smile: "Why did Childe ask this ......?"
"How much bride price is your godmother going to exchange for you?"
At this moment, Luoxia's face suddenly turned pale. She looked back in trepidation, and saw that there was no third person in this room, remembering that Yue Qianqiu had set a strange rule before and not allowing a third person besides her to enter the house, she breathed a sigh of relief, and asked with some trepidation: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"There are a total of eight girls who are released to marry this time, four of which are in the house, I heard that either someone above has given them a good candidate, or the father and sister-in-law have already selected someone for them. The other two are ten-year living deeds, and when they leave the gate of the Yue family, they will not be slaves in the future. ”
Yue Qianqiu let go of his hand and said seriously, "Only you and the other one were bought in a death contract when they were children, and they both recognized a godmother after entering the mansion." I heard that the girl's godmother hired her to a pharmacy manager who had a dead daughter-in-law as a filler, and when she entered, she became a stepmother, and she received fifteen yuan as a dowry. Your godmother Xiang mother has also been to Qingfen Pavilion a few times, she is snarky and arrogant, she should have a bigger appetite, right? ”
Luo Xia finally couldn't help but sit on the edge of the bed, her teeth creaking and fighting. It took a long time for her to say in a hoarse voice that didn't seem to belong to her, "She promised me to the son of the housekeeper." ”
"That one who drinks and gambles all day long and beats his daughter-in-law, doesn't even have a serious job, and becomes a widower in less than a year after getting married twice?"
Yue Qianqiu sighed, thinking that it was really nothing new, and then said lightly, "Did she tell you that as long as you tell me about someone asking me about me on the back street, and take me to the back door to meet that Ding Youcai, she will find you another good family?" ”
"You...... How do you know! Luo Xia's beautiful face almost seemed to have seen a ghost, and she almost didn't scream.
Yue Qianqiu sat up, shrugged his shoulders lightly and said, "I guess." ”
I haven't guessed that someone in the house said that if you trick me into going to the back door, I will accept you as a little wife in the future......
Looking at Luo Xia's very attractive face, he said word by word: "You have to be willing to put a flower on the cow dung in the future, just as if I didn't say anything." If there are other plans, then say so. The godmother is not a mother, and she can't control you for a lifetime. ”
Hearing this last sentence, Luo Xia finally couldn't hold back any longer, and suddenly bowed down and cried bitterly. After crying, she finally realized her situation and hurriedly wiped away her tears.
Although she has been following Yue Qianqiu for three years, and she is the only one who can serve her, she has never seen through this young ninth prince.
Yue Qianqiu likes to be in a daze and doesn't like to talk, but whenever she speaks, she often amuses them, even the old lady, or is dumbfounded. It's like this farce at the back door today, from the experience to the ending, it was unexpected. But what scared her the most was that the ninth prince sometimes didn't look like a child at all!
After thinking about it for a long time, she resolutely said: "Childe, I know that the sin deserves death, but the godmother said, nine times out of ten it is really your own uncle, I was relieved, I thought I was just letting you meet, but I didn't expect her to have such intentions...... If you want to fight or sell, I will dispose of it, and I deserve it both horizontally and vertically. ”
"As for marriage, I'd rather die than marry the rotten guy who beat my daughter-in-law, and when I pass through the door, I carry scissors, it's a big deal to die together!"
Hearing this, Yue Qianqiu yawned again, and then said lightly: "I won't pursue today's matter, but there will be no next time." I don't need you to live or die, I just want to keep you for another two years, and you won't blame me, right? ”
Luo Xia knew how heavy her crime of colluding with outsiders was to sell the owner, and it was in the hands of other people in this mansion, and it was light to beat her and sell it, and it was not too heavy to kill her, but Yue Qianqiu actually spared her lightly and skillfully this time, and didn't even mention how to deal with herself, but only said that she would stay for another two years. At that moment, the tears that she had just easily stopped burst out of her eyes again, and she quickly kowtowed two more heads.
"I am willing to serve my son for the rest of my life!"
"A life is too long, it's good to have a good day." Yue Qianqiu got into the quilt, and turned over to leave Luoxia with a back.
He didn't plan to care who Luoxia let out to marry. Since she had never relied on him before, and had never said half a word of help to him, why should he meddle?
He has been in Yuefu for seven years, and although the brothers and sisters of the same generation before him are not close, they are at least passable on face, and the subordinates will not show some thoughts on their faces.
But now people are naked envy, jealousy and hatred, and the elders and peers are deliberately estranged, and there is today's farce.
Of course, he wouldn't hate the old man who said that he was an adopted son. Bringing a child home with no relatives and no reason and raising it as if it were a grandson is already a great kindness.
However, Xiang's mother, who stabbed her in the back, is different! So, he needs Luoxia to light a fire.
As the night deepened, Luoxia slept on the floor in front of the bed as usual. Hearing that there was no uniform breathing sound on the bed that she had heard before, and knowing that Yue Qianqiu was not asleep, she forgot that this ninth prince had never talked much with the girl, and suddenly asked: "Ninth prince, how do you know that Ding Youcai is not your uncle today?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Luoxia regretted it. It's not a good question, and it's not a question she's supposed to ask. But what she didn't expect was that Yue Qianqiu actually answered.
Yue Qianqiu didn't turn over, but his eyes looked at the tent of the ink cordyceps: "Grandpa said that when he brought me back, he weighed only four or five pounds at most, and he was born for about a few months, and he couldn't even speak, how do you know what his name used to be?" That Ding Youcai didn't even think about this, and as soon as he came up, he yelled at me what Singhal, and expected me to believe him? ”
He still didn't say a word about the terrible fire escape.
Luo Xia couldn't help but be amused by Yue Qianqiu: "You must have heard it wrong, how can someone in the world be called Singel." ”
"Why not? The book says that far, far to the west, there is a lake called Lop Nur that was once magnificent, but later dried up and became a desert. There was a small oasis in the middle of this desert, and the only place where there was a spring, and later a post was built called Singel. Legend has it that these three words in another language mean majestic, masculine......"
Yue Qianqiu couldn't help but tell the story of another world, in a dreamlike tone.
Singhal was the one he had chosen to visit when he was a soldier after losing his father in his previous life.
He didn't say anything about nuclear explosions, didn't say about honor, didn't say about perseverance, and didn't say that the seven soldiers walked more than 8,000 miles, cut off water and food, and were on the verge of despair, but found the legend of two springs, one salty and one sweet.
But when he arrived at the outpost, he heard the "Warrior and the Spring" sung by a little soldier, and even though he had completely forgotten the lyrics, he still couldn't help humming the tune softly.
Listening to this strange tune that she had never heard before, and looking at the eyes reflected outside the window, Luo Xia only felt that her eyelids were gradually drooping, and while sleepiness gradually appeared, she couldn't help but have a strange feeling.
Could it be that the ninth prince is homesick? Could it be that his home is from that Lop Nur, Singall? However, the ninth prince was carried into the house by the old lady at such a young age, and he didn't even remember his name......
After humming the little song that was not famous, Yue Qianqiu on the bed only felt that his eyes were sour, and he couldn't help muttering: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed, suspected to be frost on the ground, raise your head to look at the bright moon, and bow your head to think of your hometown." ”
A silent night thought, full of homesickness. Compared with those wanderers who still have a day to return home, he has long since returned to his home.
After three years of reading a lot of books in Hemingxuan, he didn't need to think about his hometown anymore, he should think of himself as a person here.
Don't mention anything, the old lady is old, he has to repay that nurturing grace, right?
Luo Xia chewed on just over twenty words, and at that moment, she felt as if she understood why Jiu Gongzi was open to herself.
In this huge Yue Province, they are all strangers. Didn't she forget her home, her parents?
