CHAPTER IX
Cai Qing stood there motionless with his neck bent, pouting and saying, "The slave maid was hit yesterday and the board is still hurting!" Sister Caisu said that if there is a second time, I will be sent to the village Zhuangzi, and I will not be able to enter the house for the rest of my life. Miss, you can't hurt me! ”
"What's the matter, I don't trust your young lady at all, but I have serious things to do?" Of course, in addition to the serious things, I still want to take the opportunity to listen to the sound of the piano that I have been thinking about for a long time.
Cai Qing stood in place, his neck stiffer than iron.
I took her hand and whispered to her, "Qingqing, don't worry, I promise, I will come back when the two incense sticks are burned, my mother will go out this time, I can't come back in three or four hours, Yuxiu Pavilion has a lot of things, and the second aunt doesn't have time to come back, you rely on me, let's go back quickly." If you are hesitating, you may not just bump into your mother's return. ”
Cai Qing couldn't resist me, and he went out slowly for a long time.
As soon as Cai Qing left, I changed into a crescent-colored men's clothes, I can't guarantee that I can have a chance encounter with Lian Gongzi today, he wears white, I wear crescent moon, and I look at the couple's shirt from a distance, when I think of this, I feel that floating! How beautiful Sensei is!
When I went, the bustard mother of the soft fragrance pavilion was crossing her waist to train the girl, I was standing far away, the bustard mother stared at the round eyes, gritted the root of her teeth, spittled stars flying all over the sky, the training was not enjoyable, and from time to time she twisted the girl, the long red nails pinched a quasi, and I felt pain all over my body.
I smacked my lips and said to Cai Qing, "Look at that fierce god, it doesn't look like the blue-faced Hades sung in the play!" ”
While we were discussing, a turtle boy suddenly ran to the bustard's mother's side, whispered a few words in his ear, and the bustard's mother's anger disappeared instantly, and she impatiently asked the girl to leave, and when she turned around, she greeted us with a smile.
"Oops! Why did Ye Gongzi come so early, the girls are still resting! ”
I gave her the silver and said with a smile, "I don't want other girls, you can talk about rain poems, please come, this point will wake up." ”
Mother Bustard's face changed suddenly, she quickly looked left and right, and saw that no one was looking, so she laughed dryly again, and said in a low voice, "Ye Gongzi come with me, Mom, I have something important to tell me." ”
I nodded and followed her upstairs, into the inner room, Cai Qing waited outside the door, after entering the house, the bustard's mother suddenly sighed, her face was sallow, she covered her chest and said to me in a lost way, "Ye Gongzi, Yushi, she left with her lover!" ”
"Beloved! How is this possible! "I have known Yushi for more than ten years, and she has never mentioned anything to me!
"It's true! Yushi suddenly ran to the house last night and begged me, saying that her crush had returned, but she was afraid that she would be affected by the only remaining blood in the clan after she left, so she came to beg me to help her. Although I am the bustard's mother of Soft Xiangge, I have been with Yushi for so many years, and I have long regarded her as my biological daughter. I'm not afraid to tell you, I was going to hand over this soft incense pavilion to Yushi to take care of when I was old, she begged me at first, I didn't agree to her, I was angry and annoyed, but she knelt down and begged me all night, and took out all her savings, poor thing, for that beloved, her head was broken. Mom, I felt distressed, thinking that she had made up her mind anyway, and it would only be counterproductive to force her to stay, so I allowed her to redeem her son and leave quietly. ”
I looked at the bustard mother quietly, sat indifferently without saying a word.
The bustard's mother grabbed a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Ye Gongzi, don't look at me like this, it's scary, Mom, I swear to God, there is no adulteration in this sentence, if there is a lie, Mom, I ........"
"Okay, Yushi has a special identity, not like the girl in your pavilion, just leave, if the official family knows that you have released the daughter of a criminal minister, the head on your neck will definitely fall off."
"The prince didn't know that the official family sent people to the alley, on the surface, it was the emperor's grace and left a trace of blood for the Wen family, but in fact, they were left to fend for themselves. As long as my mother and I insist that Yushi died of illness, she died of illness, and the official family did not have the leisure to go to the chaotic hill to find it. Ye Gongzi, since I have the heart to let the rain poems go, I naturally have a complete strategy, you can rest assured! ”
The bustard's mother turned around and walked into the house and put a letter in front of me, "Yushi said that you will definitely come to her in the future, and I am afraid that you will not believe it, so I left a letter for you!" ”
The envelope was written on it, and when I saw the familiar handwriting, my heartstrings that were tightly constricted slowly relaxed. I carefully placed the letter in my bosom, and my lost heart gradually warmed up.
"Mother Zhang."
"You say!"
I turned my eyes to look at the bustard's mother, and said with an indifferent smile, "I believe you today about Yushi, if I find out that there is a false ........................ in your words in the future."
"Mom, I took the initiative to come to see my son, and life and death are at your disposal!"
I nodded, walked out of the door, and the moment I passed by the Flower Pavilion, I seemed to faintly hear the sound of the piano again, and I stopped for a moment before leaving.
Back in the house, I nestled alone in the corner of the bed, opened the envelope, and the familiar handwriting broke into my eyes, as if the rain poem had returned to me.
"Zhen Zhen opened it in person, and I saw it as if I was in the letter. For the beloved, miss each other for many years. I don't give up on my husband, and I can't bear it. The bustard's mother's kindness is given to the way of life. Say goodbye today. To your best friend, the same for life. Be relieved, and do not be anxious. The matter of Liangong is very good. The family background is not on the board, and you think about it three times. Words are not enough, and then pray for cherishment. Rain poems are hereby revealed. ”
I let out a long sigh, "Usually it's always my sister and sister's call, but now I know that she has a heart, and her mouth is really tight enough................"
My eyes gradually warmed up, a drop of warmth fell, and the words on the letterhead were blurred, I hurriedly wiped my face and comforted myself, "Yushi is out of the sea of suffering, this is a good thing, a good thing.........."
But I don't know why, the more I comfort myself, the more empty my heart becomes. Although there is a fate, goodbye. But I know that I am afraid that I will never see Yushi again in this life................
I shrank in the corner of the bed and fell asleep in a daze, when I woke up again, it was the next morning, I only felt that my eyes were sore, I got up and saw that the pillow was wet a lot, I sat on the bed dizzily, and slammed my head to wake up, what about my letter!
Cai Qing came in with tea, saw the bedding pillows thrown all over the ground, exclaimed, and asked, "Miss!" What are you doing here? ”
"Cai Qing, did you enter my room yesterday, did you touch my letter?"
"Letter? Oh! It's for the slaves and maids to put it away. ”
Cai Qing turned around and took out the letter from the small cabinet on the dresser, I took the letter and breathed a sigh of relief, this is the last thing that Yushi left me, keep it by my side and have the right to treat Yushi as if I was still around, if I lost it, I really didn't have any thoughts at all.
"Miss, hurry up and change your clothes! Madame said that there are distinguished guests coming to the door today, so don't lose your courtesy! ”
"Distinguished guests? Who is under the post? ”
"How can this slave know! I only know that Mrs. is very important, let people clean the yard early, and let the housekeeper clean up a guest room, today before dawn, the florists sent a lot of flowers to be placed in the water pavilion in the east and west corners, and just now sent the groom out to pick up people! With such a grand posture, it was the first time that the slave maid had seen it. ”
"Got it, hurry up and get ready!"
After thinking about it, my mother really invited the flower girl back, and the flower girl circled around me, smacked my lips, pinched my wrists, and smacked my lips, the disgust in my eyes was very clear, and my mother was very anxious to watch from the side.
"Take a look around in circles!"
I turned around obediently, and the flower girl shook her head, smacked her lips, and sighed, "The best of rotten wood!" ”
The mother took a step forward and said anxiously, "Hua Niang...."
"Madam, don't say it!"
Hua Niang waved her hand, looking generous who should give me away, "Since I should come down from Hua Niang, there is no remorse, and I have good intentions for my mother, I understand." If I will rush your face again, this master and I will be done! ”
After my mother left, Hua Niang turned her eyes and looked at me, and sighed as if she was fated, and shook her head to Cai Qing beside me, "You go and prepare a cup of fragrant tea, so that your young lady can complete the apprenticeship!" ”
After the order, he didn't even bother to look at me, and sighed, "Why don't you lead the way to the water pavilion quickly, how long will it take!" ”
I reacted and led the way step forward, only listening to her sighing behind her along the way, and I felt tired for her.
Cai Qing brought tea, I stepped forward to give her tea, she sat in the water pavilion, full of sadness, very reluctant to take the cup, reluctantly took a sip, then waved Cai Qing to retreat, resigned to her fate as if to cheer up and talk to me.
"Although you were not born to dance, but fortunately, first, you didn't enter the palace to dance for the emperor's ladies, and secondly, you didn't want to be a world-famous dancing girl. Therefore, what you have to learn is different from the senior sisters in the Dance Pavilion, you have to focus on appreciation, and dance lightly. Focus on choosing a platform, and it will be easy to evacuate. You have to learn to use everything available to you to add highlights. It's not that hard to dance, but if you want everyone's eyes to be on you, that's too hard, remember? ”
I nodded, "Remember." ”
Hua Niang sighed, "Since you have said so much, there is no harm in saying one more word, you have to remember the sentence that diligence can make up for clumps, and only in this way can you save your pimple-like body." Got it? ”
"Got it."
Hua Niang's words are clear, but I didn't really do this, in the morning, my body was pumped by the wicker everywhere hurts, obviously said that I want to dance lightly, how still do I have to practice basic skills.
I couldn't help but ask her why, and Hua Niang said slowly, "Being light doesn't mean not practicing." Only then did I realize that her attention was only compared to herself, and it was even more difficult for me than heaven.
Hua Niang comes into the Ye Mansion every other day, every time she leaves me, she has to be paralyzed in bed for two days, just some of her body is here again, and the cycle returns, my old wounds are not healed, new injuries are added, the happiest thing every day is to lie in front of the window, take a look at the snow-white pear blossoms on the branches, don't say go out, is to take one more step I feel tired of panic.
I'm in such a state, my mother is happy and tight, I don't have to worry about me running out to play, and I deliberately run in front of me every once in a while, and ask me with great interest if I would like to go out to listen to the play and eat tea together, I am so tired that I don't even have the strength to raise my eyes, and I collapsed on the bed and let her scream.
This day the flower lady just left, I half lay in front of the window and looked at the pear tree outside the window stupidly, the sun was very good, and I was about to fall asleep, I was awakened by a shout, and almost fell to the ground. I fixed my mind, and turned my ear to the window, only to hear Yu Yi shouting outside.
"How can I still rest in the middle of the afternoon, I didn't wake up at all, or I just lay down! Qingqing! Green! You're lying too perfunctory! ”
"Yu Gongzi, how dare the slave and maid lie! This... This is true, since Miss Beat worshipped the flower girl as a teacher, the spirit is not as good as in the past, every day I love to lie there and take a nap, it is better to wait for Miss to wake up, the slave is clear to Miss, and then please come? ”
"Flower girl! Can Zhen Zhen worship under the flower lady's seat? She was not born to learn to dance, how could Hua Niang take her as an apprentice, you don't have to laugh anymore! ”
I really can't tell if you're laughing at me, or if you're just trying to understand me. Anyway, I couldn't bear it, so I knocked on the window and asked Cai Qing to let him in.
Yu pinched the handkerchief, jumped in, and saw me lying half-dead in front of the window, with great joy between my eyebrows.
I couldn't get used to his gloating little man, and I turned my eyes to look out the window.
"Oops! I blamed Xiao Qingqing for being wrong, I'm really resting! ”
I ignored him, and looked out the window, and when I saw that I was like this, I reached out and poked me, but I was covered in bruises, and his finger was better than the torture of all generations.
I screamed in pain, my face changed suddenly, I covered the sore spot, curled up and gasped, he was so frightened that the handkerchief was almost thrown out.
"Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you?"
I lifted my sleeve and showed him the bruised scar, "You don't look at how weak I am now!" One finger came and almost didn't take half my life! ”
"This.... This...... What's going on with this injury? If you did something wrong, please ask for family law! This good man, a piece of good meat on his body is gone, who is ruthless to go to his hand like this, see if I don't cut off his hand! ”
I gave him a blank look and sighed, "If you cut off her hand, you want me to deceive the teacher and destroy the ancestors!" ”
Yu Yi was stunned, sat down next to me, and asked, "Hua Niang beat you, why did she beat you?" ”
"Because I was born with industrious limbs, and rotten wood to the extreme. Although it hit me, the flower girl was not lightly injured. The first time I entered the house, I was full of confidence, and now when I see me, I sigh for a long time, the frowning brow is more powerful than the eighty-year-old mother-in-law, several times she wants to speak and stop, I look at the look, probably guessed that it may be to abandon me, but it hinders his face, so he endured it. In the end, I am stupid, otherwise why bother to get drunk like this! ”
"Whew! Where are you stupid! Yu Yi hugged his arms and said unevenly: "Ten are still long and short on hand!" You have the good of your own son, why bother to take the natural lack to fight the growth of others, this is not difficult for a strong man! ”
I pulled Yu Yi's sleeve and nodded excitedly, "It's still Miss Yu who understands me, what I said is not in vain that you and I have met once, and we are worthy of the love between us!" ”
"That flower girl is too, a shrewd person, how can she be Aunt Ye and willing to accept you as an apprentice!"
"I can see through this matter, if my mother recognizes the truth, it will not be inferior to the second aunt."
Yu Yi pinched his handkerchief and pursed his lips and smiled, "Only now do I understand that you are really careful enough to be a daughter!" ”
Cai Qing came in with tea, and prepared some small fruits on the table, I pointed to a plate of bean paste cake and said to Cai Qing, "Look at your memory, why did you put the bean paste cake on the table again." Withdraw and change to a sesame crisp, Yu Gongzi loves to eat that! ”
"Damn it! Committed a taboo! Let's go for it! ”
Yu smiled and said, "Don't bother with that, you can rest after you remove the dim sum!" I said a few words to your master and left, you just got it, and I didn't have the heart to eat. ”
I asked strangely, "Why are you in a hurry today, there is something going on at home?" ”
"It's not in the house, Daddy's has a sworn brother in the rivers and lakes, next month's fiftieth birthday, Daddy wants to serve Lafayette and can't go out of the palace to celebrate his birthday, I'm going to go to a banquet for Daddy to celebrate his birthday, this trip will take a month, I can't give you up, I want to go and see you."
Yu Yi's father is a powerful person, most of the people in the rivers and lakes disdain to associate with the people in the palace, so those who eat the emperor's grain can't afford to see the rivers and lakes, and those who go to the rivers and lakes look at the officials' families are not good. But his father is capable, he is a celebrity around Lafayette in the palace, and he is also like a fish in water outside the palace, such a character is rare in the world.
I nodded, and in response to a question, "You have never liked to have guards around you, saying that their behavior is rude and insulting, but when you go out, you pass by the mountain and water post, and there is no practitioner by your side, so it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be remembered." You bring a few more people with you, stay safe! ”
"Got it." Yu got together and said to me with a smile, "Time is running out, I should also go, come back this time, it will be the day of your time, and I will give you a big gift at that time, you will be very happy!" ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, I was afraid that he was just perfunctory to me, and told his back, "Don't forget to bring a few people around!" ”
Cai Qing came in to clean up and asked me if I wanted to eat lunch, and if I said anything, let the mother-in-law prepare it.
I shook my head, "I don't have an appetite, let them watch and do some at will, anyway, my mother is not at home, and my second aunt is busy with her feet and doesn't touch the ground, so I can't come back." Daddy didn't write from the palace saying that he wanted to come back. I'm alone, it's the same whether I eat or not. Besides, if you're discussing food with me now, why don't you let me rest for a while. ”
Cai Qing smiled, "Miss has reduced a lot recently, so let the mother-in-law bother to prepare meals, why don't you buy some snacks!" Miss will be more or less happy! ”
I was so tired that my eyelids seemed to stick together, and I let out a soft hum and fell asleep.
In the dream, the pear blossoms are scorching, like snow and jade, the dark fragrance fills the world, and the pure white pear blossoms spread from the water's edge to the sky's edge. Faintly, I heard the sound of the piano again, as if it was in front of me, and as if it was far away in the sky.
I searched in the pear orchard, and there was not half a piece of clothing, and when I was tired, I leaned under the tree to rest, and a piece of pure white fell from the branches in the wind.
Suddenly, the fragrance of flowers in the air changed, became cold, and there was a faint hint of frightening sandalwood, and I couldn't help but shiver and opened my eyes in a daze.
In a trance, I saw a young man in red leaning on a branch, smiling on his lips, and his red clothes were staggering, and he looked a little more handsome than the goblin in Mr. Pu's codex.
I thought I was still in a dream, reaching out to touch his jade-like delicate face, Shi Shiran opened his mouth and asked him, "There is no such beauty in the world, if there is, it is not a demon and a fox." Are you a demon? Or a fox? ”
