370 azaleas
Tao Guifang was stunned when she saw Sun Yi, looked around, and saw him alone, she looked a little anxious, and wanted to open her mouth and hold back.
Sun Yi took a step forward and said, "Cousin, I beg you something." ”
Tao Guifang was silent and said, "Follow me." ”
went to a nearby teahouse, Sun Yi followed her and went to the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Er went in, Tao Guifang asked for a pot of tea, and when Xiao Er got the tea and went out to close the door, Sun Yi knelt down.
"Cousin, I didn't see my cousin the day before yesterday, and I've been waiting nearby. It used to be that I couldn't live with my cousin and couldn't live with the girl. But I have no choice but to ask my cousin to save him, he said that the most sorry thing in this life is my cousin, and I can't live with the second girl. It's me, it's me who can't live with my cousin, he listened to my idea, and my cousin hates me if he wants to hate him, and begs my cousin to save him. ”
Tao Guifang didn't look at him, his eyes were painful, looking at the wall, there was a painting hanging with a peach branch and a bird on a branch.
"That year, we left Taojiapu and came to Yingtianfu, he sold paintings for a living, and I went to settle accounts for people. , I can eat with a mouthful of food. Not long ago, a noble man took a fancy to his paintings and insisted that he go into the house to paint. But we inquired, and the noble man was ......"
It's a tricky household slave, where will they be treated as human beings.
He didn't say it, and Tao Guifang also understood that it was nothing more than a game played by nobles on a whim.
"He told me to go, go home, leave him alone, he said that he can live until now, and be content."
Sun Yi cried bitterly, tears all over his face.
"Cousin, why is it so hard for us to live? I can't live with my cousin, and I can't live with him, it's not because of me, he painted his paintings in Tao's shop, I like him, but I don't dare to tell my father and mother, marrying you and hurting you, it's my cowardice that I want to give my father and mother a peace of mind. He has no parents since he was a child, and said that no one has ever been so good to him, whether it is a man or a woman, the two of them have been together for a lifetime. Except for being sorry for my cousin, we haven't done anything bad, we just want to live well, but why don't we live? ”
Tao Guifang had tears on her face, she never blamed her cousin, and she never told her cousin about her hidden heart.
"He went to the nobleman's house and never came out. I waited at the back door every day, and I couldn't let people throw him in a mass grave. Cousin, he's still there, begging cousin to save him. I saw General Luo Xiao go to the dim sum shop and beg my cousin to save him, after we leave, I will take him home, and I will protect him for the rest of my life. ”
Tao Guifang understood that her cousin asked her to go to General Luo Xiao, and if the person was still there, let the person out. This kind of thing is useless even if you sue the yamen, you can only ask other people with status for help.
She nodded, Sun Yi said his name, Tao Guifang put down the piece of loose silver and got up and left.
Standing on the road, watching the luxuriously dressed woman get out of the sedan chair, and looking at the old woman who bent over with a bamboo basket.
One piece of the world.
Tao Guifang returned to the shop, Fu Xiyun asked her to go to the back to rest, she went to the back room, closed the door, took out a handkerchief she embroidered, and kept it with her, but she never used it.
The embroidered bird had faded, and the man said it was a cuckoo bird.
Many years ago, on a beautiful day, the autumn breeze was cool, and she remembered that day she was wearing a turquoise skirt with azaleas embroidered by herself, and the pattern was bought in a bookstore.
Everyone said that the embroidery was good, and the neighbors praised who married her blessed, and the embroidery work could also subsidize the family.
She was going to buy a few more patterns and embroider a gift for her grandmother's birthday.
When she went to the bookstore, there was a young man talking to the shopkeeper, and her heart was pounding, she had never seen such a handsome man. It looks like in a painting, with clear eyebrows and well-dressed.
The sentence in the book: If there is a bandit gentleman, you must not be ridiculous, that's it.
She listened attentively, and it turned out that her embroidery pattern was drawn by this man, and the shopkeeper was a distant relative of his.
The man said that the cuckoo bird screamed day and night and coughed up blood, staining the flowers all over the mountain red, hence the name azalea.
The man left, and she picked a few tricks, among which was the cuckoo bird.
After that, she couldn't help but go to the bookstore to pick out tricks, buy them back and take a closer look, hoping to meet a man again.
When he met her, he lowered his head and chose a trick, never daring to look up at him.
More than half a year has passed, and she wants to tell her mother, but she can't open her mouth, what to say? Say you like someone?
When her aunt died, she embroidered a rich and noble house, won praise, and also set her family affairs.
Cousin of my uncle's family.
She was silent, and her mother kept telling her about the benefits of marrying into her uncle's family, afraid that she would be bullied by someone else's family if she had a soft temperament. The cousin has a good temperament and has been familiar with it since he was a child, which is better than marrying someone who doesn't know the roots.
got married, and the cousin was as gentle as before, except for the day when they were together in the cave room, the rest of the time the husband and wife had different dreams.
She thought that her cousin didn't like her and just treated her as a cousin, just like she treated her cousin as a cousin.
With a big girl, she lived a peaceful life, and her mother-in-law showed her face again, and then pointed at Sang and scolded Huai, but she didn't react.
Her husband has someone in his heart, she doesn't want to ask, she just hopes that her husband can tell her mother-in-law that it is good to let her reconcile and leave, or to include that person, and she will be fulfilled.
She took the big girl, guarded her patterns, embroidered flowers for a lifetime, and embroidered the indescribable azaleas.
My cousin had a study and never let her go, and when my mother-in-law went in and got something, my good-natured cousin suddenly got angry, and she stood in the yard and saw her cousin close the door.
But the moment she closed the door, she saw the paintings in the study.
No wonder.
She cried.
She tore up all the patterns she had brought as a dowry, picked them up and glued them one by one, and put them under the box.
She has never been pregnant again, her mother-in-law scolded and scolded, her cousin told her in-laws that it was his body problem, and her mother-in-law was in a hurry and secretly gave her cousin all kinds of home remedies.
One day, her cousin took her to Shangfeng County and said that there was a doctor there, and the husband and wife had to go together.
But when she had drunk tea that night, she saw the man come in in a daze.
She was ashamed and angry, unable to move.
However, there was a hint of joy in my heart.
How could she be?
When she got home, she thought she was sinful and didn't deserve to live.
In the dead of night, she was ready to hang on the beams of the house, and the big girl hugged her legs and cried, even if she cried, she didn't dare to cry loudly.
She is holding the big girl, what should she do if the big girl dies?
Who knew that with the second girl, she secretly jumped in the house and strangled her stomach, but she still gave birth.
The second girl born is like a cat, why do the sins of the father and mother let the child bear it?
She cried mournfully, and wanted to protect the second girl, but she desperately didn't save the second girl.
It was her sin not to have come into this world.
Unexpectedly, her mother's family knew about this, and her cousin took him away, and her eyes full of tears could not see the man kneeling in front of her.
Okay, they're relieved.
She took all the paintings from the study.
In the days to come, I always remembered the feeling of wearing an azalea dress that day.
She doesn't have that mood anymore in her life, but she can't forget it.
Her mother and grandmother advised her to marry, but she could not marry someone else with such a mood.
When the eldest girl got married, she went to the temple to recite scriptures to atone for her sins.
But when I saw my cousin just now and learned about the situation, they are all people with a hard life, and saving him is also saving myself.
