Chapter 67: Severance of Relations
When sending Mu Shi back to Qingliang Courtyard as a child, Ye Wenyan asked why he didn't see his eldest sister.
Ye Feiyu said: "The new yard has been cleaned up, Qingmei is cleaning up over there, maybe I don't know about the front yard yet." ”
Mu sighed, "It's okay if she doesn't know, Qingmei has a weak temperament, she can't accept this kind of scene, and she will be bullied if she goes." After speaking, he said to Ye Wen, "I have no opinion on you going to Suwang's Mansion to vent your anger, but it is too dangerous to do so." Who are the six highnesses? You have repeatedly gone to his house to make trouble, what do you let us do if something happens? ”
Mu Shi stopped and held his daughter's hand, "Listen, Yan'er, you are the meat that fell from my body, others beat you and hurt you, it is not only you who hurt, but also me, a mother." Sometimes I think, I'd rather you be like Qingmei, hide behind me all your life, and let me shelter you from the wind and rain, and I don't want you to rush forward to meet the enemy. But thinking about it again, I feel that Qingmei is also the life of being bullied, and it is better to face it than to avoid it, so I am quite conflicted. Yan'er, do you understand what I mean? Can you understand my worries and worries about you as a mother? ”
Ye Wenyan looked at Mu Shi's eyes, this age was still a good age for a woman in her previous life, but in this era, she has been urged by the years to clearly see a few gray hairs.
In fact, Mu is very similar to her mother in her previous life, she has a strong temperament, and she can't be bullied, no matter who dares to provoke her, she will stand up and argue with her to the end.
My mother was the chief daughter-in-law of the Xuanmai Night Patriarch until she died, but this mother did not have such a good life in this life, her husband had only been gone for more than a month, and there was almost no place for her in this family.
She didn't answer Muhammad's words, but just asked, "Does my mother like this Yipin General's Mansion?" ”
Mu Shi was stunned for a moment, and said casually: "What do you like or dislike, if you get married, you can only live here for the rest of your life." ”
She shook her head, "If you don't like it, there's no need to stay here forever." We all know that you have a deep relationship with your father, but your father is no longer there, and the best nostalgia is not to stay where he once lived, but to live a good life with his thoughts, so that he can rest assured under Jiuquan. What does my mother think will happen to my father when we see our current days? ”
Mu's eyes were red, "Although your father is a military general, he has an excellent temperament, and he has always spoken gently and gently, which is good to you and the old lady." I don't know how he would feel when he saw us like this, but I knew he didn't want this family to break up, and he didn't want us to leave here. ”
Ye Wenyan didn't want to say anything more, Muhammad's words had already been made clear, although the dead Ye family elder loved his wife and loved his children, he was also filial to the old lady. And this kind of filial piety is foolish and filial piety nine times out of ten, otherwise it would not have been the whole thing of sending one of the twin daughters to the old lady to raise.
"That's it, when I didn't say it." She smiled at Muhammad, "Mother, don't think about it, I just want you and your brother and sister to have a better life, so I won't say that again." As for the mother's worries and concerns, the daughter also knows in her heart, so she will not let herself be hurt again, and the incident on the second day of the lunar month will never happen again. ”
Mu felt uncomfortable, she knew that her answer had disappointed her daughter, but she couldn't help it, she had loved that man, even if the man was dead, she still loved it. She understands what her daughter says, but she is reluctant to leave a place where she can still smell her beloved. She didn't know how long she could stay in this mansion, but what if she didn't? A son and three daughters are not married, and she can't let her children even have an identity that they can speak. Yan'er is still young, but it's still simple to think.
When the cool courtyard arrived, Mu Shi said to Ye Feiyu, "You go and send Yan'er." ”
Ye Feiyu nodded, and pulled Ye Wenyan by the hand, "Let's go, brother will send you." ”
Ye Wenyan didn't speak, saluted Mu Shi, and followed Ye Feiyu away.
At this time, it is close to the end of the unitary time, the winter days are short, and the end of the unitary time is already completely dark. Because no one carried the lantern, Ye Feiyu was afraid that she would fall, so she carefully supported her all the way. But seeing that Ye Wenyan didn't speak, he was a little anxious, so he took the initiative to say: "Don't blame my mother, it's not so easy to enter a house, and it's even more difficult to get out of a house." You are still young, I don't know what people outside say to women who leave their husband's house, people advocate chastity archway, even if you don't remarry, as long as you leave your husband's house, it will be regarded as unchaste, or unfilial. So it's hard for a mother, she can't bear such a notoriety, she has to think about her children. ”
Ye Wenyan stopped and sighed heavily, "Brother, I thought it was bad, I'm sorry." ”
Ye Feiyu shook her head, "It's me who should say I'm sorry, I'm the eldest brother, but I didn't take care of you." Yan'er, brother understands what you think, and I have thought about the same thing. It's just that the mother thinks more and worries more than we do. But brother promised you that if you can't stay in this mansion one day, brother will definitely be on your side. ”
The little girl finally laughed, "I feel at ease with my brother." In fact, if you can't leave, even if your mother nods, now is not the time to go. The cause of my father's and grandfather's death has not yet been clarified, so how can I get out of here? Brother go back, there is a pendant with me, it's okay, I want to walk by myself for a while and think about something. ”
Ye Feiyu thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then you can go by yourself." It's just that what you said before the first seven, is this true? ”
"Nature is serious." She told Ye Feiyu, "I died once on the second day of the lunar month, and it was the first seven days after tonight, and my brother remembered to wake up and go to the mourning hall to offer incense to my dead sister." ”
She said no more than that, and hurried away with the pendant. Ye Feiyu stood in place for a while, sighed, and turned to go to the Yujing Garden, where he lived.
It's just that before he could take a few steps, he was stopped, and it was also a female voice, and he was also called: "Brother." ”
I went along with the prestige, only to find that it was a continuous night.
He was slightly surprised, because Ye Lian rarely spoke to him alone, and of the three younger sisters, he was the most alienated from this second sister. Of course, it's not just him, it's everyone here in the big house who is estranged from the night, including his mother Muhammad.
Seeing that he was stunned in place, she told him that he should not, so she stepped forward with some dissatisfaction and complained: "Isn't the difference between big brother too obvious?" can talk to the four girls softly, why are you so indifferent to me, the second sister? I'm not your own sister, didn't I come out of the belly of a mother with Wen Yan that night? ”
Ye Feiyu frowned slightly, unfolded again, and said as calmly as possible: "Lian Mian, don't talk nonsense, I'm just that the night is too dark, and I don't know too much for a while." Are you going back to the house? Brother to you. ”
Ye Lianmian still lived in the west courtyard with the Dafang family, she occupied the red makeup of Bailanxuan the night before, although there was nothing in the house, but it was still the largest courtyard in the west except for the cool courtyard, and even the Yujing Garden of Ye Feiyu could not be reached.
But she didn't want to go back to Bailanxuan tonight, she said to Ye Feiyu: "The fourth girl is angry with my grandmother, I want to go back to accompany my grandmother in a while, and I just want to talk to my eldest brother here." ”
Ye Feiyu nodded, "Okay, you can say it!" ”
Ye Lian took a deep breath, looked at the direction of Ye Wenyan's departure, and said after a while: "Why doesn't Big Brother plan for himself?" Now the family is the second uncle in charge, the second aunt is in charge of the feed, and the most honorable person is the old lady. You have repeatedly stood on the other side of Ye Wenyan, aren't you afraid of being affected by her? With her approach, sooner or later she will have to kill herself, and she doesn't want to watch her eldest brother die with her. ”
Ye Feiyu really couldn't listen to it anymore, "Lian Mian, don't talk nonsense, what is not dead, what did she do?" ”
"What did she do, don't you see? Let's just say that today's matter, what did she do badly, she had to run to smash the Su Palace. That's the palace, the mother of the sixth highness is still the queen mother in the harem, where did she get the courage to go wild? In case the Queen Mother is angry and wants to kill her, is it possible that we all have to be buried together? Anyway, I don't want to be killed by her, so I stay away from her, and when the time comes, if something happens, my grandmother and second uncle and aunt can also ask for mercy to save me. Big brother is a smart person, you can't understand this truth? Don't you understand who has a way out? ”
Ye Feiyu shook her head resolutely, "I don't understand, and I don't want to." All I knew was that I had to follow my mother and sister, and they were the only ones in this family, so I couldn't leave them and side with anyone else. ”
He looked at Ye Lianmian, and the more he looked at it, the more sad he became, "Lian Mian, although you grew up next to your grandmother, but in the end it was your mother, so such words should not come out of your mouth." Just talk to me, don't tell your mother, she'll be sad. ”
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but was grabbed by Ye Lianmian, "Brother! You also know that I am your own sister, so why have you never turned to me? I am also a human being, and I also long for my mother and brother to love me, but how do you treat me? My mother beat me, and you said this about me, you never really regarded me as a relative, where did you have the qualifications to teach me? I'm not wrong, whoever takes me the most from childhood to adulthood, I will be closest to whoever I am, this is human nature. I knew that I was today, and I shouldn't have been sent away in the first place, and since I did, don't blame me for always looking at outsiders. In the final analysis, this is all Mu Qianqiu's own sin, you can't blame me! ”
Ye Lian sniffed, and his eyes turned red.
Ye Feiyu's heart softened and wanted to wipe away her tears, but the outstretched hand was beaten back.
"I shouldn't have come to persuade you, what does it matter to me whether you live or die, whether you are good or bad? Blame me for being too greedy, it's not enough to have a grandmother, and I want a brother. But what kind of brother are you? You've never thought of me as your own sister in your heart. Ye Feiyu, you go back and tell Mu Qianqiu and Ye Wenyan that since they have chosen to die repeatedly, then do it yourself, don't take me with you, I have nothing to do with them, I will no longer be her Mu Qianqiu's child! ”
