Chapter 192: Meeting 9
"Does that girl really look exactly like our young lady?"
"It's exactly the same, the fat and thin are exactly the same, and even the voice is the same, how can there be such a similar person in this world, I just served her tea, and I was really surprised!"
"What kind of temperament is she, is she like our young lady?"
"This ...... I didn't see it, but I saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, and she was reluctant to be polite! ”
"I heard that this girl had a lot of trouble in the house eight years ago, and finally ran away from home on her own...... At that time, our lord was not a Beijing official, shhhh ”
With a squeak, the door of the main hall of the Su Mansion slowly pushed open. The closed room was immediately flooded with bright light, and every corner lit up.
A lady with a graceful figure walked in with the support of a woman's slave and maid.
Her cloud-like hair bun is swayed with gold hairpins, and her dress is tied with precious rings, and every step is swaying with gold beads and crisp sounds.
When she got closer and was less backlit, Bai Jinyu could see her fair and bright face clearly.
This is her mother-in-law, Wen Ruolan, the mistress of this squire mansion.
It's been like a few years, time hasn't left a trace on Wen Ruolan's face, she still looks so beautiful, so young, and she is not bad when she separates from them.
Bai Jinyu was a little in a trance, eight years, she has grown from a child to be as tall as her, and she has not changed at all, she has to admit that a woman like her mother is indeed a stunner, and compared with Mrs. Squire and the lady of the tailor shop, she is obviously more suitable for the former.
When Bai Jinyu was looking at Wen Ruolan, Wen Ruolan was also looking at her. Two biological mothers and daughters who have not seen each other for many years, when they met for the first time, they were not ecstatic, they did not hug their heads and cry, and they were a little scary.
"Mother." Bai Jinyu spoke, and somehow, she couldn't shout such an intimate word as "mother" to the woman in front of her.
Wen Ruolan's charming eyes trembled, and she said, "You're here......"
Her tone turned a thousand times, as if she had swallowed a thousand words, and finally chose this bland sentence, which was so bland that it made people feel that they had only been separated for dozens of days.
"Hmm." Bai Jinyu replied softly and made up for a junior gift. She specially wore women's clothes today, wearing a light yellow skirt and slightly light makeup, looking like a well-behaved daughter.
The drunken wind blowing from outside the courtyard wall into the room didn't seem to be able to blow away the stagnation of the past. In other words, from the moment he came in, the entire Shilang Mansion to the present gave Bai Jinyu a feeling of being too serious, not at all like a happy event was going to be held in ten days.
The woman helped Wen Ruolan sit down on the main seat in the room, and stretched out her hand to ask Bai Jinyu to sit down.
Bai Jinyu sat down in response and looked at her mother carefully. Just now, she only paid attention to Wen Ruolan's face, but now she is looking at her spirit and body.
"Mother seems to be slightly ill? I don't know why? Bai Jinyu looked at it for a while and asked with concern.
Wen Ruolan nodded slightly, took a cup of tea made by the woman for her, and said with a gentle expression: "Since you left, I have been like this, you child, my mother just said a few angry words back then, you took it seriously like this, and left!" ”
Bai Jinyu felt a pang in his heart when he heard this, and suddenly felt extremely indebted, and he was embarrassed. This is the first time she has felt like this since the day she left Su Mansion.
She had never felt sorry or regretted running away from home before, but now facing Wen Ruolan, she actually had a hint of such a meaning. Bai Jinyu has to admit that after many years, her feelings still seem to be drawn by her mother.
She has no solution, maybe it's because of blood relationship!
Wen Ruolan said with concern: "When did you arrive in Chang'an and how did you get here?" ”
Bai Jinyu said: "Those who came by water arrived the day before yesterday." ”
Wen Ruolan looked surprised: "You arrived the day before yesterday, why did you come today?" ”
Wen Ruolan's tone implied some reproach, Bai Jinyu felt a little abrupt when she heard it, but this question was not difficult, and she could ask for help from this time, so she said truthfully: "Mother, my daughter didn't come to Chang'an alone this time, and my daughter also brought a nine-year-old junior brother......
Wen Ruolan listened calmly, waiting for her to continue.
Bai Jinyu said: "I can't hide it, my daughter came to Su Mansion today to ask for something." ”
Wen Ruolan said: "What's the matter? ”
Bai Jinyu sighed softly: "The day before yesterday, my daughter and junior brother arrived in Chang'an and had two meals in Chang'an. The daughter is fine, but the younger brother Qianxi suffers from the disease of adaptation...... And the symptoms seem to be quite serious, I went to several doctors, and the doctors said that they need to take the soil of their hometown to relieve the symptoms. ”
Wen Ruolan nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Where is your junior brother now?" ”
Bai Jinyu said truthfully: "My daughter temporarily placed him in the inn, and now he has not finished dripping, he is pitiful, and he is still waiting for me to find the soil in Luzhou!" ”
Wen Ruolan held the handkerchief under her cheek, showing a worried look, and almost immediately said in a straight voice: "This is not possible, I will quickly send a few family members to accompany you and bring your little junior brother to the house." I know a few medical officers and I asked them to come over and treat him again! “
When Bai Jinyu heard this, she raised her head suddenly, she was a little surprised that it went so smoothly, and she immediately responded and thanked: "Thank you, Mother, I'll bring Qianxi over later!" ”
Wen Ruolan soothed: "You relax," she paused here before she said, "You...... Let's come and stay here for a while! ”
Her voice suddenly weakened, and her eyes looked straight and enthusiastic at Bai Jinyu, somewhat akin to pleading.
Although Bai Jinyu feels that after eight years, such a close intimacy may not be a good thing. But I couldn't help but see Wen Ruolan's eyes like this, and I couldn't help but move slightly in my heart, and I couldn't say anything if I refused to shirk.
Thinking that this would only be good for Qianxi, she nodded lightly.
After being silent for a while, Bai Jinyu looked around, it had been a long time since she entered the door, but she hadn't seen Su Lihua yet, she didn't know what the reason was, so she asked Wen Ruolan: "Mother, where is Lihua, why haven't you come out to meet me yet?" ”
Wen Ruolan made a decision, glanced at the woman beside her, and turned to Bai Jinyu and said, "Lihua has been incense outside the city for the past few days, and she is not in the house. But she will be back in the next day or two, and you will stay in the house and wait for her, and she will be very happy to see you when she returns! ”
Bai Jinyu heard that this was unfortunate, and was slightly disappointed in his heart. But considering that the meeting is a time or two for the next two days, there is no need to rush, the most important thing at the moment is to recover Qianxi's body, so there is no objection.
At that moment, Wen Ruolan sent the carriage and family of the Su Mansion to accompany Bai Jinyu to the inn to pick up Qianxi.
